"You have been leaving your hometown for seven years. I invite you to go back tonight." - "General History of the Wilderness: Returning Hometown"

...

The journey given by the cube this time was not particularly far. After a day and night of running, the dawn team arrived at Xicheng at 5:30 in the morning.

It was dawn at this time, Luo You stood on the edge of the city, his red eyes as red as the treasures of the gods stared at the bright golden sky in the distance. The sad and beautiful sun was reflected in his eyes, and a mysterious light flowed in his pupils. However, this young man did not seem to like the false warmth of the sun. He covered his eyes with his hands several times, rubbed his fingers gently, as if he wanted to crush the sunlight at his fingertips.

The sky may be the only object that can be admired by the era of collapse. Even though this beauty is meaningless, it is better than the barren doomsday wasteland.

At this moment, under this dazzling and beautiful sky, a lifeless dead city was lying silently on the desolate land.

From a distance, some of the tall buildings were broken in the middle, some were rusted by the rain, and only glass residues were left on the dilapidated windows. You can vaguely see the old homes that have been corroded by mold.

There are completely different scenes on both sides of the road. Private cars leaving the city collided in chaos and crowds, the front of the car was twisted, the engine was scrapped, and even the seats in the car were broken to reveal rotten cotton. Scattered rusty parts could be seen in many places.

The road to the city was extremely empty, but if you continue to walk forward, you will see destroyed military vehicles. If you have the courage to enter the ruins of this dead city and enter the inside, you will see the armored wreckage piled up like the mountains, and perhaps you can also see some corpses that have been eaten by crows and the military uniforms with red flags sewn on them.

Xicheng, a sad place where Luo You really doesn’t want to recall and even more unwilling to come back. This is the beginning of all tragedies and also where he lost Luo Wei...

Just when the Dawn team members didn't know which direction to enter the city, they suddenly found that Luo You was already walking towards the city with a familiarity, and they quickly followed.

Seven years have made the city where Luo You were born and raised a little strange, but every time he walked through a place, he could recall familiar scenes.

Walking in the city, Luo You could remember which tree he had climbed, throwing firecrackers in the sewer in which block, and even once he blew the entire manhole cover away, and was scolded by his family.

After walking through an alley, Luo You remembered that he had picked up a puppy nearby. He and Luo Yiqiu took the puppy home to take a bath and gave it food, but the puppy died of canine distemper, which made the two siblings cry secretly for several days.

There is also the road to school. Every Friday is always the happiest time for Luo You. When the school bell rings, you take your change to the convenience store to buy some snacks you like, leave the campus with your classmates' laughter, and find a quiet place to sit down and watch the sunset. If you have time, you will be lucky enough to see the girl you secretly love.

The warm and simple past is vivid in my mind. Those familiar and beautiful scenes floated by Luo You's mind bit by bit, and he was unconsciously immersed in the memories of the past...

When he walked to an open open land, Luo You remembered the day when the disaster came seven years ago. On that darkest day, he led Luo Wei to break through the defense line of the defenders and was finally blocked by Leng Luan. The two of them were separated by the end of the world.

Luo You's eyes swept across the armored wreckage all over the ground. These wreckages have lost their original appearance in the seven years of acid and rust, but in Luo You's eyes, they are still the great force that was once.

Lou You's vision began to jump, and he clearly recalled the scene at that time, remembered clearly which area the soldiers stood, where the shells fell, where the powerful tanks were crushed from, and even his figure of fighting at that time appeared in his sight.

Eric climbed onto an abandoned fortification, overlooking the sleeping armored cemetery, opened his eyes wide and sighed: "This is the main battlefield of Xicheng Blockade Battle. The Red Fu Fang broke through the defense line here and fought hard against General Cold Luan. God, I feel like I am facing a miraculous history!"

"It's really a shame, it's so exciting for you." The ghost hand sneered at the excited Eric and said, "If I were here, some defenders or generals, I could kill them all without leaving any trace!"

Eric was about to argue with the ghost hand with his neck red, but suddenly he found that Luo You had slipped away like a rabbit. He quickly shouted: "Hey hey hey! Why did this young man run around by himself? Don't get lost!"

Twenty minutes later, Luo You ran along the familiar and unfamiliar street to a low building. He stood below and stared silently at the building.

Eric ran over with the rest of the Dawn Team and said breathlessly: "You guy, you run faster than a rabbit, what are you doing?"

Surprisingly, when Luo You stared at the low building, the corner of his mouth suddenly raised slightly, revealing a charming smile that he had never seen before, and in an instant, even overshadowed the morning light of the rising sun. He smiled and said, "Today... let's repair it here..."

"Here?" Eric glanced at the dull low building, then looked at the terrain without any shelter around, and said, "Why is it here?"

Why? Because here is...

Home!

Luo You held the rusty and corroded door handle in his hand and opened the empty door. Although the dust raised all over the sky was almost suffocating and no longer had the warmth of the past, the long-lost feeling of home still made Luo You feel throbbing.

That's right, this is his home, his home in the old era...

Luo You was strolling around the home, even though it was covered with thick dust and no trace of anger, in his eyes, everything here has not changed. It has been seven years since, even though things have changed, even though the warm family has been broken, even if he has lost his mother's kind smile, and even if he can no longer hear Luo Wei's laughter, this is still his home, a place he misses the most.

"I'm back..." Luo You's voice was very low, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was talking to someone. His face was full of memories and lingering smiles. When he walked upstairs, he jumped into his eyes with an extremely familiar room, a room where he had lived for sixteen years.

For a moment, Luo You had the illusion, as if his past was a dream, as if he was just an ordinary teenager, going to school and leaving school every day, living a regular life, no longer having to face the wasteland of the end of the world, no need to worry about whether he could still see the rising sun tomorrow, everything was plain and warm, as usual.

However, this is just a fantasy, a stupid, unrealistic fantasy...
