Chapter 17 Time is limited, pink sky
At the fork in the road, a family of four split into two groups.
Gu Wenyue and Gu Wenxing went straight to the city center.
Time is limited and cannot be wasted.
It was extremely quiet along the way.
The road from the village to the city is not a major road or a national highway. Especially under the weather like last night, there were even fewer people traveling.
Therefore, there are almost no vehicles on the road.
The car passed quickly and the rain had just stopped. The rumble of wheels on the road and the sound of the two breathing at the same frequency seemed to be the only two sounds in the world, small and fragile, but full of vitality and vitality.
They drove for more than an hour before they saw a car that had rolled onto its side.
The car owner was lucky. The car only rolled over and there was no fire or damage.
The two stopped.
Gu Wenyue put her hand on the man's warm arm. The man was alive. She tries to contain people into the space.
This is a great opportunity to experiment. Everyone in the family can enter the space, but what about others?
Half a minute later, Gu Wenyue looked a little solemn.
Gu Wenxing pursed her thin lips and asked, "Isn't it okay?"
Gu Wenyue shook her head, the space was very repulsive.
I heard from my parents that the further into the end of the world, the worse the human living environment will be. If only the four of them can enter the space, even if it is a good thing, it may not be a good thing.
Gu Wenyue suddenly made a decision in her mind. Her future superpower would be the space system.
Or a space system that can only store things.
Anyway, my parents said that human beings' superpowers are all kinds of strange.
To repay the man for letting them try, they put his car upright and closed the windows.
As soon as the accelerator was stepped on, the off-road vehicle sped towards the city again.
Along the way, Gu Wenyue drove, and Gu Wenxing used a silenced pistol to destroy the cameras along the road one by one.
Their destination when going to the city is not a supermarket or a shopping mall.
But libraries and museums.
If these precious collections are not stored in space, they will probably be damaged in the end.
Books are the fire of civilization.
Whether damaged or burned to ashes, these collections do not deserve either end.
If humans can live openly and openly under the sun in the future, she will take out these collections.
In the huge city library, only a faint night light was on, and the staff had already gone off work.
The brother and sister looked through the glass and saw that the duty room where security guards were supposed to be was also empty.
There is a temporary notice posted outside the door, which probably means that you don't have to be on duty tonight.
Perhaps it was precisely because the officials were prepared that it was convenient for them.
Gu Wenyue took a deep breath and said, "I'll try."
There was a space in the basement that was redundant in both area and height. She thought it would be fine to just move the library into it.
The girl stood in front of the door and closed her eyes.
She silently thought about the library in front of her, even sketching its shape in her mind.
If you can do it, give it a try!
Gu Wenyue silently thought about taking the entire library into the space!
Gu Wenxing's expression was very solemn, and his eyes wandered around.
Everyone is sleeping now, the streets are empty, and the usually bustling urban area is eerily quiet at the moment.
Although many people carefully chose not to go out when the incident occurred, there were still many cars parked on the road that were twisted or rolled over. In more serious cases, there were blood stains under the cars.
Turning his head, he could even see a fire they had put out when they just passed by.
It was probably two cars that collided and the explosion occurred after the heavy rain stopped.
Fortunately, the location of the accident was far away from the building. Only the two cars were burned to the ground, and the people inside were probably burned directly to ashes.
Gu Wenxing's mind flashed back to the bright red children's phone watch on the ground not far from the accident.
His eyesight was very good and he could see that there was a sticker of a family of three on it. It must have been customized by his parents. Maybe there was also a phone number of his parents engraved in a corner.
It was probably ejected outside during an accident or explosion.
Gu Wenxing closed his eyes, and his attention fell on his sister in front of him again.
He wants to protect his sister in this cruel apocalypse.
In an instant, everything was empty. The huge library disappeared, leaving a deep pit on the ground.
That was originally the basement of the library.
Gu Wenyue tilted her head and thought for a moment. It would have been nice to collect some dirt on the road. It was a mistake. Otherwise, if this pit is left here, it will cause a lot of trouble to other survivors.
Fill it with what?
She remembered that there were many rockeries and lakes in the park not far away.
"Brother, let's go to the park quickly."
The girl fastened her seat belt and urged her brother hastily.
Gu Wenxing responded gently and started the car steadily. Soon, they slipped around the park and the park was razed to the ground.
Gu Wenyue randomly threw some rockeries or small buildings into the original location of the library, and then the two of them set off to the museum.
Time waits for no one.
The museum was also empty.
In one night, they emptied five libraries, four museums, and two outpatient buildings of tertiary hospitals.
There was a faint light on the inpatient department of the hospital, and there were probably many people inside. After the apocalypse, this place would be hell.
But there are no staff on duty in the outpatient building.
They even went in to buy some goods when passing by large shopping malls and supermarkets. When they encountered sleeping people, they immediately isolated them and saved every one they could.
As usual, half of the food and daily clothes in the mall are collected and half left.
However, they have collected all non-basic survival supplies such as tobacco, alcohol, toys, accessories, fashionable clothing, etc.
No one can ever have too much supplies.
Especially in the last days.
At five o'clock in the morning, the two of them retreated from a densely populated place like the city.
They also looted all the fashion stores, jewelry stores, flower shops, cosmetics stores, and gold stores along the road.
But fast food restaurants and snack bars, they simply skipped them.
At six o'clock in the morning, the dark clouds slowly receded, and wisps of bright red sky light squeezed down from the gaps between the thick clouds.
It turns out that the dawn this morning was also unusual.
As soon as he left the city, Gu Wenxing stepped on the accelerator.
The later you go back, the greater the variables.
At 6:30 in the morning, the entire sky took on a strange color of black with blood red.
They also stayed away from Jingshi completely.
By the time they saw the straightened car again, the sky had turned pink.
If you didn't know the cause and effect, you wouldn't have seen the strange scene last night and morning. The orange sun jumping out of the pink clouds would be romantic and beautiful.
But at the moment, no one thinks it looks good.
It's seven o'clock.
It was the time that my parents said I was about to turn into a zombie.
The owner of the car is a man in his thirties, wearing a suit, his hair should have been neatly waxed, and he looks like a salesman.
But he was unconscious at the moment, and his whole face wrinkled together unconsciously.
"Is he going to become a zombie?"
Gu Wenyue raised her head and looked into her brother's solemn eyes. Didn't notice his outstretched hand.
By the time she saw it, Gu Wenxing's hand had already pulled up the other person's eyelids.
Wen Yue's heart beat hard, her eyes widened, and she quickly slapped her brother's hand away: "You don't want your life!"
Gu Wenxing rubbed his sister's soft black hair, thinking in his heart that he must protect his sister and not let her fall to the point of wronging him and cutting off her hair.
"It's okay. Dad said it will take half an hour to turn into a zombie. Take out the elixir you prepared for us and try it? See if it has any effect?"
Gu Wenyue nodded obediently, with her palms facing upward, a plate of jade bottles appeared out of thin air.
This man has almost become the brother and sister's exclusive experimental subject.
She took out an antidote pill, pinched Gu Wenxing's mouth open, and threw it in quickly and accurately.
Gu Wenxing stretched out his hand, lifted the man's chin, stroked his neck, and the elixir rolled down his throat.
The man's face changed visibly.
