When he was about to pass an intersection, Wei Yuan suddenly said: "Take the road from the city."
Zhang Zheng was about to turn the steering wheel and brake suddenly when he heard this. He suddenly turned his head: "Aren't you? In the city?"
Wei Yuan said: "Just take that road."
Zhang Zheng said as if he had eaten a fly: "We didn't bring any spare equipment. What if we get stuck on the way?" The irritable driver was as arrogant as ever.
When I arrived, I was in such a hurry to lead people to the rescue that I had no time to make preparations.
Wei Yuan turned to look at Jiang Shan in the back seat and said, "I promise to let you see the outside world. You can open your eyes today."
Jiang Shan had been staring out of the car window. Hearing this, he glanced at Wei Yuan and was surprised that he would say that.
Zhang Zheng knew that he was talking about being lonely again. He turned to face the intersection ahead. He turned the steering wheel with a stinking face and drove straight to the left. The violent shaking of the car also vented his dissatisfaction. It was really annoying. He had expected it. To receive a big trouble spirit.
The vehicle drove all the way up the road on the left. The vehicle ran over the asphalt road and brought up heavy smoke and dust. Jiang Shan was a little shocked. How long had it been since the road had been cleaned? What about the appearance of the city?
"Take a good look." Wei Yuan's somewhat deep voice came to his ears. There seems to be a hint of coolness.
Jiang Shan stared at the world outside the car window without moving. Vehicles were flowing smoothly on the city's main roads. Traffic jams once lasted for three hours. The roads where countless people and cars were passing by were empty.
As Zhang Zheng's car speeded up, Jiang Shan soon saw tall buildings passing by on both sides. The central city with a population explosion, countless construction waste piled in the middle of the city, rows of windows like Rubik's cubes The grid should have been full of people, but now it was empty. Except for the sound of tires grinding on the ground, the surroundings were eerily quiet.
Zhang Zheng suddenly turned a corner and climbed onto the viaduct nearby.
Jiang Shan saw countless black dust rising on the road where Zhang Zheng was speeding by, and the guardrails on both sides of the elevated highway were also covered with that black substance... The tall and huge buildings began to quickly approach Jiang Shan's eyes. Shan's eyes were still clearly able to capture at such a rapid speed that the surfaces of all the high-rise buildings were riddled with holes, the walls were peeling off, and they were mottled and old, as if this was not the bustling metropolis a few months ago, but an empty city. Same as it has been for a hundred years.
There is a tall road sign on the side of the highway, with cobwebs all over the rusty chassis. You can vaguely see the words written on it: "Beijing and Hong Kong welcome you"...
The vehicle had passed by for a long time, and Jiang Shan was still looking in the direction of the sign in a daze.
Jiang Shan has never left the small city where she was born in the past twenty years, so she arranged her final "death trip" for herself. But she has seen the appearance of Beijing and Hong Kong in countless publicity and on the big screen. It is prosperous and glamorous. "The most beautiful thing is the West Harbor Bay" is a familiar propaganda slogan.
Suddenly the car bumped, and Zhang Zheng was a little nervous. His eyes were fixed on the road ahead, motionless.
Jiang Shan raised his head and saw an electronic LED screen hanging high on the building. Jiang Shan had seen this screen in countless advertisements. It represented the landmark and status of Beijing and Hong Kong. Being able to advertise on this screen was a big deal. Got seven digits. Now this huge electronic screen is dim, and one side has begun to fall, hanging dangerously precariously in the air.
The whole city seemed to have turned black. It is so desolate and desolate, and the impact of blockbuster scenes is like a city in the apocalypse.
For a moment, Jiang Shandu suspected that everything in front of him was not real because it was so absurd and magical.
suddenly! A glass window fell from a high altitude and slammed into the front of the vehicle. In an instant, countless glass fragments broke apart and flew away. One of the fragments directly hit Zhang Zheng's windshield.
"My ctm###..." Zhang Zheng suddenly slowed down the car, breaking out into a cold sweat and uttering curse words to relieve the pressure.
Jiang Shan's eyes slowly looked at the road. The entire road was covered with countless glass fragments. From all directions, there were those they had just passed by and those in front of them.
Zhang Zheng ran over the glass in fear, fearing that he would be ruined if the tire was punctured.
I saw those aging and corroded window frames falling away from the building and falling from high altitudes, and the outer walls of the building were peeling off and flying in the air with the wind...
"I'm talking about Lao Wei," Zhang Zheng asked while taking a breath, "Are we sure...do we want to go forward?" It's still too late to go back now.
Wei Yuandao: "Keep driving."
Zhang Zheng's heart was really full of fragrance, but he had no choice but to increase the accelerator. If he died, he would die. Let's all die happily together.
Zhang Zheng turned the steering wheel and slowly came down from the elevated road. At this time, they had undoubtedly entered the innermost hinterland of the city.
The whole world seemed as quiet as death.
In front of him, Jiang Shan saw that the outer wall of a tall building was completely covered with moss and vegetation. Very thick tree branches extended from the window openings of the building to the outer wall, wrapping tightly around the building. , the building itself is full of cracks, as if it relies on these thick tree vines to keep it from collapsing, especially those entangled vines, which seem to be still crawling slowly, as if life is continuing to grow...
Jiang Shan was completely numb, and everything she saw was beyond her imagination.
What I just experienced in the hospital was nothing compared to the huge ruins of the city in front of me.
The exposed steel bars of the building had black substances peeling off layer by layer. The steel bars that were originally as thick as a wrist became thinner and thinner... and finally became like a noodle, swaying in the wind, and finally turned into ashes and collapsed. scattered.
Zhang Zheng's eyes had long been stiff, like a driving machine without emotion. Compared with the countless giant buildings on both sides, they in the vehicle are like ants. No matter which building collapses, they will be crushed into meat patties.
Jiang Shan didn't know when her hand was tightly grasping the door handle on the inside of the car, and she didn't even realize it.
Jiang Shan had only seen this kind of scene of decaying things and devastation in movies. To say that none of this was real, who had the ability to make such a huge city look like this in ruins.
"See, this is the city now." Wei Yuan's voice was calm and emotionless.
This is the outside world Jiang Shan wants to see, a world that is almost destroyed.
The price of freedom is usually heavier than imagined.
"That's enough." Jiang Shan said.
The air inside the car was so cold that it felt like it was soaked in icy water, and she didn't want to look anymore.
