No one knows how those "people" came up.
The bus did not stop halfway after driving on the expressway around the city and maintained a speed of 80 kilometers per hour.
But the number of people in the car has indeed increased.
Maybe only Li Yinhang found out about it, maybe all the people in the car found it.
It's just that no one dared to say it.
She lowered her entire body, her nose full of the hot, sultry breath of the enclosed space.
The air conditioner in the bus hit 16 degrees, and the air conditioner port was right above her head.
The wind was strong and the sound was audible.
And her fingers were clenched tightly, and the cold wind and hot sweat slowly flowed down the hair into the neck like reptiles.
… There were indeed many people in the car.
This feeling lingers, but it is unclear exactly where there are more people.
Maybe watching her somewhere behind her.
Maybe it was the man who was sitting two seats in front of her, showing a small patch of stubble.
He may be silently turning his head 180 degrees, staring in his direction.
…
Brain tonic is a human talent.
Since a week ago, this gift of people has been greatly exercised.
At first, it was just one or two unusual disappearances.
For example, when a friend who went out to play together came back with a bag of milk tea, there was no one in front of the cinema.
For another example, a middle-aged chemistry teacher with a pot belly was teaching a drowsy class in a second-year liberal arts class at the bottom of the overall ranking. The language exercise book is a hard book.
When the squad leader was startled by a crisp falling sound, when he raised his head again, there was only a falling whiteboard pen on the ground spinning around.
He stood up angrily and accused: "The teacher is all angry with you."
The deterioration of the situation only took one day to night.
A housewife who was watching a drama with her husband on the sofa noticed that the water in the kitchen was rumbling non-stop.
She was distressed about the water bill, and walked to the kitchen nagging, and found a stack of bowls full of foam in the sink.
Daughter is missing.
Together with her old slippers that would snap when walking.
She walked back to the living room.
The living room was quiet.
A ball game was playing on the TV, a new box of cigarettes had just been unpacked, and the ashtray had been taken out from under the coffee table.
Under the warm ginger light, the family portrait of the three hanging in the living room only casts the reflection of the housewife at a loss.
The disappearance quickly escalated into a "missing incident".
On the TV, the precautions were repeatedly played on a static color screen to remind citizens to stop unnecessary outings in the near future.
Because the data proves that staying in a fixed place cannot avoid the possibility of sudden disappearance; but those who go out and run around cannot be faster.
The whole world seems to have a strange bug that cannot be repaired.
This is not everyone's wild guess.
As early as five months ago, on February 5th, at 6:00 p.m., millions of people saw a huge dialog box in the position of the sun under the background of the red cloud layer burned by the fire cloud. .
[Sunexe is not responding. If you continue to wait, the program may respond]
【Do you want to end this process? 】
【End process cancel】
This dialog quickly disappeared.
The duration is one minute, milliseconds are not bad.
During that time, this huge dialog really caused a storm on the Internet.
One of the most popular sayings is that there is a bug on the earth, and aliens are systematically maintaining the earth.
But the claim was quickly mocked.
The reason is that, as an alien, the maintenance system still uses dows16.
Dialogs appear in various languages over cities around the world.
On a huge rose plantation in Bulgaria.
In the beautiful starry sky like the sea in the small town of Tekapo, New Zealand.
Australia takes its children to the side of the plane window of the summer camp.
The turmoil ended when a certain foreign art group stood up and claimed that this was their performance art, projecting people's deepest fear of reality on the sun.
Although they didn't come up with enough equipment to accomplish this great artistic feat, by then everyone was exhausted from the discussion.
This reason is enough to make everyone feel at ease to turn to the next social hot topic.
Later, some great gods took tens of thousands of photos and compared them one by one.
Because of the time difference, the dialog box in some places happens to be late at night.
However, the position where the dialog box appeared was still closely following the orbit of the sun at that time.
But most ordinary people have long lost interest in this, and the praise is over.
Anyway, there is not a piece of meat missing, and life goes on as usual.
Who would have thought that in five months, the world would become like this.
This always makes people wonder why the familiar dows16 pop-up window appeared at the beginning.
Is this really a human joke
Is some force protesting
Or, just want to give them a warning of danger that human common sense can understand
Li Yinhang really couldn't figure it out, so he simply didn't want to.
life matters.
It is better not to disappear than to disappear.
As a humble bank customer service, she lived in the dormitory provided by the unit with a new colleague who had been employed for less than a few days, and chose to stay on the spot.
