Volume 2: The Age of the Monks Chapter 35: Ghosts in Action, People at Work
In the silence of the hill, out of the blood-red mist, a formless and insubstantial figure appeared, walking on both feet like a human, but floating in the air, looking around curiously.
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar environment around him, he patted his non-existent head, trying to recall something, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't remember, he always felt that he had lost something, and he wanted to find it but had no direction, so he could only wander aimlessly.
Gradually, the red mist dissipated, and only a new grave was seen in the same place, looking at the appearance of the cemetery, this is a new burial grave, no more than seven days old, and there are bright firecracker chips around the cemetery.
Similar situations began to appear all over the Blue Star, countless newly dead people crawled out of the graves in the form of ghosts, some of them stayed in place irrationally and frantically, and some lost their memories but felt familiar with the place where they lived before their deaths, and wandered around aimlessly when they wanted to find something.
Shencheng, on the morning of the third day after the end of the world, Han Shan, who was deeply drifting, received a call from his boss, informing him that he would start working normally today. Han Shan cleaned up his personal hygiene, picked up his coat and went downstairs.
Walking out of the tube building in the urban village, Han Shan felt that the light was very dim, looked up at the sky, and found that there was still no sun in the sky, such as the first day of the end of the world, filled with a faint red mist, and he could also see the moon reflected in blood red, and looked at the time displayed on his mobile phone, it was 9.01 in the morning, and there were still 29 minutes before work.
The traffic congestion on the road in the first two days is still being sorted out, but public transportation can already be passed, private cars are not allowed to pass for the time being, and almost all of them are busy with the military and police, and there is no shadow of a few people in sight.
This is the preliminary situation after the end of the world, as long as the blue star is not destroyed, there is no social turmoil, and the law and order are stable, people still do what they should do before the end of the world, except that the body becomes more energetic and the spirit is more sufficient, there is no other change.
People who go to work continue to work, after all, they still have to eat and pay rent every month, but the good thing is that the rent has dropped dramatically, and the house that used to be 1500 yuan for a single room is now only 500 yuan. In the last days after the huge population drop, housing prices will bear the brunt of the direct halving, the economy will naturally shrink sharply, and the economic situation of all countries in Blue Star will return to a few decades ago overnight.
Pleasure people are still enjoying themselves, but more wealthy people have begun to pursue the improvement of the strength of monks, and the fields around monks have been rapidly opened, leading the economy from the era of ordinary people's needs to the era of monks' needs.
Han Shan sat on the bus, swiping his mobile phone, feeling that today's signal was very stuck, and there was a lag when he turned on the video playback, which was not as smooth as in the past, but he could only endure the stuttering and continue to watch the video when he was bored.
In the video, CCTV news is played, which is a mandatory video. Kang Fei was broadcasting the news: "Three days ago, the end of the world came, and the surviving human beings all evolved into monks, and human beings officially entered the era of monks, which we call the first year of monks; Two days ago, some lawbreakers relied on the strong physique after evolution, carried out robbery, kidnapping and wounding behavior, thinking that the end of the world is coming, and they can be lawless, this is a stupid behavior, everyone must recognize the facts, evolution is the process of unification of the whole people, and the difference in everyone's evolved physique will not be too big, you can't win anyone; What's more, the country is still there, the military and police are still there, and any violation of law and discipline will be severely cracked down, and 3,456 cases of violations of the law have been dealt with, and 15,825 people have been arrested...
Han Shan looked at the content of the video, shook his head speechlessly, and smiled helplessly, I don't know whether to laugh at the stupidity of these illegal personnel, or laugh at the fact that he still lives in the lower echelons of society, living a life of cattle and horses, and thinks that the opportunity of the end times is just a flash in the pan.
Life still has to go on, at least the cost of living is several times smaller now, but the salary has not fallen, which can be regarded as a consolation! Although this is the benefit brought about by the failure of the evolution of the nearly 700 million people of the Dragon Nation, let's just say so!
Han Shan remembered a sentence on the Internet before the end of the world, "The way for ordinary people to improve their quality of life is self-extinction", which now seems to be reasonable, but it is not that children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and I enjoy happiness without children and grandchildren.
After getting off the bus, Han Shan walked into the building where the company was located, and felt a burst of cold air attacking, the heart core in his body beat automatically, and a stream of energy gushed out and spread around.
An invisible and qualitative humanoid figure appeared in Han Shan's perception, and the figure looked at Han Shan, as if thinking about something, but soon floated towards Han Shan, and a sense of crisis surged in Han Shan's heart.
Facing the invisible shadow that rushed over, Han Shan instinctively activated the energy of the heart core, raised his hand and hit a piece of energy towards the invisible shadow, and knocked the shadow backwards, letting out a silent and angry roar.
Then he rushed towards Han Shan, opened his mouth and bit Han Shan, the big one occupied the whole shadow, and could swallow Han Shan's entire body in one bite, which frightened Han Shan to retreat again and again, and the energy of the heart core kept swaying.
The speed of the shadow was very fast, and in an instant, it arrived in front of Han Shan, and swallowed Han Shan in one gulp, and suddenly Han Shan felt that he had fallen into an ice cave, and his whole body was extremely uncomfortable.
