Chapter 7: News
This is an era dominated by human beings. Even the strongest tiger can't beat the musket in the hands of weak humans, and the most agile Firefox can't avoid the traps laid by humans. The best flying eagles look at the earth and carefully avoid human eyes.
For the sake of oil, human beings dried the earth. The leaked oil polluted the white feathers of the albatross and rotted the beautiful fish swimming freely in the sea. The blue sea became dark, like the ruthless eyes of human beings in the night. However, human beings despise everything and sing immortality for their rights.
Flies are pests and sparrows are pests. Humans weigh everything according to their own preferences, but anything harmful to them should disappear from the earth. Humble human beings will never see that tens of thousands of species in nature are struggling in the cracks of human consciousness to survive.
The earth is the most proud work of the Creator. And the so-called science - conservation of energy, species evolution, materialist philosophy... has brought human beings into a cage that can never be broken.
You, the fourth generation of civilization on earth, have finally reached the end of the era.
The world will tremble in perfect turmoil.
......
"Wow--" Meng Fan suddenly sat up from **, looking frightened and sweating profusely.
The vest has already been soaked and sticks to the body, which is very uncomfortable. Outside the window is still dark, and there is a uniform and slight snoring outside the room. The mouse went to pick up the girl and didn't come back at night. The big country and the glasses should still be sleeping soundly.
What's going on? How could you have such a dream? Meng Fan shook his head, his mouth was dry, and his consciousness seemed to fall into the dream just now...
The yellow light like a firefly shrouded a group of strangers, with a total number of 1,000, and he is just one of the people in this group. Outside the crowd, there was a vast and boundless black, without a trace of light.
In front of the crowd, there is a cyan stone platform quietly suspended. On the stone platform, a magnificent man stands proudly, three meters tall, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, wearing bright silver armor, holding a blood-red long gun in his hand, overlooking the crowd without anger.
Standing around him, one person each, the young man on the left has long hair shawl, his eyes are soft, like a woman, the old man on the right, with white beard hanging his chest, holding a carved dragon crutch, and looks cold.
It was as quiet as death, and the crowd was silent. Meng Fan tried to open his mouth, but he couldn't make a sound.
After a while, the great man finally spoke...
Human, era, science, trembling... The words of the great man constantly echoed in Meng Fan's mind, bringing an unusually strange sense of reality.
Who is he? Does it have anything to do with my ability? Meng Fan was a little confused. After thinking for a while, his consciousness fell into a dizzy again and fell asleep again in a daze...
"Ah--" In the morning, the warm sun shroud Meng Fan through the window. He opened his eyes in a daze and stretched out lazily.
"Xiaofan, which one shall we go to today?" Da Da woke up long ago and knocked on the door of Meng Fan's room, looking very excited.
It has been half a month since Meng Fan used his ability to win 40,000 for the first time. Half a month ago, Glasses checked the Internet all night. Although I got less information in Baidu, I still got some useful information in the exchange of players in some forums, and finally found the location of 23 game halls. None of these game halls is as large as the one Meng Fan frequented at the beginning.
The next thing is much simpler. According to Meng Fan's estimate, the cash stored at the front desk of these game halls is about 50,000 yuan. Therefore, Meng Fan took turns to visit these game halls with big countries and rats. Every time he went to one, he must bring back more than 40,000 yuan in cash.
The average daily income of these game halls is about 20,000, and occasionally lose 30,000 to 40,000, which should be tolerated by the boss behind them.
For half a month, he earned 630,000 yuan and lived in the school's dirty dormitory. Meng Fan rented a 200-square-meter villa near the south school at a price of 8,000 yuan a month, four large rooms, and one dormitory for four people. In Changchun, such a rent is already very high, but in Meng Fan's view, it is far less than a day's income.
Among the benefits brought by his ability, Meng Fan is proud. He goes to the game hall to get money as usual in the morning, and drinks tea, plays poker and wanders around with big countries in the afternoon and evening. As for the school curriculum, you don't have to worry about it at all. As long as you give the counselor a red envelope of 10,000 yuan, you can ensure that he can give the four people excellent grades in all subjects.
This is the right of counselors in this third-rate school. Meng Fan is also happy. We don't bother to take that kind of boring physics and electronic class.
Meng Fan got out of bed in a daze, opened the door, and looked at the red face of Daguo, which was a little funny: "You decide by throwing the dice. Is there anything to eat? Grandma is starving to death?"
It's really strange. After yesterday's dream, I seemed to have done all night's physical work. I was powerless, and my stomach seemed to have not eaten for a long time, and I kept screaming.
"soybean milk, deep-fried dough sticks." In the living room, the glasses that were surfing the Internet wirelessly took over the words, "The deep-fried dough sticks made by the big country are definitely not gutter oil and there are no preservatives."
Meng Fan took a shower randomly, returned to the living room, grabbed the deep-fried dough sticks and ate them.
