Doomsday Wonderland

"Dead...dead?" Seeing that Lin Sanjiu's back was still for a long time, Bohemia finally forced her voice out of her throat.

The puppeteer sighed.

"That's a good idea," he said with a look full of regret, "It's just a fake death."

Fake—fake death!

Bohemia breathed a sigh of relief. No, no, she wasn't sentimental. After all, the two of them had been together for such a long time. Even if the other person was a booger, they should be used to it by now. Of course, she couldn't accept Lin Sanjiu's sudden death.

"Sir, why are you letting her fake death?" She carefully turned Lin Sanjiu over, checked her breathing, and reflexively shrank her hands.

But she got no answer.

"Stay where you are for a few days," as the puppet master spoke, a group of building materials behind him were quickly set up, and the shape was formed in a short time. He glanced at the long road with no end in sight after walking for more than half a month, and before turning around, he said: "Find me some water."

There is of course no water on the road. But there are barren mountains on one side of the road and fields on the other. Maybe it's a doomsday world that the copy has mutated into. She can't be allowed to go in to find clear water, right? Although her injuries were not serious and she was almost fully recovered now, how much trouble would it be to go through a dungeon just to get some water? It’s better to send Yuan Xiangxi alone...

"If you can't go, just turn into a doll and go."

"Let's go!" Bohemia patted Yuan Xiangxi on the shoulder, "Hurry up!"

"Where's she?" The latter didn't know the pain even after being slapped. When he bent down to look at Lin Sanjiu, his long hair slid down from his ears like water and fell into the air. "If you keep it like this, will it turn into real death?"

After the puppet master was respectfully "picked up" by the high shelf and disappeared behind the dark red curtain, Bohemia whispered to him in an angry voice: "The clear water your Excellency asked us to find may be for Lin San." It’s for wine. Think about how much water two people need to bring back. It should be used for more than just drinking... Since he has the means, let’s put her here first.”

Yuan Xiangxi raised his head, his eyes were bright and his face was light. He seemed to have discovered a delicious little cake, with a little surprise in his eyes: "You can't tell it at first, but he is really a good person."

If the puppeteer is a good person, then she is the mother of the world. Bohemia muttered, "Are you scolding him?" while looking back and forth at the boundaries on both sides of the road.

She didn't want to go to the mountains anyway. The fields in the basin on the other side looked quite peaceful, and she didn't know what was planted in the large green areas. If there are eggplants, corns, chickens, ducks, etc. that haven't been confiscated yet... She sucked the saliva from her mouth and directed Yuan Xiangxi: "Go to the fields and take a look."

Seeing the little white figure disappear outside the fence, Bohemia waited a little uneasily for a while, then the little white dot appeared in the distance again, waving at her: "A little question nothing!"

"Is there no one?" Hearing such a loud tone felt unreliable.

"I didn't see anyone, I just saw an abandoned village!"

The existence of a village proves that there were once people, and there were once people, so maybe there was food. When Bohemia came back to her senses, one of her legs had stepped outside the fence; wrapping her body with consciousness, she hesitantly took a few steps down the basin. She felt nothing strange, and then He quickened his pace towards where Yuan Xiangxi was.

"Are you sure there is nothing?" she shouted at his shadow while running through the weeds. "You are not a living person. Many things may not react to you!"

"Are you afraid that I will forget?" Yuan Xiangxi in the distance crossed his hips, "Why do you remind me every few words?"

If the village is really a copy, she will sprinkle salt on him and drive out this useless living ghost. Bohemia made up her mind, pulled up Yuan Xiangxi, who was still assuring her that she hadn't noticed anything strange, and crawled all the way down to the center of the basin - the bushes finally gave way to them. Finally, she couldn't help but feel happy: Under the gentle sunshine, a small piece of sparkling water was shining next to the farmland. Even if the food outside is spoiled and the chickens and ducks run away, there should still be fish in this small artificial pond, right?

Unlike the road that is always shrouded in clouds, there is no cloud cover above this basin. The process of walking down is like gradually sinking into a bathtub filled with hot water. The whole body is warm, as if even the hair and skin are covered. It is also stretched and soft, making people just want to take a long breath from the inside out.

Bohemia took a few deep breaths of the air filled with soil and plants. She felt a little regretful when she saw that the field at her feet was full of rows of green seedlings, which did not look edible. "Let's go and see if there are buckets and nets in the farmhouse. I'll show you how good I am at catching fish."

"Can you catch fish?"

"It's a joke. Don't talk about ordinary fish with one head. I've eaten so many mutant fish with five heads."

Yuan Xiangxi suddenly wrinkled his face into a rag: "Five heads? Have you ever eaten anything from five heads?"

"With that expression on your face, I can still eat you, do you believe it?"

The village was still a short distance away from the farmland. The two of them walked along the field for a while, crossed a piece of wheat grass that was half a person high, and came to the first white hut they saw. The house was small and well-built, with a rocking chair on the porch, screened windows in the second-floor bedroom, and a backup generator in the back.

