Chapter 292: Calamity Day
Rain on January 17, 2021
Today is a rainy day.
Even though it's been almost half a year, I'm not used to the rain now.
It had a strange smell, it was sour in the mouth, and it was a little weaker, and such a rain was enough to kill me, but fortunately I was not afraid, because I had become a superman that I could not even imagine myself.
And a group of people like ours is called hope.
Even today, the last vestiges of the last civilization, a radio station that has been holding on to it has also cut off its last signal.
But as if to prove the theory that one end is a new beginning, our walls of refuge have been officially completed.
Never doubt the power of humans, as long as there are still humans, miracles can happen at any time.
I looked at the completed city wall, and I was very emotional, I thought that the sudden disaster that night would destroy everything, but the fire was not extinguished in the end.
When I think of this, I feel like crying, and how long has it been since crying happened?
You know, I cried almost all day and night in August last year, and I suspect that all the tears of my life were shed at that time.
yes, how can it be endured?
Overnight, my dear parents were separated from life and death, and the budding love was strangled by the disaster, and I saw her who gave me the first hug die in front of me.
What about the rest of the loved ones? What about friends? No, you can only look for traces of them in your memory, and if you can meet someone who knows you a little well, it is a great luck.
This luck made me realize that people can really have nothing in their lives, a meal, a simple place to live, and be able to do meaningful things, it is enough.
Because, the most precious treasure is the person who has left traces in your memory, and if there is no disaster, you will not realize that your own alone time and everyone who has walked through your life is the true composition of your life.
I grew up and matured very quickly, and in just a few months, it was like going through several lifetimes.
It was this maturity that gave me the courage to face my wounds and write down memories that I thought I would never recall again in my life.
My life was a upheaval at the sweetest moment.
Before that, although my family was not rich, but full enough, I was not successful in my studies, but I was able to continue my studies and lay a solid foundation for my ordinary future self, and my love was just beginning.
I can't forget all the details of that day, like her every smile, every look she looked at and every word we said.
Those words were all longing and hope, and no one could have predicted that in just seven or eight minutes, everything would change drastically.
At that moment, we held hands, just returned from the bustling street, walking on a quiet side street not far from her neighborhood.
"I'm almost home." She shyly let go of my hand, always difficult to be seen by the familiar people around her.
But how can the love at the beginning be willing to separate? As soon as I let go, I couldn't help but hug each other again.
It was the first hug of love in my life, and the feeling of my heartbeat is so real in retrospect.
But the moment she was in my arms, she looked up and saw Ziyue.
Yes, the purple moon subverts our perception, isn't the moon a warm yellow? While it occasionally glows with mysterious blood, it can never be purple.
So, when she told me that the moon suddenly turned purple in a moment, I didn't believe it, and it wasn't until I turned around and saw the purple moon that I realized that what she said was true.
Maybe it's because I'm naturally sensitive, and the moment I saw the purple moon, an ominous feeling surged up in my heart.
When the purple moonlight shone on me, I had a strange stickiness in my body, like the feeling of touching the strange mist that would appear at night for many days.
By the way, I forgot to mention that there was no fog that night.
I thought it was a blessing that could be used to commemorate my love with her, 'You see, on the first day we fell in love, even God celebrated for us, and there was no fog for the first time. ’
Yes, the fog that shrouded the whole world was gone that night.
But the Purple Moon appeared!
No one knew that this mysterious, even beautiful purple moon would bring disaster, and its appearance would make the whole city a sensation.
In just five minutes, many people poured into the streets, just to admire the mysterious purple moon.
She also leaned on my side and looked at Ziyue quietly, at that time, I still remember that she was a little excited, and even because Ziyue thought of many unsolved mysteries of the world, the universe, and our lives....
But everything she thinks of is beautiful, including our lives will go to a more desirable point, where can she think that most lives will come to an end tonight?
The purple moon appeared less than seven minutes ago, and I can't be sure of the timing.
A meteor shower has appeared, and this meteor shower is so weird that it looks like it came straight from the moon.
