Ling Ping'an happily dotted the red envelope developed.

The first 888, the second 2688!

Sure enough, it's oversized!

Awesome!

So, he immediately typed and touted: "Auntie Wencheng is a martial artist, dominates the world, bird raw fish soup!" ”

"Just your poor mouth!" The other party quickly typed over: "I won't talk to you, I'm going to wash incense!" ”

"Weichen sends Niangniang!" Ling Ping'an typed again, while sending an incense-burning emoji.

Then, holding his phone, he couldn't help but whistle as he looked at the balance that had just been credited.

"In the next two months, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief!" The young bookstore owner let out a soft breath.

You know, although he can receive a large amount of grants and allowances from the Ministry of Finance on time every month.

But there is still pressure on spending.

Not to mention anything else, the monthly utility bill and other miscellaneous expenses add up to two or three thousand yuan!

Firewood, rice, oil and salt, although because I order takeout every day, there is no need to spend.

But three meals a day add up, and it usually costs almost 80 yuan!

That's another two or three thousand!

What's more, he himself has no concept of money.

He has always spent money lavishly and did whatever he wanted.

Unplanned and unnecessary expenses can cost thousands every month!

But......

The young bookstore owner never paid attention to these things.

The daughter is scattered and comes back, and the Ming Dynasty spreads the flat boat, which is his motto!

As for the annoyance?

Inexistent!

As a natural optimist, he has never been heartless and never worried about tomorrow.

"Tomorrow morning, I'm going to drink an extra bowl of tofu brain!" He said seriously.

Meow!

The kitten Best barked softly, as if she wanted to ask for an extra meal!

"Hmm......" Ling Ping'an looked at it, "That's right...... The little boy should also add food! ”

Meow!

The little one was so happy that he jumped into his master's arms and rubbed it affectionately.

………………………………

Walk in the windy and dusty wilderness.

Ran Bing walked firmly.

The wind could not shake her steps, and the dust could not obscure her eyes.

On the surface of her body, there was even a faint layer of aura.

This aura forms a protective shield that keeps the sand and dust out.

She kept moving forward, tracing the marks on the ground.

Paw prints, in the dust, spread into the distance to a bare ruin of a ship.

It was a former ship.

Starships made in the Old World!

But when the old world collapsed, these behemoths that once traveled through the atmosphere crashed down.

Ran Bing heard that almost all the starships of the entire old world crashed.

These ultimate creations of mankind are vulnerable in the face of disaster!

Ran Bing looked at the wreckage of the starship in front of him, the huge hull hundreds of meters long, planted on the ground.

It was smashed into several pieces!

Even so, its appearance remains intact.

The hull is cast in a special alloy, and most of it is still intact.

She walked over, stepped closer, and looked up to see the stucco lettering on the hull: Challenger!

Even after all this time, these letters printed on the hull of the ship with laser are still clearly visible.

"Challenger?" Ran Bing licked his tongue: "That once famous starship?" ”

Even today, the name of the Challenger starship is still well known.

As the most famous starship of the Old World, this legendary starship, it was once pinned on high hopes!

Because of this, the Old World chose it as an experimental ship to travel to Proxima Centauri!

It's a pity that before the experiment has even begun, the preparations are still ongoing, and the old world collapses.

It seems that this is the final home of this once legendary starship.

However, Ran Bing doesn't care about this.

She looked to the side of the starship's wreckage.

There, there was an open door.

Many footprints are lost there.

"So......" Ran Bing thought, "This legendary starship ended up being the lair of the Crimson Beast?" ”

She shrugged, took the revolver in her hand, and walked over.

As she approached the ship's door, she found a body that had been air-dried in the dust of the doorway.

"Dry corpse?" Ran Bing frowned.

As we all know, the dead after the collapse of the old world will be petrified.

Dried corpses or other forms of corpses are rarely found.

So......

She crouched down, brushed away the dust that had covered the corpse, and saw the corpse's outfit.

