Chapter 2: Cracks
"Hmm, why am I asleep?" Half an hour later, Lin Chuan woke up slowly, rubbed his sore neck, rolled his eyes, and saw the gray stone that was still lying on the ground, recalling the scene before falling asleep, Lin Chuan woke up, and hurriedly picked up his palm, and found that there was no change.
With a hint of worry in his heart, Lin Chuan walked over to pick up the stone, and just as he was bending over, Lin Chuan caught a glimpse of the amazing scene on the street outside.
The road that was supposed to be full of traffic was forcibly separated by a bottomless crack, and as far as the eye could see, the length of the crack still stretched forward, and the road was full of pedestrians standing on the edge of the crack and peeking into the crack.
The crack was not very wide, and no cars fell into the crack, but it still caused serious car accidents, and the vehicles were parked on the road, some of which caused quite tragic damage, and even rushed onto the sidewalk, causing serious injuries and damage to the surrounding pedestrians and construction facilities.
No one can say exactly why this crack appeared, but he caused immeasurable damage, at this time the familiar siren sounded in his ears, police cars, ambulances, and fire trucks appeared next to this crack one after another, and a large number of reporters also rushed to report the accident.
As the street was in a mess, an even louder hum came out of the cracks, and it grew louder and louder, as if something was pouring out of the ground, and everyone on the street heard it.
The sound came from far and near, and when the sound became clearer and clearer to a critical point, a thick black mist erupted from the crack, accompanied by a sour hissing sound.
The next moment this black mist appeared in front of people, it covered the crowd of onlookers like a stormy wave, and instantly the street remembered a scream of horror and a cry of pain.
A closer look revealed that this was a black mist, a swarm of trillions of ant-sized insects that used humans as food, leaving white bones and scarlet blood all over the ground.
This terrifying scene frightened the people, and they screamed to escape from the swarm, and everyone wanted to grow an extra leg.
In today's world, selfish people are almost everywhere, and in this case, the selfishness in human nature is even more prominent.
Some people push or drag for their own lives, tripping the people running in front of them to the ground in order to buy enough time for themselves to escape, and the fast people are also using various methods to slow down the movement of those who come behind, and their conscience seems to disappear in an instant.
People are desperately fleeing and looking for shelter, and when they see an open door, they rush in regardless of it, and then lock the doors and windows and ignore the desperate pleas for help from the people outside, watching the people outside being eaten alive by the insect swarm into a pool of blood and bones, such a scene is playing out everywhere in the current area.
Lin Chuan looked at the chaotic scene downstairs above, as well as the blood and human remains everywhere, he was so frightened that his body was cold, he only felt that his scalp was numb, his stomach was acidic like a river overturning the sea, he almost wanted to vomit, looking at the broken window in front of him, the fear of death was in his heart.
Now the priority was to find something to seal the window, and he resisted the chill in his heart, rummaging through the house, and now the swarm had not yet sprung up, because there was still plenty of food to hunt underneath.
After rummaging for a while, I really couldn't find a relatively strong material such as a wooden board, so I could only open the instant noodle box, paste it on the window with cardboard, and then thicken it several layers with duct tape frantically, until I couldn't find any gaps, and scanned all the corners of this room of only a dozen square meters, not letting go of any holes that might be missed, and after many inspections did not find any omission, Lin Chuan took a breath of relief, sat on the bed in a daze, and the slight tremor of his body showed how afraid he was in his heart at this time.
Outside the window, the dark insect swarm was still raging, but under the clear sun, it was a scene like purgatory on earth, blood and bones could be seen everywhere, the insect swarm raged for hours, as the sun set and the moon rose, the insect swarm gradually fell silent, the terrifying hiss disappeared, and everything returned to silence.
With the complete disappearance of the insect swarm, finally someone walked out of the door with a pale face full of fear to inquire about the outside world, with the first person taking the lead, more and more people walked onto the street, looking at the scene on the street, everyone's expression was different, the most was to see the bloody scene in front of them and began to vomit on the spot, and there were also those who hid their faces and cried, or muttered to themselves with blank eyes.
However, people who were immersed in their emotions did not notice that wisps of black gas rose from the surrounding environment and gradually drifted towards the clouds in the sky, and it turned out that these insects did not disappear, but all merged into the surrounding environment due to the arrival of night.
It was from these insects that the black gas was emitted, and as the gas dispersed, the bodies of the insects disappeared, as if they were made of these gases, and the darkness of the night made these changes imperceptible.
When more and more gas drifted into the clouds in the sky, the light clouds in the air were dyed into dark and heavy black clouds, which accumulated more and more, and finally after accumulating to a critical point, the dark clouds were like a dam releasing floodwater, scattering rain into the world, drifting heavy rain pouring down, washing the blood on the ground, and also pouring on the people who were full of fear.
After Lin Chuan relieved himself, the first thing he thought of was his only friend, he didn't know what the situation was like on Liu Fu's side, so he called him, and after a short period of more than ten seconds, he remembered Liu Fu's familiar voice on the other end of the phone: "Hey, Lao Lin, what's the matter?" ”。
Hearing Liu Funa's tone, Lin Chuan knew that this incident should have only happened in the area where he was this afternoon, and then asked, "How is it over there?" How much longer? ”
"I'm still in the Labor Bureau, they're still negotiating for me, it should be soon, I hear that it's raining outside, you wait to pick me up with an umbrella" Liu Fu didn't know what was happening here, and was still laughing.
At the same time, C City ** is trying its best to control the major media reports on this matter, due to the suddenness of the incident, this incident directly caused hundreds of deaths, in order to prevent the incident from leaking out to the world to bring panic, so ** must suppress the matter.
At the same time, it is necessary to control the perimeter of the place where the incident occurred to prevent the incident from spreading from the mouths of the people, in order to suppress this tragedy, ** can only direct the people's eyes to the huge crack that suddenly appeared, and respond to repair this crack in the shortest possible time.
Just as the authorities are trying to control the incident, the change has recurred, and the incident has gradually developed in the direction of man's uncontrollable, and everything caused by human beings has finally provoked the wrath of the earth, which is only the beginning of everything, as if someone has turned the gears of the world's direction, and is walking towards an increasingly terrifying future.
However, humanity is still unaware of this, and waits defenselessly for the endless horror to strike.
