Xu Fan woke up from the darkness, and as far as his eyes could see, the land was devastated, and the city was reduced to ruins.

The streets are dilapidated and ugly, the underground sewerage system has been paralyzed, and an old public toilet not far away emits a foul smell.

There was also a pungent decay in the air, which made Xu Fan retch.

"Am I dreaming?"

He muttered.

In my memory, Xu Fan browsed a website in the middle of the night and suddenly an unknown link popped up.

I wanted to turn it off, but my hand slipped and accidentally clicked in, and then I felt that it was dark in front of me and I lost consciousness.

He looked up at this unknown world, and the gray-black haze completely enveloped the sky, creating a strong sense of depression.

Next to the street, there are many high-rise buildings, but they have long been dilapidated.

The whole world fell into dead silence, as if in a dead city.

The strange atmosphere made Xu Fan's heart more and more uneasy, and he was eager to find a living creature and prove that there was still life, even if it was a dog.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the mobile phone beside him.

It was his phone, the screen flashing blue light, like a computer with a blue screen, the touch screen was out of order.

Xu Fan tried to shut down the phone, but to no avail.

"Dreaming, must be dreaming."

"Slap", a hard slap on the face, and the hot pain immediately hit, as if to tell him that this is true.

Just when Xu Fan was at a loss, a sound of metal friction suddenly sounded in this lonely world, like someone holding a nail and scraping it on a rusty piece of iron.

The strange voice was approaching, and Xu Fan's spirit was collapsing, until he noticed again that the phone with the blue screen just now showed text.

[D254 Spiritual Pollution Source, Danger Level: Two Stars]

[Suggestion: Evacuate immediately]

………

There are a few words on the screen of the phone.

Xu Fan couldn't understand what it meant, the strange voice in his ears got closer and closer, and his intuition also told him that this place could not continue to stay.

He struggled to get up and ran deeper into the ruined streets, but he didn't take a few steps before the blue light on his phone's screen flickered even more.

"Is it in the wrong direction?"

Xu Fan thought for a moment, then turned around and ran in the opposite direction.

Sure enough, this time the blue light of the phone screen was a lot dimmer.

The trotting that lasted for more than ten minutes, the strange metal sound in my ears was gradually fading away.

Looking at everything around me, it was still a row of ruined houses, and the ground was full of potholes.

The buildings seem to have survived wars.

"That's not right..."

Xu Fan walked to a building, stretched out his hand and touched the wall, and was surprised.

His gaze scanned the other houses around him, and his expression became more and more solemn.

The houses, the ground are almost all covered with tiny cracks, as if this place has been squeezed by some great force.

"What the hell is going on?"

Xu Fan began to be confused and continued to walk along the street, desperate to find the answer.

Soon, an intersection appeared in his field of vision.

Looking at the roads that extended in all directions, Xu Fan suddenly felt that these dilapidated buildings were somewhat familiar, until he saw the rusty street sign next to him.

He froze in place, a deep despair in his heart.

"Why?"

Xu Fan muttered in distraction.

The dilapidated road in front of him is exactly where he passes on his daily commute.

Now Xu Fan can be sure that he has not traveled to another world, this is still the earth that he once lived in, the city where he once lived.

And what about other cities?!

Or has the whole world become like this?

He gritted his teeth and strode in the direction of home.

It's just that the further he goes, the shops and buildings he once familiar with come into view.

Xu Fan walked into a convenience store, the shelves fell to the ground, and moldy food and goods were scattered all over the ground.

He walked to the cash register and found that the tables and chairs were covered with a thick layer of dust, which by no means could be formed in a short time.

"Did I travel to the future? The world was ruined by nuclear war? ”

Xu Fan suddenly had such an idea in his heart, but he quickly denied it.

If it had been bombed by a nuclear bomb, the buildings could not have been so well preserved.

He scoured through the mess of goods on the floor, eventually finding a few barely working lighters, as well as a rusty hammer and a fruit knife to use in case of emergency.

Just as Xu Fan was about to leave, the corner of his eye suddenly aimed at the table next to the cash register.

