Chapter 90 Don’t close your eyes
"Perhaps... the time is fleeting." Qi Xia nodded slightly, "It's very poetic."
"Does it sound good?" Xu Liunian smiled slightly and drove the car while still looking ahead, "I thought this name would make me a big star, but I ended up driving a taxi, haha."
Qi Xia followed her and sneered feebly a few times, but the next second, his expression turned cold.
"Xu Liunian, are you kidding me?"
"What's wrong?"
Qi Xia stretched out her bloodless hand and pointed at the taxi qualification certificate in front of her.
"The photo above...is indeed you."
"Yes, this is my car, so I have my professional qualification certificate on it. Is there any problem?" Xu Liunian showed a puzzled expression.
"Don't pretend to be stupid with me..." Qi Xia suddenly coughed a few times, then took a deep breath and said, "Your qualification certificate is hanging here, which means that this car really belongs to you... Then who are you? This Why is there a car that belongs to you in this city?”
"I don't understand." Xu Liunian shook his head, "Guest, do you usually chat like this with others?"
"How could a "participant" be caught here with a car?!" Qi Xia felt that his worldview was about to explode.
Although it is ridiculous to talk about "world view" in this weird place, the existence of the woman in front of him is indeed beyond Qi Xia's understanding.
He originally thought that the "aboriginal people" who were like zombies were the previous "participants". They had been here for too long, so they were crazy and lost.
But there is actually a person like Xu Liunian in front of us...
Her behavior is very strange, but her thinking is very clear.
She has her own property in the city.
"I really don't understand." Xu Liunian shook his head, "Guest, if you are deliberately looking for trouble, you'd better get out of the car as soon as possible."
Qi Xia shook his head vigorously, trying to stay awake as much as possible, hoping to use this method to ensure that what he saw in front of him was not an illusion.
"Xu Liunian..." he shouted.
"What's wrong?" In front of me
\u003c/di\u003e
The woman no longer had the previous politeness, and her tone was filled with impatience.
"How many customers can you drive in a day when you drive a taxi?" Qi Xia changed the topic and started talking about home affairs.
"I..." After hearing this, Xu Liunian was obviously stunned, as if he had never thought about this problem before. He thought for a long time before speaking, "You seem to be my first guest today..."
"Then how many customers can you get in a week?" Qi Xia asked again.
Xu Liunian felt that there was a dark area in his mind that had been hidden for a long time, and it was slowly being torn apart by the questions of the man in front of him.
Before she met this man, she felt like everything was fine with her.
But after meeting this man and hearing just a few questions, the painful memories in her mind poured out like an ocean.
"I seem...I haven't had any customers for a week..." She began to look dazed, her eyes moving constantly as if she was thinking about something.
Qi Xia realized that his question was shaking the other party, so he continued to ask:
"What did you eat this week? What did you drink? Where did you go after picking up the car?"
"I...I..." Xu Liunian's expression gradually became panicked, and he was on the verge of collapse. "I haven't eaten for a long time...When there are no customers, I always park on the roadside..."
"How long have you been parked on the side of the road?" Although Qi Xia's tone was calm, the hair on his body stood up, for fear of hearing some weird answer.
There was a loud friction sound, and Xu Liunian stopped the car hard in the middle of the road.
Her lips trembled as she looked ahead, her eyes looking a little different.
There was emotion in those eyes, completely different from the walking zombies on the street.
"I've been parked on the side of the road for two years!!!" she yelled, then burst into tears, "Oh my god... what's wrong with me?!"
"Two..." Qi
Xia's throat moved slightly and she swallowed, "You stopped on the roadside for two years without eating, drinking or sleeping?"
She stretched out her hands and looked at them, and then she understood.
"It's this car... When I saw this car in the city, I felt like I was possessed..."
"Is there anything weird about this car?" Qi Xia asked.
"This is the tool I rely on for a living in the real world! How could I see this car here..." Xu Liunian suddenly turned around and discovered Qi Xia's blood-stained clothes, "You are injured ?”
"It's okay..." Qi Xia shook his head, "This injury doesn't matter... are you awake now?"
Xu Liunian inspected Qi Xia's injuries with trembling hands, only to find that the surface of the wound had been roughly treated, and the entire flesh and blood had been burnt by the high temperature. Although the bleeding was stopped, the burn marks were very heavy.
"You were so seriously injured... If we don't find medicines quickly..." She choked up after speaking, "I almost forgot, there is no way there are medicines here..."
"Yes, there are no conditions for us to survive here." Qi Xia looked into the distance in despair, "Xu Liunian, I don't have long to live, can you do me a favor in the end?"
"You, you say."
"Keep driving forward." Qi Xia said, "I want to escape from here and see the edge of this city."
Xu Liunian looked at Qi Xia sadly, knowing that it was basically a miracle that he could stay awake now.
"Okay, I'll take you to the edge of the city, you have to hold on."
She put the car into gear again and shakily restarted the car.
Qi Xia leaned her head against the car window and looked at the gradually receding scenery outside.
He coughed twice and felt that something in his throat was pressing on his trachea, making it extremely difficult to breathe.
When life was about to enter its countdown, what Qi Xia saw was not a revolving door, but those dilapidated and rapidly retreating high-rise buildings.
I remember that day, I also got into a taxi.
\u003c/di\u003e
Rush to another city without hesitation.
He thought that when he returned to his hometown again, he and Yu Nianan would be able to live a good life.
Unexpectedly...
On the deserted street, Xu Liunian drove the car very fast, and Qi Xia bit her tongue hard to keep her consciousness awake.
Not long after, his mouth was filled with blood, and then he opened the car window and spit out a large mouthful of blood.
"Are you okay?" Xu Liunian asked anxiously.
"It's okay." Qi Xia wiped her mouth and said softly, "I feel very good now. I don't need to worry about "living". I have never felt so relaxed these days."
The two of them drove quickly in silence, and the car drove for nearly half an hour.
"Hey...are you still alive?" Xu Liunian slowed down the car and stretched out his right hand to shake Qi Xia. "We have reached the edge of the city. How are you going to escape?"
Qi Xia used all his strength to turn around and open his eyes, trying hard to look ahead. After a few seconds, his pupils gradually dilated.
There was a highway toll gate in front of me. The signs on it were so rusty that the handwriting was indistinguishable.
Looking along the toll gate of the expressway, we can see wide roads stretching forward.
Roads extend in all directions and stretch endlessly.
Far, far away, there are other tall buildings looming.
"It turns out there is no edge here at all..." Qi Xia's lips moved slightly, and she was overwhelmed by the sight in front of her again.
The words of "Human Sheep" slowly rang in Qi Xia's ears: "We are much grander than "religion", we have a world!"
Yes, if this is not a city at all, but a world, how do you escape?
"Where do we go next?"
Xu Liunian looked back at Qi Xia, only to find him lying lifelessly on his seat.
His eyes held a trace of confusion, a trace of resentment, and a trace of unwillingness, and he did not even close his eyes until he died.
