At 5 o'clock in the morning, the scorching sun in the desert urged the boy to get up. He still wasn't used to this unique adventure, but he was thirsty and hungry. The intense sun transmitted heat through the sand to every part of his body. He longed for water, forcing him to leave the sand pit. Looking around, he cried in the face of everything before him. In this deserted desert, his fear turned into tears, and soon, he couldn't even cry. Extreme dehydration made the boy's consciousness increasingly blurry. His previous adventurous curiosity turned into regretful tears. His vision gradually blurred, and he even began to hallucinate, seeing a house ahead.
A house? Yes, it was a house! 0307 immediately perked up. He hadn't seen wrong; it was a house. His gaze was fixed on the house, and with his remaining consciousness, he desperately ran forward, like a zombie. Inside the house, the people were leisurely making breakfast, unaware that a visitor was about to arrive.
Two eggs, a cup of fresh milk, and a piece of bread - this was the owner's most common meal. In this wooden house, there was an old man over a hundred years old, three chickens, a cow, and three dogs. They had been living here for decades, and the old man was the last resident on Earth. Breakfast was quickly prepared. There was no TV in the wooden house because there was no electricity left on Earth. He flipped through a newspaper from a hundred years ago, from 2020, when a terrible global pandemic was erupting on Earth, and ultimately...
The old man was carefully reading the newspaper, occasionally jotting something down with a pen. Although he had read this newspaper countless times, he was still very focused. He sat on the sofa, eating bread and reading the paper, while the rooster in the house occasionally crowed, acting as a timekeeper. When the rooster crowed three times as usual, the old man was startled and dropped the pen in his hand. It was the sound of the wooden door being knocked - a knock on the door! The old man put on his reading glasses in disbelief and waited for a moment. "Thump, thump," it really was a knock on the door! The old man trembled slightly as he walked up and unbelievably opened the door. A dark-skinned boy with cracked lips said, "Community 0307, please scan the code, sir." The old man was stunned. Before he could react, the boy had already entered the house. "Sir, aren't you going to scan the code?" the boy asked. "What community is this? I've never been here before. Can I have a drink of water?"
"Where are you from? Child, you, it's impossible, you shouldn't be here either!" The old man's emotions went from panic to a bit of excitement, with a hint of anger in the excitement. "Forget it, forget it, quickly, drink the milk first, otherwise your mouth will crack open."
"What is this?"
"I know you haven't drunk it before, but you should drink it, go on, drink it, it's good for you, child."
The boy looked at the liquid in the cup, his body's instinctive desire for water made him ignore everything else, he picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp.
"Sweet! So sweet! Can I have another cup, sir?"
"Oh, child, Molly only produces one cup a day. If you squeeze too much, she won't be happy." The old man smiled and pointed to the mother cow resting under the dining table, then led the boy to the back door. "If you're still thirsty, you can go for a swim inside, hahaha."
