Chapter 11: The Cataclysm Comes

After passing through Hangzhou, it was rainy all the way, looking out through the small window, you can see that there are few pedestrians on the road, rows of military police walking by, and the humid air is full of solemnity.

An uncle in the car said: "A few days ago, there was a riot nearby, there were about three or four hundred gang troubles, and finally the military and police suppressed it, and many people died. ”

The person chatting with him was a middle-aged woman, who was fairly dressed, but her dirty clothes and messy sideburns made her look a little embarrassed.

"It's getting messy."

"yes. I wish this day was over sooner. ”

"Alas, how can it be over......" The middle-aged woman sighed, her son and husband died in the chaos at the station last night, and they were still crying vigorously when they got on the train, probably tired from crying, and now they just kept sighing.

The troop carrier stopped in a small town by the Qiantang River, Su Zhuo got out of the car, and the people in the car said goodbye, smiled, and blessed him, and Su Zhuo also waved to the people in the car, sincerely wishing them peace in the days to come. In this troubled world, everyone hopes for others, for life, and for everything to be okay for themselves.

The misty rain is misty, the blue waves on the river surface are sprinkled and spreading, and on the avenue along the river here, the weeping willows that have grown for many years are graceful and moving in the misty rain curtain.

It's a pity that no one has the heart to enjoy such a beautiful scenery at this time, and people are more concerned about what will happen tomorrow and what will happen in the future. They no longer care about prices, they no longer care about gossip news, they no longer care about national politics, they no longer care about what valuable planet mankind has discovered...... When the Zerg was overwhelmed day by day, the rule system that had existed in this world for thousands of years was ruthlessly disintegrated from the inside by humans.

"Destruction comes first from within." Su Zhuo didn't know where these words were, but he remembered them vividly. With a long sigh, he turned around and walked towards the town behind him. This is where he was born and raised, and when you count the time, it hasn't been here for almost a year.

His mother's grave in the cemetery was clean, and he knew that bastard would come often, but that didn't mean anything. He squatted down and stroked his mother's smile on the stele with his hand, tears streaming down his face.

"Mom, tell me what to do."

There was a thunderclap in the sky, illuminating the somewhat dim sky, and then there was an explosion, and another Zerg was blasted.

He squatted beside his mother's grave for a long time, and it was not until dark that he returned to the big house in the town that belonged to him and his mother, and the large pit twenty meters outside the house was shocking, caused by a giant black beetle that had fallen here three days earlier. The housekeeping robot greets him at the door and welcomes him in.

After washing, he lay down, could not sleep, turned on the computer, people on the Internet became more and more pessimistic, and many people without faith also began to believe in gods at this time, begging for salvation.

News from Pluto's front line is completely cut off, and the news says that the Martian base sent a spacecraft to the asteroid in the evening, and no news has yet been returned. But come to think of it, even if there is news coming back, it will not be good news.

He went to the big forum again, watched the holographic projections arguing fiercely about something, most of them pessimistic, and after watching for a while, he suddenly realized that he would only be depressed here, so he turned off the computer and sat on the bed alone.

Over the years, the breath of my mother has slowly dissipated from the room, but nothing has changed.

"Ah Fu." Ah Fu is the housekeeping robot in the family, several generations behind his housekeeping robot in Hawaii, but it has never been replaced because it was hand-picked by his mother. The door opened, and Ah Fu rolled in.

"What's the matter with the little master." The electronic sound of machinery.

"Get me a cup of sweet milk."

"Okay." Ah Fu got out.

The lights in the room dimmed, and he came to the window, where the sky would glow from time to time, and there would be a commotion on the ground from time to time, followed by screams, gunshots, and loud bangs. Being in the dark is what makes him feel safe.

He took a sip of milk and stared blankly at the night sky, and for a moment, he even thought that a giant worm would fall down and kill him, so that he would no longer have to suffer from the confusion and confusion he was now.

After drinking a glass of milk, he handed the cup to Ah Fu, then sat down on the bed and called his uncle.

"At this time, I ran to the front line, and I lost contact...... Alas. He sighed, and the phone didn't go through as expected. He sat cross-legged on the bed, looking at his palms by the faint glow of the rainy night.

