Lost Narrative Poetry

Maybe she had a good enough rest. When Xia Ran woke up, it seemed to be around twelve o'clock in the night.

The outside world is not completely dark. Although it cannot compare with the sight of the city that never sleeps day and night with thousands of lights shining brightly, there are still many remaining lights.

After all, the power system has not been completely paralyzed. Whether it is the lights inside the building or some street lights, they are still on at this time. These scattered lights are like sparse stars dotted in the night sky.

At first glance, it looks like the night view of a warm and quiet town. Although there are not so many bright lights, it still has a unique flavor... However, if you look closely, it will make you shudder——

In many road areas illuminated by street lights, you can see heads shaking, and many human-shaped figures swaying between the light and shadow, aimlessly making low, inhuman sounds, wandering around.

This situation is quite strange, and one can't help but think of whether there are a larger number of such human figures in the darkness without lights, tirelessly looking for food at night?

Xia Ran, who was standing by the window, didn't feel that much. He just thought about it doubtfully. After all, from his point of view, the visible area naturally belongs to the area near the department store, which means that the area nearby Many dead zombies appeared in the area.

Many of them are outside the simple defense lines built by cars, swaying, unconsciously growling, and colliding with each other.

Although there was no zombie wave, and there was no large-scale breakthrough of the simple defense line, the number was indeed much higher than during the day.

Because Xia Ran set a fire in the commercial plaza not far next door, which attracted a large number of dead zombies around, and all of them were saved, so the density of dead zombies in this area should have become special. What's missing is right.

And the remaining ones were cleaned up one after another by the protagonist group during the day.

I dare not say that there are no zombies in this area, but there should be only a few sparse big cats and kittens left, and they are mainly concentrated in the surrounding buildings.

When Xia Ran came back in the afternoon, she didn't see any dead zombies. Killing some casually was not enough to calculate the points.

Then the question arises. There were not so many dead zombies in the afternoon. How come after he slept for a while, there were so many dead zombies gathering near the defense line that the protagonist group and his group had just built during the day?

What caused them to gather here?

There shouldn't be much noise, and if anything special happened, his left hand, which had been paying attention to the outside world during his rest, would also remind him.

After pondering for a while, Xia Ran had a vague guess, but it was just a guess for the time being.

He did not rush out to solve the problem, but went to the bathroom to wash up briefly, and then opened the door refreshed and went out. In the corridor outside were Takashi Komuro, Yako Busujima and others, all of whom were uneasy. holding weapons.

No matter who they were, they all looked anxious and hesitant. They seemed to feel that they needed to do something, but they didn't know whether it was a good thing to do, so they seemed hesitant.

"Classmate Xia Ran, are you awake? Just in time, I have something to tell you. Those zombies outside..."

Hearing the sound of the door opening, everyone turned their heads subconsciously and looked, suddenly surprised and happy. Busujima Yaozi quickly stepped forward and spoke in a hurry.

Xia Ran was not surprised. After all, there was only a wall and a door between them. At such a close distance, he already knew that these people were waiting for him outside, so he just raised his hands and said with a hearty smile. Hello:

"Good evening, everyone, have you had your supper?"

"Eh?...No, I didn't eat." Busujima Yako was stunned for a moment after being interrupted, and replied subconsciously.

"That's just right. I haven't eaten either. Let's go together!" Good at it..."

"This...this...if it is at night, it is best to properly replenish energy when eating late-night snacks. Do not eat them as a meal. Foods with too much fat are not suitable because they will cause too much burden on the gastrointestinal tract and easily Getting fat..."

Yako Busujima was disturbed in his thoughts, and his train of thought was directly distorted for a moment. He completely forgot what he wanted to say just now, and just answered Xia Ran's question in a daze.

"Is that so, does that mean you have to pay attention to the heat?" Xia Ran touched her chin and nodded thoughtfully.

"Hey! Wait a minute! What's going on with you two! Is now the time to talk about this kind of thing?" But the pink-haired twintail next to him reacted in time and yelled frantically, holding his hands on his head He scratched his head and messed up his beautiful long pink hair.

"Huh? Is there something wrong?"

Xia Ran was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to think of something, and suddenly he had a look of understanding on his face. He waved his hand very generously and said so.

"Could it be that you want to come too? It's no problem. You can eat whatever you want, just feel free to do so. You're welcome!"

"It's not like this! And just think about it! Can your thinking circuit be more normal?" Saya Takagi breathed out, and then became even more crazy. The twin ponytails really wanted to show off their teeth. The feeling of dancing.

