12 Enough to tear the world apart
"Those zombies were so scary yesterday."
Walking on the sunny street, Terry whispered to her boyfriend next to her, "You know that my dad is a logistics staff member at Endel Company, and he secretly picked up a severed hand, and the bone actually moved on its own, God ......"
Boyfriend Michael's eyes widened when he heard this, and then he asked enthusiastically.
He played a game all night last night, and he didn't know much about what was going on outside, and he didn't even move when he heard the alarm.
Terry told the truth, which caused the other party to be surprised, and she didn't think her boyfriend was frizzy, but felt cute, so she kept smiling.
But when they arrived near their destination, the whispers had to raise their voices - the surroundings became very noisy.
Ahead is the entrance to the venue, near which all kinds of fashionably dressed young men and women gather, waiting for the time to approach.
"We'll talk about that later."
Because the noise was so loud, Terry had to raise his voice and shout. However, the intimate boyfriend raised his hand and gestured to the smartphone in his hand.
Terry smiled, amused by her boyfriend's witty performance.
The two then held hands, bowed their heads and began to chat on their mobile phones.
As time passed, the number of people around me increased, and the sounds became more and more noisy.
The couple, immersed in the small world of the two parties, ignored the external objects, until an alarm bell appeared, they put away their phones, and then hugged each other and walked towards the entrance of the venue.
Although the turmoil that has occurred in the past two days seems to be a bit much, it has had little impact on the world of ordinary people.
Today is the annual Atlanta Music Festival, and many of America's most famous bands have rushed to Atlanta to start singing in front of them.
So at the moment, there is a lot of traffic here, and the crowding situation seems very uncomfortable - although the order management of the venue is very strict, there are too many people.
However, this situation has been alleviated by the entrance, and entering the narrow passage, the two of them walked hand in hand to the stadium one after the other.
Because the entrance was not very long, they didn't use their phones to chat again, but looked at the slightly dim passages around them. That's when a special symbol caught Terry's attention.
The symbol, which looked like a line freak grimacing, was carved into the top of the passage and stood out because of the light from a tube.
Feeling funny, Terry hurriedly shakes his arm to greet his boyfriend.
"Mike, look, that symbol is so cool."
Boyfriend Michael nodded in agreement. He actually saw it, too.
It's not just the couple, it's almost impossible for most people to ignore the somewhat eerie symbol unless they keep their heads down.
It's just that this unique thing is basically ignored because it only causes a small chatter.
Countless people walked into the venue, found their seats and sat down.
In the sunny environment, the red seats in the stadium gradually filled with people.
Terry and Mike are positioned relatively far forward, which makes the two quite excited. Sitting in a chair, watching the empty spaces around you continue to be filled, waiting for the first band to appear.
It was a little boring for a while, so the two young couples began to look around.
"That girl is so pretty."
Hearing something in his ear, Terry turned his head to see that his boyfriend was staring intently at a blonde girl not far away.
"I really want to have sex with her."
Terry was stunned for a moment, and then he was very annoyed by it, so he blurted out a sarcastic remark: "With your little cotton swab?" ”
As soon as the words came out, Terry regretted it a little, blaming himself for saying what was in his heart. Mike, a blonde young man who was insulted in public, also turned his head to look at his usually well-behaved girlfriend in a daze.
"It's obviously your problem, why are you slandering me?"
"What? Mike, you make it clear, how did this become my problem!? ”
"Clearly? Do you really need me to say it? ”
……
The two argued louder and louder, and their faces became more and more red.
Under normal circumstances, this kind of thing will attract attention and fingers from the people around you.
It's just that at this moment, in this huge venue, not only the young couple quarreled, but many men and women around also began to be chaotic.
"The music of the orange bands is like shit, it's hard to imagine why we're here."
……
"Maisie, do you know why I have to take you with me? Because you're ugly and have freckles. ”
……
"You don't have to guess, it's obviously Sam's fart, a poor sour smell!"
……
Countless bitter and mean words, which are usually unspeakable, have become more and more easily blurted out at this moment.
Many people were outraged by this, and the words they uttered became more and more unpleasant, and the smell of gunpowder gradually increased.
