Chapter 208: Earth Upheaval
At midnight, a young man who had just finished working overtime and was hurriedly walking on the dim streets of the city disappeared directly after touching a faintly visible dreamy light, and only a mobile phone with a broken screen was lying quietly on the ground.
Inside the dilapidated factory, a patrolling security guard vanished, leaving only a dimly lit flashlight that appeared to be running out of battery.
In the countryside, the farmer who had just returned home from his busy work suddenly disappeared, and only a hoe proved that he had been here.
In the dark park, the young men and women who were in love disappeared directly, and only a gust of wind blew in their place, and no one knew that they had been here.
......
After Fax disappeared, it was like triggering some mechanism, and such a vortex of dreamy light appeared one after another in many places on the entire earth, and as long as the person who touched it, it disappeared directly.
At first, all of this happens unwitnessed, and no one pays attention to it except for the close contacts of the disappeared person.
But when the first case of a direct disappearance appeared, when someone witnessed it, this strange thing finally attracted the attention of the authorities.
However, the earth humans who have experienced the advent of the star world are obviously much stronger in their ability to endure this kind of strange thing. Moreover, there were not many witnesses, and they did not spread, and they did not cause widespread shock.
After the official notice, it only sealed off the disappearance site and conducted an investigation without arousing public opinion as much as possible.
What really pushes this strange thing to a climax and causes global shocks is the news that comes from the usual and normal.
......
Times Square, a bustling neighborhood in Manhattan, is known as the 'Crossroads of the World'.
Surrounded by colorful neon lights and street performers, the big screen of news, songs, music videos, and TV shows is enough to shock everyone's eyes.
This is the only area in New York that requires owners to hang a bright billboard under the planning ordinance, and many news outlets around the world, including the United States Broadcasting Corporation, have studios and press centers in Times Square, with the bustling scenery as the backdrop of the studios.
At night, during prime time, it is the working hours of the studios.
All news media are broadcasting news about the world, and they are delivering timely news information to everyone as much as possible.
But they didn't expect that one day, they would also be part of the news.
On this night.
In the background of their news, a huge colorful vortex slowly appeared in Times Square, which was originally full of lights and wine, and prosperous.
At first, neither the studio staff nor the news audience paid much attention to it, thinking it was the lighting effect in Times Square — which would normally be fine.
Even if some people feel familiar, the thought is fleeting.
But this time, the situation ...... It seems to have come as a surprise to everyone.
Because after the dream whirlpool appeared, the people who originally walked on Times Square disappeared one by one after touching the colored light.
When the first person disappeared, only a few people around noticed it, some in disbelief, but it did not cause a big sensation.
But as more and more people disappeared, the whole Times Square was shaken.
And in a short period of time, the whole Times Square began to become extremely chaotic.
The more chaotic it became, the more people who didn't know what was going on scattered, and the light disappeared.
It's like a chain reaction.
Times Square, which was originally bustling and shoulder to shoulder, seemed to become a terrifying beast in an instant, constantly devouring the humans it accidentally touched.
"Run!"
"Damn it!"
"Why did the man disappear!"
"What the hell is going on!"
Such a scene is somewhat similar to the scene in the movie "Resident Evil".
The difference is that the danger in "Resident Evil", that is, zombies, is visible.
What is happening here is completely unknown.
The unknown is the scariest thing.
The changes in Times Square were broadcast in real time by many news studios as background boards, allowing all news viewers to see the shocking scene unprecedentedly.
In fact, not only the pedestrians in Times Square, but also the studios were in a state of confusion when they noticed the situation, and some even ran away because they were afraid.
But there are also some people who immediately realized that this was a big news, so they simply pointed the camera directly at Times Square and began to insert the news of Times Square's changes.
"All the viewers who watched the live broadcast, as you can see, there was an unknown change in Times Square, a large number of pedestrians disappeared after touching the colored light, we can clearly see that the situation below is chaotic to the extreme, we don't have any reasonable explanation at the moment, and the station will continue to report on the details of this matter!" said a blonde reporter forcibly suppressed the tension in her heart and said to the camera.
"Oh God, oh my God! It's true, you read that right, the bustling Times Square has become an unavoidable beast, everyone is fleeing, and it's so chaotic that we have no way of knowing why it's happening, where the disappeared people have gone......"
As more and more news outlets began to broadcast the news in real time, the news was delivered to more and more people, and it began to spread on the network as well.
Rumble!
All the news viewers were shocked, and they couldn't help but open their eyes wide and look at the news footage shot by the high-definition camera without blinking.
Some sharp-eyed people can even see pedestrians disappear directly.
The whole planet is completely boiling!
The mutation of Times Square has finally completely caused a sensation around the world.
"Oh my God!"
"What's the situation?
"Could it be that another star world has arrived?"
"Has anyone come forward and explained?"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
They actually saw this kind of shocking scene from the news that they usually pay little attention to, usually as background sound and background pictures.
Due to the nature of the news and the fact that it still appeared on the live stream, the news immediately spread around the world. Even some people who are busy with work and sleep are notified by relatives and friends.
By the time the officials of various countries realize the seriousness of the matter, it will be too late, even if they want to cover it up.
And, that's not all.
No one would have thought that the incident in Times Square was just an introduction, and as this incident happened, more and more similar situations were constantly exposed.
It seems that in an instant, in all corners of the world, there are abnormal changes in human beings disappearing for no reason.
Everyone couldn't help but ask, what's wrong with this world?
