When the earthquake came, everything on the earth shook violently, and the birds jumped up from the branches, flapping their wings and flying higher and higher.The building began to collapse, and the usually strong building was now as fragile as a Lego toy. It became ruins in a few seconds, and the dust in the sky was wiped out by the rain.The mountain began to slide, and many trees were wrapped in mudslides and surged toward the surface, covering sidewalks, vehicles, corpses, houses, and bridges, and buried all the traces of the city's existence in the mud.People screamed in panic, hugged their heads and wailed. The broken reinforced concrete wall fell from the sky, smashing those who survived the day before into a pulp.Mud got into people's eyes, ears, and nose, preventing them from taking in more air.Countless everyday objects—such as books, bags, candy boxes, hand-made staplers, etc.—become lethal weapons under the action of gravity, and the acceleration allows them to evolve and become extremely lethal weapons.They fly out of the window and fall randomly, hitting your shoulder, your arms hugging your relatives or lovers, your eyes looking up to the ground, your straight or slumped nose bridge, your proud brain—a bit sharper The ones may stick straight into the top of your skull, giving your head an extra view.

The intersection of Rainbow Avenue is a very wide intersection, Ou Huiye and Su Weiyi are sitting in the very center of the intersection, the surrounding buildings are collapsing, everything is falling down desperately, crowds and animals are fleeing, the earth is not moving Stop shaking.Lightning flashed across the sky, rumbling thunder and vibrations of the land and raindrops composed a mournful dirge.

Ou Huiye looked at the distant ground lights through the rain curtain, red, orange, twinkling.

I don't want to die at all, Su Weiyi said, I haven't lived enough, I haven't been a master yet.

So what.

Su Weiwei took out his mobile phone, and he said, before the two of us are shocked to death, let's play a live broadcast.Su Weiyi clicked on the live broadcast platform, but the audience on the platform was pitifully small, and there were only a dozen live broadcasts, and the covers were all scenes of escape.

Cracks had already begun to appear on the ground, and the pitch-black cracks spread in zigzags. The cracks opened towards the center of Su Weiyi and Ou Huiye at a speed visible to the naked eye.Su Weiyi grabbed Ou Huiye's wrist, he was still sane.The whole world was shaking, he didn't know where he came to the conclusion, he told Ou Huiye that the earth was going to explode.

The violent shaking caused Su's only mobile phone to fall, but it did not fall to the ground, it fell into the endless abyss.Ou Huiye was dumbfounded. There was a crack about ten centimeters wide between him and Su Weiyi. This crack was so long that it was almost impossible to see the other end.The interior of the earth is rapidly cracking, and the huge vibrations make this crack tend to expand to both sides, and it has become wider and wider.Su Weiyi firmly grasped Ou Huiye's wrist, and Ou Huiye also firmly grasped him.Ou Huiye was about to jump to Su Weiyi's side. Just as his left foot was in the air, the avenue under his right foot had collapsed. The dense cracks were like fine spider webs tearing apart the land.

Ou Huiye fell down with a pile of gravel.

Su Weiyi didn't let go, he held on tightly, lying on the ground, struggling to pull Ou Huiye up.The ground on his side was still intact, and a broken building rolled towards him, and he thought it would hit him, but no, the broken building finally stopped firmly beside him.He thought for half a second, and freed one hand to grab the steel bars on the outside of the building. He stood up with difficulty, and he felt that he was about to pull Ou Huiye up.

Ou Huiye could already grasp the ground with one hand, and he could climb up with just a little more force.But at this time, Su Weiyi suddenly saw the ghost Nan Yuan.

Nan Yuan sat on that building, holding a rusty ax in his hand. He looked down at Su Weiyi, and after a while he went to look at Ou Huiye's bleeding fingers.He smiled in the storm, he looked at Su Weiyi with malicious intent, and when he looked at Ou Huiye, he was full of affection.Su Weiyi had already started to panic, he said loudly, Lao Ye, I saw Nan Yuan again.

Ou Huiye held on, and the upper half of his head had already protruded from the crack in the abyss. He seemed to see something in the pouring rain, a vague figure.The figure walked down lightly, walked to Su Weiyi's side, and to Ou Huiye's wounded fingers.The wind ruffled the figure's hair, and the figure squatted down, carefully touching his fingertips and stroking his face.He felt a different kind of touch, icy cold, and a little sticky, like a snake letter.Su only knew what it was. It was fresh blood. Nan Yuan applied the blood on Ou Huiye's eyebrows, corners of eyes and lips.He smeared his lips bright red and eye-catching, which was particularly eye-catching.He opened Ou Huiye's fingers one by one, admiring his astonished expression.

