recovery

With the summer morning light, the man stepped over the stagnant water on the road and walked unhurriedly to a breakfast shop.

"Hostess, a bowl of soy milk and two vegetarian buns. Can the fan be turned on? It's a little hot. "It's still early in the morning and there are no other customers in the store. The man picked a table near the fan and sat down.

"It's only been a few degrees, and you're too hot? The weather forecast says it's more than 30 degrees Celsius at noon. The fan is plugged in, and you can turn it on yourself. The proprietress smiled and brought the soy milk and buns to the man.

The man turned on the fan and began to eat breakfast.

"Hello creatures of the earth, my name is God."

"Ahem! Ahem! What is it?! The sudden sound caught the man who was drinking soy milk off guard.

"According to the agreement, you will be given the seed. Twenty years later, the choice begins, and only creatures whose seeds grow into fruits are eligible to participate. So now...... Let's go. The mysterious voice uttered the inexplicable words and then flipped its sleeves and disappeared, leaving a shocked and bewildered world behind.

The sound is not in any language, but it can be understood by the creatures who hear it.

The man looked at the proprietress blankly, and the action of wiping the soy milk with a napkin froze. "Well, did you hear that?"

The hostess nodded. "Listen, hear. This... "Bang!" The proprietress who hadn't finished her words fell to the ground.

The man also fell down on the table, and he had no ability to help the proprietress up.

.............

All over the world, all mammals are in a deep sleep......

Falling asleep suddenly can be a dangerous thing, especially for humans. Accidents such as various car accidents, explosions, drowning, and falls occur one after another......

If someone can look down on a city at this time, then he will see the flow of time and the stillness of space. And, of course, there are oil extraction plants and signal stations that have been struck into ruins by thunderstorms......

Similarly, in places that ordinary people can't see, strange supernatural events have also occurred. Whether deep in the mountains or underground, the missiles and nuclear bombs that used to be silent have disappeared into thin air, as if they never existed......

At the end of the fusion of time and space, the entrance is the flowing fire in the blue sky, which is a satellite that breaks through the atmosphere. They streak across the sky one after another, like a successful end - the full stop of human scientific and technological civilization......

.............

The man opened his eyes. After looking up at the dimly lit surroundings, his consciousness gradually cleared.

"Ah~ numb! It's numb! The man's subconscious rubbing of his eyes brought back his perception of his arms, and the results were not pleasant.

After shaking his arm twice, the man walked over to the proprietress who was still lying on the ground. "Hostess? Are you okay? The man tentatively shouted at the proprietress and received no response.

Looking at the motionless proprietress of the house, the man did not act lightly, and he slowly retreated to the table. Maybe it's because of the dim environment, the man is inexplicably vigilant.

"19 o'clock! Slept all day!? Well? No signal? The man took out his phone to check the time, and the zero-bar signal discouraged him from making a call.

The man reluctantly turned off his phone and sat down. "Dah." He lit a cigarette and looked up at the ceiling in confusion.

A little red light flickered in the dim bun shop, flickering and dimly reflecting the man's uncertain face.

The cigarette burned out, and the man who had replenished the nicotine was still confused. "Alas~ I don't understand!" The man who had failed to think about the status quo sighed and decided to try to wake up the proprietress first.

"Hey! Wake up! If I don't wake up again, I'll run away, and I don't want the breakfast money? The man crouched down and began to shake the proprietress directly.

The hard work paid off, and the proprietress finally woke up, and she slowly got up, and then stared blankly at her hands.

Looking at the hollow eyes of the proprietress, the man suddenly had a sense of foreboding. He subconsciously took a step back and kicked the chair with a "bang~". The proprietress was originally blank and empty, and her eyes instantly focused on the man.

"Money~? Hot~? Hungry~? Sweetened~? Seed!! The proprietress watched the man say something, but her voice sounded indistinct, like a child's babbling.

Seeing the proprietress so weird, the man froze.

The proprietress didn't get a response for a long time, as if she was a little annoyed, so she clenched her fists and bared her teeth at the man. As the proprietress clenched her fists, two flames rose up!

The man was completely stunned, looking at the proprietress with flaming fists, he muttered: "Boss, your hand is on fire, do you want to see a doctor?" ”

He was answered by the deafening screams of the proprietress who said, "Yes! Then the proprietress pounced on the man.

The man subconsciously stepped back and turned sideways. "Bang!" The hostess and the table were intimately touched.

