Chapter 1: Cataclysm
25th century! One day in winter, somewhere on the streets of H City.
Luo Chen carefully lay on his stomach in the pile of stiff dead people, completely ignoring the filthy blood soaking through his pants.
It's cold, and when you exhale, you can freeze.
Inside the clothes, there are some bulging cotton wool, which is precious, at least it can bring warmth and hope to people in the cold winter.
The cold wind was cold, and the cold wind blew on Luo Chen's face, and there was a tingling sensation.
For Luo Chen, he doesn't seem to care.
For him, the physical pain at least compensated for the high tension in his nerves.
Luo Chen's eyes were covered with red bloodshots.
He kept staring at the wolf hundreds of meters in front of him.
This posture has been maintained for a whole day.
Only when the wolf's attention was slightly distracted did he dare to try to blink.
Hungry and tired, such mental torture made him want to close his eyes and get a good night's sleep.
Five stiff fingers, soaked in blood.
In his hand, he held a sharp dagger to death.
This dagger, well concealed inside the corpse.
The other hand, in his pocket, slowly moved towards the only baked cake buckle in the cotton wool.
A dagger, an incomplete baked cake, but it became Luo Chen's last weapon and hope.
Just snapped a small fingernail on the pancake, and then moved slowly, taking advantage of the wolf's distraction, and stuffed it into his mouth.
Although this action was very simple, Luo Chen spent a full thirty minutes so as not to alarm the wolf.
The baked cake melts in the mouth, and is soaked in the saliva in the mouth to be a little soft.
Luo Chen resisted the desire to swallow in one gulp.
In such a harsh environment, every bite of food is precious, and swallowing it in one gulp is an almost extravagant practice.
The only piece of baked cake left in the cotton wool is Luo Chen's hope to live.
In the past, he often heard people say that the dawn is coming, and truth will eventually triumph over evil.
That sounds encouraging, but in today's environment, it doesn't apply.
He has given up all illusions and just wants to live simply.
Tomorrow, the devil knows if there will be a tomorrow.
Behind the wolf, there is a large shopping mall with the words "Parkson Shopping".
If you can enter the mall, you may be able to find enough food.
Beneath the wolf was a dead middle-aged man.
Yesterday, he had the same purpose as Luo Chen, to go to the supermarket opposite to find some food.
But pretending to be dead, he accidentally sneezed.
It was this sneeze that cost him his life.
The wolf pounced without hesitation and bit his neck, which was bitten off in one bite.
His head was gnawed off on the spot by a wolf, who was obviously hungry too, and bit open the bloody organ and ate it with relish.
From time to time, the wolf looked around, for fear that someone would compete with him for food.
When the internal organs were finished, the wolf was still not satisfied, and his thighs were quickly eaten clean.
All that was left was the bloodshot white bones and a fishy smell.
Luo Chen looked at the remaining pieces of human flesh and swallowed his saliva, his stomach was already hungry.
He thought he wasn't a match for the wolves, so he was still waiting, waiting for the best shot.
In order to survive, Luo Chen learned to be tenacious, otherwise, he would have become the prey of other animals or starved to death.
I don't know what the reason is, but after the catastrophe, some animals with peaceful personalities also began to eat people.
The docile cattle, sheep and horses no longer eat grass, but choose to prey on humans.
These animals even have intelligence that is no worse than that of humans.
And these animals are starting to become very ferocious.
They are smarter than they were before the cataclysm.
In the past, Luo Chen had seen some abnormal viruses on TV, which were said to be able to significantly alter the genetic sequence of animals.
Right...... It must be so, these animals have some kind of virus in their bodies, he said silently in his heart.
Not far away, after the wolf finished eating, it did not leave.
Luo Chen naturally hoped that this wolf would leave as soon as possible.
But...... Contrary to his wishes, the wolf showed no signs of leaving, but wandered around.
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of footsteps, and the wolf let out a low howl, quickly hiding its body.
As a predator, he was waiting, patiently waiting for the next prey.
In the field of vision, a burly man in a military coat appeared.
Armed with an AK47 assault rifle, he cautiously approached the area.
The wolf swooped in, leaving the man who had just appeared stunned.
The burly man's reaction was not inflexible.
I saw that he flashed to the side very quickly, and then pulled the trigger, holding the Ak47 is a burst of strafing.
More than 10 56mm bullets hit the wolf's body, leaving a dense hole in the wolf's body.
But in doing so, it only slowed down the pounced wolf a little.
Although the wolf has a lot of blood coming out of its body, which stains the wolf's fur bright red, this does not seem to have a substantial effect on the wolf.
