"The beginning of the apocalypse, the death of humanity?"
Recalling the bald old professor's words in his dream, Yang Fan softly uttered these words.
According to Professor Zhao, the year 2040 was actually the beginning of the apocalypse. The time seemed to be August or September, when the summer was at its peak.
As for how it happened, the old professor seemed to have explained it, but Wang Zhe was distracted at the time and did not listen carefully.
The main body of Yang Fan's memory was Wang Zhe. Wang Zhe's thoughts and feelings in the dream could all be deeply experienced by Yang Fan. As for the voice he could not hear, Yang Fan could not recall it no matter how hard he tried, even if this matter was incomparably important to Yang Fan.
On the other hand, Wang Zhe's sadness, anger, hatred, and unwillingness were all completely imprinted in Yang Fan's mind. Even if Yang Fan was now completely awake, he still could not completely shake off the influence of that sad memory.
"I didn't expect that cool Professor Wang Zhe to be a student of the Federation Martial Arts University. No wonder he reached Level 9 Martial Master at such a young age."
Yang Fan sighed softly. "What a pity. Although he was lucky enough to avoid the destruction of Salt City, he still lost his life in the destruction of West Chu City in the end. Revenge and whatnot are hopeless in the end."
In the apocalypse, if one did not have enough strength, even their own survival was a problem. How could they talk about revenge?
"Tens of thousands of airplanes were shot down, the train tracks between the cities were all destroyed, causing countless casualties …"
"… The pets in the city suddenly gathered and rioted. All kinds of pets that were originally on the verge of awakening awakened almost at the same time, one after another showing their sharp fangs to their owners …"
"… The human population base shrank from 12 billion to 8 billion. Almost 4 billion people were eaten by beasts in those two days …"
Recalling some of Professor Zhao's descriptions of the beginning of the apocalypse, Yang Fan felt a chill run down his spine.
All over the world, at the same time, airplanes crashed, trains derailed, and long-distance transportation systems were all destroyed. How could there be such a coincidence? Who would believe that this was an unorganized and unpremeditated global uprising?
There were some things that Professor Zhao did not explain clearly, such as whether the road transportation was safe, whether the sea transportation was smooth, and whether satellite communications were affected. Most importantly, the specific time, month, and day of the incident was very vague. Even if Yang Fan knew in advance that such a day would come, with his current ability, he would not be able to stop it.
Moreover, these things that happened in the early stages were not even worth mentioning compared to the pet riot at the end.
In just two days, the human population had been reduced by close to a third. Four billion innocent lives had been lost to the beasts; just the thought of it was enough to make one's scalp crawl.
"No! We can't drag this out any longer! "
"The Pet Slaying Order is only being tested in Chengdu, which is far from enough. We have to find a way to implement it throughout the country and even the world as soon as possible! The same tragedy cannot happen a second time! "
Yang Fan was burning with anxiety. He really did not have much time left. It was already summer vacation. God knew if the historical tragedy mentioned by the old professor in his dream would happen tomorrow.
"Master, what's wrong with you? Why do you look so pale? Did you have a nightmare? "
Yang Guo saw that Yang Fan had been sitting there blankly after waking up from his dream, as if he had been possessed. He could not help but ask softly.
"Nothing!" Yang Fan returned to his senses and glanced at Yang Guo. Then, he looked at Zhu Caiwei, who was still lying on the hospital bed and had not woken up. He whispered, "Take care of your senior. I'm going out to make a call!"
Yang Fan stood up and reached for his mobile phone in his pocket. He was about to go out when Yang Guo reached out and stopped him.
"I was just about to tell you. Just half an hour ago, the whole city was disconnected from the Internet. There was no signal on mobile phones and wireless networks! If you want to make a call, you'd better try the landline. "
Yang Guo's voice was crisp and sweet, but her words were like a deep water bomb in Yang Fan's ears, exploding in his mind.
His expression abruptly changed as he grabbed the little girl's shoulder and asked, "What did you say? The whole city was disconnected from the Internet, and all the mobile phones had no signal? "
"Master!" Yang Guo frowned and complained to Yang Fan in a delicate voice, "You're hurting me!"
Yang Fan quickly let go of his hands and did not ask her again. Instead, he picked up his phone and tried to contact Qin Peirou. In the end, all he heard was a busy tone.
