After packing his luggage in the empty dormitory, Lin Cheng took out his mobile phone and called up the contact list and dialed a number.
"Hello!"
Hearing a familiar voice on the phone, Lin Cheng organized his words and then said softly: "Hey, Aunt Qin, it's me, Lin Cheng! I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Lin Cheng was interrupted by the voice on the other end of the phone!
"Oh, you brat, you still know how to call aunt! Tell me how long it has been since you took the initiative to contact me?! How have you considered what I told you some time ago? Listen to aunt and come to Qiongzhou! You will be in Qiongzhou this year!
You are already a senior in college. Come to Qiongzhou and Auntie will arrange a good job for you. You can practice as an intern first, and then you can go back to get your graduation certificate, okay?"
Listening to Aunt Qin on the other end of the phone starting to chatter to herself endlessly, Lin Cheng smiled bitterly and rubbed his forehead, and could only interrupt her forcibly.
"Aunt Qin, please listen to me first! I have already thought about it and will go to Qiongzhou to find you in the next two days! I just want to tell you in advance..."
Hearing that Lin Cheng finally agreed to her, Aunt Qin on the other end of the phone suddenly smiled and said, "You brat finally figured it out! Okay, I'll put the toll on your card in a minute. Remember to give it to me before you get on the plane.
Call me so I can pick you up!"
Finally, after Lin Cheng kept promising that he would never give up and repeatedly refused the travel expenses, Aunt Qin reluctantly hung up the phone.
Lin Cheng let out a long sigh after hanging up the phone. Every time he talked to Aunt Qin on the phone, she would nag her like this. After a long time, it became unbearable...
Aunt Qin had no blood relationship with him. She was just a kind-hearted person who had been silently supporting Lin Cheng. As for why she chose him for one-on-one support, Lin Cheng didn't know, and Aunt Qin never told him.
Ever since he found out that he had been supported by others, Lin Cheng wanted to know who that kind person was. The dean couldn't stand his persuasion and finally told him Aunt Qin's phone number when he was a freshman.
Lin Cheng felt a little uneasy when he got the phone, but his grateful heart finally defeated the feeling of strangeness, and the surprise voice on the other end of the phone slowly calmed down his uneasy mood.
Since the two of them got in touch, Aunt Qin would call him and ask about his current situation. Her gentle care made Lin Cheng feel like a relative for the first time.
As for Aunt Qin's situation, Lin Cheng also got a general idea of it after many phone calls. Aunt Qin's full name is Qin Shuyi. She is almost fifty years old this year. She has opened a cosmetics company. She has a daughter who is a freshman in college and her husband is a government official.
, it can be said to be a happy and wealthy family.
However, Aunt Qin, who was born into a wealthy family, looked at a lonely orphan like him in a different light. Her unabashed care made Lin Cheng feel truly equal treatment for the first time, so in his heart, Aunt Qin was already his relative.
!
Thinking that unknown changes would come at any time, and that terrible incidents of hurting people were happening every day, Lin Cheng, who was afraid that Aunt Qin's family would be affected, quickly picked up his luggage and took a taxi to the airport.
Sitting in the taxi, Lin Cheng looked out the window at the fog that had not dissipated since the morning but had become thicker and thicker. He began to feel a little unsure.
Although he has never flown on a plane, it does not prevent him from knowing that if there is heavy fog, the plane will probably not take off!
Secretly praying that the thick fog would dissipate soon, Lin Cheng finally arrived at Zhongzhou International Airport an hour later.
As soon as he ran into the airport hall, he saw that the spacious hall was already crowded with passengers waiting to board the plane. The noisy arguments made him feel bad. He quickly squeezed through the crowd and ran to the counter to find out the situation from the conductor.
, but heard the female conductor in front of her who was also sweating profusely, patiently explaining to an anxious middle-aged aunt.
"...I'm really sorry, Miss. Due to the foggy weather, the visibility is far below 350 meters. All flights are not allowed to take off according to regulations. We deeply apologize for the inconvenience caused to you..."
Hearing the conductor's explanation, Lin Cheng felt increasingly uneasy!
Is it a coincidence? Or is it a prelude to great changes?
Lin Cheng shook his head, now is not the time to dwell on this!
He took out his cell phone and opened the weather forecast. Seeing that there were warnings of heavy fog in the next few days, Lin Cheng turned off his cell phone bitterly, ran out of the airport hall, stopped a car, and rushed to the train station.
Sitting back in the taxi again, Lin Cheng felt very upset.
If he had believed in the system earlier, he would have flown to Qiongzhou to join Aunt Qin by now.
Unfortunately, nothing could have happened. Lin Cheng could only take out his mobile phone. Just when he wanted to check the nearest train schedule from Zhongzhou to Qiongzhou, he heard the news playing on the radio in the car.
"It is reported that at 4:27 this morning, the D291 train from Yanjing to Xin'an suffered a serious derailment when it was traveling to Changshan! The cause of the derailment is under investigation and the number of injured is being counted. Please pay attention to follow-up reports for the specific situation...
…”
"...At 8:30, flight CX5741 from Shanghai to New York crashed..."
"From Uzang to Luzhou... this accident has caused 180 deaths and 461 injuries. In addition, there are 79 missing passengers..."
"The Ministry of Railways of China has issued an emergency notice to all units at 10 o'clock in the morning. Due to the influence of heavy fog, many train derailments have occurred. All trains have temporarily stopped operating. Please pay attention to the official website of the Ministry of Railways for the next departure time...
"
Listening to one bad news after another on the radio, Lin Cheng felt a deep sense of powerlessness...
Leaning on the back seat and rubbing his temples vigorously, Lin Cheng frantically thought about what he should do in his mind, but every thought was shattered one by one by the cold reality!
