Six traces of the dream domain empty city

Chapter 62 A Similar Dream

Until now, Huang Quan still has a feeling of unreality, not knowing whether the world in front of him is real or not.

Seeing his reaction, Yu Jia sighed, and said, "Dreams have endings."

Huang Quan was terrified and his heartbeat almost stopped. That dream did have a follow-up and an ending.It's just that the ending was so weird that he subconsciously wanted to forget it.

In the ending, it is a dead and desolate world, with thick fog everywhere, broken walls and ruins can be seen faintly, and trees are separated from each other and grow alone.

The trunk was twisted terribly and strangely, without a single leaf, as if there were countless painful souls struggling and screaming inside.

Huang Quan walks in this world without knowing the passage of time, forgetting the way he came from, and seeing no end in sight.Fortunately, he is not alone, there is a companion beside him, and his steady and rhythmic steps are his spiritual support.

But even though he heard footsteps, Huang Quan didn't dare to turn his head, for fear that when he looked over, what he saw was not a monster of his own kind, but a monster that was about to devour him.He was even more afraid of not seeing anything.

He is not afraid of death, but afraid of loneliness.

After repeating this ending several times, Huang Quan finally plucked up the courage once, turned his head to look at each other, and what he saw was...

Yu Jia.

Yu Jia didn't know when she appeared beside Huang Quan, walking with him a little behind.This is exactly the position in Huang Quan's dream. When Huang Quan turned his head, he saw that she was also looking at him.

At this moment, Huang Quan was a little hard to tell whether it was in a dream or the real world.

Why is it such a stranger who happened to meet in a strange world and a strange journey.

She seemed to have seen through Huang Quan's thoughts, quietly stretched out her hand, held Huang Quan's hand, and said, "This is different from a dream, so this is not a dream."

It was true that this hand-holding did not happen in the dream, but the indescribable trembling in Huang Quan's heart became more obvious. For the first time in his life, he had the idea of ​​surrendering to the fear of the unknown.

It was all too weird, too weird to imagine.

"You also have the same dream?" Huang Quan asked.

"Yes."

"So, do you know who I am? Where do I come from?"

Yu Jia shook her head, "It was only when I saw you that I was sure that the dreams that had troubled me since I was a child were real. As for who you are and where you came from, I don't know. I only know that I saw you in my dream It was you who arrived, and you also saw me in a dream."

Huang Quan didn't speak, all this happened so suddenly that even he couldn't accept it for a while.It's not that there were no such things as prophecy in the age of empires. On the contrary, it was an advanced knowledge in the field of philosophy.

In the field of science, both illusory memory and illusory memory have their own theories, but no matter which one, Huang Quan can't be at ease.

"Go on, we still have a lot to see." Yu Jia said.

Huang Quan silently followed.

After crossing the chariot factory and training ground, Yu Jia turned a corner and walked along the side street.On the side of the chariot factory, there is also a large open space, with a row of garages built on the edge, and several refueling facilities can be seen.

"This is a vehicle parking lot for temporary storage of tanks."

"There is an air defense position over there. The combination of anti-aircraft guns and missiles, combined with special sounding radar, can directly attack targets on high-altitude orbits."

After coming to this world for so long, Huang Quan finally heard a word related to the interstellar age.

The two of them traveled along the way, seeing canteens, spare parts factories, light weapons factories, ammunition factories, smelting workshops, combat armor assembly workshops, auditoriums, theaters, gymnasiums, and even a resident with complete facilities that can accommodate tens of thousands of people Area.

All Huang Quan saw was a fully functioning, self-sufficient militarized town.If there is enough food reserves, then theoretically this fortress can last for decades in the flames of war.

Huang Quan once stomped the ground vigorously, and through the shock waves, he knew that there was still a vast space underground.The bottom of the entire fortress has been almost hollowed out, and it is unknown what is hidden inside.

