Chapter 6
Jiang Liushi neither knew the specific time the world was about to end, nor the consequences of the virus outbreak . What he knew was that the virus had been revived, since it was found in the frozen layer . The virus was more dangerous than all the viruses of the world added together; its extensive infectivity was already spreading to the world and after the incubation period it would outbreak like a series of bomb blasts .
A ringtone sound could be heard, which seemed to wake up the nervous Jiang Liushi . He quickly picked up his cell phone and looked the caller ID, it was Li Yuxin .
"Hey, I am coming . You must stay at home . Just wait!" He was worried that Li Yuxin would not follow his instructions; it would be extremely bad if any changes were to occur .
"Jiang Liushi, I am really sorry . I'll be leaving soon," Li Yuxin regretfully said .
Hearing that, Jiang Liushi's heart sank, "Leave? Where to? Li Yuxin, please believe me . You have to stay at home and lock the door . . . "Jiang Liushi said hurriedly .
"I'm sorry . Jiang Liushi, you should listen carefully to what I'm about to say," Li Yuxin didn't listen at all and interrupted him . It seemed that she had something serious to say .
"You may feel incredible, but the end of the world is coming . I just learnt about it today . The car is waiting outside, so I must leave . First, make sure of your own safety, and then go to the North high-speed entrance . The army is there, when you reach them, they should take you to the Shenhai Island!" Li Yuxin said hastily in a low voice .
"Remember . You must reach the high-speed entrance today . The troops there will protect the people evacuating . . . "
Suddenly, loud voices could be heard from the other end of the phone . Li Yuxin had no other choice and hurriedly said, "Jiang Liushi, believe me . I am not kidding!"
Li Yuxin had already hung up the phone . Jiang Liushi held the phone next to his ear till the dial tone stopped . Suddenly, the air around seemed to have been frozen . Obviously the evacuation had already begun, but no one knew about Shenhai Island . . .
Jiang Liushi really thankful to Li Yuxin because she told him the truth . She was a very kind and amiable girl . It wasn't just a family feeling or being nice to each other . But . . . Even if Li Yuxin was taken away, she was not really safe . Jiang Liushi knew that the virus had already spread and the scientists would suddenly find out about its existence after the outbreak .
The invasion period of this super virus was not long . In this very short period of time, scientists spent a lot of time from studying to deducing the result . As for the top of the human race, knowing that the end of the world was approaching, they had less time to deploy . In that case, they could not save all mankind, so the only thing that could be done was to save the elite . The establishment of "Safe Island" all over the world could ensure that humankind would continue to exist, but . . . before entering the "safe island", everyone had to go through severe tests and isolation .
Even the scientists did not dare to believe the results of their findings . As a result, the majority of the governments around the world did not dare taking extreme measures, it was the least bit of humanity they could show . But once the cruelty of the end combined with the terrible super virus, then they would turn to bloody tactics . During the call between Jiang Liushi and Li Yuxin, the two porters were smoking squatting not too far away . They glanced up in time to see Jiang Liushi and talked about something .
"This car and its interior! It's fantastic!"
"The world of the rich is utterly different . I would be extremely happy to drive the minibus around the world with several beautiful girls . "
The two porters were talking happily . It was like their dreams had come true . They were daydreaming about the scenery during the day and having fun with beautiful girls at night . There's food in the kitchen and they could even bathe with a partner . There were a lot of things to see in the world !But suddenly, one porter seemed like he was about to have a syncope, on his face emerged a burst of abnormal flushing, and he almost fell .
"Oh, buddy, are you ok?" The other porter caught him and helped regain his balance .
"It's all right," the man said pushing the hands of the other, quickly recovering, "I'm okay . I have a strong physique, you know," The porter said, clapping his strong chest .
"Ha ha ha! You must have masturb*ted last night and had a maggot in your head . It must have been a kidney-deficiency expression!" They entertained each other by making spicy jokes .
Not far away, Jiang Liushi was silently watching them . He couldn't laugh at all, instead he felt a chill running through his spine . He knew that this syncope was just a prelude of the outbreak of the virus . He was afraid it had only been less than an hour! The porter was still chatting with the other . Jiang Liushi sitting in the minibus looked at them with a cold gaze; he could not do anything . He couldn't kill the porter, even if he did, it would cause problems and put himself in great danger . Even the government could not do anything, let alone Jiang Liushi . One or two hours later, the world was bound to face a catastrophe .
The two porters didn't notice anything and kept smoking under the shade . Jiang Liushi looked at the time, it was 12:20 p . m . , and kept waiting in silence . Before the virus outbreak, everyone would have a strong immune response, including Jiang, because they were all infected with the virus . After that response some people would be able to resist the virus, but the others would turn into a monster .
Time passed . Jiang Liushi clenched the steering wheel, while his palm was slowly sweating . He frequently looked at the time; 14:00 p . m . ... 14:30 p . m . . . . 14:40 p . m . . . .
Slowly, perhaps because he was too focused, Jiang thought the pointer on the clock had started disappearing . However, the disappearing became more and more serious, even the clock became several clocks .
This was... Jiang Liushi suffered a burst of serious syncope .
Bang!
He felt a strong pain on his forehead, he had hit his head on the steering wheel heavily, simultaneously, he could feel a splitting headache .
[It's about to begin!]
It finally happened; the super virus broke out . Jiang Liushi knew that he would eventually overcome it, but even so, just the pain almost made him faint .
Meanwhile, the same thing happened around the world .
Headaches! Illusions! Twitching! Nosebleeds! Syncope!
There were slight differences in how everyone was affected . But without exception, everyone had a very painful experience, especially to those who could not overcome the virus infection; they felt an excruciating pain! A lot of people screamed, the sound seemed to come directly from their lungs . It wasn't a sound humans could make, but it sounded like roar of a beast!
"Pang!Pang!Pang!"
On the highway, vehicles crushed on after the other . Hundreds of thousands of vehicles were involved in a pileup on the highway . Many drivers instantly died and some instinctively stepped on the brakes, while they were in the pain .
Cars were exploding here and there, and dense black smoke started covering the sky . In the city, in all kinds of factories, frequent accidents happened because people had instantly convulsions and loss of consciousness . Fires spread on after the other . . .
Automatic fire alarm could be heard everywhere . Accidents happened everywhere, and countless people died . Jiang Liushi was also in a state of confusion . He could faintly hear noisy voices, but was unable to comprehend what was happening . Illusions constantly flashed; it felt like he had returned in his childhood years, his parents were alive, with his sister living happily . He also saw the birthday cake his mother had made with extra care . After that, he even saw his future career and enjoyable scenes with his wife and children; his wife seemed to be Li Yuxin . . .
He was immersed in this illusion for some time, but in the end he regained his consciousness . As he suddenly opened his eyes, he noticed that his hair and clothes had been soaked in sweat, and was still holding tightly the steering wheel . His fingers felt like he had grabbed pins and needles, due to excessive force . He felt very tired and that his body was about to collapse . He was breathing heavily and his heart sank as he looked out of the window; the weather had changed . . .
Looking around, a thick layer of mist could be seen, covering everything . The sky was dark, while fog seeped through the world making everything look gray . The atmosphere was really depressing . The noisy alarms coming from afar made Jiang Liushi to feel really nervous . He glanced at his watch, it was 15:50 p . m . . . He was unconscious for about an hour, but it felt like an eternity .
Jiang Liushi knew with certainty... The f*cking end of the world had finally come . From that day on, he would be driving the minibus in order to survive . . .
Taking a deep breath, Jiang Liushi ignited the engine of the minibus and departed!
