Doomsday Paradise

Chapter 25 The protagonist must die! (2)

...In the darkness, something had rubbed the back of Lin Sanjiu's head into a faint pain, and it had been a long time.She was so sleepy and unwilling to move, she just rolled over in a daze.

The next second, she suddenly sat up from her dream, gasping for breath.

Lin Sanjiu looked down at his trembling hand - dead?I am dead?Everyone is dead? ——She looked back dumbfounded and found that Mather and Lu Ze were sleeping side by side on the ground not far away. The two of them frowned as if they were having a nightmare.Although they still haven't woken up, their chests are proving that they are still alive and well.

So, that was just a dream...?Lin Sanjiu got up from the ground, still feeling cold on his hands and feet, and his whole body went weak.The moment she died, the moment her bones and internal organs were crushed, the moment she slipped into an endless darkness, the pain that was almost unreal... She fought a cold war. , are these all dreams?
She got up, opened the door, and stepped out of the car.She desperately needs some fresh air now to clear her head...

Just stepping on the ground outside the car, a harsh "you are my little apple" suddenly rang out, tearing up the night.

Lin Sanjiu's body paused.I heard it again, just like last time... No, it should be like a dream, right?

The noisy bell did not ring for as long as in a dream, but was quickly cut off when he sang a few sentences.

The night returned to its dead silence.

Lin Sanjiu didn't move, quietly staring in the direction of Citroen.

After a long while, the voles still did not come out to wake them up.

Just when she was a little impatient and was about to walk over to take a look, she heard a low exclamation from the bus, and then Marce shouted: "Lu Ze! Xiaojiu!"

Lin Sanjiu hurriedly rushed back into the carriage, just at this moment Lu Ze also took a sharp breath, woke up, and sat up - the eyes of the three suddenly met in the air, and only then did he realize that it was The faces of the others were all white.

"I dreamed that I (we) were all dead!"

Almost at the moment of eye contact, the three of them spoke in unison.

"Huh... 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 expression, "I dreamed that all four of us were dead. Tell me about your dreams first!"

Just like the sequence of death, Lu Ze was the first to speak: "The dream just now was too real, right? I dreamed that we were driving to the factory area, and suddenly a fallen species fell from the roof of the car. It shattered the glass on the other side, and all at once, all at once... giving my stomach..."

He was pale, almost speechless.

"Hey? How could this be? In my dream, you were attacked by a degenerate, and as a result, your truck turned a corner, and I hit it..." Mather looked horrified, a widened light brown Pupils stared at Lu Ze. "It turned out that I was badly injured and was struggling to get out of the driver's seat, and then—"

"Then there was an explosion, and you died." When Lin Sanjiu interrupted, he felt cold sweat all over his body.

"How did you know?"

"Because when all this happened, I was on the side..." Lin Sanjiu closed his eyes, as if he had returned to that moment: "After you died, my truck rushed back and crushed me and Tian to death. The rat... just like the gods are fooling around, killing us all like this!"

"What, what's going on... Our dreams are connected?" Lu Ze muttered to himself.

Mather and Lin Sanjiu frowned, unable to say anything for a while.Just when the atmosphere was stagnant among the few people, the voice of a field mouse sounded at the door: "... Are you all up?"

I don't know if it was an illusion, but Lin Sanjiu felt that there was still a tremor in his voice.

Did he have the same dream?
As if to prove what the three were thinking, the field mouse poked his head in nervously and said, "I'll tell you something, don't scold me. I just... dreamed that we were all dead. Don't talk about me. It's unlucky, but we really have to be careful today, that dream is too realistic! Hey, what's wrong with you, why are you all looking at me like this?"

Lin Sanjiu only felt that her headache was splitting, she waved to the field mouse: "We too... Come in, it seems that we have to take care of this matter."

The field mouse made an "oh" and got into the car, and the four of them sat in a circle.

...It seems to be very clear that the four people have experienced a dream together for some unknown reason - and it is amazing that although the time of death has precedent, the details of each person's dream can be perfectly matched. .

