39 First panic
Ambassador Boris was rightly foreboding.
May 11, 2012.
The people of the earth ushered in the first real panic since the celestial event.
----
Z country, Jiang County.
The case fan buzzes.
In front of the computer desk, Li Zhencai's eyes were red and his face was greasy, his left hand gently stroked the keyboard, his right hand firmly grasped the mouse, and he stared intently at the display screen in front of him.
This posture has lasted for Li Zhencai for five hours.
Next to the computer desk, the surface of the small glass dining table is messily filled with instant noodle boxes, and in the corners of the room, more face boxes, paper bags, cigarette butts, cans, and layers of garbage have piled up a hill.
This kind of life has lasted for five full days.
Five days ago, Li Zhencai, who had just finished his weekly shift, immediately took a month's leave without hesitation when he found out about the celestial incident, quickly bought a large number of daily necessities from the supermarket, and moved into a rented house on the fifth floor several times.
Then, never went out again.
In the past five days, apart from eating and sleeping, Li Zhencai's only activity is to stare at the display screen in front of him intently, as now.
The screen shows the playback page of a well-known video website in China, which plays the most popular video content in the current and national history:
Dream sky, you and I go together.
This is a joint project, and the participating websites cover audio, video, language translation, photography, geography, history, military and ...... and so on, and almost all of them are well-known websites that rank high in the industry.
Before the celestial event, this level, this level of cooperation, even if only two or three of them were involved, it would take several months for the early contact alone.
As you can imagine, in just four days, a lightning-fast cooperation was reached, and even a work was launched, and these investors, decision-makers, management, and staff involved in the website are estimated to be all worried about gray heads, and if the hair that has been pulled out is concentrated, a new wig shop can be opened.
Of course, the time is too tight, the resources of commercial websites are limited, whether it is manpower and material resources, or organizational efficiency, it is certainly not comparable with the military institutions of various countries, although the videos launched by these cooperation websites, although they are called "you and I go together", but whether it is the real real-time or the accuracy of all aspects of the analysis conclusions, there is a big gap with the results of military institutions.
At the same time, the high 30:1 time flow rate ratio, as well as the video website, or the defect of human reaction thinking, the website cannot play a complete sky image, and the final presentation to the Internet users of the various optional playback content, are all important scenes carefully selected by the website.
Among the various video websites,Li Zhenhua chose the "Happiness Video Network" that he is used to logging in,Before the celestial incident,Happiness Video Network was famous for video embedding complaints,The function of commenting on barrage synchronization is famous on the Internet,Now play"Dream Sky,You and I go together","Happiness Network" still retains this featureγ
At this time, in the display screen in front of Li Zhenhua, the video interface on the left: At dusk in the medieval world, Wu Qingchen was holding a small clay pot in both hands and was carefully stuffing it into the mud hole dug out of the steep slope.
On the message page on the right, a string of comments come and go:
"Why don't you build two small dikes to stop the fish? It's a waste of time to stab every day! β
"At first glance, I know that I have never lived in the countryside, in fact, there are a lot of things that can be eaten in the wilderness, and it is okay to catch fish and rabbits once or twice, but I can't catch them after a long time!"
"There's a lot to eat in the field? Are you responsible for the poisoning? Can you afford it? β
"What's in this jar? So disgusting? β
"The shape of the clay pot is upside down, the model should be good, but looking at the reflection of light, the material must be very rough, this absolutely leaky thing is really big with liquid?"
"Worship the technical party, please buy a glass bottle and mail it over, and the celadon of the Song Dynasty will also do! The cost is out of me. β
A few minutes later, in the video, Wu Qingchen, who walked to the side of the bridge, suddenly raised his head, opened his right hand, and there were a few splashes on his bare skin.
In an instant, the comment screen next to it refreshed at a speed that was almost invisible to the naked eye:
"I'm grass! What's going on? β
"It's raining? I'll it! Will it rain in this place? β
"me! What to do? β
"Look at the sky and see a fart! Bring your hat on! This kind of JB world cold is a death sentence! β
"Brothers, hurry up and buy cold medicine!"
