286, Endless Severance 19
The man walked forward slowly. Miraculously, the ugly giant hand stretched out did not attack him, but carefully rolled him up. It was completely different from the hunting posture Yu Heng had seen before.
The crowd exclaimed again, but he saw the people on Ming'an Road watching intently without any panic on their faces. It was obvious that they had expected it or were used to it.
The man was held into the crack by the giant hand in a friendly gesture. The wind was rustling in the crack, and the power of cutting the space was reveling, making cheerful noises. Yu Heng stared at the crack, but there was no response from the crack. The people outside began to conduct experiments.
Send the simulated robot into the attack zone first, so that no giant hand comes out. Then the simulated robot continued to walk forward, meter after meter, and then a giant hand quickly stretched out and rolled up the robot.
Then, a person got out of the car again, and was led into the crack again amidst the sound of people sucking their breath. But this time, the simulated robot walked forward as usual, step by step until it came to the crack. The strong wind tore the robot's skin and made an extremely harsh sound. But still no attack.
Yu Heng heard those people "say" happily: "Success!"
The car drove slowly out of the crowd and disappeared into the distance. The people who stayed started to work on the fence, and the other people on the roof of the tall building looked at each other.
"Um, that person went in? Isn't this harmful?!"
"Will we be eaten? Oh my god, it's so scary. Will we be sent in? What on earth is going on!"
The onlookers on the roof exploded. They never expected to see such a scene.
"That man is so pitiful."
Yu Heng went downstairs and climbed into the house through the window. The time was just right and the puppet substitute had just expired. He sat on the bed and thought for a while, then opened his laptop to check for news. Lucheng has restored its communication network, which is also an aspect that makes people more satisfied.
There have been relevant comments on the local forum in Lucheng. It seems that there are not a few people watching, and he is not the only one who is deeply shocked.
"Go in and get it, and wake her up by the way. It's time for dinner."
The voices of Jin's father and mother were heard at the door. Yu Heng stood up and opened the door: "What's wrong with parents?"
"Are you awake? Come here and get me a laptop. Your dad needs to use it." Jin Mu walked in and said, "Go wash your face and mouth. Your dad brought back dinner. I saw there was chicken."
"good."
Soon the two families sat at the dining table and started eating. Jin's father was tinkering with his notebook on the sofa. Jin's mother called him: "Let's do it after dinner! The food is almost cold."
"Here we come." Jin's father was sitting at the dinner table with a strange look on his face. Zhen Zhenguo asked, "What news did you hear outside? You don't look right when you take a meal home."
Father Jin told the news he heard: "Isn't there a crack on Ming'an Road? Someone went to see how to deal with the crack, and then some news came out..."
As Jin's father narrated, everyone at the dinner table fell silent. Only Jin Hengjun was too young to understand, and he was calling his parents, hoping to get attention. Grandma Jin picked up her grandson, coaxed her, and asked her son, "Could it be fake? We couldn't even run away when we saw the crack, and someone else was pushing it inside?"
A bunch of people thought this news was unreliable, but there were not only pictures but also videos on the local forum!
Father Jin has left a message on the official website of the Lucheng Safety Zone Command, asking about this matter. There are quite a few people who have left messages, but there has been no reply from the official website.
It wasn't until the crack on Ming'an Road was completely sealed that the official spoke to the outside world. Only then did Yu Heng know why the person was not attacked by the creatures in the crack, because that person was the "chosen person" and was called the Dreamer.
"...At the conference of the alliance countries, country x shared a research result. There is a kind of people in their country who have strange dreams."
The spokesperson on the screen is the country’s security minister. He is a man with a resolute appearance and a crisp voice. “There are many dreams, all about cracks. Maybe it’s a drop of water in the crack, or something. The prey in the monster's mouth are all linked to the crack. After these people were found, it was confirmed through experiments that the crack was friendly to them. "
"We found from the things that were spit out after the first crack disappeared, that there were a lot of corpses of missing victims and livestock pets. If the monster in the crack attacked us for hunting, it would be impossible to spit out the corpses. "
The Minister of Security expressed their speculation: "After contacting those who had dreamed, we hypothesized that the monster's aggression was not for food, but most likely to find companions."
The audience in front of the TV was in an uproar. "It turns out that our guess was correct. Although the cracks have not completely disappeared, at least the general direction is correct. Here we call on people who have special dreams to sign up with us and sign an agreement." You will be able to receive special national welfare subsidies. The specific benefits will be released later, so please read carefully.”
"Yes, we cannot guarantee their safety or whether they are still alive, so we will clearly indicate in the agreement the benefits that their families can receive. That is the country's compensation and respect for their selfless dedication."
Yu Heng, like Jin's father and mother, felt heavy after watching the news. Isn't it for hunting? Is it to find "toys"? After getting the toy you like, the monsters in the crack will stop moving?
This is incredible! Will those people survive?
"What, what kind of dream is this?" Aunt Zhen said fearfully: "If you have that kind of dream, you have to visit the crack?"
Father Jin jumped up, nervously looked at the doors and windows, and pulled the curtains, lowering his voice and saying: "No matter what dream it is! How can people not dream when they sleep? What you think about during the day will appear in your dreams at night. Maybe tonight you will dream about the crack!" His eyes were solemn, "No matter where we are, at home or outside, don't talk about this topic. We can't dream about it. Do you hear me?"
