Chapter 3: The world is changing
Zhao Fei often came to Chu Xiaodao's house to play when he was a child, and he was familiar with the layout of the room, but now Chu Xiaodao's house has obviously been rebuilt, especially the windows, all of which are blocked, the house is very dark, the heavy solid wood door is closed, and the three heavy door bolts made of steel bars are horizontal, and even flies can't fly in.
Zhao Fei faced this abnormal everything, and his heart was furious: "Why don't you turn on the lights?"
Jing Wenting said: "There is another power outage in the afternoon, let's light the oil lamp." ”
Zhao Fei was shocked, although Zhaojiagou is a rural area, but it is not far from the city, when he was in middle school, the power outage was already very strange to Zhaojiagou, only under the attack of the summer storm, only occasionally there was a power outage, and the oil lamp only existed in the memory of childhood.
What has happened in the past ten years, and how can there be a feeling of getting more and more backward?
When Zhao Fei was surprised, Chu Xiaodao used a lighter to light the oil lamp hanging on the wall, and it seemed that he often used this thing.
The dancing flames, enchanting and colorful, under the orange-red light, the shadows of several people were stretched long, like monsters with teeth and claws, and they would pounce on their masters at any time.
Jing Wenting took Zhao Xingwu into the house to take medicine.
When the child is older, there is a difference between men and women, and although the two men are worried, it is impossible to follow.
Zhao Fei also went with Chu Xiaodao to change his clothes, and then the two stayed in the living room, staring at each other with big eyes.
"Mouse, do you really have amnesia?" Although Chu Xiaodao looked arrogant, there was still a trace of worry in his eyebrows.
"Yes. Zhao Fei was in a solemn mood, no jokes, and told Chu Xiaodao everything he saw when he woke up.
Chu Xiaodao sat on the bench, stroking the knife lying horizontally on his leg, and the wound on his face was even more hideous and ugly under the candlelight: "Zhao Guohong's turtle son has touched my bottom line." ”
The Zhao Guohong that Chu Xiaodao said, Zhao Fei also knew him before, and he was more than ten years older than him...... Of course, if you are now, you should be twenty or thirty years older.
Zhao Guohong has been a gangster since he was a child, although he will not be bullied to Zhao Fei, but many children in Zhao Jiagou have been bullied by him.
Zhao Fei asked casually, "What's wrong with him?"
Chu Xiaodao's eyes narrowed, staring at Zhao Fei.
Isn't this kid amnesia? I don't even remember Lao Tzu, do you remember this turtle son?
Zhao Fei knew that he had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly explained: "As soon as you say this name, I have a little impression that I don't seem to be a good person." ”
"Isn't he a good person?" Chu Xiaodao smiled a little weirdly: "He is the protector of our Zhao Jiagou, you say he is not a good person?"
"Protector?"
Zhao Fei knocked on the side, and gradually understood the changes that have happened over the years.
It is said that sixteen years ago, Zhao Fei was electrocuted into a piece of coke and died on the spot.
Chu Xiaodao, as a small hair, naturally went to the funeral, and met Chu Hao's mother and Jingwenting's friend Liu Jie at the banquet, and the two got married and gave birth to Chu Hao.
This news really made Zhao Fei breathe a sigh of relief, if it was the same as he guessed, it was really impossible to live.
It was also since Zhao Fei's death that there were frequent incidents of beasts hurting people around the world.
In the beginning, people basically only saw relevant events in the news, and people didn't pay attention to them.
But slowly, the beasts hurt people more and more, and the news stopped reporting, but the conversation after tea and dinner in the past really appeared in front of people's eyes.
Someone slept soundly at night and was bitten off by the family dog.
Someone was walking down the street and was suddenly choked into knots by the rhizomes of a street tree.
Some people enjoy the cool in the summer, and they are chased and sucked dry by dozens of fist-sized mosquitoes.
People say it's nature's revenge and that the end of the world is coming.
The entire human society was instantly enveloped in panic.
Extremists have flouted the law, burned, killed, looted, raped and plundered, and committed all kinds of evil, plundering the whole world.
After all, even basic life safety is not guaranteed, who will live in peace?
Five years after Zhao Fei's death, the world was completely chaotic.
The government has launched a clean-up operation more than once, but those monsters are evolved from animals and plants, how can they be killed cleanly?
