"My son!"
Tao Ran woke up from his sleep, and heard a woman's shrill scream. He got up from the bed and walked to the window. After opening the window, he saw several soldiers dragging a boy about his own age, followed by a middle-aged woman. The scream was made by that woman.
The boy who was being dragged was full of tears and his eyes were full of helplessness. The woman rushed up and grabbed the boy's leg. The boy cried, "Mom..."
There are already many people standing in the corridor, everyone is used to this kind of situation, and all of them have only numbness on their faces. The woman grabbed her son's feet, and two of the arresting soldiers stepped out and dragged the woman back.
The woman screamed, and the boy shouted in despair: "Don't touch my mother! Don't touch my mother!"
A leading soldier said: "Be careful!"
Tao Ran saw blue flames emanating from the young man's body, instantly enveloped himself and the soldiers who were holding him, and the soldiers let go of the young man with screams. The woman lay on the ground and shouted: "Run!"
The Pyro boy turned around and ran away, the leader of the soldiers had been prepared and fired a shot at the boy. The boy fell to the ground, and the flames all over his body burned the fake curtains of the neighbors. After a while, the boy was burned into human-shaped ashes.
The fire spread very quickly, a middle-aged man walked in and said to Tao Ran, "Hurry up, this place is going to be burned too."
That person is Tao Ranxian's father, named Chaofeng, and Tao Ranxian is called Chaoge.
Tao Ran walked out following Chao Feng, while looking back at the two burning soldiers. The two soldiers were writhing on the ground in pain, and after a while they were burned to ashes like the boy.
The teenager's mother knelt on the ground and howled, her son had just died in front of her.
Tao Ran shuddered, Chao Feng took Tao Ran's hand and said, "Don't be afraid, Dad is here."
The people living in this dilapidated building were all gathered in the open space downstairs. The officer who shot and killed the Huoman boy stood in front of everyone and said, "Do you think it's cruel?"
Everyone didn't dare to speak, and the officer said again: "He didn't have to die, and the two innocent soldiers didn't have to die, but he tried to resist, not only harming himself but also harming others."
Speaking of this, the chief seemed a little sad. He said: "It's not that the country has given up on humanoids. The country is also looking for ways. These humanoids must be controlled, otherwise when everyone in the world becomes humanoids, human beings will be destroyed." It's really going to be extinct..."
Tao Ran lowered his head and began to ask Xiaomei, "When will I meet a female supporting role?"
Xiaomei said: "It's coming soon."
Tao Ran continued: "In the past few worlds, my identity was related to the female supporting role. At least I had the opportunity to meet the female supporting role, but I didn't find the name Chao Ge in this novel from the beginning to the end."
Speaking of this, Xiaomei's panda face showed a bit of embarrassment, and he said: "Don't worry, the host, you can meet the female partner, I promise."
Tao Ran said, "Then tell me, how did I meet the female supporting role?"
Xiaomei said: "Do you still remember the scene where the hero and heroine meet for the first time in the novel?"
Tao Ran thought about it for a while, and said: "The hero led his men to attack a temporary army camp. After killing everyone inside, he found the heroine hiding in the water."
"Yes." Xiaomei said: "The one who helped the male protagonist kill everyone is his right-hand female partner, and you are among those who were killed."
Tao Ran: "..."
Tao Ran deserted for a while, and the officer's speech had come to an end.
"In short, if you find a human-like person, you must report it to the local authority immediately. You can rest assured that the human-like person will not be life-threatening after being taken away. The government just gathers them in one place to prevent accidents..."
Tao Ran listened indifferently, but what he thought in his heart was that it was all a lie.
The novel he travels through is a post-apocalyptic novel. The apocalypse here is not a zombie apocalypse or an environmental apocalypse, but a kind of apocalypse that makes people feel very helpless.
Tao Ran has read so many novels. If he wants to talk about changes in the natural environment or zombies, although it is painful and tragic, human beings always have a chance of survival, but this end of the world is different.
As early as ten years ago, the first supernatural person appeared in human beings, and then supernatural persons appeared all over the world.
These supernatural beings are just like those shown in film and television dramas. Some can generate electricity, some can create fire out of thin air, and some can turn their bodies into metal. Various supernatural beings appear one by one. At the beginning, everyone from high-ranking officials to ordinary people felt happy. They thought it was a manifestation of human evolution.
The government gathers these people and organizes them into an army or uses them in tasks that ordinary people cannot do. Everything is harmonious, these supernatural beings are respected and admired, and their social status is very detached.
It wasn't until this situation lasted for nearly ten years that everyone realized that something was wrong, because these supernatural beings all had a common feature, that is, they had no offspring. No matter whether they are combined with supernatural beings or ordinary people, they cannot give birth to the next generation.