He admired the feat of sacrificing himself for others, but he was an ordinary person! His wife, children, and old mother were also ordinary people. He thought he didn't have that kind of mind. Even if the welfare was good, what would it matter? He still wanted to reunite with his family!
Zhen Zhenguo also nodded seriously: "I understand, brother-in-law, don't worry."
"Hengjun is learning to speak, so don't take him out to meet outsiders recently." This is to prevent children from not knowing the severity of the situation and saying inappropriate childish words.
"Oh, I know." Grandma Jin responded quickly.
It can be said that this news caused different reactions among the people who heard the news for the first time. The reason why heroes are heroes is that not everyone can and dares to be heroes.
Let Yu Heng say that he was unwilling to do so. At least, he was unwilling at this moment. No one would choose death if they could live.
However, he still read the welfare announcement released later. It was indeed very good, covering food, housing, work, etc.
Sacrificing oneself for the happiness of the family was indeed achieved in terms of material.
"Don't read it, go get the meal."
"Okay."
Yu Heng followed Jin's father and Zhen Zhenguo out to get the meal. Along the way and while queuing, he heard yesterday's news. The heat had not subsided at all, and it seemed to be getting hotter and hotter.
"Oh, I was wondering why my neighbor never came back after he went to the news to collect dreams. When I asked his family, they all hesitated. Now I think that family is so cruel. I don't even have a funeral..."
"The person is not sure if he is dead, why hold a funeral? It's messy and unlucky."
"How can he be alive? You know how scary the crack is. It can cut off a person's head in a flash. The monster inside is so big that it can kill a person with a slight pinch. Besides, what would a person eat in there? He will definitely not survive..."
Yu Heng heard a lot of gossip, and his head was still buzzing when he went home after dinner. The two families finished dinner in silence and went to rest.
He still went back to his room. The house they were assigned was a three-bedroom apartment. After moving in, Jin's father and his family used a curtain to divide the master bedroom into two rooms. Zhen Zhenguo pushed the Jin family to live there, so Jin's father, Jin's mother, and Jin's grandmother lived in the master bedroom with their children, and then Uncle Zhen and his wife lived in one room, and Yu Heng and Zhen Han lived in another room. Now Zhen Han was not at home, so he lived alone.
It was good to live alone, and it was convenient to do anything. He walked around the room and recited the book as usual, and then started to do the bodybuilding exercises when he had almost digested the food. Before going to bed, he practiced the mental method, and then washed and brushed his teeth and went to bed.
I don't know if it was really because the news he heard and saw during the day was too profound, and he thought a lot, he had many dreams, one of which was the most absurd and weird.
He was in an infinite space, and the black mist was flowing with a rustling sound of the wind.
"I am very small." This thought came to his mind. Then he heard the footsteps of something huge dragging.
Shashasha——
Boom boom boom——
He was a little panicked, and subconsciously found a stone to hide. The sound was getting closer, and the ground began to tremble. His vision went dark in an instant. Heavy breathing sounded above his head, accompanied by warm and wet gas.
His heart jumped! It was too real! His heart was about to jump out!
Something was on his shoulder, pressing him down so hard that he almost fell down. He couldn't help but look up. It was too big and too dark. He only saw a large shadow, and then woke up.
When he woke up, Yu Heng found that he was sweating, but he didn't feel like wiping it off. He was still thinking about the dream just now. Now the dream was still clear in his mind. Whether it was the sound or the touch, the force pressing on his shoulders was so real.
Crack dream.
He thought of this word at once, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything in the dream and he couldn't verify it.
He didn't tell anyone about this matter. The days passed like this, and they lived in Lucheng for nearly a year. Life has its ups and downs, but the biggest ups and downs was just a crack behind their community. Because it was handled in time, only two people were killed when the crack was formed, and no other casualties were caused.
Yu Heng saw the figure of the dreamer up close again. In fact, after more than a year, there is really nothing in common in the appearance of the dreamers. There are men, women, young and old, strong and thin.
It's really hard to figure it out. And he is sure that he is also a dreamer, because he had three more dreams after that.
Each dream is clearer than the previous one, but he ran. From the second dream, he was still by the stone, and the heavy object was still on his shoulders. That time he immediately rolled on the ground and ran away.
He woke up from the dream while running, and the next two times were the same. He was still running when he entered the dream, so he was sure that the dream had continuity.
Then run. It is not difficult to run in a dream with black mist flowing. He has good five senses and can distinguish sounds in the dark. The ground is shaking and there is something chasing him, but he can't catch up even once. He hasn't dreamed of a crack for three months.
Another reason why he is not so nervous is that he has no knowledge of the location of the crack. The news also said that dreamers can sense which crack summons them. It is not that any dreamer can enter the crack to have an effect. They must be seated in the right place.
If they can't sense it, it doesn't matter.
"Hengmei, check on your brother. I'm going to the bathroom."
Grandma Jin was calling him from behind. He answered and walked into the house. He put Jin Hengjun on his legs and shook him, making him scream with joy.
"Grandma, where are my parents?" The couple was there just now, and they are not at home all of a sudden?
Grandma Jin's indifferent tone came from the bathroom, and before closing the door, she sent a message: "I'm going to propose marriage to you."
