A hundred years ago, a nuclear war triggered a global craze in biological evolution. While humans opened the shackles of genes, they also created countless terrifying beasts.
...
Jinchuan City.
Ten miles outskirts.
Golden sand dunes are everywhere, and the grains of sand are constantly emitting traces of heat to the surroundings, like smoke and steam.
In a low-lying area of many sand dunes, there is a sparse bush forest, and five or six fire ants are walking through it at the moment.
These fire ants are all about one meter in size, not including the pair of half-meter-long red tentacles on their heads. Their sharp mouths are in the shape of an inverted triangle, and a pair of sharp teeth are exposed and shining.
The whole body of the fire ants is a fiery red color, like burning flames. There are as many as six pairs of antennae, lying in the bushes, sometimes fast, sometimes slow, as if they are looking for food.
Halfway up the sand dune less than ten meters away from the bush, Jiang Ye lay there quietly. Except for his black eyes and nostrils for breathing, his entire body was buried in the golden sand.
Ignoring the slight sting caused by the scorching sand grains on his skin, Jiang Ye stared at a few fire ants not far away with unblinking eyes. He held a brown knife handle tightly in his right hand, but the entire bright blade,
It has all been immersed in the sand dunes.
Jiang Ye's eyes were full of coldness, and there was even a strong hatred hidden in them. He had been waiting for this moment for too long.
From the moment the nuclear war broke out a hundred years ago, the world structure has quietly changed. It is no longer a situation where human beings are the only one.
Fish, insects, birds and beasts have mutated, grown in size, become ferocious and bloodthirsty, and move quickly. Even pet cats and dogs have become extremely manic and are no longer suitable for domestication.
They occupy most of the wilderness, oceans and skies, and even every once in a while, they will gather together and attack cities where humans live, which is called a beast tide.
As for the daily conflicts with humans, they are countless. Every year, many people die in the mouths of insect beasts, and countless insect beasts are killed by human swords and guns.
Twelve years ago, when Jiang Ye was still a six-year-old child, two fire ants sneaked into Jiang Ye's home from the ground in the evening. Although the family fought hard, how could his father, who had only a dozen fighting abilities, be a match for the fire ants?
.
Fortunately, the sound of fighting and shouting attracted the attention of neighbor Lin Minglei. With a fighting strength of 70, he rushed directly into Jiang Ye's home and killed the two fire ants.
But in the end, Jiang Ye's father's right leg was pierced by the sharp teeth of fire ants, and his eight-year-old brother's eyes were injured by the formic acid sprayed by fire ants, causing him to become permanently blind. If not for his mother taking Jiang Ye and her sister Jiang Xin outside
Playing, I'm afraid the whole family will not be able to escape the poisonous hands.
Therefore, Jiang Ye has worked harder than others since he was a child, because he knows that he needs to change the fate of his family.
"Wait a minute, the fire ants' combat effectiveness is between fifty and eighty, and they are no match for me. But their agility is around 15, which is not much different from me. We must wait until these six fire ants gather together.
Wipe them all out, at least not as scattered as they are now."
In order to make people have a clear understanding of the difference in combat effectiveness between humans and other creatures, the federal government specially organized manpower and material resources to compile a "Combat Effectiveness Encyclopedia", which records the combat effectiveness of various fish, insects, birds and beasts, as well as their
Strength, agility, etc.
Moreover, this "Combat Power Encyclopedia" is constantly being improved, with new species information being added and original information being revised in a timely manner almost every day.
"Okay, now!"
About ten minutes later, he saw six fire ants not far from each other. Jiang Ye moved, and his entire body suddenly shot out of the sand dunes like a cannonball. The sword in his right hand shone brightly, and he jumped directly towards the fire ants in front of him.
.
"Zi!" "Zi!"
Six fire ants also discovered Jiang Ye's presence in an instant, and at the same time they let out ear-piercing screams. A slightly larger fire ant even jumped up and rushed towards Jiang Ye in the air.
Jiang Ye's eyes were sharp and he did not dodge. Although this was his first time facing fire ants, the huge gap in combat power still made him full of confidence.
Generally, a difference of about ten points in combat power will determine the outcome of a battle. As expected, the one with the higher combat power will win.
"call!"
As soon as the fire ants came close, two fiery red tentacles more than half a meter long were swept out towards Jiang Ye's waist, like steel whips, causing gusts of wind.
Jiang Ye held the sword in his hand. He calmly snorted, raised the sword above his head, and then slashed it down in the air against the fiery red tentacles.
"Ding!"
When the two collided, they made a unique golden sound when metal collided. Jiang Ye even said unconsciously, "It's so hard!"
Jiang Ye did not use the martial arts "Plum Blossom Sword Technique" at this moment, but chose to use his own strength to fight against the fire ants. In this way, his combat power at this time was only 61, and did not reach the maximum value of 81.
Jiang Ye did not use all his strength at once. In doing so, he was showing weakness to the fire ants. If he killed this fire ant with one knife, the other five on the ground would definitely scatter. What Jiang Ye wanted was to catch them all in one go.
.
But even so, this fire ant is not feeling well. Its combat power is only 57, which is 4 points lower than Jiang Ye. Although the sword did not directly cut off its tentacles, it still cut a wound, and blood continued to flow from it.
flow out from above.
Moreover, the fire ant's body also hit the sand dune heavily from the air and rolled more than ten meters away.
"Zi!" "Zi!"
Seeing this, the other five fire ants let out even more piercing screams, jumped up almost at the same time, and rushed from all directions towards Jiang Ye, who had just landed.
At the same time, five streams of green, sour-smelling liquid sprayed out from the mouths of the five fire ants, directly hitting Jiang Ye's face.
"Well done!"
