Doomsday Wonderland

Chapter 2409 Yu Yuan’s choice

The ground in Heishan Town will suddenly collapse and sink regardless of time or place. Suddenly, a dark and bottomless tunnel will open, leading to hell.

Those who roll down with the clods of earth and are unfortunately swallowed up by **** will never come back.

"When I was born, there were thirty to forty thousand people in the town," Yu Yuan sat on the steps, lowering his eyelashes and whispered, "Now... there are less than two thousand people left."

The opening of a black hole is completely random; sometimes it doesn't happen once a year, sometimes it swallows a dozen families in a month. The only thing that can be said about the pattern is that it basically does not appear continuously in the same place within a short period of time.

"The people in the town are always living in panic. Just a question of survival has made people breathless, but as if this is not hard enough... there is secret anxiety and fear in the depths of everyone's mind. Standing there, not knowing which day it will be my turn, my feet will be empty and I will fall into the gaping black hole."

"Why is this happening?" Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but ask, "Where did the black hole come from?"

At this moment, she was still holding Bohemia's hand. Although Bohemia was still far away from the pit just now, she seemed to realize that Lin Sanjiu only wanted to save her and do her best. She didn't lose her temper at this time. Sitting aside honestly, waiting to go back to Yu Yuan's house for dinner.

"No one has an accurate answer. Maybe when Heishan Town was built, there was a 'factor' that could collapse and swallow people at any time." Yu Yuan whispered, "Everyone says that disasters are a part of life, and there is no such thing. Natural disasters cannot be avoided...right? All the people in Black Mountain Town can do is not to listen or see, and to seek their own blessings."

Lin Sanjiu always felt that things shouldn't be like this - a force majeure force would fall on you for no reason at any time and hit you, and your life would be completely black. The only way for a whole town to deal with this is not to think about it, not to talk about it, not to provoke it.

"What can I do?" Yu Yuan smiled bitterly, "It's hard enough to live. Just to stay alive, I have exhausted all my strength. After the black hole collapses, the ground will slowly close, and even if I dig again, nothing will be dug out. ”

He sighed and said: "Fortunately, the ground will be restored to its original state. To be honest, let alone digging people, if the deep pits in the ground are not restored, I don't know if the people in the town have the strength to fill the pits... There is a food shortage in our town, and it is very difficult to meet daily needs.”

Lin Sanjiu stood up from the steps and looked back at the town square.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have imagined that the subsidence had just swallowed people; the empty space had already been filled in, because the safest place today was the land where the dead bodies were deeply buried.

This time in Black Mountain Town, there is no Black Mountain, but a black hole that randomly collapses.

"Let's go, it's time to go back for dinner," Yu Yuan stood up, pointed at Bohemia and said, "This guy is so hungry that he even looks bad."

Dinner was very simple; but Bohemia wanted to dive into the soup pot and eat every fiber - as Yu Yuan said, neither of them was full.

After dinner, it was time for Lin Sanjiu to say goodbye.

"I have to go home," she said, vaguely thinking of Exodus. The reality of the doomsday world is like another layer of dreams, overlaid and projected on this layer of dreams. "I just remember that I came to you with something very urgent and important, and I wanted you to give me an answer, but I forgot what it was."

Yu Yuan, who insisted on seeing her off, was holding Bohemia's hand and walking beside her; upon hearing this, he turned his head and glanced at Lin Sanjiu, like ink jade flowing in a white stream.

"It doesn't matter, the days are long."

Lin Sanjiu also smiled: "Well, I'll come find you again as soon as I remember."

The setting sun has already set, dragging away the last red cloud. The dark blue sky fell into the sky and earth like rain, dissipating and dispersing into a sky of dark night. The three of them walked silently in the night without street lights. Not far away was the road Lin Sanjiu had taken.

"Just send it here," she said to Yu Yuan, looking at the path formed by flattening the loess, "I can go out on this road in ten minutes."

Yu Yuan followed the direction of her finger and glanced back and forth for a while. Finally, his eyes fell back on Lin Sanjiu.

"Although nothing good happened today, I'm still glad you came."

