Doomsday Wonderland: One thousand two hundred and thirty-one
[This is to prevent theft. I took a day off and suddenly realized what a rest day is...]
...In the darkness, something stung the back of Lin Sanjiu's head, causing a dull pain. It had been quite a while. She was very sleepy and unwilling to move, so she just turned over in a daze.
The next second, she suddenly sat up from her dream, gasping for air.
Lin Sanjiu lowered his head and looked at his trembling hands - dead? I am dead? Everyone is dead? ——She turned around blankly and found that Mather and Luze were sleeping side by side on the ground not far away. The two frowned, as if they were having a nightmare. Although they still haven't woken up, the rising and falling of their chests proves that they are still alive and well.
So, that was a dream just now...? Lin Sanjiu got up from the ground, still feeling that her hands and feet were cold and her whole body was weak. The moment she died, the moment her bones and internal organs were crushed, the moment she slipped into endless darkness, the pain was almost unreal... She shivered fiercely. , are these all dreams?
She got up, opened the car door, and stepped out of the car. She urgently needs to breathe some fresh air to clear her head...
As soon as I stepped onto the ground outside the car, a harsh "You are my little apple" suddenly rang out, tearing through the night.
Lin Sanjiu paused. I heard it again, just like last time... No, I should say it was like in a dream.
The noisy ringtone did not ring for as long as in the dream. Instead, it was quickly cut off after singing only two sentences.
The night returned to the dead silence it had before.
Lin Sanjiu did not move, staring quietly in the direction of Citroën.
After quite a while, the field mouse still didn’t come out to wake them up.
Just when she was a little impatient and planned to walk over to take a look, she heard a low exclamation in the bus, and then Mather shouted: "Lu Ze! Xiaojiu!"
Lin Sanjiu hurriedly rushed back to the carriage. At this moment, Lu Ze also took a sharp breath of air, woke up, and sat up - the three people's eyes suddenly met in the air. Only then did I realize that everyone else's faces were completely white.
"I dreamed that we (we) were all dead!"
Almost the moment their eyes met, the three people spoke in unison.
"Eh...what's going on?" Lu Ze was the first to react, "You also dreamed that you were dead?"
"It's not just me..." Lin Sanjiu said with a gloomy face, "I dreamed that all four of us were dead. Please tell us about your dream first!"
Just like the sequence of death, Lu Ze was the first to speak: "The dream just now was too real, wasn't it? I dreamed that we were driving to the factory area, and suddenly a car fell from the roof. The fallen species, it shattered the glass on the other side, all at once, all at once... it gave me my belly..."
He looked pale and could hardly speak.
"Huh? How could this happen? In my dream, you were attacked by the fallen species. As a result, your truck turned and I hit it..." Mather's face widened with fear. His light brown pupils were staring at Lu Ze. "As a result, I was seriously injured. When I was climbing out of the driver's seat with difficulty, then——"
"Then there was an explosion, and you died too." When Lin Sanjiu interrupted, she felt like she was covered in cold sweat.
"How did you know?"
"Because when all this happened, I was on the side..." Lin Sanjiu closed her eyes, as if she had returned to that moment again: "After you died, my truck rushed back and crushed you to death. Killed me and the field mouse... It was like God was just playing tricks and killed us all like this!"
"What, what's going on...our dreams are connected?" Lu Ze muttered to himself.
Mother and Lin Sanjiu frowned, having nothing to say for a moment. Just when the atmosphere between the few people was tense, a field mouse's voice sounded from the car door: "...Is everyone up?"
I don’t know if it was an illusion, but Lin Sanjiu felt that there was a hint of tremor in his voice.
Did he also have the same dream?
As if to confirm the thoughts of the three people, the field mouse put his head in nervously and said: "I want to tell you something, don't scold me. I just... dreamed that all of us were dead. Don’t say I’m unlucky, but we really have to be careful today, that dream is too realistic! Hey, what’s wrong with you, why are you looking at me like this?”
Lin Sanjiu felt like she had a splitting headache. She waved to the field mouse and said, "We are too... Come in, it seems we have to take care of this matter."
The field mouse said "Oh" and hurriedly got into the car. The four of them sat in a circle.
...Things seemed very clear. The four people experienced a dream together for some unknown reason - and what was surprising was that although the time of death was earlier than later, the details in each person's dream were perfect. On the ground.
