Chapter 1: Tortoise and Hare

Chapter 1 Turtle and Hare Race
In May 2119 AD, humans began to become dolls.
Walking on the street, eating in the restaurant, and just taking off half of the clothes in the shopping mall, those poor people's movements stayed at the moment before the change, and the smile on their faces was too late to put away, and they became a static humanoid doll.
There is no warning, and no reason can be found.
People are confused, scared, crazy and desperate.
They pulled up a bright red banner demonstration tour
OK, questioned whether this is a terrorist attack by a mysterious organization, or arrogantly alien civilization invasion on the Internet, and people dragged their families to take refuge in the countryside ... they did everything they could Things, but the people around them still become dolls one by one.
Gradually, people became numb.
The school to go to school, the work to go to work, what should life be like, or how.
But the daily TV news adds a link-
After reading the press release, the announcer will inform the audience with a standard broadcast cavity: "If you find that someone around you has become a doll, please call emergency number 123, and the relevant department will handle it for you in time ..."
The so-called treatment is to send the dolls to the scientific research institution.
If the scientist can find out what's ok, if the research doesn't find anything, wait for the family to claim it, and then decide whether to bury or leave the house for decoration, depending on the family's mood.
Bai Youwei watched the news for a while and saw that it was almost time, picked up the remote control and turned off the TV, then pressed the button on the wheelchair and headed towards the restaurant.
She has disabled legs, divorced her parents, and has set up a new family. About feel guilty to her daughter, the couple never spend money on Bai Youwei, let her live in the most luxurious villa, invite the most expensive nanny, but can not spare time to accompany her daughter.
However, Bai Youwei doesn't care.
She is used to being alone.
The restaurant clock ticked and the minute hand pointed at 12:10. Bai Youwei dine on time at 12 noon every day, only early and late, but now there is no dish on the table.
The surroundings were very quiet, the ticking of the clock made this gorgeous villa even more peaceful.
Bai Youwei waited for a while and smelled the smell of burning from the kitchen.
She adjusted her direction and slid past the wheelchair. The babysitter turned away from her, standing beside the gas stove, her hands maintained the cooking posture, but there was no movement.
The babysitter became a doll, just now.
It is still the original face, but the material is completely different. The living flesh becomes plastic skin, glass beads, chemical fiber hair ...
The original babysitter at home returned to take refuge. The babysitter had just been here for two days. Bai Youwei hadn't even remembered the name of the other party yet.
She stared at it for a while, then slid the wheelchair over, turned off the fire, and dialed emergency number 123 as the news said.
Always busy.
Bai Youwei thought about it and called her mother. The nanny is the person the mother invites and should be able to contact the nanny ’s family.
The phone was connected, and the rumors, laughter, and music sounded mixed ... showing her loneliness alone.
Really harsh.
She made things clear in a few words, and then hung up the phone.
The room is quiet, and the outside is quiet. The sun is scorching the earth, the garden pool is reflecting the sparkling light, a hibiscus flower is drooping purple flowers and leaves under the hot sun, everything is sparse and ordinary, but Bai Youwei knows that this world has become abnormal.
...
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the sound of a car engine came from outside the villa.
Bai Youwei saw a tall man ringing the doorbell through the window.
She thought for a moment, went to the kitchen and took a folding fruit knife, and slid out in a wheelchair.
Across the iron gate, the man's posture was upright, and his appearance was cold, and under the long black eyebrows was a pair of deep and quiet eyes.
I am vaguely familiar, but I can't remember where I have seen it.
"Are you Weiwei?" The voice froze a little, with the strangeness of the first meeting, "I'm Shen Mo, your mother knows that something is wrong here, let me pick you up."
Bai Youwei was startled.
Shen Mo ... No wonder she just felt familiar just now. It turned out to be Uncle Shen's son. He looks a bit similar to Uncle Shen.