There was really no signal?
Damn it, it couldn't be so coincidental, right?
Yang Fan was burning with anxiety. He was worried that the global riot that Professor Zhao had mentioned would happen today!
"If there's no signal, then there's no signal. Maybe the communication company is trying to repair the base station. It's not like this hasn't happened before." Yang Guo pouted. She didn't understand why her master was so nervous.
Could it be that his Internet addiction was acting up?
She heard from Sister Caiwei that her master used to be an otaku.
"Something is indeed not right." At this moment, Zhou Xiao suddenly pushed the door open and came in. He looked a little nervous. "I went out to ask around just now. Whether it's the landline, mobile phones, optical computers, wires, or wireless networks, there's no signal at all."
"Moreover, although the ambulance calls are not working, the number of patients in the emergency room on the first floor has increased in the past half an hour. There are already police officers patrolling the streets to maintain order. Obviously, something big must have happened in the city. It's just that there hasn't been any news so far …"
Boom!!
A violent tremor suddenly came. The huge sound wave came from afar, shaking the entire medical building three times. Although the glass on the windows did not shatter, nearly seventy percent of them had cracks.
Something exploded!
Zhou Xiao's mind was in a daze from the tremor. Her body swayed on the spot, and she began to lose her sense of direction.
Zhu Caiwei, who had been unconscious on the hospital bed, was shaken by such a violent tremor. She groaned softly and woke up from her deep sleep. She sat up abruptly and looked around blankly, not knowing what had happened.
Yang Guo did not care about what was happening outside. He hurried to the bed and gently supported her back. He said happily, "Sister Caiwei, you're finally awake!"
Yang Fan, on the other hand, was not too affected by the explosion. After determining the direction of the explosion, he moved to the window and casually pulled open the curtains. Through the cracked glass in front of the window, he looked north.
The ward they were in was on the twenty-sixth floor. There was almost no building taller than it. The view was wide, and they could clearly see everything beyond the floor.
As far as Yang Fan's eyes could see, his pupils constricted.
Not far away, about two to three kilometers away, a civil aircraft crashed into a residential building. The thunderous explosion just now came from that aircraft.
Half of the fuselage was blown up, and three floors of the residential building had collapsed. Flames overflowed and thick smoke billowed. Even though they were a few kilometers away, Yang Fan could faintly hear the screams of the survivors inside, as well as the billowing heat waves.
On the streets outside, pedestrians were fleeing in all directions. The sound of police sirens resounded throughout the entire city. The streets of Chengdu had already become a mess.
"If all of this is not a coincidence, the apocalypse may really be coming!"
Yang Fan's breathing became a little heavy. The suffocating feeling made him a little breathless.
Although he knew from the beginning that this day would come, this was the general trend, and no one could stop it. However, he had never imagined that this day would come so quickly and so suddenly.
Without hesitation, Yang Fan suddenly turned to look at Yang Guo and Zhu Caiwei. "Since you are awake, hurry up and pack up. Let's go back to the Special Affairs Bureau!"
The nature of the work of the Special Affairs Bureau was special. They should have some unconventional means of communication. Yang Fan wanted to spread the news that the world's pets were about to awaken and riot as soon as possible!
Four billion human beings could not be allowed to die like this without feeling anything!
"Yes, yes, yes. Let's go back to the Special Affairs Bureau!" Zhou Xiao was also shocked by the tragic scene outside the window. He nodded and agreed. "It's very chaotic outside now. It's not safe to stay here! We have an underground safe house in the Special Affairs Bureau. It's said that it can even withstand a nuclear explosion. It's very safe! "
Even the aircraft had fallen from the sky. If it was not an accident, then it must have been a terrorist attack. Zhou Xiao was keenly aware that danger seemed to be approaching. He was eager to find a relatively safe place to hide.
And the Special Affairs Bureau was undoubtedly the best choice. He had worked there for two years and was very familiar with the safety facilities inside.
Yang Fan looked at him speechlessly. He was too lazy to explain more to him. Seeing that Zhu Caiwei was able to walk freely, he stepped forward and pulled his two disciples out of the door.
Zhou Xiao and Floret, who had been silent, followed closely behind them.
