Doomsday Allure

got windy.

Wei Buzheng was a little cold, but he really didn't want to rummage through the clothes in his bag, so he leaned against the slope of the leeward road and continued to persevere.

The car he was riding in broke down, and the experienced driver couldn't figure out the reason. There was a relatively prosperous town five kilometers southeast of the place where they were dumped. The driver went to the town to find a professional auto mechanic.

Wei Buzheng was unconscious for several days, and all the timekeeping tools were out of order. After waking up, he lost his accurate judgment on the time. He didn't know until he got to the bus station that it was around eleven o'clock in the morning.

But now, it was about five o'clock in the afternoon, with a distance of more than 170 kilometers, five hours had passed, and they were still about [-] kilometers away from their destination.

It's not that the driver's driving skills are not good, there are very few villages and towns along the way, and they haven't encountered people turning into zombies again, but because they can't drive very far, they will be blocked by cars in the middle of the road, and they suddenly can't drive for no reason. They had to go down and help push the car away before they could leave, and the driver almost went crazy because of this.

The place where Wei Buzheng is staying now has very beautiful scenery, which can be used as a computer screen saver in road landscape paintings: blue sky and white clouds, gentle slopes, forest-covered hills, small wild flowers swaying in the wind on the slopes on both sides of the road.

But at this moment, only a few very young children were crying or playing, and the adults all looked heavy and remained silent.

The young man who was sitting with Wei Buzheng had already got off the car in the county seat ahead, Wei Buzheng didn't go to talk to others, and no one came to him. He liked the quiet very much and wanted to take the opportunity to sleep for a while.

He feels that the driver may not be able to find a car repairer, and even if he finds it, he may not be able to repair it. He needs to recharge his energy and prepare to walk to the village and town ahead to find someone to take a ride, or very likely, he will walk to Yulang County up.

But he couldn't sleep. Apart from the anxiety in his heart, there was also a burst of energy that suddenly sprang up from his lower abdomen two or three minutes before the rear-end collision, and then circulated in his body all the time.

Maybe it's not appropriate to call it energy, but Wei Buzheng couldn't find a more suitable word to describe this feeling.

This energy is not uncomfortable, but the sense of existence is so strong that it is impossible for him to fall asleep. Wei Buzheng is worried that if it continues, he may fall into a coma again.

Looking up at the sun, Wei Buzheng set a limit for himself: wait another 10 minutes (approximately), if the driver does not come back, he will go by himself, find a place where no one is around, and wait for this force to trigger his old pain. Disease, or, turn him into a zombie.

Wei Buzheng intuitively believed that what turned the BMW driver and enthusiastic person into zombies should be this kind of strange energy that appeared inexplicably.

In less than 10 minutes, the driver came back, his face covered with sweat, and his face was gloomy and scary.

The stumbling passengers all stood up. Although they knew the result when they saw that the driver was alone, someone still asked out of luck, "Why didn't the repair shop come?"

The driver didn't answer him, but panted heavily and slapped his hands twice, signaling all the passengers to pay attention to his speech: "Let me tell you, the car is not repaired well, you can only find your own way to leave, I just went Several zombies also appeared in that town, and everyone in the town was trying to avoid them.

It's not that I'm irresponsible, it's that I can't afford it. You just saw that there are so many cars on the road that are broken down for no reason. I think something big has happened in this world. I have to go back. My whole family is in Jiman. "

"Someone has become a zombie again? Then, will we also become zombies?"

"How did this happen? Yesterday, several people in Jiman turned bruises and couldn't speak. Didn't they say it was acute variant pneumonia?"

"That's because the government is afraid of causing panic among the people and deceiving people."

"We all bought tickets, how could you leave us halfway?"

……

The passengers were chattering, all of them were panic-stricken, the driver ignored him and opened the door to pack his things.

Wei Buzheng stood up, tightened the belt buckle of the travel bag on his abdomen, bypassed the still noisy crowd, jumped onto the road and walked forward.

