death close at hand

journal:

April 6, 2050.

Eating instant noodles while observing monsters was a special feeling and experience, but I spent the whole night in a state of uneasiness, and I forgot when I fell asleep.

It is now six ten in the morning.

It's time to rush to the Southern Bridge evacuation point. Time waits for no one.

text:

I looked at the traffic-cluttered road with a bit of a headache. This is quite a troublesome problem.

It would have been fine when traffic was smooth in the past, but now, the entire city's transportation system is paralyzed. The lanes are full of vehicles parked indiscriminately, large and small, of all kinds. Let alone driving, even walking is a bit troublesome.

If you don't hurry up, it's very possible to exceed the evacuation time.

Although it is bad to take other people's things casually, it is better to keep this bat with you. I wish I had a thermal weapon with me. I don't know whether I can use it. At least I won't be so scared when I encounter the monster last night.

, at least a little confident.

I can't defeat that monster with this bat alone, but I won't lose, I won't be defeated, and as long as I'm alive, I will never lose.

It was still dark, it seemed like it was still night, so I had to turn on my flashlight as I was on my way.

I don’t know how many dangers I will encounter on the road, what kind of dangers, maybe I will meet people, I hope so.

Set a small goal first, arrive and evacuate alive and intact.

I started jogging and turned on the GPS navigation system on my phone. Nothing could stop me from leaving, no matter it was a damn mutant monster or a zombie!

That's it. Half an hour later, I was lucky enough to avoid those slow zombies and terrifying mutant pigs. This process is simple to say, but every step makes me extremely nervous. I may encounter them at this moment.

In a life-threatening atmosphere and environment, at least we successfully reached the dividing line to the southern bridge.

"Ding——! Due to maintenance reasons, the overpass is temporarily closed. Please wait patiently for the relevant personnel to repair it."

Wow, my God!?

What did you just say? I will never give in (╯°Д°)╯!

Why can't you get through? Because X city was built around a canal, it was divided into two parts: the north city and the south city. Because the southern city's geographical location is more suitable, the city center is also located in the south city. The north and south cities are collectively called X city.

, the way to connect the two cities, one is water transportation, the other is the overpass. The transparent overpass made of ultra-refined tempered glass that connects the two cities is very suitable for viewing the scenery or exercising your courage.

place.

(= ̄ω ̄=)So, waterway?

No, no, I can’t swim, and there’s no one to drive the boat.

Overpasses are bridges that can be passed by both pedestrians and vehicles. There are two in total in the city. They are also one of the characteristic landmark buildings of X City. They are usually open and will only be closed when they are under maintenance or when criminals cross the bridge.

Entrance and exit, this is also the reason for the installation of doors.

The door of the overpass is not a door in the traditional sense. It is a high-voltage current blocking device controlled by an intelligent system with the highest authority of the person in charge to warn and block people and vehicles who want to pass.

Climbing is not impossible, but it may have serious consequences.

It's possible that the other overpass is not under repair, but I can't take the risk. It's too far away from here, I don't know what dangers there may be on the road, and I don't have enough time to try it back and forth.

Could it be that...is this really necessary? I have never sailed a boat.

And I don’t know if there are many zombies at the dock. What should I do if there are too many? If there are too few, can I beat them?

How annoying! What should we do at this time? Yes, turn on the system to start the task route prompt!

I tried stretching my arms to the sky.



How stupid! There is no such thing, bastard! What is that? How can a system that makes it easier for novice players to get started like in the game exists in reality!!

Fortunately, there was no one around, otherwise it would have been very embarrassing.

I still mustered up the courage to run to the pier and take a look.

Are you kidding? Who wants to go to a zombie gathering place like that?

The idea of ​​going to the pier to sail across the river was rejected by a vote.

Zombies like a dense crowd gathered on the pier. Even if they moved slowly, they were still extremely scary.

Calm down, I want to maintain an optimistic attitude. At this time, I should... find a way... a way...

The protruding edge of the overpass comes into view.

"Yes."

