The silent clock on the table points to 8 o'clock.

The old era had already ushered in the morning sun at this point in time.

But the outside world of the Wasted Era was still pitch black, and it was even more terrifying after the moonlight disappeared.

This is a world without a tomorrow, and if there were no such thing as clocks, I am afraid that the survivors would have lost their sense of time long ago.

It's been two hours since 'me' changed.

Ever since the activation of the [Genetic Ecological Chain] and the initiation of ecological clearance, I have fallen into a state of panic, and my body has stiffened in place and cannot move.

I...... Am I still human?

My body recovered from the amazing twist and looked like a normal person at last.

Somehow, the wound in the abdomen had healed, and the tear and pain had gone, including a persistent high fever.

I moved my body for a moment, and I felt that my whole body was full of strength, and I don't know how many times stronger than the previous state of being weak and dying.

Raising my left hand, I stared intently at the gray-white sun, and I couldn't help but recall the previous chimes in my mind.

"Genetic ecological chains?"

I clearly remember that this sun diagram is the one I once came into contact with in a dream, and after waking up from the dream, this thing has grown in the flesh, and I can't get rid of it.

But whether it's a dream or not, I still can't be sure, because it's too real.

As I looked at the healing wound, I couldn't help but think of the monster I had encountered two days ago, and just as the monster was about to bite off my body to eat, it was attracted by other movements, which indirectly spared me.

The word Nightmare represents despair in the Wasted Era, it is synonymous with being unkillable, no matter how you decapitate it or shatter it, it only takes 3-5 minutes to resurrect on the spot, and some more powerful Nightmare Monsters have a shorter resurrection time.

But the number of nightmare monsters is not as large as that of corpses and xenomorphs, and as the king at the top of the food chain, they rarely show up now, and it is shit luck to bump into one.

Two days ago, I went out to look for survival supplies and ran into this monster head-on, which is nothing more than shit luck, if there is no accident, I am already dead.

I looked at the homemade calendar hanging on the wall, May 1, 2127.

May 1st, in the old era this day is Labor Day, there is nothing to eat in the house, it is time to go out to work and give full play to the spirit of model workers.

According to the time log of the survivors, one year has passed since the Eternal Night, and this terrible infection has caused more than ninety percent of the human beings to die, either becoming corpses or being killed. Even so, human beings cannot escape the law of mutual destruction, and the human heart is still bottomless.

And the previous year 2126 was a blank period in my memory, and no matter how much I look back, I can't recall everything about 2126.

I was in the city out of nowhere.

ZM City.

This third-tier city, which was before the disaster, is now rubble, and in the past four months, I have never met a single living person every time I go out, perhaps because my range of activities is limited, and I dare not run far in the dark.

But it is more likely that the city has completely fallen out of control, and all the living have been relocated.

Or, the whole city is dead.

After the baptism of the Waste Era, except for some former big cities, the possibility of people is relatively high, and there are only sporadic walkers or squads in the rest of the place.

According to the survivor's diary, there are a total of ninety-nine pillars that protect the world, and if all of them are activated, the world may undergo unimaginable changes.

A pillar of heaven can accommodate up to 10,000 people, and ninety-nine roots are only 990,000 people who can stay inside, which is simply a pitiful number compared to a planet with a population of nearly 10 billion.

I flipped through the journal while looking at the map hanging on the wall, this is a map of country Z from the old era, and it can still be used in the abandoned era, but most of the cities have been deserted.

According to some of the Pillars revealed in the logbook, the closest one to me was in ZZ City, which was four hundred kilometers away, and I could only get there on foot.

I frowned and said to myself: "It's so dark outside, and artificial light sources can't be used indiscriminately, so it will be troublesome if it attracts corpses and nightmares, so it seems that the chance of me being able to walk to ZZ City on foot alone is zero......"

In the past few months, I have been searching for supplies in ZM City, and I have probably figured out the situation, there is no gathering area in the city, after all, I haven't even seen a living person's shadow.

I looked at the table where only a third of the candles were burned, the only light source I had left, and only two or three matches were left to light the candles.

At that point, I was really in a situation where there was no light to use.

Although the 8 hours of moonlit nights from 10 p.m. to 6 p.m. are convenient for people to go out, they are also the most dangerous 8 hours, because all corpses will be strengthened by the moonlight, becoming more bloodthirsty and manic.

If I don't leave ZM City, what awaits me will be consumed here.

I was almost killed by the monster this time, and I was really a little scared in my heart, if there was a next time, I really didn't have the confidence to escape on a pair of legs.

I walked lightly to the back of the door, picked up a steel knife leaning against the corner of the wall, this steel knife is a bit like a Tang knife, it was found in an iron workshop, I felt easy to use, and it did make a lot of credit for me.

Pick up the backpack on the locker and gently roll up the map and put it in with the journal, along with the remaining half of the candle and matches.

As soon as the candle was blown out, the whole room fell into darkness again, and I sat motionless on the bed, holding in my hand half of a dried bun without any moisture, and biting into my mouth was like biting a stone.

The hardness almost pierced my throat.

"The water is gone, the waste era, it's really desperate."

I gently shook the military kettle in my hand, and I couldn't get a drop of water, so I had to carry it on my body helplessly.

After replenishing my energy, I walked gently to the door, and looked out along the cat's eye, only to see that it was pitch black.

The place where I live is a safe house, except for this cat's eye, the rest of the room is sealed by wooden strips and curtains, so that no light can be exposed inside.

My palms were slightly sweaty, and I was a little hesitant to open the door now, but if something happened to be waiting for me at the door, the door would be completely chaotic!

"The gene ecological chain is activated, because it is the first time it is activated, the host will be given 1 gene value, please use it properly."

The sudden sound in my head made me tremble when I was nervous.

I gently wiped the fine beads of sweat from my forehead, and for some reason, I seemed to be particularly nervous today.

Especially when I was close to this door, I always had a bad feeling.

I stared wide-eyed at the palm of my left hand, the interface that popped out of my hand to be exact.

The interface glows but is weirdly not mapped, as if only I can see it.

"Level 1 Gene Ecology Interface Unlocked."

Suddenly, the interface finally changed, and six patterns appeared on it.

They are: eyes, legs, arms, breath, nose, ears.

Gene value: 1 point.

"Host, please note that there is a basic introduction by placing your finger on the option you want to understand, but the deeper usefulness must be experienced by the host after unlocking."

"Host, please note that the first-level gene ecological interface is a basic body application, and the first activation only needs to consume 1 gene value, and the maximum number of activations is 3."

I tapped my finger to the pattern of my eyes.

"Visual Ability: Makes You See More Clearly......"

That's it? The introduction is really basic! But I still didn't even think about it, and I used my genetic values for visuals.

"Visual ability activated ......"
