Indescribable cyberpunk

On February 27, it snowed heavily in Yecheng.

It is clear that spring is approaching, and this snowfall can be said to be coming a little later than usual.

But this momentum is not like a late-winter snow, but more like a provocative vent of winter against spring before leaving.

Within just a few hours after the first snowflake fell, the temperature in Yecheng plummeted to below zero, turning it into a veritable kingdom of ice and snow.

"This snow is so strange. It's been ten years. No, I haven't seen it since I was born!"

In the weather forecast bureau in the outer city of Yecheng, there was a "very smart" man who kept patting the snowflakes on his shoulders. He just went to the corridor to close the window, but in just a few seconds, his body was covered with ice and snow.

"It's a snowstorm, and it's a pretty serious snowstorm. Old Wu, we're done this time."

Someone was standing at the window, holding a cup of hot coffee in his hand. He glanced back at the data on the light screen on the desktop and whispered helplessly.

There was a floor-to-ceiling window in front of him, but outside the window, there was no sign of the busy night scene in the outer city.

It wasn't because I got off work early or for any other reason, it was just because the wind and snow were so heavy that it had completely obscured the scenery outside.

"What does it have to do with us? We didn't bring this blizzard?"

The man known as Lao Wu is constantly clicking on the light screen in front of him with a smart pen to view various weather data updated in real time.

"This blizzard has nothing to do with us. The problem is that we failed to forecast it in time. This is the biggest problem. The news I only learned yesterday afternoon was just a forecast of a blizzard. It was not reported to the Yecheng government for them to pay attention. , look at the situation outside now, how much loss do you think there will be without any preparation?"

"Hey, don't worry about how much damage there is, come and see this, something happened!"

Looking at the blue low temperature warning and strong wind warning on the light screen, Old Wu looked very ugly.

"How could it be? It's minus 12 degrees Celsius! This level of low temperature has only occurred for one or two days this winter, right?"

Yecheng's geographical location determines that its winters cannot be too cold. It is minus 12 degrees Celsius, which is extremely rare. I put the coffee next to the table. I can't drink it in this situation. I thought for a while and said,

"We must give the government an immediate warning so that they can prepare for the snow disaster as soon as possible. Lao Wu, what are you doing?"

As he was speaking, Lao Wu suddenly stood up, left his seat and walked out.

"I've reported the situation. You can help me with the next thing. My wife just got off work and I have to pick her up."

Due to the sudden snowstorm, the entire Yecheng city fell into chaos in a short period of time. Buses were blocked on the road and delays were inevitable.

He took the elevator all the way to the Meteorological Bureau garage and drove away. According to his plan, he took his wife home directly to settle the matter.

"The headlights and taillights of the car are adjusted to the brightest, the autonomous driving mode is turned on, and it is heading to the Third Street in the outer city of Yecheng."

Fasten your seat belt tightly. It’s not that Lao Wu doesn’t know how to drive manually. It’s just that the wind and snow that are constantly beating on the car window in front of him are really a test for his driving skills. However, nowadays, the relationship between man and machine is as close as that between a tub and toilet paper. At the same time, he obviously relies more on the latter.

But this still did not make his trip smoother.

After just two streets, the car had to stop.

"Mr. Wu, the vehicles ahead are congested and cannot move forward. The traffic light shows normal traveling status. An urging signal has been sent. No response."

The intelligent system installed in the car faithfully performed its duties. However, the rear lights of the vehicles in front of the car that were vaguely reflected through the wind and snow made Old Wu's face look even more ugly.

"Damn it, even if the light is green, why don't you leave? Do you think you are Takumi? You don't have to drive manually with the intelligent system, and this is not Akina Mountain, Gan!"

Obviously, Lao Wu should have watched a certain classic anime from a hundred years ago when he was a child, and road rage will not diminish with the changes of the times. In fact, due to the production of airships, this situation has even become worse. expand.

"Crown, tell the car in front to move away quickly!"

