"Gollum."

An inexplicable cold current seemed to freeze my blood, and the sound of saliva in my throat, which contracted violently unconsciously, echoed in the empty corridor. The corridor is dark and dim, and it is impossible to see through it, like a monster with bloody fangs open in the dark, staring at me coldly, choosing people to devour.

In the dim light, I could still see the messy scraps of paper and paper on the ground.

In my mind, there was a picture of the patients who came to see the doctor who were woken up by the urgent alarm, opened the door of the ward, and planned to ask the nurses and doctors, but found that the nurses and doctors were like fleeing from the famine, their steps were hurrying, and the documents in their hands were also scattered on the ground, and those patients only got simple information, and the hospital was no longer safe.

So, the patients fled the hospital like rats following the rapid footsteps of the nurses and doctors, and I was forgotten.

Perhaps, this is the only way to explain what I am seeing now, that I am desperately hypnotizing myself, that it is just a dream, but it seems inexplicably ridiculous, because I know that no dream can be so real.

I lifted my slightly stiff legs and took a few steps back gently, slowly, I don't know why I was so cautious, as if I was afraid of alarming something. Behind me is a transparent tempered glass window that opens and closes, so you can't see the inside from the outside, but you can see the outside from the inside. I urgently need to know what is going on outside, and all this tells me that I must not rush out blindly, there is no fire here, and there is no trace of an earthquake, which shows that it is definitely not a simple natural disaster, and the timid people are usually more cautious than ordinary people, and perhaps this is also one of my strengths.

I slowly moved to the window, and there was no sound, only the pounding heart was slightly uneasy.

My vision penetrated the transparent tempered glass, taking in all the scenery of the outside world, but all I saw was a dead silence!

There were no colorful neon lights, no long lines of traffic, no noisy crowds, I couldn't see anything visibly moving, and the whole world fell into dead silence.

The high-rise buildings stand like lifeless tombstones, as if they are paying tribute to the noisy world of yesterday and the people who suddenly disappeared.

I saw only a corner of the city, but it told me that the world I knew had become strange, and this strangeness could not help but make people despair.

Darkness finally came, I don't know how long my brain was blank, and when I woke up, I couldn't see the outside clearly, this was the real night, there was no hustle and bustle, no roar of motor vehicles, the whole world was shrouded in darkness, silent as an abyss!

It was as if my heart was being hit hard by a pacemaker, and I felt like I had forgotten to breathe, causing my brain to be dizzy due to lack of oxygen. But my body's reaction was quite normal, I subconsciously took out my phone from my trouser pocket, my fingertips trembled and slid on the screen, the phone screen lock that was so simple that I could usually unlock it took a lot of effort to untie it, I suppressed my heavy breath, clicked on the address book, and my fingertips stopped at the contact with the remark "Mom", and dialed it.

It doesn't work!

I was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but after discovering the reason for not being able to get through the phone, it was like being doused with a basin of cold and biting water that extinguished the fire in my heart, and made my heart as cold as a cold winter.

No signal!

The phone turned out to be no signal?

The lack of service displayed by the mobile phone, and the X displayed in the signal grid in the upper right corner of the screen, made me a little unbelievable that there is such a joke that there is no mobile phone signal in the city.

A sense of dizziness that surged over my heart like a flame made me feel like a victim falling from the edge of a cliff, thinking that I had grasped the life-saving grass on the cliff wall, but I found that this fear of death was even more desperate!

Unwillingness, fear, made me try again and again, and finally, the last trace of power on the phone was exhausted, trembled slightly, and automatically turned off.

Suddenly there was only darkness left in my world, and the last ray of light was squandered by me, and the endless darkness slapped at me like a raging wave, and I was an ant spinning around on a floating dead leaf in the waves, leaving only panic and confusion.

I never imagined that the darkness could be so terrible, that it would break my untempered will, and make me hopeless and helpless. I began to yearn for the light, which should give me a glimmer of courage, a little solace in this desperate collapse, I remembered the watch that spoke in my head, and I remembered its somewhat ridiculous self-introduction, its name was Star Core, it was from an alien planet, and it said that I was a prison guard, a hunter......

As if grasping at a life-saving straw, I slipped my depleted phone into my trouser pocket and began to fumble around the watch without any on/off buttons, trying to turn it back on. Gradually, my heart sank to the bottom with the passage of time, and instead of giving me hope and light, it pushed me hard and pushed me into the abyss when I was desperate.

"What should I do?"

Looking back at the window, I shuddered at the boundless, terrifying darkness.

"Gollum."

The empty abdomen was an inopportune reminder that it needed food, and it was protesting to me that it hadn't eaten in a long time.

Hunger dispels most of the fear in my mind, it lets me know that I'm alive, that it's not over, and that there's no need to be too pessimistic, because that would have no practical use other than scaring myself.

"Gollum."

It was still protesting at me, not in the slightest sympathetic to the frightened situation I was in, in this hospital where the smell of formalin was in the air, especially without any lighting, how could I go about finding food to satisfy it?

I glanced at the corridor that was inexplicably gloomy in the darkness, and the idea that had just arisen from my mind was decisively rejected, I didn't have the courage to use my hands as my own eyes to find food in the dark, the world was beyond my knowledge, and it was not a wise idea to easily put myself in danger, so I could only grieve my stomach for the time being.

I touched my shriveled abdomen, hoping to make it until tomorrow morning, and before that I might need to make a plan, I don't have a clue yet, but it's important, I reminded myself.

Thinking of this, my stiff limbs seemed to regain their strength, groping in the dark, returning to the ward where I had stayed, and after closing the door, I finally breathed a sigh of relief, this small space gave me a lot of security.

