Wake up on time twenty minutes before the alarm goes off, and the dim light from outside the window enters the room through the curtains. Before the hazy eyes opened, the hand was already touching the phone in a fixed position. Light up the screen, unlock it, open the browser, scroll through the constant push news, and quickly understand the big and small things that have been sent or are being sent in all corners of the world. It seems that if you don't look at these for a day, you will be abandoned by the world.

Wake up, wash up, go downstairs and buy breakfast. As soon as the door opened, a cool cold wind blew in, which was not commensurate with the hot summer. As usual, the people of several properties at the entrance of the community are talking loudly about the major events of the country and the world, analyzing the economy of the country and the world, and judging the development trend of the country and the world.

Outside a nearby restaurant, an aunt rinsed the vegetables as usual, and put them on the ground before rinsing, but after rinsing, they were still on the ground. On the road, the cars passed slowly, and the takeaway brother and the courier brother rode their own electric cars, showing superb technology, and the dragon swinging its tail and shuttling between the cars. People are constantly riding bicycles on the sidewalk, ringing the bell. There is an extra bicycle lane on the sidewalk, and it is inevitable that two waves of people walking opposite each other will be dissatisfied with each other.

There were always a few people crowded next to the steamed bun shop, and when it was Liu Chen's turn, the waiter didn't wait for him to speak, and loaded three steamed buns. Liu Chen smiled bitterly in his heart, it's no wonder that others, every day is the same taste, the same requirements, it has long become a habit. Even when I wanted to change, I unconsciously accepted everything that was the same.

After breakfast, I looked up at the sky, and there were a few dark clouds floating low in the blue sky. Let the wind blow and the sun drive away, still refuse to leave.

Enter the subway and go through security. Even if the detector made a "didi" sound during the security check, everyone continued to move forward as if nothing had happened. All this has long been commonplace.

......

There are surprisingly few people in the subway, and there are a few empty spots, which is a rarity during rush hour. Because the ride was very short, Liu Chen did not sit down and stood near the junction of the carriages.

Glancing at the carriage: a baby kept crying, and the mother kept comforting her, but to no avail, a girl with glasses in her hands on the opposite side held a book in her hands, a young man with headphones in the distance laughed, and everyone else stared down at the phone screen, some typed with both hands and some swiped with one hand, reveling in the small screen. In this way, the most out of place in the whole carriage is the girl who reads the book.

Liu Chen closed his eyes with a tired mood, the familiar sound of "knock, knock, knock" floated in his ears, and he was thinking about how to deal with a few unreasonable requests made by customers after work last night.

Suddenly, there was a dizziness, a piercing sound that seemed to pierce the eardrums, followed by a dazzling white light that seemed to shoot through the brain. Liu Chen opened his eyes in horror, several people looked up at each other, and continued to look at the mobile phone screen; the little baby suddenly stopped crying; the girl who was reading the book threw the book on the ground, looking around nervously and in surprise, her face full of panic.

Liu Chen continued to close his eyes, and although his eyes were closed, there were still fast-flashing billboards outside the train window in front of him. After a while, Liu Chen realized something, hurriedly looked at his watch, and a strange feeling arose. It's been an hour since I started, and I haven't arrived at the station yet. This journey, which is at least twice a day, has been going through three or four years, and it only takes 32 minutes from the security check to getting off the bus. Liu Chen not only lamented that this fast-growing city is so slow today.

The carriage slowly became agitated, and the car kept moving forward, but it never reached a certain platform. Suddenly, Liu Chen saw the girl's book that was still on the ground, it turned out to be the book that told the story of the person who traveled through the wasteland and went to another world after his death, and his body suddenly shivered coldly. The girl saw Liu Chen staring at the book as frightened as she did, and asked, "Do you also know the world beyond the wasteland that the book is about?"

......

Liu Chen realized what she meant and said, "I know, but it's just a novel, it can't be true." Look, everybody's still looking at their phones. ”

The girl glanced at the carriage, and as before, most of them were staring down at the phone screen. Feeling a little solace from this, a glimmer of hope ignited in my heart, and I closed my eyes and let out a long breath.

"Why hasn't there been a reply from my phone?", a person in the carriage said loudly, "The signal is getting weaker and weaker." ”

"Yes, yes, so do I. Everyone agreed, "There is no signal anymore." ”

A look of horror appeared on the girl's face again, and she quickly took out her mobile phone, and sure enough, it showed that the network was not connected. Liu Chen did the same thing at the moment, and the result was the same.

Liu Chen asked the girl, "Did you feel a shrill sound and a dazzling white light before?"

"Yes, I was scared at first, but then the train continued to move and I gradually stopped worrying until I found out that the train kept stopping at the platform, and I felt more and more terrifying. The girl said.

"Could it be that something strange happened at that moment?" Liu Chen said to himself.

"It's been so long, even if you start from the starting station, you should have arrived at the final station early," the girl continued to say anxiously.

Liu Chen was already upset and silent. Someone was holding an emergency call device in the carriage and trying to contact the conductor, but the intercom was always filled with the sound of "sizzling lala". Even more impatient people began to try to smash the windows of the moving train, but in vain. The sounds of scolding and sobbing were mixed with each other, and Liu Chen's mind was filled with scenes of weird movie plots and chapters of weird novel plots.

The train continued for a while, and the window gradually became brighter. Through the car window, there was an endless grassland and a blue sky outside, and the grassland was shining with light. If this is appreciating nature, even if there is no picture of "the wind blows the grass and sees the cattle and sheep", it is enough to refresh people's hearts and feel relaxed. It's just that this scene doesn't match this situation, the people in the car are all like ants in a hot pot, and the whole carriage is full of anxious, worried, and surprised air currents.

The train gradually stopped, and the doors opened automatically, but there was no such thing as the usual announcement when arriving at the station. With a look of surprise, people walked out of the train and stood on the vast grassland at a loss.

"Where's the train that just stopped, why is it gone?" exclaimed the girl.

In the past, disasters, suspense films, television, and novel plots were often after a group of people came to an isolated and unfamiliar environment, and immediately people with strong organizational skills would appear to arrange for everyone to save themselves and survive, and then people with various specialties would appear to give advice to the temporary small group, or to appease everyone, or to teach people skills...... But at this moment, Liu Chen has seen all the people around him, and he has not developed according to such a plot, obviously he is also ordinary and does not have such ability.

The flickering lights on the grassland slowly lengthened and widened, turning into glowing doors that automatically moved in front of everyone.

"What is this?", "The door of death?", "The gate to another world?", everyone was stunned. Some people are discouraged and avoid it, some people open the door, walk in and disappear, and the door disappears with it.

Liu Chen hesitated for a moment, stretched out and touched the doorknob, and with a light press, he opened the door in front of him, and there was only a light white mist inside, and nothing could be seen. Liu Chen thought for a moment and took a step forward.

"Hey, why did you get off work so early today?" asked Liu Chen's roommate, Wang Fan.

At this time, Liu Chen's jaw had already dropped in shock, and he couldn't help but think, "Is it true or false?"

Liu Chen responded absentmindedly and returned to his room.
