Ah Xia lay on the sofa with a heavy heart, holding a wet towel on his forehead, he didn't want to see the black X that upset him, but he hoped that the wet towel could suddenly wipe it off and wash it off.

The more he thought of this inexplicable thing on his forehead, the more he couldn't sit still, and asked himself over and over again, what the hell is this? Why did it suddenly appear on his forehead, and his wife and daughter couldn't see it? What does it mean?

Although he had communicated with Ah Ming that day, both of them carefully avoided the conjecture that they were most afraid of, but that idea seemed to take root in his heart, and it popped up from time to time, making him wake up from his sleep several times with sweat!

The news is being broadcast on the TV, talking about the man who was infected with an unknown virus in Guangdong the day before yesterday, due to a serious respiratory disease, died in the hospital at 9:54 am today, and a photo of the man appeared on TV.

Ah Xia's mind was not on the TV at all, but when he wanted to pick up the towel that had fallen on the ground, he inadvertently looked up and was startled, because in his eyes, the man who died of infection on the TV had a huge black × printed on his forehead!

Exactly the same as the one on his forehead!

Ah Xia was in a mess all of a sudden, except for him, this was the second person he saw with a black X on his forehead!

Why did he also have a black X on his forehead? Why did he appear with a black X and die? Was this a coincidence or was there a causal relationship? The unspoken conjectures of the day and Amin seemed to be confirmed little by little.

Thinking of Ah Ming, how is he doing now? Ah Xia hurriedly found the business card left by Ah Ming, which had the phone number in his store, but it was a woman who answered the phone, and her voice could not hide her sadness.

She told Ah Xia that Ah Ming had died the day before yesterday! The woman told Ah Xia that the phone call would be useless in the future because the cross-bridge rice noodle shop was going to close today.

Ah Xia couldn't listen to what the woman said behind him, and when he heard the news of Ah Ming's sudden death, the whole world had collapsed~ He could barely stand under the pressure!

He sat down on the ground and finally understood what × meant, a sign of death.

Amin is dead, and he's next?

Amin had a heart attack, Amin's father had a myocardial infarction, and the man on TV was infected with germs.

And what about yourself?

Knowing that he was about to die, but not knowing when death would come suddenly, and not knowing what kind of way to die, this sense of powerlessness that his fate was completely out of control made Ah Xia almost break down.

He went to worship Amin, and Amin, who had closed his eyes forever, had no fear on his face, and replaced it with serenity, perhaps, this was not a relief for him.

Ah Xia noticed that the × on Amin's body was gone. Sure enough, only when the person dies will Black X disappear with it.

In the evening, after getting off work, Ah Xia did not go home, but wore a suit and leather shoes, carried a briefcase, wandered in the small park downstairs of his house, sitting alone on a swing in the dark, and his thoughts were chaotic~

- I should have died, three days later, three months later, I was hit by a car, or was I killed by gangsters, what happened to my lovely wife when I died, what about my beloved daughters, who will take care of them?......

The thought of this broke his heart.

Back at home, as usual, Axia eats cold rice alone, while his wife and daughter watch TV while shopping on Taobao, exchanging opinions on a certain product from time to time.

In the past, Ah Xia would be very disappointed at this time, his wife didn't care about him too much, even if he came home late, he should warm up the cold rice, or care about it, ask him about his work, if there is anything interesting today...... The daughter is too, not as cute as she was when she was a child, and she dislikes him as a father.

It's not easy for him, he has to make money to support his family, and he has to pay off a huge mortgage every month, and the pressure is so great, where is the time to care about whether the toothbrushes are leaning together.

However, today he felt that this scene was never warmer, and he didn't know how many times he could see a scene like this.

Ah Xia firmly believed that he was dying, and it was a sudden death, the kind without warning, he did not tell his wife and daughter about this speculation, but secretly bought a huge amount of insurance, thinking that even if he died, the mother and daughter could live well.

It's another early morning, get up and wake up Ah Xia, looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, the mood is suddenly unprecedentedly relaxed, this is a beautiful day, although he may go out to work and never have a chance to go home, but he has been relieved, people will die sooner or later, instead of spending it in a panic like this, it is better to do something meaningful.

When brushing his teeth in the morning, his daughter complained that he had leaned his toothbrush against him.

Ah Xia smiled and said, "I'm sorry, don't be angry~ I'll buy you a new one when I get off work, by the way, do you like pink, or sky blue, in fact, I think light green looks better." ”

On the way to work, Asha is no longer decadent and powerless, he is full of energy, and even feels that the crowded subway is full of a kind of vitality and beauty.

