Chapter 58: Changes are coming
"Moreover, haven't you noticed that both the top leaders of the federation and these soldiers have actually acquiesced to this 'choice'..." Sun Hang continued, "In addition to setting up a blockade, they also have nothing to do with it. Didn’t do it.”
"What about Yang Qi?"
Sun Hang was silent for a moment, and then said: "I can't save her."
……
……
Time passed by, and there were fewer and fewer people walking back and forth in the base. Everyone returned to their respective posts, waiting for that moment to arrive.
Sun Hang heard it clearly. When the clock jumped from 14:59 to 15:00, the colonel standing next to him swallowed hard.
"There are still fifteen minutes." Yang Lian tightened his grip on the tablet in his hand, his knuckles turning slightly white.
……
May 19, 15:14.
Last minute.
No voice could be heard in the huge air force base, and the thumping of the heart had never been so clear.
In the last ten seconds, everyone held their breath.
Five seconds.
Three seconds.
One second.
A gust of cold wind blew by, picking up a piece of waste paper lying on the ground, spinning twice in mid-air, and finally landed under the steps where Sun Hang had been sitting and eating.
Nothing happened.
"What's going on?" The colonel was the first to break the silence. He turned to look at Sun Hang and said in a deep voice, "I need an explanation."
At the same time, Sun Hang's cell phone also rang, and the caller ID showed an unfamiliar number.
Sun Hang pressed the answer button, and Ye Xuan's voice came from the receiver: "The mutation didn't happen, why?"
"The time will not be wrong." Sun Hang said to those who were looking at him, "I did see that the time displayed on the Financial Center Building was 3:15 pm on May 19... Then, the only thing that is wrong is perspective.”
"Perspective?" The colonel obviously didn't understand what Sun Hang meant.
"This 3:15 pm on May 19th is a time for those people." Sun Hang glanced at the temporary camp on the playground in the distance, "And from our perspective, in the real world The time should be ten hours later, on May 20th, at one fifteen in the morning.”
"..." The colonel stared at Sun Hang for a long time, and then said slowly, "I will give you one last chance. If nothing abnormal happens after ten hours, you will not be able to escape responsibility... You are commanding All the recordings of conversations between the room and the hijackers have been preserved.”
"Listening to what you said, you seem to want the change to happen?" Sun Hang glanced at him and asked.
The colonel was immediately choked by these words. He took three deep breaths before saying in a deep voice: "Of course I don't want any changes to happen, but I cannot tolerate anyone disrupting the order of the army and society through illegal means."
"Then just keep waiting." Sun Hang simply took out his phone and started playing the small game he had just downloaded.
The whole afternoon quickly passed in waiting, and night fell slowly.
The huge searchlight turned on again, and the pale light shrouded every corner of the base, illuminating people's skin as pale as zombies.
Many people's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes - in these three days, almost no one had a peaceful sleep, especially the one hundred and eighty-eight people in the barracks, everyone's face was covered with bloodshot eyes. A haggard look, thick dark circles under the eyes and greasy, tangled hair have almost become standard features.
There were toilets in the temporary barracks, but no bathrooms. There were protests about this at first, but as time went by, people no longer cared about such trivial matters as bathing.
They care more about what they will face when "that moment" comes.
Sun Hang combed his hair. Under the blowing of the night wind, in just ten minutes, his hair was already completely dry.
He glanced at Yang Lian, whose face was shiny, and asked, "Aren't you going to take a shower? You may not have the chance later."
"I'm not in that mood." Yang Lian said. She kept her head down and drew and wrote on the tablet. Various mathematical formulas were densely packed on page after page, and she didn't know what she was calculating.
"Did you study mathematics or physics in college?" Sun Hang leaned over, glanced at the "Book of Heaven" on the screen, and asked.
"Occultism." Yang Lian replied without raising his head.
This is an unpopular but very important major. There are two reasons why it is unpopular: 1. The admission score of this major is extremely high, much higher than that of all regular majors; 2. Few parents agree with it. children apply for this major.
