201, a girl in the snow
Got into the chubby car again and returned to the familiar downtown area, where the snowflakes had already obscured the sun, and the snow had covered the building with a thin layer.
The surrounding weather has reached the level of close to blizzard, but the snow has no intention of stopping.
It's hard to imagine how much has changed in less than eight hours since I left the city in the morning and now when I'm back here.
Because of the limited vision, the cars on the road are driving extremely slowly, but fortunately, we are not on the busiest road, so we did not encounter traffic jams. Occasionally, a few cars passed at high speed, and those were ambulances with flashing warning lights.
It's strange that this ambulance is dispatched too often. From the time I entered the city to the present, I have encountered no less than eight vehicles one after another, all of which have gone in different directions.
Although the sudden arrival of the blizzard has reduced visibility a lot, and it may indeed lead to traffic accidents, it is not possible to have so many at the same time.
"How strange!"
Unexpectedly, Xiaopang heard my underestimation and took the initiative to answer: "I also heard the reason for this blizzard, but I didn't expect it to be so soon!" ”
With such bizarre weather, Chubby actually knows the reason?
"What a reason!" I wonder what Chubby knows.
"I've heard from Xiaoxue that it's called the Cold Night Festival, right? Successive blizzard days herald the coming of the catastrophe, and today is just the beginning, I am right. Chubby passed through a crowded intersection and stopped the car.
It turns out that the reason why Xiaopang said it was the Cold Night Festival, and for so long, I forgot about this stubble. Although I knew the prophecies of the end times from the second time I met Fang Lingyu, I didn't seem to really believe them.
I never seemed to really think about what the end times would be like.
"I heard that when the ancient Cold Night Festival came, more than 10% of the people would die in a short period of time, which is more terrible than any other disaster." Fat took a deep breath, "If it lasts longer, most people will not be able to survive the endless blizzard alone, not to mention that the most terrifying thing about the Cold Night Festival is not the blizzard, but the demons that keep coming from hell." ”
Yes, if the account of the cold night festival is true. But no one who is still alive today has actually experienced the full Cold Night Festival, so no one is sure what will happen, is it?
"You say, if there were really a lot of people dying at the beginning, would I be the first batch of cannon fodder!" Chubby suddenly asked.
"Why do you say that?" Chubby, what's wrong? How could there be such an idea?
"I am the young master of the richest family in this city, and I am the best among my peers in terms of financial resources and connections. But in the face of the last days, none of this is useful. Xiaopang sighed, "In many novels and movies, when the end of the world comes, the first people to die are not people like me who look beautiful but are actually useless." ”
"What do you mean it's useless, you're also a ghost hunter!" And Chubby is also a special hidden spirit physique, compared to those ordinary people, he is still much stronger.
"Ghost hunter? Can a half-person like me be a ghost hunter? He shook his head, "I want to join you, but I do have a real chance to join you, and the time I work as a ghost hunter doesn't add up to five days. I'm far from a real ghost slayer now. ”
Actually, my experience as a ghost hunter isn't enough. Although I have been through many events, I have only been a ghost hunter for half a year.
And I don't know much about the formations and techniques, and I still don't know what ability I have escaped repeatedly.
However, today's Chubby is completely different from usual. In the past, he was mostly very optimistic, but today he expressed a bunch of frustrating feelings.
"Are you scared?" Could it be that Chubby said these words because the prophecy of the end times made him afraid?
"yes, I'm scared!" Xiaopang didn't refute, "I'm not afraid of death, I'm afraid that there will be no signs, and I haven't had time to do anything, so it's suddenly gone." I'm afraid that at the end of this life, I will have too many regrets. ”
"Okay, don't say such heavy words, I'm going to be negative if I keep talking." I can only try to comfort, "Isn't there a saying, when you are late, the bridge will sink naturally, ah no, naturally straight?" ”
"You're right!" Chubby was slightly relieved and started the car again, "It's useless to think about this now, I'll send you home." ”
"By the way, I'm going to the hospital, can you take me there?" It occurred to me that I still had somewhere to go.
"Say, where are you going?"
"Hospital."
"Hospital? Are you going to find Xiaoxue? I haven't asked her which hospital she is! Wait for me to call......"
I interrupted Chubby: "No need, I'm not looking for her, I'm going to another hospital." ”
***
As soon as I walked into the gate of the hospital, I found that there were people coming and going, and people were constantly being carried in. There was a long queue at the emergency room. Some even fell to the ground and let out miserable cries.
"Could it be that there was another accident and a large number of casualties?"
"Not necessarily." Chubby reminded, "Don't forget, maybe the end has already begun." ”
Staying in front of the hospital any longer, the air seemed to be getting heavy, and we quickly ran to the inpatient department. However, when we found the ward, it was indeed another patient living inside.
After confirming the ward number, I immediately found the nurse: "Excuse me, where is the little girl who lived here before?" Have you been discharged from the hospital? ”
"You mean that little girl with epilepsy? She had just been discharged from the hospital this morning, and it seemed that her parents could not afford to pay for the medical bills. ”
She had already been discharged from the hospital. I immediately turned to Chubby: "Can you take me to another place?" In the south of the city, a bit far. ”
"It's so late, and it's snowing heavily, do you really want to go now?"
"yes, I have to see her as soon as possible!"
"Alright! It is estimated that you can't find a car in this weather, so I'll send you! Chubby nodded.
It took us a full hour and a half to get to the old residence.
"Is this it? This house is so old! Chubby looked around.
"That's right!" As soon as I finished speaking, I noticed a girl in a summer dress in a courtyard covered with a layer of snow, fiddling with the large snowballs piled up in front of her.
Even though her fingers were so red from the cold that she couldn't even bend them completely, she didn't seem to feel the cold and was concentrating on playing.
She seemed to see us too, and was about to get up, but her feet were limp and she fell headlong in the snow, and she struggled to get up, but her body twitched uncontrollably.
I immediately rushed over and helped her up: "Lu Qing, are you okay?" ”
The girl's lips were already blue, and she stammered and tried to speak: "You...... Be...... Who? ”
