MTL - Natural Disaster Apocalypse-Chapter 4

The torrential rain has been falling for more than ten days. When the rain became lighter and the sky began to clear up in many places, many people breathed a sigh of relief. If this rainy day does not pass, there will be no dry clothes to wear. Moreover, it rains every day, and the damp in the house is serious, and there is a sticky moisture everywhere.

Many people who were unable to go out to work because of the heavy rain also started to get busy again, and their lives seemed to return to normal after the rain stopped.

Mu Nan leaned on the bed, looking at the sunlight coming in from the outside, but he was not as relaxed as others. How he wished that when he woke up tomorrow morning, the smog from the previous life would not hit the city, and the sunshine would still be there. Just ordinary flu, all his preparations were in vain.

It's a pity that the end of the world is coming, and there is no deviation.

When it was still daylight, many workers who got up early realized that something was wrong. The fog was so thick that people couldn't see each other's appearance even if they were a little farther away. But even if they felt strange, these people didn't think about it in other ways. Although the dense fog was a bit heavier, it was not something they had never seen before, so there was no need to be too surprised.

When Mu Nan woke up, the room was still dark. He took out his phone and checked the time. It was nine o'clock in the morning, but he didn't unlock his phone to surf the Internet. Instead, he sat by the bed and looked at the curtains without any light coming in. It sank little by little.

His family lives on the seventeenth floor, which is quite high. Looking down from the balcony of his house, it was foggy, and he couldn't see the buildings opposite him, and he couldn't see the small green garden downstairs. As far as he could see, there was a thick fog The fog is no different from the previous life.

Mu Nan carefully checked the doors and windows again, closed the curtains, put on a mask again, went to the next door to take a look, and saw that the chickens on the balcony of Qinhuai's house were still pecking food in good spirits, and then returned home.

Mu Nan made a simple breakfast for herself, one egg, two slices of toast, two slices of bacon, and a glass of milk. Although I feel a little depressed, I still have to eat what I should eat, but I may not eat as much as usual.

While eating breakfast, he turned on his phone, and several of the usually active groups on his phone were already chatting 999+, and Mu Nan clicked on any of them to discuss the thick fog outside.

Someone said with surprise and inexplicable excitement that they had never seen such a thick fog when they grew up, which was a bit exciting.

Some people are lamenting that this year is really too difficult. First, it was raining heavily and it was hard to go out. It finally cleared up one day. Looking at the strange thick fog, they dare not go out even more. They don’t have anything to eat if they don’t go to work.

There are also people taking real photos outside, shooting dense fog and some car accidents caused by dense fog, and then posting them to various online platforms to earn clicks.

Mu Nan quit those chat groups, looked at Weibo, and the topic of dense fog has become the most popular topic, not only in their city, but also in many cities at the same time, even in many foreign countries. If the area of ​​fog is only in a single area, it can also be said to be caused by the climate, but it can be found both at home and abroad, so this is a big problem.

However, some official microblogs did not say too much, but only reminded people to pay attention to safety when traveling, and try not to go out if they can not go out. Due to the thick fog blocking the line of sight, many car accidents and accidents have been caused in various places.

Mu Nan sat on the bed in a daze for a while, and the light of the purifiers at home gradually changed from red to blue. He didn't know if these air purifiers were useful, but he felt that turning them on like this would make people feel more at ease.

After sitting for a while, Mu Nan started to find something to do for himself. The smog lasted for a long time. It is impossible for him to stay at home for a long time without doing anything. There are still a lot of ingredients in his space, which can be slowly made into finished products. He didn't have time to do it before, he just bought the corresponding equipment, but now he can follow the tutorial to make some dried meat and other foods that are convenient to eat and can replenish energy.

When preparing to make jerky, Mu Nan noticed a mountain of Chinese cabbage piled up in a corner, which he specially went to the production area to buy. In order to collect these cabbages, it was a bit of a struggle at that time. When he was about to collect Chinese cabbage, Mu Nan had already planned to make kimchi, but he was busy shopping everywhere and didn’t have time to make it. Now that he saw it, he naturally remembered his kimchi plan. I searched for a kimchi box I bought a long time ago. After taking out all the ingredients, I played a movie and started making kimchi while listening to the background sound of the computer.

Making kimchi is a labor-intensive job, and he doesn’t have any exclusive secret recipes. The taste he made according to the tutorials on the Internet is quite good. He likes spicy food, so he gave a lot of chili peppers. Looking at the boxes of red and white kimchi, Mu Nan, who has been busy for almost a day, still has a sense of accomplishment.

Because space and time are constant, Mu Nan piled the kimchi in the kitchen, intending to store it for a few days, and then put it in the space after being well marinated by time.