But is it too risky? Or is it dangerous? This protruding edge seems to be only a little longer than the sole of a foot. If you don't stand firm... there is a river crossing below, in such a cold temperature, and you can't swim.

Time is passing. The road ahead is like a tiger blocking the road, but under the gloomy sky, the road behind is more like a man-eating monster opening its mouth. No matter what, I don't want to look back. Time can't wait too long.

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, don't be afraid!

He swallowed hard and mustered up the courage to step onto the edge.

Keep your body balanced and close to the wall of the overpass. Don't look down. Don't look down. Just do it step by step, step by step! It can be done!

The speed can be compared with that of a snail, and gusts of cold wind blow against my face from time to time. Although my face and hands are very uncomfortable with the cold, I am very grateful and fortunate that the wind is not blowing from behind. It is great that there is a wall behind.

!

If there were people inside the overpass, they would definitely think I was crazy if they saw me through the glass wall.

The river is not very wide, so the length of the overpass is not exaggerated. There is no problem with this distance, it can be done! Just be careful, and be more careful.

Speaking of why the design of this overpass is so anti-human, most overpasses are obviously not that difficult to climb, although I have not climbed over the overpass! However, I can see the other side, but it is still some distance away.

No problem, it works! Totally awesome leather sofa!

Huh? Suddenly I felt like I had stepped on something, slippery, and my body was hanging in the air, hanging in the air... What floated past was a banana peel. Why is there a banana peel in a place like this? Speaking of which, it is common to slip on a banana peel.

Things that only happen in comics rarely happen in reality...

"Ahhhhhhhh!!!"

After breaking away from the edge of the overpass, my whole body was falling! My heart was tightening and beating wildly, as if it was about to jump out of my throat! I grabbed it with both hands, and when I came back to my senses, I found that I was very lucky to have caught the protruding edge, and I was teetering on the edge.

was hung under the overpass.

I couldn't help but gasp because I was too frightened, and I felt like it was a little difficult to breathe.

The phone fell out of my trouser pocket, but I could only watch helplessly as it fell into the river with a soft thud, while I held on to the edge of the bridge with both hands and dared not let go.

After that, I saw a terrifying scene. Just where I dropped my phone, the river suddenly rolled. Although it was very blurry, I could see one or several black creatures swimming in the river. They were very huge.

Creature, a terrifying creature! It definitely doesn’t look like a big tiger shark!

You can't look down, you absolutely can't look down! No matter what kind of creature it is, I don't want to fall into their mouth! Live, live!

I took deep breaths several times and tried to calm down. We were still about eight meters away from the other side, so hold on!

Little by little, I moved my hands that were clinging to the edge of the overpass. The weight of my body and the uneven edge caused the palms to bear an unusually exaggerated pressure. The freezing temperatures brought by the cold weather made the hands even worse. It was not obvious at first.

But slowly the pain became more and more clear.

I didn't expect that the pain would already be so severe after moving only a few meters.

My hands seemed to be almost unconscious, and the idea of ​​letting go of my hands kept swirling in my mind. But I didn't want to, I didn't want to, if I let go here, everything would be over, I didn't want to fall, I didn't want to die.

I'm betting on the willpower I've developed in my life before this! Hold on, me!!

Hold on, hold on! Just hold on there!



In a short period of time, it felt as long and painful as several hours had passed.

When I climbed up to the opposite shore, even though it was a very cold day, I was still soaked to the skin. Soaked with sweat, my physical strength felt exhausted. My fingers and palms were red, even with a faint purple tint, as if I didn't belong there.

Just like myself.

But I did it, I'm here!

There were no cheers to celebrate success, only the cry of the cold wind and the silent streets. The sky was still desolate and dull, making people uneasy.

My cell phone is gone, the food in my backpack has been consumed and thrown away together with the backpack. I am now covered in bruises, cold and tired, and I had to give up my bat because I was crossing the bridge.

In the end, the bat played no role other than boosting courage.

Now there is really nothing but the wallet in my pocket.

Even so, I must do everything possible to survive.

"Wait for me, I'll be here soon, the southern evacuation point!"
