The Death Knell

"The Dark Tower" is a work written by the famous writer Stephen King over 30 years. Although he claimed to be inspired by Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings" to write this full-length novel, the two are actually quite different.

"The Lord of the Rings" is a magical epic. It has a very simple magical background and no particularly complicated story. Everyone can understand and yearn for that fantasy land.

The "Dark Tower" is more complicated, even harder to understand, at least in the era when it was published.

Around 1950, a quantum physicist first proposed the concept of a parallel universe. At that time, he cited an example of a fox eating grapes, and they talked about the follow-up caused by the two possibilities of “eat” and “not eaten”. difference.

In the beginning, this was only a discussion in the scientific community. At that time, ordinary citizens did not care about these things, and there was no convenient way of learning like the Internet. For a long time to come, it was just a scientific hypothesis. Talking about high-end talents in small circles.

By 1961, the concept of parallel world appeared in the 123 issue of "The Flash V1", which described the meeting of Earth 1 Barry and Earth 2 Flash Jie, and thus led to the setting of the DC parallel universe.

It can be said that the Flash is the pioneer of the comics industry. In any sense, he is the pioneer of the road.

Since then, the concept of parallel universes has been followed by comics into many families and has gradually become fashionable. At that time, American teenagers who had never seen the Flash or didn’t know about the parallel universe would have no face to see when they went to school. people.

But it is limited to young people only.

Then in 1982, Stephen King introduced the concept of parallel worlds into his long story and wrote the first part of the "Dark Tower" series, building a multiverse, truly making it a household concept, and making it a household name. Adults and elderly people have accepted this concept.

Because in 1980, when Stephen was 32 years old, he was worth hundreds of millions of dollars by writing. What was the concept of hundreds of millions of dollars in that era? Anyone who understands, understands, billionaires are absolute superstars in a capitalist society.

In short, "Dark Tower" exploded at the time, and even created a stalk that everyone is still playing today.

A reader was so excited that he couldn't sleep at night after watching "The Dark Tower", so he wrote to Stephen stating that he had cancer and was about to die soon. I hope the author can tell him about the next development of the plot, or else just Do not look down.

This is also a pioneer, creating a new genre of urging, self-cursing.

It is said that Jin replied, saying: "I am a horror. The biggest compliment to me is that readers are scared to death when they look at me."

All in all, the multiple worlds constructed by the "Dark Tower" series, you can think of it as a horror film universe. There are a lot of thoughts on'karma' and'life and death', and the pioneering invention of'being hit by the subway' Through the setting.

Su Ming knows that the environment here is like this, so if the town is eaten up by zombies or massacred by people, it's not surprising at all. You can definitely see even more curious scenes when you enter the house.

"Huh."

Strangling reminds those lurking things that are approaching from underground, they are probably good at tunnel warfare, and they are digging very fast.

"Huh, the quantity seems to be quite large, but I don't know the quality."

The death knell changed the corner of the cigarette in his mouth, squinted his eyes and opened the hammers of the double guns.

A few seconds later, mud suddenly rose up from the calm streets. Dense pits appeared in the field of view. Many green-skinned monsters rushed out from the ground, and they were holding various broken colds in their hands. weapon.

These green-skinned monsters wear human clothes, male and female, but their bodies are covered with pustules and malignant sores, and yellow-green liquid sways in these bulb-like pustules as they move.

Su Ming immediately fired, and the two guns hit the monster's eyes accurately, just like a gunfighting technique. The powerful computing power made these monsters seem to catch the bullets with their faces.

The revolver is easy to use, it will never get stuck, just take the empty bullet and then take a new one from your pocket, and let the strangulation help reload the empty gun.

"It turns out to be a super mutant, interesting." While beating the monster happily, Su Ming also laughed and chattered with strangulation: "Originally a human, but later suffered excessive radiation and turned into a humanoid monster with green skin abscess. This The setting was similar in the later "Wasteland" and "Radiation"."

Not so super green-skinned monsters, or a group of lunatics affected by radiation, not particularly strong, but they all look very tyrannical.

They eat almost anything they can see in this wasteland, including human beings, but at the same time, they also imitate human beings to live by relying on the broken memories of being human.

These deformed freaks will wear human clothes, use human farming tools, and even repair houses and some vehicles.

This is why this town looks like a human being, because this is a trap, where super mutants use the town to attract people who want to stay or eat here.

"Hey." Strangling said that they are very weak, not challenging at all, it is almost the same as hitting wild ducks.

Although the axe thrown by the super mutant holding an axe can penetrate tens of centimeters into the wood, it is undoubtedly too weak compared to those enemies that have been strangled.

"Normal, super mutants are miscellaneous soldiers in this kind of world. The single world we live in is set to be a western world that has experienced nuclear war, closer to the technological side. The most dangerous creatures here are actually humans. There are always more people killed by the same kind than monsters."

Su Ming played a few rounds with double revolvers and felt a little slow, so when he saw that no one was paying attention, he took out a ten-tube revolver from his pocket and twisted it like it was spraying water on the street. The waist shook a few times from side to side.

The flesh and blood flew across, and it was quiet, only the sound of the electric motor of the cannon idling. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

The strangled bean sprouts nodded, leaned forward to get a taste, and then Crescent's eyes narrowed:

"Pooh!"

It vomited, and the corners of its mouth bent down, revealing a Batman-like expression. Obviously the brains of these monsters are not tasty.

Of course they are not tasty. They have almost no intelligence, and their brains have to degenerate into a packet of radiant green water. Whether there is memory or not is another matter. Even if they do, they are probably similar to earthworms.

"Are there any survivors in the town?" Su Ming put away the cannon and looked around on the street. After finding the sign of the tavern, he walked towards it.

"Huh."

The strangulation said that it was true. Although I don't know why, there is still a living person in this town. In the well, although breathing is very weak, he is still alive. Judging from his body temperature, he should be a human.

Originally, the death knell, which was just trying to make up for the knife, stopped, and he walked towards the wellhead: "Human? Then a'gunman' like me should save people."
