"It's not dawn yet?"

Xu Hua opened his eyes in a haze, only to feel that his eyes were still a little sleepy and sour,

But I didn't see the morning sun that should have been in the window when the alarm clock rang.

It even feels like the room is darker than before bedtime,

It was so dim that he couldn't see anything in the room.

He reached out and fumbled, trying to turn off the screeching alarm.

The alarm sounded like it was buzzing in his ears.

He touched the head of the bed, and after touching the edge of the bedside table,

The phone is on the bedside table,

He touched it,

He picked up his phone and wanted to tap 'Stop' on the phone screen to turn off the alarm as usual.

But then, he stopped.

He didn't see anything in front of him.

Obviously, I can clearly feel the vibration of the mobile phone in my hand, and I can hear a piercing alarm in my ears.

But he didn't see the light that the phone screen should emit when it lit up.

He couldn't even see the faint shadow of his own arm.

There was only the same darkness as ever.

I'm still in a nightmare?

Xu Hua fell into great fear, and his heart felt like he had fallen into a bottomless abyss.

It's like a drowning man, struggling desperately,

Fear woke him up, and Xu Hua, who was not sleepy, retreated and propped up his body with his arms.

Reaching out and fumbling around the bed, it took a few times to touch the light switch in the room.

"Smack."

The switch of the light is turned on,

But Xu Hua's eyes still haven't changed, it's still dark,

Xu Hua turned his head again and looked out of the original window of the bedroom room,

I couldn't see the window where it should be, it was still just darkness.

Xu Hua paused again,

Great fear spread in the bottom of his heart,

This is the fear that a normal person has lost a sense of perception,

He seems to be blind?

He couldn't see anything anymore.

He sat at the head of the bed and never left the bed.

His mind couldn't help but think about what he would do in the future,

But the inertia that has always come makes him not so sad, just fear and helplessness, and an unreal sense of the sudden arrival of things.

forced himself to barely calm down and think, so he was still sitting on the bed,

He knew that the familiar house would become strange when he lost his sight.

"Hoo ......"

Xu Hua, who had barely calmed down, half lay at the head of the bed and exhaled.

At this time, the previous hazy sleepiness was completely gone, and some sounds in my ears were heard more clearly.

Even the alarm clock was not turned off at this time, and it was still ringing harshly.

In addition to the sound of the alarm clock, there were some other noisy noises throughout the building.

“…… There is no one! There is no one! ”

“…… Boom! ”

This is the shout of someone in the building,

Then what appeared to be some piece of furniture upstairs fell to the ground with a dull thud.

Wrong......

Feeling the strangeness of the noise upstairs and downstairs, Xu Hua calmed down again,

fumbled to the button on the side of the phone, turned off the screeching alarm clock,

The sound in the building was clearer, and the noisy sound even buzzed in Xu Hua's ears.

“…… Is there anyone else in the building? I can't see it anymore! What should I do...... There is no one! ”

“…… Don't you see it either? Isn't it for others to see it either! My wife and I can't see anything anymore! ”

Listening to these voices,

Xu Hua paused,

Others have lost their vision too?

How is that possible, how can it be...... Suddenly, so many people suddenly lost their vision.

What happened?

“…… Everyone should calm down, stay where they are, and do not move their positions, so as not to cause danger because they cannot see anything. ”

Xu Hua had a lot of thoughts in his heart, because he didn't even have time to be afraid of this abnormal phenomenon, frowning and thinking about it.

At the same time, he shouted.

“…… I know...... You say, what happened? ”

There is the same building, and the people upstairs and downstairs are answering with tremors in their voices.

yes, what happened?

Can so many people collectively lose their vision?

Is it just our building, or the whole community, or ......

The speculation in Xu Hua's heart made him more worried about the unknown,

He remembered that when he had just woken up, he heard the sound of heavy objects colliding outside the house,

It seems to be outside the community...... There is a car accident happening, so ......

Just when Xu Hua frowned and thought, when he was uneasy, when the others were worried,

Outside the house, the voice of words sounded again,

It should have come from the loudspeaker in the community,

“…… Citizens, ladies and gentlemen, friends. ”

“…… Citizens, ladies and gentlemen, friends. ”

The sound from the loudspeakers echoed throughout the neighborhood, and the same sound could be heard from other streets in the neighborhood in the distance.

“…… I am the head of this country. ”

The familiar voice coming from outside the house made people feel relieved at first,

But it is even more brilliant when it comes next.

can make a head of state speak in this way at this time,

There must have been a very serious disaster,

Xu Hua's heart was sinking.

