32 days

If Yi Alan is also a geek or a hacker, maybe he will play an Internet hide-and-seek game with that mysterious Joker, but now he is more concerned about the situation abroad.

A: No matter where you are, did something happen?

Joker seemed disappointed by Yi Alan's dullness, but he still replied: It's the same all over the world. When the accident happened in our western hemisphere, it was daytime, and the pot was blown up long ago. How can you be as happy as you, unconscious in your sleep.I can guarantee that half of the people who are still alive will have psychological problems because they have witnessed the end of the world.

A: Then you see clearly what is going on?

Joker: If you see it clearly, half of the people will not go crazy.The unknown is more terrifying, my friend.By the way, I really like your name, A.

Zhou Yan'an had been watching their conversation, and said at this moment: "He is very indifferent."

Yi Alan nodded: "I can't see his worry. I don't know if the initial panic period has passed."

Yi Alan asked Joker again: What is your Internet time?

Joker: As I said, the whole world is the same. Now there is no distinction between east and west, northern and southern hemispheres. Where there is internet, it’s 5 pm on May 32. It’s already midnight here, but the computer tells me it’s afternoon. Funny, isn’t it? ?Little A.

A: You can hack into the root servers of various countries and change the time back, right?

Joker: Why should I change it?Isn't that fun?

Joker: I'm building a data channel for you, welcome to the 32nd.

Yi Alan was wondering what he meant, and received the link entry from Joker.

He clicked in, and it was a very lively communication community. It could be seen that it was built temporarily. The UI design is very simple, with blue and white as the main color, and the words "32nd" written on the top, which are Chinese characters.This community incorporates an intelligent translation program, which can display the local language according to the visitor's IP address and translate other users' speeches into the corresponding language. Visitors can also choose to manually change the language after registering an account.

The community center area is the world exchange area, and a separate country exchange area can also be selected in the left function bar.But judging by the activity situation, everyone still likes to talk in the central area. After all, it is the end of the world, and nationality is no longer important.

In general, Joker has built a platform that allows beings all over the world to communicate with each other without barriers.

Yi Alan looked through the past posts in the central area, and many of them were photos and videos posted by people from various countries in the Western Hemisphere.

When the accident happened, most of them were in the daytime, the whole country was full of vitality and functioning at full capacity, and the roads were full of vehicles and pedestrians. It is conceivable what kind of tragedy will be shown when human beings suddenly disappear. People in office buildings or schools are instead Fortunately, apart from the huge psychological impact of witnessing a colleague's leader disappear in the blink of an eye, at least there is no unexpected threat to life.

In other places, vehicles were out of control, crashed one after another, and blocked roads; factories in operation stopped suddenly, raw materials in chemical plants leaked, accidents occurred frequently in dangerous industries, and fires continued... In these environments, very few people left behind , probably without realizing what's going on, being killed by vehicles, raging fires, falling materials from high schools, toxic substances, and out-of-control factory machinery.

Therefore, in those photos, there are still bloody corpses, which are shocking to look at.The disappearing group of people does not represent death, these corpses are the real death.

And this scene also proves that the automation and intelligence believed in in this era still have too many shortcomings, far inferior to the flexible wisdom of human beings.Without humans, machines are a mess.

Yi Alan felt a little uncomfortable watching it, closed the post, went back to Bishui Jiangting, explained to them what happened in the world exchange community on the 32nd, and then shared the entrance with them.

In the community, there are people from the Western Hemisphere who are having fun while they are struggling, and they made a welcome speech: Welcome Huaguo to settle in on the 32nd!You are finally awake!

The Huaguo netizens in Bishui Jiangting are like a frightened bird entering the forest, and there is another round of twitter exchanges.

Zhou Yan'an watched silently, and suddenly asked Yi Alan: "Do you have a way to figure out how many people there are in the community?"

Yi Alan said: "I can only roughly estimate the number of active people, but if I want accurate data, I have to hack into the server."

"Forget it." Zhou Yan'an said, "This Joker is not simple, so don't do anything that might go out of line for now."

Yi Alan smiled and said, "I think he might want me to do this."

But after careful consideration, Yi Alan decided to follow Zhou Yan'an's advice, not to test Joker without knowing the details of Joker, and not to reveal too much information about herself.

The computer shows the time at five o'clock, but the night is as dark as ink, and the actual time should be 07:30 in the evening.Looking out from the window of the hospital, you can see the regular street lights on the road, but this light is too weak compared to the bright and crowded Wanjia lights in the past, making the early summer night as dark as winter, those high-rise buildings The silhouette of the building is like a tree with withered flowers and leaves swallowed by the night alone.

The newborn began to cry, and the weak mother struggled to sit up, held the baby in her arms, comforted and nursed her, and shed tears silently.

Yi Alan thought of the uncle she met in the morning, and wanted to contact him, but no one answered the phone, so she had to send a text message to ask her uncle to meet him at the People's Hospital when he was free.In fact, he was not close to this uncle. Although his mother never said it explicitly, he knew that she never wanted him to have too much contact with his father's relatives.The relatives over there also knew what his mother meant, and rarely came to bother him except on special days.But now, his uncle has become his only relative.

Thinking of this, Yi Alan felt a dull pain like difficulty breathing.He didn't accept his mother's death, so he didn't feel great grief, but when he thought of the empty world, the clothes left behind, and the fact that he couldn't hear his mother's voice with just a phone call, he felt at a loss what to do.

