Views:

Although the family is not wealthy, Ji Feng, who has never lost money since he was an adult, can't understand Lin Banxia's obsession with the money in the bank card. Song Qingluo has been working in the base for so many years, so it stands to reason that he should have a lot of money, right? Did the money really go to buy antiques? Remembering the rumors in the base, Ji Feng's expression was a little distorted for a while.

Lin Banxia didn't care what Ji Feng was thinking. The moment this incident has developed to now, the moment that hurts him the most is when he sees that his seven-digit bank card has become a three-digit number. At that moment, Lin Banxia's world changes color, the sun and the moon are dark, and the energy He was already admiring himself when he was strong enough to endure it.

"Let's go." Lin Banxia waved her hand and really left.

After a while, the sound of a car starting came from outside the base, and Ji Feng slowly returned to his room. After closing the door, he sat beside the bed and snapped his fingers gently. The solidified time flowed again, and the green light soaked the ground with the raindrops hitting the ground.

Ji Feng heard vague music from a distance, as if someone was shaking a crisp wind chime slightly, the sound was distant and erratic, as if it came from another country.

He was fortunate enough to have seen the appearance of that country. It was very beautiful, beyond human imagination. It's a pity that human beings only exist as a kind of consumables, maybe a few days, maybe years, maybe decades... Until the fragile spirit can't bear the responsibilities that it needs to take, it becomes a useless defective product.

So the world changed again, and new seeds were selected to continue to take on that responsibility.

Ji Feng completely collapsed before it was used. He had seen its appearance, but it broke the moment he came into contact with it. The human spirit is like a fragile and delicate piece of china that shatters into powder if not careful.

Ji Feng closed his eyes and listened carefully to the sound of the rain outside the window, as if he had fallen asleep.

Lin Banxia drove home, and he thought a lot along the way. About himself, about Song Qingluo, about what Ji Feng said.

At this time, he finally understood what Li Su's mother said, "Don't be tempted by them, time is running out". He looked into the rear-view mirror and saw that the green line in the center of his eyes became more and more striking, and the light emitted almost covered his entire pupil.

Lin Banxia stretched out her hand and rubbed it heavily and smiled bitterly. He thought he and Song Qingluo still had a lot of time...

Lowering his eyes to cover the green light, Lin Banxia ran all the way and returned home under the rain.

Lin Banxia pushed open the door and entered, and before she even walked in, she smelled a strong smell of tobacco. He raised his head, and unsurprisingly saw a little spark on the sofa...

"Qing Luo." Lin Banxia called softly, and turned on the light in the living room.

Sure enough, Song Qingluo was sitting on the sofa smoking a cigarette. The ashtray in front of him was full of cigarette butts. It was almost four o'clock now, and it seemed that he should have woken up soon after the time had recovered. When he woke up, he found that Lin Banxia was not around, and the phone couldn't get through, so he sat in the living room and smoked for a long time.

"Where have you been?" Song Qingluo asked him.

"I went to see Ji Feng." Song Qingluo Lin Banxia never liked to hide it, so he walked over to Song Qingluo and sat down, "He was so nervous that he stopped the time."

Song Qingluo didn't answer. He bent down, wiped away the water stains on Lin Banxia's cheeks, and rubbed his hair: "Why don't you bring an umbrella."

"It's too urgent, I forgot." Lin Banxia said.

After wiping her forehead, Song Qingluo's hand stayed on Lin Banxia's eyes for a moment: "What happened, can't you tell me?"

If possible, of course Lin Banxia wants to tell Song Qingluo. But he couldn't do anything - as long as it was involved, he couldn't even write a word, which seemed to be a rule that he couldn't share this secret with anyone.

"Sorry." Lin Banxia said, "I can't help..."

Song Qingluo showed a wry smile. He actually felt a kind of helplessness that only existed when he was young when Lin Banxia rejected him. It was as if everyone thought that the woman by his side was his mother, no matter what he did, it was futile. He was just a little worm trapped on a cobweb. The thread is getting tighter.

