More than three months have passed. In Guixi Market, a city that has been reduced to a doomsday ruins, the ferocious red shadows of subspace demons are still wandering around, and continue to devour and kill mercilessly. The lives of the surviving humans hiding in every corner of the city.
Here, every inch of land in the city, every dilapidated wall, every damaged vehicle, and even every pile of putrid human corpses and skeletons covered with maggots and flies seem to tell the story of the past here. brilliance as well as the helplessness and desolation now.
Now, in just three months, the colonial civilization and order that humans spent thousands of years to establish have been completely destroyed by those monsters from subspace!
Many people have died, but even so, the cruel demons and their shadows are still raging and wandering in this land.
They won't stop!
They will still continue to feed on human blood, take pleasure in killing, destroying bones and creating ruins, and are determined to turn the entire city, and even the entire planet, into their hunting carnival, until all who are still alive Until humans are caught out, killed and dragged into subspace!
And precisely in view of this, in this doomsday city full of ruins, despair, blood and carnage, every human being who is still alive must of course struggle and hide carefully for their survival. Once too many Any movement will lead to fatal disaster!
Although people don't know when the hiding will end, but so far they have no more choices. They have no choice but to continue hiding and do everything they can to stay alive.
Of course, just because they can't do it doesn't mean that others can't do it!
Isn’t this?
"Huh~huh~"
()
In a certain street in this doomsday ruins that is dangerous and enough to make ordinary people suffocate in despair, a small figure is jumping and running among the dilapidated and putrid ruins, and even has the mood to hum an unknown song. songs, as if she was actually just running and having fun on a very ordinary forest path?
And her agile figure was also like a deer playing in the jungle, moving firmly and quickly towards a huge and solid building, and even killed several of them along the way and jumped out to look for it. An uncomfortable red-skinned warp daemon.
Otherwise!
Seeing this, seeing the little girl's unprepared state, by the window on a certain floor of the huge and solid steel building, there was a man who was constantly sending some kind of signals to her with a small lens. But he became even more anxious.
But he had no other choice. He just continued to use the lenses to reflect the sunlight and shine it quickly in the direction of the little figure. He quickly covered the lenses with his palms regularly, as if he wanted to let the little figure shine. The figure sees and understands the true meaning of the signal he sends?
But alas, that’s useless!
Although the little figure had already been seen and looked up many times, the other party ignored him at all. Instead, he rushed faster and more cheerfully, and finally entered the area in front of the building after crossing a street. It was in the ruins of several buildings that collapsed and stacked on top of each other and was finally completely lost.
"!!"
"this……"
Seeing this, the man couldn't help but whimper, and then his originally eager and expectant eyes began to be filled with a look called despair and helplessness.
To be honest, he just wanted to stick his head out and shout down a few times to convey his true meaning directly, but under the threat of those terrible subspace demons, he did not dare.
Because this building is one of the more intact solid buildings in this suburb, and precisely because it is big enough, and because it is strong enough, a group of terrifying demons regard this place as their lair. Once he dares to speak, he is guaranteed to Neither he nor the other survivors upstairs and downstairs who are hiding in this building will live to see the sun tomorrow!
They didn't know that the group of demons didn't know that many of them were hiding in this building, and they didn't know if they wanted to be lazy or had other motives. Anyway, those monsters rarely climbed to high floors to search. , they are just entrenched in the lower floors, but occasionally demons will run up and occasionally break in to catch one or two unlucky ones who make too much noise and torture them.
Those monsters have no intention of searching every floor and every room, and this also gives them the opportunity to hide and survive.
For more than three months, since the first day of the catastrophe, he and his family have been hiding here, hiding in their own home and carefully playing hide-and-seek with the demons. The game, when they occasionally come up to patrol or hang out, does not make the slightest sound and survives like this until now.
To be honest, they had already had enough of this state, and they didn't want to escape all the time!
but!
If they want to escape, they must have someone to help deal with the large number of demons entrenched at the bottom and those huge monsters that are even bigger, more terrifying and more ferocious than the demons. Otherwise, relying on them alone, There is definitely no way to escape successfully.
Of course, in addition to dealing with the demons who regard the lower floors of this building as their lair and are entrenched there, they must have strong enough armed forces to escort them to escape. Otherwise, once they dare to take to the streets easily, what awaits them will be There is only one way to die!
Because of this, he started sending out distress signals to the outside world very early, wanting to let people know that they were still alive and still here, waiting for rescue.
It's a pity that three months have passed and they haven't received any rescue!
And from the combination of this return market and certain information received one after another, it is not difficult for them to judge. It is possible that the entire planet is almost in the same situation?
But he was unwilling to give up and continued to seek help from outside.
