Doomsday Wonderland

...How did it evolve to this point?

Lin Sanjiu sat squeezing her body in a large iron trash can, surrounded by plastic garbage bags full of plastic garbage bags at her feet; the strong stench made her thinking a bit blurry.

The walls of the iron trash can were covered with wet and sticky stains, and occasionally she could feel that she was not the only guest—from time to time something would scuttle out of the depths of the trash can, maybe it was a rat.

Lin Sanjiu, who didn't even care about fallen species, felt his scalp tightening at the thought of being in a box with rats.

But no matter how uncomfortable she felt, she couldn't leave the trash can; simply because the dragging footsteps outside still slowly echoed in the alley.

The origin of the matter was that a few days ago, Lin Sanjiu looked at the calendar and said a few words, telling Bohemia about the custom of celebrating Halloween in some human societies before the end of the world.

It only lasted a few sentences, and she didn't expect that the door to the room would be pushed open just halfway through her speech.

"Is it true?" Kurosawa Masaru appeared out of nowhere with a radiant face: "If I ring the doorbell, will they give me candy?"

Does this guy have an antenna on his head?

"But, but, those are all prepared for children..."

"What's the point?" Bohemia slapped the table, her eyes so bright that she seemed to have stolen electricity: "You can also wear various costumes. Just let him dress up as a child!"

...That kind of behavior is too perverted.

"That's a good idea." Kurosawa Ji obviously had no self-awareness at all. After thinking about it, he added to himself, "I don't want candy, I mainly want to experience it... I want candy."

Isn’t the point still about sugar?

While Lin Sanjiu was still thinking about how to turn this topic away, the suggestion of "Would you like to find a place to spend Halloween?" had already circled around Exodus several times like a wild horse, and like a magnet, the suggestion People from all walks of life were firmly attracted.

"Isn't Halloween a holiday to celebrate me?" Yuan Xiangxi was very touched. "How can I be embarrassed if I don't go?"

Sibaan thoughtfully made an intercom call to the puppeteer. "You don't even need to change your clothes," he said, "your usual costume is enough for Halloween."

At that time, the puppet master didn't realize that he should be angry at this sentence.

The great witch was very happy. "I have some clothes," she said, "that are too gorgeous to wear normally, and they will come in handy this time."

"Let me think about which character I want to dress up as..." This is not the first time Yu Yuan has celebrated Halloween, and he has naturally become a knowledge center where people seek advice and advice: "Yes, before the end of the world, humans will dress up as their favorite characters. I didn’t have much creativity at that time, so I dressed up as Superman—Superman is a comic book character who comes from...forget it, even if I tell you, you don’t know.”

Since everyone is so excited, let’s go and have some fun. Although Lin Sanjiu really couldn't figure out why this group of evolved people who had experienced hundreds of battles and had seen all kinds of scenes would want to dress up in a mess and go to a block where there were fake spiders hanging, fake ghosts standing, and real pumpkins. I went shopping and asked for candy. What fun can there be?

On the contrary, Gift Bao looked the calmest, the most mature, and the least tempted by this kind of children's holiday - even though all kinds of Halloween costumes were flowing out from his room.

After everyone found their destination, the Mother Queen led the way, and after passing through layers of onion-skin-like universe, they landed on a dark mountain top on the night of October 31, local time: this small mountain At your feet, there is a straight road with street lights on. In a grid composed of household lights, large fake spider webs hang under the eaves of the house, a clown dummy with a bright red smile stands in front of the pine tree, and half of his face is hidden in the bushes... Small groups of children are laughing and screaming. He shouted, and rang the doorbell of each house under the guidance of his parents.

Lin Sanjiu was the first to get off the spaceship.

She stood at the door and said hello, and all kinds of strange stuff came out of it. Most people were not familiar with pre-apocalyptic comics, movies, and TV shows, so they dressed up as they pleased: Bohemian in a downcast suit. The raccoon suit felt like a doll costume used in a second-rate amusement park to attract customers, but she herself felt that she was extremely cute; Yuan Xiangxi wrapped herself in a white sheet and turned into a mummy. But you must show your face, he said, "otherwise, wouldn't it be a waste if I look so good?"

