"Although it's a pity, but now, we are the so-called 'real event'," Lu Chu smiled, "and no one should want to adapt it."
Song Gui shrugged: "This is really not something to be happy about."
Yuan Kejie took out a bag of biscuits, threw a piece into her mouth, chewed and said, "To be honest, if I go back alive, I will definitely adapt our glorious deeds into a novel, and then adapt it into a movie, which will last forever."
Song Gui raised his eyebrows: "Where can I go back alive?"
Yuan Kejie ate another biscuit before continuing, "Where did I come from, of course I'm going back."
Lu Chu raised his eyes and looked in 7's direction. 7, who was standing on the outside leaning against the tree trunk to guard his surroundings, seemed to have sensed something. He turned his head, looked at Lu Chu in the night, and nodded slightly towards him. This kind of meeting of eyes and small movements that seem to be affirmative are the unique tacit understanding between them, so natural and reassuring.
It is almost impossible for Lu Chu to go back to where he came from.
Because the peaceful and peaceful town he was familiar with was actually just a mirage existing in an illusion, it was undergoing the destruction and reincarnation endowed by the "rules", like a flashy dream, the moment the dream collapsed, all Beauty and tranquility will no longer exist, irretrievably.
Lu Chu knew that he had long since lost his origin, and he didn't know the way back.
For a long time, Lu Chu has avoided imagining the question of where he will go after this seemingly endless puzzle is completely over. Perhaps the motivation for others to live is to return to their original world, where they have their families, friends, enemies, a familiar atmosphere, people and things they like or dislike. Right or wrong, joy or sorrow, are all real.
For Lu Chu, finding out the truth behind the "rules" and "games" is his goal.
Looking at Qi's firm eyes now, Lu Chu suddenly had a vague answer to the matter of "what will happen after everything is over" that he had never thought about. Emotions are like rippling clear lake water, leaving a trace of warmth and itching in the heart.
This feeling may be hope.
Thinking of this, he gave 7 a shallow smile.
On the other side, Yuan Kejie had already started to imagine a bright future. Song Gui and the others all showed expressions of lack of interest after listening to it for a while. After another moment, Luo Qi stood up first. She looked around, then silently climbed up a nearby tree, closed her eyes and rested. Qian Zhen, on the other hand, ate the food that was given to him, and after filling his stomach, he walked to the side without saying a word and sat down by the tree, squinting his eyes and resting his mind.
Seeing this, Song Gui laughed a few times without shame, ignored Yuan Kejie's eloquent speech, and said to Lu Chu: "Lu Xiaochu, let's take a rest too."
Yuan Kejie threw a stone on Song Gui's back in anger, and sighed in a melancholy tone, "You mortals." Then he stopped talking, quickly added food, and found a flat place to sit down to recover his strength.
Lu Chu looked at the people around him, and suddenly felt that this might be a very good story.
———
Lu Chu walked to 7, found a place to sit down, and leaned against the tree trunk.
7 didn't need to rest, he just stood against the tree trunk, guarding Lu Chu's side, while guarding the direction of the giant tree.
Those many-handed monsters seem to have no weaknesses. They were already so powerful when they were just skeletons. Now I don’t know what magical power they have used to make them have flesh and blood. They look more ferocious and stronger than before. Ugly and appalling.
Lu Chu closed his eyes and said in a low voice: "After we have a short rest, we may have to leave here immediately, and the alien skeletons may chase us at any time."
Several other people either nodded or responded softly, and then did not make any more noises, and each took a rest.
The night was slightly cool, the moonlight was as white as water, and a barely noticeable breeze blew through Lu Chu's hair that hung down. Lu Chu frowned slightly, opened his eyes, and straightened up.
He looked warily in the direction they had come from.
The others who were resting with their eyes closed noticed Lu Chu's strange movement and immediately opened their eyes.
7 Standing in front of Lu Chu, Song Zhizhi asked cautiously, "Are you here?"
What this "coming" refers to, they all know in their hearts. In order to confirm, Lu Chu closed his eyes and listened to Xu for a while, then he immediately put his backpack on his back, and said to the others: "Let's run, they are rushing here."
After the words fell, Lu Chu pointed in a direction.
Hearing this, everyone quickly picked up their backpacks and ran towards the direction Lu Chu pointed at.
Song Gui shook his head and sighed, "Hey, I've been running all day today."
"Who do you think is to blame?!" Luo Qi rolled her eyes, "If you have the ability to throw five points, if you have the ability, go and find their weaknesses now."
Song Gui waved his hand: "Don't dare."
Lu Chudao: "Listen to the sound. There will be a river ahead in a while. I don't know the width at present, but this direction is the safest, so we have to swim across it. Is there anyone who can't swim?"
Luo Qi nodded: "I will."
Song Gui: "I will too."
Several others gave affirmative answers in turn.
"Very good," Lu Chu nodded with a modest smile, "I won't."
Song Gui staggered and almost fell, and the others suddenly looked in Lu Chu's direction with shocked expressions.
Yuan Kejie opened her mouth: "This... what should I do?"
Lu Chu remained calm: "Sorry, I will learn as soon as possible."
When he couldn't see, he couldn't learn to swim, and he never had the opportunity to learn. The last round of 7 taught him a lot. However, due to the "rules" restricting the range of activities, they could only move within the school range, and there was no swimming pool in the school in that round, so he did not light up this skill.
It seems that it is better to learn quickly.
Luo Qi, who was running at the front, heard the words: "Is this the point?"
Song Rule kept thinking about the countermeasures in his mind.
At this time, 7 said faintly: "Don't worry, I will take him there."
"No." Song Gui frowned and looked at 7, "The river must be very cold at this time, and the degree of turbulence of the current is unclear. We also ran for a long time just now, and our physical strength was exhausted. It is very dangerous for you to take a person across the river. "
After Song Gui finished speaking, he looked at Lu Chu and asked for his opinion.
"That's the only way, and—" Lu Chu gave Song Gui a reassuring look, and his tone was full of trust, "I believe in Qi Li."
7 Hearing this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Song Gui heard that, although he still had some doubts in his heart, he still chose to believe in Lu Chu's judgment, because he knew that Lu Chu was different.
And every single one of them was different.
Thinking of this, Song Gui stared sideways at Lu Chu for a moment, and his actions were all taken into consideration by 7.
As time progressed, several people other than Lu Chu gradually heard the sound of the rushing river. At the same time, there was an unignorable vibration of the ground behind them, as if some huge monster was closely following them.
The feeling of oppression is suffocating.
In the process of getting closer to the river, 7 approached Lu Chu and held his hand.
