023 Accident

The snow was getting heavier and heavier, and the windshield of the car was completely covered with snow, so the situation outside could not be seen.

Chen Xu broke a piece of chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth. He listened to the whimpering wind outside, and couldn't help but think of the typhoon that had no signs a month ago. He already understood the content hidden behind the name of this dream world.

"It turns out that "Survival of the Doomsday" does not just mean that all humans in the world have disappeared. There are still many natural disasters behind it. When the dream is about to end, it may be the real doomsday of the world."

He sighed, unscrewed the lid of the thermos pot, and poured out a cup of hot water. Looking at the mist that emerged from the cup, his brows became deeper and deeper.

Now, he is in a dilemma. If the snow keeps going, the final result will be to be frozen to death. The food he brings can last for up to three or five days.

There are no buildings in the vicinity of ten kilometers. If he leaves, since he can't ski, he only brings ice skates, which is useless in the snow. In such heavy snow, he might die faster.

To him, this is just a dream. Just die, at most it is just the dream that ends early.

But--

"If I die, what should Luo Xiyun do?"

He murmured, "And, I haven't slept with her yet, how could I just die like this?"

Yes, in the past few months, he has been so angry with such a woman. How could he be willing to not sleep with her?

He ate the remaining chocolate in three mouthfuls, drank a glass of water, lay in his seat, ready to nourish his energy, and when the hail was no longer there, he left here and walked back.

…………

This wait was just one night.

The hail stopped in the evening, but it was even more dangerous to go out at night, so Chen Xu waited for another night.

After dawn, he was ready. Before leaving, he cooked a bowl of steaming instant noodles, ate and drank enough, opened the car door, and left without looking back in the wind and snow.

He was fully armed, wearing thick mountaineering clothes, goggles, a hiking pole, and a backpack behind him.

“What a strong wind.”

As soon as Chen Xu went out, he felt that the wind was so strong that it was beyond imagination. Every step he took was extremely difficult. There was a thick layer of snow on the ground, which made it more difficult to move forward.

At this time, he could only grit his teeth and move forward.

In the wind and snow, there were white areas everywhere, and the direction was difficult to tell. He walked for a while and took a look at the compass to avoid losing his direction.

As he walked, Chen Xu couldn't help feeling lonely in his heart. Perhaps it was only after he lost that he knew how to cherish it, and he was more eager to see Luo Xiyun.

It was also at this time that he realized how important Luo Xiyun's company has been to him over the past few months.

If she had not appeared, she would have really admitted that she was so lonely that she could have survived this great feeling of loneliness until now?

He is just an ordinary person. Even though he is introverted, doesn't like to make friends, he prefers to be alone. He is still a normal person and an inseparable member of human society. He is separated from the entire society alone and cannot survive.

…………

A few hours later, Chen Xu stopped for the fifth time, took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket with difficulty, bit off the outer packaging with his teeth, and ate it all into his stomach.

Then, he took off the insulation kettle from one side of his backpack, poured out the remaining water, and drank it all in one sip.

He threw away the empty thermos pot and looked forward. The wind and snow were smaller than when he set out and the visibility was higher.

There is no change in the surrounding terrain.

"I should have walked ten kilometers." He roughly guessed that as the snow continued to fall, the snow on the ground became deeper and deeper, and coupled with the consumption of physical strength, the speed was getting slower and slower.

"Before dark, I should be able to get out of this ice surface."

He rested for a few minutes and felt his originally heavy legs quickly losing temperature. He didn't dare to delay, so he stepped forward and continued to move forward.

After walking for a few more hours, I finished eating ten chocolates in my pocket, and the hot water from the two thermos bottles was empty.

tired.

At this time, he had only one feeling, his legs seemed to be not his own, but just walking forward mechanically. He kept gasping in his mouth, his lungs were burning, as if he would immediately pant out of his throat.

Gradually, his eyes began to turn black.

"No, I have to stop and rest for a while."

His reason told himself that his body had reached its limit.

At this moment, he found that some buildings had appeared not far ahead. He couldn't help but feel excited and finally walked out of the ice surface.

It’s easy to deal with if there is a building. You can hide in it and rest for a while, eat something to restore your energy.

When he thought of this, a new force emerged from his body and walked towards the building.

After walking a dozen more steps, the outline of the building became clearer.

"Try harder." He took a heavy breath and encouraged himself.

He took another step, and suddenly, his toes touched something and his body lost balance. At this time, his physical strength had been exhausted and he could not adjust at all. He fell down and his body kept rolling down.

"Oops."

He was shocked. As he walked over, there was an extremely flat ice surface. He didn't expect there was a slope here. As he rolled down, his forehead thumped and hit a hard object, and for a moment, his eyes were filled with stars.

Finally, he rolled to the bottom of the slope, trying hard to open his eyes, his vision was completely occupied by a piece of red.

"It's over."

He tried his best to stay awake, but his consciousness continued to sink and finally lost consciousness.

…………

"Why haven't that bastard come back yet?"

On the day Chen Xu left, at around 8 o'clock in the evening, Luo Xiyun felt a little restless when he saw that he had not come back.

In the past few months, Chen Xu often drove out, but never spent the night outside. Even during their Cold War, the same was true.

"Are he playing some tricks again?"

She thought itchy. During the day, she had already found that the heating in Chen Xu's room was good, but she just unplugged it. She dared to lie to her that the heating was broken, which made her clean up the utility room these two days.

As time went by, she felt more and more uneasy until midnight when she had to realize that something might have happened to Chen Xu.

That night, she sat on the bed, covered with a quilt, but her heart was cold. She seemed to have returned to the first month. The darkness around her seemed to be the bottomless abyss, swallowing her bit by bit.

"Chen Xu..."

Only this man who often makes her gritted teeth can resist this power of loneliness in this empty world.

In this way, she sat wither all night.

Until dawn, she suddenly stood up.
