Across the driveway, under the bright afternoon sunshine, purple-white butterfly-shaped petals swayed gently in the breeze.

The bunches of wisteria flowers are very beautiful. Since the abnormal temperature, many flowers have already ignored the normal flowering period and competed to bloom. However, in this community, most of the beautiful flowers were planted in the small garden, and now they have disappeared due to the fire.

For ashes.

The wisteria in front of us is the most brilliant among the few flowers left in the community today.

You Xi looked around the window sill. There were no footprints or other traces. She held the window sill and jumped out with a slight jump. She bent down and picked up a small stone on the ground. She stood there and used her fingers to push the stone.

Knocked out.

The small stone accurately hit a bunch of wisteria flowers. She deliberately relaxed her strength, and the stone took on a little energy and knocked down several petals.

You Xi seemed to be standing there with a calm expression, but in fact, in the other hand behind her back, she had quietly pinched the [High Temperature Perfume].

If it is a mutated plant, no matter whether it is cold weapons or robbing, it will have little effect. Only the use of fire can cause the greatest damage.

A few purple-white petals fell, and the wisteria flower in front of her was still swaying silently in the breeze as before. There was nothing strange about the flowers, leaves, or vines.

She not only used her eyes to see, but also let go of her five senses to hear and feel, but still found nothing.

It seems that the wisterias in front of me have not mutated.

But there may be a second possibility, that is, not only has it mutated, it has also mutated in another direction...

Everyone waited for more than an hour, but the police didn't come. It was probably that another emergency occurred somewhere and was delayed. Everyone understood this, after all, the situation outside is not what it used to be.

You Xi and others had already exited the room where the accident occurred. Xu Yan closed the windows and doors, preparing to open them again when the police came to investigate.

But when the police didn't come, several people were not idle. They were dealing with the problem of pets being kept in the locker room. Nowadays, residents who have pets at home but refuse to leave them temporarily are uniformly marked and hostile by other residents.

The cute pets of cats, dogs, rabbits, turtles, goldfish, hamsters and other animals in the past have become the number one targets of vigilance.

Seeing that she was not needed here for the time being, You Xi said hello to Xu Yan and asked him to message her if he had anything to do, and then turned around and returned to the building.

When she got home, she found that her parents, who had been busy in the kitchen these days, were standing in front of the south-facing floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room, scrolling through their mobile phones and tablets, and looking outside in a certain direction from time to time.

"What's wrong?" She felt something was wrong.

"A hot search just broke out, something happened at the temporary residential center renovated by the Chengxi Gymnasium." Fan Qi turned around, her expression solemn and sad as never before, "It is said that all the people who were placed there died overnight.

...And he died silently in his sleep..."

"What!?" You Xi was shocked, "Is this true or false news?"

Fan Qi didn't speak, she clicked a few times on the tablet, opened a saved video, and handed it to her.

You Xi took it, but the video wasn't very clear because the light was very dim. It seemed like it was indoors at night, with only a few dim yellow floor lamps.

The person who took the video seemed to be crying. She kept her voice low because of fear. She pushed a middle-aged woman on the bed and called her mother in a crying voice, but she didn't know whether she was fast asleep or not.

He passed out and remained motionless.

She suppressed her cry and turned around to change the bed. Because of her movement, You Xi could clearly see the environment she was in. It was similar to gray partitions. Each partition only had two beds and two bedside tables.

There are some scattered items on the ground nearby.

She recognized it. It was the temporary center for the renovation of the gymnasium.

The scene after that was horrifying. The young woman holding the cell phone went to the next few cubicles and gently called the people on the bed to "sleep", but no one responded.

In the gloomy room, everyone was lying on the bed, as if they were dead...

At the end of the picture, she took a selfie of her own face. Because the light was dim, only the outline of her face could be seen. She was leaning next to her mother's bed, her voice was trembling, her words were incoherent with endless despair.

"...There is something here, I don't dare to make too much noise, I'm afraid it will attract it, I don't know what it is... I stayed in the toilet for about half an hour, and my mother stopped moving after I came out

…

It killed my mother and everyone here... Everyone is dead. I don't know if I am going to die too... I don't dare to run away. This place is very big. It may be hidden somewhere... Why

, will the world suddenly become like this?

Our home is gone, everything is gone. My mother and I came here, thinking that the situation could not get any worse... At least she and I are still alive. We feel that we are lucky compared to some people... But, why

…

Is this the end of the world? Is this planet really driving away humans because we are destroying the environment and not cherishing the planet? But I have never done those things. I am so scared... I have already called the rescue team. Why are they

Not yet...Wait a minute, I heard a sound, it seemed like footsteps..."

After that, the video disappeared.

"The person who posted this video was not the person involved, but was said to be a friend of hers who sent it to her after filming. She had been waiting for an official announcement, but there was no news until noon. The news even mentioned that there was a crisis for animals and plants in the city.

It's coming to an end, and everyone will be able to resume their previous lives soon, so she posted this video online.

