Chapter 1 The Outside World

Episode 3, the thought of long and short signs.

The outside world.

Time: The first year of the New Year, the 101st day after the Cataclysm, at 12:43 noon.

Location: 1 Stadium of F University, Shi City.

The heat of the fire was raging, and there was no pollution from factories and cars exhaust. More than three months seemed to make the air much fresher, but people no longer had the mood to breathe fresh air because they were suffering from the scorching sun.

In order to receive supplies, no one dares to disrupt the order of queues even if they are hot. The only thing they can do is look out and look out for the endless queue.

Whenever patrol soldiers pass by, people become more restrained, fearing that they will accidentally make mistakes and will be pulled out of the line that has been queued for a long time.

Several trucks were parked at the end of the line, and more than a dozen soldiers were handing out food for the next three days to those in line.

Since an inexplicable white light lit up the earth for a whole week, humans ushered in this catastrophe. Almost at the same time, all electrical appliances were burned, all communications were mysteriously interrupted, and the world was in chaos.

However, the most terrible thing was that not long after, humans around the world began to fall to the ground and die without warning at the same time according to their age! Sixty, fifty, forty, and forty, this strange shock did not stop quietly until the age of thirty.

You should know that they are the backbone and pillars active in various industries, especially government departments. As a result, the order collapsed and a new calendar began.

Although there were no senior leaders, each army with a complete configuration still responded quickly. They each acted independently and maintained the public order of the nearby big cities.

The order seems to be recovering, and people have regained confidence in the future. Clinker, this catastrophe has only just begun.

"Xiao Mo, I finally found you. Is the position today quite high?" Outside the long queue, a nice woman's voice came softly.

When the handsome young man named Jiang Mo heard this voice, he immediately became energetic and smiled unconsciously to look for the voice. What caught his eye was a very pretty girl who had almost all the advantages a beauty could possess. If she hadn't been wearing a pair of thick black-framed glasses and a bookish scent on her face, others would probably think she was a star just packaged by a performing arts company.

"Lingling, uh, sister-in-law, I came out early today, come here quickly."

As he spoke, Jiang Mo leaned back his body and gave up a free space in front of him. However, he did not say that he had been waiting here for a whole night in order to line up a higher position.

The girl's name is Su Lingling, who is Jiang Mo's classmate and his crush.

Jiang Mo still remembers the beautiful morning when he registered at F University. The sun shone through the train window on the face of a beautiful girl. The girl was very quiet and was enjoying the music with her eyes closed. At this moment, Jiang Mo was so obsessed with watching. Maybe this was the feeling of falling in love at first sight.

What happened afterwards made Jiang Mo even more happy. The girl actually came from the same city as her, got admitted to the same university as her, and coincidentally she was assigned to the same class as herself. When Jiang Mo heard the news, his heart almost stopped beating. A voice kept shouting in his heart, "Fate, our fate."

This girl is Su Lingling, but the person Jiang Mo's crush was his elder brother. As early as the girl's high school, Jiang Mo's brother Jiang Han was a famous figure in the school. He was first-class in sports and looks, especially his calm temperament has won the hearts of countless girls. Su Lingling is also one of the many girls who have crushed Jiang Han. She studied hard because she learned that Jiang Han had been admitted to F University and finally got what she wanted and got into this prestigious school.

All of this, the seemingly accidental encounter becomes close to necessity after adding the element of Jiang Han.

Su Lingling nodded happily and wanted to join the team, but the boy behind Jiang Mo interrupted unhappily, "How can you jump into the line? Do you still have some public morality?"

"We are together." Jiang Mo hurriedly explained as soon as he heard this.

"So what if we are together?" the boy said unyieldingly, "No one in this school has 180 acquaintances. If you all have an acquaintance like you, you will be in the line. Are we waiting in line until the evening to have no meals?"

The boys are not unreasonable. The army prohibits the food on their behalf, so everyone can only queue up to get their own. Jiang Mo and Su Lingling used to ignore this because there were few people who went to the line, and the other was that they were embarrassed to speak when they saw the girl being beautiful. However, as time went by, people's tempers became more and more irritable, so naturally some people couldn't swallow this.

After hearing the accusations from the people behind him, Jiang Mo also felt that he was a little inappropriate, so he stepped out of the team, pushed Su Lingling in with his backhand, and sincerely said to the boy behind him: "I'm sorry, I'll give this position to her and it won't affect the people behind him."

"What do you do?" Su Lingling immediately became worried when she saw it.

"I'm fine." Jiang Mo waved his hand to Su Lingling, and then looked at the team that could not see the side. "I can't die of hunger, I can go back and rearrange it."

"Hahaha." Just as Su Lingling was about to abide by Jiang Han's concession, the boy suddenly burst into laughter. "Beauty, why did you follow such a coward?"

With the collapse of order, there is no legal constraint between people, and more and more people are talking and doing things as they please, no longer scrutinizing the ideas of people around them. Fighting incidents occur every day, but the military wants to manage them but is no longer able to do so.

Hearing the boy's sarcasm, Jiang Mo's fists felt tighter, but he immediately forced himself to suppress his anger. From childhood to adulthood, impulse was his only weakness, and his brother criticized him countless times for this.

After his emotions turned sharply, Jiang Mo quickly returned to peace. Because he was also very smart, he knew that there were many patrol personnel who maintained order around him when he was distributing food. If he had a conflict with this person, they might not be able to get their rations today. However, when he saw Su Lingling turn her head embarrassedly and not make any excuses for him, he still felt a little uncomfortable.

