"Today is World Smile Day! Tom, smile!"
.........
"Your expression is very stiff!"
"Jerry, I can't laugh, I'm dying, remember!"
........
"Oh, poor Tom, may XX bless... I'm sorry I shouldn't say this Tom!"
There was a low sob, the sound of nasal water sucking, and the sound of blowing his nose.
"Jerry, if I die... please smile, no matter what you face every day, smile."
........
"I can't laugh Tom, I really can't laugh anymore, you are dying."
"Yeah, I'm going to die Jerry. After I die, I remember to go to the most beautiful place under the floor of my house. After opening, there is a sum of money underneath. I will give you all Jerry. That's me. I secretly saved it from my wife, but it's useless now."
There was a cry of crying.
"Remember to smile, smile! Today is World Smile Day, but our Excellency the President hid in a cave."
"Jerry, you can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing, because XBI will come to arrest us at any time."
Accompanied by a burst of laughter
A metal radio is playing the morning story of Jerry and Tom. This is the first morning show that humans have heard in more than a month.
People with bandages on their faces sit quietly in a park. In the middle is a broken sculpture with the unclear words linPARK on the side. There are many medical staff around. Old-fashioned radios can be seen everywhere, and many people are listening to the program.
On one side of the park, there is a large signal receiving vehicle. The communication equipment of humans in the past has been destroyed in the extremely strong radiation. Now humans can only use the most primitive way to spread the message.
"It's just Jerry, the president didn't say that he will give a clear answer today, but it is almost half past nine. Do you say that the answer will come today?"
"I don't know Tom!"
Many people who heard this showed angry and complicated expressions. Although the preliminary reasons have been announced, I hope that the asteroid will suddenly fall and come straight to the earth. Humans have used the last resort to prevent the impact. Because of the mass extinction of living things, countless nuclear bombs were fired at the asteroid.
The amount of nuclear radiation released by the nuclear bomb that exploded in the outer circle of the earth in an instant spread to the surface of the earth, coupled with the impact of the fallen asteroid remains, releasing very high-energy radiation, the planet is currently suffering from very large radiation Pollution.
Such an answer is dumbfounding to most people who already know the news. The asteroid that was once called the hope by the whole world hit humanity head-on in an instant, and landed on this planet with despair. It can be described by the word destruction.
Over the past month, human beings have gone through hellish ordeals, all over the place is out of control, and a large number of people who have been exposed to severe radiation suffer from cancer in a short time.
Under the current medical conditions, cancer has effectively reduced the mortality rate, because most cancer patients die of cancer metastasis, and humans have overcome the mechanism of cancer metastasis decades ago. Drugs can be used to ensure Cancer does not metastasize, preventing cancer metastasis and killing patients, but nowadays medical institutions have almost collapsed.
Many people nearby are still distributing iodine tablets, as well as some painkillers for patients who are too painful. Nowadays, only the most primitive means can be used, and iodine tablets and transpiration are distributed by ordinary volunteers. People with a certain amount of medical knowledge, many of them, like people sitting on the ground, have already suffered from cancer.
Although I can't die in a short time, I have to endure abnormal pain. There is a temporary supply station nearby, but I don't know how long the next supply will take. With this park as the center, nearly 400,000 residents gathered nearby. Eighty percent of them are already suffering from cancer, and some are in junior high school, but cell cancer is inevitable.
There are a lot of people from the people’s guards on the periphery. They can only maintain a little order in this camp day and night. The outside world has been chaotic. This is the consensus of everyone, and in the face of disaster, most of them Man directly broke through his bottom line as a man, and began to do evil crazily at the end of his life, wishing to drag everyone he saw into hell.
The dim sky and the warm sun are the most direct feelings of all people at present. Most plants are dying a little bit, and some animal corpses can be seen everywhere on the street, but these bodies have become many today. Food for violent gangs wandering nearby.
"Please keep smiling, today is the 128th year, please keep smiling, and at the same time...please keep going Tom! Keep going."
The broadcast was over, and there were chaotic electric currents everywhere in the camp. Everyone was tuning the frequency, hoping to hear some news.
