Chapter 414: Sophia's Prayer

Hunger, like a huge stone, weighed on Sophia's shoulder, making her kneel on the ground unable to straighten her waist.

She hadn't eaten for two weeks, barely surviving on some of the drinking water she had left over from before the disaster.

The catastrophe that swept the world erupted a year and a half ago.

It wasn't a disaster without warning, because a month before it began, her sister, who had been fostered in a wealthy family, had told her that the family was going to live on Planet Five.

At that time, Sophia was still going to college with the welfare support of the federal government, and in addition to being surprised and a little sad about her sister's departure, she could only say that when she made money in the future, she would definitely go to the Planet 5 base to find her.

Since her sister's family left, Sophia found that many wealthy people around her were competing to choose to leave their home planet and live on the space station or other planetary bases.

And in the week leading up to the disaster, there was apocalyptic panic talk on a global scale, not just in the real world, but also in the online world where people live, and similar news and articles everywhere.

Immediately after that, explosions began to occur all over the world, even nuclear explosions, and then there were power outages, power outages, and water outages.

In this world where the Internet of Things has been highly perfected and developed, without electricity and network, ordinary people living under this system really can't do anything.

After the disaster, the world's standard of living fell back to more than 100 years ago, and food and water, which no one had ever worried about, became the biggest obstacle to people's survival.

In the age of the Internet of Things, everything can be purchased online and then delivered via a logistics company's drone or a rail line that goes directly to your doorstep, which is very fast and convenient.

However, disasters broke out, order collapsed, power outages and network outages, and all the advantages of the Internet of Things era no longer existed.

Fortunately, the development of physical stores has never disappeared, so the various materials in the mall have become people's lifesavers.

However, the items in the mall are always limited and have a shelf life, and it is not possible to be eaten indefinitely.

And the most important thing is that the disaster came with a virus, and the living corpses that would have appeared in movies came to the real world.

Seeing her friends turn into man-eating monsters one by one, Sophia was very scared at that time, it was useless to be afraid, if she didn't want to die, she had to face her fear and live strongly.

After the collapse of order, the rules that used to bind human beings have also become a thing of the past, and the ruins of human nature and morality at this time have become respected by the strong.

By chance, Sophia got a genetic optimization potion worth hundreds of millions of dollars in peacetime, which ordinary people simply couldn't afford.

This genetic optimization potion has made Sophia an awakened person, with strength and speed far beyond ordinary people, and the ruins that were originally full of crises have become less terrifying.

She survived.

But she knows that in this bad world, it is difficult for her to change anything by herself, and even if she is not careful, she may still die.

So she formed a team of survivors and enlisted survivors to help each other survive the disaster.

For more than a year, she and her team survived in the cracks, and after a lot of hard work, they finally found an arsenal.

Equipped with powerful weapons, Sophia and her team members have the capital to fight the hordes of living corpses and even crush them with firepower.

However, the problem came again, there were more than 20 people in the team, and eating, drinking, and Lazar were all big problems.

The food that was originally collected bottomed out day by day, and it continued, and when the food was eaten up, everyone could only hold a bunch of iron lumps and wait for death.

After discussion, Sophia planned to take the team members to a nearby material warehouse.

Unfortunately, no one knows where the storage is.

So, some people proposed to let people drive low-altitude flying cars to find it, but because before and after the disaster, nuclear bombs were detonated in many parts of the world, and the nuclear electromagnetic pulse enveloped the whole world.

Most of the electronic components of those low-altitude flying cars that do not have electromagnetic protection are burned out, and no one in their team will repair them.

Sophia and her team couldn't get their hands on that kind of craft now, and if they could, she would have chosen to take this kind of spacecraft, leaving the ruined ruins and going to the space station overhead.

As the supplies bottomed out little by little, and unable to find new ones, Sophia and her team members were in a huge predicament.

The number of the team, from more than 50 people at the beginning, due to various reasons, either left or died, has plummeted to only 12 people now.

Hunger, like a dark cloud, hangs over everyone's heads.

Although she has awakened and become stronger, in fact, Sophia's energy consumption to maintain her body must be obtained from food from the outside world, so when facing food, she is no different from ordinary people.

If you don't eat, you'll die.

Sophia, who hadn't eaten for two weeks, felt that her body was gradually becoming weaker, and she knew that if she continued like this, she and her team members would have no choice but to die.

In fact, because the materials in the surrounding area have long been collected by them, she has nothing to do now except wait for death.

In despair, Sophia began to pray to God, and it is a well-known thing that there is a divine existence in this universe.

That otherworldly existence standing on the top of the starry sky is not only powerful, but also very miraculous, if he can be watched and responded to, maybe he can live?

Although the odds are negligible, there is no better way for Sophia than to pray.

“…… Can you hear my call, O God of the Almighty, and ask for your help, for I will give everything I have to repay your help......"

After muttering for a few minutes, but there was no response, Sophia laughed at herself in her heart: "I'm really stupid, the divine is a big man in the universe, how could he set his eyes on a little girl in the ruins."

However, I am not reconciled, I don't want to die, I can't die, I still have to lead my team out of the ruins, I have to go to the base of Planet 5 to find my sister, and I have to talk about a ...... Huh?"

Halfway through the thoughts in her heart, what made Sophia stunned was that the area directly in front of her suddenly squirmed strangely.

Her eyes and mouth widened, and after about ten seconds, a black swirling hole formed.

Sophia felt apprehensive in her heart, and with some fear, she forcibly moved her body and leaned back.

At this moment, a handsome humanoid young man dressed in black stepped out of the black whirlpool hole.

This strange and magical scene made Sophia swallow her saliva and pursed her shriveled mouth tightly, and the shock in her heart could not be calmed down for a long time.
