Chapter 1: A Strange Solar Eclipse

"Click! Click! Boom! ”

Wang Xu, who was sitting in front of the computer playing "Total War of the Three Kingdoms", suddenly heard a rush of opening the door. But he didn't pay any attention, his eyes still staring straight at the computer screen, his mouse in his hand and making quick clicks.

This was followed by "Da! Da! With two loud noises of high heels being thrown to the ground, Wang Xu's girlfriend Xu Wenya rushed into the bedroom in a hurry.

Without any stop, he pounced on Wang Xu and took his hand excitedly: "Husband, have you read the news report?" There will be a solar eclipse tomorrow! ”

It's a pity that at this moment, Wang Xu is operating Guan Yu, the general of his own forces, to fight with the two teams of full-fledged troops led by Xu Huang, Yu Ban and others under Cao Cao's tent in the battle scene, where can I hear what she is saying.

When his hand was pulled like this, he was suddenly startled. was so nervous that he shouted loudly: "Wife, don't hold my hand!" Guan Yu was surrounded by Qingzhou soldiers and was going to die! Guan Yu is going to die! Let it go......"

As he spoke, Wang Xu broke free of Wen Ya, quickly grabbed the mouse, and ran away to an open place with Guan Yu's personal guards.

Seeing that Wang Xu had been staring at the computer and hadn't listened to what she said at all, Xu Wenya couldn't help but scold: "I know how to play your game, forget it, I'm too lazy to talk to you." I think you'll marry a computer in the future! ”

After speaking, he turned around with anger and went to the living room to watch TV.

When Wang Xu commanded the Zhuge crossbowmen and the white-eared spearmen under Guan Yu's tent to defeat Ban and Xu Huang's troops, he breathed a long sigh of relief. Another famous victory, haha!

But in an instant, I thought of what had just happened, and I suddenly sighed, saved a file and hurriedly quit the game.

When I came to the living room, I saw Xu Wenya sitting on the sofa watching TV sullenly. Wang Xu hurriedly walked over and took him into his arms affectionately, and cheekily coaxed: "Wife, don't be angry!" It really hit the critical moment just now. Cao Cao's soldiers are many and strong, and I have only a few soldiers, and if I don't pay attention to it, I will be defeated, so I am in a hurry to speak! ”

But Xu Wenya was unmoved, but sneered unceremoniously: "What if you lose, isn't it just a game?" What's the big deal, I think you can only fantasize about it in the game, to satisfy the daydream of conquering the Three Kingdoms. It's been thousands of years, and you're still so excited to play a replica single-player game, is it interesting? After speaking, he tilted his head and didn't even look at Wang Xu.

"Wife! You also know that I was born at the wrong time, so I can only rely on the game to comfort my empty heart a little! Actually, I don't know why, anyway, when I see those familiar names, I always can't control myself. Seeing that Xu Wenya was still angry, Wang Xu couldn't help but pretend to be pitiful.

After speaking, he hugged Xu Wenya, who was turning her head and sulking, from behind. He shook it vigorously and said softly, "Okay! Don't be angry, didn't you have something to tell me just now? Something big seems to have happened? ”

Xu Wenya was used to Wang Xu's habit after all, and she glanced at him before sighing helplessly.

He didn't delve into it anymore, and went down the stairs and said, "It's a solar eclipse!" There's a solar eclipse tomorrow morning! ”

"What do I think? There are often solar eclipses all over the world, so what's all the fuss about planetary activity! ”

"Not really! Stupid, if it's a normal situation, do you still need to say it? Xu Wenya shook off Wang Xu's hand with all her might, and turned her head with a slightly excited face, as if she had thrown what she had just done out of the clouds.

"But this is a once-in-500-year total solar eclipse! And we're one of the best places to see it. ”

"Huh? A total solar eclipse that occurs once in 500 years? Wang Xu looked at Xu Wenya in surprise, but then asked suspiciously, "You won't lie to me, right?" ”

It's no wonder that Wang Xu doesn't believe it, after all, although solar eclipses often occur, they are often invisible. Of course, a total solar eclipse like this once in 500 years is even rarer, and it is already a chance to encounter it, not to mention that you are still at the best observation point. Such good luck, Wang Xu never expected.