Governments around the world organized research, and then they discovered that people with supernatural powers cannot conceive the next generation. Moreover, supernatural beings will also affect ordinary people, and some people who are relatively close to supernatural beings will eventually become supernatural beings.
What do these two characteristics mean? It means that sooner or later, everyone in the world will become a supernatural being. And when this happens, it means that human beings will not have newborn babies.
People with supernatural powers only have supernatural powers, and their lifespan is no different from that of ordinary humans. In this way, human beings will disappear from this planet in less than a hundred years at most.
Scientists are crazy, they tried everything, even restarted the human cloning experiment which has always been criticized, but it still didn't work. The clones of supernatural beings can't survive for ten days, and the clones of ordinary people are also subject to cell genetic problems and cannot break through problems such as lifespan and disease.
So in order for human beings to continue to reproduce, the leaders of all countries issued the same order on the same day, that is, to eliminate all supernatural beings.
And they are separated from the category of human beings, called humanoids.
That is, similar to a person, not a person.
The humanoids were massacred because they had no defense at the beginning. By the time they finally regained their strength and wanted to resist, there were very few humanoids left in the world.
However, the production of humanoids in the world will not stop. The government issued an order that as long as new humanoids appear, they must report to the local authorities as soon as possible. And everyone has to go for a test every few days to see if there are any humanoids hidden in it.
In this way, ordinary people are isolated and live in this kind of militarized protection. Even though the government is now encouraging births, the population is still shrinking.
Those persecuted humanoids fled to a place and formed an organization to rebel against the government of ordinary people. The hero Qin Ke in this article is the leader of a humanoid organization in Huaguo, and the female supporting role is his capable general, named Kui Qingqing.
After the officer finished what he had to say, he looked at the building behind which had been gradually engulfed by the fire. He said that it was no longer possible to live in this place. These homeless people would first follow the army to live in a temporary garrison, and wait until the house was built come back again.
Tao Ranxin said that the day when he could meet the female partner was coming soon, because the original owner was killed in the temporary camp, that is to say, the house had not been repaired at that time, and they could not leave the camp.
Looking at her silent son, Chaofeng thought he was frightened today, so she said, "Don't be afraid, Dad is here."
Tao Ran glanced at Chaofeng. In the book, his ending should be the same as Chaoge's, he probably died at the place where he was stationed. Tao Ran was taken care of by him for a few days, and if he could be saved, he still had to be saved, and he couldn't just watch him die like this.
Tao Ran said, "Dad, can we not go to the camp?"
Chaofeng said: "I can't."
Tao Ran was taken aback by the crisp and clear two words, and he said, "Is there no relative's house where I can stay?"
Chao Feng said: "Son, your father is not popular, it's not like you don't know."
Tao Ran: "..." Well, pretend I didn't say anything.
Tao Ran followed the main force to the station, and Chao Feng brought back the tent and other supplies, and started to set up the tent. At this time, a woman Tao Ran had seen but could not name came to talk with her daughter.
Tao Ran listened for a while, to the effect that it was not easy for her to be alone with her daughter. Anyway, the state now encourages childbirth, and there are rewards for childbirth. Can their mother and daughter marry together, the daughter marries the son, and the mother marries the father. Because the state stipulates that marriage can divide the house, the mother and daughter do not want to live in a tent here, so they come to discuss this matter with Chaofeng.
Tao Ran took a look at the girl, she was about the same age as him, young and pretty. I don't know what Chaofeng thinks and whether he will agree.
Chaofeng just thought about it for a while, and then refused half of it.
That is to say, he himself explicitly rejected the girl's mother, but said that if Tao Ran liked the girl, he would not object to the two young people being together.
Tao Ran stood up and said, "Dad, I also refuse."
The girl's mother's face suddenly became extremely ugly. The girl seemed to like Chaoge, and looked at Tao Ran with aggrieved eyes and said, "Don't you like me? Am I not good-looking?"
Tao Ran said, "You are beautiful, but I don't like you."
The ruthlessness of the father and son caused the mother and daughter to be hit hard, and the girl's mother took the girl away cursing.
After the tent was finished, Chaofeng came back with food from the cafeteria, and then asked Tao Ran, "Why don't you want to? Now that the world is like this, monogamy is no longer forced. Three people can live together."
Tao Ran said with a dull face: "Dad, I don't want to be like this. Whoever I want to be with must be someone I really like."
Chao Feng smiled, reached out and rubbed Tao Ran's head, and said, "As expected of my son, he is exactly like me."
Of course, Tao Ran's real thought was that he had to go with the female partner, and he didn't know how to arrange for a wife now.