I forgot to say that Uncle Shen is a good friend of her mother and a business partner. In fact, Bai Youwei believes that the term "spare tire" is more appropriate.
Bai Youwei quietly put the fruit knife into her pocket and opened the door
Shen Mo looked at the girl in front of her.
Pale complexion, soft long hair, and a light blue long shirt skirt wrapped her from neck to feet. As the name suggests, just looking at her, you can't help but think of words like white soft, tender, weak, and so on.
It looks very clever, not as difficult as Aunt Wang said.
"Clean up things, I will send you to Yangzhou." Shen Moyan concisely.
Bai Youwei shook her head: "Don't go."
Shen Mo was a little surprised and raised his eyebrows: "Now the city is not safe. All you can walk have been evacuated. You stay here and no one cares.
Bai Youwei lowered her head and looked at the delicate lines on her skirt. "Don't go. I look like this, it's a dead end everywhere I go."
Shen Mo did not expect her to be so stubborn.
He was not good at persuading people, let alone coaxing his children, and walked directly to the house, "Where do you live?"
Bai Youwei stared at him suspiciously, blinking, "What do you want to do?"
Shen Mo ignored her, walked around after entering the house, found her bedroom accurately, and began packing clothes and daily necessities.
The girl followed, with an aggrieved expression.
After finishing the clothes, Shen Mo stood in the room and looked around for a week, asking, "What about medicine?"
Bai Youwei lives in a wheelchair all year round, and medicine is a necessity.
She was silent.
He asked no more.
The room quickly became messy.
Bai Youwei sat in a wheelchair and watched him turn over the box, his hands clenched, his voice was very low: "Do you ... do you now feel that saving a lonely girl is very great and great? ... But you know I do n’t know, you actually hurt me. "
Shen Mo stopped, his expression calm.
Bai Youwei took a deep breath and continued: "Have you considered the consequences of forcibly taking me away? ... When I arrived in Yangzhou, I was a woman or a lame, how should I live? Do you know that I have to help out even when I go to the toilet? The far door is going to wear diapers, you simply ... "
She inhaled, "You don't understand anything at all! I won't follow you!"
At the end of the speech, the voice was hoarse, with a cry of forbearance.
Shen Mo looked at her and was silent for a while, he lowered his voice: "I really don't understand, but I understand at least one thing-you will die faster when you stay, leave, maybe there is hope."
hope?
Bai Youwei felt cold.
Even her biological parents are reluctant to see her. Her life is like a walking dead. Even if the world is as usual, she has no plans to continue to live.
She is a hopeless waste!
Shen Mo walked in front of Bai Youwei, his dark, dark eyes were oppressed, his tone calm and firm: "Relax, I will send you to Yangzhou without incident."
Bai Youwei bit her lip.
She had no choice.
Shen Mo pushed Bai Youwei away from the villa and came to the roadside off-road vehicle.
He picked up Bai Youwei from the wheelchair and felt that she was incredibly light. Although she was thin but she didn't care, the girl in her arms was soft.
Her face was leaning on his chest, a faint fragrance lingering, the aroma of the milk rose shampoo and the medicinal smell mixed together to form a strange fragrance, which had a feeling that could not be said.
Looking at the tight little face, he was somewhat soft-hearted and comforted again: "I drive fast, and I will be there in an hour and a half. Someone over there takes care of you, don't worry."
Bai Youwei apparently remembered his arrogance and ignored him with a straight face.
Shen Mo smiled, closed the rear door, sat in the driver's seat and turned off the key
It didn't take long for him to find himself miscalculated.
The situation is worse than expected, with dolls appearing on almost every road. Although the reason why people become dolls is temporarily unknown, it is well known that the places where dolls get together are high-risk areas, and everyone will avoid such roads as much as possible.
Shen Mo started to detour, and after more than an hour, finally reached the intersection.
The highway is not smooth.
