Steel Steam and Flame

Didn't hear the sound of rain, Trinya opened her eyes wide, wanting to break through the tented ward and the external occlusion directly, to really see the situation outside. All that enters the eyes is darkness, and the pain in the orbit after opening the eyes. She raised her unrestrained head and cast her gaze to the gaps in the screened curtains of the tented ward, where a faint light loomed in front of her.

Doubting whether she saw it wrong, Trinya blinked her eyes several times, trying to better adapt to the dim environment. Gradually, but only for a few breaths, the faint light in front of her was indeed captured by her—this hospital may also be a huge tent, at the end of the line of sight, the tent should be cut by something, There is a gap.

When she thought this way, her eyes seemed to be more adapted to the environment, the light became clear, and a faint red appeared, but it was still dim.

The torrential rain had indeed stopped, Trinya confirmed the strange feeling, and then concluded that it was already night. Then she wondered what was going on around her. The abnormal quietness brought terror, and she really wanted to sleep on it, maybe it was just because the hospital had a power outage, and there were patients around, that's why it happened. But the source of the sound was her own heartbeat and breathing, and this fact kept reminding her that the anomaly was the current situation.

After a few breaths of thinking, she still decided not to roar, and she must take action.

Having to get out of this ward, Trinya mustered up her limited energy to find out what needs to be done first. Immediately, he moved his body, and the leather straps that bound his body had a different kind of toughness. She moved her hands again and found that there was a little gap in the leather strap around her wrist.

"It should be able to be pulled out by force." Trinya is not sure, but can only try to do it. She curled her fingers into a ball as much as possible, and began to use force, trying to pull out her right hand that was bound by the leather strap. But after trying it only once, there was pain from the part where the wrist connected to the palm, and there was already a slight wound.

This is also a strange feeling. The pain is obviously not strong, and it is not even considered pain, but it is particularly obvious in the sense of touch. Trinya wrote down this situation, then opened her mouth slightly to breathe gently, and started the second attempt.

When she started to exert herself, the dim light around her suddenly became much brighter. Outside the separated curtain, the looming ray of light suddenly rose sharply, quite like the effect of a light red lamp.

A bright reddish light came over and landed on Trinya's face. She tilted her head, and her eyes were still a little uncomfortable. After a few breaths, with the help of this bright light, his rather strange white body came into sight.

Trinya couldn't help but look at it a few more times, only to realize that the strange fairness was because the skin had changed color at some point, and there was a large area of ​​pale gray. Whereas the color appears intense, a thin layer of viscous liquid similar to sweat has been secreted, sticking to the skin.

The next moment, he thought of the man who was holding his neck and standing at the mouth of the underground waterway. The strange white skin and viscous liquid are the precursors of changing to the same situation as that man.

"Your life has come to a fork in the road, which side to go, the decision is actually in your hands. On one side of the fork, your life is less than a few hours left..." Dr. Punuos' words continued, appearing in Trinya's memory.

The fear and fear suddenly increased, and Trinya couldn't help but began to recite silently. It was the words she hadn't known how long she had recited: "I don't want to die. If I want to live, I don't want to die. I must live... I can’t die, I can’t die, it’s not that I don’t want to die,,,”

"I can't die, I can't die..." While meditating silently, the corpse of the colleague who fell into the stagnant water clearly appeared in his head again, as if he was right beside him. The silent words began to be mixed with crying. Although she saw only one corpse, she knew that all the people in that car had died except herself.

"Is anyone there? Can someone come over and see me, am I going to die?" Finally, Trinya shouted out, and the voice echoed around, but no one answered.

The next moment, when the echo disappeared, multiple "click" sounds appeared, accompanied by the violent shaking of the ground. The sound of "click" suddenly intensified, objects fell, and the sound of buildings collapsing occurred at the same time.

"This place is going to collapse to the ground too?" Unreasonable expectations appeared in Trinya's head, and with a "boom", she felt that she had fallen a little distance down.

Later, Trinya realized that she seemed to be sitting up at the moment. It was not until the hospital bed tilted forward at a relatively large angle that she realized that the ground had tilted and was collapsing into an invisible hole ahead. The unfixed hospital beds slid forward, and when most of them got out of the tented ward, they got stuck on the steps of the aisle and stopped.

At this moment, among the mixed sounds, the sound of a piece of cloth being torn apart was particularly prominent. Before Trinya had time to distinguish, the darkness above her head was torn open, revealing a dim red night sky, the stars were still the same as before, but the cold moon had already taken on a hazy light red halo.

This momentary scene seemed to stop time, but the next moment, the ground dropped again.

Trinya let out a startled sound, only to see a huge hole in the ground tens of meters ahead, like a biological mouth, devouring a large number of things that rolled in due to the tilt of the ground—used as tents for wards, Medical equipment, chairs and tables, and other patients who were firmly bound to the hospital bed, eyes closed and fell into a deep sleep, did not wake up.

"Boom!" In a very short time, the ground collapsed again, and the tilt angle of UU Reading www.uukanshu.com allowed the hospital bed stuck on the steps to continue sliding.

"I can't die, I can't die..." Trinya cried and roared, but the hospital bed was almost thrown out, and fell to the front of the hollow that looked terrifying under the pale red night light. She pulled out her hand again, the pain and so on were no longer within the scope of thinking.

The distance of tens of meters only took ten seconds. When the hollow area expanded to the surrounding area and covered the entire hospital, Trinya finally pulled out her hands, and the palms were full of bright red and gray and white blood. . She hurried to untie the leather straps on her body. But the hospital bed had already fallen, and then turned over in the weightless environment.

With the help of the light at night, she saw the bottom of the hollow, which was only forty or fifty meters away from herself—a mass of twisted roots that were alive and wriggling. There is a huge gray-white flower bag growing on the root of the tree, which seems to be slowly unfolding at the moment, revealing the bright red flower core.

The falling Trinya could only block her body with her hands at the last moment, and the instant fall ended. Huge power was transmitted to her body, and indescribable pain spread all over her body, and her sight was swallowed by the darkness.
