Survivor's Guide to Survival

Xiao Wu looked up at the screen, his neck gradually became a little stiff due to maintaining the same movement for a long time, which made him lower his head quietly, and unconsciously glanced at the group of people with fanaticism in their eyes.

No one noticed the distraction of the young juniors. Everyone raised their heads and looked closely at the flashing red dots on the screen. The gray-haired old man sitting in the middle even had uncontrollable tears in his eyes. .

On the screen, the red dot has passed through the atmosphere, falling down along the yellow predetermined track as in the calculation, if a careful person looks down at the lower right corner of the screen at this time, he will find the red dot The end point connected by the yellow line of the falling trajectory is this unknown island in the South China Sea.

The red dot was already some distance away from the atmosphere, and the screen showed that it was falling faster and faster. The old man stared at the red dot, the excitement in his eyes became more and more uncontrollable, and he couldn't help but muttered: :"finally come……"

The observation room was filled with joyful atmosphere. Xiao Wu licked the corners of his dry lips, but felt flustered for no reason. He turned his head subconsciously, and caught the young man who was always used to standing at the outermost part of the crowd to observe the whole situation with his eyes.

The young man has extremely short black hair, and his chiseled face is usually expressionless. A crisp uniform looks very appropriate on him, giving off a calm and reliable feeling just like himself.

As if feeling the gaze on his face, Ning Xiao, who was also staring at the screen, suddenly turned his head and met Xiao Wu's scrutinizing gaze. Puzzled.

Seeing that his peeping was discovered, Xiao Wu looked away in embarrassment, pretending to have a strong interest in the machine behind Ning Xiao, and dared not stare at him again.

The eyes of the two intersected for a few seconds in a short period of time, and there was no disturbance in the observation room.

Seeing that the red dot was halfway through, the old man suddenly said, "Senior Colonel Ning, I need to trouble you to pick it up."

"Okay." The young man's voice was deep and magnetic, with an indescribable sense of calmness.

At the same time, at Nancheng University thousands of miles away, Huo Yizhou, who hurriedly packed up his stationery and left when he heard the closing music of the library, habitually looked up at the night sky the moment he walked out of the library.

As far as he could see, there was a silver arc flying across the night sky and falling into the distance.

"There are meteors..." Huo Yizhou looked at the sky thoughtfully, but the fleeting white light did not cause him to think deeply, he quickly lowered his head, swiped open the phone screen, and clicked on the WeChat chat on the top Bar, sent a message to the other party.

Xiaozhou: Brother Owl, I came out of the library and am going back to the dormitory.

After sending the message, Huo Yizhou put the phone back in his pocket and didn't care about it anymore - because he knew that this WeChat message would not get any reply from the other party.

The red dot fell into the waters near the island as expected, and the salvage ship waiting nearby arrived at the crash site as quickly as possible, salvaged the fallen object, and immediately sent it to the off-road vehicle bound for Sky Lab.

The young soldier in charge of the escort put away his things and walked around to the front row, then opened the car door and looked in, only then did he see the face of the person sitting in the driver's seat clearly.After being stunned for a few seconds, he let go of the car door, straightened his back, saluted the other party upright, and greeted the other party in a loud voice: "Senior Colonel Ning!" Colonel Ning Xiao, the youngest in the base!

Ning Xiao nodded slightly in response, and started the car: "Come on, Dr. Zhang is still waiting."

Under the moonlight, the off-road vehicle drove further and further away, gradually melting into the darkness.

The young soldier was sitting in the passenger seat. After driving a long way, his hands and feet were still stiff and he didn't know where to put them.He was a little excited, he had been on Jiutian Island for a year and a half, and this was the first time he saw Senior Colonel Ning at such a close distance.

Looking at the handsome profile of the young man, the soldier secretly sighed in his heart: Colonel Ning is so handsome.However, he didn't dare to boast about this in front of Ning Xiao, for fear that this young commander would turn down his face and lose his temper with him.

After a while, seeing that Ning Xiao was not as scary as he had imagined, the little soldier let go of his heart, and he couldn't help but asked Ning Xiao in a low voice: "Senior Colonel Ning... the fish that was caught What is it?"

Ning Xiao didn't answer. He glanced at the little soldier with a half-smile, and continued to focus on the road in front of him.

Obviously Ning Xiao didn't say anything, but the little soldier felt a sense of oppression, he closed his mouth and didn't dare to say another word.After that, the two of them were silent all the way, and the car drove quickly and steadily on the rough gravel road, until half an hour later, a white building complex gradually appeared at the end of the road, and gradually became clear in sight.

