Chapter 03: Airport Residuals

The scene of the airplane landing appeared on the computer half an hour before the landing

Fortunately, all five individuals arrived at the entrance, and they quickly closed the glass door, then moved a sofa from the side to block the doorway and pause for a moment

Post after post recounts the same events, as if, half an hour ago, these inexplicably ferocious animals simultaneously attacked numerous cities

Inside, in addition to a multitude of interfaces, there are two large toolboxes placed on a metal rack, a cleaning cart leaning against the door, and a circle of cables coiled together, with various wires intertwined—this appears to be a backup storage room as well

Good

The airport terminal was as usual at the beginning, with passengers quietly waiting for security checks and shuttle buses. Suddenly, an emergency announcement came over the intercom

He ultimately found 2 laptops and 3 mobile phones

It has almost split in half

In addition, there are some sticky black droppings on the ground, but each piece is quite small, roughly the size of a fingernail on a little finger. They are extremely numerous, and almost every few steps one can see one or two piles. Given their dense quantity, it is unlikely that they belong to a green-haired cat, which means that...

The straight-line distance from the shuttle bus to the airport terminal entrance is approximately 800 meters, yet this short distance has made all five individuals extremely anxious. It is nighttime, but the surrounding area is well-lit, leaving no place to hide. If they run across, they will be exposed, and if there are any animals lying in ambush nearby, the likelihood of total annihilation is very high

Liang Zuo originally intended to say that behaving this way might actually make you a target for attacks

Zhou Qi skillfully grabbed the computer and rushed upstairs, while Liang Zuo quickly followed.

Passengers, the airport is currently under an unidentified attack, please evacuate the airport immediately, please evacuate the airport immediately

Liang Zuo proposed, "Perhaps applying a bit of feces from the ground might improve the situation"

Thus, the five individuals took a deep breath and ran desperately towards the entrance

In our city, there have appeared large rats and strange cats, we need help! They can even gnaw through iron doors! We are at Unit 2, 32nd Floor, XX Community. Please, kind-hearted people who see this, help us call the police. Our phone is not working, and the internet is only accessible through this one connection.

In front are three male staff members, each holding a baton, cautiously making their way along the airplane towards the shuttle bus. Liang Zuo and another person silently follow behind them

After boarding the shuttle bus, a staff member quickly ran to the driver's seat and began attempting to start the vehicle, while two others stood at the two entrances, manually closing the doors with valves

He discovered that there were none of the feces and feathers found outside in the hall, which meant that those animals had likely not yet entered. Meanwhile, the airport began an emergency evacuation. Given the urgency of the situation, there was no time for hesitation as he quickly rummaged through one bag after another. Many of the bags taken onto the plane were secured with customs locks and safety locks, which became an obstacle at this moment. Fortunately, many had been forcibly torn open by some creature, providing Liang Zuo with assistance.

Zhou Qi was filled with despair

Liang Zuo helplessly pointed to his dented MacBook on his chest. This device had turned into a shield at a critical moment, saving his life.

Liang Zuo looked around and found that there were currently no signs of animal intrusion: "I will go find the computer for you, you go in and hide first. The interface should be inside, right? Please confirm."

When Liang Zuozheng was deep in thought, someone nearby asked, "Why do you want to come down?"

You are truly efficient

One of the three staff members took the lead and said, "We will go contact the person; you all find a VIP room to hide in for a while. We will meet here in forty minutes."

After the three staff members left, Zhou Qi suddenly said seriously: "This time we might be facing a big problem. I want to see what exactly happened at the airport. What do you think?"

He answered truthfully: "Staying on the plane is actually more dangerous. The strange cat has almost dismantled the plane, and it seems that rescue cannot arrive in time. If the strange cat returns, or if the previous crow comes back, staying on the plane would be a dead end."

He is about to push open a door

The people inside continue to tremble, remaining motionless

At the entrance of the airport terminal, there are numerous travelers' suitcases and bags, some of which have been torn open, with cosmetics, tissues, snacks, and books scattered all over the ground. Liang Zuo quickly found a MacBook inside a black suitcase.

Liang Zuo called out to slow down

This proposal received unanimous approval, and quickly led to the collection of excrement in the surrounding area. In the end, Zhou Qi was the most extravagant, not only removing the excrement but also deliberately sticking a considerable number of crow feathers onto his body

A somewhat frustrated voice came from the front: "We've run out of fuel, we have to walk in now"

Liang Zuo watched the video again and adjusted the plush hat on his head: "The key is how these things came about. Is there internet access here? I remember there is a wired connection, and we should be able to log in."

He recalled the mocking gaze of the crow from before

Help me find a computer, I work in programming, and with a computer, I can connect to the airport's system... Anyway, even if they sound the alarm now, it won't matter.

Liang Zuo, the left of left and right

Then Liang Zuo took out those cables and used the surrounding fixed rivets and iron frames to create protective nets, which were finally affixed to the door. The second time, vertical and horizontal wires were used to form a woven mesh, allowing for flexibility and serving as a decent trap. Even if a group of green-haired cats suddenly entered, it could still provide some obstruction.

Zhou Qizhao waved to him

At the corner, he suddenly spotted a living person hiding among the pile of sofas. Previously, due to excessive tension, he had not looked too far; it was only now that he noticed. The pile of sofas was clearly arranged by someone, and within it, a figure was trembling.

Indeed, this perspective is valid

Rubbing his chest, Zhou Qi appeared to be in a state of relief after surviving a calamity

His theory is quite simple

Liang Zuo's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of green light, which was the eyes of the green-haired cat. His heart raced violently; due to his youth and frequent exercise, he was far ahead of the other few people.

