Invade the World

  Chapter 331 Car Maze at the End of the Century

   "This place is..."

  At one or two in the middle of the night, the young people walked to a dark blue iron gate.

  Xu Xiangyang stood in front of this door, and began to ponder over such unmarginal topics as where it came from and why it appeared here again.

  The towering steel door panels are rusty, and the lime on the walls is mottled, as if covered with a thick gloom.

  After leaving the congested viaduct, Xu Xiangyang and others do not know where to go for the time being. They decided to head towards the outskirts of the city first.

  How to get out of the city afterwards, is to get out with a pair of fleshy legs, and also to find a way to get around the obstacles of the group of people, take a train or a bus... just wait.

Although    is an unplanned action, it is not too bad in Xu Xiangyang's eyes.

  Since they don’t even know where they will go next, on the other hand, their actions are also difficult to predict by others.

If the opponent does not have a special tracking method, or if his luck on his side is not so bad that he hits a large group head-on—then the three young men circling around will dive into the deep sea like a fish, normally they found out It's impossible.

  ...Xu Xiangyang knew this was too optimistic. But at this time, besides maintaining optimism, he can't change other things.

  Even on the way to being chased, he still never felt anxious or panicked.

  Walking freely on the fresh streets after the rain in the face of the night breeze that caresses the face, while the dear girls accompany them, talking freely to each other, talking without restraint...

This is the seemingly ordinary, but extremely precious life. Ordinary people will look back at some point in the future and regard them as gleaming treasures in memory; and Xu Xiangyang, although he is only a high school student, has experienced it. Things that others can't imagine for a lifetime, so at this moment, he can already deeply feel that this beauty is hard-won, and just wants to work hard to hold it in his hands.

   Carefully care, not willing to let go easily.

  I just hope that the road under my feet can be longer, longer, and longer.

  Unfortunately, the human senses can become short-lived or long-lived under psychological effects, but physical limitations cannot deceive people.

  After walking aimlessly for nearly two hours, all three of them felt very tired and needed to rest immediately.

Although they stopped and went all the way, they had a short break in the parks and the chairs of the station, and in the shops open 24 hours a day, but since Xu Xiangyang left school early, they have been tossing back and forth for a long time. What young people want most now is to find a place where they can sleep peacefully.

  ——For example, behind this door.

  ……

  This is at the end of a fork in the road. After turning in from the main road, there are still a few houses and shops in the first half of the road. The signboards displayed are all car wash shops and supporting hardware stores. Of course, they can't open the door at this point;

  You can go further inside, and you won’t see any traces of someone’s life. Dilapidated houses and piles of clutter, such as car tires and building materials, feel like a paradise for children nearby.

   Silence all the way. There are slogans written in bright red paint on the walls on both sides, which are now bleak; there are traces of people repainting on them, the names of people who have visited here, the warning of "no defecation", and the Political slogan joking doodle.

  This desolate feeling is like walking in a ruin.

  Walking on suburban land close to the urban-rural fringe often makes people feel sad and homesick.

   "Where is this?"

"have no idea……"

  It didn’t feel like a good place. Before Xu Xiangyang could open his mouth, he turned his head and saw the small gleaming look of the squad leader, who was obviously interested in it.

  "Shall we go in and have a look? Okay? Okay?"

  Obviously, she is fleeing nervously, and she may be caught by a group of dangerous elements anytime and anywhere. It's really fortunate that she can maintain this curious and joyful attitude wherever she goes...

  Ms. Qingyue’s performance is like the kind of princess who has just escaped from the castle and is preparing to elope to a foreign country with someone. In the eyes of girls, the world is always full of novelty and incredible, rather than crisis-ridden.

  However, this kind of laid-back attitude is more like going out with friends on an outing than escaping in embarrassment. It unknowingly makes Xu Xiangyang feel at ease, so there is nothing wrong with it.

   "Maybe it's a garbage dump, the smelly one."

  The Rapunzel standing aside, holding her arms, said unceremoniously. Unlike Xu Xiangyang, she never saves Qingyue.

   "Hey~No way?"

  Sir squad leader expressed suspicion, her nose fluttered slightly, and she sniffed near the door for a while like a puppy.

   "I don't smell the smell. It smells like metal."

   "...Well, you can enter if you want, no one will stop you."

   Lin Xingjie was a little helpless.

   "If you are not afraid that this place is an ambush place carefully selected by the group of guys."

   "It's impossible. Even I didn't know that I would come to such a place. If I were not with you, maybe I would never have this chance in my life...If they could really catch up, I would admire it more."

When Zhu Qingyue was still talking, Lin Xingjie had already stepped forward.

