In the ten days since arriving here, Qianye went through a series of activities without even leaving Beicheng...
When he took Chen Xiaowei out of Beicheng on his bicycle, he noticed that the air around him seemed to have changed.
There are thick weeds on both sides of the road.
The layout of the buildings is like that of an old rural village, and you have to walk some distance to get to one.
The crow stood on the tip of the stone wall, looking at the two people coming from the North City with sharp eyes.
Qianye, who was originally relatively relaxed, suddenly became more vigilant.
he knows.
When the world of horror begins to pave the way for the atmosphere, that is when danger is about to come...
"Put your bag on your back and pay attention to your surroundings." Qianye reminded Chen Xiaowei in the back seat.
At this time, Chen Xiaowei, who was sitting in the back seat, felt a pain in her buttocks.
At first she wanted to throw down her backpack.
After discovering that there were no shops around as expected, he also followed Qianye's words, put his hands behind his back to support the bottom of his bag, and looked around cautiously...
Scene outside Beicheng.
It was something she had never been to or thought about.
Inexplicably, she suddenly felt that what Qianye asked her to do was right...
Even though Chino said nothing.
There is not much explanation for it...
"Why are there so few houses here? It seems so remote." Chen Xiaowei murmured in her mouth.
"What can I do? It's obvious that this is a suburb of the town. It's normal for there to be few houses." Qianye replied casually while riding a bicycle. He stretched out his left hand to point to the house closest to the two of them and added, "You can
Look over there, there are some tools for going into the sea piled next to it, and there's even a small boat on the shore."
"According to normal settings, the lifestyle of the residents living here should be fishing and seafood..."
Chino is right.
In this suburb that is almost stranded on the seaside.
There are indeed quite a few boats.
Most of the boats are used. The bottoms are obviously corroded by seawater, and the edges have sea salt left on the wooden boards after the seawater has evaporated...
"So... what's the meaning of our coming here?" Chen Xiaowei asked this question, but she didn't expect Qianye to answer her well.
Because she asked this more than once.
And every time Qianye would avoid the topic in various ways to make a haha.
only.
After hearing the inquiry, Qianye's expression became extremely serious...
"Let me tell you this, we may probably experience such a wilderness survival next."
"The reason why you are asked to carry these things is to prevent hunger and thirst."
"Then we walked to this place because there are abundant tools for going into the sea... Even if we eat all the food, we won't starve to death."
"In terms of food, fish can be used as a supplement, and in terms of drink, sea water can be distilled and refined."
"Although the process is very troublesome and the food may not fill our stomachs, it can at least replenish our biological energy."
Finished talking.
After hearing the explanation, Chen Xiaowei not only didn’t understand.
Instead, he became even more confused.
"When...do we have to engage in wilderness survival?" she replied blankly.
"It's not like we have to live in this place forever. There are only ten days left. Even if everyone in the town dies, there are still shops and there is no shortage of food. It won't be difficult to survive for ten days."
Qianye understood what Chen Xiaowei was thinking.
After all, for both of them.
What I experienced was just a nap, and then the rain stopped and everyone in the town disappeared.
What about wilderness survival at this time?
It will indeed be difficult for people to understand and accept for a while...
"I'll keep it short."
Chino continued to explain.
"Some of the people in the town were cut into pieces and placed in houses."
"You've seen this before."
"But just those corpses, it's completely impossible for them to belong to everyone in Beicheng where we were before."
"How come there are only a few corpses in such a big town..."
"Then what?" Chen Xiaowei listened carefully to Qianye's lecture like a student.
She always felt like the other party had discovered something wrong.
It was a question that had led her everywhere from the very beginning, but was hidden in her heart and refused to be spoken out.
"This is a horror world, not just for magic." Qianye ignored Chen Xiaowei's praise.
Even before the other party has finished speaking, he continues.
Obviously he had been preparing to tell these things for a long time.
"There are not enough corpses for the number of living people, so where will the others go?"
"Becoming a living person? Evaporating from the world? Or is it an illusion? Or is it time travel?"
