Why did the night bus stop halfway, who got on the bus and who got into a fight with whom, Xin Yitong didn't pay attention at all, she was thinking about many things, or maybe she was thinking about nothing but just letting go.

After arriving in the city center of Saikou, Bian Yuan arranged the whole process. Instead of going to stay in the only four-star hotel in the city, they checked in quickly. They didn't even get two rooms, and they slept together.Bian Yuan seemed to want to explain, but Xin Yitong didn't have the strength to listen: "One room is one room, it's safe."

She is tired and doesn't want to think anymore.

Bian Yuan didn't bother her anymore.

Even so, Xin Yitong didn't sleep all night.

In this dirty and cheap room, all she could smell was a strange smell, all she could see was panic, and all that filled her mind was the loss of what to do under the drastic changes in her life.

This helplessness has been brought back to the city by her. She rarely asks for leave, and she asks for a two-week leave, which Bian Yuan approves.

Because of Xin Yitong's leave, Yu Chen even came to find Bian Yuan: "What's the matter, isn't it because he's leaving the job? Looking for another job?"

Bian Yuan shook her head: "No."

"affim?"

"Yeah." Bian Yuan thought for a while and said, "During the business trip, I got caught in the rain and got sick, so I need to take care of it."

"Get sick in the rain and recuperate for two weeks?"

Yu Chen knows Bian Yuan well, and when Bian Yuan talks nonsense, he will turn on the calm mode, calm and calm, and give him a pair of smiling dimples, in an attempt to get away with it.

"Is she made of paper? She fell in the rain? She's so weak." Yu Chen pointed at her, "I don't care what happened between you and her, I just want to see people. The whole company can't find the first person again." I think you know that the two have her planning ability, and you also understand what it means to lose her. What will happen to next year's sales if you don't get her back? You can figure it out."

Yu Chen's words were very serious. She has always been a person who distinguishes between public and private. Even when the two of them fell in love, they often scolded her because of work, but this time Bian Yuan didn't take it to heart at all. They are all perfunctory.

As soon as Yu Chen left, she minimized the dnr software on the computer, and a filled-in form appeared, which listed several major items, including clothing, weapons, water, food, medicine, means of transportation, assistive devices, and urban areas. Maps of major highway exits.She looked at the form and thought for a moment, then typed a row of words, thinking again, typing again, for fear of missing something.After finishing writing the form, she printed it out, and when the printer was spitting out paper, she opened the mailbox, wrote an email in the draft box, selected a row of recipients, did not send it, and saved it again.

Looking at the calendar on the table, Christmas is coming.

This fateful bloody Christmas.

Christmas is Xin Yitong's last day off.

During this period of time, she didn't go to the company or go anywhere. She just stayed at home and read books and watched movies alone.Usually the bookstall has not been turned over for more than an hour, and the movie plays automatically for the second time without even knowing who the main character is.

She lay in bed groggy every day but never really fell asleep, and was awakened immediately after entering a light sleep state.

Her mental state was very poor, she would always stare at the tooth cup in the bathroom in a daze, and even nervously opened the toilet tank to check every few minutes, for fear that there would be an extra ring suddenly.

The holiday is coming to an end, she decided to go out for a walk.It's been two weeks and nothing happened.Not going to the company and not seeing Bian Yuan seems to be far away from that nightmare.She didn't even dare to turn on the news channel, avoiding the rolling news about the air strike on the high-speed rail.It seemed that by isolating all these things that frightened her, she could continue to live her ordinary life.

Xin Yitong had a limited car number today, so she didn't drive, and took the bus she hadn't taken for a long time to Aetna Department Store.

This bus is a double-decker tour bus, with a 16-year-old birthday support advertisement printed on the body of a popular girl idol, which is gaudy.Xin Yitong took a look, got into the car, and came to the second floor alone.

The weather today is very abnormal. At the end of December, the city should have a low temperature of more than ten degrees below zero. A week ago, I heard a cold wave warning from the radio, saying that this year will be the coldest year in 12 years, and there has indeed been a period of heavy snowfall. , It was very cold for a few days, and the whole city almost turned into a freezing hell.But today, since she went out, she found that she was wearing the wrong clothes.The sun scorched the earth, and the thick snow in the whole city turned into water in the blink of an eye and disappeared without a trace. There was no wind, and the air was full of water vapor. The palms quickly became sticky, and pedestrians took off their hands one after another. coat, talking about the unnatural weather.

She was the only one on the open-air second floor of the double-decker sightseeing bus. She sat in the front row, with lush leaves passing over her head from time to time, making people feel like they had returned to the humid and warm late spring.She took out her mobile phone, and the weather forecast showed that the highest temperature today was 24 degrees.

The bus drove very slowly, and Xin Yitong was too comfortable in the warm sunshine, coupled with the insomnia during this period, she fell asleep unknowingly.

She was awakened by a bird.

