Proofreader: Prof Zhu Yuan
The next day Yun Che waited expectantly for a whole day, but neither sister nor brother came. When calling them, he could not get through. Tomorrow was doomsday. Yun Che"s heart couldn"t help falling straight down. At night, he finally got through to his sister.
"Sorry Xiao Che, my mother-in-law suddenly fell ill last night. You know, Zhi Jun is not here. If I don"t go, they should quarrel with me again. Could I take Chenchen to see you tomorrow?" Yun Yao voice was full of exhaustion and apology; even if she didn"t say it directly, Yun Che also knew that the family humiliated her again. If he could, he would like to expose their disgusting nature, but he knew that his sister really loved Zhou Zhijun. Even if he did, she would not really give up their marriage.
"No, elder sister, please stay. I"ll go to see you. But from now on, take Chen Chen with you and stay at home, and don"t go anywhere. If the Zhou family connect you, don"t answer them, just stay at home and wait for me." It was too late to say anything now. Yun Che could only find them by himself. Tomorrow was doomsday. It was impossible for him to let his sister go out alone with Chenchen. He didn"t want to either feel the pain of losing relatives again or live alone in doomsday.
"But…"
"Elder sister, would I hurt you? Promise me, lock the door, don"t open it and never go out. "
Yun Yao obviously was in doubt and puzzled, but Yun Che had no more time to explain to her. Tomorrow, in the morning there would be a large-scale outbreak of zombie. Maybe there would be a small outbreak tonight; only the ordinary people didn"t know it.
"Well, do you feel well?" This was the first time her younger brother had begged her in this way. Yun Yao was not willing to refuse. It would only be one day.
"I"ve been fine for a long time, and one more thing, sister. It would start snowing later; please remember to close the window. No matter what you hear or see, don"t open the window or be afraid. Believe me, I would pick you up." Yun Che held a phone in one hand and waved the other hand to get things in the room into his s.p.a.ce. Tonight he would be heading to the next city. He hoped that zombie would not break out until tomorrow, so tomorrow morning he should be able to receive his sister, nephew and brother.
"Don"t scare me, Che. What"s going on?"
Yun Che didn"t explain to her: "It"s okay, sister, you could rest. You can be a.s.sured that I would protect you."
"Well, be careful, Che."
The sister and the brother said a few more words before they hung up the phone. Yun Che had already packed up and took a look at the empty room. Yun Che checked the tickets on the App again. The high-speed railway to the next city would not be available until tomorrow morning. Without hesitation, Yun Che picked up his backpack and rushed out. The truck he rented was parked in a warehouse two blocks away. Now in this situation, he could only drive by himself.
"What the h.e.l.l are you doing?" When Che just got on the bus, he got Yun Cheng"s phone call. Yun Che was yelling at him and his other hand was controlling the steering wheel to drive the car out. He didn"t lock the door of the warehouse; anyway, he should never come back.
"Sorry, brother, there seems to be a new epidemic virus these two days. The professor asked me to go to the hospital to help after I hung up your phone. Could I come to your place in a few days?"
Yun Cheng"s voice was also very tired. He had been staying in the research room of the hospital since last night. He had just returned to the dormitory and opened the phone only to find that his brother had called him many times.
"It was impossible for you guys to figure it out. Yun Cheng, I don"t care what method you use. Now find a relatively sealed place to hide yourself immediately, and then send me the location. Later I"ll pick up my sister and then I will go to find you."
Sure enough, zombie virus had been spreading on a small scale for a long time, but it had always been regarded as a common virus or it was deliberately suppressed by the government. d.a.m.n it, Yun Che took a few deep breaths and his face turned unspeakably pale. He should have cheated them to come here earlier.
"Brother, do you know anything?" Yun Cheng knitted his eyebrows tightly. He knew his brother was better than anyone else. He would not say anything he was not sure of.
"Know what? What should happen would happen anyway, Yun Cheng. If you really think of me as your brother, listen to me and hide at once until I pick you up. " Yun Che smiled mockingly. If people knew the date of doomsday, would this day not come? Would zombies not eat people? Would they all be safe?
"I know, brother, be careful." Yun Cheng was much smarter than Yun Yao; he already guessed something. Although he could not believe it, he believed Yun Che. As long as he said it, he would believe it.
"Well, remember to send directions."
"Peng!" Before Yun Che finished his word, his truck crashed together with a black car.
"What"s the matter? What happened? "
"It"s okay, remember what I said."
At the other end of the phone line, Yun Cheng anxiously asked. Yun Che looked through the winds.h.i.+eld at the person getting off the other car. He hung up the phone, pushed the door and got off.
