Evening, home.
Zhang Xiaoman was sitting at the dining table and feasting. The two dogs and a cat next to him were squatting on the ground and looking at him intently. They would chirp a few times to show that they also wanted to eat.
Although he has long been accustomed to the feeling of being watched while eating, Zhang Xiaoman still sometimes can't bear the pitiful gaze and throws a few pieces of food to feed them.
Seeing the greedy expressions on the faces of these three little guys, he helplessly picked up a few pieces of fish from the bowl and threw them in front of them one by one. There was a tail wagging under the table.
Looking at the big crucian carp with reed flowers in the bowl in front of him, Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but think of the scene when he obtained the system. I remember that he ate this system from the belly of the crucian carp made by his mother. Who would have thought that just over a month later, his life would have changed so drastically.
Beside, the TV in the living room was playing today's news.
"Recently, a serious natural gas leak occurred at Huangkou Hospital in Magnolia City. The incident caused a large number of injuries to people in the hospital and the death of some individuals..."
"As soon as the incident occurred, soldiers from the 23rd Battalion stationed in Magnolia City received the order and immediately rushed to the scene to launch emergency rescue work..."
"While rescuing the affected people, the soldiers worked hard to find the source of the leak. Finally, they found the source in time, curbed the development of the situation, and successfully saved a large number of people..."
Zhang Xiaoman looked at what was playing on the TV and was not very surprised.
Thinking about this kind of thing, you know that it is impossible to say it directly. I just don’t know how much those who have experienced it on the spot know.
"The reason for natural gas leakage is not bad... But didn't this happen the day before yesterday? Is it too late to report it today? I don't know what it has been posted on the Internet throughout the whole day."
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaoman suddenly became interested and planned to check out the latest news on this matter.
Speaking of which, he hasn't been online for a long time. Ever since he went to Rebirth Island, there was no signal for 15 days. In addition, he hasn't stopped since he came back. He didn't even play with his mobile phone during this period.
Taking out the new mobile phone he just bought yesterday, Zhang Xiaoman first looked at the homepages of several search engines. There was nothing about Huangkou Hospital in the hot headlines until he scrolled back several times. page, and then I saw relevant reports in a corner.
The content inside is the same as what was said on the TV news just now, that this incident was caused by a natural gas leak. Zhang Xiaoman looked at the date and saw that it had just been sent out, and the heat hadn't risen yet.
After closing this window, he entered a series of addresses again. This was the local forum that he often logged in before. In addition to the special supernatural section, there were also some comprehensive discussion areas, which were usually filled with idle and boring topics. The old man is there talking nonsense about everything from road rage disputes to international situations.
Zhang Xiaoman only discovered this place before going to Rebirth Island. He would occasionally go in to see the excitement when he was going to the toilet or when he had nothing to do.
As soon as he opened the section on the first page, Zhang Xiaoman found what he was looking for, a post called "The Truth About Huangkou Hospital".
Zhang Xiaoman was very curious about what this man meant by the truth, so he immediately clicked in to check.
The poster is an account named "Wandering Magnolia". In the first sentence of his post, he wrote in eye-catching font, "The truth about Huangkou Hospital, I have personal experience!"
Zhang Xiaoman then looked down.
"The poster is a single young man who works in Magnolia City. He is 28 years old and has a monthly salary of 8,000. He has a house at home and no car. He plans to develop here. He hopes to find a female partner and have a relationship with the purpose of getting married. love..."
Zhang Xiaoman scrolled down with a dark face. There were a lot of marriage advertisements in front of him, so he skipped them directly.
After a selfie of the poster, what follows is the main text of this article.
"It happened the morning before yesterday. I went to Huangkou Hospital to get a sick leave because I had a fever. I finally got there by subway. Who knew there were so many outpatients, so I went to the specialist clinic for a few dozen yuan. , it’s just gone…”
"The building for the specialist clinic is in the back building, I think it's Building 10..."
"At that time, I was walking inside with the sick note. I thought I could get the sick note smoothly and then go home and sleep all day. But something happened that I never expected. Already..."
Zhang Xiaoman looked at the posts posted by this person. He basically typed one sentence at a time, so he had already inserted a lot of replies in the middle, such as "Waiting for updates in the front row" and "Sending warmth from the host community". "And so on, it has been inserted much better.
Wandering Magnolia continued to write: "There was a very wide corridor between the two buildings I was going to. When I just left the registration hall, I suddenly heard a shrill cry. The sound was like It was like it came directly from my brain, it was very scary! It shocked me so much that my eyes went black and I almost fainted!"
The following is also mixed with a reply from a netizen: "The original poster suffered a powerful mental attack and his SAN value was reduced by 100 points. All departments should pay attention. The original poster has become an evil mutant minion. He will be killed!"
Immediately afterwards, there was another reply from Wandering Magnolia.
"I barely managed to stand firm, and my mind felt dizzy, as if someone had hit me with a sledgehammer. The next terrifying scene happened, and when I looked up again, I found that right there In the direction in front of me where I wanted to go, everyone there fell down, and no one was left standing!!"
"What are you doing, Master? Are you telling a supernatural story?"
"The poster went to the wrong place, please go back to my supernormal section!"
…
"I remember it very clearly. When I looked back, there were also people lying on the ground behind me. A few people standing like me were covering their heads, looking like they were in pain."
…
"I was so scared at the time. I didn't know what it was. It felt like someone was screaming in my head, like a mental attack in a movie, or like those legendary black-tech ultrasonic weapons. I didn't know what it was. What, it must be very dangerous!"
…
"I feel that I am definitely not the NPC supporting character in those movies. When encountering such a weird and terrifying situation, I have to get close to find out... So I ran away as soon as possible! And I am also very happy that I made the decision this time s Choice!"
