Chapter 1 day 1
Keep calm and carry on.
My fingers trembled and wrote this sentence in English on the cowhide letter paper. This was a very difficult job, because I was extremely tired at this moment, and the warm blood flowed down my forehead. I thought it was sweat, but when I wiped it off, my sleeves were covered with blood stains of rust. But I didn't think this scene was terrifying, but I suddenly remembered the origin of this sentence in English.
In 1939, World War II broke out. Under the surging German offensive, the British Royal Government was mentally prepared to be captured early. They printed propaganda posters full of "Keep calm and move forward" overnight, planning to boost the morale of the people after the ** occupied Britain. However, the defeat they expected did not happen, and Britain won a great victory in the air battle, and these posters were secretly destroyed. The idea of the British government's defeat before the battle was very ironic, which was enough to make people laugh out loud.
But I can't laugh.
At this moment, I was facing a more dangerous situation than the British Empire at that time. And I was the only one who could defeat all this.
I took a deep breath and lifted my pen to continue writing.
"Your name is Zhang Sirui. From July 31, 2231, you have everything about human civilization on the entire earth."
"If you want to indulge in enjoying all this and fight against all this, you can only rely on yourself and there will be no 'person' to help you..."
“…because, you are the last human on earth.”
"You are twenty-eight years old this year, graduated from Xiangjiang University, and then worked in art modeling engineering at Yunxun Company for five years. You have a 40-square-meter property at No. 12 Jianmin Road, Xiangjiang City, and the down payment was paid for you by your parents. You have a loved one named Rola... All this is no longer important. At 7:00 on July 31, 2231, you woke up from your home, went out as usual, and went to work. Since then, you have never seen a human again. Your name is Zhang Sirui, you are a human, and this is the only valuable information."
“You spent an extremely precious day to confirm that you are the only human being.
You ride a bicycle to the subway station, and after discovering that the subway is out of service, you will ride to the company. There are only a few cars on the road, and there are no people.
After realizing that the company has not joined, you still don’t want to believe the facts and call every contact person on your phone.
Every call was successfully dialed, and a busy voice was made in thirty seconds.
You stubbornly think that this was a major natural disaster in the entire city in the early hours of last night, so that everyone escaped from the city. You just slept too well and didn't hear the alarm. You were not alone, you were not abandoned.
So you made a very reckless decision.
You have to ride a 120-kilometer journey to the neighboring city of Gangzhou to find your parents, which is your hometown. You set off at 10 o'clock in the morning and didn't carry any food. Ten hours of travel are enough to make you exhausted on the road. In fact, after just two hours of riding, you are already staring at the sight and drink the only bottle of mineral water.
In despair, you came to the rest stop on the highway and ransacked the unattended KFC. You flipped into the kitchen, feasted with fried chicken baked into dried meat in the insulation cabinet, and drank unlimited coke in the cola machine. You didn't realize that it was the last time you had eaten KFC in your life.
You are a rare smart one. When you go downstairs, you find that all the cars parked in the rest station are not locked. In fact, all the cars that have suddenly stopped on the road are not locked. In the driver's seat and next to the steering wheel, there is always an untaken mobile phone. This means that all the people driving are evaporated without exception.
You stole the first Mazda in your life. After driving fifteen kilometers, you found an unprecedented car accident on the high-speed curve ahead. Countless cars driving at high speed were braked and turned, like out-of-control toy cars hitting the guardrail one by one, stacking together, you can even smell the pungent smell of gasoline explosion.
You got out of the car and walked, and after walking for two kilometers, you stole the second car, which was an Accord. After driving for thirty kilometers, the Accord was out of gas. You changed to the third car, which was a well-maintained Porsche light sports car, and you only drove this car for less than five minutes because you saw a Bentley on the road.
You are Zhang Sirui, the extrajudicial madman Zhang Sirui. In the human society where mankind has completely disappeared, the law is useless.
You are Robinson of the 22nd century. The only difference is that this time, the whole world is your island.
You arrived in Gangzhou City at 5 pm. Here, you ushered in the first night without humans. The street lights on the street did not turn on on time. At the time of sunset, the entire Gangzhou City was covered with a layer of blood. You stopped the car uneasy and grabbed a few bags of chicken wings on the co-pilot for the sake of Baowan. The chicken wings had already vaguely emitted the smell of food deterioration.
Only at this moment do you realize how stupid you have made.
You have missed the first golden opportunity to survive in the doomsday of human beings: On the first day when all human beings evaporate, all preparations are completed and unrefrigerated food will quickly rot in the tail of this midsummer, and you have not stored even a slight amount of food.
As night falls, the lights of this first-tier city will never appear again. You can turn on the high beams in the dark and return to the community where your parents live before it is completely dark.
As expected, you didn't find any trace of your parents. Apart from the phones left by the two old people on the sofa and bed, there were more than a dozen missed calls you made in the morning.
There are still traces of the elderly's life in the room. The electric kettle on the tea table is on, and the water has been heated repeatedly and burned clean. The new tea in the teapot has not yet been soaked. You know your father's quirk. He always has to get up before five o'clock, soak a pot of Longjing, drink two after drinking it, and drink two more when he comes back.
People disappear before the tea has started to be brewed.
Humans evaporated out of thin air between 5:00 and 5:30 on July 31, and this should be the case.
This is another useful message you've spent the whole day getting.
You felt an inexplicable fear climbing up your back. You wanted to shake it away, so you rushed out of the door and shouted hysterically.
‘Is there someone?’
You shouted like this. The sound echoed in the empty community for a few turns, alarming a few birds. Then what greeted you was countless cats and dogs in the night. These screams rose and fell one after another, and were extremely miserable, like a huge slaughterhouse. The recent barking of dogs was at the neighbor's door, and you realized that these were all pets locked in the house. Without humans, these cats and dogs did not even have the ability to open the door. In a few days, they would starve to death in the house.
You were as if you were possessed. You walked towards your neighbor's door, pulled out the fire extinguisher in the fire box next to you, and started to smash the door. Life is not a movie. It took you half an hour to smash the door open. A black and white marking, the six-month-old border herder threw you down and grinned at you. You were knocked on your forehead and looked dazed. At that moment, you realized that it was simply a fantasy to rescue all the pets in the community.
You took all the food and cans from your neighbor's house, and the border herder. The community is still filled with miserable barking of cats and dogs. You locked the doors and windows, hugged the puppy tightly, and turned a deaf ear to all this.
You jokingly named it Sunday. Because humans will not let humans go, Sunday is a rest day, so Monday will definitely come, and the community will never escape the arrival of Monday.
So it will definitely come tomorrow, you said with your puppy in your arms.
That night, you lost appetite. You fed the puppy canned food, flipped through your parents' house, and found a bottle of McAllen 18 Years whiskey treasured by your father. You used your mobile Taobao to find out the price of it has been hyped up to 8,000 yuan per bottle.
You wrote this letter before opening it.
You are Zhang Sirui, you have to survive. You have to find a way to survive and the meaning of living. You have to find something you love, and you have to fight against all the loneliness in this world.
Go love, or go to die. Zhang Sirui.
