"Traveler?"

The city officials were a little stunned, and it was already full of weirdness to meet such a strange person in such an early morning.

It's just that, at this moment, they have more serious and heavy things to do, and they don't have time to take care of this strange Oriental.

"Get out of the way."

"Okay."

Cheng Lin walked to the side of the street and stood under a black street lamp with a white lampshade.

Quietly watching the city officials move forward, occasionally encountering a car blocking the road, someone will come forward to check, and then a dull, frightened, but forcibly calm voice will be heard: "Here! Another one died! ”

"And this one! There are too! ”

"Oh my God, it's dead, it's all dead! What's going on? ”

"Shut up! Don't move, our mission is to clear the snow! ”

Where have the city officials seen so many deaths? Almost all of them were panicked, and only a few could still force themselves to calm down and command, but their trembling voices also revealed the anxiety and fear in their hearts.

Death.

There were deaths everywhere.

The big city is filled with deathly depression!

……

"Boom ......"

The snowplow continued forward, pushing away the knee-thick snow, which was so heavy that many people had never seen it before.

Cheng Lin stood quietly on the side of the road, raised his head, and looked at the dark sky, there were still snowflakes fluttering, but the momentum was much smaller, he had realized at the moment that this time, the world was ushering in a plummeting temperature, as well as a blizzard.

"It's just...... It's not clear how serious it will be. ”

"According to the program, last night's cold spell covered the whole world, which means that this is not just a disaster for one city and one place."

"The number of people who died from freezing in the cold may be more than I expected, how many? Tens of millions, hundreds of millions? ”

Cheng Lin thought about it, and at this time, information appeared in his mind again.

[You stand on the side of the road, quietly staring at the dead city, last night's snowstorm took hundreds of millions of lives around the world, but at this moment, people have not yet reacted, most of the survivors do not know this catastrophic news, but soon, maybe the next second, maybe it has begun, the number of people who died last night will become explosive news, shaking the world, causing a global shock]

[This is a grand catastrophe that mankind has never encountered for hundreds of years, you feel uneasy in your heart, you decide to buy a cup of hot coffee to warm up your body, but unfortunately all the coffee shops in your neighborhood are closed, fortunately, there is a supermarket not far away that has just opened, where you can meet your basic requirements]

At the same time, Cheng Lin felt that there was something more in his pocket, and when he felt it out, it was a five-euro banknote, gray paper, a Greek-style classical building on the front, and the Gard Bridge on the north.

Cheng Lin looked at the banknote for a few seconds, as if he was thinking about something, but after a while, he just sighed faintly.

When he raised his head, he saw that a familiar translucent guiding cursor had appeared on the ground, and he followed the guidance and walked a block along the cursor and saw a small supermarket, with a red horizontal background color and white letters, and he couldn't recognize the brand.

The front of the supermarket seems to have been swept and wiped down, but the surface is still covered with frost.

Pushing open the door, the indoor lights are on, the temperature is very low, even if the heating equipment is on, it is still very cold, there is a middle-aged woman in a thick down jacket in front of the counter, rubbing her hands busily, in front of her, there is a middle-aged man with slightly bald hair - he is wearing blue-black clothes, wearing a thick scarf and glasses, his expression is serious, and his temperament looks like a scholar or a lawyer.

"It's a terrible situation, prepare for the worst." He said.

The middle-aged woman rubbed her hands: "Of course, I heard that it seems that someone froze to death last night." ”

"It's not like, it's just."

"Oh my God, why is this happening? Mr. Durand, the weather forecast does not mention such a severe drop last night! The middle-aged lady looked a little excited.

The Mr. Durand grimaced, taking the cup of hot coffee that had just been brewed, said, "Perhaps, it's not just the climate. ”

At this time, the middle-aged woman saw Cheng Lin, was a little surprised, and asked in English, "What do you want to do?" ”

Cheng Lin responded in pure French: "A cup of hot coffee, thank you." ”

As he spoke, he handed over the bill.

