The crisp unlocking sound of “click” ignited the voice-activated lights in the corridor. An Sheng tried his best to avoid making high-decibel sounds, but the unpleasant “squeak” sound of the old security door still made his teeth itch.
“It’s time for butter again…” An Sheng complained in a low voice, and gently locked the door.
This is his home, 38 square meters of one bedroom and one living room. Although the whole is a bit outdated, it has been managed in an orderly manner. The first impression to people is that the owner of this house is a person who knows how to manage a house. An Sheng, 28 years old this year, single, or divorced to be exact. He was also a rich second-generation, but his family’s business went bankrupt due to the financial crisis. His father couldn’t bear the pressure and jumped off the building and committed suicide. His mother was also sick and died after lying in the hospital for three months.
When his wife at the time chose to divorce him, An Sheng didn’t blame her. After all, as the old saying goes, “Husbands and wives are birds of the same forest, and when disaster strikes, they will fly separately!” There is no need for a poor boy to live a miserable life. After dealing with the funeral at home, An Sheng left his hometown alone and went to this strange city. The pampered An Sheng actually had no survival skills. In order to survive, he rented a taxi, played a sports car during the day, and acted as a chauffeur at night. Although he was very tired, he finally took root in the city.
An Sheng’s home is in the western suburbs. It’s a long-lived tube building. The building has six floors. There are twenty-two residents on each floor. Fortunately, the rent is cheap.
An Sheng is very satisfied with his current life. He can earn more than 10,000 yuan for two jobs every month. After taking into account the rent, water, electricity, food and drink, he can save 10,000 yuan every month. Soon he will be able to own a car of his own. Of course, buying a car is not to improve the quality of life, but a new platform called Didi has recently been launched. It is said that he can register a special car driver, and the benefits are very good. After all, the monthly rent for a taxi is more than 4,000 yuan. If you save this money, I believe you can make more money every month.
After a simple wash, dragged all over, An Sheng lay on the bed and charged his phone, ready to go to sleep. Suddenly, a sudden gust of wind blew into the bedroom, followed by a bolt of lightning splitting the dark night sky, followed by a dull loud noise, it was going to rain, and it was still raining heavily.
An Sheng reluctantly got up from the bed. His clothes were still hanging on the hangers outside the window. Opening the window, An Sheng quickly packed his clothes to dry. The strong wind mixed with the rain had begun to beat on his body. Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough to save himself and his clothes by taking advantage of the gaps before the rainstorm. When I came back, although it was also drenched by the rain, it was not soaked.
An Sheng carried the still-dry clothes into the bathroom, but when he saw himself in the bathroom vanity mirror, he was stunned. On his white short-sleeved shirt, there are all dense blood-colored spots!
What is this? Could it be the rain that fell on you just now? In order to verify his guess, An Sheng took off his short-sleeved shirt, opened the window and stretched out his clothes. After a while, the white shirt has turned into a **** shirt! And a strange scent also began to permeate the room, which was obviously the smell of rain, because the source of the scent was the blood-colored shirt in his hands.
An Sheng was not sure whether the strange rain was poisonous, but to be on the safe side, he hurriedly threw the strangely scented shirt out of the window, and then rushed into the bathroom to take a shower. Then he went back to his bed to sleep.
He was right to suspect that the blood rain did carry an unknown virus. Because after half an hour, his body began to show symptoms. First, he was cold all over, and soon his limbs became weak. Finally, he didn’t even have the strength to get up and go to the cupboard to get the medicine. However, the uncomfortable feeling did not torment An Sheng for too long, because he passed out after a while.
During half-dreaming and half-awakening, An Sheng seemed to feel that something had penetrated into his body. These unknown existences, like tiny worms, began to erode his skin and muscles into his body, and then entered his internal organs along the blood vessels. And finally his brain.
He had a strange dream that night. In the dream, he was floating in a blood-colored world. There was no sky, no land, and everything was just **** illusory. An Sheng, who was in it, had nowhere to take advantage of, and let himself struggle, but he couldn’t move a bit. Just when he was desperate, a black creature flashed at a very fast speed, and got into his body before he could prevent it, and then…
“DiDi, DiDi…” The alarm sound of the mobile phone came into An Sheng’s ears~IndoMTL.com~ He suddenly got up, and after a while, he lay back down again. It turned out that all this was just a dream. He vaguely remembered that he seemed to have a fever, but it should be all right, because now he is doing everything as usual except for being exhausted.
The time on the mobile phone is already 7:15. Ansheng’s taxi shift is at 9:15. He always gets up at this time and cooks himself a breakfast. This is coming to this city. Habits formed later. This morning meal is the most hearty meal of his day. Lunch and dinner are simple things because of the need for a sports car and a chauffeur, so An Sheng will sacrifice some sleep time to replenish his body. Nutrition.
Just as An Sheng walked into the bathroom to wash up, a dull and violent explosion shook the whole building, and the glass in the living room was shattered by the huge sound wave, followed by several consecutive explosions. An Sheng, who had been spoiled since childhood, had never seen such a battle before, thinking it was an earthquake, so scared that he hurriedly got into the bathroom. He remembered that it was said in the textbook that if an earthquake strikes and there is no time to evacuate to an open area, it is necessary to find a small and sturdy location as an emergency shelter, which can increase the chance of survival.
To be honest, the loud noise just now gave An Sheng a shock. But after all, he is also a man, and An Sheng soon realized that it was not an earthquake at all, but an explosion somewhere nearby.
Judging from the fact that the glass of his own house was shattered, the location of the explosion should not be far from his house. Well, people have curiosity at work, and An Sheng is naturally unavoidable. So he dared to walk out of the bathroom, carefully walked to the living room window and looked out, just one glance, he was completely stupid!
Is this still the world you are familiar with?
