When I went out, before I got out of the residential building, I heard the noisy sound of the street, and the whole street was planted with lush yellow cypress trees, although it was only on the second floor, but if you don't lie on the cement railing of the passage and look down, you can't see the street scene on the street at all.

Children always yearn for the fantasy world outside the house, and the door of the house always blocks them from exploring the unknown, but forgets that it also protects them from danger.

Tang Ling ran out of the residential building in a hurry, ignored Zhao Fang's shouts behind him, leaned on the railing, and stood on tiptoe to look down.

There are always more vehicles during the holidays than on weekdays, the clean roads are crowded with cars, moving inch by inch, pedestrians on the streets are paying attention to their lives, coming and going in a hurry, vendors are shouting and selling their products at the top of their voices, looking left and right, not letting go of a trace of business opportunities, and the little sisters who are about to go shopping are looking at their mobile phones to each other, sharing new fun, and suddenly bursting into laughter strangely and tacitly.

A beautiful and ordinary day, no different from the usual.

"Lingling, what are you looking at?"

Zhao Fang behind him watched Tang Ling staring at the street below for a moment, and asked curiously.

"Didn't see anything, Grandma."

Tang Ling retracted her gaze, smiled at Zhao Fang and said, pulling her to the side of the terrace.

I didn't notice anything when I arrived before, but now it seems that the terrace is quite spacious.

The 20-square-meter platform has nothing but two abandoned one-person high lockers placed on the outer wall of the leftmost residential building, except for the stairs on the side facing the distant sun, and the cement railings on the other side.

Standing on this platform, the dazzling sun is hanging in the center, the dazzling light obscures the appearance of the buildings in the distance, and the wide flat ground near is drawn with various lines, it seems that it is the training base of an unknown driving school, and the whole concrete floor is dried by the sun, faintly emitting steaming heat.

"Grandma, what time is it?"

Tang Ling asked Zhao Fang beside her.

"I'll see, yo, it's almost eleven o'clock."

Tang Ling, who received the time, stopped talking and continued to focus her attention on the sun hanging high in the distance.

She wanted to be the first to see the changes the sun makes.

"Why does Lingling keep staring at the sun in the distance?"

Seeing Tang Ling so focused, Zhao Fang couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Total solar eclipse, I want to see a total solar eclipse."

Tang Ling replied, her eyes still not far from the fierce and dazzling white light in the distance.

I don't know how long I stared, during which a group of children were running to the terrace to play, they were curious about Tang Ling, and kept looking, Tang Ling turned a blind eye, and Zhao Fang next to him looked at this group of children and Tang Ling and couldn't cry or laugh.

Later, time passed, the children left, Zhao Fang felt tired, the smell of food wafted from the residential building, Qiu Yanling finally finished the work at hand, and when she went out, she saw Zhao Fang chatting with an old man in the neighborhood, and Tang Ling stood beside her and watched the sun in the distance.

Let Zhao Fang go back to the house first, Qiu Yanling looked at Tang Ling's focused and persistent look, squatted beside her and asked softly, "Baby, are you tired?" ”

"Nope."

"Haven't seen a total solar eclipse yet?"

"No, it's always shiny, it's not black."

"Well, it's almost twelve o'clock, let's wait until twelve o'clock and ten o'clock, and if we haven't seen a total solar eclipse, we can go home and eat first, okay? You can't go hungry. ”

Although Qiu Yanling really wanted to stay here with Tang Ling to watch the total solar eclipse, today is Tang Ling's birthday after all, and many guests at home are waiting to celebrate the birthday of this little protagonist.

Tang Ling blinked her sour eyes and thought for a while, then nodded.

Doing something for a long time, its process is very boring, when the interest is strong, it is fine, once the tired feeling begins to invade the brain little by little, no matter how strong the color of inquiry will be constantly worn out.

Tang Ling felt her tiredness, and she wanted to give up this expedition a little.

After all, her stomach has been screaming unconsciously for a long time.

"Mom, I want to ......," Tang Ling turned her head to Qiu Yanling beside her and said.

"Look, baby!" Before Tang Ling could finish speaking, Qiu Yanling hurriedly pointed to the sun in the sky and shouted in surprise to Tang Ling.

As his gaze shifted, the surrounding scenery gradually darkened, like a city on a cloudy and rainy day, which darkened in an instant, Tang Ling raised his head and saw that the dazzling circle was being swallowed up by the black little by little, until it was completely enveloped.

It is the spectacle of a total solar eclipse.

"Wow! It's amazing! ”

All the passers-by who were walking were deeply attracted by this sudden sight, they stopped, looked at the sky in amazement, took pictures with their mobile phones, and praised them again and again.

Something seems wrong?

The sun, which had been completely eroded by black, began to glow at this moment, and the surrounding area of the black circle began to glow red and shine, spreading, dyeing the city scene with a scarlet color.

It never dawned again.

"It's exactly twelve o'clock."

Qiu Yanling took out her mobile phone and looked at it, ready to lead Tang Ling next to her home, but before she could speak, there was a commotion downstairs.

No, not just downstairs, but all around, far away, near, everywhere began to hear strange screams.

"What's going on?"

Listening to this continuous wail, Qiu Yanling was a little uneasy, she walked to the railing and looked down, her eyes widened.

There was chaos everywhere.

The faces of every pedestrian, screaming and fleeing in all directions, the out-of-control sedan crashed headlong into the street shop, and with a loud explosion sparked sparks, the sisters who had been happily shopping before had fallen to the ground, and the contents of the shopping bags were spilled and stained with blood flowing from their bodies.

This scene is like a horror scene in a biochemical movie, one after another shaking their bodies to knock down the pedestrians, they are like zombies in apocalyptic movies, opening their mouths to tear people's flesh and blood mercilessly, the screams make them even more excited to lie on the ground and eat, those arms that are still shaking their vitality fall to the ground in the next moment, gradually stiffen, and stop breathing.

The white-collar worker in a suit may have been the elite of the industry in a certain business district, but at this moment, his meticulous dress became messy, his head buried in a corpse was raised, the minced meat on the side of his mouth fell to the ground, crackling, with the most primitive animality of animals on his face, his chaotic eyeballs rolled, his head was tilted, and Qiu Yanling, who was checking the situation on the second floor, came to look at each other.

Qiu Yanling squatted on the ground suddenly, like the fear of being locked by a hunter hit her whole body, her body couldn't stop trembling slightly, she covered her mouth to prevent herself from screaming fragily, and saw Tang Ling who was still staring at her in the distance with a blank face, Qiu Yanling quickly stood up regardless of fear, and pulled Tang Ling and prepared to flee home.

Before she could pull Tang Ling and run into the residential building, Qiu Yanling was frightened by the heart-rending screams coming from the building, she looked at the familiar figure standing in the dark corridor, and called out uncertainly: "Tang, Tang Jie?" ”

What answered her was Tang Jie, who slowly turned around, covered his bleeding neck, and his face was constantly hideous, and he couldn't help but roar from his mouth.
