Chapter 9: Anxiety
When the earth's catastrophe struck, Liu Yifu was still a fresh graduate who was tossing and turning for a job, with average grades and no background, and he still achieved nothing after experiencing a wall, and he was like countless people who felt that life was boring and had nothing to look forward to, and from time to time he would think that it would be better to end the real world with an apocalypse.
Then, the end of the day really came......
When he really faced the end of the world, those who were looking forward to the end began to wail and cry again, the only difference between Liu Yifu and these people is that he is stronger and more sensitive...... Many people died that day, too many to count, and those who survived faced an even more helpless future.
Liu Yifu, who hid in an underground parking lot in a suburb, was lucky, but he was also unlucky. He and a group of people avoided the first devastating blow to Earth in an underground parking lot on the outskirts. The roars and explosions, as well as the last bit of information available on the Internet, showed that more than ninety percent of the planet's cities were destroyed that day.
All available signals were interrupted one after another, mobile phones and computers became stand-alone toys, and the Internet era was gone.
They then hid in the three-story parking lot, relying on a small department store for several days until they were caught by a group of green goblins, and the real nightmare began in earnest.
"We're not just coolies, we're even food."
Liu Yifu had red eyes and tried his best to make his language coherent, but when it came to urgency, he still couldn't control his angry tone.
"After that, I didn't know what was going on elsewhere, but after we were caught by the goblins, we were kept in captivity, and most of the time we were doing extremely laborious things, demolishing entire cities, moving resources, and even mining...... Pulling a cart is an easy thing, but obviously there are some machinery that can be used, and there are still many intact vehicles at that time, but they would rather send them away and dismantle them as materials, and they don't give us any use, only let us manpower, and some people who can't bear it will be taken away by them, and in addition to sacrifices, more people are used as food. ”
"It's really ironic to say, human beings are also used as rare ingredients one day, and some children and beautiful women are even arranged to be eaten by special monsters on some special days, and we are helpless, there is nothing we can do, and those monsters even ask us to watch all this."
"We have no choice at all, many people give up and just want to live one day, one day."
"The goblin tribe that captured us has a population of more than a thousand, and the humans who were captured by them are more than two thousand, but after two months, there are less than five hundred left, if you look at the buildings and cultural level, they are a group of primitive garbage, but they are much stronger than humans in terms of strength alone, four-fifths of the population of a thousand are combat power, and far beyond ordinary people."
"During a large-scale sacrifice they were performing, the rest of us rebelled, and my arm was broken at that time, and the goblin who cut off my arm ended up eating my arm in front of me, but it didn't fall well, and I bit off half of his ear."
"Many people were killed that day as a meal for their victory, but I was left behind, and they told me that because I was different from everyone else, I was valuable and that I should be eaten on more important occasions. Xiao Yun'er was with me at that time, her parents were killed in that rebellion, and she was one of the few remaining children, supposedly left to wait for another big thing. ”
Liu Yifu looked at Wu Zixi, who seemed to be in deep thought, and paused slightly before continuing.
"For these monsters, we are all weak, but these may still be within the acceptable range, until that resistance fails, we still have hope, we feel that we can still wait for rescue, humanity will not all fall, until one day ......"
"It was strange that day, all the goblins didn't go out, they all gathered in that broken tribe they had built themselves, around a very strange pillar, and then ...... Then ......"
Speaking of this, Liu Yifu's face showed the first fear, even panic.
"A colorful light descended from the sky, the color was beautiful, but it made people feel hopeless, all the places that were illuminated by this light ended up being the scorched earth you see on the ground, and those goblins emitted a film of light around the kneeling pillars to block these lights, leaving the goblin tribe and a surrounding area, I don't know anything else, but since then, except for the goblin tribe, I have not seen a single green, nor have I seen a trace of humans, everything is gone."
"On that day, all of man's creation since the Bronze Age ceased to exist, and man not only returned to the Stone Age, but even became a captive poultry."
After saying all this, Liu Yifu's face was a little gloomy, he took a deep breath, tried to cheer himself up, and then showed a not very good-looking smile to Wu Zixi.
Wu Zixi had a cold face, and habitually scraped his eyebrows with the thumbnail of his left hand, which was his habit for many years, and every time he fell into thinking, his eyebrows felt a little tingling, which would relieve this stinging feeling.
"You just said that the goblins didn't kill you after you resisted, and told you that there was some other purpose for keeping you? Meaning, among these goblins, are there people who can speak our language? ”
"No, the language of these goblins is a low-level civilization in Aunt Jiang's words, their language composition is very simple, there are less than 12 syllable changes, Aunt Jiang was originally a professor of linguistics at XX University, so many times she is used as a translator for us to communicate with those goblins, relatively speaking, she is also the best one among all of us, sometimes she will be called by those goblins alone to do something light."
The Aunt Jiang that Liu Yifu said was the old woman that Wu Zixi felt weird, and now Wu Zixi is more wary of this old woman.
"When you rebelled, what was her identity?"
"Who? Aunt Jiang? She was one of the masterminds, and because of her dealings with those goblins, we kept a lot of people, otherwise more people would have died that time! ”
"So, now she has a high prestige among the rest of the people, right?"
"yes." Liu Yifu looked at Wu Zixi suspiciously, he somewhat heard Wu Zixi's suspicion of this old woman, "Aunt Jiang is a very good person, she often takes some food from goblins for us, you must know that those goblins usually give us very little food." ”
"You're a good guy." Wu Zixi frowned, he was thinking about a lot of things at this time, he wanted to ask more clearly, such as the overall combat quality of these goblins, the way they fight, how many people are still left in the goblin tribe now, since a large area has become scorched earth, what does the survival needs of the entire goblin population of a thousand people rely on to supply...... But he lacks time now, not to mention that this Liu Yifu doesn't know as much as that person, but that person doesn't necessarily say it.
This made Wu Zixi very anxious, after all, he was about to face the attack of hundreds of goblins.
"Go and rest, one day at most, those goblins will be killed."
