Chapter 1: The Throne of Hell
It's a ruined city.
The light of the fire shrouded the area like a cage.
The debris of a fighter jet, the wreckage of a tank, the plasma car sunk deep into a tall building, the distorted street electronic screen. Countless black-lacquered high-rise buildings stood diagonally, and thick smoke poured out endlessly, and from time to time there were flames and electric lights.
The most terrifying thing was the beast scratches that tore through the entire building. The image of a roaring beast of hell waving its claws across the floor comes to mind.
The black giant tombstone, like a black sun, is suspended in the sky, emitting a round of dim light, making everyone who looks at it feel a trace of coolness in their hearts.
The whole city was filled with black gas, like death in the abyss of hell, giving people an eerie and terrifying feeling.
Sky Blue Zone, that's what the city used to be called. It is one of the nine major economic centers of Huaxia and has a cultural history of 5,000 years.
Among the ruins of high-rise buildings, huge black shadows as high as small mountains are shuttling. A body taller than a mountain, a head more hideous than a monster, limbs stronger than a beast, and claws sharper than a vulture. Such a terrifying monster is simply an existence born for destruction.
No one knows what these creatures are, only that they have a common name...... Uncultivated.
At the end of the Twenty-ninth Era, a huge black tombstone suddenly appeared in the sky. Immediately afterwards, countless black shadows sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and it took only three years to destroy the human world, which had reached the peak of science and technology culture.
Nearly ninety percent of the territory was under the rule of the desolate.
Of course, it also includes this area, which was once the most prosperous cultural and economic sky.
But at this moment, a dark shadow seemed to be chasing something.
The tall figure of a hill moves rapidly, and everywhere it passes, whether it is a ruined building or a street floor, it is trampled into gravel. Every time the beast's claws stepped on the ground, countless rubbles were splashed, and countless cracks spread along with its footprints.
And in front of it, there was a thin figure.
This is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy with neat facial features, sharp edges and corners, and a pair of dark and agile eyes hidden under his straight eyebrows like a sword. With a flexible posture, every time under the raging giant claws of the wilderness, he can dodge in advance.
Like a puppy, the boy's movements seem to be at ease.
With the sweep of the sharp claws, five long scratches were left on the walls of the steel giant, almost clinging to the young man's body, and they were wiped over.
"A beast is a beast."
The corners of the young man's mouth showed a disdainful smile at this time.
As soon as he turned sideways, he kicked his feet against the wall and kicked violently, and the whole thing rushed out like a cannonball.
In the next second, the tiny figure had already penetrated the barren body and landed on the ground in the distance.
In the slender palm, she held a light blue crystal, and in the air, Yingying released some kind of unknown ray.
"Two hundred and seventy-one."
The young man's face was indifferent, and he actually threw this crystal block, which was only the size of a finger, into the backpack behind him, as if he was discarding a miscellaneous object.
At the moment when the crystal fell to the backpack, the giant monster behind the young man suddenly burst into flames at this moment, and its hideous body let out two terrible cries with a whimper, completely turning into ashes.
These blue crystals taken out of Ara's body are Ara's only weakness. As long as this thing is not removed, no matter how many injuries are made, Ara can heal again.
Destroying or taking out these crystals, is the only way to kill the wilderness.
In addition to this, at night, the glow of the blue crystals is exceptionally bright. Like the small backpack behind the boy, it can almost illuminate the range of 100 meters. In this apocalyptic environment, it is especially useful.
This is also the reason why the boy wants to collect blue crystals.
The boy wiped his finger with his finger the nose that had been covered with dust from the battle. The gray cloth robe swayed gently in the wind.
"The place that Old Man Fu said should be the front."
Looking at the ruins of the tall buildings that were gradually thinning in front of him, the young man muttered to himself.
The boy's name is Mo Tian. Growing up in an orphanage, he is very independent and self-reliant in a high-tech world, and he can take charge of himself from a very young age. Even if the "famine" comes, and the human population is almost extinct, he can live like Xiaoqiang.
"Fortunately, I kept an eye on it and sent Xiao Xuan here to do something, otherwise I might not be able to protect so many people at the same time."
Xiao Xuan, formerly known as Yi Xuan, is Mo Tian's girlfriend. When the catastrophe came, Mo Tian found an excuse to send Yi Xuan and his friends to the Sky Blue Campus, a place that he thought was relatively safe.
"Fortress of War...... Is that the biggest refuge in Huaxia Country? Mo Tian half-squinted his eyes, looked at the magnificent building faintly in the distance, and thought to himself.
Since the advent of desolation, even the most prosperous cities have become ruins in an instant. In the midst of the chaos, only seven large "shelters" emerged from the survivors' field of vision. According to the spread of the last batch of photoelectric messages, these seven shelters have become a paradise in the hearts of all.
