288, Endless Severance 21

Everyone in the building was in a panic. This is what it means to be in trouble. No one could have imagined that a stable life would be broken in an instant. The whole city was in turmoil at the same time. The authorities had no time to react. The cracks everywhere had already become a disaster. Countless crack detectors in Lucheng sounded whistles at the same time, warning nearby residents to retreat.

But they were ringing in every direction. Where could they retreat to?

Jin's father and his brother-in-law Zhen Zhenguo struggled to walk through the crowd. He stuffed the lunch box with food into his clothes and zipped it up. He held his brother-in-law with his other hand. There were too many people. The people who were getting food in the cafeteria were in a complete mess after hearing the whistle. In order not to be squeezed out by the crowd, they had to pull each other out.

"What happened!"

"This sound is a warning of the appearance of cracks. Something happened in Lucheng!" The whistles were so dense and noisy at the same time. Jin's father's heart was pounding, and a sense of uneasiness and fear gripped his heart. He ran and said to Zhen Zhenguo: "Let's go home quickly!"

When he got to the street, the sense of terror was infinitely magnified. The sound of the lighthouse was almost everywhere. He gritted his teeth and rushed towards home. The running crowd, the broken screams...all of a sudden, everything was in chaos!

A new crack suddenly appeared in front of him. Father Jin couldn't brake in time and crashed into it! At that moment, his mind was blank. The sharp energy cut his face and stung his eyes. Then he felt that he fell down. It should be his eldest brother who pulled him.

"Are you okay?" The eldest brother-in-law shouted anxiously in his ears. Father Jin wiped his eyes and his hands were full of blood.

"Don't touch it. If you cut your eyelids, can you still see things?" Uncle Zhen waved his hand in front of him.

"I can see it."

"That's good. Let's go quickly." Uncle Zhen dragged Father Jin away from the crack. The screams around him rose to a higher level. The crack that suddenly appeared harvested the lives of several people in a few seconds. The smell of blood spread all of a sudden, and along with it came the giant hand that wanted to catch prey in the crack.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!!!"

"Brother!" Father Jin felt that he was pushed out, and the hand holding him loosened. He blinked hard, and the blood from his injured eyelid made his vision blurry. He could only see a giant hand shrinking back into the crack. The same color as the blue clothes worn by his brother-in-law was sandwiched between the giant hand's hands, and soon disappeared completely.

His tears fell all of a sudden. Emotions and reason kept pulling each other. He cried and crawled outside. He didn't know how long he ran or how far he ran. He collapsed on the ground and cried against the wall.

Finally, he wiped his tears. His eyes were red and swollen, and he could hardly open them because of the pain. At this time, he noticed that the phone in his pocket was ringing. After answering, it was his daughter's voice: "Okay, I'll be back soon." He walked back to the community by touching the wall.

Yu Heng hung up the phone, me? Shouldn't it be ours? And Jin's father's tone was too strange, "How are they? Are they okay?"

Facing Jin's mother and others' questions, he had to nod vaguely. Everything would have to wait for Jin's father to come back to know. I hope both of them are safe.

He parked the car carefully on the street outside the community. It was safe here for the time being. After waiting for more than ten minutes, he saw Jin's father's figure with his sharp eyes. There was only one person. Seeing Jin's father staggering, he hurried out of the car to pick him up.

"Are your eyes injured?" He held Jin's father's hand and clearly felt that Jin's father's hand was shaking. Father Jin trembled and grabbed his hand, looking at him with red and swollen eyes: "Your uncle, your uncle is gone."

Yu Heng's heart sank, and he quickly helped Father Jin back to the car. Their car was parked in a corner and would not be affected by the chaotic traffic. Aunt Zhen looked eagerly, and when she couldn't see her husband, she asked: "Where is your eldest brother?"

Father Jin said sadly: "My eldest brother was swept away by a giant hand."

"What, what?"

Father Jin covered his face and stopped talking, but everyone could see his sadness. Aunt Zhen couldn't breathe, her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

"Sister-in-law!"

It was no use asking Father Jin for advice now, so Yu Heng simply made his own decision: "Mom, you look after your aunt, I'm going to drive."

"Hey, hey! You drive carefully."

"Grandma, there is a medicine box in the compartment under the seat, you take it out and clean up the wound on my dad's eye."

"Got it."

After making arrangements, he stepped on the accelerator and left here. The community behind him had long been empty. After evacuating, he saw from the rearview mirror that several giant hands were madly smashing between the buildings, as if there was some deep hatred.

Too fierce!

A shadow covered his heart. He had released the maximum of five high-level puppet substitutes, running in five directions to find out the route. At this time, he planned to go to one of the directions, which was relatively safe.

But halfway through the drive, a large shadow fell from the sky. He braked quickly and heard a series of continuous muffled sounds. A car next to them made an emergency turn and hit their car. Although they narrowly avoided it later, the rear compartment was still dented.

"What, what is that?"