It was a wedding ring and a thermos mug, and the diamonds set on the ring proved to be worth a lot.

Seeing these two things, Xu Fan suddenly had a picture in his mind.

The cashier was a woman, perhaps still in love, and her boyfriend gave her the ring.

There is still a third of the water left in the thermos cup, which is mixed with a few red dates and wolfberries.

On a leisurely afternoon, the girl drank wolfberry water and held her beloved ring in anticipation of a happy life in the future.

At this time, something suddenly happened, causing her to leave without even taking the ring with her.

Xu Fan thought about these things repeatedly, but there was no other clue, so he could only turn around and leave the convenience store.

Outside, the streets and houses were still dead silent, and the sky was cloudy as if it were about to collapse.

Just as Xu Fan was about to continue exploring in the direction of the rental house, there was a sudden "creaking" sound in his ears, and he was getting closer, but he didn't know where the sound came from.

There was a strange atmosphere in the air, which made Xu Fan feel suffocated.

"Blu-ray..."

His eyes were fixed on his phone, and the blue screen kept flashing brightly, flickering and flickering, followed by a few small lines of text.

Before Xu Fan could read the text clearly, his head "buzzed", and the severe pain caused him to collapse to the ground, and at the last moment before his consciousness disappeared, the "creaking" sound had reached his body.

…………

I don't know how long it took, Xu Fan woke up in a daze, and the moment he opened his eyes, he was stunned.

The busy roads, the busy commercial streets, and the lively food stalls on the streets.

"I... Coming back? ”

Xu Fan was stunned for a while, looking up at the scorching sun hanging high in the sky, it should have been just after noon, and he was sitting on the waiting chair at the bus stop, with men, women and children waiting for the bus on both sides, talking and laughing.

He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and even slapped himself hard to make sure what was in front of him was real.

When there was a hot pain on his face, Xu Fan smiled.

I don't know how I got back, but it doesn't matter anymore.

That oppressive and strange world, he didn't want to stay for a moment longer.

Xu Fan excitedly ran towards the sidewalk to the north, and soon entered an old community and climbed to the third floor.

The faces of the uncles and aunts downstairs were all familiar, and they greeted him warmly, which made Xu Fan even more sure that he was really back.

Walking at the entrance of the building, as far as his eyes could see, all the doors were closed, and Xu Fan slowed down.

I remember that during the day, many floors are open, and you can see people in the house lying on the sofa watching TV, or letting their children play in the corridor.

Today, all the doors were unusually closed, and although a trace of doubt flashed in his heart, he still walked to room 306 and pushed open the door of his house.

Everything in the room was the same, and the warmth made Xu Fan forget all the fears just now.

"Why are you back so late today? Wash your hands and get ready to eat. ”

The voice of her mother, Wu Xiumei, came from the kitchen, she was cooking.

Xu Fan was dumbfounded for a while, and he didn't know where to start, so he could only answer with a smile: "I met a friend on the road and delayed the meeting, what do you do to eat at noon today?" ”

Smelling the fragrance wafting from the kitchen, Xu Fan drooled.

"Pork ribs stewed with corn, and braised pork, all of them are your favorite foods." Mom replied in a gentle voice.

As soon as Xu Fan heard that there was braised pork, he immediately ran to the table and sat down excitedly.

Looking at the two dishes and chopsticks in front of the table, he frowned, "Mom, won't my sister come back for dinner today?" ”

Xu Fan also has a younger sister who is in the third year of junior high school, and she comes back for dinner at noon every day.

As for my father, he often travels on business trips and only comes back every three or five times.

"I'm not coming back."

At the same time as the voice came, my mother walked out of the kitchen with a plate of steaming braised pork.

Xu Fan responded, because his sister did sometimes go to the same school for dinner, but he was just about to pick up a piece of braised pork, and the smile on his face faded.

"Mom, is this pork? How does it feel weird? ”

He has eaten braised pork many times, and every time his mother cooks meat, it is fat and thin.

But the meat in front of me is only lean meat, and there is no fat in sight.

What shocked him even more was that he saw a slender hair in this plate of braised pork, but his mother obviously had short hair.
