Chapter 505 Fission of the Earth [Second update]
Shen Xingdu easily walked to the top of the ruins and observed his surroundings.
Several pieces of concrete slipped from his feet, and the cats and dogs that lost their owners not far away were frightened and ran away in a hurry.
"How is it?" Zhen Shuai asked.
Shen Xingdu shook his head and pulled him up.
There were still ruins around, and Zhen Shuai couldn't decide which way to go. He knew the general direction, but it was really difficult to get started inside the ruins. Fortunately, both he and Shen Xingdu's shoes were made by the system and were very strong. Otherwise, their feet would have been injured by broken glass, nails, porcelain shards and the like.
The audience in the live broadcast room felt sad when they saw the devastation everywhere.
Zhen Shuai called out 004: "Xiaosi, go up, let me see how we should go."
The camera of the live broadcast system continued to climb high into the sky, and more and more scenes on the ground were included in the camera.
Zhen Shuai looked for the most suitable route on the screen.
Shen Xingdu pointed to a location on the screen, "Shuai Shuai."
The audience also exclaimed, and they saw a wide crack on the ground in the distance. The cracks are so wide when viewed from such a distance, and only wider when viewed up close.
"The power of the earthquake is too terrifying." Zhen Shuai didn't think much, "Let's get to Yonghu Mall first." Since the system arranged for him to work there, there must be a reason. He guessed it was because of the supplies in Yonghu Mall, but he didn't know if he was right.
After finding the best route, he led Shen Xingdu towards it.
On the way, they accidentally rescued two people. The two men were not seriously injured, so Zhen Shuai left some medicine for them and asked them to find a way to leave.
Half an hour later, they passed by the subway station and saw that the subway station was lucky to escape, but it had stopped operating. Even if the operation does not stop, no one would dare to take the subway.
As time goes by, the temperature gets higher and higher. Such high temperatures are not normal for spring. Some corpses on the roadside soon attracted flies.
Once again, we climbed over a mountain of ruins and finally saw a section of the road that was intact, with someone sitting on the curb to rest. Several cars drove quickly from a distance. Seeing that the road was blocked, they had to turn around and leave.
Marshmallow ran down happily first, while Ling'er stood steadily on its back.
Zhen Shuai pulled Shen Xingdu into a jog and stood on the flat road, feeling a little more relaxed.
Shen Xingdu took out a bottle of water and handed it to him.
Zhen Shuai unscrewed the lid and let him drink first, then took a few sips himself and poured the rest to Marshmallow and Ling'er.
A few people sitting on the roadside to rest looked red-eyed.
Commander Zhen did not come into contact with them. He took out two bottles of water and placed them on the ground before continuing to set off with Governor Shen Xing.
Before they could get far, the men ran over to pick up the water.
Two hours later, the Yonghu Building, standing upright, came into view, and Commander Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
The damage in this area was relatively less. From a distance, you could see many people active outside the building.
The two quickened their pace.
The shopping mall was crowded with people, all coming for the supplies. They were noisy and noisy.
Most of the people in the security department live in the dormitory, so they are here at this time. They still follow their boss's orders, but there's no way they can stop so many people on their own. People quickly broke through the security wall and rushed in, rushing to various stores. Most people's goals were food and water, but a small number of people took the opportunity to rush to the gold shop, smashed the glass door, and stuffed various gold rings, gold necklaces, gold bracelets, etc. into their pockets... The security guards' faces turned pale and they were confused
. measures. They are derelict in their duties by letting people rush in, and they don’t know how the boss will punish them.
Zhen Shuai did not go in, but stood outside the door, waving to Li Jian and Luo Siyuan who looked helpless.
Li Jian and Luo Siyuan were very surprised to see them.
"Xiao Zhen, Xiao Shen, why are you here?"
Zhen Shuai whispered: "Go to the manager quickly and ask him to find the boss and lock the warehouse door!"
Li Jian and Luo Siyuan were startled.
"Let's go now!"
Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu walked a little further and sat down on the steps.
More and more people are walking towards the mall, and some are holding knives, sticks, etc. as weapons.
