Lorraine Hill checked the data stored in the system. Although the records of human decline were incomplete, he still knew the general process.
Since the meteor shower in the 21st century, supernatural powers have begun to awaken in various places.
All kinds of creatures in nature have also mutated rapidly. Many weird abilities have made it difficult for people to guard against. The types of viruses that have also mutated have also increased sharply, causing widespread plagues. Various antibiotics are difficult to be effective. Even if they are finally contained,
However, the number of humans has also been greatly reduced.
At that time, various countries, governments, and organizations, whether official or private, began to study this strange phenomenon or ability.
Naturally, the first batch of extraordinary beings among human beings are also under control. If they are lucky, they can serve as research assistants in some large organizations, or enjoy better treatment. If they are unlucky, they will be recruited by some underground organizations, or
If fringe organizations catch it, it will be more painful.
Sometimes in order to obtain some rare and extreme data, those researchers do not have much moral bottom line.
It is precisely because of this that the first batch of extraordinary people began to form a group, seeking self-protection and safeguarding their own interests. In the end, it was due to the conflict of ideas and the division of the old human race. However, the old human government could not tolerate such existence being out of control on a large scale.
So the war broke out.
Humans after the mutation call themselves New Humans. Although there are fewer people, most of them can use extraordinary powers and are stronger than ordinary people in many aspects. They have the upper hand from the beginning. However, the old humans are also rapidly advancing in genetic technology and adjusting the order.
Human beings who are genetically capable of adapting to extraordinary powers appeared, and they are called gene sequencers. Since then, the newborns of the old humans have basically been gene sequencers.
The gene sequencers are slightly weaker than the new humans, but their base is huge. From then on, the combined strength of the old humans surpassed the new humans. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. The number of creatures in nature is more than hundreds of times that of humans. Some of the mutated creatures
They became huge, some of their minions became extremely sharp, some were able to use flames, and so on. Their unconscious instinctive activities destroyed many human facilities, wires, optical fibers, pipelines, roads, etc.
The industrial chain of modern human society is becoming more and more complex, and the loss of one link will lead to failure in the later stages. In the end, a large number of factories had to stop production, and the overall productivity of society was severely damaged. At this point, the old and new humans ceased war and began to deal with the threat of mutant creatures.
Invasion.
The human government began to shrink its activity areas and concentrated industrial areas, and the population slowly recovered. However, the mutated creatures also continued to evolve, and the two sides began a life-and-death race in just a decade or so.
But in the end, the mutated creatures won the race. Their numerical superiority overwhelmed everything, and there were also intelligent rulers among them, who commanded a large number of mutated creatures to continuously attack the human defense line like a wave.
In the end, humans used nuclear bombs, and countless mushroom clouds bloomed on the earth. Now that we have reached this point, in order to prevent the resurgence of mutated creatures, humans on the earth used nuclear bombs to cleanse all the land on the continent, and countless dust covered the sky and the sun.
After the creatures in the ocean lost the energy of sunlight, algae died in large numbers, the food chain collapsed, and corpses floated in the seawater. The earth entered a nuclear winter.
Without sunlight, plants cannot survive. Without plants as food, other creatures will become extinct. The remaining humans lie in hibernation cabins, waiting for the earth to restart again.
When the dust settles and the sun rises again, the world will no longer be what it used to be.

"Remains Excavation Diary of Asia HA-46 Area"
3622.11.24
We entered here on November 7th of this month, with a team of 9 people, carrying two excavation units and a detection unit to dig downward based on the remaining consciousness signals.
The process was not smooth. We encountered several strange animals at the beginning, the alarm on the shuttle boat kept ringing, and sometimes it was difficult to even go to the toilet.
Fortunately, the two guards in the team were both top students in the military academy, and the Liquid Knife-4 armor they drove was also very powerful, so they were able to repel several waves of Sequence 5 alien beast attacks.
They seem to attach great importance to this place, as if they have some treasure. This is a good sign. I hope they can produce something this time, and the year-end bonus will be awarded. I also want to buy a customized bionic maid.
, I have saved several years of salary for this.
-------
3622.12.5
It seems that we have dug something hard. One of the digging units is broken. The replacement shuttle we contacted will not arrive until next weekend. This is really too long. Is it possible to go back before the end of the year? It is really cold outside here.
--------
3622.12.12
Well, those hard guys are actually some kind of rare mineral.
They are the product of the combination of Mana and real matter, probably produced during the first impact? Anyway, that's what the garrulous scholar in the team said.
--------
3622.12.18
It has been shipped, but unfortunately the picture is not very good. This ruin seems to have been suddenly created during the first impact, that is, after Mana came into contact with reality for the first time, a violent change occurred, and the people inside died instantly before they realized it.
(It looks like it should be a city in the past)
--------
3622.12.20
We dug out batches after batches. These blue and transparent substances are like amber, condensing the things inside. Thanks to this, we can even see the daily necessities of ancient humans, which are not much different from today. Humans are really
It has declined, and there have been no major innovations in so many years.
--------
3622.12.22
Well, although they are all ancient people who have passed away, the detection unit shows that one of them still has a faint consciousness, which is really interesting.
--------
3622.12.24
I called it a day and finally went back before the end of the year.

It was an ordinary archaeological diary, but based on the notes at the end, Lorraine Hill understood that it was him who was unearthed in this ruins.
But what happened next? According to the records of the project R&D team leader, he had no body when he was sealed. It was still 3918.
According to the records in the data, after the meteor shower, a special substance, Mana, began to appear in this world.
This magical existence is like a bridge or catalyst, connecting the consciousness of living things with natural energy, matter, etc. In this way, there is a basis for using the spirit to change reality.
At first, this effect only appeared in a very small group of people, and the extraordinary abilities at that time were also very weak. They could only be used to ignite fires and could not fight with thermal weapons at all.
Later, with in-depth research, humans summarized the rules.
If the scattered mana is a small glass bead, then the consciousness of the living being sends specific waves to the outside world through this glass bead, thereby manipulating reality.
But it should be noted that this phenomenon is too weak, just like gravity, and is usually not noticeable at all. It only appears in a small number of special people who have undergone mutations.
But creatures are smart, and they gradually choose and exploit this phenomenon. So they collected Mana and arranged them neatly one by one to form a tight and consistent structure. In this way, they only need to push a part to match the Domiru dominoes.
Generally, spread outward.
In this way, creatures have a more powerful ability to affect reality. This structure is also called the extraordinary core.
Once the most basic and solid foundation is laid, the construction of high-rise buildings will become extremely fast.
Mana is the most basic and flexible block, and the constructed spirit sequence is also what humans are most adaptable and good at. That is to make the extraordinary core into their own personal AI, or computing control device.
With the guidance of the spirit sub-sequence, humans can easily drive extremely complex machinery, quickly handle and calculate various problems, and learn and remember with unprecedented efficiency.
It is also because of this that after humans stepped out of the ground again, they quickly entered an era of vigorous development.
Although the ground is still full of rich mana, chaotic magic, and rampant strange beasts and insects, the sky is still covered by dim, yellowish clouds. But above the distant clouds, mana is scarce here, and the human body will not
Feel uncomfortable and the air is cleaner.
It is in this environment that humans gradually abandon the ground and build their own kingdoms above the clouds. Cities, islands, airships, etc., rely on anti-gravity formations to hang high in the sky.
The past and the new life, the earth and the sky, the two worlds are separated by floating clouds. This is the "Twilight Era" recorded in countless dust.
