Wu Ming waited for an hour. During this period, he kept calling. He even ran out to the nearest hospital to look for Li Xia, but he could not find Li Xia.
The time has reached 8:15, and even if he finds Li Xia at this moment, he is afraid that it will be too late to rush back. Wu Ming is very upset. In fact, half an hour ago, he was struggling whether to go back by himself, but now, he
Finally, I decided to immediately return to the fortress I built.
Because there is no time left, if you continue to delay, you will even have to be trapped in it. The terrifying scene after the card is activated is enough to experience once in this life.
But at this moment, Wu Ming's cell phone rang.
A minute later, he hurried downstairs and ran to the People's Square 500 meters away. The call just now was from Li Xia. In fact, Li Xia had been calling Wu Ming constantly, but he just got through. On the phone
, Li Xia told Wu Ming that she had planned to go home after leaving the hospital, but now she was stuck in People's Square.
Naturally, Wu Ming didn't know the specific situation. The call was cut off again in the middle of the conversation. He now had two choices. One was to return to his safe house immediately, close the heavy security door, lock the doors and windows, and wait for the disaster to strike.
Go care about other people's lives. The other option is to go to People's Square and find the trapped Li Xia.
Time waits for no one, so Wu Ming finally chose the latter. The reason may be because Li Xia is his good friend, or because of the mysterious mark, or because Wu Ming cannot guarantee that he can get back before eight o'clock, and
If you just go back after you've already arrived, wouldn't all your previous efforts be in vain?
Wu Ming's current physical fitness is comparable to that of some athletes. It only takes two minutes to run all the way to the People's Square.
Only when he arrived at People's Square did Wu Ming know why Li Xia was blocked here.
At this moment, the People's Square and the surrounding streets are full of people. These people are so excited that they have blocked the roads with some obstacles and do not allow any vehicles to pass. Opposite the People's Square are government agencies. Some of these people are sitting in the streets.
On the ground, some people were holding slogans written on white cloth in their hands. After looking at the slogans written by those people, Wu Ming knew what was going on.
In the past few days, many people have died due to the continuous falling of "meteorites" in Yucheng. Wu Ming alone knew that a fall last night killed more than 80 people.
People cannot die in vain. The relatives and friends of the deceased naturally want an explanation, but the official attitude makes it difficult for these family members and relatives to be angry. First, they are not allowed to enter the area where the incident occurred, and they are tight-lipped and do not disclose any information, and even do not allow family members to
Retrieve the body. Of course, the family members who wanted to be buried in peace stopped. They asked the government to reveal the truth. They demanded compensation, and it was a large amount of compensation. They also wanted the family members' bodies to be taken back for burial. Unfortunately, none of these demands were granted.
, and people who were tired of the lies told by official spokespersons used their own methods to find solutions to the problem.
That was a mass demonstration, and it lasted from 8 o'clock this morning until now. At this moment, thousands of people gathered in the huge People's Square, and with the nearby people running to watch the excitement, there were as many as tens of thousands of people. Naturally, there will be
The road was blocked and there were many riot police surrounding the area to isolate the troublemakers.
Wu Ming looked at his watch and saw that the time was already eight twenty. At this time, he suddenly realized that time passed so quickly. He had not found Li Xia yet. Even if he found Li Xia immediately and went back, it would be too late.
It's just strange that Wu Ming is not so scared at this time. Since the possibility of rushing back before the disaster happens is getting smaller and smaller, it is better to make other plans. Moreover, Wu Ming has thought about this possibility before.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have brought the armor and Tang Dao.
The communication is still very poor. Most of the time, the mobile phone cannot make calls at all. I don’t know why. Maybe everyone is using the communication network during this time period, or it may be other factors. In short, since the advent of the card, the communication network has
It had good times and bad times, and today it is even more paralyzed in large areas.
Wu Ming once suspected that it might be related to the vitality floating in the air. Of course, this was just a guess and there was no evidence to prove this.
But for Wu Ming, the trouble caused by this situation is that when he can't get through the phone, it can be imagined how difficult it is to find someone in such a chaotic situation.
Li Xia sat in the car, looking at the notification of communication failure on the screen of her mobile phone, and threw it aside helplessly.
"Xia Zi, don't worry. There's no such thing as blocking the road and making trouble. It's okay if they make trouble. But it's strange. What you said this time seems evil to me.
Jiner, rocks falling from the sky, this is a weird thing that I have never seen in my life, and so many people died, and the government didn't say anything, and even the bodies were not allowed to be seen by relatives. If it were me, I would have to go and make a fuss.
.I called my uncle in the countryside a few days ago. He said that something big was going to happen. He said that the Lord of Hell was going to take someone in. He also told me to go back to the countryside to take refuge. He said it lightly.
How can it be so easy? We outsiders have finally found a foothold in Yucheng, how can we go back just as soon as we say we want to go back? My uncle is so nagging."
In the driver's seat, a middle-aged man about forty years old said that he was Li Xia's neighbor, his surname was Guo, and he made a living by driving taxis. He was resting at home today, but Li Xia couldn't get a taxi, so Brother Guo helped to see her off.
I was stuck here when I came back.
As for the sick aunt, arrangements have been made for her to be hospitalized.
8:50 p.m.
The taxi remained motionless. Brother Guo turned on the radio, but strangely he could not receive any radio stations, only a burst of chaotic noise.
"Weird!" Brother Guo murmured, "The radio is also causing trouble for me today!"
At this moment, a strange noise suddenly came from the radio. It was extremely noisy, as if a hundred cats were scratching the glass with their claws.
