When the fog spread rapidly, Liu Hualiang was chatting with his colleague Mu Baifei.

As two people who also studied abroad, then settled down with American citizenship, and finally even became colleagues, in a predominantly white company, the two naturally walked together.

has a similar experience, they are both compatriots, and they are programmers, probably the only difference between the two is that Liu Hualiang has married a local American wife, while Mu Baifei has remained single so far.

"Why is there a traffic jam today?"

The vehicles that blocked the whole street made Mu Baifei, who was sitting in the passenger seat, very bored, and after playing with his mobile phone, he found that the car had not moved much distance, and he was very dissatisfied.

"Maybe there was a car accident ahead, right?"

The city of Sant Annu has a suitable environment and good transportation infrastructure, and it has been two years since he came to work here, and it is the first time that Liu Hualiang has encountered a traffic jam at night.

"By the way, is my sister-in-law still angry with you?"

Chewing gum, Mu Baifei turned his head to look at Liu Hualiang.

"Well, she might need a little more time."

"Actually, you really should have a child, after all, you have been married for two years, and your sister-in-law and your jobs have stabilized, no more children, seeing that both of you are going to go to thirty."

"I also understand Aini's thoughts, she is now on the rise in her career, and it is normal not to want children...... It's just my parents, you know the ideas of the older generation. ”

sighed, Liu Hualiang, who was between his parents and his wife, was also very embarrassed.

"So, either offend your parents or your sister-in-law, Brother Liu...... Marriage is really a man's grave, how good it is for us programmers to be single alone, you have been retributed. ”

"Don't blame me for the resentment that you can't find a girlfriend."

Angrily opening Mu Baifei's hand, Liu Hualiang was just about to say a few more words, when his eyes suddenly moved, but he found the fog rolling in front of him.

"Hey, look ahead!"

Liu Hualiang was startled and pointed out of the windshield and said.

"Huh?"

Mu Baifei looked in the direction pointed by Liu Hualiang, and just a hundred meters away from the highway blocked by vehicles, a white mist like a sandstorm rolled over, quickly flooding the highway and the surrounding street lights, and spread towards this side.

"W—Where is this fog?"

Mu Baifei was surprised, he had never seen a fog that spread so quickly, let alone on a hot summer night, how could there be natural conditions to generate such a large fog?

Before the two of them came back to their senses, the surging fog covered their surroundings, and in the blink of an eye, the surrounding left and right were already full of thick white fog, and the front of the headlights could only see the rear license plate of the vehicle in front, and the front half of the car a little further up was actually submerged in the fog, completely invisible.

Such a thick fog is really amazing.

Fog with horizontal visibility of less than 50 meters is called strong dense fog and already needs a red warning, but the horizontal visibility of this level of fog in front of you is probably less than 5 meters, which means that a person standing five meters away may not be able to see him.

"It's too foggy, isn't it?"

Mu Baifei stuck his head out of the car window, looked back and forth, and found that he could hardly see anything other than the fog.

"Well, this fog is a bit weird."

It's as weird as the snowfall in June, and it's the first time in Liu Hualiang's life that he has seen such a strong fog, and he can't figure out where this fog came from.

At this moment, the ground suddenly shook slightly, the car shook for a while, and as soon as the two of them were shocked, the shock had disappeared, as if the shock that had just happened was just an illusion.

"Damn, it couldn't have been an earthquake just now, was it?" Mu Baifei was shocked.

"It's kind of like an earthquake."

Liu Hualiang had a calm face, but his eyes were on the car radio, after the vibration just now, the car radio that was still playing a slight broadcast seemed to be out of order, and there was only the white noise of "Boom".

After thinking about it, Liu Hualiang stretched out his hand and mobilized several frequencies of the broadcast in a row, but none of the familiar voices appeared, and all of them fell into white noise.

"Hey, why did the street lights stop?"

In Mu Baifei's surprised tone, the street lights on both sides of the road flickered a few times, and then fell into darkness.

If a second ago, there was a thick white fog around the surroundings under the illumination of the street lights, then when the street lights disappeared, except for the front illuminated by the car lights, the surrounding area was instantly shrouded in darkness. It was as if the whole city had been reduced to nothing before their eyes.

"Is it really an earthquake?" Mu Baifei can only think so.

The noisy sound sounded outside the car, and the rest of the car owners were more confused than the two, and some car owners who couldn't hold back opened the car door and got out of the car, passed by Mu Baifei, and shouted "earthquake" loudly.

Some people also took out their mobile phones and started calling the police.

A strong white man standing outside the door of Mu Baifei's car shouted with a mobile phone: "No signal!" ”

Hearing him shout, Liu Hualiang and Mu Baifei also quickly took out their mobile phones, and sure enough, as the white strong man said, the mobile phones of the two also showed that they were not in the service area.

Although the suburbs of American cities often appear outside the service area, it can be seen that this is near the city center, not far from the high-tech area, and recently Google has introduced a super network project in the city of Santo Anou, and the whole city is basically covered with 1Gbps wireless network.

But now, Liu Hualiang found that not only did he not have the base station signal provided by the mobile phone operator, but he could not find Google's wireless network when he searched for wireless networks...... Could it be that the earthquake caused a city-wide power outage and a network outage?

"Boom ......"

A flash of thick lightning broke through the thick fog in the sky, startling both of them.

"What the hell is going on here? Another earthquake and a power outage. ”

In this era of highly developed Internet, without access to the Internet, all people seem to have become blind and deaf, and can only wait blankly for help that will come at a loss.

For the city of St. Annu, this is the first time since the city was founded that a natural disaster such as an earthquake has occurred, and it is not known whether the relevant emergency departments have the experience to deal with it.

"Don't worry, the call should come later, there may already be someone working on the repair."

In such a natural disaster, the first thing the relevant departments must do is to restore communications, otherwise the relevant rescue will not be able to be carried out, and people may panic, and it may cause a greater secondary disaster.

"Brother Liu, I'll go down and take a look."

Without waiting for Liu Hualiang to answer, Mu Baifei had already pulled the car door and got out of the car.

Both sides of the vehicle were already full of owners or passengers, everyone was discussing what was going on, and the sudden fog in front of them made many people a little uneasy.

The power outage and the lack of Internet and mobile phone signals have gradually increased this uneasiness.

Fortunately, some people believe that it was just a small earthquake, and even if it caused a communication failure, it seems that there were no casualties. That means it's not too bad.

"Do you think the fog will lift tonight?"

Sticking his head into the car, Mu Baifei sighed.

"Probably not."

"So we're going to stay here all night?"

Mu Baifei said: "The ghost knows when the clogged vehicle will be completed. ”

When everything was fine before, it was blocked for more than ten minutes and it was not done, and together with the fog, it was suspected that there was an earthquake that caused a power outage and no signal, and Mu Baifei, who did not report hope for the efficiency of the Americans, had a little headache.

Hearing Mu Baifei say this, Liu Hualiang hesitated, it is definitely not okay to leave the car here like this, who can be sure that it will be processed in a few hours, and if the owner cannot be found, those bastards will 100% tow the car away and make him pay a high fee for violations.

"Wait a little longer."

"Okay then, you stay in the car, keep an eye on your car, I'll go ahead and have a look...... Seeing the go, it must be a good thing done by some guy who doesn't obey the traffic rules. ”

"Well, I'll stay here, come back and tell me what's going on."

Liu Hualiang nodded and did not object.

In fact, not only him, but many anxious car owners have already walked forward, and many people are walking in the middle of the jammed vehicles, just to see the reason for the blockage in front.

"Ah......h

It's a pity that after only a few steps, an exclamation suddenly sounded. (To be continued.) )
