Reborn Future's Birthday

More and more people around the world have fever, dry cough, and chest tightness, which are very similar to the symptoms of SARS, but the vaccines that have been developed are ineffective, and unprecedented panic pervades the earth, which is worse than that of SARS in 2003 And nothing less.

"...Because of the hot weather, the number of people suffering from skin diseases and unknown diseases has expanded rapidly, and many hospitals have been overcrowded. Please try not to go out during the day until the alert is lifted..."

Although the rumors of the "second SARS era" are intensifying, studies have shown that the new disease does not pose a risk of contagion, but even if there is no risk of contagion, people stay away from people with fever, and some extreme cases even call 110 or 120 to ask the police or The hospital pulls away the person with a fever.

Many foreigners who rented the same building went home. After Ding Qiutao was driven out of the house after failing the college entrance examination, Su Qingsheng never went back. He only sent some money home during the Chinese New Year and called back. Both Su Chengyue and Ding Qiutao were extremely impatient when answering the phone. Most of the time, no one even answered the phone. He still hasn't found a reason why he must go back.

That home is too cold.

Lao Zhong's boss quit his business, and the outside world is chaotic, so he can't rush to find a job. Lao Zhong's parents passed away when he was young, and he has no relatives to turn to. When I went out, I didn't know what to do, and I was very embarrassed many times. Su Qingsheng asked twice, and he said that he encountered a riot.

Su Qingsheng's situation was good and sometimes bad. When Lao Zhong was at work, he didn't care about it. Now that he wasn't at work, he always watched him not to go out, for fear of accidents. Su Qingsheng knew that Lao Zhong was for his own good, and he was thinking about translating Xiaozhuan. I asked Lao Zhong to accompany him to the bookstore when he was in good health. Only after he went out did he realize that many bookstores were closed. A clerk suggested that Su Qingsheng go to the city library, but the city library was still open, but there were almost no people in it. No sound, except for the administrator is a cabinet of books, the silence is a little scary.

After applying for a borrowing card, the books that Su Qingsheng wants to borrow are not available for borrowing, but can only be read in the library. Su Qingsheng immerses himself in his books and takes notes while Lao Zhong reads "Story Club" with great interest. The interesting part is that I want to pull Su Qingsheng to watch it together. After Su Qingsheng protested twice, he finally became honest and dared not pull Su Qingsheng anymore.

At sunset, the golden sunlight shines on the floor through the glass windows. If you ignore its appalling temperature, this kind of moment is very fascinating. Unfortunately, good times are always fleeting. I don’t know who is so Su Qingsheng stayed in the corner of the library like an old clock, and uttered a terrified cry: "Ah, rats! Where did so many big rats come from!..."

Mice should be one of the most familiar animals for human beings, and they are also honored to be listed as one of the four pests. It can be said that they are famous all over the world, and no one does not hate them.

The reading room where Su Qingsheng’s old clock is located is on the first floor, and the location is relatively remote. Su Qingsheng only heard a rustling sound, like the sound of many mice gnawing on wood, which made people’s scalp tingle, but it was daytime, and although the library was very It's quiet, but it's not empty. Why is the mouse so bold that it came out in broad daylight?

The reading room is very large. Following the shouts, a man ran out from the northeast corner of the reading room. He was wearing ordinary clothes and wearing a pair of large black-rimmed glasses. drop down.

Lao Zhong has always been enthusiastic, and he went up to him and asked, "What's the matter, where is the mouse?" As soon as Lao Zhong finished speaking, he saw many big mice that were twice the size of ordinary mice running from the northeast corner, and encountered obstacles on the way. The things that could not be chewed were chewed away at a very fast speed, and the ones that could not be chewed were bypassed. Some wooden cabinets had their legs broken, shaking and collapsing, making a loud rumbling sound, and the rats below screamed. .

The loud noise woke up Su Qingsheng and Lao Zhong, who were staring straight-eyed, and quickly turned around and ran away. The glasses had already left the reading room, and there were people running around outside, including an administrator, and there were rats everywhere. The sound of gnawing books and wood, accompanied by the sound of overturning cabinets, was a mess, and then there were dazed mice running around, and the chaos escalated.

The big rats were not afraid of people at all, and even the bold ones bit people, and some of the insensitive ones were bitten off their flesh. The smell of blood seemed to stimulate the rats, and more rats ran out.

Su Qingsheng followed Lao Zhong to the street outside the library, watching the policemen who arrived calmly shot and killed the rats one by one, and many of them slipped through the net and ran away.

Su Qingsheng followed Lao Zhong closely all the time, and only then did his violently beating heart calm down.

Regarding the big mouse incident in the library, the police did not make a conclusion. Many people who observed the incident guessed that it was caused by hunger, and a few people suspected that the mouse had mutated. Whether it was starvation or mutation, it was not good news.

There are many similar incidents, happening one after another in City A, across the country, and around the world, and intensified.

Su Qingsheng, who was in shock, realized that he was still holding the brick-like dictionary tightly in his hand. He looked at the library in the distance, and met Lao Zhong's eyes. Lao Zhong seemed to know what he was thinking. , grabbed the dictionary and took it, and pulled Su Qingsheng away.

