In Qu Yan's dream, there was a purgatory on earth.
High-rise buildings fell one after another, dust filled the sky, and countless residents ran and fled. They cried, shouted, and struggled, but to no avail. The ground began to vibrate violently, cracking countless gaps, and the magma underneath rolled, and countless evil-looking ghosts slowed down from inside. Crawled out slowly and devoured humans.
Blood, blood everywhere...
The ground was full of stumps and pieces of internal organs, and the crimson magma began to spew out, burning the soul to ashes.
Qu Yan was right in the middle of the crowd, not dodging or dodging, letting the magma devour his own blood. He covered his face with his hands and watched the world crumble a little from the gap with dark, distorted eyes, and then let out a low laugh, sickly. into the bone.
Before the demon awakened, no one knew that he was a demon.
Before that, he didn't drink blood, because he didn't know the taste of blood.
A humiliated lowly one dies, and another, more terrifying demon, will awake.
He devoured the world, and he devoured himself.
At that moment, this city, this world, lost all its color, the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder smoke and rust, the heat wave was rolling, and just as the last ray of dawn in the sky was about to dissipate, it suddenly rained.
The dense rain is soft and weak, but if it has color, it should be blue, like a corner of the sky washed by water.
The light in the warehouse was still dim, Qu Yan breathed heavily for a moment, and then woke up in an instant. He lifted his heavy eyelids, and there was nothing in his vision. After a long time, he focused again. Light mint flavor, mixed with tobacco smoke, it smells very good.
It's so comfortable, you don't even want to wake up...
Qu Yan closed his eyes and opened them again. This time, he could clearly see a book hanging above his head, with a pure black cover and two small white characters—
"Alive"
Qu Yan recognized that this was his own book. He moved his fingertips, and then quietly grasped the page with his fingernails. The white paper was stained with blood.
Pei Ran was fascinated by what he saw, and was taken aback. When he realized that Qu Yan might be awake, he habitually moved the book away, and was taken aback by the half of his face.
The wound was too deep, and despite the medicine, it was still a bit terrifying. Compared with the other half of the face, it was a world of difference.
Pei Ran suddenly felt a little pity, like a flawless jade article that was exquisite and unstained from dust, it was abruptly cracked, and it made people feel regretful when they saw it.
"woke up?"
Pei Ran put the book away and put it aside. The exhaust fan was still turning, dividing the blood-colored sky outside into pieces. Only through the watch on his wrist, he could vaguely recognize that it was the next morning. .
Qu Yan moved his chapped lips silently, as if he wanted to say something, but because of yesterday's high fever, he couldn't utter a word. He looked at the exhaust fan, the blood-red sky outside was reflected in his eyes, and his pupils were strangely brighter. But in an instant, it was silent, and the almost terrifying emotion was restrained.
Pei Ran thought he was hungry, so he put a hand through the back of Qu Yan's neck, lifted him halfway up and leaned on his shoulder, then took out a bottle of water from his bag and fed it to him with a bottle cap.
Zhou Cangming watched from the side, probably feeling that Pei Ran was hypocritical. He tapped the ground repeatedly with the iron pipe in his hand, secretly plotting something unknown.
There are still more than half bags of chocolate biscuits left in the bag. I don't know what brand they are. They are sweet and greasy, and my throat is sore. He fed it to Qu Yan without hesitation.
The youth's facial features are as delicate and timeless as ink paintings, but there is always a lingering gloomy feeling on his body. Qu Yan didn't eat the food that was handed to his mouth. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at him with that dark gaze. After a while, he moved his lips and spit out three broken words: "Why..."
Husky outrageous.
Pei Ran was slightly startled when he heard the words, but before he could answer, Zhou Cangming interjected in a strange tone of yin and yang, "Why? Have you been raised so that you can know easily?"
There was a malicious smile on his face.
Pei Ran smiled when he heard the words but not a smile, then looked down at Qu Yan in his arms, looked at him calmly, continued to pass the biscuits to his mouth, and lengthened his voice: "Well, keep it up x Get up and feel energetic, so you'd better eat quickly."
Pei Ran was also a playboy in his last life, and he had a bad taste in his bones. He thought that according to Qu Yan's ruthlessness yesterday, he should knock off his hand with a snap, and would rather starve to death...
