Lu Yanli and Lin Chu fled to a small shop that was about to close. The owner was about to close the rolling door, so the two rushed in and helped the owner pull down the rolling door.
"What are you two doing? I'm telling you, I've called the police." The owner was shocked and leaned against the door cautiously, preparing to escape. He reached into his pocket with one hand, but Lu Yanli grabbed his hand and knocked him unconscious with a slash of his hand.
"Let's take shelter in the enclosed space for the time being." Lu Yanli dragged the person inside, and Lin Chu looked around for gaps. Finally, the two sat down in front of the counter and looked out through the glass window.
Green fluorescent dots floated down from the night sky.
A girl walked by with her pet dog, raised her head and looked up with a longing look on her face.
A mother holds her baby and snuggles happily in her husband's arms.
No one noticed anything wrong; everyone just smiled and thought it was a huge meteor shower falling on the surface of the earth, which was very beautiful.
"What consequences will these things cause?" Lin Chu's face became serious.
Even though this was not where she lived, she felt a little chilly. Moreover, strange things had happened just as they arrived in this world. Who knew if the world she lived in would change like this when she returned
Lu Yanli only answered her with two words: "Infection."
Lin Chu stopped talking and leaned against the window to look outside, taking notes as he went along.
They didn't notice that the boss who was dragged into the room slowly opened his eyes.
The ropes that bound him loosened little by little, and the shop owner slowly stood up.
"Are all of them gone?" Yu Huaiyao asked in shock as the few remaining people from the first group of missioners gathered together in the town.
"Yes, all gone."
"We have to find a way to do something, otherwise we will be the next to disappear."
"That sounds good, and everyone wants to do it, but who knows what's going on now?"
In the midst of the quarrel, Yu Huaiyao had to stop it in time: "Okay, stop arguing. Did anyone see why they disappeared?"
His question made everyone pause and shake their heads.
"I don't know. I didn't see it."
This is strange, why did they all disappear
Wait! Missing!
This word suddenly reminded Yu Huaiyao.
Isn't their mission to find a missing person? Is it related to this matter
The others immediately thought of this as well. No one wanted to stay in the town any longer. Lu Yanli had already been arrested by the police, and they wanted to find the legendary missing person more than anyone else so they could go back quickly.
At the other end of the town, which had almost become a ruin, the newcomers were also discussing. They were arguing over whether to kill their competitors, but they never expected that a staggering figure would slowly approach the door.
It was a plastic model, with most of its face destroyed and the surface cracked, revealing a bright red texture similar to the skin on a human body with it peeled off. It looked a bit uncomfortable.
"By the way, I got the surveillance footage from the police. You can all see what happened to that group of people." One of them took out a computer and suggested, "Why don't we take a look? Just in case."
"That's fine."
Most people were in favor, so the person who first proposed it turned on the computer and quickly launched the interface. After a few operations, the screen quickly displayed the surveillance footage on the street at the time of the incident.
The surveillance footage was somewhat blurry, so the man enlarged the image so that it filled the entire screen. The others moved closer and watched carefully.
Snowflakes flashed across the screen, and then normal images began to appear.
It was a rare street that survived the explosion, and people were walking around, seemingly normal. But gradually, for some reason, the street suddenly became less crowded, and eventually there was not a single pedestrian, and the scene became darker.
Unconsciously, everyone leaned closer to the screen. They stared at the screen intently, but did not notice anything strange.
At the end of the street, a figure finally appeared.
A man named Jiang Bai who looked very similar to Lu Yanli appeared on the screen, along with Lin Chu, Qiu Zhi and others. After walking a distance, they met up with Jiang Yu and others.
At present, everything seems normal. Several people gathered together to talk about something, but unfortunately, when the computer screen was displayed at this part, it froze several times for some unknown reason.
"Damn, the internet here is not very good." The person who originally suggested it slapped the computer, and the picture became normal again.
A girl sitting at the back was also staring at the screen, and suddenly she noticed something wrong.
No...really
She stared at the shadow on the screen again to make sure she was not seeing things.
No, that's right, she didn't see it wrong!
The chill rushed up from the soles of her feet to the ceiling. The girl froze in place, staring at the screen, then quickly looked away and remained motionless.
Did it find me
No, I didn't say it, it didn't find out! It definitely didn't!
However, the chill was no longer just lingering in her heart. She looked up blankly and could already feel the chill firmly on her limbs.
What happened...
On the screen, after the two parties met, they seemed to have encountered something suddenly, and they were both very excited. Then they quickly ran into a store with its door open.
Just when someone was about to ask what happened, they saw it.
On the screen, two red figures appeared on the left and right ends! That face was clearly Lu Yanli, who was reported dead by the police!
Is it a human or a ghost? Why do two identical beings appear? What will happen if they meet
Everyone was afraid and curious, and unknowingly moved closer.
The image on the screen was unknowingly magnified.
Two identical hideous faces can be clearly seen.
Finally someone realized something was wrong: "Wait, who adjusted the surveillance? Why is it getting louder and louder?"
The person closest to him was puzzled and let go: "It's not me, I didn't move."
Several others also raised their hands to prove their innocence: "I didn't move either."
The screen froze again, and soon returned to normal. The two figures were getting closer and closer... They were about to meet, and everyone couldn't help but hold their breath.
