The End of the World

Chapter 21

Views:

Due to the selective evolution of creatures, not every kind of creature can mutate, which has caused the strange landscape today. The poplar trees at both ends of the road stand upright on the ground, most of them are more than ten meters high, only a few of them suddenly rise up and break through the sky, and there are even one or two trees that twist their branches strangely, shaking the surrounding people of the same kind. They were beaten to pieces.

Yu Kai kept turning the steering wheel four times to avoid all kinds of sudden attacks. Fortunately, there are not many creatures on both sides of the national highway, so after waiting for the highway, there are even fewer creatures blocking the road. There are only some vehicles without owners clogging the road. They look dilapidated and unmanned, as if they have been abandoned for a long time.

"It seems that the so-called threat theory of direct sunlight has been dispelled." The car passed by a truck lying on the road again, Qin Chu glanced at it, and continued: "I just don't know that all these people have gone. Where is it, just throwing the car halfway like this, wouldn't it be an accident?"

Jing Xia was taken aback, and asked reflexively: "Sister Qin...haven't you ever thought that the car might be out of gas?"

"..." Qin Chu blushed immediately, coughed twice in embarrassment, turned his head away, and said, "I... I was just joking, how could I not know about it. It's a little bastard, the mutation on your head It seems like the hamster has been relying on you all the time, look at you now—a rat on your head, haha." Laughing deliberately raised his voice, Qin Chu changed the subject awkwardly.

"Chi Chi Chi Chi!!!"

Uncle Mouse is a mutated black-lined hamster! You are the mouse!

The hair all over his body was blown up, and the short and thick legs were pulling Jing Xia's hair tightly. He didn't have any claws or strength. He just tried to maintain his balance, and stared at Qin Chu with those small mung bean eyes. The eyes are too small to be lethal.

Jing Xia glanced at Qin Chu helplessly, but said nothing.

When Butler Wang passed away, he was too emotional and attributed all the faults to Qin Chu. Looking back afterwards, he really felt a little ashamed. As Qin Chu said, he probably knew that Steward Wang would not survive for a few days, and Qin Chu didn't do it on purpose, he could only vent his grief and hurt others by blindly blaming him like this.

Steward Wang was very relieved to leave, and even said that in such an apocalyptic world, it was a blessing for him to suffer less torture. After her mind calmed down, Jing Xia had calmly accepted this reality and faced up to tomorrow. Although they didn't say anything to Qin Chu, both of them tacitly didn't mention what happened that night again, just pretending that nothing happened.

"What is the threat of direct sunlight?" Qi Yang, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly opened his mouth, seeming to be interested. He turned to look at Jing Xia, and asked with a smile, "When did this kind of talk exist?"

Jing Xia didn't think much of it, and subconsciously replied: "Because most of the electromagnetic waves disappeared suddenly a few months ago, the upper...cough you understand, someone came and said that the sunspots were abnormally active, and asked everyone not to be exposed to the sun. under the light."

Junxiu's eyes slowly widened, Qi Yang was stunned for a long time, and suddenly he burst out laughing: "Is there still people who believe this kind of nonsense? It's so interesting, so interesting! The sunspot activity that can cause most of the electromagnetic waves in the world to disappear is no longer Ordinary magnetic storm phenomena can be described, so the x-rays, ultraviolet rays, protons and electron beams emitted by the sun must reach extremes that humans cannot bear. Long before the electromagnetic waves disappeared, the atmosphere had been completely destroyed, and it must have been before the notice was issued. Most of the people in the world died, microbes proliferated, viruses spread, and it became a hell."

The more he talked, the more excited he became, as if he saw the scene with his own eyes. Qi Yang was so excited that his fair cheeks flushed, and his eyes curved into a smile: "If this is really abnormal activity of sunspots, we should die before we evolve. The human beings are so cute, they are so cute that people can't help but kiss them."

"Ahem...!!!" Jing Xia suddenly choked on his saliva, he looked at the obviously crazy Qi Yang in shock, and unconsciously moved towards Ji Chuancheng's direction. When he leaned against the warm heat source, Jing Xia confirmed that he was separated by nearly 20 centimeters from the lunatic who laughed terribly, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

He doesn't want to be that... so cute that people can't help but kiss him!

Seeming to have noticed the abnormality of the young man, Qi Yang raised his eyes and said with a smile: "That Jingxia, it seems that you are still an IQ that has reached the average line, and you finally didn't listen to that kind of nonsense and stay in the dark obediently."

"..." Jing Xia glanced at Qi Yang speechlessly, then turned her head and ignored him again.

If he hadn't been reborn, he would really be one of the ordinary people who stay at home obediently and "below the average IQ".

"The speed may be faster after getting on the high speed." A deep magnetic voice suddenly sounded from behind Jing Xia, and he turned his head to look at Ji Chuancheng, only to see that the latter lowered his eyes and continued: "Probably tomorrow night It will definitely reach City S."

Jing Xia nodded: "Well, at this time, there should be an evolutionist organization established in City S. When we pass by, we can find them directly and discuss the next step."

Ji Chuancheng nodded slightly.

"Why are you so sure that there is an evolutionist organization established in city S?" A low laughing and teasing voice suddenly sounded.

Jing Xia replied subconsciously: "It's been more than four months since the divorce started. Shouldn't the human self-rescue base in S City be established long ago? I remember it was..."

"Because his IQ has reached the average." Ji Chuancheng suddenly interrupted Jing Xia's words: "Since you don't understand this question, it's really a pity, Qi Yang, your IQ has not reached the average."

Qi Yang: "..."

Seeing Qi Yang turned his head away deflated and stopped talking, Jing Xia broke out in a cold sweat——

He almost gave up just now!