9:36
In a messy broadcasting room, the broadcasting equipment has been disassembled, and the threads of different colors are connected in a disorderly manner. Several people with black marks on their cheeks are sitting in a pile. They are all here. A former technician of a TV station.
On a bed, a middle-aged man with a very bad complexion. He is Tom, and beside him is a fat man with round cheeks. He is Jerry. The two of them are hosting an entertaining morning news program. It has been 20 years. In the past 20 years, the two have used ridicule or mockery to interpret some factual news countless times, and they have gained a very high degree of attention. From the poor to the politicians and celebrities, and even the president, they are all making fun of them. Object.
The show has suffered countless difficulties in the past 20 years. The two have even been arrested and suppressed many times, but they will always use the power of the people to fight against the audience and continue the show.
It’s just that this may be the last show for the two. The lines in the broadcasting room have been repaired by several people in the technical department. Many of them have cancer. Jerry looked at Tom, whose neck was swollen like a thigh. He was still injecting, and there were only some simple medicines next to him. Jerry risked his death and snatched it from a controlled drug production company a few days ago. Three people died for this, only Jerry lived alone. When he came down, he was shot in the thigh.
Nowadays, people who have abandoned humanity and human morality have taken up many facilities with weapons. The world has been chaotic. Many people want to know what happened and why such problems occurred.
But it will be announced today. A few days ago, Congress dispatched helicopters to frequently send some displays to the vicinity of people's gathering places. Everyone was anxiously waiting for the president to speak.
"Do you want to tell everyone?"
At this time Jerry asked. Tom shook his head. After they repaired the radio, they already knew a more terrifying thing, that is, an infectious disease is spreading in the north, this unknown virus, any medicine None of them worked. The fatality rate was 100%. Because of the disasters and social chaos, such news has never been passed on, or someone deliberately concealed the news.
boom
Accompanied by a loud noise and the sound of coming upstairs, a few minutes later, many fully armed AIP people came up. Several people in the room looked at them in shock, and the headed commander in black helmet stepped forward. It was directly announced that several people in the house were suspected of walking rumors and betraying state secrets.
Tom on the hospital bed laughed, and Jerry on the side laughed so that tears and nose flowed out, and several other people sitting also laughed.
"Who are you serving for?"
Tom asked, and then coughed up blood. Everyone who came in looked solemn. At this time, the leader of the team opened the mask, and his eyes were complicated.
"Shoot! I won't live long and don't need your help. My family is gone, they live on the West Coast!"
With tears streaming from Tom's eyes, Jerry laughed and nodded.
"I don't have any family anymore."
As Jerry raised his leg, the injured area was severely suppurated and inflamed, the bullet was still inside, and the bandaged area was still bleeding.
"Shoot bastards, you bastards!"
Tom got up from his chair excitedly. At this moment, the captain was silent, and many people behind him bowed their heads.
People in several technical departments also smoked cigarettes casually, if they smiled, they didn't have any fear.
Click
The captain took out his pistol and pointed it at Tom. Jerry walked over and sat beside Tom. The two looked at each other with a smile and compared scissor hands. The gun banged and blood splashed on Jerry. Tom raised his head on his cheek.
"Take away everyone who is left, now is the time for technicians..."
Suddenly Jerry put his hand into the pocket of his suit and made a gunshot motion. The sound of gunshots broke out in an instant. One minute later, the room fell silent. The captain watched in astonishment and took out the "gun" from his pocket. Jerry, he smiled with blood flowing at the corner of his mouth, his right hand turned into a gun gesture.
"I'm in... hell... waiting for you!"
The captain ordered his men to search the house, but at this time everyone felt unusually uncomfortable and heavy. No one spoke, but soon they found a manuscript with something written on it, and the most striking It is the word virus.
"virus!"
The captain became puzzled, he didn't care and threw the manuscript away.
"Close the team!"
The captain glanced at Tom who was dead on the hospital bed and Jerry lying on the ground. They both smiled, but their smiles looked a little sullen. The order they received was to arrest these journalists directly, if they didn’t obey or didn’t. Cooperate, you can forcefully arrest, if the rebels are shot directly.
