Chen Xiao walked to the next room and knocked on the door, but no one responded for a long time.

With a heartbeat, he took out a hammer from the living room and smashed it with all his might, smashing the door open.

The room was empty, and there was not a single figure.

What about people?

Chen Xiao, who was unwilling, ran to the opposite side, and didn't care whether he disturbed the people or not, and knocked it layer by layer.

It wasn't until dawn that he looked out at the empty street and learned a startling fact: he was the only one left in the building.

No, maybe he was the only one left in the city, like the end of the world.

"Hey, anyone?" Chen Xiao roared into the street, but no one responded.

He stood on the street, speechless in shock, and what he saw was so contrary to common sense that he was caught off guard.

After staying in place for a while, Chen Xiao, who had no clue, thought of the experience of being "killed" by Fang Cai, and had to return to the rented room.

"Let's wait and see what happens."

He is a person who is very afraid of trouble, and everything is how simple it is.

For example, when he goes out to eat, he always finds the restaurant closest to his home. To get to work, choose the most convenient route to transfer to the nearest one; When you buy something, you buy it and never bargain for it......

The current situation is obviously the easiest way to go home.

Lying on the bed, Chen Xiao couldn't help but think about what had just happened, and then he remembered the "blood red", would his resurrection from the dead have anything to do with it?

After this verification, this thing only appeared in his field of vision when he consciously called out.

"Blood Red!" Chen Xiao said silently in his heart.

Under his gaze, there was still a red status bar and a transparent box.

So far, Chen Xiao has not studied what kind of thing it is, how to use it, and there is no manual for reference.

For this inexplicable thing, Chen Xiao is not sure whether it is good or bad, he can only take one step at a time.

Chen Xiao stared at the ceiling in a daze, and time passed bit by bit.

I don't know how long it took, but at this time, the "blood red" in his sight suddenly flashed.

A line of small text appears in the lower right corner: "Memory preservation begins." ”

“……”

"Memory preservation succeeded."

Chen Xiao's brows were furrowed, and he was a little puzzled. A familiar movement reached Chen Xiao's ears.

"It's ......"

In the room, Chen Xiao, who was still asleep, woke up suddenly, and his mind was dizzy for a while, as if he had had an extremely real dream. He got out of bed, walked to the window and looked out, only to see the lights downstairs and taxis walking through the streets.

Seeing these scenes, Chen Xiao walked out of the door with doubts, and saw that the door next door that he had smashed open before had been restored.

Looking at the time on the phone again, it has become July 9th, and the second hand is beating in an orderly manner.

Chen Xiao said in his heart: "Then everything is a dream?" But why is it so real, I remember all the details clearly, I died once? ”

"Blood red." Chen Xiao tried to call out in his heart.

In the midst of his doubts, the interface of "blood red", which he had seen many times, resurfaced in his sight, and when this interface appeared, Chen Xiao finally understood that everything was real, not a dream.

"What kind of world am I into?"

Chen Xiao suddenly felt a little uneasy, and that strange and terrifying appearance lingered in his mind.

"Oh no, it's half past seven." Just thinking about it, the alarm clock at Chen Xiao's bedside had already sounded, and he hurriedly went to the bathroom to wash. There was only one bathroom in this house, and he had to use it early, otherwise he would be late when the next door neighbor ran out.

It took half an hour to wash up, buy two slices of bread downstairs, run to catch the bus, and then transfer to Line 1 at the subway station to the company building.

After taking the elevator to the sixth floor at exactly 8:59 a.m., I clocked in as usual and started my day's work at my desk.

As soon as he arrived at the company, Lao Wang came over and asked with concern: "Why is your face so bad, are you okay?" ”

"I had a nightmare last night and was fine."

Lao Wang sat next to Chen Xiao, he was a good man in the company, and the others in the group asked him for help without seeing him refuse. Chen Xiao didn't like this feeling of taking things for granted, so he rarely bothered Lao Wang, and even sometimes gave him some work to reduce his burden.

Over time, Lao Wang regarded him as a friend, and the relationship between the two was okay in private. But a colleague is a colleague after all, no matter how good the relationship is, it is only to the end, and then go up a little more to become a confidant, Chen Xiao asked himself if he couldn't do it.

Lao Wang nodded and said, "Are you free at night, let's drink it and give you a shock?" ”

Chen Xiao refused without thinking about it, compared to dinner parties and team building, Chen Xiao preferred to stay at home alone. His trouble-free personality can also be called "social phobia", which can be summed up in one word as "otaku".

Of course, there is a deeper reason for not wanting to go out, that is, poverty. Now he has no money to go out to wander, and there is a monetary cost to socialize.

