The wind was blowing in the streets, a large amount of garbage was flying in the air, and the streets were in tatters, many places were in ruins, and in some places there were traces of the explosions and decomposing corpses on the ground.

November 2076

A tattered flag of black, red and yellow fluttered in the breeze.

Smack

A flying bird fell from the sky, kicked its feet, and died in less than a few seconds.

The city was filled with dead silence, with only dead people and rubbish, including some weapons that had fallen on the ground, planes that had crashed into the ground, and tanks lined up along the streets, some of which were rusty.

Only six months have passed since the disaster, and humanity has no choice but to take refuge in the forests and mountains where the disaster has not yet spread.

Human society, which is changing with each passing day, is so fragile in the face of unknown disasters, and eight people with weapons and backpacks have appeared on the dilapidated streets.

"How long are you going to cry Tang Rao!"

Deguna squinted at Tang Rao, some of her slightly curly long hair has been cut off, she is almost 40 years old, her face is filthy, her face is thin and bones are prominent, her lips are chapped, and several others are also uncomfortable.

Everyone was depressed because they had just missed the last rocket to take off, and there was no place on the planet that was safe.

Jean walked at the back of the line, and Ellie on her back had been in poor condition for the past few days, having had her serum checked and was not infected, but she was always in a coma every day with a low-grade fever.

"Go over there for dinner!"

Gu Yi, who took the lead, pointed to a courtroom next to the door that had been blown open, and after entering, he pinched his nose and glanced around, and everyone also saw that there had been a fierce shootout here, and the dead had all turned into dried corpses, although there was an uncomfortable smell in the air.

The tall Werther put down his backpack, took out cans of canned cats and dogs, and handed them to the crowd, the only thing they could eat in a supermarket.

bah

Deguna just grabbed some cat food and stuffed it into her mouth, and then spit it out, she has been refusing to eat it for the past few days, because she can't stand the fishy smell, so she has lost a lot of weight.

This is Deguna's homeland, but she didn't grow up here, so she doesn't have much affection for the country, everything is gone, everyone else is the same, and the road ahead is only one step at a time.

Squeak

The door on one side suddenly opened, and in an instant, several black shadows had appeared, just in the blink of an eye, the seven people all held the guns in their hands, aimed at the people around them who were also aiming at them with guns, three sick children, a woman with blisters on her cheeks, Tang Rao found at a glance that something was wrong, this woman should have been infected with the virus, and her life would be short.

"The food is here, let's put it down, and everyone will step back together, is it okay?"

Gu Yi said, taking Werther's backpack, took out some cans and put them on the ground, a group of people began to retreat towards the door, Li Chu knew very well that no one was more reliable than these guys around him, as a trained scientist, along the way, everyone used everything they had learned to help everyone tide over the difficulties, and now if they lose one person, it would be too cost-effective for them.

Looking at the emotional appearance of the four people opposite, Li Chu's eyes signaled, several people were retreating, and some voices came from time to time in the door they opened, and it seemed that there were still people.

When Li Chu came in just now, he felt that something was wrong, as if there had been several shootouts here.

"Leave it all!"

The woman said tremblingly, and at this time, some large and small people came out of the room on both sides, all of them holding weapons in their hands, and a child carrying an anti-tank rocket launcher.

The moment the disaster swept through, the whole world was in chaos, and all the order was directly washed away by the disaster, at this time Elle woke up, and she looked at everything in front of her.

"Give them food."

In the end, Li Chu and the others handed over all the food and withdrew.

Li Chu was very angry, just exited the door, and threw a string of grenades directly to Rose, she smiled, quickly lowered her body and went to the left, Werther lay behind a car, holding an automatic rifle in his hand, Li Chu held a pistol, watching by the door, Jean took Elle to retreat into the distance, Gu Yi and Werther ran to a tank on the side of the street, the two quickly entered the tank, tried, the tank can start, and there is some gasoline.

"Stop them Jean!"

Elle trembled, one hand pressed Gene's cold cheek, Jean turned his head, dragged off his coat, wrapped Elle's body, took out a can of cat food from his pocket, and put it in Elle's hand.

"I've been looking for a long time, but I haven't found food, either they die or we die!"

"There are children in there."

Jean smiled, stood up, and took out a small sniper rifle from his backpack, Tang Rao had already handed over how to use Jean, Jean was also very smart and very talented, he quickly analyzed the situation and ran to a commanding height.

Ellie looked at the seven people with a sad look in her eyes, and she began to plan to break through with a clear division of labor, and even planned to snatch the weapons and food in the hands of the people in the house.

bang

With a violent explosion, the tank ran straight up the stairs and rushed into the gate.

bang

With a violent roar, a shell was fired, Gu Yi immediately got out of the tank and quickly ran to the back of the tank, Werther drove the tank and ran over it directly.

