1832. The State of the Earth
Earth.
Nearly three years have passed since the brutal battle that caused a sensation all over the world and involved the life and death of billions of people.
In the past three years, countless lives have been reborn and countless lives have died.
The flowers bloomed and thanked, and the grass turned green and yellow.
Time is probably the only irresistible thing in the world, it is like a sharp blade, silently cutting through all the hardness and softness, moving forward unchanged for eternity, nothing can make its path the slightest bump, and it changes everything.
Just like the city of London, which was once tragically destroyed by the fire demon and suffered from the baptism of nuclear weapons, it has almost been rebuilt in the past few years.
The iconic Big Ben building once again stands in the bustling land of Western Europe.
New buildings have risen, and new high-rises have risen into the sky.
The ancient city of Western Europe has reappeared in the eyes of the world with a new look.
But buildings can be reborn, cities can be rebuilt, and the people who fell in the catastrophe will never be seen again.
On London's City Square, a bronze statue of Puno the Great stands tall.
This man who did not hesitate to use himself as a lead to detonate a nuclear bomb in order to protect the world, but at this time he continues to live in this world in this form.
Almost everyone who walks by will cast a respectful gaze at him.
Not far away, a beautiful woman patiently told her kindergarten child about the legend of this man.
"Jack, he's a hero~"
"Mom, what's a hero?"
"Hmm~~" The woman thought for a moment, and then said, "A hero is someone who will be full of respect and admiration when you stand in front of him. ”
Oh, yes.
What is a hero, this is a hero, right?
The meaning of their existence today is to be admired and respected.
Just because their deeds make people tremble and look up. We can't be as great as heroes, but we should respect them.
In addition to these passers-by, in the city square, every evening, a middle-aged woman would be seen in front of the stone statue, talking to herself, as if chatting with him again.
But every time, as she spoke, the woman would wet her clothes with tears.
She was his daughter, the only relative of Emperor Puno in this world.
Emperor Puno didn't see her until he died.
When she remembered what had happened, the woman's heart was filled with guilt and remorse.
She didn't expect that her willfulness back then would become a regret that would be difficult to make up for for the rest of her life.
The only thing she can do now is to talk to her father like she is now, hoping that he will know and hear her apologies as a daughter.
In addition to these regrets, since the catastrophe of that year, although there have been small disputes between countries, on the whole, the world has been calm.
With the reconstruction of Africa and the recovery of Western Europe, many people who had fled the country because of the refuge in those years have returned to their hometowns, going to work, going to school, getting married, having children, and starting to live as usual.
The only difference may be the huge and majestic black hole above the sky.
Since it appeared two years ago, it hasn't disappeared.
The black hole was like a demon's open mouth, as if something terrible would come out of it at any moment. At first, the appearance of this black hole caused a huge panic around the world.
After the danger of the fire demon, the people of the world at that time were undoubtedly frightened birds, and any wind and grass would undoubtedly give great fear to the people of the world who had gone through the tribulation.
But later, people found that the appearance of this black hole did not seem to bring anything bad to the world.
The sun still rises in the east, and the birds still chirp.
The whole world is quiet as usual.
Over time, the world will become accustomed to the existence of this black hole and no longer worry about fear.
The ignorant are fearless, maybe that's what it is.
These people at the bottom of society naturally don't know what this black hole represents.
All they see is what is in front of them.
This is the limitation of status on horizons.
Unlike the peace and reluctance of the world, as the days go by, the worries of the high-level leaders of the armed alliances of various countries are becoming more and more intense.
United States.
Empire State Building, New York.
Back then, Chu Yun was here to kill Warren, the protector of the United States, when he was nailed to the top of the Empire State Building.
Now, many years have passed, Warren's body has long been buried in the ground, and the Imperial Mansion has undergone several rounds of renovations, but the traces of the Great War have long since disappeared.
At this time, on the top of the Empire State Building, a middle-aged man, dressed in a black suit, was standing under the firmament, looking up at the majestic black hole in the depths of the river that day, and the heavy and worried on his old face was so rich.
