E.Touch and see

...

Reference answer: D

...

You threw away the strange fantasies in your head, then rolled down from the bed, rubbed your wet face, and barked at the giraffe's head on Sunday, which stared at the deep and charming eyes, with long clear eyelashes, facing your eyes.

This scene is so weird.

But giraffes are really charming creatures. They are the second largest body on the earth and are the most docile herbivore; their bodies have yellowish-brown spots, fine hair, and the shape of the spots also looks mysterious, giving people an elegant and quiet temperament. After staring at it for a long time, you can't help but find that humans look so ugly. Are humans and giraffes really the same creature created by God? Could it be that God carefully created the giraffe and said, "This thing is so perfect, but it's too difficult to get one out. The share this month has not met the standard, so just pinch a few humans to make up the numbers?"

This is not what you should think of at this moment. You took out your phone, but your mind was still a little confused because you woke up. You opened Baidu Encyclopedia and subconsciously typed "Can a giraffe be eaten?" After a while, you found that the Internet was disconnected.

You instinctively summarize the current situation:

1. What should come will always come, and the Internet in Gangzhou City has finally been completely cut off.

2. Eating giraffes is illegal.

You slapped yourself.

“Now is not the time to think about this…”

Yes, it’s not the time to think about this, even though you’ve been eating jerky bacon for two months, you completely forgot what fresh meat tastes. You hurriedly washed your face, dressed neatly, carried your equipment and went upstairs on Sunday.

Why is there a fucking giraffe on the street! This is the first question you need to figure out.

You came to the roof. The residential buildings in these old towns are only four or five meters high, and the giraffe is slightly taller. It stretches its neck and looks at you curiously from outside the railing. You quickly looked around the nearby streets, and was already full of doubts. For a moment, you couldn't figure out whether you had traveled through time.

How did this neighborhood become an animal world overnight?

Just a brief look, you will see three giraffes, an elephant, and even a herd of argali in herds in the middle of the intersection in the distance, with a few zebras on the zebra crossing next to it...

Aren’t these African animals? Kangzhou City is an Asian city…

For a moment, lightning and thunder were roaring in your heart, and you vaguely figured out what was going on, and turned to look to the southwest.

There, three or four kilometers away, is the tourist destination of Gangzhou City: Changlong Wildlife World.

These are animals that run out of the zoo. You are sure of this.

The question is, how did they come out?

The deeper question is, what else is there except these African herbivores that have come out?

You know, there are not only the zoo that looks like a likable little raccoon, the silly Mengge who loves to drill holes, the groundhog who can call "ahhhh", and there are also a large number of lions, tigers, wolves, and giant pythons that are more than ten meters long...

If all the animals in the zoo run out, the ecological chain that was originally gradually stabilizing in the entire Hongzhou City will be turned upside down overnight.

What's more, if these animals did not run out of the zoo themselves, but were released by man, then the situation would be completely different...

You need to be very eager to understand the situation.

So you and Sunday got off the stairs, got on the car, walked around the giraffe, honked their horns at the intersection and drove away the zebras on the zebra crossing, and drove all the way into the zoo.

The main entrance of the zoo is a rotating gate, which cannot be passed by large animals. The animals definitely did not leave here. You turn over the gate and look while walking and looking, and find that many animals are still living in the garden. Swans and pelicans slowly swim on the lake. From time to time, carp jump out of the water. Occasionally, you can see three or two seagulls everywhere. There are vitality everywhere - this lake area has formed a stable ecosystem, and birds are naturally unwilling to leave. But other places are different - non-sealed visiting areas such as Monkey Mountain, Xiangshan Mountain, and Tiger Mountain, all the animals are gone. But when you walk forward, your heart sank: the sidewalk in front of you is covered with blood from animals.

In the past, these open areas would only have a simple power grid on the inside, and all the animals left, which probably means that the zoo's power grid has been disconnected.

Because you are not familiar with the environment here, it took a long time to find the monitoring room. When you pull the main gate in the monitoring room, you see rows of computer screens rebooting, and you are a little calmer - fortunately, this place is just temporarily tripped, and there is a backup circuit, otherwise it will become very troublesome to retrieve the monitoring here.

You operate the computer and play the surveillance backwards. Back a day ago, you finally figured out the causes and consequences.

The reason why these animals were able to escape was simply because the zoo power grid jumped, and they were hungry for a long time. The instinct of survival made them leave here to find food. The carnivore had a sensitive sense of smell and soon found an open self-driving park, killing herbivores at will. In a panic, an elephant directly knocked open the gate of the entrance and exit of the park's border trucks...

This is not artificial.

You sighed, and the mood was mixed. You said to yourself in your heart: It's too ridiculous to want to see humans in surveillance.

Then, an idea suddenly appeared in your mind. This idea made your spine cool and your arms instantly exploded with goose bumps.

You jumped to the computer like crazy, constantly sliding the historical monitoring records, and your lips trembled.

"How could I not have thought of it...How could I not have thought of it..."

You are forced to survive by the end of the world, from panic to going with the flow, you have experienced thinking about countless things, but you have been confined to the problems in front of you and ignored the original intention of your survival. If you could have this idea earlier, everything would have been different...

Yes. Humans disappeared around 5 a.m. on July 31. This is the only information you can control, and this information itself is the key to making you understand everything.

monitor.

The city of Gangzhou is full of countless surveillance cameras.

Monitoring does not require human operation. They will record everything that happens in real time. Even if humans disappear, they will archive, record, and record everything they see step by step.

There must be an answer to the disappearance of humans in the surveillance.

You retrieve the surveillance cameras all the way and turn it back to 5 a.m. on July 31. Among all the surveillance cameras in the zoo, only one of them captured the existence of humans.

It was a security guard sitting in the back door of the zoo.

You stared at the surveillance monitor and pressed fast forward. The security guard at the double speed did not change much. From five o'clock, the man kept looking at his phone.

When the time comes to 5:20, you double the playback speed and your whole body is trembling. The surveillance monitor shows an ordinary early morning: the sky is dark, the morning mist is gradually rising, and the rising sun is shining with a thin gray. The security guard in the duty booth put down his phone, rubbed his eyes, walked out of the pavilion, and began to do stretching exercises.
