Chapter 1: The Flickering Tinder

Thump......

A dull sound of entering the water sounded.

The heavy wetsuit, carrying the owner wrapped in it, turned into a vague shadow and slowly sank into the depths of the sea.

A few mottled spots of light seeped in from the sea behind him, bringing a glimmer of light.

But these rays of light are insignificant to the sea.

The deep blue ocean seems to inadvertently digest the formless and qualitative light into a void darkness.

It's no wonder that the sun can't shine in, and now the sea level of the earth is far higher than the average mountain peak, engulfing most of the land.

Therefore, on most of the sea level, there is a layer of snow and white clouds that only exist in the sky, like cotton candy, obscuring the light from the sky.

If you look at it from the sea, you will feel like you are in the sky, with white clouds drifting, but below, it is actually a bottomless ocean.

In this situation, the sea now presents a dark color of nothingness, and the deeper it goes, the deeper the darkness becomes, like a huge mouth of the abyss, encroaching on everything that falls into.

In such a situation, it is not easy to have the courage to dive.

This kind of difficulty does not seem to have much impact on the person who has just dived to the bottom of the sea, and the seemingly extraordinary diving suit has not emitted any light because of the darkness.

He was plunging into the deep darkness with the help of the heavy mass of his wetsuit.

This did not mean that he could see the darkness, but that any light was extremely dangerous for the depths of the sea today.

After the comet comets, the mutated sea creatures became extremely sensitive to light, and if they were detected, there might be only one way out of this dark place.

In fact, in today's world, every dive is almost life-or-death.

But he had to dive, and if he didn't get anything, he would have to starve, and he had to eat.

He had to survive.

Gurgling, bubbles rising and falling behind him, as he dived, he seemed to be grasping a large iron hook in his hand, and on top of it was a very long and thick rope, which stretched far to the surface of the sea.

This is the only straw for him when he is in the dark ocean.

He clutched the iron hook, and with the help of the seavision device that came with the wetsuit, he could see a little distance in the dark, but the visual distance was limited.

Of course, he is not blind to everything, and the presence of the sea vision device solves many troubles and is a must-have for every diver.

With a slight blister from the fall, his form farther and farther away from the sea level until there was no light left, and it turned pitch black.

After a few minutes of this dive, it finally slowed down.

At this moment, before his limited visual distance, a large outline of the city seemed to emerge.

It was originally a mountain city, but before the disaster, it was a relatively remote place, and no one cared about it.

Today, however, it is one of the few cities closest to sea level, and a place he frequents.

Creation makes people.

Boom......

Eventually, his feet landed heavily on a street in the city, and the impact splashed up a little dust that spread all around.

He didn't care, he looked around, carefully observed, for so long, to make sure that there was no trace of sea life around, which made him breathe a sigh of relief, and without the slightest hesitation, he began to search with heavy steps......

No one would want to encounter any mutated creatures in this deep depth, unless they were forced to do so.

Drops.

"Whew. ”

He searched for a long time, and at one point, he took a deep breath, slowly stopped, and searched hard for two quarters of an hour, but nothing was found, at this time, the warning of insufficient oxygen content in the diving suit had sounded in his ears.

The dive had apparently failed, and the remaining oxygen could only be used by him to return to the surface, which made him a little helpless.

He swept his gaze tentatively again, and after a moment, he shook his head in disappointment and pressed the rise button on the hook.

The rope suddenly tightened, pulling his heavy body away from the underwater city in his diving suit.

"Looks like I've been hungry for two days. ”

The corners of his mouth were slightly bitter at the thought, but it was not uncommon for any diver to return empty-handed like this.

But somewhat, it still brings a sense of disappointment, after all, every dive requires half a day's work to prepare.

Just when he was in a little gloomy mood, an inadvertently let the corner of his eye seem to catch a glimpse of something, which made him stunned for a while, and then without hesitation, he hurriedly pressed the button of the iron hook of his finger, and the hook lock took him to hover on the roof of a tall building.

He saw a crate, the shape familiar to him, it was the military supply crate before the disaster.

Inside the supply crates, the items can be properly stored, and even the precious equipment left over from the previous civilization is quite tempting for any diver.

He was a little surprised by his luck and hurriedly swam in that direction.

But the surprise did not let him let his guard down, and as he approached the box, he carefully surveyed everything around him with the help of the not-so-distant vision of the sea vision glasses.

After looking around like this, he still didn't see any danger.

At this moment, he finally did not scruple about it, swung his arms, swam to the side of the box, and quickly took out a rope and hung it on the iron hook and the box.

With that, he pressed the button again, and the hook slowly rose towards the sea with the box and him.

On the way back, it was very stable and nothing happened, which made his collapsed body relax, and a kind of pleasure for the rest of his life came to his heart.

Even if nothing happens in the process.

But what you should know is that for the current remnants of mankind, the chance of diving death is 60% of the majority.

Those mutated sea creatures not only possess the wisdom of human beings, but also have extremely terrifying powers.

This kind of power, for the current human beings, is almost beyond majeure.

And...... It's not just sea creatures, but also mutant groups who have abandoned their human identity and become part of the ocean.

Those people...... Maybe it shouldn't be called people, those monsters, they have great hostility towards the humans who have not mutated now, and if they meet, they will inevitably attack indiscriminately.

Whoa!

The crisp sound of breaking water sounded, and the hooklock took him and the box out of the water, and on the water, there was an endless layer of white clouds, and the clouds and mist were churning with the sun, like a fairyland.

But he didn't take a second look at the beauty around him, apparently familiar for a long time.

