Rubik's Cube Seven Days Dream

Miao Fang was the first to react, he yelled, startling Xu Minglang.

But these are not important anymore, Xu Minglang watched helplessly as a whole wall column was slowly falling with white smoke and dust, as if in slow motion, but he couldn't do anything.

"Zhou Xuerong!!" Xu Minglang heard himself shouting.

"Ye Jiawen!"

The process of the wall crashing down seemed to be in slow motion. When Xu Minglang came back to his senses, the place where Zhou Xuerong was standing just now was only left with dust all over the sky, and a small layer of flames around the outer circle.

The wall column fell to the middle of the shelf in a vertical posture, fitting like a diamond ring and a ring box. Zhou Xuerong's chance of surviving was really very small.

Xu Minglang and Miao Fang fell silent, not only because of shock, but also because of the choking smoke, every breath was difficult.Xu Minglang thought sarcastically, perhaps his constant tears were due to his hot eyes.

Xu Minglang still had some regrets, he shouldn't have let Zhou Xuerong carry Ye Jiawen on his back, nor should he have had a backpack full of drinking water and drinks on his back, if it wasn't like this, he wouldn't have died under a wall post with his skills.

Miao Fang knelt by the wall pillar, held his breath and dug out with his hands. Xu Minglang was in a daze, and took a while to react before running over. He didn't even notice that the oil had rubbed the back of his head twice.

The two dug for a while, during which Xu Minglang was scalded by the steel bar on the jaw of his left hand, and his ten fingers were worn to the point of bleeding. Miao Fang's condition was not much better, but even so, neither of them made a sound.

The harmful substances in the smoke have affected their thinking and reactions. They squinted their eyes and dared not breathe. Every breath brought them closer to death.

This is really a double delay of spirit and body.No matter how low the visibility was, both of them knew that the fire was still spreading behind them, and the collapse of the wall in front of them just extinguished the fire in the aisle near the cash register.

This means that two people can walk away by stepping on the wall studs.

The first person to stop was Miao Fang, maybe he was really exhausted, or maybe everything he did just now was enough to make him feel guilty.Miao Fang stood up silently, and stepped on the road paved by the wall pillars.

Xu Minglang dug twice, and when he looked up again, Miao Fang's figure had disappeared into the gray mist.

Xu Minglang's excavation became slower and slower, and the air in his lungs became less and less. He suspected that he had given up his way of life because his brain had been smoked, and dug up two people who were probably dead.

The dizziness made people lose their sense of time. Xu Minglang couldn't tell how long he had been digging here. He lay on the ruins, thinking that if it was Xue Yingying, would she call him stupid, or would she be proud of him?

The figure of Xue Yingying bouncing around in a yellow dress popped into his mind, she looked younger, her skin was a little tanned, she turned her head and grinned at Xu Minglang, beckoning him to follow quickly.

"Clear! Keep up!"

"Where are you going? Yingying, wait for me!"

The front was illuminated by a bright white light, Xu Minglang didn't know where it was, but he couldn't see Xue Yingying getting farther and farther away from him, and just about to catch up, he was pulled by a force behind him.

He turned his head to look, it was dark there, and a boy was pulling the hem of his clothes.The boy was about as high as his chin, with green skin and a round inch, wearing a white sweater, showing two thin white arms, and his face was also white and thin, to the point of malnutrition.

"Do I know you?" Xu Minglang asked.

The boy showed a distressed expression that didn't match his age, and said, "Don't go. You don't want to follow."

"Where am I not going?"

When there was no answer, the boy suddenly disappeared.Xu Minglang saw that the place where the boy was standing just now turned out to be a winding alley with blue-gray walls on both sides and a few old-fashioned bicycles.It looks very much like the alleys of Xu Minglang's hometown.

One side is Xue Yingying, the other side is the alley, Xu Minglang knew that he shouldn't listen to that strange boy, but he unconsciously walked towards the alley...

Xu Minglang was awakened by the knocking sound from the ruins.

They are not dead.

Xu Minglang bit his tongue hard, and managed to wake himself up. He held back his headache and nausea, and dug away the bricks under the wall pillars.

He heard Zhou Xuerong's cough, followed the sound to push aside the bricks, and soon saw the top of the black backpack. He reached out and patted it, and found that it was still bulging, probably because the bottled water inside had played a buffering role.

