next second

The Apocalypse, which should only exist in Christian mythology, has really come to our world. I always thought that such a prophecy would never come true. Unexpectedly, the disaster came unexpectedly on a moonless night.We stayed in the mountains for two more days, and the people here didn't seem to have the feeling that something extraordinary had happened to the outside world, maybe this is a world that has been forgotten by the outside world.

Precisely because it was forgotten by the outside world, this place is safe.My daily life is still playing games with local children or acting like a baby to my sister, and I don’t feel any changes.

"Xiao Yu, we can go to the outside world to see. It should be safe by now."

I stood up and couldn't help smiling when I saw the reluctance of the little girl beside me. I took off a hairpin that I had been wearing on my head and put it on for her.This girl has an incomprehensible attachment to the outside world. I have seen many children eager to get out of remote and backward areas, but her feelings are completely different from those people.She is not longing for the bustling world, but simply has a strong desire for the outside world.

"Xiaoyun, I will be back soon, so you have to wait for me obediently. This is for you, and I will leave it with you first, and return it to me when I come back."

"Ok!"

After closing the door, the car started slowly, as silent as when it came.The dead branches and fallen leaves on the road have not changed at all compared to when we came, and time seems to have stopped in this mountain.It was terrible silence again. I think only dead silence can describe this unusual silence.This road is too long, so long that the car can't finish it for two hours. This mountainous area should not be able to accommodate a straight road of more than 100 kilometers long, but it did.This mountainous area may also be an unusual existence.

"Why do you say that, and the card issuer just gave it away, didn't you spend 200 yuan to buy it?"

"I just want to gamble on the future of the times. The first time I saw this child, I knew she was extraordinary. She was only a few years old, but she had such deep eyes and a heart that was almost calm to nothingness. Well, that I didn't give it to her when I issued the card, but I said I would come back to get it."

"Are you trying to imitate Shanks?"

"No, I still want to keep my arms."

After three hours of driving, we finally came to the highway on the mountainside.Xueling parked the car here, and we got out of the car to rest temporarily.Passengers in the car were not allowed to get off the highway in the past, but now there is no such restriction.The outside world is already in a mess. There are basically no people coming to this highway where we have not seen a car for several hours when we came here, and the probability of being hit by a car is infinitely close to zero.

Standing on the mountainside and looking towards the city, the city that was a prosperous landscape a few days ago has been run down, with ruins and ruins everywhere, and all the buildings in the city center have collapsed. I can’t see whether there are valleys on the ground of the city, but I want to get close Should be able to find out.Here you can see cars huddled together on the road out of the city—things that melted in high heat and then cooled and solidified into all kinds of strange-shaped metal objects. The cars that were supposed to take people out of the city turned into efficient killing tools , The moment the liquefied or even vaporized metal touches the body, the person is dead.

Has even such a city been destroyed?The ranking of this kind of city in China should be after 150. If cities of this level are not spared, the fate of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen is also doomed.No traffic or aircraft can be seen here, because it is too far away to see whether there are people on foot active in the ruins, so it is better to observe closely.

"I saw it."

"Well. Sister Xue, what resources do we need to replenish in the city? I can think of medicines, clothing, metal items, are there any more?"

"That's about it. Xiaoyu is still very sensitive to these." Xue Ling took out a small box from under the bed that was always carried in the car, then opened the sealed box, and took out two pistols. Guns. "We don't go to the main city, we go directly to the satellite city, where the damage is less, and the high-rise buildings in the city center are still relatively intact. Did you see that six-story building, which is still standing in such a disaster? , A building like this in a satellite city will basically be a shopping mall, let's go there and have a look."

Is it dangerous enough to need to carry a thermal weapon with you?Also, after the catastrophe, urban resources must be extremely scarce. People who know nothing about this kind of disaster may regard it as an earthquake-like disaster, thinking that there will be many disasters in succession, and give up on themselves under the influence of such thoughts There will be a lot of people, and these people will be the main obstacle in our search for material.In addition, under the influence of the energy shock, who knows if zombies or other strange creatures will appear, and having weapons can give yourself more or less courage.

Strangely enough, I wasn't surprised that Xue Ling, who was a high school girl, took out a gun, as if it should have been so long ago.

The standard attire in the era of destruction should be short hair and tights, which can ensure the speed of action.That being said, I don't have the idea of ​​cutting my hair short, and my acceleration doesn't seem to make any sense when I have no combat power.Xue Ling, on the other hand, tied her long hair into a ponytail before leaving the room and asked me to do the same. She tied her hair into a ponytail and even tied me into a double ponytail.