Because he lived in the city s base for a long time in his previous life, he naturally knew that the city s base was established three months after the mutation day. It was established under the leadership of three evolutionaries. At the beginning, it was only to separate the evolutionaries from ordinary humans and ensure their own safety.

Contrary to the common thinking of the public, in City S, the evolutionaries with special abilities have not become the best among the crowd. From the blind eye and besieged by the first person, to the forced isolation of each evolutionary, ordinary human beings have a fear of these evolutionaries.

Hidden deep in their hearts is an inherent thinking that "if they are not of the same kind, their hearts must be different". Because of lack of strength, they grouped together to resist; because of fear, they looked for reasons to eradicate.

Therefore, when the first evolutionists were at a disadvantage, the days of all evolutionaries could be said to be very miserable. Except for a few who have special abilities to avoid the attacks of ordinary humans, most of the evolutionists fought with other people in difficult situations, and many evolutionaries were even killed during the most difficult evolution process.

Therefore, the evolutionary base in City S at the beginning was purely to fight against ordinary humans and fight for their own right to survive. This phenomenon has continued in City S, and the frozen and heavy atmosphere has not dissipated for a long time. It was not until the first mutant beast raid group that there was a change.

The greenery in City S is not dense, so the evolution of plants can almost be ignored. The only mutations in some household pets were also under the control of ordinary humans, and did not cause major incidents. However, a large attack of mutated animals in the zoo of S City made human beings see the horror of mutated beasts for the first time.

The zoo in city s is located in the west of city s, adjacent to the airport in city s. Because it is located in a remote park location, it did not have much impact on the people in the urban area after the mutation started. However, on October 3, 2015, which was later called "Bloody Day" by the surviving humans, the mutant beasts in the entire S City Zoo launched a counterattack against humans.

There are more than 6,000 animals in total, spanning more than 400 species, and the variation rate is as high as 10%.

As fierce as a jaguar, as strong as a gibbon, as powerful as an African elephant, as strong as a polar bear.

Excluding the nearly thousand mutated beasts, the mutated passionflower and southern snake vine alone directly wiped out hundreds of humans, and ordinary humans had almost no power to resist. This long-planned counterattack lasted until the junction of Changping District and Ning'an District before barely stopping.

In the face of the raging mutated beasts, hundreds of evolutionaries formed an attacking team, at the cost of nearly a hundred people, they desperately blocked the path of the mutated beasts, and successfully protected the millions of ordinary humans in the city S base life safety.

Thinking of this, Jing Xia sighed lightly, and clenched her fingers unconsciously.

If the "Bloody Day" was the first time that the people gathered at the city base faced the horror of mutant beasts, then... this could only be regarded as a prelude.

"Rest early today, and strive to arrive in City S early tomorrow." Ji Chuancheng broke a piece of compressed bread in half and handed it to Jing Xia. Seeing the young man's slightly pale complexion and narrowing his deep eyes, he said, "Wait until s Shi Qiyang will be separated from us, you don't have to pay too much attention to him."

Jing Xia was originally immersed in his depressed mood, but when he heard this, he raised his head in surprise and asked, "Qi...Qi Yang? What's wrong with him?"

The crackling and burning fire lit up the night, and the howling and desolate autumn wind smoothed Jing Xia's words into the air, so that Qin Chu and Qi Yang, who were sitting farther away, did not hear them. Only Yu Kai looked at them suspiciously. Talk more.

Ji Chuancheng was slightly taken aback, and said, "It's nothing."

The dim yellow moonlight shone down on this small stretch of expressway, and every hundred meters there would be long-abandoned vehicles crossing the road. Sitting at a distance of half a meter, Jing Xia looked down at the burning fire, and threw the small wooden stick in his hand into it.

"Achuan, the first wave of beasts in City B should have passed by now."

"Um."

Jing Xia frowned slightly: "That animal swarm wasn't too big, but I don't want...that kind of thing to happen like before." His voice was so low that only two people could hear it.

Ji Chuan turned his head calmly, his solemn and focused eyes were firmly locked on Jing Xia, and it took a long time before he whispered: "I have already reported everything that needs to be said, although it is impossible to ensure that everyone is intact. No injuries, but the... tragedy you mentioned will never happen."

Surrounded by three mountains, City B is not as close to the East China Sea as City S, and there are not as many species of creatures as the latter. That beast horde crossed the Yanshan Mountains and Taihang Mountains. It was not as fierce as the beast hordes in S city, but it caused hundreds of thousands of deaths and injuries due to unpreparedness.

"You can't save everyone, and because it's deep inland and surrounded by forests and mountains, City B is destined not to become the last stronghold of mankind. Our decision to go to City S is correct, and you don't have to feel guilty, at least you It must have saved a lot of people."

"Pfft." Hearing this, Jing Xia suddenly laughed lowly: "A Chuan, have you noticed that you always tell me things like 'don't feel guilty' and 'don't feel guilty'? You have evolved into a bosom brother Already."

Ji Chuancheng glanced at him coldly: "Aren't you sad?"

Jing Xia spread her hands: "Don't dare, brother bosom."

Ji Chuancheng: "..."

The cool breeze lingered in the open plains, and the little fires were finally extinguished after adding firewood several times. The first bright light of the new day came from the east, breaking the silent night. Taking advantage of the faint dawn, the black Land Rover was driving at a straight high speed.

When the round sunset quietly sinks, crossing the long bridge, the only car driving on the peaceful land finally crosses the Yangtze River and approaches the quiet city. When the last ray of light in the evening glow disappeared on the western horizon, the black Land Rover finally passed through the banner that read "Welcome to City S" and entered its final destination.

The surroundings are peaceful and seemingly peaceful.