She used to be an Internet celebrity. She first clicked on this video directly for the audience to watch during the live broadcast, and then uploaded it to several platforms at the same time. It was deleted many times at first. Later, other people also said that their friends lived in the gym.

In the temporary residence center in Chengdu, I used to contact him every day, but today I have been unable to contact him. After that, more and more people began to pay attention to this matter, and now it can no longer be suppressed, and it has just become a hot search topic."

After Fan Qi finished speaking, she took the tablet from You Xi and clicked a few more times. There were several new videos, all taken by the public, from various angles, some on the balcony and some inside the window.

.

In the video, there are ambulances, rescue team cars, police cars...

"These were taken early this morning by people living around the stadium, and it was because of this incident that they were posted online one by one."

"So, is this true?" You Xi took out his mobile phone and opened the Internet platform. There was no need to search because the whole Internet was talking about it now.

People are concerned about various speculations and are panicking. They originally thought that normal life would be back to normal in a few days. Many people’s homes have run out of fresh food, and they have begun to rely on instant noodles, rice and pickles. Everyone is anxious

I hope things can return to normal soon so they can go shopping.

But now, everyone is driven into a deep valley of despair.

They even hope that this incident is fake, that the video is fake, and that those who make subsequent comments are also fake. Everyone hopes that someone will refute the rumors, but this hot search has been trending for more than an hour, and more and more people have posted it.

After watching various videos, everyone finally compared them and found that these videos and the people who spoke out only repeatedly confirmed the authenticity of this incident.

Both You Feng and Fan Qi were extremely uneasy, even though they had a star house next to them, a safe room, a daughter to protect them, and considerable supplies. But the death of a rabbit and a fox are tragic, let alone being human beings. No one can turn a blind eye to such a tragedy.

.

Who doesn’t want to live in a peaceful and ordinary era? Even if life is full of trivial troubles, complicated relationships, work that you don’t want to deal with, and living the same boring life day after day, it is still happiness.

life.

But now, they seem to have just understood the meaning of the word apocalypse.

You Xi saw her parents looking sad and stepped forward to hug them from behind.

She didn't say anything, just patted their backs gently.

It was not until much later that You Xi and the others understood that this incident was neither accidental nor inevitable.

This is the biological backlash - the backlash of humans setting fire to animals and plants on a large scale.

The police didn't come until the evening.

Xu Yan and others soon learned about Soure. Everyone felt heavy and went back to their residences.

This incident was broadcast on the news in the evening. It was the first mass casualty incident in S City after a large number of animals and plants mutated.

Reporters said that this time it was a mass poisoning death. It is still unclear what kind of mutated creature it was, and experts are currently investigating it urgently.

There were survivors in this incident, but they were not many and they were still in coma.

The girl in the video has also been placed in a certain hospital. She was not poisoned or in a coma, but she was obviously frightened and had an emotional breakdown and needed the treatment of a psychiatrist.

At the same time, the news official said that starting from tomorrow, various transport vehicles will be arranged to deliver fresh food packages to the people. They hope that people can persist and not go out for the time being.

People from each district and street will be responsible for these arrangements, and rescue teams will escort and follow them to ensure that every district, every community in the district, and every household in the district receives fresh food packages.

Of course, these foods are distributed for free, but the delivery times are different. Please wait patiently and don't compete. We guarantee that one household can receive it...

"Death from collective poisoning?" You Xi leaned against the window of the Star House and couldn't help but look back at the city outside. What kind of creature could it be that quietly poisoned two to three hundred people at the same time in the middle of the night?

She really couldn't imagine any creature that could do this.

Fan Qi and You Feng were in normal condition. After watching the news and bathing in the star room, they went back to the tent to sleep early.

You Xi dimmed the light of the camping lamp and continued to lean against the window to search for various information on the Internet, trying to find any clues.

She also followed several WeChat groups. After reading various discussions and messages, she would also leave messages and ask if there were any unexplained disappearances in other communities, something similar to the stadium incident, or if there were other strange things happening in the surrounding area.

This investigation lasted until late at night. When You Xi was getting ready to go to bed, he heard a strange sound.

The sound came from the living room outside the Star House.

Although their family of three now sleeps in the Star House, they still lock the door and lock every window every night. Even if something enters the building, it cannot enter their home.

To be on the safe side, You Xi quickly put on protective clothing, then put on a mask and walked out of the star house.

The curtains in the living room facing south are wide open, and long shadows hang on the glass.

She looked closer and found that the shadows were actually bunches of wisteria flowers.

The wisteria flowers that were supposed to bloom under the corridor in the community are now hanging in bunches outside the glass wall of their home, and are even swaying slightly in the wind. The purple and white petals overlap in bunches, and they look beautiful even at night.

.

She quickly noticed something strange.

No! This is not a wisteria flower!

This is - butterfly!

Dozens - no, hundreds or even thousands of purple and white butterflies are hanging on and biting each other, hanging down like petals.

Probably when she walked to the window, the butterflies finally moved. In an instant, the petals spread out, flying in the air, and then rushed towards the glass together, clinging tightly to the glass.
