Chapter 1: Eighteen Years of Rebirth
"Finally found !!"
Leng Mo picked up the alloy stick and smashed a cement slab in front of him.
The cement slab was different from the surrounding cement, and there were traces of post-production, but this had to be seen by connoisseurs.
And he, Leng Mo, is an expert.
At the same time, he is also a doctor from the city of Yardong.
In addition to being ordered to study various exotic plants and special seeds, whenever he has free time, he focuses his energy on researching time, claiming to be an expert in time, and writing a lot of arguments about time.
However, in this world of hunger and cold, no one believed in his theory, and if it weren't for the title of a doctor of plants, and he had helped major cities solve the problem of famine, he would have been driven out of these few cities a long time ago!
Three hundred years ago, a dark city rose from the ground in this world.
The strange aura emanating from that city turned more than half of the world's people into zombies, and all the people in the world took up arms to meet them, but they were in a one-sided situation.
It wasn't until one day, when a few powerful warriors unleashed their magical abilities and led everyone to fight back, that humans were able to save a quarter of their living area.
Today, however, there are less than twenty viable cities left for humanity.
Leng Mo took out half of the white thing in the cement block, and said to Tan Xiangyu in the back with a smile: "This is the real way to solve zombies!" Treat the symptoms and cure the root cause! β
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, his fiancΓ©e Tan Xiangyu was caught by several big men!
"Woooooo
Tan Xiangyu's face was full of tears, his mouth was gagged, and he couldn't speak, so he could only choke up.
When she heard the words of those men just now, she realized that the time theory she was studying with Leng Mo was not that no one was paying attention to.
But it's been eyeing it for a long time!
This group of people all stared at the immortal relics that had been mentioned in Leng Mo's book, "Swallowing the Book of Time".
"Is that the second half of the Book of Swallowing the Times?" A man with a pipe in his mouth asked a little vaguely.
He then slowly lowered his pipe, exhaling a large puff of smoke from his mouth.
"You... It's the Guilty Corpse Hunters of Bit City! β
Leng Mo said as he frantically thought of a way to get out.
There's a reason why this group of people will be branded as guilty, they have relied on the super armor for many years to do evil, and their strengthened strength has surpassed the gold level.
Don't say it's the two of them, even if the armed guards of Yardong City arrive, they don't have any chance of winning against them!
"Hehehe, sin? I don't think there's only seventeen cities left for humanity right now, you know? β
He threw his pipe to the ground and crushed it, and said angrily, "Seventeen, that means all of us will die!" β
"What does that have to do with her, let her go, and I'll cooperate with you!"
After Tan Xiangyu met him, he has been accompanying him to conduct research that is not recognized by others, and he can't let his beloved wife have any mistakes!
Even if he has to give up the "Swallowing Time Classic" that he has been searching for for many years to find, he has to save Tan Xiangyu!
Moreover, Leng Mo knew that even if there was the second half of the "Swallowing Time Sutra", the remaining scriptures would not be able to be interpreted, because the first half had already been destroyed during a zombie attack.
That is, without him, "Swallowing the Book of Times" would not be completely restored!
"Cooperation, do you want to say that only you know the first half of the book?" The man said with a smile.
"There can't be anything else." Leng Mo felt a pang in his heart, could it be that this evil corpse hunter group got a fake copy?
The man took out a white book from his arms and said with a smile: "Although it is a pity to kill you, but you have to die, remember, I am the leader of the corpse hunting group, Fenpurni, miscellaneous people, do it for me!" β
"No !!"
Leng Mo couldn't believe it, the first half of the book was obviously destroyed in front of his eyes, how could it get into this person's hands?!
But he didn't have time to think, the members of the corpse hunting group cut their throats with a knife and directly cut off Tan Xiangyu's head, blood sprinkled all over the ruins floor, and Leng Mo knelt on the ground at a loss.
He once thought that one day he would be bitten to death and devoured by zombies, but he never thought that he would be killed by humans!
"Don't be sad, I have a shortcoming, that is, I am kind-hearted, and now I will send you to heaven to reunite with your lover."
