32 days

Yi Alan looked out the window. Tonight, the lights on the street were even more sparse.Although many street lights still have sufficient solar energy, the central control system stops issuing lighting commands due to power outages.He had never seen such a dark night.

Yeah, how is he sure this is all real?

At least the Internet still has data and codes to prove that the world it runs on and the accounts created existed.And here, where to find evidence of their real existence?

Joker sent another message: Come help me.

A: What can I help you with?

Joker: Although you really can't help much, it's better than nothing.

Yi Alan didn't know whether to be angry at Joker's overly blunt words.

Joker: I don't have much time on the 32nd.The current science and technology update iteration is too fast. If I can't create a utopia before the Internet technology iteration, then the road ahead will be even more difficult.You at least understand programming, the Internet, and some artificial intelligence. I believe that under my teaching and command, you will perform well.

Be your tool man A?

Yi Alan laughed and asked: Although there were not many people in the 32nd day, there would be no more professional network engineers than me, right?

Joker: Of course not.I know of a person who tried to enter the database on the 32nd. He is from the information security department of a small country and has good skills.But he may be suspicious of life, not only can he not do anything to me, he can't even find your IP address.Look, I'm protecting you. As long as you don't take the initiative to expose your information, no one can find you along the 32nd community, and you can communicate here as much as you want.

A: So why did you come to me?

Joker: Because you're mediocre.I don't mean to offend you by saying this.You should be a very good person in the environment you grew up in, but you know, the environment I live in and the people I come into contact with are all the best talents in my country and even in the world. In front of them, few people Also deserves a word of praise.But helplessly, excellent people are all tied up by some tangible and intangible things, some are happy to be tied up, and some are involuntary, but no matter what, they will not be my helpers.Only mediocre people like you will not be drawn into the vortex. You are alone and can love everything you love purely.

A: Then you should also think that mediocre people don't have any great ideals.

Joker: Oh, are you rejecting me?

A: Yes.

When Yi Alan sent that word, he was waiting for Joker's reply or revenge. Joker might get angry, cut off his network, or threaten him.

Joker: That's really a pity.

After Joker expressed his regret, he never replied.

Yi Alan waited for a long time but did not wait for any revenge, Joker just simply regretted, he was as enthusiastic and innocent as a child.This made Yi Alan feel that he should have rejected any of Joker's requests earlier, wasting Joker's precious time talking, and he felt a little bit uneasy about his conscience.

"Yi Alan!" The little nurse shouted loudly from the next door.

Yi Alan quickly rolled out of bed and ran to the next ward: "What's wrong?"

Liang Fei was sitting on the hospital bed holding the child, and the little nurse was sitting beside her, putting her arms around her shoulders.

The little nurse said weakly: "It's almost twelve o'clock, we're a little scared."

They shrank so much that Yi Alan was also a little nervous. She looked at her watch, and the hour hand on the 32nd had already pointed to [-]:[-].

Yi Alan moved a chair and sat opposite them. The atmosphere was actually quite awkward, but they all focused on their watches.

Time has never been so long, they seem to be watching the countdown to the Big Bang.It seems that when the time comes, a new world is born, or perishes, in quantum fluctuations.

Time is up.At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, at midnight, nothing happened, it was quiet and peaceful.

The time on the mobile phone and computer jumped to June 6, and they had to stay in this goddamn world with no one for another day, for no reason at all.

Yi Alan couldn't tell what she felt, maybe she was already numb.

There was a faint smile on Liang Fei's face, and she could stay with the child for a while longer.

The little nurse was still very worried: "Are you really sure we can go back? Will it always be like this, number 33? Number 34?"

"Before the fact happens, any fact may happen." Yi Alan assumed the role of Zhou Yan'an at the moment, "According to the current law, we can return to the normal world. But if it does not follow the law, we will There is no way, is there? The only thing we can do is to wait in peace. Well, you go to sleep and have a good rest."

Yi Alan returned to her own ward, and couldn't help but send a message to Zhou Yan'an: We are still here.

Zhou Yanan replied quickly: Yes, we are still on the 32nd.

Zhou Yanan was actually quite leisurely at this moment. He parked the helicopter on the roof of a tall building not far from the □□ building, and used a better military telescope. From here, he could see many places in that important area.He was lying on the pilot's seat of the helicopter, and the cool night wind from above passed him far away.

He didn't break in during the day, he just drove the helicopter around to inspect and make sure there was nothing unusual.This is a key area of ​​the country. The security defense system is very powerful and intelligent. It should still be operating in an orderly and stable manner. Any flying objects that enter the protection area without permission are likely to be shot down.

Perhaps during the period when the 32nd first appeared, people in this city would first think of running here to ask for help. When they found that there was no one here, they all dispersed and went back to their homes.

