Chapter 1: Awakening
In the golden autumn of October, the sky is high and the clouds are light, the sun is about to rise to the middle of the sky, but the Yellow City is quiet as if it is still sleeping.
A bird with a wingspan of two meters descended from the wind and landed on the top of the eye-catching signboard of the First Central Hospital of Quincy District. I don't know if I was admiring the pigeon-like figure reflected in the glass or the scene behind the glass, but I stayed for a while, and then I flapped my wings and left after some intermittent 'cooing' sounds of unknown meaning.
In the special intensive care observation room on the 23rd floor of the Central Hospital, a young patient is lying on the bed, and a medical record is placed at his feet:

……
The body is filled with tubes of different thicknesses and colorful cables, and there are more than a dozen kinds of instruments parked around the hospital bed, some of which are not necessarily matched in top medical research institutes.
However, such a cutting-edge instrument is not in working condition, more precisely, none of the instruments are running, and it looks like the power cords are well connected, but the power-on indicator is not on.
The patient on the hospital bed was completely alive, and his breathing could not be heard in the quiet of the room, and his chest could not be seen rising and falling, as if he had been dead for a long time.
Suddenly, the patient's eyes opened, his eyes were not focused, his expression was distorted and his mouth was wide open, as if he wanted to scream, but as if he was choked by a pair of invisible hands. The whites of his eyes were quickly congested, and his skin was rapidly turning red; The neck, sideburns, forehead, blood vessels, and green tendons bulged out, followed by spasmodic convulsions of the limbs......
Extreme torture tormented the patient, the hospital gown, and even the bed sheets were soon wet with sweat oozing under the skin, time passed minute by minute, and the torture showed no signs of stopping or slowing down, the instinct of life made the patient subconsciously hiss, but could not get any help, he could only rely on himself now, fend for himself or destroy himself!
Like a suffocating person suddenly getting a chance to breathe, the sound of a violent, sustained inhalation sounded as if it were coming from deep underground. "Huh...... Ahem...... Woo woo...... "During this long inhalation, he came to life as if he had rekindled the fire of life.
Miao Pu struggled to sit up from the bed.
His desire to say something seemed to be blocked by the hose in his mouth, and his confused, dazed, and anxious eyes gradually focused.
The outside daylight filtered in through the cracks in the blinds, and it was very dazzling, and it took me a while to squint my eyes to adjust to the light inside.
Shaking his head, he reflexively raised his arm, and a tingling pain further cleared his eyes.
Looking at the infusion needle inserted in his hand, the infusion bottle hanging on the infusion stand was half a bottle of dark red blood, frowning and pulling out the needle in his hand, moving his fingers, and pulling out a small half-meter-long hose from his mouth with difficulty, followed by a violent cough and strong vomiting that tossed him to death.
gradually calmed down all kinds of discomfort, took off all kinds of sticky and plugged pipes and cables on his body, and he was already sweating like pulp and wheezing like a dog after a toss......
First, there is a thin tube inserted in the second child, and there is a bag attached to it, which is full of liquid and golden in color......
Second, his backyard Jumen also took the pipe at this moment......
"Uh, what's wrong......"
"Doctor, doctor...... Anyone doesn't have one...... Come on......" shouted for a long time and didn't see a figure, so he turned his heart sideways, took out the strands and was stunned, and pulled the pipe behind him slowly with his hand.
For a long time, his expression was like that of an insulted Miao Pu, his cheeks were crimson, the tip of his nose was sweaty, and his breathing was getting rapid. It's just that......
He was currently holding his hands on the side of the bed, his buttocks were cocked, his features were rarely closer than usual, and heavy breathing and snorting came from his nose.
Miao Pu frowned, staring directly at the small thin tube inserted in his brother's head, as if he was thinking about something, he frowned violently for a while, feeling like a strong man was dying, and gently supported the second child with his hand, "Brother can't stand you......"
Wishes are always good, reality is always cruel, with trembling moans and trilling panting, he gave up the idea of trying to get the tube out, as if he was stuck in something and couldn't get it out.
"No, it's just a few bites from a wolf, do you want to make such a big deal?" Faced with all kinds of instruments around his hospital bed, some of which he couldn't guess what they were doing, he was obviously not lightly struck. He muttered and moved his left hand, but he didn't notice any discomfort. Although the gauze on it was not removed, I instinctively felt that it was not a big problem.
Struggling to get out of the hospital bed, he looked at the bag filled with liquid in the tray with a bitter and hateful face, "Catheterization? ......After a helpless sigh, he pinched the edge in disgust and picked up the bag from the tray to observe, and found that there was a stopper at the end of the bag that could be twisted and went straight to the bathroom.
Smelling the rich air in the hospital that I can't tell what it smells, I walked to the window and prepared to open the window to let it out, and the result was ......
Miao Pu was stunned, and the scene from the window was empty streets, chaotic and dilapidated shops, scattered vehicles, and black smoke from the hazy buildings in the distance......
"What's the situation with this swollen ......" Miao Pu's brain instantly crashed as he muttered.
The city seemed to have experienced some kind of catastrophe, and at the same time felt a deadly silence, and at the moment the city was quietly dead.
