Another hour has passed, and there are still 150 kilometers away from Rongcheng.

Zhou You was already lying on the platform under the driver's seat.

Shen Ling was completely standing in the driver's seat.

Although the two became more skillful in cooperation, the operation became more and more inconvenient, and the speed inevitably dropped to 40 kilometers per hour.

More than an hour has passed, and there are still 116 kilometers away from Rongcheng.

If Shen Ling still stood directly in the driver's seat, then she couldn't see the road.

However, the two of them made preparations in advance, put the carton filled with water on the driver's seat, and then raised it with clothes, Shen Ling not only does not have to stand now, but can even sit.

But when the time continued to move forward, more than two hours later, the two finally had to sit on the center console, ready to use their mobile phones to drive.

At this time, there are still more than 40 kilometers to go home, and it is still far away, but at least I see the hope of going home.

The size of the two of them has become only the size of an orange cat, and their strength has become much smaller, Shen Ling can't twist the steering wheel much, and Zhou You can't step on the accelerator and brake much.

Climbed onto the dashboard cover, sat behind the mobile phone, leaned forward slightly, pressed the forward arrow on the screen with one palm, and the car slowly moved.

Shen Ling said with a heartfelt sigh: "This function is really good. ”

Zhou You shrugged, "Since I bought it, this function is a chicken rib, and the ghost can think that it can have this miraculous effect." ”

"Well, I don't know what's going on out there now. It must be a mess of porridge, and people are panicking. ”

Zhou You: "If it weren't for the fact that we were in a hurry, I guess we would be just as scared now." Now we just don't even have time to be afraid. ”

"Not necessarily. It's hard for others to say, but I see that you are so well prepared, you will definitely not panic. ”

Zhou You thought for a while, "Maybe, because I know very well that panic won't solve the problem." ”

"Wait a minute, there's a situation ahead!"

As she was talking, Shen Ling suddenly shouted.

Zhou Yu also noticed.

About 50 meters ahead, a car rushed out of the side of the road and rolled on its side.

Fortunately, the car did not break down in the middle of the road, but it did not affect the traffic.

When he got closer, he didn't have to deliberately slow down, and he glanced sideways.

The sedan was so deformed that the window glass was almost completely shattered.

The front of the car is even twisted.

Red antifreeze leaked from the ground underneath the front of the car.

Judging by the extent of damage to the vehicle, this is not a pure rollover, but a first impact and then a rollover.

The impact speed should be more than one hundred kilometers per hour.

It must have been that the driver was unwilling to drive after the size was reduced, and he drove forcibly and drove too fast, which led to the tragedy.

Due to the abandonment of taking the highway, there is usually not much traffic on this national highway, so this is the first car accident that the two have seen along the way.

What is certain is that car accidents like these will follow one after another on the next journey.

The sudden tragic car accident made the two silent a lot.

Although the two of them were also very nervous before, due to the dual physical and psychological preparations, they saw the tricks in an orderly manner during the whole process of shrinking their body size, and their respective families were also reminded, and they made a lot of thorough preparations in the past few hours, and the family members who could get together were also reunited together, and reported that they were safe, although their own situation was not good, but they only accounted for the word "urgent" in the word "critical", and there was no word "dangerous", so the overall mentality was still very relaxed.

But this car accident that happened to someone else and hit the face immediately made Zhou You and Shen Ling understand that not everyone can be like themselves.

At this moment, in this world, no matter what time zone, whether it is day or night, it must already be a war and chaos, like a disaster.

After being silent for a long time, Zhou You said: "By the way, Shen Ling, use your mobile phone to call the police, and tell 110 about the car accident just now." ”

Shen Ling thought for a moment and asked, "Is it useful?" Is there anyone else who can go to the police now? ”

"Try it."

After a while, Shen Ling hung up the phone helplessly, "Sure enough, I knew that this was the case." It's always busy, and you can't get in. ”

Zhou You snorted, "The purpose of asking you to call the police is to test whether the administrative agency can still operate." Now it's just a matter of validating the conjecture. You'll go online and look at Weibo, watch live broadcasts, and look at headlines. Human beings are social animals, and if we want to live with our families, we must have a more comprehensive understanding of the current state of society. We have to estimate how quickly society will collapse, how it will be rebuilt, and what role we should or can play in the process. ”

"I'll give you an example. Let's take the car accident just now as an example, is it possible that a large truck will hit a power pole and cause a power outage? This is a probabilistic time, but it can happen. In the past, the power outage could be repaired quickly, but now there is no way to repair it. A power outage in one area can cause problems that can have more knock-on effects, such as ...... Water. Power outages are often accompanied by water outages, and people can live without electricity, but they can't live without water. Let's talk about power stations, communication base stations, servers, ......"

"When there is a large-scale power outage, network and water outage across the country, it basically means a complete collapse. Of course, the collapse of society does not mean the collapse of humanity. I believe that humanity will eventually be able to readapt, but it will take time and there will be a process. There will be a lot of people who will be eliminated in the process. Shrinking the size is not only inconvenient, but also that many people will lose their ability to survive completely. For example, human beings first have to face the limitations of material science, and it is not that when human beings become smaller, they can immediately make tools that can adapt to their body shape. Now we won't talk about this car, such as the most commonly used thing in life, kitchen knives. ”

"If humans really become only one centimeter tall, how small would we be able to hold a kitchen knife? With the metal properties of our current household kitchen knives, I am afraid it will not take long to roll the blade. ”

These are just some of the details of life. The accumulation of such unsuitable details is disaster and crisis. As for us, like ordinary people in other eras, we can't protect too many people, we can't help too many people, and if we can take care of ourselves and our families and survive, we can probably already do our part for civilization. ”

Shen Ling heard Zhou You's voiceover, "I understand." ”

A few more minutes passed, and Zhou You suddenly felt a little dizzy in his brain.

He tried to shake his head, but it didn't get any better, but he felt more groggy.

He looked at Shen Ling beside him, but before he could speak, he suddenly lost consciousness and fell down on his side.

Shen Ling next to him also fell almost at the same time as Zhou You.

Fortunately, the mobile phone needs to keep the handle on the forward button to drive, and the car naturally stops.

Pull the horizon higher, and then zoom out, all the way to the world......

The Eastern Hemisphere is still at night, and the sun is high in the Western Hemisphere......

Busy and bustling cities, towns, and rural ......

Whether it's day or night, it's as if the whole world has been paused and frozen.

I don't know how long it has passed, and the sky in the distance has turned white.

Hazy light and shadow spread from east to west, covering the land like a match.

Under the first glow of the early morning, Zhou You and Shen Ling woke up quietly.

The moment they woke up, the two quickly regained consciousness, and then stared at each other with wide eyes.