Gradually, the gunfire stopped, Deguna quietly looked at the group of people in front of her, the woman just now looked at her pleadingly, Deguna pouted slightly.

"Please, take at least a few of the children below."

bang

After Deguna fired, the battle ended, and several people were scouring the house, and some of the people who had given up resistance begged to take the people who could still move.

"It's good to leave some for them."

Jean looked at the few people who were still holding food and water, and Tang Rao turned his head at this time.

"You've got a hole in your head, right?"

At this moment Elle walked in with a stick, and she looked at everything in front of her and saw a child shivering in the corner, with tears in her eyes.

"Who's coming!"

Li Chu asked, and Deguna lit a cigarette, then nodded.

"Jean! ........ like this"

Jean didn't say anything, he lowered his head and picked up Ellie and walked out with her things, Deguna held her gun and aimed it at the still alive.

"I'm sorry, keep waiting, there will be nothing but endless darkness and torment."

Gunshots rang out one after another, and every time it came to such a time, everyone's mood was not very good, and it was like this all the way, so that everyone understood a truth, bringing useless people is just a burden.

Deguna walked out with her gun in her hand, exhaled a puff of smoke, and then handed the cigarette to Jean, who took a puff and took turns to take a few puffs before moving around carrying buckets to collect gasoline.

"How long will this continue?"

In the past, they may have taken some people with them out of some compassion, but along the way, the evil side of human nature will be highlighted, betrayal, drag, sickness, and nothing, making the group walk in hell for three months.

The tanks drove slowly through the streets, and everywhere they went, people went to collect food and water, but there was basically nothing to be found.

Obviously it has reached the point where it can't be worse, but the idea of survival of the eight people is getting stronger and stronger, no one wants to die, and it is extremely difficult to find a shelter, especially in the face of the lingering people like just now, the seven people have never hesitated, and death is the best relief for them.

"What were the test results?"

Tang Rao was using a microscope and some other tools to examine food and water.

"No, there's a lot of E. coli in there, and those guys in there, even if we don't go in, they'll all get sick in a week."

Food and water were thrown away, and the disease came from the mouth, relying on Tang Rao and Ellie, two extremely good biologists, along the way, all the food and water they obtained, both of them would check to ensure that they would not eat contaminated food and get sick.

The standing drugs collected along the way, the two of them also carefully classified and processed them, as well as the synthesis of the drugs after mashing, the tacit understanding of the whole team became higher and higher, and the eight of them crossed over countless difficulties and obstacles.

Ellie's health was better, and she climbed out, came to the back of the tank, and gently hugged Deguna from behind.

"Go in and lie down, you're in good shape."

Ellie pursed her lips and shook her head with a smile, hugging Deguna as if comforting, the two snuggled up to each other, and Deguna took a blanket handed over by Li Chu in front of her and put it on Ellie.

"This kind of thing is the same no matter how many times you do it, obviously it should be done by that group of men."

Elle said, and Deguna smiled.

"If there is hell, we should go to hell after we die, the cry in that mine, I still dream from time to time, where do you think we should go?"

Witt looked at the compass in his hand, they were walking towards the east, at this time the tank drove into a supermarket, the shelves were empty, the banknotes were spilled on the ground, Li Chu jumped down, picked up a handful of banknotes, and stuffed them into his backpack.

Others also helped to pick it up, banknotes are good fuel for fire, and now that the temperature is so low, it is easiest to light up banknotes for daily use in the wild.

"Grass! It's moldy. ”

Looking at some moldy and rotten food and fruits, a bunch of things, Tang Rao ran over excitedly at this time.

"You guys come and help, we might need to stay here for a few days and get some penicillin."

The long and dark night came, eight people lit a fire in a corner of the supermarket, looking at a pile of burning wooden furniture, crackling, now in the dark night, nothing can be seen, real darkness, the light of the day is very faint.

Li Chu deduced from his inferences along the way that there should have been large-scale epidemics in many places, and the only way for humans to escape was to migrate to the mountains, leaving them with little time left, and they had to find a shelter that could allow them to continue to survive.

At night, a few people were under the firelight, looking at the world map, a few people all the way from Africa through the Black Sea, to Central Europe, but it was still too late, did not catch up with the last rocket, they contacted the people of the virtual space country at that time, the other party was very willing to accept them scientists, but in the chaotic situation, there was no way to pick them up, they could only go straight from Africa to the rocket launch base in Central Europe on foot.

Now they had to choose and start walking to their next destination, and when they came from the Black Sea, they were shocked by the sight of a large number of dead bodies floating on the water.

Some radiation can already be detected in the water, and the catastrophe of the asteroid fall in the center of the Pacific Ocean is sweeping the world at an unstoppable speed.

