Humanity has strangled everything in order to survive,

It will eventually be killed by everything.

The five of us lay limp in the living room of the cabin, neither able to speak nor crawl, but just tugging at the shriveled skin like mummies, breathing for the rest of our breath.

Perhaps it was the hunger that drove them all crazy, and they were like animals, gnawing at the wooden furniture and household items in the room with their teeth. And I, too, went crazy, and like them, kept chewing on the filthy round table legs and swallowing the holsters on the chairs in order to survive......

It turns out that people can really do anything in the face of life and death, and they can really give up any dignity, just like a beast.

June 27, 2050 at 9 a.m. sharp.

As I sat at the back of the hut and looked at the wooden sign I had inserted in the drizzly soil, I suddenly noticed something unusual.

I hurriedly picked up the soil and looked at Xiaoyu's corpse, and at that moment, I cried heartbreakingly. Yes, I cried out in my heart - one of her hands was gone, and I think I should also know that in this environment, there are "jackals, tigers and leopards" all around.

They have long since become vicious, and they have long since lost their minds, and they have been reduced from humans to demons, roaring in the underworld one by one.

And I will eventually become a devil, just because I am alive, we all want to live, live in the yearning for tomorrow, live in the fear of death.

My stomach began to churn and hurt, stomach acid eroded the lining of my stomach, and I clutched my stomach and fell next to Xiaoyu.

I'm sorry...... I'm sorry...... I'm sorry...... I'm sorry...... I still want to live, I want to live with Arthur and them, to live tomorrow, to live in the future, and you are dead.

God, it was raining heavily, soaking my whole body, and I apologized to Xiaoyu over and over again in tears in my heart, and raised her arm......

June 27, 2050 at 23:58 PM

I lay on the bed, alone in tears, clutching the bed board with my fingernails. Suddenly a fierce wind blew outside the window, and the window was shaken and "creaked".

Could it be that Yin Ji is back?

I immediately got up and rushed to the window, only to see Xiaoyu floating by the window in a white dress, looking into my eyes.

"Xiaoyu, I'm sorry...... Sorry ......"

Seeing her face, I fell to my knees and reached out to beg her for forgiveness.

She didn't speak, but pounced on me, holding my head and gently stroking it on her chest.

"You...... Don't you hate me? ”

Xiaoyu shook her head and smiled at me like an angel. Her smile seemed to tell me that as long as I lived, as long as we lived, it would be the happiest thing for her.

I, crying, tears streaming down my cheeks.

I slowly opened my eyes and felt the bed underneath me, knowing that it was all a dream and that she would never blame me.

But I blame myself, and I have to take this sin with me and try to live it, to live tomorrow, to live in a future where I can blame myself every day.

June 28, 2050 at 10:27 a.m

Wu Han disappeared from this house, and Zhou Qiuxian also disappeared from this house. The three of us hurried to find them, and finally saw them on the bridge in the beast area.

At the moment when we were about to approach, Wu Han fell off the bridge. Zhou Qiuxian turned around and looked at us in horror, she shook her head and shouted at us, "It's not me, it's not me......" She said this, accidentally stepping on the wooden plank behind her, and screaming and falling into the rushing river under the bridge, being swept into the distance.

We only found Wu Han's body, but we didn't find Zhou Qiuxian's body in the river, Yu Bo said that maybe she was washed into the ocean through the river, but I vaguely felt that maybe she wasn't dead, maybe she was still alive.

June 28, 2050 at 14:11 p.m

Arthur sat on the beach and looked out at the sea, while I stood behind her and watched her quietly.

The sea was pounding in our ears, and she staggered to her feet, slowly walking towards the waves.

"Arthur!"

I threw myself at her in a panic, grabbed her by the arm, took her into my arms, and said to her:

"What are you going to do! We're not dead, we're still alive! ”

She lowered her head, barely squeezed out a smile, and fooled me: "No, you misunderstood, I just wanted to see this sea more clearly and imprint her in the depths of my brain." ”

"Don't lie to me, your expression has betrayed you a long time ago!" I yelled at her.

But she suddenly burst into tears, grabbed my clothes, and cried hoarsely.

