"Unknown infectious diseases are circulating all over the world, so please pay attention to protection and travel safely."
On the TV in the store, the news was reported and I was intrigued.
- Unknown infectious disease...... Now the world is chaotic enough, and there are still infectious diseases everywhere, which is really a disaster.
I thought about it as I sorted out what I was doing.
- Not long ago, I had a premonition that the end of the world was coming. Not...... No, no! Don't think about these unlucky things.
I closed my eyes and shook my head, trying to get rid of all the superfluous thoughts in my head.
- Even if the end of the world comes, there will be an omen, but how can it be so peaceful now?
The epidemic will soon be over.
I slowly came back to my senses, and then I heard a murmur coming in my ears.
Colleagues and customers alike were staring at me with fiery eyes, looking annoyed – reminding me to concentrate.
- Oh, yes, I'm checking out a customer at the store!
His cheeks flushed with shame, and he hurriedly continued to get busy.
……
After finishing my work, I was called into the room by my boss to talk.
"Miss Destiny, are you daydreaming at work again?"
"Ah...... Be. I'm sorry ...... store manager."
"If you don't want to do it, please leave after receiving this month's salary!"
The store manager is a Yankee who speaks Japanese with a strong American accent. I tried my best to feel his strange way of speaking without being traumatized by the insults that followed......
Work. Dejected, he went home.
I looked up at the sky, and it was overcast.
No, that's what I imagined, the sky was actually bright.
How bright it is...... It should be enough to envelop the whole planet, even though I haven't seen it with my own eyes.
However, in my knowledge, the sky was really dark in the early days, and the reason why it has become like this now is because of the blessing of the "solar satellite".
Thinking of this, I can't help but stand on the top of the high-rise building, look at the surrounding buildings, and enjoy the warm sunlight to soak up my whole body, and forget my troubles for a moment.
The solar satellite is the second heart of the earth, a great achievement of mankind's struggle against the "end times", and a symbol.
Thanks to it, humanity has been able to re-emerge in a world where resources have been depleted.
To the populace, it symbolizes hope.
For me, it symbolizes the "main force" that rebuilds the world.
For a long time, I've been wondering: How did solar satellites come to be? Where was it made?
I consulted magazines and popular science materials from various countries, but I didn't get an answer.
This appears to be a classified secret, forbidden to the curiosity of the general public.
As I grew older, this curiosity became more and more important, and it became an obsession.
The sun's beams on my body are decreasing, and the sun is slowly setting.
The surrounding high-rise buildings are also lit up sporadically.
"What a change."
- If only I could be the main force in rebuilding this world, just like them.
It's a pity that I don't have enough ability and no opportunities, so I can only stay in the grocery store and work ordinarily, and live ordinarily, alas......
Reaching out to catch the last rays of sunlight in the sky, he tightened it into his palm, but his palm was empty, and nothing was gained.
Of course I know that.
To be a human being, you still have to see reality clearly, and it is really wrong to daydream all the time. Instead of thinking about distant dreams, it is better to take every step of the way first.
So, let's buy vegetables and cook first.
- Wait! Why didn't I remember to buy it when I came back just now? It's almost dark now that I remember, I'm so confused......
Rushed to the mall.
……
I went home with the groceries I bought at the mall.
"It's weird, why did the mall close early today, and it took a long time to buy the last greens...... I muttered quietly.
The sky had gradually darkened, and the cold wind was blowing on his face.
As I walked, I suddenly felt that the path and the house in front of me were a little unfamiliar.
"Hey, strange, is my house in this direction?"
I stopped and looked around.
Although I am a road idiot, I can't forget the way home after more than ten years.
There are also a bit few street lights around, and I can barely see the road clearly.
In a trance, I suddenly noticed a looming figure walking not far ahead.
The figure reached out tremblingly, limping slowly towards me.
I rubbed my eyes.
The figure vanished.
It's a little weird, so let's take a detour.
Calmly comforted and comforted himself, half-groping in the dark to find the right path.
When passing through the mouth of a small alley, I heard some percussion sounds and inexplicable sounds coming from the alley, and the movement was quite loud.
I don't know if it's a kitten or a puppy.
Normal people probably wouldn't care, but I stopped there and watched quietly for a while.
I enjoyed the frustrated atmosphere, so I didn't feel scared inside, but I was curious to go inside and take a look.
- It's okay if you just look at it. The streets outside are not without pedestrians and without danger.
I stepped in gently.
I suddenly noticed that there were some crooked Chinese fonts on the wall on the right, and the fonts emitted a faint blue fluorescence. I don't know who wrote it.
- What did you write?
Take a closer look -
"'Don't...... Don't ...... over'huh? I don't understand whatever. ”
It was obvious that the strange glowing fonts didn't appeal to me, so I gave up after a few seconds and moved on.
When we came to the end, it was so dark that I couldn't see anything.
- Should I have a flashlight?
As I thought this, a brute force suddenly pounced on me from behind and pushed me to the ground.
- Wow! What's going on? What's going on?!
That brute force was exerted by a man, and he was pressing me hard.
I instinctively resisted, elbowed him, screamed for help, but he grabbed my hands and feet and covered my mouth so hard that I couldn't move.
The man who pressed me was a strangely shaped man in black. There were also a few men in black nearby, and they came around and muttered something I couldn't hear.
One of them scanned my head with a device.
I didn't have time to struggle a few times before I lost consciousness.
