Forced Evolution of the End Times

In September, there was no cloud in the sky, and the sun was scorching like fire. The dazzling sun seemed to be burning, and it desperately scattered the heat, roasting H city like a furnace.

Wen Ran looked out of the office window at 05:30 in the afternoon when he got off work. The sun was still very poisonous. City H is one of the four major furnaces in the country, but it broke the longest record in the past when it exceeded 20 degrees for more than 40 consecutive days. Although the unit The air conditioner is constantly running, but there are still a few colleagues who are too sick to go home and rest.

There was a dull pain in his head, Wen Ran couldn't help rubbing his temples, he had been having a headache for the past few days, it seemed to be a sign of heatstroke, he thought he had adapted to such a high temperature long ago, but unexpectedly he just lasted a few days longer than others That's all.

After hesitating, there were only a few overtime colleagues left in the office. Looking at the wilted branches of the lush trees on both sides of the road, Wen Ran hesitated and walked out the door.

The moment I stepped out from the lobby door, I immediately realized what it was like to be in a world of ice and fire. The oncoming heat wave made people suffocate for a short time. The bus stop sign next to the unit is usually full of people at this time, but now there are only a few people. There were a few scattered, Wen Ran hid in the shadow of the stop sign and hesitated whether to take a taxi, but fortunately, the No. 9 bus came within a few minutes.

There were very few pedestrians on both sides of the road, and I saw a few armed with parasols and masks. The originally noisy city seemed to have lost its vitality under the heat wave.

The apartment that Wen Ran rents is close to the suburbs, an hour and a half away from the unit. A 30-square-meter one-bedroom apartment is considered to be at the upper-middle level for those working hard in City H. However, half of the monthly salary, the high housing prices in City H deter many people who want to own their own homes.

The first thing we did when we entered the room was to turn on the air conditioner. The cold air penetrated through the pores, and Wen Ran couldn't help shivering. The weather was so hot that he lost his appetite. He turned on the TV and took out a bottle of ice water from the refrigerator. It took half a bottle to relieve the heat in the body.

The news on all the channels was almost all about high temperature and drought. The images of the cracked land and the dried up river made people feel inexplicably heavy. Wen Ran picked up the remote control and changed more than ten channels and finally found a channel that was not reporting disasters.The host on the TV was Balabala popularizing the knowledge of heatstroke prevention and cooling, Wen Ran was bored listening to it, and when he was falling asleep, the phone rang.

I picked up my phone and saw it was my mother.

"Of course, how are you doing recently?"

Hearing his nickname after a long absence, the corners of Wen Ran's mouth twitched twice, and he turned off the TV, "It's okay, mom, aren't you busy with work recently?"

"How can you not be busy? I watch TV and City H is almost turning into a steamer, but please take a few days of annual leave to go back to City B to escape the summer heat. You haven't been back for more than a year..."

Hearing the voice from the microphone, Wen Ran felt his head hurt even more. His mother must have arranged a blind date for him to go back. Thinking back to the embarrassing scene of meeting a strange girl in a suit and leather shoes last time, Wen Ran suddenly felt that the high temperature was not can not stand.

Wen Ran's parents are both researchers in the field of agricultural technology promotion. They have always been in Beijing and are usually very busy with work.After graduating from university, Wen's mother was keen to introduce his son to someone, so it's no wonder she was worried. Wen Ran was already 27 years old and had never been in a relationship. If his son hadn't behaved normally, Wen's mother would have suspected that he lacked affection.

Mum Wen routinely cared about her son's relationship situation, and euphemistically expressed the idea that the two elders wanted to have a grandson early, and babbled about her colleague's son who got married a few days ago, and the classmate's child who got married just a few months ago. Pregnant, you are about to be a third person now, get married early and so on.

Wen Ran is speechless, and she also wants to find a gentle girlfriend, but she is born with a nerdy nature, and several older sisters in the unit even have children, so they really have no resources.I had no choice but to listen in silence, because as long as I refuted a word, my mother would have a long speech. Mother Wen slapped her son sideways, and told him to pay attention to his health before hanging up the phone.

Wen Ran let out a long breath, lying on the mat on the bed, his head still hurt sharply after hanging up the phone, it seems that this is not an illusion, he may really have suffered from heat stroke.

Get up from the bedside table and take out two sticks of Huoxiang Zhengqi water. Wen Ran's eyes were dark for a few seconds before he recovered from the pain from the simple movements. This month's full attendance bonus is wasted.Even after drinking the medicine, the pain was not relieved, she kept turning over and couldn't fall asleep at all, Wen Ran felt a bit like a pancake, which was about to be cooked.

Gradually, the consciousness became a little fuzzy, and Wen Ran felt that the consciousness seemed to be separated from the body, as light as a cloud, floating in the chaos, the body was as uncontrollable as if it was not his own, and he couldn't even lift a finger.Wen Ran panicked, wanted to call for help, tried to open his mouth but tried hard for a long time but couldn't make any sound.Wen Ran was terrified, he wouldn't die, he was a bit unwilling to die of heatstroke.