When the car passed the central iron gate, the sentries on both sides saluted Ning Xiao respectfully.Then, the little soldier saw that the big lamp that had never been on in the center of the main base of the sky was lit up, and the whole building suddenly became bright as day.

The car finally stopped by the steps outside the research institute, and as soon as it stopped, four researchers surrounded them, quickly and carefully lifted the salvaged objects into an airtight container, and then disappeared holding the container in the door.

Ning Xiao got out of the car, glanced at the little soldier who followed him tremblingly, and said to him, "It's hard work."

The little soldier shivered, straightened his body even more, and answered Ning Xiao loudly: "It's not hard! Colonel Ning is even harder!"

"You go back," Ning Xiao waved his hand, turned around and walked to the research institute: "Drive the car back."

The little soldier stood there blankly for a while, until Ning Xiao's back disappeared around the corner, and then he came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream, saluted the corner, and responded with a straight voice. "Yes", got into the car and started the engine.

After Ning Xiao returned to the base dormitory, he first glanced at the clock hanging on the wall. The clock face showed that the hour hand was close to 3, and the minute hand was between 10 and 11.

It seems that the little guy has fallen asleep.Ning Xiao sighed inaudibly, took out a mobile phone from the drawer, opened WeChat, clicked on the top chat box, and sent a message to the opposite party.

Asuka: Xiaozhou, good night.

After sending it out, a red exclamation mark appeared next to the green dialog box, indicating that the message failed to be sent.Pulling up, countless green messages have the same red exclamation mark next to them.Without exception, the news did not reach Xiaozhou's side.

This is the Cangqiong Base on Jiutian Island in the South China Sea. The base personnel signed a strict confidentiality agreement. During the base period, they were asked not to contact any relatives or friends, and to confide half a word about the base.

Ning Xiao held the old mobile phone case in his hand, and unconsciously rubbed the wallpaper of the mobile phone screen that was lit up with his thumb.

His screen wallpaper is a photo of Huo Yizhou laughing at the camera, which was taken during the summer vacation when Huo Yizhou was admitted to Nancheng University.In June of that year, Ning Xiao specially asked for leave and rushed back to Nancheng, accompanied Huo Yizhou to check his grades and fill out his application, then went to several nearby cities with him, and took a few group photos at each scenic spot.However, before he saw the admission notice, an urgent secret order brought him to this isolated island, and before he left, he didn't even have time to say goodbye to Huo Yizhou.

Now that he has been on the island for three years, Huo Yizhou is about to enter his senior year, and he doesn't know whether the little guy wants to take the postgraduate entrance examination or find a job directly in the future.Ning Xiao's old father had a mental attack, and unconsciously fell into deep thought again...

Huo Yizhou had a dream again. He dreamed that he was back in the summer vacation of his third year of high school. Ning Xiao accompanied him to play shooting games in the largest playground in Nancheng. He won the biggest teddy bear in the whole park just by playing casually.He was walking on the road with a bear in his arms, and many girls around him cast envious eyes on him. He saw that there were more interesting games in the tent not far away. It rang, and Ning Xiao walked further and further away amidst the ringing...

Huo Yizhou woke up from his sleep, the ringing in his ears still did not stop, he soon realized that it was not the sound in his dream, he half sat up from the bed, only then did he realize that the ringing was coming from the next bed.

"Fuck, the nap ringtone is set at the wrong time!" The roommate, who was also awakened by the ringtone, glanced at the alarm reminder sleepily, and complained in a low voice, "It's really unlucky!"

The roommate turned off the alarm, put the phone behind the pillow beside the pillow, and fell asleep again in a daze.

Huo Yizhou, who was half sitting up, couldn't fall asleep. He took his mobile phone and turned on the screen, and stared at the man with the cold face on the desktop wallpaper for a while.

It is a tacit understanding that the two people who are thousands of miles away unexpectedly choose to use each other's single photo as a mobile phone screen.It's just that it's different from the photo in Ning Xiao's hand, which shows him smiling generously at the camera, the one in Huo Yizhou's hand is obviously taken secretly.

Huo Yizhou stared at the photo and was stunned for a while, sighed lowly, and muttered in a low voice: "I don't know where you went to perform the mission... When will you come back?" However, the photo is just a photo, and it can't give Huo Yizhou any Answer.

This should have been an ordinary evening in late March.Huo Yizhou and Ning Xiao sent each other a message that they could not receive a response as usual, and then fell asleep thinking about 1000 million hypotheses about their reunion.However, when recalling this ordinary night after a long time, Huo Yizhou finally tasted something unusual.

In the memoirs of countless survivors recalling that grotesque time, this night is called "Advent Night".

When the last gift of God fell to the earth, Pandora's box was also opened.
