This is an era where death is everywhere, human life is worthless than a piece of grass, there is never even a trace of light in the sky, the night is like eternal darkness, and during the day you can only see the oppressive gloom.
The temperature remains around zero all year round. In a cold process, the whole world gradually forgets the sunshine, the warmth, the beauty of the past and... humanity.
The last less than 100 million humans are living in hiding in thousands of large and small settlements all over the world.
He used all his strength and wisdom to engage in a bloody, cruel but indifferent and numb struggle against the giants who had once been with them as humans but had now turned into beasts, as well as the mutant beings who were originally beasts.
In an era when food and water are not guaranteed, most people have forgotten the meaning of life and don't understand why they still live like zombies.
But the nature of biology makes every human being still instinctively struggle to survive.
As long as they can survive, who would really want to face death?
Not every inhabited area has the ability to build those huge city walls that are more than ten meters high. There are only a hundred or so of the largest inhabited areas that can actually build city walls.
Although these more than 100 settlements only account for a few tenths of the total number of settlements, they accommodate about half of the remaining population!
Being able to become a resident of more than a hundred residential areas is the dream of every human being in this era.
Because as long as you can live in those settlements, it means a relatively orderly life, and relatively sufficient food and water.
Relatively speaking, I can still live like a human being.
Although it is only relatively speaking, it is far better than their current life.
Life is much better than the remaining thousands of settlements with hundreds to tens of thousands of people!
This is an era in which the law of the jungle has been developed to its extreme. Human beings are inferior to pigs and dogs. Because humans can think, humans suffer.
And tens of millions of giants all over the world are constantly preying on humans in these settlements without city wall protection. They will also devour other mutant life forms when they are hungry, but their favorite food is still Mutated humans homologous to yiti.
The irony is that weak mutant humans must gather together to ensure the most basic survival and to hunt other mutant creatures.
But it is precisely because they gather together that the giants have a clear hunting target, making them easier to be discovered and attacked by the giants.
Whether they die at the hands of other mutated creatures if they act alone, or die at the mouth of giants if they act in groups, that is a question.
Such a weird biological chain has created such a weird structure and life form circle, which has created a deformed attitude towards life.
Human beings in small settlements have to carry out various migrations at any time. Only large settlements with tens of thousands of people can have the ability to fight back against attacks from sporadic giants.
However, something happened half a year ago, which shocked these mutated humans who had become so numb that they almost lost the ability to think.
The settlement area where Atwell Corporation, one of the world's four largest companies, is headquartered, has a population of 800,000 and is protected by tall city walls. It is considered by everyone to be one of the safest places in the world. The settlement area was suddenly attacked by millions of giants!
In the end, the city wall was broken through by crazy giants, and millions of giants rushed into the headquarters of Atwell Company. Atwell Company activated the self-destruction device, and millions of giants and the entire settlement were turned into fly ash...
Although one-tenth of the total number of giants was wiped out in one fell swoop, when such news spread to all parts of the world through various means, it still shocked everyone who heard it.
Because they have always thought that giants have no ability to think but only instincts. Giants never appear in groups. They always wander alone in this world. This gives humans the ability to compete with them.
ability.
But half a year ago, I don’t know what happened, but millions of giants gathered together!
As for the kind of self-destruction device that can destroy the entire super-large residential area in an instant, only the headquarters of the four major companies have the ability to ration it. That is to say, if such a situation occurs outside other residential areas.
Humanity will be unable to fight back.
Fortunately... something like this only happened once... and that time... half a year has passed.
Human beings are good at forgetting by nature, especially when it is not known whether they will be alive to breathe tomorrow's turbid air today. Most human beings will soon forget such things. Only those who still occupy the
Only the few people at the top of the human race, who enjoy the most resources and material life supplies and don’t need to worry about survival, think about this matter...
It's just that these things have nothing to do with ordinary humans.
On the edge of a huge urban ruin in the eastern part of the former Asian continent, it can be seen from the appearance of the broken walls on the ground that it should have originally belonged to a skyscraper.
The ruins of the city that should have been silent suddenly made a sound, and the scrap iron and steel on the ruins that had been settling for decades and had been corroded by the air and rain had a weird color suddenly loosened.
Immediately afterwards, the loosening seemed like a series of noisy leads, and the ruins resounded with continuous crashing sounds.
Just a few minutes later, the entire ruins suddenly made a loud noise, and a large amount of waste rose into the air. It was shaken into the air by an unknown force, and then fell outside the ruins.
Two figures, a man and a woman, climbed up awkwardly from underneath the ruins...
Wearing a straight old-style dragoon military uniform, he finally climbed up from the ruins and looked at the scene in front of him, and he was suddenly speechless.
The two of them were Qin Anyi and Wang Yiran, who had been sleeping for a hundred years.
When the freezing time set on the device arrives, the entire device begins the process of slowly thawing and restoring the body functions of the two people through stored nutritional supplies.
Due to the ultra-low temperature close to absolute zero used during freezing, it is so low that even light can be frozen in an instant!
Therefore, the thawing process was slow and complicated. It took half a year for the two of them to finally regain consciousness and control of their bodies.
"This...is the world a hundred years from now?" Wang Yiran stared blankly at the doomsday scene in front of him. Although he was mentally prepared, he still felt unbelievable.
The previous eight years of life have allowed Wang Yiran's gene unlocking level to reach the level of a major general. In order to prevent Qin Anyi from retreating today a hundred years later, Wang Yiran has worked really hard.
"It seems so..."
Qin Anyi stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. Looking at the various data in his sight and the extremely bad environmental reports that Qilin resounded in his mind, he smiled bitterly: "I suddenly regretted it. Maybe it's better to just let it go." Forget about dying normally, why are you here to see such a doomsday scene?"