"Because just when I was about to run out of the hospital, that horrible scream came again! But maybe because I ran farther, the pain this time was not as strong as the last time. Otherwise, I would have been the same. They are the same!"
…
"Where's the host? What happens next?"
"Update it quickly! If you don't update it, I'll send you the blade!"
"..."
Below is another lot of ridicule from netizens, but it took some time for "Wandering Magnolia" to reply this time. Zhang Xiaoman flipped back a few pages before finding the content behind it.
"I just took a call from a friend who asked me to go on a blind date. Let's continue..."
"As a protagonist with an online IQ, I cleverly ran several streets outside Huangkou Hospital before stopping. Then I found a higher-up Simbak and sat by the window to see what was going on there. What."
At this time, someone else replied: "Master, don't forget to take the cup with you when you leave. You can fill it with boiled water and take it with you next time you go to the company!"
"The hero upstairs sees the same thing."
…
Wandering Magnolia continued: "At first, rows of police drove past, but after more than an hour, the road below was suddenly blocked and the road cleared. Then I saw what was on the news. That second and third battalion you’re talking about!”
"This is the first time I have seen the army so close. The formation was so domineering! When I saw the armored vehicles, I regretted not joining the army!"
"But I can't see what happened next here, but I can be sure that what happened at the beginning was definitely not a natural gas leak! I always remember that terrifying sound, as if it was imprinted in my mind. I still feel a little pain!"
"As for the specific cause of this incident, I can't say, but I did hear a gunshot, a big one, it felt like it was coming from a sniper rifle..."
"The above is my personal experience, absolutely true!"
"Okay, let's not talk anymore. The host is going on a blind date. Wish me good luck..."
When Zhang Xiaoman saw this, he found that there was no longer any reply from the "Wandering Magnolia" account. Below are the heated discussions among some netizens.
"It's over, it's over. Now after reading water meters, delivering express delivery, and delivering warmth, do you have a new routine? Blind date... I really can't refuse this!"
"The original poster has lost contact and may be drinking tea now..."
"Actually, I think this incident may really be related to the supernatural. Have you forgotten the skylight incident and flash incident that happened before?"
"Is what you're talking about upstairs the vision above Qionghua Market, and the flash of light that everyone saw four nights ago? But didn't I hear that one was a mirage and the other was a mirage? Is the sun shining? How could it be a supernatural event?"
"Haha, brother, you are so naive. What kind of mirage have you seen that can cover a hundred kilometers in radius? It is even more impossible to have a dazzling sun. I was still sleeping at the time, but I could still see that flash of light. What do you think? Can the dazzling sun come into my dream and wake me up?"
"Okay, okay, stop arguing! Today is the day when the King of Heaven is here, and it is also the revival of spiritual energy! I am sensing the energy now, and I will wake up soon. Then I will give you a live broadcast that will tear apart the space. Veterans, please remember to come and support me.”
"..."
Looking at the pile of increasingly crooked comments below, Zhang Xiaoman felt a little bit dumbfounded.
He flipped through some of the posts from the past few days, and found out that during the days he was disconnected from the Internet, the discussion on the Internet about recent events was really very lively, with the momentum of the Mayan prophecies.
Zhang Xiaoman discovered that some of these people were indeed talking about what they said, such as the dark world, spiritual energy recovery and so on. But knowing the truth, he understood that these were actually wrong, what they all said...
Too optimistic...
The reason is simple. Whether it is spiritual energy recovery or the dark world, these are all fantasies based on the same premise. That is that human beings possess and control extraordinary power! But the reality is that during this great fusion, humans have not awakened any extraordinary abilities...
In other words, ordinary people will have no ability to resist when facing various monsters in the future.
This is very cruel and terrifying. It not only directly breaks the illusions of many people, but also puts mankind in a very dangerous zone in this upcoming great integration. After all, the real armed forces only occupy A few tenths of the world's total population.
Not only that, many of these monsters from another singularity can restrain human technological power, such as the fog heart that can create fog...
So now that he calculated this, Zhang Xiaoman immediately felt that the pressure on himself was much greater. The establishment of the Star Alliance must also speed up and start in a big way, and the expected scale must be further increased, otherwise it will only be just It could just be self-protection.
After thinking about this, Zhang Xiaoman couldn't help but feel even more anxious. He only wanted to go to the original world to master the techniques of using the Spirit Enlightenment Array, and even browsed most of the forum.
After closing the web page, he suddenly received a call from Mr. Liu.
The content of the call between the two was very simple. Mr. Liu expressed that he wanted to make a big deal out of his family, and asked Zhang Xiaoman to send the dog to him at noon tomorrow, along with two old geese from Meihua Road. He didn’t mention anything else at all. . It can be seen that Liu Ye is still very cautious, as if he has never seen him in Ice Dragon Province at all.
After hanging up the phone, my mother walked out of the room, holding a notebook in her hand, and stuffed it into Zhang Xiaoman's arms.
Looking at the things in his hands, Zhang Xiaoman was a little confused and asked strangely: "Mom, what is this? What is it for?"
Mom pursed her lips at him and motioned for him to open it and take a look.
Zhang Xiaoman did as he was told, but he was a little dumbfounded the moment he opened the notebook. It was filled with densely written words. At a glance, he saw that they were all about "framework", "entity" and "system". , making him even more confused.
"Mom, what are all these? Why are you writing these things?"
When his mother heard this, she rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "Of course these are management strategies. Aren't you going to build an organization? Didn't you say you were going to create a star alliance? Do you think you can just recruit two people? Can you make the organization run by just bragging a few words? Don't be naive, take a good look at this when you have time, this is the secret book your mother wrote for you."
