Chapter 1 (1/2)
Place: An Unknown Room in An Unknown city in Hua Xia Country
Time: Hua Xia, Year 3015
A Chilly Autumn wind. Ye Feng was alone, leaning on the windowsill. He breathed in the bitter smoke, a nicotine taste reaching the back of his throat. Ye Feng coughed until his nerves were a bit numb.
Morning, the first sunlit ray sshone through the sky. Unconsciously, he had leaned on the window for the whole night.
Thinking about the break up with his girlfriend yesterday, it had upset Ye Feng for the entire night. Now, he was distraught, blankly staring at the people on the street running here and there… Ye Fang snapped to. Adding it up with the lovelorn feeling, suddenly, he became p.i.s.sed and cursed, “On such great morning, mornig s.h.i.+ft or not, is it necessary for you to run as if their lives depended on it? Tch…like the rush for reincarnation….”
Eh, wait a minute…
Ye Feng felt strange, so he glanced up and carefully looked at the street. As a result, the scene he laid eyes on frightened him, and that was because he found out that all people on the street were acting as if they were hopped up on drugs. Everyone was fleeing like crazy; and at the back, some people were even covered in blood.
“Are they filming a movie?” Ye Feng wondered.
“Whatever, what does a film have to do with me?” The sadness didn’t allow him to think much now.
“Fine, fine, film your movie. It's none of my business anyway; even if the world ends, so what? …” Ye Feng was too lazy to think much. After he finished talking, he laid on the bed and fell asleep….
Because Ye Feng just wanted to sleep, maybe it would help to forget all his pain.
At this moment, atop of a large building outside the window, the display screen suddenly showed an emergency notice. A beautiful woman frowned and said, “Greetings, citizens. I represent the highest cla.s.s of Hua Xia in announcing this emergency notice! Right now, in the whole of humanity, an unknown virus has suddenly appeared. It is spreading rapidly and is far above the imagination of Hua Xia's government. Please do not panic though. Scientists are urgently researching a cure, so please wait… and do not randomly move around, because once you are infected, currently, you cannot be cured. In addition, do not touch any infected people. I repeat, do not move around and touch…”
The sound was cut, “Ba ta”, and the screen went black.
H City; in A Very Huge High-Cla.s.s Government Building:
In a dark, enclosed room, seven to eight people wearing military uniforms sat at a table.
n.o.body spoke; the atmosphere, intense.
After a while, a middle-aged man spoke seriously, “Everyone is here to talk about the current situation at hand. I think everyone should have already been briefed. The virus's infection rate has already surpa.s.sed our expectations. It is already NTH times the original speed. If this continues, the infected people will increase, and then humanity will be extinct….”
When the middle-aged man paused, everyone was silent; they lowered their heads and thought deeply.
It seemed like the atmosphere became even more depressing. The middle-aged man coughed on purpose, wanting to ease the surroundings, and continued to say, “But everyone, don’t despair. Against such a disastrous virus, scientists of the United Nations are now researching a cure, and I think that we will have results soon.”
“Leader, I want to know, how long will it take to complete a cure or a vaccination?” One of a man asked, looking displeased.
The man known as Leader calmly answered, “If without any accidents, I believe in a few months we will have the result-”
