"My world... Is over?" Qiao Yuan Temple turned his head, looked at the cars still roaring on the highway, and muttered.

At least as far as her eyes are concerned, there is no half similarity with the image of the end of life depicted in the film or novel: the traffic rules are still in charge of the road, and the display screen for detecting the speed in front is also working as usual, indicating that the power system is intact; There is no fire, no smoke, no ambulance whistle, and no call for help.

"It's a little different," the young man looked out along her eyes, and obviously thought of the same place. "At first, I thought I was lucky, and random transmission could fall into a world six months before the end."

This sentence itself is enough to generate a hundred more questions; But Qiao Yuan Temple bit his lips and didn't ask any questions. The young man outside the car smiled and said, "forget it, I have no obligation to persuade you. Deformed people are everywhere. When you see them again, remember to pretend not to see them. I'm leaving, and I wish you -"

When he said this, he also stood up straight from outside the car; Qiao Yuan Temple excites the spirit to react, quickly unlock the car and shout out the window, "get on!"

The young man paused and bent down again. His clear eyes widened slightly in doubt, making him look a little like a small animal.

"... aren't you afraid I'm crazy?"

"You knocked down a policeman, so you can't continue to wander outside," Qiao Yuan Temple looked up in the rearview mirror, simply stretched his arm to open the door of the co driver's seat for him, and urged, "come up quickly, I'm afraid others have noticed us."

The young man didn't seem to expect her to have such an attitude, and burst out laughing. Qiao Yuan Temple looked at him and was a little worried. He sped up and said, "whether it's the end of the world or not, the social rules are obviously still working. You saved me, and I can't let you get caught. Can you get on the bus quickly?"

"Okay, okay, I see,"

There was still a half smile on the corners of the young man's mouth and cheeks, as if he didn't feel how serious her worry was. He walked around the front of the car and opened the door of the co driver's seat. As soon as the door opened, the sea breeze outside the car immediately rushed in and fell into the seat with his body, as if it also brought in a part of the salty, blue and free sea.

Qiao Yuan Temple was stunned, withdrew his eyes, and fired the car again.

She looked out - on the ground outside, the policeman was still lying face down, and he hadn't woken up from his coma, and he couldn't see what his face was like now. She didn't dare to think about it any more. She bypassed the policeman and hurried back to the road. She kept scanning the rearview mirror while driving, for fear of seeing a police car catch up.

"I'm a little worried about whether a passing car has called the police," she felt the young man cast several eyes at her and explained to herself. "We didn't delay long just now, did we? But it should be less than two minutes in a few words."

"Don't you worry about the end of the world and the deformed people, but about this?" The young man in Yu Guangli looked a little funny.

"It is because of what you said to me that I am more worried." Qiao Yuan Temple accelerated the speed and left several cars behind in a row, saying, "if it's still the same here as before, it's not a big deal even if you're caught. I can prove that you're trying to save me, you can find a defense lawyer, or even pay for bail... You can go according to the normal procedures, so as not to cause any harm to you personally."

However, the world is obviously different. Deformed people have been everywhere, and it is impossible for only one law enforcement officer to become the so-called "degenerate species"; When the rest of the transformants realized the real reason why the policeman was attacked, normal legal procedures could not protect him.

The young man also understood what she meant, but he seemed a little surprised. He gave a "Oh" and said after a quiet moment: "... So you believe me so soon?"

Qiao Yuan Temple is a person who has been trained in scientific thinking, which makes her more reluctant to resist negation when facing unknown things. She just glanced at the young man in the co driver's seat and said, "I won't draw such a conclusion for the time being."

He didn't seem to care whether she believed him or not. He shrugged, smiled and said, "OK, I'm not in a hurry. My name is yingshuian, and you?"

It's strange, but it doesn't seem strange considering that it's a person's name from another world - after all, she can't even tell what race the other person is.

Qiao Yuan Temple announced his name and asked him to explain all kinds of reasons from the beginning: what is the end of the world, what is the degenerate kind, and who is he. This time, the amount of information is not small. It's not easy to say it clearly and comprehensively, but yingshuian did it in a few words.

Although he explained clearly, Qiao Yuan Temple dared not say how much he really accepted and believed. She just listens attentively while driving; Listening, she turned her eyes and found that yingshuian was actually extending a hand to her cheek.

Qiao Yuan Temple was so surprised that he almost crashed the whole car into the next driveway and shouted, "what are you doing?"

