Erosion

Chapter 53

When he was about to pass an intersection, Wei Yuan suddenly said, "Take the road in the urban area."

Zhang Zheng was about to turn the steering wheel, when he braked suddenly, he suddenly turned his head: "Aren't you? Downtown?"

Wei Yuan said, "Let's go that way."

Zhang Zheng said as if he had eaten a fly: "We didn't bring any spare equipment, what should we do if we get stuck on the way?" The irritable driver was as open-mouthed as ever.

When I came here, I was in such a hurry to lead people to rescue, so I didn't have time to make preparations.

Wei Yuan turned his head to look at Jiang Shan in the back seat, and said, "I promised to let you see the outside world, today you can open your eyes first."

Jiang Shan had been staring out of the car window, but when he heard this, he glanced at Wei Yuan, but he was surprised that he would say that.

Knowing that he said he was lonely again, Zhang Zheng turned his head to face the crossroads ahead. He slammed the steering wheel with a bad face and drove straight to the left. The violent shaking of the car also vented his dissatisfaction. It was really annoying, as he had expected. To receive a big trouble fine.

The vehicle drove all the way up from the main road on the left. The vehicle ran over the asphalt road and brought up heavy smoke and dust. Jiang Shan was a little surprised. How long has it been since the road has been cleaned?What about the appearance of the city?
"Take a good look." Wei Yuan's deep voice came from next to his ear.There seems to be a hint of coolness.

Jiang Shan looked at the world outside the window of the car without moving. The vehicles were unimpeded on the main roads of the city. There used to be traffic jams for three hours, and the roads where countless people and vehicles shuttled were empty.

As Zhang Zheng's speed increased, Jiang Shan soon saw high-rise buildings passing by quickly on both sides, the central city with an explosive population, countless construction waste piled in the middle of the city, and rows of windows like a Rubik's cube Grid, which should have been full of people, is empty now.Except for the sound of tires running over the ground, the surrounding area was terribly quiet.

Zhang Zheng suddenly turned a corner and got onto the viaduct beside him.

Jiang Shan saw countless black dust rising up on the road Zhang Zheng was speeding past, and the guardrails on both sides of the elevated road were also covered with that black substance... The tall and huge buildings began to approach Jiang Shan quickly. Shan's eyes can still clearly capture at such a rapid speed that the surfaces of all the high-rise buildings are riddled with holes, the walls are peeling off, mottled and old, as if this is not a bustling metropolis a few months ago, but an empty city. It's been the same for a hundred years.

There is a tall road sign on the side of the highway, with cobwebs all over the rusty chassis, and the words written on it can be vaguely seen: "Welcome to Beijing and Hong Kong"...

The vehicle had passed by for a long time, and Jiang Shan was still staring in the direction of the sign in a daze.

Jiang Shan has never been out of the small city where she was born in the 20 years since she was born, so she will arrange the last "dying trip" for herself.However, she has seen the appearance of Beijing and Hong Kong in countless promotions and on the big screen. It is full of prosperity and luxury. "The most beautiful thing is Xigang Bay", which is a familiar slogan.

Suddenly the car jolted, Zhang Zheng was a little nervous, his eyes were fixed on the road ahead without moving.

Jiang Shan looked up and saw an electronic LED screen hanging high on the building. Jiang Shan had seen this screen in countless advertisements, and it represented the landmark and status of Beijing and Hong Kong. Get seven figures.Now this huge electronic screen is dim, and one side has begun to fall, hanging dangerously precariously in mid-air.

The whole city seemed to have turned black.In such a depression, the impact of the large blockbusters is like a city in the end of the world.

For a moment, Jiang Shan suspected that everything in front of him was not real, because it was so absurd and magical.

Do you know that in the writings of literati and ink writers, why do you call the world "the world of mortals"?Because the means of transportation in ancient times was horse-drawn carriages, the red soil in the north was raised up, and red dust was seen in the air, so it is called Hongchen Rolling.

However, there used to be a lot of traffic in Beijing and Hong Kong, and the exhaust of the cars was full of black smoke, which turned into billowing black dust.With today's completely blackened city, it seems to be a group of silent movies.

suddenly!A glass window fell from a high altitude and smashed right in front of the vehicle. In an instant, countless glass shards shattered and scattered, and one of the shards hit Zhang Zheng's windshield directly.

"I'm ctm###..." Zhang Zheng suddenly slowed down the car, breaking out in a cold sweat, and kept swearing to relieve the pressure.

Jiang Shan's gaze slowly turned to the road. The entire road was covered with countless glass shards.From all directions, what they passed by just now, as well as the ones in front of them, are everywhere.

Zhang Zheng ran over the glass with trepidation, fearing that the tire would be punctured and he would be finished.

I saw those aged and corroded window frames falling away from the building, and the outer skin of the building was peeling off and flying in the air with the wind...

"I'm talking about Old Wei," Zhang Zheng asked while breathing in, "Are we sure... are we going to move forward?" Hey, there's still time to go back now.

Wei Yuan said, "Keep driving."

Zhang Zheng's heart was full of fragrances, but he had no choice but to step up the gas pedal, and he died as soon as he died. Let's all die together.

Zhang Zheng turned the steering wheel and slowly got off the elevated road. At this time, they had undoubtedly entered the innermost hinterland of the city.

The whole world seemed to be as quiet as death.

In front of him, Jiang Shan saw that the outer wall of a high-rise building was covered with moss and vegetation, and extremely thick tree branches extended from the window opening of the building to the outer wall, tightly entangled around the building. , the building itself is already full of cracks, as if relying on these thick tree vines to keep it from collapsing, especially those entangled vines, as if they are still slowly creeping, as if life is continuing to grow...

This is not the world that Jiang Shan is familiar with at all. Jiang Shan is completely numb, and everything she sees is beyond her comprehension.

What I saw and heard in the hospital just now, compared with the huge city ruins in front of me, seems to have completely become nothing worth mentioning.

The exposed steel bars of the building, the black material peeled off layer by layer, seeing that the steel bars that were originally as thick as a wrist became thinner and thinner... and finally became like a noodle, swaying in the wind, and finally all collapsed into ashes scattered.

Zhang Zheng's eyes had been frozen for a long time, like a driving machine without emotion.Compared with the countless building giants on both sides, they in the vehicle are like ants, no matter which building collapses, they are enough to crush them into meatloaf.

Jiang Shan didn't know when she was already tightly grasping the door handle inside the car, and she didn't even realize it.

Jiang Shan has only seen this kind of scene of withering and devastation in movies. If you say that all of this is not real, who has the ability to make such a huge city present such a scene of ruins.

"See, this is the current city." Wei Yuan's voice was so calm that there was no trace of emotion.

This is the outside world that Jiang Shan wants to see, a world that is almost destroyed.A world that is completely different from the memory.

The price of freedom is usually heavier than imagined.

"Enough." Jiang Shan said.

The air in the car was so cold that it seemed to be soaked in freezing water, she didn't want to look at it anymore.

　Coming! !
