doomsday exile

Although he guessed that the peaceful life might be turbulent, Lu Di didn't expect the second accident to come so quickly.

He stood in front of the square in front of a commercial building, watching the black clouds flying overhead.

The cloud was made up of countless moths, and they didn't seem to be attracted by the light, because it was four o'clock in the afternoon.

In fact, the scale is far from reaching the level of covering the sky and the sun. They don't fly high, just like three or four floors, but they are enough to fill the narrow space between tall buildings. People sitting in street coffee shops obviously feel that When the light dimmed, he looked up suspiciously.

"My God, look!"

For a moment, countless mobile phone screens were raised to the sky.

Whether in the store or on the street, people excitedly took pictures of this spectacle.

These moths seem to be gathering from all directions, and the number is increasing, as if they are going to have a year-end party above the square.

Shangdu can be regarded as a city that never winters all year round. Even in November, the temperature is still 25 degrees. The moths will not freeze to death, but the emergence of adults means that they have reached the breeding season, and there will indeed be large-scale gatherings phenomenon, but definitely not in a big city with a population of tens of millions.

Now the number is estimated to have reached 30.

Shangdu is not deep in the mountains and old forests!

Lu Di stepped back quietly, pretending to be frightened, and was squeezed into the first floor of a shopping mall by the crowd.

Only then did he have time to look at his phone, unlock it with his fingerprint, and quickly search for keywords.

Sure enough, there has been a small sensation on social networking sites, and abnormal gatherings of moths have been photographed in many areas of Shangdu.

The scale powder dropped by a large group of moths has caused some people to have allergic reactions and asthma attacks. Officials in Shangdu urgently appeal to citizens to stay indoors, or use umbrellas and wear masks when traveling to avoid respiratory diseases caused by large amounts of inhalation.

Lu Di quickly swipe across the screen, and he can find the earliest record, a small city in the south of Shangdu. ,

"Flying out of the mountains?"

There are not many comments under this statement, the popularity is not high, and the pictures are not clear.

Lu Di is not a hacker. As an ordinary person, he has no connections, and it is impossible to collect massive amounts of information immediately and then analyze the data.

More and more moths gathered on the square, and they fell to the edge of the fountain, because there were too many of them, like black and gray bands, covering the sculptures and green belts.The owners of the retail kiosks selling beverages and snacks in the middle of the square hastily closed their windows, and some frantically slapped moths to prevent them from contaminating the food.

"Dinosaurs yesterday, moths today, what happened to Shangdu?"

Even so, the crowd of spectators did not decrease at all, and some people didn't care about the scales and went directly to the square to take pictures.

"Maybe it's the ancient revival... Maybe we can see even more strange phenomena..."

Listening to the loud voices in the crowd, Lu Di thought to himself, is it really possible to revive the ancients?The average length of insects in the dinosaur era was half a meter, and they could scare people to death. If carnivorous insects pounced on them in groups, people would be like a large moving piece of meat.

"No, come here!"

The spectators in front shouted loudly, and saw moths rushing to the glass door of the shopping mall.

Wave by wave, layer by layer, in just a few minutes, the scale powder stained the glass with magic colors.

At the same time, the moth corpses piled up on the ground were several centimeters thick.

Everyone backed away in shock, and the people who were taking pictures in the square didn’t know where they went, and there were screams from the cafe next to them. This shopping mall seemed to be the center of a storm. The huge lighthouse attracts moths.

Moths can't kill people, and no matter how many there are, they can't bury people alive. Everyone just screamed, but they weren't particularly scared.

Lu Di also saw someone take out a selfie stick and open a live broadcast room on the spot, talking excitedly to the screen.

Lu Di looked down at the phone.

16:37

I'm going to be late for work.

He took the escalator in the shopping mall, went to the third floor, and entered a mass-market coffee, tea and bookstore. The sign at the door was "Poetry and the Distance".

"Xiao Lu, are you here?" The staff at the door of the bookstore looked up and saw Lu Di, and smiled, "We are still worried, afraid that you will be blocked on the road. Are there really so many moths outside?"

"Well, scary."

Lu Di said briefly and vaguely, he went to the staff lounge to put down his backpack, took his uniform and went to the bathroom of the mall to change.

When he was leaving the toilet, a puppy hugged by a fashionable urban beauty suddenly broke free and jumped to his feet.

"Excuse me, baby? What's wrong with you?"

The young woman noticed that her pet was abnormal, curled up and shivering, as if frightened.

She looked up at Lu Di suspiciously, and then looked around. There was nothing to scare the dog.

In fact, pets are not allowed in shopping malls, but this dog is so small that it can fit in a handbag, and the security guards can't control it.A puppy would bark wildly when frightened, and the smaller the dog, the louder the barking, but now it seemed sick, listless, and only trembled.

Lu Di walked away silently.

When he returned to the store, he punched his work card.

There are not many customers in the bookstore today, but there is a lot of work to do.

Cleaning, moving books, checking online platforms, packing books and other express deliveries to the door, pay attention to not allowing children brought by customers to tear up books in the store, and making milk tea and coffee occasionally.

"...Xiao Lu, you are acting weird today."

"Didn't sleep well."

"Ah?" The colleague in charge of the day shift looked at Lu Di strangely, "You don't have to get up early for the night shift, how can you not sleep well?"

Lu Di responded vaguely. The colleague was in a hurry to get off work, so he didn't say much, and left after handing over all the work clearly.

