292, Endless Severance 25
After much persuasion, Father Jin finally made the final decision and refused to do so: "The cracks haven't come yet! We'll talk about it later!" He let the matter go.
At this time, he looked at his sister-in-law who had just spoken up with a complicated look. The sister-in-law hadn't spoken for a long time, and the first thing she said today was to let his daughter leave. Father Jin felt so complicated and uncomfortable.
Mother Jin was the same, and said with a forced smile: "Sister-in-law, are you willing to talk?"
Aunt Zhen looked at the person in front of her dimly, and said in a flat tone: "Either she leaves or I leave. I don't want to die with her." Mother Jin was anxious: "Sister-in-law!" Aunt Zhen lowered her head and didn't speak.
Yu Heng wanted to leave, but was persuaded by Father Jin and Mother Jin. He thought about it and decided to wait until the day he sensed the cracks before leaving. This matter was settled.
Since it was settled, Father Jin also told the public about it. He was a little scared of the farce in the daytime. That person had gone a little crazy! He was really afraid that his daughter would be hurt by someone who was emotionally agitated and unable to control himself. It would be better to tell the truth. Those who wanted to go together could go together, and those who didn't want to go together could just part ways.
If he were to say, his daughter was so capable, and everyone had seen it along the way. Although no one was agreed on who would be the "boss", those people listened to his daughter's opinions on where to turn and which road to take.
He thought that there were people who separated from his family, but there would always be people who were still willing to go together.
Sure enough, when Jin's father spread the news, it caused an uproar, and people kept asking:
"Brother Jin, is Xiaomei really a dreamer? Oh, what should we do!"
"Brother Jin, what do you mean, do you want to separate from us?"
"Who else is a dreamer? Come out now!"
In the end, only Jin Hengmei of the Jin family said that she was a dreamer. There was no second person, and no one could confirm whether there were other dreamers. You look at me, I look at you, but no one has come forward to admit it, and in fact, no one can find out.
This world is full of such unpredictable and unknown dangers.
You can choose to walk alone, as long as you can find a glimmer of hope on your own. But the current situation is too difficult, and it is too dangerous to walk alone. You cannot guarantee that you can be like a robot, keeping a high degree of vigilance every minute and every second to avoid all dangers. There is no guarantee that when you take the last step across the dangerous area, someone will reach out and help you when you are exhausted.
Humans are social animals. In the current crisis, they need companions more, not only for practical factors, but also for psychological needs.
After tossing and turning, half of the people separated from the original team, and half of the people were left by Yu Heng, and the two parties decided to go their separate ways.
Meanwhile, Jin's mother looked at her eldest sister-in-law in disbelief: "Sister-in-law, what did you say?"
"I said, I want to go with them, give me some of your things." Aunt Zhen spoke less, so her voice became a little low and hoarse, but the words she said were still clear: "Hurry up, they are leaving."
"Sister-in-law, you--" Jin's father also frowned, and after careful consideration, he knew what the eldest sister-in-law meant. She despised her daughter, and he was sorry for his eldest brother, and vowed to take good care of his sister-in-law.
But that was his own daughter! How could he abandon her like this? He couldn't do it.
"Stop talking, I said it's either me or her. Haha, you said you would help my husband take care of me, how can I compare to your Jin family's daughter. Stop dawdling, give me the things quickly——"
Aunt Zhen went to get the things herself, and Jin's father and mother didn't stop her. But Jin's grandmother told her not to take them randomly: "We have food to eat at home!" Later, she was stopped by her son, and Jin's father sighed: "Mom, give her some."
In this way, Aunt Zhen took most of the things and followed the group without looking back. After that, Jin's mother cried for several days, and Jin's father smoked all the cigarettes he had.
The Spring Festival arrived in chaos, and people had no energy to care about it.
Early in the morning of the third day of the New Year, it was snowing heavily outside, the sun hadn't come out yet, and the whole world was dark. Yu Heng woke up early, feeling really cold, so she got up to do gymnastics.
The cold weather made him feel uncomfortable. His hands and feet were always cold like ice. He slowly warmed up after doing a whole set of bodybuilding exercises.
He was about to do another set, and then he saw with his sharp eyes that the crack on the tall building in front of him suddenly moved. It opened and closed, and the shape of the crack twisted and turned, making his eyelids jump.
The crack seemed to be struggling. This weird thought emerged in Yu Heng's mind. He took two more steps to the door, and the wind and snow hit his face, but he still stared at it motionlessly. After about half an hour, several giant hands stretched out and grabbed the tall building below.
The broken stones and bricks fell down, hitting the thick snow silently. Yu Heng slowed down his breathing and stared at the weird scene in front of him.
The giant hands grabbed Jianzhuang and made a pulling motion - not the previous motion of pulling things in, but the appearance of leaning out with the help of the building!
