Volume 4: Spacetime Singularity Chapter 1 Reproduce
On May 9th, Ning Yu'an's sleep quality was almost as bad as last night. She woke up at around seven o'clock and her head was buzzing after she opened her eyes, but she couldn't fall asleep anymore.
The news that the northern megacity had come under heavy attack had spread across the country on the very day of the incident.
Ning Yu'an would habitually lie on her side on her bed in the dormitory and check her phone for a while before getting up every morning. At that time, she found that the front-page headlines of various websites were all about news about monster attacks.
Videos that were difficult to distinguish between true and false were spread wildly on the Internet, with many of them reaching tens of millions of views in less than a day. One of the most viewed videos was shot by a citizen standing on the balcony of his house in the early morning.
The first minute of this video, which is less than three minutes long, is all about the collapsing buildings at the end of the horizon. Those tall buildings with solid steel structures are flattened like cardboard boxes by an invisible force, compressed from three-dimensional rectangles into a pancake and stacked up layer by layer.
As the number of buildings blocking the view decreased, the outline of the monster in the distance gradually became clearer.
The giant creature in front of us looked like an irregular, twisting cone from a distance. The outside of the cone was covered with ridges and holes of various shapes and sizes, which were constantly moving on its surface as the monster moved.
In addition to these structures, countless , twisting in the air. Like octopus tentacles, they rolled the debris around the body into the holes in its body and seemed to swallow it without chewing.
When the monster got closer, the video showed that its "skin" was dark gray with a fuzzy luster and covered with tiny green spots that were constantly moving.
Ning Yu'an felt a strong sense of déjà vu about the texture and color, and it took her a while to realize what it looked like.
It looked like a pile of hardened, phosphorescent corpses.
The giant in front of us is growing at a speed visible to the naked eye as the progress bar runs.
In the second half of the video, the vibration caused by the monster's movement has made it impossible for the up-host to hold the phone steadily. In the last few seconds, the screen spun around, probably because the owner of the phone also started to run for his life.
When Ning Yu'an first saw these videos, she thought someone was using CG again. After all, the saying "videos cannot be photoshopped" had been popular for a long time, until she clicked on the official media news account.
The information inside was exactly the same as what he saw on the video website. Seeing this, Ning Yu'an's sweat glands suddenly contracted, and the pajamas that had just been dried yesterday were stuck to his body again.
Did I travel to a world with Ultraman while I was sleeping?
Before she had time to be distracted for long, she received a message on her phone from the counselor in the group, notifying all members that all classes for the day were cancelled and asking everyone to stay on campus and not run around.
Seeing this, she sat up suddenly from the bed, turned over and got out of bed to put on the sports clothes, although the clothes were not completely dry. This series of actions woke up the roommate who was sleeping in the next bed.
"Ah... Boss, where are you going so early? You don't have morning classes today, right?" Actually, Ning Yu'an is not too old to go to school, and she is not the oldest in the dormitory. Their dormitory is very interesting, and the eldest and the second oldest are not arranged according to age.
"Oh, sorry, sorry..."
Before she finished speaking, the cell phone in her pocket suddenly vibrated violently. She opened the screen and found that it was her mother calling. She hurried to the balcony, closed the door, and pressed the call button on the screen.
"Hey, Mom, what's wrong?"
"An An, are you okay there? Are you in danger?"
The mother on the other end of the phone seemed very anxious and her voice was a little hoarse.
However, this nonsensical question made Ning Yu'an a little confused.
"Ah... It's nothing, don't worry. The teacher just won't let us leave the school, so now everyone is following the instructions and staying inside the school."
"Okay, okay, I'm glad you're okay... The atmosphere at home is very tense right now. Your father has already returned to the army overnight. All residents in the compound have received a notice saying that they should be ready to evacuate at any time from now on. I have almost packed my things."
"Oh my god, you must be careful then."
"Well, it shouldn't be a problem. Don't worry too much. You must obey orders and follow instructions at school. Don't run around."
"Yeah, definitely not."
At this moment, the national defense mobilization system has been fully activated and everyone has returned to their combat posts.
This is also the first time that the country has entered a level one combat readiness state nationwide since the 21st century.
Thanks to the advance warning, the protozoan did not cause too many casualties on its way to the nuclear power plant.
In order to prepare for a possible landing more than 50 years ago, the country dug many large air-raid shelters in the hills around the coastal city and built several layers of fortifications.
The people who built these facilities certainly could not have imagined that their labors would be used in this way.
The rest of May 9th was very torturous for Ning Yu'an. After learning that her mother had been transferred safely, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still worried.
Because she called Fang Cheng several times but never got through.
The news said that the place where this monster was originally born was his school. When she saw this news, she almost dropped her phone.
But that guy is lucky , he will be fine!
One summer vacation night in high school, the two of them were walking home together after having dinner at the shopping mall. When they passed an intersection, a speeding motorcycle turned left and rushed towards them. Fang Cheng subconsciously pushed Ning Yu'an out, but he himself collided head-on with the motorcycle.
However, it was not known whether it was due to the tricky angle of force or some other reason, but Fang Cheng was only hit on the thigh and staggered and fell to the side, while the motorcycle and the rider flew several meters away. However, the rider was not seriously injured due to his complete protection.
Ning Yu'an still remembers that this sudden stimulation frightened her so much that she burst into tears, and Fang Cheng comforted her all the way.
The atmosphere above the Pacific Ocean was still rolling violently, but the lightning that covered the sky was gradually weakening. The tiny dark clouds that had been floating in the sky had all evaporated under the fierce heating of the high-energy rays, and the colorful and complete sky could be clearly seen from the ground.
By this time, Fang Cheng had gradually calmed down from the huge shock. The overly strong sensory impact made his brain give up processing the real-time information received by his five senses, and also made him forget about his fear of heights.
At this moment, his mind was replaying the scene he had just seen over and over again.
"Huh... I finally destroyed it... Is it safe now..."
"Not really."
“……!”
"…What? It's not dead??"
"Death is death, but it is only one of them that died."