Chen Xiao continued to do his same boring work, and after last night's incident, Chen Xiao was a little absent-minded and imaginary when he started his work.

He was really tired of this mechanical life. With no promotions and no salary increases, it's hard for him to imagine the rest of his life like this, it's desperate. The sudden appearance of variables in his life made him even more disgusted with this kind of life.

stayed up until half past six in the afternoon, Chen Xiao completed all the scheduled work plans for today, closed the computer and said goodbye to Lao Wang, and returned home after squeezing the subway through steel and concrete.

Chen Xiao left his briefcase still on the table, then fell down with his head up, lying on the bed with a "big" character, staring at the ceiling.

He subconsciously woke up "Blood Red".

In his field of vision, a long cylindrical bar and an empty transparent box appeared, but nothing else.

What "blood red" can bring him, Chen Xiao thought about it for a while, but he couldn't find any answer after all.

Such a boring and boring life lasted for two months, and Chen Xiao had long forgotten everything that happened that day, and his life was calm again.

Summer has just passed, the heat is still there, and there is a bit of irritability in the air.

Chen Xiao was upset in bed, his right eyelid kept beating, and he always felt that something bad was happening.

After looking at the time, it was already 11 o'clock in the middle of the night.

"Could it be ......" Chen Xiao, who was on a whim, called out in his heart: "Blood red." ”

In Chen Xiao's sight, the familiar columnar status bar and transparent box resurfaced.

However, unlike before, a countdown of Arabic numerals appears in the center of the line of sight.

“3！”

“2！”

“1！”

“0！”

When the number jumps to "0", the whole world seems to fall silent.

What about the noise, the roar of cars that used to be so noisy that I couldn't sleep?

At this moment, a needle drop could be heard in the room, and Chen Xiao's ears could even hear the sound of his own heartbeat.

Chen Xiao got out of bed, opened the curtains, and saw that the road downstairs was empty, except for the car parked on the side of the road, there was no shadow of a car on the main road.

In the past, even at two or three o'clock in the morning, there was still a constant flow of people.

A violent sense of disobedience came to his face, which caught Chen Xiao off guard.

"Here we go again." He had in his mind the man with the black flame in his hand on the roof.

Once again, the city suffered a major power outage, and the moonlight covered the city with a veil of grace. Looking down from the sky, much of the city was immersed in darkness, with only the towering parts bathed in moonlight, and the low buildings and alleys swallowed up by the darkness, obscured from the moon's light, and the vast expanses of darkness were as rough as the waves of the sea.

"Do you want to go out and have a look?" His heart swayed back and forth, and he finally gave up on the idea of staying outside and exploring, and he always felt that there was an unknown danger in the darkness that terrified him.

Chen Xiao, who closed his eyes again, was even more unintentional about sleeping. The next day, at dawn, he got up, washed and dressed.

Chen Xiao stood on the balcony and observed for a while, but there were still no pedestrians on the road, and it was empty.

At this moment, his expression became solemn, and he was a little uneasy.

"If it's like this every time, staying in the house all the time isn't an option, I need to know what's going on, especially the weirdness. Maybe there are opportunities I didn't think of. ”

The strange appearance of the tree tumor appeared in his mind, and after thinking about it for a long time, Chen Xiao finally made up his mind.

He went to the kitchen and took a fruit knife that was easy to carry with him, just in case of an accident.

Walking downstairs and looking at the empty street, Chen Xiao was nervous.

Chen Xiao walked along the road all the way, he only confirmed one fact, many people in this city have indeed disappeared, and he seems to be the only person in the city.

Some of the doors of the small supermarkets on the road are still open.

Chen Xiao did not hesitate to get in, put the fresh water and dry food in the supermarket in his backpack, and prepared a little food to ensure basic survival, in case of emergencies, he could last for a while.

"Let's go to the company first."

Chen Xiao looked at the sky and estimated that it was about seven or eight o'clock in the morning.

Chen Xiao walked to the car parked on the side of the road, pulled the door with his hand, locked, without a key, even if the window was broken, these cars would not be used at all. Today's cars are equipped with anti-theft systems.

He went back to the shop he had just visited, trying his luck inside to see if he had any electric motorcycle keys or something.

Unexpectedly, he was really lucky to find a bunch of keys in the counter at the front desk.

After getting the key and fumbling around outside, I finally found an electric motorcycle screaming.

After riding an electric motorcycle for more than half an hour, Chen Xiao arrived downstairs in the company.

His company in the CBD, there are many large shopping malls and office buildings nearby, and there is no one in such a morning rush hour. Fortunately, he had the last experience and was not panicking.

I climbed the stairs to the sixth floor and found that there was movement in the company.

Someone in the company.

Chen Xiao was immediately overjoyed.
