...In the darkness, the back of Lin Sanjiu's head was hurt by something that had been hurting for quite a long time. She was very sleepy and unwilling to move, so she just turned over in a daze.
The next second, she suddenly sat up from her dream, gasping for air.
Lin Sanjiu looked down at her trembling hands - dead? Am I dead? Everyone is dead? - She turned around blankly and found that Martha and Lu Ze were sleeping side by side on the ground not far away.
The two frowned, as if they were having a nightmare. Although they still hadn't woken up, the rising and falling of their chests proved that they were still alive and well.
So, was it a dream just now...? Lin Sanjiu got up from the ground, still feeling that his hands and feet were cold and his whole body was weak. The moment he died, the moment all his bones and internal organs were crushed, he slipped into
The moment she entered the endless darkness, the pain that was almost unreal... She shivered fiercely, were these all dreams?
She climbed up, opened the car door, and stepped out of the car. She urgently needed to breathe some fresh air to clear her head...
As soon as I stepped on the ground outside the car, a harsh "You are my little apple" suddenly rang out, tearing through the night.
Lin Sanjiu's body paused. He heard it again, just like last time... No, it should be said that it was like in a dream.
The noisy ringtone did not ring for as long as in the dream. Instead, it was quickly cut off after only two sentences.
The night returned to the dead silence it had before.
Lin Sanjiu remained motionless, staring quietly in the direction of Citroën.
After quite a while, the field mouse still didn't come out to wake them up.
Just when she was a little impatient and planned to walk over to take a look, she heard a low exclamation in the bus, and then Mather shouted: "Lu Ze! Xiaojiu!"
Lin Sanjiu hurriedly rushed back to the carriage. At this moment, Lu Ze also took a sharp breath of air, woke up, and sat up. The three people's eyes suddenly met in the air, and then they realized that...
Everyone else's faces were as white as snow.
"I dreamed that we (we) were all dead!"
Almost as soon as their eyes met, the three people spoke in unison.
"Eh...what's going on?" Lu Ze was the first to react, "You also dreamed that you were dead?"
"It's not just me..." Lin Sanjiu said with a gloomy face, "I dreamed that all four of us were dead. Please tell us about your dream first!"
Just like the sequence of death, Lu Ze was the first to speak: "The dream just now was too real, wasn't it? I dreamed that we were driving to the factory area, and suddenly a fallen species fell off the roof of the car.
It shattered the glass on the other side, all at once, all at once... it gave me a belly..."
He looked pale and could hardly speak.
"Huh? How could this happen? In my dream, you were attacked by the fallen species. As a result, your truck turned and I hit it..." Mather's face was frightened, and her light brown eyes widened.
Pupil, staring at Lu Ze. "As a result, I was seriously injured. When I was climbing out of the driver's seat with difficulty, then——"
"Then there was an explosion, and you died too." When Lin Sanjiu interrupted, she felt like she was covered in cold sweat.
"How did you know?"
"Because when all this happened, I was on the side..." Lin Sanjiu closed her eyes, as if she had returned to that moment again: "After you guys died, my truck rushed back and crushed Tian and I to death.
Rat...it's like God is just playing tricks and killed us all like this!"
"What, what's going on...our dreams are connected?" Lu Ze muttered to himself.
Mather and Lin Sanjiu frowned and had nothing to say for a moment. Just when the atmosphere between them was tense, a field mouse's voice sounded from the car door: "...Is everyone up?"
Not sure if it was an illusion, but Lin Sanjiu felt that there was a hint of tremor in his voice.
Did he also have the same dream?
As if to confirm the thoughts of the three people, the field mouse put his head in nervously and said: "I want to tell you something, don't scold me. I just... dreamed that all of us were dead. Don't scold me.
It’s unlucky, but we have to be careful today, that dream is too realistic! Hey, what’s wrong with you, why are you looking at me like this?”
Lin Sanjiu felt like she had a splitting headache. She waved to the field mouse and said, "We are too... Come in, it seems we have to take care of this matter."
The field mouse said "Oh" and hurriedly got into the car. The four of them sat in a circle.
...Things seemed very clear. The four people experienced a dream together for some unknown reason - and what was surprising was that although the time of death was earlier than later, the details in each person's dream matched up perfectly.
