It was quiet everywhere the radio was spoken.

Most of the people who could still hear the sound were in their respective rooms, pausing their movements.

Either facing the direction the sound came from, or listening with your ears sideways.

And people who have partially lost their vision and have completely lost their hearing,

Most of them are or fall somewhere in their own house,

Or huddle in a corner, unable to hear, not see, and only feel that you are still there when you are close to the things around you.

The loss of the two senses of sight and hearing, and the reduction of information that people can receive, also affect the thinking of the human brain to a certain extent.

Most people who also lose their sense of hearing are now confused, unable to distinguish between dreams and reality and hallucinations.

And in this very place, in the midst of the scenes, this radio speech is still going on.

“…… Later, all those who are still in their posts to maintain order and basic social functions will be given another share of food and resources to all people and families. ”

“…… Here's some food and resources we've stockpiled to help you get through some of this. ”

“…… Later, all non-essential personnel will begin to take indefinite leave, and you will be able to return home to your loved ones. ”

“…… If you are in crisis and difficulty, you can go to these locations for help...... But there's not much we can do. ”

“…… If you notice someone in need, try to give humanitarian relief. ”

“…… Ladies and gentlemen, please preserve the last bit of dignity for humanity. ”

“…… From now on, all available broadcasts will continue to broadcast the above information......"

“…… Ladies and gentlemen, today is December 30th......"

This time the chief's radio address to everyone,

It may be able to preserve the last dignity of human civilization when the curtain ends.

Maybe it will also bring great chaos in the last moments,

Someone may commit suicide because of despair again,

It is also possible that someone indulges his desires in the last moments.

Let human civilization come to an undignified end.

All the experts and professors who were present at the meeting could have thought of this, but no one stopped it.

Because there is no need.

And this is the last thing the official can do at the last moment - to announce the end of human civilization.

The plot progresses to the end of the chief's speech.

The perspective in the text switches to the ordinary people in this civilization that is about to end.

A teacher,

A worker.

A traffic policeman.

Ordinary people from different walks of life and in different positions.

With an almost flat and straightforward, cold brushstroke, I hurriedly wrote these big or small stories.

……

A teacher. After she listened to the chief's speech,

He stood there for a long time.

Then there was no sound, and there was no sadness.

Just groped for the mobile phone, and broadcast a group call through the communication software,

Immediately after, the mobile phone reminded a person to access the call, but no one spoke for a long time.

"Teacher...... Are we all going to die? ”

It's a child's voice coming out of the phone,

The people who answered the phone were her students.

The teacher listened, paused, but pursed his lips and showed a smile on his face,

Even no one can see it.

“…… We haven't had classes in a long time. I'm afraid you won't be able to keep up with the pace of learning when school starts. ”

“…… Today, let's continue to teach through online teaching. ”

The teacher spoke, and the students were quiet.

In the end, it seemed that a parent was silent for a while and then answered aloud.

“…… Teacher, you can speak, and the children are still listening. ”

“…… He can't hear anymore, I'm his mother, and I'll listen for him. ”

“…… Good, good ......."

The teacher responds repeatedly.

opened his mouth, followed by another pause,

“…… Today, the teacher will not give you a regular lesson, so the teacher will call you a song. ”

The teacher spoke, pausing for a long time before opening his mouth and singing,

“…… A big river with wide waves ......"

“…… The wind blows the rice flowers like both sides. ”

"My home is in ...... ...... on the shore"

Singing, the teacher's voice was a little hoarse,

But one of the students on the other end of the line took the teacher's song and continued to sing.

In the midst of the song, the teacher couldn't stop crying and couldn't cry.

Human civilization is gone.

It's going to be gone.

……

A worker.

He listened to the chief's speech in front of a machine.

Although he is blind, he is still familiar enough with these mechanical devices that he has fiddled with all his life.

During the time when humans were blind, he still tirelessly maintained the equipment.

After listening to the chief's speech, he just paused,

Immediately after that, he continued to twist the wrench and re-screwed a screw on the mechanical equipment in front of him.

A little more carefully groped for the machinery and equipment in front of him, and continued to inspect and maintain the work.

Even these things,

It may never be used again.

……

A traffic policeman.

He is familiar enough with the surrounding roads.

So after the human blindness passed, he took the initiative to ask Ying to send food and other things to all those who could only stay at home.

When he heard the chief speak again, he was carrying half a bag of grain, on the way to deliver grain to a family, in the corridor.

After listening to the speech on the radio,

After waiting for the speech on the radio to start repeating again,

He paused for a long time.

Carrying half a bag of grain, he continued upstairs and arrived at the door of the house where he was supposed to arrive.

"Knock knock, knock knock......"

"I'm here to deliver food......

I knocked on the door repeatedly, but no one in the house answered.

“…… I left the food at the door of the house, you remember to come out and get it yourself. ”

He shouted again into the house, but there was still no response.

But there was a voice from another house next to it,

“…… What's the use of sending food at this time! We're all done! It's all over! ”

The voice was full of sorrow and pain,

The traffic police just laughed,

“…… You always have to eat...... Always have to eat. ”

There was no sound in the room.

The traffic policeman turned around and slowly groped his way downstairs,

Back on the road,

The road was quiet, dead silent.

The traffic policeman stood on the side of the road and paused,

Immediately after that, he suddenly raised his head,

smiled and made a few actions to direct traffic,

Immediately after, the tears in his eyes could no longer be held back, and even the laughter rolled out.

At this point, he made another gesture forward.

"Forward, forward!"

With a crying voice, he shouted loudly.

……

“…… Our team is like the sun...... Sing! ”

Finally, after the brushstrokes hurriedly swept through the ordinary people in this world,

is back to the protagonist Xu Hua.

The protagonist Xu Hua didn't eat dinner, and the dinner at night was still on that table.

And Xu Hua himself was lying flat on the bed,

Even with hearing aids,

He could also clearly feel that the hearing in his ears had deteriorated again.

He turned up the power of the hearing aids a little more.

But it didn't fit perfectly.

So much so that he was wearing hearing aids, and his voice was still blurry.

It seems so...... You can deceive yourself that your hearing does not deteriorate so quickly.

Right now, lying in bed.

Xu Hua was in a trance, but he could still hear it,

Outside, the soldiers stationed here seemed to be singing military songs repeatedly.

It's just that some people's voices have begun to change pitch,

In the next two rooms,

I don't know if he couldn't hear clearly, or if there was really no sound, but it gradually became quiet.

“…… Our team is like ......"

Singing over and over again sounded outside,

Xu Hua felt that his voice was getting weaker and weaker,

Even consciousness began to blur.
