Chapter 1 Strange Advertisement

"The sun is so big."

Zheng Fan wiped the sweat from his forehead and rode a tricycle. Occasionally, a hint of hot wind blew.

"This ghost weather is hot even the wind."

After complaining again, Zheng Fan stepped on the brakes, held a package in his hand, and made a skillful call.

"Hello, it's Miss Zhang, I'm a courier, yes, I'm here at the doorman downstairs. Please come and get the express."

After hanging up the phone and lit a cigarette, Zheng Fan looked around habitually.

"Hey, isn't this the slowest express delivery in the mail?"

I took a puff of cigarette and was about to browse my Moments to watch the short video to pass the time. Suddenly, Zheng Fan's eyes widened, full of surprise.

Not far away, the mail courier dragged the electric car's chassis with one hand and raised the car over his head. His face was full of relaxation, obviously not much effort.

"This horse-treading, Superman?"

Zheng Fan quickly turned on the camera function of his phone and planned to record this rare scene and post a short video. I believe he would get a lot of likes.

Unfortunately, the mail courier seemed to have discovered Zheng Fan's intention, glanced at Zheng Fan with contempt, swung his right hand, and threw the large three-wheeled electric vehicle on the ground, laughing wildly.

"Haha, labor and capital don't have to go to work anymore! Deliver express delivery? And give a ball!"

As he said that, he left without looking back.

Zheng Fan swallowed hard and said to himself: "Brother, why can you send me a courier with this magical power? It would be a pity not to move bricks on the construction site."

Although it is very exaggerating to hold up hundreds of kilograms of things with one hand, the most in the world is the talented people. A few days ago, he saw a strong man who could lift a thousand kilograms of things in a short video. So although he was surprised, he didn't take it seriously, but he was secretly envious.

Men always advocate power.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, the Miss Zhang who had just called took the express delivery away. Zheng Fan drove the small three-wheeler back to his express delivery company to prepare for lunch break.

This is a distribution warehouse where workers in it divide the express parcels according to different areas of the city. After the division is made, the courier will pack the part of the parcels belonging to his own area into the car and then go to deliver the goods.

It's noon, it's lunch break, Zheng Fan spent ten yuan to eat a Yangzhou fried rice, and then lay on the desk in the office, ready to go to bed.

"It's comfortable to have air conditioning. Xiao Zheng, how many tickets did you give me today?"

A middle-aged man lying on the table in the middle said with a smile.

Zheng Fan put his head on his arm and closed his eyes and said, "I just sent more than a dozen tickets. You don't know that there are fewer and fewer packages coming to Hong Kong recently. It is estimated that the postage for our Breeze Express is too high."

A sense of sleepiness came, and Zheng Fan said impatiently: "Lao Zhang, can your TV sound be smaller? I'm going to sleep."

On the projector in the office, the most popular TV series at the moment - "The Great Sage is here again".

Lao Zhang felt a little embarrassed, smiled and said yes, and then turned the voice down a little.

Zheng Fan's frowning finally relieved a little, and he was about to go on a date with Zhou Gong's sister...

"Please note, all citizens, please note! Zombies have erupted around the world. They are not afraid of swords and guns and cannot be eliminated. Everyone must prepare food and water. Stay at their homes and don't go out, don't go out, wait for rescue..."

People will be very angry when they are awakened when they are asleep, and Zheng Fan is no exception. He slapped the table hard and said angrily: "Old Zhang, your uncle! Didn't you let you down?"

Old Zhang is 45 years old this year. He was pointed at and scolded by a young man in his twenties. He felt very unhappy: "Not blame me! It was this ad that was interspersed, and the voice suddenly became louder. Who are you yelling with?"

Zheng Fan looked at the projector after hearing this, and saw a middle-aged woman on it constantly repeating: "Please be aware of all citizens, please be aware of all citizens! Zombies have erupted around the world, and they are not afraid of swords and guns..."

After looking carefully, the woman had a bottle of drink on her right: "This is a delicious and ridiculous drink. The advertising companies are so awesome. Do you dare to call such advertisements that may cause panic among the public?"

I rubbed my temples and lost all my sleepiness. I took a look at my phone and it was already 1:00 pm and I was going to continue delivering express delivery again.

Zheng Fan ignored Lao Zhang who was still angry. The two of them quarreled all day long and had long been used to it, and they wouldn't be really angry.

Take out a pack of tissues from your pocket and go into the toilet.

It is a habit for many people to go to the bathroom to play with their mobile phones.

Open Pipi Pig short video and prepare to watch a few funny jokes to relax. But just after opening the software, the first short video was: "Please pay attention to all citizens, please pay attention to all citizens! Zombies have exploded around the world, and they are not afraid of swords and guns..."

"His grandma, damn advertisements are overwhelming? Labor and capital will never drink delicious food again. I want to protest!"

Several videos have been falling in succession, but they are slid around. All the video content is this advertisement, and Zheng Fan began to feel something was wrong.

"There was no likes in all the videos, not even a single comment? Could it be that many peasants dare not reply to this sensitive topic that can cause panic?"

