Doomsday city

Esses knew she was dead, but her perception was still there...

It was a very strange feeling, her heart stopped beating, her breathing stopped, but she knew that the door was pushed open, someone walked in and tried to drag her away, but the monster around her suddenly woke up, someone shot, but the monster just Staggered two steps back, then swooped forward to eat the shooters, and finally they were all dead, and fell by the door, the monster walked around them and left, and then there were more gunshots at the stairs, and then they were bitten to death The prison guards also stood up tremblingly, chasing the fresh food that was still alive.

Esther closed her eyes, but she saw it all.

Before she fell into a deep sleep, she knew that the speedboat had fallen, and she should go too, leaving here for the real hell.

"Esther." The clean floor projected the pastor's old face.

She opened her eyes again, and the surroundings were no longer dark, but a bright and bright hall. She couldn't see the walls, and the endlessly extended marble floor was like the horizon. She stepped on it with bare feet but didn't feel cold. Standing in front of the pastor, she said, "Where is this place?"

The old gentleman in the pastor's attire smiled kindly, and he was exactly the same as Esther remembered.

Yes, she was dead, Esther knew.

Looking at the wrist that had self-harmed, the corners of her eyes were a little sour. In fact, she wanted to survive, but the cruel reality could not tolerate any cowardly person. Whether she died today or tomorrow, the ending would be the same.She looked at the pastor, and unconsciously tightened her arms to hug herself. The strong trembling did not stop, and she still felt terrified.

"Where should I go?" It seems that when she was very young, she once asked the pastor where people would go after death. He said that good people would go back to heaven, a place without sorrow and pain, and bad people would go to heaven. Hell, forever tormented by the fire of karma and associated with Satan.

So is she good or bad?

"You can't go anywhere, Essus," the pastor stroked her hair, pointed at her head, and said, "What you have to do is to open your eyes and live." She followed the pastor's finger to look at the top of her head, and there was no The sky above the ceiling is very wide, there are no clouds to block, only the clean blue sky, extending in all directions like a canvas, without end.

"I'm already dead, pastor, I was bitten to death by a monster." Esses said with lingering fear, she remembered the pain of being bitten and the helplessness of being forced to end her life. Those who devour her, and she is just one of tens of thousands, that small and insignificant one.

"Are you sure you're dead?" the pastor said softly, his eyes were very gentle, as if he wanted to guide Esther to look at heaven instead of focusing on hell when he was a child, "Esther, you may be a little timid and don't believe You can conquer your fears yourself, but boy, you have something that no one else has."

Esther looked at the priest. Her life was over, but she didn't know herself very well.

What kind of person is she?She will get sick on purpose because she wants to win the love of her father, she will be naughty on purpose because she wants to be loved by her mother, because she hates her brother the most, she always gossips about him in front of others, because she is not good at making friends at school, she simply cut off contact with him because she likes him. She is a beautiful girl and always peeps, because she is afraid of being beaten up by her inmates, she becomes reticent, and because she is disgusted by others, she simply gives up on herself.

This is her, Esther Eli.

"I'm a pessimistic and useless person, pastor. I haven't done anything good since I was born." Esses looked down at her toes. She was used to doing this. The wide field of vision didn't suit her, and the pure sky didn't belong. For her, for Essers, the safest thing is to stand on that little bit of ground.

"You know what I think?" The pastor smiled and looked up at the sky. He took Esses's hand to tell her not to focus on the bottom, but to look farther away, "I know a child who is still 12 years old. Believe in Santa Claus, I know a child who stayed vigil all night on his father’s birthday, I know a child who is considerate to do housework in fear of his mother’s work, I know a child who is not as good as her brother, but she always tries her best to complete herself I know that there is a child who is very shy and dare not express his thoughts. I know that there is a child who is very fragile but always acts indifferent. I know that there is a child who works very hard in order to survive. Everyone has to work hard."

The pastor looked at Essers and said with a smile, "And that child is you, Esses."

Is it me?Sounds so good, could it be me?

"There's no need to mourn, child." The pastor reached out to wipe Esther's tears, and it was only then that she realized she was crying.

Esther wiped away her tears in embarrassment, but the grievance suppressed in her heart continued to rise like a fountain, and finally broke through her control and vented crazily.She changed from choking to howling, from crying quietly to crouching on the ground, Esses bit her lower lip, but her voice kept spilling out from the corner of her mouth, she wanted to say something, but she was afraid that she would go crazy if she said it , endured for 25 years, and put countless locks in her life. In order to become what everyone thinks of as "Esther", how many disguises did she have to wear, or how many things she had to do against her will?