Looking at the whole car, it is estimated that there are sixty or seventy cars, crookedly parked in the middle of the road, some cars crash into a group, and the life in the car is unknown.
At the end of the convoy, there were many people just like them who had just arrived on the highway. Those people stood outside the car, stretched their necks and looked around, hesitating whether to move on.
Shen Mo got off and asked about the situation.
Bai Youwei was lying by the car window, listening to those people talking about:
"What should I do? Can't you go?"
"Go? All the dolls in front, how do we pass?"
"Don't you go here and wait to die? In the nearest city, only Yangzhou and Taizhou have no one turned into a doll!"
"What about other roads, do you have dolls on other roads?"
"In this way we will all be trapped to death ..."
"Husband, what should we do?" A long-haired woman sobbed and cried, "It must be the end of the world ... we will all die ..."
Her husband didn't seem to have an idea either, smoking agitatedly, unable to say a word of comfort.
Bai Youwei listened for a while and found it boring, closing the window and calming herself.
Shen Mo returned to the car, and Bai Youwei asked him, "Will it become a doll from here?"
Shen Mo thought for a while, "Look at the situation first, and you can't find another way."
Bai Youwei didn't trust him very much and whispered: "There are dolls in other ways."
At this time, there was movement in front.
Everyone was surprised. Looking up, I saw a blue pickup driving slowly, with a sense of temptation. Several other cars saw it, and followed slowly, keeping a close distance.
It seems that someone can't wait.
After all, there is no safe place in the city, and there are dolls on almost every road. If you want to get out of the city, you must take risks.
The driver of the blue pickup truck was a bald man. He held the steering wheel and drove carefully past several cars with dolls. No abnormality was found, and he subconsciously accelerated the speed.
In a safe open space, he poked his head out of the car and waved towards the people behind: "This road can go!"
The atmosphere was uplifted by this sentence, and the following cars kept up.
Someone smiled and talked to the bald man in front: "Dude, thanks to you this time!"
Others also smiled lightly.
"It seems okay." Shen Mo started the car and followed the team.
Bai Youwei said, "Oh," he was not salty or not.
...
Everyone on the high-speed road drove by at the speed of the turtle. Everyone was extremely careful.
Bai Youwei lay quietly beside the car window.
As the car moved forward, she saw one figure after another, they were like models in a fashion store, with empty eyes and stiff attitude ...
Turning around, there are two dolls sitting in a red car opposite, driving a man, and a co-driver sitting a woman. The woman's belly is high and she is clearly a pregnant woman.
Bai Youwei couldn't help but wonder: Has the child in her stomach turned into a little doll? Is it also plastic skin, eyeballs with glass beads, and hair with chemical filaments? What did they encounter the moment they became dolls? Is it possible that the body cannot move, but the consciousness is sober?
This thought made her shudder.
She looked back and stopped looking.
"Ding! Welcome to the doll game! The theme of this game is" Turtle and Rabbit Race ", the rules are as follows:
One, refuse to turn the game into a doll!
Second, the game fails and becomes a doll!
Third, the game clearance reward dolls! ... "
An unfamiliar voice sounded in his ears, and the sound quality was like a sound of nature, Bai Youwei froze.
"Hello, did you hear ..." She was about to ask Shen Mo in front, but her vision was filled with a layer of mist, the next moment, the blue sky and white clouds, the endless green grass!
what happened? !
Bai Youwei looked at the scene in amazement.
She was still sitting in Shen Mo's car a second ago, but at this moment she was sitting on a green lawn!
And the same as the fellow riders! Everyone was stunned at the runway outside the lawn, where a giant screen banner was conspicuously hung, with four large characters printed on it very exaggerated-
Turtle, rabbit, race, run!
Unpopular subject matter, I'm already mentally prepared, I will take it seriously and raise it up to adulthood, and I will work hard to give it to my old mother ~~~ If you can see the heroes of all walks, please stay and accompany me A round ~ (Fisting)
