The filthy hallway was full of garbage, and there was an extremely strong smell of decay, and black water droplets seeped from above Su Li's head, cutting across his cheeks, leaving a pitch-black mark and blurring his tears, like a funny clown. But even so, he was unmoved.

The dim and flickering lights made it impossible to see Su Li's expression at the moment, but the inexplicable grievances in his heart suddenly erupted after being suppressed for four years, and an indescribable anger rushed straight to Su Li's heart.

After a brief lull, his breathing became rapid, sweat oozing from his forehead, and then he crumpled the greeting card in his hand and threw it in the garbage.

"What do you mean by my own life? It's ridiculous! The moment my parents died, I didn't have a life of my own. ”

"I'm just surviving in this hell right now!"

Su Li let out a hoarse roar, the voice was angry, unwilling, with a hint of despair, with some confusion.

Eventually, he lowered his head as if resigned to his fate, and gradually the expression on his face became indifferent again.

The old elevator opened, and the smell of decay, which was a hundred times stronger than the corridor, came to the face, but it still couldn't melt the indifferent and expressionless face.

In addition to the garbage piled up, there were also several people wearing N95 masks standing on the elevator, their eyes as indifferent and godless as Su Li, as if they were pieces of meat without a soul.

got on the elevator, and the moment the elevator closed, Su Li's eyes finally fell on the greeting card lying alone in the garbage heap.

In a short moment, time seemed to stand still, and in the next second, Su Li's palm suddenly opened the elevator, and the ghost rushed out like a god.

"Please wait for me......"

Picking up the greeting card again and putting it back in his school bag, Su Li was also surprised, and didn't understand why he did it......

Perhaps he has not yet realized that even if there is no hope, his heart seems unwilling to give up hope. In short, no matter what, it's always good to have some thoughts.

Turning around, the people on the elevator didn't mean to wait for him at all, even if it was only for a few seconds, no one was willing to wait, for fear of wasting their time, the elevator slowly closed, and through the gap that was about to close, Su Li only saw a pair of indifferent eyes.

This world is like this, the survival pressure of the population explosion has made everyone's heart deeply closed, and the world is becoming more and more indifferent, just to protect their own remaining interests, although they are only a short distance of one or two meters, but it seems to be separated by an endless chasm. Even the elderly who fall down on the street are the objects that everyone avoids.

The elevator was closed, and the only elevator in the dilapidated building slowly descended, and Su Li, who lived on the 30th floor, waited ten minutes before getting on the elevator again.

There is nothing to complain about, everything that is unreasonable has become normal in this day and age, and even politeness has become a luxury.

Outside, the whole world was gray, and both the buildings and the road were covered with a thick layer of dust.

The sun shines through the dark and misty sky, barely bringing light to this world.

In addition to the sound of footsteps and the whistling of maglev cars and electric rail cars in the air, you can occasionally hear a sentence or two of conversation, and in the distance, several large black chimneys yearn to breathe thick black smoke, making the originally extremely oppressive world even more dull, making it extremely difficult to breathe.

Nowadays, the world's oil has become a scarce resource, coupled with the loss of science and technology, the federal state's ban on research and development of nuclear science and technology, so that some of the scientific and technological level of mankind has degraded to the period of the first and second industrial revolutions. In order to ensure the city's electricity, thermal power stations have once again become the mainstream of the world, countless wood and coal are burned every day, and the current Ankang City is somewhat similar to London in the early 50s of the 20th century, and the pollution of the whole city and even the whole world has exceeded imagination.

The No. 4 middle school that Su Li studied was a full hour away from his home, and because he didn't have extra money to make a bus, he had to walk, and after half an hour of hurried walking in the indifferent crowd, a change suddenly appeared.

The earth shook violently, people thought there had been an earthquake, and they ran around in panic and screamed, and soon the emaciated Su Li was knocked to the ground by the people who fled in panic.

In order to protect himself, Su Li covered his head to avoid being trampled on by others, but he just took pity on his delicate body and was devastated in the chaotic pace.

Soon, the ground stopped shaking, and Su Li thought that the earthquake had passed, but then his eyes widened, and he watched in shock as countless balls of blue light the size of a football floated out of the ground in front of him and slowly floated into the air.

"What is this?" Su Li exclaimed.

Before Su Li could recover from the shock, the pedestrians around him also stopped and let out exclamations.

"Look at the sky! How is this possible......"

"Ah, look, what are these trees, these flowers, that have grown out of thin air......

"Strange...... What does it smell like, it's so good! I've never smelled it before......."

