(First update today, please recommend and add to your favorites)

"January 10th, the third day back in the hospital. My leg injury is healing well, the pain has lessened a lot, but I still can't walk. I've finished one loaf of bread, and there's one left, but it's dried out after sitting there for so long. I have two bottles of water left, two bags of potato chips, and half a box of chocolates. I can basically make it. Today I checked my phone again to look at photos, and even made a call, but of course I couldn't get through. I'm so stupid. My phone battery is down to 55%, I don't know how much longer it will last. To be honest, being alone is really boring, so boring that I feel like going crazy."

This is a passage I wrote on the third day. I don't know why, but it feels like I'm writing a diary.

To be honest, I really want to go out and see the world, but because of my leg injury and my fear of losing my courage, I don't dare to go out.

"January 11th, Day 4. So frustrating! They say staying in one place for too long can drive you crazy, and I feel like I'm on the verge of a breakdown. Yesterday I planned to finish reading 'Gynecology' and 'Pediatrics' today, but I didn't read anything in those books. Instead, I endured the pain in my leg and searched the entire break room. I found half a torn ID card under the bed, I don't know whose it is. I also found two hundred yuan and a tablet under Zhou Yang's pillow, and then I found a lot of things that men like on the tablet. I'm so happy."

I don't know how to describe what happened that day.

"January 12th, Day 5. The wound on my leg is healing very well, and I can walk now. Although it still hurts a bit, it's not a big problem anymore, after all, muscles have a strong ability to recover. I've finished all the bread today, and there's only one bottle of water left. As for food, I have three pieces of chocolate and two bags of potato chips. I hope that will last until my leg is fully recovered. As for yesterday's absurdity, it's all in the past. I want to face life again, so I started exercising today. Although I struggled with just some push-ups and sit-ups, exercising is a must. I know life will be tough in the future. Also, I miss them: Mom and Dad, Chen Xin, Wu Shuang, Fei Lichao, Pu Weichao, Zhou Yang, and many others."

Today's workout was indeed a bit strenuous for me.

I remember back in high school, I would occasionally go for a run during PE class or in the evening. But after I went to college, I rarely exercised. Apart from Zhou Yang sometimes asking me to go to the gym, I never exercised at all.

I don't know if it's too late to start exercising now.

I just hope I can live a healthy life.

"January 13th, Day 6. I caught a slight cold today, took some medicine, and stayed in bed all day. After sweating it out, I'm almost better. While lying in bed, I kept thinking I might turn into one of those man-eating monsters, but thankfully it's just a minor cold. Six days have passed now, and I wonder how Wu Shuang and the others are doing. The situation in the air-raid shelter should be better by now, right? Once my leg injury heals, I'll try to find a way back. Ugh, how should I put it, I'm so hungry. I ate three chocolates and a bag of potato chips today, and now I only have a bag of potato chips and half a bottle of water left. I don't know if that will last until tomorrow. I hope so."

"January 14th, the seventh day. It's been a week. Zhou Yang's tablet is completely out of battery, and there's nothing left to watch. As for my own phone, it hasn't been turned on since it was shut down two days ago, and it should still have about 30% battery left. It's noon now, and I've finished everything in the rest room. Although I'm not very hungry, I definitely won't have another meal. My leg injury is almost healed. Although I can't run yet, walking is no problem at all, just a little painful. So I've decided to leave here today, leave the hospital, and go back to the air-raid shelter."

This is also the last entry in my diary. Here I write down my ultimate wish: I hope that one day I can see this world as peaceful as ever, and I hope that one day I can safely return here and retrieve this diary.

Goodbye, this place that has been with me, I will be back.

After writing the last word, I folded the three sheets of paper, put them in the drawer, then slung my heavier backpack over my shoulder, grabbed my axe and dagger, and prepared to set off.

I don't know how to describe these seven lonely days.

There was distress and madness, entanglement and tranquility, but there was no happiness whatsoever.

But I'm grateful that I'm still alive.

I packed three extra pairs of underwear and a white lab coat into my backpack. I didn't touch anything else.

With my backpack on, I landed on my left foot and walked several steps in the lounge. Although the wound was slightly painful, it was a world of difference compared to before.

Now, even jogging shouldn't be a problem, as long as I can bear the pain.

I looked in the mirror and realized I'd lost a lot of weight. Well, I'd only eaten two loaves of bread and some snacks this past week, no wonder I lost weight.

However, these are minor issues.

Once I was sure I was ready, I took the axe and went to the door.

I took a deep breath and murmured, "Phew, time to go. I have to survive!"

I pressed the doorknob, and the door opened instantly.

However, I didn't open it completely; I just opened it a crack and looked outside. Only after confirming that there were no monsters in the corridor outside did I peek out.

I looked around the corridor and saw no one or monsters in sight; it was safe.

My first stop after leaving the lounge was another lounge.

It's not the interns' lounge, but the attending physicians' lounge.