Planes cannot take off and trains have stopped operating. Do we have to drive to Qiongzhou by ourselves?
Not to mention that he doesn’t even have a driver’s license, the heavy fog in the next few days has already made it difficult for him to move!
The driver who was waiting for the red light saw Lin Cheng sitting in the back in a daze after listening to the broadcast, so he called him. Seeing Lin Cheng look at him, he said with some embarrassment: "Brother, you just said you were going to the train station, why don't you?"
Are you going? If you still want to go, I guess you have to go down and take a taxi again. The fog is getting thicker and thicker on this crazy day. I have to pick up the car early today, otherwise it will be dangerous to drive on!"
Hearing the driver ask him, Lin Cheng could only suppress his uneasiness and promised the driver to give him an extra hundred yuan as long as he was sent back to Zhongzhou University. The driver reluctantly agreed.
After a lot of twists and turns, Lin Cheng finally returned to Zhongzhou University, holding his luggage and standing on the roadside helplessly in a daze.
On the way back, he witnessed at least five more car crashes. Lin Cheng felt that since the thick fog began, there were more and more weird accidents, such as train derailments. This kind of accident that had not happened once in decades happened just this morning.
It happened six times!
He really didn't know what to do, so he finally decided to find a place to stay first.
He didn't want to go back to the dormitory. The three indifferent roommates made it impossible for Lin Cheng to get along with them for a long time. Besides, he still had some things to buy, and the dormitory was too small and inappropriate.
Lin Cheng wandered around the streets for a long time, and finally found a three-star hotel not far from the police station. He felt that places with police should be safer, and then directly put money into his card at the roadside ATM machine.
I took out all the 20,000 yuan and went to the counter to check in.
Weird phenomena have begun to appear one after another. Lin Cheng believes that the great changes mentioned by the system are not far away. At this time, it is very important to find a safe place to live.
Gritting his teeth, he paid the rent for five days. The three thousand yuan expenditure made Lin Cheng feel very distressed. However, it also has its advantages. After opening the door, the bright and spacious room finally gave Lin Cheng some sense of security.
, the equipment in the house is also very complete, including a TV, a refrigerator, a safe, and his distressed feeling has finally been relieved.
After roughly observing the room, Lin Cheng dropped his luggage and exited the room, locked the door, and ran to the supermarket next to the hotel to do some shopping.
He didn't know what the coming great changes would look like, so he could only rely on his intuition to find a relatively safe place to live, and then stock up on enough food to wait and see.
Lin Cheng bought a bunch of daily necessities, food and drinks and started transporting them to the hotel room one by one. During this period, the lobby manager came up to ask about the situation, but he was fooled by the excuse of having a party.
At this time, he no longer cared about whether others believed his excuse. After transporting the things, Lin Cheng neatly arranged the items scattered around the room, lay on the bed and rested for a while, and then quickly dialed Aunt Qin's number.
.
"Hey, Aunt Qin, it's me, Lin Cheng! Listen to me first, don't interrupt me! The father of one of my roommates is in the military, and he told us that something big might happen recently! Is there any fog in your place?
?It’s up? That’s right! There is also thick fog here, and there have been many incidents of hurting people! Combined with the derailment of the train and other situations, I don’t think he is lying!”
After talking a lot, he didn't wait for Aunt Qin to have any questions. He took a breath and continued: "So I hope you will quickly buy some food and water to stock up at home, and don't go to work anymore recently. Keep Xiaodie and uncle
I advise everyone to stay at home, as there may be unrest in the country recently! When the thick fog clears, I will go to Qiongzhou to find you and explain it to you in detail!"
Aunt Qin on the other end of the phone was a little dazed by Lin Cheng's series of words. She digested it for a while before replying: "Um... Chengzi, Auntie also found that something is not right recently, but to say that the country is in turmoil, it should be...
Isn’t that the case?”
Seeing that Aunt Qin didn't quite believe in himself, Lin Cheng was very anxious, "Aunt Qin! No matter whether there will be turmoil or not, it's always good to be prepared! You can stock up on more drinking water and fast food, so that even if everything is normal, these things can be used slowly
Solve it slowly!"
Hearing the seriousness of Lin Cheng's words, Aunt Qin still didn't believe it, but she agreed to him and told him her specific home address in detail according to Lin Cheng's instructions. After Aunt Qin told him over and over again that he must
With words of caution, both parties hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Cheng sat quietly on the bay window. Through the glass, he saw that the fog outside was a little thicker. Thinking of Aunt Qin's attitude towards this matter, he finally decided to wait for the fog to dissipate.
You have to go to Qiongzhou!
The sky has begun to gradually darken, and everything is hidden in the thick fog, as if I am the only one existing in the world.
News broadcasts on TV also repeated over and over again advising citizens not to go out and notifying all units of a mandatory one-week holiday.
By now, smarter people should have been able to tell that something is wrong.
Planes are grounded, trains are derailed on a large scale, a sudden national holiday, more and more frequent injuries, coupled with the lingering thick fog, everything smells like a storm is coming!
Turning on the computer in the room, overwhelming discussion posts have already filled the entire Internet. Young people's thinking is even more divergent. Some people are already discussing whether the end of the world is coming.
Looking at the slightly ridiculing discussion posts from these netizens, Lin Cheng shook his head. Of course he would not be stupid enough to post a post to be a savior, because if the great change really came, he would still be unable to escape, and the great change did not come.
If you do, not only will you become a joke, but you may also be sent across provinces for spreading rumors!
After browsing the Internet for a while, Lin Cheng felt a little sleepy, and finally took a look at the thick fog outside the window. He thought that he had basically done what he should do, so he washed up and went to bed.
