under the tower

Opposite the door is the sofa in the living room, the TV is on, and the host is chattering something. Blowing on the top of the hair, blowing the soft short hair tottering like spring wheat ears, the owner of the shaggy hair lay there motionless.

Yan Yi put down the things in his hands and walked over quickly.

There was a boy lying on his back on the sofa. He was wearing a large pure white T-shirt. The fluffy fabric outlined his slender figure. Half of the orange-red sunlight came in from the window sill and fell on his delicate ankles and snow-white bare feet.

There was a pillow under the boy's body, and he sank into the sofa.

He just seemed to be asleep, his eyes closed, his long eyelashes casting a small shadow, and his bangs, blown by the wind, dangling in front of his forehead.

His pale, bloodless face made him look like a pretty lifeless doll.

The word "beautiful" is not suitable to describe a man, Yan thought——

It was the most extreme beauty before it was on the verge of destruction, and it was soul-stirring.

Like the setting sun is about to sink into the bottom of the sea, like the last spark before the light goes out.

"Ji Xi..." He asked softly with no expression on his face, "Are you okay?"

After a while, Ji Xi opened his eyes, his pupils were a very rare dark blue, which looked like a cold ocean.

He struggled to utter two words: "Not dead."

Yan half-kneeled on the ground, touched his soft hair, and spit out the word "um".

The man stood up and brought the ingredients he had just bought into the kitchen. Immediately there was the sound of a kitchen knife chopping on the chopping board.

Ji Xi maintained a motionless posture, with only a pair of eyeballs following Yan Yi's back.

His hands pressed against his ribs, and it felt like...

With every breath, something broke out from the chest cavity, and clawed out, tearing at his internal organs.

Yan Yi met Ji Xi on the mountain in the northern suburbs the day before.

He often goes to that area. The Nanshan Mountain is densely forested and has abundant rainfall. There are many plants and animals growing in it. It is the best place for abnormal people and humans to forage.

In the beginning, everything was normal. Yanyi was lucky in the morning, met dozens of deformed people, and earned nearly a hundred points.

At noon, the sun was scorching hot. He lit a fire with dead wood and rested with his back against the trunk of a big tree.

That's when--

The sound of the helicopter propeller sounded from far to near above the head, Yan Yi raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw that the military green helicopter was emitting black smoke, the cabin was riddled with holes, and it was moving in a strange curve in the air. It looked like it was about to crash at any moment.

Is this a military helicopter?

At the same time, the helicopter suspended in mid-air suddenly let out a piercing roar, accompanied by burning flames, and fell straight down in a free fall, dragging a trail of black smoke at the tail.

The reaction of the body was faster than the thinking speed of the brain, Yan Yi immediately put down the dead branch in his hand, and ran towards the direction of the helicopter.

He was not far away, only about 500 meters from the crash site.

The huge impact changed the plane beyond recognition, and Yan Yi didn't know what it had experienced.

The engine caused a raging fire. Without hesitation, he opened the hatch with a few shots. The people inside were lucky, at least they were not disemboweled.

Yan Yi made a decisive decision and carefully lifted the man out of the cockpit. The completely damaged plane behind him exploded with a loud noise the next moment.

A close call.

Yan Yi took the man away, and half-dragged and half-dragged him to the flat ground not far away, only then was he surprised that the person who was driving a helicopter alone was just a young boy, who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old. .

Ji Xi was lying on the ground, her icy blue eyes reflected the sunlight pouring down on her face, making her look extraordinarily bright.

"Where is this?" he asked.

"Outside the Beicheng Base." Yan Yi replied, "Child, who told you to fly the plane? You are not from the United Front Army."

It was a declarative sentence, and Yan could tell with just one glance that he couldn't be from the army.

The bruised and bruised boy in front of him was actually wearing an obviously expensive suit, his silver-gray silk tie was loose and crumpled around his neck, and the cloth embroidered with dark patterns and bright colors was stained with blood.

Yan Yi's sight stopped for an instant.

In the breast pocket of the boy's suit was a half-withered rose. The layers of dark red petals were scorched and curled at the edges, making it look romantic and decadent.

"My name is Ji Xi." He opened his mouth, and when he spoke, blood seeped from his mouth, "I am the commander-in-chief of the Shencheng base...cough!"

