Chapter 4 Ruins
"Wu Zheng," Li Xu suddenly said, "You and I will walk together this time. Take your time."
The slope is still the same slope, and the people are still the same. The difference is that this time people are more thoughtful. This time Li Xu does not trot all the way up like before, but takes a step and looks at each step. Every step Li Xu takes,
Looking back, Wu Zheng was puzzled. However, his neck was still hurting, so he could only take a step with Li Xu and pause. In this way, amidst Wu Zheng's pain, the two of them reached the top of the slope again.
As soon as he came up, Li Xu looked back, and then ran to the place where he had just marked. When he saw the triangle, he was finally sure.
"Wu Zheng, let's go back." Li Xu came to Wu Zheng and said to him: "Turn back!"
Wu Zheng turned around and saw not the slope, but a road stretching into the distance. Li Xu said: "I don't know if I am right, these trees should be the only landmarks in this space."
, there is one space forward from here, and another space behind, just like a piece of paper encircling a city in a circle."
Wu Zheng seemed to understand, but asked: "Mobius strip?"
"No," Li Xu denied, saying, "The Möbius strip has only one side. Look behind us, the uphill section has disappeared. I think this slope is the passage connecting the two sides of the note, like a
Hole."
Wu Zheng thought for a long time before he seemed to have an epiphany and nodded: "It makes sense. What else can I say? Let's go."
Li Xu took a step forward, but missed the step and fell to the ground. In Wu Zheng's sight, Li Xu suddenly disappeared. "Li Xu, Li Xu," Wu Zheng shouted loudly.
After about a few seconds, Li Xu appeared next to Wu Zheng, rubbing his head. "What's wrong?" Wu Zheng asked.
Li Xu rubbed his head, made a hissing sound, and said slowly: "I was careless. I rolled all the way down the slope. I can see you standing on the slope from below, which means we are still in the same space.
This road is blocked."
"Ah! What should we do?" Obviously Wu Zheng was a little shocked, but Li Xu remained optimistic and said calmly: "I said we would go around the hole, let's go from the side."
After Li Xu finished speaking, he jumped out of the path where the two were standing, stood on the land next to him, and then called Wu Zheng: "Come, come here."
Wu Zheng jumped over like Li Xu, and the two walked together in the opposite direction. This time, the future was smooth, and the slope just now did not appear. Wu Zheng also said it was magical.
There are many unknown flowers and plants along the road. The red and yellow ones are very beautiful. They are dotted here and there. It doesn't look as monotonous as before. Li Xu looked at the blooming flowers under his feet and couldn't control his hands for a moment.
He picked one of the flowers from his waist. The moment the flower left the rhizome, the clear sky lost its color for an instant and was replaced by a bloody sky. Li Xu hurriedly got up.
"What's wrong?" Wu Zheng was startled by the sudden change and asked Li Xu: "Why did everything change suddenly?"
Li Xu looked at the flower in his hand and said blankly: "Don't do it. If I just pick a flower, will I be punished by God? This battle is too big."
"Look over there." Wu Zheng seemed to have discovered something and pointed into the distance. Li Xu stopped mumbling and looked in the direction Wu Zheng pointed. He saw a large black shadow in the distance, with uneven heights, but there was nothing specific about it.
He couldn't see clearly. He asked Wu Zheng: "What's wrong? What did you see?"
Wu Zheng turned around and said slowly: "That's a city, no, it's a ruin."
Li Xu tried hard to squint his eyes, trying to see more clearly, but everything was in vain. He said to Wu Zheng with some envy: "Sometimes I really envy your eyes, clairvoyance. Tell me the truth, you have
Didn't you peek at me taking a shower?"
Wu Zheng made a sound of disdain and replied: "Young man, when we went to university in the north, we all took baths in bathhouses. Who hasn't seen anyone before? Why are you pretending?"
The whole world was a blur, with only the ruins in the distance attracting attention. The two immediately walked towards the ruins, trying to find a way out.
"Tell me, what should I do if I encounter zombies again?" Wu Zheng suddenly asked: "Now
We don’t have weapons here, so are we going to fight hand to hand?”