Yu Heng was really frightened this time.
Everyone knows that the monster in the crack cannot get out, which is one of the important reasons why humans can survive to this day! With such a big hand or a thick tumor-shaped strip, it is foreseeable how big the monster's local area will be. If the monster can leave the crack and come to the ground, it will bring a greater disaster.
Even if the cracks behind began to move, the monster could only move within a range of ten meters near the cracks, which gave the survivors a gap to survive.
But what did he see now? Those eight hands were indeed trying to reach out, right? !
Yu Heng quickly went upstairs and stood on the balcony to take in the scene on the tall building in front. He was sure that he was not mistaken, because after several giant hands struggled to break it, a huge head stretched out. It was called a head, but in fact it had no facial features at all, and it was a shapeless tumor.
Just like childbirth, the head came out, and the other parts were smoother. Yu Heng watched the monster, which was more than 30 meters tall, come out of the crack, step down and flatten the building under his feet, turn around slightly and squeeze all the floors down, raise one hand, and casually pull up all the electric poles and wires.
As if it had found a fun toy, the monster screamed, and the eight hands moved together to grab the debris around it and throw and smash it, looking crazy!
Yu Heng sucked in a breath of cold air!
Some people were also woken up by the noise outside, mumbling: "Is it hail? Why is it so noisy?"
He went downstairs to wake everyone up: "It's not hail, it's monsters, get up!" He went to call the Jin family again. The monster was too big. If it came this way, it would crush everyone into meat patties with one foot!
"Oh, why did you wake us up so early on New Year's Day--" All the complaints disappeared when they saw the monster striding outside. Everyone stared at the giant in the ice and snow in amazement and forgot to say anything.
"Calm down and don't talk loudly--"
"Ah!!! Monster!"
The monster paused, then turned slowly. The face without facial features was blurred, and no one could see its expression, but it moved! It moved! It ran over here!
"Run!"
Yu Heng picked up Jin Hengjun, and Jin's father and mother helped Jin's grandmother and her family run away. "Follow me over here!" He said to Jin's father and the others. He knew the surrounding terrain very well. He turned into the alley, entered the empty door, avoided the attack range of the crack, and grasped every meter and inch just right.
During the days of escape, the Jin family had become accustomed to Yu Heng's ability, so they did not ask or question much, and just followed him.
The crowd scattered, and there were also people who followed the Jin family in the chaos. Yu Heng had to be thankful that the people who followed their family did not run and shout, otherwise it would be bad if the monster was attracted!
There were shouts from a distance from time to time. Yu Heng chose a place in his mind and took the Jin family to hide in a public toilet.
"It stinks here."
"Why don't we go somewhere else? The smell here is too bad."
Yu Heng stepped on the more than one-meter-high partition wall of the compartment and looked back through the small window. The figure of the giant monster was looming in the distance. It seemed to be a monster that had taken drugs, running around crazily, scratching and smashing, and the destructive power was too amazing.
Buildings kept collapsing and breaking, abandoned vehicles on the roadside were smashing everywhere, and the already devastated world was destroyed again.
"Where did that monster come from, Jin Hengmei, did you see it?"
Yu Heng said, "I saw it came out from the crack on the building opposite where I just spent the night." He added, "After it came out, the crack slowly closed."
"Oh my God..."
A man cursed angrily, "This is God's will to kill us!"
"Why would the monster come out! Didn't you say it wouldn't come out?"
They didn't dare to go out and stayed in the public toilet. As time passed, the sun came out. The winter sun is not strong, and the sunlight is weak. In addition to making the vision brighter and clearer, the survivors in panic can't feel the warmth brought by the sun at all.
"Hengmei, come down and rest for a while, your feet are not sore?" Jin Mu gently pulled Yu Heng.
"No." Yu Heng was still looking at the monster in the distance. The monster seemed to have played enough and planned to leave this area. He breathed a sigh of relief. The monster's figure was getting farther and farther away, and he could hardly see it. The sunlight came in through the window, making his eyes a little dizzy.
He was about to jump down from the partition wall, but suddenly a thunderous roar came, which frightened him so much that he staggered and grabbed the wall with his backhand. Jin Mu hugged him anxiously.
"Hengmei, come down quickly, don't fall."
He didn't care about these things, and quickly climbed up and looked out. He saw the monster making a shocking cry, and it seemed to be in great pain while running. But after it turned a circle in place, it changed its running direction and came to where they were hiding!
The monster came in the sun, and it seemed that something was constantly spraying on its body when it ran.
Yu Heng jumped down and shouted: "Get out quickly, the monster is coming this way!" He seemed to have infinite power and spirit. The others who were paralyzed by fear looked at his back and gritted their teeth to continue to follow him.
Run out! Run! Follow Jin Hengmei!
