Chapter 1: The Beginning of the Mutation

"Huh-" Ren Wei wrapped the bath towel, came out of the bathroom, stretched his waist greatly, then changed into shorts and T-shirt, pulled his slippers to the front of the computer, re-verified the manuscript written today, and after confirming that there was no omission, he got up and went to the refrigerator to take out a beer, opened it and poured a big sip hard, and then returned to the computer to open the communication software and chat with Yu Shuangyue, one of his best friends.

"Please, my future great writer, I just got to work here, I'm very busy, can you not always bubble at this time." Sure enough, as soon as the greeting message was sent, Yu Shuangyue's complaint was immediately replied.

"Don't talk nonsense, if you're really busy, you won't have time to reply. Besides, I don't know about you, you are like a human spirit, and you have been called out for tiring work a long time ago, and you can still be trapped? Ren Wei sprayed back very disdainfully.

In the video, Yu Shuangyue smiled and said proudly: "Don't slander me, you know that you have to distribute the work reasonably, complete it efficiently, and learn a lot, I am doing mental work, and I want to put aside the emperor in ancient times, and the evaluation of 'knowing people and making good use of them' must not have run away." ”

Ren Wei knew that Yu Shuangyue was telling the truth, but when he saw the stinky fart of his dead friend, he couldn't help but hit it. However, Yu Shuangyue seemed to guess what Ren Wei wanted to say next, so he immediately changed the topic and asked, "How is the progress of the novel creation?" It looks very pleasant! Shouldn't you be traveling in the mountains and rivers in the name of collecting wind? ”

As soon as Ren Wei heard this, his attention was immediately diverted, and he retorted: "Bah, am I such a careless person? ”

"It's quite like, the four of us are left with you and you don't have a family, the people who run for three, and the object is not looking for one, and there are still dreams in your mouth, in addition to going to work in the club is to conceive your novel, and you don't give up after countless rejections, this time it's even more unreliable, taking advantage of the club's off-season, I even asked for leave to go abroad to find inspiration, I tell you......"

"Stop, stop." Ren Wei hurriedly stopped the conversation before Yu Shuangyue's words taught him were like the water of the Yangtze River, which was out of control. "I'm all here, it's useless to say that, it's better to wish me success this time."

"Well, I wish you success!" Yu Shuangyue said lazily.

"No sincerity at all, despise you." Ren Wei made an international gesture to his sworn friend.

Yu Shuangyue sighed and said, "You, me, Shan He, Zheng Wende, the four of us have known each other since junior high school, and we all know that you have this hobby, and we have always supported you, but hobbies and ** do not mean talent." Seriously, you can persist for so many years, I admire it in my heart, after all, in an impetuous society, there are not many people who dare to chase their dreams, and you have a stable job, at least take the road you must take, and then go the way you want to go, instead of blindly idealism. Speaking of this, Yu Shuangyue took a sip of tea from his cup. However, as time goes by, it is no longer enough to be able to support yourself, you have to think about more, including parents, family, etc., if at that time you are still only thinking about chasing your dreams, you are too selfish. Some bonds can't afford to wait, and I hope you will realize this and not regret your decision in the future. ”

Ren Wei was stunned, the usual hip-hop friend suddenly said such serious words, which made him a little unable to react for a while, he only felt as if he had woken up from a dream, only to notice that the people around him had changed too much, and it was already very different from the impression in his mind.

Yu Shuangyue was a little worried when he saw Ren Wei's daze, and said in a relaxed tone: "What, doesn't it feel like an initiation!" Needless to say, thank you, just pay some tuition. ”

Ren Wei smiled after hearing this, and replied: "Okay, go back and invite you to dinner, let's talk about this today, and I will go out to collect wind tomorrow." ”

Yu Shuangyue saw that Ren Wei really didn't have any interest, so he replied: "Okay, I want to eat the signature private dishes of 'Yijia Kitchen', don't be reluctant to bleed then." ”

"Okay, got it, get out of here and get busy with your business!" After hearing this, Ren Wei scolded back with a smile.