She thought that no one knew, Esther thought that no one would know except herself.

"Children, no one is perfect. Good people in general values ​​will also do things that violate their conscience. Conversely, the so-called wicked people will show mercy sometimes. You compress yourself for the sake of others, and finally become no one. No, Esther, this is not right," the pastor said along her back, "Cry to your heart's content, release all the pain and sorrow, and then you will find that your true self is extremely brave, twisted and In a world of moral decay, you have the most special gifts."

Esther's eyes were swollen from crying, and she found a light shining on her body, which was warm and gentle.

"I don't know anything." Shaking her head, Essers grabbed the priest's sleeve, "I'm just an ordinary person."

The pastor smiled and said nothing, he got up slowly, and Essers followed his movements to look up, and finally the dazzling sunlight forced her to close her eyes.When she opened it again, Essers suddenly found that there was no smooth marble floor, no vast sky, no warm sunlight, only a closed room full of blood and stench, and a slightly open iron door.

……I'm alive?

Essers sat wonderingly, and there was severe pain in her arms and calves, but this pain seemed to be numb, and Esses could divert her attention to more things.She tried to get up, stumbled and tried three times, Essers managed to stand up against the wall, and then dragged her legs to walk outside. There were bloodstains on the floor along the way, obviously it had been a while.

Stepping on the dried black blood, she didn't hear any sound, the whole speedboat was extremely quiet, and the atmosphere was eerie and scary.

Essers swallowed her saliva, she held her breath and walked to the deck, the strong sea wind blew her up and down, she finally stumbled into the cabin, and saw two rows of shocking scenes, which were the dead bodies of ten people whose heads had been beheaded. The ground was stacked on both sides of the wall, but it was rare for Esther to breathe calmly after experiencing so much wind and rain.

It's the prison guard's clothes.

Esses found that the lying corpses were all the prison guards on board, including those wearing protective clothing. She didn't dare to get too close, so she turned around and went to the kitchen. Suddenly, there was a harsh sound from the radio in the ship. Esther couldn't help covering her ears.

"... here... it's... here... Seth... here..." Serious interference made the voice messy, and Esther could vaguely hear someone calling her name, "... here... at... the captain ... here... room...", she looked around suspiciously, and finally found a monitor in the corner, and pointed at herself at the camera, "... here... quickly... come... here..."

Essus understood, and no matter who she was, let her go to the captain's cabin.She dragged her legs and groped for the route on the swaying speedboat. She didn't see any monsters along the way, only traces of previous fights, but the scene like hell was enough to make her tense. It took a while for Esther to find the captain's cabin. The road was blocked by many chairs and boxes, and she had to use her hands to get close.

Esses was lying under a chair, her legs didn't work and she had no strength, so she could only drag her body with one hand and crawl. Just as she was panting, a familiar roar came from a distance, it was the sound of a monster sound.

Oops!

Essers felt a chill in her heart, she gritted her teeth and tried to speed up her movements, but the violent sound of the crawling and colliding tables and chairs obviously attracted the monster's attention.Essers didn't dare to look back, she knew that the monster was not far away, and the clear memory of being bitten kept popping up in her heart. Essers' tears fell uncontrollably, but she couldn't give up, she told herself that she had to do her best to escape.

boom! ——

When the monster spewed black blood and rushed towards Esses, a gunshot echoed in the corridor.

Before she recovered, Esses was dragged out from under the chair and hugged tightly in her arms.She turned her head abruptly, and it turned out that the person who attacked her was Ma Duo, the warden. She had completely assimilated with the monster, with her bloody mouth open to her ears, and the appearance of being torn off with only half of her scalp left was very frightening.

With a kitchen knife in her hand, Frieda quickly jumped over the obstacle, and chopped off Maduo's head with a wave of her hand.

"The alarm is off!" Frieda stepped on Maduo's head hard, and the fragile skull deformed instantly.

Esther was panting, she turned her head to look at the person holding her, it was Ingrid, holding a gun in her hand, her eyes were fixed on Esther, those iron-gray eyes were full of moisture, As if enduring something painful, all the sorrow and fear were written on his face, and finally he lay on Esther's neck and cried bitterly.

"Come in first!" Vinoya pushed open the door of the captain's cabin, frowning and said coldly.

Shrugging her shoulders, Frieda passed Essus, smiled at her, and walked into the cabin by herself.

Ingrid hugged Esses horizontally while crying, her appearance was a bit nondescript, but she really didn't have the energy to struggle.

Before closing the door, Esses stared at Maduo with ferocious eyes until the heavy iron door was closed.
