At 8 p.m. on April 5, it was pouring rain in H City.

There are only a dozen passengers sitting in the large soft seat waiting room. A large, wall-mounted LCD TV on the wall is silently broadcasting international news.

The close-up of the television screen is dark, but the distant ground is filled with a terrifying blood red.

At the end of the horizon, a towering supervolcano is spewing golden-red magma. The firelight reflected the entire sky, and the dust and ash rushed up to the stratosphere of the atmosphere dozens of kilometers high in one go, and the electric charges collided, causing dozens of dazzling thunderbolts.

A rain of lava projectiles flew into the air, mercilessly smashing into the grass and trees within a radius of hundreds of kilometers. Although the footage is muted, it is still not difficult to imagine the deafening explosion sound at the scene through the violent shaking of the camera.

This is obviously a terrifying sight that can only exist in the post-apocalyptic hell, but it failed to attract the attention of anyone in the waiting room. After all, the erupting supervolcano is more than 4,000 kilometers away on the Indonesian island of Sumatra; And the journey that the passengers are about to embark on is close at hand.

The clock pointed to half past eight, and the train heading north to City B finally began to check in and board.

Su He dragged his luggage briskly across the platform, his carriage in the ninth section of the train, next to the dining car.

The superior soft sleeper is a private room for two people, with a separate bathroom, a bunk on one side and a sofa on the other. There is also an LCD TV and an intercom hanging on the wall at the foot of the bed.

Su He's ticket was an upper bunk, but he was in no hurry to climb up. After taking off his coat and putting his luggage away, he sat on the sofa and texted his cousin Lu Rulan.

With the hair and the sliding door of the box was pulled open again. Another temporary owner of the small space also walked in.

Hearing the sound of footsteps pausing beside him, Su He subconsciously retracted his feet.

Only then did the person continue to walk forward, and the tip of the dripping umbrella knocked lightly in front of Su He's feet.

Su He muttered in his heart and raised his head.

He saw a handsome man in a smoky gray shirt, tall and straight, with broad shoulders and long legs, and a classic Quiff hairstyle with jet-black hair.

…… How can it be so coincidental? That hateful Du Yunfei!

Su He chuckled in his heart, and then immediately remembered that this man, who had only known him for two days, had indeed mentioned that he was going to City B for a consultation recently.

But I didn't expect it to be today, this trip!

This is really a narrow road.

It was obviously impossible to pretend not to know, so Su He reluctantly squeezed out a smirk: "Go to City B." ”

Du Yunfei obviously didn't want to deal with it, so he only said "um", bypassed Su He and put the luggage on the edge of the lower bunk. Then he took the thermos cup, book and ipad he had brought with him out of his bag.

The atmosphere in the box became very awkward. If nothing else, this embarrassment will continue for hours until the train arrives in City B tomorrow morning.

Su He knew that he couldn't hold it back, and while scolding in his heart, he continued to take the initiative to talk.

“…… Did you leave something at the bar that day? ”

Du Yunfei, who was making the bed, immediately turned around: "Where are the things in your place?" ”

Yo, it's kind of interesting to be so nervous.

Su He didn't like Du Yunfei very much, so he began to deliberately sell Guan Zi at this moment.

"yes, you're too careless to know if something fell into my coat. If it had been someone else, it would have been thrown away a long time ago. ”

"Thank you." Du Yunfei was very sincere: "That thing has a special meaning to me, I hope you can return it to me." ”

"Okay."

Since it is a special item, Su He does not make it difficult for others: "I don't have it with me now, I will express it to you when I get home in a few days, but the postage will be paid." ”

Du Yunfei disagreed: "The express delivery on my side will be lost, you still put it in Lao Cheng's bar, and I will pick it up." ”

Su He was about to agree, but he shook his head in embarrassment.

"I don't dare to go to Ah Cheng's side, lest I be mistaken by some people for a scumbag who likes **. Besides, I picked it up for you, so you have to thank me, right? ”

“……”

Du Yunfei seemed speechless, and was silent for a while before squeezing out a few more words: "I'll invite you to dinner." ”

Su He looked at his impatient but helpless face, and couldn't help but feel good, but he still pretended to be indifferent on the surface.

"That's it. Well, I'll have to decide when and where. ”

Du Yunfei seemed to be annoyed with him, didn't speak anymore, and continued to turn around to arrange the pillow.

What a weird temper. Su He touched his nose and decided to give up the plan to pretend to be friendly and simply climb to the top bunk out of sight.

There was also an LCD TV on the wall of the upper bunk, and Su He turned it on. The CCTV news station that jumped out of the picture is still the supervolcano called Krakatoa in Sumatra, Indonesia.

Of course, Su He knew that this was not a simple volcanic eruption.