You should probably come out and look at the stars.

Zhou Yanan said to Yi Alan.He is looking at the stars.After the loss of 70 billion human beings, the world seemed extraordinarily quiet and clear. The lights on the ground went out and the stars brightened.The near-zero carbon emissions in the past two days have also made the sky appear black like a jewel, and the light from a long distance and a long time has reached the earth without hindrance, bringing the ancient eyes of the universe.

After people get used to the busy life in front of them in big cities, they suddenly realize that the universe is so vast and far away.

Yi Alan opened the door lightly, and went to the end of the corridor to climb the stairs. It was not easy to climb from the fourth floor to the 20th floor, and it was even more difficult to open the door to the rooftop.

Just like the windows of the upper floors of the hospital can only be opened a small part, the roof is also tightly closed to prevent desperate patients from jumping off the building.Yi Alan fiddled with the fire crowbar for a long time before opening it.

He walked up to the roof, and the strong wind made him squint his eyes, and after a while, he opened them to look at the stars in the sky.

What he and Zhou Yan'an looked at were the same starry sky, the coexistence of loneliness and denseness made people unable to help but believe in eternity and fell into petty self-doubt.

Yi Alan stood under the stars in the summer night, for a moment, he hoped that these stars would fall down like a rainstorm.

Yi Alan didn't go to bed until very late. This was the first time they spent the night in this strange world on the 32nd. They didn't sleep well. They were tossed and turned in their dreams, as painful as jet lag.

After Zhou Yan'an left, the burden of cooking fell to Yi Alan and the little nurse.

This is hard for Yi Alan.When I was a child, my mother, who was a doctor, had very strict requirements on the diet, which was so bland that the tongue could not taste the taste. Later, the big pot of rice I ate at school was so greasy that most of the dishes had only the same taste, and Yi Alan accepted all of them. , he doesn't pick, which means that he won't learn how to cook in order to satisfy his appetite.

In the morning, Yi Alan was afraid that the noodles would not be cooked well, and the noodles would become mushy if they were cooked for too long.At noon, the little nurse silently went to the cafeteria to serve the food without saying a word.

The dishes cooked by the little nurse were not as good as Zhou Yanan's, but they were still delicious, and they wouldn't hurt Liang Fei, who hadn't recovered yet, on the tip of her tongue again.

In addition to looking for some necessities of life, Yi Alan needs to go out and look around. She spends most of the day in the hospital, and sometimes visits the community on the 32nd.

People in the community are becoming more and more open-minded, and they have played a lot of tricks on Yi Alan's pessimistic and empty 32nd day.

There is a rich man in country A who posted a public post to solicit lovers. He hopes that women in the 32nd will actively send photos to him. He will choose a satisfactory one and give him a monthly maintenance fee of 32 yuan. No matter what, he couldn't find any substantive evidence of Bao Xiaosan.

Yi Alan suddenly thought, if he made a boyfriend on the 32nd, wouldn't his mother find out?

Of course, the thought just flashed by very quickly.If he really fell in love with a certain man, how could he be willing to hide in the uninhabited world like an affair, and in his long life, there is only a brief meeting like morning dew.

When the time on the 32nd was close to 24 o'clock again, the atmosphere in the community finally became dignified, and few people spoke any more.

Although most people think that they will definitely return to the normal world, it is still inevitable to be a little scared.

Yi Alan was still sitting opposite Liang Fei and the little nurse, accompanying them, but in fact, they were also accompanying Yi Alan.

"Honey, I don't want to leave."

When Yi Alan felt dizzy as he was about to fall asleep, he heard Liang Fei's sad whispers.

In the next second, he struggled to open his eyes and struggled out of the drowsiness. What he saw in front of him was the bedroom he was all too familiar with. The time displayed on his phone was 7:1 am on July 2st.Open the curtains, the stars in the sky are sparse and dim, and the sleepless neon lights are shining with artificial brilliance.

Yi Alan sent a message to Zhou Yanan: We are back.

Zhou Yan'an replied: Don't think too much, go to sleep.

He realized a wonderful thing. During the 32 days, Zhou Yan'an was far away from him and he didn't know where he was.But in this normal world, they're in the same city, and they can sit together for breakfast tomorrow morning if they want to.

Shall we have breakfast together tomorrow?

When Yi Alan thought of that scene, she moved with her heart and sent out the invitation.

Zhou Yanan said yes.

Yi Alan didn't realize the happiness overflowing in her heart.Asking a guy out to dinner, even without any purpose, makes him happy enough.He never dated a man, nor did a woman.

If he becomes aware of his own happiness, he immediately becomes unhappy.