"Meng Fan, you see, there was a lot of news yesterday morning." Glasses have a habit of getting up early to watch the news on the Internet. He handed his notebook to Meng Fan, "It seems to be quite weird. I don't know if it has something to do with aliens."
It's really worthy of the name of 'science fiction trainee'. Everything can be thought of science fiction. Meng Fan picked up soy milk, took a big sip, and glanced at the computer screen, but was stunned in an instant.
I saw a news website densely covered with news headlines, and almost every headline contained words such as 'strange', 'mysterious' and 'strange'. Meng Fan immediately raised his interest, wiped his hands and clicked on a piece of news.
At 3 a.m. Beijing time, a 37-story elevator apartment in Chicago, USA, caught fire. According to the surveillance video across the road, the flames completely engulfed the building within 15 seconds. So far, the casualties are unknown, the cause of the fire is unknown, and the reason why the flames spread so quickly is unknown. No terrorist organization has claimed responsibility for this matter.
Meng Fan frowned and thought for a while, puzzled.
It is not uncommon for a high-rise building to catch fire, but it is impossible to burn a whole building from one point. Even if the whole building is drenched with gasoline and lit at some point, it is impossible to let the flames spread to the whole building within 15 seconds.
In confusion, Meng Fan clicked on the next news.
At about 3:20 a.m. Beijing time, the water of Dongting Lake in China mysteriously disappeared. According to the fishermen fishing by the lake overnight, at about 3:20 a.m., he cast a net by the lake, and the starry lake disappeared in an instant, and the bottom of the lake was full of the sound of crackling big fish struggling. Provincial leaders attached great importance to it and drove to Dongting Lake at 8 a.m. to comfort the surrounding people and organize disaster relief work. However, at this time, the lake suddenly recovered as before, and there was no trace of disappearance.
The water of a whole lake disappears in an instant and recovers in an instant. How can such a thing happen? Are there really aliens? Meng Fan was even more confused.
In the early morning, all the RMB in hundreds of ATMs in Shenzhen disappeared, and the camera did not monitor suspicious people. According to statistics, the total losses of banks have reached hundreds of millions of yuan.
From 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. Beijing time, a series of murders occurred in Ottawa, Canada. The murderers killed 107 young girls in a row. The scene of the killing was blurred. The deceased was cruelly ground into minced meat and even the bones were smashed into scum. According to local police analysis, the murderer is likely to suffer from serious mental illness.
At about 3:30 a.m. Beijing time, the metal cages holding animals in the Tokyo Zoo in Japan melted inexplicably, and all animals, including tigers, elephants and lions, ran out, causing panic in the area. Fortunately, there were no casualties.
At about 3 a.m. Beijing time, a strange animal suddenly appeared on the road in Chengdu, Sichuan, China. It disappeared after stepping on hundreds of meters of cement pavement. Skynet showed that the animal was about 15 meters high and shaped similar to the long-extinct Tyrannosaurus Rex. The biological academician of the Academy of Sciences declared that the dinosaurs have long been extinct, and the images recorded by the camera are likely to be someone's prank. Please rest assured.
About 3:30 a.m. Beijing time...
Every piece of news is called strange and shocking, but it all happened around 3 a.m. Beijing time. Meng Fan was confused for a long time, and a shocking idea suddenly came into his mind. He had difficulty breathing and trembled all over.
"Xiaofan, what's wrong?" It's strange to be a big country holding a barbell on one side.
"Yes, Meng Fan, what's wrong with you?" The glasses also feel strange.
"Nothing." Meng Fan waved his hand feebly, "I'm not going to the game hall today. I'm a little tired and want to take a break."
After saying that, Meng Fan got up and returned to his room, leaving a doubtful big country and glasses.
Sitting by the bed, Meng Fan fell into meditation again.
Meng Fan clearly remembers that when he woke up from a strange dream, he subconsciously looked at his mobile phone by his bed and showed that it was exactly 3:20 a.m. Beijing time, which coincided with the time when these news happened.
Bizarre dreams, strange truth, the appearance, costumes and every word of the great man seemed to be printed directly into his mind, which could not be extinguished and forgotten. There are also thousands of strangers in the dark. Although they are silent, they seem to be within reach in their dreams.
That kind of mysterious news can't be done by ordinary people in any case, because ordinary people don't have that much power. In this way, there is only one explanation - in this world, people who get powers are not alone. Thousands of strangers in the dream should get a certain ability by chance, and those who create those news are all powers!
must be so!
But why does that news happen at the same time and have anything to do with dreams?
Is it announcing the existence of superpowers to the world?
If so, have you done something unconsciously? Meng Fan remembered that his body was sore and weak after getting up. Like physical work for a long time, his body was an inexplicable trembling.
'Dongdong', while Meng Fan was thinking nonsense, there was a sudden knock on the door outside the room, and the mouse shouted at the door, "Xiaofan, I'm back. Something very interesting happened last night."
