The world enters the age of myth

Early the next morning, Lu Yiming packed his luggage and left the institute with complicated emotions. Take a shuttle bus at the suburban bus station and go to East China City where you used to live.

East China City is one of the satellite cities of Yunhai City. It is responsible for absorbing part of the population of the mother city and has some of its own industries.

The famous Internet company "Tengli Dad" is located in East China City, and thanks to this, there are various large and small Internet companies in this city.

The digital information industry can be regarded as a pillar industry in East China City.

To sum it up, Lu Yiming used to be a member of the Internet migrant workers. He lived on the Internet every day, worked as a monk and clocked the clock. The boss spends all day making big deals like "stocks, options, and dreams," but when it comes to a salary increase, even if it's an increase of 100 yuan, his face will definitely darken, as if his heart has been cut.

The boss's shout seemed to ring in my ears: "...You young people can't think about making money all day long! You must have dreams, dreams! Do you know what a dream is? When I started my business, I didn't work every day. By 12 o’clock, I got up at 5 o’clock in the morning!”

Lu Yiming shook his head, smiled bitterly, and threw these past memories behind his mind.

This time, after going back two months later, his mentality changed subtly.

Looking at the cars coming and going on the highway, it seems that nothing is happening in the whole society, and commercial trade and logistics traffic are still normal. Lu Yiming always has an unreal feeling of contradiction.

He didn't know whether he should believe Professor Huang's theory, or when the S-class disaster would come. However, it is better to prepare for the worst-case scenario as much as possible than to be careless and act as if nothing has happened.

Lu Yiming suddenly remembered something and made a phone call: "Hey, Mom...ah, it's me, I'm back from abroad! What, you are buying vegetables...Pork has gone up again?"

"Oh, let's buy some chicken."

As expected, my mother started chatting about some little things in life, as usual, and then asked him whether he was used to eating foreign food, whether foreign girls were pretty, whether they spoke fluent languages, etc. It would be best if I could find a foreign wife.

"Eating habits, eating habits, pizza, beef!"

The older generation always has a mentality of worshiping foreign countries, as if marrying a foreign wife can bring glory to one's ancestors. Even though Lu Yiming actually has no interest in foreign women.

"...Don't keep saying this. I mainly go to work, so how can I have time to find a foreigner to fall in love with? Why do I want a foreign wife? And all foreigners have body odor. You know, you have to apply a lot of perfume to do it." Mask the smell."

"By the way, there's a huge bonus this time!" Lu Yiming hesitated for a while and only reported a fraction of the money, "A full...200,000 bonus! Ahem!"

"What, 200,000?! Real or fake?" On the other side of the phone, my mother's voice was slightly amplified.

In their small city, 200,000 is indeed a lot of money.

In particular, Lu Yiming has only graduated from school for a year. Being able to earn this amount of money definitely has a bright future.

"Of course it's true. You can make money quickly by developing games. Those wealthy people can top up hundreds of thousands... I tell you, if this project goes well, you can earn an annual salary of one million!" Lu Yiming pretended. To put it exaggeratedly, it was like being vaccinated in advance.

"When the stock is listed, there may be tens of millions."

"An annual salary of one million? Is it true or false?"

"Of course it's true. Two months' salary is two hundred thousand, isn't it one million a year?"

Mom fell silent, it was a little hard for her to accept this fact.

Her life experience was of no use in the face of such a high salary. She was unable to continue to guide her son, which made her a little confused. Then, she couldn't help but start thinking about what kind of girl could be worthy of her genius son.

Lu Yiming sighed in his heart. His parents kept thinking about what he did not do well and what he did wrong. It was all because he didn't make enough money!

As long as they make enough money, they will shut up immediately.

He asked again: "By the way, are there any strange things happening over there? It's that kind of very strange thing... Has anyone died mysteriously nearby?"

"Something weird? Oh, the grandma next door got food poisoning after eating black fungus overnight. She was sent to the hospital for emergency treatment for several days before she was rescued."

"I tell you, never eat black fungus that has been left overnight..."

When Lu Yiming heard that nothing happened to his parents, he felt relieved: "...Forget it, that's it, the money has been transferred, you can save it for me, bye!"

After hanging up the phone, he opened the banking software and transferred 200,000 to his mother's account.

In fact, his parents are very thrifty people, and their consumption in a small county is very low. In addition, they both have retirement salaries and are in good health, so the money they transfer is just deposited in the bank.

But for parents, having their son make money means a sense of security and accomplishment.

The farmer uncle also needs a harvest from farming. Is there anything more fulfilling than having your son make money?

Lu Yiming already had a strange image in his mind of his parents bragging about everyone they met...

In this way, more than an hour passed in a hurry. After leaving the station, he found two teammates waiting for him on the roadside.

"Hi Lily, Zhong Peng!"

"Hurry up and get in the car. Do you feel a lot more relaxed when you come to the city?" Jin Lili waved her hand in the back seat and greeted, "The atmosphere in the institute is too serious. As soon as I entered, I didn't want to talk. It suppressed the truth. nature."

"Relax? When you think of an S-class disaster in the future, you won't be able to relax..." Lu Yiming shrugged and sat in the passenger seat.

Jin Lili said carelessly: "Haha, don't worry, don't worry! Those scientists will always exaggerate the facts. In reality? Even if the sky falls, there will be tall people holding it up. It has been ten years since the prediction was made. Okay, isn't it good now? Maybe it can last for more than ten years?"

"Although I was worried like this when I first entered the institute, but isn't it the same every day?"

"And we already have tickets, so the chance of survival is better after all... OK, OK, live your life well every day."

Lu Yiming shook his head and just sighed secretly.

He knows something now, even more than his two teammates, and he understands the severity of the situation.

The car was parked in a parking lot near a large security company. Jin Lili pointed to the 30-story building opposite and said: "This is where we work... It claims to be a famous security company, but it is actually a network company." Data collection base.”

"Actually, it's nothing special. Just check in every day. We are not staff responsible for information screening, so we usually move freely and can go wherever we want. If we can find naturally occurring monsters by chance, , naturally the best.”

"However, if your superiors send corresponding task instructions on your mobile phone, you will have to go there in person. So your mobile phone must be kept on 24 hours a day, understand? It is best not to drink to avoid delays. "

Lu Yiming is not a heavy drinker and knows the importance of the task: "No problem."