The bird buzzed in her ears and stabbed her neck with a sharp stab.This stab was so painful that Xin Yitong almost cried out.Clutching her neck, she immediately jumped up from the chair and looked at this strange bird floating in front of her eyes. She was very familiar with it from its body shape to the sound it made, but for a moment she couldn't remember what kind of bird it was.The thin wings on the back of this strange bird vibrated at a high frequency, making a very uncomfortable humming sound.A pair of compound eyes on the left and right of the hemispherical head seems to be staring at her, but also seems to be looking elsewhere.The two antennae between the compound eyes are like three gradually tapering antennas, and there is a circle of short black hairs on the outer edge of each joint.The three pairs of slender legs are covered with clear scales, the scales are black or white interlaced with each other, a long tubular needle sticks out from under its compound eyes, the upper jaw is as wide as a sharp knife and the lower jaw is as thin as a serrated tooth. Cut open the fragile skin of a person and suck away the blood.

Seeing the needle-like mouth, Xin Yitong remembered that it was a mosquito.

That's right, this is definitely a mosquito, but it is more than twenty times larger than a normal mosquito, and its body shape is close to that of a bird, so that all the details of its body are magnified, making it terrifying and disgusting.

The palm-sized mosquito floated in the air for a moment like a ghost, and flew away without attacking again.Xin Yitong breathed a sigh of relief, and watched the giant mosquito shuttle through the lush green leaves before disappearing.Her neck was itchy, and a big bump swelled up when she touched it, and she scratched it a few times and the pain was unbearable.

The attack of the giant mosquito was so frightening that Xin Yitong didn't dare to sit on the second floor in the open air and went down to the first floor.During the whole process, her heart was beating extremely fast, her chest felt tight and nauseous, and her body swayed along with the car.Is there any virus injected into the body by mosquitoes?Will she be poisoned or even mutated?The swelling and pain on the neck gradually disappeared amidst the uneasiness, and the discomfort of rapid heartbeat and chest tightness also subsided.

She touched her forehead, sweating a lot, maybe it was a wrong decision to go out today...

When Antai Department Store arrived, she got out of the car with some weakness in her legs and saw the giant Christmas tree.

The silver Christmas tree at the entrance of Antai Department Store is very huge, covered with [-]D light tubes, it can be seen by passers-by at a glance no matter day or night.

"Wow, it's so beautiful, look at it, sister!" A little girl behind her shouted happily.

"See! Today is not only Christmas, but also Xiaoju's birthday. Have you decided what birthday present you want?"

Behind them, a pair of little sisters walked towards the mall holding hands.

"Can my sister treat me to McDonald's?"

"What kind of birthday present is this! My sister has something better for you, let's go!"

Full of expectations, Xiaoju walked past Xin Yitong with her younger sister and entered the mall.

The increasingly scorching sun came down from behind the Christmas tree, and the decorations on the tree refracted wildly, making Xin Yitong unable to open his eyes.The temperature seemed to be a few degrees higher than before.

She lowered her head and planned to walk into the mall at a faster pace, perhaps the mall has already opened the air-conditioning.Just as she was about to walk into the mall, the phone in her pocket vibrated suddenly.He took out his mobile phone and saw that the incoming call showed "dead kid".

Seeing these three words is really embarrassing. At the beginning, I saved Bian Yuan's mobile phone number in the mobile phone for the convenience of work. At that time, the two met each other and were fighting fiercely. I don't really want to see her name appear in my mobile phone, so I gave her such a black name, and now I suddenly see her, it's always a bit of a strange intimacy.

"Hello?"

Xin Yitong answered the phone slowly.

On Bian Yuan's side, she was short of breath, and it sounded like she was running: "Stay where you are, don't move! Don't go into the mall!"

Xin Yitong immediately looked around: "Are you here?"

Fearing that Xin Yitong would not listen to her, Bian Yuan shouted again: "Don't go in!"

Bian Yuan's tone was very urgent and serious, Xin Yitong became more and more nervous following her disordered breathing, and anxiously looked for her figure: "What's wrong with the mall, where are you, you..."

The sound of footsteps on the mobile phone and the sound of approaching behind him merged into the same frequency, and Xin Yitong was thrown down by Bian Yuan who flew over.The terrible sound of the collapse made the whole earth tremble, and countless stones flew towards Bian Yuan's back.When Xin Yitong landed on the ground, her arm was stretched. She gritted her teeth and endured the pain to prop up her upper body. Seeing that Bian Yuan could not stand up, a large piece of wall connected with steel bars was pressing down on them like a spider with its teeth and claws. Bian Yuan didn't notice it.Xin Yitong pulled Bian Yuan up and pushed her away.Bian Yuan was extremely agile, following the strength Xin Yitong gave her, she rolled on the ground and stood up immediately.The wall roared and slapped to the ground, at the very moment Xin Yitong turned over and dodged.

Bian Yuan's exclamation was stuck in her throat, but she was really relieved to see Xin Yitong saved the day.Bian Yuan's palm was cut, and her back was in a burning pain, but the appearance of the three-storey Antai Department Store being torn into ruins in an instant still attracted all her attention.