All day, he had been thinking about the scene he had encountered yesterday when he was sitting in the car, and the giant spider poked one foot at him, and then he jumped up and hid. He didn't react until he got to the station, and at that time he jumped too high, higher than any athlete.

He asked Ah Fu to go out and find a brick to come back, then put the brick on the floor, looked at his fist again, and compared.

It is true that he has much more power than before, he thinks so in his heart, but it does not seem to be as powerful as he imagined. Then he looked at the bricks and encouraged himself to say, "Be brave, don't be a coward, you're a reformer now." ”

Then he screamed and slammed his fist into the brick. The pain in his heart almost brought tears to his eyes, and he shook his hand vigorously and kicked the bricks on the ground with his foot. Not broken.

He shook his head, which was not too surprising, and then he went back to his room, sat by the window, and watched the rain outside. The joints on his hands were bleeding, Ah Fu brought wound spray, he sprayed a little on his hand, only half of the wound was sprayed, he was suddenly stunned, and then shook his head and smiled bitterly, he was so squeamish, what should I do next......

But then he thought, in fact, he should have died during the Sun experiment, and then somehow resurrected, and he hasn't died until now, this life can be said to have been picked up, there is no need to be so miserable all the time.

Thinking about it like this, his heart also calmed down, and he also remembered what his uncle said, the reason why people can do it is because they believe that they can, and maybeβ€”he still has some hope in his heart, maybe he can't show his ability, maybe it's because of his lack of confidence in himself?

Thinking like this, he was in a much better mood, then closed the window, closed the curtains, and went back to the room to lie down. The voices outside faded away, and he fell into a deep sleep.

Just after he fell asleep, the faint light on his body began to spread from his face, just like he had done on the Seventy-Eighth Heavenly Palace, gradually covering his whole body.

He had a dream in which he became a powerful man who destroyed the world, and then when the Spider Girl Meteor came to the outside of the earth, he flew into space and blew the Spider Girl Meteor with one punch, and the crisis of humanity was lifted.

When he woke up from a dream, he was a little dazed, and then he thought of where he really was, he got up, washed and ate, and then put on his tank top and shorts and ran out.

In fact, he has always had the habit of exercising, but all kinds of things these days have made him leave this thing behind a lot, and now he has picked it up again. When he ran, I don't know if it was an illusion, he felt like he was running a lot faster than before. He tried to sprint on the riverside avenue, but it attracted the exclamation of the old man who insisted on morning exercise not far away.

"Oh my God, I've never seen anyone run so fast!"

Su Zhuo smiled, waved his hand to the old man, continued to run, and came back after running a few kilometers, the old man was eating breakfast at the stone table by the river, and the Tai Chi sword of the morning exercise was put aside. Su Zhuo sat down beside him and asked the old man for a glass of water.

"You're still out for morning exercises, aren't you afraid of bugs?" Su Zhuo habitually wanted to wipe his sweat, but in fact, he didn't sweat much.

"What's there to be afraid of...... It's such a big age. The old man smiled and said, "As long as you don't die, there will be no big changes in this area, what should you do, people must make room for happiness when they live." Don't live in fear and tiredness. ”

The old man's optimism and cheerfulness infected Su Zhuo, and they chatted for a while, and when the old man got up and went home, he also ran home. Take a shower, change clothes.

I just came here to stay, and I don't know if I'll be able to see my mother in the future, so this time it was a bit of a goodbye. When everything was packed, he went out, stopped a car on the way, and headed for the nearest harbor. His destination was Hawaii. He lived in Hawaii for five years and made a group of friends. Among them, several parents are high-ranking generals of the US Space Force or important US government officials. Su Zhuo contacted them when he was in Jiuquan, and they said that they were preparing to board the ship, and if Su Zhuo arrived in Hawaii, they could take him with them. Now that he can't contact his uncle, Su Zhuo can only pin his hopes on them.

