Chapter 2: The One and Only Human Being
Li Fengqi sat for a long time.
He remembered a short thriller story he had read in a science fiction magazine when he was young, and he remembered vividly: in a school, when a teenager jumped on the playground, everything around him fell into a standstill, and only he could move freely, and the teenager wandered alone in an absolutely static city, only for three days, and finally committed suicide after despairing of the static world.
At the moment of the boy's death, the still world re-operated.
But he couldn't reverse his death.
Li Fengqi felt that the young man was a fool.
In an absolutely static world, you don't know how to enjoy yourself, at least you have to sleep with the goddess before committing suicide.
Stupid.
He didn't do much of this kind of daydreaming.
Of course, as a normal man, he daydreams are more than just a goddess in the sleeping area.
Sleep more.
But now that he was there, he knew......
What a horrible thing it is.
And even more.
However, Li Fengqi doesn't feel that the people of the whole world have disappeared, which is too unscientific.
Maybe there's another possibility.
He, like the boy in the story, enters a magical space.
Humanity has not disappeared.
They are still living a wonderful life on the original earth, and only Li Fengqi himself has disappeared.
Does this mean that death is the end?
Shudder.
Li Fengqi doesn't want to die, he still has a lot of dreams, but at this moment, in a lonely city, a world of one person, there is something more terrible than death - loneliness.
No one can afford eternal loneliness.
The most terrifying thing is that you can't even die in such a world.
Li Fengqi suddenly stood on end.
Can I die?
If you can't die, it will be a despair and pain that no words can describe.
Li Fengqi immediately experimented.
I randomly found a nail in the corner of the road and gently stabbed the back of my hand.
The pain immediately filled my heart.
Sighed.
The nail should pierce the skin, it hurts, it will definitely bleed, which means that you will die.
He immediately smiled bitterly.
How much force I have, not thinking about figuring out the truth of the matter at the moment, but thinking about whether I can die, is even more stupid than a teenager in an absolutely static world.
But what is the truth?
Did someone else on Earth disappear, or did you disappear and enter another dimension on Earth?
Unknown.
But always go for it.
If it's the former, then at least try to see if you can find someone in the same situation as you.
Well, preferably a woman.
It's better to be a pretty woman.
You have to be young.
Li Fengqi is determined to continue to search, hoping to have someone who has the same disease.
Born and raised in a small county, although it has developed rapidly over the years and there are many high-rise buildings, Li Fengqi can find every alley with his eyes closed and be familiar with every urban area.
He drove slowly through the deserted streets.
North-south arterial road, no one.
The small streets crisscrossing the east and west, and there are no people.
When turning on the last ring road and passing by a bridge, Li Fengqi found two umbrellas on the riverside, under which there were fishing rods and fishing boxes, the fish guards containing the fish were placed in the water, and there were night fishing lights standing next to the fishing boxes.
The angler is not there!
Li Fengqi has also fished.
Knowing that if the angler wants to leave temporarily, he will generally not put the rod in the water, but will put it away and put it on the bracket to avoid the rod being pulled away by the big fish or the hook hanging on the bottom.
He suddenly thought of the situation he had investigated before: the car in the middle of the street, the car keys were not removed, and the mobile phone and wallet were there!
Now the night anglers don't even take their fishing rods.
There is only one possibility: when a person disappears, it is a matter of a moment.
This also explains why parents don't call themselves.
As soon as he thought of this, Li Fengqi was full of sadness.
He only wished that he had disappeared now, not the entire human race of the world, so that his parents would be sad, but at least alive.
Go on.
Driving on the road, in the absolute silence, he gave birth to an endless illusion, and at the same time of despair and sadness, a sense of excitement rose in his heart that he had never felt before.
If only he was left in the world......
Sitting on a planet by himself, he is the king of this blue planet!
The thought sparked his nerves, and he was both frightened and excited.
For a whole day, Li Fengqi drove all over the streets and alleys of the small county town, and did not find a single figure, not even the shadow of an animal.
It's not just people who are disappearing.
And animals.
As night fell, Li Fengqi returned home.
I searched all the streets and alleys today and found nothing, and I plan to go to various communities tomorrow to look for them.
Boiled a bowl of omelette, gobbled up.
After washing the dishes and making tea.
On the floor-to-ceiling balcony, Li Fengqi slumped in a recliner and watched the night scene, the street was still brightly lit, some houses in many communities were still lit up, and the occasional barbecue restaurant was open, but no one was there.
The people who eat barbecue and sell barbecue all disappeared at three o'clock last night.
The whole city is so quiet.
Li Fengqi lit a cigarette.
An indescribable loneliness filled my heart.
As the sole survivor of the vanished world, humanity will have a freedom that no one has ever attained in the past, but that freedom means loneliness.
Li Fengqi spit out a puff of smoke rings, sighed deeply, and his thoughts were messy.
If you can't stand loneliness......
Will you commit suicide?
What kind of despair would it be if you committed suicide at the moment of suicide, such as jumping off a building, and you found everyone in mid-air again.
Li Fengqi didn't dare to think about it.
Just like in the movie "The Mist", after a heavy fog, the male protagonist took his son to fight monsters all the way, and when the final desperate situation came, he cried and killed his son and his companions with his own hands, but found that the fog had cleared and he was rescued alone......
What darkness and despair it was at that moment.
Cigarette after cigarette, the tea had already been drunk tasteless, Li Fengqi still had no sleep, got up and came to his parents' bedroom, hesitated for a while, or decided not to clean up.
Maybe one day when I wake up, my parents come out of the bedroom and call for me to wake up.
Walk into the study and turn on the computer.
The network is not disconnected!
Just searched all corners of the Internet, Li Fengqi couldn't find any news after 3 o'clock last night, even if he went abroad to read Facebook and Twitter.
Li Fengqi did not give up.
Log in to your favorite sports forum Tiger Pounce, crazy posting and swiping the screen, only one sentence.
Is anyone there, someone please answer.
And that's not all.
He also went to Zhihu, Weibo, Douban, and Tieba......
Hope to be able to find someone else.
After doing all this, Li Fengqi washed and slept.
I hope that when I wake up tomorrow, there will be a busy figure of my mother in the kitchen, and my father will sit in the living room and raise his head from the newspaper, and say that you see who is as old as you, and everyone else has a second child, you kid should hurry up and bring a girl home for Lao Tzu.