And then, the words spoken by the familiar voice that spread through the loudspeaker outside the house also confirmed Xu Hua's conjecture.

“…… We have suffered a catastrophe that has never been done before. Many of us may have lost our vision. ”

“…… If you are in a safe location indoors, stay where you are for a while to avoid further danger.

If you're outdoors, get back to a relatively safe place as soon as possible, and stay where you are for the time being if you're unsure.

If you're in danger......"

Listening to the Führer's speech, Xu Hua's heart sank more and more.

If only he had a loss of vision,

Then it will be a little difficult and troublesome for him to live alone in the future.

If it is only the residents of one building who lose their vision, it may be that the people of this building have temporarily lost their production capacity.

But if it's more, a larger range,

…… Many people have lost their vision, how much is it?

A city, a province, or the whole world,

A million, a million, or everyone?

If all of a sudden, everyone loses their sight,

It will be the shutdown of the productive capacity of society, the collapse of order, and even the collapse of society.

Because the production of society needs people, and the maintenance of order needs people.

Every aspect of society needs to be maintained, and vision is just as important as the foundation for people to do these things.

Let's just say that there should be a car accident on the street outside the community now.

Maybe you can call the emergency number now,

But even if someone answers, who will come to the rescue of the person who has been in the car accident?

How does the emergency doctor who has lost his vision come over and drive? Or walking? Navigation may tell them where to go, but it's sure to stumble along the way.

Even if it arrives, how to rescue? Let the emergency doctor, who has lost his vision, fumble to give the person who was in the car accident to be rescued?

Not to mention the problems of society as a whole.

And after a long time, if such a thing happens again, it is impossible to even call the emergency number.

The maintenance of communication base stations also needs to be carried out.

It would be a great catastrophe, even the end of the world.

If in a short period of time, the whole society will not be able to adapt to this change and maintain the operation of the whole society.

What is coming is to be a predictable collapse and chaos.

“…… As a result of this disaster, which has affected the whole society, the whole society will temporarily implement the military control and rationing system for the next period of time. ”

“…… If you don't have food at home, don't worry, the state will do everything it can to ensure supplies. ”

“…… At the same time, nationwide, except for special departments and essential units, temporary vacations, if there are no accidents, please do not go out for the time being.

We are facing this unprecedented catastrophe, which requires the joint efforts and support of all of us to overcome. ”

Outside, the sound coming from the loudspeaker continued,

Xu Hua pondered, turned his head and looked in the direction of the sound coming from outside the house,

“…… In the future, experts will continue to broadcast to you how to use things that you need to use in your daily life after you lose your vision. ”

“…… Hello everyone. First of all, let me tell you how to use your phone after losing your vision. ”

The voice that came out of the radio was obviously a different person, and he began to teach some ways to deal with some things in the case of the visually impaired.

Xu Hua also fumbled with his mobile phone and picked it up.

"First of all, Xia Wei is the phone."

“…… Call the voice assistant, and after the call is out, switch to visually impaired mode. When you switch to visually impaired mode, your phone will read the text you tap.

If you do not have any special Internet access needs, it is also recommended to switch to easy mode to avoid accidental touches.

If you are unable to switch to this mode on your own, you can seek help from others. If you switch on your own and there are people around you who need help, please try to help......"

Xu Hua switched his mobile phone to visually impaired mode according to the method announced in the broadcast.

I tried to use it, and it was true that the phone would read the words presented on the screen.

But it's still troublesome,

But at this very moment,

The mobile phone vibrated and a voice broadcast sounded at the same time.

"The phone 010023 called, whether to answer it or not."

"Answer,"

"Declined."

Xu Hua answered the call a little awkwardly,

"Is it Professor Xu Hua?"

"Yes."

"I'm from the Office of Emergency Matters. We will be convening a meeting on this disaster in an hour's time, and we will need your participation, Professor Xu Hua. ”

"Need me to participate?"

Xu Hua was a little surprised at first,

Because he's not engaged in medical research.

He did research in astrophysics and cosmic physics.

Then, the heart sank even more, because it meant that the problems facing humanity were worse than expected.

"Yes. Your participation is required. ”

"Okay, I see. But how do I get there? ”

"Someone will pick you up soon."

"That's right. I want to ask...... How many people have lost their vision. ”

“……”

The person on the other end of the phone heard Xu Hua's words and was silent for a while.

Then he replied,

“…… Professor Xu Hua, as far as we know, should be all. ”

……

"Crackling ......"

In the study.

Ji Zhuo sat in front of the computer, typing on the keyboard.

