Lu Chu can imagine how chaotic it was on the first day when the whole city lost consciousness, but now, seven days later, standing not far from the crossroads, only the wind blowing over the flying paper and plastic bags on the ground is depressed. sound. Occasionally, there was a "rustling" sound made by clothes rubbing against each other. Lu Chu held his breath and carefully discerned. A little farther away, there were faint and heavy roars of many people, occasionally interspersed with a sharp cry.
Presumably there are many "uninspired people" at the intersection that is blocked by vehicles.
Lu Chu guessed that after a short period of panic, people who just lost their vision would follow human instincts, grope for a place to hide, and then try their best to find food, water, and other things within the limit of ensuring their own safety. necessity.
Then those who wander outside are most likely to lose both senses, or even lose more senses and more people. The more senses they lose, the less ability to survive. If they don't have family and friends, they will probably wander around in this way, ignorant.
But what is surprising is that among the people Lu Chu has come into contact with so far, there is no one who is unable to speak.
Holding the man's hand tightly, Lu Chu didn't dare to relax in the slightest. Following the map of the town rooted in his mind, after several twists and turns, Lu Chu walked into a path that few people would pass by.
The journey went smoothly, Lu Chu walked cautiously, and there were occasional obstacles, but they could be easily bypassed. When he was about to walk out of this path and reached the end of the intersection, Lu Chu stopped.
—Be careful for a while, when walking this road, I will pinch your fingers, index finger left, ring finger right, middle finger forward, if you want to back, I will pinch your palm.
-it is good.
——
"Creak creak—"
The subtle sounds made by each step are amplified to the maximum under such extreme vigilance.
Even Carrot relaxed his movements and touched the ground lightly with his paws.
The man couldn't feel anything other than Lu Chu holding his hand. Silent and colorless, his current world is the temperature passed by Lu Chu's hand. In this situation, he has no panic or fear at all.
Whether life is entrusted to this comes from trust, and the man himself cannot be sure. The only thing he knew was that he was not afraid of death. Since he chose to lock Lu Chu in his room and tried his best to keep him safe, he had already thought about all the possibilities after that, including destruction.
The closer they got, the louder the noise, which made Lu Chu's heart ache.
How to pass through this area still needs the cooperation of radish. Coming out of the small path, Lu Chu pulled the man to stand against the wall, then put down the bamboo stick, squatted down and groped the area around his feet, and when his hand touched a stone, he picked it up and weighed it.
That's all.
Lu Chu took the stone and threw it towards the center of the intersection.
With a sound of "bang", there was a loud sound of glass shattering, which was about the same as Lu Chu estimated. This distance was the smashing of the glass windows of cars that were jammed together in the middle of the intersection.
Such a loud and ear-piercing sound did not attract the slightest attention of the people wandering here. Lu Chu was finally sure that besides their vision, they had at least lost their hearing.
If so, it would be simpler for them to pass here, try not to run into these people, and it doesn't matter if they make some noise occasionally. This area is so chaotic, no one else with sound hearing will come over.
If it was only Lu Chu alone, with a man who had lost both senses, it would be difficult to get past this group of insensitive people, but with carrots, it would be much easier.
The radish can see these people, it can see all obstacles, so it can go around these obstacles and dangers. The "insensitive people" around are deaf. Whenever the radish finds a suitable path, it will bark a few times. According to its barking and the tacit understanding it has formed with Lu Chu over the years, Lu Chu can judge where to go. Where to go, you can even judge how many steps to take.
Then Lu Chu pinched the man's fingers and passed him the direction of walking.
Several times, Lu Chu felt the breath of those "insensitive people" lingering in his ears, and at the same time, the lingering smell of blood came to his face.
On weekdays, at Lu Chu's walking speed, he could walk from the intersection to the next corner in ten minutes, but now he walked slowly for more than half an hour.
The nerves were extremely tense, making Lu Chu's throat thirsty.
Finally turned across this road safely, the next street is Lu Chu's favorite place to walk. When his parents described the flower shop, supermarket and small clinic here to him when he was a child, he had yearning and love for this place. look forward to.
Turning the corner and walking a few steps is the small outpatient clinic. Lu Chu stopped and drank some water, and the man also drank some water.
After passing the first hurdle, Lu Chu felt inexplicably relaxed.
— It was also a strange experience.
The man remained calm all the time, lowered his voice and let out an "um".
"Be careful! Don't run around!"
Suddenly there was a soft voice in the small outpatient clinic, Lu Chu's body shook, and he immediately held his breath and became vigilant.
"Hehe, didn't daddy tell you not to run around?"
He He... It's the son of the doctor who opened the clinic. From the tone of the man's voice, it should be Dr. He from the clinic.
Dr. He is a nice person, enthusiastic and honest. Before the infectious disease started, Lu Chu often went to him to prescribe some small medicines and replace the medical kits at home. But having said that, Lu Chu didn't dare to come forward to recognize each other easily.
After what happened to the little girl just now, Lu Chu couldn't trust anyone, even if he knew this person before.
Seven days is enough to change an honest person.
"Didn't I say, Dad went out to find something to eat, and he will be right back. When I'm away, you must close the shutter door here, and wait until I come back and knock on the door for a signal to open it?"
"But I want Daddy to come back soon..."
"Isn't Dad coming back now? Let's go back, otherwise the bad guys outside will eat the invisible He He."
"Father... I'm afraid..." The little boy who heard the man's words suddenly sobbed with fear, wondering if he had really "witnessed" something.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, the rolling shutter iron door is closed, and we push against the iron cabinet, they won't be able to get in..."
"Kacha Kacha-boom!" The sound of the rolling door closing sounded, and the voices of the two also decreased until they disappeared.
Lu Chu stood far away, neither happy nor sad on his handsome face.
—If we can leave from the tower, can we save more people
As if expecting him to ask such a question, the man wrote in Lu Chu's palm stroke by stroke:
- In this town, the only one who can go out from the tower is you.
The author has something to say:
7: You are the chosen one!
Lu Chu: ...
