next second

Sudden man-made destruction, zombies coming from nowhere, purple fog covering the entire mountain, and unknown creatures appearing in the fog.It's really the plot of a suspense novel, but it's a pity that it doesn't follow the trend of suspense novel development at all.At this moment, in the small wooden house in this mountain village, listening to the approaching footsteps of unknown creatures, what kind of expression should we use to greet the coming opponent?It is not known what the creatures in the fog are, but from Hitsugiyaro's words, it can be roughly deduced that the things hidden in the fog are more powerful than zombies, and may cause us a lot of trouble.

The footsteps became heavy, and even the ground trembled slightly.Capable of causing such a jolt, the approaching creature had a formidable mass, probably weighing in tons.Xue Ling hugged me and sat up, holding the gun in one hand, while Ripan Gulu had already drawn out the sword.I can feel the murderous aura in this small room, as well as the faint uneasiness and fear.The murderous aura came from the two Valkyries beside him, but the source of the fear was himself.It seems that I have been lagging behind.

The sudden roar made me tremble in fright. The sound was deafening, as if a thunderbolt had exploded in the low altitude without warning, and the sawdust on the roof of the cabin fell under the roar.The roaring creature was less than 100 meters away from us, but I couldn't even raise my fighting spirit—on the contrary, I didn't even have the strength to escape now. I only felt that my breathing was heavy and my heart seemed to be jumping out.

Hitsugura carefully lay on the window to observe the outside situation, and she backed away after ten seconds, her expression was darker than the gloomy sky outside the window.The next second, she slammed the door open, and with a flash of light, I heard some animal howling in agony as it died.Almost immediately gunshots rang out and something fell out of the window.

The gunshots and shouts successfully attracted the attention of some kind of huge creature, and the footsteps began to move towards this side.

Xue Ling pulled me up and rushed outside, while Hitsugaya swung his sword to kill those who tried to approach.In the thick fog, I couldn't see the appearance of the enemies clearly. I could only judge from their blurred outlines in the fog which kind of creatures these things were more similar to in reality.In terms of appearance, it should be more like a monkey, right?It's just not as flexible as monkeys.

In a deep purple there was a huge shadow, about the size of an Asian elephant, whose scarlet eyes could be seen through the mist.Looking at it for just a second, I felt a cold breath, and my whole body became cold, as if even my blood was about to freeze.This is the most dangerous time for me. Faced with such a pair of evil eyes, I want to look away but can't do anything. My soul is pulled out of the body and sinks into the dazzling red little by little.Countless black vines entangled my whole body in the blood, and I tried desperately to break free but the thorny vines entangled even tighter.It was difficult to breathe, and my life was pulled away a little bit. I quickly fell from the mountain peak into the endless darkness. I don't know how long this sinking will last. There is no such thing as hope in my consciousness.

Light appeared from below the abyss.At first I thought it was an illusion, but gradually the light became brighter, and I could see purple bouquets swaying in the wind on the ground.

Purple bouquet!

"Finally woke up. Your sister is so courageous to look at that kind of thing." Hitsugura said with a half-smile, "The giant unknown creature in the purple mist has the size of an Asian elephant and the ferocity of a Bengal tiger. The bloody eyes will devour the soul, and anyone who looks at them will be buried in darkness. I have encountered this kind of thing once, and I ran away when I saw those red eyes. The girl who looked at each other."

"What is the so-called devouring soul?"

"When you meet its eyes, people will fall into a short-term unconscious state. This short-term unconscious state is enough for the strongest people to die dozens of times."

The purple mist is starting to lift and the world is back in light, so lovely.

The mountain village is still the old mountain village, no, it is no longer the old mountain village.The houses of the villagers have almost collapsed, and purple flowers are blooming everywhere.The flowers grew on black vines of a species I had never seen before, with tiny spines and no leaves.These things appeared with the purple mist, and after the mist dissipated, they remained in this world, but it was not known whether these vines had found the meaning of their existence.

Our hut has also collapsed long ago. From the wood and debris, we can only find Xue Ling's black box under the broken bed, and take out several sets of clothes, two guns and three knives inside.Standing in front of the ruins of the hut in silence for a long time, maybe at this time I should think about the future, but I don't even have the strength to speak.The unexpected end of the world, the mysterious purple mist, and the zombies everywhere, is it possible for us to survive?

