238. Island
"By the way, where did you fire it from, you didn't have a weapon on you, did you?" Yu Bai said suspiciously, just now the glance was looking for where the other party was hiding, and the skirt was not worn, so it couldn't be taken out from underneath, right?
"From here." Isabel had no idea of hiding her secrets, and her upright personality and the fact that she would become a cooperative companion who would guard this place together for a while, stretched out her white and small hand.
In Yu Bai's puzzled gaze, the girl immediately spread out her hand and displayed, "Look." β
The small palm suddenly opened a pitch-black hole, and the nano-precision mechanical structure flashed, followed by a small ball of light suddenly condensed.
The air within a few meters suddenly twisted, and the huge heat rose surgingly, Yu Bai felt as if he was standing in the crater of a volcano that was about to erupt, his hair smelled a little burned, and a touch of blue electric light was entangled in the white ball of light, showing all the horror.
"Actually, you don't have to activate the super electromagnetic cannon." Yu Bai took a step back expressionlessly, quietly pushed away the other party's hand, and turned to the direction of the night sky, "It's enough for you to show that your palm can be opened." β
"Is that so?" Isabel nodded, the ball of light in her palm gradually dissipated, and the suffocating illusion disappeared, as if it had never come, "I'll consider this suggestion." β
"Whew." Yu Bai wiped the sweat from the high temperature and said, "But I didn't expect it to come out of thin air...... Has your body been modified? β
The internal mechanical structure of the girl's palm made people wonder if this black technology creation was limited to just one hand.
"This is a confidentiality policy, and I can't tell you unless the subject of the inquiry has reached the required authority."
"OKOK, understood."
"But you're calling this a super electromagnetic cannon? That looks like I'm going to give you a new nickname. Yu Bai pretended to easily skip the topic that might involve the top secret of the RRC's core strength, "Have you seen Sister Cannon?" β
"I haven't seen it." The girl frowned rarely, "And I already have a nickname, Silver Fox." β
β¦β¦
When Yu Bai and Isabel ended their communication without knowing each other and took the stairs from the rooftop to the fifth floor, the high school students were immediately attracted to attention.
"It's so pretty......"
"What, this is the person who fought with classmate Yu Bai just now? Pillars of light flying around? β
"It's so cute, it's ...... like a star"
"It's actually a beautiful girl.,My God.,Dong Wei.,The animation has become real.,A beautiful girl with superpowers!"
The boys' response was the most intense and exciting, probably in the dark environment, and suddenly seeing a stunning opposite sex, which was a positive incentive from a certain point of view.
The girls were just as surprised, but after hearing the boys' exclamations, the atmosphere changed.
"Sure enough, it's a boy, and I'm still paying attention to this kind of thing......
ββ¦β¦ Why don't you mutate and mutate into a pig-headed pervert. β
"Boys or something, or it's going to be extinct......"
In the disdain of the girls, the boys are unconscious, and it doesn't matter if they know, Isabel's impeccable delicate facial features, mysterious blue exotic eyes, long hair, petite height, uniform...... With so many elements added together, even if the king of heaven Lao Tzu is here today, this is also a lovely sister!
"Wait, where have we seen this girl?"
But after the initial onlookers, there are still boys who break away from low-level desires and keenly notice that something is wrong.
"That's a clichΓ©......"
"I'm serious! Everyone, she seems to be a ...... of our school."
"Impossible, if there was such a person in our school, I would have ...... it a long time ago"
"Actually, I feel that way too!"
"What ......"
During the discussion, everyone gradually recognized Isabel's identity, after all, this master of the ninth lesson had been "disguised and lurking" at the school gate for a period of time.
"Damn, she seems to be the security guard at the door!?"
"What?"
The boys are unbelievable, but with a clear direction, there are still various corroborations, after all, Isabel's appearance as a security guard at the school gate is also extremely eye-catching, and now it looks like it has changed from a security uniform to a handsome and neat military uniform.
"Oh my God, the superpowered beautiful girl is right next to me!"
"Fortunately, I didn't ask for WeChat ......"
Because of Isabel's arrival, the lifeless evacuation classroom was rejuvenated, and those who were going to sleep complained about not sleeping well.
Yu Bai also divided the tasks with Isabel, very briefly, she was not too familiar with her classmates, she guarded the rooftop, and Yu Bai guarded the fifth floor.
