The clock is a little bit forward by six hours. After a long journey of 60,000 light-years, the first wave of X-gamma rays swooped down on the star system earlier, and ten minutes later, the rush came and slammed into the planet's atmosphere.

Almost at the same time, in the west of the night sky of Haiguo, a brilliant aurora erupted in the sky above the morning and dusk line of the lost sea.

X-gamma is a very powerful particle ray, and almost a single gamma particle can neutralize at least three or more ozone particles. The ozone layer was rapidly decomposed in a very short period of time. Most of it was consumed by the ozone layer, and the remaining X gamma silently descended on the ground. Relentlessly penetrate all species that are still in the range of the sun.

The western plateau region, Naple, is remote and has almost no sources, the only thing that has been on the TV news has been reminding everyone to take care of the recent intense sun activity and UV protection. And people in those big cities are quietly handing out X-adg anti-radiation agents. Preparing all the supplies, people looked up at the huge chimneys that stood in the center of the city, they were bigger than any chimney anyone had ever seen, towering into the sky, and were spewing out thick puffs of black smoke, billowing and spreading, obscuring everything in the sky.

Su Xiaoyu, who was falling into grief, seemed to find that Zeng Zhengdong's body suddenly shook, and something seemed to be moving in Zeng Zhengdong's chest. Hurriedly opened the collar, Su Xiaoyu was stunned. Ba Zhuo was also stunned, he saw that the huge Bodhi he gave to Zeng Zhengdong was twitching out of its roots at this time, and it was growing rapidly, piercing Zeng Zhengdong's coat, almost before Su Xiaoyu could react, wrapping Zeng Zhengdong and Su Xiaoyu's arms.

Su Xiaoyu saw that Zeng Zhengdong was entangled, and refused to let go, his hands were torn desperately, and Ba Zhuo also joined in, but at the beginning, the roots were still torn and broken, and gradually became tough, and gradually began to entangle all three, Ba Zhuo was fortunately far away, and hurriedly withdrew his hand and withdrew. But in just a moment, the roots of the tree that danced like a strange snake entangled Su Xiaoyu and Zeng Zhengdong into two big cocoons. Bazhuo rushed up and bit it, but it was far from useless, and the roots grew more and more resilient as time passed. Bazhuo was breathing heavily, and sat on the ground in a panic.

The roots entwined the two men, forced Mu Bazhuo away, took root in the valley, and sprouted rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and began to grow. Bazhuo watched everything happen, crying out the names of the two men. Then he suddenly realized something, howled, rushed out of the valley, returned to the town, drew a firewood knife, and tossed back to the valley.

Bazhuo tossed back and forth, panting and returning to the valley in the middle of the night. I thought that at this time, his father and mother would go around looking for him. But he didn't care so much about saving people, and Bazhuo entered the valley, which by this time had changed its appearance, and a huge young tree was waving in the moonlight. The knotted roots are rooted in the ground, and even because they grow too fast, some of the roots have lifted up the soil, smashing the ground and leaving the roots exposed.

The first wave of X-gamma torrents swept through every inch of the galaxy, temporarily far away, and the huge linden tree seemed to run out of energy. The huge young tree has stopped growing visibly and now quietly rises and falls with the mountain wind. After half a day's work, this tree is already the largest tree in this valley.

Bazhuo picked up the wood knife, clenched his teeth, and slashed one by one, and there was a root cocoon stuck at the edge of the root system. He just wanted to get it out. Lost the roots of madness, coiled so quietly. As Bazhuo slashed and chopped crisp wood chips, a large amount of juice oozed from the roots, and the fishy smell came to the nose and was strange and resembled human blood.

After chopping in the middle of the night, the skin of Bazhuo's palms was worn off, oozing blood, but he was undecided, he didn't know what was wrong with him, on weekdays, the temple presided over funeral ceremonies, and he also followed the dojo to help, although he was sad at that time, but he was indeed not as crazy as today. It was as if his faith was cracking, pieces of peace and numbness were peeling off like eggshells, and the truth of his heart was being exposed under the dark and bleak night sky.

Until dawn, the cocoon was broken layer by layer, and Ba Zhuo pulled and pulled out Su Xiaoyu inside, and in the blink of an eye, where was Zeng Zhengdong's shadow inside. Seeing that Su Xiaoyu was pierced by the roots, he was miserable as Ling Chi. Covered in blood. Ba Zhuo almost cried while dragging Su Xiaoyu aside. The original pond in the valley has been completely filled, and there is no water source to be found. Ba Zhuo had no choice but to grit his teeth, cut the roots of the tree, picked a piece of fresh infusion to receive the sap, and drank a few large sips of it, except for a little bitterness and fishy smell, it seemed that there was no big problem. So he took it and fed it to Su Xiaoyu.

