Billy woke up.
There was darkness before my eyes.
His first reaction was not fear, but a little curiosity.
Where here?
He felt as if he was lying on the ground, turned over and sat up, and blinked blankly.
The darkness is like thick fog, and there are some weird shadows in the trance.
He was still curious.
Why?
He reached out and groped around, and soon he touched a metal cylinder. An idea suddenly appeared in his mind, this is a flashlight.
Billy was even more curious, why did I know about this flashlight?
But his hand was out of control and he pressed the switch on the flashlight naturally.
A loose beam of light was projected out and disappeared into the distance.
He looked to the side again and saw a stone road with a shadow at the end, which looked like something.
really weird.
Billy got up and walked along the stone road.
He really wanted to try walking into the darkness on both sides, but there was an idea in his mind that told him that if he fell off the cliffs on both sides, he would die.
really weird.
Why do I know that I will die if I fall off a cliff?
The stone road was not long, and Billy walked to a platform, which was not very large and had some things piled on the ground.
He thought for a moment, turned around and walked back.
After passing the place where I was lying just now, I walked to a door.
The door was closed tightly and could not be pushed or pulled open because there was no door handle.
So, Billy walked back to the platform again, found something flat and sat on it.
He stared blankly into the darkness.
How strange.
I do not know how long it has been.
In short, the flashlight has run out of power for a long time.
Billy suddenly heard a man ask "What are you doing?"
He blinked and said, "I don't know, I seem to be waiting for someone."
"Why?"
"I don't know, I guess so."
"oh."
"And you?"
"I lost my memory, ho ho, I forgot who I was and why I was here," the voice sighed.
"Then you're quite pitiful," Billy smiled.
That voice was full of sorrow: "Yeah, so I feel that living is meaningless, and I am ready to jump from here."
"You're right," Billy stood up, "you should jump."
Sudden.
Another voice said, "Idiot, coward, you should look for anything valuable here, maybe you can escape from here!"
"Ah, he said he was right," Billy frowned, "How can you know if you don't try?"
The first voice spoke no more.
Billy shrugged, squatted down and began to explore bit by bit.
Without a flashlight, the groping process was very slow, but he was not too worried.
Just curious.
How strange.
One day after an hour? Billy touched something like a switch and pressed it.
call.
The spotlight in front of me was on, and the bright beam of light was shining straight on a stone tablet with something carved on it.
Billy looked around.
The second voice said with a proud smile, "Look, what did I say? Look, there are spotlights and boxes. Look, there is water and food in the box. Come on, I also saw a tablet computer, come on!"
The first voice was no longer depressed and shouted "Quickly!"
However, Billy was a little uninterested.
He is neither thirsty nor hungry.
I am even less interested in tablet computers.
He was just curious, why did he feel like he was waiting for someone?
How strange.
Billy turned on all the spotlights in turn, fourteen in total, and counted the contents of the box, including ninety-eight 15-liter bottles of Wahaha mineral water, one hundred and twenty-three packs of compressed biscuits, and ninety-one bottles of multivitamin tablets. , a tablet computer, a pair of Go, a pair of cards, a pair of mahjong, and a roll of toilet paper.
Oh, there is also a flashlight that is out of battery.
What are these for?
Billy shook his head.
The second voice encouraged, "At least you can survive first, and you will always find a way."
The first voice said dejectedly, "Without weapons and tools, you will die sooner or later."
Billy shrugged.
Anyway, it has nothing to do with him. He just wants to know, if he is waiting for someone, who is that person?
At this time, another voice came out.
The third voice sounded very wise, "Hoho, idiots, there is a cell here, look at those stone tablets, the key is on the stone tablets."
Billy looked up at the stone monument.
Soon, a third voice said excitedly, "Look, the first stone tablet is right here. Billy just woke up, and it's right here."
"What does this mean?" The second voice was equally excited, "Quickly analyze it."
"It's not clear yet, we need to study it." said a third voice.
The first voice said dejectedly, "It's you, not us."
"No, no, we," the third voice laughed, "we..."
Above the dark and dead abyss, Billy's shoulders shook and he laughed.
But he still felt it.
How strange.
——————————
January 1, 2100.
Billy sat in front of the table. The table was actually just a few boxes piled up.
There is mahjong on it.
Courage said, "Glasses."
Brother Sang snorted, "Put on your glasses."
The Analyst Emperor was angry, "Who asked you to touch Erbing?"
"Then I have two and I have to split up," Brother Sang said lazily.
Billy smiled and said, "I'm crazy."
"Fuck," the three of them shouted angrily, "shuffle the cards."
