Chapter 4: The World Has Changed
Anze speculated that all creatures in this world, even a speck of dust, were changing, and everything was competing.
Mountains and rivers are all changing, and even An Ze's physical fitness is improving in all aspects.
"The fertility in the soil has increased hundreds of times, and the hardness of the surface has increased. Anze muttered to himself. He walked all the way in the sun and the moon, and the changes in the world were seen by him, he was no longer frightened, and he had gradually accepted it.
The weeds on the side of the road are even more special, every morning, the veins of the leaves are clearly visible, flowing with a strong vitality, and occasionally you will see the wildflowers bloom to the extreme, bright red, the rhizomes are deeply rooted in the soil, the fragrance of the flowers is overflowing, very intoxicating.
An Ze wanted to finish the road as soon as possible, his steps were fast, and his back was getting farther and farther on the road.
... ...
In the early morning, a mist rose, and a figure gradually became clear in the fog, which was An Ze, who had been walking day and night for several days.
After taking a sip of ancient wine, the tiredness was swept away, and An Ze shook the water bottle that had bottomed out.
"It's a walk-out, and if you walk for a few more days, I'm afraid I'll starve to death. Anze whispered, he had tried to feed on weeds, but found that those weeds were now so tough that they could not bite or swallow in their mouths, and as time went on, it would take all their strength to pull out even one of them.
He looked far away, and a city in the distance was hazy in the fog, like a giant city of gods descending from the sky, lying at the end of the road.
There is no human population around the city, and it is quiet and strange.
An Ze was very uneasy at the moment, it seemed that something was already known, he was eager to know what had happened during this time, and he ran towards the city quickly.
The streets were deserted, and pedestrians were hurrying away with large bags and small bags of luggage in their hands.
An Ze's brows furrowed, he stopped a few pedestrians to inquire about the situation, but people were very wary and did not want to talk to him, and ran in one direction with their heads lowered anxiously.
The whole city was almost empty, like a lonely dead city.
Anze followed the flow of people, and he could faintly hear the conversation in the flow of people, and there seemed to be the last train leaving the city in the south of the city.
But at this moment, someone stabbed him in the arm and whispered beside him.
"Brother, this road doesn't work, follow me!"
Hearing this, An Ze looked sideways and saw a fat man standing beside him, mysterious, with a solemn and nervous face, and after speaking, he sneakily glanced at the other people in the crowd.
Anze didn't speak, staring at him suspiciously, waiting for his next step.
"Listen to me, there is no way for this train to leave this city at all, most of these people are going to die in the middle of the way!" the fat man said in a shocking voice, and after speaking, he couldn't help but ask An Ze and took An Ze's arm and ran in the opposite direction of the flow of people.
"Hey, time is running out, I'll explain to you when I get in the car. ”
Anze was pulled into an alley by him, and a noisy red off-road vehicle was parked by the wall.
"It was okay a few days ago, but now the railway can't go at all, if it stops halfway, these people won't survive!"
After speaking, the fat man took a deep breath, wiped the sweat from his forehead, met An Ze's puzzled eyes, and said again.
"Uh, I'm sorry brother, I'm in too much of a hurry, get to know me, my name is Tang Rui. ”
"Anze!" Anze said.
The fat man was tired and panting, his accent was not local, and his voice was a little rough, which made An Ze quite impressed.
"Don't worry, the two of us are grasshoppers on a rope, let's find a way to get out of this city first and go to Jingzhou, where I heard that it is currently the safest!" said the fat man as he packed his luggage, and An Ze could see several large cans of gasoline on the trunk of the car.
Jingzhou Anze pondered, he could accept that he didn't have any relatives, and it didn't make a difference to him which city he went to, but he was still a little wary.
As if seeing the distrust in An Ze's eyes, the fat man said again: "I saw it, you came back from outside, and you came in on foot!"
Anzer nodded, but he didn't know what that meant.
"The world has changed so much, the city has not had a living person come in for four days in a row......"
"If you can come in from the outside, it means that you can take me from here too. ”
"Boom~"
As he spoke, the fat man turned on the fire of the car and drove An Ze towards the south of the city.
On the red off-road vehicle, the fat man looked at the things around him while driving, and from time to time he muttered the blessing of the Bodhisattva.
An Ze could see his nervousness and uneasiness and said slowly, "You know a lot?"
The fat man glanced at An Ze, he didn't understand why this man could walk back from the outside unharmed, even if it was luck, he had to borrow two points.
"My old man has a small position in the military, and I understand a little bit about the changes these days. After the fat man finished speaking, he patted his head very annoyed, he regretted very much that he had nothing to do on a whim and played a road trip.
