Just like in my dream, people were very interested in this meteor shower. There was a lot of talk on the Internet about the best places to observe the meteor shower. Unfortunately, what unfolded was not a meteor shower but a meteorite attack, a precursor to the end of the insect plague. Although I dreamt that our home was in a safe location, I still got scared when a meteorite fell and burst into flames. This was the prelude to the end of the world.
The meteorite attack did not last long, but the disaster it caused was huge. The reporter on the TV spoke rapidly, announcing this as a global disaster. After the meteorite event, I felt more at peace and started cooking with my mother. It was late autumn and early winter now, and I didn't know if I was frightened by the meteorites just now, but I actually felt a little cold.
On the third day after the meteorite struck, experts began asking residents not to touch the meteorite. If meteorite chunks were found, they should be reported immediately, and a dedicated person would handle it. When I saw this news, I guessed that those experts must have discovered that these meteorites carried a large number of insect eggs. As for not stating it, maybe they were afraid of causing panic?
I don't understand these policies. I only know that on the fifth day after the meteorite attack, the property manager of the community wore protective clothing and went door to door asking if anyone had been injured in the past few days. He said it was in the spirit of humanitarianism. If injured, the state government would provide free treatment. Those people also specifically emphasized that there was no need to open the door, just answer directly. Our family of three had not been out since the day before the meteorite struck, so naturally, there were no wounds on our bodies.
After my dad answered, the group of people left quickly. I made a hypothesis for my parents: "That is to say, is there a possibility that bugs can crawl in and reproduce through wounds on the surface of the human body? Turn the human body into a mother body." This hypothesis was so disgusting that our family couldn't even eat.
Seven days after the meteorite struck. When I was looking through the telescope today, I spotted a strange person. The "man" was swaying as he walked, as if he had drunk too much. Soon, a security guard in protective clothing came forward and pulled the "person" as if to say something. Suddenly, the person seemed very angry, shook off the security guard's hand, and then backed away, possibly due to inertia, taking a few steps. Then he fell to the ground, his whole body shaking abnormally.
The horror came. With a "boom," the man exploded into countless insects. Insects? ! ? I quickly called my parents to come over and take a look. I saw the bugs quickly gathering on the security guard wearing protective clothing. These bugs were all black. The security guard seemed to be in pain, and his body was twisting continuously. After a while, the insects dispersed, leaving only the security guard bitten with blood and not much flesh left. "Those bugs that have bitten people seem to be getting bigger." After my dad reminded me, I looked again, and it seemed to be true.
Today we were supposed to discuss what to do with the garbage. I was so shocked by the scene in front of me that I almost spat out my breakfast. It is also the end of the world, and I would rather be a zombie than face these disgusting things! The "experts" on TV these days are also silent on these matters, and they keep saying that this is a catastrophe for all mankind. Forgot to mention, starting from the fifth night after the meteorite attack, there was nothing new in what those "experts" said...
Cold, really too cold. After suddenly waking up from the cold, I took out my phone and saw that it was already freezing! But today is the tenth day of the insect plague! It's still late autumn. I quickly turned on the air conditioner and immediately knocked on my parents' door: "Mom and Dad! Get up quickly! It's cooling down!" After waking up my parents, I found a warm baby and put a few pieces on each. There was still hot water in the thermos bottle, and I drank some. I also took out the thick quilt I bought.
Before I went back to sleep, my dad said: "I always feel that the weather will continue to get colder." I think my dad is talking nonsense. When I woke up the next morning, I found that the ground was still densely covered with insects. These bugs are really pervasive. The outside of the lower floors is covered with bugs, and the bugs have the tendency to climb up again, but they fall down again while climbing. Seeing this, I quickly asked my mother to spray more insecticide on the sewer pipes at home. It smelled a little bit, but it was better than bugs crawling up.
An uncle who lives on the fifth floor of this building suddenly sent a message to my dad. The uncle said that the floor of his house was too low and he didn't feel safe looking at the bugs outside. He wanted to come and live with our family. They also said they would pay 100 yuan for a day's stay. "There are so many things in the house, how can we explain it if someone comes up? And do you dare to let people in under the current situation? And dad, who is this humiliating? Even if you stay in a hotel, you can't make a hundred a day, right?" My dad's face turned dark. "Don't worry, even if it's ten thousand a day, I still won't agree!" My dad replied to the uncle: "I'm sorry, we are in the capital." Seeing that I looked bad, my dad said: "Don't worry, your mother and I are not kind-hearted people. If we were just kind-hearted, we wouldn't be able to open a company!"
The eleventh day of the meteorite attack. Looking at the garbage at home, we really need to find a way to clean it up. When the three of them were discussing on the balcony, the building opposite suddenly started throwing garbage away. At first, there was only one household who was throwing away garbage. They opened the window and threw it out. Then almost all the high-rise buildings were throwing garbage out like this. My mother and I looked at each other. "Mary, can these bugs fly?" "They can fly, but they can't fly high. They're too heavy." Got it! Before my dad could react, my mom and I quickly took the garbage and walked to the other side of the balcony. The other side faces the artificial lake, and there is a building far away. In the last days, it is inevitable to avoid some people. After throwing out the garbage, my dad told us that the Internet was disconnected. I asked my dad how he found out, and my dad told me that it was because the game could no longer be played. I:... In the afternoon, a fireball was suddenly thrown down from an unknown floor of our building, and the bugs on the ground seemed to disperse a little. Then I heard an exclamation. Ten minutes later, a woman walked out of the building. She seemed to be older and staggered a bit. She was covered with a thick quilt. The most important thing was that there was still fire on the thick quilt! The woman seemed to be desperate for her life and headed towards the place where there were many bugs. The bugs retreated for a moment and then rushed forward. Then three more people walked out of the building, looking like a couple with a child. I heard the child shout "grandma" to the woman, and then the woman who came out quickly took the child and ran away. When the swarm of bugs was going to chase the couple and the child, the grandma glanced in the direction they were running away, then lay down on the ground desperately, and spread the ignited quilt. I saw it through the telescope. That grandma has a head full of silver hair. In just a moment, the grandmother was covered in insects. After so many days, according to the habits of contemporary young people, it is not hoarding food. When the family runs out of food, they have to rush out. Because there are man-eating bugs outside, why should the elderly at home be used as human shields? After reading it, my parents and I didn't speak for a long time. After a while, my mother finally spoke: "Maybe I have read too many novels and thought that the state government had established a safe zone and that there were no bugs in the safe zone. I didn't know how to use my brain to think about it. If a safe zone was established, the public would definitely be informed through drones or radio. If you rush out like this, you are simply seeking death! You even drag the old man at home with you!" This incident makes all three of us feel very uncomfortable, but there is nothing we can do, nothing can be done, nothing can be done to save it. The bugs that eat human flesh seem to be darker this time? So dark that it reflects light. There were still a few people going out in the afternoon, but they were not as frantic as the one in the morning.
