Don't worry, Yokohama is about to end

Have you ever heard the sound of the city breathing?

I have heard, and I have heard, the sound of Yokohama dying.

……

To this day, when Mei Zhishang wakes up from a nightmare, she always thinks of the evening when she finished her high school graduation ceremony.

At that time, the president of Yokohama Imperial University was standing on the guest lecture stage, and the dazzling light from top to bottom hit his very shiny bald head, successfully attracting the admiration of countless graduates.

"Gentlemen, this is a brand new era for you. Your predecessors have used their strength to prove to the world that cancer is not invincible. Writing genes will be our new great cause, and even the gods can't stop it—"

The speech of the president of Yokohama Imperial University was very successful, which can be seen from the excited expressions on the faces of the graduates, but the people here did not include Mei.

At that time, the bald headmaster was fighting on stage, while the girl with silver hair and golden eyes raised her head and stared intently at the shining bald head. She couldn't help but swallowed——

I really want to eat egg yolks.

Decided!The luxurious main course of tonight's celebration banquet is - meat steamed with egg yolk!

Don't laugh, this is already a rare high-end cuisine.

It’s not that Zhishang Mei’s family background is not ideal. On the contrary, Mei’s family can be said to be quite wealthy. In an era when an apple is comparable to gold and ordinary citizens replace three meals with nutrients, they can still eat a hot meal. It shows luxury.

"So, this is the price paid for the rapid development of technology, Mei."

The 48-year-old Zhishang’s old father concluded for the [-]st time, and by the way, he showed off to his daughter for the [-]nd time the golden age when everyone could afford Chinese cabbage and secretly threw away green peppers and carrots.

"Mmmmmmm!"

Mei nodded frequently, just listening to the voice, she bought it sincerely.

Zhishang's old mother caressed her face and smiled: "Ananda, if you brag again, Xiao Mei will eat your share too."

Old Zhishang's father: "?!"

"How dare you covet the meat on father's dinner plate, you are so brave, you are so smart!"

The silver-haired girl continued cooking without looking up.

All in all, it was just an extremely ordinary night, until the silver-haired girl fell asleep.

"Mom, have you changed my shower gel to one that smells like fried chicken again? I've said that this is not only not fragrant, but it also looks like your daughter is especially suitable for putting it in her mouth..."

After taking a shower, the girl came out wiping her hair, her whole body was warm, and even her complaining tone was full of steam.

"Mother?"

The expected response did not appear, only the holographic TV in the inner hall on the first floor was still introducing the new AI butler on sale.

Not right.

After many years of training at school, Mei immediately realized that the situation was different, and the process that she had already memorized quickly emerged in the girl's mind, while maintaining her usual tone, she walked downstairs.

"Ignoring me again...Mom? Are you listening to me!"

While shouting, Mei unintentionally tore off the towel from her head and held it in her hand, wrapping it around her palm.

This is a movement that can be used as an attack weapon when advancing, and can be used to strangle the neck of the approacher from behind when retreating.

Burglary?

Impossible, Alice did not issue a warning.

In other words, are they acquaintances——

At this point in time, her parents would be able to welcome the guests who came in unsuspecting...

The silver-haired girl squinted her eyes, and quickly went through the "Parents' List" in her head, and screened out a few suspicious candidates, but the girl's vigilance fell through.

Kitchen, nobody.Wash the bathroom, nobody.Guest room, nobody.

……

Nowhere is there a trace of my parents.

"Snapped……"

Mei leaned over and turned off the power of the holographic TV, and the beaming host in the inner hall disappeared.

When the only source of sound in the mansion disappears, an unnatural silence emerges.

It was too quiet, not only at home, but also the street outside the window and even the artificial park a little farther away. It was as if an invisible eraser erased all the living things that made noise.

Mei Zhishang shivered suddenly, and an indescribable panic began to spread in her heart.

"Mom! Dad!"

The silver-haired girl suddenly ran to the main control room. She took out her optical brain and flipped her fingers to dial her parents’ number. .

Calm down, as long as Mom and Dad are still alive, Alice will be able to find them.

Yes, it's fine, it's going to be fine...

