home

"Brother."

"Ethan."

A familiar sound swirled in his ears, gradually awakening Ethan from his coma.

"Huh? This is...." Ethan was confused and stunned for a long time before he realized how familiar his surroundings were.

But where once the familiar environment had been clean and organized by Carly, now the house was cluttered and messy.

This is Ethan's home, the warm, warm place before the apocalypse.

A typical duplex American family room, Ethan slowly sat up from the couch, his eyes were filled with memories. Finally, Ethan's eyes were fixed on the wall next to the wooden staircase.

There are red and blue lines marking the year and date, where the height of the two children is recorded for each year, and a few simple lines and numbers already make Ethan smile slightly.

"Ethan... Brother..."

"Huh? Who's that?" Ethan suddenly stood up, then a painful mumble, then found his body is covered with traces of bandages, different from normal bandages, wrap Ethan's wound, is a piece of rags.

"Lily?" Ethan asked incredulously, his mind was not clear, and he did not know whether he was hearing voices.

On the wall behind Ethan's couch, the shape of a human face faded away. Very strange is that such a wall, how can print the shape of a human face, and, will return to the original state?

Ethan kept looking around, but there was no sign of Lily, and he never heard the faint voice again.

After a long and fruitless search, Ethan frowns as he recalls everything, but finds that his memory is somewhat incoherent, and the most clear is the moment when his military vehicle was hit by a predator and rushed to the storefront on the street.

The next memory is a little fuzzy, Ethan seems to vaguely remember a few images, it seems that another powerful creature and the hunter who hunted him, it seems that he crawled towards the direction of home, subconsciously, it seems that he also did a very simple treatment of the wound.

So, when Ethan came to, he was lying on the couch on the first floor of the house?

There are some advantages to this empty city, such as the absence of low-IQ zombies, otherwise Ethan would have been eaten by them in the process of regaining consciousness.

As for the predators, and the powerful creatures that protect them (Ethan didn't see what those creatures were, didn't know they were also predators), what were they?

How can an ordinary soldier be protected by a mysterious and powerful force? If the hunters weren't angry this time, I'm afraid they still wouldn't be after Ethan, so why don't they open their mouths to themselves?

Is it the flower you ate? Is it...?

Ethan slowly walked to the bathroom, walked through the mess of the house, came to the first floor of the bathroom, the cosmetics were all over the white door pushed a piece, Ethan came to the sink, slowly squat down, open the cabinet below, when Ethan saw the family first aid kit, could not help but slightly relieved.

Ethan this way to escape, most of the wounds on the body are scrapes, scrapes, scratches, and not too fatal injuries, I am afraid the most deadly, is the crash, which makes his brain reaction a little dull, even now also a little dizzy.

Ethan carefully cut his tattered clothes, and the subconscious treatment of the wound when different, Ethan did not vigorously tear. The clothes that could be called rags were stained with blood and smelled fishy.

Ethan carefully treated the wound, took a deep breath, turned and walked out of the door.

I look around, but my head is thinking about my next move.

Ethan obviously knows it's both dangerous and safe. Dangerous because of extra-dimensional predators, and safe because... Predators don't seem to hunt themselves as long as they don't provoke them.

And the creatures that showed up just before Ethan died protected him, which made Ethan really realize that he was safe here.

So the town, which has no xenogenic dogs, no other dimensional creatures, and no walking dead, has instead become a safe haven for Ethan.

Since this is the case, to restore physical strength, rest and rest is the most need to do.

Ethan sighed slowly and walked into the dining room, which was more disheveled than expected. It must have been ransacked. At least the refrigerator was four doors open and had been cleaned.

Fortunately, Ethan still found a can of beans in the corner of the cupboard, once Ethan shrugged off the food, to now, but became Ethan's life-saving rations. Really, to be honest, Ethan thinks that the man who invented the can of beans and the man who invented the can of herring is the same kind of man, with such a bad taste, who invented such a bad food.

Ethan walked slowly out of the dining room, his eyes on the wooden stairs, and then, step by step, he walked up the stairs.

The first room on the left of the second floor landing is my bedroom, the first room on the right is my parents' bedroom, and the innermost room is Lily's bedroom, which belongs to the little angel who laughs and talks all day.

Ethan while eating the can of beans, while slowly open his room, although it has been rummaged traces, but at least can get into the eye.

Ethan's eyes were fixed on the picture frame hanging on the wall, which was three men and a woman, a total of four young people, with a slightly green sweet smile on their faces, holding photos of awards and MEDALS.

