Chapter 4: The End of the World

For three months in a row, Feng Jing and Chen Xi have been buying food through various channels, in order not to attract excessive attention from others. They even bought something they didn't need as a cover. I also registered a few small accounts to buy food online, and sent them to Chen Xi's apartment. Except for the living room and master bedroom, all the other rooms in Chen Xi's apartment have become small warehouses. Neither girl realized how to take away so much food when the time came.

During this time, in addition to practicing martial arts, archery and physical fitness in school with peace of mind, Feng Jing also took advantage of the summer vacation to hold a license for weapons given by Chen Xi, went to get three excellent bows, and quietly hid in his room while his parents were not at home. I also found various relationships and created some feather arrows with real arrows.

Not only food and weapons, but the two girls also got together to read a lot of novels about the end times, and bought everything they might need.

However, from June to October, life has been peaceful, the world is peaceful, and the news reports are full of articles about the establishment of diplomatic relations and cooperation between countries. It must be said that there is something wrong, that is, geomagnetic disturbances are appearing in more and more areas, but they have not caused any anomalous phenomena and no accidents.

In the eyes of others, these are just things that are not enough to pay attention to, but in Feng Jing's eyes, there is a kind of tranquility before the storm. As November approached, Feng Jing's uneasiness became stronger and stronger, and she felt that the end of the world was not far away.

————————

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Feng Jing finished eating with his parents at home, sitting on a rattan chair on the balcony while admiring the moon and chatting. The night sky was cloudless, and a bright moon hung coldly in the air. Maybe it's because there are so many stars today, but the small ones are a little abnormally bright, and Feng Jing always feels a little weird.

After all, he has never been exposed to astronomical knowledge, and Feng Jing doesn't know if these unusually bright stars are originally in the sky. The palpitations came too suddenly, Feng Jing felt a little tight, said hello to his parents and went back to the room to rest.

"Rustling ......"

"Click-click-click......"

At some point, a slight crawling sound rang out throughout the world.

The nightmarish sound made Feng Jing wake up from his sleep all of a sudden. She reached out to turn on the light, but no matter how much she pressed it, it didn't come on. The sound in her ears became louder and louder, and she hurriedly reached for the light screen on the bedside table, but was scalded by the scorching heat and retracted her hand - the light screen was scrapped.

Suppressing the uneasiness in his heart, Feng Jing got up and groped to the window, opened the curtains, and the whole city was dark. By the moonlight, Feng Jing could barely see a few cars parked crookedly on the nearest road, and Ying Ying Youyue also saw a black tide and constantly struggling figures.

Suddenly, the glass in front of Feng Jing's eyes was covered in a large area of black, and the clattering crawling sound stimulated her eardrums one after another. This exceptionally familiar voice made Feng Jing soberly realize that the end of the world is coming.

She took a deep breath and squeezed the screams that were about to burst out of her throat. Slowly stretched his stiff body, and relaxed his muscles that were involuntarily tense due to the crawling sound of insects.

The lights are broken, the light screen is broken, and the flashlight is useless. Feng Jing relied on his memory to find candles and lighters from the drawer of the bedside table. These two things will be completely eliminated by the times in 2040, and she and Chen Xi have been looking for a long time to buy them from an old store that is about to close down. I didn't expect it to really come in handy.

The faint candlelight lit up in the room, and it was at this time that Feng Jing really felt the meaning of the "fire of life". She had never been more hungry for the light than she was now.

"Zizi-zizi-" The abrupt sound of electricity made Feng Jing vigilant.

"The energy is full--alien sound waves detected--the system activates-"

The cold electromechanical sound seemed to sound directly in Feng Jing's brain, causing her to shiver.

"Who!"

"System Initialization Starts - Scanning the Host, 50%-75%-100% of the Process Scans Complete."

"Greetings to the Queen of the Last Days System 9418. Hello, Feng Jing. ”

The cold mechanical voice suddenly transformed into a gentle female voice, which made Feng Jing stunned for a while. Hearing the word system, she understood everything. I didn't expect that the essential golden finger of the protagonist in the novel could be given one by her.

"This queen system will not provide any golden fingers except for necessary hints and dying life-saving~" It seemed to analyze what Feng Jing was thinking, 9418's gentle voice sounded again, and Feng Jing always felt that this system was gloating.

"It is speculated that after a minute, the corpse insect tide will cause a miasma, please prepare a mask for the host."

"Corpse worms? Malaria? Feng Jing's attention was immediately diverted.

"There are 40 seconds left before the miasma envelops."

"Hey!"

"There are 25 seconds left before the miasma envelops"

Feng Jing resignedly took out the prepared mask and put it on, and by the way, changed into a set of mountaineering clothes with a certain protective effect.

"The corpse insect is a ** creature, sensitive to human smells. It can bite through human skin and follow blood vessels to the heart. Gnawing on the human heart completes parasitism, transforming humans into parasites, and the weakness is light. The presence of a large number of corpse insects will cause a miasma, which is colorless and odorless, and will cause humans to fall into a deep sleep until they are exposed to sunlight. 9418 began to answer Feng Jing's previous question in a soft voice.

"Huh? How can there still be an asterisk? Feng Jing is no longer able to complain.

"The host permission is not enough, and it cannot be unlocked for the time being."

“... Yes. Feng Jing has never felt that a gentle voice can also speak very poorly.

was troubled by the system, and Feng Jing was not so nervous at first. Suddenly, his face changed, he grabbed all the candles and lighters, and ran to his parents' bedroom.

Just opened the bedroom door. And I saw it in the living room, on the ceiling... Everywhere there was a dense mass of bugs, constantly pouring into her parents' room. Feng Jing's lips turned white, his steps staggered, and his emotions were a little uncontrollable.

"Reminder: The host's parents are as alien as the host, and will be bitten, but will not be transformed into parasites." 9418 paused abruptly and gasped, "Please be cautious when the host opens the door. ”

Hearing the system's prompt, Feng Jing's face softened slightly, and he walked to his parents' room with a candle. The black corpse insects fled in large pieces at a speed visible to the naked eye, and where the candlelight could shine, all the corpse insects turned into nothingness.

When the door was opened, Feng Jing's parents were lying on the bed, and their exposed skin was bitten by corpse insects with dense blood marks, which looked particularly terrifying. If it weren't for the system's guarantee, Feng Jing would be afraid that his parents would be parasitized directly like this.
