Chapter 128: The Sky
The collapse of the world often happens in an instant.
You are accustomed to the world that is constant and unchanging, but it may fall apart in an instant.
This was the scene that appeared in front of Mei. Unable to find Kevin, she could only follow her feeling and leave Qianyu Academy.
On the streets, the sounds of car horns and various curses were intertwined.
The sky began to grow dark without anyone noticing, and the dark clouds in the city center began to spread to the surrounding areas for some unknown reason, as if they were going to engulf the city.
"What the hell is this? Do you know how to drive? Can you drive faster?"
The violent mood permeated the crowd like the air. Ordinary people who were completely unaware of the situation seemed to be affected by something, and fear instinctively emerged in their minds. Faced with this unfounded fear, people could only vent it with anger.
May looked around for the modes of transportation available to her.
"All electrical tools may have problems, so there is no need to consider them for now..."
After much thought, the extremely intelligent Mei couldn't come up with any good solution.
Because all the tools of modern humans are built on a network of electrical wires, including trams, telephones, computers, batteries... Once they are separated from electricity, humans will almost return to the primitive age.
Even if it is a mechanically powered means of transportation, such as a bicycle, the iron filling on it could cause an accident when Mei leaves.
The best way now is to leave on foot. Even Mei feels a little absurd in the strange air.
Her physical strength was not good, but there was nothing she could do at the moment. Without being able to open the navigation, she walked towards the outskirts of the city.
Just after crossing two streets, Mei heard human shouting from the street behind her.
Mei turned around, and within her sight, a huge purple light circle began to spread from the center of the city to the periphery.
And at this moment, it was passing by her.
“I didn’t dodge…”
Mei looked down at her hands and placed one hand on the pulse of the other. There were no obvious changes in her skin and nerves, and other than her accelerated heartbeat, there seemed to be no unique reaction.
However, the street behind her underwent silent changes.
As the purple light circle spread outward, the traffic lights on the street went out, the subway ran forward out of control, and the workers' hands on the machines were cut randomly...
There are many similar tragedies. In just a short moment, many people in this city lost their lives in the "electrical appliances" they trusted in their daily lives because of the electromagnetic phenomenon that just occurred.
Among the casualties, some dead figures began to stand up quietly and spread to more people.
Mei had already thrown her cell phone into the academy and forgotten about the metal hairpin on her head.
She changed into a pair of running shoes at school and started running on the streets.
In the sight, the colorful advertising windows on the building are now darkening, revealing a gray screen.
Everything that was usually noisy seemed to have been paused, and all human technology based on the power system began to fall apart at this moment.
The voices on the street seemed to become quiet, so quiet that Mei felt a little uneasy.
"What happened?"
Excessive running and nervousness forced Mei to rest in an alley.
"Whoosh..."
Just as she took a breath and raised her head, her sight naturally turned to the alley. The scene in it made her pupils suddenly dilate.
In the dark alley, some homeless people lurking in the shadows, their bodies strangely pale, stood up as if controlled by some invisible force.
"Zombies?"
Kevin forced May to watch some horror movies of this type, but May usually just watched them with a smile on her face, and was rational and didn't seem frightened at all.
But when she really faced such a "monster", her body couldn't help but become unable to move. Although her mind was free, her instincts prevented her from moving her body effectively.
Behind her, Mei saw out of the corner of her eye that something seemed to fly out from the dark clouds in the center of the city, like a bird, but different.
On a street that can be seen every day, a huge white monster that appeared from nowhere was walking calmly on the street.
If a footprint is left, a car will be crushed into a "biscuit" shape.
At the critical moment, Mei retreated, and the assassins in the alley began to move and pounce towards Mei.
Mei instinctively sat on the ground, and the dead man flew backwards over his head.
Although she dodged the attack, the impact of sitting on the ground made it impossible for her to get up. If nothing unexpected happened, she would not be able to avoid the next attack.
Mei heard the assassins crawling up behind her and heard the roars behind her.
The white giant beast on the street seemed to have heard the noise and began to walk towards her, moving so fast that it almost crossed the street as soon as it started.
At this speed, even if Mei avoided this assassin, she would definitely not be able to escape from the white monster in front of her.
At the end of her life, Mei wanted to take another look at Kevin, the boyfriend she had just met.
Just as she closed her eyes, Mei suddenly seemed to hear the sound of something jumping down from the sky, and a clear call coming into her ears.
"plum!"
When he opened his eyes, he saw a boy with white hair and blue eyes, jumping down from the roof of a building next to the alley, holding a baseball bat that he had taken from somewhere.
The high-altitude jump, gravitational potential energy, and the boy's own extraordinary strength, when the blow hit the assassin behind Mei, even without looking at Mei, he knew that he was temporarily saved.
Kevin jumped down from a building of who knows how many floors, and smashed the dead man's head hard with the baseball bat in his hand. Based on his experience of watching zombie movies, the head must be the weak point of these guys.
"thumping!"
With a sound like a watermelon being smashed, Kevin picked up Mei without looking back and left at a pace of 80 miles per hour.
The white monster behind him is not something he can deal with at the moment, so his first goal is to take his girlfriend away from here.
The two people's eyes met in danger, perhaps it was a tacit understanding, or perhaps some kind of special induction.
Kevin found Mei, and even he couldn't explain how he found her. He jumped over tall buildings, crossed the streets, and killed his way out of the school with a baseball bat.
He was here, just as he had promised.
As he ran, he thought of his friends who were far away and prayed that similar situations would not happen in other cities.
"Yao Luo..."