"Cold Medicine +1"
"Cold Medicine +2"
"Cold Medicine+N"
At the same time, Li Zhencai, who lived on the fifth floor, heard a sudden commotion from the street downstairs, and at the same time, the unit building where he lived sounded the sound of doors opening and closing one after another.
"Oops! How did I forget this! Li Zhencai also stood up quickly, hurriedly rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, and finally found the wallet from the pants that he had changed the day before yesterday.
That's not right......
Quickly opened the door and was about to rush down the stairs when Li Zhencai suddenly paused, sniffled first, and touched his forehead again.
Silly?
The video is out of sync, and I don't have a cold, which means that this rain must be fine, and I bought a fart cold medicine!
Soon, Li Zhencai sat down in front of the computer again.
At this moment, the speaker "Ding Dong" sounded, and a small box popped up in the lower right corner, indicating that the website has been updated with new content.
At the same time, there was a louder noise from the street downstairs, the staircase of the unit.
Li Zhencai didn't react, as if he didn't hear it at all, because when he moved his gaze a little just now, from the small box that popped up, Li Zhencai saw a superchain with red letters.
Without any hesitation, Li Zhencai quickly closed the current page, and directly skipped the two videos that had just been updated and had not had time to watch them, and directly clicked on the content that had just been updated at the moment.
This is also the way that the vast majority of Internet users watch "Dream Sky, You and I Walk Together".
The time flow rate is too fast, the total time of the video is too long, in order to facilitate the selection of Internet users, the website marks different videos with different prompt colors to indicate different levels of importance.
where red......
What does red mean?
Li Zhencai didn't know, because this was also the first time Li Zhencai saw the video of the red tip.
The video started quickly, and ten minutes later, Li Zhen understood the meaning of red and understood the appropriateness of red.
At this moment, Li Zhencai's face turned bright red from the same color as the reminder he had just updated.
After letting go of the mouse, Li Zhencai grabbed the keyboard, and the room soon resounded with a crackling sound: "This Nima!" The work was already so heavy, and the cattle were injured again, and they had to plough the land, which made it impossible for the earthlings to live! β
"Isn't this kind of thing a cowherd the lowest level of society? I'm afraid of a JB! the guy his whole family! β
"That's too bullying, isn't it? Rise up! him! β
"Cowherd, the identification is complete!"
"Is Wu Qingchen a fool? Can you bear it? Standing by and not saying a word? β
"Has the government collectively eaten Xiang? Didn't predict such a situation? How did it go wrong? β
The comments were refreshed quickly, and the speed instantly exceeded the preset, and the system immediately automatically locked the real-time refresh function, only to see the number of the page in the lower right corner jumping rapidly, and soon broke through the six-digit mark.
The content of the red reminder video has obviously been processed to a certain extent, and most of the situation at night has been omitted, only the father went out to borrow a plow, and the mother prepared food in the middle of the night.
These two parts immediately caused another large-scale explosion of comments.
When the cowherd's family, William's family, Wu Qingchen's family, and the earthling's family were cursed and scolded by hundreds of thousands, the light of the video gradually brightened, and the time came to the early morning of the next day.
The staggering footsteps in the rain, the crying baby at the bottom of the tree, the blood on the girl's shoulder, the heavy body of the teenager......
For no reason, Li Zhencai suddenly felt sad.
At the same time, the speed of the comment page jumping exploded again, this time, scolding Wu Qingchen, Old William's content was much less, and most of the attacks were put on the damn medieval world and the damn cowherd.
Looking at the rapid increase in the various tortures tailored for Mr. Cowherd next to him, at this time, Li Zhencai was sure that if humans had the ability to drill into the display screen, the damn cowherd would definitely turn into scum in an instant, and even the ashes would not have a gram left.
couldn't bear to see such a hard struggle anymore, Li Zhencai controlled the mouse, held down the progress bar and slowly dragged it backwards.
Suddenly, Li Zhencai stopped suddenly.
