Volume 2: The Age of Monks Chapter 35: Ghosts in Action, People at Work
On a quiet hill, an invisible figure walked out of the blood-red mist. It walked on two legs like a human being, but it was floating in the air and looked around curiously.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar environment around him, he patted his non-existent head, trying to recall something, but he couldn't remember it after thinking for a long time. He always felt that something was lost. He wanted to look for it but had no direction, so he could only wander.
Destination wanders.
Gradually the red mist dissipated, and only a new grave could be seen on the spot. Judging from the appearance of the graveyard, it was a new grave for burial, no more than seven days old. There were bright firecracker debris around the graveyard.
Similar situations began to appear all over Blue Star. Countless newly buried people turned into ghosts and crawled out of the graves. Some stayed in place with no reason and mania. Some lost their memories of their lives but had no idea about their lives.
The place feels familiar, I want to find something, but I wander around aimlessly.
In Shen City, on the morning of the third day after the apocalypse, Han Shan received a call from his boss, informing him that the company would start working normally today. Han Shan cleaned up his personal hygiene, picked up his coat and went downstairs.
Walking out of the Tongzi Tower in the urban village, Han Shan felt that the light was very dark. He looked up at the sky and found that there was still no sun in the sky. Just like the first day of the apocalypse, it was filled with a faint red mist, and he could also see the blood-red moon reflected in it.
I looked at the time displayed on my phone. It was 9.01 a.m., 29 minutes before work.
The traffic jams on the road in the past two days are still being sorted out, but public transportation has been allowed to pass. Private cars are temporarily not allowed to pass. Most of the busy people are military and police figures, and there are not a few people visible.
This is the initial situation after the end of the world. As long as the Blue Star is not destroyed, the society is not unrest, and the public security and politics are stable, people will still do what they should do before the end of the world. In addition to becoming stronger physically and more energetically, there is nothing else.
Variety.
People who work continue to work. After all, they still have to eat and pay rent every month. But the good thing is that the rent has dropped dramatically. A house that used to cost 1,500 yuan per room now only costs 500 yuan. In the apocalypse after the huge population drop, housing prices have borne the brunt and have been cut in half. The economy
Nature has shrunk sharply, and the economic conditions of all Blue Star countries have returned to decades ago overnight.
People who enjoy themselves are still enjoying themselves, but more wealthy people are beginning to pursue improving the strength of monks. Fields surrounding monks are rapidly opening up, leading the economy from an era of ordinary people's needs to an era of monks' needs.
Han Shan was sitting on the bus, scrolling through his mobile phone. He felt that the signal was very stuck today, and there was a lag when he opened the video playback. It was not as smooth as before, but out of boredom, he could only endure the lag and continue to watch the video.
In the video, CCTV news is played, which is a compulsory video. Kang Fei is broadcasting the news content: "The end of the world came three days ago. All surviving humans have evolved into monks, and humans have officially entered the age of monks. This year we call
It’s the first year of the monks; two days ago some lawbreakers took advantage of their evolved and powerful bodies to carry out acts of robbery, kidnapping and wounding, thinking that the end of the world is coming and they will be lawless. This is stupid behavior. Everyone must recognize the facts.
, Evolution is a process of unity for all people. The physical difference after evolution of each person will not be too big. You can't beat anyone; not to mention that the country is still there, the military and police are still there, and any behavior that violates laws and disciplines will be severely punished.
, it has so far handled 3,456 illegal cases and arrested 15,825 illegal persons...
Han Shan watched the content of the video broadcast, shook his head speechlessly, and showed a helpless smile. He didn't know whether he was laughing at the stupidity of these lawbreakers, or laughing at himself for still living at the lower level of society, living a life of a bull and horse, thinking that he had an opportunity at the end of the world, but instead
It's just a mirror image.
Life still has to go on. At least the cost of living is several times smaller now, and wages have not dropped, which can be considered a comfort! Although this is a benefit brought about by the failure of evolution of the nearly 700 million Dragon Kingdom people, let’s put it that way!
Han Shan remembered a saying on the Internet before the end of the world, "The way for ordinary people to improve their quality of life is to exterminate themselves." It seems reasonable now, but it means that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, and I will enjoy the blessings without children and grandchildren.
After getting off the bus, Han Shan walked into the building where the company was located and felt waves of cold air coming over him. The core of his body beat automatically, and a surge of energy surged out and spread around.
An invisible humanoid figure appeared in Han Shan's perception. The figure looked at Han Shan, seeming to be thinking about something, but soon drifted towards Han Shan, and a sense of crisis surged in Han Shan's heart.
Facing the invisible shadow rushing towards him, Han Shan instinctively activated his core energy, raised his hand and directed a beam of energy towards the invisible shadow, sending the shadow flying backwards and letting out a silent and angry roar.
Then he rushed towards Han Shan and opened his big mouth to bite Han Shan. The big mouth occupied the entire shadow and could swallow Han Shan's entire body in one bite. Han Shan was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly, and the energy from his core kept swaying out.
The shadow was very fast. In an instant, it was in front of Han Shan and swallowed Han Shan in one gulp. Han Shan immediately felt like he had fallen into an ice cave, and his whole body was extremely cold and uncomfortable.