When I arrived at the harbor, unexpectedly, there were not so many people stranded at the port terminal. Su Zhuo went to the ticket office to inquire, and the staff said that there were a lot of insects in the sea, and the most tricky thing was that as long as the insects got into the sea, it would be difficult for the army to find them, so now the sea is becoming more and more dangerous, and the shipping has stopped, and even the warships dare not sail too far out of the harbor.

Su Zhuo retreated in disbelief, he sat down on a bench next to the harbor, his heart was indescribably bitter, this result hit him more than losing contact with his uncle, he couldn't help but wonder if fate deliberately played tricks on him, so that he passed by hope again and again.

But soon he stood up and said to himself, "You have already died once, and now, there is really nothing to be afraid of, remember!" ”

In doing so, he felt confident about the future again.

He returned to Qiantang Town and sent a message to a few friends in Hawaii about his situation, they expressed regret, Su Zhuo smiled calmly and said to them that they would definitely be able to meet again if there was a chance, and several friends looked gloomy, because they all knew that the chance was almost equal to 0.

Since he couldn't leave, Su Zhuo made another plan for himself. He bought a single hovercar for several thousand yuan to travel between Hangzhou and the town, and then he withdrew all the money from his bank account. Inflation was evident during this period, but not to the point of being too outrageous. He bought a basement in Hangzhou, purchased a lot of food, and bought ten energy blocks, one of which can provide 100C of energy for civil use, and if you save a little electricity, one energy block is enough for Su Zhuo to use for a year.

Then he thought of weapons, although in the early years there were decrees restricting weapons in this country, but with the development of society, civilian light weapons were allowed to be owned. He went to several weapons supply stores in Hangzhou, only to find that the weapons were all out of stock, and finally bought two MK90 laser submachine guns and twenty gun energy blocks at a high price on the black market, each energy block can provide 10C of energy, enough for MK90 to shoot 5,000 laser bullets.

He has seen the power of the Zerg many times, and he has no intention of using this light weapon to deal with the Zerg, but he knows that when chaos comes, it is not only the Zerg that is terrifying.

The merchant who sold him the gun carefully pulled Su Zhuo aside when he delivered the goods, and said mysteriously, "Do you want any good things for me?" ”

As for weapons, Su Zhuo naturally hoped that the more the better, so he asked what they were. The merchant raised the watch in his hand, and the watch showed a look of armor in front of Su Zhuo, and Su Zhuo's breath became short.

"How much?" He asked.

"This is an old product from ten years ago, and I won't cheat you, I will charge you 200,000 US dollars."

"I'll take a look at the goods first." Hearing the price, Su Zhuo was a little worried, even if it was a knockout product, a new type of military armor would cost more than 200,000 US dollars.

"Follow me."

Su Zhuo followed the merchant to the warehouse at the back, and the merchant opened a safe, took out a box, opened it, and a piece of armor appeared in front of him.

"Special missiles are high-grade goods in the army, there are only two left, you can save them, this armor is called Xunlong V380 combat armor, which can increase the speed of the wearer by more than 50%, but it must be trained, otherwise it will be used rashly, and the sensitive armor may make you break your hands and feet."

Su Zhuo knew the danger of armor, but he also knew how to learn to use it step by step. So he asked, "Can I try it first?" ”

The merchant looked hesitant, he was worried that Su Zhuo would not be willing to pay if he was injured. Su Zhuo smiled and said, "I can give you half of the money first, and I won't take back the money if I get injured." ”

The merchant agreed.

Su Zhuo put on the Swift Dragon armor, and then activated the voice operation, and a series of commands were issued, making the merchant stunned.

"Look." Su Zhuo said, "I've turned off the armor's sensitivity now, so I don't have to worry about anything happening to me. He raised his hand again, and aimed somewhere in the room, with a conjoined 15mm laser gun on the arm of the armor, and when he tried to aim, a crosshair appeared on the lens in front of his eye.

"Can I give it a try?"

The merchant said, "Next door is the weapons trial room. ”

They came next door, Su Zhuo now had to admit that he liked this armor as soon as he put it on, although the whole set of armor was 50Kg, the weight he felt was only 15Kg, and if the sensitivity attribute was turned on, he could hardly feel the armor on his body.