So much so that when a famous band came on the stage, everyone around them didn't pay attention to them at all, and it seemed to become a sea of scolding.
This made several members of the band a little dumbfounded. The filming crew, who were about to start recording, also looked at each other.
……
In fact, it's not just the concert here that has this strange situation, but all the universities, clubs, and various public venues in Atlanta have been turned into this kind of scene.
Countless couples have blushed because of this, countless family relationships have become precarious, friends, relatives, and familiar strangers.
The world that adults have carefully disguised has been dismantled completely because of a mocking face symbol.
As a result, conflicts continue to occur, countless relationships are shattered, and the trajectories of countless people are shifted.
As a result, many police officers who had been on leave yesterday after fighting all night were quickly transferred out and had to start a large-scale stability maintenance operation.
This situation also aroused the attention of some people who were already talking about the mutant animals and the sea of dead bodies yesterday, and after learning about the situation, they sent an emergency meeting in the government office building in Atlanta.
"The threat is not big, but it needs to be strictly guarded against the use of weapons by citizens."
"We examined all the places where they happened, and what we found was that they all had a unique symbol." A balding expert stood in front of the screen and pointed to a grimacing photograph in the frame.
Below him, two rows of Atlanta executives in suits and leather shoes sat on either side of the long table, staring at the screen and staring intently.
"My agents suspect this is a premeditated group mutant terrorist attack. And this symbol is the symbol of their actions. ”
The deputy director of the Atlanta Sentinel Secret Service was in charge of explaining, and he said with a serious face at the moment: "And we suspect that those mutants that appear one after another are also deeply related to this organization." ”
"Purpose? What is their purpose? One of the listeners raised his hand and asked.
"It's still under investigation, but we already have clues."
As the deputy director spoke, he pressed down the controller in his hand, and a young face appeared on the screen.
"The reason we suspect this is that there has been a spate of strange things going on in Atlanta since the mutant criminal appeared, and our agents learned during the hunt that there was no information from the government about him. He and the mutants, like those dead people, appear inexplicably. ”
"It seems a bit far-fetched." A middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses suddenly spoke.
This is the person sent from above, and the deputy director knows that his reasons are a bit far-fetched. But he could not say that they only had this clue at the moment, so he said: "There are many details to add, but we cannot tell them here because of the time constraints, and we will provide Mr. Matt with a detailed document later if we need to." ”
The middle-aged man nodded when he heard this.
So the deputy director explained again.
"Regarding this dead body, our experts are looking at how they have the power to act. It won't take long to get results. At the same time, we found several mutants in the sewers of the city, and caught a few in our daily duties. However, many inconspicuous and unique species are always difficult to hunt down, and the full cooperation of various departments is required. ”
"Don't let these mutants escape again this time." The serious-looking lady couldn't help but say when she heard this.
The mutant creatures that were caught last time suddenly disappeared before they could officially start researching, causing them to be excited in vain.
Although he was not sure, the deputy director still nodded in affirmation.
However, whether it is mutant monsters or those resurrected corpses, it is just some more obvious trouble for them, and it does not cause much chaos.
It's just that the sudden appearance of a large number of crazy citizens has embarrassed them very much.
During the meeting, everyone agreed that this was a special ability displayed by a mutant criminal, and no one refuted this.
In short, what science can't explain, it's right to stuff it into variants.
So at the end of the meeting, they shifted from the three things in Atlanta to how to hunt down the mysterious mutant organization-
Although it is uncertain whether this organization actually exists, there are no other clues, and it can only be investigated in this direction.
Because the matter has been pursued, the bald agent of the Sentinel Secret Service eventually becomes the head of the operation, and the person from the third department of mutant security is also involved, trying his best to find the only exposed member of the terrorist group, Charles. Cranston.
It's a pity that they searched for nearly a week in a row, and even with the help of the three-part middle man who used some kind of black technology, they quickly searched all the surveillance in the city, and they didn't find the slightest trace of the young mutant's existence.
It was as if he had mysteriously disappeared, and people couldn't even touch a shadow.
