The sky was gray, the floating clouds were also black, and the whole sky was gloomy as if it was about to fall, which made people feel gloomy when they saw it.

No. 11258 lay on the grass on the mountain behind the college, in a daze. Until someone woke her up: "11258, you are lazy here again, go back with me." ”

"It's you, 11388."

"Nonsense, don't you look at what time it is, I've really been in the same dormitory with you for eight lifetimes, if it weren't for the fear of punishment, the ghost would want to come to you." 11388 wrinkled his flat nose and pulled 11258 up from the ground.

"Yes. It's going to rain, let's go. 11258 looked at the little chubby dun in front of him, and walked obediently down the mountain.

"In a week we'll be eighteen years old, 11258 Do you think we'll be able to unlock our talents before then?"

11258 is silent, who can know about this kind of one-in-a-million thing? She wanted to comfort 11388, but unfortunately countless cases in the past told her that if she was over 15 years old but had not yet discovered her cultivation talent, it meant that the possibility of having a talent was very small, and the possibility of being discovered was almost zero. The last time someone was discovered before they turned eighteen was more than 100 years ago.

"11258, if you say that we have no talent in the end, are we going to be sent to the outer city, and from then on we will live an ordinary and bleak life?" 11388 said, tears already dripping down.

"Don't think about it, who knows what the outcome will be in the end?" Rubbing 11388's unkempt short hair, 11258 didn't know the bottom of his heart.

It's the year 487 of the ephemeris, nearly 500 years after that terrifying age known as the "Dark Age." According to historical records, human beings on the earth were once at the top of the food chain, and under the impetus of science and technology, human beings have always been ahead of the development of all species, and have countless lives in their hands. However, the good fortune of mankind did not last forever. From one day onwards, the temperature of the heavens and the earth changed abruptly, sometimes it was unstoppable, the rivers dried up, and the earth turned into scorched earth. From time to time, heavy snow falls, and the cold is unstoppable, and countless lives are lost in that ice and snow.

I thought it was just an anomaly in the weather, but I never thought that a bigger disaster would follow. Countless plants and animals begin to mutate under a new generation of energy: hard, corrosive, vigorous, or devouring other life, all of them aggressive. It turns out that a small grass that can be seen everywhere on the ground can pierce the soles of the feet of people who trample on it in the blink of an eye, and the large plants have the ability to prey on humans. The evolution of animals is even more terrifying, and things that were previously seen in mythological novels and online games, such as fire-breathing, spitting water, and earth thorns, are manifested in them.

Over time, more and more plants and animals have evolved, resulting in more and more powerful species. Until thermal weapons can no longer deal with this mutated plant and animal, humans have to repeatedly reduce their range of activities to protect themselves.

Fortunately, God still left a little hope for mankind, and there were also supernatural people in the human race. Although the number of Anomalies is far from being comparable to the Mutant Special. However, what humans are best at is thinking, and with the continuous efforts of human beings themselves, the abilities of human supernatural beings have improved much faster than mutant species.

Under the leadership of many supernatural beings, humanity eventually created eight giant bases and countless small and medium-sized bases for humans to recuperate. Since then, humans have created a new calendar, which is called the ephemeris.

For hundreds of years, human beings have never stopped developing. In the 26th year of the ephemeris, human beings already have a complete set of methods for the cultivation and improvement of supernatural abilities, and a number of colleges and universities have been opened for supernatural beings to study. In the 44th year of the ephemeris, mankind discovered the mystery of the generation of supernatural powers. People under the age of 18 live in the extreme environment for a long time, and after taking a certain amount of energy chips, they can greatly improve their environmental adaptability and perception, and can feel the energy elements between heaven and earth more deeply.

In the same year, new measures were developed at each base. All newborns in the base are to be cultivated by the base until they reach the age of eighteen and fail to develop their abilities. The parents of the children can also receive a large amount of resource subsidies at the base, which has greatly increased the motivation of ordinary civilians to actively create people, and the vast majority of families have improved their living environment in this way.

11258 and 11388 are some of the countless children who have been handed over to the base by their parents. None of them have names, and are only numbered according to the order in which they were adopted by the base. Unless they can activate the cultivation ability, they will not have a name or family for the rest of their lives. No one will check where their parents are for some ordinary people who are destined to be ordinary.

Even if they are told the address, their parents will not recognize them. Because they are the future eliminators of the base, they are going to be driven out of the city, and they can only be mixed with food and clothing after a day of hard work. As they recognise them, their parents will have to pay a large amount of security deposit and cover their living expenses in the inner city. Unless, unless, one of their parents or one of them is an admirable supernatural being. Then even if they fail, they will be sent to the inner city to be an ordinary civilian and live a stable life.

So, for 11258 and 11388. Failure means a lifetime of darkness. The base has spent countless resources to train them for eighteen years, and if they can't succeed, they will use their long life to repay the investment they once made, and use their lives to support future newborns.

As soon as the morning dawned, a large number of people had gathered in front of the base treehouse, and the long queue was very lively.

"I heard that 26717 had already opened his talent the day before yesterday and became an earth elemental ability."

"Really? It's good luck. Did you know that 28877, who just became a summoner last month, is in the same dormitory as him? ”

"It's really a stroke of luck that there are two strangers in one dormitory. Do you know which of their dormitories, or we can check it out later, and get lucky. ”

"Uh-huh, I'm going too."

The snarling of some of the group, and the silence of others, were in stark contrast. Most of those who are still laughing are numbered 2 or 3 or later, and they are still young, at most thirteen or fourteen years old. There is still a long way to go before the age of fifteen, let alone the ultimate age of eighteen. There is another genius who is not yet fifteen years old.

11258 gritted his teeth and said that it would be a lie not to be jealous. No one wants to be a pariah, no one wants to live without a name. Her eyes were glued to the treehouse in front of her, and she was going to make another game no matter what, even if it was worse than death!
