doom monster

Chapter 2

"Are you here yet?"

The waiting time to leave was particularly difficult. With a worried face, Yu Qiu dragged Xiao Zhou to ask the 23rd interview today.

Xiao Zhou was quite helpless, answering lazily.

Yu Qiu was not annoyed at all, looking at the wall clock on the wall, wishing he could go over and help it walk faster.

There was still half an hour before the departure time, and Yu Qiu felt like returning home.

Seeing that the time was getting closer, Yu Qiu couldn't bear to ask again: "Why haven't you come yet?"

Xiao Zhou stroked his forehead, but before he answered, the staff next to him couldn't stand it anymore.

It was a middle-aged man who spoke, and he said impatiently, "There is no end."

Yu Qiu was taken aback, but fell silent for a moment.

He was a little afraid of this man, so he couldn't help leaning on Xiao Zhou.

Yu Qiu knew everyone here, but except for Grandpa and Xiao Zhou, he didn't like the rest.

This feeling was indescribable, but in short it made him feel inexplicably uncomfortable.

Although Xiao Zhou was annoyed by Yu Qiu's nagging about being like a little old man, he couldn't ignore Yu Qiu's shrinking into his arms like a frightened rabbit.

The middle-aged man looked at Yu Qiu's reaction and just wanted to say a few words.Suddenly hearing two warning coughs, he glanced at Xiao Zhou and turned his head away with a cold snort.

Yu Qiu was concerned about the middle-aged man, afraid of making him dissatisfied again, so he finally stopped talking, and Xiao Zhou's ears were quiet for a moment.

The pointer finally points to 3 pm one frame at a time.Yu Qiu couldn't wait to get up.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhou dragged him back before taking two steps, and at the same time gave him a set of protective clothing.

Yu Qiu held the protective clothing in his hands for a moment, thinking of the reporter in the news, the screams seemed to be in his ears.

He was a little scared, and said seriously to Xiao Zhou: "You don't want to give me another set, I'm not fat."

Xiao Zhou twitched the corners of his mouth: "Huh? Give me another set?? You go shopping at the street stalls. It's not easy for me to get these. The rush outside has long been crazy. Everyone has them, and even disposable masks are out of stock." Forget it, forget it, why tell you these things. Anyway, it’s one set for each person, not much.”

"Oh..." Yu Qiu felt a little regretful, pulled off his clothes and put them on.

The protective clothing is not heavy, but it is very stuffy, and I feel uncomfortable when I put it on; Yu Qiu wanted to take it off countless times, but after all, he finally endured the scream.

After all, life is more important than discomfort.

After changing clothes, Yu Qiu lowered his head and grabbed the fabric, looking at everything that was not pleasing to the eye.

Xiao Zhou coughed and tugged at the corner of his clothes, pointing to the slowly opening door, and asked Yu Qiu to put on the mask hanging on his chin.

Yu Qiu did as he said, but unfortunately it was still a step too late.

Almost at the moment when the door opened, a pungent diesel mixed with rancid smell came along with the breeze, making it sticky and making people want to vomit.

Yu Qiu didn't make any preparations, and was thrown all over his face unexpectedly.

He was dazed for a few seconds, and the next moment, the taste that challenged his sense of smell successfully contributed the undigested lunch to the floor.

In an instant, there was a pool of filth on the clean ground.There was a sour smell in Yu Qiu's mouth, and before the nausea was over, the stench was inhaled even more while he was panting; it was like a vicious circle until Yu Qiu couldn't vomit anything anymore.

He retched unceasingly, his abdomen was sour from vomiting, his lips trembled uncontrollably, his rosy face was even paler, as if he had just been ruined.

spoil...

What a nonsense metaphor.Xiao Zhou twitched the corners of his mouth, and stayed aside, at a loss.

The indoor air purifier is specially treated, which can well isolate the bad air outside. Xiao Zhou was too busy to touch the ground when he came back, so he didn't have time to prepare for Yu Qiu in advance.

At this moment, he is neither standing nor giving Shunqi.Yu Qiu trembled and trembled, his footsteps were sloppy like a sister Lin's, he was afraid that if he didn't go well, he would be photographed on the ground.

A close contact with that big puddle of vomit means that Qiu Huan might die with him when he comes over.

Yu Qiu finally vomited enough, wiped his mouth, and put back the protective mask on his chin with difficulty; he covered it tightly, his eyes were full of horror, obviously frightened by the lethality of the wind.

Xiao Zhou was inexplicably wanting to laugh, but finally held back his lips.

It took a lot of time for Yu Qiu to vomit, and there were already complaints among the staff, and they had to leave immediately.

Xiao Zhou cleared his throat and waved his hand to signal to go.

The distance between City X and City H is not close, so it is naturally impossible for them to go to City H on foot, and a few helicopters came to pick them up.

The research institute is surrounded by mountains, and the terrain is relatively steep and the vegetation is dense. Even if it is withered now, the dead branches and leaves are not suitable as a landing point.

After discussing with the person who responded to them, Xiao Zhou chose an elementary school in a nearby town.

