At dawn, at eight o'clock in the morning, the fire was brought under control. Li Chun'an went to the chemical plant that exploded last night with some uneasiness. The fire brigade had not yet completely evacuated, and there was a scorching smell in the air mixed with the pungent smell of toxic chemical gases. Li Chun'an stood on the unfinished building, holding a telescope and saw a pothole in the chemical plant from a distance, I don't know if it was caused by a landslide, many buildings and pipelines in the chemical plant were damaged and distorted, as if they were ...... There's a huge brute bull with crazy hair going on a rampage in here.

The translucent giant flashed in Li Chun'an's mind.

At 10 a.m., Li Chun'an sat in a breakfast shop eating noodles while the morning news on the television broadcast last night's chemical plant bombing.

"It is reported that last night a chemical plant exploded in the suburbs of our city, according to the staff's investigation, it was found that the chemical factory illegally excavated the basement underground, resulting in a ground collapse, which later caused a chemical explosion. For details, please see our reporter's report......"

"Holy shit, how polluting this chemical plant exploded, this air pollution is terrifying."

"That is to say, the boss of the dog day also makes black money, digging the basement illegally, and so many people are killed at once, how can he go to jail."

"Jail? I think it's cheaper to shoot him. ”

The people around him were discussing, and Li Chunan pondered the host's words, "Is there an explosion caused by the collapse?" ”

……

Inside the conference room

A middle-aged man frowned and said in a calm voice, "The theme of this conference is the response to the increasingly frequent emergence of huge creatures around the world. The meeting begins"

A young man with glasses opened the file in front of him, stood up, and said with a serious face, "I sent a copy of this file to everyone before the meeting, and according to the investigation of our intelligence department, there seems to be no connection between the huge creatures that appear around the world, or ...... There's some kind of underlying connection that we haven't found out. Judging from their physical characteristics and initial habits, they basically do not belong to the same species. In other words......" The young man's voice was silent for a moment, but still said with difficulty, "In other words, each of them may represent a race, even if it is limited by their size, there are at least two individuals of each race, and this is based on the premise that it can reproduce itself. ”

With that, the young man sat down and waited for the others to speak.

Everyone began to whisper to the people next to them, discussing their opinions.

This is a middle-aged man who spoke out, "Comrades, the situation may be more serious than we think...... There have been more and more reports of attacks by anomalous lifeforms received by the Public Security Bureau, and it is reasonable to suspect that the increasing number of human-sized anomalous lifeforms is related to the presence of giant creatures on a global scale, or more directly, the anomalous lifeforms are brought by those giant creatures. In the past year, there have been as many as 86 cases of attacks by ordinary organisms in our province.

Our police force is no longer enough, and the police are under a lot of pressure. ”

The old man who was the first to listen to the meeting sighed lightly, got up, looked around at the people in the conference room, and said, "Everyone, regarding the problem of abnormal life forms in various places, the instructions of the central government have come down, let us form defense bureaus in each province, and it will be led by the central defense general bureau. In addition, the central government has allocated 7 billion yuan to the provinces for the first phase of the establishment of the National Defense Bureau and the development of weapons. Our goal is to protect people's lives and property as much as possible. However, at the moment, there are things that are not yet suitable for the masses to know, and neither the masses nor we are adequately prepared. In this regard, I also hope that the comrades of the police will make efforts. ”

"And the question about giant creatures?"

One person asked.

"Giant creatures...... It is handled by the central government, and the specific information is classified, and I don't know. Okay, that's it, adjournment. ”

……

Li Chun'an wandered aimlessly on the streets, he almost used this perspective to look at the city where he had worked for several years from this perspective, he was too busy before, he made his last relative, his grandmother live better, so that he would not be unaccompanied, but grandma was gone after all. However, he was finally able to rest.

Li Chun'an, who observed the city for the first time as an idler, found that the city was more prosperous than he remembered, with roadside snacks, intimate couples, and old people who were old in their lives. This city, on the one hand, is cold of reinforced concrete, and on the other hand, it is the fire of fireworks in the world.

Li Chun'an bought a hairy egg at a snack stall, and while walking, he was struggling with whether to eat it, for Li Chun'an, in his past twenty-five or six years, hairy eggs have always been a food that he can't understand. Li Chunan has never been able to imagine what kind of people would like to eat food like hairy eggs. But out of some curiosity, Li Chunan still bought two hairy eggs this time, just because he was afraid that he would waste food if he couldn't eat them.

Stopping on the street, Li Chun'an's two slender skewers given by his boss poked at the two roasted and slightly burnt hairy eggs, and finally, plucked up the courage, took a deep breath, picked up a piece and bit down on the head of the chick that looked a little fluffy, no bones, no strange smell, just a little fishy. But the psychological discomfort still made Li Chun'an a little uncomfortable breathing, a feeling of chest tightness and shortness of breath, probably so. As soon as he swallowed hard, a roasted sausage was handed to him.

"Huh?"

Li Chunan looked up and saw that a girl in purple pantyhose held a grilled sausage and handed it to him, trying to say in broken Chinese, "It's so pitiful, eat grilled sausage, that one looks unhealthy." ”

Li Chunan was a little confused, but before he could say anything, a young man wearing a floral shirt and a magenta camera on his chest and a young man wearing a red sweatshirt and jeans with a slightly immature appearance walked behind the woman in front of him together.

"Hey, Xia Haitang, what are you doing?"

The young man in the flower shirt was a little impatient and talked to the woman.

"Japanese? Sakurajima people? ”

Li Chun'an opened his mouth, but still said hello in Japanese, which he was not very proficient in

"Khonnichiva"

The woman named Xia Haiju responded to Li Chun'an's words as she was able to launch

"Khonnichiva"

However, he quickly reacted and continued to say in that broken Chinese, "Can you speak Japanese?" ”

Li Chunan nodded slightly and said, "I learned a little bit a long time ago, but it's only a little bit." Anyway, thank you in advance for the grilled sausage. ”

The young man in the flower shirt squinted at Li Chun'an slightly, then patted Xia Haitang's shoulder, and said in Japanese, "Hey, Xia Haitang, this world is about to be destroyed, and we still have something to do." ”

Xia Haicheng turned to look at the young man in the flower shirt, and said a little nervously, "Really? However, the world seems to be more peaceful than the ones I have experienced before. ”

The young man in the sweatshirt, who had been silent, also said with some seriousness at this time, "Well, I feel something uneasy in this world......

"Yusuke ......"

Xia Haiyu looked at Shi, then at Yusuke, and finally chose to believe the words of these two partners.

Xia Haitang turned around, said "goodbye" to Li Chun'an in broken Chinese, and then left with Yusuke.

And the man in the flower shirt named Shi remained in place, walked up to Li Chun'an, and said in a slightly arrogant tone, "Hello, first meeting." My name is Kadoyashi, a passing traveler. ”

"Chinese?"

"Hello, my name is Li Chun'an."

Li Chunan didn't understand what the Sakurajima man in front of him was going to do, but he responded to him out of politeness.

Menyashi looked at Li Chun'an, his eyes swept over Li Chun'an's chest, and he said unhurriedly, "Li Chun'an, I guess you have also noticed that this world has become a little different from before, and it is beginning to become unrecognizable, and the advice I can give is to be careful of some guys hiding in the shadows." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Li Chun'an to react, Menyashi turned around and left without looking back, and before leaving, he picked up his magenta camera and took a photo of an elderly couple with gray hair, and then left satisfied.
