He was already very familiar with the nearby roads, until he finally drove to an unfamiliar area two hours later.

 The torrential rain that lasted for more than 20 days flooded most of the city, and then the temperature plummeted, and the water froze.All the way through, it was all ice.

 He drove slowly because the ice was slippery and driving too fast was prone to accidents.He wasn't too confident in the snow chains he made.

 Every ten minutes or so he drove, he would stop, use red paint, and leave a mark, so as not to find his way home.

 On the ice, you can't see the edge at a glance, and all directions are the same. There is no compass, and you can't even recognize the direction.

 He drove for two hours before he saw a building, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.Fortunately, the distance is not too far, and if you move quickly, you can go back and forth in one day.

 When he got close and saw the buildings clearly, he secretly called out unlucky.

 It turned out that the buildings in front of him were half-flooded high-rise buildings. Due to the high floors, part of them were not flooded.

 What he needs most now is gasoline.But it is impossible for a gas station to be built on top of a tall building.This building is of little value to him.

 He drove until the nearest building before stopping. He took out his binoculars and looked ahead. He could see more and more buildings appearing on the ice.

 "It's one thirty. It takes about three hours to get back to the villa from here."

 It took him four hours to get here.In fact, on the way, he spent a lot of time just leaving marks.If you keep driving all the way, it will definitely not take so long.

 He thought about it and decided to drive another hour.In this way, it is not too late to return to the villa before [-] o'clock in the evening.

 After making a decision, he got into the car and drove forward.

 The further you go, the more buildings appear.He was a little excited, which meant that the terrain ahead was getting higher and higher.As long as you are on flat ground, you can quickly find a gas station.

 woo-

 Not far away, the wind blew outside, rolling snow particles and hitting the windshield.

 He couldn't help but slow down and drive more cautiously.

 click, click, click...

 The sound from the roof of the car made him scream that something was wrong, it was hail.It looks like it's going to snow heavily.

 "Can't go any further."

 He turned the steering wheel decisively, turned around on the spot, and drove back.

 After a while, he left the tall buildings and drove back along the road he came from.

 After driving for half an hour, suddenly, he felt the car vibrate suddenly, and there was a whistling sound from somewhere, and the car turned off.

 bad!

 He realized he was in trouble.

 After sliding forward for a certain distance, the car stopped.

 At this time, Chen Xu smelled a strong burnt smell, and large beads of sweat could not help appearing on his forehead. He turned the key with his hand, and muttered, "Don't let me lose the chain at this time."

 He turned it seven or eight times, but the engine still didn't respond.

 "This is terrible."

 He sat back in the chair and rubbed his face vigorously with his hands.

 Finally the worst-case scenario came, the car broke down and he couldn't fix it.

 Moreover, the car is parked on the ice, not in front of the village, not in the back of the shop.To make matters worse, there was hailstorm outside.

 "How to do?"

 After a while, he calmed down a bit, looking at the snow particles blown up by the wind outside, his brows were deeply frowned.

 After much deliberation, the only option is to wait for the hailstorm to stop.Get out of the car now, and it is very likely that you will be crushed to death by the hailstone.

 I just don't know when this hailstorm will stop.

 There is food, water, and gas for heating in the car, so it's okay to be trapped for a few days.What he was worried about was Luo Xiyun, what would she do if she couldn't go back by herself?

Chapter 23 Accident

 The snow was getting bigger and bigger, and the windshield of the car was completely covered by snow, so I couldn't see the situation outside.

 Chen Xu broke a piece of chocolate and stuffed it into his mouth. Hearing the howling wind outside, he couldn't help thinking of the typhoon that had no warning a month ago.I have already somewhat understood the content hidden behind the name of this dream world.

 "It turns out that "Survival at the End of the World" doesn't just refer to the disappearance of human beings in the world. There are still many natural disasters behind. When the dream is about to end, it may be the real end of the world."

 He sighed, unscrewed the lid of the thermos, and poured out a cup of hot water.Looking at the water mist coming out of the cup, his brows became more and more wrinkled.

 Now, he was caught in a dilemma. If the snow didn't stop, the final result would be to freeze to death.The food he brought can last for three to five days at most.

 And ten kilometers nearby, there are no buildings.If he leaves, since he doesn't know how to ski, he only brings skates, which are useless in the snow.In such heavy snow, he might die faster.

 To him, this is just a dream, so let's die, at most it's just an early end to the dream.

 but--

 "If I die, what will Luo Xiyun do?"

 He murmured, "Besides, I haven't put her to sleep yet, how could she just die like this."

 That's right, in the past few months, he has been so angry with such a woman, how can he be reconciled if he doesn't sleep with her?

 He ate the rest of the chocolate in two mouthfuls, drank a glass of water, and lay down on the seat, preparing to recharge his energy. When the hailstorm stopped, he left here and walked back.

 …………

 This wait is one night.

 The hail stopped in the evening, but it was more dangerous to go out at night, so Chen Xu waited another night.

 After dawn, he was ready.Before setting off, he cooked a steaming bowl of instant noodles. After eating and drinking enough, he opened the car door and left without looking back in the wind and snow.

 He can be said to be fully armed, wearing thick mountaineering winter clothing, goggles, a trekking pole, and a backpack behind him.

 "It's very windy."

 As soon as Chen Xu went out, he felt the wind was unimaginably strong, and every step he took was extremely strenuous.There was a thick layer of snow on the ground, which made it more difficult to move forward.

