Chapter 129 Is the end coming?

Zhao Yunduo didn't react yet. "Next year's Spring Festival? I remember you like this movie very much. When you go to see it, remember to buy a ticket for me, and then..."

Before she could finish her words, she paused.

"Sister Orange, when did the apocalypse begin?"

Zhao Yunduo suddenly turned around and asked Zhou Micheng.

Zhou Micheng raised his head slightly, looked at the ceiling and thought seriously before saying, "It was around July or August 2026. There were more than a dozen cases of people biting each other, which were reported abroad as cases of people going crazy after taking Damascene. Later, when it happened in China, it was already a large-scale incident."

"Yes, yes. I had just finished the college entrance examination and was ready to go on a trip. I finally convinced my parents and planned to go to Xinjiang for fun! I didn't expect that before I even got on the bus, the news reported that citizens should not go out unless necessary."

The one who spoke was Chen Shaolan. She was holding a bottle of Coke, with an angry look on her face. "If the end of the world was going to happen, it couldn't have come earlier! It waited until I finished the college entrance examination before it broke out! In the end, I finally finished the exam and the results came out... Sigh, the biggest regret of my life is that I don't know whether the 211 university I applied for in the college entrance examination accepted me."

"There was also my mortgage. I finally paid it off and was ready to enjoy the rest of my life with no debt and a house, but then the end of the world came. I was holed up in my old, run-down house. I had planned to live and die with my house, but I almost starved to death in it..."

"Me too! Although I haven't paid off my mortgage yet, I've paid it off for several years. If I had known there would be an apocalypse, I wouldn't have bought a house. I would have gone out to have a good time before the apocalypse came!"

Talking about everything before the end of the world, more than a dozen people chattered and recalled, only Zhao Yunduo remained silent.

Not only because she had no memory or experience of the end of the world, but also because of the sound of Shen Linglan's collapse on the other side of her consciousness.

"Does that mean that in half a year, there will be zombies in my world too..."

Shen Linglan had never thought about this. Even when Zhao Yunduo traveled to the end of the world and the first people she met were the poor, vicious and fat couple from their old residence, Shen Linglan just thought it was a different world.

There is also Lu Shaohua from the Unnatural Events Research Bureau, who repeatedly tracks down strange substances in the sewers. At first, Shen Linglan really thought that it was accidentally leaked from Zhang Shengnan's laboratory.

There is also Aunt Ye's son who went abroad, Liang Youjun. He seems to know something about the zombie virus...

All these thoughts kept churning through Shen Linglan's mind.

She had always believed that the world was a peaceful and stable modern world where zombies would never appear. But now, she was shaken uncontrollably.

"S109," Shen Linglan's voice trembled slightly, "Will zombies appear in my world next year? Or are there small-scale cases now, but they have not been reported yet... Is Duo'er's world the same as mine?"

Several questions were thrown at the system S109 at the same time. S109 was silent for a long time, so long that Shen Linglan thought he would not answer. Then she heard the system's usually calm male voice suddenly increase the volume and utter a single syllable:

"S--rip--ss--ss--"

Then, a sound like an electromagnetic cassette came from Shen Linglan's head, followed by a strange wave of electric current.

Then all was quiet again in an instant.

"S109? Hello? System?"

Shen Linglan's voice never received a response, and the system remained silent for a long time.

Just when Shen Linglan thought the system had failed, the same mechanical sound as at the beginning sounded again, "Hello, host, system S109 just failed and has been restarted. S109 will continue to serve you."

Shen Linglan: “……?”

System S109 asked again: "Host, please repeat your question."

Shen Linglan patiently asked again, "Are zombies going to appear in my world too?"

System S109 seemed to have suddenly lost its vitality. The voice of the entire system became emotionless, just like Siri in a mobile phone. The answer it gave was just like a robot: "Sorry, host, system S109 cannot answer your question."

Shen Linglan: "Okay, I've reverted the system back to factory default."

She found out that system S109 really couldn't tell her the answer. Or maybe S109 wanted to tell her the answer at first, but was punished by the main system?

In short, Shen Linglan, who couldn't get any answers, could only find other ways.

She remembered how Aunt Ye Chuhua had persuaded her to add Liang Youjun's contact information. She opened a green chat software and typed on her phone for a long time, but she always felt that nothing she said was appropriate.

After thinking about it, I decided to call Liang Youjun directly.

Unexpectedly, Liang Youjun was stunned after answering the phone, "Who are you?"

Shen Linglan said, "Hello, Mr. Liang, do you remember me? I am Shen Linglan who bought your house in Fusheng Haoyuan Community."

Liang Youjun then remembered that this was the girl who bought her own house and helped him to save up enough money for studying abroad.

"Hello, is there any problem with the house?"

"No..." Shen Linglan hesitated for a moment and decided to get straight to the point. "I heard from your mother that you seem to think that there is some unknown danger in this world that will turn our world into the end of the world?"

Liang Youjun didn't seem to expect Shen Linglan to say this to him.

He subconsciously glanced at his mother who was sitting next to him. Ye Chuhua felt his gaze and looked at his son in confusion, "What's the matter?"

Liang Youjun subconsciously thought that her mother was trying to set up a matchmaker, so she deliberately told the other girl about this in order to bring the two strangers closer together.

When he was about to refuse Shen Linglan, Shen Linglan said, "I think so too. Can we talk about it?"

Before Liang Youjun could say yes or no, Shen Linglan had already given him an address and arranged to meet in half an hour to discuss the details.

After hanging up the phone, Liang Youjun touched the back of his head and asked his mother in confusion, "Ms. Ye, what red thread are you tying for me again?"

Ye Chuhua's expression changed from one of puzzlement to a grin that stretched to her ears when she realized that the person on the other end of the line was Shen Linglan.

"Linglan called you! If a girl asks you out, just go. You don't know how much your mother likes her! She is polite and pretty, and has a successful career at a young age. By the way, although she is still studying at Q University, she has opened a biotechnology company. Oh, I checked it online, and the company is very powerful! Many young people like her company very much."

After that, Ye Chuhua showed Liang Youjun the website homepage of the company called SZ Biosciences.

Liang Youjun didn't expect that Shen Linglan actually ran a company. That's right, anyone who can buy a three-bedroom apartment in full must not be an ordinary person.

He looked down and found that this biotechnology company was not small and even had a large laboratory under it. He finally became interested in Shen Linglan's invitation.