"So, we don't have rescue in the future, and all the RRC arrangements are invalid?"
After settling down, Yu Bai came to the girl standing quietly by the railing.
The girl looked out intently, and knew what to see, "Yes, it was completely disrupted by the blindfold, and Investigator Yin Xiaoli was also helpless outside, and the whole city was in a state of virus chaos. β
Yu Bai nodded, not hopeful about the power of the government officials, "Are you sure you won't go outside?" β
"My colleague will solve the monsters. And I was also requested by Investigator Yin Xiaoli, and I was allowed in the bureau with great difficulty. Investigator Yin Xiaoli asked me to bring a word, and she will do what she promised you. β
Yu Bai was silent for a while and said, "That's fine." β
"At present, the signal is completely cut off, except for military equipment, even if it is military, the signal must be transmitted specifically." Isabel took out a walkie-talkie-style device from her military uniform lining pocket and threw it to the teenager, "Now I can only hold on to it and wait for news." β
"How long will it take?" Yu Bai said with a smile.
"Three days."
Isabel exchanged seriously and gave a mixed message, "The shortest is three days, the slowest is five days, as long as you stick to the past, whether it is the situation in the city or the higher-level activation mechanism rescue of Investigator Yin Xiaoli, my colleagues in Lesson 9 will solve everything." β
ββ¦β¦β
In this way, the people in the teaching building were shrouded in the aftermath of panic, and Yu Bai and some calm teachers and students arranged improvised defenses and discussed and determined some rules.
Looking at the night of a hundred ghosts, the dark night where demons are rampant, the perspective extends out, and Yu Bai thought of a sentence.
"No man is an island, self-contained. Everyone is a piece of the continent, a part of the whole. β
Isabel on the side was also looking at the campus and the city from afar, and she looked at it curiously, and then she actually opened her mouth to pick it up.
"If the sea washes away a piece, Europe will shrink, like a headland losing a corner, like your friend or your own territory will lose a piece. Anyone's death is my loss, because I am a member of the human race, so don't ask for whom the death knell is tolled, it will ring for you. β
Yu Bai was surprised, "You still know this?" β
Isabel said with a blank face: "John Dunn, a seventeenth-century English metaphysical poet and priest...... I had a well-rounded higher education, with an IQ test of over 130."
β130β¦β¦ Okay, you're awesome. It's just that this sentence is going to be reversed now. There are many literati who say this sentence the other way around. β
Yu Bai sighed and looked back at the first night of the disaster, the first page.
"Everyone is an island...... muttered softly.
Their silos began.
On Sunday written on the calendar, after seeing Isabel standing guard in a stable state and not showing the slightest tiredness, Yu Bai went back to sleep.
This sleep is at least peaceful, rest assured, in the night gradually deepening, a corner of Hangzhou, those dim street lights of the campus, on this night is still firmly lit, stretched out an umbrella-shaped arc light, the disaster emitted a monster of malice since that day, like a huge rockfall, the meteorite catastrophe that fell from the sky, smashed into the hearts of all the people affected, after the initial collapse of the sky and the tsunami of the mountains, the ripples passed quietly in the night, these scattered splashes touched some people, The moon briefly showed its head in Hangzhou in the second half of the night, and then sank faintly, only Isabel had the good fortune to witness, and calculated that the rising sun the next day might bring a sunny day, a new day, and people felt the ripples in hindsight, but no one knew where these silent streams of water would sink, and the ripples that intersected all living beings would cause changes and when...... It will flood into swarms and make waves.
In the midst of these waves, Yu Bai just did what he should do and planned step by step, occasionally experiencing the time given by the people he knew to be fetters with, leaning on the mat in the corridor next to the classroom door, and the sun flowing in his sleep after the end of the night as the second day was getting closer and closer.
This day is April 24th, half a month ago, the mainland just finished sweeping the tombs after the Qingming Festival, mourning for the deceased, and after half a month, more deceased people were produced on the land at this end, fresh corpses stinked in the night, nibbled, bleeding and drifting, flooding, I don't know how long later, how people should commemorate this moment.
The people of this country were shrouded in mud and gloom, bathed in the yellow light bulbs the size of beans in the corridors, Isabel pressed against the buttress of the fifth floor, looking at the undulating city scenery, her face expressionless, no one knew what was in the heart of this powerful cultivator girl with a past.
