Trying to pretend to be human today

Chapter 362 News Report
It’s six o’clock in the morning, not long after the winter sky has just dawned.

Ordinary people at home are eating breakfast and turning on the TV to watch the morning news. The female anchor of the TV station changed into a different outfit from yesterday and read the news of the day.

As the morning news was coming to an end, the female anchor paused for a moment. She seemed to have received instructions from the director and temporarily inserted a message.

"Detailed explanations about...area white fog will be given next by..."

The hostess mentioned a name, which the family in front of the TV had never heard before. She was introduced as an expert in a certain field.

The man of the house took the time to search for a person's name on his mobile phone during breakfast. A lot of search results came up at once, most of which were talking about what achievements this expert had made in what fields.

It looks like it's very powerful.

The male host also glanced at it a few times before putting down his cell phone. While continuing to eat breakfast, he watched the news channel on the TV change to the press conference.

It is said to be a press conference, but the so-called expert is more talking about it, introducing new proper nouns, trying his best to explain the causes of the white fog area from a "scientific" perspective, and let people People don't need to worry.

"The white fog area will not spread, and it will not affect other people's lives at present. The authorities have already taken..." Some clichés were said, and the male host listened for a few times before concentrating on the last remaining breakfast in front of him. struggle.

On the contrary, the hostess of this family looked at the TV worriedly and said, "Well, Xiao Zhao and his family are over there."

"what?"

"That's right, Xiao Zhao, my colleague." The hostess said, "She doesn't seem to live with her family. She just rented a house there. She went to team building with the company that day. When she came back, she found that there was no room there. Let it in."

"Then?"

"Where else is there? Then, you also know that there is some efficiency in work... Well, I heard that she came to work these two days and arranged a new temporary residence for her. The things in the house may not be available. Who knows? Is the fog really no problem? What the experts say...sigh."

After all that, the hostess still sighed.

When the fog first lifted, people were panicked.

No one knows what happened specifically. They can only see an area in the city shrouded in white mist, like a meteorological spectacle.

However, after a while, people who were not enveloped by the white mist realized that this was not just a meteorological spectacle. They called out the names of their relatives and friends who were separated by the mist. Some people turned back, and soon they coughed and retreated. come out.

If you want to ask how it feels, the people who rushed in said that they felt like they had inhaled the choking smoke in a fire scene, and their throats were burning.

Now no one dared to take any chances, and then the special services took over and dispersed the people.

A few days later, when the discussion about the fog zone on the Internet was almost unstoppable, the official finally came out with a report, attributing the white fog zone to a gas leak.

It was a rather pale explanation, but the person who reported it spoke in a very orderly manner and looked convinced.

Then there were some reports about the injured. According to the special department, all the injured were rescued by them. Although it took twice as long due to vision problems and getting lost, they were able to get everyone out.

The injured are still being treated in the hospital and are all OK.

This is all the public knows. The special department has concealed many details, such as various types of equipment, electronic and non-electronic, that cannot be used in the fog area. Now it is a no man's land.

The explanation on the TV continued, but the time for the family to go out was approaching. The TV was turned off, and the hostess took the schoolbags for her children and prepared to send them to school.

No matter what happens elsewhere, life has to go on.

The hostess only mentioned her colleagues casually. Her daily life was completely different from others.

She quickly sent her children to school. Originally, this step was not required, but there have been too many strange things recently, and many people chose to send their children there.

The girl carrying a schoolbag walked into the classroom. As soon as she put down her schoolbag, she said hello to her deskmate: "Good morning Gao Tianyi! You are here to go to school!"

The boy who was shouted sleepily put his forehead on the desk, and said as if he hadn't drank water for several days: "Yes... yes."

"But why do you make it sound like I never come to school?"

"But Gao Tianyi, you really don't come often. You've missed more classes this semester." The girl told the truth and took out a book from her schoolbag. "It's almost time to read early. Please sit up from the table."

"Yes -" Taoist priest Xiao Gao, who had not been to class for a long time, raised his head and stared at the blackboard in front of him in a daze.

Gao Tianyi's past two days have been eventful.