I put my shoulder bag on the head of the bed and went back to the bed, my body curling unnaturally, hoping to make the hunger in my abdomen lessen, but it still didn't work, hunger was a more torturous physical reaction than illness, it made me toss and turn, manic, and I could only try to think of other things to distract myself.

What has become of the outside?

Mom, Dad, are you okay?

I can't imagine that the whole world could become what I saw, and the whole world would fall into dead silence, and I couldn't imagine my parents......

I'm starting to feel annoyed and regret if I could have spent more time with them...... The son wanted to raise but the parent was not there, and I began to understand and understand the meaning of this sentence.

Obviously, no matter how much I repented, I couldn't turn back time, but I forgot about hunger for a while, and I began to wonder what made the world the way it was, as if it all had a lot to do with the watch in my hand......

I began to recall and value the words it had left in my mind:

Earth was chosen by the Great Prison Master to become a place of exile for interstellar criminals, and he was chosen to be a prison guard to maintain order, and humans are hunters and prey at the same time......

It's like a plot in a science fiction movie, what kind of big prison master, interstellar criminal, prison guard, I have never heard of it, I don't know what they have to do with hunters, prey, but it sounds like aliens have invaded the earth......

My mind was a little confused and I couldn't sort out the words one by one, but the uneasiness in my heart told me that I should believe because something impossible was already starting to happen......

Even if everything isn't what I imagined, I need to be mentally prepared, but I prefer it to be just a dream. Perhaps, it was really just a dream, a real dream, and when I woke up, everything would return to the way it was, and I kept comforting myself and hypnotizing myself.

At some point, I fell asleep and woke up in the middle of the night wishing it had all passed, but reality always turned out to be the opposite. There was still a dead silence all around, hunger made me more anxious, the oppressive atmosphere of darkness was devastating, and I finally realized how terrible the world of the blind really was, and I didn't know how I stayed up from midnight to dawn.

When the first rays of sunlight penetrated through the cracks between the curtains, like a mischievous elf, I was reborn, and I had a slight admiration for it, and I had never looked forward to its arrival so much.

I lifted the covers, quickly put on my shoes, and moistened my severely chapped lips with my tongue, if it weren't for the fact that I couldn't even pump tap water in the bathroom, I wouldn't have had to suffer so much.

In the face of hunger, all fear and anxiety were temporarily put behind me, and I hurried to the window, opened the curtains, and finally the golden sunlight poured in, filling the slightly gray and oppressive ward. I glanced out the window, and as I saw yesterday, there were no moving objects, and I probably didn't need to go too far, and I should be able to find something to eat at any convenience store. But before I can do that, I'll definitely need to find some weapons to defend myself from.

After opening the door to the room, taking a few deep breaths, I finally walked out, closed the door slightly, and began to carefully explore the empty hospital. The wind howled last night, and the morning was a little cold, so I couldn't help but bend my neck and fold my arms to warm up, and the sound of my footsteps echoed in the empty hallway, knocking on my heart.

Glancing at the signs in the hallway, I knew that I was on the fourth floor of the hospital, where should I go to find a guy to defend myself? I glanced at the fire extinguisher in the corner and shook my head, it was too heavy. I looked at the mop that fell next to the wall, and denied it again, and there was no actual lethality.

Because there is no electricity, the elevator cannot be taken, of course, even if there is electricity, I don't dare. Pushed open the door of the fire escape on the side, I saw a fire box painted with red paint on the wall of the corridor, and subconsciously bowed down to look inside when I walked by, but I was pleasantly surprised to find that there was a fire axe with red paint all over it.

In the fire hallway, the sound of my footsteps echoed one by one, even though I was so hungry that I could swallow the dirt chips, I didn't dare to speed up my pace of foraging, and the fire axe painted with bright red paint in my hand gave me a sense of security, but it did not give me extra courage and strength.

I don't think I would have made such a risky decision without a thorough understanding of the situation if it weren't for my hunger, my body was already weak enough to feel weak after only two floors down, let alone holding a fire axe in my hand that would have exhausted me with two swings in my current physical condition.

I thought that the fire axe would make my safety more secure, but I didn't want it to become a burden, but I wasn't stupid enough to throw it away just to save effort.

Coming down from the fourth floor, I felt that my legs were a little weak, which was not possible before, because I had always focused more on my physical fitness, although the reason was because I wanted to have a body that would fascinate women.

I opened the door of the fire escape leading to the hospital hall, and a dark wind blew on my face, with a pinprick stinging pain, which made me shiver and clench the fire axe at the same time, and a thin layer of sweat had oozed from the corners of my forehead under the inexplicable mental pressure.

After seeing that the hall was empty and messy as if it had been looted, I breathed a sigh of relief for no reason, a gust of cold wind blew in through the crack of the half-opened automatic door, rolled up the confetti on the ground, spun in mid-air, and then fell again, I watched around vigilantly, my eyes tried to catch the danger hidden in the shadows, I stayed in the hospital hall for about a minute, I began to move towards the automatic opening and closing door leading to the outside world, and after observing for a moment, I confirmed that there was indeed no danger, and then I stepped out the door.

The fire axe in my hand has been holding tightly and not daring to relax for a moment, especially when I went down the steps and found that the puddle of blood that seemed to be splashed on the side of the steps had been dark red and black, it made my heart inexplicably tight, and I subconsciously thought of many conclusions, this may be the crowd squeezing and stampede time when fleeing in a panic, but they have already arrived outside the door, this possibility is very small. Unless something else happened, maybe someone committed a murder, man-made? Still is?
