It’s 2023 AD, it’s three o’clock in the morning, and the location is Jincheng South Road, Tianfu.
A road spans the distance of the night. Both sides of the road are lined with white birch trees. It is summer, and the night wind is gently blowing the birch trees, making a rustling sound, making the night seem particularly silent.
The only motorcycle was driving fast.
Suddenly, a phone ringing broke the silent night.
The motorcycle gradually stopped.
"Ling'er, be safe when you're out alone. It's dark at night. Drive slowly!" An elderly voice came from the other side of the phone.
"I know, Mom, it's so late, go to bed." The reply sounded a little bored.
After hanging up the phone, the motorcycle started speeding again.
…
At this time, Zhang Ling was riding a motorcycle. Others said that learning was boundless and should be extremely exciting, but he thought that he had spent the first half of his life in a miserable state. It's not that he is just like a young man who spends all his time idle and not doing his job. On the contrary, Zhang Ling can be said to be diligent and diligent, because he learns everything but is not interested in anything. Facing the boring life, he always sighs. He is as self-righteous as an old man who has seen through everything.
Facing such a world, Zhang Ling was like a walking zombie, with no trace of the brightness of a young man in his eyes. However, Zhang Ling was so handsome that his appearance showed no signs of depression in his heart.
At this time, Zhang Ling still didn't know that a strange incident of unknown fate was quietly approaching.
An outer space observation room in the Ministry of Defense. At this moment, the staff inside seemed very anxious. On the big screen in the observation room, a meteorite was falling towards the earth.
This meteorite is not big at all. The system has detected that its diameter is about thirteen meters. The reason why everyone is so anxious is because this meteorite is hitting a city. If it only hits a mountainous area, No one would care at all, but judging from the current situation, it was obviously heading towards the place where the crowds of people were rushing. Moreover, the texture of this meteorite is very hard. I don’t know what kind of material it is. It cannot be destroyed at all, and even its trajectory cannot be changed.
"Minister, the hardness of the meteorite is beyond expectations. Even laser weapons cannot break it. What should we do now?" Faced with such a helpless situation, a staff member of the Ministry of National Defense began to ask others, but he still did not turn his head. Go ahead and fulfill your duties as an important weapon of a great country.
It is the first time for people here to be helpless in the face of a meteorite. The middle-aged man called the Minister was calm and composed, thinking for only a moment, and then immediately commanded: "Correspondent, start contacting the local government and order them to evacuate people immediately."
The communicator is connecting.
When the call was connected, a cough came from the other end of the communicator: "Call late at night, I don't know what the leader's instructions are."
"There is a meteorite falling towards Jincheng South Road. I order you to immediately evacuate all personnel nearby." Minister of Defense said righteously.
Jincheng officials, who were quite lazy at first, immediately got excited when they heard that a meteorite was about to fall. Although it had nothing to do with him that some things would be destroyed by then, if he had been reminded by the above, it would have been caused by his lazy attitude. If there are casualties, his iron rice bowl will have to be a porcelain rice bowl.
Then, he immediately turned on all the surveillance cameras on that section of South Road. He was still a little lucky when he suddenly saw a red motorcycle speeding past a camera.
Seeing that there were still people on the road, he hurriedly turned on the radio near South Road: "If you don't sleep at night, if you are racing now, you are looking for death!"
While turning on the radio, I also did not forget to complain.
Then he wanted to quickly shout on the radio...
But before he could give the notice, the motorcycle stopped because the ground was already covered in red. The cyclist took off his helmet, revealing a delicate face, and this person was Zhang Ling.
He watched the light gradually brighten on the ground, and felt more and more strange. It was so late at night, and it was already dawn? It's only around three in the morning. Then he raised his head again, looked at the sky, and found a meteorite hitting his position. Seeing this scene, Zhang Ling was stunned for a moment, and then immediately turned the motorcycle around.
"This kind of thing can happen to me." Looking at such a sudden scene, Zhang Ling couldn't help but turn pale.
After turning the car around, Zhang Ling immediately started to ignite the car and run away. The meteorite was getting closer and closer to the ground. At this time, Zhang Ling was very scared. A person who has lived an ordinary and uneventful life for more than twenty years suddenly faces a big explosion. Only he can understand this feeling.