"Why do I wear double ponytails?" Is there any difference between running like this and letting it loose, or is it more cute?

"Xiao Yu's role is to be cute."

really.

Severely damaged vehicles blocked the road into the city, and I was terrified for a while when I faced the bones and metal objects that could no longer recognize the original appearance.There is no way to move forward on such a road, and the metal objects will cause damage to the tires. We had to detour to find other routes, and it took a long time to enter the satellite city.Thanks to the scorching sun, it provides theoretically unlimited power for solar-powered cars.

I expected to meet some people, but there were no people, not even any living things.Theoretically, many escaped people would gather in satellite towns that were not affected much by the disaster.No, this is just as it should be. If it was my first reaction, it would be to flee to the countryside or a mountainous place where the more backward and remote the better and the safer. How dare I come back to die after taking my life.I'm just curious where did the survivors go, the neighboring towns?Another question is why Xue Ling is so sure that such a disaster will happen, why can a high school student find a mountain village that is almost isolated from the world?Sure enough, people are very concerned.

"Where should I go first? A supermarket, a clothing store or a pharmacy?"

"Of course it is a pharmacy. We can get food in the mountains, and we can exchange clothing with the residents brought back from the outside world. It's just that medicine is made by industry. Since two days ago, the whole of China, no, I'm afraid the whole world China's industry has basically returned to the level it was at least 50 years ago."

Finding a pharmacy was not difficult at all. We quickly found a large pharmacy in a satellite city. Since I didn't understand the different uses of medicines, Xue Ling did the whole shopping process by himself.I felt guilty for a while watching her deftly gather the essential medicines she needed according to the names and positions of the medicines.Xue Ling has always been very healthy and rarely catches a cold, but my younger sister is constantly sick and forced her to become a half-doctor.Speaking of which, I didn't even catch a cold during the long period of time in the mountains. Is it really the positive impact of the good natural environment in the mountains?

"Xiao Yu, take away some Radix Banlangen, you are very familiar with that thing. And this small Bupleurum granule... They are all necessary medicines for raising a younger sister when traveling at home..."

Traveling at home to raise a younger sister... raising a younger sister...

"Just bring necessary medicines. You can't bring too many of these things. After all, you can't just take medicine for nothing. Let's go to the clothing store and supermarket later, and by the way, if it's safe, Xiaoyu can eat snacks and have a good time. Get well soon Get in the car and move on to your next destination."

The pedestrian street where clothing stores are concentrated is only 300 meters away from the pharmacy. Xue Ling entered the outermost store first, and came back with a few clothes after 3 minutes. It was the style I often wear, or she often bought it for me. style.Forget it, after all, I have always liked the clothes she picked out for me.

So the one at the end is an underwear store?The outermost shelf is full of common underwear, and the further you go in, the more something is wrong. After three shelves, there are all kinds of transparent hollowed-out sex toys.Xue Ling scanned the models and picked up a few translucent underwear that were obviously not usually worn, and I couldn't complain.However, it's really pretty, so I'll get one too.

"I've already taken Xiao Yu's."

"Why do you think I'm willing to wear this kind of underwear, and my size you..."

"Of course I know Xiao Yu's size. As for why I wear it...I want to see if Xiao Yu wears it well?"

"..."

"Then the next goal is the supermarket, where we can find a lot of things at once. Xiao Yu naturally has a lot of snacks that he likes, and the focus is on the toilet paper and sanitary napkins that we must have as girls. In addition, a supermarket of this size can also Get other unexpected goodies."

The six-story building is really a supermarket. I can't help but admire Xue Ling's good eyesight. Sure enough, people are not equal.I have paid great attention to protecting my eyes, and my eyesight is only 1.0 and 1.1. Why is she still reading 1.5 plus 1.5 when she reads in bed every day for so many years.

"Something like toilet paper and sanitary napkins can be found in any roadside store, so why do you have to come here. Sister Xue, I have a bad feeling, we'd better get the things and leave as soon as possible..."

"Don't make a sound."

Xue Ling suddenly wrapped me in her arms and covered my mouth, and I immediately calmed down and looked around carefully close to her.Something must have happened, otherwise she wouldn't have such a serious expression.

shock.

At first, it was just a slight noise, and then the vibration became more and more obvious. It was not an earthquake-like vibration that collapsed everything in an instant, but a vibration that felt rhythmic and would not have much destructive power. It must be said like If it was something, it was probably the footsteps of some kind of huge creature walking.
