Chapter 25

... in the dark, the back of Lin Sanjiu's head was hurt faintly by something. It's been a long time. She was so sleepy that she didn't want to move. She just rolled over vaguely.

The next second, she suddenly sat up from her dream and breathed heavily.

Lin Sanjiu looked down at his trembling hand - dead? I'm dead? Everyone is dead—— She looked back dully and found that mather and Luze were sleeping side by side on the ground not far away. They frowned, as if they were having some nightmare. Although they still didn't wake up, their rising and falling chests proved that they were still alive.

So, that was a dream just now? Lin Sanjiu got up from the ground and still felt his hands and feet cold and soft all over. The moment she died, the moment her bones and internal organs were crushed, the moment she slipped into endless darkness, the kind of pain that was almost unreal... She fought a hard cold war. Are these dreams?

She got up, opened the door and stepped out of the car. She urgently needs to breathe some fresh air to clear her mind

Just stepped on the ground outside the car, suddenly a harsh "you are my little apple" suddenly rang, tearing the night.

Lin Sanjiu's body paused. I heard it again, just like last time... No, it should be said to be like in a dream.

The noisy bell didn't ring as long as it did in a dream. On the contrary, it was quickly broken by someone after singing a few sentences.

The night returned to its former silence.

Lin Sanjiu didn't move, quietly staring at the direction of Citroen.

After a long time, the vole still didn't come out to wake them up.

Just when she was a little impatient and planned to walk over and have a look, she heard a low cry of surprise in the bus, and then mather shouted, "Luze! Little wine!"

Lin Sanjiu hurriedly rushed back to the carriage. At this time, Luze also suddenly took a breath of air conditioning, woke up and sat up - the three people's eyes suddenly crossed in the air, and then found that the faces of the others were all white.

"I dreamed that I (we) were all dead!"

Almost at the moment of eye contact, the three people said in unison.

"Eh... What's going on?" Luzer was the first to react, "did you also dream that you were dead?"

"It's not just yourself..." Lin Sanjiu's face was gloomy. "I dreamed that the four of us were dead. Talk about your dreams first!"

Just like the sequence of death, Luze was the first to say, "that dream just now is too real, isn't it? I dreamed that we were driving to the factory area, when suddenly a degenerate fell off the roof, which broke the glass on the other side, and gave my stomach..."

His face was so pale that he could hardly speak.

"Hey? How could it be like this? In my dream, you were attacked by degenerate species, and as a result, your truck turned and I hit it..." mather looked frightened, staring at Luze with widened light brown pupils. "As a result, I was seriously injured and was struggling to climb out of the driver's seat, and then -"

"Then there was an explosion and you died." When Lin Sanjiu interjected, he felt cold sweat all over his body.

"How did you know?"

"Because when all this happened, I was on one side..." Lin Sanjiu closed his eyes and seemed to return to that moment: "after you died, my truck rushed back and crushed me and voles... It was like God's nonsense, killing us all!"

"What's going on... Are our dreams connected?" Luze murmured to himself.

Mather and Lin Sanjiu frowned and had nothing to say for a moment. Just when the atmosphere stagnated between them, the voice of voles sounded at the door: "... Are everyone up?"

I don't know if it's an illusion. Lin Sanjiu felt that there was still a shiver in his voice.

Did he have the same dream?

As if to confirm the thoughts of the three people, the vole put his head in nervously and said, "I said something. Don't scold me. I just... Dreamed that we were all dead. Don't say I'm unlucky, but we really need to be careful today. That dream is too realistic! Hey, what's the matter with you? Why do you look at me with this expression?"

Lin Sanjiu felt that she had a splitting headache. She waved to the vole and said, "we too... Come in. It seems that we have to take care of this matter."

The vole "Oh", got on the bus, and the four people sat in a circle.

... it seems very clear that the four people experienced a dream together for no reason - and it is amazing that although the time of death comes first and then, the details in each dream can be perfectly matched.

