Residual Temperature for Ten Seconds

On the ruins of collapsed civilization, half the sky was stained red by burning embers, zombies staggered, mutated beasts roared, and scavengers betrayed their own kind for half a bottle of water. Sun Erlin'er is just the most inconspicuous survivor in the apocalypse. He doesn't have the power to destroy the world. He only has one ability that he regards as "waste" - looking back ten seconds before death. These ten seconds can't save others, let alone cause trouble. They can only give him one more chance to hide under the claws of the Iron Spine Beast, and one more chance to dodge in front of the fangs of the zombies. Carrying a curled-edged fire ax and carrying moldy biscuits, he had a brush with death at an abandoned gas station and struggled to move forward on a road overgrown with grass. Until he met Yaya, a girl holding an empty mineral water bottle. Her timid eyes reminded him of his lost relatives and the fireworks of the past. From now on, his ten seconds are no longer just for himself. It was Lao Zheng with an injured leg, the boy hiding potatoes, and the vigilant scavenger with a stick in the brick kiln that allowed him to encounter the glimmer of humanity in a desperate situation; it was the strange rumors of the "shadow", the smell of moldy corn and roasted rat meat that made every step step on the edge of survival and destruction. There is no grand salvation narrative, only the struggle of small characters among the ruins. Sun Erlin'er relied on the red mark left by the trace back on her palm and used countless ten seconds to piece together the hope of birth. With the people who needed to be protected, she walked step by step towards a possible tomorrow among the embers.
