Dark cosmic space...... Dotted with fireflies...... Strange sounds and words that do not hear the message clearly......

Zhang Yifei had a strange dream all night, and when the second day came, all the dreams dissipated, and he got up early in the morning. The dream was mostly forgotten at the moment of awakening, and after changing his clothes and hanging his beard at home, he called Xue Zi - the other party also got up early, earlier than him, and the urgency of the end made him start his business before dawn.

"Yo! Lao Zhang! Xue Zi was very enthusiastic when he heard Zhang Yifei's voice, "It's okay, it's all out!" The relationship is hard enough! What, come to me? ”

"Okay, give me an address."

"Wufu Road Grain Reserve Depot, hurry up, come and call me!"

"Hmm." After Zhang Yifei got up, he drove to the car - the modified Tiguan had been damaged, and the car was not heard from after he didn't know who towed it away - he thought that it was probably taken away by the director when he was helping to do the scene, and he didn't want to know what was going on.

But fortunately, there was an old Jetta in the garage, and after getting in the car, he went all the way to Wufu Road.

The streets were even more chaotic as he passed—along the way, he saw three fights, a dozen quarrels, and a student tour that he hadn't seen once in the past year. Yes.

Those who believe in the coming of the end are more irritable, the binding force of the law is getting weaker and weaker in the face of the oppression of death, and the patience among strangers is very low, and they are prone to shouting and killing. Most of the quarrels arise between families, between parents and children, stubborn persistence and helpless explanations, and finally turn into endless arguments.

On the whole, however, society is in a stable state, and there is no large-scale chaos and conflict. After all, at this stage, the group that dominates this world is still people over 40 years old - and this group of people has not been very receptive to this kind of rumors coming from the Internet, not to mention that this kind of "doomsday rumors" have been "wolf" twice, and they will always sound so nonsense.

With what he saw along the way, Zhang Yi flew to the place where he made an appointment with Xue Zi on Wufu Road, where there was a food processing factory and a grain storage warehouse, and Xue Zi was leading a group of people in front of him to collect something.

"Yo, here!" Zhang Yifei just got out of the car here, and Xue Zi put down the account book in his hand and greeted him, his face full of enthusiasm, "How are we here?" ”

Xue Zi walked to Zhang Yifei's side, pointed to a tractor that came out of the grain reserve and whispered: "The wheat here in our closed city is all harvested in autumn, and now we can't get grain when we go to the town and the countryside in the summer, it's all old grain." ”

"Oh." Zhang Yifei nodded--the National Grain Reserve sells old grain every year.

The so-called stale grain is the kind of grain that was purchased several years ago and then stored in the grain depot to prevent famine. This kind of grain must not be stored forever, every three or five years, even if the means of preservation are good, the grain will begin to rot and grow insects, and it must be disposed of as soon as possible -- of course, this is a circular system, where old grain is sold, and new grain will come in the treasury there, and it will be circulated.

"The stale grain is now poured out and then made into vacuum-packed food with strong preservatives." Xue Zi pointed to another food processing factory as he spoke, "There was no such technology in it, but in the past few days, I have invested in new equipment, and the sealing and preservation technology is first-class, and I can make that kind of tasteless compressed biscuits, which can be eaten for ten or twenty years." ”

"This is a bone ......," Zhang Yifei looked at the tractor coming out of the national grain reserve, "If you want to empty out the old grain, it has to be related." ”

"Who's to say it isn't! But there are people on top of us, so let's eat a small head, and the big head belongs to someone else. Xue Zi bared his teeth as he spoke, "But don't underestimate this, although we don't have many benefits, but we win in the system, after the end comes, those who enter the system can live for a long time." ”

Xue Zi saw it very thoroughly.

"Come on, come on, I won't tell you, come and help." While Xue Zi was talking, another tractor came out of it, and he patted Zhang Yifei on the shoulder twice to signal to follow him, "There have been a lot of troubles here recently, and most of them are those students, shouting those messy slogans of sharing resources and fair treatment, annoying." The fools I have under my hands. There are few people who can shake the field, there are not enough people, and you just came here. ”

Quietly, Xue Zi brought Zhang Yifei into his own system, and the process was without traces, and it didn't make people feel embarrassed at all.

Most of those who can get to this point with a reckless background have brains.

Zhang Yifei prepared with both hands, and also took a day to understand his system and operation here - of course, as Xue Zi said, there were indeed a few troublemakers here during the day, but after the leader was thrown out after he broke his arm, the scene calmed down.

It wasn't until after dark at eight o'clock that the place was ready to call it a day. At the end of the day, a big man came-the director of the Municipal Food Bureau-because this guy is not as often on TV as the director of the public security bureau, his identity was only known to Zhang Yifei after Xue Zi reminded him.

He came to see how this side is working, and this person is Xue Zi's backer.

However, after he came over, the first thing he saw was not the operation of the grain on his side, but stared at Zhang Yifei, with a slight surprise in his eyes.

What was even more surprising was Zhang Yifei -- like the director of the public security bureau, the director of the grain bureau also had a familiar feeling.

"It's all bug-infested people?" Zhang Yifei finally determined some thoughts in his heart, and then he saw the surprise in the eyes of the director of the grain bureau, although he didn't know why this "kind" would work here, and he didn't understand why there was no such person a few days ago, and he suddenly joined today, but he still politely greeted Zhang Yifei, and then said: "Tomorrow's thing, don't forget!" ”

"Hahaha, you know each other!" Seeing this situation, Xue Zi came over to interrupt, and after the director smiled, he also diverted the topic to work.