It's a male, dressed in an old-world space uniform.

There is a star on his shoulder.

One two three four......

Ran Bing counted, there were four in total!

Four-star general?!

A four-star admiral of the Old World?

That's a great guy!

Ran Bing brushed away all the dust that covered him, and finally, found a notebook in his hand that he was holding firmly.

Ran Bing gently picked up the note.

The notes have been eroded by wind, sand and rain, and most of their contents are illegible.

However, on the prologue page, there is a line of text written side by side in multiple languages, which is particularly eye-catching.

"We are just ignorant people living in the dark fog of the universe, and we should not have sailed far from the beginning!"

Ran Bing looked at this line of text that was also specially written in his native language.

Her brow tightened.

Her intuition told her that this line of text was the four-star admiral of the old world, who risked his death after the disaster and ran out of the hull, wanting to leave a clue for future generations!

Looking at this line of text, Ran Bing remembered the strange man in the mist.

"The old world is because it tries to sail away......"

"That's why it collapsed?"

She asked, but there was no murmur in her ears.

Obviously, that book won't tell her the answer.

She continued to flip through her notebook, and eventually she found a clear line of text again on the last page.

Ran Bing struggled to identify and spell out the words written in letters.

Fortunately, she has a linguistic education and has studied several scripts in the Old World, so she can read the meaning of these letters.

"I was told that the universe is a dark and dangerous ocean!"

"Every civilization that exists in this ocean is a terrible predator!"

"That's why the starry sky we see in the universe is so quiet......"

"Because all men are hunters, and all men are prey!"

"In this ocean, any civilization that reveals its existence will definitely be targeted by other civilizations!"

"Therefore, even those high-level civilizations dare not reveal their existence!"

"Not only because there are other hunters in this ocean, but also because there are fishermen like humans on this ocean!"

"The big fish that exposes itself will definitely be put on the fisherman's table!"

"And weak civilizations, such as the ignorant fish and shrimp in the ocean......"

"A big fish passing by it, even if it is full, will knock it out with its tail and drown it in the ocean!"

So, I asked him: What about humans?

He smiled and told me: Humans? Have you ever heard of krill? ”

The words that follow are no longer legible.

It wasn't until after turning several pages that Ran Bing found a repeating sentence on a broken page of paper: What he said was right!

He was right!!

He was right!!!!

Closing the note, Ran Bing stood up.

"So...... This notebook is a transcript of a conversation between this four-star general and someone? ”

"But ......" Ran Bing looked at the wreckage of the starship in front of him: "Who is the interlocutor?" ”

She thought about the description in her notebook, combined with her own experience.

Ran Bing knew that the interlocutor might know the truth about the collapse of the old world!

Ran Bing remembered the hazy picture he had foreseen in that bookstore.

Huge tentacles, reaching out from beneath the earth and the ocean.

The earth trembles, the sky shakes, and the end comes!

She let out a soft breath and walked to the starship door in front of her.

She has a hunch!

Inside this starship, there must be more clues!

……………………………………

It's eleven o'clock!

Tonight, there were still no guests.

But Ling Ping'an happily pulled down the roller shutter.

Then he put the kitten Bester on a towel.

"Good night!" Picking up the phone, Ling Ping'an said to the little guy.

Then, he turned off the light, hummed a little tune, and walked slowly upstairs.

The stairs creaked, and gradually the sound died down.

Best lay on the towel and rubbed the edge of the glass door beside her affectionately.

Then, it screamed softly.

Meow!

A small flame fell from the ceiling.

The blue light of the fire flickered.

The kitten looked at the little flame and slowly turned into a fair girl.

Her long black hair wrapped around her plump and delicate body.

Faintly, the carcass like mutton fat and white jade is as bright as a treasure.

"The master agreed!" She said to Little Flame, "Add dinner today!" ”

The little flames danced happily.

He can't wait.