While the woman was brewing, he turned to look at Duland, "What do you seem to know?" ”

Durand looked at Cheng Lin, there are often foreign tourists coming to the city, and Orientals are not unusual, but Cheng Lin still feels very strange to him, even weird.

"Xia Guoren?"

"Yes, I just heard you say it's not a simple climate cause?"

Durand groaned for two seconds and said, "Just guessing." ”

"I want to hear about it."

"Do you know the snowball hypothesis?" Durand uttered a strange word.

Cheng Lin shook his head, indicating that he was not clear.

Durand is not surprised, he seems to simply want to talk to someone, and in such moments, confiding can relieve his inner tension and fear:

"That's a scientific hypothesis put forward by the geological community, mainly to explain the glacial remnants of the Neo-Paleoyuan period that have been discovered around the world."

"About 635 million years ago, that is, in the Neo-Paleo-Yuan period, there seemed to have been a global freezing phenomenon on the earth, the entire world's oceans and land were frozen, and the whole earth became a completely ice ball covered with ice and snow.

There are many hypotheses in the geological community, among which in 1992 California Institute of Technology geology professor Koshweinke first used the name 'snowball earth', or the snowball earth hypothesis, which has since been supported by colleagues including Harvard geology professor Hoffman. ”

"It is speculated that there have been three times in history when the global freezing time resembles a snowball Earth, so ......"

Durand suddenly didn't say anything more, just took a sip of coffee.

Cheng Lin looked at him unexpectedly: "No, this is too sudden, what evidence is there?" ”

Durand shook his head, his face heavy: "There is no evidence, but I am always used to thinking in the worst direction." Hopefully, I'm thinking too much, and maybe tomorrow, the temperature will slowly rise and everything will become normal. ”

Well, I'm afraid your hopes will be in vain......

Cheng Lin thought in his heart, took his hot coffee, took a sip, and watched Durand turn around and push open the door and walk into the cold street.

After he left, Cheng Lin looked at the middle-aged woman: "That Mr. Durand just told me a very wonderful theory, do you know what he does?" Scholar? Or a university professor? ”

The middle-aged woman was stunned when she heard this, and said, "He...... He's a veterinarian. ”

“…… Thank you and goodbye. ”

Cheng Lin pursed his lips, also pushed open the door and left the supermarket, the moment he pushed the door open, the warm coffee in his hand quickly cooled, cooled, clicked, frozen, and pushed the paper cup out of the cracks.

Throw it in a snow-covered trash can on the side of the road.

Cheng Lin looked around and found that there were already some more people on the street.

[You come out of the supermarket and listen quietly to the city in the early morning, the heavy snow hinders the transmission of sound, but you still find that the city is slowly and uncontrollably noisy.

There was a piercing scream from nowhere, presumably a woman who had stumbled upon a frozen corpse.

From a corner there was a cry of despair from people who had come out to look for their relatives and friends.

Tears blurred their eyes, but they quickly froze, the snowplow rumbled to open in full force, and the municipal government began to clean up the semi-paralyzed city.

[More and more people know what happened last night, the death toll is surging at a terrifying, frightening rate, the city's police station is surrounded by people, and the major hospitals are crowded with patients with severe frostbite.

Behind the cloudy sky, the faint sun pours down, without any temperature, the whole city, the whole world recovers, no one knows what is really happening, and countries blame the incident on unexpected natural disasters and are busy calming the turbulent society.

However...... The situation will not get as good as people would like, but will continue to deteriorate.

Cheng Lin stood silently, and suddenly the surrounding scenery suddenly blurred and changed, and when it became clear again, he had already come to another street.

He turned his head and saw a city public display screen lit up next to him.

Not so long ago, this screen was scrolling with couples' greetings about true love.

And at this moment, there is only a scarlet, eye-catching exclamation mark left.

There is also a line of small letters underneath:

"Highest level, Global Disaster Warning!"