Feeling that he might be frozen to death in a few minutes, under the great fear, Han Shan burst out the energy of the heart core with all his strength, driven by strong willpower, all the energy in the heart core was burst out, shooting from Han Shan's body to the surroundings, directly piercing the shadow figure like a sharp sword, in a silent wail, the invisible shadow exploded, and an extremely cold aura radiated to the surroundings, lowering the surrounding temperature by several degrees.
After the explosion of heart core energy, Han Shan felt exhausted all over, as if he had worked overtime for two days and two nights in a row before the end of the world, the whole person collapsed, he couldn't open his eyelids, and fell asleep directly on the ground.
This encounter between humans and ghosts unfolded in silence, and after a fierce and terrifying struggle, it exploded in silence, leaving only Han Shan sleeping on the ground and the surrounding low temperature environmental changes, and no one knew what happened here.
There were very few companies in the building that worked today, and after a few minutes, I didn't see a single person at work walk in, and the property patrol officers on duty soon found Han Shan sleeping on the ground.
A middle-aged man, dressed in a security uniform, walked in, felt the low temperature around Han Shan, shivered, and said to himself, "Why is it so cold here?" ”
Helping Han Shan up, the security guard exited the building, only to feel that the temperature had returned to normal, but Han Shan's body was still as cold as ice, so he could only call the police.
Soon the military police were dispatched, and a police car drove in and took the sleeping Han Shan to the hospital. After arriving at the hospital, several military police officers found that the hospital was full of patients with the same symptoms as Han Shan.
The beds in the entire hospital were full, and several military police officers had to hand Han Shan over to the hospital and place him in a bed in the corridor, and they had to go on other tasks.
In the conference room of the hospital, a man in his fifties sat on the main seat and said to the doctors in white coats around him: "After testing, it can basically be determined that all the symptoms are cold, some people still have life characteristics, some people have no life characteristics, from the perspective of Western medicine, all people's physical functions are extremely healthy, everyone tell me what kind of condition is this?" ”
The doctors discussed in a low voice, and a doctor who was about the same age as the dean said loudly: "It shouldn't be some kind of disease, as soon as I get close to these patients, the heart core in my body will spontaneously excite to resist the cold air, I think this should be related to ghosts, but at present, we don't have this medical technology, we can't start, we need to ask the scientists of the Imperial Capital Research Institute for help." ”
"Yes, Director Wu is right," an emergency department director said, "I also had this reaction as soon as I approached these patients, and I found that these patients fainted in the red circle and were found by the patrolling military police or the public and sent to the hospital." ”
As the doctors spoke, almost everyone had the same reaction and the same opinion, and soon a unified decision was made, and the dean reported the matter to the superiors.
After layers of reports, the question soon appeared on the table of the Imperial Capital Health Commission, and a section chief of the Health Commission who was in charge of the docking of the deep city looked at the report with a frown, and immediately got up from his seat after reading it, and hurriedly walked to the director's office.
knocked on the door, there was a sound of invitation to enter the house, and after pushing the door in, the section chief handed the report to the director and said: "There is a special illness in Shencheng, they suspect that it is related to ghosts, and I hope that the Imperial Capital Research Institute can come forward to take a look." ”
The director took the report, glanced at it, threw it on the table, and said with a wry smile: "You are not the first, look, this large pile of colleagues from the Health Commission across the country was urgently sent, almost the same situation, I have already reported to the Qinzheng Palace, and the others will be arranged by the Qinzheng Palace!" ”
In the imperial capital, the Qinzheng Palace, the lord of the country looked at the report in his hand, raised his head and asked the secretary: "Is there such a situation in the whole country?" What is the current level of loss? Has the report been sent to the Imperial Capital Research Institute? ”
The secretary replied in a deep voice: "Lord, there are similar situations in 4,700 places across the country, these places are all red circles drawn when the end of the world comes, and the number of people who are currently cold and unconscious has reached 158654, and the report was sent to the Imperial Capital Research Institute as soon as possible." ”
Hearing that nearly 160,000 people were killed and wounded, the lord of the country showed a sad look on his face, just three days after the end of the world, mankind began to face unknown disasters again, it was too painful, I don't know if mankind can still move forward.
With a heart full of worry and sorrow, Guoli went to the Imperial Capital Research Institute to see what the situation was, and only after understanding it clearly could he lead the Chinese nation to the right path.
In the Imperial Capital Research Institute, in the laboratory, Wei also led more than a dozen of the top scientists of Blue Star to smell the surroundings of a cold young man's body, check the functions of the young man's body, and do experimental research.
Looking at the experimental data, the teenager's body is extremely healthy, and the brainwave activity is also normal, not the brainwave activity of a sleeping person at all, the heart is also beating strongly, other body organs are also working normally, and the cold breath on the body is slowly dissipating.
After reading the experimental data, an old man said loudly: "It's no big deal, this is an invasion of evil qi, I guess this young man has fought with ghosts, and was injured by the evil qi brought by ghosts, causing the heart core to languish, it takes time to recover slowly, as long as the heart core is rejuvenated, the cold qi in this body will soon dissipate." ”
Hearing this, all the scientists nodded in agreement, and Wei Yi took over and said: "The recovery of the injected yang qi is accelerated, it seems that we have to speed up the search for the substance of the powerful heart core, otherwise..."
