Doomsday Wonderland Chapter 1756: Conversation with Ye Jing
The corrugated ball exploded in mid-air.
From the moment Ye De felt his chest loosen and was blown away by the explosive airflow until he actually fell to the ground, it seemed that there was only a moment. The time was so short that he could not see clearly what happened; there seemed to be dozens of seconds. It was such a long hour, and by the time he landed, he was already beginning to doubt himself under the impact of various thoughts in his mind.
Did I do something stupid? Ye De got up from the ground, spit out the blood in his mouth, and looked back.
The next second, he ran towards the city wall as if his life was dead.
...He could barely see the clearing.
Just like the middle-aged woman’s severed arm, the limbs that have lost connection with the mutant will not proliferate; the other half of the arm that is connected to An Ran is frantically tearing apart and spewing out layer after layer. , swarms of massive arms.
Densely packed, layer upon layer, the surging arms and hands submerged and covered most of the platform in the blink of an eye - as if angered by the explosion, they are still spraying and spreading endlessly, no matter it is Both the speed and quantity far exceeded that of a middle-aged woman whose arms were simply cut off.
In Ye De's plan, he should run towards the city wall as soon as he landed, trying to get off this platform before the spreading arms touched him - he didn't want to die with the mutants yet.
He is indeed doing this now, but the open space between him and the city wall is being quickly devoured by the surging mutant limbs around him, just like a small piece of rock standing in the sea at high tide, which will sink at any time disappear.
An Ran, standing not far in front of the city wall, seemed to have seen a comedy, laughing so hard that he was out of breath: "What on earth are you doing? I'm afraid you won't die fast enough. Not enough tricks? You struggled for a long time just for this?"
When Ye De couldn't answer a word and could only fight for speed with the mutated limbs, he calmly said: "You look like a headless fly, but I can't bear to let you die." , because I really want to know what you want to do with this. That little bomb of yours can only explode more of me. Could it be that you——"
Just when his words suddenly stopped, Ye De's feet trembled at the same time.
Just as the earth suddenly decided not to catch his footsteps, it gently pulled back, allowing Ye De's next step to step into the air. A dull rumbling sound came to life from under his feet. When he fell to the ground, he clearly felt that the ground under him finally couldn't hold it any longer, and a piece of it moved away in the tremor.
His goal was achieved - but unlike the plan, he didn't have time to escape yet.
"What, what's going on?" An Ran was shocked and realized: "The earth platform collapsed?"
With just a few words, the entire earth platform completely fell apart. At that moment, Ye De's vision was completely blurred by the flying dust, the large number of arms thrown into the sky, and the feeling of weightlessness. When he fell, he happened to see a clear scene, which was like a waterfall from the collapse. A large number of arms poured down on the earth platform - and An Ran fell down with them.
Yes, the earth platform collapsed, Ye De thought with satisfaction.
The airflow when the corrugated ball exploded in mid-air, at most, shook the earth platform; what really caused it to collapse was the endless arms that exploded from An Ran's body - to be more precise, the arms weight.
It seems that even the mutant himself has forgotten that his mutated limbs also have weight. This platform once collapsed because it could not support half a house. How could it support a mountain of mutated limbs like a sea?
A large number of limbs have exploded from An Ran's only one arm. Even if he hurriedly stretches out his other arm to grab the wall above his head, any part he grabs cannot bear the weight - this is exactly what happened. This was the reason why Ye De deliberately wanted to blow off one of his arms: he was interested in the uncontrollable weight of the limbs after the mutants multiplied rapidly.
He wanted to turn the safely proliferating limbs into a weight that the latter could not resist, and let it fall all the way into the void under the platform, into the haze layer under the void, and finally let the earth under the haze layer swallow it up. Drop him.
Ye De just didn't expect that he would fall down too.
But maybe this is for the best.
An Ran's screams even broke through the dull sound of the collapse of the earth platform; among the earth, rocks, powder and airflow, in the weightless feeling of falling, Ye De discovered that the large mass below was as turbulent as a mountain of snakes. The twisted flesh-colored limbs were shrinking rapidly - the mutant's other arm was also rapidly stretching upwards, reaching towards the city wall that was getting further and further away from them at the moment.
This guy reacted quite quickly and immediately knew to put away his mutated limbs.
By the way, my heartbeat has stopped, Ye De thought. He had never experienced such a level of fear in his life, but strangely, he had never experienced such complete silence in his life.
For example, now, he can feel his hand grabbing another corrugated ball, and his movements are calm and smooth, as if he is still standing on the level ground; Ye De aims at the ball below that has not been completely closed The arm was thrown out with force again.
"I|Fuck you——" An Ran screamed and cursed, but was quickly drowned out by the explosion.
Ye De seemed to hear himself chuckle - but this might also be his hallucination during the rapid decline.
After the explosion, everything returned to the state it was in a second or two ago: mutants would explode involuntarily as long as their limbs were broken, and An Ran would fall involuntarily under the weight. The speed at which he retracted his limbs was far less than the speed at which Ye De threw the corrugated ball. Besides, Ye De had no intention of giving him another chance - he didn't stop for a moment, and the corrugated **** fell one after another towards the big snake-like mountain. on the arm.
It’s just that he never had the chance to see the effect of the corrugated ball.
Even if you fall from such a high cliff, it is only a blink of an eye.
