At twelve o'clock on November 15, 2022, the weather in the south was still warm and humid.

Zhuang Zhou hurried to Shenzhen North Railway Station, and took the G6666 high-speed train directly to W City in a daze, and the seat number was 100 cars and 100F.

G6666 high-speed rail, 100 cars 100F?

After Zhuang Zhou successfully booked a ticket online with his mobile phone, he just habitually glanced at the strange information on the high-speed rail ticket.

At that time, he was busy in a taxi and had no time to think.

Seat number: 100 car 100F, this is the last carriage and the last row of window seats.

Zhuang Zhou easily lifted the suitcase in his hand, put it on the empty luggage rack above his head, and glanced out the bright window and the empty platform by the way.

Zhuang Zhou sat down tiredly, and his mind was empty.

Zhuang sat down on Monday, and the automatic sensing device on the seat had adjusted to the best posture for him in just five seconds according to his height, weight, spinal curvature, etc.

Zhuang Zhou's body and mind suddenly lightened, and he felt very comfortable, as if lying in a comfortable embrace, he leaned lazily on the back of the chair and looked out of the window again.

There was still no one on the platform, but it did not attract any attention from Zhuang Zhou.

Ten seconds later, the train began to start silently, and after another ten seconds, it had accelerated out of Shenzhen North Railway Station and drove all the way north.

At this time, the soulful song "All the Way to the North" just sounded in the carriage, the song was heartbreaking, but the sound was relatively weak, I don't know where it floated out of which corner or crack.

Zhuang Zhougang wanted to listen carefully to the hoarse singing voice, the singing voice had disappeared, and the mobile phone in his suit pocket vibrated slightly.

This is an information reminder, which is the usual setting of Zhuang Zhou's mobile phone.

Zhuang Zhou didn't bother to pay attention.

I went crazy with my wife all night last night, and then lingered in the early morning, and Zhuang Zhou was already tired at this time.

Zhuang Zhou remembered the madness of staying up all night with his wife in the bedroom, living room, sofa, dining room, kitchen and other places last night, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

"It is 450 kilometers from Shenzhen North Railway Station to W City, and the whole journey takes 2 hours."

Zhuang Zhou muttered: "I went there once last month, and in the future, I may have to go back and forth with the two cities often." ”

"Take a nap first, recover the 'essence, energy, and spirit' that were lost last night due to the all-night madness, and you can also make up for the lack of sleep last night."

He squinted his eyes with endless aftertaste, ready to sleep to the terminal,

The mobile phone in the suit pocket vibrated for the second time, and important information would vibrate three times at intervals, which was also the usual setting of Zhuang Zhou's mobile phone.

Zhuang Zhou squinted, still ignoring it, and began to replay the crazy picture with his wife last night in his mind.

Yesterday was the third anniversary of his marriage to his wife, but for some reason, last night was the craziest night in the history of Zhuang Zhou and his wife, which has never happened even during their relationship.

As if they had a premonition that tomorrow would be the end of the world, the two demanded each other without any scruples, and the greed and madness made the two almost paralyzed afterwards.

"The three-year itch, the five-year separation, the seven-year pain, and the ten-year covenant between husband and wife, I don't know if it will be confirmed in myself and my wife?"

This thought suddenly flashed in Zhuang Zhou's heart.

At this moment, the mobile phone in Zhuang Zhou's suit pocket vibrated again, and the frequency of the vibration was very sharp.

The picture of passion in Zhuang Zhou's mind suddenly faded, and he took out the old mobile phone very unhappily, holding it like holding a thick brick.

He lifted the brick-like phone's metal cover, and a message lit up on the screen.

A big "∞" symbol appeared in front of Zhuang Zhou's eyes.

This is the lying down Arabic numeral 8, which is also the mathematical symbol "infinity".

There is a short text below: At 12 o'clock BJ time on November 15, 2022, the United Nations' "8 Billion Population Day" officially arrived.

Zhuang Zhou doubted himself: "We already have 8 billion people on the earth? ”

Then, he scolded in a low voice: "My day, what happened to the 8 billion people? Even if there are 10 billion people now, I, Zhuang Zhou, will still live on this planet! ”

The scolding was soft, like a murmur.

He was about to close the cover of his phone, but the screen of his phone suddenly went black.

Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but scold again: "My day, this broken mobile phone was turned off, and I was so busy working last night that I forgot to charge it." ”

He closed the cover of his phone and dropped it on the table in front of his seat.

Zhuang Zhou stood up and reached for the suitcase.

