Chapter 51 New World Part 02
An electric tricycle was parked at the intersection, and a courier boy in a blue uniform was checking the package on the car while making a phone call as usual.If no one answered the phone, he dialed the next person.

If it weren't for the pile of corpses not far from where the car was parked, you might think this scene was really normal.

"Hello, I'm here to get Shi Jing's courier." The voice that came out of his mouth seemed to be sleepwalking.

The courier brother glanced at the package, found her courier, and handed it to her.

Shi Jing held the boxy package in her arms, and kept looking at the courier. He looked so normal, but what is the so-called normal? Normal people in the normal world, and normal people in the abnormal world. It's not normal anymore.Maybe he's crazy.

In such a world, being crazy is an enviable thing.

"There are still a lot of couriers to deliver?" Shi Jing hasn't had a good chat with anyone for a long time.

The courier froze for a moment, then shook his head, "No way, the courier always has to deliver."

Shi Jing sighed, turned around and was about to go back, the courier suddenly coughed and asked, "Is there anyone you know who is still alive?"

She turned her head away, and it was hard to imagine that there were still things that surprised her: "I don't know, maybe they are all dead. I didn't hear anyone..."

The courier shrugged and continued to make unanswered calls.

"Aren't you afraid of dying?"

"Who is not afraid of death." He seemed to cough more frequently.

"But you are still delivering the courier?"

"Yeah, it's my job. A lot of people are dying from karoshi these days, and I feel like I'm going to end up dying that way too."

"Don't you see what's going on around you?"

The courier was silent for a while, "I think you are still a student. When you graduate and work, you will understand that as long as you wake up and go to work every day, everything will be normal."

Shi Jing opened her mouth and decided not to ask any more questions. She carried the package back home.

The sender was not written on the package, only a number 88#661 was written, and the delivery address seemed to be artificially obliterated. She opened the package and found a wooden box inside.

Originally, there was nothing to worry about in this situation, but she became nervous instinctively. She looked at the wooden box and found a name engraved on the lower right corner, "Shi Yu".

"Your father is dead."

Grandpa had told her so, but for a long time she couldn't believe it.

When she was six years old, her father's scientific expedition team went to the Taklamakan Desert known as the "Sea of ​​Death", and lost contact with the outside world after a few months.Another three years later, another scientific expedition team dispatched found the suspected remains of Dad's team somewhere in the desert.Officials announced the death and returned all the belongings to the family.

This is how it should have ended...

Maybe... it's just that someone found Dad's relics, maybe it was sent by the scientific research institution...

Shi Jing stared at the name, and for a moment the name seemed to change, turning into a twisted symbol, mixed with many names, Shangguanxu, Mimi, Gao Xiaoxiao, Zhang Xing, Xiaoni... Shi Jing rubbed her eyes and found that "Shi Yu" was still written on it. This scene made her a little strange, but what was even more strange was that she quickly forgot about it.

Shi Jing shook her head and opened the wooden box. Inside the box was a red book and a statue with a rabbit's head attached to a human body.

She quickly flipped through the book, which contained her father's scribbled handwriting and some drawings.Many of the things drawn on the drawings look like some kind of imaginary map or symbol.

"If there is no way, if there is still time, please call this number. My dear daughter, may the Rabbit God bless you."

If she hadn't liked to read the scientific research materials written by her father since she was a child, and she was very familiar with his handwriting, it would be hard for her to believe that it was written by her father. My father always believed in science. What made him lose his faith? What is it, a rabbit god?
Yeah, what's left to lose.

Shi Jing picked up the phone with only 20.00% battery left, and dialed the number on it.

A music ringtone came from the phone.She listened to the entire music ringtone, but no one answered.

Maybe all the people on the other side who can answer are dead.

The phone heard the final beep that the battery was exhausted, and then fell into darkness.

Shi Jing holds the statue and the red book, father, mother, grandpa... We will be reunited soon.

She vomited blood again, and her whole body fell to the side, leaving only infinite darkness in front of her eyes.

The surroundings were shaking, and she heard voices in a daze.Shi Jing found that she was not dead, she was in the back seat of a jeep when she woke up.The driver was wearing white full hazmat suits and heavy respirators.

who are they?Where do they want to take her?
Why would I be in this car all of a sudden?
She wanted to ask, but she was powerless, her body just lay limply on the back seat, she closed her eyes again, she didn't want to do anything, she didn't want to know, and she didn't want to move.

In a daze, she was carried out of the car, and all she could remember was that there was a desert around her... There was a long, long iron net... People in military uniform... People in protective clothing... They entered the elevator , began to scan, disinfect, and then entered a very long tunnel, her consciousness has been intermittent.

When she woke up again, she was already in a place similar to an intensive care unit. She was lying on a hospital bed wearing a ventilator and receiving fluids, and the monitor next to her displayed parameters that she could not understand.

She sat up, felt dizzy for a while, and lay down again.

After a while, two people in protective clothing walked in, seemingly copying the parameters on the monitor.

"There is no other way."

"The lung infection is so severe, and the virus is constantly mutating, I don't see any possibility..."

"She was only 16 years old, maybe it would be kinder to let her die like this."

"Don't be silly, it's not up to us to decide."

"In the world, how could there be such parents who want to donate their daughters to that place..."

"Shhh, stop talking." The tall female nurse in protective clothing covered the mouth of the sobbing companion, and nervously looked at the guard who was walking past the door.

She sighed, "Let's go, the person who will take over will arrive later."

The short female nurse stopped her, "Wait a minute, at least let me wipe her face." She took out a sterilized tissue and gently wiped away the blood on Shi Jing's face.

Shi Jing opened her eyes and looked at the nurse. She was startled but the tall nurse didn't notice it.

Shi Jing saw the sad eyes of the female nurse through the protective glasses, she stretched out her hand and gently pulled the sleeve of the female nurse, she really wanted to know what they meant, what her parents did to her, Who will take over her later?
