Rabbit was carried by the frightened crowd as she stumbled forward. It was not until she entered the air-raid shelter that she slowed down a little. However, as the dragon flames rushed into the hole, the crowd panicked again. The survivors wanted to get away from the hole, and Rabbit felt dizzy again.
When she came to her senses, she had no idea where she was standing. The air-raid shelter looked the same everywhere, and there were passages everywhere. It took her a long time to find her way back to the original entrance and see Zhang Heng again.
"Wow, what happened to your skin?!" Rabbit exclaimed.
"It's just a minor burn. It doesn't matter," Zhang Heng said. "Can you help me find some water?"
"Oh, oh … no problem," Rabbit nodded. After a while, she ran back and handed Zhang Heng a tin kettle. Zhang Heng fed Han's mother some water, told her to rest well, and then stood up.
"How is it?" Rabbit, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately came over and asked.
"Well, this dream should be based on Han Lu's memories of a day when she first entered junior high school. Today is her thirteenth birthday, and her mother made an exception to take her to the zoo to see the pandas. They made an appointment a month in advance, and Han Lu must have been looking forward to this day. She was so excited that she didn't sleep well that night. However, early in the morning, Han Lu's mother received an urgent call. There was an important translation task in the morning, and she had to give up her vacation. When she returned home, she found that Han Lu had left in a fit of pique.
So, she had to come out to look for her. "" Well … it's a tragic story. But why are there three dragons in this dream about childhood trauma? "
"This is also the question we need to find the answer to. Do you have any ideas?" Zhang Heng asked.
"Well, as far as we can see, there are huge and devastating disasters in both dreams we experienced. The tsunami before, and the dragons now. The appearance of the large clouds is a precursor to the outbreak of the disaster," Rabbit said. "They all have one thing in common — they are incompatible with the dream. Ruling out the possibility that Han Lu has been watching disaster movies or playing video games recently, these disasters are probably not part of Han Lu's dream. They are more like some kind of alien species."
"The Dreamland of Death?"
Rabbit nodded. "Yes, these disasters are probably related to the Dreamland of Death."
"Why did the Dreamland of Death destroy Han Lu's dream? What's the point? "
"That's a good question. At present, there are many scholars who focus on the study of dreams. Even before humans mastered the art of writing, the study of dreams had begun. Unfortunately, until today, our understanding of dreams is still very limited. What's more, the Dreamland of Death is related to Hypnos. It has always been the most mysterious Grade-B game item."
Rabbit paused. "But judging from Han Lu's behavior, she seems to be very afraid of these disasters. Every time a disaster strikes, she hides early. We don't know what will happen if she dies in a disaster, but I strongly suggest that we don't let that happen. We need to find her as soon as possible. Do you know where she is hiding?"
"Han Lu's mother did give me some locations, saying that Han Lu might be hiding there. It's difficult for her to move around now, and she hopes we can help her bring her daughter to the underground city," Zhang Heng said.
"Great, let's go now." Rabbit said, "According to the situation in the previous dream, we should have at least half a day's time."
… …..
The city in the 70s was still very different from the one in the 40s. For safety's sake, the two chose to take the underground passage to the nearest air-raid shelter entrance and then return to the surface. It wasn't easy to find the right way in the sprawling underground city.
Zhang Heng hired someone who was familiar with the city. Although he and Rabbit had no place to spend the new RMB, the wallet itself could still be used for trading. Besides, bartering was popular these days.
The man squeezed the wallet and felt that it was made of real leather. Besides, Zhang Heng said that he wanted to save Han Lu's life, so he agreed without hesitation. However, he could only guide them in the underground city. They would have to go back to the surface on their own.
Zhang Heng and Rabbit found three places in a row. According to Han Lu's mother, these were the three places that Han Lu liked to go to when she was alone. One of them had turned into a sea of fire, and Han Lu was nowhere to be found in the other two.
However, Zhang Heng and Rabbit didn't give up. After eliminating one place after another, there was only one place they hadn't been to, and the chances of encountering Han Lu there were very high.
But this time, when the two came out of the underground city again, the clouds in the sky were thinning at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Rabbit was so angry that she stomped her feet. "Sigh, what I'm afraid of has happened. Why does it have to happen at this time? There should be another thirty or forty hours before the next dream changes."
Zhang Heng frowned. The last place was Han Lu's best friend's house in junior high school. It was just a street away, and it wasn't too far away. The problem was that a dragon had landed on the roof to rest, and everyone nearby had run away. If Zhang Heng rushed to the place, he would be conspicuous.
After weighing the pros and cons, Zhang Heng decided to give up on the idea. According to his previous experience, the dream would change about two to three minutes after the clouds dispersed. It would be difficult for him to find an effective way to avoid the dragon's attention during this period. Besides, the dragon was still there, which meant that Han Lu had probably left that place.
Rabbit was a little discouraged when she saw this. "We ran for half a day, and we almost became barbecued meat. In the end, it's all for nothing."
Zhang Heng didn't say anything when he heard that. He kept looking at the dragon not far away, and no one knew what he was thinking.
Rabbit took advantage of the remaining time and said to Zhang Heng, "There's no hope this time. We may not be so close to each other in the next dream. Why don't we set a place in advance?"
"You decide." Zhang Heng retracted his gaze.
Rabbit thought for a while. "What about the square we saw before? I remember now. Forty years later, that place was transformed into an IKEA. Do you remember the road name?"
"Well, we'll meet there after that."
After Zhang Heng finished speaking, the dark clouds above his head disappeared, and the sun poured down again, as if plated the huge pair of dragon wings with a layer of golden brilliance.
The dragon raised its head and roared at the sky. The next moment, the third dream had arrived.