After more than half an hour, Su Xiaoyu woke up slowly, and as soon as he moved, a dense stinging pain came from his body, which turned out to be the root of a tree rooted in his body. Su Xiaoyu tried to pull it out, only to feel that it was like growing in the flesh, painful. Badro scrambled to explain to her. This time Su Xiaoyu was also in chaos, in the life of the Blackwater Camp, no matter how desperate the situation was, he had encountered it. But this time it was too weird, a seed ate Zeng Zhengdong's corpse. And Ba Zhuo was even more panicked, this seed was given to Zeng Zhengdong by him, doesn't this mean that he almost killed two people?

After struggling all night, Su Xiaoyu finally used a scalpel to cut the roots on her body flat, and the roots left in the muscles she cut a wound herself, and it was already grown with the muscles, but fortunately, there was no more serious problem, just the breakage of the skin, and the pain was taken for granted.

Su Xiaoyu was in a hurry for Zeng Zhengdong, and he didn't care about cleaning up the stumps on his body further, the two of them began to cut down the roots again, Zeng Tianqi's body was not far from Su Xiaoyu's cocoon, Ba Zhuo used his firewood knife, Su Xiaoyu used the bone saw used for surgery, and worked hard for a long time, and finally found Zeng Zhengdong's cocoon that was entangled by the roots. Just as he was about to pull Zeng Zhengdong out, Su Xiaoyu suddenly seemed to feel something, and suddenly kept pulling open the roots like crazy。。。。。。 With tears in his eyes, he became more and more excited.

Because, she heard a slow heartbeat, and at first she thought it was her own delusion, but. As the cocoon was peeled off, the more and more clear heartbeat sounded like a drum - knock, knock, knock~, finally, boom, when Zeng Zhengdong was peeled out, his whole body was like Su Xiaoyu, and his skin was covered with tiny branches and roots. Touching these branches and roots, Su Xiaoyu was even surprised to feel that Zeng Zhengdong's heartbeat was rising and falling rhythmically, like blood vessels. Su Xiaoyu didn't know what the situation was, so he didn't dare to be careless, so he carefully cut off the surroundings of Zeng Zhengdong along with these tree roots, one by one, and when these roots were cut off, they were still flowing with sap like plasma without red blood cells, and then slowly dried up.

Su Xiaoyu dragged Zeng Zhengdong out of the tree hole, but fortunately, at this time, the big tree stopped growing, and the tree that the Bodhi seed grew into is not too big now. Otherwise, I am afraid that Zeng Zhengdong, even if he is alive, will be trapped under the roots of the tree.

Su Xiaoyu carefully re-examined Zeng Zhengdong's body. She was pleasantly surprised. Zeng Zhengdong's heart had already recovered, and listening to the heavy and powerful heartbeat, Su Xiaoyu almost screamed in surprise. Then he began to check Zeng Zhengdong's other conditions, and the roots of the tree, like her, fused with tissues and organs. Even the hideous scars on Zeng Zhengdong's body due to surgery seem to be disappearing very slowly... Heal...

Although Zeng Zhengdong has not woken up yet, his breathing and heartbeat are very stable, and it seems that it is only a matter of time before he wakes up. Back in town, find a way to contact the others, find medical conditions for Zeng Zhengdong to do another thorough examination. Su Xiaoyu thought like this, there was nothing more exciting news than Zeng Zhengdong's desperate death. Thinking of this, she hurriedly took out a phone from her pocket and wanted to tell the others in Blackwater as soon as possible, but unfortunately, the phone could not be turned on.

Ba Zhuo saw Su Xiaoyu smile, and his heart became happy. I thought to myself, I finally didn't make an irreparable mistake, and everyone was fine.

However, just when they were just breathing a sigh of relief, Su Xiaoyu suddenly realized something, and looked up at the sky, the pale green aurora was like crisscrossing scars that cut the sky apart.

At this time, the linden tree next to it was windless and automatic, like a child waking up, stretched out and began to grow rapidly. A second wave of X gamma has arrived, and this time, without the obstruction of the ozone layer, a massive amount of X gamma has descended on the ground more violently than the last time.

Due to the huge size, although the Bodhi tree is still growing at a speed visible to the naked eye, it is much smaller than before, and more roots begin to emerge on the ground, and the crown of the tree begins to expand rapidly.

At this time, Su Xiaoyu noticed that the other plants in the valley were also undergoing tremendous changes. The surrounding plants quickly withered and withered. At the beginning of the period, Su Xiaoyu thought it was a ghost caused by the big tree, but she was surprised to find that the turf under the cover of the big tree had not changed much. Su Xiaoyu seemed to realize something, and hurriedly took out the radiation detector in his luggage. Looking at the detector, she was taken aback:

"Gamma?! How can it be? ”

She hurriedly pulled Mu Bazhuo and rushed under the tree, not caring if the roots would entangle them again.

