Chapter 002: Blood Rain, a Umbrella
Feng Ling deliberately raised the volume to ensure that Yun Tu, who had already turned to leave, could hear it. After venting her dissatisfaction, she pulled Qing Yi and turned to leave as well
Let me repay this kindness from before the apocalypse with an umbrella
In less than an hour, the vanguard of the three-day blood rain will suddenly descend, and the cloud map knows that this rain marks the boundary between the apocalypse and the era of peace
The causal reasons behind the arrival of this apocalyptic game have gradually unveiled their mysterious veil
Delivering an umbrella on such a sunny day, have you been dazed by that group of unruly people just now? Don't think that just because a beautiful woman shows you a bit of sympathy, she truly has an interest in you. You should take a moment to reflect on what you currently look like!
Why is he still here, not going to bandage his wound? Could it be that he is waiting for himself?
Why is your face covered in blood
As time goes by, more and more people gather in the alley; some open Weibo, while others open WeChat
What is about to unfold is not a tragic love story, but a bloody storm that will change the world
Upon hearing the words of the wind chime, Qingyi quickened his pace. As he passed through the tunnel, Qingyi saw Yuntu again, still sitting in the same spot. The guitar with the broken string had been repaired, yet Yuntu did not open his mouth to sing; he simply played a piece of music quietly.
There was no one else around, and today he did not open his mouth to sing. She felt too shy to approach him, forcibly suppressing her inner questions, and walked past like a passerby who pretended not to see.
Qingyi does not know the name of this piece, but can discern that its style is somewhat similar to another original single by Yuntu, both carrying a subtle sense of melancholy, and it should also be his original work
... ...
Even if he were to be reborn, the arrival of the apocalypse would not be hindered in the slightest, and he could not even be certain that he could live longer than in his previous life. In the apocalypse, everything is based on strength, and luck is equally important.
A man returning from the street wiped the rainwater off his face with his hand, held it up to his nose to smell, and then expressed his surprise once again
Seeing Qingyi pretending not to notice him, Yuntu took the initiative to stand up, stepped forward, took her hand, and forcefully stuffed a large red umbrella into her hand
... ...
Why did the clear sky suddenly rain blood? Countless astronomers and meteorologists in previous lives exhausted their brain cells but ultimately failed to reach a conclusion. It was not until many years after the end of the world that the strong from the human base led a team to break through the Black River Valley, a stronghold guarded by a great demon general, and discovered a finger bone from the upper realm that was a thousand feet long.
The Curse of the Demon, Three Days of Rain
This time, the usually slow-moving Qingyi was a step ahead and quickly picked up the note, swiftly stuffing it into her small handbag
I no longer admire him; I just do not wish to see him in such a disheveled state as he is with the books... Qingyi wiped away her tears and then lowered her head to eat the noodles
I apologize! You never mentioned to me before that he is your senior. I will no longer refer to him as a beggar! However, to be fair, given his current state and the blemish he has left with the police, no matter how well he sings, the path of a singer is already closed off to him. If you see him again, you can clarify his identity and give him a reminder; that would truly be helping him!
... ...
I guessed correctly, didn't I? That toad really has its sights set on you!" Feng Ling said with a laugh as she reached out to snatch it.
A limp can still be salvaged, but a broken mind cannot be saved. You have seen his true nature, haven't you? It is indeed a case of taking an inch and wanting a mile
At the Mengziyuan Rice Noodle Shop, after Qingyi finished recounting the past events of the Cloud Map, Fengling casually handed a tissue to the tearful Qingyi, somewhat apologetically, and offered her a suggestion
With a resolute heart, Yuntu stood up, not even bothering to pick up the coins scattered on the ground, and quickly limped away from the tunnel
Ah! You too!
Although the wound on his forehead is no longer bleeding, it has not been bandaged. The area around the wound has been cleaned very well, allowing a direct view of the torn flesh.
