kill dawn

"Cough cough cough-"

The dust was flying, and a hand stretched out from the pile of broken rubble.

The bricks were pushed away with a loud "crash".Jiang Bieqiu struggled to get out of it, and rolled onto the flat ground before he could shake off the dust all over his body.

There was no pain in his body, he lay on his back, ignoring his own injury, endured the pain, turned over and knelt up and shouted: "Fang Jue..."

He remembered very clearly that the moment he fell, it was Fang Jue who hugged him, using his body as a pad to resist the impact of the fall.

Besides, Fang Jue was still injured from the explosion.

With the smell of blood in his mouth, Jiang Bieqiu didn't have the strength to stand up, so he used all four limbs to dig up the ruins on the ground.

"Fang Jue...Fang Jue..."

Still no response.

In the darkness, except for the infiltrating wind, only Jiang Bieqiu's hoarse shouts remained.

In desperation, Jiang Bieqiu forgot the existence of the spiritual connection, relying only on the direction of the fall in his memory, he tirelessly turned over every piece of brick and stone.

His vision was very dark, and he couldn't see anything clearly. After opening a piece of covered ruins, he could only use his hands to explore.Repeat it several times, and the fingers are cut, pierced, scratched by all kinds of things.

Jiang Bieqiu seemed to automatically block the pain, every inch of touch was trying to find Fang Jue.

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, he groped for a hand in the darkness.

The joints are distinct, slender but not weak, it is Fang Jue's hand!

I found you, Jiang Bieqiu said silently in his heart.

The line of sight is not clear, how to rescue has become a problem.After feeling Fang Jue's presence, Jiang Bieqiu instantly calmed down from the chaotic state just now.

The sentry has a keen sense of the outside world, but Fang Jue has not responded for a long time, and it is very likely that he has fallen into a deep coma.Jiang Bieqiu raised his head and looked up, and saw that the places where the faint light fell were very scattered, sprinkled on the ruins - at such a height, if you fall from such a height, you only need to adjust your posture, and you can protect your vitals.

He believes that even if Fang Jue uses himself as a meat pad, he is capable of protecting himself.

He was buried in the rubble, most likely asphyxiated, something holding him down.

Time was running out, Jiang Bieqiu dragged his injured leg and started looking for their backpacks.

There is a light in the backpack, he needs to find something that is pressing Fang Jue, and then get it out of the way.

Fortunately, even though it fell to the ground, the backpack was still there. When it fell, Fang Jue grabbed it in his arms and brought it in.

Jiang Bieqiu quickly found it not far from Fang Jue, holding a lamp inside.

The light poured out, and the moment he saw Fang Jue, Jiang Bieqiu almost lost his breath.

Fang Jue was not pressed by something, but half of his body was stuck between two huge stones.The shirt on the upper body was badly torn, and there were scratches on the exposed skin.

The most serious injury was on the right abdomen. The wound was not big, but it was bleeding all the time.

Jiang Bieqiu bit the light tube with his mouth, pressed down the two bricks that blocked Fang Jue with both hands, and at the same time let his center of gravity sink.

He didn't say a word, and his hand was very steady. After finding the right point of force, he exerted force——

With a "click", the stone moved only slightly, and Fang Jue also fell forward uncontrollably due to the force.

Jiang Bieqiu raised his eyes and finally saw Fang Jue's face clearly through the light.

With his eyes closed and his breath barely audible, Fang felt as fragile as a piece of glass in this dead wasteland.

Jiang Bieqiu had never seen Fang Jue like this.

In my impression, he has always been reliable and powerful. Whether he is facing a mutated pollutant or Zhang Yuting with a tough attitude, he can handle it with ease.

Fang Jue, who was so fragile and even on the verge of death, gave Jiang Bieqiu the illusion that the world was upside down and time and space were disordered.

But that feeling was only for a moment, Jiang Bieqiu's brows sank, and a faint hostility appeared in his eyes.

Immediately after—

He gritted his teeth and squatted halfway, putting all the strength of his body on his arms!

There was only a bang, and the stone finally moved more dramatically.

As soon as the strength was loosened, Fang Jue, who was stuck in the middle, unconsciously fell forward.

Jiang Bieqiu hurried forward to catch him.

Looking closely, I found that Fang Jue's lips were so white that they were almost transparent.Jiang Bieqiu raised his hand to press the side of his neck, trying to check his pulse, but found that his fingers could hardly feel the beating trace.

A great panic spread in Jiang Bieqiu's heart.

He didn't know that his hands were shaking so badly, and he didn't realize that he was choked by the panic. He was like a drowning person, with one foot in the world and the other foot had almost entered hell with Fang Jue.

how come?

How could it hurt so badly? !

Jiang Bieqiu leaned over Fang Jue's chest, and under that physical body, his steadily beating heart was gradually losing momentum, heading towards a stop and never returning.

Fang Jue...

Jiang Bieqiu was stunned, and at the same time, a tear fell on Fang Jue's face.

This tear, like a bell ringing in Jiang Bieqiu's ear, shook his mind with a "buzz".

He quickly grabbed the strap of the backpack, poured out all the contents, found a tube of first aid medicine, and stuck it straight into Fang Jue's neck.

