Rubik's Cube Seven Days Dream

"Shua—" In the corner of the eye, the knife flashed, and a pair of plastic prosthetic hands were cut off, flying far in the air.

The resistance on Xu Minglang's neck disappeared miraculously. He touched his neck and gasped for breath to make sure that the neck was still there.

The dummy climbed up mechanically, and was hit from behind again. The sound of a sharp weapon cutting through the air was like a tiger roaring.Xu Minglang survived the catastrophe, just reborn from the lack of oxygen, unable to stand up, had to watch the dummy struggle back and forth as if unable to break free, the scene was horrific.

In the second that Xu Minglang was struggling to close his eyes, cracks appeared on the polyethylene humanoid face, the flesh-colored paint was mottled and peeled off, and the corners of the scarlet lips made a "squeak" friction sound.

"Pa—" the face split open.

A giant ax pierced through the dummy's head with a cold light, the blade was as bright as a mirror, and Xu Minglang saw his own face reflected dully on the axe.

A pair of long and narrow eyes hid behind the axe, and the eyes flashed with a murderous cold light, just like the ax in his hand, indifferent and ruthless.

That person was Zhou Xuerong.

He threw down the axe, and suddenly knelt down in front of Xu Minglang, staring at Xu Minglang with a dull expression, before speaking after a while, with a hoarse voice: "Brother Lang."

Xu Minglang waved his hand, indicating that he had a sore throat and couldn't speak.

Miao Fang and Ye Jiawen came forward slowly at this time. The girl was asking for warmth. Miao Fang expressed his condolences and said, "Is there a mistake? It's unscientific for a dummy to resurrect and kill someone! How can this be done?!"

"Are we in the real world? Am I really not dreaming?" Ye Jiawen asked tearfully.

Xu Minglang didn't know how to answer, but the flesh-colored plastic debris all over the floor was the best answer.

If Zhou Xuerong hadn't arrived in time just now, he might end up like a dummy now.

The strange scene before dying was lingering in Xu Minglang's mind, especially those eyes gleaming with tears under the stone slab. The despair was so real, even deeper than death.

It might be the memory of his previous life, or something else, but the current situation made him only able to suppress all kinds of emotions.There are so many clothing stores in the supermarket, and the number of dummy models will not be small. If they are revived collectively, the consequences will make the scalp numb just thinking about it.

What's more, they got separated from the other three, and it is not known whether the other party has encountered the same thing as them... Xu Minglang thought of this, struggling to get up, he heard Zhou Xuerong's repeated whispers, as if suffering from madness sick.

Ye Jiawen went to help Xu Minglang, he made a silent movement, and listened, Zhou Xuerong was repeating "No, it's too fast, 'trigger point'".

This kind of confusing words made Xu Minglang sensitive.

"What do you mean by that? What's a 'trigger point'?"

Zhou Xuerong stopped his obsessive-compulsive babbling in an instant. He fell into deep thought, and suddenly, as if remembering something, he raised his head and looked like Ye Jiawen.

"...What's wrong?" Ye Jiawen asked.

"It's you...it's you, right? The dummy you saw first when the power went out...it's you!" Zhou Xuerong made an angry expression on his originally indifferent face and looked extraordinarily gloomy. Ye Jiawen took two steps back, a little Shaking his head aggrievedly.

"Are you sick! Don't frame others here, can you? So what if Ye Jiawen sees the dummy first, why are you pushing everything on others!" Miao Fang shouted angrily.

Zhou Xuerong was silent for a while, then choked out "forget it", pushed away Ye Jiawen's arm, and helped Xu Minglang up.

Miao Fang did not intend to spare the other party. He pointed to the ax on the ground and said to Xu Minglang: "Do you know what is in the black bag he has been carrying behind him? An axe! He just saw Ye Jiawen go this way He ran, rushed here without even saying a word, he must have known all this from the beginning! Tell me, what is your relationship with the person who sent the invitation letter?"

A hint of impatience flashed across Zhou Xuerong's face, Xu Minglang also wanted to interrupt Miao Fang's meaningless duties, the most urgent task now was how to escape the current predicament.

Suddenly there was a sound of knocking on the ground, which reminded everyone that they were not out of danger yet.

Miao Fang shut up suddenly, pointed behind Xu Minglang, tremblingly said:

"This... what is this? The Terminator?".

The flesh-colored fragments on the ground were bouncing at a certain frequency, and the distance was getting closer and closer, gradually piecing together the appearance of a female head and abdomen.

This time even a fool could see the seriousness of the situation, Zhou Xuerong picked up the axe and grabbed Xu Minglang and ran away, Miao Fang also pulled Ye Jiawen to follow.They ran all the way and returned to the supermarket along the shopping street just now. Standing by the cash register were Zhao Dongxiang and Cao Jing, both wrapped in cotton clothes and carrying plastic bags in their hands.

Cao Jing was still some distance away from the few people, and shouted at them: "Hurry up, why are you here! I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Fart, isn't it you who are easy to find?" Miao Fang murmured out of breath.

Zhou Xuerong and Xu Minglang ran ahead, and they ran to the supermarket while holding Cao Jing and Zhao Dongxiang together.Cao Jing yelled while running, but Xu Minglang covered her mouth.

"I said, where did you all go just now? Hey, what are you running for? Slow down..." Zhao Dongxiang muttered.

"I don't have time to explain now, let's talk about it later." Xu Minglang said.