The elementary school was built a few years ago, funded by a charity, and gathered all the children in nearby villages and towns to study; although the equipment inside is a bit outdated, the playground built is very large, so it has become the best option for landing.

The elementary school is located in Qingyang Town, about a mile away from the research institute. The sun is still shining brightly at the moment, and the mountain will set in two hours, which means that they don't have much time left.

Although Yu Qiu was sore all over, he also knew that he couldn't be hypocritical at this moment. Everyone's anxiety and dissatisfaction were clearly displayed on their faces. After all, he insisted on following the large army and was unwilling to hold back.

Pingyang Town said it was not long or far away, but everyone carried heavy things on their backs, and the pace slowed down after a long time.

Seeing that the sunset was about to set, Xiao Zhou was so anxious that his forehead was full of sweat.Fortunately, on the way, they ran into soldiers who couldn't wait to come over to meet them.

The soldiers with guns and live ammunition numbered 10 were all physically strong, and those who carried a few boxes of things were walking like flying.

Qingyang Town arrived soon, and the sound of helicopter propellers could be heard from a distance.

They delayed for too long, and the soldiers who were waiting there had long since become impatient, swearing obscenities from the mouths of the civilians who had heard the news.

"Damn it, these weak chickens, what time is it, they dragged on for a full 30 minutes, did they crawl over?"

"Damn it, I'm going to fuck it, I can't stop it and I still don't come, these little bastards, fuck it."

"Are these people crazy?"

As the soldier said, people really seemed to be crazy, not afraid of death, and desperately wanted to get on those helicopters; in their eyes, it was hope, the only hope to get out of here.

They have been waiting for too long, too long, day after day in the dark, as if they will never see the future.

In the boundless air like poison, the reason is also worn out in the moment when the family members become cannibalistic monsters.

At this moment, the arrival of these officers and soldiers made everyone think that they were looking forward to it, and countless people rushed out regardless of the danger.

Countless voices of "Help me" came and went one after another, which made the soldiers feel unbearable.

They also want to save, but there are 17 billion people in the whole country, major cities have fallen one after another, and there are tens of thousands of people asking for help.How to save how to save, people do not have three heads and six arms.

What's more, Qingyang Town is located in a remote place. If it hadn't been named by the superiors, they might not come to this place at all.God knows how long they haven't slept since they went to the front line.

People's emotions are getting more and more intense, and they are about to lose control. If they let it go, no one will be able to leave.Someone with a bad temper pulled the trigger directly to the sky, followed by a loud roar followed by a loud gunshot.

"Shut up, who is taking a step forward, die."

The people stopped clamoring for a moment, and the smoking gun in the soldier's hand made them fearful.

However, the chaos that was finally stopped broke the illusion of calm again when Xiao Zhou and the others arrived late and tried to board the plane.

Everyone wants to leave, and after life, you push and grab each other, just for a way to survive.

A young mother was accidentally pushed to the ground while holding a young child in her arms. The child hurt from the fall and burst into tears instantly.

The child's yelling did not arouse any pity or sympathy. Perhaps in this chaotic scene, it has long been difficult to tell who is who.

The crowd full of complaints almost broke through the defense line covered by the soldiers.Countless hands grabbed and pulled the person wearing protective clothing to replace him.

Yu Qiu himself hadn't recovered from his vomiting, and his waist was sore and his legs were weak after walking all the way. The explosive force in the crowd almost pulled him, the fish that escaped the net; fortunately, the soldiers fought back, but also because of this. Squeeze Yu Qiu away from Xiao Zhou.

At this time, guns are useless to these desperate people. The despair seems to give people endless courage, and the soldiers are gradually unable to stop them.

Xiao Zhou managed to get on the plane, but when he turned around, he found that Yu Qiu had disappeared.

He wanted to go down and look for it, but the situation simply didn't allow him to make his own way.A soldier saw that the plane was full of people and immediately closed the door of the plane. Xiao Zhou anxiously looked out of the window and Yu Qiu was going crazy. Even the staff sitting next to him panicked.

Xiao Zhou almost smashed the windows, and the soldiers outside the helicopter turned a deaf ear.The impression they gave the soldiers was really bad, and the soldiers were too lazy to pay any attention to these people as they were about to complete the task.

So what about the people at the top, can they do whatever they want?These people's lives are their lives, but others are not?

The soldier was very impatient, he walked away directly after listening to the banging and banging behind him, completely out of sight and out of mind.

The soldiers fell on deaf ears.Xiao Zhou was so excited that he wanted to catch the pilot in front; but before he could make a move, the soldiers sitting in front of them who stayed behind to protect them looked at them indifferently, with their guns loaded and ready to go, as if they were preparing for battle. appearance.

The middle-aged man next to Xiao Zhou was quite sensible, so he stopped Xiao Zhou in fear.

Xiao Zhou spoke incoherently, and pointed at Da Bing's forehead with shaking fingers. "We must have a lot of people, otherwise the professor will not let you go."

However, the soldiers were indifferent to his threats, and when he finished speaking, he said stiffly: "We are soldiers, and there is only one leader, called the country."

It means that the professor is a fart, and they don't care.