Then, he pressed Fang Jue's chest with both hands, and sat up for CPR.

One click, one click, one click.

There was liquid dripping down Jiang Bieqiu's chin, I don't know if it was sweat or tears.

Press a few times, blow into your mouth, turn around and go back to continue pressing.

At this time, time solidified into pieces of water mirrors, floating around the two of them, imprisoning them here.And Jiang Bieqiu's numb and repetitive movements became the only sound of knocking on the water mirror, breaking through the cage of time.

In a daze, Jiang Bieqiu seemed to hear the sound of breaking.

It's like melting ice, breaking through a water mirror, and breaking like the death sickle.

Then, a clear heartbeat broke into Jiang Bieqiu's ears.

Slow but firm.

Fang Jue doesn't like to dream.

The quality of his sleep is not bad, before the headache started, he never thought that he would have insomnia one day.

So he knew he was in a dream now.

This is a piece of water without waves, and he thought he was standing on a huge mirror in a trance.There is no one around, not only no one, but nothing but the sky and the earth.

Fang Jue saw a scarlet color floating around him—he recognized it as entropy.

Entropy is lifeless, just a force in nothingness.

Like some sort of Great Old One.

In the history of mankind, there have been such legendary records-the universe is vast and infinite, and many powerful and ancient life forms exist in every corner of it.

Most of them are composed of unknown substances far beyond the earth, so their structure is not affected by the laws of physics.They are gods, things that human civilization will never touch.

Books record them as: Old Ones.

Why did he suddenly think of this?Fang Jue was a little puzzled.

"Because entropy controls the future of mankind, you want to eliminate entropy. However, if you want to kill a life, you need to understand this life." A voice replied.

"Who?" Fang Jue suddenly turned around.The voice came from behind, but when he faced the voice, there was nothing there.

"I am..." The voice paused, as if thinking about how to translate his name in human language, "You call that thing entropy?"

The sound was invisible, but Fang Jue knew it was referring to the scarlet.

Before Fang Jue could speak, he said, "In this case, you can call me Anti-Entropy."

"Entropy is a physical definition of your world, that is, all things are constantly going to destruction. This description is indeed very suitable for it."

Fang Jue looked coldly at the void: "What exactly do you want to do?"

"It's not what we want to do, but you." The voice said, "I didn't exist originally, but your birth allowed me to talk to you. It was you who gave birth to me."

"I know this is difficult to understand... Well, let me give you an example. You humans... are you called humans?"

Although this voice imitated the ups and downs of emotions, it sounded extremely false. This feeling of coexistence of absurdity and reality made Fang Jue frown.

The voice continued: "You humans have gone through great wars, and your lives withered, so someone unconsciously awakened entropy, which gave birth to superhumans. You can understand it as a force without position..."

"Are you too?" Fang Jue asked.

"I am." The voice said, "That guy and I are deadly enemies."

"So you can kill it?"

"You can put it this way... Moreover, you can talk to me because you have the idea of ​​​​wanting to eliminate entropy, but the premise of the dialogue is that there is no entropy in your body."

"Only I can talk to you?"

"Yes. You are the only anti-entropic human being."

Entropy equals destruction, anti-entropy... equals the hope of rebirth in the ruins.

Fang Jue suddenly remembered that when he had a headache, the voice that appeared in his head seemed to be this self-proclaimed "anti-entropy".

He was silent for a while, and quickly accepted the setting: "Is it true that as long as anti-entropy humans continue to be born in the human base, human civilization can continue to move forward?"

"You are very smart."

"How to do it?"

"I don't know." The voice said, "I was born because of you, you should ask yourself the answer."

ask yourself?

Fang Jue didn't know either.

His understanding is that there are many mysterious forces in the universe.One of them is called entropy, and the other is called anti-entropy. They are opposites.Entropy was accidentally awakened, and after a hundred years of changes, it was derived into what it is now.

When entropy continues to decrease and anti-entropy humans increase, entropy is no longer a thing that makes people change their faces.

The problem is, he is the only anti-entropy human born under the force of nature.

How can more anti-entropy humans appear?Like entropy, let him materialize and appear in the human base, will it affect ordinary human beings?

At this time, Fang Jue thought of another question.

"Why can I talk to you now?" Fang Jue asked, "Since you are a kind of power, you can't be awakened at will, right?"

"You are indeed amazing." The tone of the voice did not change at all when he said exclamation words, "Yes, I have been asleep all this time."

"—The reason why you can talk to me now is because you are dying."

You are dying.

Soon, there are no more anti-entropy humans in the human base. This civilization, which has been struggling to be active in a corner of the universe for hundreds of millions of years, will eventually come to a ruined end.

The twilight tinder, before lighting the torch, was free.

The sound hovered, causing ripples on the calm water.It watched Fang Jue's figure change from dark to light, and finally became transparent.

At the moment when it was about to dissipate, it suddenly let out a "huh".

The figure that was about to scatter with the wind suddenly changed its shape at a certain point, recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Fang Jue thought he was dreaming, and at the edge of the dream, a choked voice called him.

So, he thought it was time to wake up.

because someone is waiting for him
