Age of Behemoths

Shen Yifei walked over a manhole cover, his footsteps paused, because he seemed to hear something strange under his feet.But thinking about it, most likely it was the water flow in the sewer, or methane gas, and he couldn't go down to check, so he just paused for a while and left again.

Just as his footsteps passed by, a few bugs—it was only when they got out that they could be seen clearly. They turned out to be a few terrifyingly large mosquitoes...

Underground, in the filth of the sewers, there is a loud humming, and these noises are naturally the mosquitoes that live in such a filthy place.They advance along the water network under the city, and some will branch out at every fork, and drill out of various holes, entering the human world!

Those two girls talking and laughing today saw the handsome guy and the handsome cat and gained a lot, but they just heard the buzzing sound and subconsciously slapped themselves.

"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

"Finally killed..." Feeling something in his hand, one of the girls stopped.

"Oh! Why such a big mosquito!" The other girl screamed, and the dead mosquitoes were so fragmented that they almost stuck to the other girl's palm.

"It's so disgusting!" The girl who hit the mosquito probably didn't expect it, she was covered in goosebumps and hurriedly wiped off the mosquito with a tissue.

"Nothing feels right now," the two girls muttered, no smiles on their faces.

Shen Yifei didn't know what happened behind him, he was pushing open the door of the community clinic.He no longer needed to press the mineral water bottle on his head, but there were still some water stains running down his forehead.

Usually, there are always some people in the clinic who are hung up with water for infusion. Compared with the hospital, such a small clinic is much cheaper, and it is much more convenient because it is at the door of the house.But today, Shen Yifei who just entered the door is the only patient here.Besides him, there is only one old Chinese doctor sitting in the clinic, and another middle-aged nurse sitting behind the cashier.

The old Chinese doctor, surnamed Song, was hired after retiring from a big hospital, and the cost is five thousand a month——Shen Yifei downstairs, the old lady Zhang with a loud voice said so while chatting with other old ladies.Shen Yifei upstairs couldn't have heard it. As for the middle-aged nurse who looked very kind, those aunts hadn't talked about it.

When Shen Yifei came in, the old Chinese doctor was drinking tea leisurely.The aroma of the tea slightly filtered out the smell of the disinfectant in the clinic, which made people feel much calmer in the hot summer.The middle-aged nurse knits a sweater in the summer, but it is not an adult's, the size looks like it is for a child.

Except for the sound of the TV, the whole clinic is very quiet, a kind of calm that is rarely seen in the "now" days...

"Young man, what's the matter?" The old Chinese doctor put down his teacup, and greeted Shen Yifei with a smile.

"I have a fever and a headache...Doctor, do you want to register?" Shen Yifei only went to a relatively large hospital with his father. After his father passed away, this was the first time he got sick and the first time he Go back to the clinic that looks a bit like a convenience store—but the shelves are full of medicines, and there is room for infusions.

This place is simple, but Shen Yifei didn't want to go to the hospital, because recently, I heard that there were many inexplicable and strange diseases in the hospital, and I also heard that if people go in, especially if they have a cold and a fever, they should be quarantined directly and don't want to come out.Although the aunt downstairs spoke exaggeratedly, Shen Yifei felt that he had better be careful, after all, the whole environment is not right now.

"No, no need." The old Chinese doctor smiled and waved to Shen Yifei, "Come here, just sit down."

"Thank you, doctor." Shen Yifei sat down opposite the old Chinese doctor, and just put his hand on a small pillow that the old doctor took out, when the old nurse sighed: "Alas... a crime..."

Shen Yifei looked up suspiciously, only to realize that it was the middle-aged nurse talking to herself while watching the news on TV.

Those news, in fact, are no longer news. Even if the words and arrangements are different, the ones broadcast on the above are all repeating roughly the same news, those...reports about the Yellowstone Volcano.

A few months ago, Shen Yifei, like most people, had only heard of the Yellowstone National Park in the United States, and the scenery inside was very beautiful.But he didn't know that this park was built on a huge volcano, and it was a super active volcano covering an area of ​​more than 60 square kilometers-yes, this is the area of ​​a single volcano, and Not volcanoes.The active cycle of this active volcano is about [-] years.

60 years sounds like a long time beyond imagination. About 60 years ago, people were still in the Stone Age. Even in modern times with advanced technology, a person's life span is less than 100 years.Therefore, many humans do not realize that 64 years have passed since the last active period of the Yellowstone volcano.

