Time in a collapsing world

"Sir, please get out of here quickly. It's very dangerous."

Hua patted the man's shoulder with a hand, stopping him from walking forward aimlessly.

"..."

There was no response. The man just turned his head to face Hua like a machine, and then slowly turned his body. It looked like a rusty machine, which was quite laborious.

"……gentlemen?"

Hua let go of her hand and slowly stepped back. Only then did her intuition tell her that something was wrong with this man.

“————!”

When the man finally turned his body completely towards Hua, his eyes began to focus, as if he had found a target, a terrifying look appeared on his face, and then he suddenly stepped forward, waving his hands to attack Hua without saying a word. .

But Hua was not a vegetarian. He just dodged and not only avoided the man's attack, but also controlled his left arm behind his back with his backhand.

For an ordinary person, Hua could easily subdue him with this move, but this weird man seemed to have no pain. Even if Hua used his greatest strength to control him, he was still struggling for his life.

"Sir, please calm down."

The man's struggle didn't make Hua feel any difficulty, and he still held his arm easily while still persuading him.

“————!”

It seemed that he had completely lost his mind. The man did not respond obviously to Hua's persuasion. He was still trying to pull out his arm, and he still had obvious attack intentions.

Is he crazy?

Hua was confused. In her eyes, this man's behavior was similar to that of a human being who had returned to primitive society, and he was full of aggression.

Click————!

The sound of a dislocated arm came. Hua was startled and subconsciously relaxed the strength on her hand. After all, she just wanted to control him, not hurt him. If something happened to him, she would feel guilty about it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the man finally broke free from the restraints. Ignoring his left arm hanging on one side, he suddenly turned around and grabbed Hua's shoulder with his other hand. He pulled hard and drew several long bloody traces on it with his nails. .

Hua frowned slightly. She could still bear the pain. After being attacked by the man, she did not kick him away. Instead, she grabbed his remaining hand, trying not to hurt him as much as possible. Get a grip on him.

"Oh, Hua, you are indeed too kind."

Li's voice sounded from behind the man, and then the man's body was suddenly pushed back. Like a little chicken, Li grabbed the back of the neck and easily lifted him up, then threw him back and fell heavily on the ground. He fell to the ground and couldn't get up for a long time.

"Look, this is the most effective way to deal with a lunatic who can't understand what people are saying. If you don't beat him to the ground, how can people listen to you and talk properly?"

Li taught Hua.

Looking at the motionless man lying on the ground, Hua didn't know what to say. Although Li helped her solve the problem, she still felt that this method was too rough.

"Is he... okay?"

"It's okay. At most he has a concussion. I have controlled it so that his head doesn't hit the ground."

Li touched Hua's injured shoulder with one hand, and then the wound on her disappeared as if by magic, turning into a small ball the size of a marble held between Li's fingers.

"Then what happens next?"

Hua asked, I'm afraid this man has a brain problem, and now he was completely knocked unconscious by Li. It's impossible for the two of them to just leave him here. In that case, maybe this guy will turn around and come back again. Turned into a walking zombie running around.

"Do you want to take him with you?"

"That's all."

Li shrugged. Even if they called an ambulance, they wouldn't come here, and Fire Chaser wouldn't send someone over to respond to an insignificant person, otherwise they would be able to relax.

"I'll carry him over."

Hua wanted to step forward, but Li volunteered to stop him.

"I'll go ahead. I'm carrying such a madman, but there's a risk of having my neck wiped. Well, although I'm different, there's a high chance I won't die even if my neck is wiped."

"..."

Li walked over to the man's lying body, and as soon as he knelt down and grabbed one of his hands, the other man suddenly opened his eyes and stared at Li's face.

"Hey, are you pretending to sleep?"

Li was not frightened, she just glanced at him and continued to put him on her back.

The man just looked at Li silently, and he didn't seem to have much desire to attack like before. Moreover, his eyes seemed a little weird, as if he was looking at a familiar friend, excited but shy.

"...Do you know me? Or do I know you?"

Facing the man's gaze, Li couldn't bear it and asked.

The man nodded mechanically, then shook his head, and then suddenly his whole body shook as if he was offline, and he lowered his head. After two or three seconds, he woke up again, looked at Li's face in front of him, and screamed in horror. :

"You, you, you...who are you? What do you want to do to me? It hurts...my hand, what's wrong with my left hand, and my body, my whole body hurts..."

"?"

Looking puzzled at the man's behavior as if he was a completely different person from just now, Li's head was full of questions.

what is this? Schizophrenia?

"Li, what's wrong with him?"

Seeing the man rolling on the ground in pain from a distance, Hua couldn't help but walked over and asked.

"I don't know, maybe I hit your head and woke you up?"

Li shook her head, indicating that she was unclear.

"But this is good, at least he won't bite us like a mad dog."

After saying this, Li walked over and used power to clear away the pain on his body, which made the man become quieter.

"Thank you, thank you..."

The man was lying on the ground, as if he hadn't recovered from the pain just now. Although he didn't know who the two people were in front of him, he didn't know how he appeared here, and he didn't know how Li eliminated the pain on his body. But I still have to say thank you anyway.

"Can you walk by yourself?"

Li asked.

"Not yet, I want to lie down for a while."

"Okay, let me ask you a few questions."

"Um...please ask."

"Are you a resident of this city...Peg City?"

"Yes... no, no, no, I have moved to another city now. Wait, is this Peg City?"

Only then did the man realize that the ruins around him looked familiar. Isn't this the city of Pegg where he had lived for several years?

"I shouldn't be here...I have moved out since the city collapsed. I will never come back no matter what...?"

"?You don't know how you got here?"

Li raised her eyebrows.

"Yes, after the collapse, I remember that I successfully ran away, settled in the city next door, had a girlfriend, and then had a child..."

"Wait, stop it!"

From the words in the man's mouth, Li realized something was wrong.
