Chapter 2: Reality
"Goo, goo......" Under the unyielding protest of the belly, Yang Xiaohai finally gave in unwillingly. I glanced at the electronic clock, which clearly displayed the time - 9:10 on February 4, 2030.
"Well, I can't sleep anymore." The hungry man has enlightenment. Since he decided to get up, he immediately closed his eyes and began to dress. The life of living alone exercised Yang Xiaohai, so that he slowly opened his eyes after getting dressed, going to the toilet, flushing the toilet, lighting a cigarette, and taking a puff of beauty.
What catches your eye is still the same messy living room. As a senior otaku who has lived alone for more than three years, it is okay to order the redundant skill tree of housework. The light was not very strong, Yang Xiaohai didn't wake up completely after all, and he couldn't lift his spirits lazily. Looking up through the large window of the living room, the sky was still gray and hazy.
"Foggy?" This is occasionally the case in the morning of February in the north. It won't be long before the sun rises and it will dissipate on its own.
Yang Xiaohai touched the kitchen with sleepy eyes, wanting to deal with his stuttering.
Feel it casually and pinch out a small bag of frozen noodles from the refrigerator. Pick up half a pot of water and place the pot on the gas stove. Thinking that it would be appropriate to put a few eggs in his mind, his hand reached out to the seasoning area. Dual-purpose, his eyes drifted downstairs at will.
Unexpectedly, just a casual glance, the hands and feet were stiff and the whole body was cold.
On the snow-covered road, a figure is running. The white flowery figure is dizzy from afar. Take a closer look, good guys! It was an almost naked man; It was actually a woman running almost naked on a February morning in the north!
Savagely snuffing out the cigarette butt, Yang Xiaohai narrowed his eyes. As the man turned his head frequently, he recognized her.
"It's like a supermarket cashier!"
Yang Xiaohai smirked, and he was happy: "Call you crazy, were you beaten by the masters?" ”
It turned out that there was a small supermarket downstairs in his house. The supermarket owner had other livelihoods, so he hired a young couple to live in the store and work part-time. The young couple eats and lives in the supermarket. Young and temperamental, the two often quarrel over trivial matters. In the end, it is not their own business, and the couple always ignore the guests, and they offend people.
Yang Xiaohai didn't have a good impression of the two of them, but he was too lazy to go away, so he had some contact with them. Yang Xiaohai is happy to see her almost streaking. Looking at the panicked and stumbling appearance, it is estimated that my husband is not light.
Yang Xiaohai watched it with relish, and a black shadow flashed on the side of the street.
The black shadow pounced on the woman extremely roughly, and stepped up with one leg!
Although it can't be seen really, it is enough to make Yang Xiaohai stunned: "I'll go, in broad daylight, Lang Lang Qiankun!" Overlord hard bow? It's too rampant, isn't it? ”
Yang Xiaohai sighed as he turned around to get his phone. As an ordinary person, he only has the share of making phone calls.
Suddenly, a numb scalp scream startled the phone in his hand and fell to the ground.
He wanted to dial "911", but the three numbers that were so simple were just not right.
When he was trembling and finally dialed the right number, the "doodoo" busy sound in the microphone continued.
After redialing three times like this, Yang Xiaohai could only put down the phone helplessly.
With a feeling of anxiety and guilt, he sneaked back to the kitchen, trying to take pictures of the suspect's appearance and characteristics with his mobile phone. If there is a black cloth in the future, he will have a correct answer.
With the feelings of "eyewitness", Yang Xiaohai took his mobile phone and went downstairs again:
Shocked, extremely shocked!
In the phone, the woman is lying on her back on the icy snow. The strange man who came out of nowhere is constantly gnawing and biting. The occasional tremor of a woman still shows the tenacity of life.
"Elsie! A real-life version of 'cannibals'! Yang Xiaohai pinched his teeth hard, and cold sweat broke out in his palms.
As a veteran otaku, he immediately reminisced about scenes from the movie. The uneasiness in his heart gradually magnified, making him eager to find out the truth.
Suddenly, he slammed his head, and then flipped up. Soon after, a low-magnification telescope was copied out.
The gaze blessed by the lenses finally pierced through the mist and landed on the street below.
Yang Xiaohai saw that the private car was parked haphazardly and randomly, even if the door was wide open, no one paid attention. Turning the telescope and looking around, there was no one in the field of vision except for the poor woman and the terrifying man!
Suddenly, there was a creaking, tooth-souring sound.
Yang Xiaohai looked back and saw that there was no living thing in the messy room except for him.
Curious, he crept to the door, as if the source of the strange sound was outside the door.
Lying on the door mirror and peeking out cautiously, it was so dark that I couldn't see anything at all!
"Whew......" Yang Xiaohai breathed a long sigh of relief. Scare yourself, you will die too! As soon as my mind relaxed, my breath became thicker. After a while, a series of "creaking" sounds came in, so loud that the voice-activated lights outside the door were lit.