Because being admitted to this major means that you will be dealing with extremely dangerous things like monsters for the rest of your life. Very few parents can accept their children engaging in this field of work. There is no other reason - people in this field , the accidental death rate is too high.
"I just wanted to follow in my sister's footsteps." Yang Lian continued, "But I made a serious mistake during the final interview. I was not selected by the Institute of Creatures, so I had to settle for the next best thing and join the Anomaly Investigation Bureau." "I didn't expect you to be a sister-in-law."
"It's eleven fifty-seven." Yang Lian said, "In three minutes, it will be May 20th."
"Don't worry, there's still more than an hour." Sun Hang said.
"You didn't plan to save her, right?" Yang Lian suddenly asked.
Sun Hang said nothing, took out his mobile phone and started playing.
"I will find a way myself." Yang Lian said again.
"I advise you not to do anything stupid."
"I will take responsibility for my own actions."
"Your sister definitely doesn't want you to set yourself up for her." Sun Hang added, "Why don't you think about your parents... You don't have any other brothers and sisters, right?"
"...I suddenly feel that you...are really annoying."

May 20, early morning, 1:12.
"Three minutes." The colonel had already put on urban camouflage training uniforms and held a lit cigarette in his hand.
At his feet, cigarette butts were scattered all over the floor - this man who was nearly fifty years old had not slept for more than twenty-four hours, relying entirely on the stimulation of Nicotine to survive until now.
Sun Hang turned on the timer that came with his phone, simulating the "ticking" of a mechanical clock. Every tick was like a drum beating on everyone's heart.
Three minutes, one hundred and eighty seconds.
The colonel held the cigarette between his arms, but did not take a puff, letting the long ash hang there.
When the timer reached zero, a harsh exclamation came from the temporary barracks, piercing the silent night sky.
The colonel was startled, and the cigarette butt in his hand was thrown heavily to the ground, and he shouted: "Quick! Find out what happened in the temporary barracks immediately!"
But before the soldiers could take action, a man opened the tent door and ran out. With a frightened expression on his face, he shouted "Help me" while running towards the blockade.
However, in just a few seconds, his body began to become gradually transparent... When he was still a few meters away from the blockade, he completely disappeared from everyone's sight. It's like he never appeared.
The soldiers standing behind the blockade were completely stunned. It was not until the second and third people rushed out of the barracks that they picked up their weapons as if they had just woken up from a dream, and yelled at people to return to the barracks.
"The change actually happened..." the colonel murmured.
"Go to the surveillance screen of drone No. 4." Sun Hang said to the technical soldier sitting in front of the computer.
This No. 4 drone was specially arranged by Sun Hang to monitor Tent No. 19.
In Tent No. 19 lived the family of Ding Yuanjiang, a member of the Tianfu City Management Committee. In addition to Ding Yuanjiang and his wife, they also included their two children who were suffering from fever, and the two old people who had to follow them whether or not they were here.
The two old men were not missing. They were not marked by that strange thing, and the time they perceived was exactly the same as in the real world.
But now, in the surveillance footage, the two old men holding on to their children are beginning to show signs of transparency.
"The mutation phenomenon will be 'contagious'." Sun Hang looked at the surveillance screen and said calmly, "It's just as expected."
If he and Ye Xuan hadn't forced all the missing people to be gathered together, there would probably be more than just these 188 people implicated now.
Just when Sun Hang wanted to see what measures the military would take next, his cell phone rang crazily.
"Hello?"
"Sun Hang, it's not good!" The person who called was Song Yarong from the research institute. The previous task of monitoring the Chengnan Cemetery was entrusted to her. "A large number of strange objects were detected in the Chengnan Cemetery. ! Moreover, there are many monsters that have been clearly destroyed! I don’t know why, but these monsters are mysteriously resurrected!”
"It's not resurrection...these monsters came from sixty-five years ago. At that time, they had not been eliminated."
"And... there's even worse news!" Song Yarong said breathlessly.
"Say."
"The Federal Bureau of Anomaly Investigation sent a message that the phenomenon-like monster 'Yisan Yongye' that had disappeared for 130 years has reappeared..." Song Yarong's words were trembling, "Its coverage is... the entire Shuzhou area”
