From doomsday survival to fast-forward daily life

The police car sent Tian Yu to the gate of the community. Police officer Lao Chen patted her on the shoulder and said, "Go back and have a good rest. Don't think too much. Our society is very safe."

Tian Yu swallowed the rebuttal on her lips, nodded silently and got out of the police car. When the old men and women at the gate of the community saw her getting out of the police car, they all greeted her and said, "Xiao Yu is back?"

Aunt Wang asked curiously, "Did he go to deal with your father's affairs?"

Before Tian Yu could answer, the sister next to Aunt Wang nudged her and said, "Xiao Yu, go home and have a good rest. If you need any help, we old neighbors can help you."

After thanking the enthusiastic uncle and aunt, Tian Yu quickly returned to her home on the fifth floor. She first looked around to make sure that there was no one around, and then quickly opened the three door locks of the house and then locked them at an extremely fast speed.

After making sure the door was closed, she checked the fishing line she had set up at the door, then took out her cell phone to check the surveillance when she was not at home, and finally checked the windows of the two-bedroom and one-living room carefully. After making sure that no one had broken in while she was not at home, she finally relaxed and collapsed on the sofa.

She lives in the old neighborhood where she grew up. She has lived here with her father since her mother passed away. Two months ago, her father passed away due to illness. She began to live alone and became more cautious in her life.

Tian Yu's father is an old policeman. She followed in her father's footsteps and entered the police academy. However, her originally smooth academic career was disrupted by an accident in her junior year.

That year, she and her roommate and best friend Gu Wenwen went on vacation to a mountain villa near Linhai City during the summer vacation. The two did not notice anything unusual when they checked into the B&B. That evening, Wenwen said that she was feeling a little unwell, so Tian Yu went out alone to a nearby farm to buy dinner. The seafood hotpot around Linhai is very famous, and the farm's business was booming that day. When she came back with dinner for the two, a strong smell of blood was waiting for her in the room.

In her later memories, Tian Yu felt as if her soul had floated out of her body. Apart from panic, grief, and self-blame, numbness occupied all her memories of that period.

The suspect was quickly arrested. What made Tian Yu feel guilty was that when the two entered the room of the homestay, the man hid in the closet and waited until Tian Yu went out. Wenwen, who was not feeling well, fell asleep quickly, which gave him an opportunity.

Since that day, Tian Yu received a long period of psychological counseling. When the school and doctors believed that she could continue her studies, she quietly began to doubt everything around her. Her father dismantled all the cabinets in the house that could hide people, and also followed her advice to redecorate the house.

Three large doors, explosion-proof glass, modified circuits, solar panels, reinforced sewer pipes, etc. The father who always doted on Tian Yu silently supported her in resolving her anxiety.

Tian Yu graduated from the police academy with an extremely cautious lifestyle. Although her psychological problems allowed her to lead a normal life, they prevented her from passing the assessment to enter the police unit.

By chance, a popular science article she posted online called "Women's Self-Defense Guide" became popular, and she began to run her own self-media account, focusing on teaching various self-defense and life safety knowledge.

For her, this method can help her remember Wenwen. Later, Tian Yu began to dabble in writing. Based on real cases, she wrote many crime novels.

Two years after graduation, Tian Yu had been living a relatively good life by relying on her own media and writing. Until two months ago, shortly after her father passed away, an electronic voice suddenly rang in her mind: "Host, have you confirmed to bind to the safe survival system?"

The voice startled Tian Yu. The vigilance she had developed over the past few years made her subconsciously hold her breath and not answer. After waiting for a while and no more sound came, she began to perform various checks on the door locks and electronic equipment in her home, but found nothing unusual.

Her years of caution made her dare not ignore it. She first suspected that she was being played a prank or monitored, and began to investigate the surroundings.

For seven consecutive days, she found that this voice would sound on time at three o'clock in the afternoon. After several checks and explorations, Tian Yu was sure that the voice came from her own mind, and if she did not answer, it would ask again the next day. Tian Yu thought that she might have hallucinations, so she went to see a psychologist.

The results of the biochemical test were normal. The doctor advised her to relax, saying that perhaps the pain and pressure brought by her father's death caused her hallucinations. The doctor also advised her to take medication. After returning home from the hospital, the voice still rang at three o'clock in the afternoon for half a month. She felt something was wrong and gradually became more panicked.

This afternoon, when the voice sounded again, she angrily yelled, "No! Will his father ever stop?"

This was the first time she responded to this voice. Then, the cold electronic voice had another content for the first time: "It is detected that the host refuses to bind to the system. The novice copy will be automatically opened in three days."

Automatically turn on after three days?!

Tian Yu didn't know whether she had mental problems or someone was really threatening her, so she chose to call the police. However, she had no evidence, and her father's former colleague also thought that she might have developed psychological problems due to the stress of her father's death, so he took note and personally sent her home.

Tian Yu called the system countless times on the sofa but received no response. Only the countdown that appeared after the prompt that the novice copy would automatically open in three days kept jumping in his mind.

Countdown to opening the novice copy: 68:13:45

Looking at the time that was getting shorter and shorter in his mind, Tian Yu opened his eyes.

"Whatever the hell it is, I have to stay calm!"

The voice in my head said before that this is a survival system, and what it needs to survive are nothing more than natural disasters or man-made disasters. Although it is not clear now whether this is an illusion or reality, I must cheer up and deal with it.

Assuming that this is a system that only you can see and hear, then according to the general routine of online articles, there are only two types of copies: real world copies and teleportation copies. If it is a teleportation copy, you can only rely on your own survival knowledge and physical strength. A worse situation may be that you travel through time and space to someone else's body, and then the physical fitness that you have insisted on exercising for many years will be of no use.

What I can do now is to arm myself for the real world first, review all kinds of crisis management knowledge again and keep practicing in the remaining time!

Opening the phone, I realized that all the funds I could currently use could only raise about 30 yuan, a large part of which was my father's inheritance.

Tian Yu already had a plan for countermeasures against the real-world copies. She first got up and looked up various types of information, including infectious diseases, earthquakes, heavy rains, etc.

During college, she always ranked among the top in her information security class. At the same time, after Wenwen's incident, she became more cautious and eliminated all kinds of dangers one by one. In addition, due to the nature of her writing, she has always had the habit of collecting information every day.

The news has been quiet recently, but when Tian Yu opened Weibo, a popular science article released by the Meteorological Observatory caught his attention.

"The first large-scale snowfall in the north this year may come early. Are you ready to see the snow?"

It is now mid-September. Tian Yu is in the south, where the autumn heat is at its worst. The heat this year seems to be particularly long, and all the pedestrians on the street are dressed coolly. Although the four seasons in the north are more distinct, the article points out that the first round of snowfall may come at the end of September.

Tian Yu's heart was filled with alarm and he began to check the temperature.

After browsing the official website of the Meteorological Bureau and various official accounts, she found nothing. Maybe she was overthinking?

The alarm rang, and it was time to post a tweet today. Since Tian Yu became a blogger, she would regularly go online to post the tweets she prepared. She opened the software as usual, and the title of a post on the homepage made her stop her finger from moving.

"Why is all the charcoal in H City sold out?"