Zhen Shuai knew that the supplies in the store could not be saved, but the supplies in the warehouse should be saved. He had seen before that the lock on the warehouse door was a combination lock, which could not be pried open and could only be opened through the combination. As a security guard, he shouldn't know the password, but the fact is that he knows it. He saw it through the live broadcast system before and remembered it.
Not long after, Li Jian and Luo Siyuan ran over from the side door.
"I've told the manager, and the boss happens to be here, and the warehouse door has been locked." Li Jian said while rubbing his chest. When he came out just now, he was hit by a chaotic person, and his elbow hit his chest, causing severe pain.
Luo Siyuan sat down next to Zhen Shuai and looked at Marshmallow in amazement, "Zhen Shuai, this is your dog? It's so beautiful! Is it a male or a female?" "Ouch--" Marshmallow grinned at him
. Mouth, revealing sharp teeth.
Luo Siyuan shrank his neck, "Isn't it okay if you don't ask?"
Marshmallow put away his teeth, raised his left front paw and tapped him, as if to warn him, and lay down in front of Zhen Shuai again, wagging his tail gently.
The audience in the live broadcast room laughed.
"Li Jian, did you see it! It pointed at me! It pointed at me!" Luo Siyuan jumped up and shouted in disbelief.
Li Jian rolled his eyes at him and asked Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu, "Are you okay at home?"
Zhen Shuai said: "Although the building has not collapsed, it is crooked and cannot be inhabited. We only have a few of you acquaintances in this city, so we Come here."
"We have better luck than you. There is nothing wrong with the mall." Li Jian whispered, "If you have nothing to do, don't leave. There are a lot of supplies here, and eating and drinking is not a problem. Luo Siyuan and I have decided Stay here."
Zhen Shuai nodded, "We thought so too. Are your family members okay?"
Li Jian shook his head, "I didn't get through on the phone. Luo Siyuan's family members are okay."
"Ji people have their own destiny, They will be fine." Zhen Shuai comforted.
Luo Siyuan scratched his head and sat back, "By the way, I heard a strange thing."
Zhen Shuai asked what it was. He knew that Luo Siyuan was outgoing, had many friends, and had many sources of information.
"This is Yan Yong, who is also from our security department. You should all know him. He lives on Dong'an Road. He came here with his parents this morning. I heard that he said that there was a huge crack in the ground behind his community. It's so long that you can't see the end. It's dark inside, bottomless, and very scary! It's okay anyway, should we go take a look?" Luo Siyuan was about to make a move.
Zhen Shuai asked: "Is it far?"
Luo Siyuan saw that he was a little moved and hurriedly said: "It's not far, less than four miles from here."
Zhen Shuai stood up and said, "Let's go."
Li Jian disagreed and was surprised. He looked at Shen Xingdu and said, "You don't care?"
Shen Xingdu said calmly: "As long as I'm here, Shuaishuai will be fine." Li Jian
saw that the three of them had left, and Luo Siyuan kept urging him, so he had to follow him. .
"You guys! Haven't you heard that curiosity killed the cat?"
Luo Siyuan disagreed, "Just taking a look will be fine." It
takes an average person about ten minutes to walk one mile, and more than half an hour to walk four miles, but Today the four of them walked for more than an hour to reach Dong'an Road.
"I saw it, over there!"
Luo Siyuan pointed not far away in shock.
I saw a wide chasm dividing the land into two, almost straight, as if it had been split by a giant's knife. As a result, some high-rise buildings were split in half, exposing the steel and concrete inside. Shuangyan Lake, a famous lake in the city, was also split and the water inside has drained away.
There were quite a few people at the crack, whether they were watching the fun or worrying about how to get to the other side.
As I got closer, I felt the scariness of the cracks even more. People standing next to them were like ants standing by a stream.
Commander Zhen took hold of Shen Xingdu's hand before he dared to look down. It is indeed very deep inside. Close to the ground, you can clearly see the soil layer of the cliff and the broken underground pipes of the city. The deeper you go, the darker it becomes. It is as dark as a thick black mist, and like a giant... The beast's big black mouth seems to be able to devour people at any time.
Countless viewers have tacitly switched the 4D mode to 2D mode, otherwise, they always feel that they will fall into the endless abyss in the next second.