The two guests in the teahouse held their mobile phones, discussing excitedly, and decided to go out to see the spectacle of moths.

Lu Di went to clean up the table. His body seemed to be relaxed, but in fact he was tense all the time to prevent accidents around him.

At this time, the two customers who left just walked to the door of the bookstore, their bodies shook, and then they covered their foreheads.

"My head is so dizzy."

"My ears... are so swollen!"

They wobbled and stretched out their hands to support the wall. At this time, they could clearly see that someone had already fallen to the ground in the corridor of the shopping mall.

"boom."

An employee in the bookstore also dropped the book he was moving to the ground. It was as if a hundred people were talking desperately in their ears, and it was as if an awl was poking down from his forehead desperately. With no control, he fell straight down.

In Lu Di's eyes, an invisible monster passed through the walls and glass of the building, filling up the ten floors of the shopping mall in one go, and people fell down one after another wherever it passed.

Lu Di: "..."

Slipped and fell against the table, lying on the ground, head towards the back of the tea seat sofa.

——The surveillance camera in the store couldn't capture that place.

Lu Di is not an actor, he can't guarantee that he can put on a painful expression, and be perfect without any flaws.

In the subway, that ran and ran, and no one knew who he was.

But here is the place to work!

Every employee knows each other and cannot disappear for no reason.

Surveillance cameras should not suddenly malfunction or be damaged, which is no different from self-exposure.

Damn, his head started hurting too.

"Alert, level one alert!"

"Shangdu has detected an infrasound attack, and the specific location is Liangjiang North Road, Donghai District..."

The red light kept flashing and turning, and the notification sound was rapid and loud.

Yuan Zhongxia was answering the phone in the office when he heard the sound and jumped up.

"Liangjiang North Road? Isn't it the place where moths gather strangely?"

The person on the other end of the phone obviously heard the alarm. In fact, this alarm is installed in the offices of all agencies. Once it rings, it will enter an emergency state to deal with sudden disasters, including but not limited to earthquakes, tsunamis, terrorist attacks .

Or a neighbor on the earth had a brain twitch and threw a missile over before Huaxia intercepted it. This kind of accident will not happen theoretically, but there must be an accident with preparatory measures.

"Yuan Zhongxia, I order you to bring all your equipment and go to the location of the incident immediately."

"Yes!"

The standards of the special operations team are on the same level as firefighters, and sometimes even higher.

In less than a minute, everyone gathered downstairs.

The car also drove over, and all kinds of equipment can be carried away, and can be arranged and dressed in the car.

Sonic weapons are high-tech that have emerged in recent years. They can win a battle without killing the enemy. They are strongly recommended by some humanitarian organizations and are used in war-torn areas.But the non-lethal valves of these things were opened without any suspense after falling into the hands of some terrorist organizations.

Most countries are now equipped with a mechanism to detect infrasonic attacks, which can respond immediately, launch sonic jamming bombs, and explode in the sky above the strike area to disintegrate the sonic attack.

But the scene must be sealed off, the sooner the better, to catch the attackers.

For this kind of fixed-point attack that harms a small group of people, the instruments are usually placed within one kilometer.

——If you wear a protective hood and protective clothing, you will not be affected even if you are within the attack range.

Although Shangdu is a prosperous city with a population of over [-] million, there are strict security checks no matter how you enter the city. If you want to bring weapons in, it is simply a research topic for international mercenaries all the year round. Huaxia is a forbidden place for mercenaries.

There is no ten times the price, it is not very necessary, and absolutely no one will accept Huaxia's order.

Now the question is, is the infrasonic attack, or is it in the Shang metropolitan area?

How did you do it?

In the modern age of rapid technological development, let alone take the subway to go to the hospital, enter the bank, stay in the hotel and take the high speed, there is even an automatic detector at the entrance to the shopping mall. Who can skip such repeated scanning?

"...Could it be that all the items are separated, all the instruments are dismantled into parts, mixed in with electronic components, and then assembled in a temporary warehouse?"

A member of the special operations team came up with the most likely guess.

Yuan Zhongxia didn't speak. After getting in the car, he turned on the combat system in the car, entered his number, and waited for the next instruction.

According to the authority, he can see how many people have been transferred now, and click to see the number and department they belong to.

The grassroots personnel under the jurisdiction of Donghai District have all been dispatched.

Some are responsible for maintaining order, while others are going to block the scene and set up roadblocks.

"Nearby hotels, bathhouses, and all entertainment venues are being investigated. The base headquarters system has received information on recent occupants and is comparing them... Commanders of various departments should pay attention. The first on-site blockade area is one kilometer near No. 555, Liangjiang North Road. , marked by the map as... Repeat, rescue the attacked people, pay attention to relevant suspicious persons.”

Yuan Zhongxia listened intently to the instructions sent from the computer one after another. He took out the walkie-talkie, turned on the channel he belonged to, and waited for special instructions.

The moment the attack warning was received, all systems began to operate at full capacity, including the scientific research personnel in the rear and the base staff.

"beep."

After a long notification tone, Yuan Zhongxia immediately took out the walkie-talkie: "The third special execution team is waiting for instructions."

Then he stood up in shock, "What? Is Yan Long already there?"

His speed is already fast enough, and there are still more than 20 kilometers away from Liangjiang North Road. The initial blockade can only rely on the assistance of the grassroots. Has Yan Long grown wings? This is where the incident happened?

The subsequent reply surprised Yuan Zhongxia even more.

"...found that there was something wrong with those moths, and you chased them?"
