Chapter 91
There's a saying that goes, "The older such people get, the more afraid they become of death." Similarly, the younger they are, the less afraid they are of death. What's that saying? A newborn calf is not afraid of death.
There is such a group of high school students in Dong'an Town who can prove this statement. These students are considered high-quality left-behind children. Due to urban development, each family has a four-story house for rent. They don't get paid, but their parents are not around and there is no one to discipline them.
Triggered by various hormones during the budding period of adolescence, they sought excitement and formed an adventure club. The six of them would read horror novels when they had nothing to do, watch horror movies together and brag to each other. Especially since there were two girls among the six people, they could not afford to give in.
Due to force majeure factors in society, no school dares to hold evening self-study classes. Those who should go home before dark should go home, and those who should go to the dormitory should go to the dormitory.
These six 15-year-old boys and girls have been talking about war for years and have watched a lot of movies and novels, so they are very interested in this thing. Some of them are also like Ye Gong who loves dragons but is afraid of them. In order not to be looked down upon by their companions and to prove that they are brave, these six people agreed to go out and commit fraud tonight.
The whole society knows that a terrorist incident has occurred, but it has not happened to us. It will always be a dead person in the next town, very far away from us.
Six teenagers came out of the dormitory in the middle of the night. They seemed very brave, but in fact they didn't dare to go far and just wandered around the streets near the school.
At 8 o'clock, there were basically no people on the road, with only the occasional car passing by in a hurry. This abnormal event has seriously affected the global economy.
The six of them seemed to have contracted the street themselves, walking in the middle of the road, talking and laughing loudly, joking with each other, and also to give themselves courage.
“Beep!——”
The sudden sound of a car horn startled them. They trembled and almost jumped up. They turned around angrily and wanted to curse, but when they saw which car was honking the horn, they had to suppress their temper.
Although there were no flashing lights or sounds, the words "Police" were clearly visible on the car body.
The six young men, full of vigor, immediately flattened themselves down.
"Which school are you from? What time is it? Why are you on the street now?" If this were a few adults, the patrol officer wouldn't bother. After all, the government has already outlined the prevention methods. Do you listen? Do you want to follow them? As adults, you must be responsible for your own actions.
Home is a special symbol. From a metaphysical point of view, the stable aura of a home can protect the people in it. Of course, it is not 100% effective. Among all the special events that can be counted, only 5% occur at home. This proportion is already very low, and most of them occur in unfortunate family environments.
The six students looked listless and acted like little chicks in front of the police. They answered every question the police asked and had no intention of playing heroes at this moment.
It was soon discovered why these six children were strolling on the street at this time. In order to prove that they were not afraid of monsters and that they were brave, they climbed over the wall to test their courage.
The police officer was itching to get his hands dirty. If this were his own child, he would definitely make sure to have a feast of bamboo shoots and fried pork. "What era is this? You're still trying to test your courage! I think you're really tired of living. Where are your parents' phone numbers? Where's your homeroom teacher's number?"
If we listen to the police, we will have to call the parents. It will be like the sky is falling: "Uncle police, we won't dare to do this again. Can you please don't call the parents?" The leading student is called Sun Yang, and his sister Sun Juan. It was they who proposed to organize this activity.
"Yes, let's go back to school now." The remaining four nodded hurriedly. Their luck was really bad today. They encountered the police as soon as they went out to the street. None of the six people achieved their goal.
Seeing that it was getting later, for the sake of safety, they had no choice but to send these six back first: "Xiao Zhao and the others are from a nearby middle school, you send them back, and by the way, tell the school to check carefully and don't let anyone like this run away again.
"Yes." Xiao Zhao was somewhat reluctant. It was not that he was unwilling to do things, but he thought he could see some things he had never seen before when he followed them this time. Who knew that he was just sending these people home to take care of them. He just wanted to complete the task quickly. Today, there were expert-level figures who would accompany them to walk around the streets and conduct research in person.
After watching those people leave, Captain Liang, who had just scored six teenagers, turned to the four people still sitting in the car and said, "Excuse me, please wait a moment. The school is right next to us, and my colleague should be back soon."
"It's okay, it's still early than the predicted time." In the car were three fully armed special incident handlers and Professor Ai Hongliang.
They came here because they had made various calculations and found that there was a high possibility of entering the ghost town from here tonight. They had also sent people there based on previous predictions, but nothing happened.
This time, Professor Ai Hongliang also came along, wanting to experience it for himself.
They didn't expect that they would come back so soon. Less than three minutes after they left, Xiao Zhao came back hurriedly with six students.
"Captain Liang, Captain Liang, something's wrong."
"?" Xiao Zhao's shout seemed to break some cognition. He didn't know when the surrounding environment began to look like a layer of frosted glass. It was not foggy, but it became blurry.
The three members of the processing department got out of the car immediately, and the recorders they wore faithfully recorded the changes in the surrounding environment. In the car, Professor Ai took out a notebook and wrote quickly while looking at the special instrument he brought.
At this time, the six teenagers didn't even bother to try their luck. They hid between the police and the car like quails, looking around nervously.
The street scene with street lights gradually darkened, and the buildings of the ancient town vaguely emerged in the darkness. Everything was black, just in different shades.
"Ah!" Sun Juan screamed and lunged forward, clinging to her brother to avoid falling. She cried out in terror, "Someone's grabbing my legs! Someone's grabbing my legs!"
Captain Liang immediately shone the flashlight under the car. A dark shadow flashed by, and although he couldn't see clearly, he was sure that there was something there.
"Shut up." The one who shouted at the others was Professor Ai who was sitting in the car: "The sound will attract those things. If you don't want to die, just be quiet." Professor Ai put the things in his hands in order and got out of the car.
Now they dared not even cry. Several students were so hesitant that they gasped: "What should we do? We don't want to die yet. Uncle police, help us."
Professor Ai was not like the police, who tried to comfort them with words. Instead, he spoke directly and venomously: "If you don't seek death, you won't die. Who can protect you in a place like this? You deserve to die."
This is not pleasant to hear: "How can you call the police like this?" Another girl said, the police are public servants, and saying such things...
Professor Ai raised an eyebrow and looked at the six children who were looking for death. "I'm not a police officer. Besides, you should also know that once you enter this environment, no one's life or death can be guaranteed. If you want to survive, you have to work hard. The life of a police officer is more valuable than you little brats."
Professor Ai has a very sharp tongue and he scolded several children so badly that they were left in tears.
The two policemen who led them wanted to dissuade them but hesitated to speak, while the other three special forces members had no time to care about them and were on high alert.
"Come on." One of them reminded softly.
In the darkness in the distance, something was vaguely surging, almost blending in with the buildings in the background. It was impossible to distinguish it without careful observation.
Professor Ai took out two pistols and gave them to the two policemen, and took one for himself: "Special weapons may be useful." The weapons of the three special forces members were all specially made.
The six little chicks huddled together, shivering as they looked at the dark shadows surrounding them from outside.