Feeling that he might be frozen to death in a few minutes, Han Shan, under great fear, exploded the energy of his core core with all his strength. Driven by strong willpower, all the energy in his core core was exploded, from Han Shan
The mountain body shot out in all directions, piercing directly through the shadow's body like a sharp sword. In a silent wail, the invisible shadow exploded, and an extremely cold breath radiated around, lowering the surrounding temperature several times.
Spend.
After exploding the core energy, Han Shan felt exhausted all over, as if he had worked overtime for two days and two nights before the end of the world. He collapsed, couldn't open his eyelids, and fell directly to the ground and fell asleep.
This encounter between man and ghost unfolded silently. After a brutal and terrifying fierce fight, it ended with a silent explosion, leaving only Han Shan sleeping on the ground and the surrounding low-temperature environmental changes. No one knew what happened here.
matter.
There were very few companies working in the building today, and after a few minutes, no one working was seen walking in. The property patrol officers on duty soon discovered Han Shan sleeping on the ground.
A middle-aged man wearing a security uniform walked in. Feeling the low temperature around Hanshan, he shuddered and said to himself: "Why is it so cold here?"
After helping Han Shan up and exiting the building, the security guard felt that the temperature returned to normal. However, Han Shan was still as cold as ice and could only call the police.
Soon the military and police were dispatched, and a police car drove in and took the sleeping Han Shan to the hospital. After arriving at the hospital, several military police found that the hospital was full of patients with the same symptoms as Han Shan.
The beds in the entire hospital were full, and several military police could only hand Han Shan over to the hospital and place him on a bed in the corridor while they had to perform other tasks.
In the hospital conference room, a man in his fifties sat in the main seat and said to the doctors in white coats around him: "After testing, it can be basically confirmed that all the symptoms are cold all over the body, and some people also have cold symptoms.
There are life signs, but some people no longer have life signs. From the perspective of Western medicine, all people's body functions are in an extremely healthy state. Can you tell me what kind of disease this is?"
The doctors discussed in low voices, and a doctor who was about the same age as the dean said: "It shouldn't be some kind of disease. As soon as I get close to these patients, the core of my body will spontaneously activate to resist the cold air.
, I think this should be related to ghosts, but currently we don’t have the medical technology in this area and can’t start. We need to ask the scientists at the Imperial Capital Research Institute for help.”
"Yes, Director Wu is right," an emergency department director said: "I also had such a reaction as soon as I got close to these patients, and I found that these patients all fainted in the red circle and were patrolled by the patrolling soldiers.
The police or the public found out and sent them to the hospital."
Following the speeches of the doctors, everyone almost had the same reaction and the same opinion, and the decision was soon unified, and the dean reported the matter to his superiors.
After reports at all levels, the problem soon appeared on the desk of the Imperial City Health Commission. A section chief of the Health Commission in charge of Shenzhen City's docking matter frowned at the report. After reading it, he immediately got up from his seat and hurriedly walked
Go to the director's office.
After knocking on the door, a voice came from inside the house. After pushing the door open, the section chief handed the report to the director and said: "A special illness has appeared in Shen City. They suspect it is related to ghosts. I hope the Imperial Capital Research Institute can
Come out and have a look.”
The director took the report, glanced at it, threw it on the table, and said with a wry smile: "You are not the first one. Look, these are all urgently sent by colleagues from health commissions across the country. They are almost all the same.
I have already reported the situation to Qinzhengdian, let’s wait for Qinzhengdian to arrange the rest!”
In the Imperial Capital, Qinzheng Hall, the king looked at the report in his hand, raised his head and asked his secretary: "Is this happening all over the country? What is the current damage situation? Has the report been sent to the Imperial Capital Research Institute?"
The secretary replied in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, similar situations have occurred in 4,700 places across the country. These places are red circles drawn when the apocalypse comes. Currently, the number of people who are frozen and unconscious has reached 158,654. Reports will be sent to them as soon as possible.
The Imperial Capital Research Institute.”
Hearing that nearly 160,000 people were killed and injured, the king's face showed a look of grief. Just three days after the end of the world, mankind began to face unknown disasters again. It was so painful. I don't know if mankind can move forward.
Full of worry and sadness, Kuomintang set out to the Imperial Research Institute to see what was going on, so that he could lead the Chinese nation to the right path.
In the Imperial Research Institute, in the laboratory, Wei Yi led a dozen of Blue Star's top scientists, sniffing around the body of a young boy who was cold all over, checking the boy's various body functions, and doing experimental research.
Looking at the experimental data, the boy's body is extremely healthy, and his brain wave activity is also very normal. It is not the brain wave activity of a sleeping person at all. His heart is beating strongly, other body organs are also working normally, and there is also a cold aura in his body.
Dissipate slowly.
After reading the experimental data, an old man said: "It's nothing serious. This is an invasion of evil energy. I guess this young man has fought with ghosts and was injured by the evil energy brought by ghosts, which caused the core of the heart to weaken and it will take time to slow down."
Recover slowly, as long as the core of the heart is restored to vitality, the cold and cold energy in the body will soon dissipate."
When the scientists heard this, they all nodded in agreement. Wei Yi took over and said, "Injecting Yang Qi will speed up the recovery. It seems that we need to speed up the search for a substance with a strong core, otherwise..."