The driver jumped out of the car with a small bag, and shouted at Wei Buzheng's back: "Young man, keep going. There is a town about ten kilometers away. You can stay there when you get there. If you miss it, there are small villages behind you. Hotel."

Wei Buzheng didn't turn around, he raised his right hand and waved: "Thank you! Got it."

The setting sun was setting, and the surrounding scenery was beautiful and soft, but Wei Buzheng's heart fell to the bottom, and things really went to the worst direction. Now he doubts whether he will be able to get in the car again in the future.

If there is no car and only two legs are used to walk back to Zhongzhou, even if the journey is smooth and there are no accidents along the way, it may take half a year. But in the current situation, is it possible for the journey to be smooth?

The unpredictability of the future makes him worried, and the situation in front of him is more urgent and serious. What should he do if zombies appear in the town ahead?

The climate in Uza Province is different from that in Zhongzhou. When the summer is the hottest, you need to cover the quilt at night, but now it is October, and the temperature at night has dropped below five degrees. Moreover, the forest areas in the northern part of Uza Province are all In the National Wildlife Refuge, wolves, foxes, lynxes, and wild boars are very common here. Reports of wild boars destroying crops on a large scale, and wolves and foxes attacking villagers’ livestock pens at night are often reported in the newspapers. If he sleeps in the wild in this area , in case the coma lasts for several days, he may not have a chance to wake up.

Wei Buzheng was worried, and unknowingly, he walked faster and faster. After walking two kilometers, a Mercedes-Benz limousine came behind him. Hearing the sound, Wei Buzheng turned around and waved, and the Mercedes-Benz accelerated and rushed over.

Later, there were several cars that were heading towards him. Wei Buzheng stopped every time, trying to hitch a ride, but failed once. He noticed that these cars were all high-end models of high-end brands.

The cars that can't be restarted after parking on the side of the road are relatively low-grade cars.

A thought flashed in Wei Buzheng's mind, but he didn't think deeply about it. The town the driver mentioned had already arrived.

Thankfully, although the town looks deserted, there are still people on the streets, not the situation where every household shuts their doors and windows when a disaster strikes.

Wei Bu asked an old man who was harvesting corn on the side of the road where the inn was, and the old man pointed to the west: "Just turn around."

The small hotel is a two-story building, not on the side of the main road facing the provincial road, but on the main street of the town, turning west about 50 meters.

There is no electricity, so there is no 24-hour hot water. There are three thermos bottles in each room for guests to simply scrub their bodies. A single room costs 60 yuan a night; there is only one meal in the morning, and there is only one kind of meal, beef ramen.

There is a small restaurant next to the hotel, and the hotel owner happened to be chatting with the hotel owner. Wei Buzheng ordered a large portion of vegetarian fried rice and vegetable egg custard with him, and asked him to do it first, and he and the hotel owner looked at the room next to each other.

Normally, Wei Buzheng would choose the quieter second floor, but today he just walked ten kilometers with a big bag on his back, and he didn't want to go upstairs at all, so he chose directly on the first floor.

This place is a well-known scenic tourist town in Uza Province, especially famous for its autumn scenery. In previous years, this time is the best time for hotel business, but these days, the road from the provincial capital has been cut off, and there are no new ones. Tourists came, and the original tourists all ran away after hearing that there were people suffering from a terrible infectious disease nearby. The hotel had no guests for two days.

Wei Buzheng chose Room 116 near the west end of the corridor. There is an unknown big tree outside the south-facing window of this room. The crown is very large, and the leaves are changing from green to yellow. It is very beautiful. Wei Buzheng likes the beautiful scenery related to trees. .

Furthermore, this room is near the end of the corridor, and there is a fire safety door at the end of the corridor. Wei Buzheng tried it. The safety door is not a decoration, it can be opened. Cornfields on the southern slopes.