For these smart systems in daily life, the developer and controller has always been Crown Group, so before being renamed by the buyer, all smart systems have the original name of Crown.

"Okay, the message will be sent again, the message will be heard again~"

After the repeated prompts, there was a harsh busy tone. Old Wu was startled, and then looked at the display screen beside the steering wheel with some confusion, which was already covered with snowflakes.

Will Crown Machinery's products have problems?

Lao Wu couldn't care about it now. He only knew that the car had automatically switched to manual driving, and he had to let the car in front of him leave.

For this reason, he opened the car door, braved the wind and snow, and went forward, intending to use the most primitive method to remind them.

But when he walked through the snow that was only a few meters away and came to one of the cars, what he saw was a broken windshield and empty seats.

Maybe the situation in front of him was too weird, or maybe the surrounding temperature was too low, which made Old Wu's thinking more and more rigid. After he noticed the strangeness in front of him, all he could do was wrap up his clothes, and then subconsciously take a look. There are also stalled vehicles nearby.

The current situation of the two cars is actually different.

The car on Lao Wu's left was just filled with snowflakes, while the car on his right had ice on the steering wheel and only half of the windshield left.

In other words, the car on the right had been like this a long time ago, while the car on the left had an accident not long ago.

The windshield was all broken, which means the impact came from the front.

So Old Wu looked forward blankly. He saw the violent wind and snow, and saw other cars stagnant in the wind and snow.

I also saw a pair of bright stars that looked like burning eyes in the wind and snow.

"Hey, I want to call the police. I'm on Yunqi Road in the outer city. There are monsters in the wind and snow! Help me, help me!"

Shivering as he walked forward, Old Wu vaguely felt the approach of a certain existence, but he really couldn't walk fast because his legs were going weak, and the sound of the alarm even sounded like crying.

Old Wu looked at the wind and snow that was still rampant in front of him, and the sound of muffled thunder and explosions suddenly sounded in his ears.

Pa da ~

The phone fell from my hand.

"Sir, we have dispatched a rescue team. Could you please explain the current situation in detail? Sir?"

The Yecheng Public Security Department operator’s questioning voice rang out from the microphone.

The owner of the phone has long since disappeared.

About half an hour later, people from the Public Security Department arrived in an airboat. There was never any compromise in dealing with monsters.

"Be aware of your surroundings and be ready to fight!"

Heavily armed soldiers rushed out of the airship, and the heat-sensing system of the mask scanned around, finding no suspicious life forms.

The person in charge of this operation is Chu Yun's current team.

Although no one wants to be out in this kind of weather, who put them on duty today.

"Protect the scene, Shield!"

The captain shouted, and several people in the team immediately took out a mechanical cylinder from the airship cabin, and rushed into the cars ahead under the escort of a whole combat team. After a short operation, a layer of blue The energy shield rapidly expanded with the mechanical cylinder as the center, and the surrounding wind and snow were completely isolated.

"Release drones and expand search and rescue coverage."

Another order was issued, and several robots on all fours, about the height of a person's knees, immediately dispersed in all directions.

"Alfa, can we still contact the caller? Is there any surveillance video of the scene?"

Directing his subordinates to search, the captain relied on his electronic computer to access Yecheng's core intelligent system and inquired about the situation at the scene.

"Morton, the second-level inspector of the Public Security Department, verified that the camera was damaged by unknown forces, failed to record the image, and was unable to contact the caller. His mobile phone location is at your location."

Alpha's response was as cold and mechanical as ever, as if it was snowing in the sky.

"Captain, come here quickly, there's a situation!"

Chu Yun's voice came from the earphones, she paused the call with Alpha, and rushed forward in three steps at a time.

The snow on the road between the vehicles had been cleared. Morton stood beside the vehicle. His eyes first stayed on the windshield of the vehicle for a while, and then completely fell on the footprints in front of him.

Why are there footprints left in such a heavy snowstorm?

Because the guy who left this footprint shattered the asphalt street with his foot, and this footprint was a bit too big.