I didn't expect the honest old Zhong to do such a thing, but old Zhong knew that Su Qingsheng valued these tadpole-like characters, and said: "Look at it for a few days before sending it back. Now the library is so messy, and those people you send back just throw it at random." in the corner."

Su Qingsheng's originally unsteady heart was shaken, and as he got farther and farther away from the library, he stopped insisting, but after all these years of education, he always felt like a thief, and his face was a little hot.

On the way, Lao Zhong said that the rice at home was almost finished, and he wanted to buy more. Su Qingsheng followed Lao Zhong to the store, and a 20-jin bag of rice was priced at 130 yuan. Many stores were sold out, and even other foods were sold out. Panicked people bought most of them, and the shelves were empty.

Old Zhong's face was solemn, Su Qingsheng was holding a dictionary beside him and did not speak, the two returned to the rental room in silence all the way.

Su Qingsheng buried himself in cooking, while Lao Zhong stood by his broken radio.

The radio signal was intermittent, and all the news was bad.Severe weather has affected all walks of life. Although the country has emergency measures for special periods, when the whole country and even the world are in turmoil as the weather worsens, the emergency measures are not enough. Riots, riots, Terrorist attacks, some countries even mobilize the whole people, increase the number and length of military service, and implement military control.

It was a few pieces of news that made Su Qingsheng raise his attention all of a sudden.

In some places, it is found that the physique and habits of animals are changing, although slowly but obviously, some experts say that it has something to do with the weather, and it is normal for these adaptable animals to change themselves according to the environment.

There are also voices saying that some people have discovered that there is an additional substance in sunlight that has never been found before. The "Second SARS" and the changes in animals may be related to this substance.

There is a small radio station dedicated to broadcasting some unbelievable news, about supernatural powers, some people also call it "magic".

Lao Zhong's expression was a little dull, and after a while, he asked, "Do you believe it?"

Su Qingsheng's health was not very good when he was young, his face was always sickly pale, thin and small, and his development was delayed. During the period when his peers had a voice change, he looked as if he was stunted, and his voice was still gender-neutral Tong Yin, who does things in a hurry and speaks quickly. Some classmates called him "sissy". Later, when word spread, Su Qingsheng seldom spoke. Until he joined the construction team and worked in the sun every day, his skin color became darker and his voice became weaker Finally, there was a change, and it became a slightly hoarse clear voice.

Su Qingsheng looked at Lao Zhong. Lao Zhong had a strange expression on his face. He was not a deep-minded person. He always seemed to be preoccupied these days. Something must have happened to him.

While Su Qingsheng wondered whether Lao Zhong's eccentricity was related to this news, he said cautiously: "Isn't it possible for someone to say anything?"

Old Zhong's thick eyebrows were tightly frowned, and the word Chuan was about to be squeezed out of his brows. He wanted to open his mouth several times, but then closed it again, obviously he was at war with heaven and man in his heart.

Su Qingsheng took the initiative: "Don't tell me if you haven't thought about it. I won't blame you. Who doesn't have a secret. To tell you the truth, I have a secret too."

Su Qingsheng smiled at Old Zhong and said, "I won't tell you."

Old Zhong was stunned for a moment, seeing Su Qingsheng's bright smile, most of the embarrassment went away, he nodded, smiled gratefully, then lowered his head and scratched on the ground.

Su Qingsheng looked at the old clock for a while, and the rice tumbling in the pot for a while, thinking of the black leather jacket in the Internet cafe, and the big mouse in the library just now, his face changed in the light of the fire.

At present, prices are soaring, the environment is very unstable, and jobs are not available. Their situation is getting more and more difficult.

Most of the time these days, he is in a daze. People around him are always afraid that he has some unknown disease, and they hide as far as possible. Only Lao Zhong will never leave him. If it is not for Lao Zhong, I am afraid that he Wandering the streets in the early morning, the end would be to starve to death, freeze to death, heat to death, or be eaten by big rats like today.

After dinner, there is still some time before dark. No one dares to go out at this time. Although the temperature is suitable, ultraviolet rays can still cause great damage to the human body.

Heavy rainstorms and snowstorms occurred in some places, which had a very bad impact on traffic, agriculture and animal husbandry; sometimes the day was as dark as the night, with violent storms and rain, but the temperature remained at a very high level, and there were thunder and lightning at night, It is as bright as day... Creatures are at a loss, all kinds of wild animals and domestic animals are restless, collective suicide, moving, becoming aggressive, all kinds of abnormal behaviors occur everywhere, and there is a tendency to intensify.

Acid rain, drought, flood, typhoon, tornado, freezing damage, dense fog, heat waves, hail, major biological disasters, snowstorms, sandstorms, landslides, mudslides, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, etc., can be listened to every day, although in previous years there were also However, there has never been such a concentrated outbreak, which caused extremely large-scale damage to human settlements, shocking, many people had to leave their homes, billions of people were displaced, food shortages, epidemics of infectious diseases, and unexplained biological irregularities Mutated evolution, some pessimistic and world-weary people shouted, this is nature's revenge on human beings, and the end of human beings has come!