But now, except for a certain LAN chat group of the owners, they have lost all effective means of communication with the outside world, and the effective energy and electricity have almost dried up. It is naturally impossible to continue to send out distress signals. Start.
Fortunately, he didn't know which day he came up with the idea of using small lenses to reflect sunlight, trying to attract others' attention and send signals. Although that move was risky, it was the only way they could escape from here and survive. Hope.
Although……
More than three months have passed, and they have not waited for rescue, nor have they seen any hope or opportunity. What they have seen is the complete collapse of the city, the ruins of the city, and more and more human beings. It was just a horrific sight to die at the hands of those terrible demons and be slaughtered one by one.
As a result, they are becoming more desperate and depressed day by day, and are almost completely losing their confidence and motivation to continue living.
And today!
Surprisingly, they unexpectedly discovered an extremely powerful little figure who could chop down demons like melons and vegetables?
Thinking that it might be an opportunity, they thought that the figure might be an official or a scout from a certain army, so of course they immediately used the reflection of sunlight to send the standard communication signal code to the small figure and explained to them Based on the current situation and the basic situation on the ground floor of the building, I hope that the other party will handle it as appropriate and try to rescue them as soon as possible.
But no idea...
The other party actually completely ignored the message he just conveyed, and ignored his subsequent warnings, and still broke into this place from the front regardless?
"No……"
"Why is this happening?"
Finally, when I saw that little figure disappear completely, I knew that the other party was definitely coming to the first floor of their building, and I believed that they would soon encounter a large group of low-rise people waiting on the first floor of this building. The devil had a high chance of dying in the end. Knowing that the only precious hope of rescue he had found in the past three months was so ruthlessly shattered, the man who used the lens to send the signal finally collapsed.
"..."
Ever since, the man with a shaggy beard, messy and greasy hair, his face covered with dust and dirt that had not been washed for an unknown amount of time, and his eyes filled with despair, finally slowly reached out and closed the window, closed the curtains, and felt a little lost. He walked back to the living room slumped, and threw the lens that had been polished for many days on the small table beside it with a crisp sound.
"!!"
"how was it?"
"Have you sent the signal?"
Seeing the man turn back, he saw an equally dirty man with long hair like a hen's nest, and the clothes on his body were sticky and greasy, but he could tell that his skin color and face were very good, and he seemed The woman, who was only about thirty or forty years old, stepped forward cautiously and asked nervously in a low voice.
At this time, her eyes were full of expectation and anxiety.
"husband?"
That's right!
She is this man's wife. She was originally a housewife in this luxurious apartment. She has been living a privileged and comfortable life as a lady. She also planned to go to San Gong in the Taiwei galaxy one day within the next three months. However, she never thought that this sudden end of the world would change everything, turning her from a noble lady who was originally superior to others to the sloppy person in front of her. Ugly woman?
During this period of time, although the food and wine reserves at their home are not in short supply, domestic water and energy have been completely cut off. On weekdays, the family can only survive by carefully collecting some rainwater from the window. , so that personal hygiene is definitely out of control.
Moreover, issues such as water and sanitation are secondary, and the most important issue is safety!
Now they not only have to worry about themselves and their families all day long, but they also have no way to escape from this city that has been reduced to ruins during the day. This is what worries their family the most!
But there is no use worrying!
At the moment, their family is only cautiously and fearfully living in the lair of those terrible demons, in this high-rise building that was originally a luxury apartment, but is now like a tormenting hell, and watching helplessly as they rely on Apart from the fact that the neighbors they were still connected to through the LAN died one by one due to various reasons, there was nothing they could do.
"??"
At this time, I heard no movement outside for a long time. Not far from the living room, a hidden room was carefully opened, and then an equally dirty little boy emerged from there. The other person said in that suppressed voice He asked weakly and with a bit of nervousness and expectation:
"dad?"
"Did someone come to save us?"
And of course he is the son of the man and the woman. He is only about ten years old at the moment. He is the age that likes to be playful and noisy the most. However, in this terrible apocalypse, he has already learned to speak quietly and Walked on tiptoe.
"..."
Looking up at his son, the man didn't speak. He just stood up slowly, then walked gently to the door of his son's room and looked into the room.
On a bed inside, there was a twelve or thirteen-year-old search girl lying there motionless. Only the slight rise and fall of her chest and her somewhat rapid breathing indicated that she was still alive.
"Will do!"
"Do not worry!"
"Someone will definitely come to save us."
"Take care of your sister first. If she wakes up, give her some water and medicine."
"Other things..."
"Don't worry, your parents are here, okay?"
After saying that, he signaled his son to go back and carefully closed the door. Then he walked back to the sofa with a sullen face and sat down in frustration. Then he deeply covered his face covered with stubble and dirt with both hands.