He jumped off the hook and stood on a place that resembled a deck, and around the deck were a series of strange rocks, which surrounded the deck like an island, isolated in a sea of clouds.

"Look what I've brought back, old man. ”

As soon as he landed down, he shouted into the air, moved his hands, and slowly took off the heavy metal helmet on his head.

With his movements, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old handsome young man's face leaked out.

The young man's cheeks are softly curved, which can be regarded as handsome cheeks, but he does not lose a trace of perseverance.

The owner of this wetsuit is so young.

"Ahem, don't yell, it's my sleep time, old man. ”

Not long after the young man's voice fell, a thick hoarse voice came from mid-air, and as far as he looked, a huge head turned around.

The skull was wrapped in strange stones, but a pair of pale cyan beast pupils appeared from the stone, looking at its form, it looked like the head of a stone dragon, and on the top of that head, there was a huge sharp horn, which was extremely sharp.

And the island that the boy stepped on at this time was actually formed by the body of this strange dragon that surfaced.

After the mutation occurred, the animals that had been domesticated by humans for a long time, such as dogs, chickens, ducks, cows, pigs, etc., did not show hostility towards humans, but became a habitat for humans because of their large body.

Most of the surviving humans, like him, live on the massive bodies of these Edenmons.

It is precisely because of the existence of these Edenmons that human civilization has not been erased as fragile as paper, but has transitioned out in the initial difficult days and regained some scale.

As for why it is called by the word Eden, the meaning is also clear.

"Cut, the sun is still on your head, what are you sleeping, come and see what treasure I have found!"

The boy pouted and taunted, and then excitedly removed the military supply crate on the deck with the hook lock of the diving platform.

Seeing this, the giant beast called the old man, the beast pupil also blinked, and the big head came over with a little interest.

"Oh, you kid, you found a military supply crate. ”

The monster dragon took one look and exclaimed.

This kind of box, a long time ago, the boy also salvaged one, and that time, it can be said that he made a lot of money, and went to a large market that is very rare for human beings today, and exchanged for a lot of materials.

The boy smiled, took a knife from his wetsuit he hadn't taken off, and pried it at the edge of the box.

Looking at the impatient appearance, it is obvious that there are some coveted materials.

"Roar!"

After he pried open the box, before his face showed a little joy, it froze directly.

I heard a sharp roar, and a giant shrimp half a person tall suddenly rushed out of the box, looking extremely terrifying, and even the boy was there for the first time, and there was no reaction.

Suddenly exposed to the sun, the giant shrimp was also flurry for a while, and then hurriedly stepped on its paws, ignoring the stunned young man in front of him, and quickly ran towards the edge of the stone island, obviously wanting to escape into the sea of clouds and escape to the ocean.

"Damn!"

The young man woke up from his stunned state, but he didn't expect that this military box would actually become the nest of the tyrannical lobster.

This tyrannosaurus lobster is actually a mutant of shrimp, but among the current marine creatures, it is not very powerful, but for a fifteen or sixteen-year-old child, it is still a bit nerve-wracking.

But no matter what, since the tyrannical lobster came to the surface of the sea, there was no reason to let the prey escape.

"If I don't have supplies, I have to fill my stomach with you!"

The boy paid attention, snorted coldly, and pounced on the tyrannosaurus lobster in a heavy diving suit.

The huge mass of the diving suit carried the boy towards the fleeing figure and pressed hard, which immediately made the lobster unable to move, but as soon as he struggled for a moment, a strange light lit up.

Boom!

The young man only felt that his body was shocked, and he was thrown aside, and the tyrannical lobster also took advantage of this sudden burst of power to quickly run to the edge of the stone island, which was a vertical leap.

Watching the prey in his hand escape, the young man's eyes suddenly became gloomy, which would make it run away, and this trip was nothing more than a waste of work.

"Old man!"

He shouted, the strange dragon who witnessed all this also showed a helpless look, and as soon as his neck stretched out, his big mouth bit the tyrannosaurus lobster in the air.

Brush!

was bitten by the strange dragon, and the lobster also struggled violently, but under the absolute power, it was also a little helpless, and after a while, it lost its strength and stopped moving.

"Haha!"

Seeing this, the young man also laughed, at this critical moment, it is obvious that the old man with mysterious power is more reliable than him.

Seeing that he was happy, the strange dragon was also grinning, but the next moment, in the young man's glaring gaze, he directly swallowed the body of the tyrannosaurus lobster, chewed for a while, and spit out two arm-sized crab claws.

This scene made the young man suddenly look at the strange dragon with hatred.

"Truly, this is the interest I made. ”

This strange dragon is obviously not serious, and said with a sneer.

In this regard, the boy had to shrug his shoulders, the meat of the lobster and the crab claw part is more tender and the taste is the best, but it doesn't lose anything.

He picked up the crab claws, worked on them, and set them on the fire.

After doing this, he dragged his lazy and tired body to move, and as soon as he sat down, he leaned against the wooden house at the head of the deck, and his eyes were on the churning sea of clouds at that moment.

Unconsciously, he has spent four years in this life, and now he is the only one left, living on the huge body of this strange dragon.

At first, his father and eldest brother were still alive, and he didn't feel so confused, but the accident of two diving made the endless loneliness and burden on his still immature shoulders.

He didn't dare to think about what the future would be, he could only live one day at a time, on this endless sea of clouds, accompanied by the Eden Beast, a lonely existence.

"Days like these...... How much longer? ”

The young man thought secretly, a little bitterness wrapped around the corners of his mouth, but he couldn't pour it out.

Today's human beings, like a flickering fire, are difficult to support alone in this vast ocean......
