Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1376 About them, about the future

At 08:30 in the morning of the same day, Deng Yilan's heart went cold.

She didn't expect that the plan she had discussed with Uncle Zhang for several days was blocked on the day she was going to implement it.

"Go back to your own room," a few male nurses yelled as they walked along the corridor, and drove every patient who was still wandering in the corridor back to their room: "All go, you are not allowed to come out without notice!"

The last sentence is actually meaningless at all. Whenever they confirm that all the people in a ward are complete, they will lock the door; the corridor is full of door panels and keys echoing.

When Deng Yilan was startled by the loud voice, she was standing in the corridor waiting for Uncle Zhang.

He recently told her many things about evolutionists, some of which sounded unbelievable, almost like the ravings of a madman, and some of which made her faintly envious after hearing it.The two talked the most, of course, was this morning's escape. The plan was not complicated, but it was a little risky: Every Wednesday at ten o'clock in the morning, a truck delivering fruits, vegetables, meat and vegetables would drive outside the cafeteria behind the hospital Unloading, when the time comes, the two are going to sneak into the truck and leave the mental hospital.

When Deng Yilan just woke up, she glanced out the window, and a cloud as dark as the sky rose in her heart.If it rains today, will the truck still come to deliver?
The two still followed the original plan, first went to the yard to water the potted plants, and finally confirmed a surveillance blind spot.After pouring the water, Uncle Zhang and her separated to prepare; but when the scheduled time came, she waited anxiously for ten minutes. Uncle Zhang didn't come, but the nurse came, as if it was the second ominous person today. omen.

A male nurse came over, waved to Deng Yilan, and asked loudly, "Which room are you from? Don't stay here, go back quickly."

"I, I'm in room 406," Deng Yilan casually reported a number, feeling so flustered that her palms were sweating.Seeing that the male nurse seemed to be quite talkative despite his unfamiliar face, she asked again: "Excuse me, why do you want us to go back to the room?"

The male nurse motioned her to go upstairs and return to her room, and gave her a short answer: "Today, the whole city is under martial law—hey, you! Where are you going?"

Martial law?

Deng Yilan's mind went blank for half a second, she suddenly came back to her senses, and hurried to the stairs when their attention was attracted by a patient next to her; she dodged and hid in the water room, her ears were full of The hum of blood rushing.

The whole city is under martial law, won't the transport trucks come?

Uncle Zhang didn't come, she didn't know what to do for a while.If she continues to wait in the ward building, she will be driven back to her room and locked up sooner or later, and today's plan will be ruined; but even if she goes to the backyard alone, the truck will not come, and Uncle Zhang doesn't know where she went, what else? use?

Deng Yilan also knows that the rational decision is probably to hold back today and wait for the next opportunity.But she wanted to go home so much, and the thought of having to wait another week made her unable to breathe with that strong sense of resentment—she survived all this time by relying on fantasy to escape; It should have come true, but all of a sudden it was nothing, she couldn't stand it.

Moreover, if she runs out during the martial law period, does it mean that there will be no pursuers?

Almost without thinking, when the nurse poked her head in to have a look, she immediately got into the gap between the sink and the water reservoir and hid.The purpose of driving the patient back to the room was to avoid accidents during the martial law; since it was only a protective measure, the nurse was not very vigilant, took a cursory look around, and left the water room.

When the people on the first floor were almost gone, Deng Yilan hurried out.She didn't dare to imagine if someone was watching her through the camera, so she strode towards the back door and pulled the handle, only to find that the door was locked.

She froze for two seconds, as if she didn't believe in the door lock, she pulled it a few more times in vain.The two door panels were tightly closed and would not shake.

If the back door can't go, isn't there only the front hall left?She has to get out from under the noses of a bunch of nurses and go around to the backyard?That is simply impossible.Rather than rushing in today and making them vigilant, it is better to wait for the next opportunity with peace of mind...

Thinking so, Deng Yilan turned around at the fork, her body seemed to have an idea, and she turned to the corridor leading to the front door.In the skylight coming in from the gate, quite a few hospital workers were gathering, all looking up at the TV screen hanging in the lobby; a nurse just poked a colleague holding the remote control and said, "You turn the voice on." Open it up."

They are all gathered in the lobby, so the office should be empty now, right?

Deng Yilan hurriedly stooped down, sneaked into one of the nurses' stations with the door half open, and looked around, the heart hanging in her throat finally fell back.Standing by the door, she caught the news broadcast from the lobby.

"It is suspected that lawless thugs of unknown origin and possessing dangerous abilities have occupied the Tongdi Wharf in this city..."

"Currently a large number of... have surrounded the pier..."

