Survive in the end of America
Chapter 1: Brian
Suburbs of Austin, Texas, United States.
The morning sun shines through the shaded curtains, illuminating the slightly dark room. On the big bed in the room, a boy of about 13 years old is sleeping soundly. The sunlight outside the window seems to make him feel a little uncomfortable, and his eyes are slightly Trembling, he unconsciously turned his head facing the window in a different direction.
"Ding--!"
Just when the boy turned his head, on the bedside table next to him, the alarm clock in the shape of a cat face made a harsh beating sound, which woke the boy from his sleep.
Frowning slightly, the young man stretched his arms out of the quilt, pressed the alarm clock on the bedside with ease, and then slowly opened his somewhat sour eyes.
Rubbing his eyes, the young man sat up from the quilt, stretched his limbs and stretched his waist vigorously, and at the same time made a strange cry like constipation.
Glancing at the time on the alarm clock, it was already 7:00. Without the slightest nostalgia, I lifted the quilt, put on the slippers placed by the bed, and entered the bathroom to wash.
Picking up the cup and toothbrush on the sink, looking at his delicate appearance in the mirror, the corners of the boy's mouth rose slightly, and he said proudly:
"I didn't expect that there would be such benefits after crossing over."
That's right, the young man is a person who accidentally crossed over because of death. It has been almost a month since he came to this world. He has also gradually adapted from the initial confusion to the present. He discovered this world and his original world. Almost the same.
In this world, his name is Brian, and his parents are overseas Chinese. He is not at home all the year due to work reasons, so there is only him and a nanny in the whole house, which just happens to save him the embarrassment of recognizing his parents as soon as he crosses over. Happening.
Generally speaking, he is very satisfied with his current life, without the pressure of his previous life, he doesn't need to worry about the mortgage and car loan that is on his head every day, the most important thing is that he is an orphan there and has no debts. He was married, so he could live here without any psychological burden.
After washing up, Brian took off his pajamas, took out a set of school uniforms from the closet and put them on. After a brief tidy up, he turned and left the room.
In the hall on the first floor, a middle-aged woman was preparing breakfast in the kitchen. When she heard footsteps on the stairs, she leaned back and saw Brian standing on the stairs at a glance.
"Hey, I got up really early today."
Seeing the middle-aged woman suddenly sticking out half of her head, Brian nodded and greeted him: "Good morning, Josie."
"You go and sit at the table first, breakfast will be ready soon.
After passing through the living room, Brian sat on a chair in the dining room, picked up the newspaper on the table and read it. There was no way he could keep his cell phone away from him. He could read the contents of the newspaper, but his brows were raised. Can not help but slightly wrinkled.
"The number of hospital admissions in the district's hospitals has surged, and the number of strange infections has increased by 300%"
"The FDA Food Hygiene Agency found more contaminated crops and expected a large number of recalls."
"The woman went crazy and killed her husband and 3 others."
Brian found that since he crossed over, strange infections and murders in this world had increased daily, which made him very doubtful that his arrival had brought some strange changes to the world.
"You have to finish your breakfast."
Just as Brian was carefully reading the contents of the newspaper, Josie had brought the prepared breakfast in front of him, eggs, donuts, hash browns and milk, a typical American breakfast.
He couldn't help rolling his eyes. At this moment, he missed the soy milk, fried dough sticks and porridge that he had eaten in his previous life. It didn't mean how delicious it was. It was just that he was a little unacceptable to eat these sweet, panic-stricken and energy-exploding foods every day. .
After a few quick bites, Brian took advantage of Josie's inattentiveness, hurriedly picked up the schoolbag beside him and rushed out the door, ignoring the voice of the other party shouting behind him.
"Hey, Brian."
Just as he turned around and closed the door, Brian heard someone calling his name next to him. He turned his head and saw that it was the girl who lived next door to his house calling him.
The girl's name is Sarah, she has short pale blond hair and looks very cute. She is the first friend Brian made when he came to this world. Well, he also learned a lot of original and General information about all nearby households.
"Good morning."
Seeing Sarah who walked quickly in front of him, Brian also greeted him kindly, and then he saw a middle-aged man with a Chinese character and a beard standing not far behind the girl. He stared at him ill-naturedly.
The middle-aged man's name is Joel, who is Sarah's father. He seems to be a construction worker. Brian hasn't seen the other's wife, but he thinks it's nothing more than divorce or death.
