snow wolf ballad

"Wow, today's fog is really heavy." Pushing open the door of Xunxue Building, the damp air rushed in, and the front was so white that it felt like you couldn't see your fingers.Xueyue raised her eyes to look far away, with her great monster's eyesight, she couldn't see anything ten meters away.

"Yes, but Japan is foggy in Jiangnan in winter, and it's not surprising that the smog has been severe recently. It's just that in this kind of weather, I don't think you can see any good scenery when you go out to play." Lu Zhiyao said with some regret .

"Hey, there were too many firecrackers and fireworks yesterday, and there is still a smell of sulfur in the fog today, which makes it uncomfortable to inhale." Bai He beside him said suddenly.

"Aniang. Are we still going out?" Xiao Bing'er asked pitifully after hearing this.She had been locked up in Daixue Mansion for a long time, and she always wanted to go out to play.

"Ask your mother, let's go out if my mother tells you." Lu Zhiyao pushed the question to Xue Yang who had been silent behind him.

Xueyang pondered for a while, looking at the fog thoughtfully, and finally looked at the little Lolita who was pulling her pants and acting coquettishly, and said:

"Baihe, Heizi and us go out. Zipeng is leading the others to guard the Xunxuelou. We will walk around and come back soon." When she said us, she naturally meant the whole family including Xueyue. four.

Xueyang reached out and lifted the little guy up, let her ride on his neck, then embraced Lu Zhiyao with his right hand, and Xueyue with his left hand, Baihe and Heizi followed closely behind them, and went out like this.Looking at Xueyang's posture, it seems that he is ready to lead everyone away at any time.Looking at her always calm face, Lu Zhiyao had some inexplicable bad premonition in his heart.

Being able to ride on Xueyang's neck made the little guy excited. Xueyang is tall and tall, with a height of 1.9 meters. The scenery seen sitting on her shoulders should be so open, which is not something a child can have at all. height of view.But it's a pity that today the fog is thick, and although the little guy is sitting on the shoulders of his mother, he can't see anything, and he can't help being bored for a while.If I had known earlier, it would be better to stay in the Xunxue Building and never come out, it's not fun at all.

It was only after going out that Lu Zhiyao could truly feel the thick fog.She really couldn't see the scenery three steps away, and her eyes were full of whiteness, which made her feel something was wrong.The fog must have been too thick.

Go out from the main entrance of Xunxuelou, facing a secluded alley, walk along the alley to the left, and then turn a corner, you can see the small river flowing behind Xunxuelou, in the past, the awning boats on the river Coming and going, the stone bridge is bustling with people, a lively scene.But today it was quiet, as if there was no one there.

After walking a few more steps, Lu Zhiyao suddenly came to the point where Xue Yang's arm around her shoulder pulled her slightly, leading her to deviate from the straight forward route, turning a slight arc, and then she felt Someone brushed past him and almost ran into him.The man seemed to be taken aback, and said repeatedly:

"Sorry, it's too foggy, I can't see clearly."

Lu Zhiyao took a closer look and found that it turned out to be a salesman carrying a shoulder pole and selling some small wooden toys.After thinking for a while, she stopped the shopkeeper and asked:

"Master, you come out to set up a stall on a foggy day."

"Oh, isn't it? When I came out of the house today, I saw the heavy fog, but I can't help it. Things are best sold during the Spring Festival. If you don't sell them, you can't. But look, there are too few people on the street. , I thought about it, and I still don’t do business.”

"Then master, I'll buy a rattle."

"Oh, thank you so much, I'll pick a good one for you."

After paying, Lu Zhiyao raised his hand and handed the rattle to the little guy sitting on the high place. The little guy was shaking happily, and the clear and crisp sound of the rattle added a bit of liveliness to this foggy and quiet world. .

Saying goodbye to the shopkeeper, the group continued to move forward.The blue brick and stone road under the feet was wet due to the humidity of the heavy fog, and it looked smooth and moist. The streets in Tongli seemed to be the same except for a little less people. The shops along the streets were basically open, but One is more deserted than the other. It stands to reason that the afternoon of the New Year's Day should be the time when the crowds are surging. Such a situation is rare in a hundred years.

On the way, they also ran into some tourists who looked like tourists, and some of them were holding up their DSLRs to take pictures of Tongli in the fog. go in.If this was changed to the era when film was used in the past, this would be a shameful act of waste.

Suddenly, I heard one of the tourists say:

"Strange, can't you make a phone call?"

"Ah? Could it be that you ran out of phone bills?" Another companion said.

"How is that possible? I just charged 100 yuan. And the notification sound said that there is no signal."

"No signal? How could it be? Although Tongli is not a city, it is not a wilderness. How can there be no signal in such a large scenic spot?"

"I don't believe it, look at your own mobile phone, is there no signal at all?"

"Hey, it's true. It can't be that the communication network is out of order."

Lu Zhi rumored that he took out his mobile phone and found that his mobile phone had no signal at all.And she found that the text message she set to be automatically sent at twelve o'clock last night was not sent, and it showed that the sending failed.The text message was sent to Forensic Lin, who took care of her recently. Thanks to her, she still remembered me and came to visit me. Out of the idea of ​​reciprocity, Lu Zhiyao set up a text message to wish the New Year at midnight on the first day of the Lunar New Year. , Sent to Forensic Doctor Lin.In addition to Forensic Lin, there are also some familiar colleagues in the hospital, such as Nurse Wang and the director.It's just that none of these group text messages were sent out. (Lu Zhiyao doesn't play WeChat, hehe) She was so busy last night that she forgot to check her phone and didn't find out until now.

