messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 109 The fourth day of panic

Under a building on the commercial street, a police car was parked on the side of the road, and a middle-aged police officer was smoking a cigarette by the side of the car.While smoking, he looked up at the screen on the building in a daze.

In the past two days, even the screens of the buildings in the commercial street have been replaced with observation broadcasts of asteroids. This is the largest asteroid discovered so far close to the earth. Just such a gimmick is enough to attract astronomy enthusiasts from all over the world. Central City.

It was also because of this that the police in Central City were also extremely busy during this period, and just maintaining law and order had already made them burnt out.The only time to rest is to lean on the side of the road and smoke a cigarette like now.

"Huh." The middle-aged police officer spit out the smoke from his mouth and squinted his eyes comfortably. The feeling of taking a break from a busy schedule is always addictive, which is probably why so many people like to fish at work.

Leaning on his police car, he raised his hat so that he could see the asteroid on the building's screen.

It's just a star, and I don't know what they are excited about.

The middle-aged police officer obviously couldn't understand the enthusiasm of those astronomy observers from all over the world. After all, he was no longer young, and he was no longer the age to pursue hobbies and ideals.

He only knew that because of this star, he couldn't sleep well for three whole nights and had to smoke a cigarette to refresh himself.

Glancing at the cigarette in his hand, the middle-aged police officer looked helpless.

Obviously, she had just promised her daughter that she would quit, but now she has started smoking again within a week.

Forget it, he shrugged his shoulders, and continued to put the cigarette in his mouth, just one, it won't be a big problem.

"Beep, beep..."

Just when the middle-aged police officer was about to finish his cigarette, the walkie-talkie on his shoulder rang at the right time.

He paused with his hands, and pulled the corners of his mouth with a slightly ugly face. It seemed that his rare lunch break could only end here.

He didn't need to think that every time this thing rang, nothing good would happen.

Taking off the walkie-talkie on his shoulder, the middle-aged man tilted his head and said into it in a not-so-good tone.

"This is 3C36, what's the matter?"

"Received a report that there is a homeless little girl in the park of the urban community. She is not very old and has been there for several days. Please go and see it."

Little wandering girl, do young people these days like this? They call wandering romantic and free.

The middle-aged police officer sighed helplessly and said into the walkie-talkie.

"I understand, let's go right away."

As he spoke, he put the walkie-talkie back on his shoulder, shook his head, stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and threw it into the trash can on the side of the road, opened the door of the police car and sat in.

The police car started and drove off the street with a little smoke.

On the trash can on the side of the road, the cigarettes that had not been completely extinguished were wafting smoke, and the asteroids on the screen of the building became slightly larger.

······
The first time the middle-aged police officer arrived at the community park in the city, he noticed the puppy and the girl sitting on the side of the road.

It was also the first time he dispelled his previous judgment. The girl in front of him didn't look like a young man who pursued freedom and romance.

Although she is also very young, about the same age as his daughter, in her teens and 20s.But unlike the young man, she looked lifeless.

It was indeed lifeless, with no expression on his face, and his eyes were staring at the ground blankly.He was wearing a tattered black overcoat (black robe), but it was not messy.

trouble.

This would be a very troublesome matter. Based on years of experience, the middle-aged police officer immediately made this judgment. If he was unlucky, a big case might be involved.To be honest, he doesn't like to take care of this kind of trouble, but there is no way to do it now.

Sitting in the seat of the police car, the middle-aged police officer tapped the steering wheel twice, frowning and thinking for a while.

In short, let's find a way to take her back to the police station. It's not a good idea to stay here all the time.

With that in mind, he opened the car door and walked out.

In the park, Chu Zheng was sitting, waiting for the so-called disaster to appear. She was very good at waiting, especially this kind of waiting without moving. When she was in the Apostle Wasteland, she often sat for several months at a time.

And for her theoretically endless life, a few days is just a blink of an eye.

"This is a public place. In theory, you have no right to occupy it." A voice said from behind her.

Chu looked back and saw a middle-aged policeman.

"Can't I stay here?" Chu looked at the policeman and asked.

"No, it's not so much that you can't stay here, it's better to say why are you here?" The policeman came to Chu's side and squatted down.

"Don't you have a home?"

"No." Chu answered truthfully, without any major fluctuations in his tone, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing.

The small park in the afternoon was still quite quiet. The policeman squatted beside Chu and raised his eyebrows. He didn't know why, he almost guessed that Chu would answer like this.If you have a family, why would you stay here?

But undoubtedly, this made things more troublesome.

The police officer rubbed his eyebrows, he wanted to smoke a cigarette, every time he encountered trouble, he would want to smoke one, but it was obviously not suitable now.

"Then do you remember where you came from?"

As a routine matter, he had to at least ascertain the origin of Chu first.

It's a pity that Chu was just an unidentified black household, and it was naturally impossible to tell the police about the existence of the Apostle Wasteland.

After a moment of silence, Chu gave a very vague answer.

"A place far away."

The police obviously couldn't accept such a statement, but for now, Chu hadn't violated the law, so Chu didn't want to tell him, and he couldn't do anything about it.

He had no choice but to continue to ask: "Then do you know the way back?"

"Yeah." Chu nodded: "After finishing what I want to do, I will go back."

But Chu Chu still didn't say what she was going to do.

It's a headache for the police, so it's this kind of young girl that he's the worst at dealing with, just like he's not good at dealing with his daughter.

However, he didn't know that the "young girl" in front of him was not as young as he imagined.

······
Regardless of the police's questioning of Chu in the park, another major event happened in Central City at this time.

At noon, when people were preparing to have lunch and turn on their mobile phones to browse some webpages, almost at the same time, an urgent notice popped up on all the webpages.

And the TV, computer and Internet video also began to be quickly rebroadcasted.

This information spreads exceptionally fast because it is horrifying.

"The asteroid is about to hit the earth."

On the fourth day before disaster struck, panic set in.