"You go in and take a look first," Bohemia said, pointing to the room with a sense of ownership - Yuan Xiangxi's sense of ownership: "You can't die again anyway."

"This is the second time since we got off the highway." Yuan Xiangxiang made a two-hand gesture, stepped over the steps, and walked into the house.

Soaking in the afternoon sunshine, everything was silent except for the occasional distant chirping of birds. Bohemia stood outside the house and waited for a while. She felt that she had not had such a peaceful and lazy time for a long time. If the hunger in her belly hadn't been quenched, she could have fallen asleep standing up.

"Hey, how's it going inside?" She called into the half-opened door.

Quietly, no one responded.

"Yuan Xiangxi!"

There was still no sound at all.

She leaned her head over and looked in through the crack in the door. She could only see half of a dark corridor; it seemed that as soon as she opened the door, a cool breeze would come from inside the house.

Bohemia hesitantly threw out a sliver of consciousness and used it to gently push the door wider. With the creaking of the wooden boards, the door gradually opened, revealing the corridor, stairs, a small round table with family photos under the stairs... and two human legs hanging dangling from the ceiling.

She took a sharp breath and stumbled back a few steps. "who!"

Along with her words, there were a few small silver lights that fell into the air; as soon as they touched the air, they drew several staggered arcs and rushed towards the human legs on the ceiling. The pair of human legs were just dangling softly in the air. As soon as the silver light broke through the air, they suddenly came to life, bent their knees, and retracted into the air. Yuan Xiangxi's voice rang out: "Wait a minute. Wait, it’s me!”

Bohemia came back to her senses, her face burning with anger: "What the hell are you making a fuss about!"

"Just kidding, I saw a hole in the floor on the second floor, just big enough for you to crawl in." The legs kicked hard in the air a few times, and the wooden board creaked for a while: "Eh?... Eh?"

"what happened again!"

"I seem to be stuck."

Bohemia clapped her hands crisply, turned around and walked towards the back of the house. Anyway, miscellaneous tools and the like are more likely to be stored in the warehouse or garage behind the house; as she walked around the porch, she could still hear Yuan Xiangxi's voice getting farther and farther to the west: "Help me, hello." ...What's going on? I can't pull out my upper body..."

Get stuck and reincarnate.

She used her consciousness to pry open a rolling iron door, and sure enough, a warehouse with a cement floor was revealed. Several farming machines that she didn't recognize sat side by side in the center; surrounded by a circle of shelves with various tools, she glanced around and saw the bucket in the corner.

Is there no such thing as an internet connection? Bohemia took a few steps closer to the door and looked at the tool rack covered with a thick layer of dust. Most of the warehouse was immersed in shadow, and the debris in the corner was blocked from seeing clearly. She could only walk back again, trying to call Yuan Xiangxi and let him go in to search - when she reached the gate , suddenly felt that everything was surprisingly quiet.

Stop barking? Pulled it out?

Bohemia poked her head around and found that there was nothing under the ceiling. The legs were long gone, leaving only a hole in the ceiling. "If you do something stupid again," she threatened, "I'm going to build you into the wall of this house and make you a ghost in the bricks forever."

I don’t know where the wooden board was, but UU Reading www.uukanshu.net made a slow, creaking sound.

"Get out of here!" Bohemia had already lost her patience. She took a few steps back and looked around the house: "Why are you pretending that it doesn't exist? You are already a ghost!"

"This is the third time!" The window on the second floor was suddenly opened, and a very unconvinced face appeared: "I just wanted to see what the second floor is like. Why did you ask me to do it!"

"You come down first," Bohemia told him about the situation in the warehouse and urged him a few more times before finally seeing him open the door and come out. "Did you look at the kitchen? Is there anything to eat?"

"That depends on whether you are willing to eat green mucor mold." Yuan Xiangxi said with a slumped face: "With the way you are showing now, you might have actually eaten it."

"I even braised your mother." Bohemia quarreled as she walked to the back of the house with him. When they reached the door of the warehouse, their voices gradually weakened, and they stopped in unison and looked at each other.

"Well...that..." Yuan Xiangxi took a breath and whispered, "Tell me, should we..."

"Go back and take a look?" Bohemia completed the second half of his sentence.

Yuan Xiangxi nodded.

His face had always been pale and lifeless, but now it was actually a layer of whiter. Bohemia couldn't see her face, but it was just as ugly when she thought about it. The two stopped bickering, stayed close to each other, and walked back to the front of the house in small steps.

Behind the wide open door, a staircase leads to the second floor. On the small round table under the stairs, there were many framed family photos, and in the center was a somewhat old wedding photo. A young couple in wedding attire cuddled together and smiled for the camera.

Even though neither of them had entered the door and were still far away, Bohemia recognized them.

The photo shows her and Yuan Xiangxi.
