The war came suddenly, both for Cheng Lin and for others.

Because the earth is disturbed by some force that cannot be explained by existing science.

This makes it smoothly locked by the sun in a very short time.

Then there are the real problems caused by extreme cold and high temperatures.

The Eastern Hemisphere, represented by the Xia Kingdom, and the Western Hemisphere, represented by the Federation, have encountered serious survival tests.

The city suddenly became uninhabitable.

So humans are forced to need to migrate.

Humans are not migratory birds, and migration cannot be smooth and peaceful.

It is bound to be accompanied by conflicts and contradictions.

It is a matter of survival, and this is no longer a matter that can be resolved through peace negotiations.

The migration of billions of people cannot be done by peaceful means in any way.

The lockdown of the Earth means that those who live in areas that face the light and the darkness must leave.

And the best living area on earth is naturally the place where day meets night.

The climate is at its most moderate here.

Unfortunately, there is only a limited amount of land where light and darkness meet, and most of it is ocean.

In the long run, the most habitable area is represented by two dotted lines in Greece and Somalia.

In other words, presumably on both sides of the Red Sea.

There are many romantic legends about the Red Sea.

One of the most widely known is Moses' opening of the sea in the book of Exodus.

In the symbolism of the story, it can also be interpreted as a place where life and freedom are regained.

No one could have imagined that to this day.

The 2,000-kilometer coast of the Red Sea has really become a place of life in the eyes of many people.

Or call it a "lifeline".

People on both the eastern and western continents intended to migrate to the place where this lifeline was located.

And this will stir up hundreds of countries around the world and draw more than seven billion people into war.

In this war, "justice" has become an illusory word.

There were some pacifists who tried to stop it, but unfortunately they didn't even make a splash.

War was inevitable after all.

……

A week after the global lockdown.

The news about "Cheng Lin" suddenly appeared in the media of major countries.

A comprehensive analysis of what happened.

The global projection of a year and a half ago, the cosmic signal emitted by Jamus, the strange face of the starry sky and the signal it responds,

For the results of the survey of the second phase of the ninth academy, etc., all the analysis articles that are integrated together have swept the world network!

The article characterizes Cheng Lin as the person directly responsible for the "global lockdown" disaster.

Claim that he is the culprit that caused all this!

Announced the issuance of a global wanted warrant for Cheng Lin!

The United Nations even spoke a day later, positioning Cheng Lin as the world's highest-level criminal.

Crime committed: Crimes against humanity.

The emotions of seven billion people around the world have been briefly vented.

……

In the weeks that followed, the public opinion attack on Cheng Lin reached the highest level in human history.

However, with no traces of his existence found, the crusade inevitably declined.

Real-world issues are once again the focus of everyone's attention.

……

After a month of global lockdown.

The coordinating role of the United Nations has completely failed.

The five permanent members of the Security Council collectively announced their permanent withdrawal.

Nearly 200 Member States also collapsed.

The international community has entered a period of war mobilization.

Border frictions are widespread in various countries.

……

A month and a half later.

The three major states within the Federation, the five provinces of the Xia State, the capital of the Soviet Union, and dozens of countries and regions, large and small, have been classified as areas unsuitable for human survival.

There is turmoil in all countries.

……

Two months later.

Domestic pressures have finally reached a point where they need to be unleashed.

The Confederation was the first to declare war on its neighbors to the east.

Mr. President at the time held a nationwide teleconference at the White House.

He shouted with an incomparably serious, yet incomparably firm:

"The traitors of humanity have opened the door of calamity, and Satan has returned to earth...... But love and light will eventually triumph over evil......"

……

An hour after the declaration of war, the war began.

Another hour later, the Eastern Hemisphere was also at war.

Tanks broke through the lines.

Airplanes circled over the city.

Firearms, shells, haze, smoke......

and abilities.

Human beings enter the life-and-death infighting at the same time in the two directions of weapons and cultivators on the scientific side.

……

War became the norm.

……

"Hoo ......"

Cheng Lin stood in front of the window of the safe house, to be precise, his dormitory, holding a cup of hot water in his hand, drinking slowly.

It wasn't cold inside, but he could see the snowy streets outside the window.

Empty city.

It's going to feel cold.

The dark and desolate city has long since lost the lights of the past.

Rather, it is filled with darkness.

and the devastation after the war.

Time began to accelerate frequently after the global lockdown.

