Chapter 66 Chapter 66 Chapter 66 (Second update)...
Luoxia City, a prosperous and busy city.
Even though weirdness is rampant now, it still maintains its original rhythm.
In the morning rush hour, in the evening rush hour, and in the early hours of the night, lights twinkle on the towering skyscrapers.
The difference is that people will encounter some "sudden events" from time to time.
For example, while driving in the congested morning rush hour, a strange little ghost with a green face and fangs suddenly emerges from a car, and with its fangs and claws bared, it randomly selects a few lucky cars and grabs the humans inside to eat them.
Then with a bang, he was killed by the guardian on duty nearby.
For example, during working hours, the secretary suddenly ran out screaming, shouting "The boss is contaminated!"
So everyone had to run away quickly, and at the same time, they had to ask HR, if the boss had changed, could last month's salary still be paid on time?
For example, a normal street is suddenly pulled into a strange place. People can only hide in it, or try to resist until the guardian comes to rescue them. After saving their lives, they quickly call their relatives and friends to let them know that they are fine.
Human beings are always very adaptable. At the beginning, everyone was in danger and wished that no one would go out.
But gradually, I got used to this kind of life where strange things happen from time to time.
All kinds of stores selling self-defense products are sold out, and the most popular profession in the blind date market is no longer civil servants, but guardians.
Some families who insisted on burial have also become staunch supporters of cremation. After all, if they are not cremated, their loved ones may be buried in the ground on the same day and may bar their fangs at their bedside the next day.
Under the government's overt and covert coordination, the Xia Kingdom returned to a relatively stable social state.
Everyone is looking forward to awakening and becoming a member of the Guardians. Not to mention how high the Guardians' salaries are, just the fact that they can get a safe place and send their loved ones to the rear for protection is enough to make others envious.
Everyone is still very concerned about houses, cars and money, but before that, what is more important is: we have survived another day today.
The communication between relatives, which had been gradually fading, became more frequent because of this sudden crisis.
Even parents who are not good at expressing themselves insist on calling their children every day, not to chat, but just to make sure that their loved ones have not encountered any strange events.
On this day, Zhang Cai received a call from her mother at school.
As usual, Mother Zhang asked whether anything had happened at No. 3 Middle School and whether anyone mysterious had entered the school.
Zhang Cai was also worried about her parents: "Don't worry, Mom, there are guards on duty at school. We students are the safest. As for you and my dad, you should be careful when you are at work. If anything goes wrong, run away quickly and don't just watch the fun."
Zhang's mother agreed: "Who would dare to watch the fun now? Do you remember your uncle Zhang? He is your father's old boss. He saw people arguing on his way to work and went over to watch the fun.
As the argument went on, one of them transformed into a monster and ate the person he was arguing with. Your Uncle Zhang was so scared that his legs went weak. If the guardian hadn't left quickly, he would have been in trouble too.
Zhang Cai was surprised: "Why did it suddenly become weird?"
Mother Zhang: "Maybe that person accidentally picked up a little bit of contamination, and it wasn't discovered when they started arguing and got excited, so wouldn't they be able to suppress it?"
The official report has already been issued. Alienation may also be caused by emotional outburst. Some people may suddenly become alienated when they are overly emotional.
It's quite funny to say that after the official report was issued, the social atmosphere improved a lot.
Everyone becomes polite and courteous when talking outside. Everyone tries to be as friendly as possible, for fear that their words may be unpleasant and irritate the other person.
"Who knows when the pollution will hit you? I heard some people got a green light at security checkpoint in the morning, but suddenly it was different in the afternoon."
Rather than encountering something weird, ordinary people are now more worried about being inexplicably contaminated and then being alienated into something weird.
After all, if you encounter something strange, as long as you are not in a secluded and deserted place, the guardian will come to the rescue soon. If you run for your life fast enough or are not too unlucky, you can save your life.
But if it is contaminated and transformed into something strange, there will be no chance of rescue.
"It would be great if you could awaken too. Once you awaken, there will be energy users who can heal the pollution, and your father and I will feel relieved."
According to official statements, there is no limit to the awakening age of the awakened. There are newborn babies who have the ability, and there are also elderly people who suddenly awaken.
But at present, it seems that the group most likely to awaken is between 15 and 20 years old.
Zhang's mother and father have always hoped that Zhang Cai can wake up.
In particular, Zhang Cai is different from others. She was once bitten by a zombie, but she withstood it and did not become alienated. Zhang's parents therefore have a glimmer of hope and believe that their daughter may have a chance of awakening.
"Oh, right." Mother Zhang suddenly said with a hint of joy, "I was watching TV today and saw a really great expert, a ninth-generation silver needle heir, who said he could cure pollution."
"This is great news. Although our family is fine now, if there is a way to treat the pollution, we can rest assured in the future."
When Zhang Cai heard about the ninth generation silver needle heir, he felt something was amiss:
"Is this true? How does he treat the pollution? Silver needles? Does he run a Chinese medicine clinic?"
Mother Zhang: "No, he sells medicine. He has a secret recipe passed down from generation to generation in our family."