Grandma Jin pointed at the pile of things on the road with a shaking hand. Yu Heng saw a pile of corpses on the road. Because they fell from a high altitude, you can imagine how scary the corpses looked. He took a look, and that look fell on a bloated corpse. A natural vomiting reaction came up, so he quickly turned his head to avoid it.

But I was thinking: Are these bodies also thrown out from the cracks? Are they dreamers or other innocent victims? !

"Too scary!" Jin's mother screamed after just one look, hugging Jin's father and not daring to look up.

"I'll change lanes, you guys sit carefully, I think things will definitely be uneasy next." Yu Heng said, and his subsequent experience also confirmed his premonition. Various things fell from the sky, including dilapidated vehicles, bricks and stones, refrigerators, televisions and other electrical appliances. These are not the most terrifying, the terrifying ones are the various bodies inside.

In fact, simple bodies are still within the acceptable range of people. After all, in recent years, cracks have grown everywhere, and human bodies have been cut silently. There are many people who have faced brutal and bloody scenes, so they are not scared by those bodies.

The terrifying thing is that those bodies have been treated by some evil, and most of them are swollen like balls that burst with a poke, with blurred facial features and a terrifying purple-black skin. What is even more unacceptable is that in the sun, those bodies are melting!

Then the corpses slowly collapsed and fell, melting into the soil and dissipating into the air, leaving only pools of black marks on the spot.

This was even more frightening than the scene in the real world when Yu Heng encountered the devil cultivators devouring humans! It also added several more nausea.

After seeing the corpses, Aunt Zhen cried and fainted again. Mother Jin's mental state was not good, and even Father Jin was in a trance at this time. But Grandma Jin showed a very tough side at this time, coaxing her grandson and carefully enlightening her son. She used to be a little carsick, but when Yu Heng used his racing skills to avoid cracks and falling objects, she was actually full of energy, which made him admire her.

All the cracks that were sealed in Lucheng before broke out, and the casualties were not large. After all, there were not many people living near the cracks, and there were fences around them, so many people escaped at the first time. After that, the cracks kept spitting out things that smashed the sky and the earth. As long as you hide well, you won’t be hurt.

Yu Heng drove the car to a certain street and took shelter under the eaves. He only heard the sound of something falling from an unknown direction.

"Let's wait here." This wait lasted for almost two days. Fortunately, Lucheng was not a place with dense and many cracks, otherwise it would not have been selected to build a safe city. After the early chaos, the crowd was quickly calmed down by the organization team.

However, there is no absolutely safe place for the time being. The Lucheng leadership spoke to the public and called on people to find safe places on their own, pay attention to high-altitude throwing and stay away from cracks. The distribution of supplies is normal. They all go to the canteens in various districts of Lucheng to collect them. At the same time, there will be supply airdrop troops, etc.

"Then let's go to the canteen." Yu Heng listened carefully twice and confirmed that the canteen in their district was still safe, so he asked for the opinion of Jin's father.

Father Jin thought hard and said, "The cafeteria seems to be fine. Let's go if we can."

"Okay."

Yu Heng drove carefully towards the cafeteria. Not to mention the chaos on the road, the traffic jam was quite serious. When he just turned into a street, his vision was a little darker.

In fact, the dark vision was probably because the sun disappeared into the clouds and the brightness decreased, but he didn't know why he was very uneasy and subconsciously pulled the car to the side.

"What's wrong with Hengmei?"

Mother Jin asked him, and he couldn't answer, just said, "I'll get off the car and take a look!"

He got off the car and carefully stretched his head out to look. There was indeed something moving in the sky, and the speed of movement was not slow. From a distance, it looked like a large group of crows, but he soon determined that it was not a moving flock of birds.

That was a crack, that was a moving crack! It was not expanding, but really moving as a whole!

Why did the crack suddenly move?

"What's wrong with Hengmei?"

Father Jin also recovered at this time and asked in a hoarse voice. He still had to admit that his eldest daughter was really capable. Now that she looked bad, something must have happened.

"Get out of the car and see what that thing in the sky is."

Father Jin couldn't see clearly, so he asked his wife to go and see. After a while, Mother Jin returned to the car with weak hands and feet, her face pale: "Okay, it looks like a crack, it's moving!"

That thing had moved from the sky to the nearby high-rise building, wantonly devouring what it liked. Mother Jin happened to see a bloody lower body falling down, hitting a large blood flower on the ground, and people were scared to faint!

Father Jin squinted his eyes and watched through the car window, his pupils contracted.

The moving cracks were fierce and easily cut off the top floor of a building. The long and numerous giant hands fanned the flames, stirring up panic. Yu Heng and the others saw it, and naturally others saw it too.

The road suddenly became more chaotic!

Yu Heng did not rush to squeeze into the traffic. Instead, he got back in the car and opened his laptop. As his fingers flew, the data images on the screen kept changing. He looked at the red dots of the cracks that were moving randomly, and felt at a loss as to "where to go".
