sunset escape

They said they were looking for an address, but it was more like sightseeing.

The riverside is full of scenery, but there is no noise, everything is as quiet as a painting.

Xiang Jiayun was sitting in the back seat holding the transparent storage box, chatting with the little white mouse inside.Mainly he was talking, and the mice occasionally chimed in.

"If you bask in the sun too, will you run away too?" He was really curious about how destructive the little mouse could be after running away.

The mouse was scurrying about in the box, squeaking from time to time.

Xiang Jiayun nodded towards the box, "Oh, then please beg me, please beg me so you don't have to bask in the sun."

Teacher He, who was sitting in the front looking for clues on the roadside, couldn't hold back his breath, but resisted the urge to teach the students a lesson, and asked calmly: "How do you feel after being exposed to the sun this time? Compared with last time, how are you feeling?" Is it different?"

He froze for a moment, carefully recalled his feelings at that time, and after a while he was discouraged and said: "Forgot, I was not sober at the time, if you put two fingers in front of me, I guess I would have to answer three."

"...I shouldn't have asked you." He Chen hated iron, "You put the mouse in the sun and try?"

Xiang Jiayun hugged the storage box tightly, "What if I die?"

He Chen stopped the car slowly, turned around and looked at the box in his arms, "The time you were trapped in the parking lot, you left it on the top of the wall, it must have been exposed to the sun at that time. It's a pity that I At that time, I didn’t have time to take care of it, Liu Yao brought it back to the hostel, and forgot to observe the situation.”

He remembered this incident along the way, knocked on the lid of the box, and watched the little white mouse scurrying about, alive and kicking.

"Alive, not bad." He murmured unconsciously.

The back of the head was patted gently, "Is your request too low, Xiang Jiayun?"

He groaned, reached out and stroked the back of his head, smoothing his hair.Hiding the gloom in his eyes, he raised his head with a smile, "Okay, then I will try to live a long life."

Along the way, the worries in Xiang Jiayun's heart never disappeared.He's just really good at ignoring the pain and covering it up lightly.

Do you want to ask him if he feels uncomfortable when he has an attack?In fact, it was excruciatingly painful, ten or twenty times more painful than when he broke his leg.If it happened twice, his will might be broken too.

However, if someone really asks this question, he will only answer that he is not uncomfortable and feels nothing.

He Chen didn't refute him, and his expression didn't seem to believe that he was safe and sound, but fortunately he didn't reveal it, and only said: "We will find it."

The plan to persecute the mice was put on hold, and the two continued to drive around the area, turning left and turning right, and the driving route was all over the streets and alleys.The buildings that looked suspicious were recorded, and it was not convenient to move during the day, and they would go deep into these suspicious buildings at night to investigate.

With nothing to do all afternoon, Xiang Jiajun was so idle that he began to take a tour with a tourist's eye.

They left the downtown area and came to the edge of the city.The road surface gradually changes from level to gentle slope. Here is a small hill. There are mostly orchards and farmhouses beside the road. You can also see sporadic villa areas, and the building density is much sparser.

"I really want to go in and pick fruit to eat. I don't know if the watermelon is ripe." Xiang Jiayun ate packaged food for more than ten days, especially canned fruit, and his tongue missed the taste of fresh fruit.

He Chen calmly poured cold water on him, "Are you going to go in and play with the zombies in the field to unlock a new map?"

"...Forget it, if you die inside, you can only use it as fertilizer for melons and fruits."

Xiang Jiajun looked away reluctantly, and suddenly caught sight of a new place, and his tone became excited again: "That villa seems to be empty, and no one has lived in it yet. You said we will settle here and cultivate a piece of land to be self-sufficient. Sample?"

He Chen sighed inaudibly, "Have you forgotten where this is?"

He came to his senses in a flash, and lazily withdrew this whimsical idea.

"Chen Xuan's house used to occupy a hilltop, the location is remote, and there are living facilities. We'll go there after we get rid of the virus on your body." He Chen couldn't bear to see his lost look in the end, and reminded him.

Xiang Jiayun was originally on a whim, and blurted out whatever he thought of. After hearing this, he immediately smiled, and said in a sticky tone: "Wow, what a thick thigh, I have to hug you together."

Teacher He ignored him, but Xiang Jiajun clearly caught a glimpse of the smile in the other's eyes from the rearview mirror.

There was silence between them for a while, until he drove deeper and deeper along a small road, he said again: "It's so remote, the houses on both sides are dilapidated... Wait, what's there?"

The narrow road is lined with weather-beaten single-family old houses, but Xiang Jiayun seems to have glimpsed an unusual house.The surrounding walls are long, presumably the area inside is not small.And there was a sign hanging beside the iron gate, and the words on it flashed past before he had time to read it clearly.

It can't be a house for living, right? Which family will hang a sign at the door?

He Chen stopped the car after hearing his voice, and even backed up a bit.Xiang Jiayun leaned over to the window and looked out through the glass.

The iron door in the shape of a railing was already covered in red rust, and so was the lock hanging on it, as if it would break if you broke it.The sign on the side wall was also covered with signs of time, and some of the handwriting on it had peeled off, and he struggled to read it word by word.

"What...insect... museum."

The first two characters are completely unrecognizable, but it is probably a name.

"Insect Museum?" Xiang Jiajun asked strangely, "It's built in such a remote place, and it seems to be deserted. It should be a small private collection room, right?"

"It should be, you want to go in and play again?" He Chen's tone was not surprising, thinking that he was curious again and wanted to go in and see.Generally speaking, this guy has no resistance to mysterious or weird things, and always wants to find out.

Xiang Jiayun hummed suspiciously, and backed away from the glass, "No, it's probably empty after being idle for so long, and it must be very dirty. What are you going in for, take a dust bath?"

He imitated Teacher He's tone, and sure enough, he choked the other party so that he couldn't find the words to fight back for a while.

"Let's go, continue to look at other places." Xiang Jiayun patted He Chen's shoulder from behind, trying to challenge the other's endurance.

But He Chen's temper seemed to be much better than before, he didn't fight back, he didn't argue with him anymore, and silently started the car again.

They continued up the path, only to discover a strange phenomenon after bypassing the curving wall of the museum.

There are dense trees on the side of the road, but behind a thick tree trunk, there is a hole the size of a bowl in a hidden corner.It doesn't look like it was man-made, it's more like the wall is in disrepair.

At this time, the entrance of the cave was bustling, and fat mice one after another crowded there, scrambling to get out of the wall, and then scattered and fled along the wall.

Xiang Jiayun counted the mice that ran out, and when he counted to ten, the hole was still densely packed, which made his skin crawl.

too disgusting.

He Chen also noticed this scene, instead of leaving in a hurry, he stopped the car and turned off the engine.

He was about to ask Mr. He what he wanted to do, when he found that there seemed to be fewer mice trying to get out of the hole, and after waiting for a few minutes, there were no mice there.

"Is it the sound of the car that disturbed them?" Xiang Jiayun subconsciously lowered his voice and asked.

Teacher He stared at the place solemnly, nodded, and then lowered the window a little.

A stench wafted in instantly.

Xiang Jiayun's heart skipped a beat. This smell seemed familiar, but it was more intense and suffocating than in his vague memory. What kind of smell is it...

He pondered for a while, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration.He had smelled it on the basement floor of the research institute in City B!It's the smell of rotting corpses!