"I can't tell." Lin Banxia said, "It's stopping me..."

Song Qingluo was silent for a moment: "It wants to take you away?"

Lin Banxia nodded.

Song Qingluo: "Are you going?"

Lin Banxia shook her head.

Song Qingluo: "What does it want from you?"

Lin Banxia shook her head and said that she didn't know either.

Song Qingluo put out the cigarette that burned to the end, and lit another one: "I don't want to let you go." There was a hint of despair in his voice, "But I don't seem to have any choice."

Lin Banxia felt sour in her heart, thinking of the black boxes next door, he said, "There will always be a way."

Song Qingluo stopped talking, he leaned down and gave Lin Banxia a tender kiss. This kiss was a little eager and possessed with a strong sense of possessiveness, wishing to tear Lin Banxia apart. Lin Banxia wrapped her arms around Song Qingluo's neck, and the two lingered together.

It rained all night and didn't stop until morning. Lin Banxia sank into the soft bed, opened her eyes in confusion, and vaguely asked the person beside her, "What time is it?"

"It's noon." The man beside him replied, "I have something to do and I have to go out."

Lin Banxia was still a little confused, she felt a kiss fall on the corner of her lips, and then moved slightly beside her, probably Song Qingluo got up and left. Although he really wanted to open his eyes and take a look, his body was really tired. After struggling for a while, he fell asleep again.

Wake up again, a few hours later. Hunger woke Lin Banxia from his sleep. With his hungry chest on his back, he struggled to get up and went to the kitchen to find something to eat. After nibbling on a few bites of bread, Lin Banxia finally recovered her strength. Lin Banxia took a carton of milk and walked into the living room, and saw that the rain had not stopped outside. It was close to the afternoon, and the rain started last night, which meant that it had been raining for a whole day, and from the thick clouds in the sky, there was no sign of stopping.

The room was empty, Xiaohua and Xiaokuo didn't know what they were doing. Lin Banxia had nothing to do and turned on the TV. When it started, it was the news channel. On the screen, the host was wearing a raincoat standing in the rain, with a flustered and helpless expression on his face.

Behind him, a high-rise building emitted thick black smoke, and Zhou was surrounded by people fleeing everywhere, hoarse and frightened people, car horns blaring together, and the whole picture was as bad as the end of the world.

"Citizens, please don't go out!" The reporter shouted hoarsely, "Please stay at home as much as possible! The cause of the incident is still under investigation..." When he said this, the screen shook violently, and a terrified cry sounded on the TV, it seemed that it was a photographer was attacked. Then the line of sight was reversed, and the inside of the screen became a creaking black screen.

Lin Banxia's hand holding the milk froze in midair. He couldn't imagine why the world changed completely overnight. He took out his mobile phone and hurriedly broadcast Song Qingluo's phone number. After waiting anxiously for dozens of seconds, he was finally connected.

"Hello." Song Qingluo said, "Awake?"

"I saw the news." Lin Banxia said, "What happened outside??"

"Stay at home, don't come out." Song Qingluo said, "Rain water will increase infection, not only pollute people's mental state, but also create new heretical things."

Lin Banxia was dumbfounded: "Then what do you mean, the whole world is full of heretics now?"

"There are also lunatics." Song Qingluo added.

Lin Banxia: "...what should we do?"

Song Qingluo said: "First get the situation under control..."

It can be said to be controlled, but how to control it is still a mystery. Originally the monitor who controlled the main force of the heretics, but now it has become the hardest hit area of infection. Not only can it not help, but it will cause damage. If you think about it, it is like a dead end. Lin Banxia pinched the phone that she hung up, and suddenly remembered the planet she had seen before. If he could go back there and erase the light spot he could see, would he be able to prevent all this from happening

Lin Banxia fell silent.

The rain became a prelude to chaos.

