Chapter 2: Mutations

"What's that?" Many people spotted the huge black sphere at the same time. A terrifying darkness hung over the night sky, instantly swallowing the light of the entire city. It seemed to be an incomparable existence, exuding a gloomy and cold aura, as if the mythical eighteen layers of hell had replaced the heavenly court and became the ruler of this world.

When hell reigns on earth, the world becomes hell.

"Uncle, can you hear me?" Dust shouted down, "Uncle, we're trapped on it, what should we do?" After all, he was just a high school student, and he hadn't seen any strong winds and waves, so he was a child who grew up in a greenhouse. In the face of such an unexpected situation, he was also frightened to the point that he was a little dispossessed.

There was silence below, and no one responded. "Aren't you going to run away?" Dust whispered. Seeing that Xue was also a little overwhelmed by the fright, the machismo in his heart suddenly filled his heart. He had to protect her, how could he be afraid?

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. Although there was still a bit of timidity hidden in Chen's calm tone, it still made Xue feel a sense of security.

"Hmm. Snow replied softly. Then he grabbed the sleeve of Chen's coat.

So what should I do now? Dust watched as the huge black ball in the sky enveloped the entire city, and he was trapped on the Ferris wheel again. Cell phone...... That's right, mobile!

Chen hurriedly turned on his mobile phone, and the bright screen made the two feel a little relieved. However, "Damn, how can there be no signal!" Dust didn't know what was going on, the whole city was powered off, there was no signal at all, and there was nothing around them, making them feel as if they were on an island in the middle of the vast sea, as if the fish had been slapped ashore by the waves, fear, unknown.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here. "Dust clutches the snow in his arms. Then the screen dimmed. Dust hurriedly turned on the screen again and adjusted the brightness to the minimum. His phone doesn't have much battery and has to be used sparingly to last longer.

The two relied on the faint light of their mobile phones to hold up the light in front of them. Only light can make them feel more at ease.

Suddenly, the huge black ball in front of him began to operate in a very strange way, I don't know if it was his own illusion, it seemed to shoot out a lot of tiny gray needles from its body, it was not obvious in the dark, but it was like rain. The gray needle seems to have a spirit of its own, not falling straight like a raindrop, but wriggling in the air, like a caterpillar. They were moving at high speed, and soon scattered in all corners and disappeared.

"What, what?" dust rubbed his eyes, afraid he was mistaken. What the hell is that tiny gray needle? Dust looked vigilantly into the sky to prevent these gray needles from finding them. Fortunately, no. Dust breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't know what these gray needles were, but in his subjective consciousness, there wouldn't be anything good coming out of that black ball.

"Snow, did you just see what it was?"

Snow shook her head, "I didn't see anything. What is it?"

"I don't know. Dust said with some solemnity. "But I felt something was wrong. ”

At this moment, there was a sudden roar from under the Ferris wheel. Dust and Snow looked down and saw a pair of dark green eyes, so bright in the dark. The eyes were staring at them.

"What is this?" Snow hurriedly put her head back, and with a frightened face, she hid in Chen's arms again, not daring to shake it for a moment. Suddenly, the eyes began to move rapidly, and Dust saw that the eyes were coming in their direction, and the Ferris wheel suddenly shook slightly—the owner of the dark green eyes was climbing the top of the Ferris wheel at this time, and its target was these two humans!

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here. Dusty hands trembled as he stroked her long black hair. At this point, he shouldn't panic, he needs to calm down, at least to get through the current difficulties.

"Hold your phone and light it up. Dust handed the phone to Snow, who turned up the light of the phone to the maximum and shone on Dust. The dazzling light reassures Dust.

The terrifying eyes quickly climbed up the pole of the Ferris wheel, and the dust could feel it, making the creature instinctively afraid. The adrenaline was racing wildly at this time, and his face was so nervous that several drops of sweat were dripping from it, and he was holding the snow in his arms, and he had said that he would protect the girl she would live her life with. Chen's eyes turned firm, suppressed the fear in his heart, and easily opened the girl in his arms, "I'll go and solve it." ”

"But, Dust......" Snow still refused to let go of Dust's hand, her bright eyes full of worry, "Be careful." Then he let go of the hand held by the two and stared at him for a moment, for fear that something would go wrong with Chen.

Dust held out his index finger and placed it on his lips, telling Snow not to make a sound. He then clenched his left fist and made a fist swing, ready to punch the monster as it climbed up.