They keenly noticed that blood was dripping from the axe on the back of one of the figures. And the hem of the other figure's clothes was also dripping with blood. On the blurred surveillance screen, only the red color of the blood was particularly conspicuous, and it looked so creepy that it seemed that they could hear the sound of drops of blood dripping through the screen.
Soon, they no longer cared about the dripping sound.
In the picture, two red figures stood face to face, getting closer and closer until they were pressed together. One of them stretched its neck and leaned forward, with the other's head placed side by side on the shoulder, just like the rumored conjoined twins. Two identical hideous faces were pressed together, slowly merging from the ears.
Then, other parts also slowly merged, the hands and feet began to stick together, and the disconnected parts were connected by thousands of blood-red threads.
Where had they seen such a strange scene? They were all stunned and sat there, not knowing what to say.
After a long time, the two figures gradually merged into one, with only the heads not completely overlapping. It stretched out its hand and changed its position like a wax figure. The heads that were originally side by side on the left and right slowly moved and became one in the front and one in the back.
In this way, you can see its front face whether you look at it from the front or from the back.
Everyone thought about the scene and felt a little horrified. The person sitting in the front rubbed his arms and said, "Is that enough? Don't look at it anymore. It's creepy."
"Okay, turn it off."
She reached out to operate it, but somehow she couldn't turn it off. To make matters worse, the figure on the screen turned around and looked at them.
The pale and ferocious face stared straight at them, its eyes were pitch black and the whites of the eyes were almost invisible. But they just knew that it had discovered them!
“Turn it off now!!”
The person in the front row was so anxious: "I can't turn it off! I just pressed the power button!"
"Unplug the power! Quickly!"
"Pull it out! It's no use!"
The face on the screen grew bigger and bigger and gradually came closer.
"Go! Run away!!"
The door banged loudly, but no matter how hard they banged it or how they turned the switch, the door remained firmly shut and could not be opened. Everyone turned their heads away in despair, and could only watch the head on the screen getting closer and closer, with an increasingly distorted expression.
"Damn it! I don't believe it!"
When people were forced into a desperate situation, they exploded. One of them picked up a chair and smashed it hard on the computer.
The computer fell to the ground and the screen shattered. After hitting it a few times, finally, the entire screen went dark and choking white smoke came out.
Before they could rejoice, blood began to flow out from under the wreckage of the computer and slowly formed a blood-red footprint.
After the first footprint was formed, the second and third footprints gradually appeared not far in front of it...
It seems that the direction of the footprints is towards the person who just smashed the computer!
The man who smashed the computer was so frightened that his soul left his body. After venting his courage, he was afraid. Now, he regretted it even more. Why did he get involved for no reason? Now he was being targeted.
"Please don't chase me, okay? I beg you, I will burn paper money for you, I will definitely burn paper money for you, I can also bury you..."
The room was so small, and he ran all over the room, with the pair of footprints following him slowly, wherever he went. In the end, the whole room was filled with bloody footprints.
"Can you please stop running around? You are impulsive and you should not cause us to suffer as well."
Everyone was afraid of stepping on footprints, but who knew what would happen if they accidentally got stained? One of the more irritable people grabbed a chair and smashed it hard on the man's head when he tried to dodge and run away.
He fell down.
The footprints stopped in front of him.
"Hurry up! Hit it harder!"
Even though the door lock was in a shaky position, the door was still tightly closed. The sound of chairs hitting the door was sharp and piercing, mixed with the faint sound of ticking.
No one cared, and red handprints gradually appeared on the neck of the fallen man.
Then, he opened his mouth, his face turned blue and purple, and he began to struggle constantly, making "ho ho" sounds from his mouth.
But it was no use. He struggled for several minutes and his legs finally stopped kicking on the ground.
At this moment, there was a heavy blow, and the door lock finally fell off. The leader excitedly pulled the door inward and was about to walk out -
Outside the door frame, a pair of pale, bare feet were suspended in the air, swaying gently in the wind.
Looking up again, that person… just now she was sitting with them watching the surveillance. But now, her face was the same as the man lying on the ground, bruised and swollen, her eyes were unfocused, her long hair was hanging down, and it was stained with some sticky liquid.
Drops of blood slid down from her fingertips.
Tick.
Fall to the ground.
“Ahh—”
Screaming, messy footsteps, begging for mercy, crying...
After a while, silence returned.
"Half an hour." Lin Chu noted the time.
She focused her attention on a few people who didn't seem to be leaving immediately, and kept an eye on the time on her watch. Lu Yanli opened the shop owner's computer, cracked the password, and prepared to hack into the official website again.
If no measures are taken, the whole world will soon become a breeding ground for that thing, and by then, he will have nowhere to go.
Lin Chu wrote down the time clearly in his notebook.
After ten minutes, everyone was still normal.
After about fifteen minutes, the first person started scratching.
After about eighteen minutes, everyone started scratching.
Twenty minutes later, the scratching became more obvious, and some people had realized that this thing was harmful, so they planned to wash it off and put up an umbrella.
It's useless. The umbrella can't block the green spots of light floating in the air and approaching living things.
After about thirty minutes, signs of ulceration appeared.
Lu Yanli turned the message into a Trojan virus and released it.
Soon, everyone found that their mobile phones and computers could not be used normally. As soon as they opened the screen, a message popped up, claiming that the meteor shower in a certain place was a lie, and those were some kind of bacteria that could parasitize mammals, and attached a few disgusting pictures.
Is it fake
Many people were skeptical, while those citizens bathed in the "meteor shower" were on the brink of collapse.