I kissed her the lips, hugged her waist tremblingly, and whispered in her ear: "We will live, live tomorrow, live in the future, where there are no laboratories, no islands, no death, and no seas." ”

"Well, I believe in you, I have always believed in you from the past to the present, and I only believe in you."

She hugged my waist, calmed down, and kissed me again, and I don't know how long it was, and we melted together like this, standing still in time.

We just sat on the beach, watching the tide rise and fall, watching the dusk and sunset, it was like our destiny, gradually sinking into the darkness......

June 28, 2050 at 18:08 PM

Yu Bo sat in the hall, tinkering with the radio with his tools. He first lay down in front of the radio, pressing the buttons on it, and then pricked up his ears to listen carefully to the sound coming from the radio. I heard him suddenly scream, and then he looked at us with excitement on his face, waved to us, and said, "Come, come!" Listen, is there a radio sound? ”

We hurried to Yu Bo, put our ears in front of the radio, and listened carefully to the sound coming from the radio. However, after a "squeak" noise, we clearly heard this news from the other end of the radio: "According to the disaster relief department...... According to the disaster relief department...... Eight bodies were found on an uninhabited island far from Chinese mainland on August 1, 2050. One of them, identified as the latest to die, died at 22:00 on June 29, 2050, near the island's volcano......"

"News from August 1st?! How can it be?! Right now...... It's only June 28th. Arthur's eyes widened, unable to believe what he heard on the radio.

Yu Bo pondered for a while and said to himself: "August 1st...... There were eight bodies...... In the vicinity of the volcano......" he suddenly thought of something and said excitedly: "That's it, so it's so!" ”

We looked at him inexplicably, completely unaware of what he meant.

He immediately explained to us: "August 1st, now only June 28th, this is a piece of news from the future. Of the eight corpses, there were only seven of us, indicating that there was an eighth person on the island that we didn't know existed. But how exactly did this eighth man stay alive? And why can't we find him even though we've searched the whole island? I think the key lies in that volcano. ”

"The volcano?" Arthur and I said in unison.

Yu Bo nodded and continued, "Yes, that volcano. You think, there are three of us and there is only one person, and there is only one person who has clearly stated in the news that there is an accident at the site of the volcano, so it can't be us but him. But why did he go over? I think there's only one reason, and that's that there's food there to keep us alive, and that if we make it until August 1st, which is the time of the news, we'll be rescued and get out of the island. ”

Yu Bo's words are the first to be true, so that we can't refute them.

But it's just a little strange, why do we hear the news on August 1st on June 28th? Could it be that this band has crossed? Or are we accidentally connected to the future?

And who is the extra one? Is it Yin Ji? Or someone else we don't know......

I don't know. I can't know anything.

Yu Bo glanced at us, and knew that we had agreed with his idea from the bottom of our hearts, and he said his thoughts: "In this case, I think that in order to survive, we must find the hidden food before the eighth man, and take it away. Then the problem is, even if we know that the food is near the volcano, but the volcano is so big, with just the three of us, the probability of finding it is extremely low, so we have to find him as a person, and take the food before him. ”

"But how can we find him and take the food before him?" Arthur asked, puzzled.

Yu Bo smiled and wrote down the time broadcast in the news just now on the paper: 22 o'clock on June 29

In other words, he will definitely come to this volcano at 22 o'clock on June 29. And we're going to get there one o'clock before that, lie in ambush around the volcano and flee before 10 p.m. ”

"Why do we have to flee before 10 p.m.?" Arthur asked, confused.

Yu Bo glanced at Arthur and replied, "Because he will die at 22 o'clock, and we don't know what will happen at 22 o'clock." ”

"Hmm. What you say makes a lot of sense, so let's do as you say, we are ambushed near the extinct volcano before 22 o'clock. ”

"What about your opinion? Char. Yu Bo looked at me.

"I, no comment." I replied.

"Okay, since that's the case, it's decided, tomorrow night at 21 o'clock we will ambush here on time." Yu Bo pointed to the volcano symbol he had drawn improvised on the paper, and said to us like a commander.

We nodded in agreement, and then we went back to our rooms.

June 29, 2050 at 1:10 a.m

I suddenly heard a slight knock on the door and immediately jumped out of bed. Thinking about it: Is it Yin Ji?

With that in mind, I quickly walked to the door and pulled the door open.