On the display screen, the plow truck fell to the ground on its side, the sky was pouring rain, and Wu Qingchen fell into the mud, the blade was close to his cheek, and he remained motionless for a long time.
Li Zhencai was also motionless for a long time.
In an instant, in the summer, Li Zhencai seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar, his cold hair stood on end, and his hands and feet were stiff and numb.
For a long time, it wasn't until in the video that Wu Qingchen got up, slowly checked his body up and down, and put on a strange posture, that Li Zhencai also slowly stood up, touched his arm, and touched his chest.
The video came to an abrupt end.
What's going on?
Li Zhencai was excited, quickly grabbed the mouse, and pointed to the video page.
It's over? It's over? It's over?
At the same time, in the comment area next to it, a long series of comments broke out in an instant:
"It's our lives!"
"I almost died!"
"I didn't finish my cigarette, and my head almost became two halves!"
"This can't go on! Let's think of a way! β
"Kill him! Kill him! Kill him! β
"Wake up urgently! Wake up urgently! β
At the same time, the number of online users of the website has dropped rapidly.
At the same time, communication software, download software, play software, search software, input software, etc., and so on and so on messy software is not willing to be lonely, and a series of windows pop up one after another in the lower right corner.
Why is the number of people online plummeting? Li Zhencai didn't understand at all.
What does emergency wake-up mean? Li Zhencai didn't know.
What is the message that pops up? Li Zhencai didn't have time to pay attention.
Tilting his head stiffly, Li Zhencai looked out the window, the image of the sky had disappeared, and it had reverted to a peaceful morning red cloud.
I!
Strangle!
Piece!
Grass!
Recalling the content of the last moment of the video, recalling the mud on the ground and the pouring rain in the sky, Li Zhencai quickly grabbed his wallet and rushed down the stairs.
39. The First Panic (Part II)
Streets of Jiang County.
"Tuk, tuk, tuk."
"When, when, when."
"Bang! Bang! Bang! β
"Smack! Syllable! Syllable! β
"Bang! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! Syllable! β
While on patrol, Xie Yang suddenly heard this burst of knocking on the door, then turning into a knock, then turning into a hammer door, then turning into a kicking door, and finally turning into a violent knock on the door.
What's wrong with it?
Discerning the direction of the voice, Xie Yang quickened his pace, turned a corner, and dozens of meters away, at the door of a pharmacy with an iron door closed, a dense crowd of people gathered in several circles, and there were continuous ""Bang! Syllable! Syllable! Voice.
It's a pharmacy again! Can't you stop the meeting?
Xie Yang hurriedly trotted all the way over, straightened his police hat and pulled his police uniform as he ran.
No way, since four days ago, police stations at all levels have made the strictest requirements for police dress, appearance, style, and attitude. Of course, such directives are issued every year, but unlike previous years, this time, the request was made at the same time as the police departments at all levels showed their determination to meet the request.
The strongest determination.
Four days ago, when everything had just begun, Xie Yang was taking a lunch break at home when he suddenly received a call from the director. On the phone, the director first asked Xie Yang's location, and then briefly and clearly ordered Xie Yang to immediately put down all the affairs at hand and immediately rush to the police station to gather.
Since there was nothing to do, and the director's tone was unprecedentedly harsh, Xie Yang hastily cleaned up and quickly rushed to the location of the police station.
As soon as he walked to the door, Xie Yang was taken aback, in the reception hall of the police station, he was usually calm, not in a hurry, as if he was confident in everything, at this time he was taking off his police hat, tearing off his police uniform, his head was covered with sweat, he clung to the phone tightly, and looked anxious.
Xie Yang cautiously walked into the hall, and was hesitating whether to walk over to say hello, noticing the movement at the door, the director who turned around waved his hand impatiently, signaling Xie Yang to sit down quickly.
It didn't take long for colleagues to arrive, and for each additional policeman in the hall, the director would breathe a sigh of relief, and then immediately flip his wrist and look at his watch.
Time gradually passed, and after ten minutes, there were more and more policemen in the hall, and finally only the deputy director did not arrive.