Is this person's nerves too thick? I always feel that this guy’s painting style is different from mine and others!

"But it's already night, what are you going to eat if you don't have a late night snack?" Xia Ran couldn't help but take a small step back under such high decibels, then he picked his ears with his little finger and sighed.

"It's already one o'clock in the morning! It's not a night!"

"Eh? Is that so?" Frowning, the young man calmed down his expression, pinched his chin in confusion, and his face became serious.

After a while...

"So, is it because it's a new day... we can't order midnight snacks, should we say breakfast?"

"..."

"..."

I don’t know why, but a cold wind suddenly blew in the corridor.

…

…

Ten minutes later.

The main entrance on the first floor of the shopping mall.

"So, if you want to do anything, you must first replenish your physical strength!" Xia Ran swallowed the food in her mouth, crumpled the snack bag in her hand, and threw it aside.

The people behind him all had complicated expressions on their faces. The reason was this, but they really didn't feel that way.

Having said that, is staying really a good choice? Although this person's ability is very powerful, his character and ideas seem to be very problematic.

Or it should be said that because this is not his world in the first place, he cannot really empathize with it, and it is precisely because he has the ability to protect himself or even act recklessly, and has a sure way out, that he appears to be so nonchalant.

To be honest, this is normal. Even people from the same world, when they see other people who have nothing to do with themselves suffer misfortune, it is okay to feel sentimental, sympathy and pity, but it is also short-lived, and they will probably be forgotten soon. .

Because they are unrelated people whom I don't know, and I can't just go to the heart of them... The world is like this, so don't expect a visitor from another world who has no sense of belonging to have any fraternity.

It's just that, as normal as it is, they feel a little unsure about following such a person, and it seems like they can't see where the future is at all.

In addition to Komuro Takashi and others, everyone else was also called up. At this moment, their faces were pale and they were desperately trying to cheer themselves up to prepare for the next fierce battle. However, their legs and shoulders were visibly shaking, and even He could barely hold the weapon in his hand.

There was no sleepiness. After hearing that dead zombies might enter the safe area, they all immediately woke up and realized the seriousness of the problem.

But there was not much fighting spirit. When they thought about what they would face next, they felt their hearts pounding and their hands and feet became weak.

"I can't understand. Don't they only have hearing? If there is no particularly big movement, they shouldn't have such a purpose..." Saya Takagi pushed up the glasses on the bridge of her small nose and looked at the street in the distance. The dead zombies outside the final defense line.

Because the number gradually increased, there were some flaws, and some zombies had already entered.

But they also have no target. They are still wandering around blankly for the time being and do not come over immediately... This is very strange.

It can be said that they have no purpose, but they all gathered here one after another. It must be said that they were premeditated, but it was obvious that they did not find the target.

"It is true that only hearing is left among the five senses, but the perception outside the five senses may be different. When prey is not definitely found, they may unconsciously move towards the area where there are living people. There is indeed no purpose. This is A kind of instinctive guidance..."

Xia Ran shook his head in distress.

"How is this possible..." Saya Gaocheng showed an expression of resistance to acceptance.

"Don't doubt the wisdom of mortals. The potential of the spirit is beyond your imagination. I am such an example. I can clearly tell you that the sixth sense is a real ability..."

Xia Ran turned back to look at her, then pointed at herself.

"If the virus activates some kind of sensory pathway that was lost during evolution, then this is entirely possible. Don't forget that the brains of these zombies are still functioning, which shows that their brains are indeed relatively intact..."

Takagi Saya opened her mouth, wanting to deny this unscientific statement, but she didn't have any confidence.

There is no room for refutation. This guy's personal statement is a kind of proof. According to him, his extraordinary ability is the technological achievement of developing spiritual potential in the future world, and he can directly use spiritual power.

Unless it can be proven that there are essential differences in the brain and mental structure of humans between the two parallel worlds.

"Hmph! This...I can think of this even if I take some time, and what is the wisdom of a mortal! I have a genius mind!... Wait a minute, what kind of look do you have? Please don't use that look. Look at me like I’m an idiot!”

However, she was still very dissatisfied, probably because she was stimulated by Xia Ran's words and subtle eyes.

"Feel sorry……"

"You actually admitted it directly? You actually treat me as a fool!" Saya Takagi's eyes widened, her head covered with black lines, and she was not happy at all because of the other party's apology.

(PS: I plan to go home tomorrow, and I will probably be on the road for most of the day...I am a bad person myself, and I suffer from severe motion sickness, so...I have received your blessings!...Hmm...nod... )