This is April after the ordinary days have passed, it is only a small length on the calendar, and it may be gone in an instant in front of modern people who work and study outside Hangzhou, a peaceful society has been advancing for decades, single-digit days may be a small point in the workaholic plan, students look forward to freedom but the holidays pass in the blink of an eye, the weather in a place far away from disasters will not be starry and moonless, and it is likely to be a peaceful sunset everywhere. High school students from other schools scratch their hair in their rooms at the homework they left behind, then throw them on the bed and play with their phones; A basement in Hangzhou next door ushered in an underground idol, and fans had already lined up on the ground; The teacher who took off his professional clothes was busy taking care of his muscles, doing follow-up differentiation training and diet matching; Even if you don't come to Hangzhou, in the shadow corners of the city, you wander aimlessly with your immortal body, go in and out of warm street shops, and subsidize the big sisters who have difficulty chatting and living......
After Yu Bai met Jiang Ke, he had gradually integrated into the people and things on the earth, and what he felt was often only a small part of the surroundings, which was insignificant to the huge city, and the city was compared to the ocean, there were all kinds of people, countless people took transportation every day, passed by, and the ripples collided and intertwined one by one, overlapping dazzlingly.
Isabel looked at the city beneath the wound in front of her, and felt calm, but perhaps there was also a place where something she didn't know, and as one of those whirlpools that were also composed, it would gradually draw towards the center of things......
Just like after this, the alienation disaster is turbulent, Yu Bai is lying on a not very soft cushion, next to him is Jiang Ke, who is also sleeping with difficulty, presumably there will be no such an answer, there is still the last point, Yu Bai wants to wear the roof to see the starry night covered by the ground, the two have a day of class, maybe from the city to play and sit on the bench on the side of the street and watch the flow of people, he will ask the girl next to him, "When will you go home".
I don't know if it's seven or eight or nine o'clock in the evening, and the girl holds her hands and says something she doesn't want to go back.
"Then eat another ice cream and go back, it's so late, I know, you're not a little girl begging for ice cream."
This is a very plain inquiry, in Jiang Ke's commotion, the two of them pushed and shoved into the lights. The road sign for the destination is Xiasha 3rd Road.
And the picture flashed back to the present, Yu Bai suddenly opened his eyes in the night, looking at the empty classrooms and corridors, and the faint sky, the beast's roar became the background sound, he thought of the dream just now, and shook his head.
The handshake in the dream was peaceful, and he was stained with blood in the gloom.
This peace has never been abrupt, it contains almost everything, imaginable, ordinary efforts, dreams, whether it is life and sweat in the corner or on the flat ground...... There are many things, and this peace is still circling in the quiet world and the functioning society, so he sees a person, one ordinary little thing after another, silently flowing over for a moment.
Yu Bai, who woke up, and Isabel, who seemed to be standing motionless by the buttressed wall for a night, glanced at each other, no one spoke, the sky was like dawn, Yu Bai held the girl's warm hand.
He suddenly remembered that in the activity building, the committee classroom where everything had stopped, he also held the hands of Chen Qingqing and the other classmates like this, looking at their stiff faces, trying to grasp the malice that might be hidden in the depths through the blood, but except for a steady and peaceful pulse, there was nothing.
There will always be a moment when these silent little mundane will explode into screaming shards, and through the terrible screams, thousands of arrows will shoot through the heart of the entire urban land, high-rise buildings will collapse, explosions will continue, and the cries and despair of the streets and cities will be pierced one by one under the feet of the colossal creatures that pierce the steel bars and the crowd.
Facing Jiang Ke, Yu Bai wanted to protect her mood at this time and wanted to simply take classes in school and live a new club and new campus life, he knew that he might meet many people in the future, and had a lot of similar thoughts, Yu Bai let go of the hand of the girl he was holding, maybe one day he said goodbye to the other party and returned to the ground, at that time, the city lights and bustle extended to the boundless distance, I don't know if there is a place for the future in the distant phantom curtain woven by people and lights.
β¦β¦
April 25, 2022 was the second day of the alienation disaster that occurred in the whole area of Hangzhou.
The sky is clear.
Maybe it shouldn't be said in itself.