For example, the bang that Mather heard was probably from the Fallen Seed who killed Luzer—the Fallen Seed should have run from the roof of the bus to the roof of the truck, and then launched a fire on Luzer. The attack—even Lin Sanjiu was hungry halfway through and ate a cookie, or the jokes that the field mouse told Lu Ze, all of them were confirmed in every place.

Listening to the intense discussion among the three, Lin Sanjiu, who was puzzled, raised his head in a daze, let out a sigh of relief, and was stunned.

"and many more……!"

"What's wrong?" The three of them looked at her in confusion. "Do you have any ideas?"

Unexpectedly, Lin Sanjiu asked a completely irrelevant question: "Masse, which way is this bus coming?"

Mather thought for a while: "It seems to be either 89 or 90, I can't remember, but it should be about the same."

"...Look at it." Lin Sanjiu pointed to the wiring diagram hanging above the drop-off door.

The stop signs on the road map have disappeared, and the only thing is a huge, bright red "2".

"I remember correctly? Could it be a 2-way car?" Mather glanced at Lin Sanjiu in confusion, "However, is this important, Xiaojiu?"

Lin Sanjiu stared at the 2-character for a long time, then suddenly jumped up and cursed, "I'm X!"

"What happened?" the other three asked.

"I thought this thing looked familiar! I remembered it!" Lin Sanjiu said, feeling a piece of fine hair standing up on the back of his neck. "I... I saw this thing in the dream just now. The only difference is that it shows 3 in the 'dream', not 2."

She glanced at the faces of the three of them one by one, and intensified her tone: "I have been in this city for several years, and I have never seen anything like this! All the buses here should have road maps! In other words, this number came only later!"

Mather suddenly thought of something, ah, and covered his mouth.

Lin Sanjiu's solemn voice seemed to be full of weight: "Don't you guys 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 he also came to his senses. "I'm 100% sure, I'm not in a dream right now... Strange, if we really all died once, how can we still be fine now?"

Lin Sanjiu was about to speak, but was attracted by the low voice of the field mouse.

"It's a number... The first time it was 3, we died, and then it became 2... This is the countdown, right? In other words, we have 2 more chances."

It was the first time that Lin Sanjiu had seen a vole like this since the four of them were together.He lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, but for some reason, the atmosphere around him was indescribable...

She took a deep breath and said, "Actually, I think so too."

The air froze again, and everyone fell into contemplation.

"Is there a time limit for this thing?" Lu Ze crossed his arms and broke the silence first: "If there is, let's just sit here and wait for its time limit to pass before hitting the road safely?"

Mather sighed: "I'm afraid it won't be so simple, right? Then again, what is this...why does this happen..."

Before Mather could finish his sigh, Vole suddenly interjected, with a surprisingly firm tone: "I don't think it's okay to sit here. Who knows if there is a time limit for this? If you keep waiting, will anything else happen? What? These are unknown. However, the road we traveled last time and what dangers will arise are already clear... So I think it's better for us to set out carefully this time. "

Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but glanced at the field mouse again.

No matter how many depraved species you have killed and what kind of danger you have escaped from, one thing is self-evident nonsense: no one who lives has ever died.

However, just now, Lin Sanjiu experienced a death—a true death that completely wiped out his body and mind.The impact of death cannot be compared with anything else in the world: it is the dark cloud that hangs over human beings from the moment they are born, and it is the ultimate terror that all wise men cannot avoid.

Even now, thinking back to the moment when he died, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help trembling.

But the field mouse has been able to analyze the situation so calmly... She couldn't help but praise: "Vole, I really can't see that you can still be so calm after going through something like that."

The field mouse, who was praised by her, returned to her normal appearance in an instant, and said with a somewhat slick smile: "Hey, a little guy like me, who has a cheap life, has earned a living until now, how dare he be vulnerable? ?"

Lin Sanjiu looked back and said nothing.

The vole's words quickly persuaded everyone.Several people discussed for a while, and soon reached a consensus: this time, just follow the vole's words and set off with extra caution.Since there are already precautions, I think a few people will be safe this time, right?