"What on earth do you want to say..." Chen Xiaowei couldn't understand Qianye's thoughts.
"I discovered a little problem when you were looking for a bicycle."
When Qianye talked about this.
He parked his bicycle on the side of the road.
Turning around to look at Chen Xiaowei in the back seat.
"This town seems to have aged too fast overnight."
"Ageing?"
Chen Xiaowei was even more confused.
Seeing Qianye stop the bicycle, she immediately put the backpack behind her on the ground to give her muscles and bones a little rest.
"how to say......"
"You can understand that the moment the rain stopped, the speed of this town was speeding up, and time for both of us was stopped."
"From our perspective, it's just a matter of seconds or just a nap, but countless days have passed outside..."
I heard Qianye say this.
Chen Xiaowei subconsciously looked around.
"It's useless for you to look at it now. We've never been here before. You don't know if it will change."
Qianye saw Chen Xiaowei's intention and reminded him.
He pondered for two seconds and then said:
"Although this town is a small island near the sea, the houses will be corroded much faster than normal due to the sea water."
"But from what I noticed, the scene over there in Beicheng has become a bit exaggerated."
"I have been to the place where we two stayed before, and I still have some impressions. For example, there is new mold growing in the corner of the outhouse, which did not exist before. Even if it rains, it will not grow so big in more than ten days.
"
"You understand what I mean, right?"
not understand...…
Chen Xiaowei really wanted to tell Qianye.
However, she was afraid that she would be hit by Qianye's words again, so she answered more tactfully.
"Isn't your idea... a bit fanciful? You just saw the new mold growing in the corner of the house, and after a series of inferences, you came to this outrageous... conclusion?"
"Is it outrageous?" Qianye asked.
"Isn't it outrageous?"
Chen Xiaowei said.
It can only be said that time stops and pauses, this is not a place that normal people should think of.
She didn't know if Qianye's mind was normal.
Sometimes I even wonder if the other person has some mental problem.
If you really want to say something like time pause, it would be difficult for her to agree...
A place that should be full of weirdness.
It was hard for Chen Xiaowei to imagine how she could be related to these ridiculous things.
If we put it another way and say that the town suddenly changed due to some kind of curse, maybe Chen Xiaowei can think about it seriously...
Seeing that Chen Xiaowei didn't believe her at all.
The other person's eyes still looked like he was looking at an idiot.
Qianye had no choice but to let it go.
"Forget it, I don't blame you, after all, the previous horror scripts were all in that style."
"Maybe it's because you've come into contact with bloody, dark, abandoned old buildings, and ghosts a lot. It's normal for you to be pushed into something else for a while, and you won't be able to accept it..."
Qianye never thought of explaining all his thoughts clearly.
Too much content.
For Chen Xiaowei's understanding, it is impossible to finish the sentence in three or two sentences...
He paused and then said: "You just need to know that the current town is different from the previous one. It has experienced some things while we were sleeping. Those who have not died are now hiding in a certain corner, playing in the wilderness.
It’s a game of survival.”
"And now you really have to stay up for ten days. It doesn't feel like a trip like before. You have to be mentally prepared for this."
Watching Qianye speak clearly and logically.
Chen Xiaowei didn't know whether to agree or refuse at this time.
And just when she was distracted.
She found that Qianye had tied her hands behind her body and tied her with a hemp rope like a kidnapping...
"What are you doing?" Chen Xiaowei wanted to break free from the rope.
But Qianye was helpless and was tied up before she could react.
"Obviously, I'm controlling your actions." Qianye explained calmly.
"Control me? Why?"
"I'm afraid you'll kill me if I let my guard down."
Tie Chen Xiaowei's hands behind her back.
Qianye also nodded with satisfaction.
Then he hung the two bags containing items on the ground on both sides of the bicycle's head.
Don't tell me, it's really heavy...
Qianye felt that he might have to be careful while riding now, or he might even fall off due to the unbalanced weight of the handlebar head.
"You should be lucky, after all, you won't need a backpack next time."