On April 24, the day after the disaster, the weather was not actually stormy, and the sky and the earth were about to fall, and it was also cloudless, but in the face of such catastrophe and blood, all colors were swallowed up by the torrent of monsters. The darkness of the night, without any daylight, also gave the survivors great pressure, not all places can be like the fifth floor of the first district teaching building of Hang Erzhi, which can make people sleep without worrying about a good night's sleep.
But anyway, the weather on the second day was a little surprisingly good.
The white clouds floated on the clear sky, clean and tidy as if carefully wiped, the golden sun confirmed the spring season in April, the bright and swaying sprinkled down, the branches were not destroyed and knocked down or the blood-stained green flowers and plants were full of business, the matter of human beings suffering a day of slaughter could not stop the footsteps of all things in the spring, perhaps there was most of the day of fresh fertilizer watering, the flowers and plants grew more gratifying and full of vitality, and a few friendly bird calls came from the canopy into the classroom.
Koharu woke up when she felt an itch on her face.
At first, she thought it was a prank by her companion, she frowned and waved her hand, and found that the warm touch had not weakened, and reluctantly opened her eyes, only to find that there was a white light, she quickly closed her eyes again, and turned over with a muffled grunt.
It was the sun that hit her face.
For a moment, Koharu forgot about the escape, forgot about the monster, forgot where he was, in a comfortable and soft embrace, no different from the familiar bedroom bed at home.
Until Koharu hears the birdsong passing, there is a "news" and "mutated" human voice in the distance.
The memories flooded back and forth, quickly washing away the warmth of the whole body, and the laziness of wanting to continue sleeping in my mind quickly disappeared.
Koharu sighed in his heart and got up with a hint of melancholy on his face.
She was lying between Wang Younai and Sun Wei.
After seeing her sleeping situation, Xiaochun was a little weak for a while, her head and upper body leaned on Yunai's arm, and the thigh side pressed Sun Wei's stomach, both companions were still asleep, and Sun Wei looked hard in her sleep as if she was suffering from some stressful nightmare, Xiaochun had to suspect that her feet caused the accident.
On the other hand, she also remembered that she and Ayaji were now a little embarrassed but didn't break it.
Koharu carefully retracted her feet, secretly saying that her sleeping position was too embarrassing, she couldn't help but look at Yuno, the noble and beautiful face without powder has exceeded most of the people she has seen, Yunai-san breathed smoothly and quietly, the other party should have slept very late last night, I don't know what to worry about, Koharu felt that he should be worried about his family, because the classmates were like this in the second half of the night, many people who couldn't sleep shrank in the corner, and there would be soft crying in the classroom.
Koharu himself was worried, but he couldn't hold it anymore and fell asleep with Yuno-san.
"How should I face Sun Wei in the future......"
The girl looked to the left and then to the right with a little distress, rather hesitantly.
In the face of the danger of monsters, Sun Wei's figure of rushing out desperately is still vivid, and the impact of that momentum is no less than the first time Xiaochun saw the fireworks of the fireworks display, but if the other party's emotions are contacted, Xiaochun will not be at ease.
She touched her cheek, it seemed to be the place where Sun Wei forcibly kissed......
"Phew, phew, why did you get a strong kiss!"
Koharu covered her face, "Is this a love triangle?!" β
This ordinary high school junior girl never thought that she would encounter this kind of plot in a novel.
Wang Younai frowned and covered his eyes, Sun Wei let out a strange dream, Xiaochun immediately shut up, afraid that it would be even worse if the two of them woke up at the same time.
"Gollum ......"
Five minutes later, Koharu, who was embarrassed to continue sleeping, but was reluctant to leave the warm nest, let out a stomach scream.
The girl suddenly looked around, her stomach screamed a little, of course some classmates heard it, but at most they lowered their heads, and no one took it seriously.
Well, it looks like everyone is hungry.
Xiao Chun thought about what she would eat for breakfast, after yesterday's discussion, she already knew that the fifty surviving people were led by a few leaders, and Yu Bai, and jointly determined the division of materials, in order to deal with the crisis behind and wait for the time for rescue, the plan was distributed, and it was naturally unanimously approved at that time, and no one wanted to experience a thing like Si Tong who bullied the weak and monopolized resources alone.
So Koharu wasn't very worried, she just had to wait for the meal.
