MTL - The Return of Cambrian Period-Chapter 1 Global evolution

"At 4.27 pm Beijing time, a magnitude 8.3 earthquake struck the Golmud region of Qinghai, China, and the magnitude spread to hundreds of kilometers ..."

"This afternoon, a magnitude 8.3 earthquake hit Golmud, Qinghai. The impact of the earthquake is still inestimable, but the epicenter is more than 4,000 meters above sea level and is uninhabited for a hundred miles ..."

Cong Xia took a quick look at the earthquake information that was constantly emerging. The game group he added was also swiping the screen to discuss the earthquake. His finger quickly tapped on the keyboard: "It really is an earthquake. You can feel it from such a distance All wake me up! "

"Fortunately, in the Golmud uninhabited area, a magnitude 8.3 earthquake, it would be scary to die in any city."

"Yeah, fortunately, no man's land, I feel it all in Beijing."

"I also felt it in Yunnan."

"I'm also in Henan ..."

Seeing the hot discussion in the group, Cong Xia couldn't get in touch. He looked at his watch. It was already more than six in the afternoon. Yesterday, he stayed up late at night, and did not sleep until four in the morning. He woke up, because the magnitude of the earthquake was small, he thought he had hallucinations, and he got up on the net and took a look, and it turned out that there really was an earthquake.

But the earthquake didn't seem to have anything to do with him, and he didn't pay any attention.

Cong Xia rubbed his disheveled hair, took a bath in the bathroom, and then made two dishes and one soup neatly for himself, eating after chasing Xinfan.

Just halfway through, his cell phone rang. When he picked it up, he suddenly lost his appetite. He called his female boss. Generally, he called at this time, but nothing good happened. He sighed and connected. Phone, "Hey, President Jiang."

"Xiao Cong, at home?"

"No, play with a group of friends."

"Don't lie, my ears are so good. When I hear your background voice, I know you are at home, you have no girlfriend, and you will go to such a quiet place with a group of friends?"

Cong Xia smiled bitterly: "General Jiang, I surrendered. Am I going to the company now?"

"Sorry, it still takes up your Sunday time. Come on, the customer just told me that there was a loophole in the website. You can fix it."

Cong Xia thought you were embarrassed with your bare mouth. Give me overtime, your uncle.

He reluctantly hung up the phone and changed his clothes to go to the company.

Before leaving, it was certainly not only him who thought of going to work overtime, but he took out the steamed buns from the refrigerator last night, and brought them a few times.

The house he rented was very close to the company, and it was ten minutes by bike.

He went upstairs while listening to the song. The lights in their office really turned on, but only the office area was lit. The front desk of the company door was still a little dark, but it did not affect his walking. Will hit the wall. But today I do n’t know what happened. When he passed a potted plant, he was tripped, his body flung forward uncontrollably, and the man fell a dog. All fell out.

A loud bang made everyone in the office recruited. "Who?"

Cong Xia snorted on the ground, "I."

The two big brothers from the company came out and laughed. "What are you doing, Xiao Cong, you can fall on such a flat tile."

Cong Xia got up from the ground, "Is something tripping me ..."

The words didn't end, a big brother turned on the lights, and the three looked behind Cong Xia.

"Huh?" They both made surprise sounds.

The thick bonsai tree of the company's bonsai tree near the front desk has stretched out of the flowerpot, and some branches even fell to the ground. Cong Xia was tripped by that branch.

Cong Xia wondered, "Why does this ... grow so fast?"

The company's potted plants have regular care, and it is impossible to grow so unscrupulous. No one has cleaned it up. The key is that Cong Xia remembered that the bonsai pine was not abnormal when it was off the day before yesterday. If you grow up in a hurry, the company No one can't find it, has everyone overlooked it?

The elder brother who turned on the light also murmured, "Yeah, it's so big? Why am I not impressed? I didn't notice it when I passed by."

"I didn't pay attention, maybe because it's here all the year round, so everyone didn't pay attention to it. Let people trim it on Monday, Xiao Cong, are you all right? Here, your cell phone."

"It's okay." Cong Xia took the cell phone, adjusted his clothes, and looked at the bonsai pine again, always feeling strange in his heart.

"What is this?" Brother lifted the insulation box from the ground.

Cong Xia laughed: "Oh, I wrapped the buns yesterday. We'll be hungry for a while."

"Haha, our little clump is the most virtuous in the company, not even a girl." The elder brother patted his shoulder.

The other also said, "No, I went to Xiao Cong's last time. The room was clean and you were embarrassed to step on it."

Cong Xia smiled embarrassedly, "Let's hurry up and get back to bed."

