Chapter 25: The Vortex
Of course, Su Chen wouldn't have walked to Moss City on just two legs. Although he has a divine amulet. However, the talisman is the treasure at the bottom of the box, commonly known as the killer weapon, and it cannot be wasted unless necessary. Besides, what he was going to was actually the cloud car traffic stations all over Meilan County. Although the Yulongshan Martial Arts Hall is relatively remote, it is not far from the nearest cloud car transportation station.
Su Chen is going to take a public long-distance cloud car. Each cloud car transportation station will provide a kind of short-distance shuttle, and passengers who will take the cloud car will be transported to the departure platform of the long-distance cloud car in waves.
Cloud car is a means of transportation in the new era of Bluestar. It is almost equivalent to the car of the old days. However, the power of the cloud car uses a new energy, marspar. Moreover, the cloud car can be driven in the air, in the water, and on the ground, and usually mainly in the suspension of low altitude.
Therefore, as soon as the cloud car was invented, some people exclaimed, and the automobile industry of the old era would come to an end.
However, the price of the cloud car is actually quite not cheap. As a result, in the end, the cloud car only replaced the long-distance public transportation of the old era, such as long-distance buses and trains, as well as some of the functions of airplanes.
In the field of ordinary family cars, cloud cars basically only occupy the high-end market and become a symbol of status for the rich and nobles.
And ordinary people like Su Chen can often only afford to consume ordinary family cars left over from the old era.
The house and car that Su Chen sold before were a civilian youth apartment in the Hive Community, and the car was also a family car that has been handed down from the old era to this day.
These days, Su Chen has been shopping for supplies on a large scale, and he has basically spent all his savings and money from selling cars. The money from selling the house also consumed about a third.
He still had about six or seven hundred thousand star dollars left in his hand.
Well, it seems that my attitude towards spending money is still a bit conservative.
However, this is not without its benefits.
At least when he needs to take the cloud car, he won't be unable to take out Xingyuan to buy a ticket......
Su Chen silently turned all kinds of messy thoughts, and as the "Rejuvenation Jue" worked, he felt more and more a strange feeling of worry.
Is it because you are worried about the coming of the end times? Is it a fear that the end times will be different from my grandfather's prophecy? Is it the fear that you have spent all your possessions and that the end times will not come? There seems to be a little bit of it, and none of them seem to be the real reason.
Su Chen shook his head, wanting to shake off this inexplicable worry. However, there is always a feeling as if something is wrong, and I can't shake it off.
Su Chen raised his head and looked up at the sky, wanting to divert his gaze, maybe because of this, he would get rid of those inexplicable and unclear worries.
The sky was still clear just now, but now it was thick with purple mist.
The purple mist formed one after another, bright and dazzling swirls.
Those whirlpools, spinning and turning, became bigger and bigger, bigger and bigger, and the frequency of rotation became faster and faster, faster and faster, and soon, the whole sky was already covered by this purple fog vortex. Gradually, this mist even began to invade the ground, and around Su Chen, there was hardly anything else to see except for this thick and thick purple fog. Including his own trolley suitcase, as well as the back of his shoulders on his chest, they were all hidden in this deep purple mist.
Su Chen stood up suddenly.
He suddenly remembered what was wrong!
Purple fog! It's this damn purple fog!
Since the first purple fog appeared several months ago, the end of this world has actually begun!
But I am still stupidly dreaming that the end of the world has not yet come, and I can prepare calmly!
All those unreasonable and unconventional places are actually reminders of this new world to themselves, but they have been so dull that they have not discovered anything!
Su Chen recalled all kinds of unreasonable things he encountered from the beginning, and it seemed that every unreasonable thing had a very reasonable explanation, but there were still many loopholes.
First, the first thick fog lasted more than forty days.
During this period, the Blue Star News did not have any major reports about the dense fog!
Many people, including themselves, have been hiding at home and not going out.
So, how does this society, these more than 40 days, work?
Although most companies now have robots as their main employees, there are many jobs that are inseparable from humans.
Why, there have not been any reports of how much economic damage has been caused by the traffic cut-off caused by this purple fog? There weren't even any reports of car accidents? Such an obvious loophole, I didn't even notice it!
Later, I went to the farmer's market to sweep the goods, and when I encountered such a strange thing, I still didn't have a little consciousness!
You know, except for the shroud shop owner who helped him move things, he hasn't seen a living person!
After that, when I went to the supermarket and met the sleeping beast, except for chatting with the sleeping beast for a few words, everyone else was actually sleeping!
Sell a house, and the buyer will be a polite kangaroo in a tuxedo!
In the end, the only martial arts hall owner who interacted and communicated with him and left a lot of supplies for himself was the only living person who could speak, laugh, and eat......
Almost five months have passed in the timeline, and only two living people have been contacted...... Is this normal?
Even if you're a 100% otaku, at least you can see a few neighbors when you walk by, right?
But how many times I first entered the hive community—you must know that the hive community is a civilian youth apartment, which should be a crowded area—and I have never seen other humans other than myself inside and outside the community!
This should be the origin of the vague sense of uneasiness in my heart!
Something is wrong with this world! It's true! It's really wrong!
And my subconscious, probably already aware of this kind of wrongness, has been trying to remind myself all the time.
However, every time, I consciously or unintentionally ignored this reminder and continued to indulge in this single-player game-like scene.
There is also a very obvious vulnerability......
When I called my family, relatives and friends about the end times, I received almost all the answers in the same tone. But that's not in line with their personality at all.
Although it is true that they are the kind of people who do not believe in eschatology, the way they speak is absolutely impossible to be so similar. For example, his father, his most normal reaction should be that when he heard the word "end times" mentioned by himself, he directly dropped his phone coldly. Instead of talking nonsense to yourself for half an hour!
I like to talk nonsense with myself the most, and it's obviously the style of my sworn friend Maizi!
This is also a vulnerability......
Maizi has such a good relationship with herself, how can she not contact herself for five months?
Even if you don't make a phone call or don't use the crystal screen video, at least you will send yourself a few greeting text messages, or send yourself a link on the crystal screen.
At least after the meteor shower, he will definitely make a life-chasing serial call, chasing himself and telling himself what happened around him! You can't listen to it if you don't want to!
Su Chen felt infinite remorse in his heart.
Come to think of it, everything was normal before the first purple fog fell.
But after the first purple fog descended, everything became weird.
It seems that he has been abandoned by the whole world.
Everyone I know and know seems to have lost touch with me.
No, even strangers have lost touch with themselves.
In other words, the connection between himself and all human beings in the whole world has been severed.
