Chapter 12
The vision in the sky lasted for a long time, until night fell, and the sky was still shrouded in a strange layer of red.Under the influence of the red light, the communication has been severely disturbed, the mobile phone can no longer communicate normally, and the Internet and radio and television have experienced serious freezes.
After coaxing Jiang Xiaoheng to sleep, Jiang Rong closed the doors and windows of the house.Although the mutant animals and plants were not very strong at the beginning of the Great Crisis, out of prudence, he still put down the roller blinds outside the window.
Jiang Rong sat in the study and turned on the computer. According to what he knew in his previous life, the mutation had already begun after the sky turned red.He was fine in the country, but there should have been dead people in the city.
He skillfully clicked on the most popular post bar today. When he opened the post bar, half of the posts on the homepage were talking about how beautiful the sky is today, and the other half were complaining about the network card.
While the page was still buffering, Jiang Rong went to the kitchen and poured himself a big glass of water.When he came back, the post he was looking for had already been refreshed.
Two months ago, he posted an anonymous post on Tieba. The title of the post was very eye-catching: In three months, more than half of the world's population will die.It records in detail the situation of human beings after the great crisis and the crisis, and also writes a part of the stocking list.
He originally thought that a more horrifying title would attract more people's attention.But I didn't expect that after the post was sent out, there were very few top posts, most of them were laughing at his whimsical ideas.
Not surprisingly, though, there have been fears of the end of the world throughout history.Every once in a while, there is talk that the world is about to end.Yet each time the world remains intact and humans can still see the sun rise.After a long time, everyone has gotten used to it. When they see this kind of post, everyone just laughs it off.
Jiang Rong's previous post was too deep to find. Fortunately, he saved this post at the time, so he could still see the contents.While drinking water, he scrolled the mouse to turn down the page. After a long pause, he finally saw the follow-up post that mocked him.
"The landlord is not awake, is he?"
"Most of the people die overnight, unless a nuclear war breaks out, it is absolutely impossible."
"Stand up the post as proof, the host doesn't have a dick."
Jiang Rong: ...
Jiang Rong stared at the screen expressionlessly, and the reaction of the people on the Internet was similar to what he thought.But whether they believe it or not is their business, and whether they say it or not is their business. He did this for peace of mind.
After exiting the post bar, Jiang Rong opened the local forum, where he could see all the news that happened in D City within 24 hours.
Sure enough, a post jumped to the forefront: It's too scary, the neighbor's family of three went out for a walk, and suddenly the whole family disappeared!
This is a piece of news with pictures and texts, and there is also a video in it.
The owner in the video met a neighbor's family of three when he went out, and the four greeted each other warmly.Then the video host walked behind the three of them towards the gate of the community.
But before walking more than ten meters, the video suddenly shook violently.In the video, only the hostess of the neighbor's house screamed, and then the family of three fell straight down.The video host hurried forward to help with chest compressions and cardiopulmonary resuscitation, but the hearts of all three were gone.
Just as the video owner was helping to make an emergency call, there were exclamations and screams from the side: "Come on! Help!" It seemed that more people had fallen down.
The video host cried out in a crying voice: "What's wrong? What's wrong with this? A lot of people fell down, woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." The video ended here, but the terrified voice of the video host was deeply imprinted on everyin the hearts of those who have watched the video.
This situation is not an isolated one. People who followed the post said that their neighbors/friends/family members have also encountered the same situation.They were still talking to themselves one second, and suddenly fell down the next moment.
Everyone has speculated about what caused the deaths, some speculated whether poisonous gas leaked, some speculated whether it was chemical weapons, and some speculated whether the red halo that appeared in the sky today was the culprit...
All kinds of sayings will only make everyone more panic, and the official has nothing to do about it. They only issued a notice telling the citizens to go home quickly and not stay outside.
Most of those who fell died on the spot, and only a few passed out with a high fever.Those unconscious people were carried into the ambulance and rushed to the hospital.
Seeing such photos or videos, Jiang Rong frowned slightly.
Today in his last life, he went to bed early.And in this life, he is witnessing the crisis with his own eyes.
According to what he knew in his previous life, on the day of awakening, some people will awaken their abilities.When these power users awaken, they will have a high fever and faint. The higher the power level, the longer the fever and duration.This is a process of natural elimination, as long as you can survive the high fever, you can get supernatural powers.
So those feverish people who are carried into the hospital are very likely to become new humans in the wasteland world.
Jiang Rong turned on the phone and glanced again.In comparison, the situation in City D is not bad, and some cities are completely chaotic.
The person's collapse is only the beginning, what is terrible is the series of reactions that follow.For example, the driver who was driving a bus suddenly lost consciousness, and the uncontrolled vehicle crashed into the side of the road.The workers who were working in the chemical factory fell down, and the overflow of hazardous chemicals caused an explosion...