 At this time, he could only grit his teeth and move forward.

 In the wind and snow, there is a vast expanse of whiteness everywhere, and it is difficult to distinguish the direction.When he walked for a while, he only glanced at the compass so as not to lose his way.

 As he walked, Chen Xu couldn't help feeling a sense of loneliness in his heart.Perhaps it was only after losing that that he knew how to cherish it, and he was even more eager to see Luo Xiyun.

 It was also at this time that he realized how important Luo Xiyun's company was to him these past few months.

 Without her presence, would he really be able to admit this huge sense of loneliness by himself until now?

 He is just an ordinary person, even if he is more introverted, he doesn't like to make friends, and prefers to be alone.He is still a normal person, an inseparable part of human society.There is no way he can survive if he is isolated from the whole society alone.

 …………

 A few hours later, Chen Xu stopped for the fifth time, took out a piece of chocolate with difficulty from his pocket, bit off the outer packaging with his teeth, and ate it whole.

 Then, he took the thermos bottle from the side of the backpack, poured out the little water left, and drank it all in one gulp.

 He threw away the empty thermos and looked up.The wind and snow at this time were smaller than when we set off, and the visibility was also higher.

 The surrounding terrain has not changed in any way.

 "I must have walked ten kilometers." He roughly guessed that as the snow continued to fall, the snow on the ground became deeper and deeper, and with the exhaustion of physical strength, the speed became slower and slower.

 "Before it gets dark, we should be able to walk out of this ice."

 He rested for a few minutes, feeling that his heavy legs were rapidly losing heat, so he didn't dare to delay, so he stepped forward and continued to move forward.

 After walking for a few more hours, the ten pieces of chocolate in my pocket were all eaten, and the hot water in the two thermoses was also empty.

 tired.

 At this moment, he only had one feeling, as if his legs were not his own, and he was just walking forward mechanically.He kept gasping for breath, and his lungs were burning, as if he was about to gasp out of his throat.

 Gradually, his eyes began to darken in bursts.

 "No, you have to stop and rest for a while."

 His reason told himself that his body had reached its limit.

 Just then, he noticed the outlines of some buildings not far ahead.The spirit couldn't help being lifted, and finally walked out of the ice.

 It's easy to have a building, you can hide in it and have a good rest for a while, and eat something to restore your strength.

 At the thought of this, new strength was born in his body, and he walked towards the building.

 After another dozen steps, the outline of the building became clearer.

 "Keep going." He took a deep breath, encouraging himself.

 He took another step, and suddenly, his toes hit something and he lost his balance.At this moment, his physical strength was exhausted, and he couldn't adjust at all, so he fell headlong like this, and after falling, his body kept rolling down.

 "Oops."

 He was startled.Along the way, there is an unusually flat ice surface.He didn't expect that there was a slope here.Rolling all the way down, there was a bang on his forehead, and he hit a hard object, and his eyes stared for a moment.

 Finally, he rolled to the bottom of the slope, trying to open his eyes, but his vision was completely occupied by a patch of red.

 "It's over."

 He tried his best to stay awake, but his consciousness kept sinking, and he finally lost consciousness.

 …………

 "Why hasn't that bastard come back yet?"

 On the day Chen Xu left, at around eight o'clock in the evening, Luo Xiyun felt a little uneasy when he saw that he hadn't come back yet.

 In the past few months, Chen Xu often drove out, but never spent the night outside.This was true even during their Cold War.

 "Is he up to something again?"

 she thought grimly.During the day, she had already discovered that the heating in Chen Xu's room was working well, but the plug was unplugged.He dared to lie to her that the heater was broken, causing her to spend the past two days tidying up the utility room.

 As time went by, she became more and more uneasy, until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, she had to realize that something might have happened to Chen Xu.

 That night, she sat on the bed, covered with a quilt, but her heart was cold.She seems to have returned to the first month.The surrounding darkness, like a bottomless abyss, swallowed her bit by bit.

 "Chen Xu..."

 And only this man, who often makes her gnash her teeth with anger, can give her the strength to resist this kind of loneliness in this empty world.

 In this way, she sat withered all night.

 Until dawn, she stood up abruptly.

 She is going to find him.

Chapter 24 Duplicity

 "Chen...Xu..."

 Faintly, Chen Xu heard a voice from an unknown distance.

 who is calling me?

 He struggled to identify the source of the voice, but the surrounding darkness, like the tide, made him a little out of breath.The subconscious told him that this voice was very important to him.

 "Chen...Xu..."

 The voice sounded again, but it became smaller and was fading away.

 He panicked, struggled violently, and finally opened his eyes.

 Humph.

 When he moved, he pulled the wound, and the stinging pain from his forehead made his eyes stare.

 It took him a long time to recover, and finally he saw the scene in front of him clearly, which was a mass of dark clouds.

 The snow has stopped, and the sky is a little dark, but not completely dark yet,

 The time he was in a coma should not be too long.

 However, at this time his condition was very bad, half of his body was buried in the snow, and his hands and feet were already numb from the cold.Fortunately, he woke up early, if another hour or two passed, he would have been frozen to death.

 "Chen...Xu..."

 In the distance, a voice drifted over vaguely, amidst the howling wind, it was intermittent and couldn't be heard clearly.

 It was Luo Xiyun's voice.

 An indescribable emotion surged in Chen Xu's heart, and he wanted to respond.
