Chapter 1 Adolescence

"Wow, is it so rich today?"

The sister's screaming interrupted Xia Yi's thoughts.

He looked at the dining table, which was placed on it with a small plate of fried meat, a plate of fried vegetables, and a bowl of tomato and egg soup.

"Today is the day to get supplies." Xia Yi explained.

"Of course I know! Today is the time to play a normal video, how could I forget it! I am just a routine to be amazed!" Xia Xiaoxiao was afraid of being misunderstood and explained in a hurry.

"I'm the usual answer, too." Xia Yi sighed. This sister was particularly sensitive.

"Even meat can't block your mouth!" Xia's mother inserted forcefully, suppressing Xia Xiaoxiao, "Hurry up and eat!"

Father Xia looked at him happily.

A small plate of fried meat mostly penetrated the siblings' stomachs. Even if they were humble, their parents would not use chopsticks too much.

After eating, Xia Xiaoxiao sat on the sofa and touched her stomach nostalgically: "The meat is so delicious."

"You disliked you when I had to eat it, but now I don't have to eat it, it's precious." Xia's mother mocked her daughter.

"Brother, did you really eat meat ten years ago?" Xia Xiaoxiao licked her lips and looked at Xia Yi with a confirmation gaze.

"There is meat every day, and you can eat it until you vomit." Xia Yi cleaned up the dining table and handed the dishes to his mother to clean it.

“Where is the ice cream?”

"I remember one time you ate five pounds in a row and had diarrhea at night."

"That's great." Xia Xiaoxiao showed longing on her face.

Her voice was soft and the ending was long, and Xia Yi couldn't help but fall into memories.

Ten years ago, this planet had a mutant change, and humans had to abandon a large amount of land and enter a city surrounded by high walls to live. There were shortage of materials, communication partitions, and strange diseases.

"Let's watch TV! It's rare to play normal movies." Xia Xiaoxiao quickly forgot about the meat, and she waved to Xia Yi.

After the communication is separated, each city can only use the internal LAN and cannot communicate remotely. The TV only has three channels in the city.

For some reason, these three channels are broadcasting thrillers and criminal investigation films for 365 days a year, with 362 days exceptions, including New Year's Eve and the first day of the New Year, and today.

Xia Yi thought of the message and said, "You can read it yourself."

He returned to the room and looked at the mobile phone screen. In the class group, the message had been withdrawn, but Xia Yi's memory was still very clear.

Just now, the head teacher @ the whole class and typed: "You must calm down at night."

Because of the playback of romance films today, it also has the actual effect of Valentine's Day. The students in the group thought that the class teacher would talk about this and joked.

Xia Yi doesn't think so.

The head teacher is a scheming, serious and responsible person and will not make such jokes.

So, why would the head teacher say this?

Why isn’t this day of any festival? Just like the Spring Festival, you can see other programs besides horror and criminal investigation films?

Why is it special today?

Long-standing doubts emerge again.

He looked at his parents, his mother was washing dishes, and he looked happy. His father was packing his backpack and humming a small song. If his parents knew something, they would definitely tell him.

"Teacher, what's the matter of calming down at night you just said?" He talked to the head teacher privately, but the head teacher didn't reply for a long time.

"Is it about youth disease?" Xia Yi asked again.

Youth disease, without scientific name, is only a synonym, which is a disease that occurs and breaks out after humans hide in high walls. It is generally affected by young people around the age of 20. The sick person will suddenly lose the ability to move and die within a few days, and is not contagious.

The prevalence of puberty is 30%, and the mortality rate is 100%. In order to maintain the population, the city stipulates that spouse must be found immediately after the age of 18 to get married, otherwise it will be distributed forcibly.

Xia Yi is 18 years old this year. According to the information on the surface, he is still two years away from the test of youth disease.

But is teenage disease really a 20-year-old?

If a person is told that his life is not long, then that person has a high possibility of committing a crime and going back to indulge, so concealing is a necessary act.

Xia Yi's thinking diverges and bold assumptions.

Youth disease, who is ill at the age of 18, occurs two years after the disease occurs, and will become paralyzed after the disease occurs. Ask a question, when is the right time to tell the patient?

Of course, after he became paralyzed at the age of 20, this would solve the possibility of their disruption to society.

The reason why Xia Yi assumed that teenager disease was at the age of eighteen was because the only necessary physical examination in the life of a residents was tomorrow's senior high school physical examination.

Why is it set for tomorrow's day every year?

Because the timing of illness is today, this particular day? Just tonight?

His speculation forced several "coincidences" to be linked to, perhaps it was his conspiracy theory.

Hope so.

The head teacher still did not reply, nor did he bubbling in the group.

Putting away his phone, Xia Yi searched for information in front of the computer, but there was no clue on the Internet. He tried to find information about other cities, but he couldn't find it.

Human society has become an isolated island. Perhaps the upper class has a way to contact other cities, but ordinary people can only communicate in the local area network of this city.

At dinner, Xia’s father took back the ration supplies, Xia’s mother made wontons, and the family enjoyed the hard-earned meat.

After dinner, Xia Yi returned to the room. He closed the doors and windows, locked them, turned on the lights, and waited quietly.

In late autumn, the night is a bit cold, and Xia Yi sat under a quilt, afraid of lying down and falling asleep accidentally.

Is there something really going to happen tonight?

According to Xia Yi's scientific knowledge, he should have met the isolation conditions. How could the virus come to him?

Maybe it's not a virus? Or it's not science at all?

He thought of the high walls of the city. What exactly happened outside the high wall?

The full moon shines in the sky, and the light is deserted and uneasy. The city is full of electricity, and the windows of every household are shining brightly. The light brings popularity and is comfortable.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Xia Yi stared at his phone.

11:58…11:59…0:00!
