Chapter 231 Chapter 231 Heavy Fog
"vomit……"
Zhang Shuhui ran to the toilet and vomited violently.
Even though she tried hard to control her brain from thinking about that scene, the image still appeared in front of her eyes and lingered for a long time.
The stench of blood still seemed to linger on the tip of Zhang Shuhui's nose, and her stomach churned again.
But she had only eaten some noodles for breakfast today, and her stomach had already been emptied, even acidic water had been vomited out, and her esophagus was burning with pain.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?"
Zhang Lingjia put down his dishes, rushed to the bathroom nervously, and reached out to carefully touch his mother's forehead.
Then she put her palm to her forehead and said curiously, "It's not hot at all. Mom doesn't have a fever."
Zhang Shuhui took out a few tissues and wiped the corners of her mouth. She forced a smile and said, "Don't worry, baby. Mommy's fine. She'll be fine in a moment."
The child frowned and said, "But Mommy looks so miserable."
He Junxia probably knew the reason for Zhang Shuhui's reaction. To be honest, he couldn't help vomiting several times when he saw a human corpse up close for the first time.
"Go make Shuhui a cup of honey water."
He Junxia urged Zong Kangping, who was standing there stupidly, without any tact, like a wooden man.
Both children were faster than him.
Zong Yipeng jumped off the dining table and took out Zhang Lingjia's special water cup. Zong Kangping hurriedly opened the refrigerator and scooped a large spoonful of honey water into the cup.
Zong Yipeng shook the cup and raised it above his head: "Mom, I'll give you some honey water. You'll feel better after drinking it."
"Thank you, son."
Zhang Shuhui picked up the water cup and took a big gulp. The sweet honey water gradually diluted the sour and spicy feeling in her esophagus and stomach.
"I'm much better."
Zhang Shuhui touched the two children's heads, but the smile on her face was not genuine, and there was some worry on her face.
She hesitated and said, "Why don't we let Pengpeng and Jiajia go downstairs in the future? If they want to go out, let them play on the stairs. I think the stairwell is quite spacious, and there's a defogger to block it, so there's no need to worry about birds flying in."
Although being cooped up in a small space for so long was uncomfortable, it was better than losing her life. Zhang Shuhui couldn't bear to think about how devastated she would be if those things happened to her own children.
He Junxia nodded: "Don't go out recently. Let's stay at home for a while and see what the government plans to do."
Zong Kangping agreed: "Yes, it's too dangerous outside, it's better to go out less."
The three of them did not deliberately hide the conversation from the two children. The little girl's face wrinkled again, as if she was thinking about something.
Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed the corner of He Junxia's clothes and asked, "Grandpa, is Tiantian's mother not coming back?"
Zong Kangping and Zhang Shuhui were confused and puzzled.
What happened to Tiantian’s mother? When did they become involved with her again?
He Junxia sighed and explained, "When the giant bird suddenly appeared, there was a giant bird trying to catch a little boy. It was Tiantian's mother who rushed forward and was caught by the bird in his place."
Zhang Shuhui's expression suddenly became extremely complicated.
She was very sure that there was something wrong with the look in Tiantian's mother's eyes every time she looked at her son, and that there was some inexplicable malice hidden in her eyes. Thanks to their strict protection of the child, she was prevented from succeeding.
But in the end, Deng Qinglan actually gave her life for a little boy she didn't even know.
Zhang Shuhui felt depressed and uncomfortable.
As a mother herself, she could probably guess what Deng Qinglan was thinking when she took the initiative to save the child. Perhaps she had already given up wanting to live.
well!
What is going on?
A good family and a good mother and son were destroyed just like that.
Zhang Shuhui touched her daughter's soft little face and used euphemisms to cover up the cruel truth: "Tiantian's mother missed Tiantian so much that she decided to go to heaven with Tiantian and become a fairy."
The clever Zong Yipeng tilted his head and said, "If I'm caught by a bird, can I go to heaven and become a god?"
Zhang Shuhui:?
Zhang Shuhui was shocked.
Her silly son must not think of letting himself be captured by a bird on purpose so that he can go to heaven to become a god and play with his brother Tiantian.
Zhang Shuhui sternly warned: "If you are caught by a bird, you will be eaten by it first. It will be very painful, and you will never see your parents, grandfather, and sister again."
Zong Yipeng: "But I can see grandma, and I can also play racing with brother Tiantian!"
Zhang Shuhui: ………
Zong Kangping & He Junxia: …………
The three of them fell into a strange silence. Why did their hands suddenly feel itchy? They really wanted to beat the kid.
He Junxia was silent for a moment and said, "Grandma likes quietness and doesn't like chattering children. You can't disturb her."
Zong Yipeng curled his lips: "Grandpa is lying, grandma clearly said that she loves me the most."
At this time, Zhang Lingjia suddenly interrupted: "You are lying, grandma's favorite person is me, not you."
Zong Yipeng: "It's me!"
Zhang Lingjia: "It's me!"
The two children started arguing with each other, using the same old words, which made the adults laugh and cry.
Zong Yipeng asked for help: "Grandpa, do you think grandma likes me the most?"
Zhang Lingjia also said angrily: "Grandpa, grandma likes me the most, right?"
