I looked at the clear small village in front of me, the blue sky, the distant mountains, and the "rustling" sound of the wind blowing through the grass, and I actually felt that the sun was a little too harsh. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info I went back to Lao Chen's office, looking out through the window, the same white clouds floated peacefully under the sky, and the strange sky was nowhere to be found, as if it was just my temporary illusion. It made me feel like I was in a trance for a moment. My body was still basking in the atmosphere of sadness and despair, and my heart was roaring in my chest. But the beautiful scenery in front of me made all my emotions seem to be in the air, lose the atmosphere, and become groundless.

Everything went back to its original state as if nothing had happened. The power of time suddenly became crystal clear, and it was able to put away all the pain and confusion and restore them to peace. But as I witnessed it, I could no longer associate the small village outside my door with words like "calm, peaceful". Wangxing Village is like a huge graveyard, and with the powerful and ruthless accomplice of time, too much pain and truth are buried. I was determined to get to the bottom of it.

Wangxing Village, Wangxing Village. For thousands of years you have been in this valley, looking up at the stars in the sky day and day. What did you see ten years ago that made you so silent?

I felt a little tired, and I felt exhausted from the half-day experience of coming to Wangxing Village. So I decided to rest for a while, sat on the cement threshold of the small bungalow of the village government, wiped my hands with disinfectant, and then pulled out dry food and water. While eating, I looked through the medical records that I had taken out from Dr. Xing's small pharmacy.

The medical records are kept in a brown paper folder. It is said that it is a medical record, but it is actually a piece of paper with information such as time, patient, diagnosis of illness, and prescribed medicine. I think that in such a small village, there are only dozens of households in total, and all information management is extremely primitive.

I flipped through the medical records in this folder, and they were written with a blue pen, and they were written with a black pen. The handwriting is also quite different, some are quite neat, and some are so hurried that they are almost up to the sky, and it can be seen that they are medical records from different times. But so many medical records were put in the same folder, indicating that Dr. Xing must think that they are related. Perhaps he found out that it was an infectious disease with similar or the same symptoms, so he grouped them together. I even suspect that the "flu outbreak in our village" that the whole village is talking about may have been the first to be proposed by Dr. Xing. After all, as the only doctor in the village, he was the most likely to make this point.

I took out this thick stack of medical records and flipped through them one by one:

When: October 24, 2016. Patient's Name: Bai Endeavour. Age: 35 years old. Headache, body temperature 37 degrees, said he had chest tightness. Diagnosed with pre-cold symptoms. It is advisable to drink plenty of water and get plenty of rest. Open a bottle of vitamin C. ”

Date: October 29, 2016. Patient's Name: Hua Xiu'e. Age: 79 years old. Headache, body temperature 36.5, said he had chest tightness, and a rash. Diagnosed with pre-cold symptoms, plus dermatitis. Open a bottle of vitamin C and a bottle of parisone. ”

Date: November 3, 2016. Patient's Name: Li Tianhao. Age: 9 years old. Headache, body temperature 36.5. After being diagnosed with pre-cold symptoms, it is recommended to drink plenty of hot water, rest early, and eat plenty of fruits. ”

When: November 8, 2016. Patient's Name: Zhang Mingde. Age: 50. Headache, rash, nosebleeds. Body temperature 37.5, said chest tightness, and dizziness. Diagnosed with cold and dermatitis. Prescribe a box of antipyretic spirit, a pyresone, and ask to drink more water. ”

It seems that several villagers have experienced symptoms of headaches and chest tightness. I recognized Bai Fenjin, who was Bai Yuelu's mentally handicapped brother. Hua Xiu'e, I guess it may be the old lady Hua they talked about in the Bai family before. Two of them had symptoms of rashes, but I had no way of knowing if they were contagious or not, so I didn't know if they had anything to do with the epidemic. However, from the next few medical records, it seems that the villagers' conditions are clearly deteriorating.

Time: November 14, 2016, Patient Name: Li Tianhao, Age: 9 years old. Body temperature 38 degrees. Headache, chest tightness, bleeding spots on the arms. Accompanied by vomiting. After being diagnosed with influenza, it was recommended to go to the town hospital for treatment. Prescribe a box of antipyretics. ”

"November 15, 2016, patient's name: Bai Endeavour, age: 35. Body temperature 38 degrees. Headache, chest tightness, bleeding spots on the palms and arms, bright light in front of the eyes, blurred vision. After being diagnosed with influenza, it was recommended to go to the town hospital for treatment. Prescribe a box of antipyretics. ”

"November 16, 2016, patient's name..."

The thick stack of medical records made my heart sink when I saw it. The condition of the villagers has developed from ordinary headaches and chest tightness to nosebleeds, skin bleeding spots, fever, blurred vision and other symptoms. Basic common sense tells me that this is definitely not the flu, and Dr. Xing, who is a doctor, should have noticed it, and I can see that some medical records have pencils written on the edge along the edge that are similar to "hemorrhagic fever?" "Purpura?" and so on. It seems that he is also wondering what kind of illness this is.

I suddenly remembered a piece of communication between Cen Xiao and Bai Yuelu that I had inadvertently received before. I also remember that Bai Yuelu seemed to have said that she had counted at least four villagers who had symptoms of headaches and bleeding. And Cen Xiao's answer, thinking about it now, makes me feel like my hairs stand on end. I remember Cen Xiao saying that "it" was not malicious, it was just trying to make a connection. And those symptoms are side effects of exposure.

"It's an extraterrestrial matter, and we haven't even figured out what it's coming from billions of light-years away," she said. I'm also not sure if humans can withstand this kind of contact. ”

Could it be that all these symptoms are due to the contact of an alien substance? Huge invisible monsters roamed past the small village in front of me, past the children playing and playing, silently passing by every normal human being, trying to understand them, observing the planet we inhabit with curiosity. But its touch is highly poisonous, making people die slowly and painfully, turning into light and disappearing.

When you walk, do you care about the life or death of an ant?

I remembered a science fiction book I read when I was a kid, where aliens first came to this mysterious blue planet, and they were so excited that they accidentally trampled to death a nest of tiny creatures running around. And so human civilization was destroyed.

We are always afraid of people with malicious intentions, but they are only a small part of society, we have the law, we have fists to protect ourselves. Even if none of these were there, when they came with knives in distinct colors, at least we could choose to escape. But what about this unmalicious harm? Can we dodge? Or will it only when it corrodes our bodies and turns us into a cloud of light that we will regret it, but we will be powerless to disarm and surrender?

At this moment, a message from headquarters put me in an even bigger predicament.
