Chapter 1152: Heavy Fog Disaster, the Invisible World
In the Pacific Ocean.
Thick clouds and water vapor.
The heavy fog moves with the ocean currents.
The thick fog has spread over the past few days and has slowly reached Fujian Province.
A mountaintop in the middle of Wuyi Mountain.
This mountain is the highest around and sparsely populated.
There is a circle surrounded by wooden fences, and there is a house in the center of the circle.
The foundation of the house is made of stone, and the top is made of wood.
But it looks solid.
A man with long hair is carrying a hoe to cultivate the land, digging a hole, and then putting a seed in the soil.
Behind him, there are about three-tenths of land, with some small earth slopes scattered here and there, these are all corn he has planted.
The temperature has risen recently, and he planted the corn seeds he had treasured for a long time.
The continuous natural disasters made him miserable.
But it is becoming more and more difficult to collect supplies. If you don’t grow and produce food yourself, then there is only one result: starvation.
Several natural disasters have taught him a lesson.
That is, don't sow too much at one time, so as not to destroy all the crops after the natural disaster.
The circle surrounded by wooden fences on the top of the mountain is less than one acre. It is only more than 400 square meters.
And around the wooden fence, a cordon was pulled up with ropes or wires.
There are some wooden sticks, wine bottles, and stones hanging on it.
Once a zombie approaches, it will make some sounds to remind the people inside.
But because the poster of this mountain is relatively high and the terrain is not too rugged.
It is not easy for people to climb up, let alone zombies.
Transportation is extremely inconvenient.
Wuyi Mountain covers an area of nearly 1,000 square kilometers, with many mountains and rivers.
The man has lived in seclusion in this place for many years.
He even lived in seclusion here before the end of the world.
"Ahem." He stood up and hammered his lower back with the hoe.
His hair was waist-length, but he simply tied it with a rope to prevent his hair from being scattered.
"His father, come back for dinner." A woman wearing an apron and with a sallow face stood at the door and said to the man outside.
The woman was about 40 years old and didn't look very energetic.
"Wait a minute, I'll come in after I finish planting this field." The man said to the woman standing at the door.
Turning his head, he looked at the sunset, with a trace of reminiscence in his eyes.
Ten years ago, he worked in M City, working in a well-known financial brokerage, and earned a lot of money.
But the pressure was huge and the fast pace of life made him lose himself. Later, he fainted on the ground because of staying up late.
When he woke up, he was already in the hospital and was diagnosed with vertigo.
He realized the preciousness of life.
From then on, he began to be obsessed with those pastoral lives, and every time he saw those videos of survival in the wilderness on the Internet, he couldn't stop.
He had a dream of retiring to the countryside in his heart. Later, when he met a graphic designer while traveling, he found that he had too many things in common with her.
Slowly fell in love.
Later, due to a criticism from a leader, he made up his mind to retire to the mountains and forests.
He didn't want to deal with people anymore, so he came to Wuyi Mountain and contracted the mountain for 30 years.
He used his previous savings to buy solar panels and various daily necessities.
He liked the primitive life, so he built a house with a stone foundation and a wooden frame.
The house was not big, only 100 square meters, but he was very satisfied.
Because this place was too remote, the purchased materials were delivered to here by workers after walking a long mountain road, and the freight was several times more expensive than the materials.
He made up his mind to live in seclusion here and never go down the mountain.
So he bought seeds and tools.
He stayed there for several years, and during these years, he also encountered some problems that forced him to go down the mountain when he was in seclusion.
But after those years of experience, he used the remaining money to stockpile enough materials for him to use for 20 years at one time.
For example, he stockpiled more than two tons of salt and sugar.
With these things, he rarely went down the mountain.
Until the sixth month after the outbreak of the apocalypse, he wanted to go down the mountain to see his parents.
As a result, he found that the world outside had changed.
He hurried back to the top of the mountain, and he never went down the mountain again.
Seeing the outside world, like a tragedy on earth, he was more grateful.
Fortunately, he retired here early.
"Huhu--"
With a smile on his lips, he continued to cultivate with a hoe.
A few minutes later.
He planted corn seeds on the remaining little land.
