On Saturday, August 13, 2200, a nuclear bomb dropped by a stealth bomber was not intercepted in time and the world exploded.
The mushroom cloud produced by the explosion almost reached the top of the atmosphere. People about 1,000 kilometers away from the launch point could clearly see the dazzling light produced at the moment of the explosion.
And this is just the beginning of the nightmare...
The people who survived later called this day "The Day of the Holocaust".
Humanity's madness was completely ignited. No comet hit the earth, no continent sank. Humanity ended its own civilization with its own hands.
And this day also means that people have entered the "new era."
Everything happened unexpectedly, but not everyone was unprepared.
All over the world, after seeing the power of the "AN602" launched in the uninhabited area of the Arctic Circle in 1961, they have already begun to prepare shelters.
And I, Zhang Xiyuan, a young man who is preparing for his first mock exam, will soon become a key figure in turning around the situation in the new era.
But now I take a deep breath, and what I smell is the smell of disinfectant, a damp musty smell, with a salty smell in it.
This is not a dream, this is reality. I don’t know where I am, and I don’t know how long this dark time has passed. In the darkness, children’s songs with the sound of electricity sounded...
"What's the name of dad's father? Grandpa. What's the name of dad's mother? Grandma..."
In the darkness, blue and red lights glowed, and the tunes of children's songs seemed to be running out of power, making it even more eerie and terrifying.
I know this thing. It's the food delivery robot from the shelter.
It swayed over, and under the red and blue lights, I could clearly see the general environment I was in. This was a dark and long corridor. At the end of the corridor, there was a huge barbed wire fence in front of me.
The food delivery robot followed the barbed wire fence, stuffed a package in, and swayed away with its low-battery music playing.
I was hoarse and leaning against the barbed wire. The fear, anger, and depression of finding myself in this environment cost me a lot of energy. Now I just leaned on the barbed wire and waited. As for what to expect, I don't know.
My ordinary life for 18 years completely went off the track that morning...
It was an ordinary Saturday. I bought an ordinary bottle of water in an ordinary convenience store, and then the deafening air-raid siren sounded. I thought it was because I was immersed in studying and forgot that today was an important day, or maybe it was because What a drill. At this time, all the TV broadcasts began to broadcast a news item.
At the same time, my cell phone and that of the convenience store cashier rang at the same time, and it was a message.
"In an emergency, a large explosion will occur in this area in about an hour. Please go to the nearest underground passage or subway station to evacuate immediately! If conditions permit, try to bring some food, drinking water and lighting! This is not a drill! This is not a drill!"
explode? How can it be? !
But the honking of horns outside the door, the helicopters rumbling overhead, and the screaming passers-by on the street all prove that this is true...
This is not a drill! This is real! Fear stimulated adrenaline and my pace gradually accelerated... In my panic, I had already lost my flip-flops, but I couldn't care less...
"Dad! Let's go! It's going to explode! Dad!"
I crawled and opened the door. My father was lying on the sofa, surrounded by wine bottles. All the commotion outside seemed to have nothing to do with him... I struggled to lift him up, listening to the heart-burning alarm outside, Want to cry but no tears.
"Dad! It's too late! Let's go!" I shouted loudly and shook him, but he was still drunk.
I dragged him and pressed the elevator button. Fortunately, the elevator could still be used.
"Ding dong!" The elevator door opened, but there were five people in black suits standing inside. "Zhang Xiyuan?" one of them asked.
I nodded, how did he know my name?
A man in the middle wearing sunglasses said, "Zhang Xiyuan, we are from the Life Development Association, now you need to follow us."
"Where are you going?"
"refuge."
"But..."
I was about to retort when one of them pulled out a gun.
"You have no right to refuse, you must come with us."
"Where are my dad and my sister?"
"We can only take you into the shelter. Regarding your family, people from other departments will be responsible."
I wanted to say something else, but there was a sharp pain in my neck, and then I didn't know anything else.
In the hazy moment, I was already sitting in a commercial car. I felt so weak and weak all over, and my eyelids were as heavy as a thousand pounds.
"What are you doing?" I asked vaguely without using any energy in my tongue.
No one paid attention to me.
They must have injected me with some kind of anesthetic. My tears flowed down unconsciously mixed with my saliva...
The man next to me finally turned around, wearing sunglasses. I couldn't see his expression clearly, but I saw the corners of his mouth raised slightly.
"You'll thank me."
In the blink of an eye, my consciousness gradually faded away again...
I woke up again, on a soft bed. There was even a fireplace at the foot of the bed, and a fire was burning. Only then did I realize that this house seemed to be made of a natural cave, because of the texture of the rock and the arch of the roof. The shapes, angles and shapes are the same as the real thing.
There is a windproof jacket and sweatpants on the bed. There is a toilet and shower in the bathroom next to it. Except that there is no TV and Internet cable, it can be called a style big bed room. Oh, and there was the surveillance camera in the corner of the room, unabashedly facing my bed.
Who are these people, and why did they bring me to this cave and then monitor me?
Isn't this a reality show? ! I suddenly had this idea, maybe this is a reality show like "The Truman Show", and now there are many people watching my every move...
My movements started to become a little artificial. The strange thing was that there were no windows in this room, only a wooden door. I opened the door easily with a twist.
As soon as I opened the door, I was dumbfounded.
There is an iron gate on the left side of the door, and a cliff of ten thousand feet on the right! The cold wind is blowing inside!
This is really a cave! The fireplace is not a decoration but is really used for heating...
I clung to the wall, shivering, and slowly moved toward the entrance of the cave on the right. There were strong winds, deep clouds, and mist. How high up a mountain was I on!