The host promised to add food!

That's great!

A green young leaf quietly appeared.

The soft vines, gently surrounding the small flame, conveyed its longing - hunger! Get a piece of the pie!

The girl's brows frowned slightly, as if she was a little annoyed, but she had to agree: "Bring a copy back for it!" ”

The small flame flickered and reluctantly agreed.

In the next second, the dark bookstore returned to normal.

A kitten, lying on a towel at the door.

At the corners of its mouth, unassuming tears were lingering.

It's waiting, looking forward to, tonight's snack!

……………………………………

On the 489th Abyss Plane, the demons of the Valley of Poison walked in this plane as usual, with the rustling and breathing of the abyssal worms underground.

This is an abyssal plane with no owner.

Because its original lord, the Firedemon Tarnheim, had been missing for many years.

But there is no sign that He has fallen.

And this place is too remote and barren.

Other lords who have the ability to occupy this place are unwilling to come, and there is no absolute certainty that they will come (in the abyss, once a certain lord begins to carry out military conquest, then his sworn enemies will definitely take action and do everything possible to stop him, in addition to bloody battles, the nature of demons is infighting!) ）

Thus, this abyss became a paradise for the men of Tarnheim.

They each occupy an area and attack each other under the banner of Tarnheim.

Many other careerists in the abyssal plane have also come to join the civil war in the Valley of Poison.

This made this already barren plane even worse, and no demon lord could look at it more and more.

However, the demons living here are very satisfied with the current situation.

They even feel that the situation could not be better.

No one is in control, and everyone is free to choose their own way of life.

Eat when you want, kill when you want.

That's great!

However......

At a certain moment, the entire Valley of Poison seemed to sense something.

Countless demons looked up, and they saw the eternal gray sky of the Valley of Poison, as if it had been dyed red by something.

A shudder from the depths of the soul made the demons panic.

In the entire plane, the countless abyssal worms screamed frantically at this moment.

Finally, the sky is completely dyed red!

A little bit of Mars appeared on it.

Then it quickly expanded to the entire sky, and the whole world burned in this instant!

The Great Ruler of the Old Days has come!

It became the table where He ate!

All the demons of the Valley of Poison, including the Abyssal Worms, will be brought to the table by Him to be slaughtered and eaten!

…………………………

With a revolver in hand, Ran Bing walked into a shattered compartment inside the starship.

When she walked in, the interior lights of the starship, which had already crashed, suddenly all turned on.

illuminated this damaged cabin.

Dozens of people, struggling, maintain the demeanor and pace of life.

But they have been turned into stone statues.

The kind that shatters into powder when touched lightly.

At the end of the cabin, there is a command-and-control touchscreen monitor.

Ran Bing walked up to it.

This touchscreen device still seems to remain intact.

As she approached, the instrument was activated.

An electronic signal of a snowflake appears on the screen.

Zizizi...... Zizizi......

There seemed to be a faint sound coming from the screen.

"That's ...... What the? Someone is exclaiming!

"Zizizi...... Zizi Zi ......"

"What ......"

"Zizi Zi ......"

"Starship invaded...... Monster...... Zizizi...... Zizi Zi ......"

In the midst of these sounds, a vague vision flashed across the screen.

On the side of the blue planet, huge tentacles are stretching out!

It is almost the same as the scene that Ran Bing foresaw in the bookstore!

"Zizizi...... Zizi Zi ......"

"Krill ......" a voice shouted in despair in the murmur: "I shouldn't have sailed far from the beginning!" ”

"The voice of the four-star general?" Ran Bing thought.

Then, she turned away.

The revolver in his hand was raised.

Bang!

A bullet pierced through the thick hatch, knocking a large Crimson beast to the ground.

The whisper in my ears came back again.

In the murmur of the screen, he said softly in Ran Bing's ear: "There are Kunyang people here!" ”

"Where?" Ran Bing asked.

As before, she didn't get an answer.
