Time.

Time is always moving forward silently, but unstoppably, it is like an omnipresent spectator, witnessing the birth, development and ephemeral glory of human beings.

Human beings once stood on the top of the earth, looking at the stars of the universe, as if they were powerful enough to conquer everything, but when the stars and planes really came, human beings knew their own insignificance and fragility, and the time from the peak to the abyss was only eight years, and human beings fell to the edge of survival.

Even Earth, a member of this ancient star, is also in the invasion of the plane, and it is about to come to an end.

Behold, above the sky, a row of great stars stretched across the horizon, and they took the place of the sun, shining the earth with a dim but hot light, so that mankind would not fall into complete darkness. The land is full of endless Gobi and desert, and from time to time strong winds sweep through the rubble, leaving behind long ravines, like scars cut by a blunt knife.

At the end of the desolate land, there is a city of great scale, or rather, the ruins of the city. The once high-rise buildings still stand tall, but the masonry on the surface has long since peeled away, leaving only the steel and concrete frames, and the abandoned roads have collapsed everywhere, and all kinds of strange plants have grown from them. Abandoned cars can occasionally be seen on the roadside, and the iron sheets are covered with rust. In some of the potholes in the road, there is a dark sewage flowing with a pungent stench, and from time to time huge rats more than a meter long will pass through the wastewater, squeaking and screaming and disappearing into the distance.

Suddenly, the ground trembled slightly, billowing smoke and dust rose in the distance, and the roar of the engine could be heard in the distance, tearing through the silence of the ruins. A steel convoy approached slowly, with an off-road jeep in reinforced steel armor at the front, followed by a heavily armored wheeled combat vehicle, and three trucks, each crammed with 50 heavily armed soldiers. Their weapons are of a uniform standard, ostensibly resembling old rifles from the 19th century, with barrels up to a meter long and almost human-height with their bodies.

Several wandering living corpses in the ruins were alarmed, roaring and rushing towards the convoy, the soldiers laughed and opened fire, and from the muzzle of the guns shot not bullets, but red energy clusters, the power is extremely amazing, a shot can lift half of the head of the living corpse.

The wheeled armored combat vehicle in the center of the convoy has a closed compartment, in which seven or eight people are seated, although the seats are ordinary, compared with the soldiers on the truck, they do not have to withstand the sun, and the carriage can also block the howling wind like a knife, which is comfortable.

Those who can sit in the car are the elites of this era, so they have a different treatment. They are the only hope for humanity to survive in the last days – the Evolvers.

The convoy stopped in front of the ruins of a building, the chariot drove to the front, sealing the gate of the building, and one hundred and fifty soldiers scattered and surrounded the entire building. The Evolutionaries jumped from their armored vehicles, their neat clothes and their vigorous movements distinguishing them from ordinary warriors.

Two tall women stepped down from the off-road command car, and one standing in front of him was wearing retro-style armor, with golden light shining all over his body, long hair without wind and automatic, and a pair of phoenix eyes that were not angry and arrogant. The other was dressed as a special soldier in a dark camouflage uniform, a beret and sunglasses, and she was holding a very sci-fi pistol with a hazy bright yellow glow, which was obviously not ordinary.

The evolutionaries greeted one after another, "City Lord! "General Ye!"

The "City Lord" dressed in armor nodded and asked an evolutionary, "Hong Peng, are you sure you found a green 'spirit' here?" ”

Hong Peng said awe-inspiringly: "City Lord, I don't dare to lie to you if I have the courage." ”

"That's good." The city lord pointed out the four evolutionaries, including Hong Peng: "You go in with me and Xiao Ye." Then he said to the remaining three: "Yunfei, Bai Ye, Jiajia, the three of you are staying here!" ”

"Yes!" The three people who answered were a tall man with a resolute face, a young man in his twenties with deep eyes, and a beautiful girl with a ponytail.

The young man was the white night, and he watched everyone disappear into the darkness of the building, and he had an illusion in a trance, and the dark gate seemed to turn into the mouth of a monstrous beast, devouring everyone.

In the middle of the night, there was no movement from the building, and Bai Ye was a little bored, and began to play with an hourglass-shaped pendant. The frame of the hourglass seems to be made of bronze, and the surface has been severely faded, but it is even thicker and more ancient, as if it has carried 10,000 years of time.

The tall strong man's name was Ji Yunfei, he glanced at the pendant curiously, and asked, "Bai Ye, this is the treasure you got from the Well of the Void?" What features does it have? ”

Bai Ye smiled: "It's called 'Time Erosion', and it can increase my speed, or reduce the speed of the enemy, the range is about 20%. ”

The girl with the ponytail was stunned: "That's all there is to it?" I've heard that you've almost broken your family for sacrifice, and it's not worth it. ”

As the three of them were talking, Bai Ye suddenly felt something, and said to himself: "No, the space here is not very stable?" His complexion changed, the center of his eyebrows in the middle of his forehead suddenly cracked, and he opened a black vertical pupil that was as crystal as obsidian, looked around, and shouted: "It's not good, it's a space-time rift!" Call out to the city lord, we retreat! ”

However, it was too late, and a rustling sound came from the ruins of the city, like countless insects gnawing at the leaves. From the ground and from all corners of the ruins, maggots poured out like a tide. The bugs vary in size, the smallest being only a finger long, while the largest is more than a dozen meters long! They have round mouthparts at the front of their bodies, and layers of sharp teeth like meat grinders, which are very hideous and endless, forming a sea of maggots!