"Either we go to the Arctic, where the temperature is extremely low and the unknown virus will spread slowly, and we will have time to build shelters."

Gu Yi said, and Jean laughed.

"If people work in extremely cold places, if they don't use machinery, the efficiency is too low, and many people should have passed, but it will only hasten death, and if there is no land, once there is a lack of food, have you forgotten? What's going on in the mines. ”

"There is no place in this world that is safe, and how ignorant must be for mankind to give up."

Li Chu felt extremely angry as soon as he said this, before the eight people went to a nearby airline, but the things that could be used in it were all looted, and most of the equipment was directly destroyed, if the plant was still there, Witt, Li Chu and Gu Yi were all engineering experts in physics and mathematics, they could build another rocket, and the most important thing was that the fuel had been looted.

Gu Yi once worked as an aerospace engineer and led several rocket launches, all of which were successful, and the eight of them were no longer young, because they only went to space for seven days, so most of them were the leading scientists in the field.

The training camp lasted for more than ten years, just for a chance for human progress, but failed, and no one thought how stupid and pitiful human beings are in the face of the unknown.

"Go here!"

Elle pointed to an area on the world map, and everyone looked over.

"The highest place in the world!"

"It's impossible, we want to get there on foot, our current situation is very difficult, and there may be people falling down on the way."

Li Chu immediately retorted that this place could indeed allow them to survive, but it was extremely difficult for them to go over the mountains and mountains.

Unless they can use airplanes, but along the way, they have also seen that the situation in the sky is very strange now, and many planes are in the middle of the flight, and they crash for unknown reasons.

"Just walk through it step by step."

All night, the eight of them didn't sleep much, they were all thinking, because they were all 40 years old on average.

Some people once suggested that they should find a place and forget when they died, anyway, they have twenty or thirty years to live at most.

"What do you think, Jean?"

For the past few days, Jean has been silent and has not said anything.

"I'll follow you wherever you want to go, no matter where you are, even hell."

"I hope you can persuade them, they should listen to you."

Jean smiled bitterly.

"I see."

Early the next morning, the eight people began to get busy, searching everywhere for everything that could be used, and began to make some things that could be used on the road, and by the way found a car that could be used, which may be the last fight of the eight people, only by going to the highest peak in the world, it is possible to survive for twenty or thirty years.

On the morning of departure, the sun appeared in the originally gloomy sky, and the long-lost light made the eight people smile a little more.

"Rely on you to be a genius who is proficient in 12 Chinese."

Elle smiled at Rose, she smiled, all the way over, just rely on Rose to identify the signs along the way, they basically didn't miss the way.

The car started, and along the road outside the city, there was a scene of decay all around, but the light shining on the road was a little strong.

The picture seems to be burned, everything is separated little by little, turning into ashes, Deguna quietly stares at everything in front of her, and Elle next to her smiles.

"I don't remember much about it for so long."

"Yes, it's been so long, we never thought that humanity would start to revive and prosper again, all of this is unthinkable, but we have come here."

Deguna chuckled.

"I really miss myself at that time, now that I have become younger, time has also been frozen in us, it is really like a curse, never dead and immortal, the price is to continue to witness the decline and prosperity, new birth and death, why do you still have consciousness Ellie."

Ellie shook her head.

"Let's not talk about this for the time being, Deguna, I just hope that you can correct the wrong path of the past, in this era, there is no need to use guns to help those dying children complete the liberation, and there is no need to travel through mountains and rivers to find a place where they can live, this is our home!"

Deguna smiled bitterly.

"Mistakes can be fixed, and now is a good time for those kind kids to try to change something, some of the mistakes made in the past, if they can't be fixed, one day, we may witness the fall of the city again."

"I see, in fact, I have long doubted who can control AI0, Jean is about to leave the city, why don't you go and see him?"

Ellie pursed her lips and shook her head.

"The things that hang over his shoulders are dissipating, he is fine now, I am satisfied to know this, each of you has endured too much, but now everything is no problem, I have caught a guy who also has the technology to send his consciousness into the virtual network, but I can't get anything out of his consciousness, once I know, I will tell your Deguna, be careful of the AIs, they may be far beyond our imagination."

Deguna shook her head.

"As long as AI0 will still kneel down on one knee for us, it means that everything is still under our control, but it doesn't matter, if those guys dare to do anything, we will definitely let them know what God is."

Elle gently hugged Deguna from behind with both hands.

"Trust me Deguna, now is the best time, if you want to fix everything, only now, I only hope that you can convey everything I think to other people, time is running out, I feel the danger, recently I often see in my consciousness that a flame from the dark land is approaching us."

Deguna's eyes widened, and Ellie brought her cheek to her ear.

"Once Jean is out, let him investigate the world thoroughly and finally do something for humanity!"

Deguna nodded.