Seeing this, Jiang Ye shouted loudly, took a big step forward with the sword in his right hand, and directly used the second level of the Plum Blossom Sword Technique, and his combat power instantly reached eighty-one.
With the sword light waving, two huge plum blossoms bloomed in front of Jiang Ye instantly, one on the left and one on the right, completely protecting him. The green formic acid was blocked by the plum blossoms formed by the sword light and could not move forward.
The Plum Blossom Sword Technique aims to wield the sword as densely as plum blossoms. It is divided into four layers, and each layer can produce one more plum blossom than the previous layer.
A plum blossom represents ten combat powers.
Plum Blossom Knife Technique is a basic martial art aimed at training the sword wielder's swing speed.
The knife must not only be strong and domineering, but also fast. In the same situation, every time you swing a knife, it means you have a better chance of winning than others.
"Beast, it's my turn!"
Seeing all the formic acid falling to the ground and eroding a large hole in the sand dunes, accompanied by a sizzling sound, Jiang Ye shouted again, held the sword in his hand, and slashed at the five fire ants that were approaching him.
Cut out horizontally.
The light of the sword was bright, and the entire bright blade instantly changed five times in the air, and each time there were several changes, such as plum blossoms blooming, and the sword making clanking and banging sounds.
When Jiang Ye stopped and turned around, there were already five headless fire ants at his feet. Scarlet blood was gushing out from between their necks, dyeing the pile of sand dunes red.
These six fire ants are not considered strong among their kind. The highest combat power is that of the fire ant that was hacked ten meters away by Jiang Ye. It is only fifty-seven, which is twenty-four points different from Jiang Ye's combat power.
A difference of ten in combat power can determine victory or defeat. If it is higher than twenty, it is a complete victory!
The fire ants who were more than ten meters away shook their heads. As soon as they got up again, they saw that all their companions were dead. Without hesitation, they ran away crazily in the opposite direction.
"I want to escape!" Jiang Ye sneered, "Five or six of you are running away together. I can't help it, but if you are the only one, you are dead!"
Jiang Ye's agility is 17, and the fire ant's agility is 16. Every time Jiang Ye takes a step forward to catch up, the distance between him and the fire ant decreases by one point.
Not long after, Jiang Ye was less than two meters away from the fire ant. Jiang Ye suddenly jumped into the air, and when he was above the fire ant, he swung his sword, and the light of the sword fell like a plum blossom, instantly killing the fire ant from the middle.
Divide it into two and cut it into two pieces.
"Dad, brother, I finally did it!"
After everything was over, Jiang Ye looked at the fire ant corpses around him and was lost in thought. He had been waiting for this day for too long.
Ever since the family accident happened when Jiang Ye was six years old, he had secretly decided in his heart that one day, he would kill the fire ants with his own hands to avenge his father and brother.
Although he knew at that time that the fire ants he killed in the future would never be the two that hurt his father and brother, Jiang Ye still regarded the fire ants as his goal and encouraged himself to continue to practice hard.
Jiang Ye understands that only by practicing hard, constantly improving his combat effectiveness, and becoming a strong man can he change everything in his family.
In the scorching sun, my father still had to limp one leg and stand by the stove, sweating like rain, forging iron.
It was freezing and snowy, and my mother had to brave the severe cold to clean the house of her employer and do housekeeping.
Jiang Ye couldn't remember how long it had been since her sister, who studied art, had bought herself a new piece of clothing. She only washed them when they were dirty, and then wore them after washing. Even if they were old and worn, she would still be able to change their styles with her ingenuity.
, then wear it again.
The reason why the parents and sister did this was just to make more money and save some money to treat their brother's eyes.
Although my brother's eyes were diagnosed as permanent blindness, the doctors also said that the formic acid that day did not completely necrotic the peripheral nerves of the eyes. As long as the peripheral nerves can be kept stable, maybe one day medical technology will take a step forward, or it will be possible to obtain
With those legendary things, my brother still has hope of regaining his sight.
Therefore, for this slim hope, the whole family did not give up and always used a valuable drug to ensure the stability of the brother's eye nerves.
Even though my brother has repeatedly stressed that he does not want to drag down his family and make his parents give up, family is family and no one can replace him. At a fixed time, his parents will still buy medicine for his brother.
No matter how much hardship they endure, no matter how tired they are, their parents will never complain or regret.
Jiang Ye tightened the sword in his hand. He knew that all of this was waiting for him to change!
Glancing at the fire ant corpse beside him, Jiang Ye squatted down, holding the knife in his backhand, and peeled off the entire cortex along the fire ant's missing head.
By the time the five corpses were finished, the strong smell of blood was already spreading. Even under the scorching sun, it was even more fishy.
Just when Jiang Ye was about to take action and peel off the skin of the fire ant he had cut in half, he suddenly saw a wave of sand dunes not far away, and the ground undulated like waves, and it quickly extended towards him.
"not good!"
When Jiang Ye saw this, he was instantly frightened. Without any hesitation, he dropped the last fire ant and ran quickly towards the other side.
Although Jiang Ye didn't know the specific insect beast that came, he knew that outside Jinchuan City, there were only a few insect beasts that could run underground, and the ones with the lowest combat power were over 100, which he could not handle now.
Come on.
This beast must have been attracted by the smell of blood!
Sure enough, as soon as Jiang Ye was less than 500 meters away, a huge body that was three meters high and seven or eight meters long suddenly burst out of the sand dunes and appeared at the corpses of five fire ants.
The back of this body is covered with a jet-black carapace, which is extremely hard, and the legs are even covered with green scales, which are shiny and lustrous.
As soon as he appeared, his dark eyes glowed with excitement at the fire ant corpse in front of him. As soon as he lowered his head and opened his mouth, he picked up a bloody fire ant in his mouth and started chewing it. In just a few mouthfuls, he swallowed it all.
