Chapter 2: It's all popsicles
At the dinner table, my uncle was foaming at the mouth and talking about the novelties he had encountered during this time, and my mother stared at him dissatisfiedly without saying a word. My dad lit a cigarette and sat on his side in a chair, listening silently, interjecting a sentence or two from time to time. And my attention was all about the various dishes on the table, and then one by one into my mouth, without stopping. It's like my stomach is like a bottomless pit, and I can't fill it anymore.
After I had my fill of wine and food, I finished tonight's dinner with a heavy hiccup. I ate the most, followed by my uncle, his mouth is really fast, and he still has time to grab food with me while talking about the world.
My dad drank more and ate less vegetables, while my mom only ate the dish close to her, and only that plate seemed to have not been contaminated by my uncle's saliva.
At this time, my mom would get up and put away the dishes, regardless of whether anyone wanted to eat again. When it was time for my dad to talk seriously, he picked up a newspaper and put it on the table, pointing to the contents of a corner of the newspaper. I knew what it was at a glance, and that was what happened yesterday.
I heard that there is a female corpse near Jasmine Park in the southeast area that has surfaced on the water, her face has been gnawed clean by something, and she can't look down on her original appearance at all, and she must have suffered great pain before she died, and the cruelty can be imagined.
My dad asked, "What do you think?" I know he asked my uncle, and I've heard that my uncle is doing criminal police and other jobs, and his background and ability seem to be quite small, at least he can clearly know my whereabouts.
The uncle pinched his chin full of stubble, and let out a deep sigh, "I went to the scene to investigate, but I didn't find anything special." ”
"Could it be an Inhuman?"
"Who knows? I've been listening to these things for a long time. ”
"Your soldiers are well trained, right?"
"Well, it's not bad. ”
"Borrowed envoys?"
"No, no, it's not time yet. ”
"I've been jumping my eyelids a lot lately, I'm afraid something has happened. ”
"Don't be suspicious. You're just too hard. I know, the country has liberalized the two-child policy, you don't die, don't you? My sister-in-law won't agree, right......?"
Before he finished speaking, a kitchen knife suddenly threw out of the kitchen and slashed into the wall, only one centimeter away from the uncle's ear.
Uncle took my dad's cigarette, lit it, took a deep breath, and his hand trembling with the cigarette.
"It's so dangerous, I almost hung up. ”
At this time, the two of them no longer spoke, smoked silently, and each had something on his mind. My mom slowly walked out of the kitchen, handed me a popsicle, and glanced at the uncle next to her with murderous eyes, so frightened that he curled up and didn't dare to squeak. My mom then took back the kitchen knife stuck in the wall and went back to the kitchen to wash the dishes.
As I smoked a popsicle, I pondered the brief conversation between my dad and my uncle, and I knew that the two of them were talking about a word that has been very popular lately - inhuman.
No one knows where the "aliens" came from, as if they fell from the sky, vandalized and disappeared completely, and some even included the 9/11 incident in the United States. It's a bit like a suspenseful science fiction story, and even now there are still many people who take these as stories and don't feel at ease at all. People who are keen on bizarre and bizarre events have also published some fictional stories to exaggerate how terrifying and mysterious "Inhuman" is. The three-person tiger effect makes more and more people accept the word "alien", as if it is a trend, if you don't know, it will be too low. It has to be reminiscent of the "2012 Doomsday Theory" four years ago. There are also more and more voices about "aliens" in the world.
In the eyes of reasonable people, this is a grand farce directed and performed by lovers of strange and exotic literature.
UFO Association personnel even suggested that this was the statement that aliens had caught earthlings for secret experiments, so ordinary earthlings were turned into superheroes with special abilities. Of course, this was talked about as an after-dinner joke, and even the person who said it posted his own playful smile when he published it in the magazine.
This topic has been quoted many times by many media outlets, and even visionary directors, with keen intuition, shot "Inhuman" - an epic disaster film one step ahead. It tells the story of "Inhumans" who came because of genetic mutations, and the country sent troops to exterminate them in order to erase them, erase the stains, and send troops to exterminate them, and "Inhumans" had to fight against the human army in order to survive, and were finally destroyed because of love.
In the film, there are a large number of scenes of the army and the "Inhuman" fighting, which is tense and exciting, and finally the "Inhuman" was destroyed by the human army because he saved a human child, and the boy hummed a "Peace Song" at the end of the film to leave a deep impression and reflection on the audience, and the whole film shows the theme of life and greatness.
The movie was a sensation on the first day of its release. This low-budget and high-income film allowed the director to successfully win multiple Oscars, and then more and more films about "Inhuman" came out, all of which achieved great results. Some people even commented that "Inhuman" is expected to compete with the Marvel hero movies, and some people commented that "Inhuman" is a phenomenon, and as the popularity gradually decreases, the achievements of these movies will be wiped out.
In any case, for now, the word "alien" no longer exists only in magazine jokes, but in the form of a screen. It feels like there's nothing to fuss about even if there is an "alien" around you.
It's a terrible feeling.
