Chapter 4: A Familiar and Strange World
Zhou Che's body was still a little damp at this time, a piece of clothing had basically been torn into strips of cloth, which made him very uncomfortable when it stuck to his body, but fortunately, there were only a few scratches on the pants on his lower body, and there was no damage, but they were already soaked, and they were also extremely uncomfortable.
It's just that at this time, he doesn't care too much about how embarrassed he is...
"Woo..."
As soon as he stood up, there was a cold wind blowing, this wind was extremely cold like winter, and the sound sounded more like a wail, especially mixed with a strong smell of blood, which made his body tremble at the same time, and he almost vomited.
Looking up, he was stunned.
Surrounded by a white mist, this mist seemed to have life, slowly rolling, and under this mist, on the ground, those ruins have been burned to charred black at the moment, a large amount of ash mixed with rain, into a piece of silt, more of them, is some dark red liquid, Zhou Che is not stupid, he knows very well, those... It's all blood!
These sticky dark red silt, flowing slowly, constantly converging, gradually turned into a dark red stream in this ruin, this scene looks a little weird, and if it is already clear that those dark reds are formed by blood, then the weirdness immediately becomes a horror!
Not far away, there is a huge deep pit, which has been filled with rain at the moment, becoming a puddle, the color of which is also dark red, it looks extremely viscous, it feels like a huge blood-colored swamp, which makes people palpitate!
Turning his head, Zhou Che even saw that on top of these ruins, there were some charred black things that looked like human skeletons, the reason why they were somewhat similar was because these skeletons looked incredibly distorted, if they were really skeletons, then the pain they experienced in their lives was unimaginable!
Zhou Che was sluggish again...
The surrounding scenes are scenes that he has never seen before, even in film and television, he has never seen such a scene, let alone personal experience, at this moment, in a daze, he is staring at these hellish scenery around him in a daze, looking at the past scene after scene, his heart is throbbing again and again, gradually... He was a little numb.
"Here... It's Tang City... Is it? His mind was almost blank at the moment, trembling physically and mentally.
Except for the sound of the wind, there was silence all around, most of the buildings had collapsed, becoming charred and black ruins, and a trace of white mist rose from them, and the few buildings that still remained looked a little dilapidated, and even some were already crumbling, as if a gust of wind could blow them down.
The original Tang City was full of tall buildings, and the view was blocked everywhere, but now there is no obstruction of those tall buildings, and the vision is open, but when you look into the distance, it is finally blocked by these thick fogs, and it gradually becomes blurred.
This is still Tang City, although it looks dilapidated, and he no longer recognizes any streets or buildings, but Zhou Che has lived here for so long, and he already has a sense of familiarity with this place.
It's just that the current Tang City is already full of holes and desolate.
Silent, Zhou Che didn't make a sound, turned his head to look at everything around him, and suddenly a very unreal feeling surged in his heart, as if at this moment, he was in a dream.
Just yesterday at noon, he was still going to and from school normally, except for his mobile phone wallet being stolen, nothing special happened, life was still uneventful, everyone lived as usual, but now, after waking up again, everything has become what it is now, two completely different Tang Cities, which make people feel like a world apart!
The originally busy streets, the bustling shopping malls... Everything in Tang City is now gone, except for the occasional crumbling building or two, and the ruins that are all over the place.
He suddenly thought of why the two people just now had a long silence, this kind of earth-shaking change, no one could accept it at once...
And the culprit of all this is those balls of light of different colors that look incomparably gorgeous!
Thinking of this, Zhou Che came back to his senses and turned his head to look, but he didn't see those falling things, he could only see the blood-colored lakes one by one, and the dirty, ruin-filled ground, those balls of light, I don't know if they are still at the bottom of those deep pits, and if so, what are those things...
This disaster is really too sudden, without any warning, and many things are incredible!
And it seems that such a large-scale meteorite fell from the sky, after it fell, a few hours passed, and it did not cause any subsequent other disasters.
"Uh..."
When he was stunned, there was a sudden tingling pain in his head, like a pinprick in the face.
He shook his head in some pain, looked down at his right hand, he frowned, now he was a little too weak.
