291, Endless Severance 24

On the way, Yu Heng and his team met the rescue team from Lucheng who arrived late. It was called a rescue team, but it was better to call it a material delivery team. Because there was no safe place for the survivors, the authorities tended to let the survivors "move freely" by themselves. If they were dispersed, they would be more flexible in avoiding risks.

After leaving food for them, the rescue team left in a hurry. They still had to rescue the trapped victims in the crack area.

"So are we going to the city?"

"Why don't we not go? Let's find a place to rest first. Didn't the rescue team just say that they will send food tomorrow? They will broadcast to notify us then. Anyway, there is food to eat, so it doesn't matter where we stay?"

Yu Heng and his family also stayed, so after a week of hiding from place to place, the number of people in the team became fewer and fewer. When the crack came, not everyone could hide in time, and the companions who could hide were eventually separated.

Food was delivered every day, and planes were always flying in the sky. One day, a transport plane was hit by a fast-moving crack, and half of the fuselage fell to the ground, igniting a blazing fire. The fire spread to the nearby hay, and then burned the wooden doors and windows, and soon a raging fire broke out.

Everyone could only watch from a distance, as if the fire had burned all their future. What was the point of living like this?

But the sentimental mood could only last for a few seconds. Soon, the crack that bit off the transport plane seemed to have discovered prey here and rushed over with a roar.

The sound of the air being cut was very terrifying, comparable to thousands of iron nails scratching glass at the same time, and people scattered.

Sadness and grief were not allowed by time. All the survivors could do was to keep running, running, running, running!

The camera pulled diagonally from the ground to the air, and countless black gaps opened and closed as if swimming freely in the water. During the movement, high-rise buildings collapsed and the ground cracked. The tiny humans caught in it could only go with the flow.

This year, the short one year and three months of the Lucheng and ?cheng safety zones collapsed completely, and the organized forces were dispersed again. The survivors who lined up to enter Shuangcheng and other safety zones under construction lost their survival goals, and fleeing became the mainstream again.

In despair, the number of people who committed suicide gradually increased. They howled and rushed to the cracks, and the last cry kept crushing the hearts of other survivors. Helplessness and hopelessness spread like death. Yu Heng also found that Jin's mother had some psychological problems and specially provided psychological counseling for her. As for Aunt Zhen, she refused to communicate with others.

After the cracks began to move, people seemed to be unable to live in peace, and they always rushed to the next building for refuge.

Yu Heng led the way in front, Jin's father supported Jin's grandmother, Jin's mother held the child, and the family and other companions on the same road walked forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow. When walking over the edge of the crack, you have to shrink your stomach and body, almost stepping on the tip of a knife.

The big hand brushed across his chest, and Yu Heng pulled in his stomach and inhaled to wipe it. A strange stench, with the unique decay and dilapidated smell of the cracks, entered his nose, causing him to feel nauseous.

"Come here, Mom." He finally squeezed through and reached out to take Jin's mother. Jin Hengjun hugged him and kicked his legs to throw himself into his arms. He took Jin Hengjun and clamped him under his elbows. Jin Hengjun hugged him with all four limbs.

"Alas, this road is too difficult, it's really scary." Jin's mother came over with a pale face, and she was in no mood to say that her youngest son always annoyed his sister and what happened just now.

Jin's father also wiped his sweat: "Finally got out." He looked back at the intersecting cracks behind him, still with lingering fears.

"Hurry up, hurry up!"

A group of people hurried to leave the area that was trapped by the cracks, fearing that they would be trapped again. Yu Heng ran in the front with Jin Hengjun. This was his position after many crises. In the eyes of Jin's father and others, his daughter was extremely smart. She calculated the dangerous area and actually found a vacuum gap for them to get out.

Between the two cracks, giant hands or strange strips of shapeless objects were madly grabbing and sweeping. Only his daughter had the courage to walk over first. The tall and thin figure shuttled between the giant hands, as if walking on a single-plank bridge to hell.

Forget it, forget it, don't think about it, Jin's father shook his head and shook off his thoughts, otherwise his heart would beat wildly again!

After leaving this area, it was not actually light.

"Another crack is coming!"

The crowd encountered a problem again and had to run again. The previous cars had been abandoned because they had no gasoline, and now they could only run on their legs.

"Ah, help!"

"It's chasing Lao Lu!"

Yu Heng panted and stopped to look to the left. Sure enough, the crack followed a man named Lu in their team. The others looked at the direction where Lao Lu left with surprise, joy and fear. Suddenly, one of them angrily cursed: "It turns out that he is a dreamer! Fuck him..." Finally concluded: "He deserved to die!"

"I didn't expect it. Lao Lu didn't tell us. Lao Chen, you are the most familiar with him, how come you don't even know this!"

Lao Chen's face was dark: "He didn't tell me either, otherwise I wouldn't get so close to him!"