My colleague walked into the bathroom and never came back because he couldn't bear the hair he hadn't washed for three days.
Li Yinhang didn't dare to look at it, for fear that he would follow in his footsteps.
So, the leaking water from the unclosed shower head fell on the tiles, ticking for two days.
At such times, she is always grateful for her laziness, and likes to put snacks within a distance that she can touch while lying on the bed with a swipe.
She survived on snacks, sand sculpture videos and chargers, trying to ignore the sound of water dripping on her nerves.
Tick, tick.
Until the rescue team knocked on the door.
Because of the large number of missing people, the organization department changed its response strategy in time, convened volunteers to form a rescue team on a voluntary basis, searched from house to house, and sent children, the elderly, and disabled people who had not disappeared or who were unable to take care of themselves to nearby temporary establishments. Centralized closure in the "safe cocoon room", or delivering food to those who are trapped at home, and assisting those who are unwilling to leave to achieve self-closure.
The volunteers are all uncles and aunts wearing red armbands.
Because the data shows that children under the age of 18 and people over the age of 60 have not yet had any missing cases.
Li Yinhang thought, extending his head is also a knife, and shrinking his head is also a knife.
Re-shrunk here, the food will be finished sooner or later.
She didn't want to live alone in an empty apartment where the sound of water dripping.
Even if she disappears, she hopes to disappear in the crowd.
So she got on this temporarily requisitioned two-door bus.
Before she got into the car, the uncle who was squatting on the driver's face casually said, "Number three."
When Li Yinhang got into the car, he saw two other figures in the back.
A person slept on the side of the double row chair in the penultimate row.
The other also covered his face with his clothes and fell asleep on his back in the last row of seats.
So she suppressed the desire to say hello, came to the fourth-to-last row, and sat down by the window.
A signal jammer is installed in the car.
It's also one of the authorities' recent methods of controlling unprovoked disappearances, enabling high-intensity magnetic field disturbances in small, confined spaces.
But the function and coverage of signal jammers are too limited.
To achieve a comprehensive and effective magnetic field isolation, it is necessary to go to a "cocoon room" made of special materials.
Therefore, the psychological comfort effect of this shielding device may be far greater than the actual effect.
Li Yinhang, who couldn't play with his mobile phone, had no choice but to empty his mind and tried his best to block the dripping sound that had been ringing in his head for a few days.
Tick, tick.
The bus was in this apartment complex and only took three adults away.
The car stopped and went, some people got up and some people left.
There were several children who were sent to children's shelters.
There were two volunteers, one old and one young, who signed up and were sent to the site.
There is a husband who got in the car and regretted it temporarily, and wanted to wait for his wife to come back.
At first, when Li Yinhang saw the person getting into the car, he would glance up curiously, trying to catch up with a few words.
But she soon tires out.
The bus never filled even one-third of the people.
Everyone is a stranger, so naturally they have three points of vigilance, so they sit scattered, and after they are seated, they have no intention of chatting together.
Li Yinhang scolded Wang Ba at the bottom of the river quietly, without saying a word.
They passed a bridge across the river.
A small car was crooked near the bridge pillar, and only the steel skeleton remained. The wind made a high-pitched metallic screeching sound.
squeak - squeak -
Li Yinhang didn't want to think about the cause of the car accident.
She turned her gaze to the inside of the bus, trying to count how many people were in the bus now.
But the next second, the bus rushed into the tunnel.
The overwhelming darkness is coming.
When Bai Shuosuo's sky light came back on, Li Yinhang felt that there was a strange dislocation on his retina.
… There seems to be more stuff in the car than before.
But the senses of reality replaced this fleeting visual afterimage at great speed.
She didn't even have time to compare what went wrong.
But her sixth sense told her that there must be something more.
There were not so many people in the car just now.
Nor is there such a deadly silence.
Various conjectures flashed through her mind.
The fear that piled up one after another made Li Yinhang more and more afraid to raise his head.
She clenched her fingers nervously, afraid to be the first to make a sound.
Who would have thought that because of the excessive force, her knuckles made a crisp sound.
— slap.
This sound created a strange echo in the too silent carriage.
For a moment, Li Yinhang even tightened the muscles in his throat.
Fortunately, she is not alone.
Behind Li Yinhang, a man trembled with extreme control: "Master driver, can you stop? I'm a little uncomfortable..."
The driver did not respond.
