Chapter · "Peach Dream."

In the gift shop, Su Mingan looked at the dazzling array of dolls on the shelves.

There was a lack of resources in the city, and Su Mingan couldn't find Barbie dolls. All he saw were bloated and coarse cloth dolls. Su Mingan tried her best to choose something cute, a pink bow, a milky white lace skirt, and small red round shoes.

At this time, the voices of a group of female students came from the door of the gift shop. One of them saw Su Ming'an choosing a doll at a glance: "Ah! Brother Wen Sheng is here!"

Su Mingan held the pink doll and turned around, meeting the eyes of dozens of female students.

They looked shocked. For a moment, both sides seemed to be stunned, and the air was a little stagnant.

Su Mingan lowered his head and glanced at the cute pink doll in his arms, and suddenly realized something.

"...Brother Wen Sheng actually has such a hobby." Jiang Xiaoshan was shocked.

"Did we accidentally bump into something?" Jiang Yunmeng whispered, holding someone else's hand: "Leave quickly..."

"Oh, I didn't expect that Brother Wen Sheng also has a cute side in his heart." Qiao Qiao covered her mouth.

Su Ming'an paid without changing his expression, came out with the doll in his arms, and faced the group of people at the door.

"What happened?" Su Mingan asked.

"Taomeng suddenly disappeared today. We are all looking for Taomeng." Although Jiang Yunmeng was explaining, his eyes were fixed on Su Mingan's doll. All the other female students also stared at the doll in Su Mingan's hand.

Su Mingan remembers Tao Meng, a little girl with a loud voice, who could be heard in the whole church when she spoke. If Tao Meng disappeared, it was probably the work of the alien species in the city.

He offered to look for it together. So he was assigned to a group with Jiang Xiaoshan, and the two of them searched nearby.

The afternoon sun was dazzling, and the sun stung a little on my body.

Su Mingan held the big pink baby and walked forward among the ruins on the ground.

People with sallow faces and thin muscles ate black bread. Many people were still kneeling on the ground, digging hard to remove the masonry from yesterday's air raid, and their ten fingernails began to break. People kept shouting the names of their loved ones.

"Mom, Mom - are you down there? Respond to me, please, please -!"

"Grandma, grandma!"

"Where are you!!"

Street advertisements aired the luxuries of the big city. In stark contrast to the corpses of people starving to death on the street, the smell of rotten corpses floated in the air, as if the city had died a long time ago.

Jiang Xiaoshan, who was wearing braids, walked in front and helped Su Mingan push aside the wooden blocks blocking the way.

"Taomeng is a very serious person." Jiang Xiaoshan said: "Every time I recite something, she recites it until the end. She also helps me with my dictation. I didn't take notes in many places, so I would look at her notes. Her notes are really interesting. It's good and comprehensive, just like a tutorial book. She works really hard and usually gets up at five o'clock in the morning to memorize."

"The college entrance examination will be tomorrow." Su Mingan said.

"Yes." Jiang Xiaoshan said: "Her relatives all died because of the lack of resources in the city. I can see that she hopes more than anyone else to take the college entrance examination. She doesn't want the tragedy of her relatives to happen again. The college entrance examination is tomorrow. I can't figure out why she disappeared suddenly."

A few words, but they outline the heavy grief of a young girl. All relatives died due to lack of resources. This is so hopeless and powerless.

Looking around this desolate and miserable city, Su Mingan watched everything.

What caused all this?

In a closed world, faith has become an element of formulation, leading to the emergence of the strange phenomenon of "culture determines biology." It seems incredible, but it is very reasonable. And in order to maintain this easily recognized class distinction, people work very hard.

This resulted in -

No matter how many words of advice you say, they are still not as good as a command from the gods.

No matter how many wars are started to resist, it is still not as good as a look from the gods.

"Where do you think Taomeng will go?" Su Mingan said.

"There were no traces of blood or struggle in her room. We guess she ran out quietly on her own." Jiang Xiaoshan said, "Did she go somewhere to endorse it? It would be great if that was the case."

How she hoped that Tao Meng just ran away to endorse, instead of something happening.

"Even if there is no blood in Taomeng's room, it is possible that the alien species in the city wiped her out. If the alien species kills, it may only need to attack the brain." Su Mingan said.