There are more and more shocking casualties, videos and photos of the scene are creepy, and the sound of police cars and ambulances whizzing by one after another.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Rong created a new post with the title: Why did so many people die suddenly?Is it the end of the world?
He pretended to be an ordinary person and cried a few words, and then threw the link of the post he wrote on the post bar.
After doing all this, Jiang Rong turned off the phone directly. He had already done what he had to do, and he did everything he could.The rest is not something he can worry about.
Just when Jiang Rong was about to get up, he suddenly felt chest tightness and shortness of breath, stars were appearing in front of his eyes.At the same time, the strength of his body was rapidly disappearing, and he fell to the ground uncontrollably.
The rollers under the chair rubbed against the floor making harsh noises, and Jiang Rong hit the ground heavily, panting like an old cow that had run 800 meters.He raised his hand with difficulty and touched his forehead, the heat of his palm made his heart lift instantly.
Oops, why did he have a fever?Is he going to wake up too?
Seeing its master lying on the ground, Le Le anxiously licked Jiang Rong's face, and it lay beside Jiang Rong humming, not knowing what happened.Jiang Rong gasped and said to Lele, "Lele, go and call Xiaoheng, call Xiaoheng."
His voice was hoarse and hoarse, the high fever came unexpectedly, and he had no time to make any preparations.Fortunately, Le Le was clever, and after hearing Jiang Rong's words, it hurried to the bedroom.After waiting for a while, Jiang Xiaoheng's footsteps sounded.
Jiang Rong's face was burned red, and his vision became blurred.Jiang Xiaoheng's voice became indistinct in his ears, "Dad, what's wrong with you, Dad?"
Jiang Rong held Jiang Xiaoheng's hand tightly. He tried to keep his eyes wide open, but his consciousness became more and more confused.He had thousands of words to say to his son, but in the end they all came together in one sentence: "Don't be afraid, Dad sleeps for a few days first. Xiao Heng is not afraid..."
I don't know if Jiang Xiaoheng heard his own words clearly, the moment his consciousness was withdrawn, Jiang Rong only felt hot tears splashed on his cheeks.
The last thought in Jiang Rong's mind was: No, Xiaoheng is going to freak out.
Although he fainted, Jiang Rong didn't feel good. He had a splitting headache and had nightmares again and again, and his body was extremely heavy, sore and painful.
He clearly knew that he was having a nightmare, in which mutated plants and hideous mutated animals appeared in the dream.The mutated mice covered the sky like a tide. He returned to the time when he was devoured by the mice in his previous life, and he had nowhere to hide, nowhere to escape.
Just when he was about to be devoured by mutant mice, the dream changed again.This time he was in the fiery desert, and the sweat from his body evaporated quickly.Then he seemed to be thrown on the ice field again, and he shivered from the cold.
His consciousness was groggy, as if he was in chaos, he couldn't tell the direction, he couldn't find the way.I don't know if I'm alive or dead, and I don't know what time it is.
How many times has a voice in my heart said to him: Don't resist, close your eyes and go to sleep, you are so tired, why don't you take a rest?
Jiang Rong also wanted to rest, but he also knew that once he compromised with this voice, he would never be able to wake up again.
His death is a trivial matter, what about the child?Xiaoheng is so young, how can he live without him?
For the sake of the child, he cannot die.
After an unknown amount of time, the voice gradually faded away.The surrounding chaos gradually became clear, and in the hazy mist, he saw a tree covering the sky and the sun.This tree seems to be able to support the heaven and the earth. Under this giant tree, he is as small as an ant.
He was very calm and looked up at the tree, wanting to remember its appearance.At this time, there was a faint singing voice from the tree: "Father, father, good father~"
Jiang Rong froze for a moment, this seemed to be... Xiaoheng's voice?
The shadow of the giant tree swayed for a few times and then disappeared. Jiang Rong felt his body became more and more relaxed, and his consciousness returned quickly.Xiaoheng's vague voice became clear.
He heard his son singing in his ear, "I have a good father..."
He felt a cold towel on his forehead, and a pair of small hands were carefully adjusting the position of the towel,
Jiang Rong opened his eyes, his vision blurred.At the same time, the singing in my ears stopped abruptly, and turned into an exclamation with a different tone: "Dad! Dad, are you awake?"
His vision gradually cleared up, and Jiang Xiaoheng's surprised and tired little face became clearer in front of him.And he was lying on his back on the floor of the study, with his son's blanket on his belly.
Jiang Xiaoheng's eyes were red and swollen, and he held a wet towel and children's fever-reducing stickers in his hand.Seeing that Jiang Rong woke up, Jiang Xiaoheng twitched the corners of his lips. He wanted to give his father a bright smile, but just as he opened his mouth, tears dripped down, "Dad...Dad..."
Jiang Rong turned to look at the electronic clock on the wall, which clearly read: June 10, 6:30.
He was in a coma for four days and five nights!