Originally, he was scolded for sneaking out to help exorcise evil spirits from people's homes. His grounding was doubled when he returned, and he had to make up for all the homework he missed.

After finally completing double the homework, the white mist exploded.

Although I don't know what the white mist is specifically, these foreign aid personnel were also asked to study it, and they were allowed to come back after no results could be obtained.

Gao Tianyi was in a slack period when he worked all night.

It's one thing to find work and do it yourself, but it's another thing to be forced to work.

The young man was sighing. Just before the morning bell rang, the classroom door was pushed open again, and a classmate he hadn't seen for a long time stood there.

The other students exclaimed in unison, and even Gao Tianyi woke up and sat up straight.

——It’s a boy with a round face.

A round-faced boy who was still a little depressed walked in with a schoolbag on his back. Some students were about to gather around and ask, but the head teacher followed closely behind the boy.

The teacher coughed twice, scaring the students back.

"Okay, if you have anything to do, we can wait until get out of class is over. Now go back and sit down."

The teacher's majesty was still there, and the students all sat back. The round-faced boy also returned to the seat he had not sat in for a long time, slowly taking out books and stationery.

The morning reading ended with a class, and the students gathered around.

Gao Tianyi's female deskmate also stood up and was about to lean over when she found Gao Tianyi sitting there motionless.

So the girl asked: "Don't you go and take a look? It seemed like you were very concerned about his illness before."

Gao Tianyi sat there with his chin in his hands, a little uninterested, but he said: "There are too many people. Let's go back later. We have one day."

In fact?He followed up almost the whole process of his round-faced classmate. Ever since he came back from Wenjiacun, he had been caring about his poor classmate from time to time.

Almost as soon as his front foot was released, his classmates on the back foot recovered enough to be discharged from the hospital.

In fact, he could have been discharged from the hospital a long time ago, but for the sake of safety, the hospital kept more round-faced boys for observation for a while.

After knowing everything, and letting him pretend to be interested... it's not impossible, but it's better to wait a while before going.

Just as I was thinking about it, halfway through the 10-minute class break, Gao Tianyi's deskmate came back.She took the initiative to tell Gao Tianyi about the situation of the round-faced boy, saying that he had been sick in the hospital for a long time and no one was allowed to visit him because of the nature of the infection. Even the school refused to send a representative.

"Anyway, he's doing well now. It's just painful to think of having to make up for so many missed courses. It would be great if everyone had a brain like you, Gao Tianyi."

"My brain?"

"Yeah, I don't usually attend classes very much. I can still keep up with the progress even if I don't come to school... Speaking of Gao Tianyi, you should skip a grade, right?"

The girl was chattering, and the topic began to change. Before the school bell was about to ring, she had already talked about the morning news they watched at home.

"Gao Tianyi." The girl suddenly called her deskmate's name, and then moved closer, "I remember that you have always been very well-informed. Do you know about that matter?"

"What's the matter?" Gao Tianyi was sleepy and didn't guess the riddle that his deskmate was playing.

"That's it -" the girl lowered her voice, "In Baiwu District, the teacher doesn't let us discuss this in school, do you know?"

Gao Tianyi knows, and he knows quite a lot.

The young man who was still troubled by the white mist area yesterday turned his head over with a headache and faced his deskmate with the back of his head.

"I know, what next?" Gao Tianyi asked dullly.

The girl quickly talked about the news their family had watched in the morning and what experts said, and finally mentioned a few things about her mother's colleagues.

After Gao Tianyi finished listening, he asked his deskmate what he wanted to know.

In the last few seconds before the teacher came in after the bell rang, the girl hurriedly asked: "Will everyone living there have to move out? Are there so many places?"

If you ask if there is a place, there is always a place that can be crowded, but the conditions may not be so good.

After all, it is a free place, and we may arrange for someone to pay some money later... Anyway, before the white fog dissipates, it will be impossible for these people to return to their original homes.

There are actually other things that need to be considered, such as the workplace in Baiwu District... Forget it, that's not what a kid like him should care about.