"That is to say..."
"Still hopeless, right?"
Seeing the man's appearance, the woman knew why without the man's answer. Therefore, she couldn't help but swayed, and then she sat down next to the man with a frustrated smile.
"It's been three months..."
"If there is no hope anymore, Shan'er will not be able to hold on."
"The medicine we exchanged for food from our neighbors is not effective at all. What we need now is a hospital and a doctor!"
Then, she looked in the direction of her daughter's bedroom and saw that the bedroom door was still closed. She thought that her son, who used to be naughty and rebellious, had become 100% obedient during this time and would take care of his sister for his parents. With a mature look of worry, the woman couldn't help but whimper quietly.
Due to malnutrition, hygiene and other reasons, her daughter fell ill not long ago, and although they tried their best to exchange some medicines with neighbors that might be useful, they didn't know whether it was the wrong medicine or something else. The reason is that those medicines are of no use.
"husband!"
"Think of a solution quickly..."
Therefore, the woman pleaded loudly while sobbing, although she also knew that her pleading was of no use. Her husband was just an ordinary person and had no way to fight against those terrible subspace demons. , but she still hopes to do something for her daughter, instead of being helpless like now and watching her daughter become seriously ill and weak day by day.
"..."
The man didn't speak, he just sat frustrated for a while. It wasn't until the woman next to him, his wife who was no longer beautiful and charming, gradually stopped sobbing that he sighed sadly and whispered what he had just said. have witnessed:
"I sent the signal, and she also saw the signal I sent, I'm sure of this!"
"but……"
"But she rushed over alone."
"I stopped it too!"
The man smiled miserably and cast a helpless and bitter expression at the astonished and sad wife next to him, and then continued to sigh in frustration:
"I clearly said it in the signal that there is danger here, and that there are a lot of demons down there, and asked her to come back with more rescue teams if she can?"
"but she……"
"She doesn't seem to understand at all?"
"I also stopped her and told her not to be impulsive and not to act recklessly!"
"Can……"
As he talked, the man couldn't talk any more.
Then, he once again covered his unshaven face in frustration, and then scratched the back of his messy hair, which was also as messy as a chicken coop and formed into piles of sticky hair that also exuded a strong smell. Then he sighed sadly and lay down weakly on the sofa.
"ah?"
"She, she saw it and rushed over?"
"how come……"
"Did she not understand what you meant?"
"or it could be……"
"You send the wrong message?"
After the woman paused and thought about it seriously, she quickly wiped away her tears and asked with some reproach.
"No!"
"I really didn't make a mistake!"
The man just shook his head and sat upright on the sofa again.
"I swear!"
"I made it clear in the signal that we need help, our plight, and that there are many terrible monsters entrenched at the bottom here."
"He also said that he hopes she can find more helpers and then come to rescue us. She even talked about some of the situations in the building and our current situation..."
As he spoke, the man's voice became smaller and smaller, until finally it was so quiet that it was almost inaudible.
"but……"
"She doesn't seem to understand at all!"
"She just rushed over and alerted the devil..."
After saying that, the man's eyes were once again filled with helplessness and despair.
In three months, this was the first time they had successfully sent out a message asking for help, and they thought they would receive help, but who would have thought that this would be the result?
"Why did the world suddenly become like this?"
"What the hell happened?"
Then, seeing his wife sitting aside a little dull and dull, with a look of despair on her face, the man smiled miserably and murmured again.
In this market, in this city that can almost be called the most prosperous and largest city in Huagai Star, they were once a group of people who could be said to be social elites, with a luxurious life and dreams and infinite possibilities for the future.
However, the invasion of those terrible monsters broke all this!
Almost overnight, these middle-class people who usually pride themselves on being better than others suddenly became desperate survivors. They had to struggle to survive in this cruel world and watched in despair. The doomsday is approaching his family step by step, and there is still no way to do it.
At present, although their family can barely hold on for a while with the help of stored grain and various supplies, they will not be able to hold on for much longer.
Especially when his daughter was ill, despair and helplessness had been hanging over the couple's hearts, reminding him of the people in this luxury apartment building who risked being discovered by demons to collect supplies on the lower floors and use them. Neighbors who try their best to exchange food with others.
If nothing changes, their family, which has been struggling since the end of the world, will soon lose an important family member. Then, within the next month or two, supplies will be completely exhausted. , he simply couldn't imagine what would be waiting for them!
"Husband, don't blame yourself too much."
"Maybe……"
"Can she carefully avoid those demons, come up, understand our situation, and then go out to find reinforcements?"
The two were silent for a while. Seeing her husband's helpless, frustrated and depressed look, the woman who was also a little confused thought about it, and then suddenly smiled reluctantly and reached out to touch the cheek of the man next to her. Comforted.
