Chapter 4 Mysterious Text Message on the Fourth Day Before Doomsday
“The end of the world is coming!
The first natural disaster is the gray fog!
The initial symptom is coughing, and in the later stages the lungs will be corroded and disappear.
At first, you just need to stay indoors and close the doors and windows. But you must wear an N95 mask when you go out, and a gas mask is even better.
In the later stage, you need to wear it for a long time even indoors. The gray fog may even corrode the body and cause allergies in people with poor physical fitness.
Try not to expose your skin to the air, and wear protective clothing if possible.
The natural disasters that followed included heavy rain, extreme cold, extreme heat, insect plagues, etc.
Everyone should stock up on food, water, medicine and self-defense tools.
Good luck to you all.”
Qiao Qiao @ed some official accounts at the end of the article and bought 100 yuan of promotion on various websites, hoping that more people would see it.
In fact, she could feel that there were other natural disasters, but she didn't remember them after waking up from the dream.
Doomsday Forum.
"People post this kind of information every day, and I don't know who is real and who is fake."
"Anyway, I have already prepared hundreds of boxes of canned food and drinking water. I have nothing to fear."
"The end of the world is coming! I don't want to go to this crappy class for even a day."
"OP, please just post this information here. Don't post it outside. Be careful of your account being blocked."
Compared to the good reception of the Doomsday Forum, other websites have a different style.
“Why is this thing on my homepage?”
"Another ad? This time it's selling masks, right?"
"Spreading rumors, reporting it."
"You dare to @ the official? You really are asking for your life."
“I have reported it.”
After hearing the news, Qiao Qiao left directly and went to a barber shop to get her hair cut.
After the apocalypse, there is a shortage of water and electricity, making it difficult to take a bath or wash your hair. Naturally, long hair is also a burden.
"Hello, what hairstyle do you want?" the barber asked after washing my hair.
"Cut it short, just to the ear level." Qiao Qiao said.
"OK."
Looking at the barber's skillful techniques, Qiao Qiao felt that he should also buy a few sets of barber supplies so that he could cut his hair himself when he grew taller in the future.
On the way back, I picked up a few takeouts and express deliveries.
As soon as I entered the community, I received a call from my best friend.
"Xiao Qiao Qiao, why did you mail me dozens of boxes of biscuits and bread, and so many masks!"
"It's the end of the world, and I'm afraid you're not prepared enough." Qiao Qiao put on the Bluetooth headset and held the express delivery in both hands.
There are too many people in the community and it is impossible to store them all in the system backpack.
"Are you serious?!" Li Chuxue then realized that something was wrong.
Although my best friend is an old ACG person and her ideas are sometimes different from those of ordinary people, she is still very reliable. She bought so many things and swore so confidently, could it be that...
"Did you hear any information?" Li Chuxue raised her voice unconsciously.
"Well, I can't tell you the source. If you believe me, you still have time to stock up now. Starting tomorrow, don't go out easily."
"Thank you for your life-saving grace. I will leave immediately!"
Li Chuxue's family originally engaged in real estate. They are rich and well-connected. As long as she puts her heart into it, a few days will be enough to prepare.
After entering the elevator, Qiao Qiao swiped the card without using his hands, and when he was about to put down the box, two people walked in.
The boy's good figure cannot be hidden even in casual clothes, his face is exquisite and picturesque, and there is even a teardrop mole at the right corner of his eye.
The girl was also wearing casual clothes, with short hair and a teardrop mole at the left corner of her eye. She stood straight, and usually she was either a soldier or a police officer.
They both look like twins.
"Which floor are you going to?" Unlike her appearance, the girl's voice was exceptionally gentle, giving people a feeling of wanting to get close to her.
"The top floor." Qiao Qiao came back to her senses and realized that it was impolite to stare at others, so she smiled embarrassedly.
"What a coincidence, we're also on the top floor." The girl stepped forward and swiped her card.
"Ah?" Qiao Qiao was a little surprised.
This residential complex has one elevator and two households. She remembered that there was an elderly couple living opposite them, and their daughter was studying abroad.
How did they suddenly become twins?
Just as Qiao Qiao was brainstorming, the elevator arrived.
Qiao Xinghe was cleaning the corridor. When he saw Qiao Qiao coming back, he quickly took the express and greeted the twins.
"Hey, Zhijie and Mingli are back. Are they going to live here permanently from now on?"
"Hello, Uncle Qiao. The house over there has been sold, and we will live here permanently from now on." The twins greeted.
"Okay, neighbors should take care of each other from now on. I'll go back first." Qiao Xinghe walked into the house carrying the express delivery.
The twins also came in and closed the door.
"Dad, who are they? Aren't they Aunt Wang and her family across the street?" After closing the door, Qiao Qiao put the express delivery into the system backpack.
"Your Aunt Wang and her family missed their daughter so much that they sold their house and settled abroad.
They just moved here, about a month ago. They were busy selling their previous house and didn't come here often, so it's normal that you don't know.
They are twins, four years older than you. The boy is Tang Zhijie, who graduated from graduate school last year. He seems to have studied computer science and is now starting a business.
The girl's name is Tang Mingli, she is a police officer and was transferred to the Public Security Bureau opposite this year. That's why she bought the house here."
"Oh, no wonder, I feel like girls are either police officers or soldiers." Qiao Qiao said.
"Okay, the meal is ready, wash your hands and eat." Qiao Huizhou brought the prepared meal to the living room and turned on the TV.
"Okay!"
At seven o'clock in the evening, the three of them were sitting on the sofa, eating fruit and watching the news.
The news reported a lot of disaster situations around the world, but there was no news about the impending gray fog.
"Alas, the news wasn't broadcast." Qiao Xinghe couldn't help but sigh.