And just ten seconds after Zhang Ling started driving, the meteorite fell to the ground, hitting Zhang Ling directly behind him a few meters away. Suddenly, sparks shot into the sky, seeming to burn everything. When the meteorite fell, although it did not hit Zhang Ling directly, the aftermath caused Zhang Ling to be knocked over.
Bang! Only the sound of the motorcycle falling to the ground was heard, and it slid more than ten meters along the ground.
After Zhang Ling was overturned by the aftermath, he hit a birch tree and fell to the ground seriously injured. In pain, he gradually fainted.
It rained all night in Tianfu. At this moment, the sky started to rain. The rain became heavier and heavier. The high temperature and red light on the surface of the meteorite gradually receded, leaving only a meteorite and the deep crater that was smashed. Zhang Ling was also struck by this sudden impact. Covered by torrential rain.
Although the surveillance and broadcasting systems near Zhang Ling were destroyed by the meteorite, the Jincheng official called the police in time. His colleagues contacted the local Municipal People's Hospital. He was also very nervous at this time. This was not a kindness on his part, but the scene happened to be captured by surveillance cameras, and he did not remind Zhang Ling in time. If something happened, he could not guarantee it.
Time passed. A few hours later, ambulances and police cars arrived one after another. The scene was directly maintained and people circulated. When such an incident happened, the meteorite should have been surrounded by people. The police were worried that the meteorite might contain radiation, so they evacuated. of passing people and vehicles. Zhang Ling was also carried into the ambulance and sent to the hospital.
In the critical isolation room of Jincheng People's Hospital, medical staff were worried that Zhang Ling might be infected by radiation, so they chose to bring him here for treatment.
"Multiple rib fractures and excessive blood loss resulted in severe injuries and coma. First, stop the bleeding, reset the broken bones, and finally transfuse blood." A doctor touched Zhang Ling's body and told several other doctors.
Several doctors nodded in agreement and then began a series of rescue work.
Time passed minute by second. Facing Zhang Ling, whose life was in danger at all times, several doctors tensed up both emotionally and physically. When Zhang Ling was found seriously injured, the police contacted Zhang Ling through the ID information on Zhang Ling's body. When it came to Zhang Ling's mother, after hearing that Zhang Ling's accident happened, Zhang Ling's mother's heart exploded like thunder, and she rushed to the hospital without saying a word.
The passage of time has not changed, but every minute is a torment for Zhang Ling and his mother. Zhang Ling is an only child and his family is not wealthy, so his father has been working for many years. For his parents, He said that Zhang Ling was everything to them, and for Zhang Ling, this was probably the motivation for him to study hard and live because he was tired of life.
In the intensive care isolation room, several doctors were busy. Zhang Ling was in critical condition, but he was in a semi-conscious state. He could clearly feel the pain from the fractures.
Seeing Zhang Ling's painful appearance, the doctor gave him an injection of anesthetic.
Two hours later, several doctors came out of the intensive care isolation room one after another. They looked at a woman in her forties with a very serious expression sitting on the chairs on both sides of the hospital.
Then the woman asked the doctor walking in front: "How is Zhang Ling?" Her expression was full of worry.
From the question, the doctor subconsciously thought that the woman was a family member of the patient. Then he explained unhurriedly: "The patient was seriously injured, but he is now out of danger and has not been found to have been exposed to any radiation. You can go in for a visit, but please keep your voice down and don't disturb the patient's rest."
Hearing this, Zhang Ling's mother also breathed a sigh of relief. It could be seen that her worried heart finally relaxed. Then she walked into the intensive care isolation room and looked at Zhang Ling who was lying there, with worry on her face. The smoke also gradually dissipated.
She walked to the stool next to Zhang Ling's hospital bed and sat down, then held Zhang Ling's hand. Although it was summer, she could clearly feel the coldness of Zhang Ling's hands. She didn't do anything more, just mouthed He was still mumbling the names of his children. The so-called best friend is the parents. She knew Zhang Ling's character, so she and Zhang Ling's father had never asked Zhang Ling to be successful. They only hoped that their son could live with a smile.
Zhang Ling was on the hospital bed and heard someone calling his name.
"Zhang Ling."
