288: Green Hell: Doomsday Can't Come
“Who is it?”
The sudden voice made Xu Feng subconsciously look around.
Besides the bewildered cleaner beside him, there was no third person.
As for the subway passengers who came to watch the excitement because of the commotion, they were still quite a distance away from him.
“Was it an illusion?” Before Xu Feng could think further.
The situation in the subway car immediately drew his attention.
The insects had already started crawling out of the carriage, but thankfully, their speed was not fast.
The passengers and subway station staff who came because of the commotion all screamed in surprise after seeing the situation inside the train carriage.
Such huge insects were completely beyond the scope of normal human understanding!
As an ordinary Man, Xu Feng did not understand what was causing this.
He also had no way to investigate the origin of these insects.
He only knew now that he could not take this subway.
Enduring the foul smell, Xu Feng walked towards the subway station exit.
When going up the stairs.
He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the patch of moss on the ground had grown a bit larger.
He walked out of the subway station.
He opened a ride-hailing app.
It was over fifty kilometers from here to Baiquan Mountain, and he couldn't take the subway or transfer buses, so Xu Feng could only pay for a taxi himself.
However.
Five or six minutes after sending out the ride request, no one accepted the order…
“Everything is going wrong.” Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Xu Feng looked at his telephone contact list.
He wasn't someone who liked to owe favors, but the current situation didn't allow him to hesitate.
“Hello? Old Xu, what makes you think of calling me?”
As soon as the call connected, a clear, strong voice immediately came from the other end.
“Dabing, do you have time to drive out now?” Xu Feng asked relatively directly.
The person on the other end of the telephone was Xu Feng's university roommate and the only university classmate he still kept in touch with.
“Where are you?” The classmate on the telephone didn't hesitate.
He obviously knew Xu Feng's personality very well.
“I'm at the South Station of the subway station.” Under the stimulation of the ultraviolet rays, Xu Feng squinted his White Eyes and looked at the station sign not far away.
“I'll be there in ten minutes.” Hu Dabing on the other end of the telephone was very loyal.
He shook his head and smiled, then hung up the telephone.
Wiping the sweat from his face again, Xu Feng looked at the cold drink shop next to him and rushed in.
The Hellish weather outside, with not much Sun visible yet stiflingly hot like a sauna, didn't even have a breeze.
He took a bottle of water from the refrigerator.
“Young man, the water price has gone up, it's ten yuan now.”
The Boss pointed to the one yuan on the counter, indicating that nine yuan was still missing.
“A bottle of mineral water is ten times more expensive?” Hearing this, Xu Feng immediately refused.
Although this was at the entrance of the subway station, it was too outrageous to be this expensive!
The shop Boss, however, sighed when he heard Xu Feng's words and showed an expression of 'why don't they eat meat': “Young man, you probably don't know the situation of us who run supermarkets and shops recently.”
“The number of shops that have closed down this year is the most in recent years! My supermarket has been open at the South Station for seven years, and it was supposed to be thriving and making a lot of money, but can you imagine that all seven of my supply channels have been cut off!”
“Everything in my shop is one item less sold, if I don't raise the price a bit, what the Hell am I earning!”
Looking at the Boss's face full of misery, as if he was just waiting for his own bankruptcy, Xu Feng was speechless for a moment.
He took out the remaining nine yuan.
Consider it the money for enjoying the air conditioning in this shop.
With a cigarette butt in his mouth, the shop Boss took the money, glanced at Xu Feng sitting on the side, and said nothing.
Lying on a chair, the shop Boss used the remote control to press the TV in the shop repeatedly, tuning it to his favorite channel.
He smoked, drank ice cola, and watched TV.
Looking at this Boss, compared to his own endless work, Xu Feng felt a little envious for a moment.
“Expert Wang, many people online are saying that the End of the World is coming, and Zombies from those movies and TV shows will even really appear around us and replace us Humans, what do you think about this?”
In the TV program, the Host asked an old scholar wearing glasses.
This was a relatively popular program at the moment, [The End of the World Is Impossible].
Under the camera's lens.
Expert Wang, who heard this question, showed a disdainful smile: “I can responsibly tell all the audience friends in front of the TV that the Zombie End of the World is simply nonsense!”
“Like the Zombies in movies and TV shows, can a single Pathogen infect the entire City?”
“Everyone just closes their doors, which Zombie knows you're at home?”
“As long as this step is taken, what awaits us next is our Army sweeping through, the Army in reality is not the exceptionally useless Army in movies and TV shows that is there to highlight the protagonist, we have radar, we have thermal weapons, and it's not difficult to mass-produce protective suits against Zombie bites.”
While speaking, Expert Wang in the TV leaned back in his chair.
“Besides, Zombies are too unrealistic, where is the most basic law of conservation of energy? Machines need oil and electricity to run, can Zombies have unlimited kinetic energy just by biting a person?”
“To take a step back, even if Zombies were really born, and Zombies had really formed a large Army, do you think they could resist our Human weapons?”
“There are often scenes in movies and TV shows where Zombie armies destroy Human bases, because there are many Zombies, so everyone thinks this is reasonable?”
“In fact, in the face of absolute Firepower, no matter how many Zombies there are, they are just live targets, the reason why we Humans are advanced is because we have brains.” Expert Wang pointed to his own brain: “Zombies without brains are essentially low-level creatures, the Zombie End of the World is just to cater to the virtual market, it's a joke when brought into reality.”
“Actually, no matter what kind of End of the World it is, it is very far away from us, we Humans have enough strength to contain all potential possibilities.”
“Well said! Damn it, yesterday there was a contrarian who said the Zombie End of the World was coming and argued with me after I refuted him, I must send this episode of the program to that contrarian and shut him up!”
The Boss behind the counter looked at the TV, slapped his thigh, and picked up his telephone.
Xu Feng's heart skipped a beat from the sudden sound.
“Beep beep beep beep beep…”
Three ambulances speeding towards them in the distance attracted the attention of Xu Feng and the shop Boss.
When the ambulances stopped at the entrance of the subway station, both people in the shop slightly stood up.
Could something have happened in the subway station?
Xu Feng subconsciously thought of the insects in the subway station earlier.
Not long after.
The medical staff inside the ambulances rushed into the subway station and then carried out A Man on a stretcher who was covered in red rashes and whose body was shaking like he had epilepsy!
And not just one person!
As Xu Feng and the shop Boss held their breath.
Several medical staff members carried out two more people one after another!
These three people all looked the same.
Their bodies were covered in red rashes, their bodies shaking like sieves, and their rolled-up White Eyes were no less than dead fish eyes!
Vaguely, Xu Feng could even see a sticky liquid on one of the three people's bodies.
And… that familiar foul smell.
“Beep beep!!”
Outside the shop door, two car horns startled Xu Feng.
His classmate Hu Dabing had arrived.