Anze was talking to the fat man while shaking his phone, trying to find a signal.
"Try this for me, it was originally a gadget for thirteen, but I didn't expect it to come in handy. The fat man said, laughing at himself and throwing An Ze a mobile phone.
An Ze was a little surprised when he took the phone, which he knew was a satellite phone, very expensive, and it was said that there was a signal even in deep water or underground.
He opened his phone, flipped through it one by one, and then he gasped, and after a few moments, the shock in his heart sank and he closed the phone.
As the news said, those ancient ruins are all gone, and there are many unknown creatures that have transcended the rules, changed the sky, and the order may collapse.
"Ding!" The mobile phone rang again, it was the latest news, the mountain system on the screen was full of fairy energy, thousands of trees were towering, and they were still growing, an ancient tree of unknown variety was rooted on the top of a mountain, surprisingly large, the branches extended into the sky crazily, thick vines flowed down from the sky, and even the soil under the ground was shiny.
The news caused a lot of buzz, with some commenting below doubting the veracity of the news and most expressing fear and concern.
"Penglai Xianshan is here, and some people see that the mountain system of Penglai Island is rising and rising. An Ze said flatly.
At the same time, the red off-road body suddenly stagnated, and Tang Fatman's face changed and became as ugly as eating bitter melon.
"There are more and more strange things, I really don't know when it's a head!" he complained, Tang Fat Man was not as calm as An Ze, his expression was on his face, and he was very scared.
"Strange things happened one after another, didn't the military have any reaction?" An Ze was inquiring, Tang Fatzi's family background was not ordinary, and he might be able to know some inside information.
"The military had already sent troops in that day, but it was said that few people would come out alive. ”
Tang Fat Man paused as he spoke, and then said.
"I heard that the gene company also secretly sent people in, and it seems that one person came out alive. ”
"Someone came out alive?" Anze was surprised.
"Well, there is gossip, it is said that the person brought out a few fruits, which are very strange and can change a person's physique. ”
Anze was silent, his heart was very unsettled, there were people like him who had entered those places in the first place.
He had a gut feeling that the fruit in the package was even more extraordinary than the one the man had brought out.
"By the way, brother, you can walk in outside, I'm afraid you have experienced something unusual. "Tang Fat Man is very keen, that city is in the middle of nowhere, and An Ze can walk in to show that he has been out alone for a long time.
"Well, I've seen some strange things, but I've not encountered any danger. An Ze replied, he told Tang Fatzi some things, some changes have been known to everyone, there is no need for him to hide too much, only hide the matter of the fruit.
"I speculate that there is some kind of force that is changing the planet, that the world is getting bigger. Anze said quietly, he remembered that he had been on that road day and night.
But he didn't want the fat man to react particularly strongly when he heard this, so he nodded again and again.
"That's why that road doesn't work, the old man once told me not to take the railway, the military has confirmed that the planet is getting bigger, many railways have been pulled and broken, and those people are afraid that they will not survive. ”
Tang Fat Man was a little sad, he had tried to convey the news to the people of that city, but no one wanted to believe him.
The two talked like this, gradually getting acquainted, An Ze spoke less, he was more of a listener, listening to Tang Fatzi talk about the changes in the world during this time.
At night, there was not a single amount of light on the road, not even moonlight and starlight, it was pitch black, only an off-road vehicle with two searchlights speeding forward.
The feeling of silence and mystery permeated the car, and the darkness outside the window made people's hearts palpitate.
Tang Fat Man trembled, he had been looking for a topic with An Ze, he was very afraid that An Ze would fall asleep, the scene in front of him was terrifying, everything could not be measured by common sense, and it was difficult to guarantee that something strange would happen.
In fact, An Ze had no intention of sleeping, although his heart was stronger than ordinary people, but he was also uneasy, the scene in front of him was too terrifying, there were few clouds in the northwest plateau, and the night sky was often bright, and such a deep and terrible darkness had never appeared.
"You say, can we get to Jingzhou safely?" Tang Fatzi was very panicked now, wanting to seek some peace of mind from An Ze.
"Yes, don't think about it, if something happened a long time ago, it's just the weather. An Ze looked out of the window distractedly, his face was not good-looking, a little pale, this depressing atmosphere was very bad, it affected him, he could only comfort Tang Fat Man like this.
If he is in chaos, there may be a big mess, and as for whether he can get to Jingzhou safely, he doesn't know.
This night was destined to be unable to sleep, Tang Fatzi didn't want to stay longer for a moment, he stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and wanted to rush to Jingzhou as quickly as possible, where there is a complete military force, maybe able to deal with these unknown factors.