"What's going on? An earthquake?"

"Only Antai collapsed? This is not an earthquake, right? Everything else is fine."

"Someone is injured, call an ambulance! Are you all right?"

The people around gathered around, and Bian Yuan shouted fiercely: "Don't come over, all back!"

The crowd was stunned, and a short girl wearing a mask and a baseball cap stood at the front and said angrily: "What kind of attitude, I want to help you when you are injured, why are you so fierce? There is no reward for your kindness, and you were smashed to death and pulled down." !"

"Huh? Are you..." The two boys in their early twenties standing opposite the girl heard her voice and pointed at her in surprise and joy. Just as a name was about to be blurted out, a voice came from the collapsed shopping mall. There was a piercing scream.

"Did you hear that? Someone is calling."

"Yes, I heard that too, someone was trapped inside!"

A loud middle-aged man in a leather jacket with two rips pointed at the girl wearing a mask and said, "You, call the police! The rest come with me, go in and save people!"

Bian Yuan held him back: "You can't go! It's too dangerous!"

The man in leather pointed at her: "Of course it's dangerous! If it's not dangerous, I won't go! Let go, do you hear me? If you don't save people, you stop others from saving them. What's your intention?"

Bian Yuan was not in a hurry with him either, she reasoned: "The danger inside is beyond your imagination, you don't have professional skills let alone save people, the door is tightly blocked, how do you get in?"

This makes sense and cannot be refuted for a while.Being reprimanded by a young and beautiful woman in front of dozens of onlookers, the man in the leather jacket panicked with embarrassment, and his tone became even more fierce: "You can't save people, but I can! When my brother was a firefighter and saved eight lives by himself You're still drinking! Go away go away!"

Bian Yuan didn't let go: "Anyway, let's wait until the police rescue arrives."

The man in the leather jacket pushed her away forcefully: "Someone was buried in the bean curd project and it would be too late if they didn't save it! Didn't you hear the scream just now? You still count on the police? This group of people who eat nothing but waste taxpayers What else can you do with the money? You call the police now and the people will come tomorrow! I don’t know them yet!”

The girl wearing a mask stood sideways to them and stepped aside, avoiding the shouting of the man in the leather jacket and making a phone call: "...Yes, it is the Antai Department Store on Yan'an Road, comrades of the police, please come quickly!" I started to call 119, only to find out after calling [-]. Is the order of calling the police wrong?

The two boys followed: "Are you really Song Ying? Can you sign us? We all bought your new album! We even went to the handshake meeting!"

The girl glanced at them, and denied with some irritability: "No, no, when is this time, can't help and don't make trouble, okay? Besides chasing stars, what else can you do?"

The two boys were taught a lesson inexplicably, and looked at each other in blank dismay.

The man in the leather jacket struggled to break free from Bian Yuan, and shouted to the crowd: "Follow me if you save someone! If you stand by and watch, stay where you are and don't get in the way!" He took off his leather jacket and ran towards the shopping mall.

As expected, the entrance of the shopping mall was tightly blocked by the collapsed wall. The man in the leather jacket kicked it twice but failed to move it, and pushed it to no avail. It seemed that he had to move it with bare hands.

"You, you, and you!" He pointed to the three tallest and strongest men beside him and said, "Come and help, move all the stones away!"

Someone asked him: "Moving with bare hands?"

The man in the leather jacket was already hugging the stone, and was taken aback when he heard his question: "Of course not, find a lever."

The man in the leather coat was directing this and that, and the people present were also very enthusiastic, and they all listened to him and came to help.More and more people came to help, but anyone who passed by Antai Department Store would be terrified by the sight here. Hearing that people were buried inside, they complained that the rescue was too slow, and rolled up their sleeves to join the rescue team.

"What should we do?" Xin Yitong asked Bian Yuan.

"Let's go." Bian Yuan didn't intend to help at all.

"Is he really leaving like this?" Xin Yitong also felt that it was inappropriate to stand by and watch.

"Go, and go now." Bian Yuan said with a blank expression, "They will regret it soon."

The man in leather saw that Bian Yuan and the others were about to leave, so he took out his mobile phone and took a picture of them: "I'm going to die, right? I'll send it to you online..."

The phone started recording with a "beep", and there was a sharp itching on the back, as if something had bitten it hard.The man in the leather coat touched his back with an "ouch" and felt viscous liquid on his fingertips.

Who the hell is playing a prank at this time!

He opened his hand and saw that the dark red liquid on the fingertips smelled like rust. Is this blood?

Countless invisible bullets rushed out of the ruins, smashing the man in the leather jacket to pieces. Everyone backed away screaming, and the shopping mall collapsed towards the center again.

The silver-haired man who was poked blind in one eye was furious in the shopping mall of the cage of beasts, trying to smash everything into pieces.

This accident caused great chaos, Bian Yuan yelled "get down" to the crowd rushing back, and the sound of a police car came from a distance...
