Chapter 2 Celestial Phenomena
What Mo Chen didn't know was that the moment his palm left the disrupted Rubik's Cube, the mutation began.
The so-called real disasters often strike suddenly, inadvertently, without any warning or warning.
At the same moment, something incredible, incomprehensible, and bizarre is happening—
All radio signals on the entire earth fell into a state of disorder at the same time, mobile phones, computers, wireless networks and other band tools were completely paralyzed in an instant, and all electronic devices with integrated circuits became useless scrap metal.
The TV screens in countless homes have suddenly turned into a white flower, and I don't know how many computers suddenly disconnect from the network, and even keep flashing screens and garbled characters.
Of course, any mobile phone and home landline are completely unreachable and are treated equally.
- Yes, they are all paralyzed and directly out of contact with the outside world.
It's just that many people don't know what is going on, they just think that they are in a unique situation, and most of them are cursing and cursing the operator while checking their own equipment.
Only special institutions such as hospitals, airports, and some military facilities really pay attention to it at the first time, especially the latter, and even wonder if their place has suffered from super electronic interference.
But it doesn't take long, less than half a minute later, the real panic will be detonated.
Because in the next moment, the sky seemed to darken.
At first, no one noticed the change, and people just stopped in the streets in confusion, slowed down, or kept pressing their phones in annoyance, or frowned at the scene around them.
The billboards that can be seen everywhere on the roadside, the neon lights suddenly flash sharply a few times, and then go black, as if the circuit was suddenly burned out at the same moment.
The huge electronic screen on the building in the distance, and even the TV and computer equipment in the store, seemed to have turned into a white flower in an instant.
Aside from the more irritating "rustle" sound, no images are shown.
Immediately afterwards, all the display screens went black at the same time, which seemed to indicate the complete collapse of the power system itself, whether it was connected or independent, whether it was the large TV in the mall or the mobile phone in people's hands.
At the same time, the streets began to become chaotic, and the traffic collapsed in an instant, and spread like a chain reaction to everywhere.
The reason for all this is that the traffic lights at the intersection suddenly lost their meaning at the moment just now, and countless cars, regardless of size or speed, all stopped abruptly at the same moment, as if they were deprived of power all at once.
The screams of the people rang out, and the sound of cars overturning, colliding, honking horns and horns was heard everywhere in all directions -
The strong inertia caused the driver and passengers inside to crash, and the car's tires were dragged on the road with long scorched black marks due to emergency braking.
Collisions and rear-end collisions occur one after another, and vehicles collide together, which is generally not considered a serious traffic accident. But if the number of vehicles involved in the accident is spread across the entire road or even the entire city, it can be called tragic.
And some guys who are already speeding or ignoring traffic laws and don't wear seat belts are afraid that the consequences will be much more serious......
In fact, the consequences are not a big deal, like them, they put life and death outside the degree, and only want to live a chic and wonderful life, and it can be regarded as seeking benevolence and benevolence when it ends.
It's time to be content.
The chaotic streets, the crashing traffic, this is definitely enough to make people feel some kind of "abnormal" beginning.
As the sky grew darker and darker, people screaming and fleeing for their lives on the road, people hiding in cars and getting knocked into a drowsy state, or people in the high-rise buildings on the side of the road, all noticed that something was wrong.
They stiffened and looked at the sky with blank expressions.
The clear day was rapidly darkening, and the huge fireball in the sky, which had been cursed before, was also tirelessly releasing light and heat, and seemed to be ...... Devoured?
The sunlight loses its warmth, softens, and quickly dims and extinguishes.
The colorful world seems to be fading from the brilliant colors and gradually becoming monotonous, and the gray white and cascading shadows have gradually become the main melody of the city.
The "light" and "heat" in the air seem to be being withdrawn little by little, and the world is becoming dark—or rather, dark.
Anyway, whether it was the sky, the earth, or anything else, from far to near, from everything in front of you to the end of the line of sight, it was all drowned in this darkness little by little.
What is happening, or what is happening, is so unbelievable and incomprehensible, it is so ridiculous.
Could it be that the whole earth suddenly fell into a black hole? Everything within the line of sight, even the light, is completely distorted and absorbed, so it is impossible to observe it visually.
So it just looks like a "pure black"?
So I don't know when, the commotion began to spread uncontrollably.
And so, great panic and riots began to spread in countless streets, countless cities, and countless other places of the same.
The crowd shouted and screamed under the darkening sky.
People are crowding, everyone is pressing, pushing each other and there is a rapid commotion.
Countless calls to the police began to be dialed, but they were constrained by paralyzed electronic devices and network environment, and could not be answered.
The panic and fear of countless people, and the various self-help behaviors they have made, can only cause more hysterical commotion and panic in the end.