"That, boss, don't make trouble! I'm just here for breakfast, and I'm full, so I'll go first. In vain! Looking at the proprietress stuck between the table and chair, the man slowly retreated to the door.

Turning a deaf ear to the screams behind him, the man got out of the bun shop and hurried home.

"I'll go!" Although the scene of dozens of cars rear-ending on the road was spectacular, the man had no intention of stopping. Now he just wants to go home, home represents safety, and he needs a safe place to digest everything that has just happened.

As soon as he ran a few hundred meters, the man saw all sorts of bloody scenes. Under the car, on the side of the road, there are people with blurred flesh and blood.

He also saw people like the boss lady, using superpowers that only exist in the movie to fight people when they see them!

Until an even more terrifying scene came into the eyes of the man. It was a dog, as tall as a man! Crouching down next to a corpse and feasting! It was obviously eating deliciously, but it took the time to glance at the man. That bloodthirsty gaze frightened the man almost to his soul!

Anyway, there are so many things! But the men just glanced at it, and then ran by. As the old saying goes, meddling dies early. So, the man ran back to his neighborhood safely.

"Huh~huh~huh~" gasped sharply, and the man ended his 5-minute run. This is due to the 'unremitting efforts' of men who exercise only twice a year on average.

After a short rest, the man walked towards Building 30, where he lived.

Building 30 is 17 storeys high, with 10 rooms on each floor, each with an area of less than 50 square meters, and is an apartment building for rent in this community.

The man stopped more than ten meters away from the unit door, because there was a pile of mud lying between him and the unit door... The red and white mud blocked the man's path.

The man looked at the mud, and the mud seemed to look back at the man. Then the man threw up, and his eyes turned black when he vomited.

The mud must have been very high, the man thought as he looked up at the broken cameras on the streetlights in the neighborhood. Then, he stubbornly walked towards the mud. Based on the man's unknown profession, he wants to find out if there are anything of value.

After a difficult inner struggle, the men stood next to the mud and looked at each other for another second, which ended with the man vomiting again.

The so-called spit, spit, get used to it. The man felt that he was used to it, so he crouched down and began rummaging through the mud for valuable items. After a few simple fiddlings, the man got up and turned his head, "Gloss~!" "It seems that he still can't do ...

After three attempts to get used to it, the man finally managed to find the scrapped phone and a crystal with a gray shimmer from the mud. The crystals are spherical, about a cubic centimeter in size, and they are very attractive in their white and gentle manners.

Throw the phone back and put the crystal in your pocket. The man sneakily looked around, and when he was sure that there was no one around, he stepped over the mud and prepared to go home.

Walking through the unit door, the man found a vague bloodstain in front of the elevator. "8th floor...... Forget it, safety is important! After a slight hesitation, the man chose to climb the stairs.

"Whew~Whew~ No! It's really time to work out! Whew~ The last 8th floor is tired like this, whew~ It's counted! The man panted and went up to the 8th floor, took out the key, and prepared to open the house.

"I'll !! What a play this is! "Just as the man was inserting the key into the lock, a 'furry' lump came out of an open door in the hallway.

'Furry' saw the man and walked straight up. "Bear!! There's a bear in this building! Stand and walk! "After seeing the specific identity of 'furry', the man was eager to open the door.

But it turns out that the more anxious people are, the easier it is to make mistakes. The man screwed the key hard, but the key didn't move at all, it should be stuck. "I'm grass!" The man simply let go of the key, then turned around and ran.

"Hey! Don't run! I'm human! Feed! "When the bear saw that the man was about to run, he actually spat out!

"Huh?! Not only can you walk, but you can also talk! It's a fine thing! After the founding of the country, it is not allowed to become a fine? The man could clearly hear the bear calling to himself, but he didn't bother to pay attention. Full speed sprint! The man ran up the stairs and went straight down to the 5th floor.

"Huh~Huh~" The man who had just climbed over the 8th floor did not get his physical strength back, so he held on to the handrail and began to gasp again.

"Hey, don't run! I'm really human! I don't know what's going on, but when I wake up, it's like this. Feed! The bear's voice came down from above the stairs.

"Then I ask you! Which school to go to to learn excavator technology? If you get it right, I'll believe you! The man was skeptical, and decided to test it, and he asked a question as he walked down another level.

"Hah! Then you're really asking the right person, I'm driving an excavator. The answer is my alma mater - New Oriental! Xiong laughed, thinking that the question was too simple.

The man was stunned, and simply doubted life and returned. "Okay, I can barely believe you." The relieved man looked at the number 4 beside him and sighed heavily......