"For some reason, weather satellites cannot detect the arrival of natural disasters." As for the reason, it was not explained until he died in his dream.
At first everyone thought it was just an ordinary gray fog, who would have thought that this was the beginning of the end of the world.
Qiao Huizhou was keeping accounts on the side. Currently, all 70 slots in Qiao Qiao's system backpack were full, and even the second floor was filled with supplies.
Only more than 200,000 yuan was left out of more than 10 million yuan, most of which was used to buy gold jewelry, leaving only a few tens of thousands of yuan in cash.
Although the end of the world is coming, the money in the early stage is still useful, so it is kept at home for future use.
Just as she was settling the bill according to her mobile phone payment information, she received a text message.
[After testing, it is less than 12 hours away from the end of the world on Blue Planet.
In order to preserve the fire, the beta version of the Doomsday Card Drawing System is launched.
Please send your name and address. XXX, a certain city in a certain district in a certain country on a certain planet. Valid for 60 minutes, no waiting after the time limit. 】
"Qiao Qiao! Lao Qiao! Look what this is?" Qiao Huizhou felt something was right when he saw the text message and quickly called the two over.
"The beta version of the card drawing system never appeared in my dream." Qiao Qiao didn't understand either.
"I received it too." Qiao Xinghe turned on his cell phone and received a text message.
"I don't have it." Qiao Qiao didn't find it on her phone. "Maybe it's because I already have a system."
Qiao Huizhou checked their cell phones but couldn't see who sent the text messages.
"It shouldn't be a scam. Let's send it and see."
"Okay, there's no money in the card anyway, so I don't have to worry about being scammed." Qiao Xinghe usually listens to his wife's advice.
[Qiao Huizhou, City A, Northeast Region, Blue Star Fei Country.]
[Qiao Xinghe, City A, Northeast District, Blue Star Fei Country.]
I received a reply as soon as I sent it successfully.
[The beta version of the Doomsday Card Drawing System has been sent, arriving at 0:00]
The three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
"All you have to do next is wait. The card drawing system usually refreshes at 0 o'clock." Qiao Qiao said.
"good."
Just then, Qiao Xinghe received a call from home.
First, it was my parents. As soon as I answered the phone, I was bombarded with complaints.
"What did you send home? Rice, flour, oil, and other cheap goods. If you really want to be filial, it would be more practical to send some money."
"If customers send a lot, I'll mail some to you. There's gray fog recently, so don't go out unless necessary and keep the doors and windows closed. Be sure to wear a mask when you go out." Qiao Xinghe was already used to it and ignored their words.
"Okay, I know, it's all useless." Then he hung up the phone.
Qiao Xinghe laughed sarcastically.
The next call I received was from my sister in the capital.
"Brother, I just got off work and I have received the things you mailed. Thank you. I will come back to see you when I have time and holiday."
"Okay." He also reminded me not to go out recently.
Qiao Qiao called Li Chuxue first.
"I received a text message, something about the Doomsday Card Drawing System, did you receive it?" Qiao Qiao said in panic, pretending not to understand.
"Let me see, fuck! I got it too, what is this, a scam text message?"
"I don't know. I sent a text message saying that I received it successfully. Why don't you try it too?"
"Okay, I'll send it right away. For now, I'm going to go pick up the goods. I just bought a large batch of food."
Li Chuxue casually sent the message and went to direct the unloading without even looking for the reply.
Qiao Qiao sent the same message in the university dormitory group.
"Your account hasn't been hacked, has it?"
"No……"
"Be careful of scammers. There are scams everywhere in the news lately."
“Have you downloaded the anti-fraud app?”
"I downloaded it, no, don't you guys want to try it?"
"Only a fool would try it. You're obviously a liar."
"I received the things you mailed. Why are you acting like my grandparents, sending people rice, flour, grain and oil?"
"Nothing, it was given to me by someone else."
Seeing this, Qiao Qiao said no more.
If the situation remains unchanged, everyone will get the card drawing system in the second year of the apocalypse. With these foods, they should be able to survive until then.
She has done her best, and the rest depends on each person's luck.
At the same time, the opposite door.
Tang Zhijie previously made a small program for mobile phones that can block most harassing text messages, but unfortunately it cannot be used on a large scale.
He looked at the text message on his phone with some confusion, "Mingli, did you receive any harassing text messages?"
Tang Mingli was playing games on the sofa. "Ah? Let me see. What kind of new scam text message is this? It was actually sent to my phone!"
Tang Mingli sat up straight instantly, feeling insulted.
"Look at me fishing for law enforcement!"
She sent a message directly.
[Tang Mingli, City A, Northeast Region, Blue Star Crimson Country]
[The beta version of the Doomsday Card Drawing System has been sent, arriving at 0:00]
"? Just like that? Shouldn't you call me immediately?" Tang Mingli was a little confused for a moment.
"Maybe it's not a scam or a joke." Tang Zhijie suddenly remembered that the house opposite had been under renovation recently, and even an explosion-proof door was installed.
Thinking of this, he sent a tentative reply.
[Tang Zhijie, City A, Northeast Region, Blue Star Fei Country]
[The beta version of the Doomsday Card Drawing System has been sent, arriving at 0:00]
"Let's see what happens next." The reflection of the computer shone on Tang Zhijie's blue light blocking glasses, making it impossible to see his expression clearly.
A research institute.
"What's this?"
A military base.
There were several soldiers in uniform sitting in the conference room.
"Tell me what's going on! I must have installed special software on my phone, how can I still receive unknown text messages?"
"Commander, we have also received it, and the technical department is deciphering it."
An internet celebrity who is live streaming.
"Family, I just received a text message. It says it's the end of the world. I'm going to be given a spot in the game's internal beta test. I need to send my name and address. It will arrive at 0:00. Let's look forward to what it is!"