Cheng Lin seemed to be looking at a photo album, and every time he turned a page, it was a new photo.

And the subject matter in the photo is always terrible.

Suddenly, the window took a look again...... The album has turned a new page.

The view outside the window has changed again.

From a city to a new one......

Where it was razed to the ground.

[The war gradually entered the white heat, and finally, at a certain moment, a nuclear war broke out]

When he heard the news, Cheng Lin was unexpectedly calm.

He just blew leisurely on the hot air wafting from the cup and took a sip of water.

"It was already predictable."

He said quietly, "Do you want to continue to let me watch like this?" I don't think there's anything to be said about it. ”

Maybe it was the boredom of hearing Cheng Lin's words.

A lot of information began to flow through his mind.

And the scenery outside the window began to blur for a long time.

[War is indeed full of ugliness, and it has made the earth even more devastated]

[This global war lasted less than a decade, and in this decade, in addition to guns and deaths, there were also some things that affected the structure of civilization]

[After the outbreak of nuclear war, a large area of land was filled with nuclear radiation and became a wasteland, and what people did not expect was that nuclear radiation and aura had some kind of wonderful reaction]

[So a new term "psionic radiation" was born]

[Psionic radiation has caused some animals that were originally struggling to survive to mutate and become some more powerful lifeforms, and multiply at a speed far beyond that of humans]

[And within the human race, the large number of deaths of ordinary people has also caused the number of cultivators to slowly begin to account for more proportion...... After all, cultivators have a more obvious advantage in both war and climate.]

[In the aftermath of the war, there is still a deep concern in the academic community, which seems to be a bit groundless in the context of a global nuclear war, but it has been taken seriously by the top leaders of various countries]

[That's it...... When will the extraterrestrial civilization represented by that starry sky face arrive? 】

[It is a matter of strategic importance that people firmly believe that to see is to see, and to see is to come, and that the arrival of extraterrestrial civilizations will once again lead to change]

[And in order to defend against alien civilizations, some advocate the development of new weapons along the scientific route, while others advocate opening up the era of cultivators]

[During the years-long war period, and the following ten years of stability, practitioners gradually began to gain more and more power, and took advantage of the opportunity of global change to try to change the original social structure]

……

[When the first powerhouse to break through the Nine Rank Realm and advance to the Earth Emperor Realm was born, the world pattern was truly changed]

[A number of Earth Emperor Realm powerhouses began to be born one after another, and they showed extraordinary strength and successfully achieved political and dominance positions]

[The country has disappeared in a sense, and the total population of the planet has plummeted to a pitiful number]

[The social form of pyramid-form cultivators led by the powerhouses of the Earth Emperor Realm, supplemented by the powerhouses of the ninth rank, the eighth rank and below, is officially coming]

[So far, 30 years have passed]

[The earth has changed beyond recognition, and eventually formed a social form of "lord" type that coexists]

[And the extraterrestrial civilization that people feared has still not arrived]

……

The hot water in Cheng Lin's cup has been drunk.

The blurred view outside the window became clear again.

He found that the outside was a desert-like area.

At a glance, there is a feeling of the Gobi Desert.

Very desolate.

"Is it over?"

Cheng Lin muttered softly in some surprise.

Seeing that there was no sign of time going on, he was finally sure that it seemed that this acceleration was over.

"In the span of 30 years, the world has gone from global lockdown, to the migration of all mankind, and then to the outbreak of nuclear war for turf......

And then there's the post-nuclear stabilization period.

Then came the cultivators who usurped power and became the de facto rulers......"

"According to this statement, civilization does not evolve, nor disappears, but degenerates, well, or alienation."

Cheng Lin pondered.

"Also...... According to this deduction explanation, after a cultivator breaks through the Nine Ranks, will he advance to the so-called Earth Emperor Realm?

According to my previous speculation with Sun Xiao,

At present, the strongest person in the Xia Kingdom in the real world should only be seventh.

Other countries should not go beyond this,

This civilization evolution is based on reality.

Other words...... It should be accurate to advance to the Earth Emperor Realm after the ninth rank. ”

Cheng Lin's eyes lit up, and he felt that he had finally obtained a little useful information.

At this moment, new information finally appeared in his mind again:

[The deduction has entered a stable stage, the world has become a wasteland, and the mission continues]

[Mission (Part 5): Step out of the house, step into the new world of the wasteland, and follow the guidance signs to find the corpse of the Scout team]
