C1125 The World in a Hundred Years
2124 A. D. , 35 years in Evil Era.
This was an era where death was everywhere. Human lives were inferior to grass. There was never a trace of light in the sky. The night was like eternal darkness, and one could only see the depressing gloominess during the day.
The temperature remained at zero degrees Celsius all year round. The entire world gradually forgot about the sun, warmth, and. . . Humanity in the process of being cold.
In the end, less than a hundred million humans hid in thousands of settlements all over the world, struggling to survive.
They used all their strength and wisdom to fight against the giants who were once humans like them, but had now turned into wild beasts, and the mutated beasts that were originally wild beasts. They fought bloody, cruel, and indifferent struggles.
In an era where food and water could not be guaranteed, most people had already forgotten the meaning of life. They did not understand why they were still living like zombies.
However, the nature of life caused any human to instinctively struggle for survival.
As long as they could survive, who would really be willing to face death?
Not every settlement had the ability to build giant city walls that were tens of meters tall. There were only a hundred or so settlements that had the ability to build city walls.
Although these hundreds of settlements only occupied one tenth of the total number of settlements, they accommodated about half of the remaining population!
Being able to become residents of those hundreds of settlements was the dream of every human being in this era.
Because as long as one could enter those settlements and live there. . . This meant that comparatively speaking, there was still a relatively orderly life. Comparatively speaking, there was still plenty of food and water.
Comparatively speaking, he could still live like a human.
Although it was only relative, it was still much better than their current lives.
Compared to the remaining thousands of people who lived in the settlements with hundreds or even tens of thousands of people, it was much better!
This was an era where the law of the jungle developed to the extreme. Humans were inferior to pigs and dogs because humans could think, so humans were in pain.
The tens of millions of giants all over the world were also constantly hunting for humans who were not protected by the city walls. When they were hungry, they would also eat other mutated life forms. However, their favorite food was still mutated humans that shared the same source.
Ironically, weak mutated humans had to gather together in order to ensure the most basic survival. Only then would they be able to hunt for other Mutated Creatures.
However, it was also because they were gathered together that the giants had a clear target to hunt, making it easier for them to be discovered and attacked by the giants.
Whether they died in the hands of other Mutated Creatures alone or if they died in the mouths of the giants when moving in groups, this was a problem.
Such a strange biological chain had created such a strange structure and life circle, which resulted in an abnormal lifestyle.
The humans in the small settlements had no choice but to migrate at all times. Only large settlements with over ten thousand people had the ability to fight back against the attacks of the sporadic giants.
However, something that happened half a year ago caused these mutated humans, who had almost lost their ability to think, to feel a great shock.
As the headquarters of one of the four major companies in the world, the Atville Company's settlement, which had a population of 800,000 and was under the protection of the tall city walls, was considered one of the safest places in the world. However, it was suddenly attacked by millions of giants!
Finally, the city wall was broken through by the crazy giants. Millions of giants rushed into Atville Company's headquarters. Atville Company activated the self-destruction device and millions of giants turned into ashes along with the entire settlement.
Although one-tenth of the total giants were destroyed in a short period of time, when such news was spread to all parts of the world through various means, it still made everyone who heard it feel incomparably shocked.
Because they always thought that giants didn't have the ability to think and only had instincts. Giants never appeared in groups. They always wandered alone on the land of this world, which gave humans the ability to contend against them.
However, half a year ago, they did not know what had happened. A situation where millions of giants gathered together actually happened!
Only the headquarters of the four big companies had the ability to distribute the self-destruction devices that could destroy the entire super large settlements in an instant. In other words, if such a situation occurred outside the other settlements.
Humans would not be able to fight back at all.
Fortunately. . . Such a thing only happened once. . . And that time. . . It had already been half a year.1
Humans are innately good at forgetting, especially when today we don't know if we can live until tomorrow when we breathe the turbid air. Most humans quickly put this matter to the back of their minds, except for the few people who still occupied the top of humanity. Only the big shots who enjoyed the most resources and material life supplies and did not need to worry about their survival would think about this matter. . .
It was just that these things had nothing to do with ordinary humans.
At the edge of a huge city ruins in the eastern part of Asia, from the appearance of the broken walls on the ground, it could be seen that it originally belonged to the range of a skyscraper.
The city ruins, which should have been dead silent, suddenly had a slight movement. The old steel that had been corroded by the air and rain, which had been in a strange color for decades, suddenly loosened.
Soon after, the loosening was like a string of sounds, and the sound of the debris kept ringing.
A few minutes later, a loud noise was heard from the ruins. A large amount of trash flew into the air and was thrown into the air by some unknown force. Then, they fell outside the ruins.
Two figures, a man and a woman, climbed up from under the ruins in a sorry state. . .
They were wearing a well-ironed old Dragon Rider military uniform. When they finally climbed up from the ruins and saw the scene in front of them, they immediately became silent.
The two of them were Qin Yunyi and Wang Yi, who had been sleeping for a hundred years.
When the freezing time set on the device arrived, the entire device began to slowly thaw and recover their bodily functions through stored nutrition.
Due to the ultra-low temperature close to absolute zero when freezing, that was a low temperature that could freeze even light in an instant!
Therefore, the defrosting process was slow and complicated. After half a year, the two of them finally regained consciousness and control of their bodies.
"This. . . Is the world in a hundred years?" The King was still staring blankly at the scene of doomsday. Although he was mentally prepared, he still found it hard to believe.
The eight years of life had allowed the Gene Unlocking Degree to reach the level of a major general. In order to prevent Qin Yunyi from retreating a hundred years later, the king had put in a lot of effort.
"Looks like it's true. . . "
Qin Yunyi stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. He looked at all kinds of data in his line of sight as well as the extreme environmental report that resounded in his mind. He smiled bitterly and said, "I suddenly have some regrets. Maybe I should just let myself die normally. Why did I come here to see this doomsday scene?"