.
For example, the bang that Mather heard was probably made by the fallen species that killed Lu Ze - that fallen species should have run all the way from the roof of the bus to the roof of the truck, and then launched a attack on Lu Ze
The attack - even Lin Sanjiu was hungry and ate a cookie in the middle, or the joke the field mouse told Lu Ze, every point was confirmed by each other.
Listening to the heated discussion between the three people, Lin Sanjiu, who was puzzled, raised his head sadly, exhaled, and then froze.
"etc……!"
"What's wrong?" The three people looked at her in confusion. "What do you think?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Sanjiu asked a completely irrelevant question: "Mother, which route does this bus come from?"
Mather thought for a while: "It seems to be either 89 or 90. I can't remember, but it should be about the same."
"...Look." Lin Sanjiu pointed at the circuit map hanging above the drop-off door.
The stop signs on the route map have all disappeared, and the only thing left is a big, bright red "2".
"I remember wrong? Is this the No. 2 bus?" Mather glanced at Lin Sanjiu in confusion, "But is this important, Xiaojiu?"
Lin Sanjiu stared at the word "2" for a long time, then suddenly jumped up and cursed: "I x!"
"What happened?" the other three people asked one after another.
"I thought this thing looked familiar! I remembered it!" Lin Sanjiu said while feeling a patch of hair stand up on the back of his neck. "I...I also saw this in my dream just now.
Something. The only difference is that in the 'dream' it shows 3 instead of 2."
She glanced at the faces of the three people one by one, and emphasized her tone: "I have been in this city for several years, and I have never seen anything like this! All buses should have route maps hanging here!
In other words, this number only came later!”
Mather suddenly thought of something and made a sound, covering her mouth.
Lin Sanjiu's solemn voice seemed to weigh a thousand pounds: "Don't you understand yet? This means that either we are in a dream right now, or the matter of death is not a dream at all!"
Lu Ze pinched his arm subconsciously and reacted. "I am 100% sure that I am not in the dream now... It's strange. If we all really died once, how can we still be fine now?
"
Lin Sanjiu was about to speak, but his attention was attracted by the field mouse's deep voice.
"It's a number... The first time it was 3, we died, and then it became 2... Is this counting down? In other words, we still have two chances."
This was the first time Lin Sanjiu had seen Vole like this since the four of them had been together. He lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, but for some reason, the atmosphere around him had an indescribable feeling...
She took a deep breath and said, "Actually, I think so too."
The air froze once again, and everyone fell into deep thought.
"Does this thing have a time limit?" Lu Ze crossed his arms and broke the silence first: "If there is, wouldn't it be good if we just sit here and wait for its time limit to pass safely before we go on the road?"
Mather sighed: "I'm afraid it won't be that simple, right? Speaking of which, what exactly is this... Why does this happen..."
Before Mather could finish her emotion, the field mouse suddenly interjected, with a surprisingly firm tone: "I think sitting here is definitely not possible. Who knows if there is a time limit for this? If you keep waiting, will something else happen?
Things? These are all unknown. However, the dangers that will arise on the road we walked last time are already clear... So I think it is better for us to be careful this time. "
Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but glance at the field mouse again.
No matter how many fallen species you kill, or what kind of dangerous situations you escape from, one thing is self-evident nonsense: No one alive has ever died.
However, just now, Lin Sanjiu experienced a death - a real death, in which both body and mind disappeared. The impact of death was unlike anything else in the world: it was the birth of human beings from the moment they were born.
The dark cloud hanging over our heads from the beginning is the ultimate terror that all wise men cannot avoid.
Even now when he thinks back to the moment of his death, Lin Sanjiu can't help but tremble.
But Field Mouse was able to analyze the situation so calmly... She couldn't help but praise: "Vole, I really can't believe that you can still be so calm after going through something like that."
The field mouse who was praised by her immediately returned to his normal appearance, smiling a little glibly and said: "Hey, a little person like me has a cheap life. I have earned my life to live so far. How can I be fragile?"
?”
Lin Sanjiu withdrew his gaze and said nothing.
The field mouse's words quickly convinced everyone. After discussing for a while, they all quickly reached a consensus: this time, just follow the field mouse's words and set out with extra caution. Since they were already prepared, how many people wanted to come this time?