"What did I lie to you, it's true! It seems that it will be between 8 and 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and I can't tell you exactly what time it will be. If you don't believe that you can watch the news on your own and only care about playing games, how can you possibly know these things? After speaking, Xu Wenya glared at Wang Xu dissatisfied.

Seeing Xu Wenya so sure, Wang Xu was also a little excited: "Haha! I didn't think I still had this blessing, so I have to take a good look at it tomorrow. A total solar eclipse once in 500 years, tsk! It's not easy! ”

As he spoke, Wang Xu excitedly took out his mobile phone from his pants pocket: "I'm going to call my father and mother to talk about this." People may only have such an opportunity in this life, and it would be a pity if you missed it! ”

"Yes! yes, I almost forgot, I'm going to fight too! As she spoke, Xu Wenya quickly picked up the mobile phone that she threw on the sofa.

When the two contacted the family, they learned that the family had already known about it from the news in the past few days, and it was much more detailed than they knew.

After hanging up the phone, Wang Xu borelessly accompanied Xu Wenya to watch the "soap opera" for a while, chatted casually and helped to make dinner!

Under normal circumstances, Wang Xu would not cook in person. But who made him angry with Xu Wenya again today? That's why I showed my cooking skills, mainly for the sake of a better life in the future.

Because Wang Xu later showed a good appearance, Xu Wenya was in a good mood, and after the meal, she offered to accompany Wang Xu to watch a few episodes of the old version of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" on the computer, which is a rare thing!

But the two of them went to bed early, after all, they were looking forward to the total solar eclipse that would occur once in 500 years the next morning......

Early in the morning, Wang Xu and Xu Wenya rarely got up to wash without a trace of procrastination. After casually making some breakfast and wrapping his stomach, he came to the street wearing two pairs of eclipse observation glasses that Xu Wenya had bought yesterday. Because the two were worried that watching at home, their view would be blocked by other houses around them.

But in the blink of an eye, he had been wandering for more than an hour, but there was no sign in the sky. Xu Wenya was also a little worried after looking up at the sun still hanging high in the sky a few times: "It's almost nine o'clock now, why hasn't there been a solar eclipse yet?" It's not like we can't see it here! ”

"Probably not!" Touching out his mobile phone and looking at the time, Wang Xu couldn't help frowning and said: "Last night's news did say that we are one of the best observation points for the solar eclipse here, and the weather is also good today, so we should be able to see it, wait and see!" In fact, Wang Xu himself was also a little worried, afraid that he had been looking forward to it for a long time, but he was happy in vain.

But as soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xu felt that the light around him seemed to be darkened. At first, he was a little puzzled, and looked at the crowd around him strangely. But then he reacted and quickly pulled Xu Wenya's hand: "Look, wife, the surroundings are getting dark." ”

"Huh? yes, it seems to be a little darker. After Xu Wenya heard Wang Xu's words, she observed it and became excited.

The two looked at each other excitedly, and then looked up at the sun in the east.

At this moment, the sun is no longer dazzling, it feels like the moon, and it seems to be obscured by thick dark clouds, looming, losing its former brilliance.

And as time passed, the light around became darker and darker, and the sun unconsciously lacked a small arc.

At the moment when the two of them discovered this scene, countless pedestrians around them who were also waiting for the solar eclipse also saw it, and the dense crowd suddenly let out an exclamation in unison.

Immediately afterwards, the shops on both sides of the street gradually turned on the electric lights, and the number of people on the street increased rapidly, and the entire street was filled in a moment. There are still a lot of policemen who have come out of nowhere to maintain order in the crowd.

At this moment, everyone was excitedly looking up at the sun in the sky that was slowly swallowed by darkness, and countless children and young people were shouting and coaxing! Mature people are also talking.

