Xiao Mo, who was riding a motorcycle, was concerned about the safety of his family. In addition, the sky was dark, so he didn't notice the color change of the rain for a while.
Only the child behind him stared at the black rain curtain through his hood, his mouth closed and his expression serious.
The motorcycle whizzed by in the rain. After a while, the whole body of the big one and the small one was soaked by the rain except for the parts that were close to each other.
When the two passed by Zhougang Station, they saw an ambulance overturned on the roadside.
There are many survivors of the last virus outbreak in Zhougang Village. A few living people were saying something on the roadside. When those people saw him, they immediately waved and shouted to him, as if they wanted to ask him about his situation.
Xiao Mo didn't stop, or even slow down a little, and just drove through Zhougang Village at lightning speed and rushed out of the isolation area.
At 18:45, the black rain became dense and the sky turned completely dark.
Xiao Mo turned on the headlights and instantly illuminated the city road that looked like the end of the world.
Before leaving the quarantine area, he had already imagined how bad the situation in the city would be, but he never expected it to be this bad.
It was like a city that had been devastated by war, dead silent.
There are car accident scenes everywhere, smoke is everywhere, and unconscious people, cats and dogs lying on the ground, dead or injured, can be seen everywhere.
Broken neon lights, street lights that were turned on on time, and traffic lights that were still running made the entire tragic scene even more unbearable to watch.
The city center, which is usually clogged with traffic during rush hour, is now struggling even more.
Without two-wheelers, people would have to walk on roads filled with vehicles and obstacles.
The countless unconscious people lying on the road like corpses have added great difficulties to the journey. Not only have they become obstacles, but they have also greatly impacted the spirit of the travelers.
No one can walk safely in a cemetery like a slaughterhouse, even if they know that more than 80% of these unconscious people are alive.
At least 20% of the dead... Xiao Mo didn't dare to look at the unconscious person who fell under the wheel.
The four words "I am an accomplice" kept echoing in his mind. If he could face the system's prompts at the beginning... But now it is too late to think about anything, unless he has the ability to make everything happen again.
A sense of guilt and self-loathing envelopes the man.
When a person knows that he had a chance to save this disaster, but was let go without any care, what should he do to avoid collapse
Black blood flowed on the ground. Not only did people die under out-of-control vehicles, but the coma happened too suddenly. Maybe things that are usually harmless can become murder weapons when you are unconscious and out of control.
For example, a bone can pierce your throat, a ball of rice can block your trachea, a tub of bath water can drown you, and a barber's hair iron can burn you to death.
One of the shops on both sides of the road had a gas explosion, sending shards of glass doors flying across the road.
The automatic iron gate of the Municipal No. 3 Middle School was hit by several cars and bent inside.
The nose of a truck was buried in a roadside cafe.
Just outside a building under construction in the direction they were heading, many construction workers were lying down or leaning on the bamboo scaffolding surrounding the building. Some of them were even hanging upside down on the outer wall of the scaffolding.
This is the ground, I don’t know what’s going on underground yet.
Although there are automatic control devices to prevent unmanned operation, who can guarantee that all subways that are close to each other can brake in time
Seeing this situation, Xiao Mo felt even more frightened and anxious.
hurry up! Hurry up!
But the road was difficult, and the heavy rain blocked his sight. He couldn't get up even if he wanted to.
Just ahead, a tanker truck overturned to the ground. There seemed to have been explosions and fires around it. The charred corpses and body fell on the road in disorder, blocking the entire way.
Xiao Mo braked suddenly, avoided this road, and turned to another one-way road. If you want to go to his brother and sister-in-law's house on this one-way street, you can only go in the opposite direction, but who is worried about this at this time
On the one hand, Xiao Mo resented the sudden heavy rain, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but thank it.
Without this timely rain, the city would not be filled with smoke, but with fire everywhere.
Although this rain cannot extinguish all fires, it can at least suppress the spread of fires.
Coming out of the one-way street is the City's First Hospital. The inpatient and laboratory buildings of the hospital are covered by plastic sheets. The dense raindrops beat on the plastic sheets, making a drum-like sound.
Light can still be seen inside the hospital, and there are faint figures of people passing by.
Xiao Mo was stunned for a moment when he saw a large amount of black water stains snaking down the plastic sheet, but the motorcycle had already left the area of the First Hospital, and he did not look back.
"There's a living person!" Wang Cheng, who was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window in the hall and observing, shouted excitedly.
Qian Yunkai, who was checking on the unconscious person, heard Wang Cheng shouting, and the two ran out of the gate of the hospital building together.
But at this time, Xiao Mo had already turned onto another road.
The two were disappointed, looked at each other, and had to return to the lobby of the hospital building before being soaked by the rain.
The other survivors who were still awake in the inpatient building gathered for food and gathered in the lobby. Wang Cheng and other police officers who were still alive after being infected tried to stop these people from running out of the hospital.
But when the first awakened person who ran out of the hospital despite the threats from Wang Cheng and others appeared, all the awakened persons became bolder, and one after another some people ran out of the inpatient building.
It was impossible for Wang Cheng and others to really take action against these common people, and they could only watch them leave when dissuasion failed.
Gradually, there are fewer and fewer awakened people in the hall.
"Yunkai?"
Qian Yunkai looked at the heavy rain outside and pushed up the frames of his glasses. He no longer needed glasses. He was not used to wearing glasses except during autopsies. But now... He is no longer short-sighted, but he puts them on. It's just that My myopia lenses were replaced with photochromic plain lenses.