She was busy until it was almost six o'clock before Mu Nan cleaned up the house, opened the curtains and took a look outside. It used to be bright at six o'clock in the past, and there was still sunset at six o'clock in summer, but now the outside You can't see the black fingers. When Mu Nan heard someone on their floor come back from the outside, the house was too quiet, so he would amplify the sound from the outside, sometimes he could even hear the sound of other people's cooking in the living room.

Although this kind of quietness is already normal for Mu Nan, at this special moment, he still can't help but feel a sense of loneliness. Looking at the computer that doesn't know when the playback will end, Mu Nan finds a Although the old variety show was several years ago, the number of episodes is long and noisy, which can more or less dispel the loneliness of some lonely families.

After dinner, I rested for a while, watched the show, watched the hot chat groups, and discussed the topic of smog on the Internet. In addition, the pneumonia epidemic did not seem to have spread yet. Watching other people Ignorant, some complain that they have to go to work in this weird weather, some are glad that they can rest at home in this smoggy day, and some in the alumni group are crying and complaining that they are trapped in school because of rushing to finish, lonely and lonely in the dormitory. Fear. Mu Nan doesn't know how long the current peace can last, it really is one day less.

I don't want to immerse myself in other people's complaints. Some news can be infected and irritating if I read too much, so Mu Nan put on headphones and played music and got on the treadmill. When I was tired from running, I didn't dream at night. dawn.

Before the smog cleared the next day, many people realized that something was wrong. The most news was the traffic inconvenience caused by the thick smog, but no explanation was given for the source of the thick smog. Bricks who have always talked a lot, this time there is no one who speaks out. In addition, some foreign situations that I could see yesterday can’t be checked now. It is said that some Internet police have begun to clear the Internet. Inciting remarks were blocked, and even his WeChat group seemed to be missing a few, probably because someone posted some inappropriate remarks and the group was blocked.

Fortunately, Mu Nan's alumni group is still there, but everyone is a lot more careful in what they say, and try to avoid some sensitive topics.

Someone posted some results of today's battle in the group. Seeing that the thick fog hadn't cleared in the morning, they went to the supermarket with their family to buy some goods. They almost couldn't fit in the car. When they got home, they put them out. The scene was still quite spectacular.

Some people are complaining that the parents who usually need to give up their seats on the bus are like fighter jets in the supermarket today. Those who are full of combat power even young people will shy away from them, and those who are rampant are not afraid that an old bone will fall apart.

People are saying some doomsday words on the Internet, but in fact, few people really believe it, but even if they do believe it, not many people dare to put all their eggs in one basket to stock up now.

The news is still shouting, saying that the national inventory is sufficient, and I hope everyone will not blindly follow the trend to stock up on goods. In order to show the authenticity of this statement, many videos of shopping malls buying goods have been released, indicating that the supply of goods is sufficient, and everyone should not panic.

And many popular products in the supermarket, after the shelves are empty, new ones are quickly placed on the shelves, which really reassures some panic-stricken people who want to stock up more. However, what Mu Nan noticed was not the shelves, but some of the staff in the photos. Even though those people are not wearing protective clothing, they are wearing masks and face shields. It seems that the country should be preparing policies to deal with pneumonia. It's just that when things haven't exploded on a large scale, no one probably thought that things would become so serious.

Some people go over the wall to see the situation in foreign countries. The situation in foreign countries is much more serious than in China. The national power of their country is still very strong, and the binding force on the people is obviously stronger than that in foreign countries. In foreign countries, people pay more attention to their own human rights, especially if there is no arms control, it is a mess.

It is said that a large number of passengers were stranded at the airport of a country because of this strange thick fog. Some people saw the situation around the world on the Internet and thought it was the end of the world. All kinds of troublemakers wanted to go home, and finally lost control of their emotions and opened fire in public. guns, indiscriminate shooting, causing more than a dozen casualties.

Under this news, many netizens still lament that it has nothing to do with them, foreigners are prone to lose control of their emotions. I lamented the safety of the country's gun control, lamented that others have never seen the world, and I was scared to death by a little thick fog. There is no shortage of gloating superiority in my words.

Mu Nan sighed silently, then closed the news page, opened the notepad, checked for omissions and filled in the gaps, and made a plan for the things he planned to do tomorrow. The disaster is approaching, and everything is clearly prepared , but there was still a sense of urgency that made Mu Nan tense unconsciously.

Mu Nan was woken up in the middle of the night by the sound of an ambulance. Now the ambulance still has a warning sound. Unlike later, it is not allowed to make a sound. An old man in their building was sent to the ambulance. Mu Nan remembered this The thing, it was at this time in the last life, I was sent to rescue an old man in the middle of the night. It is said that it was an 80-year-old father who started coughing two days ago. I am old, and I have a household oxygen at home, so I can wait until the ambulance arrives.

However, it was useless to send him to the hospital for first aid, because the old man never came back, and this was also the first old man to leave their community.
