Sequence 1 Awakening
Her thumb twitched, and she gradually regained consciousness......
When she opened her eyes, she couldn't feel a glimmer of light, she wasn't sure if she had opened them or if she was in a dream, she only felt as uncomfortable as if they were in the sand, accompanied by an inexplicable tingling sensation.
She fumbled around in pain, feeling surrounded by rubble, a thick layer of sand beneath her, and the lifeless atmosphere around her that left her breathless. She gradually remembered her last moments before she fell into a coma, her parents, and the friends who had supported her and hated her......
"What are the results of what you have been chasing music for so many years? How good is Dad's unit, drought and flood protection, what do you not want to go? Fiddling with your broken piano all day long, can you feed you with it? ”
"What's wrong with my love for music? I have my own dreams and my own ideas, why can't I chase them? The daughter's strong attitude seemed to make the father very sad, and he brushed aside the sparse bangs in front of his forehead and asked, "Do you mean that Dad forced you?" ”
"Don't you?"
The father turned away angrily, and the conversation ended unhappily. After a while, the mother appeared outside the door.
"Eat some fruit, girl! Fruit is good for the throat! ”
The daughter's tears could no longer hold back, and all emotions surged out at this moment.
"Put it on the table, Mom! I'll eat it later! ”
The low and choked state of her daughter's voice made her mother feel distressed, she took her daughter's shoulders and whispered: "Mom supports you, whatever you do, Mom supports you!" ”
Suddenly, a loud bang interrupted all her thoughts, and her brain was repressed in the lifeless darkness, the darkness in front of her that made her fear come to a creep. She tried to grope around again, but there was nothing but cold, hard cement bricks and planks. She tried to get up, but her head hit the bookcase above, and the pain in her head caused her to cry out loudly.
Screaming and expletive, perhaps alleviating the pain, she quickly calmed down, searching for something to survive in all parts of her body.
A lighter illuminates the entire area, but when she sees the illuminated area, her heart is even more depressed. She was caught between two collapsed bookcases.
She looked up and saw a gap on her right, not big, but enough for her to crawl out of it, and just as she tried to move, the earth shook violently, mixed with a "boom" sound, she lay still and did not dare to move, closed her eyes, put her hands on her chest in prayer, and when everything had calmed down, she was about to get out, only to find that her right foot was stuck outside the bookcase. She struggled desperately to kick the bricks that were holding her feet away, but to no avail after a long time, it felt as if her feet were being tethered by an invulnerable shackle. She screamed desperately with fear of everything around her, but only a faint echo and a trace of dust echoed her......
As the minutes passed, she gradually "woke up" from her fantasy and realized that she was still in danger. She shone the lighter underneath and tried to move the clamped right foot again, she felt that she could pull the foot through the gap, but the shoe was stuck outside, so she pulled up the trouser leg and tried to pull the right foot back slowly, intending to take the shoe off with the edges and corners of both sides. While encouraging herself in her heart, she turned her right foot, but the more she tried to get rid of it, the tighter she felt stuck, and in the painful struggle, she gradually lost her patience and began to rotate her leg vigorously until her ankle was a little sore, and then she gave up this rough way, and she calmed down from her irritability.
After much struggle, she finally pulled her right leg out of the gap, leaving her shoe outside. As if relieved, she lay flat on the floor with her eyes closed, and although the space was suffocating, she could still feel the joy from within.
After a brief moment of euphoria, her mind was forcibly pulled back to reality by the darkness around her, and the darkness and suffocation in front of her made her dare not relax for a moment.
Although there had been an aftershock, the gap on the right was still there, and she desperately slipped out of it.
The scene before her was chaotic, the floor was littered with books, and she crawled forward with her bare right foot at a rapid pace, not paying the slightest attention to her rubble-scratched foot. For the first time in her life, she felt that standing was a luxury, and she fumbled in her pants pockets, only to find the owner's change when she bought breakfast in her pocket.
The entire library building was in a dilapidated state, and the chandelier on the ceiling was crumbling, as if it could fall down at any moment. Standing on the ruins at this time, she seemed extremely calm, she didn't even believe that she was standing here, as if some kind of floating soul was living on her body.
She took a few steps forward and felt something strange on her right foot, which was all the more sensitive due to the lack of shoes. She took a few steps back, but sat down on the ground in a cold sweat, one arm peeking out from the bottom of the bookshelf. The man was crushed underneath the bookcase, and she vaguely remembered the tattoo on that arm......
"Big brother! No smoking here! Tyunin reminded the man who was lighting a cigarette at the table next to him.
The man ignored it, lit his cigarette and took a heavy puff, put the lighter on the table and replied, "I'll smoke!" What do you think?! ”
Tyunine closed her book and stood up and left her seat.
"Sir! Smoking is not allowed in the library! If you want to suck, go outside! The caretaker pointed in the direction of the doorway and said to the man smoking. Tyunine crossed her hands over her chest and stood aside, apparently she had brought this rescuer. The man stared straight at Qiu Ning, then moved his gaze to the administrator, and asked confidently, "What's wrong with smoking a cigarette?!" Did my smoking affect the core values of socialism? ”
"You...... I mean you can't smoke here! This sentence still failed to have a deterrent effect, and the smoking man turned his eyes to Qiu Ning angrily and said, "I said, why do you owe so much to this little girl?!" There is no one in the morning, and if you don't want to smell the smoke, sit away from it, and tell what! ”
The caretaker, apparently losing patience, took the man who was smoking by the arm and walked out, and the man shook his grabbed arm while shouting, "Hey! Stinky old man! Don't pull me! So the two men tore together, and Tyunine noticed the tattoo on the man's arm.