The barrage style in the live broadcast room also became scary.
[This crack is so deep, could it lead to hell? ]
[There must be something terrible hidden inside, and maybe there will be monsters running out of the ground! ]
[What force caused this? Is it the devil? 】
Luo Siyuan thought he was very brave, and he only took one look and did not dare to take a second look.
Li Jian was cautious and never came close.
Zhen Shuai took a few steps back and said secretly to 004: [Xiaosi, ascend, I want to see how many such cracks there are. 】
The lens of the live broadcast system began to climb upwards... until the earth turned into a round ball.
All the audience gasped!
The earth they saw was like a watermelon that had been cut several times. Although it still maintained a round shape, it had actually fallen into pieces! Probably there is gravity between them, so they are not scattered!
Zhen Shuai's expression changed with horror. He had never seen such a bizarre thing before!
The lens quickly dropped and returned to its normal state.
Marshmallow and Ling'er suddenly shouted in the direction of the abyss, appearing very anxious, attracting the attention of everyone present.
After a while, they saw countless red light spots slowly floating up from the abyss, like sparks popping out of a burning charcoal pot. They were gently blown by the wind and flew in all directions. Standing next to the abyss, you can feel the temperature inside getting higher and higher, and the hot air hits your face.
People instinctively felt that these sparks were not a good thing, so they exclaimed and dodge, but some people still got sparks on them.
One person accidentally stepped on the air and fell into the abyss.
"Ah——"
The others turned pale with horror and hurriedly backed away.
There are more and more red dots, getting denser and denser, dancing in the wind.
Shen Xingdu grabbed Zhen Shuai's hand and ran back.
"Run!"
Luo Siyuan and Li Jian reacted quickly and ran after them.
Marshmallow and Ling'er didn't lag behind at all.
Behind him, screams came one after another.
Zhen Shuai turned around and saw that some people's exposed faces, necks and arms were flushed red, as if they were dripping blood. Their whole bodies had gained weight, they were running and screaming, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and lying on the ground. After losing his breath, his body returned to normal instantly.
The ground shook again, and trees and weeds began to grow wildly. In the blink of an eye, they reached a height that covered the sky and the sun, and continued to grow. People seemed to be transported instantly into the dense virgin forest!
Thick tree roots sprouted from the ground, and the ground was undulating. Zhen Shuai passively threw himself towards the ground.
Shen Xingdu jumped up, caught the person, picked him up horizontally, changed direction, and ran towards a huge stone statue standing steadily in front of him.
,
Chapter 506 Gene Explosion [Third update]
Zhen Shuai held a dagger in his hand and kept cutting off the branches blocking the road. Shen Xingdu could just pass through the gap he cut. There was an enviable tacit understanding between the two.
Luo Siyuan and Li Jian were not as neat as Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu. They fell a few times and suffered bruises and swollen faces. However, they did not dare to give up and even used their strength to suck milk.
Finally, four people and two pets ran to the stone statue.
To be precise, this is a group of stone statues, with a total of five figures, all heroes who died in Yonghu City during the war years. The five people were divided into two rows, and the gap formed between them was just big enough for Zhen Shuai, Shen Xingdu, Li Jian and Luo Siyuan to hide inside. There is also a reinforced concrete base under the stone statues, which is more than enough to accommodate marshmallows. The spiritual eagle is most at ease, standing on a branch and rising freely with the branch.
Li Jian and Luo Siyuan hugged a hero's arm tightly, and finally had time to breathe heavily.
When the few people who ran over with them saw the group of stone statues, their eyes lit up and they stumbled towards them.
Luo Siyuan kept waving at them, encouraging them, "Quick, quick!" A total of five people, two women and three men, ran up to the base and looked at the rapidly growing trees in shock.
The branches are layered on top of each other, and the light is getting darker and darker.
The sounds of tall buildings collapsing, human screams, birds chirping, and beasts roaring could be heard in the distance, making the forest even more gloomy.
Several mushrooms that were as big as a thumb gradually grew larger and taller in front of everyone's shocked eyes, until they were larger than a garden umbrella. They seemed to be finally satisfied and stopped growing.