The man was trying to pull the trigger, only to find that there were no more bullets.
Damn, he let out a helpless sigh.
The wolf let out a low "whoop" sound and instantly pounced on the man.
Seeing this, the man hurriedly pulled out his saber from his waist and slashed at the wolf with the saber.
His strength was so great that he slashed out, leaving blood marks on the wolf's body.
In this way, both the wolf and the man were injured.
Luo Chen wanted to tell the man that this would have no effect.
Because none of the bullets knocked the wolf down, let alone a saber.
At this time, the blood on the wolf's body had stopped dripping.
The faint wound healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Luo Chen tried to move his body, he was very careful, and the speed of his movements was very slow.
There was a slight pain in the elbow and knee.
The numbness in his body was gradually subsiding, and his nerves began to react.
As long as he is given time, most of the body's functions may also recover quickly.
It's just that he doesn't know if he can wait until that time.
The burly man, though agile, dodged several pounces from the wolf.
But the physical exertion was too great, and after a few minutes, he was out of breath.
And the wolf, as fierce as ever.
With one bite and one bite, the man's arm was bitten, and blood continued to drip down the man's clothes.
As a last resort, the man was forced into a corner by the wolf and made a defensive gesture.
His hands clenched the bloodied saber.
His body trembled slightly, and his eyes were full of fear.
His eyes were fixed on the wolf that was getting closer and closer to him.
His breathing grew heavier, and he kept swinging the saber in his hand, trying to scare the wolf off with the sharp saber.
But for wolves, there is no effect at all.
The man in the corner had already seen Luo Chen's figure standing up not far away, but now he had no time to care about it.
The wolf was so close to him that he couldn't make an effective evasive move.
I could only watch as the wolf pounced.
Subconsciously, the man could only use his hands to resist the wolf's pounce.
"Poof-" With a terrible scream, a piece of flesh on his arm had been torn apart, revealing the white bones of Sensen.
It was a trembling and wailing from the heart, a feeling of pain that made the man almost faint.
The wolf's attention was so focused on the prey that it didn't seem to notice anyone behind him.
The wolf pounced again, this time biting the man on the neck with unmistakable accuracy.
"Ahh Another heart-rending scream came out, and in this kind of cry, it was a cry in a desperate situation.
This is the reluctance to die, the thirst for life.
The man's eyes gradually lost their sparkle, and all that remained was consciousness.
Knowing that he was dying, he bit his lip and, with all his might, took the saber in his other hand and stabbed the wolf in the abdomen.
Before he died, he thought that he should always do something useful to give the survivors a glimmer of hope.
The wolf let out a howl, and the saber plunged into its abdomen.
Luo Chen's heart tightened, and the pace that was originally advancing slowly accelerated suddenly.
Almost instantly, he was rushing to the wolf's side.
There was no hesitation in Luo Chen's eyes, and the sharp dagger in his hand stabbed fiercely into the wolf's throat.
At this time, the wolf is the weakest time, taking advantage of his illness to kill him!
The fear suppressed in Luo Chen's heart was released like a rain of bullets at this moment.
The dagger that pierced the wolf's throat was quickly and decisively drawn.
Without any hesitation, Luo Chen grabbed the dagger with both hands and kept stabbing at the wolf's throat.
He was like a madman, or rather he had fallen into madness.
It's the thrill of fear and killing.
Blood splattered towards Luo Chen's face, but none of that seemed to matter.
As long as you can kill this wolf, it will be worth it.
Finally, under Luo Chen's full blow, the wolf fell to the cold ground.
Luo Chen looked at the wolf covered in blood and the pieces of minced meat on the ground, he exhaled a long breath, and the burden on his whole body seemed to be released at this moment.
The burly man died, leaving only a mangled body.
Even his face was covered with blood.
Luo Chen took out the dagger from the wolf's body, he just glanced indifferently at the man who fell in a pool of blood, and then put the dagger on the man's clothes, rubbed it, wiped the blood, and after Luo Chen hurriedly ran towards the supermarket of "Parkson Shopping".
It's not that he's cold-blooded and emotionless.
It's that what he has seen and heard these days has completely exceeded his cognition.
In the past, such scenes could only be seen in TV dramas.
After seeing it, maybe Luo Chen will sigh that all this is fake and will never happen to him.
But when you really experience it, you will understand.
There are too many such tragic situations.
From the initial apprehension, anxiety, and hesitation, to the later decisiveness, so that I forgot the joys, sorrows, and sorrows.
The emotions that ordinary people should have have have been replaced by indifference.
