Wild grow

Chapter 131

Probably because the activities in the inner world were too rich after being blind, Fushen couldn't control the emotions on his face, so the expression of "you are teasing me" easily fell into the eyes of another person in the room—the young Woman, she let out a soft laugh: "You don't believe what I said."

"..." Fu Shen was silent for a while, "You are very hostile to me, so I don't want to believe you."

"Even so, please listen to me before making a judgment—at least don't throw me out before I speak."

Fu Shen was silent, and moved his hand away from the calling bell - when Enoch told him that this thing was installed in the room, he thought it was funny and boring, as if he was a useless waste...

Now it is rare for him to want to use this thing once, but he was cruelly persuaded.

"I don't think there is anything to talk about between us." Fu Shen said.

"There's a lot to say."

"for example?"

"What I'm going to say next may represent the position of most human beings."

"..."

The woman took two steps on the soft carpet, probably for a while to think about something, then stopped, and started her self-introduction: "My name is Julie Joan, and I am Jasmine's sister. If everything is as usual, The 24th of last month was supposed to be my [-]th birthday. Before that, I was a kindergarten teacher, had parents and a lovely sister, a boyfriend who was getting married and a steady job...until the sun went out , Before the sign of the wild hunt appeared in the sky, my life was so ordinary that I could hardly imagine what earth-shattering things would happen to it.”

Fu Shen sat up a little: he quite liked the beginning.

"That day I got up early as usual, and when I was eating breakfast, I saw the explosion in the Delaware suburban research institute on the news network. In fact, it doesn't matter much, I still have my work and life, and I didn't spend even 10 minutes to care about what happened in a place far away from me... When I went out that day, the weather was slightly colder than the previous day, but I didn't care After all, it is still an uncertain winter."

"The impact of the research institute should not be so fast."

"You're wrong, it's actually very fast." Julie Joan said, "Soon... about one more day later, the weather became unacceptably cold. Some parents called to ask for leave one after another, but some children still arrived. Kindergarten is here, we turn on the heating to the maximum, the classroom is still like an ice hole, we are all very cold, so cold that we can’t even play games, and the play clay is frozen like a lump of ice... My boyfriend and I played Called complaining about the goddamn weather, he told me to put on some extra clothes, then I put down the phone to get some hot water for the kids, at this point a kid came over and she told me her friend was asleep, whatever Can't wake up."

Julie Joan paused, she realized that what she said was incoherent, but after a while, she continued to speak... but her voice became a lot deeper and hoarse——

"That was the first time I saw death directly. A child who was just four years old and hadn't even had time to learn to ride a bicycle died in his sleep like this."

Fu Shen frowned slightly.

"He was frozen to death. Forgive me I don't want to think about that time at all. I... I was terrified at the time. I don't know why it happened. The heater was on, but it was a little cold in the classroom! I subconsciously Call the police, and ask yourself frantically, will I be sued? Will I be sued in court? Will I lose my job? What will people around me think about this matter-a kindergarten teacher's dereliction of duty? Although her only All I did was walk away for about 5 minutes and call my boyfriend? ... I freaked out."

"and then?"

"Then? Then I found out that my worries were completely unfounded—Joanna—oh, that dead child. Her death was just a key that opened the gate between heaven and hell and the world. The second Today, the sun no longer rises, and the phenomenon of wild hunting, which symbolizes the ancient curse, appears in the sky. When the world is swallowed by eternal night, people begin to die one by one. No one remembers Joanna's death anymore, because of death All of a sudden it became so frequent."

"……I'm very sorry."

Fu Shen said this-a bit of a pun, no matter from which aspect.

At this moment, the resistance on the face of the black-haired young man faded away, he calmed down, and decided to finish what the woman wanted to say: no matter what she had to say next.

"A few days later, all public facilities became paralyzed. Some people rumored that the radiation from Delaware affected the weather, but we didn't know the real situation. Few people even understood why we suddenly lost the sun! About a week After that, we stopped going to work, and in fact, no one sent their children to kindergarten... The day the principal informed me that the kindergarten was closed because we no longer had a child-oh, that was me and the principal Last contact with her, she was a sweet woman, and God bless her is doing well, although I think she has probably…”

Juliejoan fell silent again.

"What happened next?" Fu Shen asked.

"The peaceful life is torn apart, I can no longer get through to my boyfriend's phone, the snow outside the door is so thick that I can't even open the door, my mother said that if I insist on looking for him, I will die, because my Your legs may be directly frozen to death in the snowdrifts." Julie Qiong returned to her calm tone, and then her voice sounded like she was explaining other people's stories, "About three days later, no one stopped me Me, because my mother died, and my father was very sad. I hid in the room and cried while hugging my mother's body. When I wanted to tell him to eat something to save his energy, I found that my father was gone too, probably because of his heart. Who knows about the onset of illness? After all, at that time, the world was in chaos."