Why did the send fail?Is there no phone bill?Lu Zhiyao hurriedly inquired, but found that she couldn't even dial the inquiry number.

Is it really a communication network failure?

Lu Zhiyao had a question mark on his forehead, thought for a while, but couldn't get an answer, and finally put the phone away.

The Tongli is not big, and the group of people did not know how many times they walked around. After walking around, they returned to Xunxuelou.Although the heavy fog affected the mood of the New Year to some extent, everyone still bought a lot of snacks, basically for the snacks.Only the little one carefreely licked the candied haws in his hand, looking at the stuffed snack bags carried by his mother and mother, he was very happy.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, the fog was still there, and Xueyang woke up early in the morning.When Lu Zhiyao woke up, he found that the other side of the bed was already cold.After she washed up and went to the restaurant, she didn't see Xueyang either. According to Xueyue, she seemed to have gone to Xunxuelou early in the morning.

Afterwards, Xueyue took her and Xiao Binger to the Xunxue Tower, and as soon as she went up to the third floor, she saw Xueyang standing at the door of the meeting hall with her hands behind her back, with a serious expression on her face.Lu Zhiyao frowned, and stepped forward to ask what's wrong.Xue Yang calmed down and replied:

"The whole of China is shrouded in thick fog. I'm afraid this is not a natural phenomenon at all."

As she spoke, she pointed to the large-screen ultra-thin LCD TV hanging in the hall downstairs, and at some point in her hand, she had a remote control, turned on the TV, and switched channels.Most of the channels are snowflakes. Only a local TV station in Gusu still broadcasts news, and the signal is also very unstable. The picture flickers, as if it will disappear in the next second.

"Internet TV is all gone, the network is paralyzed, and it can't be played at all. The signal radiation of the traditional TV tower can receive a little signal, but this station. Now this station is repeatedly broadcasting CCTV news."

[Most areas of North China, East China, and South China were shrouded in dense fog, with visibility less than five meters.Most of the airports, highways, and railways were closed, and traffic in major cities was paralyzed.In addition, according to the latest news received by our station, the heavy fog may have blocked network communication signals, and most communication networks were paralyzed.Experts pointed out that the heavy fog may be related to the large area of ​​water vapor condensation formed by the intersection of cold and hot air in early spring, coupled with the setting off of fireworks and firecrackers and exhaust emissions from factories, resulting in hazy days.Experts suggest that in recent days try to avoid going out and stay at home is the most appropriate...]

"This is definitely not a natural phenomenon, it's the mischief of the fog demon." Xueyang said with frowned eyebrows.

"Fog Demon? Impossible!" Xueyue showed astonishment.

"What happened to the fog demon?" Lu Zhiyao asked strangely.

"The fog demons are low-level demon species, and it is impossible to cause such a thick fog that covers the whole country. Moreover, their power is to use the condensation of water vapor in the air to form fog. How can it have the effect of blocking the signal?" Xueyue said.

"Indeed, the fog demon is just an intermediate-level yellow-ranked demon species. Generally, the fog that can be produced can cover an area within a radius of one kilometer at most. However, Gu suspects that this is definitely not a fog demon. There may be many fogs. The demons are creating thick fog at the same time. They may be like the networks made by humans, forming a huge fog net one by one. This is an organized and planned action. It is not clear why their purpose is, but the only thing that is certain is that They came here with bad intentions, most of them came for Yao'er." Xue Yang said.

"Aiming at me? How come, even if it is really coming at me, why do you want to create a thick fog covering the whole country? Is it necessary to spend so much effort?" Lu Zhiyao asked.

"That's why I said that the purpose is not clear, but the ultimate purpose is probably not wrong."

Lu Zhiyao gritted her teeth, dropped her plain hand on the railing, and gradually clenched it.It's coming at me again, what the hell do they want me to do?What is in my body?Could it be... Do you have to sacrifice other people to deal with me?With such a heavy fog, it is not difficult to imagine that various accidents are prone to occur.I'm afraid that right now, somewhere, someone lost their life because of the fog.Thinking that all these people died because of him, Lu Zhiyao's heart was pierced.

Xue Yang looked at Lu Zhiyao's expression, pondered for a moment, and said:

"It seems that our itinerary is going to be advanced."

"journey?"

"Yeah, I mentioned it to you years ago. After the Spring Festival, I will take you to Mount Zhongnan. Originally, I thought about it after the Lantern Festival. It looks like we have to start now."

Lu Zhiyao nodded.

"Are Aunt and Aunt leaving?" Xiao Bing'er asked with her small face up.

Xueyang bent down, hugged the little guy into his arms, and said:

"Bing'er and my aunt are going too. You have to be obedient. There is a thick fog outside, and I don't know what danger is hidden. If you don't obey and run around, my mother, mother, and aunt will not be able to find you by then, and they will be very anxious. .”

"Well, I will be obedient!" The little guy nodded earnestly.

Xue Yang touched the little guy's head, then straightened up, held Lu Zhiyao's cold hand, and said;

"Yao'er, don't worry, I have sent orders to the big monsters stationed in various places. Xueji will do my best to protect the safety of human beings, and try our best to rescue people trapped in the fog. Don't blame yourself too much, it's not your fault , you should not take responsibility."

Lu Zhiyao looked at Xueyang's gentle green eyes and warm smile, and listened to her always soft voice, her heart gradually relaxed.She clasped her hand behind her back and said:

"Don't worry, I won't get into a dead end."