Whether it's reality or the Internet, it's all messed up. Some people are beginning to wonder if this is the harbinger of the end of the world, but in just half a day, this kind of talk has become more clamorous and dominated. Along with this kind of remarks comes the madness of human beings. The heretics became a foil at this time... It seems that they don't need much effort at all, these mad humans are enough to destroy all beauty.

Naturally, Lin Banxia also had people who were worried. He called Ji Leshui and Li Su and they both learned that Ji Leshui did not go out to work and was still next door. He didn't get through to Li Su's phone, and he didn't know whether it was an accident or he went to the base. Everything became scorched, like a tangled wad of thread, more and more chaotic.

Ji Leshui had no idea that the world would become like this.

When he came together in the morning, he found it was raining outside. After the events of the past few days, his sensitive nerves were touched, and he noticed that this rain was different from ordinary rain, and it had an ominous aura. Still don't go to work? Ji Leshui hesitated, he really had a bad feeling.

Just when he was thinking so, someone knocked on the door, Ji Leshui opened the door and found that it was Song Qingluo.

"What's the matter, boss?" Ji Leshui scratched his messy hair.

"Don't go out in the last few days." Song Qingluo was wearing casual clothes with those black gloves on her hands, and her expression looked very indifferent.

Ji Leshui said, "Okay... Did something happen?"

Song Qingluo glanced at him and hummed lightly: "Look at Lin Banxia a little more, and tell him not to go out."

Ji Leshui wanted to ask something more, but Song Qingluo had turned around and bloomed. Although he didn't know what happened, Ji Leshui still decided to follow Song Qingluo's words, stay at home obediently and not go out to join in the fun.

What happened next proved how correct Song Qingluo's words were - the whole world was in chaos.

As if overnight, the familiar world has become unfamiliar.

Ji Leshui saw with his own eyes that many posts and videos appeared on the Internet, crazy crowds, strange creatures, it was like a carnival before the apocalypse. As a normal human being, the only thing he can do at this time is to shrink at home and shiver.

In such fear, Ji Leshui finally received a call from Lin Banxia, asking him where he was and if he was okay.

After Ji Leshui said that he didn't go to work and was still at home, Lin Banxia was obviously relieved, and said that he would come over later, so Ji Leshui should not be nervous.

How could he not be nervous? Ji Leshui looked sad.

Lin Banxia changed her clothes and went to find Ji Leshui next door. His timid friend, like a frightened bird, froze when he heard the sound of knocking on the door, carefully propped his head out, and was relieved to see that it was him.

"Come in, come in, come in." Ji Leshui waved.

"Why do you look like this?" Lin Banxia said, "What happened?"

"Not yet." Ji Leshui said, "but haven't you read the post on the Internet? It is said that there are madmen knocking on the door from house to house, and they will go in after knocking..."

Lin Banxia said, "I didn't see it."

"Fortunately, there are urns in our community." Ji Leshui said slyly, who would have thought that one day he would think that human beings are more terrible than those indescribable things. He shuddered at the thought of someone knocking door to door with a knife in hand.

"What the hell is going on?" Ji Leshui couldn't understand, "Is those things coming again? When will the rain stop..."

The countless questions he asked were also what Lin Banxia wanted to ask. It's a pity that I don't know where the answer is now, so there is only silence left at this time.

The only thing to do now seems to be waiting. All kinds of information on the Internet are messed up. Some people say that the situation is under control, and some people say that it is not at all. On the contrary, there are lunatics among the people who want to control the situation. Someone took pictures of the scene on the street, broken glass, screaming crowds and smoke-filled buildings, which are completely apocalyptic scenes that can only be seen in film and television works.

The most terrifying thing is that there are even large-scale wounding incidents in some densely populated communities. You can see many people patrolling back and forth with murder weapons. Their expressions are not like normal people at all, but rather like a mutation in the story. monster after.

The TV program that was still live has also stopped. The host of the live broadcast room kept calling on people to stay at home and not go out, saying that some hallucinogenic substances may be mixed in the rainwater, so people should be careful. As the host spoke, he violently slapped the table, and the force was so strong that he slapped his hand directly, and blood splattered all over his face.