"What can we do? Just fight hand to hand. Anyway, they run slowly. If you can't fight, just run away."
"Okay, be optimistic..."
After a useless chat, the two gradually approached the edge of the ruins. Wu Zheng glanced at it from a distance, then pulled Li Xu to squat down and hide behind a pile of shrubs. This place was very close to the city ruins, but there were various
There are signs that there are no roads extending from the city. The buildings outside form a circle, as if a wall surrounds the entire city. There are only a few gaps that can enter. At this moment, the two of them are in those gaps.
outside of one.
After Li Xu was pulled down and squatted down, he realized that the situation was not good and quickly asked Wu Zheng in a low voice: "What's wrong?"
Wu Zheng was a little panicked and whispered: "There are a bunch of little people dancing around the bonfire inside."
"Little man?" Li Xu became interested and asked: "How small is it? One and a half meters?"
"It's not as high as Flame." After saying that, Wu Zheng glanced at Li Xu again and said, "It's definitely not as high as you. Have you ever played Diablo?"
Li Xu suddenly became energetic and said: "Of course, especially Diablo 2, a classic among classics. In my opinion, one of the best games. I have used all the characters to pass the hell difficulty. I really like it. You know I like it best.
What profession? Trap assassin..."
Wu Zheng raised his hand to interrupt Li Xu's rambling, and said what he saw. "Those things look particularly like fallen demons and wizards."
Li Xu's eyes widened and he said in disbelief: "Really? Those little devils holding scimitars and the elder wizards who can shoot fireballs?"
Wu Zheng's face was not very good, and he said to Li Xu: "It's okay if they are so easy to kill. If they can't be defeated, it's the same as dying. In my opinion, let's take a few steps around to see if there are any other problems."
The mouth can go in."
"That's natural." Li Xu stood up, found a random direction and started walking around, with Wu Zheng following closely behind.
The two walked not long before they encountered another entrance. Wu Zheng stood still and looked at it. After confirming that it was correct, he said: "It's right here. There are no traces of the monster. Let's enter from here."
Li Xu praised him for being "awesome" and set off. The closer he got to the edge of the ruins, the hotter he could feel, waves of heat hitting his face. The two of them felt a little upset and irritable at the same time, so they kept their mouths shut.
, without saying a word.
Before arriving at the entrance. It is said to be an entrance, but it should be said to be an alleyway between two tall buildings. The two of them were walking in the alleyway, and they could see the blood-red sky when they looked up. Li Xu was keenly aware that something was wrong, and surrounded the two of them.
The atmosphere was a bit tense, and from time to time there were cyclones of hot air around the area, rolling up some small pieces of earth and debris. "Is it hot?" Li Xu asked Wu Zheng.
Wu Zheng wiped the sweat off his forehead with his bare hands and replied angrily: "That's natural. I almost stuck out my tongue to cool down right now. What kind of place is this? It's evil."
"You won't be able to stay here for long." Li Xu wiped his eyes, some beads of sweat rolled down to block his sight, and then said: "The temperature is too high. If it continues like this, we will be dehydrated in a short time.
At that time, the two of us were just two corpses, codenamed Jerky No. 1 and Jerky No. 2."
Wu Zheng didn't say anything, waved his hand, and set off again. Li Xu stepped forward, grabbed Wu Zheng, and said, "Even if we are leaving, there must be a destination. I think we should go to the edge here first.
For the top floor of a high-rise building, take a look at the general layout before making a decision. Sharpening the knife will not waste time chopping firewood."
This alley was much longer than what could be seen with the naked eye. Li Xu counted his steps and found that he had walked a total of four thousand steps. Each step was seventy-five centimeters. Li Xu roughly calculated and scared himself.
Looking at it from the outside, this alleyway is only a few dozen meters long, and the gap is too huge.
When the two finally came out of the alleyway, they could clearly see the inside of the city. This was obviously not any city on earth. There were thick pipes with unknown purposes in the sky connecting everywhere, passing through buildings one after another.