The increasingly anxious director dialed the phone several more times, but it was never answered, and everyone saw that the director's face was getting darker and darker, and finally it was so gloomy that it was about to drip water.
Looking at the phone for the last time, looking at the watch for the last time, the director gritted his teeth fiercely, his eyes were red, first grabbed the phone tightly, paused and put it back in his pocket, then pulled off the watch vigorously, paused and put it back in his pocket.
Finally, from his pocket, the director took out half a pack of cigarettes, and with all his strength, he threw it viciously, hitting the wall with an unimaginable loud noise.
After that, it's a matter of gathering, departure, and waiting.
After that, Xie Yang's police car was mixed into the strangest convoy he had ever seen in his life, and Xie Yang also experienced the most bizarre escort in his life.
Arrived at the highway intersection, without any explanation or pause, led by a military vehicle, the entire convoy rushed back to Jiang County non-stop,
Then, together with militia, security guards, sentry guards, firefighters, prison guards, armed escorts, and so on, Xie Yang and his colleagues blocked the entrance and exit of an old community in three layers and three layers outside.
Dozens of meters away, near the community, the gates, rooftops, windows, and key positions are full of heavily armed active-duty soldiers.
As for the inside of the community......
Xie Yang didn't know anything about it, and he didn't have the slightest idea of wanting to know.
Because, not long after Xie Yang and his entourage arrived, the two armed escorts who had about this idea had just walked a few meters, and before they had time to look, they had already been pointed at at least fifty guns all over their bodies, and then they were held down by more than a dozen soldiers and dragged into a military vehicle that was immediately driving.
In the following time, as a carload of soldiers arrived one after another, the warning position of Xie Yang and his party changed again and again, first at the entrance of the community, then at the end of the community, then at the intersection, and finally to both sides of the street.
The tense standing guard lasted from 4 p.m. to night, and the mixed team was sweaty and soaking wet. However, although they were quite tired, the team members did not complain in the slightest---- and the guys who liked to talk and complain had been cordially invited into the military vehicle by the soldiers a few hours earlier.
At 10 o'clock, a few officers finally came over and announced the disbandment of the team.
The director led his colleagues back to the police station, and when he entered the door, he saw that the deputy director who had received some rumors was sitting on the stairs at the main entrance with a pale face, and the director led his colleagues into the conference room with a blue face, and he did not look at the deputy director from beginning to end.
From this day on, Xie Yang never saw the deputy director appear in the police station again.
From this day on, police stations at all levels have made the strictest requirements for police dress, appearance, style, and attitude.
After tidying up his clothes, Xie Yang almost rushed to the door of the pharmacy, and at this time, the sound of "clang" on the door became louder and louder.
"Police!" Approaching the door and adjusting his pace, Xie Yang first shouted to identify himself, and then walked over calmly, "What are you doing?" β
Seeing the police uniforms that represented power and violence, the crowd around the door dispersed one after another, making way for Xie Yang.
"Comrade, we didn't do anything, we just wanted to buy medicine, and the boss just wouldn't open the door!"
"You can buy medicine and hit the door?" Xie Yang's tone was serious: "There are so many people making noise around, of course the boss doesn't open the door, and it's only seven o'clock now, is it time to open the door?" β
Xie Yang said this sentence very skillfully.
Patrolling all night and surrounding the pharmacy is the third case that Xie Yang has dealt with.
"But it's too late!
"Too late? Do you have a cold now? Does anyone in the family catch a cold? See someone else catch a cold? β
Xie Yang couldn't figure it out, wasn't it just a little rain in the medieval world, wasn't it already fine? Can you use such a surprise and deception?
"But ......"
"No, but! Hurry home, or wait in line, wait for the boss to open the door, and don't make trouble at the door. β
The crowd looked at each other, and no one went home, but they all quieted down, and slowly formed a crooked line.
The staff of the pharmacy stood at the door about the beginning of the morning, and when they heard the silence outside, they quickly pulled up the roller shutter.