"Crack-"
A slight crackling sound of biscuits sounded, and Qu Yan actually ate the food in Pei Ran's hands without saying a word. In just one night, there was an earth-shaking change in his eyes, like an endless abyss, which made people unable to see. in the end.
Qu Yan lowered his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, but it was not difficult to see the intense desire to survive from his gobbling movements. Pei Ran saw his fair face bulging slightly, like a hamster, and suddenly felt strange. Interestingly, he patiently continued to hand him the biscuits to his lips.
Qu Yan didn't move after eating half of it.
Pei Ran said: "Eat it, it's almost expired anyway."
Qu Yan looked at him, but saw that Pei Ran's expression was warm and languid. There was not too much trouble or gloom in his eyes. It was very abrupt and abrupt... He should not stay in this purgatory-like world.
When Qu Yan eats, there is always a ruthlessness on his face, his face is expressionless, his eyes are lowered, and he chews calmly. The wounds on the side of the face collapsed.
Pei Ran was too lazy to move his butt, so he threw away the empty biscuit bag in his hand, not nervous about running out of food, then patted his thigh and motioned for Qu Yan to lie down.
The young man didn't seem to care about anything now, he was silent, and lay back in the embrace with the faint mint scent, closed his eyes and said nothing, as if now Pei Ran was going to take off his clothes and do it in front of everyone. Anything that is too presumptuous will not be half-reacted.
But Pei Ran just took off two more anti-inflammatory capsules and sprinkled the powder on his face, with meticulous movements and the same gentleness as his face.
Qu Yan opened his eyes and closed them without a trace, no one knew what he was thinking.
Pei Ran finished giving him the medicine, and wanted him to get up, but when he saw Qu Yan shrinking into a ball, he was too tired to speak, so he could only maintain such an awkward posture, and then continued to read the book he had not finished. .
A ray of crimson light slanted on the page, and a line of bold characters was clearly marked, covered with a shallow layer of blood: people live for living itself, not for anything other than living.
Amidst the dust, someone's stomach grumbled and made a hungry sound. Zhou Cangming looked around and found no one. He stood up from the ground, holding a long iron pipe in his hand, like a leader. Like the others, pacing back and forth in the center field.
"The supplies have been exhausted, so we can't sit still. It's been so long, the sky outside is still red, and 80% won't change. I'm familiar with this place. Materials, we should start with the strongest."
What he said made sense, because as soon as he said this, the bodyguard Feng Tang stood up, obviously planning to go out to find supplies, and the two bad boys, inexplicably appeared to be crowded.
Seeing this, Zhou Cangming nodded with satisfaction: "There is a van outside. I found the keys upstairs yesterday, and there is gasoline in it. It's enough for us to pass, so let's go, the woman stays and the man goes out to find supplies."
The girl named Zhizhi grabbed her boyfriend's arm nervously, frowning and shaking her head: "Sang Yan, don't go, it's dangerous outside."
Sang Yan patted her hand comfortingly, then stood up from the ground and agreed to this proposal.
The only one who didn't respond was probably Pei Ran. He sat on the ground and covered his face with the whole book, trying to escape the "disaster" caused by Zhou Cangming. Who would have guessed that Feng Tang would wrinkle before Zhou Cangming got into trouble. Frowning: "Pei Shao, aren't you going to go out to find supplies?"
Looking for supplies
Looking for supplies or sending heads
In a state of extreme fear, Pei Ran, the war five scum, did not burst out with an astonishing desire to survive like others, but his hands were shaking, his legs were weak, his strength was instantly exhausted, and he couldn't walk half a step like mud. , the result is to lie down and die.
Moreover, he did not think that any of these people in front of him would be willing to save himself at the juncture of life and death.
Seeing that Pei Ran didn't speak, Feng Tang raised his hand and took away the book in front of him. A small movement showed the shaky state of the employment relationship.
"Don't go."
Pei Ran raised his head, with three words written in his eyes—
Butterfly.
Feng Tang: "..."
Zhou Cangming still coveted the gun on Pei Ran's body, and when he heard this, he glanced around him, unexpectedly, smiled: "It's okay if you don't go, so let me use your gun, it counts as well. You have contributed a part, and the materials have your share."