The surrounding herbaceous plants soon withered, and some of the bushes began to lose their leaves.

Then, Su Xiaoyu was surprised to find that in the roots of some of the withered plants, there seemed to be a little bit of tender shoots again, ready to move.

When the first wave of rays came, Dongguo, which had been preparing for nearly three months, began to operate, and as far as the eye could see, almost all the human settlements in the entire Dongguo were shrouded in a thick fog, and the sky was filled with a large number of inert lead clouds over the sky after several days of sowing. Blocking any light, including sunlight, the city is brightly lit. People queue up to receive official supplies such as radiation-proof coats, radiation-proof paints, and radiation-proof daily necessities. Several cities along the coast have extinguished huge reactors in preparation for possible tsunami and earthquake damage. and moving people inland.

Represented by the Central Special Administrative Region, the military has divided the core cities of the seven special administrative regions and built huge walls. For several weeks, the huge chimneys built on the ground began to emit black clouds into the sky, and the black clouds condensed and wrapped around the city like a black quilt, and from time to time there was a dull explosion on the clouds, and countless large transport planes shuttled back and forth on the clouds, throwing out a large number of high-altitude bombs, and bursting out a large area of black clouds.

Amid the angry complaints of the people, the first wave of X Gamma arrived, and the populated areas of the Eastern Nation sounded a sharp alarm. These days, in addition to the daily production activities, all the people have made a general mobilization for war, and the city passages are closed 24 hours after hearing the siren. All persons must return to their accommodation within the stipulated time.

People began to panic, and many people were selling off their suburban properties and moving their scattered properties a month or two in advance, but there was still a lot of unrest. The situation is slightly better in large cities with military headquarters, while in some border cities, even communications and electricity have been cut off. With the interruption of electricity and water, the city was turned into an iron coffin.

In high-altitude orbits, the orbital satellites that mankind is proud of, a wave of intense stellar motion caused by the first wave of X gamma, and the stellar electromagnetic pulse will burn up almost all of these sophisticated space instruments in a matter of minutes, and they will continue to operate for months without power and then fall one after another.

The unprotected facilities on the ground are also not spared. A large number of ground power facilities were burned down, and small and medium-sized substations were burned out of overload. Humanity returned to ancient societies overnight.

When the first night came, the entire eastern kingdom was pitch black, and only seven clusters of light like firefly nests still loomed in the night. Appliances that escaped the first wave of the electromagnetic pulse because they were not used were collected one after another. Humanity has not completely degenerated into the age of lights.

In just a few days, food is almost depleted, clean drinking water is gone, and people are still patient. After a few days, small and medium-sized cities began to fall into a state of disorder, and various riots began to appear. Rumored inhuman monsters wreak havoc in the city, blood flowing everywhere on the city's streets. The surviving people began to flee the small cities and scatter on the move. In a month, what was once a medium-sized city turned into a dead city, and occasionally a hellish roar could be heard.

There are many more abandoned areas like Naples. After all, two months, and the eastern country, the area of more than 20 million square kilometers is too large. In the entire eastern country, there are only 2 billion people in the area that can be obscured by inert clouds. More are scattered across the vast expanse and cannot be contained.

With the arrival of wave after wave of gamma rays, suburbs and wild areas have been designated off-limits. According to previous rounds of gamma observations, everything in the wild is now withering, and 90% of life forms cannot survive this disaster. The city has hoarded the main grain reserves of the eastern country, which are expected to be relied on for the next year to two to tide over this difficult period.

But is it really that simple? On the outskirts of the settlement, a large number of people gather from all directions every day, and the glimmer of light through the fog at night is like fireflies in the darkness, giving hope to those who have been abandoned. They gathered under the city walls every day, waited to inspect the city, and then shared supplies. Let those who were given the right to live in the new city gradually become hostile to those who came after them.

Gradually, even with the military, robberies, thefts, and other incidents began to occur in the settlements. Finally, in the first month of the arrival of X Gamma, a large-scale fight between outsiders and natives broke out in the settlement of Southtown, and more than 1,000 people died in the riot. Having learned from the painful experience, people began to call for the separation of outsiders and indigenous peoples. As a result, people began to divide the city, and on the outskirts of the original city, a lower wall was erected, and all outsiders were concentrated in the outer ring. As a result, the ring city has become a characteristic of the population gathering place in the eastern country.

In the inner ring, there are all kinds of rigorous and orderly living facilities, and the slums in the outer ring have only the most basic facilities, lack of living resources, lack of work, and most people are struggling under the line of food and clothing. In this way, taking the 'successful' case of Nancheng as a typical example, this simple and effective method was quickly spread to all regions, and all settlements invariably formed a ring city.