He let out a low breath. Perhaps because of the lack of tattoos, or perhaps because all the emotions in dreams are always very strong and hit the soul directly, Lin Sanjiu felt that she was almost resonating with his reluctance and nostalgia.

Yu Yuan, who has always been calm and reliable, turns out that there are times when he is like a young man, feeling both at a loss and attached...

"The person I am now exists because of you." Yu Yuan lowered his head as if to hide his emotions, his voice trembling slightly. "You have reshaped the 'me' in your perception. Sometimes I wonder, is what you reshaped the original me? There is a difference between the 'Yu Yuan' in your perception and the real 'Yu Yuan' How big? But I'll never get the answer.

"Sometimes I feel like a piece of cardboard. Have you seen the cardboard figures erected in the store? Just like that. You put me up, but you don't know that behind me, maybe there is nothing. "

"Why did you say that all of a sudden?" Lin Sanjiu stretched out her hand, wanting to touch him and comfort him, but she still took it back. "You are not an empty person..."

"Um."

Yu Yuan responded through his nose, still not raising his head. "Maybe it's because...when I'm with you and my friends, I feel closer to the complete and sufficient person that a person should be. I can feel that I am entangled with others. , slowly growing new flesh and blood, slowly standing firmer and stepping on firmer ground."

When talking about friends, he glanced at Bohemia beside him.

"I am willing to live in the image you gave me, because I think that the me you know must be very good. Maybe better than the original Yu Yuan. If apart from this, I have thickness, I have It would be better if it has more facets and is no longer just a cardboard statue.”

"Of course you're not..." Lin Sanjiu started to speak, but then felt too pale and stopped.

"I am hopeful that I can be with you."

Yu Yuan bent down, picked up Bohemia, and let her sit on his arms. He stretched out his other arm towards Lin Sanjiu and said with a smile, "So you should come see me again as soon as possible."

Lin Sanjiu didn't know if she was crying - she seemed to have no reason to cry. She walked up, stretched out her arms, and took the boy Yu Yuan and the toddler Bohemia into her arms.

After a while, she let go of her hand.

"After I leave," Lin Sanjiu whispered, "You won't be in danger, right?"

"It's okay." Yu Yuan put Bohemia down and said, "We live here and know what we are facing."

So why not leave?

Lin Sanjiu hesitated and glanced at the way he came.

She froze.

The simple loess road that just now passed through two rows of bushes and extended into the distance has disappeared now. She stared at the place where the loess road originally existed, and she couldn't tell what replaced it - no, it seemed that there was nothing to replace it at all; the world was simply cut off here.

what happened?

Lin Sanjiu suspected that she was looking in the wrong direction and turned around sharply. However, she could not see anything except Heishan Town behind her; it seemed that there was an invisible curtain wall that tightly surrounded Heishan Town. Her sight, Her cognition was unable to cross the curtain wall, let alone drag her body through it.

Why did her origin disappear?

Obviously before the hug, she also saw—

Lin Sanjiu lowered her head and stared at her naked calves, stunned. The field pants and vest on her body were gone, and she was only wearing the clothes Yu Yuan gave her.

The journey, clothes, food... the enthusiasm and curiosity of the people in Heishan Town towards outsiders; the embrace between her and Yu Yuan.

The cold winter snow mist rose from deep within the body, and Lin Sanjiu trembled uncontrollably.

Yu Yuan and Bohemia were no longer around for a long time, and seemed to disappear in a second thought; but she knew that Yu Yuan was now sending Bohemia home - the special power of dreams even let her know, How to get to Bohemia's house.

"Yu Yuan!"

As Lin Sanjiu ran, he shouted to the two figures in front of him. "Wait for me, I have something to say—"

It was obvious that she was only a few steps away, but those last few steps could not be crossed no matter what, they were always between her and the two people in front of her; no matter how loud Lin Sanjiu shouted, Yu Yuan and Bohemia also Not audible at all.

"Ah, this sewer has no cover,"

Bohemia said, letting go of Yu Yuan's hand, and took two steps to the right, intending to bypass the dark sewer on the sidewalk.

No matter how heart-wrenching Lin Sanjiu screamed, he couldn't make Yu Yuan turn his head. He walked on the other side of the sewer, not realizing at all that where Bohemia's feet were about to land, a deep black hole that was almost identical to the sewer opened.