"The wound is so severe, my clothes are dirty and wet, and after a long time, there will definitely be problems, and it may even be life-threatening... It must be dealt with urgently! ”
As soon as he thought of this, he didn't have the heart to care about other things, the current situation, it was still important to save his life, so he discerned the direction a little, and walked in the direction of Pearl Square.
...
Pearl Plaza is one of the major shopping malls in Tang City, which is very popular on weekdays, because it is a large public place, and the flow of people is huge, and the firmness of the building and the protective measures must be first-class, and the buildings there are dense, even if most of them may have collapsed in this catastrophe, but there is definitely still a part of it is still intact, and after the disaster, it has become a natural refuge.
His first thought was originally to go back to school, after all, it was the place he was most familiar with, and his brothers were still in school when the disaster happened, and now life and death are unknown, Zhou Che is also worried about their safety, on the other hand, he was injured, and now in such an environment, he doesn't know what will happen next, stay together, and there will always be a response.
However, this thought only flashed in his mind, and he directly rejected it.
Not to mention that it was too far away from Tangcheng Middle School, the most important thing was that he didn't know the situation there at all, and he didn't know if the buildings there were intact.
"The area around the basketball court is still relatively empty, and it should be the safest place in the school, hopefully... You're all okay..."
"And... Xu Xiwen..."
Zhou Che showed a faint worry in his eyes, although he was worried in his heart, but now his situation is not optimistic, and he doesn't have too much thought to think about others.
Compared with the school, Pearl Square is much better, it should be one of the best refuges in Tang City after this disaster, and the most important thing is the resources reflected in it, which is one of the largest shopping malls in Tang City, rich in material resources, and after the disaster, the resources that have been retained are definitely impossible to compare with other places.
And now, the injury on his hand must be dealt with quickly, otherwise, after a long time, there will inevitably be problems!
Thinking of this, Zhou Che didn't think much about it, quickened his pace, and walked directly in the direction of Pearl Square.
The road has been buried in ruins, and under Zhou Che's feet, all the way through the ruins, these ruins are all charred black after being burned by the fire, and in this ruins, there is a trace of white mist coming out, looking like a desolate wasteland after just ending a big war.
Not far away, there are also black ruins stacked into small hills, these ruins fragments of different sizes, stacked together, at a glance, undulating, occasionally see one or two dilapidated buildings that have not yet fallen, standing alone on these black hills, it seems desolate and lonely.
The silence around him was incomparable, and his face was always a little gloomy, and he didn't go far, and he always felt that in this silence, as if there was something, he suddenly began to feel a little crazy in his heart, and his footsteps stepped on the ruins, the sound was not loud, but it was very clear, and that was it, but it made him tremble when he listened to it.
He always felt that there seemed to be something strange around him, and coupled with the strong smell of blood in the air, the whole atmosphere was extremely strange...
"This disaster itself is very strange, it came so suddenly, there was no news at all before this, people were not prepared at all, even those very active media websites did not have any news out, it stands to reason that such a big disaster should not be..."
Along the way, the more he thought about it, the more strange he felt, those things before were obviously from the sky, and the number was extremely huge, with the current level of astronomical observation, it was impossible not to discover it in advance, but such a big disaster, the country could not hide it, so it was even more strange...
Unless... Do these orbs of light appear out of nowhere, or... With today's advanced technology, these strange balls of light cannot be detected!
One more point... The main thing!
What exactly are these balls of light, and what do they become when they fall?
Anyway, these things really fell on the earth, causing all this, if these things are just some meteorites, Zhou Che really doesn't believe it...
Turning his head to look at a blood-colored pit not far away, he didn't stop, frowning, always feeling that at the bottom of the pit, there was something that he had never seen before.
In science fiction movies, there are not a few such situations, but Zhou Che almost forgot that this is the real world, not a movie!
The more he thought about it, the more confused it became, Zhou Che shook his head, threw these strange thoughts out of his mind, and suddenly there was a burst of dizziness, and his head suddenly felt a little hot.
At the time of the disaster, there was turmoil everywhere, although he did not suffer any fatal injuries, but there were some effects, plus the heavy rain and the wound on his right arm, his condition was actually very bad!
With his current state, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for long!
"No! I must speed up and hurry to Pearl Square to rest, otherwise, let alone go to find my parents, I'm afraid I won't live long! ”
