Chapter 1: The Candlelight of the Last Days
The sky gradually darkened, and the originally bustling and lively city was now as silent as death, and countless figures were swaying and wandering in the streets and alleys of the entire city.
The figures staggered with steps, like old men in the twilight, but there were bursts of beast-like roars from their mouths, and such low roars were particularly permeable in the middle of the night.
The lights that should have been in the whole city have long since disappeared, and the only light is the raging flames burning everywhere in the city, and the breath of human civilization is completely drowned out by this broken and desolate scene.
Under the illumination of the flames, the figures of the one by one became clearly visible, and the broken and pale cheeks were stained with purple-black blood everywhere.
One of the figures, which had lost half of their heads, was crawling with white maggots, and the maggots writhed their snow-white bodies through his body, but the figure didn't notice, or rather, it didn't care, still shaking its head and wandering around.
In the cracks of the messy cement pile of a collapsed office building, a faint fire flickered and dimmed, and the entrance to a narrow gap was blocked with a broken piece of cement.
Although the gap is extremely narrow, if you crawl, you can still barely let people pass.
The narrow passage leads to the bottom of the office building, and the closer you get to the bottom of the building, the faint light of the fire becomes brighter.
At the end of the narrow passageway, there was a slightly larger space, which was just as narrow, but still large enough for an adult or two to sit up.
A half-finger-long white candle on the ground emitted a faint glow, completely illuminating the small space.
Jiang Hao seemed to feel a little cold, pulled the quilt that covered the bed on his body that was stained with black blood everywhere, and at the same time hugged the little girl in his arms tighter, the little girl twisted her body, found a comfortable position in Jiang Hao's arms, and continued to sleep deeply.
Although the tattered quilt exuded a disgusting stench at the moment, Jiang Hao didn't care, his eyes looked at the flickering candlelight, and his mind was full of doubts.
The occasional explosions outside, and the roars of wild beasts, made his brow furrow.
Through the gaps, you can still see the wandering figures outside, the broken faces...... Stagger pace...... Coupled with the low roar coming out of his mouth, Jiang Hao naturally wouldn't think that it would be a normal living person.
"What's the situation? Where is this? Dreams? What are those things? Eschatological? Zombie??? ”
Jiang Hao casually grabbed a piece of glass on the ground and stabbed it into his arm, pinching his thigh or slapping or something, it couldn't dispel his doubts about the situation at the moment, only in this simple and rude way could he determine whether he was dreaming or not.
A trace of blood, accompanied by a piercing pain, made him a spirit, and his eyes were full of incredulity.
"Crossing? Eschatological? Don't be so bloody! Even if you cross over, shouldn't you travel to a high-martial arts world, and then have the talent against the sky and the old man with you, hang all kinds of geniuses, and pretend to force bubble girls? ”
"Or travel to the world of the empress, be a little white face for the empress, and conquer all kinds of teasing, and from then on, the power and beauty will reach the pinnacle of life? What kind of routine is this one that you crossed? Time in time to the end times? And then become a zombie's dinner? ”
Jiang Hao grabbed the glass in his hand and looked at himself in the glass, with clear edges and corners, fairly delicate facial features, in his early twenties, his messy hair was shiny and slippery, and he didn't know how long he hadn't washed his hair, plus the stubble of his beard, and the dark green military coat on his body, with his melancholy eyes at the moment, he looked like a sharp brother.
But what made him feel a little relieved was that it was clearly still his own appearance, which made his original hanging heart let go a lot.
He couldn't change the fact of crossing over, but he didn't want to cross into someone else's body, or simply become a woman, which would make him even more desperate than crossing into the end times.
Looking at his arm that was scratched by the glass, Jiang Hao began to feel a little annoyed at his recklessness.
If this is really the apocalyptic world, not to mention scratching your arm, there is nothing to bandage, and this world may be full of viruses, if you are not careful, you will be infected with the virus and become a zombie because of this action, then it will really be a calf.
Jiang Hao's eyes looked around, wanting to find something clean to deal with the wound, but where can I find this place, I thought about it for a long time, gritted my teeth, and had to stick out my tongue to lick the wound, and the pit I dug was about to be licked with tears.
He didn't want to be the first traverser in history to be killed by himself, it is said that saliva can be disinfected, and I don't know if it's true or not, but at the moment there is only this way, it's better than doing nothing, fortunately, his arm is not too dirty, and it can be regarded as a blessing in misfortune.
"Huh? What is this? ”
It wasn't until this moment that Jiang Hao found out that he was wearing a watch on his wrist, which should be a smart watch to be precise, with a matchbox-sized display perfectly embedded in the watch.
Except for the display, which is made of transparent material, the rest of the parts are actually made of a silver-white metal material, and the whole watch is completely a whole, Jiang Hao tried and couldn't remove the watch from his wrist at all.
After trying several times in vain, he had to give up the idea of removing the watch, anyway, it was just a watch, and it didn't have any effect on himself, and at this time Jiang Hao began to look at the monitor of the watch.
I saw that it was densely filled with all kinds of information.
When: October 22, 2065! It has been 75 days since the outbreak of the virus.
Location: Luo Cheng! Tianmao Building B1 parking lot! Coordinates 2541154.126544.
Map: The map system is complete, and it can only be woken up by binding the host
Precision radar: The radar system is complete and can only be woken up by host binding.
Database: Corrupted! The data are 99% missing, and 1% of the data is currently remaining.
Manufacturing Plant: Damaged! The degree of damage is 100%, and the current manufacturing capacity is 0 (the collection of database data reaches 10%, and the first-level manufacturing is opened!) )。
Energy Remaining: 1%! Please recharge in time!
Host Information: None
(Note: The specified NDA has been burned into the core permission verification, and only the uniquely specified DNA can be bound.)
After reading the information, Jiang Hao's brows furrowed even more.
"What is this? High-tech gadgets? Alien products? What the hell is it that only the only DNA can be bound? Does it mean that only designated people can enable access rights? How can that end up in your own hands? ”
Jiang Hao was about to wipe the drop of blood that he accidentally dripped on the monitor clean, and it looked clearer, when he suddenly found that the display screen had changed, and a few lines of small red words had reappeared.
"Drop! Please wait for a moment when fresh blood is found, and the DNA is collected......"
"Drop! The DNA collection is complete, please wait for comparison with the core permission DNA......"
"Drop! DNA alignment is completed, and the overlap between the collected DNA and the core DNA is 100%! The binding program is automatically opened, and the binding begins! …… Host binding complete! At the same time, the host is injected with mutagenic genes to improve the host genes! Estimated renovation time is 8 hours! Please wait a minute......"
Jiang Hao was completely confused by the series of messages, and before he could react, he saw that the watch stretched out a needle-like thing and pierced directly into his arm, and suddenly his brain was dizzy, and he didn't have time to react, so he fell asleep groggily.
