Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 1729 Human Forest
What was she thinking?

How could she have so much confidence in her own judgment that she dared to rush into the haze so thick that it seemed impossible to tear it apart?
Why didn't you simulate the gift bag before acting?Is it too late to turn around now?

Countless regrets and fears seemed to be reversed to a deafeningly loud volume in an instant, which made Lin Sanjiu's feet go limp, and almost tripped on the ground—she looked back, and there was nothing but thick smog everywhere she could see. Can you see a little red shadow?It might be too late, she will be drowned and buried alone in this deep sea of ​​lead-colored smoke, Lin Sanjiu thought.

In the dense fog, something rushed past the ground, which startled her, and she regained consciousness in the cold sweat that broke out instantly.

It seemed to be something like a mouse, and it fled away in the blink of an eye. It sounded small from the rustling sound, and soon became silent.Lin Sanjiu took two heavy breaths, checked and felt her limbs again - under the pressure of her will, her arms were hanging stiffly beside her legs, and her feet were not lifted into the air.

For a while, she couldn't muster up the courage to talk to "Teacher Yi".When people are immersed in the dense smog that makes people almost blind, it will not be long before the sense of direction, distance, and even the grasp of the flow of time begin to be blurred and lost.How far has she run since she started running? 20 meters, or 1000 meters?

In the worst case scenario, the red brick wall may still be on the right hand side, continuing to spread... There is only one way to confirm whether you are out of the range of the red brick wall.

Blow away the smog again, and take another look at the red brick wall.

Those cracks and breakages that seem natural at first glance, when you look carefully, you can see human figures with heads up and hands, eyes rolling, and funny postures... one after another, spreading out like a long dragon, maybe hundreds of them .It's best not to look at them; just turn your head and keep running as soon as you're sure the red wall is still there.

Thinking of this, Lin Sanjiu suddenly shuddered, and found that [Tornado Whip] was pinched in his hand again.

She hesitated a little.As long as you blow through the haze, you can ensure that you will no longer be followed by those figures on the red wall...

"Mr. Yi, Yi?" Lin Sanjiu forced himself to call out.

There was no sound at all in my head.

Sometimes, she really wondered if the smog here had squeezed into the gap between the eyelids and eyeballs along the corners of the eyes, and penetrated into the head, so that it could cover Teacher Yi without a trace.

Lin Sanjiu gritted his teeth, retracted the [Tornado Whip], and took a big step forward.

"Mr. Yi?" she called again.

"...There is someone in front," the woman on the red brick wall paused before she replied carefully.

The meaning of this sentence has not been fully digested and understood by Lin Sanjiu's brain, her body has already reacted first - the cold sweat and pores all exploded at once, the muscles all over her body were tense, she raised her hand A vortex of air flow was thrown out, and the "Who?" was stuck in his throat.

The smog was blown away by the airflow, and I don't know how many layers of lead smog were washed away, and then a vague, round black shadow gradually emerged—it was the back of a human head.

The body under the head was soaked in dense fog, and Lin Sanjiu could only see a section of neck attached to the head; the voice of the woman in the red brick wall in her head suddenly became excited, saying: "There is still Well, look to the right."

She turned her head slowly.

Indeed, in front of her on the right, the black shadow of another human head also emerged; that human head was half-turned from the neck, revealing a small flat and swollen leaden gray side face, staring silently out of the corner of his eyes. she.

In the long silence, Lin Sanjiu realized belatedly that the man could no longer move.

The vortex whizzed from above and swept away the haze. As more and more lead haze faded away, she could see more and more clearly: not only the front and the right front, but in fact, there were many black heads in the shape of heads. The shadows emerged from the lead mist of ebb tide, high and low, in twos and threes, with bodies standing under the head, blocking the way in front of Lin Sanjiu.

Some of the black shadows looked up at the sky, some looked down at the ground, and some, like the head on the front right, half turned their heads, as if they were spying on the people behind.Although the arms of the black shadows were raised stiffly into the air, their legs were lifted high, and their knees were bent exaggeratedly, none of them were really moving: every black shadow stood frozen on the ground, motionless, as if A group of sculptures with different poses by modern artists.

Lin Sanjiu approached the silent crowd little by little, unconsciously holding his breath.

She could see the few black figures closest to her the most: each of them should be a human being, with gray hair covered in hard knots and dirty clothes, corroded and tattered clothes—skin exposed from the clothes , already indistinguishable from the color of lead haze.

These people were very close, and their movements were exactly the same. They all stooped and raised their knees, just like characters in a shadow play who are sneaking forward. A colorful hiking bag.

... Strolling through the Cloud Coin Production and Circulation Bureau.

This line of words is blurred, damaged and missing, but it echoes each other on different mountaineering bags, and it is not difficult to spell out the original content.

Lin Sanjiu stood for a few seconds among the dead, frozen but lively crowd.She took out a small knife and scratched one of the mountaineering bags with a light stroke; the man's body was slightly pulled by her strength, and after shaking, he regained the center of gravity just now, just like losing hair, Pieces of skin fell from the face in clusters.

The things that fell out of the breach were obviously not protected much by the backpack, and they were also corroded to the point where they could not even recognize their original shape—one of the bags was shattered into pieces when it fell, and there were countless dark and thin pieces. The fluff flew up and rolled up everywhere.

...It turns out that this working group has always been there.

"How can I do this, this is where you are headed," the woman with the red brick wall in her mind seemed to be half-heartedly gloating, "It seems that you can only go through this group of people. Go forward."

Lin Sanjiu swallowed dryly.

She lowered her head slightly, looking from a frozen person—is this person dead?or what?Why is this state formed? ——Drilled under the raised arms.

The further she walked, the denser the figures stood, as if this group of people had gathered here to listen to the concert, and their bodies twisted and staggered with the inaudible music; Lin Sanjiu tried not to touch anyone, Seeing that the lead fog was about to close again, it made her walk even more difficult.

Soon, those who appear around are no longer human beings.This place was originally an inaccessible place; whether it was the evolutionaries who came down to complete the task, the fallen species, or various creatures wandering in the haze, they all received consistent and fair treatment near the red brick wall—no matter what the original shape of the body was, When they walked forward stiffly and exaggeratedly following the figures of the red brick wall, they gradually became unable to walk.

All kinds of black shadows that stopped, like snow piled up continuously, piled up more and more in the silence.

Lin Sanjiu was still slowly and tentatively walking forward between the shadows—she could no longer see clearly, and before taking each step, she had to test it with a stick before she could find a clearing; There is no doubt that if she hadn't discovered it just now, she would also walk into this group of shadows now and become one of them.

"Yi, Teacher Yi?" When she passed through the group of black shadows, she called out in a low voice.

After a brief silence, Teacher Yi's familiar and normal voice sounded in his mind: "We are finally out!"

　I didn’t sleep well yesterday and was sleepy. Although I finished writing this chapter, I don’t know if it’s good or not... I feel that when I’m sleepy, my linear attention disappears, and my mind is full of uninvited divergent thoughts. Sometimes I write A sentence feels like the rope is about to come loose, and it has to be tied several times before a sentence can be said logically.Anyway, my human language is at this level, so you can make do with it.
