In the vast desert, the wind swept the yellow sand and slapped on the face, scraping people's skin painfully. The sun overhead glowed with a poisonous glow, baking everything on the ground.

A man staggered alone in the desert, his shadow pulled by the sun overhead.

Lu Buping had been walking for six or seven hours, and in this endless damn desert, he still didn't see a single figure.

"Starry Night, can you teleport a reliable place next time, it's either a cockroach nest or a big desert, I'm almost roasted." Lu Buping said with chapped lips.

On the beep boy, the Q version of Starry Night wore sunglasses, lying on the beach bed drinking drinks, and said triumphantly: "Oh, this is not something that people can decide, is this how the mastermind calculates." ”

"Is the mastermind trying to play me to death, what kind of mission is this!" Looking at the starry night that was underbeaten, Lu Buping finally burst out and roared.

The beep-beep boy's taskbar is clearly marked with a line of words [Current Task: Go to Heaven on Earth]

Your sister, Lu Buping looked up to the sky and roared. After he saw this task, he confirmed it several times, and after thinking about it for a long time, he found that he couldn't figure it out at all.

To go to heaven on earth, why not shoot yourself in the head, and the task will be completed?

Lu Buping made up his mind, if he still couldn't get out of this damn desert after walking for another day and night, then before he died of thirst, he should really try to end himself.

Just as Lu Buping was dizzy, a huge wave of sand was set off in the distance.

"Damn, it can't be a sandstorm." Lu Buping prayed in his heart.

However, it backfired, and the sand waves swept overwhelmingly, and even Lu Buping's physical fitness was fragile in the face of this natural disaster.

Seeing that his body was unstable and about to be blown away by the wind and sand, Lu Buping hurriedly found a boulder as a cover, and quickly dug a big pit and lay down in it.

The wind swept through countless clouds of sand and dust in one direction, as if it wanted to destroy all obstacles in its path. At this moment, time and space seem to stand still, and the carbon dioxide in the air seems to be stripped away by a sandstorm, making it impossible to breathe.

It is at this moment that you realize how vulnerable human beings are when it comes to confronting the power of nature.

Time passed little by little, and the sand pit where Lu Buping was was gradually filled, and the sound of the wind was still howling above his head.

Finally, the wind gradually weakened, and when he was about to suffocate and fall unconscious, Lu Buping used all his strength to crawl out of the sand pit.

At this moment, his whole body is covered with yellow sand, and the whole person is like a clay sculpture, and the slightest movement will drop dirt and slag all over his body.

Lu Buping wanted to cry without tears, thinking that he was mixed up in the last world. But now he almost buried himself alive, and this strong sense of contrast made him feel very powerless.

Dusting off the dust on his body, Lu Buping continued to move forward. But who knew that not long after leaving, another gust of wind and sand hit from a distance.

"Isn't it, still coming?"

But this time it wasn't a sandstorm. Accompanied by the wind and sand, there was the roar of cars.

Someone! Lu Buping's spirit was lifted.

At this time, he didn't care whether the other party was friend or foe, so he quickened his pace and rushed up to stop the other party.

It was a modified desert buggy with four people on it, three men and one woman.

Everyone saw Lu Buping, who stopped the car, instinctively became vigilant, and the man in the co-pilot took out a pistol from the car and pointed it at Lu Buping and said, "Don't move, I'll shoot if you take another step forward!" ”

Lu Buping raised his hands to show that he had no malicious intent.

"Boy, what are you, a man-eating ghost? Mechanical Gang? Hurry up and speak, or my bullets won't recognize anyone. The man threatened.

Lu Buping has a big head, what kind of cannibal ghost mechanical gang, it sounds like a force here. But I don't know anything, and I can't answer at all.

Why don't you just take a few of them down and ask them again? Lu Buping thought in his heart.

Seeing that Lu Buping didn't answer, several people in the car gave each other a look.

The co-pilot's man walked out of the car door, approaching the landing step by step, and the muzzle of the gun was always pointed in his direction.

"Open your mouth." The man said.

Lu Buping frowned and opened his mouth slightly.

The man looked at it carefully, then nodded, and said, "Roll up your sleeves and I'll take a look." ”

Lu Buping didn't understand the other party's intentions, but his hidden blade was still on his arm, so he naturally wouldn't easily let the other party see it, so he shook his head.

Seeing that Lu Buping was unwilling, the man's expression became extremely nervous, and the gun in his hand was held tighter.

At this time, Lu Buping's eyes were quick and he punched the man in the abdomen. Taking advantage of the other party's pain and bowing down, Lu Buping reached out and grabbed the other party's neck and tightened it hard. At the same time, with the other hand, the Hidden Blade was unsheathed against the man's face, and the pistol that fell to the ground was trampled underfoot.

