Closing his eyes, Liu Chang felt like he had a very long dream. He dreamed that he was outside the earth and saw the earth outside the red mist. And this God-like perspective also gave him the feeling that he is the earth.
Standing above the blue sphere, Liu Chang saw a desolate land.
There seems to be nothing here, only those invisible single-cell life forms, which are slowly dividing and evolving at a snail-like speed.
If they evolve at this speed, until the earth is destroyed five billion years later, this place will still be desolate.
Then, when Liu Chang was silently mourning the desolate land, the originally blue planet was suddenly enveloped by the red mist falling from the sky, turning it into a blood red.
In the red mist, the originally monotonous life group on the earth evolved rapidly and developed countless species. In just a few blinks of an eye, this place became a paradise of green and life.
"Why did it become like this?" Liu Chang muttered to himself.
As soon as his question came out, the red mist on the earth quickly receded, and time went back quickly, and the earth returned to a blue and peaceful place. He seemed to be able to see the greenery on the land, and he could see many magical creatures clinging and moving on it.
Every kind of life is so miraculous, and every kind of life is jumping upwards.
Until the sudden emergence of another life changed everything—human beings.
Only a few million years after the appearance of human beings, the billions of years of life history on the earth have been completely changed.
Since the millions of years since their birth, this group of creatures has continuously changed the face of the earth, and other life forms have also decayed at an extremely fast rate.
He saw that human beings, like the group of disease-causing bacteria on his body, made the earth inflamed and festered rapidly. If this continues, no one can stop its decline.
But just when the land was in extreme decline, the red fog appeared—the red fog, like antibiotics that curb the growth of bacteria, appeared in a timely manner, preventing all of this.
No, no, it's not so much an antibiotic, it's better to say that the red mist is like a oxytocin - it gives other decaying lives a chance to face human bacteria.
It is not aimed at humans.
At the end of the dream, the red mist dissipated after a long period of time, and the "bacteria" on the earth were cleaned up. More than 90% of the green land has been restored here, and all kinds of strange and magical creatures live on it, and this place has become a piece of paradise again.
The dream was long and strange, making it difficult to understand.
At some point the next day, Liu Chang broke free from this dream and opened his eyes. Rubbing his head, letting himself return to reality from the strange dream, Liu Chang could tell from the sunlight passing through the outside that it was already daytime.
He took out the mobile phone in his pocket and checked the time with the remaining power of the mobile phone - 9:40 in the morning.
"It's daytime." Liu Chang sat on the ground and shook his head - no longer dizzy. Then he looked down at the wound on his ankle again, and found that the festering part had miraculously scabbed over, and his physical condition had returned to almost perfect.
"Hey, Liu Tao, wake up." It was the first time Liu Chang experienced the joy of the rest of his life after the catastrophe. He pushed Liu Tao who was sitting next to him vigorously, pushing his stiff body to the ground.
"Liu Tao?" The opponent's body fell to the ground and hit the floor with a "bang". Liu Chang looked at this scene and suddenly felt bad in his heart.
Going forward to straighten the classmate's body, the body is already stiff and sticky at the beginning - the person is dead, and the skin has begun to soften rapidly.
People are dead, so dead that they can't die anymore, and the flesh begins to rot.
"..." Looking at the corpse of his classmate, Liu Chang was speechless for a while.
You know, compared to the severity of the fever yesterday, I was far more serious than the other party, but the world is unpredictable, and no one knows whether I will die in the next moment.
"Sigh, I didn't expect you to die when I opened my eyes." Holding his classmate upright, Liu Chang took out a lighter and cigarettes from another man's body next to him. Put the cigarette near Liu Tao's lips and light it for him.
"Last time you asked me for a cigarette, but I didn't have it. This time you can make do with it." As he spoke, Liu Chang helped Liu Tao again. But as soon as his fingers touched the opponent's arm, he accidentally took off a large piece of sticky flesh.
"The microorganisms have mutated, and even the corpse has become so fast!" Put the piece of skin back on Liu Tao's body, making the opponent's body as complete as possible.
After watching him for a while, Liu Chang stood up, looked around, and found that most of the scattered people lying here yesterday hadn't stood up.
And those who stood up may have left, and the only ones standing at the scene were him and another woman. The woman ignored him, and was crying while hugging a male corpse, crying very quietly, but the back looked extremely sad.
"Oh." Sighing again, Liu Chang thought of his father from the male corpse, so he reached out to feel in his pocket, feeling sticky for a moment. I took my father's fingers out of his pocket and found that the skin and flesh on the fingers had all melted and turned into two white bones.
After finding a barrel of alcohol in the hospital, Liu Chang cleaned his father's fingers, then thought about it, and walked out of the pharmacy.
"Wait, where are you going?" As soon as Liu Chang walked out of the room, he heard a female voice from behind—it was the girl who was sobbing just now.
"I'll go to the orthopedic department or the operating room to see if I can find a bone needle to pierce my father's finger. I'm afraid I'll put it in my pocket and lose it someday." Liu Chang told the truth.
"Can I go with you? If the two of you are together, there will be someone to take care of you." The girl held back her sobs, put down the middle-aged man's corpse in her hand, and followed.
"Well, it's better for the two of you to be together, let's go together." Liu Chang nodded in agreement.
After all, with the current situation outside the world, no matter how you say it, it is safer for two people to be together than to be alone. In fact, Liu Chang had thought of suggesting that the two of them go together before, but seeing the girl crying sadly, he didn't bother her.
When he got closer, Liu Chang took a closer look at the other party, and found that it was a girl slightly older than himself, with an average appearance and an upper-middle figure. She looked very ordinary.
Until she followed, Liu Chang smiled politely at her, the wound on his chapped lips from yesterday had also healed.
The other party also raised the corner of his mouth in response.
But at this moment, the smiles of both of them looked so dry.
"Do you know where the operating room is?"
"Not far ahead." The girl pointed to the corridor outside the pharmacy.
"Okay, let's go together then."
The two walked to the corridor one after the other, and the hospital was very quiet. Liu Chang didn't know where the doctors who used to work here went, and he didn't see any injured people coming in from outside. The whole hospital seemed to be a dead zone, and there was no sound at all—all of this seemed very strange.
Walking through the dense fog corridor, to the room with the words "operating room" in front of the door, Liu Chang pushed the door open with a "squeak".
As soon as he opened the door of the operating room, Liu Chang saw a sky full of black things rushing toward his face, and with a strong "buzzing" sound, he pushed him out. (Note: This scene is a real scene, and a friend of mine who is a policeman encountered it at the scene of the corpse in Xia Tian.)
He was pushed back a few steps by the black shadow, and when Liu Chang saw what was pushing him out, he vomited all over the floor.
It was a group of flies, gathered together like a dark cloud, frightened and exerted strength together, they were able to push people out.
After the flies flew out, Liu Chang resisted the feeling of nausea and walked into the operating room.
The inside is not as pure and quiet as the outside world, but there are voices.
It was the sound of "click" and "click", coming from the operating table. Going around the curtain in front of the operating table, Liu Chang once again saw the scene that made him sick.
A corpse, a corpse that had been disembowelled, a corpse full of maggots.
The sound of "click" and "click" came from those maggots.
"Ouch!" Liu Chang vomited on the ground again.