"No! It's definitely not the alien species in the city who did it!" Jiang Xiaoshan suddenly shouted.

"Huh?" Su Mingan didn't know why she was so excited suddenly.

"Yes, that must be the case. Tao Meng once told us that her death was due to starvation at the age of twenty-two. Before that, nothing would happen to her." Jiang Xiaoshan was startled for a moment, and then immediately adjusted her expression. , comforting himself in a low voice: "Although I don't know why she starved to death at the age of twenty-two, she is definitely fine now."

Su Mingan said: "If she can succeed in the college entrance examination and leave this city, it is unlikely that she will starve to death when she is twenty-two. Will there be a great famine in the future?"

"The death ending arranged by the gods...can we still disobey it? There may be a famine in the future." Jiang Xiaoshan smiled bitterly. But it can be seen that unlike other numb residents, there is fire in her eyes. It was anger against the gods.

Su Mingan thought about human beings' blind faith and clenched the doll tighter and tighter.

And at this moment——

"Hula--hula--"

He heard a gust of wind.

He was instantly alert, looked up towards the source of the sound, and suddenly saw——

A blooming blood flower.

The bright red blood flower bloomed in the center of his field of vision, and then quickly fell downwards - it was a body falling from the sky like a bird, and the white clothes on the body were like the wings of a white bird. Flying wildly in the wild winter wind.

Someone jumped off the building.

The moment he realized this, Su Mingan was too late to catch this person.

She hit the ground hard, and the huge impact made her bounce several times on the ground, crushing bright red liquid like a slime, and her limbs swayed like spinning windmills. Then her abdomen was pierced into a steel bar on the ground. The steel bar was pierced into her lower abdomen and pierced out from her back. The dark red color pointed directly into the sky, like a long red and black flag that had just been erected, and she was like a nailed to death. The insect on the wall struggled for a few seconds, trembled convulsively a few times, and became completely motionless.

Su Mingan stood there stunned, the deceased was very close to him.

A few drops of dark red blood were splashed on the back of his hand, and the blood slid down the back of his hand.

"Hey, hey...?" Jiang Xiaoshan got closer to the deceased. She turned her head blankly and looked at the body on the ground: "Did someone... jump off the building?"

Her face was confused, but it wasn't numbness, it was because she was too shocked to react. She had heard before that people would commit suicide by jumping off buildings, but she never expected to see it with her own eyes one day.

There were not many people on the street, and many people noticed that someone had jumped from the building, but their expressions were only shocked for a while at first, and soon returned to a pool of stagnant water.

The brick diggers continued to dig bricks, the people carrying things continued to take steps, and the people addicted to tobacco breathed in the intoxicating fragrance.

"Suicide is not allowed, and some people dare to resist the gods..." This is people's first thought. Instead of lamenting why she committed suicide.

Su Mingan did not recognize the girl who committed suicide. She fell headfirst, like an insect sealed in amber, impaled on the steel bar, her limbs hanging down unnaturally, and her black hair hanging on the Her facial features could not be seen clearly around the steel bars.

Why did this girl commit suicide? Whether she was failing in her studies, was out of anger, had family members died in the war, or was in despair about the future... No one cared. People rushed away from the place as if they had seen something smoky, as if her suicide would create a disgusting methane pit.

Jiang Xiaoshan took a few steps this way, as if she wanted to see the face of the deceased, but was knocked away by several heavily armed soldiers.

"Someone committed suicide again? Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" The soldiers pushed away Jiang Xiaoshan who was blocking the road, pulled the girl's body from the steel bar, and roughly packed the body in a cloth bag, treating it like a ball of pork instead of A dead person.

The soldiers were talking and laughing as they performed their actions. They often dispose of the bodies of such suicides, and their techniques are very skillful. They had even been telling funny jokes on purpose, and everyone was laughing so that the girl's mangled body could be ignored.

After all, negative emotions are not allowed. So I can only laugh as much as I can.

Amidst the laughter, there was only a pool of blood on the ground and a blood-red steel bar pointing straight into the sky.

When the soldiers roughly pulled out the body, Su Mingan finally saw the girl's face——

She has big eyes, a delicate appearance, and small freckles on her face, just like a very ordinary girl.

She is Tao Meng.
