Chapter 7 Whale Fall

A whale falls and all things are born.

When a whale dies in the ocean, its corpse will eventually sink to the bottom of the sea. During the process of the whale corpse sinking, 90% of the soft tissue will be eaten and decomposed by other marine organisms. Then, polychaetes and crustaceans will use whale bones as a new habitat. They live in whale bones and also eat whale bones to survive.

Then, specific bacterial species will also benefit: chemical energy-eutrophied bacteria, such as sulfide bacteria, can obtain nutrients from hydrogen sulfide obtained after the reaction of whale bones and seawater. When the organic matter in the residual whale falls is digested, the remains of whale bones will be used as reefs and eventually become a settlement for organisms.

This process is not romantic. But it is undoubtedly a grand death. A huge life disappears, and countless microscopic life is born. This is one of the most intuitive ways to observe the ecological cycle of the earth.

Gangzhou City is a more macro and grander whale falling.

The human beings who have lost their cell operation have died silently. However, death is just the beginning and will become part of the earth's ecological cycle. Countless ghosts and monsters rely on their bodies and are born in their blood.

You already know that you can have countless ways to die.

I also believe you are ready to die.

But it's nothing difficult to just die.

——Are you ready to live?

——Do you know how to live?

Join them and forget that you were once a human.

Become a member of the ghosts and monsters.

Gnaw the carrion of this city, suck the bone marrow of this city, breathe at all costs, and live desperately.

Zhang Sirui—

When you open your eyes, the pure darkness comes into your eyes.

Your body is filled with cold and wet signals.

You can't move.

"Is this the Yellow Spring?" You thought so. Death is not as terrifying as you thought, nor so romantic. There is no flowers on the other side of the Wangchuan River on the Naihe Bridge, no old woman selling soup at the bridge, nor the eighteen layers of hell and the King of Hell who looks like Xu Jinjiang.

It was not until a while that you realized that you were not dead. A pair of green spots of light lingered in front of your eyes, and you remembered that it was a firefly.

You can still see things. Your eyesight is still there. The reason why you can only see darkness is because there is no light.

Thinking of this, you start to work hard to restore your consciousness, from your fingertips, to your fingers, to your wrists, and arms...

You turned over and looked up to the sky hard.

Your sigh comes from the darkness.

Zhang Sirui, the last [dessert] is the moon.

Earlier, you never dared to open the curtains at night, because since humans disappeared, the night in Hong Kong City was so dark.

Now you finally understand that everything has a reason.

Because the moon disappeared.

The moon, like humans, disappeared quietly at some point.

You should have known all this long ago, but you just don’t have the courage to think about it and face it. After all, at this moment, the bloody countdown is still reflected in your retina. Even such a thing has come out, and it is not necessarily a rare thing to explode with stars and moons.

You spent some time to adapt your eyes to the light around you—yes, even if the moon disappears, there is light on the earth’s night, it comes from more distant stars, as well as the Milky Way and Aurora. Essentially, like the moon, they are all the light emitted by stars. The moon is just a closer star.

What changes will happen to the earth after the moon disappears? First of all, if the sea water loses the moon's gravity, it will produce huge waves. Coastal cities may have collapsed. There may be a reason for the continuous heavy rainstorms in the past few days in Gangzhou. Then...

You have no time to think about it, you have something more important. Searching the memories in your mind, you judge that you should have jumped into the Pearl River with Sunday, and then being swept downstream by the river. When you hit the water, you were already unconscious. Did you rescued by Sunday? After all, you spent a long time teaching it to swim... What about Sunday?

You took out your pockets - your phone was still there, it was just wet, but Apple is cutting-edge technology after all, it is waterproof and can be used normally. You turned on the flashlight of your phone and looked around, and soon found a coma Sunday on the other end.

Sunday is also wet, cold all over, and you are as angry as a slept. When you call it, you can't get a response, so be careful to hold it up.

There is no need to go home. I can’t get the diesel, and the most urgent thing is to save next Sunday.

It has been a miracle that it has fought with a wild dog that is larger than itself for a long time, and it is a serious injury. It is a miracle that it is not a problem to die directly without excessive blood loss. What is even more worrying is that you don’t know if those wild dogs have rabies.

Without the rabies vaccine, the mortality rate of being bitten by a mad dog is 100%.

You don't even know if you have been vaccinated with rabies, and you know nothing about your first half of your life. At the moment, you can only do your best and leave your fate.

You carry Sunday to the shore. Your top priority is to change yourself into clean clothes and find a pet hospital to treat Sunday's wounds. If there are iodine, alcohol, etc., you can also briefly bandage yourself, and you will suffer a lot of injuries.

You found a "unmanned vehicle" nearby and drove Sunday with high beams. Clothing stores can be seen everywhere, and the problem of wet clothes is solved. You also used new clothes you didn't want to wear to help you dry your hair on Sunday. When you carried Sunday to the pet store according to the navigation, you discovered the real problem.

You do not have any professional knowledge related to pet care and treatment. You cannot determine your physical condition at this time on Sunday. Is it rabies or has a cold or a fever? How should you prescribe the right medicine? You don’t know anything about this.

You regret your lack of knowledge. But you still have a chance to make up for it: the Internet has not been disconnected, and you can still search online for ways to treat pets.

You can't find professional and reliable knowledge on the Internet, so you have to fumble around in pet stores half-guessing and half-guessing, giving Sunday a fever-reducing injection and suspected rabies vaccine. The power grid in Yunbai District can still operate. You wrap a blanket on Sunday, put it in a cage, and observe its breathing.

You will sleep all night this night and force you to drink water on Sundays every once in a while. This is the knowledge learned online. You are afraid of leaving you on Sundays. This is the only thing in the world that has a bond with you.

You spend all night reflecting on your mistakes. Until one moment, you suddenly realize. Since the disappearance of mankind, you have been living a corrupt and absurd life. You think that mankind leaves you with endless ways of food and entertainment, but you never think deeply.

The most precious legacy left by mankind is wisdom.

It's science.

What is science? Science is the truth of absolute rationality. It is an infinite process from discovering problems, then making assumptions, and then to drawing conclusions. What human beings leave you is the way of survival summarized through hundreds of thousands of years. They exist in the Internet and libraries in the form of books and knowledge. But you are indulging in the joy of the online representation and forget the essence of human existence to this day.

How does humans exist? Compared with dinosaurs, humans do not have brute force over other creatures; compared with lions and tigers, humans do not have sharp claws and terrifying biting power; compared with apes, humans do not have flexible sense of balance and swing skills. However, humans have survived with their weak bodies to this day, and have created a new civilization that has turned the world's history. What humans rely on is never power, but thinking and wisdom.

You never realized this. You are just enjoying the fish left over from humans, but you have never thought about learning how to fish.

You are human. Zhang Sirui. You should survive in the way of a human. In order to survive, you can be like a complete beast, or you can think of a computer that carefully calculates everything. This is the essence of human beings. You suddenly remembered a sentence Bruce Lee said:

“be    water, my    friend.(Like water, my friend)”

When water enters the jar, it is the shape of the jar, when water enters the jar, it is the shape of the jar, and when water drops into the sea, it is the sea itself.

Adapting to all environments and relying on wisdom to overcome all environments - this is the way for human beings to survive.

Even if you are the last human in the world, you are still human.