"Do you think there is anyone else awake outside besides the first survivors who survived the infection?"
Wang Cheng was not sure, "Judging from the fact that no one answered the many calls we made just now, I'm afraid there are very few people awake in China right now."
He called all his classmates, colleagues, friends, relatives, and everyone he knew. These people lived almost all over the country, but no one answered his call just now.
"We are not the only ones in China." Qian Yunkai took off his glasses and took out a flannel to wipe them gently. "I just called my classmates abroad and some medical journals, but no one answered."
"You mean this virus outbreak is worldwide?" Wang Cheng was dumbfounded.
"Probably."
"The end...is really coming?" Wang Cheng didn't believe he would say these words.
"Anyway, let's go out and take a look first."
"Wait! The color of the rainwater is wrong." Wang Cheng, who had just run out, had noticed that the color of the rainwater was abnormal.
"That's why we need to go out and take a look. And if there is a problem with the rain, we won't be able to escape."
Yes, it was too late, they had already been soaked by the rain. Wang Cheng stared at Qian Yunkai's damp hair with sadness. However, after staying in the hospital for a few days, his vigilance had dropped so much. It shouldn't have happened!
At 19:30, Xiao Mo was still driving with his head covered in the heavy rain.
The child behind him suddenly pulled the hem of his clothes.
Xiao Mo slowed down the car and turned around.
Children raise their hands and point to their left side.
Xiao Mo wiped the rain off the face of his helmet and followed the child's fingers. He thought the child was scared when he saw such a doomsday scene, and wanted to turn around to comfort him. Unexpectedly, when he turned around, he saw...
"Whoa!" The man squeezed the brakes and stopped the motorcycle.
Just to the left of where they were traveling, a viaduct for high-speed trains crossed the entire city of Zhongshan. But now, there is a big hole in the viaduct, a long train has rushed off the track, and a third of the car body has fallen under the bridge.
There are residential buildings under the bridge, and the ancient buildings that were deliberately preserved were crushed to pieces by the train that rushed off the track at high speed.
Just now, he was wondering if the subway would rear-end him, when he saw this high-speed train, which was obviously too fast and had no time to brake. It rear-ended the vehicle in front and then rushed out of the viaduct.
Obviously, automatic control equipment is not a panacea. Some automatic control equipment needs to be manually set before it can take effect. How many instruments and tools were set up for automatic control before everyone fell into coma
Thinking of the passengers in the train and the residents of the crushed old houses...
Xiao Mo's hands were shaking unconsciously.
Sudden! The man turned his head suddenly, started the motorcycle hard and rushed forward.
The child quickly hugged his waist.
Turn left, turn right, pause, go slowly, go fast... Xiao Mo put all his energy into driving the motorcycle and no longer distracted from looking at the surrounding scene.
Xue Lihong looked at these tragic scenes in the world with a little indifference. In fact, what he wanted Xiao Mo to see was not the train that ran off the track and fell off the viaduct, but the UFO that just flashed across the horizon.
Xiao Mo's brother and sister-in-law's hotel is called "Kangfu Hotel". It is located in Tongtian Street, an old neighborhood in the center of the city. The transportation is very convenient. You can get to the subway in two minutes and there are even bus stops nearby.
Convenient transportation and the location in the center of the city were originally advantages, but now they have turned into disadvantages that made Xiao Mo anxious.
Because the time when the coma occurred was during the rush hour after get off work, the pedestrians and vehicles on the road were so dense that it was terrifying. It wasn't until 20:15, which took twice as long as usual, that Xiao Mo took his children to the Tongtian Street subway entrance.
Tongtian Street is an old residential area, and the road is originally narrow. Nowadays, coupled with the crowds of pedestrians and various vehicles, even motorcycles cannot pass through it.
Standing at the junction of Tongtian Street and Zhongshan South Road, you can clearly see a high-power, high-configuration Mustang sedan cutting out a skewed path of flesh and blood in the crowd.
The car owner seemed to have stepped on the accelerator while unconscious, and the car rushed out for nearly 300 meters before hitting a wall and stopping. The front of the car has been flattened, and most likely the owner inside has lost his life. Wherever this car passes, life is harvested and chopped down like straw.
In addition to this Mustang, there were many other vehicles involved in the accident. Tongtian Street really turned into a "Tongtian" street at this time, but the tragedy of this street looked more like a path to hell than to heaven.
Black rainwater mixed with blood flowed into the sewer.
Sewer covers and sewer ditches were filled with all kinds of garbage, and there were pieces of human flesh and condensation of internal organs mixed in with the garbage.
Xiao Mo took off his helmet and covered his mouth with one hand, his expression twisted in pain.
The child also took off his helmet. He seemed more interested in the rain falling from the sky than the dead people on the ground. He even raised his head and opened his mouth to take a few sips.
pollute? die? Xue Lihong didn't care at all. If he could really die, he would thank God.
Injured people don't know the pain. Children who fell down are lying on the ground not knowing whether to live or die. People with missing arms and legs are everywhere. You can see people with their intestines flowing out and their bodies broken in two.
The street lights were too bright and illuminated everything too clearly.
Xiao Mo didn't know that he was already in tears. If kowtow can save the lives of these people, he will kneel down and kowtow every step of the way! Let him do anything!
With no way to move on, the two had no choice but to get out of the car.
