Epoch of Twilight

"ah!"

There was a scream in the car.

Zhao Yali tightly grasped Luo Yuan's hand, she grasped so hard that her nails got embedded in Luo Yuan's flesh.

Luo Yuan didn't feel the pain. At this moment, his attention was completely absent. Through the window, he saw a gray mouse the size of a kitten running quickly across the road.

Compared with ordinary mice, this mutant mouse was very bold. Instead of running away, it stopped by the side of the road. It is covered in gray, its shiny fur is pressed against its body, and its teeth are very sharp. The most frightening thing is that its eyes are blood red, which makes people feel bloodthirsty.

"Damn beast, come here if you have the guts?" The driver cursed, and stepped on the accelerator, and the speed of the vehicle increased instantly.

It kept staring at the bus until it drove a long way, then it jumped off the road and ran towards the field.

Yushan was getting closer and closer. After the urban and rural buses entered a fork, they drove towards a road around the mountain. A large number of trees on the backing mountain have been burned, and one or two bullet casings can occasionally be seen on the side of the road.

There are large and small gravels everywhere on the road, and the road condition is very bad. The gravel kept rubbing against the front steel baffle, making clanking noises.

The journey seemed to be going smoothly, and Luo Yuan was slightly relieved.

The car drove staggeringly for a few minutes, and after turning a corner, a bus blocked the intersection diagonally, motionless. The driver slammed on the brakes. Looking at the bus, he seemed a little flustered, and quickly took out his cell phone to make a call.

But it was not connected. He called several times in a row, and finally dropped the phone heavily. He looked around, picked up the fire ax in the corner, said a few words in dialect to the people sitting in front, and pointed to a button on the front of the cab, and they responded. He pushed the door open, then closed it tightly, and walked towards the car in front.

"What did he say?" Luo Yuan asked.

"He said that there seems to be a problem ahead, he is going to take a look, and when he comes back soon, open the door for him." Zhao Yali said a little uneasy.

There was silence in the car, and everyone's breathing gradually became heavy.

"ah!"

At this time, there was a scream in front of him, and then everyone saw the driver running desperately towards this side, followed by seven or eight mice. His face was panicked and there was a hint of despair on his face. But the mouse was obviously faster than him. After only a few steps, a mouse bit his thigh, and he fell to the ground with a thump under severe pain, and the fire ax was also thrown on the ground.

The remaining few mice quickly jumped on him, biting his body fiercely with their sharp teeth, and blood flowed from his body very quickly.

With a scream, he got up desperately with all his hands and feet. At this moment, he didn't care about the fire axe. While running, he tore the mice off his body indiscriminately and threw them to the ground.

It seemed to smell the smell of blood, and rats appeared out of nowhere on the mountain beside the road.

The location where the car was parked was more than ten meters away from the bus in front. The driver desperately ran to the door of the bus. He knocked on the door with all his strength and shouted anxiously: "Open the door. ...quickly open the door..."

Several passengers sitting in front were pale and motionless. A young man wanted to stand up and open the door, but was pulled by the middle-aged woman next to him, and fell silent.

Many people are willing to help others to show their kindness, such as donating money during earthquakes, giving up seats on buses, donating blood for free, and so on. The premise of all this is that it is within one's ability, and the interests of the damage are insignificant, far within the scope of one's own tolerance.

But when such behavior seriously endangers self-interest, even life, human nature is always selfish.

"Open the door... please..." The driver looked desperate when he saw that he hadn't opened the door for a long time. In the next second, dozens of mice rushed down from the mountain and quickly bit him.

"You sons of bitches...you're going to die..." the driver screamed and cursed loudly.

More and more mutated rats jumped on him, and a large amount of blood gushed out from all over his body, soon turning him into a bloody man. With the passing of power, he could no longer hold onto the iron grid, The body slid limply to the ground, leaving a twisted bloodstain on the car door.