"I, are we really still on earth?" Luo Siyuan shuddered.
Li Jian opened his mouth and forgot to close it.
All the trees around them were so thick that it took two or three people to hug each other. Luo Siyuan couldn't help but wonder, "It's really the trees and mushrooms that have grown bigger, rather than us getting smaller?" The audience in the live broadcast room was already stunned, couldn't come back to his senses for a long while. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have suspected that it was the anchor who had made them smaller!
Zhen Shuai looked at his normal backpack and said, "No." The group was stunned for a while. The shaking on the ground stopped, and the trees and weeds stopped growing wildly. Just as they were about to breathe a sigh of relief, a large red spark flew over!
"Run!" Luo Siyuan shouted.
Shen Xingdu picked up Commander Zhen and ran away.
Others were not as fast and watched helplessly as some red sparks landed on them.
Luo Siyuan screamed: "Ah - so hot - so hot -"
Zhen Shuai looked back and saw that several strangers, like those before, had their bodies flushed and vomited blood and died. Luo Siyuan and Li Jian both fell to the ground, rolling in pain.
Commander Zhen and Governor Shen Xing ran back again.
Luo Siyuan and Li Jian had lost consciousness. They were just struggling based on instinct. They rolled for about two minutes and fainted. They seemed to be doing slightly better, not vomiting blood like the others.
The red sparks drifted away leisurely.
Supervisor Shen Xing checked their breathing and said, "There is still energy."
Zhen Shuai picked up Luo Siyuan's wrist and felt his pulse. He was a little surprised, and then he felt Li Jian's pulse again.
"It seems like something is transforming their bodies."
The audience was refreshed. Um? Is this another world with supernatural powers?
Zhen Shuai continued: "It should be related to those red sparks. People with poor constitutions couldn't bear it, and the transformation failed, so they died."
Shen Xingdu looked at the trees.
Zhen Shuai followed his gaze and said, "These flowers, plants and trees should all be in similar condition."
A bird larger than a chicken or duck flew straight over, its buzzing sound deafening.
Zhen Shuai swung his dagger and cut it into two pieces, and the body fell to the ground with a clatter. Only then did he see that it was a bee, and his expression became stern.
"Animals have also mutated! Governor Xing, we have to leave the forest quickly, otherwise we will be in trouble." Governor Shen
nodded, took out a small spray bottle and sprayed it twice on Luo Siyuan and Li Jian to ensure that they were in a short time Unable to wake up, he looked around and saw no one around, and threw the two of them into fairyland.
Zhen Shuai once again identified the direction of Yonghu Building through the live broadcast system, and the two left quickly.
When they were about to walk out of the forest, Shen Xingdu took Luo Siyuan and Li Jian out, and he and Zhen Shuai each carried one on their shoulders.
There are also many trees around the Yonghu Building, but it has survived once again. It is surrounded by tall and dense trees from the waist down. From a distance, it looks like a tall and strong woman wearing a green skirt.
The small square at the entrance of the building was filled with corpses, and there was blood around the collar, which made Zhen Shuai pause.
The corridors inside the building are full of people, all of them are still conscious people taking care of the unconscious people. Zhen Shuai estimated that these unconscious people were "invaded" by red Mars.
Seeing Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu carrying two unconscious people, people just glanced at them and looked away.
Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu carried the person to the staff dormitory.
There was a lot of noise in the staff dormitory. It turned out that two male colleagues were also unconscious.
Zhen Shuai didn't know which room Luo Siyuan and Li Jian lived in. After asking a colleague, he sent them back to their room, gave the colleague two boxes of biscuits, and asked him to take care of them.
The colleague readily agreed.
Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu planned to go to the forest to find out the situation. It was much more convenient for them to act alone.
Marshmallow and Linger followed closely.
The asphalt and concrete floors in the city cannot completely prevent the invasion of tree roots, and the boundaries between the forest and the city are blurred.
They observed for a while and walked into the forest without seeing those red sparks.
Looking at the umbrella-like cluster of mushrooms above his head, Zhen Shuai licked his lips and said, "Xiaosi, are these mushrooms edible? I don't know how they taste." Audience: "..." 004 said: "These need to be verified by the host
.
