Before Kong Hai approached, Inle was a city with a large population. Although District 118 was not as prosperous as the central area, due to its chaotic and loose management, many criminals smuggled here, bringing new vitality and vigor to this formerly desolate and barren city.
Most of the residents living here are fierce. Even the middle-aged women who look ordinary on the streets are not easy to mess with. No one knows whether she will suddenly pull out a gun from under her skirt and blow off the head of a provocateur.
It was in such a place that, within a short period of time after the sea of clouds covered the sky, people died or fled, and the huge city had completely changed its appearance.
In the past, the people walking in the streets and buildings were like the blood flowing in the human body. Now that the blood has dried up, the city looks dead.
A car drove into the central avenue of the city. The once crowded streets were now empty except for abandoned dead things. There was no living creature, including the rats that used to be rampant in this dirty and messy city.
Perhaps there were still living humans hiding in the houses on both sides, but no one dared to come out at this time because it was raining.
The sky is overhead, and rain means disaster. Rain connects the sky and the ground, and many strange creatures that have never been seen before fall through the rain, growing and changing at an incredible speed, occupying the habitat that originally belonged to humans.
At first, they were just some inconspicuous tiny creatures, those seemingly harmless little things, but they swept through the city like a plague.
Parasitism, hunting, spreading... the large number of defenseless living things on the ground are rare and excellent food for invading creatures.
They all gathered here to party.
The Jilun race is more picky than those races that only have the instinct to find food. They have a demand for "emotions" and the second is the pursuit of "quality of life".
Looking for a comfortable and safe nest along the way, Ji Lun drove his female and stopped at a TV tower in the city. The 550-meter-high Inle TV Tower is the tallest building in the city, and the solid steel hollow structure is in line with Ji Lun's aesthetic taste.
Although he had digested the original brain of Dr. Ji Lun, he still preferred the preferences of his tribe. Places closer to the sky, which were moist and ventilated, and far away from creatures that moved on the ground were safer for harmless females.
Therefore, even though he knew from the human brain that humans generally do not live on the steel frame of a TV tower, Ji Lun still brought the sleeping female to the small steel frame platform two hundred meters high.
He decided to build a nest here first. The resting female needed a nest so that he could leave without worry to find food. In view of the lack of time, he could only make a simple nest for the time being.
The giant octopus, which had transformed back to its original shape, wrapped Qin Minghuang up with its numerous legs and secreted a translucent substance to inflate it - the scene looked like an octopus blowing bubbles.
The bubble-shaped nest can filter air and block rain. Qin Minghuang lay in the bubble, while Ji Lun pulled the "bubble" and fixed it under several steel frames with mucus.
This improvised nest is filled with his scent, which repels enemies and appeases females.
Looking at Qin Minghuang who was resting, the giant octopus coiled on the bubble and reluctantly rubbed the surface of the bubble with a few of its pink legs. Then, like a inflated balloon, it floated directly from a height of two hundred meters to the bottom, and gradually became transparent in the process.
Hide yourself, so it is easier to hunt.
A long, bright red creature was crawling on the ground. It was a sea snake in the sky sea. Their tribe had few natural enemies in the sky sea, but on the ground, they could still look down on other creatures. Wherever they went, living things would retreat.
Because its skin is highly poisonous, there is a large poison sac on its head, and its tongue is like a straw that can spray venom.
After coming to the ground, it never encountered any natural enemies and lived a happy life. It kept itself fat and strong and did not hide itself when strolling on the streets.
Ji Lun immediately spotted its trail, landed on top of it, and easily held down its round body with his legs.
The sea snake, suddenly attacked, twisted its body and sprayed venom, which even had a corrosive effect, but Ji Lun remained unmoved.
They have a closely related tribe that is the most poisonous creature in the sky and sea. Their tribe is not extremely poisonous, but is immune to it, so their tribe is one of the natural enemies of this highly poisonous sea snake.
The reason why extremely poisonous sea snakes have not become a disaster in the empty sea is because their own tribe likes to eat them.
Although it was his favorite food and he had been hungry for a while, when he thought about the female, Ji Lun, who was almost drooling, decided to take this delicious food back.
However, the head of this snake is poisonous, and females generally do not eat it, so they twist off the sea snake's head and eat it secretly.
He just took a small taste.
The skin is also poisonous and is eaten.
The limbs grabbed the skinned and decapitated sea snake and temporarily stored it in an invisible sac.
He also needs to catch more food and bring it back to show his ability to the female, so that she will be more likely to accept him.
After leaving his beloved female, the giant octopus suddenly regained its ferociousness as a predator.
The giant octopus, which was diligently looking for food, walked farther and farther away. The wind was whistling on the TV tower, and a white dove flew over from afar and landed on the shelf. The white dove shook its wet wings and found a strange big ball next to it.
The white dove cooed twice, jumped to the ball, twisted its head, and pecked at the ball a few times, just right at Qin Minghuang's head.
Qin Minghuang in the simple bubble nest was awakened by the noise and opened his eyes sleepily.