In a daze, Ye De felt someone suddenly grab his arm, push him up, and let him sit down. The force was firm but gentle, as if he was afraid that if he grabbed it too hard, it would leave bruises on his body - he turned around and saw those familiar, bright eyes again.
"Yehui," he heard himself call.
He is already quite an adult, but his voice sounded like a cry of grievance.
"Sit down," Ye Jing treated him now as if he were still treating him when he was four years old. He put his hand under his armpit and asked him to sit up against the soft quilt. . She looked at Ye De's face carefully for a while, gently pushed his hair to the back of his head, then sat back again, and asked with a smile: "How old are you this year?"
"Thirty-four." He said like a child, swallowing his grievance.
Ye De didn't understand why he could only sit leaning against the quilt. He hoped that he could crawl over and crawl back into Ye Jing's arms, so that even if he heard her complain that "the child is so hot", he could slowly fall asleep - but Ye Jing was sitting half a meter away from him, always There was a distance so that he could not touch her.
Yejing nodded. "We are all adults. It has been so many years...so, you survived well back then?"
His voice seemed to be choked by this question.
After so many years, Ye De never dared to think about what happened after that day - he squatted next to Ye Jing's chair and asked her softly if she still wanted to evolve.
He wanted to go back to the afternoon before he took out the haze water, lean against her legs, and quietly bask in the sun with her for a while longer. He thought that due to various reasons, he couldn't spend so many afternoons sunbathing with her again, and he would never be able to do it again.
"I'm sorry..." he whispered, "I regret it. But I don't regret it either. If I could go back in time and do it all over again, I would still collect the haze water, and I would still give it to you, Asking you if you want to evolve. I just hope I can give your life back to you."
"I know," Ye Jing still looked at him as before and said with a smile, "I know everything. I'm very happy."
She paused and tilted her head. When she was looking for her next words, time filled her skin again. "I never thought I would spend my life in this way, and I never thought I would get this kind of reward...I am very satisfied."
"No...this is my fault." Ye De said again. He reached out his hand to her, but Yejing remained motionless and seemed to have no intention of taking his hand. "I didn't know either...I didn't know that I had been infected during the collection process."
Yehui still looked at him very softly.
"If I could do it again, I would definitely go far,"
Ye De thought he wanted to cry, but maybe it was because everything had come to an end. He finally reunited with Ye Jing, and there was nothing to cry about. He just murmured and said as if reminiscing: "I have imagined many times in my mind that after giving you the Haze Water, I would leave Fanjia City immediately. Unless you evolve successfully, I will never come back. In this way Come, you will never know that I am infected...
"Actually, there is nothing terrible about me being infected. I am an ordinary person with no potential and cannot withstand the haze, so I will not evolve or become a fallen species, I will just be ordinary. They just get sick and die. There are so many people who will die in a day, and one more of me is nothing." He looked at his fingers and said, "How did you find out that I was sick in the first place? Even I didn't realize it. ...I thought it was just that I was too tired from work in those days."
"I raised you little by little," Ye Jing said with a smile, "How could I not see it?"
"But I'm not afraid," he said as if arguing: "My wish is only for you to evolve and for you to truly live for yourself. My life was given to me by you, and I am willing to use it for you. Do something."
"I didn't expect that in the end, not only did I accomplish nothing for you," he smiled bitterly, and continued: "In addition to the life you gave me, you also gave me your potential. This Everything is just...to let me, an ordinary child like me, survive."
Just like many years ago, Ye Jing would roll his eyes when he heard something he didn't like.
"I don't even know what you did, how many difficulties you went through, and where you found new doomsday factors before you finally delivered the potential value to me." When Ye De spoke, he really hoped to grasp it. He held her hand, but Ye Jing didn't move. "I can only lie in bed, letting you run around in a daze, waiting for you to save me... If I had known at that time, the price you paid for saving me was your potential, and the price for losing your potential was... ..."
"That's all in the past." Ye Jing interrupted him and said softly, "What about now? Do you have any satisfaction or regret now?"
Ye De thought carefully.
"I saved Anna," he said, suddenly feeling a bit proud like a child: "She is safe, you must be happy to know that."
Yoi smiled. "I'm happy."
"When I think about the middle-aged people I saw in the city, they may have had drinks with you; the old people I saw may have given you food before... The most important thing is that the children you raised have grown up Later, I had children again. Any young man I see may have started from you. It is because of you that you are alive and breathing..." Ye De looked at her and said: "I clearly know that they are related to You are not related by blood, but it is strange. It feels as if you are still there, and your life continues with theirs. I tried my best to protect them, and I did my best.
"As for regrets... I'm sorry for Lin Sanjiu. ~IndoMTL.com~ I clearly promised her that I would send out a missing person message for her afterwards, but I seem to be breaking my promise. The person she can't find seems to be It's very important to her...it's my regret."
"Really?" Ye Jing tilted his head slightly and asked, "Are you really going to break your promise soon?"
Ye De didn't quite understand what she meant, so he just looked at her blankly.
"Think again." Ye Jing pointed to his hands and said, "You have always been stubborn as hell. You walked all the way to the dark side. When I thought you were about to hit the south wall, you turned around. But he was able to find a way to escape at the last moment."
I don’t know when it started. His hands became red and white, with bulging veins, as if he was exerting all his strength.
"No," Ye De was startled, raised his head and said, "You - I want to stay -"
"When the day comes, I will wait for you here," Ye Jing said with a smile, "I promise, I won't go far."
This chapter ended up being longer than I expected...