One second she was there, the next she disappeared into the night.

The ground slowly closed and returned to its original state; Yu Yuan subconsciously stretched out his hand, as if to pull Bohemia up again, but was stunned.

"Yu Yuan!"

It was as if there was an invisible bubble that separated her, which was finally burst by this shout. Yu Yuan was excited and raised a pair of blood-red eyes towards Lin Sanjiu.

"Bohemian she-"

"Listen to me," Lin Sanjiu grabbed his arm tightly, as if she, like the voice, was about to be shattered into pieces. "Why didn't you take Bohemia away earlier? Why didn't you tell the people in the town to leave? Because you can't leave at all, can you? You can't see anything from the outside world, can you? I can't see it either, I I can’t see the way out. And, I finally understand…I finally know where Montenegro is.”

Yu Yuan was stunned and glanced at the ground again. "Where?"

Lin Sanjiu raised her hand and pointed at her temple.

"it's here."

With an expression like sleepwalking, Yu Yuan slowly raised his hand and touched his fingers above his eyebrows. "In my...mind?"

The two of them were silent on the sidewalk where Bohemia was buried. After a while, Yu Yuan said in a trembling voice: "How do you know?"

"You planted Heishan in my mind," Lin Sanjiu whispered, "while we hugged."

After she came to Heishan Town, she had physical contact with Yu Yuan for the first time, and the way out disappeared.

"I don't understand..." Yu Yuan said tremblingly, "I don't understand...is it because of me?"

Lin Sanjiu wanted to scream "no", she wanted to say out the extremely important thing that was rolling deep in her mind, but she still couldn't pull it out of that night and into the present moment, just like in her mind Sure enough, there was a towering, black and heavy mountain shadow that captured her thoughts - all she could say was "Black Mountain Town".

"You want to slowly grow new flesh and blood while being entangled with others... don't you?"

Lin Sanjiu gently held Yu Yuan's hand and whispered comfortingly: "That's why we are in this Black Mountain Town, that's why there is a Black Mountain Town here...right?"

"No black mountain anywhere is as powerful as the black mountain in my heart, right?"

Yu Yuan suddenly smiled bitterly, his feet seemed to have no strength, and he slowly sat on the ground. "Am I really the source of Black Mountain this time? I just want the safest and most stable place... I just hope that the next few days will be like the past few days. Why did this happen?"

Lin Sanjiu wiped away the tears on her face, knelt down in front of him, and whispered: "I don't know why things have evolved into what they are now...why we have to make a choice."

Yu Yuan slowly looked around the sidewalks, houses, sewers, and the night sky.

"Our friends...and the ordinary people in the town who are running for survival every day...Bohemia." He murmured, "We can't stay trapped here...can we?"

Lin Sanjiu shook his head.

After a few seconds, she asked in a low voice: "What are you going to do...?"

Yu Yuan was stunned, looking at the ground with empty eyes. As if brought back to his senses by this sentence, he said hoarsely: "Just let Montenegro disappear, right?"

Lin Sanjiu suddenly became nervous.

"How do you want Montenegro to disappear?" she said urgently, "You have to know that even if you give up on yourself and put yourself in danger, it may not mean that everything will be possible..."

Yu Yuan looked at her unblinkingly, as if he had finally let go of a heavy burden and finally made a decision. Now he just needs to take another look at his cherished friend.

"But, I have to do it, right?"

He got up from the ground, put his knees on the ground, stretched out his hand, and tucked a stray lock of hair behind Lin Sanjiu's ear.

"Small wine,"

Under the night, Yu Yuan's smile was like snow.

"If I could turn back time and choose again, I would still choose to meet you and become friends...I don't regret it at all."

Many years ago, when I was young and ignorant, I made a grand ambition. I wanted to revise it after the end of the world. Now... friends, wild ghosts, we are all reasonable people. Re-editing more than 2,400 chapters is something only people in prison can do, right? I'm going to finish the first hundred or so chapters. Life is short... To be honest, now that I read what I wrote before, I do feel a gap...

PS: In fact, everyone knows how Yu Yuan will choose, which makes it difficult to write about him...