Through the translucent wall of the bubble, she saw that she was high in the air, suspended in the air, with only a layer of something that seemed flimsy supporting her body.
Qin Minghuang: “…” All sleepiness disappeared, and his heart rate instantly reached 280.
Holding her pounding heart, she saw clearly where she was and her face showed confusion and bewilderment.
What is going on? Where am I? How did I get from the car to the TV tower? What is this ball
Not long ago, she thought she had encountered the most confusing moment in her life, but now she realized that she was confused too early.
Qin Minghuang moved to a place supported by a steel frame with trepidation and tried to break open the big ball that wrapped himself. Unexpectedly, it was quite strong, and the smooth inside was unusually flexible. He didn't know what material it was made of.
She pulled out a blade from the sole of her shoe and cut the wall of the ball, finally freeing herself from the strange big ball. The big ball with a hole in it instantly deflated and drooped into a ball.
As soon as he got out of the big ball, he was almost blown away by the strong wind, and his body temperature dropped sharply.
The curious white pigeon was frightened by the sudden appearance of a living person and flew away to the grove under the TV tower. Qin Minghuang held onto the cold steel frame, followed the white pigeon, and looked down at the city below.
If it were someone with acrophobia, he would have died on the spot.
She sneezed, sniffed, took off her coat, went around the steel frame beside her, clasped her hands together, and tried to climb down.
Although she didn't understand the situation, she couldn't stay on the empty steel frame for long, so she had to get down.
Compared to the huge steel frame of the TV tower, she was as small as an ant. A gust of wind could make her hang in the air and sway. However, Qin Minghuang was agile and skilled in climbing, and finally climbed to the bottom without any danger.
Qin Minghuang let go and jumped off the last floor. Wearing only a vest, he looked at his crumpled coat and dropped it with regret.
There was no one around. She rubbed her arms and looked around, and saw a familiar vehicle not far away.
His eyes lit up, Qin Minghuang ran over, opened the car door, got in, pulled out a blanket and wrapped himself in it, looked around and didn't see the weird idiot doctor, so he drove away without hesitation.
If you don't leave now, when will you leave
It was drizzling, and the air was thick with moisture. A thin layer of mist covered the low buildings, and it was difficult to see clearly from the high altitude of the TV tower. Qin Minghuang was driving on the road before he saw what the situation was like in this place.
She slowed down at an intersection and looked at the orange-covered building opposite.
The building was supposed to be gray-blue with reflective glass on the outside, but now there were orange scars on its surface, and if she was not mistaken, the orange stuff seemed to be spreading and growing.
There were such orange scars not only on the distant buildings, but also on the outside of nearby houses and on the ground. Qin Minghuang passed by nearby and felt that these things looked like growing slime mold.
But slime molds don’t grow this big and cover this wide an area. There were so many of these weird things, they were almost everywhere, and they made people feel physically sick.
These "slime molds" are also a type of marine organisms. They often float in the sea and are food for many small marine organisms, the lowest level of feed.
However, these lowest things in the sky and sea suddenly become very noticeable after coming to the ground. They can attach themselves to any dead object and grow and expand rapidly.
As long as it rains continuously, they will cover every inch of the ground. They are harmless, and when the weather clears up and the air becomes dry, they will quickly die and shrink into a small ball due to the loss of water.
Qin Minghuang didn't know about this. She subconsciously avoided the unknown creatures and didn't dare to get close. She wanted to find a place to rest.
She used to think her life was too peaceful and boring. Who knew who heard her little complaint and gave her such an exciting world
She fully realized how ignorant she was before. Isn't a boring and ordinary world good? Now it's like this. It's exciting, but there's nothing delicious to eat and she has to go hungry.
She now misses the delicious food she had eaten in the past, especially the barbecued skewers, hotpot, crayfish, crabs, etc. that she can no longer eat often.
The noise of the car attracted an eight-legged crab that was foraging nearby. The blue crab body was not too big, but that was compared to the two-meter-long crab legs.
This huge creature, which was half a meter taller than the car, ran out of a garage and started chasing the car. Qin Minghuang turned his head to see its dignified appearance, took a deep breath, and stepped on the accelerator.
Damn! She said in her heart that she wanted to eat a big crab, but she didn't say that she wanted it to be alive, and she also wanted it to be this big!
Chasing a giant crab on a street covered with yellow slime mold should have been a very thrilling scene, but Qin Minghuang always felt like he was in some car chase action movie, which was very magical and lacked any sense of reality.
She thought to herself, am I really not dreaming? It was outrageous that she suddenly appeared on the TV tower.
The giant octopus happened to be wandering nearby and sensed Qin Minghuang's scent. It discovered from a distance that an eight-legged crab was chasing her. It angrily stretched out its body and put the eight-legged crab into its pouch.
The next second after the eight-legged crab disappeared out of thin air, Qin Minghuang turned his head and looked back again.
“…?” No, where’s the big crab? It disappeared without a sound
"Am I really too tired and having hallucinations?" Qin Minghuang pressed his forehead distrustfully and began to doubt himself deeply.
