72 Cats, 300 million mice. On a deserted island with a nuclear leak, there is no way out.
Miaoqiang is the most common civet cat among them. After struggling in the sewers for three years, he thought he was no longer afraid of death.
Before leaving, he wrote a line in his book at home——
"Sanhua, wait until I come back to propose marriage."
The cat who promised to wait for his return died on the island. She used her body to block the soldier rat's canine teeth for him, and her last words were: "As you promised... Go back alive..."
He brought back four things from the island: her dog tag, a piece of cloth from a comrade, three letters sent with his life by another comrade, and a promise that could never be fulfilled.
In Ark City, there is a pregnant wife waiting for her husband to come home. He sent false letters again and again and made up lies again and again. Until one day, he saw the tombstone in front of her house——
"I already knew it," she said.
He knew why the Yinjian layer named Mengmeng came. Her brother Daju was saved by Miao Qiang in the sewer three years ago and left three letters before his death. The first letter said "Just stay alive"; the second letter said "You have to keep walking"; and the third letter was sent by her own life.
Intent: This is a story about "loss" - losing comrades, losing lovers, and losing the opportunity to fulfill promises. But this is more of a story about "living with loss." Miao Qiang did not resurrect Sanhua Empress. He hung her cat tag on the wall, visited her every day, and then returned to Ark City, eating unpalatable cat food and keeping alive for the 68 cats. Not letting go. It is to carry them on their backs.