The three turned on the computer and got busy.

Cong Xia is a network engineer. After graduating from this company, he has been working in this company for almost three years. Although his salary is not high and he often works overtime, he is a comfortable person. He has no choice but to change his life. .

The three were busy working until 11 o'clock in the evening, and finally fixed the loopholes. After communicating with the customers, they were ready to go home.

A big brother remembered the buns brought by Cong Xia, "Hey, let's eat the buns of Xiao Cong, I'm really hungry."

"I ate it."

When the insulation box was opened, the bun was still warm. A big brother grabbed it and took a bite. After chewing twice, he frowned slightly, "Xiao Cong, when did you make this bun?"

"Last night."

"Did you put the refrigerator?"

"Let ’s put it. How can we not put the refrigerator on such a hot day? When it came out, it was just defrosted from the refrigerator. What happened?"

"It doesn't seem too fresh to eat."

"No ..." Cong Xia took a bun and took a bite. The bun really tasted a bit wrong. Although it wasn't bad, it was like eating for three days. It was not very fresh, Cong Xia Qi said: "How can this happen? I just packed it last night and put it in the refrigerator right away ..."

The elder brother said busyly: "Maybe it's too hot, it's okay, but it's not bad. I ate this and don't waste it."

Cong Xia was busy, "Liu, don't eat it." He was a little embarrassed. "It may have been covered for a few hours. Don't eat it, so as to avoid diarrhea." Cong Xia looked at the remaining buns. It's a pity.

He took the buns from the refrigerator, put them directly in the microwave oven, and put them in a thermal insulation box. The thermal insulation box was thermostatic. It only took three or four hours. It shouldn't be broken. Already.

Cong Xia dumped the buns into the trash can, and the three of them chatted down the stairs together. They were still hungry, so they decided to go to a street stall nearby for a supper.

There were a lot of people around a food stall. It seemed that someone was arguing. He heard the angry roar all the way.

Everyone loves to see the lively heart, they go to that area, pass by the stall, only to hear a table guests and the boss of the stall quarrel.

The customer said that the seafood at the stall was not fresh. The boss insisted that it had just arrived in the morning and was always iced. It could not be fresh, so the noise became louder. Suddenly, one of the hot-tempered female passengers pushed the boss up. That boss was in front of the eyes, and was pushed out two or three meters away, and fell directly on the road, almost hitting Cong Xia.

The boss did not retreat backward two or three meters, but left his feet on the ground, flew out two or three meters, and fell to the ground.

Not only was Cong Xia startled, everyone was stunned.

The boss is a big fat man with a height of 1.80 meters and a large waist and a round waist. The female guest pushing him is less than 1.6 meters tall and looks very thin. She should not push the boss at all. She not only pushed but also pushed it out. So far, even a specially trained person is not likely to push a person who is 160 to 70 pounds in weight, subconsciously will stabilize his body, and push the person who creates resistance to thrust so far!

The noisy food stall just now is silent.

The female guest froze, looking at her hand a little helplessly.

"I rely, Hercules." Someone in the crowd exclaimed, and everyone around them suddenly blasted the pot and asked the female guest if she had practiced.

The female guest flushed, panic than the boss, and hurried away a few of her friends.

The boss didn't fall too much, mainly because he was shocked. When he came back, people were gone and he was so angry.

After this episode, the three picked a food stall, had a supper, and inevitably talked about the earthquake in Qinghai. Cong Xia, who always loves to talk, has no interest in this topic. He always feels that everything around him has started to be very different. Many details have puzzled him, but there is no direction to think about.

He has been curious since he was a child and loves to study. He has a very wide range of interests. If he is interested in anything, he will study it thoroughly. He used to spend two months studying rosewood because he chose a rosewood furniture for a friend. He also visited one accidentally. The mechanical processing plant became interested in assembly line machines and spent half a year trying to design a more efficient and energy-efficient machine. The drawings of the semi-finished product are still in his drawer. In short, he is a careful and sensitive person, and likes to make detailed observations of things around him. From the moment he woke up in the afternoon to the present, there have been many things that he cannot explain. These things will certainly be ignored in the eyes of others, but he is He felt that something was different, and that premonition was very strong, which made him very uncomfortable.

It was a fear of the unknown.

Returning home with anxiety, Cong Xia turned on the computer and watched the movie for a while, then the mood calmed down. He wanted to be sure that he was upside down day and night yesterday. He was too tired. He didn't have enough rest and was pulled to work overtime. Then he had some negative emotions. He should have a good night's sleep.

It was hot and he took another shower and went to bed.

In the middle of the night, he was suddenly awakened by a scream. The sound was extremely harsh, and it was downstairs.