Sibaan was not afraid of waste, so he dressed up as the Queen Mother. It was only after he told people that they knew it was the Queen Mother; if he hadn't said anything, it would have looked like a large round stone made of foam plastic, with hands and feet protruding from the stone. Unless there is a mother stone in the world, no one will be affected by his appearance.

When the great witch slowly walked out, Lin Sanjiu felt that she should roll out a red carpet for her. The long gauze shawl spread out behind her like a peacock's tail screen, and even in the night it still shimmered with light gold and stars; tangled and twisted thin golden snakes climbed on her neck and shoulders, The long tassels hanging from the head and tail were like waterfalls. When asked if she was dressed as the Queen of Egypt, the great witch raised her chin slightly and replied: "No, it's me."

The figure following the great witch gave Lin Sanjiu a serious fright, and he almost lost his consciousness. It wasn't until the other person called out "It's me" in a low and vague voice from her throat that she quickly stopped her hand.

"It looks so similar," she wanted to reach out and touch it, but she pulled back before she could touch it. "Wait a minute, you're not really infected with the zombie virus, are you? Where's your chin?"

Yu Yuan lost half of his chin, revealing his blood-red gums. His gray and white skin was tightened into lines, all his tattoos were gone, and one of his eyeballs was rolled into his head; he was limping on his feet, his body was dry and cracked, and he said in a voice with blood in his throat: "Ji Shanqing's special When... put on it, he becomes completely... a zombie..."

"I got it," Lin Sanjiu quickly waved her hand, "You should leave quickly, I feel a little sick after looking at it for too long."

"You should see...see...Kurosawa Ji..."

He even talks like a zombie.

Lin Sanjiu turned around and saw a blur in front of her eyes - a little boy with messy black hair, no more than ten years old, wearing a sailor uniform, holding a thick stack of at least a dozen large snakeskin bags in his arms, and a pair of Running out of Exodus with short legs.

Who the hell is that?

Lin Sanjiu never expected that the biggest comfort tonight would come from the puppet master. He still looked the same as before. As expected, he came out without even changing his clothes. Walking among a group of monsters and monsters, he looked very harmonious. Both he and the great witch seemed unwilling to stand together with other people, especially Bohemia. Whenever she stood next to someone, she looked cheap; soon, he and the great witch were together again. The son has gone.

"Gift bag!"

After everyone else got off the boat one after another, Lin Sanjiu called out to the door, "It's just you. Come out quickly. Who are you dressed up as?"

A head poked out from behind the corner of the corridor, seeming a little embarrassed.

Lin Sanjiu didn't know why, but he felt familiar - not because he was a gift bag, but because... it was because...

She gradually opened her eyes.

"Um, UU Reading www.uukaｎshu.net" Ji Shanqing tried his best to maintain a serious face. Even under the cover of the complicated black patterns, a faint pink could be seen on his cheeks. "Didn't Yu Yuan say that you can dress up as your favorite character..."

He adjusted the bandage around his neck, and he didn't know what kind of self-justification he had in his mind. When he spoke again, he felt more confident: "Sister is also a person! I specially drew the pattern according to the Wusu poison information... Does it look like you did when you were in your home world?"

As he spoke, he stretched out a hand as if it were a matter of course. Lin Sanjiu couldn't help it, and while laughing, she also stretched out a U-shaped plastic hand - even though she felt that she was mature and prudent, in fact, she was not sober as everyone else was drunk, she was still dressed as a Lego The square man was a special product made from a gift bag - he couldn't hold it, so she "crossed" the gift bag's hand.

After all the demons and ghosts in Wu Yang Yang left, Exodus also returned to silence and fell into darkness again.

I don't know how much time passed, but when no one heard him, Shales suddenly said softly, "Huh?"

"Is this... a world before the end of the world?"