Fenpeni picked up the Yuan Infant Shotgun and directly blasted Leng Mo's head into pieces.
However, a strange thing happened, the half of the "Swallowing Time Sutra" in Leng Mo's hand turned into ashes and disappeared into the secret room!
******
"Ah!!h
Leng Mo, who was full of grief and indignation, suddenly screamed out, scaring the whole class!
The professor who stood in front of him was furious.
"Leng Mo, don't interfere with other students after writing the exam papers early!"
Hearing the familiar voice in this memory, Leng Mo gradually calmed down Leng Mo.
When he looked up, his classmates around him showed murderous glances at him, but he didn't feel any fear, but felt blinded.
He... Didn't you get killed by a single shot?
How did it end up here?
"You hand in your exam papers and leave the classroom immediately!"
Seeing Leng Mo's appearance, the invigilator thought that this person must have been sleeping during the exam, and then dreamed of something and was awakened.
Sleeping in the exam room, it's ridiculous!
The professor, who was full of anger, walked directly in front of Leng Mo and took away his exam papers and kicked him out.
"People who don't respect exams will always be waste!" The proctor glared at him.
Leng Mo left the class, ran to the toilet to look in the mirror, and slapped himself in the face.
"I... Won't you really go back to eighteen? β
This exam is the final exam of the School of Liberal Arts.
As long as you graduate and pass the exam, you can get the qualification of admission doctorate, which means that those who pass do not have to go to the front line to fight in the future.
More than 20 years ago, most people in the world were trying to get a Ph.D.
If you can't become a doctor, you will be sent to clerical and medical logistics, but these logistics will still be on the front line to support, and there will be casualties from time to time.
If you want to live a peaceful and stable life, getting a doctorate is already the first choice for most people.
After more than 200 years, the number of PhDs has become smaller and smaller, so those who hold power in the city will let the descendants of their families get PhDs.
In this way, to survive in this world, there is one more choice.
Compared with the Super Literature Academy, another academy is called the Desperate Academy, and basically the hope of mankind is in it.
The Desperate Academy, which represents the possibility of dying if you become a qualified warrior after entering, is called the Hero Academia by civilians.
Everyone who comes out of it is a first-class warrior, they have all experienced the awakening of miracle energy, and can reach the bronze level of strength before the age of eighteen, and a few demon geniuses are the strength of being able to jump to the silver level at a young age.
Only those who have reached this level of strength can put on the special super armor made by the City Alliance and go to the front line to fight the zombie invasion.
"By the way, what about Tan Xiangyu?" Leng Mo, who fell into memories and surprise, suddenly remembered a bloody scene.
Where is Tan Xiangyuren?
Could it be that she will also be reborn together?
Tan Xiangyu is a mysterious woman who appeared during an excavation of a monument, and later became Leng Mo's assistant.
She was intrigued by Leng Mo's botanical abilities and his theory of time, and the two later fell in love and got engaged.
"No, no, she's not from Yardong City." Leng Mo has a headache, and now he's in trouble.
Not far from the examination room, another person who handed in the exam paper came over and patted him on the shoulder: "What's wrong?" Leng Mo, did you just have a nightmare? Look at you from just now to now, looking lifeless. β
"Zhang Kebu, do you think people dream of their lives when they dream?" Leng Mo said.
Zhang Kebu is one of Leng Mo's friends, and he will take the initiative to invite Ying to go to the war zone three years later and make great achievements.
If Leng Mo remembers correctly, in order to save the army, Zhang Kebu finally detonated a series of Jindan bombs and died in Blue Diamond City.
"Ahem, the problem of metaphysics, I have to go to the special institution Feiling Academy to ask, I remember that the academy has produced a lot of magicians, what Taoism, Confucianism, holy scriptures, and Buddhist books are taught, but in recent years, it has been listed as a redundant institution by the City Alliance, I heard that it is ready to be abolished, and all cities will not supply any resources to Feiling Academy in the future."
Zhang Kebu didn't understand anything about dreams.
His circle of friends is similar to Leng Mo, most of them are in the Super Literature Academy, and a few are in the Desperate Academy.