As the lines of words gradually cover the original blank space on the codeword software,

The opening plot of this new book is also gradually unfolding in the text.,

Ji Zhuo pondered the sentences, revised and revised the beginning of this new book.

The beginning of the story,

In the morning after an ordinary night,

As described in the introduction,

When people wake up from their sleep, they don't see the morning sunlight coming through their windows.

There is only darkness in front of me.

In the abruptness, the eyes of all the people in the whole world lost their light.

Blind.

The same goes for Xu Hua, the protagonist of the new book,

When the alarm clock woke him up, he also found that he had lost his eyesight.

There is also a great sense of panic and insecurity,

Immediately afterward, he also discovered that it was not only he who had lost his vision.

or even an entire building and beyond,

And then from the loudspeaker of the community sounded the Führer's speech and promulgated the temporary policy,

It made him realize the seriousness of this matter and the great scope of the possible impact.

At last

He got information about the loss of sight from the mouths of those who had informed him of the meeting.

Everything is the worst outcome, the whole world, everyone loses sight overnight.

This is either a catastrophe or an apocalypse.

The plot continues to unfold,

Naturally, someone came to pick up the protagonist Xu Hua to go to the meeting.

is a soldier,

The same loss of vision.

Xu Hua stumbled a little, with some worries about the unknown in the house,

Xu Hua reluctantly groped to the door of the living room and opened the door.

“…… Drip. ”

"Professor Xu Hua, I am a staff member of the Emergency Affairs Office, and I have been ordered to take you to the meeting."

It seems that someone came to confirm Xu Hua's identity with something, and then said out loud.

"Okay, I see."

Although Xu Hua has a strong sense of his own future and the future of mankind in his heart,

But he remained curious about the unknown.

"What did you just use to confirm my identity?"

"Face recognition terminals. It is a police personal terminal similar to the police. ”

"We've also lost our sight, so we're the only way to identify you."

Xu Hua nodded, and then realized,

Just nodding, the person who came didn't realize it at all.

"Hmm."

"So how do we get there?"

"By car. Although our autonomous driving is not yet perfect. But it should have been night or early in the morning. There are not many vehicles on the street. No one else should go out now, and there are few people on the streets, so you can barely use autonomous driving. ”

The visitor replied.

"Okay, let's go."

Xu Hua nodded subconsciously first, and then responded.

Followed the man out of the door,

Then he stopped again,

He still has the impression of the corridor outside the house in his mind.

But I can't exactly match the position of my steps with the impression in my mind.

At the same time, because of the loss of vision, there was darkness in front of him, and he didn't know if there had been any changes in this corridor.

With some hesitation about the unknown.

"Mr. Xu Hua, hold my arm, I have memorized the route when I came."

Someone spoke again.

Xu Hua stretched out his hand, the first time, he didn't touch it, and the second time he probably touched the arm of the person who came.

The person who came seemed to remember the route accurately,

I didn't think much about it, and I seemed to walk forward to the elevator door.

Immediately after, Xu Hua heard the sound of the elevator door opening.

The two walked in.

Then I heard the sound of the elevator door closing,

You can feel the elevator going down.

It seems that the buttons of the elevator are all with numbers and bumps and Braille?

Xu Hua stood in the elevator, stretched out his hand and touched it, and seemed to be relieved when he reached the edge of the elevator.

It turns out that it is so scary that you can't touch anything around......

……

“…… Whew......"

Ji Zhuo sat in front of the computer, crackling and typing on the keyboard,

Write the beginning of the new book.

The plot of the opening chapter goes further down, and it is natural that the protagonist follows the comer to the place where the meeting is held.

At the same time, the road also depicts the changes in the perception of the surroundings after losing vision.

And after all people lose their vision, the whole society is brought about in a short period of time.

Along the way, the protagonist Xu Hua followed the visitor to sit in an autonomous car and go to the place where the meeting was held.

Along the way, Xu Hua heard some trivial sounds several times, and the Didi prompt sound from the automatic driving system.

Xu Hua asked the visitor what had happened.

The person who came told Xu Hua that it was the automatic driving system that recognized that there seemed to be a car accident on the road and issued a prompt.

This made Xu Hua feel a little silent.

The loss of vision seems to occur instantaneously.

Even at night, there were people driving on the road at that time, which must have caused a lot of car accidents.

There are also various things that may have caused various accidents.

But if there is no one around them who can be rescued, it will be difficult to rescue them one by one in a short period of time.

The whole society loses its vision, when the whole civilization is blind,

Some of the mundane things are going to be tough too.
