Alien Dust

Chapter 12: Yin and Yang Life and Death Line

After this ordeal, it was still difficult for Wu Hen to fall asleep. It was probably because the mattress underneath was too hard and had been hard all night.

Su Li's breathing was very steady and I didn't know if she was asleep or not.

Her hand was still gently around Wu Hen's arm, as if only in this way could she feel a little peace in this turbulent world.

But not long after, Su Li noticed something strange about Wu Hen's right hand.

"What are you doing with your right hand?" Su Li's voice sounded softly.

Wu Hen was extremely embarrassed, and he didn't know how to explain to Su Li, so he could only honestly say, "I'm eating a pistol."

In the dark tent, Su Li widened her eyes, glanced at the shaking Wu Hen, and finally turned around and said unhappily: "Then you can slowly solve it yourself."

Wu Hen looked at the slender figure pressed against him and did not know whether to laugh or cry.

It's not what you think!

Let me explain.

The black miracle substance in my right hand is really eating the pistol you gave me!

I don’t know what to do either.

After a long time, Wu Hen's arm was motionless.

After a moment of silence, Su Li felt that Wu Hen should be done, and a gentle voice sounded again:

"When he was eight years old, he was injured by the Lonely Ghost and lost his soul. For so many years, he was like a mentally retarded child in the eyes of others. The Goddess Nuwa would not let an irrelevant soul live in another body for no reason. I will obey the will of the Goddess Nuwa. You are him when he grows up."

"Have you been walking in a different dimension all the time?" Wu Hen asked in surprise.

Su Li and Xiao Yun didn't seem to be living in the world they were in.

"You are lucky and pure. Not all souls can receive the protection of the goddess Nuwa," said Su Li.

"But we have just announced a piece of news that the goddess Nuwa will not be able to hold on for much longer." Wu Hen said.

"Then do everything you can to protect the goddess Nuwa. Your tribe must become strong and save itself." Su Li said.

"We still know nothing about this place." Wu Hen said.

"No one dares to say that he understands Huang Chen." Su Li said.

"That……"

"Go to sleep. You'll have to fight for your life tomorrow morning."

"Oh." Wu Hen nodded and tactfully didn't ask any more questions.

"Do you know the girl who woke up?" Su Li asked with her eyes closed.

"Unfamiliar."

Wu Hen's hearing is different from that of ordinary people.

Even in this small tent, Wu Hen could clearly hear the conversations of everyone in the subway car.

The word "unfamiliar" was not said by Wu Hen first.

Yang Qin is already trying to please the man with glasses.

……

A pale sun slowly rises from the seashore.

The brightly lit city, apart from looking a little deserted, is not as scary as it is at night.

Wu Hen and other people in the subway began to check their surroundings carefully.

The subway car is an enclosed space, which does ensure their safety, but the subway station is dim and they must be careful of things hiding in the darkness.

"Is there anything?" Su Li asked Wu Hen.

"There is Exit A, we will leave from Exit B." Wu Hen said with certainty.

Strong hearing also plays a big role at this time.

"Okay, everyone follow me. When we go out, everyone must walk in the sunshine!" Su Li said.

“Is there anything during the day?”

"Shadow spirits can move around in the shadows during the day."

The group of people led by Su Li consisted of about thirteen or fourteen people. Most of them were obedient and had clear minds.

Everyone has a strong desire to survive, and they obey Su Li's commands.

After walking out of the subway station, the light of day shone down and everyone suddenly felt like they were seeing the light of day again.

Wu Hen subconsciously looked back and found that the sun had slowly risen from the seaside and would soon move above the tall buildings.

But soon, Wu Hen realized that something was wrong.

Didn’t the sun set over the seashore yesterday?

"Follow!"

Su Li, holding a gun, led the way swiftly in front.

The crowd lined up in a long queue, their eyes fixed on the area on the road illuminated by the sun.

"We have to hurry. After ten o'clock during the day, the shadows of the buildings will intersect with the streets, and it will be difficult for us to move." Su Li said.

……

At first, Wu Hen didn’t quite understand what the interweaving of building shadows and streets meant.

But as the pale sun moved, it lengthened the shadows of the buildings throughout the city, and like black trenches, it was reflected diagonally on the straight long streets. Only then did Wu Hen realize why it was difficult to move after ten o'clock!

If people cannot set foot where there are shadows, then they will have no way forward.

Fortunately, there were people in the team who had experienced this before and knew which street to take first when there would be plenty of sunlight, and which street to take next to avoid the shadows of tall buildings.

If you look down, you will find that Wu Hen and his group are like insects and ants in a huge maze. The shadows that move with the sunlight are giant sharp blades that change in many ways. They have to avoid them at all times. From morning to noon, this time is not bad.

Even if you encounter a dead end with shadows, just wait for a while and you will be able to continue moving forward when the sun rises higher.

But after noon, the sun reaches its highest point and begins to set, there are fewer and fewer paths to walk on, and everyone's progress becomes slower and slower.

At this time, it was past noon, and they stopped in an empty park. They had to wait for the sun to move before they could walk towards the train station.

