Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 2017 The way home in a desperate situation

Perhaps from the first day the Black Mountain was erected, Peanut Town did not plan to lower it any further.

Since being trapped in Peanut Town, Lin Sanjiu has never heard anyone mention that Black Mountain does not exist naturally; In the history of Peanut Town that has been going on for many years, the fact that "Black Mountain is an artificial barrier" has long been forgotten.

When the two took the opportunity to escape from the mayor's mansion, Lin Sanjiu seemed to be able to see how Black Mountain and Peanut Town were integrated into each other from every piece of floor tile with cracks and fine lines, and every trembling of an oil painting vase. Together: the giant mechanism buried deep in the ground, slowly and difficultly turned the gears covered with dust and rust; Disturbed, trembling, torn in two.

The process of her and Yu Yuan's escape was unexpectedly smooth - because once Ke Lang realized what had happened, he panicked and left the two of them behind; Lin Sanjiu vaguely heard him almost The voice of order was about to tear apart like the ground in Peanut Town: "Don't run, this is not an earthquake! Quickly, enter the system and upgrade it back for me!"

"It's okay to go back up,"

Yu Yuan knocked open a camouflage wall with his shoulder, and rushed out with Lin Sanjiu. When the two of them ran through the trembling hall of the mayor's mansion, he shouted loudly amidst the flying sand and stones: "But you have to wait It can only rise again after it has completely landed and returned to its original position. Guess how long it will take for such a large and long mountain range to completely land and rise again?"

Lin Sanjiu plunged into the pitch-black night outside the mansion, and when she turned her head and glanced at the distance, she could no longer restrain the convulsive impulse in her body—maybe it was the nervousness of escaping from death, or maybe it was the need of anger. Out of vent, she raised her head and laughed loudly at the night that shrouded Peanut Town.

"Good job," she slapped Yu Yuan on the back, almost making him choke.

It was probably a firework that was set to be released at a fixed time, and it rose into the corner of the night sky, and many shooting stars wrapped in fire bloomed under the dark sky; Uncertain swaying light and shadow——Fireworks don't know it yet, and its existence is meaningless.

The mayor's mansion is backed by the foot of the Black Mountain, shaking more violently than ordinary houses; looking around, the shadows of the high mountains in all directions seem to be melting ice, bending down little by little to make way for the wider sky behind.

Every step the two of them took, they stepped on the rumbling sound from the depths of the ground. For a moment, it was hard to tell whether it was the earth or their own spirit that was trembling.

"This way," Yu Yuan shouted, pointing the gun in his hand at the alley between the two rows of houses.

"Where is the way to go?" Lin Sanjiu called.

The door of a residential house was opened, an old lady had just stepped out of the door, looked up and saw the two of them, and immediately shrank her head back and closed the door.

Panting, Yu Yuan turned his head, and when he looked at her, his eyes were as bright as seeing another kind of fireworks.

"'Middle-aged dark-haired woman with a scar on her right hand'—I looked up her home address."

It seemed that a hand had suddenly tightened the breath in Lin Sanjiu's chest, and then suddenly let it go.

"We're already going late," Yu Yuan said in a low voice, "If everyone can be pulled up from the ground when they are humiliated and bullied..."

The bumps and tremors of the ground, the shaking of the building, the roar like rolling thunder, and the sound of heavy hinges turning deep in the ground drowned out his later words, so that Lin Sanjiu couldn't hear clearly—but she still heard it, in another way .

The cold night wind rushed towards the two people who were running, smashed into pieces, and was melted into a breath of breath by Yu Yuan's scorching heat, and washed towards the town behind them.

"It's Montenegro...!"

From the alleys of the residential houses they strode past, fragments of words came out mixed together.The voices of men, women, old and children were either startled or frightened; eyes flashed through the gaps in the curtains.

"Black Mountain seems... to be falling!"

"I don't know, how could it move? How could it be? Could it be—"

"There's an earthquake, it must be an earthquake," someone shouted in a low voice, "Look at what's on TV!"

Lin Sanjiu soon discovered that even the "Mayor Aoye" system that was partially destroyed was still surprisingly efficient.

Just a few minutes after hearing this sentence, every house they ran through formed a unified appearance: the doors and windows were closed, and there was no movement; the curtains were tightly closed, and there were no more whispers and peeps— ——I don’t know how many families, only the same, loud female voice echoed, as if shouting a battle cry: “Please follow the instructions, don’t listen or see the door, close the windows and draw the curtains, and wait until dawn , victory will surely belong to us..."

Whether it is TV or radio, it seems that there is only one instruction.