Recently, many journalists have independently created radio stations and started broadcasting some things. This is the 47th person they have arrested in the past few days. Most of them have been arrested, but this time there was an accident.
The captain is also very angry. They are also human. They also know that this kind of arrest is wrong. However, they can only execute the order. Nowadays, it is only possible to enter the safe underground facility if the order is executed. This is the captain's proposal to the senior management. If you don’t let your family in, you won’t lead the team, and won’t cooperate.
The senior management has already received the family of the captain and the families of some soldiers in the team into a safe underground refuge facility before the captain executes the order given by the upper level.
Only this time, the captain felt a little difficult to calm down. The host and captain of the two programs knew each other. The captain has been watching the two programs since more than 10 years ago. At first it was for work, and then the captain gradually felt that Some things said by the two are correct, but at the level of rights and capital, they are both saboteurs.
It's just that the captain was a little concerned. When Jerry died at the end, the captain soon led people towards the top of the building. This news building had been looted, and there were still situations in some places.
Back on the rooftop, a helicopter was parked on it. The captain looked at the distance. The street was in chaos. There were blowing in the wind everywhere. Many people could be seen, but they were not like they used to be. On the sidewalk, but walking around randomly, the captain slowly closed his eyes.
"everything is over!"
10:41
Many people in the resettlement site have become agitated. Yesterday’s Congress Radio said that the President will announce some information at 10 o’clock this morning and will tell the citizens what has happened, but it is almost 11 am now.
In front of some screens that could not receive the signal, the nearby National Guard was still debugging the signal receiver, and still could not receive any video signal.
Anxiety and anxiety are spreading, and many people are looking forward to it. Although it doesn't matter to know the reason, humans must know what happened on the asteroid that contains hope.
This is what many people want to know, what is the culprit that led to all the great disasters, because humans need a reason why they have to live such an unbearable life now.
Somewhere in the camp, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl sat blankly on the balcony on the second floor of a room. This room is not bad and not damaged, and some facilities are still complete.
She was sitting on a recliner, drinking water comfortably, and there were some food beside her. The little girl's name was Sarri. She always kept smiling. A month ago, on the day of the disaster, Sarri was almost desperate. In order to survive, she had to go to the supermarket to grab food like everyone else, but she was very unlucky. She ran several supermarkets in a row without grabbing food.
In the end, Surrey found a large box of bread, survived on this box of bread, and found this room, surrounded by people from the National Guard, so there is no need to worry about safety for the time being.
The original people in this high-end apartment should have fled to the middle part because it is safe there. Everyone says that. Only some people who have not left due to illness or for various reasons have to stay in the city. Package left.
It’s just that Surrey doesn’t want to leave. This is where she grew up, because Surrey feels that it’s the same no matter where she flees. When the disaster struck, Surrey saw humanity, and in this month-long time , Surrey has witnessed so many things, she was almost assaulted many times, but fortunately, she successfully resolved the crisis with the gun in her hand.
Surrey came here this month to collect food. There are many people living in this apartment. Surrey has blocked the door, and every time she goes down from the balcony. Here, her only way to get in and out of the apartment is to climb down the drainage pipe. .
At the age of 11, Surrey had no parents and could only live with her grandma. She was a rebellious and weird girl since she was a child. Her classmates didn’t like to approach her because Surrey was also a famous bad student, but she was always alone. Come and go alone.
Surrey has become accustomed to this kind of loneliness, living alone. Surrey smiled and looked at the people gathered below one by one. She didn't understand. What is the meaning of gathering together in such a completely broken world. in.
"My dear citizens!"
Just after Surrey’s stunned effort, there was a sound in the display frequency that he snatched the other day behind him. Surrey walked over happily and sat on the sofa to watch. The president appeared on the screen with a smile, Surrey There was nausea, and looking at this false smile, Sarri knew that he couldn't tell the truth.
"For the current disaster, I express my regret. This disaster could have never happened, and the heroes in the universe will return as scheduled, with rich research results, but unfortunately, sometimes things are like this. It’s not satisfactory, so I once again appeal to everyone, please stay at home and obey the instructions of the National Guard. The country is already carrying out emergency relief work and will not let the citizens..."