"Oh, two years. I wonder where you all are." Ethan made a slight gesture and looked a little lost.

Ethan, first on the left, with dark hair, dark eyes and yellow skin, was obviously a bit shorter than the other three guys, maybe at that time, he wasn't even 5 '7 "?

The second from the left, is a figure like a bamboo pole like black youth, he wears glasses, a head close to the scalp of the short curly hair, a gentle appearance, thick lips are very characteristic, his mouth bite medal, smiling, you can see that he was very happy at that time.

His name is Mike, and he is one of Ethan's two best friends, and Ethan's other best friend is the white man next to Mike, Green. This young white man has a very interesting name. His name is Green Green. Ethan and Mike like to call him gg.

Yes, in the process of competing in various knowledge competitions in the past days, they always shouted "gg" in laughter.

Green is relatively fat, blond long hair, face and light freckles, blue eyes, high nose bridge, looks a little funny, smile is also a little stiff, because, it is the first time he held the girl next to him.

Yellow skin Ethan, black Mike, white Green is the famous nerd trio in the school, the classmates are affectionately called them "dead nerd", of course, not behind the scenes, but in front of the three said.

Among the three, white Green faces the most pressure, no matter what kind of era it is, but the situation of racial discrimination is still serious, white Green mixes with a black man and a yellow man all day, making him a loser in the eyes of all his peers.

That time, the math competition required four people to participate, and the three of them no longer had any other friends at school, so the girl was pulled in to make up the numbers.

The girl in the photo looks like a white swan, set off by three ugly ducklings. With delicate features, beautiful long hair, graceful body lines and a sweet smile on her face, it is no wonder that Green fell in love with her.

Kathryn, Ethan remembers her name, was fascinated by the girl when the white Green saw Kathryn for the first time, for which Ethan and Mike gave Green advice several times.

But they were despised every time in vain, until that day, Catherine passed the selection of the school team cheerleading, and finally became one of them.

That day, Green tried to take advantage of Catherine's joy, once again summon up courage to go to her confession.

That was the time that three tall tall, thin thin, fat fat nerd trio stepped onto the football field, Ethan and Mike were all around the play-mocking eyes looked down, but had no way, they wanted to stand behind Green, rooting for Green.

The three outliers became the laughingstock of the school that day, but the three got used to it.

Catherine may have been giddy with joy, or trying to keep up appearances, or... She made a casual joke, saying to Green, who had been courting her for so long: "Impress me."

Before the speech fell, not far away Ethan was laid to the ground, when the thin Ethan was hit seven meat and eight vegetarian, soft lying on the artificial lawn, when the dizzy Ethan returned to God, I saw a tall girl's figure blocked the sun, and even blocked the sky above his head, she held a helmet in one hand, a hand on the knee, slightly bent the knee, slightly concerned asked: "Are you all right, little fellow?"

"No... Uh..." Ethan rubbed his shoulders in pain.

"You know, we're training, you're not supposed to just stand here, there's an audience over there, okay? You could easily get hurt." The girl reached down and grabbed Ethan's arm and pulled him to his feet.

"Shall I take you to the hospital?" The girl looked down at the bewildered Ethan and asked, with some amusement, "Talk, little guy?"

"I'm not a little guy." Ethan didn't know where the courage came from, suddenly looked up and muttered.

It was a small voice, but at least it said it, and it said it with its head up.

"All right, all right! But I suggest you go to the school nurse's office." The girl looked at Ethan, who was only about her shoulder height, shrugged her shoulders casually, and said, "By the way, my name is Miranda, if you find anything wrong with your body after the examination, you can come to me, I will not escape the responsibility."

Miranda pointed to the outside of the field and said, "Now, get out of here, your little body will be crushed by the players."

Before Ethan could say anything, he was hugged on the shoulder by the distant Green who ran in ecstasy: "Ha ha, Ethan, I succeeded, she agreed, but there is a requirement that I have to do something earth-shaking to get her to agree!" Wahahahaha... Ethan, what's wrong with you, Ethan? Are you talking?"

One side, black Mike carefully walked over, Shouting for the two to hurry away from this place of trouble.

The playground, not their home court.

"Mike?" Green put his arm around Ethan's shoulder and walked quickly out, asking, "Mike? What's the matter with Ethan?"

Mike routinely pushed his glasses and said, "Ethan just showed me with his life how to pick me up."

Ethan: "..."