The door of the store opened, and there were policemen standing at the door staring, and the crowd was slightly commotional, and it quickly calmed down.
"Thank you so much, comrade policeman."
A middle-aged man, who was about the store manager, walked over with a grateful face.
"It's okay, it's our obligation...... You guys are busy, I'll go first. The matter has been settled, Xie Yang waved his hand and turned to leave.
An hour later, Xie Yang, who was dressed in pajamas, rushed all the way to the pharmacy, and the person was still a few meters away, and a loud and anxious voice had already entered the pharmacy:
"Boss, I want cold medicine! Without cold medicine, I want Banlangen! Without Banlangen, I want Xia Sangju ......"
On this day, Li Zhencai, who hurriedly rushed down the room, the frightened pharmacy owner, and Xie Yang, who couldn't buy cold medicine everywhere......
And countless Chinese who woke up early in the morning were undoubtedly angry.
----
United States.
Compared with China in the early morning, the United States, which is already noon, is undoubtedly several times more lively.
Thanks to a more open network and more frequent contact, Wu Qingchen's experience in the medieval world soon caused countless shops on the streets of the United States to clear the long queues.
At the same time, with a well-developed tradition of strikes, marches, and demonstrations, and rich experience in large-scale organization, the streets of dozens of cities in the United States are flooded, and countless citizens have poured into the streets.
The demands of the citizens are varied, and most of them are realistic:
"The White House is a pig farm, and the president is down!"
"The government is incompetent, and it strongly demands that the time of the celestial phenomenon be adjusted!"
"The risk of work increases, and wages must increase at the same time!"
Of course, there are also some more sci-fi:
"Fight to the Forbidden City and capture Wu Qingchen alive!"
"Investigate the cause and stop the celestial phenomena!"
The rest are already involved in fantasy, such as demanding that the United States immediately send troops and send aircraft carriers into the Equali region of the medieval world to begin to relieve the humanitarian catastrophe there; For example, in some new religions, believers and leaders held up large photographs of Wu Qingchen and called on the world to immediately believe in God and renounce sin, especially sin-filled banknotes.
In the midst of the surging crowds, employees of the traffic department and the police department were anxious, making countless calls for help and receiving countless orders for immediate support in another place.
In this situation, about ten minutes after the celestial event ended suddenly, the crowd instantly erupted to a climax after receiving the news that Wu Qingchen was in distress in the medieval world.
Whether it is reality, science fiction, or fantasy, whether it is the staff who demand a salary increase, the scholar who asks for the investigation of celestial phenomena, the auspicious man who asks for troops, or the Pope who asks for money, they all change their opinions in an instant, and even the employees who maintain order invariably raise their fists and join the angry crowd.
On this day, unemployed middle-aged workers, truck drivers who were injured in an accident, and government employees who were anxious ......
and the countless Americans who are unable to go to work due to traffic congestion and who are unable to live on strikes in various industries, are undoubtedly angry.
----
Mexico.
Mexico City.
There were no marches, no demonstrations, no strikes.
There was hardly a pedestrian on the road, and from time to time, bursts of gunfire, sparse or dense, distant and near, rang out from the streets, explosions were heard, and in the distance, smoke or flames rose from several buildings.
In the small room, the old man hugged the child, the husband hugged the wife, accompanied by the sound of gunfire, the family trembled and frightened.
Suddenly, the celestial phenomenon that had lasted for seven hours suddenly disappeared, and half an hour later, the sound of gunfire, which had been sporadic and sporadic again, suddenly became more frequent, and then quickly became denser.
In the end, after another, one after another, the whole of Mexico City soon became a sea of fire and blood.
On this day, the father, the elderly, the wife and the child who hid in the basement, the police army who were attacked, and the shopkeeper who burned the industry......
and the countless innocent civilians killed and injured in the streets, undoubtedly outraged.
----
On this day, the earth's 7 billion humans ushered in the first public enemy in history.
On this day, countless people shouted countless anger, and countless anger conveyed a unified political idea:
Cowherd, you're fucking dead!