The house rented by Cong Xia is on the street. On the third floor, the rent is cheaper. Fortunately, he sleeps better. The traffic from car to car does not affect his rest. He sat up suddenly from the bed, opened the curtains and looked downstairs.

Under the yellow street light, I saw a woman lying on the ground, and a cat-like thing was facing her. Cong Xia was short-sighted and could barely see these. He quickly put on his glasses and took a closer look. It was a cat, and the whole body was exploded, and the woman stepped back in horror, and a bloodstain was dragged on the ground.

Cong Xia was surprised. No matter what, an adult couldn't beat a cat. And it looked like the woman was bleeding a lot.

He put on his clothes and pants, ran downstairs in slippers, was running, and heard another scream.

Chong Xia trembled and rushed to the street, the scene in front of him made him creepy.

At this time, it was three or four at midnight, and there were no extra pedestrians on the street, otherwise everyone would be scared by the scene.

The gray-black wild cat fluttered on the woman's face, biting her head and neck frantically, and the woman was desperately struggling, but she couldn't shake it off, only screaming on the ground.

Cong Xia didn't think too much, went up and kicked the wild cat, and the wild cat howled and was kicked aside, but soon got up from the ground, staring at Cong Xia fiercely, his eyes glowing abnormally. Green light.

Cong Xia is not a bold person, but from the common sense, he really does not think that an adult should be afraid of a cat. In his judgment, the woman was drinking too much, so her limbs were weak, and the cat was obviously crazy.

The wild cat arched all over his back, and opened his mouth and gave an unpleasant roar towards Cong Xia, but he yelled several times and did not dare to approach. Cong Xia stomped his feet, and the wild cat turned and ran away.

Cong Xia breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was not afraid of the cat, it was definitely uncomfortable to bite on the back of the cat, not to mention the cat was still sick.

He quickly squatted down to check the woman's injury. The woman's face was bitten by a leash, although the wound was not deep, but it must have been broken. The serious injury came from her neck, and the cat was on her neck. A long and deep wound was scratched and bitten, and the bleeding was not endless. Cong Xia also did some research on medicine. This injury did not hurt the arteries. With the cat's grasping and biting power, it was not possible to scratch a human aorta, but the blood flow It's shocking enough.

Cong Xia rushed back upstairs, called 120 on the phone, then went downstairs with money, waited for the ambulance, and took the woman to the hospital.

He used the woman's cell phone to call her family, and then left with more than two hundred medical bills. He was so sleepy that he just wanted to go back to sleep. He felt that he was really unlucky today and came across a bunch Somehow.

After going back, he couldn't sleep, and there was more than an hour before Tianming. He kept thinking about what happened today in bed, and the more he thought, the more he felt wrong. Is he too sensitive, or has something really changed around him?

He rolled over and suddenly remembered that he had to go to the company hurriedly today. The dinner tableware was still forgotten to brush in the kitchen. He simply couldn't sleep and got up to clean the kitchen.

When he saw the rest of his meals in the kitchen today, he just felt a chill running from overhead to the soles of his feet.

He left the house at about 7 pm, and now it is 4 am the next day, in just 9 hours, his dinner food has actually started to grow hair!

The weather is hot, and the food is started outdoors **. It can be understood that the normal phenomenon should be sour. How can the mutation of bacteria be so fast? This is not in line with scientific laws.

He rushed into the cabinet, opened a jar of yogurt he bought yesterday, and smelled of an abnormal sour taste. He went crazy and took all the dry goods stored at home and foods that can be stored for a long time at room temperature. After coming out, they were found without exception, all of them were broken.

Cong Xia was dumbfounded.

He rushed back to the bedroom, turned on the computer, quickly typed keywords into the search engine, and quickly waited for keywords. As a result, a lot of new information appeared, and all netizens across the country claimed that their things were corrupting at an abnormal rate. . Cong Xia extracted the IP address of this information and input it into the statistical software. It was found that most of this information was sent by the central and western regions, and those who opposed it said that the food was not abnormal, all of which were in the southeast region.

This result surprised Cong Xia. After thinking for a minute, he suddenly remembered the earthquake in the afternoon.

He further analyzed the results. According to the IP address of those information, he concluded that the closer to the Golmud region in Qinghai, the more serious the food acceleration situation, and the farther away from Golmud, the phenomenon was lighter, and even In the three eastern provinces and the southeast coastal area, there was no abnormality at all.

The phenomenon of food acceleration is like the aftershocks of an earthquake, with Golmud as the center, and it continues to spread throughout the country.

There must be something wrong with that earthquake!