For example, the bang that mather heard probably came from the degenerate species that killed Luze - the degenerate species should have run all the way from the top of the bus to the top of the truck, and then attacked Luze - even Lin Sanjiu was hungry halfway, ate a cookie, or the joke that voles told Luze. Everywhere, it was confirmed by each other.

Listening to the heated discussion of the three people, Lin San, who was puzzled, looked up, breathed out, and then froze.

"Wait...!"

"What's the matter?" All three looked at her in bewilderment. "What do you think?"

Unexpectedly, Lin Sanjiu asked a completely irrelevant question: "Mather, what is the route of this bus?"

Mather thought, "it seems that it's either 89 or 90. I can't remember, but it should be about the same."

"... look." Lin Sanjiu pointed to the circuit diagram hanging above the drop off door.

The stop signs on the route map have disappeared, and the only thing is a huge, bright red "2".

"I remember wrong? Is this a No. 2 bus?" Mather looked at Lin San wine in confusion, "but is this very important, little wine?"

Lin Sanjiu's eyes fixed on the two words for a long time, suddenly jumped up and scolded a dirty word: "I X!"

"What happened?" The other three people asked one after another.

"I think this thing looks familiar! I remember!" As Lin Sanjiu said, he felt a piece of hair stand up on the back of his neck. "I... I saw this thing in my dream just now. The difference is that it shows 3 in 'dream', not 2."

She glanced at the three faces one by one, and accentuated her tone: "I have been in this city for several years, and I have never seen such a thing! All buses here should have a route map! That is to say, this number is later!"

Mather suddenly thought of something, ah, covered his mouth.

Lin Sanjiu's dignified voice seemed to be full of kilograms: "don't you understand? This shows that otherwise we are in a dream at the moment, or the matter of death is not a dream at all!"

Luze subconsciously pinched his arm and reacted. "I'm 100% sure that I'm not in my dream now... It's strange. If we all die once, how can we be fine now?"

Lin Sanjiu was about to speak, but he was attracted by the low voice of voles.

"It's a number... The first time it was 3, we died, and then it became 2... Is this the countdown? That is to say, we still have two chances."

Lin Sanjiu saw voles like this for the first time since four people were together. He hung his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, but somehow, the atmosphere around him felt indescribable

She took a deep breath and said, "in fact, I think so."

The air solidified again, and everyone fell into meditation.

"Is there a time limit for this thing?" Lu Ze hugged his arm and first broke the silence: "if there is any, we just need to sit here and wait for its time limit to pass safely before we start on the road?"

Mather sighed, "I'm afraid it's not so simple. After all, what is this... Why does this happen..."

Before mather finished sighing, the vole suddenly broke in, The tone was surprisingly firm: "I think it's definitely not good to sit here. Who knows whether there is a time limit for this? If we keep waiting, will something else happen? These are unknown. However, the road we walked last time and the danger we will encounter have been clear... So I think it's better for us to start carefully this time."

Lin Sanjiu couldn't help glancing at the vole again.

No matter how many fallen species have been killed or what kind of danger they narrowly escaped from death, one thing is self-evident nonsense: no one alive has ever died.

However, just now, Lin Sanjiu experienced a death - a death that was true and clear, with the body and mind completely eliminated. The impact of death can't be compared with anything in the world: it is the dark cloud that shrouds human beings from the beginning of their birth, and it is the ultimate terror that all wise men can't avoid.

Even now, when recalling the moment when he died, Lin Sanjiu couldn't help shaking.

But vole has been able to analyze the situation so calmly... She couldn't help but praise: "vole, I can't see that you can be so calm after such a thing."

The vole, who was praised by her, instantly returned to its normal appearance, smiled a little slickly and said, "Hey, a little person like me, who lives a cheap life, has earned money until now. How dare I be fragile?"

Lin Sanjiu withdrew his eyes and didn't speak.

Vole's words quickly convinced everyone. Several people discussed for a while, and soon reached a consensus: this time, according to the vole, start with extra care. As we have been on guard, I think several people will probably be safe this time, right?