Sakura Shuian was also startled by her: "I just look at your face -"

"Then what are you doing?" Qiao Yuan Temple has become a frightened bird since it was caught by the policeman.

Sakura Shuian pointed to his cheek and said, "I told you not to be afraid. The place where you were caught on your face has been reddening, and it is getting redder and redder."

When Qiao Yuansi finally got off the highway and found a chance to look at her face carefully, the mirror turned down and surprised herself: several thick blood red scratches crossed her cheek and extended from the corner of her eyes to her chin; Although nearly half an hour has passed, the color is not only not light, but more and more dark, close to purple, and even floating around the scratch are patches of blood spots, which are shocking at a glance.

"When he grabbed my face, he used a lot of strength. He pulled a finger in the corner of my eye, as if he were going to pull my face off." She stopped by the side of the road and muttered, "it's just that my skin didn't break, and I didn't expect it..."

Yingshuian waved to her and motioned for her to extend her face.

Qiao Yuan Temple looked at him, hesitated for a moment, bit his lip, and turned his head sideways.

Yingshuian came up close, and his face was slightly heated by his breath; As soon as she touched each other's eyes, she slightly turned her eyes away - his slightly blue eyes were immersed in the cold snow white. When his face was expressionless, it was like the cold air on the high mountain snow field. Although it was clear and thorough, it made people dare not look more. In indescribable tension, she clutched the fabric of her pants and waited for her slightly cool fingers to press her cheeks.

However, he did not touch her face. From the remaining light, she could see that yingshuian's hand, which was about to be lifted, was suddenly put down again; Staring at her for a while, his eyebrows became tighter and tighter, and his face became more and more serious.

Qiao Yuan Temple's palms were full of cold sweat. Finally, he couldn't help sitting up straight, turned his head and asked him, "what's the matter with me?"

Sakura Shuian looked that she hadn't touched her finger and twisted her fingertips a few times, as if she wanted to twist the dust that didn't exist on her fingers.

"How far is it from your home?" He turned his eyes and said, "I think you'd better go back now."

... according to his tone, he almost said "eat something good now".

Qiao Yuan Temple took a shivering breath and felt his hands and feet cold. He didn't know how to restart the car. She didn't go back to the highway and drove along the intercity streets; After walking for a while, she broke the silence in the car: "you can say it frankly, I can stand it."

Sakura Shuian glanced at her. "Well, you should be about to become a degenerate."

It's too straight.

Qiao Yuan Temple clenched the steering wheel tightly, and his joints turned white. "Tell me more... How did you know?"

"Doomsday world, as the name suggests, is generally a destroyed human society. Most humans are buried together, and only a small part can survive. Some of this small part have developed into degenerates, and some have developed into evolutors - but this world is obviously not the case."

Yingshuian deliberately spoke slowly, and Qiao Yuan Temple realized it. She is very grateful, because her current state, even if described as "six gods and no masters", is too optimistic; Having a person talking beside her is equivalent to providing her with a sense of order in the impermanence and chaos - it's like falling into a fast flowing river, but catching a rope.

"I don't know why, everything works normally in this world, and there are few dead people. The degenerate species with facial deformation account for the vast majority of the population. So I have been secretly observing them in the past few days."

When he mentioned the deformed people, he used "them" instead of "them" - when he mentioned the fallen species of other worlds, yingshuian used "them". Qiao Yuan Temple didn't know what the difference meant, but she silently remembered it in her heart.

"I found that if you are a normal person and your face will not deform, then you have two possibilities, either you can see their deformation, or you can't see their deformation. For normal people who can't see it, the degenerates won't bother them at all, and they still work and live around those normal people as before... Because as time goes by, those normal people who can't see their deformation will naturally open themselves It began to deform gradually, as if it had been imperceptibly affected. I can't say exactly how long this time is, because I've only been here for four days. When I came, the examples I observed were probably in the process of deformation. "

Qiao Yuan Temple exhaled and stared at the road ahead. At the green light, a little girl in school uniform passed the zebra crossing and sent ice cream to her mouth. Every time she opened her mouth, her face disappeared into the black hole in her mouth. When she closed her mouth, her facial features slowly fell back to their original place.

"If you can see it and let them know that you can see the deformation, it's bad." Yingshuian is also looking at the little girl, He said softly without changing his face: "Having the ability to 'recognize' abnormalities itself means that you can no longer naturally deform and become one of them. The primary goal of the degenerates seems to be to turn more people into their companions. When this is not guaranteed, they will start to kill people. When the patrolman grabs your face, he should have used some means to infect this deformation to you like a virus."