Ji Xi coughed violently, he choked on his own blood, his scarred body trembled like a spasm, and spit out big mouthfuls of blood, which was mixed with some internal organs.

Yan supported his back helplessly, through the suit, the young man's spine could be clearly felt, and his back was hunched.

It was a very clear feeling, and he could clearly perceive the passing of life under his palm.

After a long time, Ji Xi finally finished coughing. He tried to support himself with both hands, but he couldn't stand up.

"Persist." Seeing this, Yan Yi half-supported and half-hugged him, "I'll take you to the treatment center."

Ji Xi grabbed his sleeve with the remaining strength: "Just take me into the city, don't worry about the rest."

"...Don't go to the treatment facility."

Yan Yi stared at him, frowning.

"You're dying."

"I know." Ji Xi said calmly, "Just take it as a favor for me."

Yan Yi knew that he couldn't leave people alone.His conscience prevented him from turning his back on a dying teenager.

Finally he brought Ji Xi home.

He took off Ji Xi's blood-stained suit, the cloth was glued to the dry wound, Yan Yi could only use scissors to cut the clothes for him, and then use the medicine box at home for simple disinfection.

Yan Yi's bandaging skills are not bad.He took off the rose on the suit, and the few small thorns on the stem were trimmed cleanly, leaving only a few small holes.

He gently stroked the scar on the flower stem with his fingers, but what he said was: "Throw it away?"

Ji Xi glanced at him: "Throw it away."

Yan Yi didn't seem to hear his words at all, instead he found an empty can and carefully inserted the flowers.

Ji Xi showed a disgusted expression: "The flowers should be placed in a vase."

In this way, Ji Xi stayed with Yan's family.

Ji Xi's injury has neither worsened nor improved. He can only lie on the sofa in the living room of Yan's family like a dead body every day. Fortunately, there is a small TV in front of the sofa. He can only watch TV to relieve boredom every day. He feeds.

This is one of the largest bases in Huaguo, Beicheng Base.

Ji Xi learned from the news that the production level of the Beicheng base is comparable to that of the Shencheng base, and even uses the nationally unified information management system, point calculation and identity authentication system, as well as the same version and model of safety verification equipment .

Safety Verification Instruments...

Huaguo patent, invented ten years ago, the accuracy rate of detecting distortion infection is as high as 99.9%...

Ji Xi felt his whole body trembling from the cold, and his blood was almost congealed.

He didn't believe it, something no one dared to believe, just happened like this.

Three days ago, Ji Xi witnessed with his own eyes the supreme authority of the Shencheng Base, his grandfather Ji Xuan, fell in front of him in a horrific death, and the gushing blood soaked a hand-sewn Persian rug.

The old man's heart was pulled out from his chest by a deformed man, and the strong smell of blood filled the whole room, making people feel nauseous, and Ji Xi's ear was still filled with the sensation of the deformed man chewing on the still beating heart, which made people feel dizzy. Ma sound.

Ji Xi is 20 years old this year, and he is the only blood of the fourth generation of the entire Ji family's huge clan.

In the past 20 years, he has never seen a deformed person with his own eyes. To him, the end of the world is just a distant concept in a book.

He lives on the highest Pearl Tower in the center of Shencheng Base, with thousands of lights under his feet and the sky full of stars above his head. The cruel reality has never been worth his worries.

At that moment he had a real sense of doom.

He had never seen a freak, or rather he had seen many, but he had never known that they were freaks.

Within 48 hours after being infected with the distortion virus, the body will begin to rot, become ferocious, lose their senses, and only have the instinct of attack. Everyone who lives in the last days is familiar with these characteristics.

Since Huaguo developed the safety inspection equipment, human beings have entered a ten-year period of peace. During the ten years, the deformed people were firmly isolated outside the city. The base is a utopia in reality. day.

They don't know that those deformed people have actually been hidden in human society for a long time, and they are no different from human beings in appearance, and there is even no difference in intelligence.Safety inspection equipment can't find them at all.

How many such abnormal people are lurking in the entire base now?How many years have they been around?The Shencheng base has fallen, what about the Beicheng base?

No one knows, they are all living in a sweet dream.