When the two stood at a crossroad, there was finally a light ahead.Although it is dim, it adds vitality to this dead world.

Yu Jia stared at the lights in the distance and said, "That's where the current members of the shelter live. You're right, it's only a small area. Because we only have so many people now, we only need such a small amount of space. place."

Judging from the range of lights, the front is only the size of a block, about the size of a chariot factory.No matter how densely people live in the shelter, this space can't hold many people, more than 1000 people are about the same.

In the fortress, more than [-]% of the land is empty and uninhabited, and the place with lights is only a small corner.

"Do you understand now? Why do our soldiers seem to have loose discipline?"

"I wouldn't be surprised if they were completely undisciplined. But to be clear, I still don't understand."

In such an environment, survival is the first priority of human beings, and it is an unavoidable fact that the strong are respected.All order, law and military discipline may be thrown aside.

The protection of civilians is a product of a stable society. In turbulent war years, civilians have always been victims.In the rainforest world, obviously, there is no exception.

On the contrary, the sanctuary army still maintains a minimum of military discipline, and it is not even worse than the army of the imperial era on the battlefield, which surprised Huang Quan.

Seeing that Huang Quan really didn't understand, Yu Jia said: "The consul said that now everyone, every sensible person, is the most precious treasure and the cornerstone of our existence. All people have different divisions of labor. , There is no distinction between high and low. Therefore, the strictest laws have been enacted in the sanctuary. No matter who it is, no one is allowed to oppress the same race. If the people in the settlement pass the observation period and enter the sanctuary, they will obtain the same status as us , same right, those fighters can no longer treat them like they did last night."

Huang Quan listened quietly, but there was still something he didn't understand.If it was true what Yu Jia said, then the people in the shelter should welcome the arrival of the settlers very much, but from their attitudes, there was no trace of kindness.

Only Yu Jia was different, but now Huang Quan knew that it was only because of the common dream and respect for his personal power.

Yu Jia continued: "You may find it strange why we are so indifferent to the return of the lost people in the settlement. It starts with the history of the settlement. It will be a long story. Let's go there."

In the corner of the lighting area, there is a small iron hall, which is actually a water bar.Standing behind the bar was not a waiter, but a soldier in combat uniform. Huang Quan had seen him on the battlefield.

Seeing Yu Jia's arrival, several soldiers in front of the bar hurriedly got up and saluted, then picked up drinks and quickly left.Before leaving, they looked at Huang Quan with strange eyes, no envy, only sympathy.

Yu Jia knocked on the bar, and the soldiers inside said they knew about it, and quickly made two drinks and brought them over.

There was a flash of light in Huang Quan's eyes, and he detected the ingredients clearly. This drink is the product of mixing several kinds of spirits. Judging from the ingredients of the two glasses, the ratio is not so strict.

He took a sip and felt that the tip of his tongue was slightly spicy, and the alcohol content was almost over seventy.

Huang Quan was not used to drinking early in the morning, but Yu Jia gulped down half the glass.

Huang Quan looked at her and asked, "Are they afraid of you?"

"You can't beat me, you can't drink me, of course you will be afraid." Yu Jia's answer was concise and clear.

Huang Quan shrugged and said, "I can't drink you either."

Yu Jia heard the hidden meaning in the words: "Do you think you can beat me?"

The soldier behind the bar opened his eyes wide, looking like he was watching a good show, and the eyes he glanced at Huang Quan were more like looking at a dead person.However, he didn't expect that Yu Jia just let out a sigh of relief and said, "Then let's say I can't beat you."

The soldier's expression froze with staring eyes.

"Acceptance." Huang Quan was really blunt.

Yu Jia took another sip and drank all the wine in the glass.The soldier behind the bar had known her drinking capacity for a long time, and immediately handed over a new glass.

Yu Jia played with the wine glass, did not drink, stared at the swirling liquid in the glass, and said slowly: "The first group of settlers left the shelter back then. The real reason was...despair."