He used a spoon to pour water into the soil little by little from the urine bucket next to him.
"Dad, come in and eat quickly, the food is almost cold." The woman came out again.
As she said that, the woman seemed to see some incredible scene.
She held her breath and walked towards the man.
"Old Yin, look, what is that?" The woman's voice was a little trembling, pointing to the distance.
"What?" The man bent over and poured the last spoonful of water.
He looked up at the woman in confusion, and when he saw the horrified expression on the woman's face, he quickly picked up the hoe on the ground.
Over the years, although there were few zombies in this mountain, there were always a few zombies that would come up, and he had dealt with many of them.
Seeing the woman's expression, he subconsciously thought that she must have seen zombies again.
Holding the hoe, he stood in front of the woman, protecting her behind him.
But the next second.
After seeing the scene in front of him, he immediately opened his mouth.
"This, this, this."
They were on the top of the mountain and had an extremely broad view.
Under the sunset.
I saw thick fog in the distance, blowing overwhelmingly.
Endless.
In the setting sun, these white thick fogs are rising one after another.
Devouring sunlight at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The mountains and forests in the distance seemed to be swallowed up by a huge mouth.
Wherever it is shrouded in thick fog, nothing can be seen at all.
This extremely strong sense of oppression gave them both a suffocating feeling.
"This shouldn't be evaporative fog, uphill fog, or frontal fog. It's most likely advection fog." The man observed the endless thick fog with thoughts flashing in his eyes.
"Then, what should we do now?" The woman's voice was trembling.
The man quickly took the woman's hand and led her back to the house.
In the house, there was a little boy and a little girl. There was a pot of potatoes in front of the two children.
When the two saw the man coming in, they quickly said, "Dad."
The man ignored the child and quickly ran to the storage room to grab a sharp knife, a flashlight, and a coil of wire, hanging on his shoulder.
He hurried to the door.
pause.
He turned around and said to the woman: "You stay at home and close the doors and windows. I will check the protection of the outer circle. I will return before the fog."
The woman said with some worry in her eyes: "You will come back soon."
"Um."
The man nodded and ran out without hesitation.
He had to complete the protection of the outer circle before the heavy fog arrived.
Looking at the heavy fog now, he had never encountered it before.
It's hundreds of kilometers from the ocean.
There is actually advection fog, and there is only one reason why this happens.
That is, something happened in the ocean to cause such large-scale advection fog.
He didn't know how long the fog would last, but he knew that the most important thing now was to strengthen the outer layer of protection, so that he would feel more secure.
The fog dissipates very quickly.
The water vapor carried by the ocean continues to flow towards Wuyi Mountain.
Scattered.
The heavy fog was affected by the wind, churning and moving, but it was still coming towards them.
The man held the wire and quickly checked the outer layer of protection.
The scenery in the distance is stunning.
But at this moment, he was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful scenery at all.
"No, why did it fall down again?"
The man frowned slightly and put down the wire without hesitation, then quickly cut a section of wire with pliers and closed the gap again.
continue.
He took the trot and checked quickly.
But the fog blew in much faster than he expected.
In a blink of an eye, we arrived at the foot of the mountain.
Climb.
The fog accumulated at the bottom of the mountain and became thicker and thicker.
The water vapor is even so rich that when you take a breath, it feels like you have taken a sip of water.
call--
From behind, thicker water vapor blew in, and the fog rolled up the mountains.
Wow——
Extremely fast.
In an instant, I climbed to the top of the mountain.
The whole mountain was covered.
The heavy fog that climbed to the top of the mountain blew towards the other side like a goddess scattering flowers.
The heavy fog blowing down was like a white waterfall coming down from the top of the mountain.
Rolling in.
On top of the mountain.
As soon as the man finished setting up, he found himself in a thick fog.
Take a breath of fog.
The water vapor was too thick, which made him feel uncomfortable and choked twice.
"not good."
He quickly took out the flashlight from his body and shone it around.
The thick fog is almost material.
He couldn't see his surroundings at all.
This fog is very finely grained and continuous.
The sunset was gone, and the surroundings were white.
He couldn't even see his hands while standing.
This means that the visibility is less than fifty centimeters.