He thought in pieces: "Take the charger and recharge it, otherwise, my wife will complain if she can't get on the phone." ”

Suddenly, the phone vibrated violently again, making a "snort" sound on the desktop.

Zhuang Zhou stared at it and muttered suspiciously: "Didn't the phone turn off and the screen went black?" Is it dead but not stiff? ”

But the brick phone was indeed vibrating, and the frequency of the vibration was very violent.

Zhuang Zhou grabbed the brick phone in his hand and lifted its metal cover again.

The screen is still black, but there is an abrupt white set of numbers on it: 24 hours = 10 billion people.

Then, below, a string of Chinese began to pop up word by word, like who was coding words on a pitch-black screen.

Three seconds later, a sentence appeared on the black screen.

Zhuang Zhou said softly: "If you want to live, you must leave this planet within 24 hours!" ”

“------”

Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but scold: "My day, I will be tired like this last night?" Even the hallucinations came out! ”

He raised his hand, rubbed his eyes a few times, blinked his eyeballs, and looked at the screen again.

That line is still there: if you want to live, you must leave this planet within 24 hours!

“------”

Zhuang Zhou raised his head suddenly, looked around, and couldn't help but scold loudly: "Fuck your uncle, who is playing with me------"

But before he could finish scolding, he stopped talking.

Only then did he realize that he was the only one in the entire long carriage, and Zhuang Zhou had not noticed it since he got on the train.

He was stunned for a moment, and quickly looked at the seat number, which was exactly 100F.

Zhuang Zhou asked suspiciously: "How can there be a 100F?" Is this a seat number? ”

Looking up at the electronic screen directly in front of the car, a string of red subtitles was walking from right to left.

"The terminal station of the high-speed high-speed rail W city, the whole journey takes two hours, the approved speed is 1000 km / h, this carriage is the 100th car, the number of full passengers: 100 (person), the number of actual passengers: 1 (person), vacant seats: 99 (person), this speed train is a self-service car, please read the instructions for passengers by themselves------"

Zhuang Zhou was stunned again, and scolded loudly again: "My day, when did I have a 1,000-kilometer-per-hour high-speed train, isn't this a sonic high-speed rail?" ”

After scolding, he muttered: "A train has 100 cars, and one car has 100 seats? Then this trip will not have to pull 10,000 people! ”

Zhuang Zhou hurriedly looked out the window, only to see the buildings, hills, woods, and fields outside retreating rapidly like lightning.

With the knowledge of physics I learned in junior high school and high school, I am convinced that the speed of the train is not 1,000 kilometers per hour, but 800 kilometers per hour.

He then read in fragments: "At this speed, two hours is 2,000 kilometers, but isn't it only 450 kilometers from Shenzhen North Railway Station to W City?" ”

"Could it be that I bought the wrong ticket yesterday?"

Zhuang Zhou thought about it, quickly took out the ticket, and looked at it, G6666 times, and the information on the ticket was all normal and correct.

Only the numbers on the date column made Zhuang Zhou frightened.

The date above is: November 15, 2055 at 12:00.

Zhuang Zhou suddenly thought of something, and muttered to himself: "Hey, no, am I traveling to the future?" ”

He still thought in pieces: "No, am I here 33 years later?" ”

"Oh my God, it's only been a few minutes since I sat down, and I just squinted, why did you let me ------"

Zhuang Zhou began to panic in his heart, and hurriedly ran to the carriage in front.

The carriage with 100 rows of seats is indeed quite long, at least 100 meters from start to finish.

But Zhuang Zhou only took 12 minutes to run to the door of the 99th carriage, thanks to his physique, running speed and explosive body that he had trained since childhood.

The automatic induction door of the 99th carriage suddenly opened, but Zhuang Zhou did not step in, just stood at the door in a daze, motionless.

Through the open glass door, Zhuang Zhou saw that the 99th carriage was also empty, and there was no one.

Zhuang Zhou stood stupidly for a while, unwilling, and rushed towards the carriage in front of him at a faster speed.

Cross car 99, car 98, car 97, car 96-----

When Zhuang Zhou ran to car No. 50, he had to stop.

He was tired of being a dog, his face was red and his tongue was sticking out, and he was gasping for breath.

And his heart was even more panicked, because every carriage was empty, and there was not even a ghost in sight.

Zhuang Zhou stood there and did not move for a long time.

And the automatic induction door, opened and closed, closed and opened, constantly shaking back and forth in front of Zhuang Zhou's eyes.