Foaming at the mouth, Yang Xiaohai nodded. Now it's certain that there's something out there! And that thing is scratching at the iron door, desperate to get in!
Yang Xiaohai took out his mobile phone and dialed "911" again.
The series of busy tones of "doodoo" is still persistent.
Half an hour later, the phone was thrown into the messy couch. Flying with the phone, there are also a few short hairs.
Pain can make people concentrate, so Yang Xiaohai has a new research direction: "That's right, news! ”
Plug in your headphones, turn on the TV, and fiddle around with the channels, hoping to find the slightest clue in the fog.
TV shows are still singing and dancing, and even various soap operas are playing normally. I dialed it around, but I couldn't find a single piece of useful information.
"It's okay, I still have a killer weapon - a computer!" In the age of the Internet. Unwilling, Yang Xiaohai sat at the computer desk and began to browse the homepages of major websites. Immediately, the news came into view.
Somao: "Rice hegemony can't bear it!" We issue a final warning to the behavior of 'area blocking, area blocking'! ”
Fa Lang: "The third national company war will not start lightly, even if the United States is in trouble, it will not be enough to start the war." Rather than die together, it is better to sit and talk about the Tao. ”
Fengwang: "Mi Guo is facing a huge breakthrough in biological research. Cancer, AIDS and other serious diseases are expected to be overcome! ”
Du Niang: "The global economic collapse of the earth star is imminent. The world economic winter is coming! ”
Unknown website: "Tremble, the end of the world!" Companies, destroy yourself with your nuclear weapons! ”
There is no concept of a country, and each region is governed and controlled by various large corporations. They have been disturbed by each other, through the slave, feudal and other eras. In the past 200 years, there have been two major wars between companies in various countries, referred to as "World War I" and "World War II". In addition, there have been a series of social behaviors such as the Industrial Revolution in Western companies. Today's earth star, although the undercurrent is surging, is also full of flowers. Companies in various countries are actively building for a better life.
I clicked on an article, but the content was not very bright.
All companies have developed biochemical viruses as the main body of new weapons of war; What kind of biological weapons are living beings after all, and sooner or later they are uncontrollable, etc. Yang Xiaohai could almost smell the uneasiness in the air, but he couldn't catch anything.
In vain I searched the Internet for clues, until my stomach rumbled in protest. Then I remembered that I hadn't eaten breakfast yet! Look at the table, 11:23.
With a push of the keyboard, Yang Xiaohai decided to combine breakfast and lunch into one meal. It's just that between gestures, the movements are inevitably much gentler. The boiling boiling water nourished the debut steam, but Yang Xiaohai pinched the frozen dough and was stunned. A hot droplet hits his arm. "Elsie...... shuddered, and the frozen dough plopped and slipped into its fateful pit. As a result, more hot water droplets vied with each other to kiss Yang Xiaohai. "Hiss ......" took a big step back, but Yang Xiaohai's eyes couldn't help but drift out of the window......
Thanks to the miserly sun, the remaining mist was finally dispelled. Belonging to Huaxia Company, in a small town in the north, a residential community shyly unveiled.
The rows of multi-storey houses are still subservient to Yang Xiaohai's feet. It's just that the billowing black smoke that keeps coming out renders the already low sky in ashes. On the enclosed balconies of some houses, the good glass is scattered. The north wind in February unscrupulously broke into the originally warm home, carrying scraps of paper flying all over the sky. On the asphalt road downstairs, all kinds of vehicles are parked horizontally. Some cars even collided with each other, spitting black smoke together.
The streets, in the corners, were filled with large expanses of unsettling dark red. At the source of red, there are a few twisted figures. Those who fell to the ground had fatal wounds to their heads. The place where the supermarket girl lay down was empty, except for a large pool of piercing red.
Yang Xiaohai swallowed his saliva, and a strong bowel sound sounded in his abdomen. Looking back at the door, it was still calm. With a long sigh of relief, he put down his binoculars, and he was about to start cooking his morning and lunch meals.
Cook the noodles and pass through the water; took out half a salted duck egg from the refrigerator, and ate the leftover half of the ham sausage on the table, Yang Xiaohai puffed out his cheeks but tasted like chewing wax.
"Something must have happened, but why can't the wind blow through it at all? What should I do? Why don't you go out and find out? What the hell is going on downstairs? Yang Xiaohai asked a question, but unfortunately no one answered it.
"Ah......h Pushing the rice bowl, Yang Xiaohai immediately leaned in front of the window and looked down.
Even though it's on the 17th floor, with the help of a telescope, you can still see things clearly. But I saw a middle-aged greasy uncle in red trousers and a bare body, who was running on the asphalt road with bare feet.
The greasy uncle was followed by a large group of strange-shaped, crazy chasing people. Among the chasing men were men and women, all of them baring their teeth and claws, and hissing and screaming.
"Okay, either there's none at all, or a bunch comes out!" Yang Xiaohai muttered to himself.
