Doomsday Wonderland

A subtle "click" sound, like a branch breaking, quickly cut through the morning air. Before the sound dissipated, Lin Sanjiu suddenly opened her eyes and sat up quietly.

...Even though she didn't step out of the cabin, she could still feel the forest wrapping around the camping area. When leaves blow, branches break, and birds fly over, they all make a quiet sound that is unique to the forest.

The night dragged a long iron-gray skirt behind her, and a thick fog hung in the sky, making the sky outside the window look chaotic. The sun had not yet fully emerged, and the cool air condensed into a layer of mist and dew on the glass.

Lin Sanjiu gently rolled out of bed, stared at the glass window, and slowly approached.

Last night, Libao lit a fire in the fireplace for a while. Compared to the forest park, which was soaked in the cold at night, the cabin was extremely warm.

She stretched out her hand and gently wiped away the fog on the window with a few fingertips - with a "squeaking" sound, the glass became clear bit by bit, revealing the true color of the outside world.

Deep dark red, yellow flesh color, a pair of round eyes that were motionless black - a stiff, unfamiliar face looking straight into the room outside the window, facing Lin Sanjiu's eyes.

Lin Sanjiu took a breath, stood up suddenly, stretched out her hand to open the window - the people outside seemed to be startled by her, turned around and ran away, shouting loudly as they ran: "They're awake! They're awake Come on! Get ready, they are coming out!"

It turned out to be another mental illness - Lin Sanjiu patted the window lattice and exhaled; the gift bag behind him was also startled awake by the cry. Only Qing Jiuliu, who had a hearty drink last night, still slept soundly. I don’t know the personnel.

He stood up and opened the door of the wooden house. The damp cold air from outside suddenly swept in along with the morning air. Before he could step out, Lin Sanjiu blinked and his consciousness suddenly rushed out, rolling in front of him. , a small black shadow flying towards her was thrown far away and disappeared into the forest.

"Puppy, what are you doing!" The skinny old man from last night emerged from his wooden house holding a basin. "Put the stone down for me!"

The man who had been stuck on the window glass just now, and was now called a puppy, bent down to pick up stones on the ground, and at the same time threw all the stones in his hand at Lin Sanjiu; his mouth was still talking. Shouted: "You want to lie to me, you are not human, I know you are not human... you killed the people on earth... it is you..."

Lin Sanjiu frowned and hit the flying stones with his consciousness, and all the stones flew out in all directions. The puppy stayed there for two seconds as if he had seen a ghost, and as if he had obtained a big piece of evidence. Shout: "Aliens!"

"Go back!" The old man put down the basin, moved his two thin legs like hemp poles, panted and walked over, and finally drove him away; he apologized to Lin Sanjiu again: "My old man got up early, so they got up early too and disturbed you..."

He had been deprived of nutrients for a long time, and under the gray sky he looked like a skeleton with a piece of skin hanging on it.

Naturally, Lin Sanjiu would not lose her temper with him, but just nodded. When she turned around, she saw two faces plastered on the window of another wooden house. As soon as they made contact with her eyes, the two faces immediately shrank back.

"I will boil some hot water in the morning," the old man pointed to his wooden house and said to Lin Sanjiu and the gift bag: "Before you go on the road, why don't you go over and wash your face and drink some hot water?"

Even though he hadn't said anything, he tried another way to remind himself that he was leaving - Lin Sanjiu couldn't help but feel a little funny, and didn't want to embarrass him, so she nodded; she was even more happy about the gift package, and asked if she could wash her hair by the way. hair.

Just like himself, the old man's wooden house also exudes a faint smell of decay and age. The old man introduced himself as Ke and joked to himself that this surname really brings down a lot of people around him - when he said this, his crazy son was in the corner of the room, staring at him with a look of caution and fear. Lin Sanjiu and two others.

"It's not easy to take care of them alone, isn't it?" Lin Sanjiu looked around the room and asked.

"Nothing is difficult," Old Man Ke struggled to carry a pot of boiling hot water. His thin, dry and blackened arms were covered with veins due to exertion. He poured a glass of water for each of them and said. : "If I hadn't thought about taking care of them, I would have died long ago."

It is all maintained by a little injection, and the body has long been exhausted. And old man Ke relies on such a skinny body to maintain the lives of several mental patients in the camping area - such a burden , even before the end, is unimaginable.

Glancing at the steam rising from the top of the plastic cup, Lin Sanjiu suddenly realized that she couldn't help at all - she could neither help old man Ke eat nor help his son get better.

"Little girl, do you want to wash your hair?" Old Man Ke had not forgotten the gift bag request. He put down the kettle and asked him: "My pot of water may not be enough. Wait for me to boil some more..."