Zhou Xuerong and Xu Minglang walked through the shelves, paying attention to the sign above their heads and came to the cooked food area.

"What are you doing! Are you here to eat pork head meat?" Cao Jing shouted as soon as she broke free from Xu Minglang's hand.

Zhou Xuerong and Xu Minglang looked at each other, and they both understood that the other party had the same thinking as their own.

They were not sure if there were other dummies resurrected in the supermarket, but the experience just now made them understand that the dummies can repair themselves, that is, they have an unknown number of "lifespans".

Under such circumstances, they are in a closed supermarket, which is tantamount to having nowhere to escape.So the top priority is to find weapons, and it's important to be close to you.

It's a pity that the supermarket is not like a hardware store, there are no knives or irons that can hurt people.

Except butchers.

Zhou Xuerong and Xu Minglang turned over the freezer and found two butcher's knives from the back kitchen of the adjacent butcher shop.

"Too little." Xu Minglang said.

"Well, I guess they are all shared." Zhou Xuerong said to Xu Minglang, "You take one of them and protect yourself." He added: "Stay away from Ye Jiawen." The knife was handed over to Lao Zhao.

Zhao Dongxiang didn't understand, so Xu Minglang explained for Zhou Xuerong: "This supermarket is very strange. We didn't see you three just now. We thought you were in the car. When we wanted to go out, we found that all the doors were locked, and then we became fine plastic dummies. Start chasing us."

Cao Jing laughed mockingly: "Huh? Are you okay?"

"You'll know when you see it with your own eyes later." Xu Minglang squatted on the bed, using the freezer to hide himself, while beckoning others to squat down too. "Zhou Xuerong has an ax in his hand. Let him protect you. I will take the two knives. The little girl and Siyan'er will stay together. I will give them one of the knives. Where is the police officer?"

Miao Fang interrupted: "Who are you calling four-eyed?"

Xu Minglang ignored him, and Zhao Dongxiang said: "Yu Haohuai said that when no one of you came, he would meet us at the cashier. After waiting for a while, he said he wanted to find you, but he hasn't come back until now. We are still wondering where you are going. What about it? Cao Jing and I have been waiting at the cash register, and we didn’t go anywhere.”

Xu Minglang thought to himself that it was a ghost hitting the wall, two groups of people passed by the same place and didn't see anyone, they were so evil.

He didn't explain that much, and got up to leave with the knife in his hand. Zhou Xuerong grabbed him and said, "I'll go with you."

"You stay and protect them..."

"The supermarket has an open terrain, there is no place to hide at all, and the mobile phone has no signal to contact and make up. It is even more dangerous to get lost."

Xu Minglang felt that it made sense, and nodded for several people to follow.

Miao Fang and Ye Jiawen were hiding under the counter of a stationery store, just a corner away from the cash register.

The two were wrapped in cotton clothes, almost touching the tip of the pen to the tip of the nose, filling the already small space to the brim.

"How long are we going to wait here?" Ye Jiawen's legs were a little numb, and she had to lean forward in order to adjust the angle.

Miao Fang turned his face away, and replied in a breathy voice: "How long can you hide, that kind of monster can't be killed at all, so if you don't hide, can you just face it?"

"Oh." Ye Jiawen said again, "What about Brother Lang and the others? Are they in danger?"

Miao Fang snorted: "They must have hidden themselves. When is it, they are still worrying about others."

After the silence, Ye Jiawen said sullenly, "Has anyone ever said that you are mean?"

"I was born with this kind of person, I let you down. I'm sorry." Miao Fang said, quietly glanced at his right leg,

Ye Jiawen looked at Miao Fang's right leg and asked, "What happened to your leg?"

"I fell it myself." Miao Fang replied angrily.

Ye Jiawen knew that she had talked too much, so she shrank back and prepared to hide for the whole night without saying anything.

In the silence, the two heard the sound of stationery falling.

Miao Fang made a hissing gesture, and poked his head out to see...

***

Xu Minglang and his team were on the back of the stationery store, looking for a row of shopping malls while being wary of the dummies. Sure enough, all the plastic dummies in the clothing store were gone. Now that I think about it, they should be the same as the chopped up dummies. He came alive and went away by himself.

The strange thing is that there are no traces of dummies in either the supermarket or the shopping street.

Where did they all go?

"Ahhhh-!!"

It was Ye Jiawen's scream.

The four of them ran to hear the sound, just in time to bump into Ye Jiawen who was rushing over.

Seeing that Zhou Xuerong was there, Ye Jiawen hurriedly said, "The stationery store at the back... put the seedlings in it..."

Zhou Xuerong ran the fastest, and when everyone arrived, he saw Miao Fang pinned to the ground by the plastic dummy and strangled his neck. Zhou Xuerong swung his ax and slashed at the dummy's back.

The dummy quickly turned into a pile of stumps, Cao Jing and Zhao Dongxiang were dumbfounded.

Amidst Cao Jing's crying, Xu Minglang comforted Ye Jiawen: "Don't rush and speak slowly."

Ye Jiawen sobbed: "We hid under the counter and heard the stationery fall to the ground. My first reaction was that you found it, but Miao Fang told me to scare the snake away. He looked out by himself and saw a dummy stuck on the ceiling. superior……"

Xu Minglang patted Ye Jiawen to express his comfort, he said "it's all right", but he was in a state of confusion in his heart.
