Chapter I
Mingwei had a long dream, although it was a dream, it was very real, so real that she could empathize.
Sometime on October 10th, it was 3 o'clock in the afternoon for Mingwei's place, and the sky was unusually black and red, and public opinion discussed this vision, and the most said was that a natural disaster had come, the end of the world, of course, no one was serious. At that time, Ming Wei was lying on the desk in the school classroom in a self-study class, listening to the classmates around her discuss the sudden appearance and possibility of the vision outside the window, everyone speculated whether this vision would bring a sharp storm, or set off an unprovoked rush to buy, there was no explosive information on the Internet, but if the vision lasted long enough, it was very likely to happen, after all, people are easily affected by a certain phenomenon or speech, especially a virus or the end of the world.
The vision lasted for 2 hours, and the weather, hot air and dark sky made everyone irritable, whether it was the teacher or the students, they were not in the mood for class. From time to time, everyone looked at the sky outside where they could barely see anything, and a strange sense of unease continued to spread. Just before the math teacher could announce the end of class, a loud whistling sound in the sky drowned out the sound of the teacher shouting to end class. It was the sound of air raid sirens resounding through the city, and the roar of meteorites breaking through the air from the sky. Everyone was shocked, no one thought that the vision in the sky would really bring a huge natural disaster, and everyone ran to the window or balcony to check the meteorite group in the sky.
Countless burning meteorites fell from the sky, sliding from the sky with a strong red light, smashing into the earth with unstoppable momentum, everyone watched them continue to smash into the horizon, attacking in the direction of everyone at a very fast speed, before everyone could react and just let out a few panicked shouts, there was already a meteorite that smashed into the block only a few kilometers away from them, which was the city center, the most prosperous commercial area in City C, bringing up a burst of dust, shocks, and a panicked shout, everyone fell into a panic of the sky and the earth。
The power caused by this meteorite is so great that they can vaguely see the collapsed houses around them sinking one by one after the meteorite landed on the third floor. Fortunately, the quality of the teaching building is not bad, a little far from the epicenter, and it is still standing firmly after shaking more than a dozen times, but many buildings not far away have completely collapsed in this shock, and I don't know how many people have been crushed to death. The rumbling sound swept over them, attacking into the distance, seeing the meteorite group such a posture, Ming Wei instantly thought that the entire hemisphere should be within the attack range of the meteorite group, and she was really envious of the hemisphere area on the other side, which was not affected by natural disasters. It is conceivable that this natural disaster, brought tsunami, earthquake, typhoon, and even volcanic eruption, will definitely not be too few, human beings are probably the first time in history to face such a severe disaster, the whole world will be plunged into the huge climate and geological upheaval brought about by this natural disaster, I am afraid, the troubled times are coming.
When this happens, classes naturally can't go on, so the school suspends classes and gives students vacation, leaving students to go home and wait for the resumption of classes. Everyone scrambled to run downstairs, fearing that the teaching building would collapse and they would be crushed to death inside. Mingwei was a few steps behind, avoiding the panicked crowd and riding her bicycle on the way home, looking at the still black and red sky on the way, her heart was heavy and had an ominous premonition. What kind of change will those meteorites that crash into the earth through the dark clouds bring to the earth?
Supermarkets and shopping malls and other places seen on the road have gathered a large number of crazy people, social order is chaotic, all the streets are jammed, people start to act wantonly, for a while, the rumors of doom have been ingrained in people's hearts, and the crowd is caught in the crazy hoarding of food. At this time, the saving of money has almost lost its meaning, and people have to take food and other things for themselves. Mingwei can be seen everywhere, all of them are taking advantage of the catastrophe to smash and rob, and the land is chaotic. Ming Wei looked at the hurried crowd in front of her, hesitated for a long time, and finally squeezed into the largest supermarket nearby, and reluctantly grabbed two large bags of yogurt, fruit, ham sausages and other food that could not be stored in the supermarket warehouse, as well as some sanitary products, Ming Wei dragged the bags home. It's not that she doesn't want to take some food that can be stored for a long time, but these things have long been snatched up. These were carefully preserved by her, otherwise they would have been snatched by passers-by, but she saw with her own eyes that an aunt with a large bag of food in her hand was robbed of a fine light by a rush of people in an instant.
