Chapter 4

After a stroll, Zhang Mu returned with a full load. He looked for a place with a sparse population and raised his hand to look at a pair of quartz watches that he had just found in a second-hand watch shop.

Although the style of this watch looks a little old-fashioned, it is really cheap and looks very useful. After some bargaining, only 100 yuan was taken by Zhang Mu.

"At 19:34, there are still half an hour and two minutes. It's OK. It's time to come."

"Fifteen packs of compressed biscuits, five bottles of water, twenty ham sausage, two white candles and two disposable lighters. Save it. It should be enough for these three days."

A pair of comfortable sneakers, the cheapest clothes and an extra large mountaineering bag have almost given Zhang Mu all his money here.

For Zhang Mu, it can be said that shoes are the most luxurious thing here, but there is no way. Taste buds can be wronged, but feet can't be wronged. Wronged, maybe he confessed his life in Luoyang before he realized any ambition.

Zhang Mu looked at the bulging mountaineering bag in front of her, and her heart was a little stable.

Although time was running out, in order to ensure his good condition, he sat cross legged against the cool wall and rested for a while.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Mu, who had recovered a little, stood up and quickly inserted the Tang Dao into the mountaineering bag behind him, revealing only one handle outside.

After running all the way, he came to the last stop of his procurement, a small vegetable market.

At this point, it's almost time to close the door. Many stall owners are cleaning the table, and Zhang Mu goes straight in.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Mu walked out of the market with a black garbage bag.

He looked down at his watch again. There were 15 minutes left. Zhang Mu breathed out, and his dignified look gradually eased over.

Knowing that there was still plenty of time, he slowly came to his final destination, people's Square.

Bypassing the crowd, Zhang Mu went straight to the top of the lawn, shook his shoulder, threw his sinking mountaineering bag, leaned against an ancient locust tree with a large shade, and sat down.

With a fine grass in his mouth, he quietly looked at the crowded road in the distance from the perspective of a bystander, and watched the gradually falling afterglow sprinkle on the lawn in front of him. Zhang Mu understood that this peace could last for the last five minutes. But at this moment, his restless heart finally settled down.

Everything is ready. The next step is to wait quietly for the end of the world.

"Zi... Zi... Zi..."

When the time came, the crystal piece of the quartz watch began to vibrate.

Zhang Mu's pupils coagulated and suddenly looked up at the suddenly changing sky in the distance.

Sure enough, it was the same time. A clearly visible ripple with a shocking deterrent shook in all directions from directly above the sky.

This ripple means Evolution, here we go.

"Ding..."

Hearing the strange and familiar voice, the silent blood in Zhang Mu's heart boiled.

When the ripple swept across the whole planet in an instant, his whole body couldn't move at all. The crowd on the road was the same as him, with different expressions and fresh movements for the last second. The bird just spreading its wings in front of Zhang Mu also kept an upward posture ready to flutter.

Time seems to freeze at this moment.

Just after the ripple swept Zhang Mu's body, he smiled helplessly.

"Is it still as like as two peas?"

Half a year after the end of the world, people knew that this ripple was an opportunity for evolution. At this moment, the soul of human beings with evolutionary potential would produce a tingling and burning feeling that ordinary people don't have.

Although somewhat disappointed, Zhang Mu quickly adjusted her mood and waited quietly for what was about to happen.

Three seconds later, Zhang Mu waited for the cold and clear mechanical sound, which echoed in everyone's mind and shook the depths of his soul.

"Test site 47 is open."

"From now on, within three natural days, it will be the commissioning time for the test site. The risk coefficient will be increased to three times that of the initial stage."

"A new era, code named blissful, begins."

The mechanical voice paused, changed the painting style, and suddenly had some humanized banter.

"Ten seconds later, the first batch of eliminated test articles will be randomly selected. We don't need people with bad luck."

"Remember not to come out during the debugging period these days. However, I don't think you will have this idea."

"Ha ha ha..."

As the creepy laughter fell, all the imprisoned people regained their ability to move in an instant. Unlike the disbelief, fear and shock in the noisy crowd, Zhang Mu's eyes only have deep sadness.

For the first time, he was not much better than the mood of ordinary people. After all, his body was out of his control and there was an unknown voice. This supernatural phenomenon was really shocking.

But this is the second time.

The words "test article", "test site 47" and "elimination" hit Zhang Mu's heart like a heavy hammer.

With a little luck, later generations became the last era businessman in Luoyang City in the new era. They lived hard for ten years under the eyes of others and the exclusion of their peers. They lived lucky for ten years with cautious thoughts and huge contacts.

However, those supreme leaders who are countless times stronger than him are just like an ant facing the storm at the moment of the era clearing.

Is it really at their mercy?

That thing, although it's not what you can dream of now, must be a bug in this rule.

In this life, I want to see if you are qualified to let me Zhang Mu be a test object.

The reason precipitated over the years still defeated the nameless anger suddenly rising in Zhang Mu's heart, and he gradually calmed down.

At this time, a woman's sharp scream suddenly sounded in the noisy crowd, as if she had met the most terrible thing in the world.

People looked back and found that it was a girl in green who was shouting. She was covering her mouth and looking at the scene in front of her. Her legs trembled. The bags in her hands fell off and the vegetables she had just bought were scattered on the ground.

A middle-aged man who was just cursing was throwing himself on a thin young man next to him, with blue veins on his face and blood red lines on his skin exposed outside his clothes.

The middle-aged man directly held the young man down so that he couldn't move. He tore off the meat on his neck one by one with his teeth.

The young man's main artery was damaged. He saw his pupils dilated and lost his vitality. His blood splashed all over the middle-aged man's white shirt. He didn't feel it and continued to bite.

No, eating.

The middle-aged man bit half, suddenly heard the scream of the girl in green, turned his head and stared at her ferociously. The girl was so frightened that she sat down on the ground. But he seemed reluctant to give up the tender meat in his mouth, and then buried his head and began to eat.

However, at this time, people had no time to worry about the girl, because the same scene took place in every place nearby. In the huge people's Square, 30% of the people turned into this kind of monster and attacked the people around them.

"Run!"

I don't know who shouted. The numb crowd suddenly woke up. Regardless of how many people were blocking in front of us, and no matter who stepped on the unlucky ghost who was squeezed to the ground, they ran away with their heads.

At this moment, a new era came with bloody washing.