"Stop!" "Let him go!" The three people in the car got out of the car and shouted, and walked down with bats and daggers.

Lu Buping saw that several people did not hold guns, thinking that the pistol under his feet was the only hot weapon of their team, so it seemed that the threat of the other party was very low.

So Lu Buping smiled and said, "I don't have any malicious intentions, I just want to ask you some questions." ”

"Okay, you let the people go first." The woman of the three spoke.

"Okay." Lu Buping's palm was released, and the man squatted on the ground after breaking free, coughing desperately with his hand over his throat.

The three tried to come forward, but were stopped by the squatting man.

"Ahem, I'm fine." The man waved his hand at his teammates and said, "Ahem, I just saw it." This guy isn't a mechanical bastard, the weapon on his arm is a device. ”

What Lu Buping didn't expect was that just after the man finished speaking. The few people who were still hostile just now became relaxed, and Lu Buping's eyes were not so vigilant.

"What are you talking about eating people or something?" Lu Buping asked.

The woman stepped forward to help her teammate, looked at Lu Buping with some surprise, and then said: "I don't even know this, where did you come from, you can't be wandering alone for four years, right?" ”

Four years?

When Lu Buping heard this word, he felt as if he had been hit hard, and froze in place. Four years ago was the beginning of the ravages of the Old Gods, and it could be that this world has something to do with the Old Gods.

"Well, you just think I'm wandering on my own. Can you tell me what's going on? Lu Buping said.

Everyone got into the SUV and introduced each other.

The co-pilot's man's name is Reed, and he is the squad leader of this team. The woman's name is Sutir, and she is in a relationship with Reed. The driver who drove the car was called Old Sam, and he was also the oldest member of the group. The last one is Trito, a boy who just turned 18 this year.

They all belong to the same group: the Survivors.

Suthir saw that Lu Buping really had no concept of the current world, so in order to win over the warrior in front of her, she took all the information she knew.

Four years ago, the world was what we enjoyed in the middle of the twenty-first century.

High-rise buildings are lined up, traffic is busy, and the earth's resources are used to the maximum. People have decent jobs and good incomes, and even the poorest people receive food rations and clothing on time to meet their basic needs. Some high-tech companies have even developed intelligent robots to serve humans, as if everything is moving in a better direction.

But just one day four years ago, everything changed.

The whole world presents an apocalyptic scene for no apparent reason. Buildings that were once sturdy and towering fell apart in an instant, and more than 90 percent of all the modern technologies that people knew were shut down and struck in an instant, and then turned into a pile of debris. Most of the world's population has disappeared and evaporated out of thin air.

None of the above is the most terrifying, what really scares the remnants of humanity is the vagaries of the weather and the surface.

The weather in the world seems to be manipulated, sometimes it is very hot and sometimes it is bitterly cold. The ground beneath your feet can turn into an ocean at any moment, drowning in it.

The desert that Lu Buping had just walked through was a frozen land a week ago.

Due to the inexplicable transformation of the earth's surface, the land on which humans depend for their livelihood cannot grow food.

The remaining human beings can only survive in this ever-changing world by relying on a small amount of food left over from the Old World and crops on the surface of the New World, such as cacti and saxon trees.

Of course, if you're lucky enough to wake up and find yourself in the middle of a forest, all you have to do is gather as much food as you can. Rabbits, elk, mushrooms, wild herbs, and of course, be careful of the poisonous snakes and grizzly bears that pounce on you at any time.

However, not everyone wants to live such a precarious life, so some people have their eyes on their fellow citizens.

As if it were the punishment of the world, all those who have eaten human flesh will mutate after a period of time. Their teeth have become sharp and charred, their palms have degenerated into sharp claws, and their whole person has become like a beast, with only low intelligence. They are greedy for human flesh and cannot extricate themselves, and attack their former compatriots in groups, and are known as cannibals.

And not long ago, legend has it that a new city [Oasis] appeared in the far north.

Legend has it that it is warm and picturesque, with no moody weather and unpredictable landscapes, and those who live there are well fed and clothed.

The news spurred countless survivors to go.

However, when they reappeared, they were all half-human, half-mechanical lifeforms. They have no emotion or desire, and keep grabbing survivors to go to the oasis. The new survivors have likewise become half-human, half-machine. These people are known as the Mechists.

When the team first met with Lu Buping, it was to confirm whether he was a member of the above two groups.

"I see." Lu Buping nodded after hearing Sutil's story.

This world is much weirder than Lu Buping imagined, because it has no rules.