After laboriously unlocking the jammed door, a man and a bear entered the room.

"Uh~ sit on the bed. You tap! "The man felt that his bed was carrying a weight that it shouldn't have.

"Well, if you look closer, you can really see a trace of a human face. Can't you become a human again? The man sat down in front of the computer, pressed the power button, and then carefully studied the bear while waiting for the computer to start.

"How?" Xiong tilted his huge head and asked the man with an innocent expression.

"What do you ask me? I can't turn into a bear, how do I know how to turn back? The man stared helplessly at the computer screen and asked rhetorically without looking back. Also, can't you wear a pair of pants? Uh~ Forget it, when I didn't say it, I guess there are no clothes you can wear. ”

"Why don't you help me look it up on the Internet?" The bear touched his thick fur, not knowing what to do, and finally he decided to put his hopes on the Internet.

"Well, I wanted to check it for you, but it doesn't seem to be online. There is no cell phone signal either! What the hell is going on!? The man was so angry that he turned off the computer after three failed broadband connections.

"Huh? So what can I do? Alas~"The bear is distressed.

"That's right! Is there something in you? I can feel it drawing me in! The bear, who was still depressed, suddenly raised his head and sniffled.

"Huh? What's on your body? The man raised his eyebrows, and after groping around for a long time, he only found a mobile phone, a wallet, a cigarette, and a spherical crystal.

"That's right! That's it! I can feel it! Can you give it to me? I want to eat! "After the man took out the crystal, the bear couldn't take his eyes off it.

"This? This is what I picked up. You want to eat this?! The man was playing with the crystals, a little confused.

"Huh? Do you have two? I can feel it! You've got one more on you! Xiong said suddenly.

"Nope! I only picked up one! Are you okay? The man flatly denied it. He looked at the bear with great confusion and had some bad conjectures about the bear's mental state.

"Impossible! I can feel it! It's you, it's you... Excited by the bear, he lifted his paw to point out where the man had another crystal hidden. Then he was stunned, in his perception, the man's whole body was exuding the breath of crystals, as if, the man was another crystal!

"I, I, I'm sorry. Maybe I'm feeling wrong, don't care. But you can't go wrong with that! These crystals are absolutely delicious! The bear lowered his paws, but the look he gave the man a strange look.

"Why are you talking about it? Is this really something to eat? Hmm~ It's not very hard to the touch, it can't be sugar, right? The man pondered for a moment and came to his own conclusion. Then he threw the crystal directly into his mouth...

"It doesn't smell good." The man uses his tongue to spin the crystals in his mouth.

The bear watched as the man ate the crystals and swallowed his saliva. "Why don't you chew it?"

The man nodded and began to use his teeth against the crystal. "Uh~ I can't bite it."

"Then just swallow it!" The bear said through some gritted teeth.

"I..." The man hesitated.

"Then don't eat it! Spit it out to me! I eat! The bear's eyes lit up, and he felt hope again.

Looking at the bear's greedy and fiery gaze, the man relented. "Goo~" He swallowed the crystal.

The room seemed to stand still, and the bear and the man stared at each other.

After a few minutes, the bear couldn't help but speak. "How? Do you feel anything? ”

"No, nothing. You will not be ... "The man was suddenly swept up by the trap. The last trace of consciousness suddenly remembered: this thing didn't seem to have been washed. Gan!

……

In a dark and cramped room, the man sat up from the bed.

It's so dark. Well? What is Black? This is my bed. Well? What is a bed? I'm at home. Well? What is home? Rain? Bear? Mud? Cart? Blood? Cell phone? Bun? Computer? Staircase? Table? Key? I? What are they......

"Ah!!h Countless images collided with each other and shattered in the man's head. It seems that he remembers a lot of things but can't remember them, and the man is unusually irritable.

As the images in his mind became more and more chaotic, the man quieted down instead.

"Squeak~" The door was opened, and the "click~" room lit up.

The bear saw the man sitting on the bed, his eyes staring straight at the wall.

"Are you awake? Alas~ can scare me to death, are you okay? Why did you faint all of a sudden? Were you shouting just now? Feed! Why do you ignore me? The man ignored the bear's cries.

The bear scratched his head in confusion, walked to the side of the bed and stretched out his paws. When the bear's paw touched the man's shoulder, the man finally turned around. His empty eyes slowly focused on the bear's body, "Seed!" ”

The man's face began to turn pale, then the skin of his whole body, and the last wisps of white gas emanated from the pores of the man's body.

The bear opened his mouth slightly and shivered......
