Chapter 25: Advent
The end times, as Lian Zi knew, came quietly.
On January 22, people fell asleep in the night as usual.
They didn't notice anything different, but many people didn't see the sun on the 23rd, and even if they reappeared under the sun, they weren't the same anymore.
It was the same in the last life, and from the night of the 22nd, the earth suddenly went into a state of darkness, and there was no light at all.
This situation lasted for 3 days, and it was not until the morning of the 26th that light returned to the earth.
During this period, people entered a coma one after another, and the doctors could not find out the reason for the people who were in a coma at first and were taken to the hospital.
But Lian Zi knew that this was a demonic qi invading the human race.
Generally speaking, there will be a certain amount of righteousness in the human body, that is, the heaven and earth aura to protect the body. Ordinary filth and evil qi cannot invade the human body.
But now it's different, Lian Zi doesn't know where this powerful demonic qi comes from, but this doesn't prevent her from understanding demonic energy.
In the last life, in the third year of the apocalypse, the situation at the base gradually stabilized, and some scientists counted the losses of human beings since the end of the world.
At the beginning of the apocalypse, almost 60% of the people in Huaguo were infected by demonic energy and became zombies.
And then because the end of the world came too suddenly, the people around them didn't know it, and many people were bitten by their relatives in this way.
And because neither the country nor ordinary people were prepared, in the first month, everyone had no experience in dealing with zombies, and in order to collect supplies or go to the base, they lost a small half of their people.
Then the zombies slowly escalated, it became more and more difficult to go out to collect supplies, more and more people were killed, and many people did not dare to leave the base, so they starved to death and some people died.
Then in the next few years, the scale of zombies continued to expand, and zombie sieges often occurred, most of the small bases did not have enough weapons, and the abilities were not strong enough, so they couldn't last long, and many of them were wiped out, so some people died.
Therefore, by the time Lian Zi died, the remaining population of China was less than 5% of the pre-apocalyptic era.
Lian Zi didn't know if the situation would get better in this life, but this was not something she had to worry about.
――
The Murong family, now except for the old general Murong and Murong Yi and some other people from the Murong family who stayed in the capital, most of the other forces have moved to the southwest.
Murong Heng is in an important position, so he naturally can't leave at will before the end of the world. He came to the southwest this time for the reason of his visit.
As for Murong Yue, he received a task half a month before the end of the world. Originally, because the end of the world was coming, Murong Yue was going to push it off, but he thought that if he did this, it would be different from his usual style, and he was afraid that it would make people suspicious, so he went ahead.
Of course, Murong Yue couldn't go on any mission, not only did he not go, but he used this incident to move himself to the shadows. After all, many of the things the Murong family is doing now are unseemly.
With the arrival of January 22, Murong Yue clearly felt a special energy fluctuation in the air. This energy is very mottled, not only the kind of gentle and clear energy that I usually cultivate, but also the dark and tyrannical energy. These two abilities are intertwined, you have me, I have you, and there is no distinction between them.
Of course, the Murong family knew that something big would happen today, and it was impossible not to make any moves at all.
Now, the Murong family has released a message on the news broadcast, saying that now Huaguo has been attacked by a mysterious force in the universe, which is harmful to the human body, and hopes that the masses will try to stay at home and not go out.
However, the effect of this is not something that the Murong family can control.
After all, although the Earth has now gone into darkness, there have been no major casualties, and many people simply do not take it seriously. And it is impossible for the Murong family to suppress it by force, because the army also needs to be rectified.