Just as Li Xu was sizing up the city, there was a loud noise behind him, "Boom"
"Rumble" like thunder.
"What's wrong?" Li Xu suddenly became nervous. He turned around and looked at the alleyway, only to see that the entrance he came from was gone. Wu Zheng and Li Xu looked at each other, and they could only smile bitterly. Li Xu said: "That's all.
, there is no way out, we can only move forward. Let’s go up and take a look first.”
The buildings around him that serve as walls also have other identities. The building in front of Li Xu at this moment, if he sees it correctly, should function as a supermarket. Through the outer glass decoration, you can see that there are various counters inside, but most of them are empty.
, he could only infer from the dust traces of different colors on the counter that there were some things placed here before. Li Xu walked into the supermarket, looked left and right, and found some goods that were still there, but they were in weird shapes, and
The text above is also beyond the scope of Li Xu and Wu Zheng's knowledge. After searching to no avail, I found a staircase leading to the underground.
"Wu Zheng, Wu Zheng", Li Xu greeted Wu Zheng loudly.
Wu Zheng came from the other side and asked, "What's wrong?"
"Let's go down and look for it. Maybe we can find something useful." Li Xu was the first to go down, and Wu Zheng followed closely behind him. As soon as he entered the underground floor, he immediately felt a sense of coolness, which was different from the one above.
It was so hot that the underground floor felt like a high-power central air conditioner was turned on. The two of them seemed to have escaped from the desert, shouting loudly: "It's so cool!"
Li Xu sat on the ground and rested for a while, then looked around for something. The underground floor was full of shelves. Unlike the upper floor, the shelves here were not empty yet, and there were still various products scattered on them. Li Xu left
Looking around, he found some bottles and cans. Li Xu opened one of them and smelled a strong aroma. "It should be for drinking." Li Xu drank one bottle and it tasted good, and then put two more bottles on him.
Walking further, we came to a rather special area. There were no vertical shelves here, and the products were all hung on the wall. Li Xu also knew the purpose of the products. Countries around the world have different cultures and races.
They are different, but they have a lot in common in many aspects. One of them is weapons. There are knives, swords, axes, etc. hanging on the wall. Li Xu was excited when he saw them.
"Wu Zheng, come quickly to Wu Zheng."
Wu Zheng was wandering not far away. When he heard Li Xu's call, he trotted away quickly. The two gathered together and stared blankly at the wall covered with weapons.
Li Xu stepped forward, took a sword from the wall, slashed in the air for a while, shook his head, and seemed to feel a little unhappy. Then he put the sword back, took another knife from the wall, and waved it
.Wu Zheng was also itchy, so he took off a knife and went with Li Xuwu.
Just when the two were fighting together, Wu Zheng saw a figure flashing in the corner behind Li Xu. He hurriedly stopped Li Xu and walked towards the corner with a knife. Wu Zheng approached carefully, not getting too close to the corner, and
He drew a big circle so that he could see the corner immediately. Finally, Wu Zheng was able to see the corner, and saw a "corpse" lying on the ground, trying to support himself to get up.
Wu Zheng's heart was palpitating. He took advantage of the corpse not fully getting up and glanced at the head with a knife. The corpse immediately stopped moving. Seeing that the corpse was not moving, Wu Zheng hurriedly turned around and pulled Li Xu and said: "Let's go, business is important. Let's go up first."
Lou, I'm afraid of an accident."
The two left the cool underground floor and went up the stairs. On the way upstairs, Li Xu found that except for the three floors below, the upper floors were extremely empty. There was nothing else except some empty rooms. The two of them left.
He started running, then switched to walking when he could no longer run. Even Li Xu forgot how many steps he had climbed. Only the sign on the stairwell remembered which floor it was.
Wu Zheng in front stopped, Li Xu looked up, it was the seventy-third floor.
"I don't like this number," Li Xu said breathlessly.
The two walked out of the stairs and saw an empty hall in front of them. There was a huge floor-to-ceiling window in front of the hall. Through the window, you could see far away. "Let's just go here." Wu Zheng said, "There is no point in going up. We have already seen it here.
It’s very clear.”