"There is sunshine this way!" The man with glasses suddenly pointed out a path.

It was a one-lane side street, and because the buildings were relatively low, two-thirds of the street was bathed in sunlight.

"That's not the direction to the train station." Su Li shook her head.

"Cross the side street and walk along the perpendicular main street to reach the Black Shirt Organization's shelter." said a woman with a broken eyebrow in the team.

When Su Li heard this, she understood what the man with glasses and the woman with broken eyebrows meant.

She smiled contemptuously and said, "Jiang Wang, Xu Yan, if you want to join the Black Shirts, go ahead."

"Su Li, it's not that we don't want to follow you. The main thing is that what will happen if we escape from this city? It may not be as safe outside as it is here!" said a woman who looked older.

"You have to make a decision quickly. If you wait any longer, there will be no sunlight on the side street." Su Li said.

The direction of the side street was perpendicular to the direction of the sun's movement, and shadows did indeed cover the entire street, but if they walked onto the main street, they would be able to bask in the sun again.

This street is very long, at least two kilometers, and if you want to leave the team, you really have to do it as soon as possible because the area with sunlight is getting smaller and smaller.

"Come on, follow me!" said Jiang Wang, the man with glasses.

Jiang Wang was the first to step out of the team.

Soon, four or five people followed Jiang Wang's steps. It was obvious that they had discussed it last night.

There were obviously a few people in the team who were hesitating. They must have received favors from Su Li before, but in their opinion, the road ahead was even more dangerous. To be on the safe side, they still wanted to join the Black Shirts Organization.

Soon a few more people left.
The team was instantly reduced to half its size.

"Let's run, everyone. Hurry up and run!" Jiang Wang, the man with glasses, said loudly.

Seeing that half of the people were following him, Jiang Wang's tone changed, as if he was the leader of these people.

"I... my leg is injured, I can't run fast, help me up!" Yang Qin shouted to the man with glasses.

However, the bespectacled man Jiang Wang ignored her and quickly ran into the sunny area of ​​the side street.

The others quickly caught up and began to run faster and faster.

The two-kilometer distance is very tiring to run, and you have to run at full speed.

"Don't go, don't go, didn't you agree to take me with you?" Yang Qin's face turned pale when she saw that no one in this group of people was willing to help her!

She limped, trying to catch up with the departing team, but soon found herself being left far behind.

After all, Yang Qin had attended high school, so she realized that at her speed, it was impossible for her to run the two kilometers of streets in the limited time...

She stopped in front of the side street, looking at the back of the shameless man, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

She walked back with a shaky step, looked at Wu Hen eagerly, and said, "Can I...can I follow you?"

"It's up to you." Wu Hen said lightly.

Yang Qin's eyes were red, and she looked extremely pitiful. She said, "Just because I didn't want to agree to his unreasonable request last night, he actually treated me like this..."

Ah, yes, yes, you would rather die than obey.

Wu Hen was too lazy to complain.

All I can say is that Yang Qin is not stupid enough to be eaten up and abandoned!

"Xiao Hen, listen carefully." At this time, Su Li walked to Wu Hen and pointed to the shadowy area of ​​the side street.

Wu Hen nodded and was too lazy to pay attention to Yang Qin.

He looked at the two-kilometer-long side street. From his angle he could see the end at a glance.

Wu Hen began to focus on his hearing.

Wu Hen had no idea what Su Li wanted him to listen to.

She must be trying to teach herself something.

But after a while, Wu Hen still couldn't hear anything.

However, Wu Hen's naked eyes soon saw a strange scene in the shadow of the side street!
The shadow was like a long and narrow river. Something was emerging from the water beneath the river, causing the shadow to ripple and even boil!
Wu Hen was shocked. What was in that shadow band?
Why can't I hear any sound?
"You only have auditory sense, but some species in the wasteland cannot make any sound, such as these shadow evil spirits. You must observe more in the future and cannot rely on only one sense." Su Li explained to Wu Hen.

Wu Hen nodded and subconsciously wanted to hug his aunt's long legs.

The wilderness is dusty and chaotic, and Hen Bao is scared!
……

"Run faster, don't panic, they don't dare to go under the sun!!" Jiang Wang, the man with glasses, shouted.

The area bathed in sunlight is getting narrower and narrower.

Moreover, the buildings along the entire side street are of uniform height, but are also closely connected, and there is no other place to stay along the way.

At this moment, they are like a group of ants fleeing in a maze. The other wall is slowly squeezing them closer. If they can't run out of this path, they will all die!

On the street, the dividing line between yin and yang is very obvious, like a shadow tide line, encroaching on the limited area.

The sun was moving faster than they thought.

I haven't even run halfway across the street yet, but the shadow area has already occupied two-thirds!
As if they could smell the vitality on people, even though the six of them were running on the sunny side, the vicious water ghosts at their feet were already stirring at the border, and they were ready to jump out to the dark side at any time out of hunger!

"Run, run faster!!!" shouted Xu Yan, the woman with broken eyebrows.

"I... can't... run anymore..." said the older man breathlessly.

"Wait for me...wait for me..." said the extremely bloated and greasy man at the end of the team.