'! ! '
'Hooo! ! ! '
'hiss! ! ! '
'Roar--! ! ! ! '
However, just as the woman finished speaking, unexpectedly, waves of demons' roars and excited roars suddenly sounded from below the apartment building.
obviously!
The demons slapped the woman in the face hard with actual actions. The 'rescuemen' who got the news and rushed over obviously failed to avoid those demons, and were almost surrounded by those entrenched in the building as soon as they entered the building. The terrible demons on the first, second and third floors of the building were discovered.
boom--!
Bang bang——!
Soon, as the excited roars and roars of the demons came one after another, there were bursts of strange noises and roars from the downstairs of the apartment building.
'...'
'...'
'...'
But very soon, maybe less than two minutes later, when their family and more survivors were hiding in bed or boxes in fear, fear, anticipation, or trembling, those voices started to appear. Has it gradually become silent again?
"Ah!"
"look……"
"Maybe I shouldn't have given that signal..."
The man who listened to this and what it meant until all the voices stopped, once again looked at his wife next to him with a sad smile and said with a self-reproaching smile.
"..."
And the pale woman naturally didn't say anything else.
Because she knew that it meant that the 'rescue' who was discovered by her husband and passed on the signal, and who rushed over as soon as he heard the news, must have died at the hands of those terrible murderous demons, no. There will be other possibilities!
"..."
"..."
Ever since, the couple who had just had a glimmer of hope, but now turned into despair again, continued to sit on the sofa in silence, and no one discussed the topic just now.
that's all!
I don’t know how much time passed, when the atmosphere in the living room of this apartment became more and more dull, when despair and all kinds of sorrow gradually enveloped the hearts of this helpless couple and countless survivors again...
Sudden!
Bang! Bang! Bang!
"!!"
"!?"
Very suddenly, heavy and powerful knocks on the door rang out like thunder, shocking the two couples who were sitting next to each other like cats whose tails were stepped on. Their fur suddenly exploded and their faces turned pale. He jumped up and down, and then his hands and feet began to feel cold and trembling.
because….
They knew that at this time, there would never be any neighbors who would come and knock on the door!
And even if you come to the door or ask for help, you will never dare to be so loud!
Because they usually first contact and discuss with the remaining group of owners who can barely communicate with each other, and then come over to carefully exchange and obtain supplies, they will never be as reckless as they are now. Knocking on the door, and so loud!
so……
It’s obvious what it is outside!
There is no doubt that it is the devil!
"..."
"..."
Therefore, although each of them was very scared, even to the point of trembling, the couple still looked at each other in horror, suppressed some urge and impulse under the trembling, and turned to be cautious and tiptoeing. He walked to their son and daughter's room, opened the door carefully, walked in, and carefully closed and locked the door again.
Although they knew it was useless, they had no choice but to stay with their families in the last moments.
Bang! !
soon!
Seeing that knocking on the door was useless, the murderous 'demon' outside became impatient and actually kicked open their safety door made of steel and walked in with a bang.
"..."
"..."
Normal people or normal creatures obviously can't destroy that kind of door, so the two couples who hid in the room and shivered on the bed with their son and unconscious daughter became even more convinced that they had broken into the door. Yes, it is indeed a 'devil'!
Now, the end of their family has finally come.
"Mother!"
"I'm afraid!!"
"Woo..."
Hearing the footsteps getting closer and closer, they stopped outside the door. So, with great fear, the little boy naturally threw himself directly into his mother's arms and couldn't help trembling and whimpering in fear. stand up.
"..."
"..."
And why aren't those two couples afraid?
but……
There’s no point in being afraid!
The devil outside has obviously discovered them, and right now, they can do nothing but hug each other tightly as a family and wait for the last moment.
Click!
Click! Click!
The 'devil' outside started to twist the door handle, but fortunately the couple had already locked it when they came in, so naturally the other party couldn't twist it open.
But that's no use!
After all, the door was much simpler than the door to the living room outside, and it was also made of wood. And since the stainless steel door of the living room could be kicked open instantly, the thin wooden door in front of him must not be able to stop him.
Benedict! Benedict! Benedict!
The next second!
Just when the couple thought that the other party would burst into the door with an angry roar and bite and kill all four members of their family in this small room, to their surprise, the other party was very gentle and even knocked gently. Come to the door?
"."
"."
"."
And seeing that unusual situation, seeing that the demon didn't seem to be in a hurry to kill them, the three members of the family of four who were still awake became even more frightened!
Because, if the devil doesn't intend to kill them immediately, it must be planning to torture them slowly or something else, and when that happens, it might as well rush in and tear their whole family into pieces. !