The next moment, the noise suddenly stopped. At the same time, the street lights, shops, and even car lights all went out in an instant, as if someone suddenly turned off the power.
"What's going on?" Brother Guo was stunned. He looked back at Li Xia, who was also stunned, and then raised his head to go out. It didn't matter at this glance. Wherever he looked, there was darkness.
"Power outage?"
If someone looked from the sky to the ground at this moment, they would find that the entire Yucheng was plunged into darkness, and the crowd gathered in the People's Square were also stunned, obviously not expecting a sudden power outage.
"This must be a trick played by those officials. They think they can make us leave by turning off the electricity? Dreaming, if you don't tell us one, two, three today, we won't leave. My poor brother will
You were twenty-five years old, you just graduated and died before you got married, and you didn't even let us see the body. What kind of peace of mind do you have?"
"Yeah, don't say you're going to cut off the electricity for us today. Even if you shoot at us, we won't leave. There are reporters at the scene. I don't believe you can cover up the sky with one hand!"
The brief silence brought about by the sudden power outage was soon replaced by a louder voice of dissatisfaction.
Wu Ming looked at the street lights that suddenly went out, but his expression was ugly. He knew that this was not an ordinary power outage. This was the most violent collision between another space and their space. This collision seemed silent, but in fact it would
There are many 'wormholes' opened, and from now on, the energy in the air will come from scratch. The opening of the wormholes will even produce a unique electromagnetic storm. This is the reason for the sudden power outage.
Wu Ming is not a scientist, so naturally he cannot explain the principle of sudden power outage, but he knows that soon, maybe a few minutes or even ten seconds later, those previously dropped cards will be activated. Because the energy collector on his wrist has started
There was a beeping sound, which proved that there was vitality in the air.
After swallowing, Wu Ming looked at his watch again. The current time was 8:53 pm. Nine o'clock was only an approximate time. Perhaps those cards had been activated the moment the power was cut off.
Just as Wu Ming guessed, at a crash point about three kilometers away from the People's Square, the vitality shield that was originally used as a protection around the card suddenly disappeared at this moment. Several researchers around were stunned when they saw the card.
Suddenly exploded.
The same thing happens for all card drop points.
Several special police officers in charge of surrounding security and security heard a loud noise coming from inside, followed by several miserable screams. Then the sound suddenly stopped, but they fell into silence for an instant.
"What's going on? Xiao Wang, Xiao Huang, you go and have a look." Zhang Heng, the guard squad leader, looked alert at this moment. The sudden power outage just now made this alert special police officer feel that something was wrong. Obviously this was not an ordinary power outage, an ordinary power outage.
Could a power outage cause all the radios they carry to stop working?
Because they accepted a special mission, the special police on duty here had real guns and live ammunition. Xiao Wang and Xiao Huang opened the safety of the police submachine guns in their hands, and then slowly walked over one after the other.
But before they could walk in, they vaguely saw two researchers wearing white coats walking out.
"Dr. Xu, it's you, what happened just now?" Seeing two familiar figures coming out, Xiao Wang breathed a sigh of relief, but he put down the muzzle of the gun and was about to walk over.
At this moment, the power suddenly came back on, and the two researchers looked like they were under the light. Immediately, Xiao Wang and Xiao Huang, as well as Zhang Heng, the security squad leader behind them, suddenly changed their expressions.
The faces of the two researchers were bloodless at the moment, and their eyes were gray and white. Their mouths were opened extremely wide, exceeding the maximum angle of human mouth opening, so that their faces were torn open, revealing bloody wounds.
The skin and flesh were like rags, hanging between the upper and lower jaws, and blood fell on the ground drop by drop, and a pair of thick and sharp black 'big teeth' grew out of their mouths, like a pair of sharp pliers.
While Xiao Wang was still dazed, the man he called Dr. Xu let out a terrifying scream, and then rushed forward at a speed comparable to that of a cheetah. Xiao Wang felt as if he had been hit head-on by a speeding car, and was directly hit.
He threw himself a few meters away, but before he could react, his throat was torn open by a pair of sharp teeth, and blood spattered for a moment.
Bang bang bang bang!
A series of gunshots rang out, which could be heard even several kilometers away. Wu Ming looked up at the direction from which the sound came, and sighed secretly, thinking that what was supposed to come was finally coming.
At this time, he finally saw Li Xia, who was waving to him in a taxi crowded with people.
Squad leader Zhang Heng was half-sitting on the ground. The bullets in the submachine gun in his hand had been exhausted. The ground was covered with bullet casings and blood stains. There was a huge wound on his chest that was so deep that the bone could be seen, and blood was flowing out uncontrollably.
The wound was opened by the big teeth in Dr. Xu's mouth, which were sharper than a knife.
Zhang Heng sprayed blood from his mouth. He couldn't believe this was reality. He watched his men being killed by the two monsters one by one. Then, more than a dozen monster insects the size of an adult's arm crawled out from nowhere.
, these strange insects have six pairs of insect limbs, their bodies are divided into three sections, and their surfaces are covered with a layer of black carapace. Like a mutated prawn, they crawl into the mouths of Xiao Wang, Xiao Huang and other warriors very quickly.
, then the dead man suddenly twitched and then stood up again.
Their mouths were torn open, and big teeth like Dr. Xu's were grown, which were sharp and filled with disgusting mucus. Then they stared at a pair of dead gray eyes and rushed towards him with a scream.
"Damn, am I dreaming?" This was Zhang Heng's last thought before he fell into darkness.
The same thing happens with other card drop points.