………………………………………………

Luo Yuan clenched his fists and wanted to stand up several times, but sat down weakly. He knew very well that if he rushed to open the door of the taxi, the rats would definitely come in, and the carriage would be chaotic and the casualties would be even heavier. Even with his skill, in such a crowded environment, he could only protect himself, and even cost Zhao Yali his life.

He is not a saint, nor is he a savior. All he can do is to protect himself and the safety of those around him.

Seeing the tragic death of the driver, he couldn't bear to look away.

A few mice climbed up the barbed wire fence, their crimson eyes looked coldly and greedily into the car through the window, and squeaked from time to time. The deadly silence in the car was terrifying, and there was only the sound of breathing that became heavier and heavier.

At the foot of the mountain, rat heads swarmed, and more and more rats flew towards this side. As time passed, the outside of the car was gradually covered with rats, the light was blocked, and the interior of the car quickly became dark.

"Ah, it's biting the barbed wire." The girl sitting in front of Luo Yuan screamed suddenly, with a hint of crying in her voice.

A dozen or so mice were constantly gnawing on the wire, and not long after, traces of white tooth powder mixed with black iron filings kept falling down.

Zhao Yali hugged his arm tightly, Luo Yuan could feel her whole body trembling.

There was a sudden panic in the car, and several people took out their phones and started calling the police. Maybe it was because the police were too busy with their business, or for some other reason, the phone couldn't get through at all.

"The barbed wire won't last long, whoever of you can drive, get out of here." An old man with black-rimmed glasses hurriedly said in dialect.

After waiting for a while, a well-dressed young man finally said tremblingly: "I only have a Class C driver's license, but I have never driven this kind of car before!"

"You have been driving for several years." The old man was taken aback when he heard the words, glanced at the mice that kept gnawing outside the window, and asked back

"I have been driving for two years, but recently I left it at home because of expensive gasoline," said the young man.

"I can't help it, I can't wait to die, you go and try." The old man was silent for a while, then said.

"Okay, okay!" The young man nodded, his face turned slightly pale.

He walked to the driver's seat and sat down.

Seeing the ferocious rats crawling all over the front windshield, his face instantly turned pale as paper. He took a deep breath and kept talking to himself. He dropped his hand to the steering wheel, and quickly lifted it up again. After a few minutes, the car finally started again.

The car was quiet, no one spoke, anyone could see the nervousness of the young driver.

Just at this moment, "Crack!" With a soft sound, a wire was bitten off by the mouse.

There was a scream in the car.

The young man trembled in fright, stepped on the accelerator, and the car suddenly slammed into the bus in front like a mad cow.

"No, stop!"

"My God!"

Luo Yuan's expression changed drastically, and he quickly hugged Zhao Yali, shrinking into a ball.

The next moment, the car slammed into the bus opposite, and the glass shattered instantly. What's more serious is that the barbed wire has also been pulled open a long gap. The car shook a few times and finally stopped.

Zhao Yali leaned in Luo Yuan's arms, secretly looking at Luo Yuan's handsome face, his face seemed to have a certain kind of determination, making people feel that no matter how big the danger was, it was nothing more than that in his eyes. It seems that by leaning on him, the heart will settle down.

Luo Yuan let go of Zhao Yali and asked her, "Sister Yali, are you okay? Are you injured?"

Zhao Yali came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "No, I was just shocked."

"It's good that you're not injured, don't worry, you'll be fine." Luo Yuan saw that she was not in the right mood, and seemed too calm, so he comforted her.

"En!" Zhao Yali responded.

The speed of the car was not fast, and the passengers were all sitting in the seats. Apart from being a little frightened, they were not seriously injured.

Of course, except for the young driver, he was lying on the steering wheel, motionless, with a stream of blood running down his fingertips, but no one was paying attention to him at this time.

The two cars were close together, Luo Yuan and some people boldly stood up and looked into the opposite car. His pupils shrank suddenly, and a cold chill rose from the tailbone...