"...Citizens are not allowed to go out, and everything is waiting for notice. Those who violate the regulations during the martial law period can be sentenced to [-] days of detention for the crime of disturbing the government and provoking trouble..."

Deng Yilan blinked, feeling as if she had guessed what had happened.

Glancing outside again, she found that everyone's heads were raised high, all staring at the TV on the wall.They had their backs to the gate, and maybe she could walk behind them—no, no, the security guard on the other side of the lobby was sitting behind a desk, also staring eagerly at the screen.As soon as she walked out, she would be directly exposed to the other party's sight.

Uncle Zhang was originally responsible for collecting casual clothes so that the two of them could change into hospital gowns; now that Uncle Zhang has gone somewhere, she is wearing a hospital gown, making it difficult for her to walk.

She looked back around the room and found that there was no coat draped over a chair.She was so anxious that her mouth was parched, her eyes subconsciously turned around the cup on the table, but suddenly she saw a phone.

Deng Yilan was about to walk over, when she heard a muffled thunder rolling past in the distance - she thought it was finally going to rain, but unexpectedly, the thunder sounded continuously, so dense that there was no gap, shaking the ground under her feet Slightly trembling; she hurriedly supported the table to stand still, and heard the screams of everyone outside: "It's really a blast! My God, it's so scary..."

Fire on Copperland Pier?

It's impossible for an evolutionary to resist a modern army, right?
Deng Yilan stabilized her mind, hurriedly picked up the phone, and glanced at the wall.

On the wall is a list listing the extension numbers in the hospital.She dialed one of the extension numbers, and as the receiver rang, the phone rang in the hallway—then, the security guard's voice came from the receiver: "Hello?"

"Someone just took advantage of the chaos and smashed the camera at the entrance of the front yard." Deng Yilan didn't know how this idea got into her mind, and let it slip out of her mouth: "Go and see!"

Before the other party could respond, she hung up the phone with a snap.She squatted at the door, and when she quietly looked out, she found that the security guard said "Hello" a few more times before putting down the phone. After a moment of hesitation, she stood up.

Very good!
As soon as the security guard came out of the gate, Deng Yilan immediately slipped out lightly.Everyone's attention was attracted by the TV, and even she herself almost stopped to take a look when she passed by.

The news actually broadcast the battle on the pier in real time. She had never seen such a big scene in her life, and it was frightening to glance at it. How could those evolutionaries survive in the flames of war of this intensity?From time to time, there are narrators who introduce the ins and outs of this "unlawful thug with dangerous abilities" to the audience-it seems that the matter of the evolutionary is about to be made public?
She resisted the urge to look more; as she circled into the backyard, she felt her heart burst.

Except for the constant roar from the sky, there was silence in the backyard, and the gate was naturally locked.Dark clouds weighed heavily on the top of the head, as if they would fall down and crush the earth at any time; in the distance, dark and violent wind pillars like a mad dragon rose up in the distance, circling, as if they wanted to blow the world off the ground - from such a distance, Deng Yilan was blown by the strong wind so that her black hair fluttered and her clothes rattled.

Looking around, there was not even a single person.She hurriedly hid under the courtyard wall to avoid the wind, and suddenly felt someone slap her on the shoulder, almost knocking her soul out of her body—Deng Yilan almost let out a scream, turned around and saw the person coming, and immediately swallowed the scream , whispered: "Uncle Zhang!"

Uncle Zhang's usually expressionless face now turns red and white from excitement and nervousness.

"Something went wrong, so I had to come here and wait for you." He looked around, pulled Deng Yilan into the blind corner of the camera, and said in a low voice, "I thought you wouldn't come...you heard Well, today is under martial law."

Deng Yilan nodded quickly. "There's a fight with the Evolutionary at the pier, so there won't be any more trucks," she asked with a little helplessness, "How do we get out? Are we going to climb the wall?"

There are a few tall trees in the backyard, and some of their branches and crowns extend beyond the wall; if they can climb the tree first and then climb to the top of the wall, then they can indeed climb out-the problem is, what is on the other side of the wall? nor.If they jumped off a wall two or three meters high and hurt their legs and feet, they would not be able to run very far, and within 10 minutes they would be caught by the chasing workers.

"That's not necessary, the wind is too strong, it's not safe." Uncle Zhang raised a bulging plastic bag in his hand, and said amidst the wind and thunder, "Look, I found a good thing."

"What?" Deng Yilan's eyes lit up, she desperately needed good news.

"I got two sets of security uniforms, and we can go out in a fair manner." Seeing her hastily took the bag, Uncle Zhang couldn't help laughing, "Slow down!"

"You're amazing," Deng Yilan opened the bag, and said with both surprise and joy, "You can actually get a security uniform—"

When she said this, she reached out and took out a ball of fabric inside, and the hot blood rushing through her body froze in her veins at once.She couldn't believe her eyes, shook it vigorously, threw it on the ground, and took out another large ball of cloth from the bag.