The three evolutionaries were stunned, and the soldiers screamed and started shooting, but there were too many maggots, they swarmed up without hindrance, and instantly drowned the soldiers, the big maggots swallowed people directly into their stomachs, while the smaller ones went down their eyes, ears, mouths and noses into their bodies, the soldiers let out a terrible scream, almost silent, and the battlefield became a hell on earth!

Ji Yunfei roared suddenly, his body swelled violently, and a thick layer of steel armor condensed on his skin, turning into a steel giant up to 4 meters high! He pointed to the gate of the abandoned mansion and shouted, "Quick, go in and find the city lord!" I'm here to stop them! ”

Bai Ye and Jiajia exclaimed: "No! ”

"Less nonsense, go quickly!" The giant roared, pushed the two of them through the gate, and then came to the chariot, and with the strength of his arms, he lifted the chariot weighing more than a dozen tons! With a bang, the gate was firmly blocked.

"Goodbye, brother, you have to live." Ji Yunfei said a word silently, turned around, and faced the ocean of maggots alone.

Bai Ye let out a heart-rending cry: "Old Ji! No! ”

Jiajia beside him suddenly exclaimed: "This is impossible!" ”

Bai Ye followed her gaze, her body was cold, like a poke of ice water from her head to her feet, only to see that on the ground in the front hall, there were several corpses lying horizontally, it was a few evolutionaries who followed the city lord, and even the heroic General Ye died here!

Bai Ye said in a trembling voice: "This ...... This...... What about the city lord? ”

"Here, hee-hee-hee." A shrill and shrill laugh came from the corner of the staircase, and a twisted monster squirmed down, its upper body was humanoid, its blue-black skin was like a dead corpse, a maggot's head grew around its neck, and its entire face was a large, ring-shaped mouth with layers of ring-shaped teeth scattered in its mouth. Below its waist are dozens of wriggling tentacles, and there are countless parasitic maggots crawling around on the tentacles, which are disgusting to look at.

One of the monster's tentacles was held high, and a person was hanging, it was the city lord. At this time, she had not yet swallowed her breath, but she had been tortured into an inhuman form, her body was crawling with maggots, and several tentacles had penetrated into her body from her mouth, ears, nose and even her lower body, making her writhe in pain, but she could only make a "hmm" sound!

"Ahh Looking at the tragic situation of the city lord, Jia Jia screamed sharply, she is also a woman, she empathizes with the pain of the city lord! With a flick of her left hand, an emerald green whip suddenly appeared, the tip of the whip was full of barbs, and the sound of breaking through the air was loud, and the long whip was like a dancing snake whipping towards the monster.

Smack, the long whip was whipped on the monster, but the monster didn't move, and there was not even a scratch on the body, but the long whip suddenly withered and corroded, and a black gas hit Jiajia along the whip, Jiajia exclaimed and threw the long whip down.

The monster suddenly opened its huge mouth and let out a scream at Jiajia and Bai Ye, the two of them only felt an unstoppable shock ripple emptying out, and they flew up involuntarily, hitting the wall with a bang, and suddenly collapsed to the ground, unable to get up, and the vertical pupils on Bai Ye's forehead were burst open by this impact, and they almost fainted in pain. The monster just hit it casually, and the two of them were thrown into a catastrophe, so powerful that it simply subverted Bai Ye's cognition.

"Hahaha" A person's laughter suddenly came from the corner: "It tastes good, right?" ”

Bai Ye opened his bloodshot eyes vigorously and looked at the person: "It turned out to be you?" Hong Peng! You have betrayed the lord of the city, and you have betrayed the humans! ”

"Hahaha, I'm just making arrogant humans realize reality. Now I solemnly introduce to you, my great master, Beelzebub, king of maggots from Ethiopia! ”

The Maggot King let out a shrill laugh and said to Hong Peng, "Bring them here, they will be the best incubator for my baby's eggs." ”

Hong Peng walked towards the two with a cruel smile, Jiajia whimpered and said to Bai Ye: "Bai Ye, I'...... I'm scared, I don't want to die so ugly. ”

Bai Ye suddenly pulled the hourglass pendant off his neck and comforted Jiajia: "Don't worry, we will die peacefully." ”

Hong Peng was stunned: "What is this?" ”

"This is 'time'!" As he spoke, Bai Ye smashed the hourglass fiercely, his young face instantly turned extremely old, and the golden light emitted from the hourglass instantly spread throughout the building!

The monster Beelzebub cried out, "Time Realm? That's impossible! Then he was overwhelmed by the golden light.

In the realm of time, hundreds of millions of years have passed in an instant. All matter, including the White Night, turned into dust.

It's all over, the king of maggots is gone, all the maggots are gone, and the ruins of the city are silent again.

However, no one saw that the golden light did not dissipate, but swept through the soul of the white night, shattering the void and entering the long river of time that the gods could not set foot in.