Ren Wei, who had finished the communication, sat in his chair, recalling what Yu Shuangyue had just said, so that he was so distracted that he didn't notice that before he turned off the computer, the icon indicating the network signal had already shown that it was in an interrupted state. After sitting for another five minutes, Ren Wei looked at the alarm clock on the table, 23 o'clock, at this time, the parents on the other side of the ocean should be preparing breakfast. After thinking about it, Ren Wei took out his mobile phone and dialed the number at home, who knew that the phone was put to his ear, and there was no sound in it, Ren Wei took the phone back in front of him and looked at it: the mobile phone has no signal! After muttering "strange", Ren Wei didn't take it to heart, and decided to call again the next morning, then threw the phone next to the pillow, lay on the bed, and fell asleep after a while.

However, Ren Wei did not sleep steadily, he felt that there were noisy sounds constantly surrounding his ears in his sleep, and finally he opened his eyes irritable, ready to drink beer again to help sleep. But before he could get to the kitchen, he realized that something was wrong, for the cacophony did not only not disappear with his wakefulness, but became clearer and clearer.

Ren Wei felt a thrill in his heart, although Hurricane Town has a beautiful environment, it is not a tourist attraction, and even because the road is difficult, few people know about it. He came here by accident, and on a popular adventure site, he saw a fellow traveler talk about his experience in Hurricane Town. At that time, he took a fancy to this kind of quiet town that is rare in China and can get close to nature. What's more, the traveler also vaguely mentioned that there had been a mysterious incident near this town, and even the day before he left, he saw a meteorite fall nearby, but unfortunately he didn't have enough time, so he could only go to that direction to look roughly, and in the absence of any discovery, he reluctantly left with regret. This made Ren Wei more interested in Hurricane Town, and finally set his travel destination here.

"Such a closed and conservative town, people's lives are generally very regular, and now it is not a festival, so there will be no such thing as running outside to carnival in the middle of the night, unless ......" As soon as he thought of this, Ren Wei rushed to the balcony and pushed open the window, and the sound was heard more clearly, as if someone was making trouble.

The place where the voice came from didn't sound very far from where Ren Wei lived, but it wasn't located on the street where Ren Wei could see, and there were several buildings blocking his vision, so he couldn't see what was going on, maybe people who lived on the upper floors could see more of the situation. At this time, there were already many people downstairs who walked out into the street to ask each other.

At this time, the shrill siren sounded from far and near, Ren Wei could vaguely see the flashing of the roof lights of the police car at the intersection, it seemed that a police officer had come to the scene, Ren Wei breathed a sigh of relief, such a town, as soon as the police appeared, the incident would most likely subside. Most of the people downstairs thought the same way, even if they wanted to talk more tomorrow, it was not worth sacrificing their night's rest, so they walked back, only a few young people, secretly escaped from the eyes of their parents, found familiar friends, and wanted to find out.

Ren Wei was also about to close the window to sleep, but he didn't expect that at this time, what was originally just a noisy noise turned into a miserable howl and screaming. The goosebumps all over Ren Wei's whole body rose when he heard the miserable howl, his originally relaxed mood became tense again, and the residents downstairs who were originally going to disperse also stopped and guessed what happened again.

"Bang! Bang, bang, bangβ€”"

The sound of the crowd commotion immediately reached the ears of the people around him, Ren Wei immediately realized that it was a gunshot, and the others obviously reacted, and suddenly, the people downstairs ran home.

The crowd quickly dispersed, ran home and closed the doors and windows, and the gunfire not far away began to become dense. Ren Wei subconsciously grasped the window frame with both hands, and then he calmed his breathing, thinking about whether he should pack his luggage in order to deal with the unknown emergency. Unexpectedly, there was an explosion, and the flames soared into the sky, and then the gunfire suddenly thinned out. Ren Wei was so frightened that he stepped back from the window, sat down on the ground with an unstable footing, and after being stunned for two or three seconds, there were sporadic gunshots to wake him up, Ren Wei quickly jumped from the ground to the window, glanced out of the window, and then immediately returned to the house, went to the closet to find his coat and put it on, took out his documents and wallet from his pocket with both hands and checked it roughly, then rushed to the table, grabbed the notebook and stuffed it into his bag, and finally ran to the bedside and picked up his mobile phone, and grabbed the door.

