[November 20, 2175, cloudy
My father told me that the situation outside is still very bad today.
I wanted to go out and take a look, but my father wouldn't allow me to. He only let me stay in the attic. I was so bored that I could only look at the outside world through the gaps between the vertical bars.
But we were running low on food. My father and brother said they were going out to look for food and told me not to come out, no matter who knocked on the door.
Gu Xingmiao could tell that this was a diary written from a child's perspective.
And in 2175...
This date is about 5 years later than the Chinese timeline where Gu Xingmiao is located.
If China's pollution is to explode, it will definitely happen five years from now.
It’s just that we don’t know exactly which year was the first year of the outbreak.
Because the content of the note was in Chinese characters, the Chinese side could also clearly see the text through her line of sight and browse it together.
"2175? Aren't we in 2170 now? Is the world going to end in five years?"
"The world setting is too close to reality. It makes me feel insecure!"
"But let the end of the world come. There are too many people here. If half of them die randomly, it doesn't matter where I am." Some people are even joking as usual.
"If the world were to end, I wouldn't have to go to work, yay!"
Zhao Wenbin's face was solemn and cold, his hands pressed tightly against the table, his body leaned forward slightly, staring intently at the thin paper.
Although their people took the person who said he was feeling unwell in the barrage to the hospital for a comprehensive examination, the doctor said that there was nothing wrong.
But not being able to see the problem is still the biggest problem.
If pollution could be detected by human technology, it would not have almost caused the extinction of mankind.
They sent the person back, but continued to observe secretly.
As for other Chinese citizens who clearly said they were unwell, they obtained each person's health records through other means.
At present, their physical condition is normal.
Zhao Wenbin let out a deep breath. Things more troublesome than live broadcasting really kept coming one after another.
He originally thought that this live broadcast system only wanted to broadcast traditional culture and tell them the truth about the existence of historical civilization, but the more he came into contact with it, the more he found that this was not the case at all.
The world on the other side of the live broadcast has a complete and independent worldview.
The old land mentioned by Gu Xingmiao and others contains ancient Chinese myths, while the other place where they live is a technological world full of weird things.
That world is full of crises, but at the same time, the live broadcast is telling China that China will also encounter those strange things in the future along the trajectory of history.
“Our world may not necessarily be…” the same as theirs.
"But what if?"
Yes, but what if?
No one can bet on that one chance, and those small details are not fake.
…
Gu Xingmiao discovered that the content at the beginning of the diary only explained the dangers in the context of the end of the world, but the content at the end became strange.
[But my father came back very quickly after going out for a short while. He said that he forgot to bring his keys and hoped that I would come down to open the door.
I remember what my father said to me and covered my mouth to prevent myself from making any sound, but the knocks on the door came more urgently than before. I also heard my brother's urgent calls. After a while, screams continued to be heard from outside the door.
[November 21st cloudy
I was so scared, but my father said that monsters can bewitch humans, and I couldn't believe the voices I heard -
I held back my tears and waited for the sound to disappear. But I waited for two days, until late at night the next day, when the door was finally opened. My father and brother had finally returned, and the one who appeared at the door before was indeed a monster!
The smell of blood on them was so strong that it made me want to vomit, but they were holding a lot of hunted animals.]
[I want to puke! I want to puke so badly!!!]
[The food tasted weird, but my father and brother forced me to eat it, saying I grew up eating meat. I didn’t want to eat it! The meat was disgusting.]
Gu Xingmiao paused slightly when he read this.
Her mind couldn't help but flash back to the person she had met before who had become polluted and mutated and was shouting that he wanted to eat grass. Her eyes became more serious and she continued to read.
They forced me to eat raw meat, saying it was the only food I had and that I had to eat it to survive—they weren't my father and brother! They were monsters! Monsters!
A certain premonition in Gu Xingmiao's heart became stronger.
Because the expressions of the girl's brother and father in the diary looked more like they had been contaminated and infected. But why didn't they contaminate the little girl, but instead let her eat raw meat?
[November 22nd cloudy
I ran away!
My father won't let me go out. My brother and father are definitely not my brother and father. The radio said that a hope base has been established in the southeast, and someone has discovered a way to fight pollution. I'm going there.
After that, the diary entries became shorter and shorter, basically just the date and the mood of the diary owner.
[November 26th, cloudy, I miss my dad]
[November 30th, sunny. The radio said Hope Base was close, but I walked for a long time and still couldn't get there.]
[On December 1st, a kind-hearted person gave me a ride. We are almost at the Hope Base. I am so happy.]
…
The timeline on the paper jumped directly to a week after December 1st.
[December 8th cloudy
Finally arrived at Hope Base, it's polluted, lots of monsters, lots of monsters, lots of monsters!!!]