Wang Xu and Xu Wenya held hands with each other, quietly watching the changes in the sky, and their hearts were also shocked by this wonder of nature!

Gradually, the sun darkened more and more. It didn't take long to feel like there was only a small arc left.

Wang Xu glanced down at Xu Wenya, thought about it, and couldn't help hugging her into his arms. Because he was suddenly a little worried that after it was completely dark, the two of them would be separated by the crowd.

After another moment, the sun finally disappeared from everyone's sight completely, and the sky and the earth fell into darkness.

Because the neon signs on the street are not on, the lights of the shops lining the street alone cannot illuminate the earth. Fortunately, many people in the crowd soon brought out tools such as flashlights and lighters for lighting.

Seeing this scene, Wang Xu couldn't help laughing: "Hehe! These people are so well prepared, they even brought out flashlights. ”

Xu Wenya smiled slightly, but said with some sighs: "Yes! In fact, we should also bring a flashlight out, but I didn't expect the solar eclipse to be darker than the night! ”

"Of course, that's why the sun is important! If there was no sun, I don't know what the world would become! ”

Because there was no eclipse to see at this time, there was nothing in the sky except a deep darkness, so the two of them chatted with each other.

But after a long time, the sky never lit up......

"I wonder how long it will be dark?" Wang Xu couldn't help but look up at the dark sky again, and whispered with a little doubt.

"I guess it's going to be soon!" Having said that, Xu Wenya's tone was obviously a little hesitant.

Hearing this, Wang Xu was about to withdraw his gaze, but he was suddenly stunned......

Because a round sphere with a hazy brilliance suddenly appeared in his sight, and it was the position where the sun disappeared just now, Wang Xu's first reaction was that the sun came out.

I was about to scream, but I immediately felt that something was wrong. "Wenya, do you see the hazy sun in the sky?"

"See! The sun is out! What's wrong? ”

Wang Xu originally thought that he was dazzled, but after hearing Xu Wenya's affirmative answer, he suddenly felt a little creepy, and a cool breath quickly rose from his back, and goosebumps appeared all over his body.

glanced at the ball in the air again, swallowed his saliva unconsciously, and looked at Xu Wenya in disbelief: "But after the solar eclipse, it seems that the sun should appear slowly, it shouldn't suddenly appear in the sky!" But this sphere seems to be ......"

Before she finished speaking, Xu Wenya's body trembled suddenly, and she suddenly woke up. "That's right! How did this sun appear in an instant? Since we can see the whole process of the eclipse, we should also ...... when the sun comes out."

But Xu Wenya couldn't say any more, and glanced at Wang Xu in horror, both of them saw fear in the other party's gaze. The instinctive reaction is to immediately look at the crowd around you......

But then the two fell into a state of stupor......

"Ah......" Three seconds later, Xu Wenya let out a deafening scream, and the whole person then threw himself into Wang Xu's arms.

However, Wang Xu was not much better, although he did not call out, he was also scared half to death. Covered in cold sweat, he hugged Xu Wenya tightly with both hands.

Because, with the hazy brilliance of the ball, the two saw an extremely strange scene!

The whole space was completely still, yes, very abruptly still! Some people carry one foot but fail to step on it. Some people keep running posture. Some people keep smiling during conversations......

But they were all frozen in that moment, like a three-dimensional photograph, and everything that could move seemed to be turned into a sculpture.

Wang Xu felt that his heartbeat speed had reached an unprecedented level at the moment, but he didn't dare to move.

Now that the situation is clearly out of control, who knows what will happen when you run around? And the horror movies he had watched also appeared in his mind, and under this pressure, he felt almost suffocated!

Xu Wenya was even more strict, and the whole person shrank in Wang Xu's arms and trembled. His eyes were closed, he didn't dare to look around, and tears flowed out.

But the only thing Wang Xu could do at the moment was to hug her hard and try to give her as much comfort as possible. After all, he is a man, and although he is also afraid to death, he must protect his woman.