Mingwei's parents are abroad, opened a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown, and she lives with her grandmother, grandma because she worked too hard when she was young, and now her health is very bad, taking more medicine than eating, her son and daughter-in-law have been abroad for a long time, and other children rarely come to see her, Mingwei's grandmother's temper is not good, and the relationship between Mingwei and her grandmother can only be said to be inseparable. Back home, the old man is collecting the small tomatoes planted on the balcony, a worried face, obviously she has also learned about the end of the world, the two of them did not say much, the food stock at home is not much, grandma is not good, can only be Ming Wei go out to find some food, with some savings in the family to go out, but with Ming Wei's small body, even if riding a bicycle, how many materials can be squeezed out, how much can be brought back, the money is not used up, things are not brought back, by 7 o'clock in the evening, those supermarkets and markets are already empty, useful and useless, have been robbed。 Several of the owners sat slumped in despair, looking at the empty storefronts with dejected faces. Whether the end times are true or not, people have automatically turned it into the end of the world. Mingwei could only go home with the last little bread and radio battery she found, and her grandmother had already put tap water on the bathtub and several buckets at home according to her instructions, plus 1 large bucket of pure water that Mingwei barely snatched, the preparation at home was enough. Mingwei found that some of the food in the house was missing, and knew that her grandmother was afraid that she would leave her and hid in the room, Mingwei didn't say anything, grandma has always been like this. Don't trust anyone, not even her own son, not to mention, she's just a granddaughter.
The night is deep, but it is still a strange red, public opinion around the world is in an uproar, the meteorite group really attacked half of the world, many large and small cities have been attacked by meteorites, some unlucky cities The attack of meteorites directly damaged the city's power system or signal system, and the whole city fell into some kind of paralysis, and the chain reaction inspired by the impact of meteorites is far more than the collapse of countless houses, many cities are still in the aftershocks of instability, people look at the collapsed city, as well as the family and friends buried in it, full of crying and despair。 Compared to this, Ming Wei's C city only destroyed the facilities and electricity in that block, which is already very lucky. The other half of the world has also had a lot of natural disasters due to the influence of meteorite groups, and in short, the whole world is a little chaotic. People are in a panic of the unknown, some staying at home and stockpiling food for the unknown, while others are dragging their families and preparing to flee the city to the countryside or suburbs or even the wilderness, where they may be much safer than the city.
Mingwei and grandma naturally chose to stay at home, in fact, with grandma there, Mingwei couldn't choose to leave, that night, Mingwei tossed and turned in bed, looking at the news that had been updated on the computer and was uneasy, but in the end I didn't know when to fall into a deep sleep. The next day, when Mingwei woke up, she was faced with the first disaster in her life, her grandmother, an old man who usually had to lean against a wall or a cane to move normally, actually walked up to her tremblingly, her complexion was mottled and hideous, her eyes were scarlet blood, her whole face was deformed with horror, her sharp nails were blackened, and she stretched straight towards her. Mingwei slammed the door shut, her heartbeat almost came to a standstill when there was a roar and a banging sound from inside the door, she was stunned for several seconds before rushing out of the door frantically, but the moment she opened the door, she saw the door of the neighbor's house on the opposite side wide open, the door was empty, but the ground inside the door was covered with scarlet blood, and some pieces of flesh and blood seemed to indicate something.
Her fear rose to the strongest height, and she struggled for a long time between going out and going back, before she closed the door again and returned to the house, her grandmother was still slowly pounding on the door again and again, and her mouth let out a meaningless roar, Mingwei tried to push the cabinet to the side of her grandmother's bedroom door, resisted the handle, and then returned to the bedroom, checked the computer, the words of zombies have spread all over the Internet, mutated humans and animals have appeared all over the world, and countless people have been killed by their relatives and pets at home, they have completely lost consciousness, and the only remaining thoughts are the desire for fresh flesh and blood, and the instinct to keep eating。
Overnight, natural disasters struck all parts of the earth, especially coastal cities, which were basically hit by tsunamis, and countless lives were swept away by the sea and lost their lives, and the surviving human beings had to flee inland with their families. In other cities, most of the cities with large populations were destroyed by the earthquake because they were located in the earthquake zone, and people lost their homes in the midst of crying and screaming.
