Chapter 5 Escape
After she and I came out with difficulty, darkness had already spread around us. It was quiet here and there was no living person. It felt like it was a bit scary.
"Where have people gone?" I looked around and said with my back.
There is a little light in the distance, which is particularly eye-catching in the darkness. It’s really strange that during this earthquake, many of the high-rise buildings in Chang'an of the Empire were not lived in. Why is this building only so strong?
"Go and take a look! Maybe there are people there." I said to An Muying, "We may have to leave in the dark. We have no tools to illuminate."
We moved forward very slowly in the darkness. After all, there were rubble and ruins everywhere, and we might have taken a step. But this building is really strange, and it seems to be a certain distance from us. Fortunately, it is very high. But I remember that the empire did not have such a high building! Moreover, the building in front of us is at least tens of thousands of meters high. Can people build such a high building overnight?
These questions did not stop us. I carried An Muying on my back and continued to move towards the direction of the light. Suddenly An Muying called me: "Zhao Zhao, look, that building seems to be moving, and it doesn't look like a building! It's more like something flying in the air!"
"Flying stuff?" I was a little policeman. Maybe I was walking around just now and my vision was unclear. So I stopped and watched carefully.
It seems that it is really floating in the air, with no light below, only light above, and it seems to be very large. It really doesn't look like a building. The human building seems to be not that tall, and it is still moving. I feel a little scared.
"Do you want to go over? I saw this thing really seemed to float in the air." My heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and my voice trembled.
Before she could answer, the thing floating in the air shot out several lasers, heading in all directions. The ground exploded instantly, and the blazing flames burned. And the thing seemed to move in our direction.
"Damn, is this an alien spaceship?" I said subconsciously. Fear instantly occupied my brain, and my mind was blank, and I even forgot to escape. I stayed quietly, motionless.
However, An Muying still retained some consciousness. She patted my shoulder and shouted to me: "Why are you stunned? Run away quickly!"
I woke up like a dream, turned around and ran away. Because the spaceship was far away from us, we still had a certain chance. If we were closer, the novel might end here.
However, since the road was full of ruins and stones, we were also very badly thrown and we couldn't care about those things.
An Muying pressed her tightly against my back, and I could feel her heartbeat quickly. She looked back from time to time to see how fast the spaceship was and how far away it was from us.
It was dark, the endless night, and we didn't know where we ran away from the city and entered a forest. There seemed to be people living here. Because the lights in the room were still on, we decided to go in and take a look. By the way, we found some more food. We didn't eat for a whole day. In addition, we were tired and hungry when we ran around just now.
The door of the room was open and there seemed to be no one inside. The room looked a little worn on the surface, but the decoration inside was pretty good, like a villa. I put her on the sofa, and her clothes were stained with a lot of blood, and the clothes were much broken. Moreover, just lower your head, you can see that thing, it was still purple, darn, it was too obvious...
"You can't watch, you can't watch. You are a gentleman, not a hooligan." I warned myself over and over again in my heart. She seemed to have noticed this embarrassment, took out a pillow and covered her body, her face turned red, her shoulders shrank, and her chest said to me: "Can you help me find a few clothes?"
"I'll find it for you now." After a feast for my eyes, I started to search through the cabinets. In a room, I found some things that only adults can use. Of course, these are not what I need.
Finally I picked a suitable one and threw it to her. Then we went to find something to eat. I found a lot of things in the refrigerator in the kitchen, but they were all cold, and I didn't care about that much. After we had a feast, I charged my phone to see if there was any signal.
"There is still no signal. The phone can only be used as a flashlight."
"Maybe the aliens blocked the signal! But have those aliens chased me?"
"It shouldn't be," I lay on the window and looked out. The giant ship with a bright light was still far away and would come over for a while.
"It seems that they were the main cities that captured humanity first. It's just strange that there are so many people in the Great Wall, why are they gone?"
"Maybe they captured it, maybe some escaped, maybe some were still trapped in the ruins..." An Muying curled up on the sofa and said expressionlessly, "Maybe this is really our doomsday."
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go quickly while the night is dark. If aliens really come here, it will be troublesome."
"Um!"
"You put this bag on your back and I filled it with some food and water. If we hold on for three days, we have to walk into the mountains, which is relatively remote, and maybe there should be surviving humans there."
"But we don't know the direction! We don't know where we run now, where is the mountains?"
"The road in front of us seems to lead to the south of the city. There are mountains to the west and mountains to the south. We can run south."
"Okay, hurry up and leave!"
"Then come up, I'll carry you on my back, your leg injury has not healed yet."
I also ran towards the south with An Muying on my back.
However, we have no means of transportation and compass. As we move southward, we gradually deviate from the original direction and even go in the opposite direction. We are equivalent to taking a big bend, gradually moving from the south to the west, and finally, we reach the north of Chang'an City. Only after we know that we see the loess high slope did we understand where we are now and the direction we are heading.
The sky gradually became brighter, and An Muying and I were so tired. We ran about dozens of miles and finally saw the mountain. Just see the mountain, just like a life-saving straw. I guess we had the last effort to head towards the mountain area.
Since it was summer and it was very hot, An Muying and I decided to rest under the tree for a while, and the surroundings were quiet. I took out the water and handed me the water after drinking it. Just as I was about to drink water, a sound came from the grass next to us, which made our originally relaxed nerves tense again. An Muying grabbed me tightly, and we looked around, not knowing what was in the dark. Looking at us, our heartbeat became more violent, and our breathing became rapid, and we were waiting for it to appear.