At 11:30 p.m. yesterday night, an asteroid numbered 2028GA with a diameter of between 40 and 60 meters deviated from its earlier predicted orbit and disintegrated in the sky southwest of Sumatra. Although some of the debris burned up in the atmosphere, a large number of meteorites still crashed into the ground.

Among them, there was a large meteorite fragment that hit the grumpy supervolcano just right.

Explosions, eruptions, partially collapsed volcanoes slide into the Indian Ocean. Minutes later, the tsunami hit the west and south shores of Sumatra and Java, with seawater pouring into the interior for several kilometres; Arrived on the north coast of Australia at 5am.

The television scene cuts to the city, with a large number of buildings and vehicles damaged, and the streets covered with shards of glass, bricks and fallen trees......

Su He sighed and turned off the TV again.

He lay down on the bed with his back to the sky, opened his mobile phone's WeChat, and found a message next to the avatar of a cute boy at the top.

He clicked on this friend with the note "Duan Whale".

"Something happened to the Youqing family, and I took my son to stay in Q City to accompany him. My car was scratched a few days ago and put it in the 4S shop for repair. There's still your equipment in the trunk, so remember to pick it up yourself."

Su He frowned and replied to him, "What happened to Youqing?"

Duan Whale replied after a while: "Someone in his family has passed away, and now his love is very unstable."

"Why so suddenly!" Su He was also taken aback: "Then you have to comfort him, he has done so many things for you, you should also respond to others."

Duan Whale simply replied with the word "good" and didn't speak again.

Su He thought about it, found a contact with a husky profile picture, and began to type into the dialog box.

"Brother Cheng, the guy you introduced me the day before yesterday is now in the same sleeper box as me."

The man known as Brother Cheng replied instantly: "Doctor Du? What a coincidence! See, this is fate!"

What kind of bullshit fate, if you have it, it's also a bad fate.

Su He slandered like this, and his ten fingers kept tapping lightly: "Come on, he doesn't like me. If you meet a few more times, will you still give me a digital anal examination and then issue a certificate of completion of this training?"

Brother Cheng on the WeChat side hurriedly posted a crying and laughing emoji: "Isn't this all a misunderstanding, thanks to the fact that I didn't arrange a blind date for the two of you, so he thought you were the 'kind of person' who hunted in a bar." I also explained to him later, although you are indeed too good-looking, but you are also a young talent who has a promising future after graduating from graduate school and staying in school to teach. In the future, if the country allows us to pull a red book, and one of you wins a Nobel Prize, it will be the fairy couple, Marx and Engels in the new era."

…… What bullshit mess.

Su He was amused by Brother Cheng's boundless nonsense, and the depression in his heart was finally alleviated a lot. He said goodbye to Brother Cheng after a few more nonsense, and as soon as he closed the dialog box, he saw another avatar flashing.

This time, it was a student in Suhe's class who sent a small video, and it was specifically noted that it was "a real record of Sumatra".

Su He put on the headphones and turned on the full screen. The picture is very dark, at first only a series of rapid footsteps and the photographer's panting, and suddenly there is a loud noise in the distance, and the picture shakes rapidly, aiming at the sky.

A pillar of fire rose in the night sky in the distance, dyeing all the clouds bright red!

The video is shot at the night sky for about five seconds, and then moves again in the direction of the staircase, fast-forwarding a large section of the bump in the middle. By the time the playback speed was restored, the photographer had already run up to the terrace on the top floor.

High up on the terrace is a neon billboard that glows eerily blood-red. The footage is still shaking, and the photographer seems to want to run to the edge of the terrace to capture the scene beyond.

But before that, the camera first captured a strange picture.

There were also two or three people on the terrace, as if overly frightened, all crouched in the shadows, nestled in a ball.

The videographer walked up to them and asked questions in the local language. But the squatting man never answered.

The picture is getting closer and closer, and suddenly there is a violent jolt. The videographer appears to have slipped and fallen to the ground, letting out an exclamation sound. A left hand appears in the camera, stained with a large amount of dark brown unidentified liquid.

The photographer appears to have said something expletive, and then turns on the flash.

And at the moment when the lights came on, the three people who were squatting in the darkness in front of him suddenly raised their heads, revealing six green eyes.

The camera shakes violently, and the short film comes to an abrupt end.

What the heck?

Su He was shocked, and when he looked back and saw the words "true record on Sumatra Island", he felt skeptical.

So he replied to the student with three words: "What are you doing?"

The student also replied to him in seconds: "Boss, the world is over, there are zombies!"

Su Hele: "You've watched too many movies, have you done your homework?"

There was a sudden silence on the phone.

At the beginning, Su He thought that the students were pretending to be dead, but after a while, he found that the mobile signal had dropped to a grid.

The train has already departed without realizing it.