Leng Mo nodded and said, "Okay, I'll ask again when I'm free." β
He was a little tired today, so he went home directly after chatting with Zhang Kebu for a few words.
In the city, the Leng family is not a big family, so they live near the edge of the city, and there are a whole row of mud buildings.
More than 100 years ago, the world developed a stronger building material, which is harder than steel and more breathable than cement, called log cement.
There are three security lines in the whole city, the first is the liquid metal moat, which can easily resist the invasion of ordinary zombies; The second layer is a lightning wall, and the semi-metal wall is filled with high-voltage electricity; The third floor is a mud building.
Because the zombies that can break through the first two floors are no longer easy for them to deal with, but all the inhabitants of the city need a building that can ease the evacuation time, and in the end, each city chooses to use mud buildings as a third line of defense.
On the other hand, people can stay for free, giving a convenient door to migrants from other cities.
Looking at the cloudy sky, Leng Mo walked very quickly, out of the school gate, it is the most prosperous downtown area in the city, the streets and alleys are full of restaurants, especially the gorgeously decorated restaurants, which are even full.
He took a big breath, tasted the rich aroma of the food, and then quickly left, from the bustle to the decline, and there was not a single restaurant in the more dilapidated area, except for a few small vendors selling rations.
Portable rations are special foods made in response to wartime needs, which are different from the war rations that were still used more than 100 years ago.
It's the energy that condenses the food and then creates it in another way. In other words, molecular cuisine, which was born 100 years ago, has evolved in an all-round way, and there are all kinds of flavors, and meat is the richest.
In this world, there are too few safe and tasty meats.
Even though the Terrans still have a quarter of their realm, after two hundred years of war, there are hardly any living animals in the wild, except for the two suppliers of the City Alliance, who are still breeding.
Because, animals will bring a zombie virus, alienate various animals and attack them and spread them to humans.
"Sister, I'm back." Leng Mo lay on the bed, he was still used to saying this.
Due to the shortage of manpower in the front-line war, his sister Leng Baijiu was selected by the coalition forces to support and has not returned for half a month.
Now he is the only one in the house.
Leng Mo felt a little embarrassed in the face of the empty home.
Leng Mo was eighteen years old, his parents died in the zombie rebellion, and the remaining relatives only had one sister.
And his sister will be bitten by a zombie in three months, and then Leng Mo will try to protect his sister as a doctor, and research and improve a new type of vampire plant, trying to exchange blood for his sister in the most natural way.
As a result, it didn't last more than a month, and his sister still turned into a zombie and was directly killed by the guards in the laboratory.
"In three months, if I can be admitted to the Admiral Class of the Desperate Academy, I will have the opportunity to go to the front line to save people, but the people who take the Admiral Class have been trained for at least ten years, how can I pass the test with such a weak body now."
The vast majority of the students who came out of the Admiral Class were silver-level warriors, and a very small number were gold-level, and the way to improve their strength above the bronze level was not to rely on ordinary training, but to rely on eating energy-rich food.
The Doctors research all kinds of new materials, and let the people below produce and cook them for these warriors who guard the hope of humanity.
In the breath of despair, he could not sleep all night.
Suddenly, the "Swallowing Time Sutra" that he got twenty-five years later flashed in his mind, and the information of the upper and lower halves fused in his consciousness, and a crystal like white jade-like divine book appeared in front of him perfectly!
"Could that be the real reason why I'm back?"
Leng Mo jumped up and shouted in the room early in the morning, he was excited, this trip back was not a trip in vain, with this magic book that mastered time, it could definitely change everything!
"If I want to go to the front line, I have to be a chef first!"
He decided to give up his PhD qualification and instead get an apprenticeship as a chef, and then a chef's license!
Outside of the Bunwu Academy, the most popular profession in the city is the chef, and the chef is the only profession that has access to the latest ingredients.
As long as it is not scientifically produced, it will be passed on to every human being through their hands.
This is the rule set by the City Alliance a hundred years ago after the outbreak of the Zombie War, and they must thoroughly control the ingredients and cultivate warriors in the best possible way.