During Wei Buzheng's several years in Shengya Company, he needed to stay in the store frequently to run business, and he was very careful about safety. In case of an emergency, it was very important to retreat. .

When going through the formalities to pay the deposit, Wei Buzheng gave the boss two hundred more.

He said that he usually can sleep for several days. It just happened that in the past few days, because of blowing sand and rushing on the road, he has not been able to rest well, so he may sleep very hard tomorrow, and may sleep for several days in a row. If it is In that way, let the boss leave him alone. After he wakes up, he will pay the boss for a few days after he wakes up.

The boss must be very happy to accept this kind of request, and he agreed repeatedly, and said that he would persuade other guests not to make noise and disturb his rest.

After going out for a meal and then coming back, it was completely dark, and after a brief wash, Wei Buzheng went to bed, the energy in his body was still churning, and it was constantly strengthening, he felt that he could not hold on any longer.

Lying on the bed, he adjusted his breathing with the method he had explored in the past few years, then he emptied his mind and waited for that special feeling.

After about half an hour, it really came.

But this time, instead of the special feeling that started from his lower abdomen as before, and when he was close to coma, the landscape painting appeared in his mind, but a small dark green broad bean-shaped object flashed in his mind, that A beautiful landscape painting appeared in his mind with unprecedented clarity and reality, and then the energy that he was familiar with and completely different from the power that suddenly appeared in his body today started from the lower abdomen and spread to all limbs.

Wei Buzheng tried his best to keep his breathing rhythm not chaotic, and wanted to hold on for a while longer to see what happened when he passed out before.

But no, he felt that his consciousness was blurring, and the landscape painting was getting closer and closer in his mind. When he subconsciously reached out to touch a beautiful flower in front of him, the landscape painting suddenly seemed to be pulled away. Long shot is normal, go away quickly.

Before losing consciousness, a thought jokingly crossed Wei Buzheng's mind: Damn, if this is a portable space that I can enter, it would be great if this energy is the aura of cultivating immortals...

A breath of indescribable beauty rushed over his face, and the beautiful scenery suddenly appeared in front of his eyes clearly and truly from the landscape paintings that were already out of reach...

No, it's not in front of you, but he... is in it

Wei Buzheng looked at the large garden that was many times more beautiful than the surrounding scenery of Jiman—it doesn't seem appropriate to describe it as a garden, maybe it should be called a small world? --Senseless.

It felt too real to be a dream.

Wei Buzheng used the most common way to prove whether it was a dream - pinch his thigh fiercely - to prove it, the pain was so painful that he almost scolded himself a stupid x, how could he be so willing to pinch himself?

He squatted down and stroked the grass under his feet. It was a real plant, and it exuded a light and comfortable grassy smell.

The wild flowers on the meadow were very beautiful, but he looked carefully, but he didn't recognize any of them; but among the many kinds of flowers surrounding the small lake not far away, he felt that some of them were very familiar.

In the past 25 years, Wei Buzheng has visited this garden countless times in his dreams, so now he is not surprised that his mind is blank. On the contrary, he feels as if he has returned to his familiar home, relaxed and at ease.

As he walked towards the lake, it felt more real. The soreness in his legs caused by walking for ten kilometers with a big bag weighing about [-] kilograms almost made him stagger.

Subconsciously, the idea of ​​"Why is it so far away, if only I could run across it all at once" subconsciously appeared in his mind, and then...

He stood by the lake.

Looking back at the piece of grass where he had just stood, the green grass that had been crushed by his feet hadn't fully recovered.

"Is this teleportation?" Wei Buzheng said to himself, looking at a dreamlike forest in the distance and a few dreamy cottages hidden in it, he thought to himself, and said at the same time, "Try again .”

The next moment, he stood in front of a small thatched hut.

"Hehehe..." Wei Buzheng laughed out loud, and then he threw himself on the ground, "If it's a dream, then let's do it like this, let me sleep through this episode in a sweet dream, it's a good thing. "

As soon as the words fell, he passed out in a coma.