Libao's shoulders were shaken, and then he looked away from nowhere - and immediately relaxed his brows.

"No, I won't wash it anymore," he smiled, "I won't bother you anymore."

Old Man Ke didn't show much politeness. He thought he was really low on energy. He sat down on the chair opposite the two of them and said, "Okay, okay... Then you drink water, drink water."

Even an evolved person would probably have his tongue scalded by the water. Lin Sanjiu just held the cup without moving, and was about to ask something else when suddenly there was another burst of shouting outside - Old Man Ke Just when he sighed, before he could stand up, the door of the cabin was opened.

A little man, who was as thin as Old Ke, was standing at the door with a gloomy and vigilant face. As soon as his eyes fell on Old Man Ke, he lowered his voice as if he was a spy making a report: "I just discovered something. Of the two abandoned aliens, one was unconscious and the other was being caught by a puppy..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Lin Sanjiu and the others in a blink of an eye, and immediately opened his mouth and could no longer speak.

Lin Sanjiu rubbed the center of his brows and heard Qing Jiuli's grunting and unhappy voice. Old man Ke looked embarrassed and hurriedly said, "I'll deal with this matter", stood up and walked out of the door.

After listening to the noise outside the door, Lin Sanjiu still felt uneasy, so she simply walked to the window and looked outside.

The location of Old Man Ke's wooden house just happened to take in most of the camping area; the windows on the other side were facing the wooden houses of several other mental patients, and one could see into their houses at a glance--it was originally separated by The curtains that opened the view were also removed, probably to detect abnormalities in time.

At this time, Qingjiuru was standing between the puppy and the old man Ke, frowning, rubbing his temples, with a painful look on his face - he was caught and yelled loudly in his ears before he woke up from a hangover, which was obviously frustrating. His headache became more severe; after a while, without knowing what the old man Ke said, Qingjiuru nodded and walked towards the wooden house.

Old Man Ke sighed on the spot, and after giving some instructions to the other mental patient, he walked tremblingly to Lin Sanjiu's wooden house and closed the door - this way, at least for the time being, he no longer had to worry about the big witch inside.

Lin Sanjiu finally felt relieved.

She had just returned to sit down when Qingjiuru opened the door and walked in. The crazy son in the corner was so shocked that his whole body trembled, and his square face trembled - he looked up lazily. Circle, Qingjiuru threw himself into the chair where Mr. Ke sat and crossed his legs.

"Is the great witch okay?" Lin Sanjiu asked.

"Why don't you ask me? She is much more comfortable than me." Qingjiuru looked as if the table and chairs were about to melt and flow down. He put his head softly on the table: "I have a severe headache now. It would be great if I could have a glass of whiskey..."

Lin Sanjiu ignored him and didn't call out of the wine cabinet. She knocked on the glass and said, "Only water."

Qingjiuru immediately groaned.

"Speaking of it...it's quite strange." Li Bao looked at his water glass, held his chin and said: "Several mental patients here actually have a common delusion - what's wrong is that they are aliens ."

Hearing this word, the man in the corner suddenly shrank.

He was left behind by his father and was alone in the same room with the "alien". His square face had long turned pale with fright. Qingjiuru glanced at him and smiled: "These father and son look really good." Totally opposite."

Listening to the sounds outside the wooden house, it seemed that Old Man Ke was trying to coax the mental patients back into the house; Lin Sanjiu, as an "alien", couldn't go out to help, so he had to sit there, bored. He looked at Old Man Ke's wooden house.

In addition to two beds and a set of tables and chairs, the old man had very few possessions, and he didn't know what kind of life he lived: the only two sets of clothes he had changed were hung on the coat rack together with towels; Besides, there is only a basin and a pair of slippers——

With a "squeak" sound, the door of the wooden house was pushed open, and old man Ke walked in with an embarrassed look on his face.

He held a somewhat old teacup in his hand and placed it in front of Qingjiureu, UU Kanshu www.uukanshu.net like a gift to apologize: "...No way, they will do this when they see outsiders. They think Except for the people in our camping area, the rest of the aliens are all wearing human skins... Well, they are usually easy to manage when no one comes, but not when someone comes."

Lin Sanjiu immediately understood why Old Man Ke always wanted them to leave - thinking that not only did she not help, but instead caused him trouble, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed; He smiled apologetically and said, "Thank you for the hot water. We'll leave immediately after drinking it."

As she spoke, she raised the cup to her lips. The water was no longer as hot as before. Holding a mouthful of warm water between your lips and teeth, it even felt quite comfortable - until Lin Sanjiu tasted the sweetness in the water.

Old Man Ke narrowed his eyes into two crescent moons and raised the corners of his mouth.

"Drink," he whispered, "you aliens."