… I don’t know if it was an accident or an expectation.
After the dead silence was broken, the man's courage just now increased sharply, and he was about to go to the cab to check the situation.
He had just crossed Li Yinhang's seat when a hand suddenly stretched out from the side, blocking the man's path.
The nervous Li Yinhang was taken aback.
... She didn't even know when someone was sitting right in front of her.
The man glanced down quickly and saw that the man blocking him had dyed silver hair.
The black hair tie was tied in a beautiful scorpion braid halfway over the collarbone, contrasting with a black choker with a silver chain hanging from the slender neck.
Faced with such a good-looking arm, the man suddenly became more courageous.
He relieved: "beauty, don't worry, I'll go check the situation."
Then, Li Yinhang heard the man's clear and clear male voice: "Don't move yet."
... He acquiesced in the title "beauty" with great calmness.
Before the man could recover from the sluggishness, a large number of colorful balloons suddenly poured out from the cab where people should be sitting.
Big purple big blue, big red big green.
The color saturation hurts the eyes.
The balloons fell to the ground, and a girl in the front row screamed in horror and put her foot on the edge of the seat.
Then, out of the hundreds of colorful balloons, a naive head and a pair of short, round hands emerged... a mushroom.
A red mushroom with white spots on the canopy.
It looks no different from Super Mario hiding in bricks and eating mushrooms that grow bigger.
Mushroom shook the umbrella cover exaggeratedly, and neatly arranged the brim like a hat.
Because of its short hands and feet, it looks like a cute pet.
But no one who sees this scene that subverts the world view can laugh.
Mushroom jumped forward clumsily twice, spread out his short hands,
"Welcome everyone, to the world of "Gravity"! Bika is honored to be your guide! Welcome to the trial level—"
Li Yinhang couldn't move anymore.
The scene in front of her was beyond the outline of her mere twenty-four years of life.
She didn't think about why the name "Gravity" was so familiar, but subconsciously observed other people's reactions.
Especially the silver-haired young man who stopped the man in time to get close to the driver just now.
... He wasn't looking at the most eye-catching mushroom.
His eyes quickly swept across the entire carriage, and counted the number of people as quickly as possible.
Li Yinhang was busy taking pictures of cats and tigers, and followed him to make an inventory.
Not counting mushrooms, there are eleven in total.
But Li Yinhang didn't dare to use the word "human" to describe these creatures in the car easily.
Before Li Yinhang's wild thoughts could go further, he saw a half-figure slowly standing on the first row of seats.
... there is actually one more
Seeing that person, the first word that popped out of Li Yinhang's mind was "out of place".
The young man was wearing an inappropriate half-length black lapel trench coat and two-piece suit. He could not tell whether he was tall or straight, but he could only tell from the curve of his neck that he had a good temperament.
His skin is very white, as white as the skylight that pierced through the tunnel just now, and his medium-length hair is slightly curled just up to his shoulders, giving him a dignified and beautiful sense of coldness.
The point is that he is the closest to the mushroom in the whole car, sitting almost on the same level as it.
But he didn't look scared, and even held an apple firmly in his hand.
…and he looked like he was actually working on the mushroom.
Li Yinhang observed it carefully for a while, and found something wrong again.
The eyes he looked at the mushrooms were scattered and confused.
… This person seems to be pure and awake.
Without waiting for Li Yinhang to make any more useless judgments, the sound of shattering from behind made her shrink her neck in fright.
The man in the penultimate row somehow picked up the red emergency escape hammer installed by the window and smashed the window violently.
The moment the glass shattered, a wind of 80 kilometers per hour poured into it.
Before Li Yinhang could calculate his hope of surviving by jumping out of the car under such circumstances, the man couldn't wait to reach out to hold the window frame.
In such a strange situation, it is human nature to escape.
However, after sticking his head out of the window, he had no next move.
No one knows what inhuman pain he suffered at that moment.
The crowd only saw him slumped back to his original place, his face ashen, his hands scratching his wriggling face, as if it was filled with a nest of fluttering insects.
Bang!
After the muffled sound of the material explosion, under the eyes of the public, a shiny colorful mushroom was opened on his neck in a very hierarchical manner.
The snow-white slurry dripped down his shoulders, like mushroom secretions.
The mushroom-sharp girl's voice was almost scraped against the scalps of everyone.
"Please listen to the precautions for the trial level-"
"First, once the copy is opened, don't try to forcibly escape—":,