Zhou Yanan went to prepare dinner again. There were no fresh vegetables purchased in the hospital cafeteria, only a few handfuls of vegetables and garlic sprouts left over from yesterday. Fortunately, there was still some meat in the refrigerator, and there were even a few old pigeons in the pigeon cage. Stew soup for pregnant women to drink.

"I'll drive to the vegetable base on the outskirts of the city early tomorrow morning to bring back some vegetables." Zhou Yanan held a few plates of fried meat dishes, "There are a lot of frozen food and instant noodles in the supermarket, but we don't have to buy them until the critical moment. Eat those things."

Yi Alan looked at the simple but good-looking fried pork with garlic sprouts and meatball soup with vegetables, and her depression eased a little. After eating two mouthfuls, she sighed once again that meeting Zhou Yan'an was probably the luckiest thing in the end of the world. He wins the battlefield and the kitchen, and his attitude is always so gentle.

He even felt that the mother could drink pigeon soup quietly at this moment because Zhou Yanan's presence gave her a sense of security from the bottom of her heart.

In the community on the 32nd, the information was swiping fast, and everyone was expressing their opinions on the end of the world. At the same time, new regional members were searched by joker and invited to join.

Yi Alan preliminarily estimated that there were at least 32 users in the 1000 days.

Some people anxiously suggested that while the infrastructure has not completely collapsed and the Internet is still available, sporadic people from all over the country should quickly gather together to tide over the difficulties together. Even if you are able to take care of yourself, you still need spiritual companionship. It's pitiful to spend the rest of your life alone in a city alone.

This incident has aroused complaints from many people in the western hemisphere. Most of their roads are blocked by vehicles, and they can only rely on bicycles and motorcycles to travel far.Of course, the plane is the best choice, if there are pilots survived, it can be used to develop a global business, but money has lost all meaning.

It's a pity that the unmanned flight technology is not yet mature enough to be fully automated, otherwise, no matter how expensive the manned aircraft is, they are now useless things they want to use.

Some people also hope to change the time of the Internet to be accurate. The time of the mobile phone always conflicts with the weather outside, and it feels very uncomfortable.

The joker has always seldom spoke, and he doesn't know what he is doing silently, but now he expresses arrogantly: Anyone who wants to change it can change it, anyway, he won't change it.

Yi Alan is not as good at hacking as joker, but now the time server and time network protocol are left unattended, just like an empty room with an iron lock, as long as he is given enough time and bandwidth, he can still break open the lock violently. Enter the server to modify the time data.

Yi Alan asked Zhou Yanan what he thought about this.

Zhou Yan'an thought for a moment and said: "Although I don't see any need to change the time, it happened together with the disappearance of human beings. Maybe we can find some clues from it, so let's keep the current wrong time. I will go to the watch shop tomorrow. Take a few watches to check the correct time, and the wrong time will not affect our lives."

Yi Alan nodded in agreement.

But in fact, it is very likely that he does not agree and has no choice, because the joker is very eager to provoke again: now he has taken over most of the important network servers remotely, and if he wants to change the time, he must pass his test first.

I don't know who the joker is, whether it's good or bad, but he did use the Internet to save the mental state of many people. joker even reassured everyone that he is working hard to find out which satellites in the world have Internet functions. If the lack of power causes the ground network communication to be paralyzed, there will be network satellites as the last guarantee for their communication.This gave many people a short period of peace.After all, this doomsday, when supplies are so abundant that they can be picked up, is not terrible, what is terrible is loneliness.

Yi Alan noticed that the avatar of the joker in the 32nd community was a big ace of poker. It turned out that his joker did not mean the clown, but the king of the field.

Now, joker is indeed the king of the internet.

Yi Alan thought so when he quit the 32nd community.

Yi Alan took a cold shower in the bathroom.The hospital's hot water supply uses an air source hot water system, centrally controlled, which is usually energy-saving and environmentally friendly, but now it consumes too much electricity, so Zhou Yanan turned it off.Just use the electric kettle to heat some hot water for the parturient and the baby, and the two big men will make up for it temporarily. Zhou Yanan will always find a better solution tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

Two mobile hospital beds are placed at the door of the corridor. Yi Alan and Zhou Yan'an will sleep here for one night. They can not only avoid suspicion with the parturient, but also see the progress of the parturient and the baby at any time.

The baby was very noisy at night, and the mother must not be able to take care of the child by herself, so Yi Alan and Zhou Yan'an took turns to help, which also meant that they could not sleep well.

The corridor of the hospital was long and deep, and the moonlight fell in from the windows at both ends, which could only protect a small area.

Lying on the hospital bed, Yi Alan watched the light spot at the end of the corridor change shape with the rising and setting of the moon, and fell into sleep because of it.Yi Alan still had a vague and weak consciousness in his sleep. He thought he just took a short nap and would wake up soon, or was awakened by the baby crying, but he fell into a deep sleep and slept for a long time.

Yi Alan was woken up.

But not baby cries.

It was a noise that was mixed with various sounds, but it was not so harsh. Wheels ran over the road, pedestrians greeted each other, students ran, dogs barked... the sound of a city waking up, even sound-proof glass could not stop it from flourishing Vigorous.

Yi Alan opened his eyes, and saw that the long-used goose-yellow curtains in his home were being decorated brightly and lightly by the rising sun.