He aimed and fired several shots, each of which hit the crosshairs. The merchant was surprised and said, "Why do you seem to be familiar with this armor?" ”

Su Zhuo smiled and didn't explain, because he was born in a military family, he has been exposed to these things since he was a child, and even now, in his Hawaiian home, there is a large room full of imitations and analog instruments.

Su Zhuo asked for this armor, and the shopkeeper was naturally full of joy, because of the difficulty of operation, this military Xunlong armor has not been sold, seeing that the situation is becoming more and more chaotic, he is also anxious, he did not expect that a young man can play with the armor.

"Send me a few more energy blocks." Su Zhuo said that this kind of military energy block is too expensive, and an average 1C energy block costs 100 yuan. A 100C energy block is 10,000 yuan.

The merchant thought for a moment and gritted his teeth, "In this way, a 100C military energy block, 5,000 dollars will sell you one, how many can you take?" ”

"I'll ask for 10 more." Su Zhuo said. "Oh, I want a knife, titanium."

Titanium blue alloy is an alloy used to make battleship armor, and the cold weapons made from it have always been well received in the army. Since Su Zhuo is preparing for the future, he naturally has to be comprehensive.

The merchant led him into a room and opened a cabinet in which stood several blades with a blue sheen, "These are the only ones left, look at them." ”

Su Zhuo's eyes suddenly fixed on one of the long knives, the long knives were narrow and sharp, revealing the light of choosing people to devour. Seeing Su Zhuo's gaze, the merchant smiled and said, "I find that I admire you more and more, and I actually saw this one all at once." It uses the most advanced twenty-four layer forging method, and the sharpness of the knife is several times stronger than that of ordinary peptide blue alloy knives. Moreover, he pointed to a position on the handle of the knife, where the energy block can be installed, and when the energy is activated, the knife can become a combination of an alloy knife and a laser knife, which has the advantages of both knives. ”

"That's it." Su Zhuo didn't say anything, and directly swiped half of the money, including the remaining half of the money for guns and armor, which would be paid when the goods were delivered.

The black market is mixed, and Su Zhuo can't be careless.

For the next few days, Su Zhuo stayed in the basement of this small building in Hangzhou, where he blocked everything he could, and added another door outside the gate. Finally, he thought about what to do if someone blocked the door, so he made a hole diagonally upwards on the other side of the basement, and the exit was so hidden that the last wall would fall down with a single push.

In addition, he still insists on exercising every day, but most of the time spent on morning training is spent familiarizing himself with the Swift Dragon armor. And in the past few days, he found that his body was getting stronger and stronger, and on the fourth day of moving to Hangzhou, he was able to smash bricks in half with one punch, although his hand would still be very painful.

In a big city like Hangzhou, there were still very few Zerg in the city at the beginning, but in the past few days, there have been more and more Zergs, and there are often Zerg who fall into Hangzhou City, causing riots. Once, a flame demon worm landed not far from the basement, hundreds of people were burned to death, and half of the house above Su Zhuo's head was burned, but he survived because he was hiding in the basement.

Once again, eschatology has prevailed, and although there are those who try to oppose it, the growing confusion is the strongest evidence for eschatology.

On this day, Su Zhuo turned on the computer as usual, wanting to pay attention to the latest news. At this time, he found that one piece of news was far ahead of the others. He was stunned and clicked open.

The picture shows the president of the United Nations, a German, with a heavy expression, opening his mouth several times, but not speaking several times. After a long time, he said slowly: "We are defeated." ”

Su Zhuo felt as if he had been overrun by a high-voltage electric current, and trembled fiercely. Although he had already foreseen the arrival of this moment, he still felt terrified, sad, and at a loss when he really learned the news.

He didn't listen to the rest of the words, he cut to the dozen or so monitors installed on the rooftops of this block, and saw the streets outside, people running around in a hurry, screaming, swearing, and the military and police had difficulty controlling the increasingly irrepressible restlessness of the people. A monk in a monk's robe stood in the middle of the road, reciting the Bible reverently, and an old man knelt at the intersection and cried out loudly, "Humanity is going to perish!" It's going to perish! ”
