While the world is sleeping, she has begun a race against death - just to hug her parents before the virus breaks out.
Zhu Yao, a doctoral student in biology, received an early warning message from his overseas best friend: "Yao Yao! The most advanced virus leaked! Airborne transmission! Go home quickly! Don't trust anyone!!"
The town where my parents live is still peaceful. Knowing the news in advance is her only chance to get ahead of the doomsday torrent!
Giving up a degree that was within your reach? Throw away a lifetime of researching data? Cut off all the future that the laboratory symbolizes? Not a second of hesitation! While others were still complaining about the signal and planning the weekend high-speed rail, Zhu Yao was already about to leave. She only grabbed her backpack and family photos and rushed out of the laboratory - her battlefield was the passage of civilization that was still functioning but about to collapse!
The campus is bustling, and high-speed rail tickets are still available for purchase... But Zhu Yao knows that under the calm, shadows grow wildly. She raced against time: to board the last train? Looking for an alternative route? Circumvent a potential blockade? She is not a warrior, but the most sober "escaper" before the end of the world. The only weapons are extreme calmness, precise judgment, and the obsession to achieve reunion even after burning the past.
This is a huge gamble to exchange all the "future" for the "now".
She squeezed out every second, rushed to the station, and crossed the increasingly turbulent city... The goal was as clear as a blade:
Go home before the virus tears the world apart! Hug Mom and Dad!
Intention: family affection
