What would the world look like if one day humans were no longer at the top of the food chain?

2149 AD, 5 December, Dawn Continent, 17:30. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"According to the Purple Mountain Observatory in Jinling City, there will be a rare planetary alignment phenomenon at 4:30 a.m. tomorrow, and the occurrence of the planetary alignment will not have any abnormal impact on the continent and the planet itself. Qualified viewers can make their own observations. Now for the next ......"

The LCD TV on the wall was turned off, and the originally dark room suddenly fell into silent darkness. After a long silence, a woman in a black robe slowly got up: "Calculate the time, the Ember Gate must be opened on time, and the recovery of the nine demon kings must not go wrong." Got it? ”

“yes，myqueen.“

The woman nodded when she heard this, turned around, and revealed the Q of spades printed on the back of the black robe.

The Queen of Spades, the only queen with a weapon among the four queen cards, is also the embodiment of Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom.

"Huh." The woman raised her head to look at the crescent moon in the night sky, revealing a beautiful face hidden by her black robe, "Did you see it, myking?"

2149 AD, December 6, Purple Mountain Observatory Research Room, 4:00.

This is the astronomical observation center of the whole continent, recording every achievement of human exploration of outer space, but now, the entire scientific research room is working overtime, and there is a depressed tension.

"Note that Uranus and Pluto's orbit is changing temporarily, and it is deviating from its intended orbit and its angle is shrinking." In the observatory, huge central processing units and supercomputers are running at a rapid pace, presenting a three-dimensional map of the planet's orbit in mid-air. In the figure, Uranus and Pluto, which were supposed to be in outer orbits, are deviating from their predetermined white orbits, and the red laser rays outline the orbital deviation of the two planets, and it is obvious that the angle of focus is getting smaller and smaller by comparing the chromatic aberration. Along with this trend, even Neptune is showing signs of deviating.

"What's the situation?" A dignified middle-aged man asked.

"The details are still being calculated, an hour ago Pluto suddenly deviated from its predicted orbit for unknown reasons, and half an hour ago Uranus was also derailed from its orbit under the influence of Pluto. The angle is being calculated, and it is tentatively expected to shrink by 7.8 degrees. A researcher in white overalls replied.

"Has the impact of orbital deviation been calculated?"

"It's not clear at the moment."

The middle-aged man's majestic face could not see any changes due to the news: "Send the news back to Shangjing first, and follow up and report any latest achievements immediately." ”

"I see."

The researcher replied that not long ago, this man with a Chinese character face suddenly passed the identity verification of the entire observatory with extremely high authority, and directly asked the question of the deviation of the planetary alignment, which shocked him beyond measure.

Looking at the back of the man leaving, the researcher suppressed the doubts in his heart and continued to deduce the possible changes of the planetary alignment.

The moment the man left, the tension in the entire research room was suddenly swept away.

"Senior brother, who did you say that uncle was just now?" The little sister who just came here as a scientific researcher.

The researcher glanced at her angrily, thinking that after all, he was an intern, he didn't know the rules, and he was ready to give a good education, but when he heard her second half of the sentence, he was stunned.

"Senior brother," the little girl deliberately lowered her voice, "I've heard some gossip, and it seems that the only one who can pass all the identity verification of the observatory is that special department. ”

The researcher's body was slightly stunned, and he randomly returned to normal: "Do your job well, don't think about that mess all day long." ”

The little girl was reprimanded, and began to devote herself to calculations after being bored, but she did not know that her words had already disturbed the senior brother's mind.

"Lingmen." The researcher thought to himself, and a name couldn't help but come to mind.

Shaking his head, "I'm starting to think about it too." With a self-deprecating smile, the researcher drove away the distractions in his mind and began to deduce the orbit change wholeheartedly.

Time passed, and the quartz clock on the wall silently streaked through two large grids.

Federation Shangjing, 4:20.

On the roof of a building in the CBD center of Shangjing, there is an old man on crutches, the old man's eyes are as dark as an abyss, looking at the entire prosperous Shangjing, as if there is a storm brewing in his heart.