Just as the two were entangled, an evil wind suddenly blew in from the window, and then the earth shook rapidly, accompanied by a strange sound. The three of them looked up at the ceiling in unison. At this moment, the shaking of the stairs suddenly accelerated, followed by the sound of the ground tearing. The Administrator shouted, "Earthquake! Come on! Then he hurried to the door. Aware of the danger, Tyunin also staggered and ran out the door. She walked through a row of bookcases, holding on to the other side with one hand, sensing the danger here, and just as she wanted to leave, it was too late, when the book on the left shelf fell from her head, and she lost consciousness......
While she was still thinking nonsense, the aftershocks struck again, and she crawled to her knees under a broken desk. The aftershocks were stronger than the previous ones, and she felt the floor under her feet swaying involuntarily, and everything around her was rattling.
The tremor faded away, but she still hid under the table and didn't dare to move. The chandelier on the ceiling slammed down on the table where she was hiding, and the shards on the chandelier splashed everywhere, and Qiuning felt a tingling pain on her face, and she was about to touch the wound with her hand, when she suddenly felt the sound of something breaking under her feet. Her premonition coincided with the subsidence, and she fell down with the collapsed rubble......
She lay on the ground, aching all over, choking on the dust around her. At this time, she was conscious, but she didn't want to get up, she was afraid of facing sudden danger again, and she was even more afraid that she would suddenly wake up. For a long time, she slowly stood up, the darkness around her, and the dust that spread it made it harder for her to judge where she was. The lighter, the only life-saving straw, is nowhere to be found.
She slowly got up, patted the dust off her body, and fumbled around. It's not completely dark, but it's hard to see clearly. Step by step, she dragged her injured leg, slowly walked in an unknown direction, the stone under her feet tripped her, and then there was a sharp pain in her right foot, the pain quickly spread throughout her body, she couldn't help screaming, looked down, and found that her right ankle was scraped by the steel bar supported by concrete, blood gushed out of the wound, she took off the torn sock on her right foot, put the wrist guard on her neck, and put the sock on her left foot on her right foot, although it was still uncomfortable to step on the ground, but it was much stronger than just now.
She pulled down her trouser leg and dragged her injured foot to limp and continue to groping. Suddenly she felt something with a rubber texture, and as she stroked the edges and corners, she recognized that it was a car tire, and she gradually remembered that this should be in the parking lot below the library. She fumbled with both hands for the wreckage of the car and continued to walk. The dust gradually cleared, she slowly saw the surrounding environment clearly, there were a few lights on in the parking lot, the lights were very weak, and they flickered from time to time, and the cars around were dilapidated, like scrapped car buying plants, she didn't know where the exit was, let alone where the "new" exit was......
Suddenly, she heard a voice from the wreckage of the car on her right, which was very clear in this empty environment, and her heart beat faster, and although she knew what she was going through, she still walked in the direction of the sound.
The car was in tatters, with multiple cracks in the windshield and a roof deformed by a huge piece of reinforced concrete, one of which was inserted into the car. At this time, there was another "knock" sound, and now she was very sure that the sound was coming from the car. She circled to the side, intending to take a look, but was a little surprised by what she saw. I saw a man and a woman lying in the back seat of the car in disheveled clothes, the woman lying on the man motionless, the legs of the two were stuck, and there was a large pool of blood in the car. Tyunine gasped and opened the badly deformed car door, intending to do something. The man in the car raised his arm and stretched out to Qiu Ning, moaning in a weak voice: "Help...... I ......"
As soon as the tail note landed, the concrete on the roof of the car showed signs of loosening, and the steel bar that had been inserted into the car happened to run through the bodies of the two, and a pinch of blood sprayed on Qiu Ning's face, and the car was completely crushed. Qiu Ning fell in horror and instinctively dodged backwards, her heart beating to the extreme, and she could feel that it was the fastest her heart beat ever. The blood splashed on her face flowed into her eyes, causing her to close her eyes, but her right eye still hurt like sand.
After a few seconds, the scene around her forced her to get up, she flicked the dirt on her body, looked around and felt more confused, she didn't know what to do next, it seemed that she still had lingering palpitations because of what had just happened, she was very afraid that she would be like the man and woman in the car, lose all consciousness in an instant, and she would disappear forever; When it's all over, maybe no one will know she's been here, and she'll only be in the death toll.
She walked around the parking lot and found that all the exits were blocked, including the ones that had collapsed. The oppressive atmosphere here made her feel an unprecedented fear, which came from loneliness. When you know that you may be the only survivor of this land, that indescribable desolation will occupy all your thoughts.
Tyuten sat on the ground, leaning against a relatively intact car, thinking motionless with his eyes closed. I thought of the past, I thought of the future, I thought that she would die here, her soul floating in the air, and that she would be rescued and reunited with her family......