"What are these flying animals? It looks like a species that was extinct hundreds of years ago!"

"Strange? The whole world has become so clear, and what is this blue ball of light? Am I dreaming......

“......”

Su Li got up amid the exclamations of the people, and looked at the scene in front of him like a dream in disbelief, so much so that he forgot even the pain of being trampled.

Looking left and right, under the illumination of the blue ball of light, the originally gray world became extremely clear, and countless saplings on the ground broke through the soil and grew at an extremely fast speed.

Countless vines emerge from nowhere, wrapping the surrounding towering buildings tightly, and then colorful and bright flowers bloom from the vines, and a fragrance that cannot be described in words slowly wafts away. In the end, countless beautiful butterflies and dragonflies came out of nowhere, gently flapping their wings and flying freely in this world.

Looking up, the gray and black colors slowly receded, the whole sky was repainted with crystal clear blue colors, countless white clouds drifted gently, and the gentle sunlight re-sprinkled on the earth, shining on people's bodies was so comfortable and comfortable.

In this way, under the illumination of countless blue balls of light, the whole world became more and more fresh, more and more blurred, and the breeze blew, as if in a fairyland......

"This ...... This...... This ......"

Looking at the blue sky, the sea of flowers and trees, and the spotless world that has become clear and fresh again, people are shocked and speechless, only to feel that the heavy body and mind have become extremely relaxed at this moment, and the same thing, the same scenery is playing out all over the world at the same time.

"Is this a dream? Is this a miracle?"

No, it's not a dream, because people can't imagine such a world in their dreams, and perhaps only in textbooks can you occasionally see that the sky of the world thousands of years ago was so blue, and the flowers were so delicate and fragrant. And even if it's a miracle, it can't make the ruined world look like this......

Perhaps it is the memory engraved in the human genes, as if mourning the ancient past, and the tears in people's eyes finally burst out of their eyes and fell with sadness.

Then I heard a "pop", and the blue ball of light exploded, and the fairyland-like world slowly collapsed.

As the blue ball of light continued to explode, the trees slowly withered, the flowers slowly withered, the blue sky turned gray, the fresh world was covered with thick dust, and the unpleasant and pungent smell penetrated people's nostrils through masks......

As the last blue ball of light exploded, people woke up from a dream, and the whole world became as usual, even the ground that had broken through the ground was leveled again, and the hovercars that had been torn apart by the shaking of the ground were also parked neatly on the road, as if nothing had happened before.

Su Li was still shocked by the previous miracle, but soon he felt that something was wrong, the whole world was too quiet, and there was no sound at all.

Looking around, people stood on the ground in a daze, motionless, and the cars that were supposed to be moving were suspended in the air, as if time had stood still.

Slowly, the shocked expressions on the faces of some people who did not wear masks faded, and a pair of eyes became indifferent again.

"Hey, are you okay? what's wrong with you?" Su Li stepped forward and nudged one of them with trepidation, but the man remained still standing and did not respond to his call.

Swallowing a mouthful of spit, Su Li felt a little weird, he was a little scared, he didn't know what was going on, he could only try over and over again to see if he could wake up the people in front of him.

Finally, a pedestrian responded to Su Li, but this abrupt response startled Su Li.

"What do you want to do, you stinky boy, why do you want to push me!"

Su Li looked at the passers-by in front of him a little confused, and didn't know how to explain for a while. After thinking for a moment, he wondered and said, "What happened just now, why did you stay motionless?"

But the passer-by scolded angrily: "You are sick! Lao Tzu walks on the road well, when will he not move! Do you want to find fault?"

Su Li's eyes widened in disbelief, could it be that he didn't remember what happened just now. Then he found that the whole world was running again, people were hurrying on the road, and maglev trucks were roaring back and forth again.

Su Li frowned and asked again, "You really don't remember what happened just now?"

"It's really a neurosis, I'm telling you that nothing happened just now except for you pushing me, get away from Lao Tzu!" After speaking, the passerby walked away angrily.

Su Li felt more and more incredible, but he still didn't give up, and asked other passers-by one to ask him one by one, and the others just regarded him as a neuropath, avoiding him from afar, and didn't want to deal with him at all.

In the end, Su Li confirmed that he was the only one who remembered the miraculous dreamlike scene, and the others didn't know why they had forgotten all of them.

The more he thought about it, the more weird he felt, and gradually cold sweat soaked his shabby school uniform.

"Don't think about it! just treat everything before as if it was a dream!" Shaking his head and gritting his teeth, Su Li lowered his head and continued to walk towards the school.

To be continued......