If humans want to live, they can't do without animals and plants, and it is impossible to exterminate everything, but if they don't exterminate everything, they may be swallowed alive by ants, earthworms, rats, etc., which suddenly turn into monsters!
Natural and man-made disasters broke out, this is an unsolvable situation, and no one can come out.
Six years after Zhao Fei's death, the moon turned purple, causing a rebellion of ten thousand demons and the first large-scale beast tide.
As if God had given an order, the monsters in the deep mountains and old forests flocked to the city at the same time. They eat when they see people, and everywhere they pass are covered with bones and flesh. What's even more cruel is that after they are full, they will tease people like cat and mouse, and torture you to death.
At that time, the streets were red, the internal organs of the corpses were everywhere, and the sewers were full of blood.
The beast tide lasted for half a year, the world's population plummeted by one-fifth, and more than 200 million people died in China alone.
Just when the survivors didn't have the courage to live, God finally opened their eyes.
Nine statues of goddesses descend from the sky and are distributed across the globe.
The statue of the goddess is 10,000 square kilometers in circumference, ten thousand demons retreat, and all evils do not invade!
In order to compete for the ownership of the statue of the goddess, countries broke out into large-scale wars, and even used nuclear weapons, and the earth was overwhelmed.
People realize that war is more terrible than the demon disaster, and if it continues to fight, I am afraid that if it continues to be fought without the help of the monsters, the human race will be destroyed by their own hands.
So the countries took the initiative to sue for peace, and after a series of consultations, signed many international conventions, and decided to unite all mankind to resist the monsters together.
One of the statues in Antarctica, known as Athena, is a place that is isolated from the world and unsuitable for human life, and has been built into a world-class scientific research base that gathers the best scientists of mankind.
Countries jointly fund the Athena scientific research base, and the scientists involved in the research do not have to care about anything, enjoy the highest treatment and the highest priority protection, and the only task is to study demons and monsters and find a way out for mankind.
Chu Xiaodao took out a plate of purple mosquito coils from the drawer, lit it and raised his hand: "This demon incense is one of the research results of the Athena Scientific Research Base. ”
The demon incense has a certain exorcism effect, order a plate in the house before going to bed, even if the monster finds someone in the house, it will not easily break in, unless you are really hungry and can't find better food.
However, in the outdoor ventilation, the demon incense does not have much effect, probably because in the open environment, the concentration of the incense mist is not enough.
Don't look at this thing, it's not good-looking, the price is not low, at least half of the income of ordinary families is spent on this, but you still have to use it, who knows if there will be a monster visit after falling asleep.
In just sixteen years, the world has become like this.
Zhao Fei was like listening to a book from heaven, and the whole person was stupid.
Monsters are rampant, wars are raging, and bandits are in charge.
No wonder those three gangsters were unscrupulous, no wonder Zhao Xingwu was so strong, and no wonder Chu Xiaodao became so strong, and he was still carrying such a big controlled knife.
It is definitely a miracle that the two women, Jing Wenting and Zhao Xingwu, can survive to this day in such a chaotic environment.
Zhao Fei blamed himself very much in his heart, feeling that he couldn't take care of his wife and daughter: "I'm sorry for them." ”
"Huh?"
"Oh, it's fine. Zhao Fei smiled bitterly and suddenly asked, "Where are my parents?"
"Isn't Lao Tzu here?" Chu Xiaodao rolled his eyes, then his tone was weak, and he smiled bitterly: "As for your mother...... One day I went out and never came back. ”
The dead were the greatest, Zhao Fei did not argue, and silently let Chu Xiaodao take advantage of it.
"Ahem, that ...... What's going on at Aunt Ting's house?" Zhao Fei finally asked, clenching his fists nervously, like a prisoner waiting for trial.
Are my parents still around?
Chu Xiaodao's wife is also dead, did this turtle son take advantage of Lao Tzu's absence to cuckold Lao Tzu?
The more Zhao Fei thought about it, the more panicked he became, and looked directly at Chu Xiaodao.
"Except for you Aunt Pavilion and Star Dance, their family is dead. Chu Xiaodao said very easily, as if death was as simple as eating and drinking: "Your Uncle Zhao was originally my brother, he died the funniest, and before the monster came, he was killed by thunder, hahaha." ”
If it was usual, Zhao Fei would definitely be scolded back if he was ridiculed like this.
