Chapter 1 - Emergencies

On Saturday, August 13, 2200, a nuclear bomb dropped by a stealth bomber was not intercepted in time and the world exploded.

The mushroom cloud produced by the explosion almost reached the top of the atmosphere. People about 1,000 kilometers away from the launch point could clearly see the dazzling light produced at the moment of the explosion.

And this is just the beginning of the nightmare...

The people who survived later called this day "Holocaust Day".

Humanity's madness was completely ignited. No comet hit the earth, no continent sank. Humanity ended its own civilization with its own hands.

And this day also means that people have entered the "new era".

Everything happened unexpectedly, but not everyone was unprepared.

All over the world, after seeing the power of the "AN602" dropped in the uninhabited area of ​​the Arctic Circle in 1961, they have already begun to prepare shelters.

And I, Zhang Xiyuan, a young man who is preparing for his first mock exam, will soon become a key figure in turning around the situation in the new era.

But now I take a deep breath, and what I smell is the smell of disinfectant, a damp musty smell, with a salty smell in it.

This is not a dream, this is reality. I don’t know where I am, and I don’t know how long this dark time has passed. In the darkness, children’s songs with the sound of electricity sounded...

"What's the name of dad's father? Grandpa. What's the name of dad's mother? Grandma..."

In the darkness, blue and red lights glowed, and the tunes of children's songs seemed to be running out of power, making it even more eerie and terrifying.

I know this thing, it's the food delivery robot from the shelter.

It swayed over, and under the red and blue lights, I could clearly see the general environment I was in. This was a long, dark corridor. At the end of the corridor, there was a huge barbed wire fence in front of me.

The food delivery robot followed the barbed wire fence, stuffed a package in, and swayed away with its low-battery music playing.

I was hoarse and leaning against the barbed wire fence... The fear, anger, and depression of finding myself in this environment cost me a lot of energy. Now I just lean on the barbed wire and wait. About what to wait for,

I don't know either.

My ordinary life for 18 years completely went off the track that morning...

It was an ordinary Saturday. I bought an ordinary bottle of water in an ordinary convenience store, and then the deafening air-raid siren sounded. I thought it was because I was immersed in studying and forgot that today was an important day, or maybe it was because

What a drill. At this time, all the TV broadcasts began to broadcast a news item.

At the same time, my cell phone and that of the convenience store cashier rang at the same time, and it was a message.

"In an emergency, a large explosion will occur in this area in about an hour. Please go to the nearest underground passage or subway station to evacuate immediately! If conditions permit, try to bring some food, drinking water and lighting!

This is not a drill! This is not a drill!"

Explosion? How is that possible?!

But the honking of horns outside the door, the helicopters rumbling overhead, and the screaming passers-by on the street all prove that this is true...

This is not a drill! This is real! Fear stimulates adrenaline and my pace gradually speeds up... In my panic, I have long lost my flip-flops, but I can't care anymore...

"Dad! Let's go! It's going to explode! Dad!"

I crawled and opened the door. My father was lying on the sofa, surrounded by wine bottles. All the commotion outside seemed to have nothing to do with him... I struggled to lift him up, listening to the heart-burning alarm outside,

Want to cry but no tears.

"Dad! It's too late! Let's go!" I shouted loudly and shook him, but he was still drunk.

I dragged him and pressed the elevator button. Fortunately, the elevator could still be used.

"Ding dong!" The elevator door opened, but there were five people in black suits standing inside. "Is this Zhang Xiyuan?" one of them asked.

I nodded, how did he know my name?

A man in the middle wearing sunglasses said, "Zhang Xiyuan, we are from the Life Development Association, now you need to follow us."

"Where are you going?"

"refuge."

"But..."

Just as I was about to retort, one of them pulled out a gun.

"You have no right to refuse, you must come with us."

"Where are my dad and my sister?" "We can only take you into the shelter. People from other departments will be responsible for your family."

I wanted to say something else, but there was a sharp pain in my neck, and then I didn't know anything else.

In the hazy moment, I was already sitting in a commercial car. I felt so weak all over my body and my eyelids were as heavy as a thousand pounds.

"What are you doing?" I asked vaguely without using any energy in my tongue.

No one pays attention to me.

They must have injected me with some kind of anesthetic, and my tears flowed down unconsciously mixed with my saliva...

The man next to me finally turned around, wearing sunglasses. I couldn't see his expression clearly, but I saw the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

"You'll thank me."

In the blink of an eye, consciousness gradually faded away again...

I woke up again, on a soft bed. There was even a fireplace at the foot of the bed, and a fire was burning. I realized that this house seemed to be made of a natural cave, because of the texture of the rock and the arch of the roof.

The shapes, angles and shapes are no different from the real thing.

There is a windbreaker and sweatpants on the bed. There is a toilet and shower in the bathroom next to it. Except that there is no TV and Internet cable, it can be called a style big bed room. By the way, there is also a surveillance camera in the corner of the room.

Don't hide it, it's facing my bed.

Who are these people, and why did they bring me to this cave and then monitor me?

Isn't this a reality show? I suddenly had the idea that maybe this is a reality show like "The Truman Show". There are many people watching my every move now...

My movements started to become a little artificial. The strange thing was that there were no windows in this room, only a wooden door. I opened the door easily with a simple twist.

As soon as I opened the door, I was dumbfounded.

There is an iron gate on the left side of the door, and a cliff on the right! The cold wind is blowing in!

This is really a cave! The fireplace is not a decoration but is really for heating...