Mei entered the permission command into the main terminal with trembling fingers, but after a long search, she was only answered by the four characters "No such person" on the light screen.

Mei Zhishang blinked her eyes slowly, as if in slow motion, she looked down at the light brain that was always busy, her dull gaze moved up and stayed at the wrist.

The girl thought dully——

In Yokohama after 2025, every legal resident has received a positioning chip injection. The chip is bound to the host’s DNA. , unless her parents never existed.

……

Mei Zhishang rushed out of the house, she wanted to ask for help, but finally stopped because she couldn't find anyone.

Whether it's passers-by, the police, neighbors with lights on in their houses, or shopping malls with music playing in their buildings, she has never been able to find a single person.

The silver-haired girl stood barefoot in the once most prosperous commercial center, but what she faced was a dead empty city.

At this moment, she had to admit one thing——

The city that was once called "the closest to God" died overnight.

Then, only she was forgotten.

Mei lowered her head and buried her face in her palms.

Just when the girl was immersed in a daze, a footstep sounded behind her.

It was definitely not the sound that normal humans would make—tearing, like sandpaper rubbing against glass, or dragging dead flesh on the ground.

Mei slowly turned her head, her beautiful golden pupils suddenly constricted in shock.

Through the brilliant lights of the mall, she saw—

??

"This kind of monster, let's call it "Shadow Man" for the time being. "

"According to the picture on the sky in Yokohama a day ago, this monster looks like a human, but its whole body, including its facial features, is wrapped in a jet-black fluid substance. .”

"Preliminary estimates show that the grip strength of the "Shadow Man" has reached more than 1 ton. Once an ordinary person is caught, there is no possibility of survival. "

"However, it seems to be disturbed by some kind of factors. It is currently moving slowly, which is its only weakness. The possibility of subsequent evolution cannot be ruled out."

??

Mei Zhishang has forgotten how she escaped surrounded by those monsters.

Thanks to the training class in high school, at least she has the minimum ability to escape. Out of a warning of a certain crisis in her brain, Mei showed 12 points of caution when facing monsters.

Keep the distance as far as possible, avoiding the scratching of sharp nails.

Facts have proved that when Mei saw the black monster easily leaving paw prints on the building comparable to the hardness of diamonds, the girl's intuition was correct.

Monster, monster.

There are black monsters everywhere, they are soundless, hiding in the shadows like shadows, never knowing where they will emerge in the next moment.

When Mei shook off these things, her physical strength was almost exhausted.

She hid in a strange house through a skylight somewhere. Fortunately, it was probably a single owner—with a small space, Mei could easily bring the entire interior into view.

There is no extra time for her to rest.

After tens of seconds of silence, Mei took a deep breath, wiped the sweat off his face vigorously, instructed his trembling limbs to get up from the floor, and then bit by bit, silently sealed the window, Keep things that are howling for prey at bay.

Finally, the girl found the gun hidden by the owner, and sat straight on the chair facing the door of the house.

The waiting time is always the longest.

Mei Zhishang didn't know what she was waiting for, maybe she was waiting for an opportunity to fight back, or maybe she was just waiting for the moment when the gate was broken open.

The burst of adrenaline for survival kept her brain in an extremely awake and excited state, and Mei began to force herself to recall, replaying the sudden changes of that night.

The grief of losing a parent, the great pain of being left behind by the world is packaged into a small box and roughly stuffed in a corner of the thinking space.

The howling of the monster outside the house continued without stopping. Fortunately, the seemingly fragile door of the house was not broken open from the beginning to the end.

I don't know how long the time passed like this, and the sky outside gradually brightened.

A ray of morning light crept in through the gap and shone on the girl's face. The next second, Mei's silver eyelashes blinked, and the whole person seemed to be awakened, and came back to life.

The howling of the monster outside had disappeared at some point.

Mei Tomogami moved her arm stiffly, and the gun she had been holding all night fell to the ground with a bang, and the sound made the girl jump immediately.

At this moment, Mei felt her wrist vibrate slightly.

She looked down and found that the light brain that had been silent for a long time was flashing a signal light, and someone was contacting her.