"Young man, how did you drive? Haven"t you seen that turning is forbidden now? "
The man looked at the sunken b.u.mper and looked up angrily at Yun Che.
"I"m sorry, brother, but I didn"t pay attention. Here is my student ID card and phone number. Will you please let me leave first? I promise that I will never run. Just call me how much the car will cost for repairing." Knowing that he was fully responsible, Yun Che did not even try to defend himself. Before doomsday came, this was still a society ruled by law. If he did not obey the law, he may be put in detention for two days. Now he only wanted to leave quickly. As for the compensation, it was the business of tomorrow.
"No, who knows if this student card is yours? Let"s call the traffic police to solve it. "
Seeing this, the man"s att.i.tude also softened a little, but he was not really stupid enough to let him go. Yun Che could not help but cry out again: "Hey man, I really have something to do. Just now my family called. My mother was sent to the hospital with a sudden cerebral hemorrhage. I must rush to the hospital immediately. I may not be able to see her if I did not come as soon as possible. Please, I really didn"t mean to s.h.i.+rk my responsibility and I will definitely pay for it. Look, the photo on the student ID card is really me. If you don"t believe me, you can also call me and be sure to get through."
"Emm…" The man couldn"t help hesitating. The onlookers also cast sympathetic and understanding eyes on Yun Che.
"Pa!" Just when the man didn"t know what to do, the door of the back seat of the black car opened. A man at least nearly 1.9 meters tall came down. The moment Yun Che saw him, his pupil shrank. It was actually him!
"General Xing." That men respectfully stepped back to the side of Xing Feng, Xing Feng took the student ID card and looked up at Yun Che; the bottom of his deep eyes could not be seen. Yun Che unconsciously looked back at him, it seemed that he didn"t change much after the doomsday. Whether it was before or after the doomsday, he was aggressive any time. If such a man did not get the superfunction after doomsday, he would not be a ordinary man either.
"Yun Che?" Holding his student ID card, Xing Feng reached out to hook up Yun Che"s chin and looked at Yun Che. Yun Che did not wave away his hand but looked at him with a quick smile: "Yes."
"Interesting!" In this case, Yun Che was not afraid at all. Xing Feng smiled with great interest: "I don"t believe in anything you said, but for your interest, I"ll let you go today, man, just be grateful for my good mood."
The student ID card was thrown to him. Xing Feng suddenly reached out his finger and flicked his forehead. He turned back to the car. Yun Che didn"t struggle either. He reversed himself and drove his pickup truck and left. They would see each other again.
"Shh, do you have a crush on him?" In the black car, another man sitting in the back seat asked casually, he was Mo Wenyang, the cousin of Xing Feng. He was the lieutenant colonel of the southwest military region. But compared with Xing Feng who had numerous meritorious achievements in the army, Mo Wenyang was more like the second generation of the rich. He just held the t.i.tle of lieutenant colonel with the help of his family. but in fact, he was also very competent. However, his capability was hidden under the appearance of cynicism and most people don"t know it.
"Get back to the army." Glancing at him, Xing Feng said, "Leave the car and get to the north city as soon as possible."
"Yes." When the driver heard this, he started the car again. Mo Wenyang turned serious and said, "Do you really believe in the virus? Wasn"t the so-called doomsday bulls.h.i.+t? "
A few days ago, after a light snowfall across the country, a new kind of flu broke out. The day before yesterday, research inst.i.tutions thought that this was probably a new type of virus. Anyone infected with the virus would bite people. Such virus was highly infectious. Many hospitals had locked many patients of this type. The army had already begun to arrange protective measures. No official news had been released yet in case that it would cause panic among the citizens.
"The opportunity is reserved for those who are prepared. No matter whether the virus will spread or not, it is always right to be prepared. The army is also beginning the preparation. Even it turns out in the end that it is only a false alarm, I can still afford to lose hundreds of millions of materials. " Moreover, he might not lose his money, for he could still resell the goods.
"Well, you have the money, so you have the final say." Mo Wenyang stopped to argue with him.
Yun Che, who was driving a tattered minivan, went out of the city. When pa.s.sing through the oil depot he saw a few oil tankers parking outside. Yun Che approached the oil depot quietly. He saw that the staff seemed to have just finished the handover and were chatting with each other. Yun Che stepped forward, waved his hand and several oil tankers disappeared. Before others could react, he once again disappeared in darkness.
"f.u.c.k! The tanker disappeared!" The oil depot became restless but Yun Che had already driven away in his minivan.
