Doomsday city

Esther fell asleep peacefully, without any disturbance from dreams, as if she had fallen into the deepest darkness and closed herself off.

When she opened her eyes again, there was no pain, the world became quiet, and she slowly thought about everything that had happened—from the moment she came out to the present, any memories that impressed her deeply.

However, only pain and sorrow are left in the memory, and only ugly memories are left to support her until now.

The thing that scares her the most is that her mother locked her in the small attic again, and said through the door in a low voice, as if to curse——

"Go back to hell, you disgusting demon!"

"Esther?" Doreen's weak voice came from the side.

Esther opened her eyes sharply.

"Thank God! You finally woke up, oh, you slept for two days, did you feel uncomfortable?" Doreen's tone was very soft, which was different from the hysterical girl in Esther's impression, "Well, Doctor York said You better eat this when you wake up," she picked up the boiled water and capsules on the table and handed them to her with a smile, "Vitamins, you haven't eaten in the past few days, Doctor York said it will make you feel better."

Doctor York...

Esther took the vitamin and glanced at Doreen. The young girl was wearing a woolen vest and a light blue shirt, her light brown eyes shone with water, and she was not inferior even if she was wearing bulky black-rimmed glasses. She exuded a gentle and elegant temperament, Unwittingly reminiscent of the 'normal' world, where it used to be bright and orderly.

Esther could not doubt that he swallowed the capsule along with the cold boiled water, and the tasteless pill fell into her stomach smoothly. She heard Doreen giggle, as if she saw something interesting.Esther held the glass tightly. She looked directly at Doreen's crooked eyes and wanted to say something, but her mouth seemed to be covered by invisible hands. A thought of 'don't ask' and 'don't look' quickly passed through her mind .

Doreen was still laughing, she stared at her with cold eyes by the window where the sun was pouring, and kept laughing crisply.

Esses tried to calm down. She pretended nothing happened and put the glass back on the bed, but when she moved, she felt a sharp pain in her abdomen. The sudden pain made her let go, and the glass fell to the ground in an instant. She breathed heavily to divert her attention , but the pain feels like a plant that can spread from the abdomen to the back, and then to the chest.

Doreen was still laughing, and she was laughing so pleasantly and without any malice.

"Ah..." Essers quickly covered her mouth. She opened the quilt and saw a knife stuck in her abdomen. Two-thirds of the knife was buried in her body. The bright red blood continued to spread, staining the pajamas and quilt The dazzling color, "...how come..." Thick blood mixed with saliva dripped from the corner of her mouth, and Esther wiped her chin in embarrassment, and when she looked up, she saw that Doreen was holding a knife and boiling water in her hand.

"Esther, Dr. York said to eat this when you wake up," Esther's miserable expression was reflected on the blade, "Vitamins, you will need them, they will help you get better as soon as possible, you have slept too much It's been a long time, Esses." The knife and boiling water were handed over to her, and Esses didn't even understand why she took them.

A sense of compulsion made her put the knife into her mouth and stabbed her mouth while she was conscious. The sharp knife cut her tongue and gums. She shed tears in pain, but her body continued to swallow the blade uncontrollably, unable to close Blood gushed out of her mouth, and the sharp feeling of piercing her throat made Essus want to scream. When she closed her severed mouth, she saw Doreen holding a knife and boiling water in her hand, and said to her, "Dr. York asked you to take the vitamins. Swallow it, it's good for you."

"──Ah!" Esther sat up abruptly, and when she opened her eyes, she found that she was completely on the bed.

There was no knife handle or spreading blood when the quilt was lifted, and fingers carefully stroked the throat and the corners of the mouth, except for the cold sweat all over the body, there was no other trauma.Esther looked around unsteadily, there was no Doreen or the damn vitamins, and the silver moonlight coming in through the window made her uneasy.

It was just a nightmare, she told herself.

After shivering for a few minutes, Essers decided to get out of bed and walk around and find someone to assure herself.

There was a rustling sound of slippers on the floor, and Esses held her breath unconsciously. This night was so quiet that even the sound of breathing was as clear as thunder. The strange space made her suspect that this was another deformed nightmare.The hand on the doorknob paused, and suddenly there was a muffled sound of metal piercing into the flesh, and Esses turned her head slightly.

"Go to hell! Go to hell! Go to hell!" Benny pulled out a knife and stabbed Esses's back continuously. His tender and distorted cheeks were stained with splashes of blood. Under the moonlight, his eyes shone coldly. Esther would shake a few times for a while, but she just stood there stupidly and let Benny keep 'killing' her.

Warm blood trickled down the skin, flowing on the ground like a small river.The door in front of her was opened, and there was another knife oncoming. Doreen held the handle of the knife with both hands and inserted the tip into her heart. Pulling out, stabbing in, pulling out, stabbing in, Esther was splashed with her own blood. The face, in astonishment, endured the attacks from the front and rear ends.