The implication is that if there is no effort, there will be no supplies. The woman who has been sitting quietly in the corner finally raised her head in horror.
Zhou Cangming is being polite now, one is because Pei Ran has a gun in his hand, and the other is because Feng Tang has not shown a clear direction to stand in the line. Under the circumstance that Feng Tang already has some troubles, the gun cannot be given.
Because that's a toy gun.
Pei Ran lit a cigarette, and when he was in the room, he could faintly hear the roar of zombies outside. He exhaled a mouthful of smoke and shook his head: "The gun is out of bullets."
What he said was the truth, but Zhou Cangming would definitely not believe it. He only felt that Pei Ran was looking for a story, he lowered his face slightly, and said coldly, "Then the materials we retrieved will not be yours."
Pei Ran has never experienced true hunger, nor has he experienced the beatings of the last days. In his opinion, starving for two meals is not a big deal. In his last life, he lay at home, his biological clock was reversed, and he was playing games for up to two days. Nothing to eat, relax.
He was about to say that if there is no, there is no, but at this moment, a broken and hoarse voice suddenly sounded in everyone's ears: "I'll go."
Qu Yan got up from Pei Ran, and his steps were a little staggering. I don't know if it was because of the food he had eaten. He didn't look as weak as yesterday. Mang, his lips were still a little pale, and he repeated: "I'll go."
Pei Ran was facing his intact profile. From this angle, Qu Yan was thin, with a high nose and a straight bone. If he went to college and wore a clean white shirt, he would have been taught by his senior. The younger sister is immediately regarded as the type of male god.
Zhou Cangming looked sarcastic and asked contemptuously, "Are you going too?"
After speaking, he said: "Okay, anyway, he is a man, better than those who didn't go."
Pei Ran heard that he was referring to Sang and scolding Huai, but he didn't care. He just thought that Qu Yan was weak, so don't be pushed out to feed the zombies on the way, but the protagonist should not die. After hesitating, Pei Ran said to Feng Tang: " Help take care of it."
This is my gold master father, can't die.
Feng Tang nodded as an answer.
After Pei Ran finished speaking, he looked at Qu Yan again. Who would have thought that he would meet the eyes of the other party, and he would not stop others from making progress. After all, the protagonist had to go through hardships to level up. Yi Pei Ran didn't stop him, he just said, "Be careful on the road."
Then he took the book just now and continued to read it. Qu Yan looked down from above and could only see the top of his dark hair.
Sang Yan was reluctant to move, looked at Pei Ran and said, "We're leaving, aren't you the only man left here?"
Pei Ran understood, he was worried that his beautiful girlfriend would be forced to bow by his playboy overlord, turned the pages of the book, and said without raising his head: "You can take your girlfriend with you."
Zhizhi's face flushed red.
Sang Yan also looked constipated, and there were zombies outside, how could he take his girlfriend out for an adventure.
Seeing that they didn't leave, Pei Ran raised his eyelids impatiently and said, "I'm gay and don't like women, so be satisfied."
The atmosphere in the room was awkward for a moment. Hearing this, Sang Yan subconsciously looked at Qu Yan, but saw the latter's expressionless face and no emotion on his face. He touched his nose and believed 70% to 80% in his heart, so he was with Zhou Cangming and the others. Leave.
When they walked on the front foot, Pei Ran raised his head on the back foot.
Although Qu Yan is the protagonist in the book, he is already blackened in his bones. In the later stage, he kills monsters and upgrades to accept girls. His strength is against the sky. After he established a survivor base in the south, he even became a high-level leader. Although his behavior is no different from normal people , but Pei Ran clearly remembered that there was a sentence in the original book that summed up his situation—
"The world has never given him any kindness, and Qu Yan has never regarded human beings as his kin. He used kindness to disguise himself, like a demon, wandering around in the world."
In other words, this protagonist, in fact... may be the villain, so is it useful or useless to hug his golden thighs
Pei Ran no longer remembered what was written in the novel. He only vaguely remembered some general content. After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't remember it. He probably remembered that it was supernatural powers.
After the outbreak of the apocalypse, zombie viruses are raging all over the world, and things are competing for natural selection. Human beings are also evolving to adapt to this world. Among them, some people will suddenly develop a high fever. In the past, it turned into a zombie.