Zhang Cai: "? A secret recipe passed down from generation to generation, can it cure pollution?"
How many years has the strange pollution been happening?
"No, he sells cough and asthma medicine, but he says he can also treat pollution. He's a doctor of medicine, and the host said it took a lot of effort to get him here. Your grandma told me about it. She has coughs and asthma, so she bought some medicine to try."
"But the delivery time is a bit late. They said that the pharmaceutical production process requires a lot of processes and it is all made manually. It is estimated that it will take three months for the product to be shipped."
Two big words popped up in Zhang Cai’s mind: Liar!
"Mom, tell my grandma not to buy it. It sounds like a scam."
Father Zhang's voice came from the phone:
"It doesn't look like a scam at all. He has an immortal aura. You'll know once you see him. He's the vice president of the Xia Country Medical Association. How could such a powerful person deceive us?"
Mother Zhang said, "We can't persuade your grandma. After you have your holiday this week, come with us to Luoxia City to see your grandma. If you think it's a scam, tell her yourself."
Zhang Cai thought so too. The older her grandma gets, the less she listens to advice. But because she loves her, she will listen to what she says.
After she hung up the phone, she searched for the "interview video" her parents mentioned.
Isn't pollution something that only energetic people can heal?
She planned to watch the video and then send it to Luo Shizhen.
Zhang Cai knew that Luo Shizhen had awakened and was attending a school for awakeners. After all, it was Luo Shizhen who saved her when she was bitten by a zombie.
Zhang Cai thought that since Luo Shizhen was studying at the Awakener School, he must know more about this than her. Maybe he could tell whether this was a liar or not.
When you open the video, you see an old man with white hair, wrinkles all over his face, but a rosy complexion, wearing a Tai Chi suit.
Although she had never seen his facial features before, Zhang Cai looked at him and felt that his eyes were inexplicably familiar.
But she couldn't remember when she had seen this old man.
In the video, the white-haired old man waved his hand confidently.
With great and firm conviction, resounding:
"After careful consideration, I made a decision that goes against my ancestors!"
"Donate the secret recipe passed down through our ancestors for a hundred years for free!"
Zhang Cai: ...The more I look at him, the more he looks like a liar.
I should send the video to Luo Shizhen and ask him.
By the way, Luo Shizhen seems to be in Luoxia City. It’s a good opportunity to see if we can make an appointment to meet this time. He saved her last time, and she hasn’t thanked this righteous classmate in person yet.
***
Luoxia City.
Luo Shizhen, a medical professor with an ethereal appearance, is in his rented villa, carefully memorizing the words he will say for another advertisement tomorrow.
The phone buzzed.
Luo Shizhen picked it up, his eyes lit up, he stood up in surprise, and said to Chu Xiao excitedly:
"Zhang Cai! Zhang Cai asked me to meet her!!"
He didn't expect that when he arrived in Luoxia City, some classmates would ask him out.
And, strictly speaking, this is the first time a girl has asked him out!
Luo Shizhen looked down at the Tai Chi suit on his body and remembered what his grandmother said: when meeting a girl, you must dress neatly, the more beautiful the better.
He couldn't sit still any longer, and excitedly pulled Chu Xiao's arm, his dark eyes full of anticipation:
"Chu Xiao! You love dressing up, can you help me pick out some nice clothes for Zhang Cai?"
Luo Shizhen really believed in Chu Xiao's vision. After all, Chu Xiao was so vain that he had to change into new clothes every day in the dormitory.
Chu Xiao's breathing stagnated.
Luo Shizhen continued to look forward to seeing him.
Chu Xiao paused for several seconds before slowly saying, "I'll be there in a minute."
Luo Shizhen didn't notice anything wrong and happily agreed:
"Then I'll go get the clothes from my room first! Or we can buy some new clothes!"
Ever since it was confirmed that he had mutant abilities, his monthly salary had gone straight up to 40,000.
Even someone as frugal as Luo Shizhen felt that he could spend some money.
But in the eyes of others, the person who usually hesitates to eat snacks worth ten yuan becomes generous for the sudden appearance of Zhang Cai, and is even willing to buy new clothes.
Rong Nian, who was soaking in the fish tank, Xiao Shanwen, who was practicing, and Cheng Yunshao, who was answering customer inquiries online, all looked over.
Luo Shizhen hummed a song and walked into the room briskly.
The joy on his face was visibly evident.
Lu Qiujin, who was looking at the information about the pharmaceutical factory, couldn't bear to watch it any longer. He keenly noticed something was wrong from Chu Xiao's slightly changing expression.
Lu Qiujin's eyes darkened, and she slowly asked Chu Xiao:
"Zhang Cai...isn't he a man?"
Luo Shizhen had never acted like this in front of them before.
Chu Xiao took a deep breath and closed his eyes:
"no."
"She was Shi Zhen's former classmate."
“She is very beautiful and her grades are excellent.”
It was fine at first, but when I heard that Zhang Cai's grades were excellent...
Lu Qiujin: “…”
An unprecedented sense of unease arose in his heart.