"Door Master, King Li Tianwang has the latest news from Jinling." Behind the old man, a young man in a black trench coat spoke, stepped forward and handed over a tablet, and then turned to leave. In the cold wind of hunting on the rooftop, the windbreaker was blown up, and the dim neon light was fixed on the black windbreaker, which was embroidered with gold thread and the word "spirit" of the dragon flying phoenix dance. The word "spirit" shone with a faint golden light, which was very special in the vast darkness.

"The initial estimate is that it is the actions of the demon clan, and the target is suspected to be the Ember Gate." There was only one simple sentence on the tablet.

"It's a pity." The old man sighed, took a deep look at the prosperous scene in front of him, and a touch of regret flashed in the corner of his eye.

Dawn Continent, Shangjing Ring Expressway, 4:30.

"Lao Li." In a truck transporting livestock, a man in the co-pilot was smoking, picked up a can of inferior two-pot head and poured it, and said with emotion, "Tsk, it's really comfortable to take a sip of wine and smoke a little cigarette at this time. “

"Okay." The driver Lao Li should go down, it was the end of the year, this trip should be worth a lot of money than usual, busy for a year, a small rub is nothing.

"Drivers and friends, it is now 4:30 a.m. on December 6, 2149, and the once-in-a-millennium planetary alignment phenomenon is about to happen, and the planetary alignment is astronomical ......" I don't know what radio station it is, and a beautiful female anchor voice sounded in the small cab.

"Lao Li, it's not me who blows, I know that I am a mother-in-law who can give birth when I hear this voice." The man laughed cheaply, took a deep puff of his cigarette, and spat out a smoke ring with great enjoyment.

"You're not too young, and you haven't made a family yet." Lao Li didn't have a good airway, and said randomly, "What did the radio just say about a once-in-a-thousand encounter?" “

"It looks like some kind of planetary alignment, I'll see." As he spoke, the man rolled open the window, and the heater in the car suddenly turned into a pile of white mist outside, and the man was so frozen that he subconsciously raised his head.

As far as the eye could see, the moon, which should have been gradually setting in the east, returned to the center of the sky at some point, and the moon was sparsely stard, and the light of the moon was much brighter than usual. The man looked at the moon, raised his hand and rubbed his eyes, looked closely, and gasped.

"Lao Li, why is this moon red?"

The man shouted as he looked at the sky.

"Lao Li?"

The man looked back, his face full of astonishment.

The truck was still driving, the clutch was still being stepped on, the driver Lao Li's neck was cut through a huge cut at some point, and on the steering wheel, a bird was staring at him coldly, and the edge of the blood-red beak was still dripping with warm blood - a federal first-class protected animal, the Jinling red-crowned crane.

"Hum-hum" The mobile phone next to the seat suddenly vibrate, and the man subconsciously clicked on it.

"Where's the goods? Give Lao Tzu a high-speed export delivery around the city before five o'clock! A strong male voice came from the phone.

"Where's the goods? What the hell are you talking back to Lao Tzu! ”

…………

The scarlet blood-colored moonlight shone on the man's face that froze with a shocked expression, and the iron plate between the wheelhouse and the warehouse was easily pecked out of a huge hole by these red-crowned cranes, and with a long roar, dozens of red-crowned cranes spread their wings and flew under the light of the blood moon.

At the same time, such events are being staged all over the continent, from the countryside to the cities, and animals that were once powerless in front of humans have simultaneously launched a clarion call to charge humans.

Upper Beijing.

In the sky, from the center of the Blood Moon, a black stone door covered with ashes slowly opened, and countless mysterious auras floated and sank inside that gate. The façade is carved with obscure veins, and the black stone seems to have been burned, and there are scattered fires faintly splashing at the intersection of the veins.

"It's finally opened, Ember Gate." The old man looked at the sky and muttered faintly.

Beginning at 4:30 a.m. on December 6, 2149 AD, the Dawn Continent fell into a month-long chaos, the originally prosperous population was drastically reduced, the prosperous human civilization was wantonly destroyed, and the race called "Demon" that emerged from the stone gate led countless creatures to launch a crushing war against humanity. This bloody month is known as the "Scarlet Moon".

And this is only the beginning of the war.