"Then I really thank you..." Chen Xiaowei's patience with Qianye has reached its limit.
She really didn't know when she would lose control of her emotions.
"Don't be so arrogant, or I'll punch you."
Qianye looked at Chen Xiaowei who wanted to hit him, but didn't dare to do it. It was a bit funny.
He symbolically pressed the broken car bell which could only make a muffled sound.
He turned to Chen Xiaowei and said:
"Let's go. My hands are tied to take care of you. You might fall down if you sit in the back. I'll bear some hardships and walk with you for a while, and then we'll push the cart."
Chen Xiaowei remained silent and did not answer.
She walked forward sullenly, and when she passed Qianye, she bumped him hard with her shoulder.
A childish way of warning.
She really put it to good use.
Looking back at Chen Xiaowei's back walking in front, Qianye didn't know what he thought of, smiled softly, and then followed...
...
...
All right.
In fact, the discovery of some mold and the series of events that caused time to be suspended were all made up by Chino.
That's why it seems so logical and unreasonable.
In fact, when Chen Xiaowei was looking for a bicycle, it was Xie Aishan who told him about this world...
The time pause is real.
It’s just a personal pause in time…
Xie Aishan told Qianye what happened during this period.
In fact.
The rain stopped early.
The night before the tenth day to last, the rain had stopped by that time...
Xie Aishan said that she didn't know why Qianye and Chen Xiaowei slept for such a long time.
If it weren't for the fact that she could feel the aura of Qianye's living person, she would even have thought that Qianye died suddenly on the bed.
Because it started that night.
In the next half month, a lot of things happened...
During this half month, Qianye and Chen Xiaowei have been lying on the bed.
initial.
A strange phenomenon began to occur in the town.
That is, a group of people find that they have insomnia for no apparent reason...
No matter how sleepy you are.
No matter how much I want to sleep, I can't fall asleep successfully.
I rolled around in bed until the sun rose the next day, still with tired eyes.
On the morning of the first day, everyone stayed up late for a short period of time, which made their spirits excited for a short period of time.
But as time passes slowly.
These excitements gradually turned into extreme fatigue and lack of energy.
No one can concentrate well...
Even when it comes to completing the tasks in the envelope, everyone is like a walking zombie, dragging their bodies with only willpower.
The second day, the third day, the fourth day...
People started going crazy.
Although everyone knew that this was the fault of the invitation party, no one had a solution.
No matter how sleepy I feel.
I can't even fall asleep successfully...
Besides them, there was another group of people who had no way of waking them up after they fell asleep.
Just like Qianye and Chen Xiaowei.
They could lie in bed for several days without eating or drinking, and their vital signs were maintained normally, with no abnormality in their complexions.
If there is no way to fall asleep, there is a sharp contrast...
No one knows what happened.
Everyone can only bear it and think that as long as they survive for ten days, they can leave this world.
But......
Ten days without sleep.
Although some great people have successfully challenged this before, it doesn't seem to be a big deal.
But when it comes to actually doing it, it's not much different from slowly cutting someone's neck with a knife...
It's only the sixth day.
Most people can no longer hold on.
There are even people who are so hungry that they don’t even have the energy to eat...
The appearance of the town was turned upside down.
On one side, there were many sleepless people lying on the street who were obviously still alive but not much different from dead.
On the other side are people like Chino and the other two who fall asleep and can’t wake up again...
forming two extremes.
And it wasn't until the seventh day that someone died.
The big clock in the center of the town began to ring inexplicably.
According to Xie Aishan’s description.
The bell seems to have no rules, and it seems to be ringing according to some rules. It is very strange...
but.
As the bell rings.
Those who were about to die seemed to have received some kind of energy. All sleepiness and discomfort were immediately eliminated, and they all returned to normal and got up.
They all thought they had gotten through it.
Stay until the dawn comes.
"only......"
Xie Aishan added a very important detail to Qianye in this position.
"Those people seemed to have some problems with their brains after they were reborn."
"They started eating like crazy and overeating."
"Then, an identical version of myself came out of my mouth..."