Zhang Yifei was left alone, and a storm was set off in his heart - if this is the case in every city, do the bugs want to occupy the top level? And what the hell is going on tomorrow? He only wanted to have a private meeting with the director of the public security bureau with him, but he never thought that the director of the food bureau would be the same, was this a large-scale meeting?

When Zhang Yifei was full of thoughts in his heart, the director arranged the work for the next period of time and left.

"Dude, the relationship is hard!" After sending off the director, it was already dark, and Xue Zi left nearly twenty strong men to watch the scene. Then he pulled Zhang Yifei to drink, "Let's go, I know a shop, the mutton roast is oily, the thief is delicious, after a while, it's really messy, we don't have this mouthful, hurry up and enjoy it." ”

As Xue Zi spoke, he led Zhang Yifei and three or four leaders, and drove his business to a nearby roasted whole sheep store. At this time, most of the commercial system in the city was still operating, and the five people, including Xue Zi, were all big men, and after coming to the store and ordering the portions of a dozen people, they asked for six bottles of liquor and a case of beer.

Between the wine tables, it is naturally a process of getting to know each other and boasting about each other, which is a common means of enhancing feelings.

One and a half pounds of liquor per person, four or five bottles of beer, a table of people except Zhang Yifei are a little unconscious, after the wine and food are full, Xue Zi hugged everyone to go to the bathing center for great health care, but tomorrow because there are important things to consider, Zhang Yifei said "next time", and then in the contemptuous ridicule of a group of people, the stall dispersed.

After the stall was dispersed, Zhang Yifei walked all the way back to drive - it was not far from the food factory, it was faster to take the road, and he wanted to think about something.

As for whether he would go tomorrow or not - according to his speculation in the past few days, especially after meeting the director of the food bureau today, he had something certain in his mind - that bug was probably an alien creature. After all, after watching science fiction movies for so many years, Zhang Yifei is not as pedantic and obsessed with the original social cognition as the protagonist of the apocalyptic novel movie, and he still has the basic ability to speculate.

This bug is likely to be a native species of a meteorite or planet in the dust cloud, and it is unknown how it came and then parasitized the human body.

And it looks like they can take over not only the human body, but even everything in the human brain - including knowledge and memory. These bugs seem to be very organized, disciplined, and very skilled in dealing with the apocalypse, and many of the upper echelons of humanity are also parasitized.

This is a very terrifying alien species - and they seem to have taken the parasitic failed Zhang Yifei by default as one of their companions - which can also reasonably explain why the prison disaster incident a few days ago can be solved so easily, and it can also clarify the attitude of the public security chief, and let Zhang Yifei speculate that their power is not only what Zhang Yifei saw.

And he finally figured out why he chose tomorrow in an inaccessible place.

…………

Because it was not a private meeting at all, but a large meeting - a large meeting of all the parasitic people, gathered together to discuss big things.

An abandoned school in the suburbs that is off the beaten track and can accommodate a lot of people - it's a perfect fit!

It can not only hide people's eyes, but also make the meeting run smoothly.

"Are you going tomorrow or not?" Zhang Yifei has been struggling with this question for a long time - especially after making some thoughts in his heart.

He is now faced with three choices: first, go. But after going, he didn't know if he would show his flaws, after all, there was a dead man with a hole in his head at the scene of his crime, and if someone found out, he couldn't help but doubt his identity, and when the time came, he didn't even die in the face of so many "kinds" with super combat power.

Second, don't go. But if he doesn't, he completely loses the opportunity to fit in and get to know them. It is even possible to be directly put on the "blacklist", killed if encountered, and even "wanted". At that time, he didn't know how much human power the other party had, but the police alone - after all, he was also actually charged with murder, so he didn't have much place in this city. Coupled with the existence of parasites, there is not much way for him to survive in that dark area, even if he is very lucky to dodge, then when the end comes, he will fall into absolute passivity.

Third, don't go and expose the parasite's affairs. There are two ways to be exposed, one is anonymous exposure on the Internet. This kind of efficiency and credibility rate are relatively low, after all, the rumors of the coming end are not accepted by the public, and under such a "hot" thing, it is difficult for other things to attract attention, and it is unrealistic for information about parasites to spread completely for more than two months. And even if it is taken seriously in the future, there will be no return and compensation in the near future, and it will even be tracked by "people" with technology.

In addition to the Internet exposure, you have to do it with your real name, but the local high-level doesn't know how much is parasitic, and the other places don't know, maybe he found a human "high-level", but the "higher-level" of this "high-level" is a parasite, and then the news is intercepted and can't be disseminated, and he will also be wanted.

The most important thing is that even if the human high-level is clean, who will believe a "unverifiable" news, and if you want to confirm it, you have to confirm it yourself to be convincing, and then his parasitic identity is exposed, then who will believe an enemy, a parasite? Take 10,000 steps back, even if you believe it, then he is also the first batch of guinea pigs.

Therefore, Zhang Yifei is faced with three choices - but it is a trilemma, one wrong step, and there is no turning back.

Carrying these messy thoughts, Zhang Yifei weighed the pros and cons, and entered a small alley again, and then saw a person at the other end of the corner, and the two looked at each other at a distance of about 20 meters, and Zhang Yifei once again had a familiar feeling.

"Another one?" He just wanted to raise his arm to say "friendly" hello to the other party, but he was alert to find that the other party secretly took out a handful of black things from his arms, and then quickly raised his arm, and the fire flared.

With a "whoosh", Zhang Yifei felt a pain in his face, and blood spurted out of his mouth.
