In those years of beating the enemy to work

An old but clean toilet; yellow rusty water gushing out of the faucet; under the pale light, the same pale face.

The person in the mirror is her and not her.

There is still a big difference between the appearance of a 20-year-old and a 14-year-old.

At that time, I hadn't grown up yet, my face was green and immature, and my eyes always looked wet, so I was very attracted to strange people.She clearly remembered the time when she was followed after school, and fortunately because of this appearance, the messenger of justice was never absent in her life.

He raised his hand to caress his upper cheek, and the person in the mirror was doing the same.The soft and delicate skin touch is transmitted to the brain through the fingertips.Recalling the scene during the day, she once again clearly realized the fact that she had already crossed.

How to do?

Why am I the one who traveled through?

The sense of despair would turn into pus and blood overflow from the brain, but the eyeballs were so dry that no tears could be squeezed out.

The light in the bathroom flickered, and slowly the walls began to rotate.The repressed, uncomfortable, helpless, painful emotions made it difficult to breathe.The wall in front of me rotates faster and faster, until the vision can no longer keep up with the speed of rotation——

—Darkness strikes.

"Hahaha……"

"Oh Lila! You run slowly!"

"DiDi-!"

“Pete's Burger! Your go-to for the perfect breakfast!”

The sound of cars on the street; the laughter of children going to school; the crisp ringing of bicycles passing by; and the sound of snacks in the alleys are the beginning of a new day in the city.

Mu Ning was awakened by these chaotic and vigorous voices.

Thoughts are still immersed in a dream and cannot be pulled out, but the moldy spot on the ceiling in front of him and the vibrant voice outside are extraordinarily real.The strange city, the strange room, and the familiar sunshine pull people from the abyss of nightmare into the reality they don't want to face.

"Ha—" Mu Ning covered his mouth and yawned.

No matter how warm and peaceful the morning light in a different world is, it still makes people have no desire to get up.She turned over and hid decadently on the inner side of the bed, in the shadow where the sun couldn't reach, and rolled herself into a lobster.

The gray cross-check quilt on my body always has a lingering musty smell. Even if I cover my nose, it keeps drilling into my temples, causing my head to hurt.The bed was not soft enough, and the pillows were too hard to sleep on. I always felt bugs crawling on my bare arms, and I stretched out my hands to grab them, but there was nothing.

Everything makes people so uncomfortable, but they have to hold their noses to get used to it.

"Click."

There was a slight sound of opening and closing the door next door, and then there was no movement.The whole house was dead silent.Mu Ning opened his sleepless eyes, looked at the wall only 10 cm away from his face for three seconds, and then closed them again.

There are no footsteps, and the distance between two rooms is two steps. Since there is no knock on the door, it seems that they will not bother me, which is good.

The dilapidated desk lamp on the table and the alarm clock that does not move the words make the room feel a bit more old-fashioned.Apart from the annoying noise from the street, the house was actually very quiet.

Just when she was about to adapt to the two extremes inside and outside the house, and fell asleep again after shielding the outside interference, there was a knock on the door of her room.

Very politely, three times at a time, with an interval of 1 minute between each time.

roll.she said in her heart.

She doesn't want to pay attention to the man outside the door now.

The negative emotions brought to her by time travel and the dangerous new world are enough for her to recall endlessly, now, at this moment, please let it go.

If there is a musty smell, let it be, and if it is noisy, let it be noisy, I want to be alone now.

After nine knocks on the door, there was no movement outside the door, but there was no sound of footsteps leaving either.

gone?

Mu Ning's fingers twitched, and then she turned over.

"what!!"

The man was sitting on her bedside table, playing with the water glass she put on it last night.

【"Ah, I was discovered by you."】 His voice still carried the laziness of just getting up, 【"Well, what a pity, I planned to use some special means to wake you up."】

The scallion-like fingers were propped up under the water glass, and the glass shook violently, but not a single drop of water spilled out.He was still wearing the same blue tracksuit from yesterday.Yesterday, due to the tight schedule, I didn't pay attention to his suit at all. Now that I looked at it closely, I realized that it was covered with dark blue blood.

The smell of rust is so strong, it must be blood, right?

Also, how did this guy get in here?Is the door still locked?

Mu Ning glanced at the door, the lock was still hanging on it.

Heck.

Her gaze turned to a window so narrow that only a 3-year-old could climb in.

【"Well, that's right, I did come in through there."] The man followed Mu Ning's line of sight and made a quick move.

"What do you want to do?" Mu Ning asked him.

Obviously there is a language barrier, but in some respects the two parties can still understand what each other wants to express.

The man gestured to eat, and then made a cross: ["This coffee shop does not have any food other than coffee. There is no sign of regular delivery at the back door. I guess the life downstairs is very poor and needs to Go to the market to purchase ingredients to maintain the daily life.”]

After filtering out unnecessary nonsense and watching the gestures, Mu Ning understood.Although she really wanted to drive people out now, her reason prevented her from doing so.

She is not stupid enough to be swayed by emotions and the locals throw her face and cut off the only way to survive.She hasn't eaten anything except coffee since last night, and she's already hungry.If she offends a man whose strength is higher than hers again, without money, she will definitely live a life worse than she is now in the future.