The vague roar grew clear and audible, louder and louder. Although Dust and Snow were scared now, they were staring intently at the darkness in front of them at the moment, and those dark green, terrifying eyes were getting closer and closer to them.

"Ah~ah~......" The voice was close, Chen clenched his fist in his hand, and his teeth bit his lip unconsciously.

Whatever it is, a monster crawling out of hell, I'm going to beat it back to hell!

The dark green-eyed monster had crawled to the box that was only one of their positions away at this moment, and through the light, they could now see the monster's appearance clearly - no matter how terrifying those eyes were, which made them feel extremely frightened, the two of them still recognized that it was the previous uncle, the staff who allowed them to go to the skyscraper *** console for the last time.

"How so?" Snow covered her mouth with her hand, incredulous. At this moment, the uncle is no longer as amiable as before, showing a smile, a faint smile. That's a human smile.

Although he was still smiling now, he just opened his bloody mouth wide, showed a strange and cruel smile, and stared at a pair of dark green eyes that made them fearful, making the two of them feel that he was really hateful.

But the monster didn't give them time to think, its hands were already reaching out with long claws, piercing five holes in the iron sheet underneath. Dust's pupils couldn't help but widen, and he knew that if he wanted to live, he couldn't let its claws touch him.

The monster roared a few times into the sky, then lunged in the direction of the two men. Although it was almost dark in front of him, Dust could still see the sharp fangs, dark green eyes, a bloody mouth, and skin that was close to festering. He knew that the uncle was no longer human.

He clenched the fist in his left hand, condensing all the strength in his body. Time was short, but the monster moved fast. In a flash of lightning, the monster pounced and came to Chen. Ha, maybe I've never done anything so crazy in my life. Dust thought self-deprecatingly.

He didn't know what the world had become, he just knew that at this moment, he had to protect her, that girl, and now it was all he had.

He clenched his fist, gathered his strength, focused all his attention on it, and swung it out so hard that it slammed into his stomach. He was able to assure him that it was the strongest punch he had ever come out of. "Roaring ......" only heard the monster howl, and in a blink of an eye, it fell to a piece of void darkness underneath, and soon there was no shadow. That fear faded.

"Whew...... Call...... Huh...... "Dust was gasping for breath at this time, and he couldn't speak. The punch seemed to have exhausted all his strength and was close to collapse. His left hand was a burning pain, like it had hit a steel plate. Luckily, though, the monster was driven away.

Dust sneered a few times, then fell to the floor, and continued to gasp for air.

"Dust, how are you?" Snow threw her phone aside, grabbed Dust in a panic, and slapped him on the back with her hand, "Are you okay?"

Dust waved her hand, motioning for her to give herself some rest before she could speak. Snow looked at him worriedly.

The world outside the Ferris wheel was still dark, and the huge black sphere still hung over the city.

What the hell is this? Chen thought of the countless tiny gray needles that he had seen before, and couldn't help but associate this with his uncle's mutation.

Could it be because of the gray needle?Dust thought of this possibility with concern. After all, the previous uncle was so amiable and could joke with them. He thought of so many of those tiny gray needles, of so many people living in this city......

Chenliang was very anxious, but it was useless to be anxious, they were now trapped on this Ferris wheel, and even the monster they had just knocked down did not know if they were dead. And their parents, will they survive this night?

Dust decides not to tell Snow about these heavy topics, for fear that she will worry, but worrying is completely useless. She was already scared, how could she feel even more scared?

"Snow. Dust slowly stood up, making Xue worry about him again. "Dust, are you okay, are you hurt?" "It's okay, it's just a little out of strength. It just scared the hell out of me. Dusty smiled, "Fortunately, I didn't disgrace my life." ”

Snow threw herself into Dust's arms, buried her head in his chest, hugged him tightly, and said nothing.

Dust was stunned, then smiled, and hugged Xue tightly with his backhand. To be honest, this is the first time that such a heavy hug has been held together for so long. He enjoyed the hug with the snow, and at this moment, he was here, in the darkness around him, in the faint light of the mobile phone in the Ferris wheel box, she and himself hugged each other, feeling each other's breath and presence.

It's good to be alive. The two of them couldn't help but feel the beauty of life in their hearts.

No matter what, you have to live! The two tacitly made a promise in each other's hearts, but no one told them. But each other's bright eyes revealed all this, simple, and unhidden.

Suddenly, the light of the mobile phone screen dimmed, and the last pure land of light was also invaded by the darkness instantly.

There is no power, the screen is black.