After taking a few deep breaths, Wang Xu finally forced himself to calm down temporarily and vigilantly observe his surroundings after constantly hinting and struggling with thoughts.

When he was sure that there was no danger for the time being, except that time and space were completely still. Finally, he mustered up the courage to set his eyes on the round sphere in the sky that radiated a hazy glow.

This qiē must have something to do with this eclipse, and although he didn't know exactly what would happen, he could only try his best to find clues for now.

After carefully observing for a while, Wang Xu's pupils shrank suddenly!

Because he suddenly found that the sphere that exuded a hazy brilliance had been shrinking and expanding, and the amplitude was getting bigger and bigger!

Before he could figure out what the situation was, a ray of light flew out of the ball. And it was obviously coming to the planet where Wang Xu was. The speed of that light was very fast, and it seemed to be close in the blink of an eye.

And what frightened Wang Xu even more was that the target of that ray of light turned out to be him?

Wang Xu couldn't tell why, it was just an intuition, he could feel that the light was flying towards him.

But what if you feel it? How can a human reaction be compared to the speed of light?

The moment he reacted, he only had time to subconsciously push Xu Wenya to the side......

It's a pity that the beam of light is too fast, and Xu Wenya's body has just taken off and has been enveloped by the beam.

Xu Wenya, who was originally tightly in Wang Xu's arms, felt that she was pushed out, and her eyes widened in shock at first, but then she found this light.

I struggled in horror, but found that I couldn't make a single movement at all. What's even more weird is that he is obviously screaming non-stop, but he can only feel his mouth moving, and he can't hear his own voice at all. After struggling for a long time, Xu Wenya finally smiled bitterly and slowly gave up......

After calming down, she also figured out why Wang Xu pushed her just now. His eyes full of sadness couldn't help but look at the grief-stricken Wang Xu affectionately, as if he wanted to imprint the appearance of the other party into his soul forever and turn it into an eternal memory......

After a long time, she slowly opened her mouth and expressed the last three words she wanted to say with her mouth. "I ...... Love...... You! ”

Gradually, Xu Wenya closed her eyes in despair, and the whole person was lying in the beam of light, only a little teardrop gradually dripped from her delicate cheeks, crystal clear......

And Wang Xu, who was also shrouded in a beam of light, was even more painful when he saw this qiē, and his whole face was already distorted.

He was so angry that he wanted to move his body, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not break free from the strange restraints, not even a finger.

No matter how much force you try, no matter how much force you use, it doesn't make any sense. He can't even express his last feelings, he can't even give his beloved woman one last hug, and he can't do the last word!

He cried! Wang Xu rarely cried, this was the worst crying in his life, but the movement was also the smallest.

Only two lines of hot tears gushed out, only a pained face, and only the mouth silently calling the name of the lover!

Slowly, Wang Xu felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and although he had tried his best to resist this feeling of fatigue, he was completely defeated after only holding on for a moment!

At the last moment when he couldn't help but close his eyes, I don't know if it was a burst of potential before death, or if it was the connivance of that force. Wang Xu's hand, which had not stopped struggling, suddenly lost its restraint, and he went around and hit himself because of the excessive force.

The pain caused by the blow to his body made Wang Xu tremble, and he regained a trace of his wisdom in this instant. With this last lucidity, he didn't hesitate for a moment, grabbed Xu Wenya, who was lying in the air, and used all his strength to hold it tightly......

It was also the last action he made!

The last wish had been fulfilled, Wang Xu could no longer resist the fatigue, his eyes were so soft that he glanced at Xu Wenya for the last time, and slowly closed his eyes that were flashing with tears......

Before he completely lost consciousness, Wang Xu entered a strange state of half-dreaming and half-wake. I vaguely felt an ethereal voice in my head: The catastrophe is coming, the son is walking, and it has changed for thousands of years. The world is in turmoil, the road is also hidden, and the danger is all in your hands!