A coffee shop where people have died is not a good place to stay for a long time. If you live on the street, it will be an even more desperate hell.

Now, the reason why the other party came to him to tell him about the lack of food was probably related to last night-this person is not convenient to go out, and some work needs to be done by himself.

Maybe that's the reason why I didn't kill me last night, Mu Ning thought.

This is a great money making opportunity.

"You need me to buy food for you."

Mu Ning made a gesture of putting something into a bag and eating it.

The man nodded, then took out his wallet from his trouser pocket, and handed a handful of money to Mu Ning.

【"Ah, that's right. Besides food, I also need alcohol and a skin stapler."】

The man lifted up his clothes on the right side, and showed Mu Ning the vertical wound on his right abdomen.

The wound made Mu Ning's eyes widen. He never thought that there would be someone in this world who was injured so badly and survived, and even fought against her without bleeding.

This person just slept in the next door with a broken stomach?Are you kidding me?

Before she could check whether the wound was a machine or an organ, she put down her clothes conveniently, opened the door and left.

【"Then, pack up and go, I'll wait for you to come back."】

The pronunciation of the last few words was very heavy, and Mu Ning guessed that the other party was threatening him not to try to escape.

Strange city, familiar reinforced concrete buildings. oxi supermarket.

Mu Ning strolled around pushing the shopping cart.

"Rather than... go back and continue to get along with that dangerous person, why don't you just take the money and leave..."

Treat men's threats as farts.Mu Ning only bought simple daily necessities and compressed biscuits, and went out of the city with a shopping bag and the remaining money.

Without an identity document, she probably couldn't take transportation, so she planned to leave on foot.

Muning walked away from the bustling area of ​​the city.Next, judging the development situation based on the environment, she found that, in addition to the prosperous central area, the further you go, the more depressed the economy is.

She walked through the royal gardens in high-end residential areas; she also walked through ordinary commercial streets; she also walked through slums, and saw a middle-aged man with a yellow face and thin body lying in the shadow of a collapsed building.

There is also a red light district in this city.In broad daylight, there are women with heavy makeup standing on the porch smoking a cigarette. In the dilapidated alley, the walls and floors are covered with urine stains.

Mu Ning jumped over the sleeping drunk man with the trash can in his arms, raised his middle finger at the malicious gaze cast by the woman, ignored the other party's astonishment, and strode away.

Soon, she came to the edge of the city.

She was finally about to leave, and she was inexplicably relieved.

"Woo-hoo!!!"

Then, a giant wolf with wings and long antlers jumped up from the vast forest and bit the giant snail on the other side.

"Guji Guji Guji..."

The snail secreted a kind of mucus to wrap the giant wolf, and the winner was soon decided, and the snail devoured the giant wolf.

The shopping bag in Mu Ning's hand fell to the ground.

Noon, 12:35.

Mu Ning returned to the coffee house with three bags of food and daily necessities.

【"Ah, you are finally back, I thought you had escaped."】

A man sits on a high stool in front of the bar in a cafe, fiddling with a long purple needle in his hand.

It's a pity, thinking about activating the needle after running away.The man thought of the needle he inserted obliquely when he kissed the woman last night, and thought coolly.

Inside the bar, the shopkeeper who should have died was grinding coffee beans expressionlessly.

The kettle beeped sharply, and the [-]-degree hot water had boiled.

"Goooooooooooo..."

When the water is mixed with the ground coffee powder, the smell of paste aroma quickly covers the damp and musty smell in the house.

Too many things beyond her cognition have appeared today.

Muning put on a blank face.Now, she doesn't want to think about why the dead can move, and she doesn't want to know why there are big monsters outside the city.Unreasonable things appear in the unreasonable world, just like her unreasonable time travel, there is no way to trace the source, and it will only increase troubles.

So Muning walked into the kitchen.

What she needs to do now is to fill up the refrigerator, and then solve the problem of dinner.

【"You actually bought some raw materials. It's really troublesome. You can fill your stomach after buying some quick-frozen food and reheating it."】

The hungry man rummaged through the refrigerator for a while before finally finding a bag of sausages.He tore open the wrapper and gnawed.

【"It's really unpalatable."】He had a calm expression, with dissatisfaction in his tone, 【"Forget it, it's fine if you can fill your stomach, and you can't ask too much for mission time."】

The man who ate the whole sausage went upstairs and talked to his family on the phone from the room.

【"Well, I still need a few days, yes, don't worry, Mom, Archie..."】

Mu Ning, who was downstairs and could vaguely hear the conversation upstairs, curled his lips.

Even if you say on the phone that you don't like to wear pants, I still don't understand, okay?

Burn the hair off the pig's trotters with a lighter, and Mu Ning throws them into the pool one by one to scrub.

Then an hour later, the aroma of braised pig's trotters and the aroma of rice shuttled back and forth between the upper and lower floors.

The man... The man walked downstairs and appeared at the kitchen door.

【"It smells really good, what are you doing?"】

Mu Ning returned and handed him a bowl of rice.