For example, the bang that Mather heard was probably made by the fallen species that killed Lu Ze - that fallen species should have ran all the way from the roof of the bus to the roof of the truck, and then attacked Lu Ze Lu Ze launched the attack - even Lin Sanjiu was hungry and ate a cookie in the middle of the attack, or the joke the field mouse told Lu Ze was confirmed by each other.
Listening to the heated discussion between the three people, Lin Sanjiu, who was puzzled, raised his head in frustration, exhaled, and then froze.
"Wait...!"
"What's wrong?" The three people looked at her in confusion. "Do you have any ideas?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Sanjiu asked a completely irrelevant question: "Mother, which route does this bus come from?"
Mother thought for a while: "It seems to be either 89 or 90. I can't remember, but it should be about the same."
"...Look." Lin Sanjiu pointed at the circuit map hanging above the drop-off door.
All the stop signs on the route map have disappeared, and the only thing left is a big, bright red "2".
"Did I remember wrong? Is this the No. 2 bus?" Mather glanced at Lin Sanjiu in confusion, "But is this important, Xiaojiu?"
Lin Sanjiu stared at the word "2" for a long time, then suddenly jumped up and cursed: "I X!"
"What happened?" the other three people asked one after another.
"I thought this thing looked familiar! I remembered it!" Lin Sanjiu said while feeling a patch of hair stand up on the back of his neck. "I...I also saw this thing in my dream just now. The only difference is that in the 'dream' it showed 3 instead of 2."
She glanced at the faces of the three people one by one, and emphasized: "I have been in this city for several years, and I have never seen anything like this! All buses should have route maps hanging here. That’s right! In other words, this number only came later!”
As if suddenly thinking of something, Mather made a sound and covered her mouth.
Lin Sanjiu's solemn voice seemed to weigh a thousand pounds: "Don't you understand yet? This means that either we are in a dream right now, or the matter of death is not a dream at all!"
Lu Ze pinched his arm subconsciously and reacted. "I'm 100% sure that I'm not in a dream now... It's strange. If we all really died once, how can we still be fine now?"
Lin Sanjiu was about to speak, but his attention was attracted by the field mouse's somewhat deep voice.
"It's a number... The first time it was 3, we died, and then it became 2... Is this counting down? In other words, we still have 2 chances."
This was the first time Lin Sanjiu had seen Vole like this since the four of them had been together. He lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, but somehow, the atmosphere around him had an indescribable feeling...
She took a deep breath and said, "Actually, I think so too."
The air froze once again, and everyone fell into deep thought.
"Does this thing have a time limit?" Lu Ze crossed his arms and broke the silence first: "If there is, wouldn't it be great if we just sit here and wait for its time limit to pass safely before we go on the road? ?"
Mother sighed: "I'm afraid it won't be that simple, right? Anyway, what is this...why does this happen..."
Before Mather could finish her emotion ~IndoMTL.com~ Vole suddenly interjected, with a surprisingly firm tone: "I think sitting here is definitely not possible. Who knows if there is a time limit for this? If you keep waiting, , will other things happen? These are all unknown. However, the road we walked last time and what dangers there will be are already clear... So I think we should be careful this time. Better."
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but glance at the field mouse again.
No matter how many fallen species you have killed and what kind of dangerous situations you have escaped from, one thing is self-evident nonsense: no one alive has ever died.
However, just now, Lin Sanjiu experienced a death - a real death in which both body and mind disappeared. The impact of death is unlike anything else in the world: it is the dark cloud that has hung over human beings from the moment they were born, and it is the ultimate terror that all wise men cannot avoid.
Even now thinking back to the moment of his death, Lin Sanjiu could not help but tremble.
But Vole has been able to analyze the situation so calmly... She couldn't help but praise: "Vole, I really can't see how you can still be so calm after going through something like that."
After being praised by her, the field mouse returned to his normal appearance in an instant, and said with a slick smile: "Hey, a little person like me has a cheap life, and I have earned my life by living till now. Dare you be vulnerable?"
Lin Sanjiu withdrew her gaze and said nothing.
The field mouse's words quickly convinced everyone. The few people discussed for a while, and soon reached a consensus: this time, they would follow the field mouse's instructions and set off with extra caution. Since we have taken precautions, I think a few people will be safe this time, right?