And the food distribution records are not in the hands of Xiaochun, her task today is only to go to the entrance of the building in the afternoon to stand guard, and in the evening with other girls to be responsible for cleaning.
Ten minutes later, Yuno and Sun Wei woke up one after another, they didn't have as much mental process as Koharu, and they just asked two questions after getting up, mostly in the morning, and Koharu also saw and answered what he knew.
"Let's give up, let's go."
Before breakfast could be served, the back door of the classroom was pushed open (because the two classrooms were merged, the total four doors were divided into the front one, the front two, the back one, and the back two), and several boys came in with a TV set.
Everyone looked at this move with curiosity and amazement, and there were boys holding cables in the back, and the boys put the TV rack in a prominent position at the front of the classroom, almost above the blackboard, so that everyone could see it at a glance.
"What is this doing?" Sun Wei directly grabbed a person and asked.
"Install a TV!" It was Dong Wei, a boy in the same class, who was busy handing over the cable in his hand, and said in his mouth, "The government is going to make a national speech, and the rescue is coming!" β
Xiaochun, Sun Wei, and Younai were shocked when they heard this, looked at each other, and they all saw surprises.
Regardless of the reason, Sun Wei hurriedly said, "Really fake!?" By the way, why is there a signal again, and they are all restored? And where did you get the TV? β
"Of course it's true." Dong Wei wiped his sweat, "There are those classrooms on the fourth floor of the TV, you will know when you watch it later." β
Of course, Sun Wei was not satisfied with this news, and immediately strangled Dong Wei's neck, and in the other party's oops, he learned that it was Xiang Ze, a boy who was proficient in computer technology and electronic technology, that it was done, and after learning about the government's speech, he immediately reported it to Yu Bai, and Yu Bai asked everyone to move over to the TV, which solved the problem of use, so that everyone could watch it together.
In the large classroom, all fifty high school students came, looking eagerly at the TV set on the wall.
A snowflake signal flashed, and after Xiang Ze held his notebook and operated on the side of the podium for a few minutes, he shouted: "It's okay!" β
As soon as the TV screen turned, everyone's eyes widened to see an old man standing in front of the camera on a solemn and solemn occasion similar to a press conference.
Even Yu Bai and Isabel came, and the task of vigilance was temporarily handed over to the female ghost.
They all looked at the prime minister on TV.
Before watching the live broadcast of the government press conference, there were actually some episodes.
"Holy! There's a signal, what? The government is broadcasting live, and the prime minister is speaking nationwide?! β
Xiang Ze was alone with a notebook tinkering in the corner of the corridor, which was facing the sky, and the signal would be slightly better outside the safety point, and when he got up early in the morning to deal with the laptop that was damaged by the high-frequency vibration and magnetic field waves caused by the singing of the female ghost last night, it took the whole morning, and it was considered to have turned the computer back on, and Dong Wei, who was standing guard at the entrance of the building, had not rejoiced for his partner, and Xiang Ze immediately discovered more amazing news.
Xiang Ze, who is actually a general of the electrical appliance club and the electronic technology club, has a chicken nest of hair and dirty thick-bottomed glasses The sloppy stereotype of a science man is full of stereotypes, and he knows a little about hackers and electronics, his voice is cool, as if showing off to others that he has successfully won the goddess of his dreams, "What? Dong Wei immediately left his post and leaned over, leaving another boy who was eager to try. Xiang Ze's news couldn't be hidden in this range at all, and everyone exclaimed in surprise, but Xiang Ze gradually felt bad, not only the little friend he just heard in the first class of the senior high school staring at the computer in his hand, but also other classes and other schools, it seemed that the entire corridor, as long as the people who woke up early in the morning rushed over.
"Eh, wait...... Don't be in such a hurry, I'm not ready yet. β
"Ahh
It's really a fascinating news, and the signal recovery is nothing, however, I heard that the prime minister is going to give a speech about the disaster in our Hangzhou? Or live streaming?
The accumulated hope and the desire for communication with the outside world burst out at once, and the enthusiastic scene will be more spectacular and urgent than the whole village watching a black hundred television set in the last century.
Xiang Ze suffered, but fortunately, he was the only one present who could handle it, and the computer was saved, and then he was driven to a high place by everyone like a duck, and raised the computer with both hands.