Yu Yuan frowned, suddenly turned over and jumped onto a large trash can on the street, grabbed the water pipe outside the wall of a three-story apartment building, stepped on the balconies of the residents, and nimbly climbed up to the roof.He didn't take his actions lightly. After this series of actions, there was a low exclamation in the room, but no one opened the curtains to see who had climbed onto the roof of his apartment building.

"What's wrong?" Lin Sanjiu also jumped onto the room and looked around condescendingly.

"Look," Yu Yuan pointed to the dark streets and alleys where the street lights couldn't even illuminate, and said in a low voice, "...No one really came out."

How majestic is the sound of Montenegro descending to the ground, how silent is Peanut Town.The dim yellow of the street light bulbs on the slate has never been disturbed by anyone's footsteps.

"No, someone, look over there..."

Lin Sanjiu's gaze was led by a figure in the distance, and Yu Yuan also turned his head.Before she could finish her sentence, she broke off; because the man shrunk his shoulders, cautiously, as if he was afraid of being discovered that he had just gone out, he quickly came to a residential house, and took a last look at the distance. Montenegro opened the door and entered the house.

Lin Sanjiu looked at the town trembling in the silence, and then at the distant Black Mountain.They are not tall enough, but they can barely make out the world behind Montenegro: the straight, iron-gray highway under the night, stretching into the distance beside the large tracts of farmland; One, to rise into the sky.

It was just one direction she could see, just the farthest corner.

"Please follow the instructions. If you don't listen or see, you can't go out. Close the windows and draw the curtains to survive the difficult time. When the dawn comes, victory will surely belong to us..."

"Let's go," Lin Sanjiu pulled Yu Yuan's arm and said in a low voice, "At least you know that there is a person who needs us to save. Is her home nearby?"

Yu Yuan didn't move.He stared fixedly at the dark and quiet town of Peanut, with a look on his side face, as if a child saw something incomprehensible, or wandering in a maze-like dream.

"Yes," he murmured, "you see, there she is."

Lin Sanjiu glanced in the direction he pointed.What Yu Yuan was talking about was not the middle-aged woman's house, but the middle-aged woman herself—I don't know if she rushed out of the house as soon as Montenegro began to land. At this moment, she was being captured by a man. Grabbing one leg, he dragged himself on the ground like a pig, and walked towards a residential house.

She didn't even cry out as she struggled.She just rolled and kicked on the ground silently; probably because she knew that no one would come to rescue her if she called.

"Did you see it?" Yu Yuan asked.

Lin Sanjiu nodded.

Several teams of town police are standing guard in the shadows of residential houses at the corners and alleys, waiting in full force.They watched the middle-aged woman being dragged across the cobblestone road in front of them, without any interest; everyone's attention was focused on the intersection—there was almost no doubt about who they were waiting for.

"When I checked the address, I may have left a record in the system. They came one step faster than us." Yu Yuan raised his gun and said with a wry smile, "...I just found out that there are no bullets. What should I do?"

This time, the "key node" had already obtained an answer and disappeared almost before it took shape.

For the last choice, Hammer Hammer finalized the appearance of the Yu Yuan she knew with a sound.

His black hair was disheveled under the night, and his slender silhouette was reflected on the background of Peanut Town, burning a ray of light.

"There is another person who is being humiliated and bullied. She has been waiting for too long." Lin Sanjiu stretched out his hand to him, "Let's go, I will go down with you."

"Found it!" Someone suddenly yelled, "They're on the roof!"

Accompanied by a sudden gunshot, it seemed that a burst of white light suddenly lit up her mind, and all consciousness was dissolved in the white light; Lin Sanjiu closed her eyes tightly, and when she opened them again, another memory, The memory that really belonged to her has returned to its place.

Yu Yuan was sitting opposite the dining table, his smile was as white as the reflection on the snow-capped mountains.

"...I'm back, little wine."

　It was getting late day by day, I couldn't bear it anymore, but I finally wrote Yu Yuan back... gratifying.

In other words, my new home really has a lot to say; I have found a lot of steel wool balls stuffed in the gaps under the cabinet behind the radiator in the past two days.

It's very strange, why the steel wool balls are stuffed, so I searched and found that this is... a way to prevent rats...

When I was looking for a house before, I said that I brought two cats, and many landlords were unwilling to rent it to me. Only this landlord was very happy, and it was not a problem at all... Now I understand...

The two big wastes in my family who usually only consume food have become the highest and most useful people in the family in a blink of an eye (), my life is safe, and I will give it all to the cat!