Psychological effect, you are overly sad, let's hurry and go, Sister Liu hasn't eaten yet, the packed rice noodles have already cooled down
After finishing her meal at the Mengzi Yuan Noodle shop, she looked up at the sky above. The sky appeared to be devoid of clouds, yet it was a strange dark red, completely different from when she had just come out of the hospital
Although Qingyi thought this way, she knew that the possibility was actually quite slim, because Yuntu had never recognized her as his junior. Even when she had fallen to the streets to sing for a living, he never asked for alms, and even in the past, every time she gave him a twenty yuan tip, she had never heard him say a single word of thanks.
The several men who had originally rushed out into the rain have now returned, continuously complaining that there are no buildings within a hundred meters nearby to take shelter from the rain. With such heavy rain, charging out forcefully would drench a person to the bone in just one minute
... ...
If they had not been stopped by the umbrella sent by Yun Tu for just a brief minute, at this moment, the two of them would have just walked out of the tunnel and been drenched by this inexplicable blood rain.
The rain came suddenly and fiercely, just like a one-hundred-meter-long tunnel. The two individuals had set out before the weather was still fine, but by the time they reached the other end of the tunnel, the rain had become overwhelming.
Coming back to reality from a long memory, Yun Tu glanced again at the guitar strapped to his back. He quickly loosened a tuning peg; the broken string was near the lower fixed end. He pulled some of the excess length of the string from the tuning peg, secured it again, and recalibrated the pitch. The guitar was repaired.
Qingyi and Fengling exchanged a smile, opening the umbrella. Although this rain, tinged with a hint of blood, was somewhat peculiar, they could not remain cooped up in this tunnel, leaving their colleague Liu Jie to go hungry.
Yuntu picked up the umbrella that had fallen to the ground due to the wind chimes and placed it back in Qingyi's hands. He paid no attention to the fiery Wind Chime beside him, knowing that she was merely concerned for her friend, and thus he was not angry with her at all. After saying what he needed to say, Yuntu opened another umbrella that was set aside and walked towards the other end of the alley without looking back
What a strange weather, this rain has come too quickly!
Although they had an umbrella in hand, the rain was quite heavy and somewhat strange, so Qingyi and Fengling did not immediately leave the tunnel
She glanced up at the sky above and felt that something was amiss with the wind chimes, but she was not the type to be melancholic about the changing seasons, so she paid it no mind
Yuntu's sudden action left Qingyi at a loss for how to respond. Seeing all of this, Fengling, who had a fiery personality, quickly stepped forward and knocked the umbrella out of Qingyi's hand, bluntly scolding Yuntu.
Standing at the entrance of the tunnel, the once fierce and aggressive wind chime was stunned, its mouth wide open and unable to close again
Soon, the response they received made it clear that the red rain was not limited to their area; it seemed to be occurring throughout the entire city.
Seeing the situation before them and hearing the discussions around, Qingyi and Fengling were both astonished: "mhetushucomcom This rain came so suddenly, no one was prepared for it. How did Yuntu know in advance?"
Does it really take this long to make rice noodles? I'm so hungry! After waiting for more than ten minutes, just as the rain had just eased a little, Sister Liu's call came in.
"Fengling, the color of the sky is quite strange; have you ever seen such a dark red sky before?"
This umbrella is a gift for you, take care
It is really raining!
How can this rain be red? No, wait, why does this rainwater have a kind of bloody smell!
... ...
The rain outside is getting heavier, and the light in the tunnel is somewhat comforting. Although it is clearly daytime in the outside world, it has become incredibly gloomy due to this strange blood rain, as if night has arrived prematurely
Just as the two were about to step into the curtain of rain with the umbrella opened, a note fell from the umbrella's ribs like a falling leaf
Open the umbrella before you reach the entrance; you must not get caught in this rain. Take care!
The umbrella is large enough; it is the largest type used by the hotel to pick up guests at the entrance on rainy days, providing ample coverage for two people!
As the color of the rain curtain at the entrance of the tunnel grew increasingly red, the surrounding stench of blood became more pronounced. The people seeking shelter from the rain in the tunnel began to discuss among themselves, and soon some started making phone calls to inform their family and friends that they had encountered something strange
The information flooding the entire city, the whole country, and the entire world is astonishingly all about this rain within just a few minutes