That is, Yu Bai discovered the situation at this time, so he later instructed the boys to go to the fourth floor to move the TV out, and then put it on the classroom wall to watch it together.
β¦β¦
"Aren't you alright?"
Outside the classroom door, Dong Wei rubbed a signal cable and a box in his hand, held it awkwardly, and said vigorously, as a good friend, he is still very brotherly and righteous, and he volunteered to help.
"Horse, right away, you move a little more......"
"So?"
"No, no, let's go!"
"So?"
"Oops!"
The fifty people below were violently "supervising", Dong Wei was drenched in cold sweat in the comfortable air in the early morning, and he couldn't care about wiping it, in order to stabilize the computer and signal, he had to take a kneeling position, he was really tired and nervous, when would the man be able to stand up.
On the TV, the picture has been broadcast live on the Asahi Shimbun station in full screen, but it is card by card, as if watching 1080P with a 2G network, and the people below are on fire.
Later, the high school students sitting in a row in the classroom began to take command.
"To the left, it's the left, it's not the right!"
"There you have it, just now!"
"Stop, I'll wipe it, Dong Wei, are you too hard to move after too much manual work?"
"I didn't!" Dong Wei shouted loudly outside the classroom with a red face.
And this shout directly caused the signal to shake, and the picture twisted into gray.
"I'm in a hurry! My girlfriend and I weren't in such a hurry for the first time! β
"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry!"
Yu Bai and Isabel looked at this scene at the back of the classroom with a smile, they looked at each other, but they were not very anxious about the so-called speech, one is that they are already people who already know the inside information, and the officials will of course pick some optimistic and good things to say in the face of the whole country and even overseas media, and what the real situation is, it is not as accurate as the news brought by Isabel last night.
Second, it's not just that you can watch it once, this kind of news will inevitably be replayed throughout the time.
"Hey! You two guys in Hang, hurry up and get a good TV for Uncle Ben, believe it or not, I'll beat you up! β
Chen Buxiao sat on the chair, his hands pressed on the table, his face was very dark, and the blue tendons on his forehead were slightly agitated, obviously the student president was a little calm, and the little brothers who were clustered on both sides of the group took the lead, and after a night, these people from Hang Si Male High School still had a posture.
Si Tong stood up snapped and pointed at Dong Wei and Xiang Ze and said intimidatingly.
"Hey, what's going on, what do you want to do?" Snapping a boy with a bandage on his face and only showing a pair of eyes also stood up, well, this is Xu Bin, and he didn't show weakness when he was injured Si Tong angrily.
The atmosphere of the refuge classroom began to change with the same hatred and hatred, when did Chen Buxiao suffer such a grievance, showed an apologetic smile, pressed Si Tong, and said in a gentle and patient tone: "Trouble the two classmates quickly." β
"This is not a TV ......" Dong Wei was BB in his heart, but he dared to be angry and did not dare to speak.
Finally, Xiang Ze was pleasantly surprised: "Okay! β
"Good afternoon everyone in front of the TV, we are doing a live broadcast of the Prime Minister's speech on the super virus infection incident in Hangzhou, please don't switch the channel next......"
The picture is clear and smooth, and the first sentence makes the evacuation classroom scold.
Don't advertise, hey!
And when it neatly cut into the live broadcast, the audience quickly fell silent.
"Good morning, everyone, I announce once again a heavy news......"
"On behalf of Hangzhou, I solemnly promise and promise that we will never give up on any citizen, we are doing our best to organize a rescue, and the support teams from various countries have also arrived at Lishan Airport and Zhouhai Port in the early hours of yesterday morning......"
"According to the preliminary analysis of scientists, this is an unprecedented airborne virus, which is extremely contagious, far more harmful than the Black Death and smallpox, and reliable intelligence indicates that it is a conspiracy by foreign terrorist forces...... Please stay mentally stable, do not go out, and wait for rescue! β
"On behalf of the current administration, I would like to express my heavy reflection and apologies for the victims and the loss of life and property caused by this disaster......
The television signal lasted for a few minutes, which was enough for the high school students on campus to listen to the briefing.
Until the signal disappeared and the gray flash point occupied the screen, no one cared anymore, and Dong Wei outside the classroom also relaxed after completing the task.
After a moment of silence, the discussion began.
