The red mist has the characteristic of blocking sight. The visibility is only 30 meters as far as the eye can see, and it is impossible to see clearly even one meter further back.
Suppressing the panic in his heart, Mu Chen looked away.
He is an ordinary college student.
He grew up with his younger sister in an orphanage. As an adult, he managed to live with his younger sister in Han City by working part-time.
Fortunately, he studied hard on his own with his super memory and finally got admitted to a first-class university in Han City.
Because of her good looks, she is very popular in school.
Coupled with the long-term work-study program, in addition to part-time income, the annual scholarship is enough for him and his sister's daily expenses.
However, misfortune came suddenly.
Two weeks ago, a car accident took away his legs, and the diagnosis report in black and white officially informed him that he would spend the rest of his life in a wheelchair.
The huge bad news almost caused him to collapse.
What cheered him up again was the information that often appeared in his mind.
He didn't know whether this function was good or bad. For example, right now, a piece of information appeared in his mind.
【This is the beginning of an ancient feast, the old era enters its final chapter, until the new era arrives.】
The information frightened Mu Chen, his pupils shrank, and the information disappeared from his mind at the same time.
With a heavy face, he looked at his sister pushing the wheelchair behind him, with a trace of worry in his eyes.
"The weather forecast didn't say there will be special weather today. The fog is so weird. Brother, let me tell you... let's go back to the ward?" Mu Jiu'er asked tentatively.
Since the car accident, her originally lively sister has become extremely well-behaved overnight. She always takes care of Mu Chen's daily life. Because she is worried that her brother will become sensitive after losing his legs, she even deliberately avoids some words when speaking.
"Well, let's go back. This fog is very weird. We don't want to stay outside anymore."
Mu Chen tried hard to loosen the bandage wrapped around his body, but soon he was distracted by the information in his mind.
[You realize that this is not a simple fog. Based on the information obtained previously, could this be the beginning of the end?]
The information in his mind made his face look uncertain.
"The end of the old era? The end?" he thought to himself.
[Don’t think too much! You need to find water and food as soon as possible!]
"Water and food?" He could feel the content in the message becoming more and more serious.
Without any further hesitation, he turned to Mu Jiuer and said in a deep voice, "Let's go to the supermarket right away! Right now!"
The brother and sister had not taken a few steps before the outline of a crowd appeared at the edge of their vision. As they approached, chaotic sounds continued to be heard.
"I know! This is a survival game, right?!"
A boy in a junior high school uniform in the crowd jumped up and shouted: "I have seen content like this in novels. At the beginning, ordinary people are gathered together and then assigned tasks or survival challenges. No wonder the mobile phone has no signal."
The boy grabbed his father's hand and shook it excitedly: "Look, Dad, I said everything will get better! Your illness will definitely get better! As long as we successfully complete the task this time, everything will get better." The tone was momentary.
Seems incoherent.
There were doubtful looks from the people around, but no one took the initiative to talk to them. They just looked at the father and son silently with strange eyes.
The noise became louder and louder, and the scene became chaotic.
Mu Chen, who was walking among the crowd, was surprised as to why so many people appeared downstairs.
But when he passed the door of the emergency building, he knew the answer. At this time, the building was dark and the power was out...
at the same time.
An old man in a white coat gradually climbed up the steps of the emergency building, holding a loudspeaker and shouting: "Don't panic, everyone, I am the director of Han Central Hospital, please stop and listen to me!"
After repeating the words three or four times, the situation slowly came under control. Mu Jiuer pushed him and subconsciously stopped.
When everyone returned to order, the dean spoke again: "The incident occurred suddenly and on a huge scale. Everyone should know that this is a natural disaster! I believe that such a large-scale anomaly will definitely be discovered by the outside world. Now we must treat it rationally and stay calm.
Just wait for outside rescue!”
The old dean’s words are over.
The scene did get better, and people at the foot of the steps began to whisper again, but it was obviously not as chaotic as before.
"Jiu'er, don't waste time here, let's go to the hospital's supermarket as soon as possible." Mu Chen said in a deep voice.
Mu Jiu'er has always trusted her brother 100%. She didn't ask why, but just gradually quickened her pace.
"Hey, those two people over there, please don't move around. What if there's an accident? Don't cause trouble for us!"
A doctor who was temporarily in charge of security shouted to the brother and sister.
"Ignore him and keep going."
Seeing Mu Jiu'er pushing the wheelchair without responding and her figure gradually disappearing into the red mist, the doctor's angry and angry voice could be heard faintly.
"It's so hard to persuade a damn ghost with good words!"
Within a few minutes, the brother and sister began to raid the supermarket.
The supermarket owner was already grinning from ear to ear.
This was the first time he saw such an energetic young man.
Because all mobile phones were disconnected and online payment was inconvenient, Mu Chen directly restored the factory settings of the mobile phones he bought last year and gave them to his boss. The only request he made was that the boss provide him with a backpack.
Soon!
A worn-out hiking bag. Except for two 1.5-liter barrels of mineral water, the rest of the space was filled with compressed biscuits, candies and chocolates. Before leaving, he asked the supermarket owner to take off the urban map on the wall and stuff it into the hiking bag.
.
A thick scarlet fog filled the land.
[You think the current supplies and water resources are barely enough for an emergency, but are you really ready?]
The information in his mind appeared again, but Mu Chen didn't hesitate at all. He and Mu Jiu'er had already returned to the emergency room.
The noisy crowd gave him some comfort, just as he was contemplating his next plan.
There is a change in the sky!
A strange light shines from the red mist, forming patterns in the sky that attract everyone.
"Hiss~~~" Mu Chen took a breath of cold air.
A huge countdown appeared above everyone's heads.
Countdown 99:59:54
The numbers are actually changing accurately.
"What's this?"
"Is this a countdown to the dissipation of the red mist?"
"Oh my God! My baby hasn't been fed yet! If he stays in the hospital, his house will be demolished when he goes back!" shouted a young woman with beautiful legs.
"What kind of baby is so powerful? A twenty-year-old baby?"
"Your baby is only twenty years old. He has just turned two years old and is an Alaskan!"
"Oh, then your baby's size should be big enough for you to bear."
The person who spoke was not distracted, and the person who asked the question was very casual.
Most people were stunned speechless by the vision in the sky.
"Such a scene is rare to see in a century! No! It's unique!"
Because there is no Internet, many people are using their mobile phones to take pictures of the countdown in the sky.
Some people even suggested that everyone go back to their homes, and people's dissatisfaction could be vaguely heard.
"You can stay here if you want. My home is not far away. You should be able to go back if you feel your way around."
Several people formed a small group and discussed preparing to go home together.