Lightning, Plant, Water, Fire, Ice, Gold, Wood, Spirit, Space, these are the currently known types of abilities.
The most aggressive is the thunder and lightning type, the most mysterious is the spiritual type, and the one that gives people the most sense of security is probably the space type.
Pei Ran has never had a fever so far. To a certain extent, it seems unlikely that he will activate his supernatural powers. If he insists on taking a gamble, he will probably only go out and let the zombies take a bite.
If you hold on to it, you have the ability, but if you can't hold on, you will become one of those monsters outside.
To test whether Qu Yan's golden thigh can be hugged, it's very simple, just see if he is willing to divide his supplies when he comes back today, and that's it.
Pei Ran could only starve.
He had books to read, and it was quite easy to pass the time, while Zhizhi and the woman seemed to be restless. The two of them were talking in low voices, and their voices faintly drifted to Pei Ran's ears.
The woman's enthusiasm was almost: "Girl, how old are you, you look so handsome."
Zhizhi said embarrassedly, "You can just call me Zhizhi."
The woman said again: "I'm only thirty-five this year, you can call me Sister Wang, my man died at the hands of those monsters outside, and I'm the only one left alone, and there is no one to take care of me, not like you. How good is your boyfriend to you, and he is willing to go out to find supplies..."
Zhizhi probably understood what she meant, turned around quietly, looked outside through the transom, and changed the subject: "They've been out for so long, why haven't they come back?"
It was indeed a long time out, about six hours.
Pei Ran had already finished reading the whole book, he glanced at his watch, turned back to the first page, and continued to read, as if he was not in a hurry.
As time passed by, Zhizhi was already a little anxious. She walked carefully to Pei Ran and asked tentatively, "What time is it now?"
Pei Ran glanced at his wrist: "Five o'clock in the afternoon."
Zhizhi's anxiety deepened: "What time did they go out?"
Pei Ran: "Nine o'clock in the morning."
Zhizhi's face suddenly turned pale, as if she was exhausted, she sat on the ground with a thud.
Pei Ran comforted without sincerity: "Nothing can happen, Feng Tang is here, he retired from the army."
As if to confirm his words, there was a faint roar of cars outside, and after a while, a clutter of footsteps approached, and then the warehouse door was slammed open, and it was Zhou Cangming and the others.
Zhizhi ignored the heavy expressions on their faces, covered her mouth and threw herself into Sang Yan's arms, tears almost falling: "Why did you come back! It scared me to death woo woo..."
Sang Yan hugged Zhizhi tightly without saying a word. Each of them was carrying a bag containing the distributed supplies. Pei Ran raised his eyes and saw that Qu Yan was fine, so he felt relieved, but then he Found something wrong-
One person is missing from the team.
That spiky-haired bad boy didn't come back.
As if aware of Pei Ran's gaze, Feng Tang walked over, sat down in his seat, wiped off the unknown blood on his arm with a rag, and said solemnly, "We encountered a group of zombies, and the child didn't run away. , was eaten."
Zhizhi's face turned pale.
Pei Ran didn't respond. In the end of the world, it's normal for dead people to be dead. Besides, he's not familiar with that spiky head.
After a long day, everyone was hungry, each sat in their own seat and started to eat. The woman looked left and right, and saw that no one wanted to give her food, her face was a little ugly.
Feng Tang showed no signs of dividing the food, but fortunately, Pei Ran was not too hungry. He sat on the ground and played with paper planes. He was having a great time playing. He suddenly felt his thighs sink. The man put a tin and a packet of cookies.
Pei Ran's hand loosened, and the plane fell leisurely, landing right in front of Qu Yan. The latter paused slightly when he took the food, opened the paper plane, and found that it was his own test paper, the one with full marks.
Seeing Shang Qu Yan's dark gaze, Pei Ran shamelessly gave him a thumbs up, and said with a smile, "Your grades are pretty good."
At the same time, I was moved with tears in my heart. I only said that this thigh is really not in vain. Isn't it enough to eat and drink? Even more determined to follow Qu Yan.
Pei Ran doesn't like to eat low-quality food, but canned fruit is acceptable. Unexpectedly, when he was about to open the lid, he felt a pain and numbness like an electric shock, and at the same time, a cold and cheap machine sound sounded in his mind. .
