Chapter 1: Black Gold

Next Chapter

Night, June 27, 2130. Temperature -30°.

Lu Kuan felt a little tired, and he found a narrow place.

He was very sleepy, but he must raise the temperature of this place before going to bed, as long as there is temperature, then he will not freeze to death in the middle of the night.

Lu walked around Mina around the narrow area, only to realize that it was most likely a utility room.

Mina is not human, she is a husky. She has wolf-gray hair and blue eyes.

The important thing is that she is Lu Kuan's partner who has been dependent on each other for life and death for several years.

Mina is active and always walks in front of Lu Kuan.

When there is danger, they can always notify Lu Kuan at the first time, and they don't need words, they only need an action to know.

This emotion is subtle and puzzling.

It seems that no one needs to understand, because in the past five years, Lu Kuan has not seen a person at all, except for the animals in the snow.

He thinks that he is the only living person in the world, and perhaps he is the last human being.

When he dies, then there will be no more humans in this world.

There was some sadness, but he couldn't help but admit it.

In five years, Lu Kuan has transformed from an ignorant teenager to a decisive adult, and he has experienced too many dangers.

In his dreams, he often dreamed of that dim, sweltering home. There was a bad pungent smell everywhere, but it was much better than it was now.

If you have to compare, it's a world of difference.

Mina suddenly barked, as if she had found something.

Lu Kuan knew that this was Mina asking herself to go over and take a look.

Mina barked wildly as she shaved through the fluffy snow with her paws.

Soon a black thing was revealed.

Lu Kuan has seen this thing, this thing is called black gold, and it is generally only available to rich families.

Ordinary civilians have no way to see it.

At that time, his mother was a part-time worker, and occasionally asked Lu Kuan to help, and that was when Lu Kuan saw the legendary black gold.

Black gold is actually coal, because of the scarcity of resources, coal has become extremely precious. Therefore, it has the reputation of black gold.

Lu Kuan was very excited, because there was a lot of black gold here, and he had been using it for a while.

He touched Mina's head excitedly, and Mina walked away proudly like a child.

Lu Kuan moved all the black gold into the utility room and set it on fire.

Red flames burst out, and a smile appeared on Lu Kuan's face.

Mina jumped up with joy as well.

It was the warmest they felt in five years.

Five years ago, the icebergs melted, plunging the world into cold, and the temperature dropped by dozens of degrees in an instant.

When it first broke out, the whole city had frozen to death.

At that time, Lu Kuan was repairing the pipeline underground, and he escaped this catastrophe.

There were five people who repaired the pipeline together, and the other four were the first to come out, and they were frozen into ice sculptures in an instant.

Seeing that they died instantly, Lu Kuan ran back like crazy.

He ran to the deepest place, and the sudden cold made the temperature underground rise a lot.

It was about a week or so before Lu Kuan slowly crawled out of the ground.

By then, the surface temperature had risen somewhat, but the entire city was covered in ice.

The city was plunged into darkness, enveloped in cold, and the world became crystal clear and unbelievable.

Lu Kuan left his home with grief, he didn't know where he was going, but he knew he had to live.

To survive, you have to find food. The money that was previously exchanged for time is no longer of any use at this moment.

I used to try my best to climb up, but now it has become a thing of the past.

The world has changed, and being able to live is the greatest achievement.

He was wrapped in heavy clothes, and he no longer knew how many clothes he was wearing. My father's mother's own self was put on my body.

He had never seen cotton clothes, nor had he seen cold clothing.

Because the cotton clothing was discontinued in 2103, there is no winter in the world, and even rainfall is rare. If it rains, it is a disaster.

Because of the serious industrial pollution, the rainwater is highly toxic.

Countless people die every year due to rainfall, which has become the biggest natural disaster of the 22nd century.

Lu Kuan walked for a long time and found Mina in a supermarket.

At that time, Mina was already dying, and he held Mina in his arms to cover the heat, and gradually gained temperature.

After that, Mina followed him.

What reassures Lu Kuan is that there are still animals in this world, and he is not the only living body.

Lu walked around the city with Mina, searching for food. Only then did I spend five years comfortingly.

This night, Lu Kuan and Mina both slept soundly, because of the black gold, their temperature was guaranteed.

In the middle of the night, Mina suddenly barked.

Lu Kuan only saw a dirty girl shivering at the flames emitted by the black gold.

"I want to keep warm." The girl said timidly, "I won't rob you of your food." ”

Lu Kuan was a little excited, because this girl was the first person he had seen in five years.

"I've got some food here." Lu Kuan opened his backpack and took out some biscuits and a bottle of spirits.

Spirits are a good thing because they are able to dispel the cold.

The girl took the food and took a sip of wine.

Perhaps because of the first drink, the girl choked and blushed.

"My name is Gao Fei, and I am from Wangmo." The girl put down the mustard and began to introduce herself.

"My name is Lu Kuan, and I am from Yucheng."

The two are considered acquaintances, but the girl is still silent. In her eyes there was only fire and temperature.

"Anyone else?" Lu Kuan wanted to know if more people were still alive.

Gao Fei looked at Lu Kuan in horror and said, "Yes." ”

"Where are they?" Lu Kuan was even more excited, he wanted to be with people so much, and continued: "Take me to them. ”

"No, you can't go to them." Gao Fei was even more excited, his mood fluctuated greatly, and he looked behind him in horror.

Lu Kuan didn't know why, and he didn't know what Gao Fei was afraid of.

Gao Fei said emotionally: "They are all devils. ”

"Don't get excited, speak slowly." Lu Kuan wanted to appease Gao Fei's emotions, but he wanted to know the whereabouts of those who were alive.

He didn't know how horrific Gao Fei's experience was, nor how terrible the price Gao Fei paid to escape.

Gao Fei fell into tears, and her mind was full of scenes of her sister being ravaged by that group of demons.

"Can you help me?" Gao Fei's eyes became very firm: "As long as you help me, I am yours." ”

Seeing that Lu Kuan was unmoved, Gao Fei began to take off his clothes and said, "As long as you can help me take revenge." ”
