209. Chain reaction
"All Australian routes have been cancelled!?"
"Yes, but we don't know the specifics, but two hours ago, a notice came from above...... I heard that it was because of the riot or something? Not only our travel agency, but all the travel agencies as far as I know have received urgent notices, and it looks like a very dangerous situation. ”
"How so...... I wanted to pull that kid to enhance the relationship......"
On the other hand, why don't you want to use guò in this way to try to forget the sadness of losing your child? In front of the "junior", he can still pretend to be open-minded, but when the girl is not around, the sadness still can't stop pouring out of his heart.
"Let's see, is there any other choice......
The receptionist of the travel agency looked at the woman in front of her a little strangely and became quite lonely - this is obviously not a simple "disappointed" Cheng Dù, this woman, is there anything important to do when going to Australia?
"If you're going to travel abroad, you still have a lot of options - do you have any requirements for your destination?"
"As long as it's farther away...... Well, it would be better if the climate and scenery were milder. ”
"It's just...... Farther, farther away?"
"Well, a little farther away will do. ”
Staying away from this sad place may be able to recover more quickly? In fact, neither husband nor wife knows if this is possible...... Maybe it's, but whatever, they're just hoping for a way to relax their minds right now. The exotic scenery is completely different from the domestic one, so it should be a good choice.
"What about the Greek Aegean Sea? But it's also a traditional tourist destination with great scenery. I don't need too much body lì ......"
"All overseas travel is suspended!"
A man in a suit and leather shoes slammed open the door of the office behind him in a panic, rushed out in a sweat, and shouted into the hall: "All overseas travel, all suspended! From now on, all overseas travel procedures will be stopped!"
This appearance doesn't look like a posture of quarreling with someone, the reason why the voice is so loud and rushing, it seems that the person who spoke has completely panicked?
"Huh, manager. Why ......"
"Don't ask me why! I want to know more than you exactly what's going on -- but the notice I received from my superiors just now is that all overseas travel will be suspended! Even the routes that have been put on the agenda but have not yet departed will be suspended! Don't ask me again, I will continue to deal with those refund defaults...... If anyone doesn't understand what I just said, they will sign me a service contract that will not be changed...... Damn, is this coming!?"
The angry manager ignored the guests in the hall and bumped into them with a flick of his hand, and could vaguely hear the sound of an argument coming from behind the door - presumably, he was "communicating" with those customers, right?
"All overseas travel has been suspended, what's going on?"
The crowd was completely confused. Looking at each other. The guest looked at the salesman, and the salesman also looked back at the guest, and both parties were not able to understand the hot words just now.
It's really because those words are a bit informative.
"This atmosphere is very wrong!"
Compared to others, they are still in the clouds. At present, the couple has thought of something more -- the "relevant departments" will not have the leisure to target the tourism industry, nor will they have such a large authority to directly turn on the red light for all overseas travel at once. Most importantly. The ban on flights to Australia is said to have come just two hours before a total moratorium...... The ban was swift in effect. It shows that the situation must be very serious!
It's not so much a suspension of tourism services as it is ...... It's already like a state of alert for all kinds of battles, right?
It can be implemented in two hours. It's hard not to think of its strictness, after all, living in the Celestial Empire, everyone knows the efficiency of local implementation of central policies.
"Could it have something to do with the previous terrorist attack......? It's going to be a war......"
The wife carefully lowered her voice and whispered to her husband.
"Probably not, I think it probably is...... Let's go, it's useless for us to guess about this kind of thing, and it's only right to go to the kid right now. ”
"Eh, is that mochi kid......"
"Although she looks like a little girl who has not grown up, from her words and deeds, it can be judged that she is not an 'ordinary' girl anymore - I'm afraid, even in the mysterious and unknown world, this child is definitely not an 'ordinary person'!"
There was a faint sense of oppression in the air, but the government seemed to be trying to hide some information, which naturally made them think of those mysterious areas that should not be involved in "ordinary people".
If it's really a sudden big crisis, hiding at home is far from safe enough to find that amazing girl.
"Don't hesitate, while there is no chaos yet, hurry up! Although most people don't know the existence of 'those things', people who can guess a similar situation and realize that there will be something serious will happen will never be in the minority. When there is a panic and the traffic is chaotic, there is a good chance that there will be military police to control it - at that time, it will be impossible to come and go as you normally would!"
And who knows what will happen in a while? It is not impossible for the national government to be so nervous, and if some insect nest falls from the sky after a while, and there is an alien invasion, it is not impossible.
......
The truth is far stricter than the couple thought.
They only think of the existence of smart people, but they forget one point - that is, among the smart people, not all of them are rational and calm people. Some of them may have some strange thoughts...... Just like now, under the propaganda and propaganda of some "well-intentioned people" who realize that something is wrong. A series of "emergency notices" have been misinterpreted into very nervous content.
"Freedom of speech is also on the premise that it does not affect social stability...... This bunch of idiots. It's okay to talk nonsense, no one will care. But isn't it death to do so at this time?"