So the picture in the live broadcast room was also terminated, and there were only advertisements that were continuously broadcast on the TV.

Ji Leshui and Lin Banxia watched silently, the light from the TV projected on their faces, making their faces dim. Lin Banxia was very quiet, but Ji Leshui began to cry softly. He said, "Banxia, when will this matter?"

Lin Banxia looked out the window, the drizzle seemed to have no end, and it fell slowly, shrouding the whole world in a green halo. Those light spots that represented pollution were constantly accumulating on the ground and treetops, no need to think about it. I know what a horrible situation it would be if these things fell on people. He can expel these things like before, but Lin Banxia knows very well that if he doesn't cut it off from the end, what he does is just a drop in the bucket.

The phone in Lin Banxia's pocket suddenly rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Li Su calling.

"Hello? Li Su? Are you okay?" Lin Banxia was still worried about him.

"It's me." It wasn't Li Su who spoke, but Li Ye, "Where are you now?"

Lin Banxia said, "What?"

Li Ye said: "You go quickly."

Lin Banxia said, "What?"

Li Ye took a deep breath: "Something happened to Song Qingluo. The people at the base are going to send someone to check his residence, so get out of there quickly!"

Lin Banxia immediately panicked: "What happened to him??"

Li Ye said: "I'll explain to you later, there's no time! You listen to me and get out of there!!"

Lin Banxia stood up with a swipe and said to Ji Leshui, "Give you five minutes to pack up, we have to get out of here."

Ji Leshui said blankly, "But it's so chaotic outside, where can we go?"

Lin Banxia said, "I don't know, but I can't stay here anymore."

Ji Leshui saw that Lin Banxia was not joking, so he had to say goodbye.

Lin Banxia actually had nothing to pack. His most important things were Xiaohua and Xiaocao. He hurried back home and found a box in the bedroom. The box was given to Song Qingluo by Li Su when he was recovering from his injuries. He said that it contained Song Qingluo's very important things. Lin Banxia remembered that the password was 27263. Without hesitation, Lin Banxia decisively opened the box, but saw a rolled up picture inside. He was slightly taken aback, and immediately understood what it was.

But now there is not much time to struggle with this matter, Lin Banxia shouted: "Xiaohua, Xiaokuo, where are you two? Come back soon—"

He called a few times, and there was a thumping sound from the closet next to him. After a while, Xiaohua and Xiaokuo came out of their heads and called their brother obediently.

"Quick, come inside." Lin Banxia said, "Can you guys go in?" He remembered that Song Qingluo's box for Xiaohua was very small, so it seemed that Xiaohua should be able to control her body size.

Xiaohua Xiaokuu nodded, and without asking why, he obediently squatted into the box. Xiaohua was okay, she folded herself and stuffed it in, but Xiao Cao had no choice but to dismantle her bones. She blinked her eyes and asked Lin Banxia to place him one by one.

Putting the two little ones in, Lin Banxia went out directly with the box in her hand. Ji Leshui also prepared her luggage over there, waiting for him with an umbrella in her hand.

"Let's go." Lin Banxia said.

The two left the community in a hurry, and before they went too far, they saw a series of black vehicles driving into their community. The word "swastika" on the cars was so striking that Lin Banxia instantly recognized it. their identities.

Lin Banxia didn't dare to look back, she dragged Ji Leshui and walked quickly, and didn't stop until she reached the downstairs of a nearby community.

Ji Leshui said in a trembling voice, "What happened to the boss?"

Lin Banxia held the box, and the soft touch of the box was continuously transmitted to his skin. He gritted his teeth and said coldly, "I won't let them do those things to Song Qingluo again."

For some things, one experience is enough.

The author has something to say:

Ji Leshui: Roommates or friends, I was the one who came first, why...

Lin Banxia: speak human words

Ji Leshui: Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