Uncle Zhang bent down, picked up the ball of white sheets on every hospital bed, and complained: "What are you doing on the ground? Hurry up and change your clothes."

Deng Yilan trembled slightly, her hands and feet felt cold, she stared at the white cloth exposed from the plastic bag, not daring to look at Uncle Zhang.This world is so ridiculous.

Uncle Zhang is still so meticulous and thoughtful.

"I only got the security uniform, but I don't have a work permit, so we have to be careful when we move, so as not to make people suspicious." He shook off the sheet, threw his hands over his shoulders, and draped it off. "These are all men's clothes. If you are not tall enough, just roll up your trousers... What's wrong? Why are you crying?"

Deng Yilan squatted on the ground, feeling that all her strength was gone.She didn't even realize that she was crying, but her trachea and chest throbbed with pain from crying too hard.Uncle Zhang has told so many unimaginable worlds, so many stories belonging to evolutionaries, so longing to leave here and return to the Twelve Realms... When she was listening, she didn't even realize that Uncle Zhang would never leave up.

She felt that Uncle Zhang stretched out a hand, and she handed it over tremblingly, holding his dry, warm hand tightly.

I'm sorry, Uncle Zhang, I'm sorry.

"You are so happy," Uncle Zhang said in the same tone, clear, rational, and a little excited. "Me too. I have been looking forward to the day when other evolutionists will come to pick me up. I have been looking forward to it for a long time...Look at the tornadoes in the distance, they are caused by evolutionaries."

Deng Yilan was out of breath from crying, she nodded vigorously, her vision was all gone. "I'm sorry," she whispered, "I'm sorry, Uncle Zhang..."

"What are you apologizing for?"

"No...it's nothing." Deng Yilan grabbed him tightly, hoping that this scene was just a dream, and when she woke up, she still had companions and hope.

She let go of her hand slowly.

Wiping away her tears, Deng Yilan tried her best to smile at him: "Uncle Zhang, you go first. The two of you together are too conspicuous... I'll follow after you."

Uncle Zhang was covered under a white sheet, which was tied in a knot at the front of his neck.He straightened the sheets on his body, nodded and said, "You're right. Then I'm leaving. Look at me like a security guard, right?"

Deng Yilan closed her eyes and nodded. "……picture."

When she opened her eyes again, the backyard was empty under the wall.The plastic bag on the ground rustled in the strong wind, and looking around, it seemed that she was the only one in this dark and heavy world.She walked slowly under the tree, looked up, gritted her teeth and began to climb up.

This was the first time she climbed a tree in her life. Fortunately, there was no one around, and she finally climbed up the trunk slowly; but her hands and face were bruised, and the strong wind shook the branches. She didn't know when she would be thrown off - when she finally climbed up the wall, she looked back.

In the distance, Uncle Zhang was still walking slowly with his back covered in a white sheet; there were already several people in front of him, surrounding him.

When Deng Yilan lowered her head and couldn't help her nose sore, she heard the sound of music coming from afar.

The music became wider and wider, sweeping across the entire city like a wave, and rang out from all the radios, TVs, loudspeakers, and mobile phones near the hospital, gradually growing stronger and more melodious, shaking the air between heaven and earth trembling .

It was a song she had never heard before.

It rises from the land in all directions like countless wildfires drifting into the prairie; that voice really exists in the human world, pouring out, screaming, and singing loudly toward the gray, low but vast sky.

Deng Yilan couldn't understand the lyrics, but she understood what he was singing.

She bent down slowly, curled up on the wall, and let every syllable, every beat of the drum wash away from her body, piercing through her, and rushing to the distance.The earth trembled suddenly amidst the singing, and an inexplicable violent roar sounded from the sky, heavy raindrops fell, and the rain curtain covered the sky, as if the whole world was about to fall apart at this moment, ushering in the end.

... Deng Yilan couldn't remember exactly what happened afterwards.

She only remembered that she seemed to have seen a huge fireball in the sky, the waves thrown into the sky, and was almost thrown out by the shaking earth... When she regained her senses, the sky and the earth were dark, and the rain was pouring.She was drenched and shivering from the cold, but she miraculously held on to the wall and remained where she was.She raised her head and looked into the distance, but couldn't see anything clearly.

The singing gradually died down, the sound of the rainstorm took over the world, and even the artillery fire fell silent.

What happened on the pier in the distance where Han Jun was taken away?
When Deng Yilan was in a daze, a cool and soft voice rang out from the whole city instead of music, like a feather gently sweeping the earth.

"...I see. Sister, what do you plan to do with this world?"