As it is now, the pain still tends to intensify, as if there is a force colliding in the body, the force seems to tear the whole person apart.Wen Ran wished he could hit his head on the ground, thinking of quickly getting out of this boundless pain, but it was obviously an extravagant wish.

After an unknown amount of time, consciousness drifted to a small courtyard, where an old man and a little boy were sitting under a locust tree.Wen Ran managed to get out of the chaos, suppressed the excitement in his heart and looked into the yard, he was startled, wasn't that old man his grandfather who had passed away, the little Zhengtai opposite his grandfather was himself when he was a child.Wen Ran was stunned, for a moment he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or reality. The picture in front of him was so realistic that he felt like he was actually there.

Wen's father and Wen's mother have been stationed in the laboratory for a long time because of work. When he was a child, Wen Ran lived with his grandparents in the countryside. Wen Ran was frail and well-behaved since he was a child. He is not as naughty as those boys in the village. Beloved, I spent five carefree years in the countryside.Later, due to his studies, he was taken back to city b by his parents. Until his grandparents passed away one after another in his sophomore year, Wen Ran never returned to that small village.

Just as Wen Ran was recalling the past, Grandpa took out a jade pendant and gave it to Xiao Zhengtai. The jade pendant was a very ordinary pendant with a red knot tied on the top.Although many years have passed, I still have a little impression of this jade pendant. I was not in good health when I was a child, and I often had fevers and illnesses. My grandfather was superstitious. It is in the shape of an animal. It is said that it has been enlightened and can ward off evil spirits. Because it is more expensive, he has been carefully wearing it around his neck.

Looking at the plain nephrite, Wen Ran couldn't help touching his chest, but there was nothing there.During the junior high school sports meeting, I fell down and accidentally smashed the jade pendant. Because I wore it next to my body, I cut a scary cut on my chest and bled a lot, but the wound did not leave any scars.However, Wen Ran clearly remembered that there seemed to be something more in the back of his head after being injured, and he was in a feeling of nothingness and mystery.At the time, I thought it was a sequela of a concussion, but after taking pictures, it showed that there was no problem. Later, the feeling became weaker and weaker, and I ignored it soon after.Later, Mother Wen didn't allow Wen Ran to wear such accessories anymore, but afterward Wen Ran's physical problems disappeared, so Grandpa simply didn't insist anymore.

The picture of Xiao Zhengtai fanning his grandpa in front of him became more and more blurred, Wen Ran struggled to rush over, but his body couldn't move, Wen Ran didn't understand why he saw these pictures, and didn't know what was wrong with his body. Slow's eyes were a little heavy, and his consciousness began to sink into chaos.

Suddenly there was a muffled thunderous shout in the air: "Wen Ran!"

The body suddenly lost weight, Wen Ran opened his eyes suddenly, the picture in front of him had changed, he was standing in a place that seemed to be a paradise, and in the distance was an endless verdant grass field, where lush and tall unknown trees were sparsely erected. The trees, the cool breeze, and the wavy green swaying from time to time with some red or purple flowers, everything makes people so refreshed.

There is a small yard in front of it, and there is an exquisite log cabin in the yard. There is only a stone table and a few stone benches in front of the cabin. It is like a painting, quiet and beautiful.

"Hey, have you seen enough?" The voice just now sounded again, with some impatience in the tone.

Wen Ran woke up suddenly, and looked around, but couldn't find where the sound came from.

"Stupid, step."

Hearing this, Wen Ran lowered her head and looked down. There was a snow-white animal about the size of a dog sitting on the grass under her feet. A little bit of contempt.

Uh, that's right, this dog-like creature did look at him with contempt.

No way······

"Stupid human being, hmph, you should be terrified when you see this immortal." The animal looked at the stunned Wen Ran and said triumphantly.

really spoke...

"Dog, the dog actually talked..." Wen Ran felt that the things that happened after the heatstroke became more and more bizarre, completely beyond his imagination. After opening his mouth, he found that he seemed to have recovered and was able to speak .

"What nonsense, this immortal is a noble white fox!" The white fox bared its teeth at Wen Ran with a ferocious expression, "Don't compare this immortal with those humble creatures!"

arctic fox?The beautiful and fluffy tail at the back is indeed like a fox, but although I have never seen a fox before, a fox probably can't speak.

"Why don't you speak, this immortal saved your life, so this is how you treat your savior?" The white fox impatiently slapped Wen Ran's feet with his tail a few times, "If it wasn't for me, you would have died long ago. "

"Ah, I'm still alive?" Wen Ran was a little overwhelmed, "Where is this?"

"This is the space of the Soul Cultivation Jade. Recently, the aura of the outside world has been too turbulent. You are the body of the whole spirit and your soul was almost torn apart. I had to pull it into the Soul Cultivation Jade."

Aura?soul?Soul nourishing jade?I don't understand at all...

Seeing his blank face, Baihu began to explain to him reluctantly.
