Claire held her child Jamie and struggled to find food in the garbage.
Since the popularity of floating cities, the world has naturally been divided into first- and second-class citizens.
Naturally, first-class citizens can move to the floating city and continue to enjoy all kinds of modern conveniences. Even because of the application of nether energy, it has become vaguely magical.
Second-class citizens are people who continue to stay on land.
Not only do we have to endure the scarcity of various resources and currency devaluation, but we also have to face the invasion of 'tricks'...
After all, ordinary cities don't have the floating city's powerful psionic energy mystery lock that can block out the weird.
Even though the three [Ancient Evil Creatures] have been sealed, there are still many strange creatures created by Aaron's previous experiments and the Chis' influence wandering around the planet.
They are generally not too dangerous - but that is only for psionic users, but for ordinary people, they are still deadly!
Moreover, because there are so many, they cannot be cleaned up at all.
The eyes of Nether Energy Floating City and even the World Government are completely attracted by Luofu Island. Therefore, these second-class citizens can only hide and seek with strange things day and night, surviving in dire straits.
"Mommy, look what I found?"
Jamie's eyes lit up and he dug out half a can of luncheon meat from the trash.
This military ration was widely criticized by previous armies and was known as 'mysterious meat' or 'meat that is not meat'.
But in the wasteland era, it was already a rare delicacy.
A smile appeared on Claire's face: "Jamie is awesome..."
Suddenly, her expression slowly became relaxed again, she hid the can on her body, hugged her son and was about to leave.
"Woman, stop!"
A group of garbage men gathered around: "Do you know this is our territory? Leave your belongings behind..."
"Idiot, keep her too! This woman looks pretty good..."
"hey-hey……"
What followed immediately was a burst of laughter known to all men.
"you……"
Claire's hand touched her waist. As a single mother, she can survive in this ruined city, so she naturally has a certain amount of strength.
There is even a homemade firearm on his waist.
Of course, she didn't want to use it until the critical moment.
"Did you see that this woman still wants to resist..."
The two trash men at the back smiled grimly, pulled out shotguns from behind, and pointed them at Claire: "Female... you have two choices, one is to face our gun, the other is to face our other gun...
…”
Claire looked at Jamie and gritted her teeth.
Suddenly, Jamie seemed to see something and was so frightened that he covered his face and cried.
"Haha... the little devil is just timid."
A rubbish old man thought that the little boy was afraid of them. Just after he said something, his voice suddenly stopped.
The accomplice looked over and saw that the man had disappeared, leaving only a black shadow on the spot, like a special watercolor painting imprinted on the ground.
Looking at the twisted and struggling black shadow, Yiqianjiao started to tremble: "It's weird...those weird things are coming!"
"Mommy... I don't want to die!"
"Idiot... Calm down... There are rules for strange killings... Don't violate taboos..."
A bunch of trashy old men show their true colors and show up in all sorts of ugly ways.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Claire held the child in her arms and slowly backed away.
At this time, it was true that no one paid attention to her.
Because in the garbage house, another big white man suddenly disappeared, leaving only a dark shadow on the wall...
"Hoo ho!"
"Hoo ho!"
Claire hugged Jamie and ran two streets in one breath, and then stopped in a dilapidated and unfinished building.
"It's okay, sweetheart!"
She patted Jamie's head comfortingly, took out the can of luncheon meat, dug out a spoonful of luncheon meat from it, and put it into her mouth.
Although the taste is a bit weird, it has a slightly meaty taste.
"Here... something delicious."
She looked at Jamie with a happy smile on her face.
Jamie raised his head, and what appeared in Claire's eyes was shocking...
A face with black holes on all the features!
It's not Jamie!
But - weird!
"ah!"
A scream full of despair sounded in the unfinished building...
"Mommy!"
"Mommy!"
Jamie called for his mother as he walked.
Those garbage men have suddenly turned into dark shadows, fixed in one place forever.
He was the only one who might have avoided the strange murder pattern by some mistake, but ended up living until now by accident.
Jamie picked up a stuffed bear with a broken arm. He was tired, sleepy and hungry, and at some point, he had reached the edge of the city.
And in the distant sky, a brilliant and dim floating city appeared in sight.
Looking at its majestic figure, Jamie suddenly wiped his tears and thought of his mother's wish.
Claire's wish is to take him with him to immigrate to live in those suspended 'paradises'.
Sudden……
The next moment!
Jamie's eyes widened and he saw that the high 'heaven' seemed to be falling downwards.
This terrifying scene caused the stuffed bear in his hand to fall to the ground.
‘Heaven’ fell faster and faster, as if it had turned into a huge meteorite.
From the ‘heaven’, glowing figures flew out one after another, trying to escape.
"Is that...an angel?"
Jamie murmured.
Then, he saw those 'angels' wailing and even roaring. Whether they were flying with their own psionic energy, driving alchemy mechas, or growing wings after swallowing the flying magic potion... they all lost their effect in an instant.
Those figures were like birds with broken wings, falling from the high sky.
At the same time, the 'heaven' is also falling, falling... The edge of the city rubs against the atmosphere, bursting out with terrifying flames, and explosions continue to occur.
Finally, it set at the end of the horizon like a sun.
All visions suddenly stopped.
A moment later, another strong light shot into the sky, followed by a tsunami-like shock wave, sweeping fiercely...
in space.
"Sir..."
The observers watched the floating cities falling on the planet with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
At the same time, the technicians also roared: "The psionic core is dysfunctional... It has exceeded the fourth critical point... No, the fifth critical point, it is about to explode!!!"
The commander in captain's uniform looked at the devastated planet and the vast space with a wry smile on his face: "We thought we could conquer the universe and the stars... In the end, we were the only ones conquered..."
As his words fell, the floating city in space also turned into fireworks.