The man gasped.
Shining the flashlight on the ground, I vaguely saw the circle of iron wire, but I still couldn't see it clearly.
Without hesitation, he immediately picked up the iron wire and hung it on his shoulder. Then he fumbled around with the knife inserted next to him, felt the handle of the knife, and pulled it out.
Like a blind person, I use the tip of the knife as a crutch to test whether there are any obstacles ahead.
I carefully recalled where I was standing just now, and I had a map in my mind.
Then he walked north.
He remembered that he was in the south.
Not walking fast.
It is nearly twenty meters from the outer protective net to the wooden fence.
There are trees between these twenty meters.
Bang!
The tip of the knife struck a tree, so he groped for it and kept walking.
Be careful.
It took him nearly five minutes to cover the distance of twenty meters.
Click!
The tip of the knife hit an obstacle.
He swiped left and right.
Kakaka——
It was the layer of wooden piles he had buried before, that is, the circle of wooden fence.
He hurried over and shined a light on the wooden fence. When he confirmed that it was a wooden fence, he almost cried.
He was worried that he had run out just now, but there was nothing he could do, he had been gone for too long.
Fortunately, it was repaired inside the outer protective net. If he was outside and got lost, he would probably never come back.
Feeling excited.
At the wooden fence, that means he can find the entrance along the wooden fence and go home!
go home!
He had never felt such a strong desire to return to the house.
People have five senses.
But vision is most important.
Being unable to see is an extremely terrifying feeling.
In foggy weather of this intensity, people are actually not much different from blindness.
Not knowing what is going on around you, this feeling of fear is like the darkness swallowing you up.
But at least there is a light in the dark, so you can see your surroundings.
But in this heavy fog, there are too many water molecules in the air, which diffuse the light, just like a drop of water dripping into the lake, unable to make waves at all.
The man groped and walked cautiously.
He put his head only thirty centimeters away from the wooden fence.
It took about four minutes.
He finally found the entrance gate to the wooden fence.
With excitement, he shouted towards the cabin inside:
"An'an, don't come out, I'm coming in."
In the invisible fog, a woman's voice came. The woman seemed to be relieved:
"His dad, you are finally back. We can't see anything now."
"The kids are okay. Just stay in the house and don't move. I'll come over."
"It's okay, I'm holding them all."
call--
After the man heard his wife's voice, he immediately felt relieved.
Enter the wooden fence, and then pull up the wooden crossbar on the fence.
After thinking about it, he tied the small door with wire.
Then relying on memory, he held up the flashlight with his right hand and touched forward with his left hand.
Go.
He didn't dare to test it with a knife because he was afraid that he would encounter his children and wife later.
Once he entered the courtyard, he felt much more familiar.
I can walk to the door with my eyes closed.
When he reached the door, he saw the closed door and was very excited.
He finally arrived home.
Squeak——
The door opened.
"His dad, is that you?" The woman's voice was trembling.
The man quickly said: "An'an, it's me, don't be afraid. I've locked everything outside."
Afterwards, the man and the woman kept making sounds, testing each other's position.
Finally, the man's hand touches the woman.
Bang!
The man dropped his knife to the ground and hugged his wife and two children tightly.
The two children are also very sensible and never make a fuss.
His body was just shaking a little.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm here, I'm here."
The man couldn't see the woman's face clearly, and he could only see it vaguely after he leaned closer.
Two adults and two children hugging each other.
In this invisible world, keep each other warm.
"His dad, what should we do now? We can't see anything, and we don't know how long it will last."
The woman said worriedly.
The man thought for a while and said: "The heavy fog can be removed with liquid nitrogen or dry ice. I can try dry ice. I will turn on a fan later to blow out the fog in the room."
"Okay." The woman said.
The man immediately said: "Don't move, I will do it."
The man asked his wife and two children not to move, then picked up the knife that fell on the ground, and then groped towards the storage room.
Endless fog.
Coming from the Pacific Ocean, from east to west.
Rolling in.
Any place shrouded in heavy fog is like being swallowed up by endless darkness, and humans cannot see the things around them.
(Please give me a monthly ticket, something exciting is coming!! Mmmmm!)