In the corridor, several families living opposite also seemed to be awakened, but they didn't know what was going on, and they poked their heads out of the door in a bit of a daze, asking each other. These people saw Ren Wei running out of the room in a panic, so they were ready to step forward to ask something, but Ren Wei didn't want to delay at all, the reason why he ran so quickly was because after the explosion, when he looked at the intersection again, the flash of the roof light of the police car he saw just now had disappeared, so it seemed that most of the explosions were police cars. As for the sound of gunshots later, who fired the gun Ren Wei felt that it didn't matter anymore, because after the first round of confrontations, on the surface, it seemed that the police had lost the upper hand, so whether it was police reinforcements or the people who made trouble fled, it would definitely expand the scope of the impact, you must know that the police car exploded in less than two minutes, and it is not too much for the culprit to say that it was a terrorist, not to mention that he had already seen the fire at the corner of the street getting bigger, and the panicked crowd running in this direction from the street, which clearly means that the situation has intensified, the police have no control over the situation for the time being.

In this case, if it weren't for the bad luck of letting the bandits blow up their houses, the local residents generally chose to hide at home, but Ren Wei felt that he could easily stay away from the center of the incident in a very short time by traveling lightly, and he also took into account that he was now renting a small apartment on the third floor of a building facing the street, which was a relatively easy height to be injured by mistake at the moment. Therefore, Ren Wei chose to take it as the best policy, thinking that this would avoid being involved in troublesome incidents to the greatest extent. It's just that Ren Wei didn't know at this time that he was destined to get involved in even greater trouble.

Ren Wei didn't run a few steps, was stopped by a few local residents who walked out of the door, Ren Wei said "borrow light, borrow light", while squeezing to the elevator, press the waiting button, but when I looked at the location of the elevator, it was all above the fifteenth floor, and the highest one was still parked on the top floor. Ren Wei cursed secretly in his heart, and was about to take the stairs, but he didn't want the residents behind him to surround him at this time. Seeing this, Ren Wei felt that it was better to explain it objectively, although he himself thought that staying on the other side of the building would not have any effect, as for how these residents decided after listening to his words, it was their own business.

So Ren Wei said: "There was a shootout at the Wende intersection, I saw the police car exploding and catching fire, and some frightened people were running in this direction, I don't know more information, I am ready to leave here now." After speaking, Ren Wei didn't wait for people's reactions, pushed aside the people who surrounded him and ran into the stairwell. The others were attracted by the news provided by Ren Wei, and no one saw the number indicating the location of the elevator on the top floor, which suddenly flashed between 32 and 31.

Because of a short delay, Ren Wei sped up when he went downstairs, taking three steps and two steps down, and when he reached the downstairs and pushed the door open, Ren Wei was stunned, and what was in front of him was not the street in his impression, but a parking lot. Looking at both sides, Ren Wei, who reacted, patted his head. "Really, in a hurry, I ran through! But it's okay, go out along the exit of the parking lot, and it's directly another street, which is more convenient! Ren Wei walked to the exit without going far, when he heard a woman's panicked shout on the other side of the opposite exit of the parking lot.

"Husband, how are you? Don't scare me! After a moment, the woman began to cry for help: "Is there anyone?" Help us! ”

At the same time, there was a sound of "da, da" after the high heels hit the ground, and with the sound, a tall woman with blond hair and blue eyes ran out from the back of a row of cars, turned her head, just saw Ren Wei, and hurriedly shouted: "Sir, my husband is suddenly sick, I just called the emergency number, but now he suddenly lost consciousness and began to spasm, can you help me?" ”

Ren Weixin said: What's going on tonight? How did things all come together? But since you have a sudden illness, let's help! By the way, I can drive them to the hospital and kill two birds with one stone!

Thinking of this, Ren Wei turned around and walked in the direction of the blonde, before he could say hello to the blonde, a loud sound of a heavy object falling to the ground startled him, and following the reputation, Ren Wei found that the source of the loud noise was the place where he had just gone downstairs, and at this time a large cloud of dust had been stirred up, and there was a seeping howl.

Here Ren Wei didn't understand what was going on, and he heard the blonde's scream, turned his head to see that three sharp objects pierced the woman's body, and before Ren Wei could come back to his senses to see what it was, the spikes retracted, and then a scene that made Ren Wei's hair stand up appeared, a half-human-long big paw poked out, grabbed the crumbling blonde, and dragged it into the back of the car that Ren Wei couldn't see. Then, a chilling chewing sound rang out in the parking lot.

Ren Wei only felt a "bang" in his head, and he ran desperately out of the parking lot like crazy.