At least I read the look of horror and worry on the faces of my dad and uncle, and I guess they took "Inhuman" seriously.
Can't tell the difference between reality and virtuality?
The time was already 10:11 in the evening, and the uncle left after smoking two cigarettes, and we didn't hold back too much, and the uncle disappeared into the night with a heavy back.
The cool breeze blew this night, making it easy to fall asleep. When I woke up, it was 5:20, a little late, but it was still in time. I unhurriedly got dressed, brushed my teeth and washed my face, and when I was ready, I went out. My parents both work the morning shift, so there is no breakfast at home, and breakfast is only available at a stall on the road, which I am not worried about.
When you go out and turn left, there is a small stall selling breakfast, which serves breakfast to the residents of this place day after day, year after year, and I know the aunt who sells breakfast, and I am also a regular customer. We always talk a little bit when we buy breakfast.
"Yo, Jian Chu is going to school?"
"Well, good morning Aunt Zhao, I want a cup of soy milk, a fritters, and a popsicle. ”
"Okay, take it. Anyway, why do you always like to eat popsicles?"
"There was no way, the author started writing without thinking about the topic, which made me have to quietly bring in popsicles, as if advertisement. Thank you, Aunt Zhao, I put the money on it. ”
I took Aunt Zhao's fritters and found that the date on the paper wrapped in the fritters was a little strange, and it turned out to be today. It stands to reason that Aunt Zhao uses expired newspaper fritters, because those newspapers are basically not read, so they are sold cheaply, but the price of the newspapers of the day is different, slightly more expensive. I pay attention to these because I always read the newspaper after eating churros and read them as storybooks. I joked, "Yo, Aunt Zhao, I finally don't have to read expired newspapers?"
Aunt Zhao looked at the date I pointed to, and suddenly realized, patted her forehead and said, "Oh no, I'm afraid it was dropped by the person who came to buy breakfast before, and I cut it open and used it without looking at it, what should I do? I'm really an old and dizzy thing!"
"Forget it, Aunt Zhao, it's not your fault. And people didn't say it, which means he doesn't care. ”
I comforted Aunt Zhao out loud, in my heart Aunt Zhao is such a person, trembling, afraid of making mistakes, living at the bottom, not daring to climb high, and not daring to offend.
Waiting for the bus, I quickly finished my fritters, spread out the newspaper, and carefully looked at the grease-stained words on it. One of the reports caught my attention was the discovery of two female corpses on the shore of a small river near Jasmine Park, whose faces were disfigured by animal bites and disfigured, and the whole case was suspected to be a case of dog wounding. At the end of the article, the conclusion calls on the public to pay attention to safety when traveling at night, and also reminds the public to beware of stray cats and dogs to avoid being attacked.
The photo also includes full-body photos of the two corpses, except for the mosaic on their faces, and their clothes are still intact except for a little blood stains. I'm wondering what kind of animal can kill people instantly, and they only eat their faces, and tigers are not so picky eaters.
I looked at the back of the newspaper again, and it showed that Secretary So-and-so, accompanied by the township leaders, went to the township to inspect the village. The more I looked at it, the more bored I felt, and I made sure that there was nothing worth reading about the newspaper, so I threw it in the trash.
The bus also arrived at this time, and as soon as I got on the bus, I saw that the driver uncle actually had a popsicle in his mouth while driving, and smiled at me. I felt a chill run through my head and wondered what was going on?
I shook my head and was thinking about whether to get out of the car now when the car started. In desperation, I had no choice but to step into my favorite back seat and open the popsicle bag. Within a few minutes, the popsicle was finished. You can eat popsicles, and your brain is groggy, maybe it is due to lack of sleep.
My eyelids gradually closed, and even I didn't react, but my mind was still clear, and I thought to myself that there was still some time to close my eyes and recuperate. However, before I knew it, I fell asleep. Suddenly, there was a violent blow to the head, and the pain slowly cleared, and I woke up from my sleep. The moment my eyes opened, I saw a hazy red, until the surrounding appearance was completely clear, I realized that it was blood, my head was broken, the blood flowed, the whole back of my head was full of warm blood, I was on the side of my face, the pungent smell of blood came to my face.
At this time, I wanted to move but couldn't, and my whole body collapsed behind the bus. I was scared of my hands and feet, I never lost control of my body for a moment, and the fear of powerlessness filled my head. I cried out for help, begging for someone to help me, even if someone was standing next to me.
However, the bus fell from the bridge, and the grass underneath was overgrown and all kinds of dark ditches were densely packed. What usually looks pleasing to the eye has now become a natural barrier that prevents people on the bridge from descending. There are few cars passing in the suburbs, and in the early morning, there are even fewer vehicles. I knew very well that it would take more than ten minutes for the rescue team to arrive, and no one would come to save us.
The passengers in the same car as me were also injured to varying degrees, some moaning in pain, some screaming, and some sleeping forever. There was a woman who was completely twisted, her upper and lower bodies lying next to me, staring at me with two lifeless eyes.
My heart thumped, is she dead?
Die, the body twisted like this......