"Forget it, stop cursing, he doesn't want to." Someone tried to smooth things over: "Who wants to be a dreamer? Everyone calm down."

"I can't calm down!" A man kicked a stone on the ground to vent his anger, and looked around fiercely, saying word by word: "Who is the dreamer among you? Stand up and get out! Don't hurt me!"

His eyes were full of madness, like a frenzied beast, as if as long as someone nodded to acknowledge the identity of the dreamer, he would show his sharpest fangs and bite and remove the things that threaten him.

Yu Heng was also shocked by such eyes. In fact, humans are the most terrifying creatures. They don't have a hard and solid shell and a tall and soaring body, but they can show a terrifying momentum, no worse than wild beasts.

He was also a little worried. Although he had dreamed, he never had a sense of a crack. This is very different from other dreamers. The Dreamer Association is not only responsible for the issuance and implementation of welfare subsidies, but also has an important function: matching cracks for dreamers. This matching is two-way and may also be plural.

That is to say, a dreamer may be marked by one or more cracks (the Dreamer Association defines this kind of dream connection as a crack mark), and a crack may also mark several dreamers.

In the past, when the cracks were still within the controllable range, in order to quell the activities of monsters in a crack, it was necessary to send the dreamers marked by it into it, and the number was generally more than one. A human may also be marked by several cracks, and at this time, the Dreamer Association needs to integrate and reasonably allocate resources, and it is imperative to maximize the benefits of the dreamer's sacrifice.

Having said so much, there is actually only one thing to explain, that is, Yu Heng is not a typical dreamer.

The movement of the cracks brought more nightmares to the dreamers, but no cracks had ever found him.

But he was not sure that there would be no cracks in the future, and he was now a potential bomb. This man was worried for a reason. This world is too volatile, which makes the survivors feel nervous. It is normal to stay away from dreamers who will attract cracks.

"Say it! If you are, get out of here!"

"Don't get excited. We have all come through this together. You are too cruel."

"Who is cruel? They are the ones who are cruel! They are dreamers and they let the cracks chase us without saying a word. Isn't this harming people?" The man continued to speak harshly: "You don't want to say it now, right? You want to get away with it and let everyone block the cracks for you, right? Okay! Don't let me catch you. I will break your legs and throw you on the street, and let the cracks take you away!!"

The atmosphere was quite tense. After finding a place to stay, the group of people divided into several small groups to talk. Yu Heng's family also gathered together. Seeing that her daughter's face was serious and she seemed to be saying something important, Jin's mother was so nervous that her heart was about to jump out.

They had just escaped from the predicament, and they hadn't had a good day yet!

She held Yu Heng's hand and asked expectantly: "Xiaomei, don't tell mom, you are, you are-" She is not a fool! The person walking in front of her got angry because of the dreamer, and her daughter turned around and looked like she was going to say something important. She was afraid!

Yu Heng nodded: "I am."

As soon as she nodded, the faces of Jin's father and mother changed. Grandma Jin asked hurriedly: "What is it? What is it?! What are you two still talking about!"

After asking clearly, Grandma Jin's face changed: "Why didn't you say such an important thing earlier!" Seeing her son's bad face, she couldn't say anything more hurtful after all, and could only sigh heavily: "Why did you say it now..." Fortunately, there was no crack to find the door, otherwise it would hurt people.

Jin's father said that he had asked everyone not to tell it before, even if they really dreamed, they would only keep it in their hearts.

"But that was in the past! Now the cracks can move on their own. I think it must be because the dreamers haven't got it yet, they can't wait and come to find it!"

"The reason why I didn't say it is because I didn't sense the location of the cracks." Yu Heng repeated his guess and finally said: "But it's still quite dangerous. I'm telling you now to let my parents make a decision. Should we separate or something? I tend to separate and live alone."

"Separate."

"No!"

"No!"

"Separate."

Half and half, Grandma Jin and Aunt Zhen agreed to separate, while Jin's father and mother opposed.

"Mom--" Father Jin said to Grandma Jin: "Hengmei is my daughter, your granddaughter!"

Grandma Jin picked up the ignorant Jin Hengjun and pushed him in Father Jin's face: "Look, this is also your son, my grandson! And you, you are my son! It's too dangerous for Hengmei to be around us. I'm old and can't run fast, your wife is not strong, and Xiaojun is so young... If the crack chases our family, how can we run away?"

It's rare for her to talk about the truth. She looked at Yu Heng and said: "Hengmei, I'm telling you this, if I were a dreamer, I would stay away from you! In life, relatives are the closest people, and we must think carefully for our relatives. You are also very capable, even if you go out alone, you can live well, I believe you."

Yu Heng smiled helplessly. He didn't expect anything from Grandma Jin, so he wasn't disappointed.

Father Jin said firmly: "No, I absolutely don't agree!"
