I nodded in sympathy, lightly tapped the accelerator, and accelerated towards the place where the black smoke was rising.
After driving across three or four roads, I came to a crossroad. The place where the fire started was a tall building on the right-hand road.
I stepped on the brakes, stopped the car, and saw that the fire was on the third floor, and the billowing smoke was mixed with dark red flames, rushing out.
Wang Teng said, "Look, is that spontaneous combustion or man-made arson?"
I looked up at the scorching sun and said, “It’s mostly spontaneous combustion in this hot weather.”
Andy went on to say: "I think so too."
Wang Teng said, "Go over and take a look."
I said: "You can't see a zombie in this city. It's too weird. The driving target is conspicuous. It's better to walk over."
Wang Teng nodded, and the four of them got out of the car, guarding their way towards the burning tall building.
When I got close, I walked into the building on the opposite side of the road, then went up to an office on the third floor, and looked across the road. I saw the flames raging, and it had hit the fourth and fifth floors.
Andy said: "Let this fire go down, the whole building will have to burn out."
Wang Teng said: "We just stay here to see if the fire can attract anyone."
I said: "The city is such a big city, there should be survivors. I'm afraid that this situation is commonplace. Even if they see it, they won't come." Then, I opened several desk drawers and looked for cigarettes.
In the middle drawer, I found two bags and Tianxia, and threw one bag to Wang Teng.
Wang Teng smoked a cigarette and said, "I never wanted to buy this cigarette before. It's too expensive. Alas, if you knew the world would be like this, I smoked it every day."
I smiled and said, "It's not too late to smoke now."
Andy said, "Why do you two feel like nothing?"
I said, "Yeah, now what else can you do besides waiting here?"
Andy said, "I'm not referring to this."
I said, "Which one?"
Andy said: "Don't you think it's strange that a city appears inexplicably?"
I said, "What's so weird? What can you do besides being offended?"
Andy nodded: "Well, that's also true."
As time passed slowly, the fire on the opposite building got bigger and bigger. Across a two-way six-lane road, I could also feel the heat in the air.
In the evening, there was nothing to burn, and the fire gradually weakened.
After nightfall, the whole city was shrouded in darkness, and it seemed even more deserted.
The four ate dinner hastily and chatted for a while, and Andy began to yawn, Wang Teng and Zhuo Huina also felt very tired.
I pulled a sofa and sat in front of the window and said, "You sleep, I'll watch the night."
Wang Teng cheered up: "Let me come."
I said, "No."
Wang Teng was no longer polite, and the three lay on a sofa.
After a long time, Zhuo Huina came over and sat down next to me.
I said, "Why don't you sleep anymore?"
Zhuo Huina said: "Can't sleep. I want to talk to you."
I nodded and said nothing.
Zhuo Huina asked softly: "Is Ming Han still alive?"
I said, "You only think of Minghan now."
Zhuo Huina said: "No, I dare not ask."
I said, "What can't you dare?"
Zhuo Huina said: "I'm worried..."
I said, "Are you worried that Ming Han is dead?"
Zhuo Huina nodded gently.
I smiled: "Ming Han is still alive. After he escaped from the Star Continent, he came back for you. It's just that I and him separated."
Zhuo Huina was very moved, and half-paid said softly: "Actually I miss him so much."
The two spoke a few words indifferently, looking at the silent night sky outside the window, suddenly felt speechless.
After a while, Zhuo Huina said: "Let's light a candle, it's so dark."
I said: "Better not order."
Zhuo Huina said: "Why? There is nothing outside."
I said: "The whole city is dark, there is a fire here..."
When Zhuo Huina heard it, she whispered: "It's still not good."
The two were talking, and time followed her eternal pace until midnight. After Wang Teng got up and changed shifts, Zhuo Huina and I went to sleep.
The next day, we drove the car and continued to swim in the city. One morning passed, let alone people, not even a zombie was found.
The whole city is silent, and it is truly a dead city.
This reminds me of a movie I’ve seen before, called "The Last Man on Earth"
Protagonist
One morning when he woke up, he suddenly found that the whole city was empty. After the initial confusion and fear, he gradually indulged, taking a bath with tens of thousands of gold and a bottle of red wine and driving the luxury car out of the bumper car.
Life is as you want, as if you are in heaven.
But as time passed, he fell into deeper confusion and fear. Without a single person with him, he felt that being alive was the cruel punishment in the world. Finally, he couldn't bear it and decided to commit suicide.
He drove a car and crashed into a boulder at a speed of more than a hundred yards per hour. Fortunately, at the last minute, he saw the cooking smoke from the heroine's cooking.
At that moment, he was ecstatic, immediately stopped the car and ran to the place where the smoke was rising.
I feel that we are in a similar situation to him now, confused and frightened. What's better is that we have at least four people and we are not as lonely as him.
I was thinking about it, and Wang Teng suddenly shouted, "Stop!"
I subconsciously stepped on the brake and asked: "What's the matter?"
Wang Teng pointed to a store on the side of the road and said, "Look at it."
I looked in the direction of his fingers, some inexplicable, and asked inexplicably, "What to look at? Isn't it just a clothing store?"
Wang Teng said, "Look at the glass window."
I took another look and said in surprise: "Blood handprints!"
Wang Teng nodded, got out of the car and walked to the window, and we followed. Although the bloody handprints had dried up early, the color was still new and there was a faint smell of blood.
I said: "The time to press this bloody handprint is less than three days."
Wang Teng said, "There are people in this city!"
Zhuo Huina's voice trembled a little: "Why did she leave a bloody handprint? It's weird!" She shook Andy's hand.
I said, "No matter who left it, as long as there are people." I felt uncomfortable in my heart, leaving a bloody fingerprint, indicating that the person who pressed the fingerprint has been injured. Is he or she still alive
We continued to drive and shuttle through the streets and alleys of the city, but until the evening, we still did not find a living creature.
Seeing the sun slanting westward, the last ray of sunlight would also disappear behind the tall buildings. I parked my car in front of a big hotel and said, "Let’s stay here tonight."
At this moment, Zhuo Huina suddenly said "Ah" and pointed at the corner of the street: "Someone!!!"