Liang Zuo had no choice but to run up first

Gritting his teeth, Liang Zuo shouted at him: "Are you still alive? If you are, come out and walk with us."

At this point, neither Zhou Qi nor Liang Zuo had any smiles on their faces

The only two individuals who applied and disembarked from the aircraft were the two of them

Liang Zuo nodded slightly

The two individuals can be considered as comrades in life and death

You are not dead. Get up

Carrying these items, he ran upstairs once again

Are there any cars available for sale? Urgently needed! Price is flexible!

Soon, several mice appeared in the frame, their size identical to that of the one that had previously attacked Zhou Qi, sniffing around and tearing open various packages. Just as they were about to further explore and forage, the green-haired cat rushed in, causing the mice to quickly flee towards the boarding gate

Zhou Qi lay on the ground, his eyes vacant: "I am dead, I am dead... Tell my girlfriend that I really have no one outside... That was just my ex-girlfriend, our encounter was purely coincidental, the password was her birthday plus my birthday..."

Liang Zuo first opened the toolbox, which contained a saw, pliers, a claw hammer, a wooden mallet, a chisel, screws, scissors, and so on

There is another group of species here

The screen ends here

Come with me

It is possible. However, many websites are inaccessible, including several major social media platforms. I have tried dozens of them

Liang Zuo thought for a moment and tried a small forum. He was able to enter. Inside, the prominent posts were all requests for help.

Poseidon has officially landed on land

After a few seconds of stagnation, the people in the frame began to flee towards the exit

While running, Zhou Qi explained: "I used to work at the airport, and most airports have similar layouts. Later, I transitioned to become a freelance programmer and started creating my own things... Now, there should be an interface here"

Do not go outside, hide well

Have you seen the green-skinned shark appearing at sea

After finishing speaking, Liang Zuo ran downstairs

Small terrestrial animals, including mammals and amphibians, have been infected and are beginning to exhibit aggressive and lethal behavior, attacking humans indiscriminately. Everyone is advised to exercise caution, stay indoors, and refrain from going out. Preliminary estimates suggest that the Poseidon virus has spread to urban areas via sea breezes and is rapidly proliferating.

Liang Zuo noticed some crow feathers scattered on the ground, quickly picked up two of them, and put them in his bag, intending to study them during his free time

Mouse

However, these measures are actions taken in emergency situations, and one should not be overly demanding.

Insightful! My thoughts are quite similar to yours. Unfortunately, my girlfriend is still unwilling to come down, so I can only hope to connect with the outside world soon. My name is Zhou Qi, with 'Qi' meaning strange. What about you?

... ...

Zhou Qi frowned and said: "So, it means that the big rats came in first, then the green-haired cats attacked them, and finally the crows attacked the green-haired cats? Is that correct?"

However, it was still a bit too late; a black object about half a meter in size suddenly darted out from inside, charging towards Zhou Qi's chest. Liang Zuo could only barely throw his phone, but it missed the target. Nevertheless, the black object let out a roar after the impact and then fled.

Surprisingly, the man from the couple next to Liang Zuo shared the same thoughts.

I have always said that a computer is useful to have with you at all times

He still refuses to move out

Animals often rely on scent to determine friend from foe. There is a lot of feces on the ground, and smearing it on their faces and coats may help them disguise themselves for a while

In the end, he chose one of the long manual wrenches, approximately one meter in length, with a weight that was barely suitable

It was a gigantic rat, with two tusks that nearly reached its chin

I will give it a try

After disembarking from the plane, Liang turned his head to take a look. The surface of the aircraft was already marked with numerous scratches, and many of the windows were cracked. One might mistakenly think it had suffered a terrorist attack.

Zhou Qi exclaimed in admiration, and then quickly began to connect the computer to the console's interface. As soon as he sat in front of the computer, he transformed into a different person, his eyes focused, and his fingers constantly moving across the keys, making a flurry of sounds. Liang Zuo felt a slight sense of relief in his heart; this guy seemed to be somewhat genuine. He surveyed the cramped control room.

There is no time to wait for you. Hurry up

Liang Zuo began to ponder an important question. Since they have landed, why did they choose to simultaneously attack various cities at night? This does not resemble the instinctive drive of animals; rather, it resembles Hitler's Blitzkrieg during World War II, as if someone had meticulously planned the overnight assault

Zhou Qi said: "Let's act together, it will be safer"

Liang Zuodao: "It is likely that the green-haired cat has become more cautious after being attacked by the crow; we need to make use of our time quickly"

Zhou Qi conducted an operation and found some screenshots of previous snapshots of certain websites. The titles of each portal website all narrate the same event.

We have parked the standby vehicles outside gates T1 and T2. Please board the vehicles immediately for evacuation. I repeat, please proceed to gates T1 and T2 as instructed without carrying your luggage, and head to the assembly point immediately

Upon entering and taking a look, Zhou Qidian nodded and said: "Indeed. However, what was that thing before?"

Do not say anything more... it seems that the computer is no longer usable now

Completed ... ... Completed ... ...

Come, come, come, quickly look

Due to the chaos of the scene, many people were knocked down and trampled on the ground. However, the survival instinct of humans is strong enough, and soon those on the ground also scrambled to their feet and desperately fled towards the exit. Even some elderly individuals and children lost their composure and innocence at this moment, merely fleeing forward driven by instinct. A few elderly people even moved faster than the younger ones.

Liang Zuo shook hands with the outstretched hand.