When he returned to the company, the first thing he did was to find out the old factory manager's plan, seriously help him revise it, and personally persuade the branch manager to approve the old factory manager's financing application.

In the factory, the old factory director shook his hands, took the plan, and kept thanking Axia.

The female subordinate said briskly, Section Chief, you have changed a lot recently. In the hearts of female subordinates, the section chief used to be quite mean.

The section chief said with a smile that today is his wife's birthday, so he won't go back to the company, and he wants to pick a gift.

On the subway, Asha happily looked at the gift upside down, thinking about how happy her wife would be when she received the gift, oh, and the pale green toothbrush that her daughter wanted.

Today was successfully passed, and I thought that I would fall down and die at any time, thank God, so that he could go home safely, spend a good night with his wife and daughter, even if he died immediately after his wife's birthday, he was satisfied.

He raised his head and saw an advertising poster flashing quickly on the window opposite the subway, and the poster was Li Yujian, which seemed to be an advertisement for a suit. Ah Xia knows Li Yuzhen, he likes the song "Just Met You" very much, why don't you sing this song to your wife tonight, it seems that when you go back to the time when you were in love, your wife will definitely be very surprised.

After making up her mind, Ah Xia moved her gaze down and landed on a woman in the seat opposite, and then was shocked to see a huge × on her forehead!

Hey, another guy with a black X on his forehead?

Ah Xia turned his head and saw that there were people sitting next to him!

I couldn't find any of them before, but now all of a sudden there are two?

Ah Xia stood up in a little panic and looked around, and found that there were all the people in the car!

The passengers on the entire subway train, everyone has a black × on their foreheads that represents death!

The whole car is full of people!They're going to die??

Is there a terrorist attack on the subway??

There are so many people, there should be thousands, all dead?

"Please, everyone, get off the train, the subway is going to have an accident, come with me~"

Ah Xia shouted loudly, like a madman, but everyone looked at them like fools, indifferent~

Ah Xia appealed loudly for a long time, but no one paid attention to him, and finally got off the train alone, and he wanted to leave the subway station quickly.

However, people who come and go in the subway station also have black × on their foreheads that represent death!!

Asha sweat hair stands erect~ Not only is there going to be an accident on the train, but even there is a big incident in the subway station, is there a bomb?

He shouted again, but no one paid attention to him, treating him as a psychopath, and even a police officer spoke into the pager, which seemed to regard him as an unstable factor and wanted to call someone to control him.

Asha didn't dare to linger any longer, and fled the subway station in panic, and came to the ground, where the streets were full of people, the storefronts on the street were lit up with colorful lights, and people were rushing home from work, which was supposed to be a warm moment, but ......

Pedestrians on the street, everyone has a black × on their foreheads!

Everybody is about to die?!!

Asha is completely in a frenzy, what the hell is going on?!

Is the city going to be devastated??Is it an earthquake?Or is war coming??

Ah Xia thought of his wife and daughter at home, and ran home desperately, and he didn't care if the gift fell on the ground.

He rushed into the house panting, his wife and daughter were preparing dinner, it was his birthday night, and the house was very warmly decorated.

Ah Xia shouted, hurry up and pack your luggage and come with me, something big is going to happen in Yuezhou, and everyone is going to die.

The wife and daughter turned their heads and looked at him inexplicably, and the manic Asha suddenly stood still~ knelt on the ground in despair, and the wife and daughter also had a death fork on their foreheads!

How could this be? How could this be? What happened? What horror is going to happen?

Asha muttered to herself in pain, and his wife and daughter were frightened, thinking that something had happened to him, and rushed over to hug him, and the family of three hugged each other tightly.

At this time, the news was being broadcast on TV, and the senior government official in charge of health care said that three more men and one woman in Guangdong had just been infected with an unknown virus and died soon after, and the cause of death was severe pneumonia caused by respiratory diseases!

The government has activated a red alert asking all personnel not to go out as much as possible, because the virus can spread through the air and cannot be prevented!

While listening to the news on TV, Ah Xia raised his head and looked, he was suddenly shocked, in his gaze, everyone on TV, including the high-ranking officials, hosts, and media reporters who were talking...... Everyone has a fork of death on their foreheads!

The senior official also said that the government has temporarily named this unknown virus SARS coronavirus.