She, standing in front of me, held a pillow in her arms, lowered her head very low, and looked listless.

She is not Yin Ji, but Arthur.

"What's wrong? Why did you come to me so late? I smiled and opened the door and motioned for her to come in and sit down.

Arthur walked in, suddenly hugged me and pressed me to the bed, lying on top of me and crying.

"If there is no future after tomorrow, would you like to say you love me now?"

I didn't understand what she meant, I just stretched out my hands and slowly touched her head: "What stupid things are you talking about, we will all live, we will have to live for a long, long time, until one day we really can't walk, our teeth are gone, and people have become Alzheimer's, this will be death." ”

Arthur laughed and hammered my chest: "You really know how to tell jokes. ”

"I'm not talking about a joke." I retorted.

"Well, I believe, I said I only believed you." She, kissed up, so hot, so irresistible.

I couldn't believe that my body had accepted her. I always thought that I was a principled man and would not do such things easily, but when she said these words to me, her tears seemed to flow into my heart, which made my heart ache, and I couldn't stop wanting to hug her, hold her tightly, even if it was only for this moment, even if it was really like what she said, there would be no future after tomorrow, and I didn't want to stop now, stop in the despair between me and her.

Arthur suddenly fell asleep, and she lay down in my arms and fell asleep quietly.

I, stroking her head, there was a trace of tears in the corners of her eyes, and I couldn't help but shed tears from the corners of my eyes, dripping on her face.

I want to have tomorrow, I want to live tomorrow with her, if there is really a God in this world, can you hear my prayers, can you let us live.

June 29, 2050 at 10:11 a.m

When I woke up, the bed next to me was empty. I touched it, and the bed was cold, as if she had never been here.

I lifted the covers, slowly walked to the window, and looked out of the window—it was cloudy and foggy outside.

The weather was the same as my mood, there was an indescribable haze.

I, shaking my head, gripped the window stalk tightly.

"Knock knock."

Arthur walked in, and I looked back at her, and she had a red rope in her hand and slowly walked up to me.

She smiled and tied one end of the red rope to my wrist and the other end of the red rope to her own wrist.

She raised her hand high, took a pair of scissors to cut the red rope from the middle, looked at the red rope, and said to me: "You one, I one, so that you can't run anywhere, you will always be my person, and you will never forget to love me." ”

"Hmm......" I smiled and nodded, and looked out the window with her at the thick fog, we held each other's hands, in despair expecting the light that pierced the sky.

June 29, 2050 at 19 p.m.

Arthur and I sat nervously in our wooden chairs, waiting for Yu Bo's instructions. Yu Bo stared at his watch, and when the hour hand of the watch was exactly 7 o'clock, he suddenly said, "Let's go!" ”

We put on our tools and followed him to the road, the road to the extinct volcano.

June 29, 2050 at 20:30 p.m

The three of us came to the vicinity of the extinct volcano, hid ourselves, and secretly watched the surrounding area of the volcano from three angles. Time passed minute by minute, but there was no movement there, no one came, and no wind or grass was blowing.

Drops of sweat kept pouring out of my head, dripping down to the ground. For some reason, my heart suddenly began to froze, and a wave of uneasiness came at me, disturbing my whole being.

June 29, 2050 at 21:30 p.m

The surroundings became darker and darker, and there was no trace of the moon, and the unknown eighth person still did not appear.

Suddenly, the ground shook violently, and I looked at the extinct volcano in front of me—it was as silent as death, but it spewed out puffs of smoke that filled the sky.

"Yubo! You...... Didn't you say it, that it was an extinct volcano?! Why ...... now? Now it looks like it's going to explode! ”

I stood up excitedly, pointed to the volcano in front of me, and questioned him.

He slowly stood up, looked up at the black smoke crater with cold eyes, and suddenly laughed: "This is an active volcano, of course it will erupt." ”

"An active volcano?! What did you say?! Active volcano?! Why are you lying to us......" As soon as I said this, I suddenly looked around as if I had a sudden realization, and asked him in horror, "Is it ...... Don't...... You said that the unknown eighth man would come here tonight, and you lied to us? ”

"Huh." He smiled coldly, and instead of answering my question, he ran quickly to Arthur, grabbed her by the neck with one hand, and held her hostage in front of me.