He called Zhou Xuerong's name a few more times, but he didn't get an answer. Maybe Zhou Xuerong passed out again, or maybe he was injured, but no matter what, he wasn't dead yet.This encouraged Xu Minglang, but his body no longer listened to the command of his brain, and became weak, as if his stomach was stuffed with cotton.

Obviously very close.

The bricks that had been pushed out of the gap suddenly loosened, and there was a painful gasp from inside. Xu Minglang tried hard to buckle the backpack, so that the people inside could be less stressed.Under the double action of inside and outside, the deadly backpack was finally pulled out from the pile of bricks.

There was another burst of looseness, and a hand stretched out from the pile of bricks. Xu Minglang hurriedly grasped it, and while pushing hard, he used his other hand to move the bricks.A big man covered in dust stood up, with sticky blood sticking to his forehead. It looked quite painful, but fortunately there was no other trauma.

Zhou Xuerong shook his head, as if confirming whether he was alive, then he stood up without saying a word, groped through the hole he dug just now, and quickly fished out the unconscious girl.

Xu Minglang on the side watched Ye Jiawen successfully escape, smiled and gave Zhou Xuerong a thumbs up.He seemed to have reached his limit, his eyes turned black and his body was about to go limp, and he was supported by a pair of hands.

"Brother Lang, hold on."

It's strange, he seems to have heard this sentence somewhere.

Xu Minglang blinked twice, indicating that he could still do it, and reached out to get the bag, but was stopped.

Zhou Xuerong shook her head lightly, slowly put the bag on her upper body, put it over Ye Jiawen's armpit, and walked towards the door.

There was already a sea of ​​flames behind the two exhausted bodies, and Xu Minglang could clearly hear the muffled sound of the metal being heated, even so, the two still walked slowly and staggeringly.

There was a loud bang, and with the hot waves behind it, it seemed that some combustible material in the supermarket had been detonated, and the ceiling creaked.

When Xu Minglang stepped out of the cash register passage, there was another explosion behind him.He stopped and looked back, and he could vaguely see the huge remains of the ceiling covering the ruins where they stayed just now.

It's like a magic cave.

The hallway was cold and bright.The two walked to the shopping street near the gate. Xu Minglang smelled the clean air and felt the natural light.

It turned out that the steel shutter was pulled up, and it was already dawn outside the door.

Xu Minglang couldn't wait to push the door open with his body, letting Zhou Xuerong and Ye Jiawen go out first.At this moment, he suddenly had the urge to cry, after a whole night of strange fighting.He survived.

The joy of living made Xu Minglang dizzy, but he didn't realize that the van that was supposed to be parked on the opposite side of the road was gone.

It was Zhou Xuerong's sudden stop and sitting on the ground that caught his attention.Xu Minglang followed the direction of Zhou Xuerong's finger, only to realize that the others were gone.

Damn...these ungrateful beasts! !

Xu Minglang scolded all those people with the most vicious language in his heart, but he quickly stopped and began to think of countermeasures.The snow still hasn't stopped, and it's about ten degrees below zero outside. They must find a warm place to rest as soon as possible.

Zhou Xuerong remained silent the whole time, with his back to Xu Minglang, the wind blew his hair, revealing a burn on the back of his neck, which was crumpled together with the darker skin, which looked shocking.

"How did you get it on the neck?"

Zhou Xuerong replied in a low voice: "It was hot when I was a child, but now it doesn't hurt anymore."

Xu Minglang nodded and sat down next to Zhou Xuerong. His body was exhausted and disappointed. He had no desire to speak. Looking at Zhou Xuerong's side face, he found tears in his eyes and a lonely expression.

Xu Minglang pulled himself together, pretended not to care and said, "Let's go, see if I can find a car, brother will take you back."

But Zhou Xuerong pointed to the sky: "Brother, look, the sun is out."

Xu Minglang looked up, and behind the messy buildings was an orange-gray sky, with dazzling light shining in the gaps between buildings.This was the first time Xu Minglang saw the sunrise, and it was in such a scene.