I began to think about everything in the city, mobile phones, computers, air conditioners, fully automatic washing machines, bustling crowds in shopping malls, and endless traffic on highways.Sure enough, people are such creatures, longing for change and taking risks in a stable era, and wanting to return to a stable life in a chaotic era.Now it is impossible to go back, even the cities that are not considered third-tier have been devastated, and the cities we live in want to know that in the first wave of disasters, they have become the clouds of history.The city where I was born and grew up, the city that carried all my memories, has disappeared like smoke, those beautiful past, those bitter or sweet memories, are buried with the ruins forever.

I think of that rainy night when I was 13 years old.That violent rain, the flashing lights of the ambulance, and the scarlet that cannot be washed away by the rainstorm.

"Xiao Yu, don't be afraid, nothing will happen. We will go on together, no matter what happens, I will protect you."

Hitsuganiro watched the interaction between the sisters, and the expression on her face was quite wonderful.On the one hand, she hates Zheng Bingyu's life attitude that almost never depends on her sister blindly, on the other hand, she also envies Zheng Bingyu for taking care of her sister in every possible way.Sister, what a warm word, every time I see the warmth of my sister, I think of my loneliness.He obviously has a younger sister, and he had such a close and ambiguous younger sister before. He originally thought that this could last forever. The two of them reached the end of their lives, but fate made a huge joke.

Never forgive.Even if it is a younger sister.

noon.

The sunlight dispelled the purple mist that spread throughout the mountain, and the black vines all over the place quickly withered under the scorching sun, and the purple flowers also fell into mud.The unknown plants brought by the mist spread in the mountain village at an alarming speed, blooming beautiful and sad flowers. When the mist dissipates, its life is over, but the flowers keep the seeds before they are crushed into ashes. Maybe in the next mist When shrouded, they will break through the ground and sprout.

Is that why they exist?Perhaps the seemingly simple things often hide profound things, just like these sad plants that grow and die with the mist.

"Xiaoyu, what are you thinking?"

"I... I'm thinking... the meaning of this plant's existence."

"Don't think about philosophical issues. If you think too much, you will become stupid." Hitsugura stretched her body and lay on the grass, staring at the eastern sky for a long time.

"To be honest, I envy you all. It doesn't matter whether you are sisters or lovers. With such a bond, you are the most important person who accompany and support each other under any circumstances. I also want to have someone who can follow me behind me , the person who can become the reason for me to fight on. Sister or something, such a warm word, but I... lost it."

"Killed by zombies or?"

"Alive. I'd rather she be eaten by zombies."

murderous look.Although subtle, I was acutely aware of the murderous intent when she spoke of her sister.Something unpleasant must have happened to their sisters before, so that the sisters turned against each other.However, what kind of resentment can make the elder sister hate the younger sister who once protected and spoiled her, and hate her so much that she would rather die in the mouth of ugly zombies?Does Hitsugaya have such sad memories?

The place of shelter has been destroyed, and the residents of this mountain village have also disappeared mysteriously. We have to find a new residence.However, finding settlements in the mountains is no easy task, and anything in this unknown place can easily kill a person.Finding something that might come in handy from the ruins, we set up a temporary tent at the ruins of the village closer to the mountain, dragged our bedding out of the ruins, and planned to spend the night just like that.

What happened to those mountain people?

Huddled in Xue Ling's arms and fell into a dream, time passed that spring, when I met her for the first time in the park.

This is your sister Yao Bingyu.She is two years older than you, you have to listen to her.However, if she bullies you, don't let her, my sister is there to love you.

The seven-year-old girl put down the book in her hand, and her eyes stayed on me and my father, perhaps with some doubts, but in the next second, I saw my figure freeze in her eyes, so clear.

I am Xueling Zheng.Welcome home.

Back to that morning, leaving the city with her.

I can stay anywhere as long as I'm with you.We are sisters, the closest two people in the world since that disaster, and I will be with you wherever you go.So what about the most remote and backward mountainous areas, as long as we can be together, it doesn't matter where.I am a person with nothing, and I am never afraid of losing anything, but you are the only existence I can't let go of.

The existence that even the assumption of leaving has not been made.

Quiet forests, active birds, simple mountain people, and lively children.

That little girl in a white gown is my first friend here.Although she is only seven years old, she gave me the impression that she is not just a seven-year-old child. Every time I talk to her, I look at me through her eyes that are so deep that people are drowning in them, it is like facing a person who has traveled through the millennium. lonely soul.She was looking at me but not looking at me. From her eyes, I vaguely saw the figure of another girl.

I just hope you're all safe.
