Chapter 26 The Dead
"It's said to be ten days later, so now should be the "zero day", right?" Ringo covered his mouth and nose with another hand, and said, "If you go out now, you won't be able to see the road clearly in a while, after all, there are no street lights here."
Qi Xia knew that what Ringo said made sense, so he quietly walked to the side and found a clean shelf to sit down.
He was indeed a little anxious, and he even forgot to check the time.
But he couldn't wait to leave this hellhole and see his wife.
To see Yu Nian'an.
To see the girl who likes to wear white clothes.
"Xiao An, I will escape from this hellhole soon." He muttered to himself, "Just wait, we will have money soon. "
Qi Xia's expression was always different from others. He was not panicked or sad, but just a little anxious.
As the sky darkened, everyone found a clean place to sit down.
Fortunately, the night here was not cold. Everyone was just a little hungry. They had not eaten or drunk anything for almost a day, and everyone felt that they had no strength.
No one spoke again. They just watched the earth-yellow sun in the sky slowly set, and the world fell into darkness.
The experience of this day was like a terrible nightmare for everyone. Everyone fantasized that when they opened their eyes again, all the strange visions in front of them would disappear.
The whole city seemed to be quiet. I don't know what was brewing. Everyone heard a whirling sound in the distance, but it was not clear.
It was too dark here, so dark that they couldn't tell whether their eyes were open or not.
Everyone grew up in the city since childhood and had never seen a dark night.
"Liar, are you asleep?" Qiao Jiajin suddenly asked not far from Qi Xia.
"What?"
"You said there are other "participants" here? "
Qi Xia was silent for a while, and replied: "I have also thought about this question. "Human Dragon" said that tens of millions of people have walked out of the door. Logically, there are more than nine of us here..."
Qiao Jiajin was also silent for a while, and then asked: "Could that female clerk be the one who walked out of the door before?"
"Huh?" Qi Xia was slightly stunned. He had never thought about it in this direction. After all, the woman seemed to have lived here for many years.
But if you think about it carefully, this is not contradictory. It doesn't matter whether you catch people ten years in advance or ten days in advance. The important thing is that according to "Human Dragon", this place will be annihilated in ten days.
They may have different starting points, but the end point is the same.
Fortunately, they should not go completely crazy like the female clerk. After all, they only need to stay here for ten days.
In any case, the "result" will be seen after ten days.
"Liar? Are you asleep?" Qiao Jiajin asked.
Qi Xia no longer paid attention to him, but turned his head to the side, thinking seriously about what happened today.
What is the reason for all these weird situations?
Without getting an answer from Qi Xia, Qiao Jiajin stopped asking for trouble and gradually fell silent.
After a while, two more people spoke in the dark, sounding like Doctor Zhao and Officer Li.
"Doctor Zhao..."
"What?"
"I want to ask... if a woman is malnourished for a long time, can she give birth to a life?"
Doctor Zhao was silent for a while, and understood what Officer Li meant. The female clerk in the house seemed to have not eaten for a long time, but why was she able to give birth to a baby?
Others seemed to be interested in this question as well, and were quietly waiting for his answer.
Doctor Zhao sorted out his thoughts and said, "This problem is very complicated. If women are malnourished for a long time, they are prone to irregular menstruation, even menopause and amenorrhea. In other words, the lack of basic life elements will cause them to be unable to ovulate and naturally unable to conceive."
"So... is this another thing that science cannot explain?" Officer Li asked in a deep voice, "The female clerk's physical condition looks very poor."
"The specific situation cannot be determined. In some areas of Africa, people's nutritional intake is also very low, but there is also a high birth rate..." Doctor Zhao sighed, "But this is not my professional field after all. It involves everyone's physique and the intake of key nutrients. I don't know much."
After hearing this, Officer Li stopped talking and stopped moving.
Everyone in the room fell into silence again.
Qi Xia didn't want to sleep, but when he completely lost his vision, his perception would become blurred, and he would eventually stop thinking slowly.
Accompanied by the quiet "rustling" sound on the street, Qi Xia's eyelids sank.
He didn't know when he fell asleep. In his dream, he saw Yu Nian'an.
"Xia, do you know? There are many roads in this world, and everyone has his own road."
"Yes, Xiao An, I know." Qi Xia nodded in the dream, "I will be out soon, you wait."
I don't know how long it took, only to hear a huge, almost close to the ear, bell sounded like thunder.
Qi Xia opened his eyes, stood up hurriedly, and found that it was already light outside.
When he turned around, everyone was still in shock, and they all looked around like Qi Xia. The bell was too loud and woke them up.
"What's going on?!" Xiao Ran subconsciously hid behind Officer Li.
Before everyone could react, a strange cough came from the corner of the room.
The cough sounded like a mouthful of water.
Dr. Zhao realized that the sound came from behind, so he slowly turned around, only to see a horrifying scene.
Han Yimo was lying on the ground, with a pure black giant sword stuck in his abdomen. The giant sword was like a nail, nailing him to the ground. The entire sword seemed to have been inserted with great force. , most of them went into the ground.
Blood was spitting out of his mouth and he kept coughing.
"Hey! Writer!" Qiao Jiajin hurried forward to check on him.
"Ahem... Qi... Qi Xia..." Han Yimo stretched out his hand and his voice was unnatural. It didn't sound like pain or fear, but more like doubt.
Qi Xia frowned slightly, then walked over, knelt down, and held Han Yimo's hand.
"I'm here," he replied, looking up at the ceiling of the building.
The entire ceiling was intact, and this black giant sword didn't seem to fall from the sky.
Han Yimo's lips moved slightly, his eyes began to glow, and after whimpering, he started crying.
"This...there's something wrong with this place...Qi Xia...ahem...this can't happen...this "Seven Black Sword"...absolutely...ahem...impossible...Qi Xia..." Qi Black Sword "Isn't it..."
His coughing became louder and louder, and he could not utter a complete sentence. Blood spurted out of his mouth and poured into his nose.
Han Yimo coughed loudly a few times, then his whole body stiffened and he lost his life.
When it's hard to breathe, just a few words will make him use up all his strength.
Yes...how can a real dying person have so much time to give his last words?
Silence followed.
There was a long silence.
Everyone knew that Han Yimo still had a lot to say, but the time left for him was obviously not enough, and a living life died in front of everyone.
Qi Xia frowned when she saw Han Yimo's dull eyes, and suddenly had a splitting headache.
He covered his forehead and squatted down, feeling as if something was about to come out of his head, and then let out a heartbreaking scream.
"ah--!!"
Everyone had not yet recovered from the fact that Han Yimo was dead, and then they were startled by Qi Xia's screams.
"Liar, are you okay?" Qiao Jiajin asked cautiously.
After half a minute of silence, Qi Xia slowly regained his breath and said, "I'm fine... Let's take a look at Han Yimo first..."
When everyone saw that there was indeed nothing strange about Qi Xia, they turned to look at Han Yimo's body with mixed feelings in their hearts.
A thought kept swirling in their minds.
Are they really dead?
After a person dies, will he die again?
"Han Yimo... was killed..." Xiao Ran said softly.
This sentence "being killed" woke everyone up.
Yes, what we need to consider now is not the issue of "will you die after death", but the issue of "murderer".
Han Yimo was still conscious when he was discovered, which meant that the giant sword had just pierced his abdomen.
In other words, the person who killed him had not gone far and was more likely to be hidden among the remaining eight people.