He Junxia smiled slightly: "Grandma's favorite person is Grandpa."
The two children were silent.
However, compared to grandpa saying that grandma's favorite person is the other person, this answer is more acceptable to them.
You can’t get what I can’t get!
Zhang Shuhui came out at the right time to take charge: "Alright, hurry up and eat. If you dawdle any longer, the food will get cold. Don't force me to beat anyone up."
The two children immediately shut up and ate obediently.
Grandpa and Dad said that they might not spank people, but if they did it again after Mom had given them a warning, she would definitely spank them.
*
After dinner, I finally received a notice with white text on a blue background on my phone.
[Unidentified giant birds have been seen attacking humans in recent days in many places. Local governments are urgently organizing personnel to capture and kill the giant birds...]
Zhang Shuhui held her phone, still worried: "Those birds are huge, fly high, and their claws are sharper than knives. I don't know if the government can kill them all."
Zong Kangping looked at his wife's worried face, and his already unsteady heart became even more uncertain.
He Junxia said, "Why worry? If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. Relax, there's food and drink at home, so you won't starve to death. Otherwise, before the sky falls, you'll have problems in your hearts."
Zhang Shuhui sighed.
Ever since the strange white mist suddenly appeared, she had sighed more times than in the past few decades combined.
How can ordinary people survive safely in a world that is suddenly changing?
What about the future of the two children?
Unfortunately, it is useless to think about these things. Faced with the unknown future and the torrent of the new world, ordinary people can only try their best to adapt.
If you don't adapt, you will die.
Zhang Shuhui put aside all the distracting thoughts in her mind and turned to call the two children who were playing hide-and-seek in the living room: "Pengpeng, Jiajia, it's time to learn to read."
Her children must not be illiterate under any circumstances.
Zhang Shuhui took her two children back to the bedroom to study, while Zong Kangping was responsible for cleaning and washing dishes.
After he cleaned up the table, he suddenly thought of something and approached his father mysteriously and asked, "Dad, has Mom appeared in your dreams recently?"
He Junxia: "No."
Zong Kangping: "Really, Dad, can you just tell me through a message?"
Ever since the white fog appeared, his father suddenly became mysterious, and his temperament was completely different from before - if he was a simple old farmer before, now he gave people the impression of a hermit master.
If it weren't for the old wound on his father's arm, and if he still remembered the past and was still as kind to his two grandsons as ever, Zong Kangping would really think that his father was possessed by some feudal superstition.
He Junxia had no expression on her face: "No."
Rejected, Zong Kangping withdrew his gaze in disappointment, picked up the dirty dishes stacked on the dining table and returned to the kitchen.
Three days passed in a flash.
However, the government's bird eradication operation was far from as smooth as planned, and was even quite bad.
Those birds are agile and quick, only like to eat large living things, are indifferent to poison baits placed by humans, and have a strong resistance to poison.
Moreover, they are social animals with a strong sense of revenge. Once a companion is injured or killed, they will retaliate against humans at all costs.
Those sharp claws can pierce through thick steel plates and concrete walls, and the sharp beak can peck directly through the human skull.
In the battle between humans and giant birds, the casualty ratio between the two sides reached an astonishing 3:1. That is to say, for every three giant birds killed by humans, one human would die under the claws and beaks of the giant birds.
What a terrifying number!
Some people may think that exchanging one for three is a good deal, as one person’s death can kill three birds.
But you have to know that after humans officially entered the era of hot weapons, if it were not for the protection policies introduced by the government, those seemingly invincible beasts such as tigers and lions would have been extinct by humans long ago, let alone harming humans.
In order to kill those giant birds, the government came up with one method after another and even invited several bird experts to conduct analytical experiments.
These methods initially worked, but these giant birds are smarter than humans imagined—they can convey detailed information through their unique calls and can even distinguish between calls simulated by humans.
So when people just killed a giant bird and tried to lure other giant birds closer using the same method, they would find that the giant birds circling in the air would not take the bait.
Not only will they not take the bait, some giant birds will even cut through the security windows and take away the children in the room when the parents are not paying attention to avenge their companions.
When the first example appeared, it instantly ignited the entire Internet. Humans' hatred for the giant birds deepened further, and they also had a deeper understanding of the giant birds' intelligence and terror.
Under such circumstances, those who were originally full of confidence in the Bird Killing Operation could not help but become worried.
Can humans really deal with giant birds?
The answer is no, or not yet.
In order to protect people's travel as much as possible, the government had no choice but to change its policies and began to build electrified bird-proof nets in crowded places, encouraging residents to actively save themselves.
After the policy change on how to deal with giant birds, the public opinion on the Internet also changed rapidly, and netizens showed off the bird-proofing devices they had prepared at home and learned from each other's experiences.
The family of wishers that He Junxia belongs to is no exception.
There are two children at home, and they are extremely vigilant and are determined not to let Zong Yipeng and Zhang Lingjia get close to the balcony and the outer wall.
Now both children sleep with their parents for fear that the giant bird might suddenly attack them at night.
At the same time, the third white fog quietly descended.
What was strange was that this time the white mist was not the cold white color as before, but had an ominous red halo, as if they were not in the human world but in the eighteen levels of hell.
