Chapter 10: The End Comes
At the beginning of the day, the bright moon was in the sky, big and round, but it became red, and the moonlight shone on the earth, dyeing everything in the world red with blood.
In Western countries, due to the time difference, although the moon cannot be seen, the purple sun can be seen.
A brilliant pop slid across the sky, followed by one meteor after another, and meteor showers can be seen all over the world.
Li Shenlizard, who was hiding in the tree hole, was curious about the red moonlight outside and the meteor shower, and just wanted to stick his head out, he was swept back by Li Taibai with his tail.
"Don't go out, it's not a meteor shower, it's a disaster star!"
Li Taibai said this, looking at the sky: "Ziyang, blood moon, the end of the world is coming!"
I still remember that at this time in my last life, Li Taibai was just an ordinary student facing the college entrance examination, but because of the closure of the war-torn school, he could only pay attention to the war every day, hoping that this damn war would end as soon as possible, and he longed to enter a key university, where he could declare adulthood, be free and independent, and fall in love......
But all of this was ruined that night, and I still remember that night, with the appearance of the meteor shower, which brought super strong electronic radiation interference in the universe, all the electronic communication equipment in the world failed.
Mobile phones, televisions, networks, satellites, missile launchers, power equipment...... and so on, all electronic products can no longer be used.
Without communication equipment, electrical equipment, and calculators, most modern weapons are scrap metal, and countries have to stop the war and prepare to discuss how to deal with this strange thing.
Li Taibai, who was taking an online class and was thinking that the war was over and preparing for the college entrance examination with all his might, was lying on the windowsill, looking at the originally brightly lit community, which was pitch black at this time, only the blood moon in the sky, exuding a strange red light.
The sky began to drizzle, and the color of the rain was purple and red, like dirty blood, and it looked very seeping.
It was a scene that Li Taibai would never forget, the blood rain that seemed to come from hell fell on the guards downstairs in the community,
The guards all fell to the ground, as if poisoned, foaming at the mouth, bleeding from their orifices, and their bodies began to convulse violently.
After about ten minutes, the guard who had fallen to the ground stood up again, and the naked eye could see that the thick green tendons were like plant roots extending to the whole body.
His eyes were bloodshot, his mouth was open, his viscous yellow saliva stained his upper and lower teeth, and the sound he made was like a roar, like a wail of pain.
But no matter what, these walking dead zombies have no ability to think, no intelligence, just like a rabies dog, with its teeth and claws, to bite and eat all living creatures nearby.
Stopping to remember, Li Taibai looked at the blood-stained rain in the tree hole, he knew that after this heavy rain, the deep forest would become a world of zombie beasts.
The same is true for human society, where the rain of blood causes a large number of zombies, which have no ability to think, and only rely on instinct to attack other creatures.
Because they are not afraid of death, except for smashing their heads, they cannot be completely killed, they are super infectious, and their physical strength is three times that of before.
Ordinary people encounter it, it is difficult to escape, they are caught by the corpses, bitten to death, and eat, dragging the mutilated body to become part of the zombie army.
This blood rain is also called the 'beginning of the disaster' in the late end of the world.
Many people speculate that this blood rain is likely to be caused by a meteor shower, a special virus brought in from outer space, or a mutated virus caused by various modern weapons in war, anyway, no matter what the reason, after that day, the end of the world began.
The blood rain that lasted for two hours stopped, and Li Taibai took the little lizard and the little King Kong to swim out of the tree hole.
At this moment, there were no birds and insects chirping in the jungle, and it was completely dead silent.
When Li Shenli and Little King Kong had seen such a scene, their bodies trembled with fright.
At this moment, a wild boar with blood-red eyes and a madness, with two fangs at the corners of his mouth, rushed towards Li Taibai.
"You're the one you're waiting for!"
Li Taibai didn't make any movement in place, and as the wild boar got closer and closer, his tail swept away, and the sword of disaster directly cut the wild boar's head in half.
A baby the size of a fist, oval in shape, and blood-red beads in color.
"Luckily, the first zombie beast has the Yuan Stone in its head, if you don't have these things, it can't be considered a Yuan Stone, remember that at the beginning of the end of the world, it was called the 'Core of Hope'. ”
Li Taibai bit the bead and swallowed the bead into his stomach.
You can see the red light released from Li Taibai's scales, and in a few seconds, Li Taibai opened his eyes.
"Before the end of the world, I had already reached the third order of the Awakened, and sure enough, I was swallowing the 'Core of Hope' and had no other effect except for increasing some cultivation. ”
When the end of the last life came, people who hid at home and waited for rescue turned on the faucets, and the water that flowed out was stinking, reddish water.
If you drink this water, you will also be infected with the virus and will not be able to drink it.
I can only rely on the water stored before, but the water storage at home is limited, and people dare not go out, and even start to drink the water in the fish tank and toilet tank.
People who ran out of ammunition and food went out of their homes in search of food and water, and most of them died in the mouths of zombies.
And many more people are dying at the hands of people who are not infected with the virus.
In the last days, there are no rules, no laws.
In the face of death and survival, the darkest, ugly, and selfish side of human nature is exposed, and in order to compete for food and water, people fight with each other, and killings and goods happen repeatedly.
It wasn't until two months after the end of the world that anyone discovered that in the heads of these zombies, there was a red bead that could stimulate the potential of a certain attribute of human beings.
The overall strength of human beings has increased significantly, and they have the ability to compete with zombies, because this blood bead brings hope to human beings to live, so it is called the 'core of hope'.
Of course, all communication in the last days was blocked, and two months was only the earliest discovery, just like the community where Li Taibai was back then, and it was only because a master came to look for food that he was told of the existence of the 'Core of Hope'.
As for how this 'core of hope' came to be, people in the latter end of the ages have no way of knowing.
I only know that this kind of blood beads that exist in the minds of zombies have the function of stimulating certain attributes of living beings.
After thinking for a while, Li Taibai came back to his senses and found that Li Shenli and Little King Kong were two beasts, and looked at him in confusion, not knowing what happened to Li Taibai.
"This thing is called Yuanshi, and it is currently called the 'Core of Hope', which can awaken the innate attributes of demon beasts and humans, which is why I didn't teach you the exercises to cultivate, because I don't know what your attribute talent is, and I will give it to you when I encounter the 'Core of Hope' later." ”
After Li Taibai finished speaking, he left with the two beasts, this time he did not absorb the blood of the wild boar, because the wild boar has become a zombie, and all its blood and qi are in the 'core of hope', so the corpse of the zombie has no use except for the 'core of hope'.
Li Taibai took the two beasts and quickly walked towards the swamp where he had left before.
At this time, in the swamp, many animals were frightened and ran around, chasing all kinds of zombie beasts behind.
Li Taibai, whose tail is wrapped around the 'Sword of Calamity', kills the beast when he sees it, whether it is a zombie beast or a beast that has not become, there is nothing left behind.
In the process, Li Shenli began to learn to rummage through the heads of these zombie beasts to find the 'Core of Hope' and hand it to Li Taibai.
Wandering to the clearing, a few corpse blood plants have matured after the baptism of the last days, exuding a strong smell of blood and rancidity.
Li Taibai asked Xiao King Kong to uproot these corpse blood plants and put the rhizomes into the heads of the smashed zombie beasts.
The root system seems to be alive, constantly wriggling, burrowing into the blood vessels.
As the corpse blood grass takes root, the zombie beast's body can be seen rapidly shriveling at a speed visible to the naked eye, and finally becomes a dregs that will shatter when touched.
