Chapter 74 Investigation
Obviously, experts were still discussing the topic of global climate warming before, but in the blink of an eye, an area in District 11 has entered an ice age.
It's really shocking.
Most of the shops on the street were closed, and it was impossible to continue to operate in such a cold condition. As soon as the door was opened, the ice shards on it fell down.
The green leaves and branches of the big trees were wrapped in ice crystals, and the cars parked on the roadside were frozen together with the ground. Every step on the cement floor seemed like a skating rink.
The sky was gray and oppressive, and the street lights had been turned on, but they were wrapped in ice, and only a faint light came out, illuminating a little around the light poles, while the distance was completely white, and it was impossible to see what was there.
Yuya felt that he might have entered some strange dungeon.
If a goblin suddenly jumped out from the corner, he probably wouldn't be too surprised.
At this time, he, who was well-dressed, made some mental decisions in the car for a while, and then suddenly opened the car door.
Then the cold wind blew mercilessly on my face.
Yuya quickly pushed up his scarf and covered his face, feeling a little better now. Fortunately, he checked the weather forecast before coming and wrapped himself into a rice dumpling.
"Now look..."
After adjusting the detector on his hand, Yuya raised it high and faced the light white mist that filled the air - this was not the electromagnetic fog like Sadra, but more like the one formed due to low temperatures in winter.
meteorological.
So there is no change in the data on the detector.
It was expected, because Shirley also tested it in hospital, and there was no energy abnormality.
Maybe this fog is really just fog, but this air-conditioning is definitely not ordinary air-conditioning.
Something must have brought about this change.
There are still some convenience stores or supermarkets open 24 hours a day in the city.
After pushing open the glass door, the warmth that hit his face made Yuya, who was still shivering from the cold even though he was wrapped in a rice dumpling, breathed a sigh of relief, and then began to ask the clerk for information.
For example, did you hear any strange sounds or see strange sights before cooling down?
The clerk shook his head aggrievedly, "No, I just played a game, and when I came to my senses, I found it was freezing outside."
Yuya showed a look of sympathy - but no, I only played a game, and when I came back to my senses, I found that your city was frozen, so I was canceled my vacation and sent out to investigate.
This answer was quite expected. He had asked several stores before, but no one knew what happened. As a result, they were instantly pressed to the ground and rubbed against the cold.
Yuya was sitting helplessly at the table by the wall, drinking hot coffee, when the door of the convenience store was pushed open after someone said "Welcome".
A young man carrying a bag came in and took a shopping basket and went straight to the snack area. He waited in the back for a while before coming out with a basket of instant noodles, bread and other food to pay.
I'm afraid I don't really have to stay at home for the winter.
The clerk was scanning the codes for the goods. The young man had nothing to do and turned his head to look around. Then he saw Yuya who was sitting by the wall and looking at him curiously.
After a pause, the young man turned his head as if nothing had happened.
"Wait! You recognize me!"
Yuya was stunned for a while when he saw the young man's face, and then suddenly realized that this person looked too familiar!
He was the guy who gloated over someone else's breakup, went to area C to work as a waiter for the summer, and deceived him by saying there were clues in the old town (although in fact, he did find clues)!
After hearing Yuya's voice, the young man slowly turned his head and glanced at him, "Oh, it's you, a reporter from a supernatural magazine."
Although this person looked very unreliable, he could indeed provide different information sometimes. Yuya walked over excitedly and asked, "Have you ever seen any strange sights when the city is cooling down?"
"
The young man looked at him and then said, "Are you here to collect information again? But this kind of thing doesn't seem to have anything to do with supernatural beings."
Yu, who is a reporter for a supernatural magazine, choked for a moment, and then said confidently: "Although it doesn't matter, it is still a very valuable reporting event. Can't we make a profit at the end of the year?"
The young man looked at him speechlessly, and then said "Oh"; by then the clerk had finished counting the goods, and he turned back and started to pay.
"So, did you see anything strange before the temperature dropped? Or maybe it wasn't today, but there were strange sights before!" Seeing that he seemed ready to leave, Yuya asked quickly.
The young man was putting food into his backpack. Hearing this, he turned his head and looked at him with a confused look, and said, "That...is that another strange sound?"
Yuya: "..."
Brother, are you listening?
"Uh... It's like a scream in a horror movie?" Yuya asked tentatively.
"No." The young man shook his head, and then said: "At that time, I was playing games in a nearby Internet cafe, and then I suddenly heard something more like the sound of a large animal, very clear, such as... a lion, a cow
? Or elephants? The reason why I find it strange is because we don’t have a zoo here."
"Maybe the netizen next to you is watching Animal World..." Yuya couldn't help but complain.
"Maybe." The young man said nonchalantly. After collecting the things he bought, he opened the door and left.
The cold wind blew in, making Yuya shiver. He thought about it, returned to his seat, picked up his bag, and quickly followed.
The young man noticed the person behind him and turned around in confusion, "What are you doing?"
"Can you take me there to see it?"
"You are really persistent." The young man glanced at him, then smiled and said, "Okay, it's not far anyway."
A layer of ice had long since condensed on the ground, making it impossible to walk normally, so the two of them used hoverboards to move around, and soon arrived at the place the young man had mentioned.
There are no street lights here at all.
Because the ice cubes crowded the street lamps and exploded, and the condensed ice layer was even thicker, at a glance it seemed as if we were at the North Pole and the South Pole, with a vast expanse of white cold fog filling the air.
"Well, that's it." After the young man stopped and saw Yuya touching the ice on the wall, he pointed to the community not far away and said, "The ice here is thick, so some doors and windows cannot be opened at all. There were a group of people there before.
Everyone was trapped, and water and electricity were also severely damaged."
"I was swiping the BOSS and saw that it only had a trace of blood, and the wires were really frozen."
Yuya twitched his lips, opened the laptop-style detector and took a look, and found that the data lines on it were fluctuating up and down regularly.
"This is..."
"Ah, speaking of..." At this time, the young man said again: "There is another thing I forgot to tell you just now. There is a cold fog emerging from the ground."
"What did you say?!" Yuya was startled. He looked away from the detector and asked quickly: "Is this fog really coming out of the ground?"
Chapter completed!