……
……
Mo Chen didn't know about this, because when he looked out the window, basically the whole world was about to be completely dark.
Almost nothing can be seen.
He just listened to the chaotic and noisy noises and turmoil coming from the darkness outside, and was a little dazed for a while, as if he couldn't accept such an unbelievable unfolding—
So much so that he couldn't fully understand it at all.
It wasn't until it was completely dark and there was no light in the outside world that he suddenly reacted and immediately stood up and closed the curtains!
In the dark room, only the faint blue light film rippled like water in the center of the room, acting as the only source of light.
“……”
“……”
The corners of Mo Chen's mouth twitched, he subconsciously looked in the direction of the window, and then looked at the messed up Rubik's Cube on the table.
No matter how you look at it, it seems that the only source of the anomaly is this thing!
What should I do now? His body trembled slightly, and his heart was churning with turbulent waves, even the most dull person was, and in such a situation, he knew that he had made a big mistake.
It's clear that a huge catastrophe is going on out there, or rather...... It's happening.
This fleeting thought, combined with the chaotic movement and sound of the screams outside, made Mo Chen immediately jump up as if he had been electrocuted.
He quickly pounced on the Rubik's Cube on the table, avoiding direct contact with the blue beam, no matter what, now it is the most important thing to do to restore the Rubik's Cube to its place immediately!
I didn't have time to think too much, but the moment my fingers just touched the surface of the Rubik's Cube and felt the cold metallic texture, Mo Chen's eyes suddenly turned black.
“……!?”
However, he quickly reacted, it was not that he was in any danger, but that the blue light beam projected by the Rubik's Cube was directly cut off, and the blue light film naturally disappeared.
Therefore, the room naturally fell into darkness, and I couldn't see my fingers.
He didn't have any dark vision, so naturally he couldn't see in the dark, and as a result, he suddenly fell into an unprecedented dilemma. He didn't know what to do next, how to recover the Rubik's Cube?
Is it possible to try your luck?
Wait, this is too mysterious, although it is not difficult to restore the third-order Rubik's Cube, and the world record seems to be three seconds or four seconds.
But that doesn't include Mo Chen himself, according to his estimate, if he doesn't check the strategy, he can successfully restore the Rubik's Cube in five minutes, which is already a super level of performance.
Besides, those strongmen who have reached the world record are not challenging themselves in such a blind situation!
I can't see it, who the hell knows how to rotate and twist?
Forcing himself to calm down, Mo Chen tried his best to calm down and calm down as much as possible.
After knocking over the computer monitor, although he didn't touch the phone he had placed on the table, he pressed the power button on the computer console instead.
That's right, that's it, hurry, hurry......
He waited anxiously for the light of the computer screen to come on, but he never got his wish. He pressed and pressed again and again, almost not pressing the power button to dent it, but there was still no response.
It seems, the power is out?
Also, it's so dark outside, there's no reason why no one thought of using technological cold light to illuminate, and the only explanation is that the power is paralyzed, and it's a fairly large area.
It's just that no matter what the hell is, Mo Chen is out of line now, he just feels the cold, hard, and heavy metal square in his hand-
For a while, he only knew that standing in the darkness where he couldn't see his fingers, he really felt so confused.
But before he could continue to think of another way, the darkness outside seemed to slowly begin to recede automatically, and the curtains were obviously turning whiter and brighter little by little, turning into normal day again.
I don't know how long it has been, maybe it's a moment, maybe it's billions of years.
Mo Chen opened the curtains again and looked outside.
I saw that the summer was scorching, the huge fireball was still hanging in the sky, and the sound of cicadas was still noisy, and it seemed that nothing special had changed.
In addition to the chaotic streets, the collapse of traffic.
In addition, it is obvious that there are many places around the area where black smoke is rising, and the smell of burning rubber and gasoline can be heard in the air from a distance.
Even if you can only see the tip of the iceberg of the city from the room, it doesn't prevent Mo Chen from imagining-
Now the whole city has fallen into an extremely chaotic scene.
He didn't know exactly what was going on, but judging from the fact that the entire sky had been completely darkened, perhaps the great change that had just taken place wasn't just limited to the current or nearby city.
Maybe half the world, or even the whole world, has actually been affected?
Mo Chen stared blankly at the scene outside the window, and he didn't know how long it took before he was awakened by the sound of sirens whistling from the street, and at this time all kinds of police cars, fire trucks, and ambulances had already been dispatched.
Perhaps some relevant units have also urgently dispatched communication vehicles to the surrounding areas to maintain the stability of the situation as much as possible before the magnetic field signal disorder is fully restored?
Mo Chen pursed his lips vigorously and tugged at the corners of his mouth.
Then again, this one ...... Didn't you just write it down on your head?!
