Survival [End Times]

Therefore, the insect repellent and anti-insect products on the market are now very popular. Yu Heng also went to wholesale a box of insecticide and sprayed a little outside the window from time to time. But within four or five days, the smell of insect repellent and exterminator was everywhere. During this period, Yu Heng's classmates contacted him and said that the flower was a newly emerged species, and because of its strange biological chain with those little mice, it attracted the attention of many biological experts. He specially sent a red envelope to Yu Heng, saying it was a material reward.

During lunch break that day, Yu Heng saw a group of colleagues gathered in front of the computer, and he also came over. It turned out to be a video, and what was shown in it was the cluster of flowers.

"Ouch! Do you really eat mice?"

"It is said to be a new species. It has a mysterious symbiotic relationship with this kind of mice. The fragrance of these flowers attracts mice during the breeding period. If the mice eat it, the reproduction rate will increase. In turn, the flowers will eat the mice, which can shorten the growth time. !”

"What kind of mouse is this? Is it too small?"

"It's said in the news that it's also a new species! Why are there so many new species..."

Yu Heng was also thinking, why are there so many new species?

The world is changing every second, in subtle and remote corners... people who are in a hurry don't notice it, and even if they see it, they don't take it to heart, while those who care, their research speed can't keep up with the changes at all. speed.

A week later, Yu's father and Yu's mother fully recovered. The couple began to exercise together. Yu Heng had also returned to work for five days and was busy with a pile of invoices. The family lived a fulfilling life every day and slept deeply at night.

That day, Yu Heng was woken up by the heat again in his sleep. When he got up, he saw that there was a power outage. He went to see his parents. His father and mother were also awakened by the heat and were not in good spirits. So he quickly took out a fan and fanned them, "Go and wash your faces, parents."

It was too hot to sleep, and when I looked at the time, it was only after three o'clock at night. The family ran to the living room and laid out a mat, fanning themselves in the wind and squinting their eyes until it got slightly brighter.

"Go and brush your teeth and go to work." Yu's father pushed Yu Heng to wake up, "It's five o'clock."

As soon as Yu Heng opened the door, he felt that the smell of the air was very different. How can I put it this time? It has been very smoky and smells of pesticides everywhere, but now the air is very fresh, even with the fragrance of plants, which makes it very comfortable to smell it. He was walking in the corridor. It was still dark at six o'clock, and the corridor was a little dark. He felt the ground was slippery when he stepped on it, so he took out his mobile phone and turned on the flashlight. He was shocked to see that the steps were covered with green moss. When I walked outside, my mouth even grew bigger.

There are several towering trees standing at the door, their intertwined roots protruding from the ground at different heights. Many other plants with unrecognizable names are mixed in. In the meantime, unknown small animals are jumping around, with several flapping wings. At the sound, a snow-white bird flew out from a high place. Its wings were spread two meters long. It fluttered to the ground a few times and picked up a piece of grass before flying into the sky.

Yu Heng was stunned for a while before taking a few steps forward and picking up a feather that the bird had dropped from the ground. The feather was bigger than his palm, hard, and the feather was like an iron cone.

He walked out and quickly followed his memory to find the gate of the community. The gate was completely blocked. The big tree of Class 3 was crowded in the door, and the wall was deformed. He finally climbed up the wall and sat on the wall to look. Outside, there were endless trees and vines that could not be seen. Familiar buildings were disappearing, and some were even completely crowded. The buildings were scattered all over the place, and the cement and steel bars collapsed. land.

"Am I still dreaming?" His hand clenched unconsciously, and then he felt a sharp pain. It turned out that the feather pricked his hand. Yu Heng dialed the number to call home, but there was no signal at all. He turned and ran home. After a short walk, his trouser legs were wet with morning dew, and there was an unknown plant landslide. He knocked hard, and Father Yu opened the door, surprised: "Why are you home? What information did you forget to take? You If you don’t bring the key, why..."

"Dad!" Yu Heng looked frightened, "Look outside, look outside..."

"Is there anything good to see outside...this-" Father Yu looked at the scene outside the balcony and was dumbfounded.

Suddenly there was a scream outside, like a switch. It was silent all night. No one noticed such a earth-shaking change. Human beings seemed to have woken up.

Yu's mother was still sleeping, and Yu Heng and Yu's father were playing with the TV, computer, mobile phone and radio, but they couldn't use them at all. It was as if the magnetic field had completely changed overnight.

"I think we were invaded overnight." Cui Nan also came over, with a heavy face, "No, it should be said that there were warnings. There have been too many strange things recently, but the world is so big, and there are many unsolved problems. There are so many mysteries, what do these things mean?”

I just didn’t expect that things would change overnight! Has the earth been invaded by virgin forests?

"I'll go to the gate of the county government to check the situation." Father Yu said that the county government is not far away. It usually only takes five minutes to drive there. Now the road conditions make it impossible to drive, and it takes half an hour to walk. Father Yu's mentality is in line with the current public mentality. If there is anything to do, go to the government.

Cui Nan shook his head: "Uncle, we don't know what's going on outside, the animals and plants... we don't know anything about it. If it's a forest, it must not be harmless. The county government is too far away, so don't go."

"Yes, they may not have gone to work yet." Yu Heng also objected.

Cui Nan smiled helplessly. Who would go to work now?