He put his eyes on Su Weiyi, and pointed the ax in his hand at Su Weiyi's fingers holding the steel bar, without hesitation for a second, he slashed down hard.The moment the fingers flew out, Su Weiyi and Ou Huiye fell down. They were still holding each other's hands firmly.

The abyss under the crack is bottomless, they have been falling rapidly, the surroundings are dark, they can't see each other's faces clearly, they can only feel the fierce air current, whistling, the cells and blood vessels are being blown away by the wind Filled up.

The ghost knows where we will fall, Su Wei endured the wind like a knife.

I guess the earth is divided into two, and we are going to fall into space, Ou Huiye said, a wound was cut on his tongue by the wind, and tears came out in pain.

No one knows where they will die. They may lose their breath during the fall, be burned to ashes by the temperature of the earth's core, or they may float into the vast space, die of suffocation, die of black holes, die of starvation and die of space junk, Who knows.

The huge high-speed rail station was razed to the ground in an instant, and there were ruins everywhere. The support ribs pierced through the irregular walls, and there were still some limbs of staff in uniform hanging from them.The huge energy released by the earthquake wiped out all the buildings in Yuanci, the roads collapsed or were lifted up, and the pillared houses turned into rubble and rubble, and they could no longer see their original appearance.

A dark fissure in the ground cut across rice fields and railway tracks, tearing the ground apart.Only one long white train was still intact, the platform and safety exits were all shattered and sunken, and the mist floated up in the sky, covering the city.The earth is still roaring, and there are loud noises like the roar of a beast.The whole city is like a raft in a storm, ups and downs on the boundless and turbulent ocean. When a wave hits, the raft made of several pieces of wood will be torn apart.

The white train hangs steadily above the wide cracks in the ground, and it stands alone, no matter how everything around it is destroyed or disturbed, it has nothing to do with it.It is as quiet and indifferent as a monster, even if its path is already twisted and broken, it doesn't pay any attention to it, and it ignores everyone.

Mo Shiguang stood behind the train door, dripping all over his body, and witnessed a drastic change in the city through the two glass windows.As in countless disaster movies, in the heavy rain, everything is destroyed, thick smoke rises, brick walls and creatures are thrown into the air, thrown out of the smoke, and fall wildly at the highest point.There seems to be a huge mole under the road, digging the soil desperately, making the road soft, undulating again, as if it has life, and is undergoing a violent wave movement.

Nian Sinian, who was also wet, went to the fifth carriage and pushed a dining car full of snacks and drinks.What to eat?Nian Si Nian said.Mo Shiguang didn't speak, turned around and tore off the bread he was holding in his mouth, and then turned back to stare at the disaster outside the window, while quietly biting the bread.He stuffed Mo Shiguang with a bottle of water and a lollipop, then found a seat for himself, and started eating instant noodles.

The strong aroma of instant noodles seduced Mo Shiguang and brought him to Nian Sinian. He sat next to Nian Sinian and said, I want it too.

Nian Sinian didn't quite understand Mo Shiguang's sudden change. He seemed to have put away those aggressive thorns since he got on the train, or it might be because of some reason that those thorns became sluggish and no longer aggressive.Nian Sinian didn't intend to figure out the reason for this, he liked Mo Shiguang like this, docile and soft.

When he brought back hot water for Mo Shiguang, Mo Shiguang had almost finished the bowl he had soaked earlier.He pushed the newly made instant noodles to Mo Shiguang, and Mo Shiguang continued to eat unceremoniously.He wasn't really hungry, so he lit a cigarette.

Mo Shiguang didn't lift his head in the heat, he said, I remember that smoking is not allowed on the high-speed rail.

This is not a high-speed rail.

Oh.

The train hadn't left yet, and the earthquake and rainstorm hadn't stopped yet, but this place seemed to be cut off from the outside world, and the tremors and turbulence of the earth couldn't shake the slightest bit.Outside the window is a piece of gray, gray sky, gray fog, gray rain, gray ruins, the only color is about the blue plastic bag, blown full by the wind, like a balloon, swaying in the rain.

Something fell into the instant noodle soup, and with a ticking sound, it fell straight out of Mo Shiguang's eyes.That voice was very clear in the silent carriage. Mo Shiguang paused, put down the plastic fork in his hand, and pushed away the instant noodle box, unwilling to take another bite.