"No, this does not fit the character of a friend of mine. I'll complain about it."

Zheng Fan clicked on the comment window and was about to comment, but found that he couldn't click on it anyway.

"Broken phone! It's stuck again, I'll change you sooner or later."

After going to the bathroom and washing his hands, Zheng Fan drove his small three-wheeler to deliver the express delivery.

The strange advertisement was all the way in my mind.

"There is definitely anomaly. With my understanding of the Pipizhu platform, it is impossible for this kind of sensitive advertisement to pass the review. Moreover, not only Pipizhu, no app dares to let such videos be released, even if it is a joke."

"Everything is this advertisement, including when the office is playing TV, this advertisement also pops up, and the playback is probably not just a simple advertisement."

Zheng Fan thought about it and made up his mind to buy some water and food for later use.

He is a relatively cautious person. Three years ago, I don’t know which bastard spread the rumor that the price of salt would soar in the future. After hearing this, Zheng Fan went to buy 100 kilograms of salt and put it at home.

Although he was cheated in the end, there were no normal people using so much salt with a hundred kilograms? But Zheng Fan did not regret it at all, because what if the rumors were true?

When he arrived at the door of a convenience store, Zheng Fan stopped the car.

"Boss, come two boxes of mineral water, and give me two boxes of Master Li instant noodles."

Zheng Fan took out his wallet, took out a hundred yuan and put it on the table of the convenience store owner.

"Okay, two boxes of mineral water and two boxes of instant noodles, a total of five hundred yuan."

Zheng Fan was a little confused and smiled and said, "The boss is crazy about money? This thing is 500 yuan, why don't you grab it?"

The boss snorted, took out his cell phone, and played a video for Zheng Fan to show.

It was that delicious and ridiculous ‘advertisement’.

"Did you see it? Five hundred yuan is already cheaper. In two days, you probably won't be able to buy these things even if you have money."

Zheng Fan was speechless, but he didn't want to argue anything. He ignored the boss and turned around and drove the small three-wheeler to a regular supermarket.

After queuing for more than half an hour, I successfully bought three boxes of mineral water, three boxes of instant noodles, plus some snacks, and they were all purchased at normal prices.

He wanted to buy more, but unfortunately his little three-wheeled wheel couldn't hold too much.

He quickly drove the car home and fought the food to the fifth floor.

He rented an old building with no elevator. There was a mud wall about four meters high in front of the building. Three old buildings were connected together and were set up by this mud wall. It was no different from a small alley. It could barely pass two tricycles side by side. The only advantage was that the rent was cheap.

After the food was moved, he did not hesitate and moved the express parcels in the car into his rental house.

"These express delivery will be delivered tomorrow. According to normal performance, it is no big deal to delay for a day. At most, it is harder tomorrow. You have to buy as much food and water as possible today."

Mobile phones, office computers, and small supermarket owners all saw the "advertisement". Zheng Fan believed that perhaps people all over the world had also seen this advertisement at this moment.

Even if there are rumors, there will always be people who believe it. If it is a little later, there may be no food in major supermarkets.

Sure enough, in the large supermarkets, there were already long queues of people buying things, while some small supermarkets were extremely expensive, and some small shops directly closed their doors and refused to sell any goods.

Compressed biscuits, beef jerky, various instant noodles and snacks filled Zheng Fan's car.

After moving the food into the house again, he lay on the bed and let out a long breath.

"Spend more than a thousand dollars, let's do it first. Only earning three or four thousand a month is hard-earned money. It's impossible to buy food with all your belongings. If it's another rumor, the loss will be huge."

Although he still had many doubts, he subconsciously believed that this was a rumor. Buying these foods was just prepared for any trouble.

"Anyway, these foods have packaging bags, and the shelf life is still long. Even if it is a rumor, it will not be a waste to eat them slowly in the future."

"By the way, if something big happens, I have to remind Zhang Miao to let him stock up on some food."

Zheng Fan is an orphan. He grew up in an orphanage and Zhang Miao is his only good friend.

After finishing junior high school, Zheng Fan went out to work because of his poor grades and did not even go to high school.

His good friend Zhang Miao was very successful and was admitted to a good university.

Zheng Fan has changed many jobs over the years, but it has not been smooth sailing until he became a courier.

His dream is to save some money, join a express delivery site, and be a small boss.

"Hmm? I can't get through, are you in arrears?"

Zheng Fan was a little puzzled: "I just paid 200 yuan in phone bill a few days ago, and I needed to make a lot of calls to deliver the express delivery. I specially processed the exclusive package, and there is no reason to arrears."

"Call the customer service."

Zheng Fan called the customer service phone number of the "Moving" company. Five minutes passed, but there was still no sound on the phone. Even if you were in arrears, you would also hear a prompt sound from the phone: Your balance is insufficient.

"The network cannot be connected, is it disconnected?"

After looking at the time, it was already seven o'clock in the evening and it was getting dark, but Zheng Fan had to go out. He felt that there was something wrong with his phone. If he didn't fix the phone today, how would he deliver the express delivery tomorrow?

Just as I was about to go out, a knock came from the door.

"Dong, dun, dun..."