."
Zhen Shuai was very dissatisfied with his answer, wrinkled his nose, and suddenly made a new discovery.
"Xingdu, look, why are some mushrooms smooth and smooth, but others have little red dots on them?"
Marshmallow and Ling'er picked up a mushroom curiously.
Shen Xingdu didn't know why, but he was very careful and walked to the foot of a peach tree not far away. There are peaches bigger than more than ten kilograms of watermelon hanging on the peach tree. They are ripe and their pink color is very attractive. Some of these peaches also have bright red dots on them.
"Shuai Shuai, don't touch those with red dots."
"Oh." Zhen Shuai looked around and explained to the audience, "Let's wait and see if any animals will eat these peaches with red dots and Mushrooms."
The audience thought this was a good idea.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, several peaches exploded like bombs.
"Puff, puff, puff!"
The audience was caught off guard, their hearts pounding in fear.
Zhen Shuai's little heart also jumped suddenly, he hugged Shen Xingdu's shoulders and backed away hastily.
Marshmallow and Ling'er are so smart, they can run away in just a few leaps.
The exploding peach flesh shot out onto the surrounding leaves, tree trunks and the ground, leaving a large trace that looked like it had been corroded by sulfuric acid.
"Oh my god!" Zhen Shuai patted his chest. Who would have thought that fruit could explode? He then thought of the information given by the system: gene explosion. Is this what “gene explosion” means?
After waiting for a while and no other movement, he and Shen Xingdu returned to the peach tree and found that the peaches with red dots they had seen before were gone, so they were sure that those peaches had just exploded.
Remembering that some mushrooms also had red dots on them, they walked away again and looked at the mushrooms from a distance.
After a while, those mushrooms also exploded!
Zhen Shuai always felt that he and Shen Xingdu had been surrounded by countless "bombs", so he decided to leave the forest first.
"Xiao Si, what are those red sparks floating out from the bottom of the abyss? You can always tell me, right?" 004 answered this time, "It is a virus from the center of the earth that will destroy the genes of all living things. It will cause
an impact. Tough creatures will become stronger when invaded by viruses. The most obvious manifestation is that they become larger in size. Weak creatures will become genetically disordered when invaded by viruses and eventually explode. This is called a "gene explosion." "Is it possible? Will humans
become larger after surviving the invasion of viruses?" Zhen Shuai asked again. He couldn't imagine what it would be like if Li Jian and Luo Siyuan became giants.
004 said: "No, human genes are special."
It only said this. Zhen Shuai knew that it didn't intend to say more, so he stopped asking more questions, but he was curious about what would happen if humans survived the virus. What changes will happen? Will it have special powers as the audience guessed?
Back at the mall, they first went to the security department to find Manager Sun.
Manager Sun saw them and waved quickly, "Come with me to the twelfth floor quickly. Let's go to the twelfth floor to get food!"
Zhen Shuai asked curiously: "Manager Sun, why are we distributing food on the twelfth floor? In the canteen below Isn't it more convenient to eat in Lifa?"
Manager Sun looked at him meaningfully, "These foods are only distributed to our mall employees. The canteen has long been occupied by others."
Zhen Shuai understood. The supplies below could not be snatched back, so the boss simply gave up. When the supplies below were used up, it was time for them to take back the initiative.
Climbing the stairs to the twelfth floor, Manager Sun took Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu to the big boss's office.
The big boss’s surname is Jiang, Jiang Shaohui, and he is only twenty-eight years old this year. It is said that he took over Yonghu Mall from his father two years ago. In just two years, Yonghu Mall developed into a benchmark mall in Yonghu City under his hands. Jiang Shaohui can be said to be truly young and promising.
His office is very large, and there are already many people queuing up inside. In addition to employees, there are also some new faces who are family members of employees.
Manager Sun led Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu directly to the big boss's desk.
"Boss, these two are Xiao Zhen and Xiao Shen from our security department."
Jiang Shaohui nodded and smiled at Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu, and said to Manager Sun: "Okay, Manager Sun, take them to the side to drink tea first, and wait. Let me have a good chat with them."