"Uncle, if you believe me, Yu Heng and I will go outside and bring some food back now. It's still early. When everyone reacts, there will definitely be chaos. We must have some life-saving food first."

Father Yu was also very confused, but he also knew that Cui Nan was right. People need to eat whole grains, food is a necessity.

"...Go and be safe."

Soon Yu Heng changed into sportswear, the same clothes he wore when he was in school, and carried a backpack half as tall as a person. Cui Nan was careful and tied up his cuffs and trousers. Yu Heng saw it and imitated it quickly.

"Bring the kitchen knife." Cui Nan said.

"Dad, close the doors and windows and wait for us to come back."

"Hey! Come back soon!"

At seven o'clock in the morning, the two went out.

The concrete floor was pushed open, and it was difficult to move around in the grass that was half a person's height, and there were flying insects flying among the grass. Fortunately, both of them had tightened their trouser legs, but it was painful to have these flying insects staring at their faces. Cui Nan took out insect repellent and sprayed it twice, and the insects stopped approaching them.

Many buildings collapsed. The two passed by the building that Yu Heng had seen in the morning and saw something that looked like a goat emerging from the collapsed wall with an arm in its mouth, and then lowered its head to gnaw there.

"Come." Cui Nan pulled Yu Heng and hid behind a tree. After waiting for five minutes, the goat barked and slowly jumped into the shadow of the tree. Yu Heng was a little absent-minded and almost sprained his foot.

"Concentrate!" Cui Nan took his hand and pinched it hard. Yu Heng came back to his senses instantly.

I arrived at the nearest 24-hour store smoothly. The glass door opened with a slight push. It was a mess inside and no one was there. The two of them swept away all the Snickers chocolate instant noodles, biscuits and other snacks left on the counter. Each of them packed more than twenty boxes of milk, and each took a dozen bottles of mineral water, which increased the weight of the backpack. . Frozen items such as sandwiches, lunch boxes, and yogurt were already spoiled. The door to the warehouse was open, but it was empty inside. If someone didn't come earlier than them, the clerk took the stuff away.

"Take your things back first."

Yu Heng: "Okay."

The two of them walked back against the wall when suddenly someone above them whispered: "Hey!"

Cui Nan raised his head warily. A young man's head poked out a little, and his eyes lit up when he saw their backpacks: "Can you sell me some food? I'll give you money. I want yogurt instead of mineral water, and I want steamed buns instead of bread." ―Hey, don’t go!”

Yu Heng rarely cursed "crazy" and took the initiative to pull Cui Nan away.

There was sudden movement in the air. As soon as Yu Heng raised his head, his backpack was caught. It turned out that a series of monkeys swung over, and the leader grabbed Yu Heng's backpack. Cui Nan quickly grabbed Yu Heng's waist and almost pulled him down.

"The monkey is too strong, drop the backpack!"

Yu Heng didn't think about it. This was a bag full of food. How could there be enough food for his family of three? He gritted his teeth and tried to take out the kitchen knife, but he couldn't reach it. He touched his pocket again and took out the hard feather he picked up in the morning. He grabbed the feather and scratched the arm on his shoulder hard.

"Zhizhizhi!" The monkey screamed and let go of his hand.

Yu Heng and Cui Nan rolled on the ground several times and stopped only after hitting a tree.

"squeak!"

"Squeak!!"

The monkeys jumped down and squeaked around the two of them. The first one jumped angrily with his hands in his hands.

"Don't come over here. Don't blame me if your hands and feet are broken if you go down here." Yu Heng took out the kitchen knife and waved it forward. Perhaps realizing that this person was not easy to mess with, the mischievous monkeys screamed for a while, jumped up the tree one after another and disappeared.

"Cui Nan, are you okay?"

Cui Nan shook his head with a pale face. Yu Heng thought he had been hit hard. After all, he was the tree that blocked the tree just now. He felt more and more guilty, so he carefully went to help him.

"Don't touch me, give me the knife."

Cui Nan took the knife, unbuttoned his trouser legs and pulled them up, revealing two teeth marks on his calf. The wound was black, purple and swollen.

"This - you were bitten by a snake?!"

"Yes." Compared to Yu Heng's panic, Cui Nan calmly drew a strip from his clothes and tied it to the upper end of the wound. Then he made a cross on the wound with a knife and squeezed out the black and red blood. His face turned pale again.

"Let's go home first, and I'll take you to the hospital!" Yu Heng knew that Cui Nan was doing emergency treatment, and also knew that he couldn't exercise, otherwise the venom would flow to his body faster.

But Cui Nan felt that the blood all over his body was burning and rolling like lava. He began to lose consciousness and his eyes turned gray. He saw the snake that bit him, its body covered in scarlet red, disappearing into the grass in a flash. How poisonous... he thought, and then passed out.

Yu Heng stuffed a backpack into the grass and rushed home with Cui Nan in his arms.

His strength had never been so strong, as if there was no weight pressure or fatigue, he carried him back to the gate of the community in one go. Looking at the blocked door, he remembered that the car couldn't be driven out. Turning around and looking around, the road looked like a forest path, lush and green, with mountains of swords and trees.

He burst into tears.

The sky was completely bright, the sun was like fire, and the tall trees blocked it. Yu Heng didn't see the sun that seemed so close in the sky. Even if he saw it, he was not in the mood to care. He wiped his face, tied Cui Nan to his back, threw the only backpack into the wall with force, grabbed the branches and vines, and finally climbed up.
