Chapter 42: Amnesia

"Ahh

Zhen Xu woke up from his sleep suddenly, and sat up in fright. His head was covered in cold sweat, and he couldn't stop wheezing.

It took a minute for him to calm down a little, and then he kept turning his head to look around.

It was a clean and tidy bedroom, and he was the only one in the room.

It turned out to be a dream.

He let out a long exhale, wiped a handful of sweat, and smirked twice in relief.

He got out of bed, put on his slippers, went to the window, and opened the curtains, and the golden sunlight shone in, completely dispelling the last trace of gloom.

"Sunshine ......"

He muttered to himself a little blankly.

Thinking back to the nightmare just now, Zhen Xu couldn't help but laugh at himself and said, "You are so stupid, how can the sun not rise?" It was obviously a dream, but in the dream you were scared like that, so stupid, haha! ”

As the words fell, the room fell silent again.

It's too quiet.

Zhen Xu was suddenly startled and felt that something was wrong.

It was eerily quiet, so quiet that he could hear his own breathing and heartbeat.

Not only that, but the voice he made when he was talking to himself just now seemed to be a little strange, very dry, as if it was not his own voice.

Did the nightmare scare me out of my sickness?

He struggled to come up with a plausible explanation for the situation in front of him, and then he turned to look to find out where the mirror was.

However, there are no mirrors in this entire bedroom.

His gaze fell on the bed he had just been lying on. I didn't feel anything when I was lying on it just now, but now I think the bed is very unfamiliar.

It was a double bed, very large, and the futon on it was obviously unseen.

Wait, where is this?

He was startled and straightened up unconsciously.

It was clearly not his dorm room at school, nor was it his home.

What the hell is this place?

"Are you awake?"

At some point, a figure floated up behind him and said softly to him.

But at this moment, Zhen Xu was like a frightened bird, and although the voice was soft, it still startled him.

He screamed, turned to look, and saw that it was an old woman of about seventy years old, about the same age as his grandmother.

"Who are you?"

Zhen Xu stepped back vigilantly, he felt that this old woman was very dangerous, maybe she had imprisoned him.

"Alas......"

The old woman sighed, put the water cup and medicine bottle in her hand on the bedside table, looked at him with sad eyes, and said, "Zhen Xu, hasn't your condition improved at all?" ”

"What are you talking about? What is the condition? Who are you? ”

"You still don't remember me?" The old woman's expression became more and more sad, and tears faintly flashed in her eyes, "We have been married for decades, but in your eyes, am I just a stranger?" Have you lost even the memories of your college days? ”

"What did you say?"

Zhen Xu's horror almost drove him crazy.

What did she say? We've been married for decades? I'm just a nineteen-year-old college student, how can I be married for decades?

"You don't lie! Who are you? ”

"Zhen Xu......" The old woman's tears flowed, "I'm Jiao Qiao, we are college classmates, you still chased me back then, how can you forget me?" ”

"Jiao Qiao?" Zhen Xu became more and more shocked, and his jaw was about to drop, "Are you Jiao Qiao?" How did you...... Why are you so old? ”

He said this, but his eyes were looking at the person in front of him. Vaguely, he felt that her eyebrows and eyes were indeed very similar to Jiao Qiao.

Jiao Qiao took out a tissue from his pocket, wiped his tears, and said, "I'm seventy years old, of course old. ”

"You...... Are you seventy? Then I'...... What about me? ”

"You're seventy years old, of course."

"Impossible! No way! I'm only nineteen years old, I'm still very young, how can I wake up to be seventy? What about mirrors? I'm going to look in the mirror! ”

Zhen Xu roared wildly and rushed out the door.

Outside the door is a living room, which looks very clean and spacious, but at this moment, in Zhen Xu's eyes, there is only strangeness.

No, there are no mirrors in the living room.

He turned his head to see that there was a small door next to it, which was supposed to be the bathroom. He rushed in without thinking.

Sure enough, there was a mirror inside, and what was reflected in the mirror was his face.

An old, wrinkled face.

"It can't be!"

Zhen Xu is really going crazy. He had no way of believing that the person in the mirror was himself.

Suddenly, the horror in his eyes vanished, replaced by a somewhat sickly smile.

"Haha, this must be a dream! Definitely! By the way, this is the legendary serial dream, right? I think I've woken up, but I'm still dreaming. I've definitely watched too many horror movies lately, so I've been having nightmares continuously. Well, can't look at it again in the future. ”

He muttered to himself in the mirror, but Jiao Qiao came behind him again and said to him: "Back then, my uncle got news from within the Medical Association that an unknown virus had suddenly broken out, and mankind was about to suffer a catastrophe. He broke the news with our family, and we rushed overnight to a nearly completely closed underground sterile lab.

The original order of mankind has completely collapsed, and the school no longer exists. In the midst of precarious circumstances, we got married and stayed underground for the dawn of a new era.

It wasn't until last year, 50 years after the disaster, that the virus was completely eradicated and we were able to see the light of day again. However, you suffer from amnesia, forgetting everything that has happened in the past fifty years, and mistakenly thinking that you are still a nineteen-year-old college student. ”

Listening to Jiao Qiao's words, Zhen Xu was stunned.

Wasn't it a dream? Those weird things actually happened, but I forgot everything in 50 years? Wouldn't my life have disappeared for 50 years?

"Nope! You lie! Who are you? ”

Zhen Xu became furious, his fists waving in the air.

Jiao Qiao shed tears again and said: "Almost all of the classmates who participated in the event died back then, and only the two of us survived. ”

"Activity?" Zhen Xu's expression changed suddenly, "Do you climb the mountain to see the sunrise?" ”

"Yes, that time," Jiao Qiao nodded, "We watched them fall to the ground one by one, but we didn't understand why ...... at all."

Zhen Xu stood still, speechless for a long time.

Suddenly, he remembered something.

He remembered that a few days ago — if he didn't have amnesia — he had seen a post with the ID of the poster being "Mr. and Mrs. Roche" and a prophecy of the catastrophe that would come in the extinction of humanity.

At the time, he didn't take it seriously, but then similar news spread more and more, and similar content was everywhere on the Internet, and he couldn't help but be suspicious.

But now, he was thinking, who are the Roche couple? How did they know that humanity was about to be wiped out?
