Chapter 1: The Disaster of Hengcheng
The blood stains on Ning Qiu's cheeks had already solidified, and he stood at the cabin window, looking at Hengcheng who was gradually moving away from sight, and his mind kept echoing what his father had said to him when he left.
"Don't worry, son, your dad won't die so easily."
He raised his right hand and grasped the black bead that hung around his neck, which his father had given him before leaving.
In the transport plane were more than 300 boys, girls and children his age.
Most of them were crying, choking, and even wailing. A few others were exhausted and fell asleep with terrible nightmares.
About an hour later, the transport plane carried them to a strange city, Nandu.
"This Hengcheng incident is rare in a century, except for the more than 300 children who have been successfully transferred to the southern capital, the whole city has been annihilated......" The middle-aged man's eyes were bloodshot, and in addition to sadness and exhaustion, there was also fear of the disaster.
This is the tallest building in Nandu, and it is also the most magnificent and sacred, an old man about seventy years old stood by the window, looking down on the whole city, and the wrinkles on his face couldn't help but deepen.
After a long time, he spoke: "Children over the age of sixteen will be arranged to the Apocalypse Academy, and the rest will be handed over to the adoption home." ”
The middle-aged man nodded and sighed deeply, although Hengcheng is only a small city and cannot be compared with Nandu, but in just a few days, it is too terrible to say that annihilation is annihilation.
This is the last days.
An era when zombies are rampant and people are fish.
One year later......
In the Apocalypse Academy, Ning Qiu was sleeping on the desk, although Han Shiyu, who was at the same table, tried to wake him up several times, but this guy slept like a dead man and did not react.
"Don't push Shiyu, let him sleep. People like this should have stayed in Hengcheng in the first place, so as not to waste food in the southern capital. Even though I have already experienced disasters, I still don't know how to study hard and strive to become an awakened person and contribute to the future of mankind. Like this kind of moth, most of them will be a low-level soldier in the future, serving as cannon fodder, and they will eventually die in the mouth of zombies. On the podium, the head teacher said unceremoniously.
"Teacher, please correct your words, this is the academy, don't talk about Hengcheng." Pang Xiaobo stood up and said with a serious and serious face.
The head teacher also realized that what he said was over, when the children of Hengcheng entered the college, the dean repeatedly instructed all the teachers not to mention the word "Hengcheng" in front of the children of Hengcheng, especially the disaster in Hengcheng.
Pang Xiaobo looked at Ning Qiu, who was still asleep, and his face was a little sad. Since he came to Nandu and entered the Apocalypse Academy, his academic performance has plummeted, and his ranking has become the last in his class.
He clearly remembered that since he was a child, Ning Qiu's grades were the top in the class, and he didn't think it would be an exaggeration to say that he was a top student.
But since the Hengcheng disaster, Ning Qiu has often been distracted, and he used to always like to cause trouble, but he suddenly became extremely quiet, or withdrawn.
"Brother Qiu, have you heard? There is a thief and beautiful teacher from our academy, from the alliance, who is hot, why don't we go and take a look? After school, Pang Xiaobo followed Ning Qiu, always saying things that he thought would interest him.
"Go by yourself, I'd like to take a nap." Ning Qiu shook his head.
"Uh......" Pang Xiaobo was speechless on the spot, and then said, "I heard that Zhou Fu and a young master of the Han family have been very close these days, Brother Qiu, should you ......?"
Before Pang Xiaobo finished speaking, he found that Ning Qiu suddenly stopped.
At this time, a beautiful woman appeared in front of them at some point, and this woman was Zhou Fu that Pang Xiaobo said just now.
I saw that there was another man beside Zhou Fu, who was Han Chaofeng, the young master of the Han family.
Zhou Fu's face changed slightly after seeing Ning Qiu, but after she glanced at Han Chaofeng beside her, she resolutely took his hand and walked past Ning Qiu.
Pang Xiaobo felt a little angry, he always thought that this matter was just a rumor, but he didn't expect it to be true.
Ning Qiu saw his Zhou Fu holding the arms of other men and passing by, seemingly unconcerned on the surface, but extremely angry in his heart.
Zhou Fu was born in a small family in Hengcheng and has a very good status in Hengcheng, plus Zhou Fu's father and his father are friends of life and death, so they have a marriage contract at a very young age.
In the past, Zhou Fu and Ning Qiu had a very good relationship, they had a good impression of each other, and they were absolutely pro-plum sweethearts.
But who would have thought that after the Hengcheng disaster, only one year after coming to Nandu, Zhou Fu immediately climbed the high branches.
The night was already dark, and Ning Qiu sat on the roof of the dormitory, looking at the distant east, thoughtful.
I don't know how long later, a slightly chubby man also came to the roof of the building, sat beside him, and accompanied him to look into the distance.
"Brother Qiu, do you know? When I was in Hengcheng before, I have always been very envious of you, you are handsome, you are popular with your sisters, your parents are awakened, and your family is rich. It's like me, I have no father or mother since I was a child, and I can only grow up in the adoptive dean. ”
Since coming to Nandu, Pang Xiaobo rarely mentioned the previous incidents, because the blow brought to Ning Qiu by the Hengcheng disaster was too great.
Thinking of that day, Ning Qiu's mother was bitten to death by zombies in order to save their children, and it was extremely bloody, and he witnessed the scene with his own eyes, and he didn't know how many nights he tossed and turned, and was awakened by nightmares.
Ning Qiu's father was a great awakened person, quite famous in Hengcheng, when the zombies invaded the city, he had to choose to leave him to fight the zombies, and his whereabouts are still unknown.
However, with the news of the annihilation of Hengcheng, as time passed, he also knew that it was almost impossible for his father to survive that devastating disaster.
From a happy family to an orphan, this kind of ups and downs caused Ning Qiu's heart to suffer a serious blow, making him collapse.
"Uncle Ning is my lifesaver, and my aunt takes good care of me, in my heart, I treat them as my parents and you as my brother." Pang Xiaobo was rescued by Ning Qiu's father during a mission, and he was only six months old at the time, and he would not remember everything that happened at all.
Listening to what Pang Xiaobo said, Ning Qiu's eyes regained a little brightness.
"In the disaster of Hengcheng, I lost my companions in the adoption home, lost my beloved dean, and lost the people around me who cared about me, only you are still by my side. So Brother Qiu, if you continue to be so decadent, I'm afraid that one day I will lose you. ”
Ning Qiu turned his head to glance at Pang Xiaobo, only to see that his eyes were shining in the distance, he had heard this fat man say these words for the first time.
"Why?"
Pang Xiaobo turned his head, looked at Ning Qiu very seriously, and said, "Because I have been determined to become an awakened person since I was a child, I don't want to be powerless when facing zombies. I don't want to watch zombies devour fellow humans, so I can only hide in a dark corner. I don't want my relatives and brothers to die in the mouths of zombies, and I can't do anything. ”
The Awakened, who stimulates the potential of the body and sublimates the soul through a certain method, can release incredible abilities, and even reach a certain realm, with the destructive means of falling apart.
The Awakened are the most important force of humanity against zombies, and it is also the hope of humanity.
"Auntie sacrificed herself to protect us, not so that we can survive in fear and decadence in the future, but in the hope that one day we can become people who stand up to the sky. Also, I don't believe that Uncle Ning will definitely die, but if you want to find him, you must have the ability to survive in the land of zombies. Pang Xiaobo stood up, took one last look at the dark east, and turned to leave.
What he said tonight was just to tell him what was going on in his heart, hoping that he would be able to cheer him up.
"The Awoken." After a long time, Ning Qiu sighed and muttered a whisper in his mouth.