Surrey is no longer interested. She shook her head. She felt that the president was talking nonsense. Everything he said was nothing more than a reassurance. Sarri didn’t believe what the president said. The only thing she knew was that she could only survive if she wanted to survive. On your own.
"As for the reason, please watch this video below!"
Suddenly there was a video of landing on the rocket lift station. You can see many astronauts waiting in line and undergoing inspection. At this time, the camera is aimed at a tall, handsome middle-aged astronaut, he Carrying a work card with identity and nationality, it says Li Jien.
It happened to be Li Jin’s turn to inspect. At this time, the inspector found a coin from him. Li Jin was called aside. The subtitles on the video showed that it was the relic of Li Jin’s girlfriend. Finally, after checking to ensure that it was correct, Li Jin took the coin. Boarded the space registration ship.
The TV signal is not very good. There are a lot of captions on it, because the coin Li Jien is carrying is a new type of memory alloy metal.
At this time, there was a 3D video screen made. The coin rolled on a spacecraft. Because all spacecraft were equipped with an electromagnetic gravity system, the coin rolled up inadvertently and rolled into the control room. Finally, because of this The reason for this special alloy affects the control signal system, and finally the spacecraft system has a disorderly failure.
It started with a small-scale explosion at first, but the asteroid contained a lot of high-energy matter, and finally caused a series of explosions. After the asteroid exploded, the speed of its own planet was affected, and it was finally attracted by the gravity of the earth. After a series of explosions came straight to the earth, in the end, mankind could only adopt the defense method of launching nuclear bombs.
The video ended, and the president smiled bitterly.
"Unfortunately, this is the truth of the matter. We can't predict the catastrophe that all these accidents have suddenly evolved..."
Surrey did not finish listening, but turned off the display, because the energy storage battery lit up when the sun is weak, it is difficult to store electrical energy, Surrey walked to the balcony, smiling while supporting his cheeks and watching The angry people below, the disappearing city voice, were restored again, and Sarri shook her head. She knew very well that the reason was not that simple, but this was what they wanted to show everyone.
Sarri laughed, then she turned around, returned to the room, pulled up the anti-theft compartment, then lay on the sofa, held the gun in her hand, aimed it at the anti-theft compartment, and closed her eyes. Surrey doesn’t know how, but the only thing that is clear is that the situation will only get worse. Nowadays, the food supply delivery came once half a month ago, but Surrey knew that it would not come. The so-called food aid .
The president's speech ended in just half an hour. At this time, there were angry voices everywhere. Many people were crying, laughing and making noise, and some were shouting with dissatisfaction, because this absurd reason was not enough. To be convincing, human beings have mastered extremely powerful technology and can even transform nature. However, because of such a small coin, such a big problem has arisen.
No one believes, and no one will believe, and more are unwilling to believe all this.
At this time, where humans still exist, many countries have also received this video file. Through temporary signal transmission stations, the video is transmitted to a place where humans can receive the message.
The planet, which had been completely silent, began to boil again. People shouted the truth, but no one knew what the truth was.
In a city close to the Pacific between a country and a country, many people are walking through, carefully walking through, but many people cover their bodies tightly, except for their families. They are far away from each other, seemingly not wanting to touch other people.
At this time, accompanied by a horrified woman scream, the flow of people on a street stopped.
"It's an infectious disease, it's an infectious disease!"
The woman’s voice spread quickly, and most people began to flee with their heads in their arms. At this time, a man fell weakly to the ground, his body was drained of water, and his skin looked like old tree bark. He painfully and hardly asked for help from those around him who had begun to flee, but soon the man's eyes were desperate. He held his hand like a withered tree trunk, painfully trying to cry, but there were no tears.
Gradually the man fell to the ground, his two eyeballs exploded, his body cheered, his fingers had begun to turn into dust.
Soon there was no one left on the street and it became empty. Now a serious infectious disease is spreading in human society, and there are fleeing humans everywhere. Some people call this virus annihilation!
