Prologue – The Land of Demons

In 2035, the world's science and technology will somehow advance by leaps and bounds after a short period of slow development, with civil, military, and aerospace technologies all developing technologies that were only science fiction works fifteen years ago.

Food, clothing, housing and transportation are closely related to the changes related to human beings, the most noteworthy thing is that human footsteps can finally easily fill the sky with space stations and cross the moon to Mars, however, nuclear weapons are still a deterrent weapon of destruction, and its destructive status is unparalleled.

The times are progressing, human beings are developing, but the rapid development of science and technology can not solve all problems, with the growth of population, the mountains and valleys are wheat and rice, the water source is an unsolvable problem, the war resumed, in just a few years, from the armed conflict in the small South African country to the third world war.

In 2024 AD, Ah Mei you see that the development of science and technology has taken the lead in the world for half a century, took over the position of President Obaniu, and successfully re-elected for two terms, SB Pu resolutely launched a war in the last year of his tenure, which is once again in person after World War II.

Dozens or hundreds of large, medium, and small yield nuclear warheads combined with space-based weapons, as well as the Stick Country, the Three Kingdoms, and Dongying jointly launched attacks on the Celestial Empire, Polar Bear, and other Asian and European countries, and focused on attacking the Celestial Empire.

The Celestial Empire and the polar bears of Asia and Europe naturally fought back unceremoniously, and the Celestial Empire's counterattack even shocked the world's heads and brains, launching 769 medium- and high-yield strategic nuclear warheads and a large number of intercontinental missiles and tactical ballistic missiles at one time.

Ah, look at President Donald A. S Pu probably wanted to give a dozen rounds of heavy damage, but he didn't expect the Celestial Empire to react so fiercely, and directly hit with heavy punches, and three hundred large-yield nuclear bombs completely wiped out before Ah Mei didn't seem to be useful to the hole cards.

The continuous bombardment of Kyoto, light and heavy industry, and agricultural bases of other hostile countries with multi-nuclear bombs at designated points was chilled by the rescue investigations carried out by various countries afterwards, and the bomb shelters deep underground were destroyed, which was a complete genocidal attack.

The people of the Celestial Empire are not casual, they are not human when they are casual, they are too cruel. This is the common understanding of all countries after the Third World War, who can withstand the impact of hundreds of nuclear bombs?

The earth can't stand it, earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanoes erupt wave after wave, and it is completely the rhythm of the destruction of the world.

The Third World War came very suddenly, and the people in the warring countries in the world, including Ah Mei, did not realize that the war had already begun when the peace ended, and the war came and went quickly, and mankind had not recovered from a series of devastating blows that were ashamed of itself, and the war was over.

Historical records: The lightning-fast Third World War lasted no more than 24 hours, and the devastation and adverse consequences can be described in a few words.

···

Twenty-four hours sounds like a very short time, and the distance between some people in the Celestial Empire who went to work in other places and their hometowns is more than 24 hours by high-speed train.

However, what can be called the third world war is far from being comparable in its tragedy and serious consequences to the previous two world wars, or the damage and losses caused by the first two world wars combined are not enough.

More than 1.5 billion people have died, many animals and plants have become extinct, more than one-sixth of the land has been unable to live for ordinary humans, animals and plants for half a century, and the earth's weather has become capricious since then, with frequent volcanic eruptions, earthquakes and tsunamis.

The earthquake and tsunami have rendered coastal areas uninhabitable, ports abandoned, and even some island nations in the sea disappear altogether. The eruption of the volcano fills the sky with volcanic ash, and when the wind blows, it sweeps through every corner of the world, and the sky is always gray.

If you look at it from outer space, the Earth at this time is not blue, but grayish-white. Starlight, the night sky, the moon, and the sun, which were originally visible from the earth, have also become gifts from nature.

After the Third World War, the Celestial Empire and the victorious countries such as Polar Bear and Britain divided the defeated countries led by the Amei Youkan Kingdom, and formulated a series of restrictive measures, which were even more cruel and harsh than the treatment of the Dongying Kingdom after World War II.

As the main force in the victorious country, the Celestial Empire naturally gained the greatest harvest, and obtained more than 70 percent of the military, civil, aerospace and other resources of the defeated country headed by Ah Mei, and since then science and technology have advanced by leaps and bounds, and it has become the world's largest country, and the descendants of Yan and Huang have finally stood at the top of the world's nations.

The so-called how much you gain is how much you pay, in this war the Celestial Empire can also be said to have suffered heavy losses, the loss of nearly one-tenth of the land area, light and heavy industry, industrial base and Kyoto in the first moment of the war were all hit by the key blows of the country, and the coastal areas because of the tsunami after the loss is far more than the loss caused by the nuclear strike.

Although many attacks are intercepted or deflected through various defense systems, it is inevitable that some cities will inevitably become wastelands, and the unfortunate ones will not survive, and the lucky ones will survive but live a life that is worse than death.

It is indeed an exaggeration of human beings' self-proclaimed longevity of all living beings, but their own adaptability and evolution to the environment are very exaggerated.

The vast majority of humans who survived the first wave of the nuclear strike failed to withstand the subsequent radiation, and those who managed to survive were given some abilities that cannot be explained by science.

Countries also call these people differently: the Chosen One, the New Human, the Superpower, the Awakened, the Inheritor... It is Seon who knows the blessing and the curse, but most people would rather not have it.

They call themselves 'undead', and it is not easy to be in the land of a nuclear strike, as long as they are not separated from the existence of carbon-based organisms, then they will always need food and water, two basic needs to sustain life.

The center of the nuclear strike is melted into a glass by the heat, and the radiation index is so high that even the survivors who have adapted to the radiation and become alienated cannot bear it, and the rest of the world makes these survivors feel like fish in water, but as long as they are carbon-based, they cannot do without food and water.

The problem of water is not big, and it is not difficult for the survivors who do not know whether to say evolution or mutation after being exposed to radiation to dig wells, and even if the water is contaminated with radiation, it cannot poison the capable people.

Food alone can't solve the problem, everything that can be eaten in the wasteland has been looted a long time ago, everything else has expired, and no food can be preserved for ten years. Although farming is a skill that has been engraved in the bones of the people of the Celestial Empire for generations, the crops grown in the contaminated land are also strangely shaped, some twisted like monsters, and some contain highly toxic or trace toxins that make people diarrhea.

Only the weeds grow very vigorously, which is completely the same as before, the problem is that the weeds cannot be eaten.

However, after the Third World War, technology developed so rapidly that plastic ID cards and fingerprint authentication were no longer in fashion, and were replaced by a personal terminal called a neural connection system.

After the war, everyone, including newborn children, will wear it at the first moment of birth, including genomes, brain waves, fingerprints, etc., which will be recorded and uploaded to the cloud host for backup.

Cash is also not used as a means of circulation, virtual money is greatly circulated, and salaries, payments, etc., can be done by simply linking personal terminals to public FIs that do not exist everywhere.

It is very difficult for the surviving 'undead' of the demon-infested land to survive.

PS: In the parallel space of the future world, don't mind if some data is exaggerated, for example, the strategic nuclear weapons disclosed by the Celestial Empire are only 400+.
