It stands to reason that usually the outside is surrounded by red mist, and when the sun rises, the red fog is illuminated by the light, and the sky and the earth will turn into bright blood red, and when the sun sets, the light disappears, and the world will become black and red, dark. red. In short, the main color of this world is red.
But today is different. Sitting in front of the barbershop, the boss looks at the sky with deep frowns.
Because in his pupils, today's dusk is a bit weird, the sky outside is no longer blindly dark red, but three points of gray in the dark red, adding three points to the already bloody sky Depressed gloom.
"The weather is not right, let's go back!" Seeing the weather, the boss didn't hesitate, and immediately stood up from the steps in front of the barber shop, turned around and opened the door, and shouted at the people inside: "Hurry up!" , it will be dark in a while."
"Oh." Xiaojing and the others listened to the boss very much, because he knew that things that could change the color of these clones were usually big things—and in the last days, things that could be called big things —It’s also a matter of life and death.
Therefore, the few people did not hesitate any longer, and got up separately.
"Here, this gun is for your self-defense." Before leaving, Wang Pengfei gave the middle-aged man a special military pistol—this pistol is very powerful, and it is his usual personal equipment, but fortunately, this kind of thing He still has spares, but it's rare to see such a happy family today, so he can't help but feel a little compassion.
No matter how strong the heart is, there is also a soft side—Wang Pengfei still remembered that when the end came, he had such a beautiful family, and his youngest son was about the same size as the fat boy in front of him.
Therefore, he, who is usually as firm as a rock, gave a rare kindness once, and then left here with No. 1 without looking back—compassion is a luxury, so this feeling is not worth lingering on.
And standing inside the door of the barber shop, watching the crowd leave, the middle-aged woman who had been silent next to the owner of the barber shop spoke.
"Why do you have the time to talk so much to a group of strangers today? Are you not afraid that they are bad people?"
"Even if they are bad people, they should not be ordinary people." The middle-aged man looked at the pistol in his hand, and then at the direction they left.
"How do you know they are not ordinary people?"
"Ordinary people, who has the leisure and interest to dye their hair at this juncture?" the middle-aged man said.
"Oh." The woman nodded suddenly, and then continued to ask as if remembering something: "When I saw them leave just now, their faces were in a hurry, and they also said about the weather. Nothing will happen this winter, right?"
"Something will definitely happen this winter." The middle-aged man took a deep breath, "And what we can do is to do our best, and then..."
"Resign to fate!"
After saying this, his three-year-old child suddenly burst into tears because he felt the heavy atmosphere in the room.
It was gloomy.
It was gray.
Walking on the snow-covered streets of Beijing, Milan felt extraordinarily cold.
"The weather seems to be really wrong. I don't remember it being so cold just now. Why is it so cold when you come out of the barber shop?" Milan said, arms crossed to hold his chest, resisting the influx of cold wind.
"The weather has changed, and the composition of the red mist should have changed." No. 1 didn't feel that cold in Wang Pengfei's arms, but seeing this kind of sky, his chill came from the bottom of his heart, "More than four years Later, the red mist blocked most of the sunlight, but also absorbed and retained most of the heat, keeping the surrounding temperature in a stable state. Therefore, the temperature during the day and night in these years is about the same, but in the past four years The winter in the past is not very cold. But this winter, it seems that there will be some changes."
"Do you want to inform everyone to keep warm when you go back?" Milan heard the words of No. 1, and his kind heart was once again troubled, "If the weather really changes according to what you said, let the research institute notify the army, at least let the whole city The people here have some measures to keep warm. With so many people, it is easy to get cold if they don’t have enough to eat. If the temperature drops again, many people will freeze to death, right?”
"Well, the notification still needs to be notified. I don't know how much effect it will have." The boss nodded, "Dead night, dead night. That guy Liu Xinmin can't figure it out. What is the situation of dead night... No, we have to hurry Go back and see how much the composition of the red mist has changed. After all things are done, it is always better to be prepared than unprepared... Pengfei, speed up your pace. You two also keep up... "
"Okay." Wang Pengfei nodded when he heard No. 1's words, and Xiao Jing and Milan also quickened their pace behind them.
Wading through the waist-deep snow all the way, they walked back to the research institute in a few heavy snow tracks. Then the snow gradually disappeared, and the surrounding area was cleaned up—this is the safest place in the whole of Beijing, and it is also the best place to be taken care of by others—so, at first glance, this is the place with the least apocalyptic atmosphere place.
But only those who live here know that this is the center of the doomsday storm. It looks calm, but if you take a wrong step, you will fall into the bottomless abyss, because next door to them, there is a person who can't be killed by a small nuclear bomb. People are always eyeing the existence of everyone.
"Finally back." Walking on the clean road, Milan vigorously slapped the snow on his thighs and ankles, and after shaking off the wind and snow, everyone entered the huge row laboratory.
Opening the glass door, Xiaojing has not spoken since she came out of the barbershop. After returning to the experimental area at this moment, there is no delay, and she directly walks towards Liu Chang, or the experiment where Liu Chang's body is located. room, and there, I saw that tall figure from the back.
"Uh, I..." The little girl looked at Liu Chang lying there, seemingly unchanged and still lifeless, and asked, "I want to ask..."
"The operation was successful. Don't worry. Now I'm subconsciously inducing his brain. If nothing happens, within seventeen days, within seventeen days, your brother Liu Chang will be able to appear in front of you alive and kicking." Gao Da's back Turning his head, his face showed joy and shock, "This body evolves really fast, it's unbelievably fast. I think it won't take long to evolve to the coelenterate ability."
"That fellow Li Qingshui, what exactly did you inject into your body?" The old man was talking - as if he was talking to a little girl, but also as if he was talking to the unconscious Liu Chang, and even more like talking to himself.