How should I describe what I saw? Racking your brains to metaphorically, you can only describe the moon as a giant battery, and then it launched these meteors!
It's weird, right?
Something even weirder was about to happen, and while people were boiling over these dense purple meteors, no one noticed that a huge catastrophe had already occurred at this time.
It's been almost half a year, and no one can explain what kind of force it is, silently, destroying in an instant the achievements that human beings have spent thousands of years accumulating.
The first is that all the satellites launched by humans have lost their effectiveness.
The communications network that had taken decades to build was all cut down in an instant.
And then there are all kinds of silent destruction, the ultimate weapon of mankind, all kinds of missiles, all kinds of fighter jets, aircraft carriers... In short, my knowledge is limited, after all, I am a guy who has not yet had time to go to college, and I can only say that these weapons capable of forming the ultimate blow have failed.
Do you think that's what scary? No, after the catastrophe occurred everywhere, and when all kinds of armed emergency actions of human beings were carried out, it was found that as long as the more powerful thermal weapons were ineffective.
It's like being caught by a huge, magnetic-filled object, and it can't function at all.
Later, I met a surviving soldier who was a commander and he told me, "I used to think that humanity was very strong and that the next step should be to go into the universe." In the end, we found out that human beings are actually very fragile, and as long as our communication network is destroyed, many of our ultimate weapons will become 'blind', and we will not have time to react in the first place. ”
"And this destruction can be done completely silently, with a force that we have never known."
Yes, silently, without warning, paralyzed in an instant.
However, at that moment, I was still happily with her, looking at the purple moon and the purple meteor shower in the sky, my heart was both uneasy and strangely excited, and I felt that I had witnessed the times.
Yes, I did witness the times.
It also bears witness to my own ignorance.
Because which meteor shower can pose a real danger? It doesn't matter where they end up, I haven't heard any news of any damage caused by it.
However, this time the meteor shower fell indiscriminately.
The sound of people's revelry was still in my ears, and a huge purple meteorite fell on the city on that side, directly smashing several huge buildings.
I saw all of this, and I saw people start screaming.
"Call the police."
"What about ambulances? Call the city hospital ambulance. ”
"Hide, another meteor has fallen."
I subconsciously pulled her, or maybe she subconsciously pulled me, and we started to run, although there was no direction, but running away would make people feel safe subconsciously, because who would dare to guarantee where the next meteorite will fall?
How did I feel at the time? Looking back on it now, it's a little vague, and there is only one thought that is extremely clear, that is, we actually encountered a meteorite disaster? How many disaster-stricken cities will appear in tomorrow's news?
But is it just a meteorite disaster? No, by no means.
Next, we witnessed what it means to be subversive! Rats, countless rats appeared.
Each one was not the kind of rat we usually saw, but a huge one, as big as a dog, with great strength and speed, and kept pouring out of the ground.
I even saw with my own eyes that as soon as the purple moonlight shrouded me, some of the rats that were still in the normal range of acceptance immediately became larger.
Just like this thing has been accumulating for a long time, it is a matter of course that they become larger by the moonlight.
Then, stray cats and dogs....
Mosquitoes that are not usually put in the eyes ....
At that moment, everything became a strange existence to human beings, a hostile existence.
As if organized and premeditated, they began to launch a frenzied attack on humans.
And that's not the end of it, as more and all sorts of strange creatures began to flood into the city, just like the crazy snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the city.
They are also frantically attacking humans.
Bigger disasters also began.
Perhaps, I can't call this catastrophe a catastrophe, because it has given a small number of human beings a little respite.
What is this disaster? It's a catastrophe from nature.
Earthquakes, strong winds, thunder, torrential rains.... It happened at the same time! And I just noticed that the purple moon in the sky was weird all along.
What is it? Is it a desperate situation? Is it the end times? At that time, I finally reacted and realized that this was a catastrophe that was too big for human power to stop.
The end times have indeed come, though not necessarily the final desperate situation!
Because of change! At that moment, I was a person who experienced a drastic change!