It's a dream, it's not real, it's a dream, it's not real...

"You deserve to die, Esther," Doreen said as she plunged the knife into her bloody chest, "we'd be happier without you, you're useless, you're a waste of resources, you're a sin to live , the world has become so ugly because of you!"

"So many people died, why are you alive?" Benny stabbed the knife into the back of her neck, and the sharp blade pierced her throat, "Esther, who has no contribution and is cowardly, die! The devil from hell, die !Take your gang back to hell! Give me back my friend and Anita! Give me back my father!"

"You monster! Monster! Monster!" screamed Doreen.

Esser's bloodshot eyes widened, a clear feeling of pain reached her soul, her broken body finally couldn't support it, her knees hit the ground weakly, her shoulders hung and her head was facing upwards, there was no ceiling above her head but it was pitch black The night sky like ink.

"...Wake up, Esther! Wake up!" In the distance, Benny's shouts gradually gathered, and a sound effect that seemed to move came to her. Esther finally opened her sour eyes, but Finding that the world has become extremely blurred, "God! You yelled so loudly just now! Are you okay? Esther, your forehead is so hot!"

Esther opened her mouth and let out a hoarse cry, and Benny poured a glass of water for her, and said anxiously, "I'll get you the antipyretics!" After speaking, he stuffed the water glass into Esther's weak hand, and quickly left the room.

Esther was not fully awake yet, and there was another strong collision sound outside the door. It sounded like someone had slammed heavily on the wall, followed by the shattering sound of objects being swept down.The weird situation made Essers panic. She wasn't sure if it was another dream, but both reality and dream were terrible.

"...Oh...Damn...Wait! Be careful!" Hasty footsteps and knocking sounds continued, and Esses frowned and fell off the bed, but her legs were weak and she could only walk on the wall. As she approached the door she was startled by a thud, something solid hitting the door, sounding like a 'person'.

"Don't go! Get something to tie her up! Quick!" The voice sounded like Charlotte, with footsteps all around.Esses took a half step back in doubt, when suddenly the door hit the whole wooden door and the whole wooden door came loose and smashed to the ground.

Now, she knows what happened.

"Run away!" The sound of an alarm sounded, and Esses ran back covered in cold sweat, but her sore muscles and weak body were out of coordination, and she fell into the closet within two steps. When she turned her head, the murderer was already in front of her. .

It was Ingrid Vonliet bleeding all over.

Or should I say - zombies.

"Shoot!" Charlotte screamed.

"Gah!──" Ingrid opened her mouth and bit Essers's shoulder. The pain of muscle tearing made her break down and cry. She once again experienced the feeling of being swallowed by zombies, and this time it was Ingrid Feng who devoured her List.When pain and fear intertwined, Esses helplessly pushed away Ingrid who was biting her shoulder, twisting and struggling like a drowning person.

"Wait!" Mabel stepped forward to stop Frieda when she lowered the safety of her pistol, "Quiet down, Ingrid Vonliet is quiet down! Doctor York!" She shouted back, and Vinoa came Quickly stepped forward to check, Frieda followed closely behind.

"Eli, are you still conscious? Eli?" Vinoa called a few times, and Esses, who was leaning against the closet, opened her eyes with difficulty, "Don't worry, it's okay, let go of your hands now, I need to help you and Feng Check it out." She pulled Esses away and grabbed Ingrid's arm.

The mutated Ingrid is not like the common rotten zombies. She is in good health, with black blood vessels faintly revealing under her pale skin, which are spread across all parts of her body like spider webs. When Vinoya opened her eyelids, one of them The pupil of the left eye turned blood red, "Damn...Charlotte...Charlotte!" Vinoya shouted anxiously, "She has recovered signs of life!"

"What..." Charlotte knelt forward excitedly, pressed two fingers on Ingrid's carotid artery and smiled happily after a few seconds, "Damn it! Ingrid is resurrected! My god...she is resurrected? What happened?" Thing... turned into a zombie and then turned back into a human? Oops, I'm so dizzy, I need to catch my breath..."

"So... there is no need to destroy her?" Frieda was undecided.

"You can tie her up with a rope," Vinoa distractedly inspected Esses's wound, "the bleeding has stopped, but the wound is deep. You are running a fever, Eli, don't worry about anything now, Feng Lie has resumed breathing Heartbeat, she will be fine, and so will you." With his palms caressing Esses's hot forehead, Vinoa hugged her horizontally.

Esther couldn't think, she curled up in Vinoa's arms in a daze, half-closed her eyes and watched Frieda and Mabel carry Ingrid to bed, Charlotte was holding the equipment to draw blood for testing, Benny was nervous standing by the door, and Doreen weeping in the corridor.

Esther didn't hear what Vinoya said clearly, but only knew that the humming sound from the deep sea reassured her.