It was a tear, and Mo Shiguang didn't want to eat his tears.But he didn't look like he was going to cry either. He had no expression on his face, with some watery eyes on one side and no eyes on the other. He just looked at Niansi Nian's smoke and said nothing.Nian Sinian threw the things on the table into the trash can and crushed the cigarette in the sink.He saw his own face in the mirror, bloody, and the hideous scar gave his face something wild, like a wild dog.He washed off the stains on his face, and raised his head again, his gloomy eyes softened a lot.

Mo Shiguang came to pick up a cup of instant coffee, and he told Mo Shiguang that he wanted it too, and Mo Shiguang obediently went back to get another cup.A moment of rage, a moment of meekness, like a precursor to schizophrenia, Nian Sinian thought when he picked up a paper cup of coffee.

Are you sleepy?He asked Mo Shiguang.

where are we going?Mo Shiguang asked him back.

Who knows, Nian Sinian said, this is a train leading to another universe, the new universe of the 34th century.He put down the instant coffee, feeling the need to explain something to the docile Mo Shiguang, and he continued, you are the second person to get on this train in the 21st century.

Who is the first one?

Tian Tiantian.

Mo Shiguang looked at him, Tian Zhoucheng's sister?

Correct.

How are you two?

No, Nian Sinian said, she had a good time with the hero, do you remember the hero?The one who plays the drums.

Mo Shiguang said, she likes you.

I know, she likes my face, she told me.But this time I never spoke to her, and she was not with the hero either.I have been here for 11 years, and it is five years plus the year when I first came here. In 2014, do you understand?

understand slightly.

Smile every year, what is a little understanding of the law?

Seems to understand.

Nian Sinian thought for a while, and suddenly jumped to a topic, why don't you drive me away?Don't you think I'm annoying?

When the earthquake came again before Mo Shiguang's eyes, Nian Sinian dragged him away desperately. There were dangerous buildings in all directions. They avoided the collapsed objects while escaping in the closed high-speed rail station.He remembered the moment when Nian Sinian pushed him towards the open gate of the white train, a huge crack suddenly opened under Nian Sinian's feet, and he almost fell into the abyss.He pulled him desperately to keep him from falling.He was crying at that time, and the tears mixed with the rain, and no one saw it.

Every death he has seen in his life is almost brutally unfolded in front of him. He wants to stop all this, he wants to save them, he doesn't want to watch anyone die in front of him again, the feeling of powerlessness that comes from the tide , making him sad to the point of death.But this time he pulled the rope between life and death, and for the first time he felt that he had strength.He held Nian Sinian's hand so tightly that he cried with all his might.Nian Sinian asked him to let go several times, but he didn't hear it. The rain fell so fast and hard, and the sound of the city collapsing was so deafening, he couldn't hear anything, he didn't even hear his own cry.

When he pulled Nian Sinian up, he hugged Nian Sinian fiercely for the first time, a wet hug was not warm, there was cold water everywhere, only his tears were hot, dripping down to Nian Sinian On his shoulder, that piece was almost burning.He was crying so badly, Nian Sinian wrapped his arms around his shoulders, without saying anything, just leaning against his warm skin full of vitality, quietly listening to his cries.

Then what?Mo Shiguang said, without answering his question, how did she get in the car?

He walked up with his legs, Nian Sinian said.

Go ahead, don't squeeze toothpaste.

Nian Sinian glanced out of the window and wiped her wet forehead hair behind her head.He said, that was the fifth year of 2015 after I came here, which was also the last year of 2015, and that day was April 4, Friday.She quarreled with Daxia in the morning and came to see me at noon.I forgot to tell you, in the two years of the last cycle, I did not open a black Internet cafe, I worked as a waiter in the main artery.She came to my house to look for me, complaining to me that the hero is too lazy to buy her breakfast, and she didn't even take the physical exam.

Remember so clearly?Mo Shiguang said.

I have a good memory.She didn't have to take the exam in the afternoon, so she just stayed at my house and watched Indian movies on WIFI. I had an affair with you at that time, and you logged off when you heard her voice. I couldn't help laughing, and you came to my house after a while.You called Tian Zhoucheng to drive her away, but when Tian Zhoucheng came, he said that there was no one in his house and he wanted to eat here, so I ordered beef in sour soup and we ate happily together.After eating, you went to the Internet cafe with Tian Zhoucheng. I didn't go, neither did Tian Tiantian. She said she would wait for her brother to go home with me.

