Sitting on the wing of the plane, Meng Nan was eating hot dogs and watching the sunset.
He gradually felt what Will Smith felt at that time, no, it should be said that it was how Dr. Robert felt at that time.
The big city is deserted, and no matter where you go, you feel the same loneliness.
Life seems to be becoming less and less important, and Meng Nan's condition is even worse than Dr. Robert's.
After all, Dr. Robert still has goals and hopes. After all, Dr. Robert still has a dog.
But Meng Nan had nothing. He also tried to snatch the lion cubs and keep them as pets, but failed.
Moreover, this world may be far further away from the day when the end of the world breaks out than Dr. Robert's world, perhaps ten years after the end, perhaps twenty years after that.
All clocks have almost stopped and the vast majority of vehicles have been scrapped.
Foods that once had a long shelf life have now become moldy and spoiled, and the variety of food has become pitiful.
Meng Nan also tried planting and hand-making, but Meng Nan was a qualified killer, but not a qualified worker.
So Meng Nan tried countless times and failed countless times.
Until the end, Meng Nan could only manage to keep herself from being hungry.
Soon, the sunset had completely set, and Meng Nan slowly stood up and walked towards his shelter.
From time to time along the way, dark seekers will wake up from the shadows, running and hunting in the city.
But none of the dark seekers would attack Meng Nan. They seemed to be in two different worlds. As long as Meng Nan wasn't wandering around at midnight, those dark seekers would simply ignore him.
Soon, Meng Nan returned to the shelter, turned on the hot water, and took a quiet bath.
This is why Meng Nan chose this hotel. This hotel has its own engine and can also provide water and power.
After taking a shower, Meng Nan returned to the room and took out a diary with a red cover.
Then he gently opened the diary.
What I saw in the diary was a portrait of an individual.
Chen Rui'er, Xia Wenqing, Chen Song, Li Shiming, Man Sisi...Haoyue, Menglonglong...
Meng Nan turned over the pages and looked at them carefully.
He was afraid that he would gradually forget the appearance of these people because of time, and he was afraid that he would gradually forget the existence of these people because of time.
But despite this, even though Meng Nan carefully looked at the portraits of his companions every day, he still gradually felt more and more unfamiliar.
"Ahem." After reading the book once, Meng Nan took out another book and read aloud word for word.
As Meng Nan read aloud, figures appeared outside the windows of the shelter. They clung to the wall. They did not surprise or attack, but lay there quietly.
They were listening, listening to the sound of Meng Nan reading aloud.
This has been the case for several years and decades...
But despite all these years of development, despite all these years of progress, Darkseeker still seems unable to take that step.
Their wisdom is getting higher and higher, and their order is becoming more and more stable, but the Dark Seekers will never be able to speak or create.
They can imitate, they can learn, they can lay traps, they can use tools, but they just can't create anything new.
So they longed for Meng Nan's voice, for the knowledge in the book, and for knowing more about it all.
That's right, after humans become Darkseekers, perhaps due to the virus, or perhaps due to significant brain degeneration, most of their memories will disappear.
After all, it was as if they had become a new person, with nothing left except a small amount of emotion.
At the same time, Meng Nan also discovered that, perhaps due to long-term exposure to high temperatures above 40 degrees, the physical fitness of the Dark Seekers far exceeded that of humans.
They can easily lift a car and run at the speed of a world champion without fear of pain or fear.
But they paid for it with their lives.
High temperature brings strong physical fitness, but it also brings about accelerated cell division.
The speed of human cell division is limited, even if it has been modified by the measles virus, even if it has mutated.
Therefore, usually humans can live to be over eighty years old, but for dark seekers, forty years is already the limit.
In addition, Meng Nan also discovered that Darkseekers do have the ability to reproduce, but the reproductive cycle of Darkseekers is much shorter than that of humans.
Perhaps this is also due to the acceleration of cell division caused by high temperature. Under normal circumstances, a Darkseeker can give birth to a life in four months.
And these new dark seekers have an even stronger desire for knowledge.
However, their understanding of human language is also worse. Meng Nan once tried to communicate, but found that these new dark seekers could not understand what he was saying.
That's right, these dark seekers outside the window were just trying hard to listen, and couldn't understand what Meng Nan was reading at that time.
As for Meng Nan, he had actually known about this for a long time, and he felt that it didn't matter. As long as these dark seekers didn't rush in and attack him, there was no need for him to drive them all away.
Even at this time, Meng Nan still felt a faint sense of comfort.
It seems that these dark seekers outside the window will tell Meng Nan that he is not alone.
After reading dozens of pages, Meng Nan gently closed the book, then went to the window and knocked lightly.
Immediately, the dark seeker outside the window understood what Meng Nan meant and left here quietly.
Then Meng Nan closed the curtains, lay on the bed and fell asleep slowly.
It has been like this every day for how many years, without any changes or surprises.
At dawn, search and explore; at sunset, watch and feel; at night, take a bath and read; late at night, rest and fall asleep.
Maybe some people feel that they enjoy such days, everything is so peaceful and no one disturbs them, which is great.
But only by truly falling into this world can people understand the pain.
When silence is no longer a choice but a necessity, and when communication becomes a luxury, then even those who originally like silence will hate it.
When the sky lit up again, Meng Nan sat up a little anxiously and rubbed his forehead angrily before calming down little by little.
Then Meng Nan got up, put on clothes, and left the shelter.
Another day is the same as always, another day without any changes.
But Meng Nan couldn't give up. He was afraid that if he slacked off just a little bit, he would never be able to stand up again.
Sometimes, a thought pops up in Meng Nan's mind: "It would be nice to become a seeker of darkness, at least I won't be alone..."
