Chapter 4: The Broken Earth

He was stunned by what he saw; The world was full of gray and there was only the little light left by the sun; Cracks in the ground were everywhere; There was a vast drizzle in the sky, what seemed to be a very corrosive acid rain; There are no other colors and other flora and fauna, just rocks and cliffs, and he once had a beautiful imagination of the earth's surface, but now it has been shattered.

"It's... Is this the ground......" He was stunned, he remembered that in Earth class the teacher described the earth so beautifully and told them to believe in miracles, the earth will be fine, but now he has seen the truth.

He fantasized in his heart that he would come to the surface of the earth in countless beautiful ways, but he did not expect to come here to make money to heal his mother.

He cautiously pressed the button on the elevator door, and the door slowly closed again.

He looked around and there was no sign of any living creatures, it was like a place where war broke out in the whole country, there was no one and no grass growing, the acid rain with a strong corrosive effect fell from the sky but could not reach Xingluo in protective clothing at all, and even the omnidirectional camera on his head was specially processed, but he didn't care about this, he just wanted to take a quick walk and take a look and then go back to get money for his mother's treatment.

He walked to the nearest ravine, he went to the edge of the cliff and looked down to find that there was a lot of fog below, he picked up a stone and threw it down, but he could not hear the echo for a long time, like an abyss, bottomless.

He looked around, and everywhere it was in tatters, full of the wreckage of the city, dead and lifeless.

Xingluo only dared to wander around the elevator, and did not dare to leave the elevator too far, for fear that he would get lost and not be able to go back.

But he didn't think that since he was allowed to come up, then things would not be so simple, indeed, the omnidirectional camera on his head monitored the surroundings of Xingluo without dead ends, and it also contained dozens and hundreds of nano cameras, whose role was actually to shoot creatures with signs of life alone!

Indeed, no one dares to imagine what kind of monsters will be bred in this extreme living environment.

Xingluo just circled around the elevator, but he didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes staring at him not far away, but all of this was recorded by the nano camera.

That beast, no, it should be said that the monster has been following Xingluo not far away, but unfortunately he never found it.

Half an hour later, he got tired and ran to the elevator to sit down, he didn't dare to get into the elevator, he was afraid that when he went back, the scientists would investigate the video, and if he saw them staying in the elevator for a long time, he would definitely not get the money.

He sat for hours, tired and dozed off from time to time, he thought to himself that he could sleep, and there was nothing dangerous anyway, but he did not realize that danger was approaching.

As he fell asleep, the number of monsters in the distance gradually increased, and it seemed that companions had arrived.

Monsters may have come with curiosity, or they may have come with a hunting heart, the elevator has not been started once in hundreds of years, and this start must have caused a lot of movement, so it attracted these monsters, not only elevators, but even humans they have not seen.

Out of it came a monster slowly approaching Xingluo, and the camera recorded all this; The monster was like a tiger, about two meters tall and three or four meters long; The body is covered with black, scale-like things; The two fangs are bare and look sharper than a knife.

However, Xingluo, who had not yet noticed the danger, was still asleep, until the monster was less than a meter away from him, and the camera above his head suddenly woke up Xingluo, and even the monster was frightened by this sudden "strange sound" and took two steps back.

Xingluo saw the monster in front of him first screamed, and then remembered to get up and run away, and the monster suddenly became interested, as if it was going to eat him.

He frantically pressed the elevator switch, but the elevator door opened too slowly, and the monster instantly threw Xingluo to the ground, and the monster roared at him, and the monster's saliva splashed on his protective suit and the glass mask, which was being corroded at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xingluo's oxygen supply was insufficient, and he could only barely breathe, but all he inhaled into his lungs was carbon dioxide.

At this time, the elevator door had opened, but the monster had no intention of letting him go.

His hand was groping wildly, and suddenly he grabbed a stone, and he hurriedly smashed it into the monster's eye, making it temporarily blind, it seemed to be the only soft place on the monster's body, the monster felt the pain, and its front paws suddenly swung towards Xingluo, scratching his right eye, he stood up with the pain, ran into the elevator, and pressed the button to close the elevator.

The door still closed very slowly, and he frantically pressed the elevator switch, but the elevator door always closed slowly.

At this time, the monster had recovered and pounced towards him, fortunately his size was too big to come, the monster could only reach in outside the elevator to see if he could catch Xingluo, knowing that the monster's hand was clamped off, a wail suddenly came out of the elevator, Xingluo was glad that he was not dead, but he fell into a coma due to lack of oxygen.

"Boy, how are you? Wake up! โ€

I don't know how long he was in a coma, he was lying on the research table of the Academy of Science and Technology when he woke up, he didn't know if it was to dissect him or what to do, but the first thing he had to do now was to get the money to save his mother.

The scientists did not stop him, and also gave him 1 million as promised, probably during the time he was in a coma, scientists had already checked that he did not bring the virus from the outside world, just sulfuric acid on the wound.

His right eye had already been bandaged by scientists, and he rushed to the hospital where his mother was staying without hesitation.

But when he went to the hospital, he saw a big screen full of photos of himself, and some people recognized him and praised him as a "big hero", maybe even he didn't understand.

"The doctors at that hospital saw that I had enough money and immediately operated on my mother, but who would have known that my mother was bleeding profusely and the blood bank was so short that even the doctors could not save my mother's life."

"At that time, I had a nervous breakdown to the extreme, and in the end it was the scientist called Low-lying who suggested that I go to the army, and he said that he saw a valuable spirit in me, and I listened to his advice and became a commander in just two years."

"We seem to be a little bit alikeโ€”" Shaw bowed his head, which seemed to remind him of his parents.

"Yes, boy, I've read your information, it says..."Xingluo, who was just about to speak, remembered that he had poked his sadness.

"I'm sorry."

"It's okay, I don't really care anymore." It always feels like the conversation between them is like two autistic people, both of them are dead and helpless, but they are still living strongly.
