night.
The bright moon is like a mirror, casting down delicate moonlight.
The pale moonlight filtered through the windowless windowsill into an abandoned, unfinished building, casting a half-bright, half-dark image of a thin, frail young man's face.
Sand~
There was a slight friction sound as the broken wooden board was stepped on and the rough surface of the board came into contact with the ground full of sand and gravel debris, producing an almost undetectable sandy sound.
There was only a brief sound.
But the strange sound made the owner of the face like a frightened bird. He suddenly opened his eyes and looked around as if he saw enemies everywhere.
The abandoned unfinished building has walls that have not yet been plastered. The bright moonlight from the window can only illuminate a small part of it, while most of it is the deep darkness as black as ink.
In the darkness, it seemed as if a ferocious beast could pounce out at any time and devour anyone.
No, ferocious beasts are not scary.
Some things are far scarier than ferocious beasts.
Sand~
There was another subtle friction sound.
It seems that the toe of the shoe is slightly turned to the left in an environment with a lot of sand and debris, causing slight friction.
It was very faint, but in the silent night, in the young man's trembling breath, and in his full concentration on hearing, it was also very obvious.
Not an illusion!
Not a stray cat or mouse!
The haggard and frail young man was shocked and ran away without hesitation, crawling out of the window sill.
This is the third floor.
Bang!
He landed without any skill, and his ankle groaned in unbearable pain.
But the young man, who was so thin that he seemed only skin and bones, didn't care about anything else and just rushed into the darkness like crazy.
"The target is fleeing to the southeast. Squad D is blocking them. The rest of the squads are following."
"Repeat, southeast direction, Squad D will block the attack, and the rest of the squads will follow."
The dead silent night suddenly became noisy, and figures suddenly appeared from the darkness.
Pure black combat uniforms, bulletproof vests, night vision goggles, special firearms... these are terrifyingly well-equipped armed teams.
Da-da-da! Da-da-da!
Gun flames tore through the darkness and bullets cut through the night sky.
roar!
!
There seemed to be a ferocious beast lurking in the darkness, and its violent roars drowned out the roar of gunfire.
The bodies of the armed men flew out from time to time, and after landing on the ground, they were either broken or bent beyond human form.
"Report! The tranquilizer bullet has failed! The tranquilizer bullet has failed!"
"Request to replace live ammunition! Request to replace live ammunition!"
"Request rejected! The target must be captured alive!"
"We need heavy weapons, otherwise we won't be able to restrict and effectively damage the target!"
"The goal is to break through the blockade. The goal is to break through the blockade."
…
Another place.
"Boss, they have been cleared out, but they are just ordinary beastmen."
"What about Group 2?"
"They are just trash, infected with the mutant rabies virus. It seems that they are just smokescreens."
"What about logistics?"
"The lethality of the mutant rabies virus has been reduced too much. This will only cause more harm. It must be given top priority. This is an open conspiracy."
This night is destined to be restless.
…
Another three days passed in a flash.
"This course ends here. I look forward to having a pleasant class with you next time."
The bald professor who was walking in the classroom suddenly flashed. When he appeared again, he had moved more than ten meters out of thin air and arrived at the podium. After he finished speaking, the whole person completely disappeared into thin air.
Da! Da! Da!
The lights in the trapezoidal classroom lit up one by one, and the silent classroom became noisy again.
"The school is really having fun with the 3D projection for global lectures."
"It's very interesting. When I have money in the future, I will definitely build a laboratory equipped with a projection system."
"It's obvious that the technology is not yet mature. Not only is the picture distorted, but there is also a large delay."
"The main drawback is that it can only be installed in a fixed location, and it must be installed indoors without light. The cost is also high, and the drawbacks are too great."
People in the classroom were gathered in groups of three or five. Some were talking, some were criticizing, and some were already impatiently filing out of the classroom.
"Let's go, your eyes are bloodshot. If you keep going on like this, I suspect you two will die here. Go back to the dormitory and catch up on your sleep."
Xia Xu lazily stood up and stretched, then kicked the seats of Zhang Meng and Lu Dong with his feet.
"I can't sleep. It's like when I suddenly have a good idea while playing a game. I don't want to try it out quickly. I'd better go to the activity room."
Lu Dong drooped his eyelids and stood up listlessly.
"Brother Dong, you are really hardworking. I admire you. I won't accompany you anymore. I have to go back to sleep."
Zhang Mengdu on the side gave a thumbs up in admiration, then picked up the mobile phone on the table and stood up while playing with it.
"The key to the activity room is with me. I declare that the activity room is closed today. No one is allowed to enter. Go back to sleep."
Xia Xu pushed Lu Dong in annoyance, and the group walked out slowly.
"Fuck, Brother Xu and Brother Dong, look at this."
Zhang Meng, who was walking in front and playing with his phone, suddenly swore. He instantly became energetic and stretched his phone in front of Xia Xu and Lu Dong.
"A new movie? The special effects are good, but the picture quality is a bit blurry. And why is the picture so shaky? Is it a fake documentary?"
Lu Dong glanced at it weakly without much reaction.
Currently, the trend of personal live streaming has not yet emerged. Instead, posting pictures and videos on Space, Weibo and Moments is more popular. What Zhang Meng showed them was a short video posted on Weibo.
The video was very blurry and shaking violently. One could only vaguely see a huge, hairy humanoid creature going crazy on the street, smashing cars and pedestrians, while people around it were screaming and running away.
Nowadays, normal people would immediately treat this kind of video as a special effects rumor or a movie trailer. This kind of mimicking scene is very similar to various supernatural videos.
As for the realistic shaky images, there are quite a few pseudo-documentaries shot in this imitation documentary style, and pseudo-documentaries on ghosts and monsters are not uncommon.
“Is this newly issued?”
Xia Xu frowned slightly after seeing the video.
Having experienced so many plots and knowing a lot of inside information, he naturally would not simply regard this kind of video as a special effects synthesis.
Moreover, the picture is so realistic that there is no trace of special effects synthesis at all.
As for the blurry picture, this is a very common problem. In order to save storage resources and traffic, most platforms will re-compress the videos after receiving them uploaded by users. While compressing the file size, it will inevitably reduce the image quality.
"Yes, it was just posted. The most important thing is that this guy said he was live streaming and risked his life to follow the scene and film it."
There was actually a hint of disbelief in Zhang Meng's tone, but it only deepened Xia Xu's speculation.
"Do you know where it is?"
Xia Xu asked.
"Let me ask, this guy is my friend."
Zhang Meng nodded and started typing quickly.
But at this moment, Xia Xu's cell phone rang.
"It seems that it is not necessary."
Xia Xu took out his cell phone and looked at the caller ID, then stopped Zhang Meng and quickly walked to a secluded place nearby.