No matter which country or region the people are, there may be all kinds of differences in customs and so on, but one thing is certainly similar - it is easy to follow the crowd, be guided, and blindly believe in news that seems to be "powerful".
In particular, the remarks are of a "questioning", "exposing" and "critiquing" nature.
Isn't the various alarmist fake news circulating on Weibo the best example? As long as it is "bad news," whether it is food safety and sanitation or social security and order. There are always many more people who believe than those who doubt...... Sometimes, people who question two sentences for some fake news that are obviously flawed and untenable will be attacked for no reason with titles such as "rabbit miscellaneous".
At this rate, I'm afraid it will soon cause traffic congestion, right?
"While the situation has not deteriorated, we hurried to the supermarket to buy some emergency supplies...... You stay in the car, and I'll go to the supermarket to move a plate of mineral water first. ”
Pulling over to the side of the road, the husband aimed at a small supermarket that had not yet been crowded. Anyway. You have to be prepared for second-hand, and if you can't get to the mochi side in time because of some accident, it's always good to have some water and dry food.
There may be no chance after a while...... And the supermarket is such a place. It might even turn out to be dangerous......
The wife, who was left in the car, looked with trepidation at the "crowd of excited" people not far away -- the expressions on the faces of these people now had an indescribable "fanaticism". Maybe it's because of the pressure of daily life? Passionate words are indeed a very pleasure to vent.
Unthinkable. Once the expected terrible situation does happen, what kind of attitude will people have towards this society? Treat the people around you? This is not the era when the nation is in the era of life and death, the people have a very strong tolerance and cohesion, and today's people may not be able to bear that kind of oppression and crisis for a long time.
What will you do if you can't bear it?
Will break down, will go crazy...... That's probably it.
"I'm back!" said the husband as fast as he could, bringing back a plate of mineral water, and some biscuits and chocolates by the way, "nothing happened here, did it?"
He could see that the look on his wife's face did not look very relaxed.
"It's okay...... It's just these people that make me feel ...... It's dangerous. ”
In the past, she would never have such an idea - she is also a person who lives in the same world, although she sometimes does not like some phenomena very much, but she will not treat the people around her with malicious eyes. But now, she faintly feels that those people who usually seem "normal" have an inexplicable blackened phantom that makes her unable to feel at ease.
"There's something bad in them...... It's not strict, it's not like it's dirty, but it makes me feel very uncomfortable......"
"Don't scare me, it's not funny to wake up NT at this time......"
The husband just laughed casually, originally wanting to let his wife relax a little, but he didn't want to, this invisible ridicule made his wife stunned.
"NT? yes, yes, that's what I feel!"
She bobbed her hands in front of her chest, as if trying to figure something.
"I can't put it into words, I can't describe it, but I just feel like I'm there, doing things that have nothing to do with me, but I feel like they're targeting me—especially the malice!"
“......”
If it were someone else, his wife would have thought it was crazy, but this one wouldn't. Neither his own children nor his own wife would have any objection to their "whimsy" - because he himself, as he got older, had no intention of saying goodbye to his "younger self".
What's more, after a series of events that have happened in recent times...... Since even the "reality" of your child crossing into another world and dying there is acceptable, there is nothing you can't accept about this thing, right?
Not to mention that his wife awakened NT, even if his wife rubbed a few ice guns in front of him one day and praised biubiubiu on the spot, it was not impossible......
"What about me?"
"You're fine, it's the same as usual...... Oh, don't scare me, if you become like those people, what will I do!"
Facing her husband with a strange expression, his wife was slightly stunned, then reacted, and pinched her husband's waist with an unkind face: "I'm going to die! You actually question my trust in you! No...... Those words are even a betrayal of your own soul!"
“...... Well, then I'm relieved. ”
Fortunately, his wife did not become any strange person...... Although for some unknown reason, there seemed to be some inexplicable change in her senses, but as long as her personality and mind remained the one she knew well, there was nothing to worry about - there were "professionals" when it came to unscientific but magical matters, anyway, wasn't there?
"If you have some foreboding for a while, remember to tell me when your head flashes. ”
"Don't make a fuss, I'm a woman who has basically passed her expiration date, and I'm one foot away from reaching the age of my aunt, what kind of Tifa is COS...... And we don't have a moonlight cannon in our car!"
=============
"How's the situation in Australia?"
"We still can't make effective observations! We've tried several things, but we still can't break through the weird black fog over there in Sydney -- what should I say? Whether it's radio waves or sound waves, it's as if they've been directly absorbed!"
"It's not so much about absorption...... It's like being 'eaten', right?"
"Uh, this ......"
"Don't care about this, we're not completely unacceptable to those things, what happens in this world is so strange that everything has to be explained from a scientific point of view, it's too tiring...... Hmph, sometimes, obsessing with 'science' can also be said to be a kind of 'superstition', isn't it? Trust your intuition and feelings, your task is not to give a final conclusion, what you need is to say what you have observed, what you think, that is the job of other people. ”
......
"Fifty years ago, we didn't have access to those things...... Hehe, it seems that it's not a bad thing. (To be continued......)