Gao Tianyi glanced at the teacher who was about to walk onto the podium and whispered: "It's almost the same as what was reported in the news."

"All in all, the impact of that white fog on those of us is still very small, so don't think too much about it."

……

On the other side, the noon news was also broadcasting the same things that the morning news had said. It was a rolling broadcast, but the expert changed to another one to explain the cause of the white fog from a new angle.

The person who caused the white fog to appear sat in front of the TV, watching the news with gusto. When he heard the reasons compiled by experts, he also grew his brain to think about the feasibility.

Of course, it is not feasible. It is just said to deceive ordinary people, but because there will be a lot of professional rhetoric to endorse it in the future, it will not be exposed for a long time.

Just find a solution before then.

Human beings think so.

When the news entered another round of replay, Bai Su picked up the remote control and turned off the TV.

Then he stood up and stretched in this familiar yet unfamiliar room.

Familiarity means that he has lived here before, and strangeness means that he has only stayed here for one night in total, and now he will come back to stay for two or three days.

Maybe not two or three days?For details, please refer to the arrangements made by the special department.

Anyway, after arranging him here, humans haven't looked for him yet.

They seemed to be very busy with matters in the Baiwu District. They only came to ask Baisu at the beginning why the fog was so light on the way they left.

As originally planned, Bai Su put all the blame on the middle-aged man who had not yet woken up.

"You should ask the middle-aged man. He is a member of the cult, maybe a member of the periphery?"

The black-haired young man tweeted, and he also gave the example of how he went to help lift vehicles and rescue people in the fog. He went there alone, and the fog did not lighten. Qi Zhuyue can prove this.

Qi Zhuyue on the other side confirmed this. Later, after they brought the middle-aged man with them, the fog along the way became lighter again.

But in this case, a new problem arises, that is, the middle-aged man is still lying in the hospital and has not woken up.

The damage caused by the fog to him was close to zero. What really kept him from waking up was the wound on his leg - the penetrating wound from the bullet.

Doctors could not understand how the bullet reacted in the human body. It was not until the modified weapon was brought back from the hotel scene that the special department personnel realized what might have happened.

But...how could this man shoot at himself?
When I asked Qi Zhuyue who was at the scene again, she said hesitantly: "It's just that...in order not to shoot one of his own people, Bai Su pointed his gun at the wall and fired, and then..." Everything that followed All without saying anything.

The listeners understood what he was saying and made clear gestures.

Could it be that a dangerous person with a reputation for marksmanship misfired and fired at the wall, so the bullet picked a "lucky" person indoors to hit.

The middle-aged man is the "lucky guy".

After learning the source of the gunshot wound, the hospital invested in the treatment of the middle-aged man. However... the effect was still very little. Even if the gun and remaining bullets were dismantled, it would be difficult to understand what kind of spell the cult had cast inside.

Anyway, the middle-aged man won't wake up for a while, and Bai Su only needs to deal with some follow-up matters on the Internet for the time being.

For example, as one of the people who participated in the live broadcast event on the platform, all the people on the same platform in the hotel were attacked. Only Bai Su and his assistant survived.

The reason given by Bai Su was also very simple. He and his assistant left early for something. The live broadcast should have seen him at that time. His figure in the camera flashed past and went out from the door.

"I went out because I had something to do, and I also said hello to the person in charge... So don't ask me what happened at that time, I don't know either."

"That time...where was I then? Near home...well, my new home is quite far away, probably in the XX area."

The black-haired young man in front of the camera only exposed half of his chin, and the environment was dim with no lights on, but those with sharp eyes could still tell that he was not in his new home, which he had only broadcast a few times.

Not in a new home, but in a dormitory provided by a special department.

After hastily saying goodbye to the audience in the live broadcast room, Bai Su felt that the duration of this month's live broadcast would be wasted. However, after most of the platform anchors collapsed in hotels in Baiwu District, the duration became not so important.

Turning on the TV and watching the news again, the monster found that it was still the same as at noon.

He stood up and looked at the window of the human dormitory, and began to think about when the days of clocking in in the special department would end.

How about... let that middle-aged man wake up early?