This means that it may have to wait tens of thousands of years before waking up, but it may also... the next second it will start to erupt a huge fireworks that will reshuffle the earth!

This kind of reshuffle does not only refer to the human world, such as changes in national boundaries or national power, no, by that time, disasters will be aimed at all existing species, from swans to mice!From ants to whales!Even if no one wants to become the most unlucky generation, they have to face changes in the world's climate, terrain and air, and may even rejoin the fair competition of the weak and the strong from the primate of all things.After all, the current human civilization, which seems to be prosperous, is actually built on sand.

More than three years ago, the Yellowstone volcano began to erupt on a very small scale.At that time, there was only a small upwelling of magma, and it was not frequent at all, so only some scientists from the United States went to investigate.But the intermittent small-scale eruptions began to become more frequent and stronger more than a year ago.Only then did scientists make an appeal, but no one realized the seriousness of the problem.

Until five months ago... with a bang!The power of nature is undoubtedly revealed!

This neglected volcano proved its existence to the world. In fact, it was not a large-scale eruption at all, but only a medium-scale eruption, but with the large size of the Yellowstone volcano, medium-scale is already a huge disaster.

The lava that erupted violently from the depths of the ground rolled on the ground like a huge wave after a tsunami, carrying crimson heat, flooding two-thirds of Wyoming in just a few days.The volcanic ash spewed out along with the lava spread through the atmosphere at an even faster rate, covering two-thirds of the United States, and turning day into night.That was simply the end of the world described in the Bible, and the disaster is still spreading today.

Human beings are powerless to stop, this is the earth's anger.

And such a disaster, even China on the other side of the earth, has also been affected.

Even though the volcanic ash hadn't crossed the ocean at that time, the dramatic temperature changes across a continent affected the weather around the world.The same drastic change is the human heart.

The shadow of the end of the world hangs over everyone's head, and countless people commit suicide overnight.Human bodies falling from the sky while walking on the street can turn even the most optimistic person into panic and despair.There are also those religious groups, panicked people seek help from all kinds of gods in order to prevent the end of the world.All kinds of violent incidents also spread across the country in an instant. Armed police and even the army from all over the country had to patrol the streets in full armor, and curfews were imposed in many cities.This is countering violence with violence, but only in this way can the most basic order of society be maintained at this time.

Today, although nearly half a year has passed.That is to say, the destruction under the extreme panic has become less, and most of the residents on the surface have returned to calm, but that is still only the surface, and the fear is still in people's hearts, because the sword of the end of the world is still hanging above the head——Although the Yellowstone Volcano has not It got worse, but it never got better.The lava is still expanding outward, and the two states of the United States now only exist on the map, and the traces of human beings have been obliterated from that land.

Volcanic ash is gradually covering the whole world. Even the sky over Huaxia cannot lack their existence. It's just that the people living in Huaxia cannot see it with naked eyes for the time being.The climate change is more obvious, and the extreme heat outside is one of them.

Every day may be the last day of life, and human beings still maintain their dominant position at this stage.

On the TV at the moment, experts and professors from home and abroad took turns to take the stage.Pointing to satellite pictures, weather maps or other various information, speaking terms that most ordinary people can't understand at all, telling everyone to keep calm, saying that the volcanic activity has gradually stabilized, and the disaster will not expand further, etc. Wait, in short, it is trying to appease people's hearts.

"The other hand." Shen Yifei was a little distracted watching TV, and he didn't react until the old Chinese doctor called out, and quickly put the other hand on the pillow.

"Young man is in good health." After feeling the pulse in both hands, the old Chinese doctor nodded cheerfully, "The fever and headache are probably caused by your thirst for cold at night and blowing your head."

Hearing what the old Chinese doctor said, Shen Yifei was relieved, and a little embarrassed: "Well, I have been blowing on the electric fan all night."

"The weather is hot, but it can't be like this." The old Chinese doctor nodded, "I'll prescribe some medicine for you, you can take a tablet at home and sleep well. By the way, take some Huoxiangzhengqi water, it's unpalatable, But it’s the best way to cool off in this hot weather. The young man doesn’t have an air conditioner at home.”

"Thank you doctor." Shen Yifei stood up, "Your consultation fee..."

"It's just a pulse test." The old Chinese doctor raised his face and waved his hands. "If you keep talking too much, young man, I'll kick you out with a broom! Go get the medicine! Go home and rest after taking the medicine!"
