My city has become the last pure land in the global apocalypse

"How long are you going to sleep! It's almost 11 o'clock and you're still sleeping! You're just playing hard during the holidays. You don't sleep at night and don't get up during the day!"

A woman opened the door and looked at the girl still lying on the bed with an unhappy face.

"Don't get up soon!"

"Wait a minute to pick up your brother and bring him back for dinner. It won't worry anyone!"

After saying that, she stepped forward and lifted the quilt.

Gu Yu looked at the woman stupidly.

"mom?"

"..."

The woman looked at her daughter with messy hair speechlessly.

"Your hair is too long and you don't like to take care of it. Can I cut it shorter for you?"

Gu Yan touched her hair in horror, but she couldn't cut it!

She had always had short hair from elementary school to junior high school, and finally started to grow it long after she entered high school. Until now, she has never cut her hair a few times, at most it has been thinned.

Hair is very precious to her!

"Okay, okay, get up quickly!"

Gu Ju stood in front of the toilet window. She held a cup and bit her toothbrush, looking at the bamboo forest, the sparkling pond, and the tall and short buildings not far away.

Tears flowed out of her eyes uncontrollably, flowing down her cheeks and into her neck, feeling warm and moist.

If this was all a dream, she didn't want to wake up.

After washing up, she quickly drank a bowl of hot sweet soup.

Then I rode an electric bike and put on my helmet and went out.

Her younger brother went to play at a relative's house. The relative had a child about his age, and the two had a good relationship.

The summer wind was a little warm, and it felt warm on my face.

The skin began to heat up slightly due to the sunlight.

Looking at the sugar cane fields on both sides of the concrete road, and the buffaloes gnawing on weeds in the fields.

Gu Yan took a long breath and spit it out hard.

Maybe, maybe, she just had a nightmare?

What kind of doomsday, what kind of goddess? Maybe it was because she stayed up all night and read some kind of doomsday novel?

"I don't want to go home to eat, I'll stay at his house to eat!"

The younger brother who didn't want to go home finally put on his helmet angrily and sat in the back as her face became darker and darker.

"Mom cooks the same thing every day!"

"Then what do you want to eat?"

"I don't know. Anyway, I don't want to eat those. I eat them every day. I'm sick of it! The white radish my mother grows herself is either stewed with radish, stewed with radish, or shredded radish in salad. It makes my farts stink. .”

"Then you can tell mom what you want to eat."

Gu Yu tilted her head and said as loudly as possible.

After returning home, Gu Yu skillfully served the dishes and rice.

She looked at the black table in the dining room, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

Then he shook his head quickly.

She must have been dreaming for too long, which made her a little depressed. She couldn't stay up late tonight and had to go to bed early.

The sound of cicadas in summer is very loud.

It was clearly still noon, but in the bamboo forest not far from the window, cicadas kept calling.

After finishing her meal, she cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks.

Returned to his room.

She looked at the old wooden table.

There are also some yellowed walls. Due to heavy rain and water leakage, the wall skin is a little foamy at the corners. Now it looks black, as if there are mold spots.

Gu Yan leaned on the table with her chin propped up. She looked lazily at the scenery outside the window next to the table. From here, she could just see the angle of the bamboo forest.

Why does she feel uneasy?

In the next few days, Gu Yu changed her habit of staying up late. Ever since she had that long dream, she would always get distracted for no reason every day.

Thinking of the dream full of zombies, falling meteorites, and tilted mountains and rivers, Gu Yan felt a palpitation in her heart.

If she came across a commentary on a doomsday movie on Douyin, she would panic and swipe away.

Maybe it’s going to bed early and getting up early that plays a role, or maybe autosuggestion plays a role.

Gu Yan got up from the bed, habitually opening her eyes and looking at her phone first.

It was only early 6 o'clock.

But it was getting dark outside.

There was a worship ceremony in the village today, and she didn't know which ancestor she wanted to worship. Seeing her parents getting busy early in the morning, she couldn't care less about being in a daze, and hurriedly washed and changed clothes to help.

"Is there any festival today? Who do you want to worship?"

"Today is the 15th day of the sixth lunar month, and we have to worship the Mother of Grains~"

Gu Yan nodded: "Oh~"

Every month in her hometown, there are gods or ancestors who need to be worshiped, and it's not easy.

......

When we arrived at the worship gate, there were many people coming and going.

The sculpture of the Grain Mother is placed on the stone platform, and on one side is a banyan tree that has grown in the village for hundreds of years.

People who come to worship will pick a few leaves when they leave and put them on the door when they return. They will also use them to soak in a basin and wash their faces.

Gu Yan looked at her mother going in and out, busy with other things, and she seemed a little idle.

She stood under the big banyan tree and looked at the narrow river next to the banyan tree.

There was a school of fish swimming around inside.

For a while it rushed to the top, and for a while it rushed to the other side.

Looking at the rising smoke of the incense, smelling the faint sandalwood.

She looked at the grain mother on the stage. The red eagle was wearing a golden divine costume and holding a handful of golden rice ears in her hand.

【Let's go back】

Gu Yan blinked.

Is she hallucinating?

【Let's go back】

A gentle sigh sounded in his ears.

That strange but familiar trance appeared again.

At this time, countless pictures appeared in my mind like a card playing, and the gray and white pictures gradually became clearer.

【System upgrade~】

【Wow! There really is a hotel here! 】

【Oh my God, it’s so delicious! Woohoo~]

【what is that! This ball contains people! ? 】

[Quick, get a healing power user, someone is injured here! 】

【Will...Lucia...】

【This fireworks is so beautiful! 】

[New Year’s Eve~]

【goddess...】

Gu Yan gasped and shook her head vigorously.

She felt her heart suddenly became very tight and her breathing became rapid.

The sound in my ears slowly became clear again.

Gu Yan turned her head.

"Where's mom?"

She ran over in a panic, not seeing her mother at all.

A ray of light hit her face, and she blinked several times. The moment she raised her head, she felt as if the world was cast in an illusory shadow.

Along the road to the pond, Gu Yu ran all the way home.

The sparkling water of the pond became increasingly blurry.

The vegetable fields beside the river turned gray in patches.

The road has become so long.

It used to take less than five or six minutes to walk.

Why did I run for so long?

Still no end in sight.

The building at the end began to twist.

Gu Yan gasped, feeling extremely frightened.

don't want......

don't want.......

She wants to go home.

Mom promised to make sweet and sour pork ribs for her today.

Also fried her favorite sweet cake.

Mom also bought her favorite fruit.

She wants to go home.

Gu Yan ignored the tears on her face and ran tirelessly on this road.

Until the surroundings fell into darkness.

Everything is gone.

This is the dream.

[Ding~Congratulations to player Gu Yu for successfully completing the job transfer mission...]

Gu Yan opened her eyes and looked at the face that was magnified several times, and Will's tongue almost fell on her face.

Gu Yan pushed the big dog slightly in disgust.

Only then did I realize that my legs were a little numb.

She looked at the 20-pound cat curled up on her calf, and could only pull her leg back with difficulty.

Gu Yan sat up and leaned on the sofa, hugging the cat with one hand and rubbing Will's head with the other.

She really thought she was back home.

It turned out to be just a dream.