  There is a chain of iron hanging on the door handle. The Rapunzel stretched out her hand and pulled it slightly. She didn't work hard, and the chain fell off by herself.

  With no one pushing the door, the door slowly opens to the inside. The rusty gears made a sour noise, like welcoming them home.

  *

"Wow……"

After entering it, Xu Xiangyang heard Qingyue’s exclamation in his ears, and Xingjie’s breathing became rapid; and he was also surprised at the sight of the door open behind him, and subconsciously slowed down.

  It was like traveling in an endless desert, but a magnificent palace suddenly appeared in front of you...

  Of course, this kind of shabby place, it is impossible to have an ingenious, well-designed palace; similarly, he also believes that no one will regard this place as a scenic spot.

   Therefore, all scenes are presented "unconsciously"; and it is precisely because no artificial elements have been added that such scenes can be created in the wrong place.

  Rough, yet full of momentum——

  —— Inside the door, is a waste car treatment plant.

  The area is quite large, so you can barely see the head at a glance.

  The protagonists in the processing plant are naturally those scrapped cars stacked up like hills.

  One car overlaps one another, and each car has traces of being overturned by a huge machine, like a flat can, just thrown aside, and gradually becomes a pile.

These "tower piles" made up of abandoned vehicles are as short as a few heads and nearly ten meters high, like a tower standing in the wilderness; It may fall, causing a loud noise and squashing people who accidentally pass underneath.

However, when people really feel anxious and come to the tower built by abandoned cars, they will find that it is actually very quiet; the sense of imbalance that the building will seem to be, but the audience’s psychological level Illusion.

  The car tower is as quiet as a tall tomb, indifferent and unmoving in the night, experiencing wind and rain, but it has not changed at all, just like a thousand-year-old pyramid in the desert.

  The high and low car towers stretch towards the end of the distant field of vision, like a whole hilly area where steel and glass converge...

  And all of this is bathed in the hazy moonlight, flowing with cold brilliance in the dark night.

  ……

   "It's amazing." Zhu Qingyue said with emotion, "I have only seen this kind of place in the newspaper before. I didn't expect that the feeling would be so different when I saw it with my own eyes."

   "Yes, it's obviously an abandoned place."

  Xu Xiangyang also found it strange. The scene before him is a real spectacle.

  Are there really so many cars in this city? Or is it all just an illusion that happened in front of him, a kind of metaphorical fantasies?

  They came to this place unintentionally and witnessed a scene that would never even appear in their dreams:

A huge bright yellow jade plate is suspended in the mid-air very close to the earth. Below is a cold world like ruins, and faint, dreamlike light is scattered everywhere, adding to this car cemetery. Kind of fantasy color.

"Look, that's the one who brought us here!" Lin Xingjie pointed to the yellow vehicle left by the owner in front, covered with a thick layer of dust, "There are also motorcycles, vans, buses, and buses. ..."

  The girls counted past one by one, and each car carried a period of time and a memory.

  The cold wind blowing under the moon faintly, blowing through the flat tires and hood, and blowing through the broken window glass.

  The sound of wind circling in the empty car yard gradually became sobbing, like someone singing softly on a distant stage, whispering sadly.

  Young people slowly pass by these hills with industrial sense and abandoned aesthetics everywhere, and walk under their heavy shadows.

  There is silence on the four banks, except for the sound of the wind, no insects can be heard, it is as if there is only this place left between the sky and the earth, this place is isolated from the world...

  The silent metal sculpture around is like a dead body.

   Then, they finally reached the end of the ruins.

"That is……"

  Xu Xiangyang stared at the front.

   "It's a factory."

  At the end of the junkyard is a wall. Standing on a high place, they could see the construction site on the other end of the wall. The construction site was full of steel bars, cement boards, and wood scattered all over the place. The area was wide, but they could not see the slightest popularity. It looks like a deserted wilderness that can be haunted at any time.

  A cement mixer and a tower crane stand alone there, pitying themselves and relying on each other for their lives.

   "There are still unfinished buildings."

  After the construction site, there are several buildings with more than ten stories. The surface is the color of gray lacquer, without painting, no doors and glass, simple openings, like holes without eyeballs.

  ……

  Xu Xiangyang exhaled heavily, not knowing how to describe his feelings at the moment.

  At the end of the junkyard is a wall, and at the other end of the wall is the construction site; beyond the construction site, there are unfinished buildings standing on the horizon.

  This is all he has in his vision.

  At the end of the second millennium, it is said in the doomsday prophecy that there will be a king of terror descending from the sky and destroying the earth in the autumn night. The boy stood in the car maze at the end of the century and felt that he had seen the end of this world.