Xu Minglang quickly dispelled the unnecessary melancholy, he signaled Zhou Xuerong to wait at the same place, and he was going to try his luck around to see if he could find a car with the key.There were four or five cars parked on both sides of the road, but none of them could open the door, Xu Minglang looked around and felt like walking forward.

Xu Minglang walked less than 200 meters when he saw a flashing car coming from the opposite side, which was their van.

The car stopped beside Xu Minglang, and it was Zhao Dongxiang who got off.

Facing Xu Minglang's accusation and sneer, Zhao Dongxiang gave full play to his skillful skill of being gentle, got Xu Minglang into the car, and then received Zhou Xuerong, explaining other things.

***

The silence in the car was suffocating.

Except for Xu Minglang and Zhou Xuerong who had escaped from death just now, and Ye Jiawen who was still unconscious, the others were afraid of showing their presence even by breathing.

Yu Haohuai sat in the co-pilot's seat, glanced at the back seat, Xu Minglang caught two bruises on his face, and his right cheek was swollen.

Yu Haohuai asked, "What's in the bag?"

It's okay not to mention it, but when Xu Minglang is mentioned, he will be even more angry. It was he and Zhou Xuerong who brought out food and water at a critical moment of life and death, and what did they get in exchange?

The ancients said that Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and the truth is found in adversity, which is really a proverb.

Thinking of this, he replied angrily: "Don't worry, it's nothing to do with you anyway."

"Where's in his bag?" The "he" in Yu Haohuai's mouth obviously refers to Zhou Xuerong.

One sentence ignited Xu Minglang's anger, he took Zhou Xuerong's bag and opened it, shook out all the contents, held a Snickers bar in his hand and said to the eyes in the rearview mirror: "It's water! and food."

After experiencing the anomaly of this night, everyone understood that they were in an unusual world.The Binhai City with its cool autumn wind and lively crowds no longer exists, and they don't even know whether they are in reality or a dream.But everyone who has not eaten for more than ten hours understands a truth, hunger is not an illusion, they must eat to survive.Looking around, is there a grocery store around?The food in those two backpacks became everyone's only hope at this moment.

Yu Haohuai was dumbfounded, and the others didn't dare to breathe. The car drove for a while, and Yu Haohuai suddenly spoke near the dam.

"Old Zhao, pull over and stop the car."

Yu Haohuai nominally said that he wanted to get some air, but the rest of the people knew his purpose of getting out of the car and pretended not to hear.Xu Minglang gave him face and got out of the car. Before that, Cao Jing had the cheek to ask him if he could have something to eat. Xu Minglang pointed to Zhou Xuerong and said, "Zhou Xuerong took everything, just ask him."

When Xu Minglang got out of the car, he was greeted by a biting sea breeze, regretting that he shouldn't get out of the car.Yu Haohuai walked to the side of the dam, touched his left trouser pocket, found that it was flat, and then touched his neck in embarrassment.

Xu Minglang was hungry and dizzy, he urged impatiently: "Stop going around in circles, let your fart go."

Yu Haohuai acted like he didn't hear it: "I didn't set the fire on purpose."

Xu Minglang showed a sarcastic smile.

Yu Haohuai explained as if he hadn't seen it: "I smoked a cigarette at the time, but I couldn't hold it steady, and the cigarette fell into the oil. I thought you would come out soon, so I have been waiting outside for a long time, only Miao Fang Out."

Xu Minglang thought of Miao Fang's back when he left, and asked, "What did Miao Fang say?"

"He told us to save people."

"what about you?"

Yu Haohuai choked for a moment: "This matter is my idea. I told them not to go in."

"Is this how the wound on your face came from?"

Yu Haohuai wiped the corner of his mouth: "Miao Fang has a big temper."

Xu Minglang smiled and said, "Good fight."

Yu Haohuai: "But I don't regret it."

Xu Minglang put his smile back again.

Yu Haohuai turned around and approached Xu Minglang, leaning his back against the dam, making sure that no one got out of the car, took out a roll of newspaper from his right trouser pocket, opened a page, and handed it to Xu Minglang.

Xu Minglang didn't understand why, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Yu Haohuai rolled up the two ends of the newspaper, exposing the middle seam of the newspaper.

This time Xu Minglang understood clearly. Among the densely packed small characters, there was a completely irrelevant sentence printed beside it: One of you is a ghost.