"..."

"Supermarket food has suddenly become a luxury, and the price is also the same. Some people are willing to buy a small bag of powder for [-] dollars, and chocolate is also very expensive... High-calorie junk food has become a necessity of life." Julie Qiong said, "But It was a short period of time, because soon the shopkeepers of the supermarkets realized that the currency might soon become worthless waste paper, and they began to pull down the doors and refuse to sell anything, and they locked themselves in In the middle of the well-stocked shelves, he suddenly became the richest person in the world."

"What about you?"

"Many people froze to death. My sister and I were locked at home and didn't dare to go out—calculating how long the leftover food would last if we saved food, finding all the flammable things in the house to light a fire every day, and even destroying the furniture. We drank The water from the snow melted outside the house, my mother used to say it was not clean, but no one cared anymore, my mother was gone... and I thought at that time, we would die soon too."

"In the end, you survived."

"Yes, we eventually got help, and we came to the base and were told that we might be the last surviving humans in Washington—we were put on an empty floor, men, women, and children, everyone It was very silent. We were assigned military supplies, three of us shared a kettle, each with a small piece of compressed biscuit every day, there were soldiers walking around and patrolling, we didn’t know what was going on, we just watched numbly, and didn’t even want to talk—” Julie Joan smiled quickly, "I shared a kettle with a woman who was probably a Cambodian witch for a month, and I didn't even know her name at the end..."

"What about her?"

"Dead," Julie Joan came to the bookcase, looked at her face reflected in the glass, her stiff smile retracted, and she became expressionless, "I don't know if it was starved to death, frozen to death, or simply Suicide - At that time, living became very meaningless. People just lived, with no interest in life and no hope. There are always people who say, "I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of living". It makes no sense for me to say this: if you can live well Alive, who would want to die?"

After Zhu Liqiong finished speaking, she turned to Fushen—looking at the black-haired young man who was sitting on the edge of the bed, tilting his head slightly and listening to him, who seemed to be serious, her eyes flickered and became full of complicated emotions: "The story says It's over."

"Ok?"

"That's what I want to say."

"..."

Fushen thought for a while, and didn't quite understand, but he always felt that he had already understood - but he didn't struggle for long, because the next second, his hands were gently covered by a pair of soft hands: "I really, really I'm sorry, everyone, including me, was hostile to you and made seemingly willful demands on you - it seems to you that you are indeed innocent and have been accused of being strangely responsible... But , the world has become what it is now, what have we ordinary people done wrong?"

"Julie Joan, I..."

"We are just living a good life like the day before! What did we do wrong, and we will live in darkness forever? Parents, lovers, relatives and friends, one by one lost contact or separated by yin and yang. At this time, what did we do wrong? What caused you to bear such a heavy burden?"

A drop of warm liquid fell on the back of Fushen's hand.

Zhu Liqiong's voice became unsteady, she sucked her nose desperately, but more liquid fell down and made a slight "click" sound, on the back of Fushen's hand, on the carpet——

"I don't know what we did wrong, or what went wrong... The death figures reported on the news and broadcasts are cold and vague, but behind each number are countless lives and hopes that have been torn apart—— I'm sorry, I'm sorry, we shouldn't force you to do something, in fact, everyone is crazy, we are all crazy! We are trying hard to build a new home, trying hard to love each other with these strangers around us, but we all know, After what's been through, some things just never get better..."

Zhu Liqiong sniffed, wiped away her tears, and let go of Fushen's hand. She stood up, looked down at the black-haired young man beside the bed who had been silent all this time, and said softly: "I'm really sorry these days What we have done. Tomorrow we will leave, we have long wanted to leave, every time we pass by the platform we stayed on, we think of all the bad experiences we had there, looking at the gate of the base, we It reminds me of how desperately I stepped over the gate and entered here."

"..."

"That's all I want to say," Julie Joan said. "I'm sorry to put you through this, just think we're just a bunch of lunatics who've grasped at some so-called life-saving straw and started to break down and go crazy! Good night, Frigg, and best wishes Have a good dream tonight."

"And you too, Julie Jean."

said the dark-haired young man beside the bed.

The door is opened, then closed.The room regained the tranquility it had before Enoch left and before Julie Joan rang.

Everything seemed to be just an illusion of God Fu, God Fu raised his hand, the cold wind from the window blew in, and the ice slag formed by the tears on the back of his hand fell on the back of his feet, a little cold.