Brian looked at the other party's eyes as if he was looking at a pig, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, but he still greeted the other party very calmly:
"Good morning, Joel."
On the opposite side, Joel stared at him for a while, until Brian was a little uncomfortable, and then he nodded slightly, then picked up the phone and made a call, although the distance was a little far, but He still heard what he seemed to be saying about contractors or something.
"Yeah~" Sarah, who was standing on the side, clearly witnessed the whole process, covered her mouth and chuckled, patted Brian on the shoulder, and when she saw the other party turned to look at him, she said mockingly:
"My dad doesn't seem to like you very much."
"Ha ha."
Brian and Sarah study in the same school, and the school has a special shuttle bus. Because the place where they live is located in the suburbs of the city and near the highway intersection, the students here will wait at the designated place for safety reasons. , the vehicle will directly board when it arrives.
If you do not arrive at the designated time due to your own reasons, you will be embarrassed. Parents need to drive or take the bus to send their children to school in person.
"Good morning, Jimmy."
"Good morning, Cooper."
"......"
The two walked on the road that they must pass every day. Sarah seemed particularly happy today, waving her arms constantly, greeting people she knew passing by.
"Hey, Brian."
When there was no one else nearby, Sarah turned her head to the side Brian and said:
"Today I'm going to sneak out of school to go to the mall, do you want to come?"
Brian raised his brows with a surprised expression. After getting along this month,
He knew that Sarah was a very well-behaved girl, and he didn't expect to have such a rebellious side.
"Mr. Judy will be mad if you dare to do that."
"Hmph, just don't let her find out."
Sarah was obviously prepared for today's truancy action. She took out a piece of paper folded into squares from her pocket and handed it to Brian.
"This is what I saw last time on Teacher Judy's desk. You can see it by looking at it."
After taking the paper that Sarah handed over, Brian spread it out to take a look, and immediately understood the other party's confidence. The content on it was as follows:
XX school notice:
Our school will hold a XXX meeting in the public meeting room on September 6, 2013 at 1:00 pm. All teachers of our school are requested to arrive on time. hereby notified.
"You are already prepared."
Shaking the notice in his hand, Brian was very surprised, and then asked curiously:
"What are you going to do when you skip class and go to the mall?"
"Today is my dad's birthday, and I'm going to buy him a present."
"Okay, when will I go with you?"
"I'll let you know."
.....
Entering the school bus, Brian found a seat at random and sat down, admiring the beautiful scenery outside the window. This was the unseen scenery he lived in the city before. Compared with the cold reinforced concrete, he actually liked the scenery in front of him more. A green, vibrant scene.
The school bus drove unsteadily for half an hour. Brian and Sarah arrived at the school. The teachers were already waiting at the school gate. After the bus door opened, they led their classmates back to the classroom.
The way of education here is completely different from what Brian has faced before. It is very happy, and there is basically no teacher supervision. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
He can feel that teachers in American schools pay more attention to the imagination and creativity of students, and follow the route of high-end education, while his previous education focused on learning cognitive ability and took the route of basic education , both have advantages and disadvantages, it is difficult to say which method is better.
After spending another morning happily like this, Brian came to the cafeteria and looked at the hamburgers and sandwiches in the window with a very helpless expression. He could feel his stomach protesting, but not eating lunch was bad for his body. No, I can't seem to have any choice but to go back and open a small stove at night.
After lunch, Brian just walked out of the cafeteria and saw someone posting the latest notice on the notice board at the entrance of the restaurant.
Having nothing to do, he stepped forward curiously. After the person who posted the notice left, he stepped forward to watch.
It turns out that because of the recent sudden outbreak of infectious diseases, the entire Austin is about to enter a state of martial law. The school has issued a notice that from October, the school will be closed indefinitely. Students are requested to go home and notify their own If you are concerned, please call XXXXXX.
"Is it all that serious?"
Thinking of a certain epidemic in his previous life, Brian decided to buy some masks to prepare, but just as he was about to turn around and leave, a large group of students crowded behind him, all watching the announcement excitedly, some even He also clapped his hands excitedly.
After finally getting out of the crowd, he was just about to return to the classroom when he suddenly felt something jabbing at his waist behind him, his footsteps paused slightly, he turned his head and found that it was indeed Sarah standing behind him.
Seeing him turn around, Sarah blinked her eyes, made a booing gesture, pointed to a corner of the cafeteria, touched her lips lightly, and said silently:
"action!"