Billy pushed down the mahjong on the table, turned around and asked, "How about you play for a while?"
"No, I want to read a book."
"Hey," Billy was helpless. This nerd who appeared as a guy two years ago had been reading a book while holding a tablet computer.
The nerd is very knowledgeable and knows a lot. He can even charge the tablet by changing the circuit of the spotlight. He also made a simple heating device to let everyone drink compressed biscuit paste.
The reason why the nerd charges the tablet is because there are tens of thousands of books of all kinds on it, and Billy also agrees with this decision, because some books are very special, although the description is that there are often only two people in the scene, sometimes three, or four, But there are many interjections in it, which makes people very happy to read.
However, the nerd hasn't figured out a way to escape from here yet. He said that the elevator on the other side of the stone road is made of some special metal and is very strong.
In addition, the structure of this space is obviously unreasonable. There is an abyss surrounding the platform. It is not wise to go down hastily.
In short, this is a prison cell from which there is no escape.
really weird.
Billy held the tablet in one hand, coded the mahjong again with the other, and played a card "East Wind."
Although ten years have passed since I woke up.
But Billy was still curious.
He rarely feels thirsty or hungry, and has never been sick. The nerds said that he may have been modified in some genes, such as telomeres, but Billy is not curious about these. He is only curious about what he is. Who are you waiting for?

July 1, 2150.
earthquake.
Billy sat there, feeling everything around him shaking.
"It's not like an earthquake," the nerd said seriously, "it's like a violent explosion, a nuclear explosion."
Courage said excitedly, "So there's a war going on outside?"
The Analyst Emperor shouted, "Quick, analyze, isn't this an opportunity?"
Brother Sang said dejectedly, "Why don't you die if you go out? At least you can still live here."
Billy stood up slowly, walked to the elevator door, and put his hand on it.
The elevator door is scalding hot, like red-hot iron.
A nuclear explosion...
Sudden.
Buzz——
The elevator started.
——————————
August 7, 2250.
"Kill him, Kim!"
"kill him!"
"East Side! East Side! East Side!"
Countless people roared, and the mountains roared and the tsunami roared.
Jin stood on the high platform, raised his arm with a smile, pointed the gun in his hand at a head, and then pulled the trigger.
boom!
"gold Gold Gold!"
The crowd cheered them as leaders.
After the nuclear war, it was a dark age. Being able to join a gang like the East Side Gang and follow Kim as the boss was undoubtedly a blessing, which meant that you could eat a can and drink a full 30 liters of water every day.
That guy who dared to go to the East District Gang's territory to steal water deserved to die!
Jin waved his hands to his supporters, turned around and walked off the platform.
In the darkness, he turned to look at the empty space and said angrily, "Shut up, nerd, I represent us now. I don't give a damn about people's inhumanity. I will kill anyone who dares to come and cause trouble on my territory!"
The nerd said calmly, "A virus of violence is destroying mankind."
"Jin, you madman!" The Analyst Emperor said gloomily, "You are cruel and can only last for a while. Also, you keep deducting water and food from rations. Do your brothers obey you? Don't you analyze?"
"Stop arguing," Brother Sang wailed, "What's the point of living in this world? Billy, Billy, you decide."
Everyone fell silent and waited quietly for Billy to make a decision.
Billy turned his head blankly and saw a little girl in ragged clothes squatting on the spot, staring at him with wide eyes, as if she was seeing a madman.
He smiled.
Escaped from that dark cell and encountered such an era head-on.
Such a dark and despairing end of the world.
They want to live.
So, Billy slowly pulled out the gun from his waist and walked up to the girl who was shaking like chaff.
"Kill her," Jin said in a low voice, "She saw our secret."
Billy slowly squatted down and asked seriously, "What's your name?"
"My name is Mata Hari, Mr. Jin," the girl said with tears streaming down her face, but she spoke clearly.
"Marta, I'm waiting for someone, do you know who he is?" Billy said gently.
Marta raised her face, stared at the trembling eyes in the darkness, and said in a daze, "Are you his relative?"
"I don't know, maybe an enemy?"
"I wish you could wait for that person," Marta trembled.
"What if I can't wait?"
"It will definitely be," Marta nodded seriously. "Mom said, fate is like a ball of thread dropped on the ground. It looks messy, but in fact it is just a thread. It has a beginning and an end. Mr. Jin, as long as you If you keep waiting, you will definitely be able to wait for that person."
Billy nodded, "You're right, Marta, thank you. Where is your mother?"
"I'm starving, Mr. King," Marta cried. "I don't see anything. I just need a little food, please."
Billy touched Marta's head.