...

The riot outside the helicopter continued. The soldiers boarded another plane one after another, and the helicopter began to rise slowly. At this time, there was only the last one left on the land.

Yu Qiu was knocked to the ground, unable to move an inch.

Fortunately, the white protective clothing on him was very conspicuous. A soldier in charge of finishing noticed him, and violently kicked away those crazy people to cover him.

Yu Qiu got up, thanked him gratefully, and rushed towards the last plane with all his might, but at this moment, a thin woman suddenly stopped him.

The woman was dressed thinly, her complexion was gray, and there seemed to be a layer of lifelessness between her brows.She hugged a young child tightly in her arms, pleading all over her face, tears glistening in her cloudy eyes, begging: "You save him, you save him."

"Please, I won't live long, but my child still has a long way to go, he's only 6 years old."

"Please help me."

"He is very small and doesn't eat much, please take him with you."

The woman's rough fingers grabbed Yu Qiu's wrist, and several blood-stained fingerprints were imprinted on Yu Qiu's snow-white protective clothing in an instant.

It was only then that he noticed that the woman's right hand seemed to be dislocated, and she was struggling to hold the child and was hanging feebly, while the skin on her left hand was worn out, dripping with blood as if she couldn't feel the pain.

She fell to her knees with a plop, looked at Yu Qiu in despair, and kowtowed heavily.

Yu Qiu's heart sank, and he couldn't bear these heavy kowtows at all.

The child in her arms is still ignorant, and the woman seems to have given all protection to the child. The child is tightly wrapped, and only a pair of black and white eyes are exposed from the whole body.

He seemed a little uneasy, grabbed the woman by the collar in a daze, and whispered: "Mom..."

The soldier in front had already retreated slowly towards the hatch of the helicopter, and the soldier who was covering Yu Qiu couldn't stop it either.

Yu Qiu looked at the soldiers in front, the woman kneeling on the ground, and the few places on the helicopter.

At that moment he thought a lot.

He thought of his grandfather who was waiting for him, Xiao Zhou who was hard-spoken and soft-hearted; and himself who delayed everyone because of procrastination.

Yu Qiu fell silent suddenly, as if he had made some kind of decision, helped the woman up from the ground, gritted his teeth, took off the protective clothing and the protective mask on his face, and handed them to her.

The woman was still in a daze, so Yu Qiu pushed her and urged, "Let's go."

The woman was stunned, and looked at him in disbelief. She suddenly shed tears and kowtowed her head again.

The last helicopter began to slowly rise, and at his own will, the woman boarded the plane with the help of a soldier.

The helicopter was already packed to the brim, apparently overweight.

And Yu Qiu gave up the last position.

The woman's gratitude couldn't be repeated, and Yu Qiu watched the plane take off staggeringly. The heat from the helicopter was blowing slowly, messing up his chestnut hair.

People chased after them like crazy and tried to drag down the helicopter by themselves.

They roared and cursed and vented their anger, and Yu Qiu even saw an old man who accidentally tripped to the ground and was trampled to death by innocent people before he could get up in time.

He was like an outsider, looking at this pair of scenes that upended his three views, he was powerless to stop him, unable to make a sound like a mute.

It wasn't until a familiar face flashed past him that he finally came back to his senses.

Without the protective clothing, although he was wearing a shirt, his exposed skin instantly became painful; the skin on his face was exposed to the disgusting air like a needle prick, and the strong stench suffocated Yu Qiu again. I couldn't help retching.

Yu Qiu has a very good memory. He came to Qingyang Town 2 years ago, and the middle-aged man who passed by was the owner of a convenience store in the town.

The friendly convenience store owner in my impression, like everyone else, ran a few steps towards the helicopter going away unwillingly. Seeing the helicopter drifting away, he cursed angrily.

Yu Qiu followed the voice, and the owner of the convenience store looked back with hostility in his eyes, which made Yu Qiu's heart shudder.

He suddenly became a little scared.

Everything around him feels familiar, yet so strange.

He clearly realized that everyone he was familiar with had left, and he was left alone, facing this familiar yet strange world.

Yu Qiu was at a loss, and at a certain moment he didn't understand why he had to give up the position of leaving to that strange woman.

Obviously, as long as he got on the helicopter, he could return to his grandfather's side, only a little, a few steps away; but he just couldn't take a step.

He only knew that at that moment he was very uncomfortable, unspeakably uncomfortable, uncomfortable that he had never felt in 19 years.So he did that, even though he didn't know where to go at the moment, but he didn't regret it.

...

Helicopters have long since become dots bordering the horizon.

Twilight quietly covered the sky at some point, and there were only a few people left on the huge school playground, and the hustle and bustle of the day returned to silence.

Yu Qiu didn't know what to do or where to go, he watched the scattered people and instinctively followed.

I don't know if it's his illusion, but he always feels that after twilight falls, people look at the sky frequently, with no hidden fear in their eyes.

It seems that some kind of terrifying existence will appear there in the next second.

It's like saying, "They're coming."

The author has something to say:

I... seem to be cold...

Hey, it's okay, I'll be fine if I cry for a month.