However, the silence of the two people was seen in the boy's eyes, which made them feel that these two were easy to bully. He stood behind Su Lingling, and was itchy when he looked at the beautiful hooker's crime figure.

"Beauty, why don't you follow me. I can protect you." Thinking of Jiang Mo's cowardly appearance, the boy's behavior immediately became more and more arrogant. His body actually touched Su Lingling, and a thief hand blatantly touched Su Lingling's skirt.

This scene fell into Jiang Mo's eyes and made his eyes burst. Calm down? Just calm down! Seeing that the girl he liked was about to be taken advantage of, Jiang Mo's calmness disappeared in an instant.

Impulse is his biggest weakness, but this cannot be tolerated!

The next moment, the boy suddenly felt a sharp pain on his face before his thief touched Su Lingling's body, and then his body flew out of the middle of the team. Then he lost consciousness.

Jiang Mo's heavy punch knocked down the boy, which caused exclamations from the people around him without any surprise. Hearing the riot, Jiang Mo suddenly came to his senses. It was bad and he was in trouble again.

Seeing that several soldiers were running towards her nearby, Jiang Mo, who had calmed down, immediately instructed Su Lingling: "Pretend to not know me, and in the next few days, anyone asked you for help in my name, don't believe me, wait for me to go back to find you."

Seeing Su Lingling nodding slightly, Jiang Mo felt a little relieved. He quickly walked over and pulled the boy who had been knocked back, trying to stay away from the scene.

At this time, several soldiers had already arrived near, and their dark muzzles were aimed at Jiang Mo. Seeing this, Jiang Mo cooperated with her head and leaned on the ground with her hands in her arms.

The soldier took away the gun and handcuffed Jiang Mo in a few seconds.

"Where are you going to take him?" Just as they were about to take Jiang Mo away, Su Lingling suddenly rushed over. She didn't expect that things would develop so much that she actually put handcuffs on her hands.

If ordinary events occur, soldiers will take people away directly. Those handcuffed cases will only occur in bad events, and it is said that those who have been handcuffed will be taken to a special place and have never happened again.

Jiang Mo frowned, is this woman an idiot? Why did you tell her just now? Why did you forget it all in a blink of an eye?

"Take it away together." Unexpectedly, the soldier who looked like a squad leader waved his hand without asking the reason, and immediately another soldier escorted Su Lingling over and handcuffed Jiang Mo with Jiang Mo.

Jiang Mo gritted his teeth, "You are confused! Do you know how dangerous it would be if your identity changed from a civilian to a prisoner!"

"But!" Su Lingling argued: "If I don't care about you, how should I explain to your brother when I see you in the future."

It turned out that he didn't know how to explain to his elder brother. Jiang Mo couldn't help feeling a feeling of loss. He cheered up and squeezed out a smile and said, "Don't worry, my elder brother will definitely come back to find us."

At this moment, Jiang Mo suddenly realized that Su Lingling's eyes were a little strange, with a ghostly expression.

What did she see? Jiang Mo hurriedly turned around and was stunned by the scene in front of her. In the sky, countless black dots were densely covered with black clouds and flew from afar, and the ground also had a subtle tremor. After a moment, a harsh air defense alarm sounded loudly.

Not long after, the tremor from the ground became stronger and stronger, and almost everyone felt it. Is this an earthquake? At this time, tens of thousands of people on the playground suddenly became panicked.

Jiang Mo's left hand was cuffed with Su Lingling's right hand. Feeling the vibration of the ground, Jiang Mo suddenly felt something was wrong. He whispered to Su Lingling and left, then grabbed Su Lingling's hand without saying anything, and immediately ran away.

This was the first time he held Su Lingling's hand. He was in a very complicated mood at this time and he didn't know if his heartbeat was due to an accident or something else.

Su Lingling suddenly lost her mind in this kind of emergency. Her mind was blank, and she could only escape mechanically with Jiang Mo. Several soldiers did not care about the two of them escaping after receiving the warning, and quickly rushed to the place where the alarm was issued.

"Xiao Mo, where are you going?" Su Lingling, who had just come to her senses, finally asked.

"Administrative Building." Jiang Mo's breath was still stable while running, and his voice told Su Lingling the destination smoothly.

"But." Su Lingling frowned and questioned when she heard this: "If it was an earthquake, would it be more dangerous to hide in the room?"

"It's not an earthquake." Jiang Mo said firmly: "Just just now, the things flying from the sky were big birds. Do you know how big they are? I saw them bypassing a cloud. At that height, the size you see. Have you ever seen how big the plane is in the sky? These birds are not much smaller than the plane."

"How could it be?" Su Lingling couldn't believe her ears.

Jiang Mo did not care about Su Lingling's expression and continued: "Also, the vibration on the ground is not an earthquake at all."

"It's not an earthquake?" Su Lingling became even more confused, "How do you know it's not an earthquake?"

Seeing that Su Lingling still had an unbelievable expression, Jiang Mo could only explain.

"Earthquakes produce longitudinal waves and transverse waves. Since transverse waves propagate at a slower speed than longitudinal waves, if it is an earthquake, you will first feel bumps up and down and then shake left and right. The main destructive force of an earthquake comes from transverse waves that shake left and right. However, until now, there has never been shaking after the bumps. This shows that the source of the earthquake only has longitudinal waves, and this is definitely not an earthquake."

"So, then what's going to be shaking?"

"You can imagine the scene of thousands of horses galloping, but you have to replace ten thousand horses with millions of giant beasts!"

"ah!"
