Apocalypse Forecast

h, now it ’s called a male escort, it ’s all the same. ”

The boss nodded knowingly, waved his hand generously and said, ”It ’s okay, since you called me boss, I ’ll take care of you from now on. ”

As he spoke, he took out a bottle from his bag and stuffed it into Huai Shi ’s arms.
He patted his shoulder with great emphasis and said, ”Even if you ’re a prostitute, you have to be professional.
Go back and remove the oil from your face.
Your skin care is too rough.
It ’s a shame for this little face…
Use it sparingly.
This is a high-end product from Europe. ”

Without waiting for Huai Shi to say ”thank you, ” he lifted his chin and walked away.

”… ”

Huai Shi stood at the door in amazement, looking down at the cosmetics in his hand.
He didn ’t know whether to throw this thing at the door and shout something like ”Thirty years in the river, thirty years in the sea ” or ”Don ’t bully the poor young man. ”

For a long time, he looked at the delicate little bottle and reluctantly put it in his pocket with a toothache.

Forget it, since he ’s already here, it looks expensive, it ’s a waste to throw it away…
He hasn ’t opened it yet, he ’ll let Lao Yang sell it later.

Poverty makes me humble.

Why am I still so poor even though I have a golden finger!

He took out the notebook from his backpack, flipped through it and sighed deeply, then put it back in his pocket.Thinking of Lao Yang, he couldn ’t help but grit his teeth with hatred, took out his phone and dialed the number, cursing, ”Lao Yang, are you crazy? You introduced me to be a prostitution! Are you just trying to make money off of me? ”

”Hey, it ’s not my fault.
They require young people with rich work experience, good looks, and talent…I was just thinking about you since you ’re so poor.
Don ’t be mad, let me treat you to dinner the day after tomorrow.
Celebrate your sister-in-law ’s recent release from the hospital.
Remember to bring some chives over…. ”

”Bring your ass, will you eat or not? ”

Huai Shi hung up the phone angrily.
This bastard was definitely doing it on purpose, just to get the intermediary fee from him after he accidentally got on the wrong boat.

But when he thought of Lao Yang ’s situation at home, he couldn ’t bring himself to hate him.

This guy was working himself to death to pay for his wife ’s cancer treatment.
Otherwise, he wouldn ’t even be doing odd jobs like Huai Shi ’s part-time work, just for a few dozen bucks in commission…
Besides, apart from the intermediary fee, he was actually quite fair and didn ’t try to cheat him out of any more money.

They were like brothers in a difficult situation.

Forget it…

Huai Shi sighed and heard thunder.

Over the gloomy sky, black clouds floated in from the distance.
Under the dim sunlight, one could vaguely see coral reefs growing between the clouds, and shadows of schools of fish swimming…

The slightly blue ocean gently swayed, casting ripples of light on the earth.

It ’s going to rain.

It was said that this kind of coral clouds were rare seventy to eighty years ago, when they were still in the sea, not flying around the world in the sky.

Many scientists said it was due to the discovery of rare elements or air pollution, but not many people believed them.

At first, everyone was panicked, thinking that the end of the world was coming.
But after waiting for decades, they didn ’t even see the classic post-apocalyptic species of zombies.

As time went by, everyone got used to it.

It was just something floating in the sky, and it rained a little more.
The planes just changed their routes, and life went on as usual.

Money still had to be made, debts still had to be paid, and life still had to go on.

After a few chaotic days, everything returned to normal.

It seemed no different from before.

Thunder rumbled.

Huai Shi didn ’t bring an umbrella and didn ’t want to waste time.
He turned and ran home, but in the midst of his sprint, he heard a loud noise coming from the distance.

This thunder was particularly clear, and even the earth trembled.He looked up in the direction of the sound and saw a plume of smoke and fire rising from the distant pier, as if something had exploded.

The pedestrians on the street looked at each other, their expressions confused.
Some excitedly took out their phones to take pictures, while others approached to see what was going on.

If it were usual, Huai Shi might have gone to see what was happening, but now he felt like he was about to be crushed by the double burden of life and prostitution.
He decided to ignore the commotion and turned left into a small alley, picking up his pace.

Bang!

At the end of the alley, a bottle was kicked against the wall, shattering into pieces.
Someone stumbled out from the corner, drunk and unsteady.
Without slowing down, he brushed past Huai Shi, slammed into the wall, and then fell to the ground.

Huai Shi was stunned.
Who was this ”true man ”?

But before he could react, the ”true man ” stumbled back, saw Huai Shi, and then rushed towards him.
Huai Shi couldn ’t dodge in time and was grabbed by the wrist.
He felt a heavy box being shoved into his arms.

”What is this? ”

He stood there, instinctively trying to pull his hand away, but he felt something wet and sticky on his hand.
Blood was flowing out of the man ’s sleeve.

The pungent smell of blood filled the air, and Huai Shi felt a sudden dizziness and headache.
He bent over and vomited uncontrollably.

When he looked up, he saw the man ’s twisted and distorted face, and then he saw a small goldfish in the pool of blood he had just vomited.

Even though the scene was so bizarre, Huai Shi couldn ’t help but notice the cute little fish.
But as he watched, the fish quickly withered and melted into the blood.

As the goldfish died, the man seemed to lose all his strength and collapsed to the ground, no longer breathing.
Only the thick red blood continued to seep out from under his windbreaker.

In the silence, only Huai Shi remained in the alley.And then there was the box that was shoved into his hand…

The box looked larger than an ordinary Rubik ’s cube, heavy in his hand, and when he shook it, it seemed to be filled with liquid.

It had a unique icy-cold texture, like a mix of iron and copper, and was carved with intricate totems that Huai Shi had never seen before.
However, these totems were covered in sticky blood, making them difficult to see, but there seemed to be an inexplicable magical power emanating from them.

Huai Shi swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

He felt thirsty.

Just holding the box in his hand made him want to open it, as if there was something inside that had an unparalleled allure to him, something he wanted to possess, to obtain…

He took a deep breath.

In this situation, what should he choose? Did he even need to think about it?

Without hesitation, Huai Shi took out his phone.

”Hello? 911? ”
