"Boom." There was a deafening bang, and before I could turn around, I felt the sand all over the sky hit my back with great force.
My whole body flew into the air, rolling and flying towards the distance.
Just when I was dizzy, I saw a huge green tree appearing in the small town. The trunk was a big green tree, and it was growing continuously.
The entire town has completely disappeared.
"Pa" I fell heavily on the sand, and it took me a long time to relax before I stood up.
I don't know how far away I am from the small town, but I'm still under the shade of the trees, and I can't see the end at all from a distance.
God, what a big tree, but what a pity it brings not blessings, but destruction.
I looked at the big tree for a long time before walking in the opposite direction of the big tree.
No matter what, I have to go on, I want to leave the endless hell, I want to find Po Meng, and I want to completely destroy the Twin Holy Towers.
People often say that we don't know the years in the prehistoric times, but in fact, there is still no concept of time in Hell.
Among the identical sand dunes around, there seemed to be no concept of space.
I only know how to walk, forget about pain, hunger, thirst, and fatigue, and just move forward mechanically.
On the way, I met many people again. Some people move forward with perseverance, while others move forward with confusion.
When I took a break, I even sat on someone's body. I was not surprised, because I didn't even have the energy to be surprised.
The man just glanced at me indifferently, and after I moved away, he continued to close his eyes and let the sand bury him.
I asked him curiously why he did this. He didn't want to answer at first, but he didn't tell me until he was annoyed by my questioning that he was just enjoying life.
What he said puzzled me so much that I even thought I had met an expert.
But after the exchange, he realized that he can only enjoy life now, because he has nothing else.
Persistence, courage, hope, memories...all are gone.
He is still alive, but it is no different from being dead. The only thing he can do is to enjoy life.
I left quickly, and I was afraid that in the endless walk, one day I would become like him.
The journey is still going on, I don't even have hope, I don't think about whether there will be a turning point tomorrow, and I don't want to beg for something good to happen, just persist.
And persistence, let me finally get rewarded.
When I saw the tall city wall in front of me, my first reaction was that I had begun to hallucinate.
But when I passed countless people and touched the cold city wall with my hands, I finally understood that this was not an illusion.
My thoughts returned to me again, I resisted the urge to cry, leaned on the wall, and slowly knelt down on the ground.
After a long, long time, I stood up and looked for the city gate.
But as I moved forward, my steps gradually slowed down.
There are many people around, especially at the gate of the city, where countless people are sitting or standing.
In contrast, there were very few people in the wide city gate.
I was looking at the city gate in surprise, when an old voice sounded beside me: "You want to enter the city."
At the moment when the sound came out, I felt countless eyes around me gathered on me.
Although I don't know why, I hastily denied it: "I won't go in."
As soon as my words fell, the eager eyes around me instantly cooled down.
I looked at the speaker warily, and I was stunned with just one glance.
The voice was very old, but the speaker was only a girl in her 20s, her long hair was already knotted, her body was covered with sand, and her face had an expression that did not match her age.
The protruding breasts let me see that it was a girl.
Looking at my vigilant eyes, the girl just smiled: "Come on, sit down."
The girl moved around to make room for me.
I sat down as promised, and then asked, "Can you tell me something?"
The girl smiled: "What do you want to know?"
I smiled, and the girl continued: "Don't worry, everyone is the most kind here, because no one knows when they will ask each other."
I was puzzled in my heart, but on the surface I didn't look on, and didn't answer.
The girl smiled again: "What I said is true. You should be here for the first time. This is the only city in Infernal Hell. There are restaurants, inns, and many, many things in it."
"Then why don't you go in?" I finally couldn't help but speak.
"Go in, hehe, we all want to go in, but none of us want to go in."
"Why?"
"Because once you enter the Lost City, you can only stay there for 12 hours. After 12 hours, you will be sent out. No one knows whether you will have a chance to find the Lost City again next time."
"The Lost City?" I repeated, and then asked curiously, "Since none of you are willing to go in, why are you still outside?"
There was a wry smile on the girl's face: "Otherwise, where else can I go? At least there is hope here. Do you know why those people looked at you like that just now?"
I shake my head.
The girl continued: "Because everyone hopes that you can go to the city and bring them what they need. This thing may be a roast chicken, or a jug of wine. Don't worry, they are willing to exchange anything. .”
I nodded, I've figured it out.
This is the Lost City, a city that can only be stayed for 12 hours, and everyone is waiting with hope, but this hope seems a bit ridiculous.
Is it really ridiculous? For a person who has endured hunger and thirst anytime and anywhere for countless years, being able to eat a full meal and drink a sip of water may be the greatest happiness.
Even I am tempted now.
The girl looked at me and asked, "How is it? Do you want to go in? If so, bring me something. Don't worry, you can ask for anything."
As she spoke, the girl stretched out her hand to lift one side of her long hair, and wiped her sandy face.
I didn't think there was anything wrong with the girl, I just nodded: "If I want to go in, I'll bring you something for free."
The girl was taken aback for a moment, and then she showed a sweet smile: "Thank you."
I smiled, and then asked, "How can there be cities in the Infernal Hell?"
The girl's eyes became a little distant: "Maybe give me a hope."
The girl smiled and shook her head and added: "After all, it is said that this is a place where one can leave the endless hell."
Surprised in my heart, I hurriedly asked, "Leave the Infernal Hell?"
The girl laughed loudly: "I knew it, I knew it, you will definitely ask."
I was a little anxious, but I didn't want to interrupt the girl's laughter, because I was worried that this was just a prank on her part.
It took a long time for the girl to recover, and said: "I didn't lie to you, the legend is true, but no one can leave."
I frowned: "No, I know two people have left."
The eyes of the surroundings gathered on me again, the eyes were so hot that they seemed to melt me, even the girl's eyes had changed, her body leaned forward slightly, trembling.