Then she found my luggage.Nian Sinian said, I wanted to leave that meeting, but you always don't remember me, every time you have to get to know me again, I'm so tired.So I thought, let’s go, love comes and goes, isn’t that what it is in the end, doesn’t it just need someone to accompany me, I have been alone for so many years, it doesn’t matter if there is one more person or one less person.What's more, I like the new and dislike the old, maybe one day I will stop loving you.

Mo Shiguang handed him a bottle of mineral water, and said, drink some water, let's make your mouth dry after so much.Nian Sinian said, I want to drink ice.Mo Shiguang said, don't be picky, drink or not.Nian Sinian took a sip and continued, Then, she asked me if I was going on a trip, I said yes, she asked me where I was going, I said Macau, she said she was going too.I asked her if you had any money, and she said yes, and she saved up what the heroes gave her.

You know, I'm quite casual, so she has no objection, and neither do I, so I took her to the high-speed rail station, that night.You know, there's no way I'm going to Macau.I lied to her, I said I would go to Xiamen first, and then fly to Macau, she believed it, little girls are easy to trust people, much better than you.

The train we got on was the current one, and I wanted to try to see if she could get on this train, but the most important thing was to know if she could get off.This car is the only passage through the multiverse. I don't know how it breaks time and space and reaches another universe. Anyway, these are beyond the scope of my understanding.

Then what?Mo Shiguang asked.

Then, she regretted it when she got in the car, and she asked me, why is there no one in the car, where did the crew and passengers go?I just said, this train can travel through the universe, and she is going to travel through it.She told me to stop reading those time travel novels, they are all lies.She also called me mentally retarded, I thought she was very funny, so I said yes, I am mentally retarded.Later she was sleepy and slept alone on two seats.When she woke up, the car had already stopped.The car door opened and she ran out alive and well, and I was nervous.I stood behind her, I watched her, and I skipped through the door.

Nian Sinian blinked his eyes and lit his cigarette again.

Her whole being was shattered to nothing but a shiny, dusty substance, and she just disappeared without stepping through the narrow door.Particles from the old universe cannot enter the new universe, and she in the 21st century cannot enter the universe in the 34th century.I didn't go out of that door either, I didn't dare to go out, I sat in front of the door, thinking all night.I think that once I go out, I will never see you again, no matter which universe will have you again.The universe the train goes to is random and parallel, and I can't control it. There are too few universes like yours left in the past.If there are only you in this universe among countless universes, then where will I find you.And I can't guarantee whether you in other universes will love me or whether I will love him or not. After all, you are different. Although you are identical in structure, you are you, and you are the only one in the universe.

Mo Shiguang nodded and said, um, my name is Mo Weiwei.

Then I went back the same way, I walked to the other end of the train, and I came back here again.The first thing I did when I came back here was to be taken into prison by the police, because Tian Tiantian didn’t come back, they said I sold her, I didn’t know how to explain it, so I confessed to the charges of human traffickers they charged me, she Die because of me indeed.I told the police that I was right, I sold her for 50.If it weren't for the police to protect me, Tian Zhoucheng and Daxia would definitely beat me to death.Like everyone who hates me, they want to cut off my flesh piece by piece, cook it and feed it to the dogs.Nian Sinian smiled, you didn't come to see me, I spent a month in prison, it was my first time in prison, three meals a day were delivered to me, and they were wrapped, I felt pretty good.By ten o'clock in the morning on May [-]rd, everything went backwards.Because I am not affected by the time of this universe, I am not going backwards, and I am still in prison.In the process of Yuan Ci going back, I walked out of the prison openly.

I saw the sun gliding from the east to the west at the speed of light, the sky darkened and then brightened, the flowers withered and bloomed again, and countless people walked backwards, not like walking, but flying back and forth like dolls.Half a second of heavy rain, half a second of lightning and thunder, half a second of clear sky, or maybe not half a second, that speed is too fast.To put it this way, I feel like I am watching a 730-day landscape documentary played in reverse at 2013 times speed in a VR version, and the surroundings are changing wildly.I stood in front of the prison gate, the change made me dizzy, threw up several times, and the whole world was spinning and twisting.Some of the people flying around hit me, the pain was so painful that I almost died of pain, I cleverly climbed to the roof, so I didn't get hit by someone alive.I stayed there for almost two hours before the documentary ended, and then you came alive, back to the moment of 5 o'clock in the morning on May 3, 10.
