Rebirth at the end of the world: I report to the country

February 8, 2025, 7:25 a.m. Eastern Time - nearly a day has passed since the first wave of alien disaster broke out.

One of the effective answers to how to hate a song you love is to set it as your wake-up alarm.

It was clearly the title song of a band that she once liked very much, but now it was as terrifying as a reminder in Chi Yan's ears.

What's even scarier is that it's already the last round of ringtones - Chi Yan's habit of setting alarm clocks is a little different. For example, just like now, if she has to get up at 7:25 at the latest, she will even wake up at 6:30. When she wakes up, she sets an alarm clock. The purpose of this alarm clock is of course not to get her up, but to wake her up, and then she will feel comfortable and realize that she still has about an hour to go to sleep and get some sleep.

Before the era of natural disasters, Chi Yan's happiest moment was when she suddenly woke up from a sleep break. She checked her alarm clock and found that it was only two or three in the middle of the night, and there was still plenty of time to sleep.

Therefore, there are also the most unhappy moments - after waking up naturally, I find that there is only one minute left before my alarm clock rings and it is time to get up. Of course, the most terrifying thing is when I wake up naturally, I find that I have overslept. .

Chi Yan originally thought that everyone was like this, but after sharing her alarm clock settings with her roommate Zou Wanhong, the other party was extremely shocked and puzzled because she could not understand the meaning of this kind of 'returning sleep', and even more so. Unable to derive happiness from it, she preferred to sleep until 7:25 at a time.

Thinking of this, Chi Yan didn't know what was going on with Zou Wanhong on the other side of the ocean. She didn't know if she still liked to sleep enough at once. If she was still sleeping now, forget it, it had nothing to do with her.

What concerns me is that I will be doomed if I don’t get up.

Chi Yan had already stayed in bed before. Although she was reluctant to hear this 'waking up song', she finally sat up, changed her clothes and walked downstairs.

Today there is only my father downstairs, and my mother has already left for work. After all, if her mother were here, she would try to wake herself up together with the alarm clock.

"Yanyan, are you up? The porridge is in the pot. Go scoop it out yourself. It should still be hot, so be careful."

The father who was reading a technical tutorial book raised his head and said something to Chi Yan, then lowered his head and continued reading - he seemed to be trying to get a certificate that could increase his salary recently, so he started to 'study' again.

"Yeah, okay." If it were breakfast made by her mother, Chi Yan might be picky and put forward her own opinions, but Chi Yan would not do that for her father's breakfast.

——Because the requirement has become that as long as you can eat and stay alive.

Although the technical content of this pot of porridge is relatively low, there seems to be nothing wrong with it. Chi Yan is still very satisfied.

After a brief chat with her father, Chi Yan began to browse her mobile phone and took advantage of this time to wait for the porridge to cool down a little.

Chi Yan is browsing short videos at the moment, but there is still a big gap between the current short videos and the short videos before the era of natural disasters. There is very little entertainment content, and there is basically no pure entertainment content.

Most of them share the current situation of the country in a way that is more easily accepted by young people, such as what new developments are in science and technology, and when can this technology be applied to people's livelihood; for example, what battle reports have been returned from the front line, How many alien species have been eliminated? In the era of natural disasters, what are some tips for daily life that can improve efficiency or save materials.

Chi Yan didn't think there was anything wrong with this short video, which had almost no entertaining content.

Now that the alien tide has really broken out, the Eastern soldiers on the front lines are doing their best to ensure a good living environment for the Eastern people in the rear. Under the high pressure of the alien tide, casualties have begun to occur.

Although the purpose of the soldiers is that the people in the rear can live and work in peace and contentment, times have changed after all. There is no longer the capital to entertain themselves to death. People have and must know the more important situation now.

The people in front are bleeding, and the people behind are enjoying themselves in ignorance. This is inappropriate no matter how you think about it. It is really unfair to those who are struggling on the front line.

"Turn your voice down, don't affect your dad's study." Chi Yan's father joked with a smile, "Oh, are you a student or am I a student?"

"A little bit, I know." Chi Yan stuck out her tongue, then put the phone on the table, took out the Bluetooth headset from her pocket and prepared to put it on.

But at this moment, Chi Yan's cell phone and the cell phone placed aside by Chi Yan's father both buzzed.

"Citizens of Lingnan, please note that a group of flying mutants are expected to arrive at your location in about twenty minutes. The danger level is currently rated as D. It is impossible to break through the defense lines set up by Lingnan City. However, please temporarily stop all outdoor activities. Find a nearby bunker to take shelter, and wait for the military to eliminate the threat and notify you before going out for action.

Attention Lingnan citizens, it is expected that..."

The red warning screen and the female voice coming from the hand conveyed this message to the two of them.

Chi Yan and Chi Yan's father looked at each other. After a brief daze, they both stopped laughing and became serious. One put his Bluetooth headset back, and the other closed the book in front of him and turned up the volume on his mobile phone. After listening to it again at the highest level, they didn't even bother to drink the porridge. They both came to the window in tacit understanding and looked up at the sky.

But the sky was cloudless at this time, and the Bell of Disaster was extremely clear in it. There was no flying alien species visible, but thinking about it, it would take twenty minutes to arrive, so it was normal that we couldn't see it now.

But it can be seen that there are many people in the surrounding buildings who have the same idea as the Chi family and his daughter, and they are all watching from the windows.

And those citizens who had gone out naturally received the news and changed their direction one after another.

Because the danger level is only D, there is no need to hide in a professional air raid shelter like facing an air raid. If nothing else, a threat of this level cannot really invade Lingnan City. As long as you don't go out, then Everyone started to rush home.

If citizens cannot return home within twenty minutes, or those who are at home but are worried because it is their first time facing a foreign species, they will choose to gather in the nearest public building and seek official asylum. .

Chi Yan's cell phone rang again at this time, but this time it was her mother's call. After Chi Yan picked up the call, the two of them informed each other that they were safe.

Mother is already at work and has no intention of going home - as a civil servant, to be honest, if the alien species invades the building where Chi Yan's mother is located, it will not be even a bit safer than their home. The call is just to I just want to remind the two people at home to pay attention to their safety and never go out.

But in the end, they were reassured and informed that Lingnan City's defense system had been activated and it was almost impossible to pose any threat this time.

"But this is not good news after all. Does this mean that our front line has reached the limit of endurance and can no longer stop all the alien species? Zhonghe City will not collapse, right?" After hanging up the phone, Chi Yan's father said worriedly.