And the Sky Blue Campus, according to his intelligence, happens to be near the war fortress, if there is really a catastrophe, it is definitely the first rescue target, and it is the safest place.
Mo Tian raised his hands and quietly put on the hood again, hiding his face under the hat.
Dressed in black robes, walking in the wind, full of mystery.
Soon, he passed through the end of the city and came to a vast black land.
This is an extremely barren land. Thousands of kilometers of land, there is only endless black mud, and there is no end in sight. A strong foul smell was constantly emitted in the air along this disgusting land.
In this extremely barren land, even the crow, an extremely adaptable animal, is nowhere to be seen.
In addition to this black land, there is only a gate more than ten meters wide.
"Is this it?" Mo Tian, who was covered in a black robe, raised his head slightly, and the hood draped on his head slowly faded as he raised his head.
In front of him, it is more appropriate to have two pillars than a gate. Only the one suspended in the air, engraved with the plaque of 'War Fortress', silently proves its identity.
"The power of the enchantment?"
Mo Tian slowly walked under a gate, looked up at the ten-meter-high gate pillar, and touched his right hand on its surface. The rough texture and cold stone surface indicate the long history of this gatepost.
However, just as his palm covered it, the ten-meter-high stone pillar suddenly changed.
Like ripples, ripples and waves, countless lines began to emerge and roll in the place where Mo Tian touched, like stones thrown into the pool, setting off stormy waves on the surface of the lake, surging violently. The rolling earth began to shake, and cracks gradually appeared in the surrounding ground, spreading out along the center of the doorpost.
At this moment, the space in front of Mo Tian suddenly rippled.
"If this thing breaks down, young man, you can't afford to pay for it."
An arm stretched out from the depths of the ripples and directly pushed away Mo Tian's palm placed on the stone pillar. Immediately after, a figure walked out of the converging ripple space.
It was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a mature face full of beards, holding a wine jug in his hand, looking at him with a smile.
Looking at the mature man who walked out of the space, Mo Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, gently lowered his half-raised arm, and looked at him with a smile.
"Finally willing to come out, I thought there was no one to guard here."
The middle-aged man couldn't laugh or cry. There is no one to guard such an important place, who believes it?
"Young people don't have such a short temper, they play with breaking down the door or something at every turn, it's really not good."
He shook his head helplessly, patted Mo Tian on the shoulder, and sighed.
Mo Tian's action just now seemed simple, just putting his palm against the stone pillar, but in fact it was very dangerous, if he appeared half a step later, the entire barrier covering the fortress of war would be completely wiped out.
"If I don't do this, will you come out so soon?" Mo Tian ignored his words and said with a smile.
The middle-aged man was dumbfounded.
It seems like that's what happened.
Although from a certain point of view, Mo Tian's behavior is very violent, but it has to be said that this is the fastest way for them, the gatekeepers, to appear.
"Forget it, for the sake of not causing any serious consequences, I'll let you kid go this time." The middle-aged man hesitated, shook his head, and said helplessly.
"This is not the place to talk, if you want to find Dean Fu, just follow me in."
As he spoke, the middle-aged man turned around and lightly swiped his palm in front of him, and suddenly the void seemed to be torn apart, and a dark and deep spatial passage appeared.
Mo Tian was slightly stunned and said in surprise: "You know me?" How do you know I'm here for the old man? ”
The middle-aged man's footsteps paused, and he turned his head, his expression seemed to be more ugly than crying.
"Can I not know you? That old guy runs to me every day with your picture and asks if you're here or something, so that I almost think you're a daddy. ”
"......" Mo Tian was quite speechless, and he was quite sympathetic in his heart. After all, when he met an immeasurable old man like Old Man Fu, he was unlucky.
Thinking that at the beginning, Mo Tian himself was entangled by Old Man Fu for half a year, and finally he couldn't stand it, so he made a nonsense agreement with the other party to come to him after a year.
However, what made Mo Tian happy was that Old Man Fu did not lie to him, and sure enough, less than three months after that, the cataclysm broke out completely. dragged the other party's blessing, the only girlfriend who made him feel at ease, and there would be no personal safety.
"Let's go inside."
The middle-aged man lifted the wine jug, took a big sip of the liquor in the jug, then wiped his slightly damp beard, turned his head and said to Mo Tian.
Mo Tian nodded lightly, stepped forward directly, and stepped into the dark and deep passage in front of him, without the slightest hesitation.
After seeing Mo Tian enter the passage, the middle-aged man drank two sips of the liquor in the pot again, and then put down the wine pot and stepped into Mo Tian's footsteps.