But when I heard that my parents, father-in-law and father-in-law were all dead, the whole person was a little sluggish.
"How did they die?" Zhao Fei just heard about the thrilling changes in this world, he seemed to be a little numb, or he didn't react, he didn't cry, but his pupils were dilated and he looked at the corner of the wall without focus.
Chu Xiaodao felt that after his son lost his memory, he was particularly concerned about Zhao Xingwu's family, but the relationship between the two families had been good over the years, and they had lived together, so he didn't think much about it.
His mood became a little heavy, and he took a deep breath and said: "When the purple moon descends and the beast tide breaks out, everyone runs out of the city, and their family is no exception...... Well, what's wrong with you?"
"It's fine. When Zhao Fei heard this, tears kept falling, his elbows were on the table, his hands were supporting his forehead, covering his face, and he choked up: "What happened later?"
"They ran back to Zhaojiagou from the city, after all, there is a house here, so they won't sleep in the wild, and then they met me. ”
"Then are you married to Aunt Ting now?"
"Smack!"
Chu Xiaodao's rough big hand suddenly flew over and slapped Zhao Fei's face firmly: "Nonsense! Am I this kind of person? Your Uncle Zhao is my good brother from childhood to adulthood!"
Zhao Fei was slapped in the face, but he was so moved, holding his face that was red from being beaten, and said with tears in his eyes: "It's really worth it to have your brother!"
Chu Xiaodao sat upright, was silent for a while, looked at the bedroom carefully, and lowered his voice: "Your Aunt Ting is beautiful and has a good person, I still have some ideas, but it's a pity that she doesn't accept it." You're going to have to help me, you know?"
Zhao Fei gritted his teeth: "You are really a beast, and your sister-in-law will not let it go!"
"Smack!" Chu Xiaodao slapped again, glared and said, "Turtle son can't speak, he wants to turn the sky upside down, right?"
Zhao Fei was slapped twice in a row, so angry that he couldn't speak clearly: "I, I...... I'm fighting with you!"
The two began to fight again, Zhao Fei definitely couldn't beat it, and in the end he could only admit it: "It hurts, it hurts, the gentleman doesn't move!"
"Do you know who Lao Tzu is?"
"Know a hammer!"
"Heh, I'm quite temperamental when I have amnesia. ”
"Wow, don't, it really hurts! Chu Xiaodao, you turtle son, you will regret it in the future!"
“......”
The two quarreled for a while, and Zhao Fei finally confessed completely.
People are under the eaves and have to bow their heads.
But it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
Chu Xiaodao, you wait for Lao Tzu!
Zhao Fei rubbed his shoulders and asked resentfully, "Then what's the matter with Zhao Guohong?"
"That guy has been able to fight since he was a child, and now he can fight even more, and it's okay to clean up some little demons. In this environment, our people in Zhaojiagou have to rely on him. When Wen Ting first came back, he was interested, but I stopped him, and in a fit of anger, he occupied Wen Ting's house, and Liang Zi ended up like this. ”
"He still dares to hit me...... Aunt Ting's idea!" Zhao Fei shot the case, furious.
"But isn't it? Your Uncle Zhao is the most promising in our generation, and when he was there, the turtle son didn't dare to be so arrogant. ”
"Those three gangsters this time, are they all his people?"
"It shouldn't be wrong, he recruited passing murderers to stay in Zhaojiagou, saying that it was to resist monsters together, but in fact, it was for himself. He usually sings red-faced, and those people sing white-faced, and everyone is obedient, and they all read him well. ”
Zhao Guohong used to be a bastard, and he hadn't come out yet, but he didn't expect to turn over now.
Zhao Fei's guilt for his wife and daughter, as well as his anger at the occupation of the property, were all counted on Zhao Guohong's head, his eyes were gloomy, and his fists were clenched, but he quickly released it weakly.
He really has nothing to do with Zhao Guohong now, Chu Xiaodao is already fierce enough, and Zhao Guohong will only be stronger.
In this world, many things are useless, and only fists are the foundation of life.
If Zhao Fei wants to protect his wife and daughter, and if he wants to seek justice, he must be strong!