——————————
June 12, 2290.
There is no more exciting career in this world than building a canopy!
The great Xi'an will make human civilization rise again!
Thanks Xian!
A loudspeaker continued to preach these slogans, deafening.
The whole city of Zhongjing was crowded with factories, with chimneys standing tall and black smoke billowing.
In mid-air, countless airships were flowing. The sky had not yet been sealed, and the air was still filled with dust. However, everyone had smiles on their faces.
In front of a steel mill, Wang Yuan looked up at the sky and said softly, "I still can't find information about Xi'an's organizational structure. How could it be so well hidden? What do they want to do?"
The nerd said seriously, "I feel that Xi'an is very ambitious and is not satisfied with the status quo. They want to achieve true unification."
"How is that possible?" Jin sneered, "Do you think everyone is a softie?"
"Actually it's very simple," the nerd laughed. "While fighting, giving sweet spots while remaining mysterious, advocating a new god, so that these fools believe that Xi'an is sent by heaven to save them."
"Then we might as well find a way to go to the upper city area," the Analyst Emperor said. "I've always said that we have to develop upstream. We always hang out at the bottom. If we can investigate, we will die accidentally one day. You have forgotten That time?"
"Uptown?" Brother Sang shouted, "The nerds said that we can't avoid uptown because of biometric identification, are you stupid? We are on a mission to survive, not to be in the limelight!"
"What the hell are you going to do with your life?" Jin said angrily, "You coward, what are you going to do with your life? Wait until that person doesn't even exist and is a human being?"
Everyone was silent.
After a while, someone asked, "Where's Billy?"
I don't know who answered "Asleep..."
At this time.
A woman's voice said "Hello" from behind.
Wang Yuan turned around and said with a smile, "Hello, my Wang Yuan."
"My Mata Hari," the woman said, mature and capable, with sharp eyes, "from today on, young man, you are messing with me."
"Teacher," Wang Yuan stepped forward solemnly and held Marta's hand.
A few minutes later.
Wang Yuan looked at Marta's back with an expressionless face.
Jin snorted and smiled, "We should really let Billy see how good Marta is. Who is that nerd? How long has Billy been sleeping? Why isn't he awake yet?"
Suddenly, a vicissitudes of voice sounded, "Well, I remember this scene. I've seen it. Where did it come from?"
"Billy," the nerd said slowly, "on the stone tablet, the second one."
"Ah, that's it," Billy didn't seem to be excited, he just said slowly, "The second piece, who can tell me how long I have to wait?"
——————————
Gradually, Billy rarely woke up.
He asked the nerd to wake him up when the scene on the stele appeared.
certainly.
On two occasions he did not hear them shouting at all and could only hear them repeated after the fact.
This lively atmosphere is due to the fact that there are many new faces in the big family, even Billy doesn't know them.
When they introduced themselves one by one, Billy always felt very friendly.
at the same time.
He felt bored again.
The nerd said that all of them are separate personalities from him, but he doesn't think so. Instead, he feels that the existence of all of them is "Billy", which is not really important.
Time passes and is gone forever.
Billy doesn't care what's going on in the world.
He just wants to wait for that person.
——————————
"Hey, Billy, wake up." The nerd said softly.
"Wake up, Billy, the bus has arrived," Brother Sang laughed.
"Billy, Billy, we're here, right now!" Director Zhang shouted.
"Mr. Billy, your redemption day has arrived." Whisper sighed.
Countless people shouted for Billy.
Billy opened his eyes and saw a bright and brilliant banquet hall in front of him.
Everyone was well dressed in suits, coming from both sides, and everyone had a sincere smile on their face.
"Well done, Billy."
"Billy, good luck to you."
"Happy Redemption Day!"
Billy smiled, raised the wine glass in his hand, walked through the crowd, clinked glasses with familiar or unfamiliar people, hugged and said goodbye.
Then, he stood alone in front of a door and straightened his tie a little.
He actually waited for that person.
Destiny is so strange.
Then Billy smiled and gently pushed the door open.
——————————
Old Billy knelt down with difficulty, his shoulders shook, he made a hoho sound, and his expression was smiling.
But Li Liang knew that Old Billy was crying. Unfortunately, Old Billy was too old to shed tears.
Someone shaped Billy's life, so cruelly.
Li Liang sighed silently, walked to Old Billy, and stretched out his hands to help him up.
However, it was an instant when he touched the old man's shoulder.
The group trembled violently and turned into Director Zhang for a moment.
"What's wrong with old Billy?" Li Liang asked in confusion.
Director Zhang smiled, "Old Billy has been saved. He is very happy. He has never been so happy."
