Technology!

This is the dependence of human beings for survival in the universe

Since the first industrial revolution of the Earth Age, the level of human science and technology has been growing wildly in a non-linear way.

At the same time, it is also growing in its ability to fight.

World War I, World War II. Less than 100 years later, World War III broke out......

Humanity has mastered technology beyond the limits of human control.

Civilization is destroyed! The remnants of humanity have forgotten about technology for a while.

After erasing the pain of the past, human beings who have experienced the charm of technology have once again set their greedy eyes on technology.

Therefore, out of the earth, out of the solar system, other planets of life other than humans were discovered.

Their greedy nature has made them like a swarm of locusts that have swept across the galaxy, becoming feared beings in the universe in less than tens of thousands of years.

All known alien races bow their heads at the feet of humanity and wag their tails and beg for mercy.

In the end, humanity is not satisfied with one era, and the megalomania of humanity shifts its goal to time, the past, and the future......

With the help of human beings, a device that can spy on time has finally been developed, but the nightmare of mankind is born.

A dangerous creature is awakened.

These creatures call themselves the gods of the ancients!

The technology that humanity prides itself on is so weak by the power of the Elder Gods that even humanity's most terrifying weapon, the artificial black hole that can destroy a galaxy, cannot damage the Elder Gods in the slightest.

Humanity has collapsed, and even humanity itself has mutated......

The moment the Elder Gods awoke, people found that their musculoskeletal muscles had softened, and they had finally become puddles of muddy creatures.

Only a few strong ones are able to slow down the rate of this mutation slightly. The era of mankind is coming to an end! There is no future for life, and the Supreme Council passed a resolution to send the last hope of mankind back to the past through a time machine, so that mankind can go to a different path at the fork in the road of development, change the future, and resist the ancient gods. …… Three hundred years ago, World War III broke out and the Earth was shattered. In just three years, the world's population has been almost wiped out.

Those who survived the powerful radiation found that their bodies were much better, in terms of strength, speed, cell activity, and skin toughness.

But the heavens did not give up and continue to punish humans, and it was not only humans who were mutated, but also other creatures.

These creatures evolved far more than humans, and thus, the slaughter began.

Bloody, crazy! Even the most ordinary sparrow can spread its wings and roll up the wind after mutation.

The human race, which had already been killed and wounded, was almost wiped out under this massacre.

But at the critical moment, a group of strong people appeared in the human race, they hunted these monsters, and used the remaining technological props to inject the genes in the bodies of those monsters into the human body, and then became more powerful.

In the end, humanity won the war between races with great difficulty and became the master of the earth again.

This period is known as the Dark Ages............ The central jurisdiction of the earth, the garbage dump of Zhuhai Town outside Galaxy City.

"Damn, this thing is disgusting......" On the garbage mountain, Chen Ran, who was soaked in sweat, was wearing a tattered and dirty clothes, holding a long tong in his hand, rummaging around in the garbage mountain looking for something valuable.

This is a thin teenager, a young face covered with dirt, but the eyes are exceptionally bright, even if he gritted his teeth at this time and stared at the mass in front of him that he didn't know what it was, but the stench still shone with sunshine and optimism.

"Life is getting harder! There's not much value to be done lately. A look of helplessness flashed through his eyes.

"Be careful, don't roll down again." There was an old man near Chen Ran, who was also carrying a large basket full of things such as cans and bottles.

Chen Ran stood up straight and showed a big smile: "Got it, Grandpa Roman." ”

"Chen Ran, come here! You see, there's a book there. The old man suddenly pointed to a place and whispered to Chen Ran.

"Books?" Chen Ran grinned, his face full of excitement, and was about to go to the place that the old man pointed to.

Suddenly, his feet stepped on the empty space, his body leaned forward with his weight down, and after a panic, he rolled down the garbage mountain. There was a burst of laughter from the nearby scavengers: "Chen Ran, this little guy accidentally rolled down again." ”

"Haha, this is the third time this week."

……

When dusk fell, a thin figure walked down the garbage mountain, covered in stinky sweat, so tired that he couldn't straighten his waist, and his arms were about to hang on the ground like soft noodles, Chen Ran limped into the garbage recycling station.

"Uncle Green, I'm here, see how much you can sell for today." Chen Ran put down the basket full of things behind him, sat on the ground and took a few breaths, found a towel full of stains and wiped the sweat on his face and neck.

Uncle Green of the garbage recycling station is a strong man, after seeing Chen Ran come in, he peeked into the back room with a thief's eyebrows, and then did not look at the basket, carefully opened the drawer, took out a few coins from the drawer, and secretly stuffed it to Chen Ran.

"Shh Uncle Green made a silencing gesture: "Take the extra money to Marianne and ask her to help you see, you've fallen three times this week." ”

Then he secretly took out a plastic bag from his body, which contained some powdered feed: "This thing is the reward you paid for helping me fix the water pipe last time, take it back to your cow, and when it can produce milk, your life will be much better." Uncle Green can only give you so much, and you also know that your Aunt Lilian is more picky, don't let her know! ”

"The ......"

"Don't do that, take it for me quickly, or I'll be finished when your Aunt Lilian sees it later." Uncle Green pushed Chen Ran out of the house, and Chen Ran walked out of the garbage station with a depressed face.

"I actually wanted to say that Aunt Lilian was watching you quietly behind your back. Poor Uncle Green, I'm afraid I won't be able to go to bed tonight, right? ”

Uncle Green's screams and a shrill cry could be heard from the dump: "I said don't hide anything from me!" Do you really think the old lady is so stingy? ”

"I was wrong, wife!"

……

After Chen Ran left the garbage dump, he did not go to the town to find the doctor Aunt Marianne, and returned home directly.

His house is near the dump, in a dilapidated shack with a cow with whom he sleeps every day.

Normally, Chen Ran at this time was full of exhaustion, but today he only had excitement and joy on his face.

Because he picked up a broken book with only a few pages left in the garbage dump.

"Lazy Cow, look what I picked up today!"

Chen Ran pushed open the door that was so tattered that it was about to fall, patted the cow's head with a smile on his face, and carefully took out the broken book from his clothes, for fear that he would damage the book if he moved too much.

The cow rubbed its head in his arms and croaked softly.

"Eh, don't spoil my baby!"

Chen Ran hurriedly put the book behind him, and took out a small plastic bag from his bag, which contained a small amount of cattle feed.

"Boss Green of the garbage dump is really a good person, knowing that I raised you as a fool, and secretly stuffed me with a little feed on Aunt Lilian's back today, but unfortunately Aunt Lilian saw it. Tomorrow, poor Uncle Green will probably not see anyone. Thinking of the picture he might see tomorrow, Chen Ran couldn't help laughing.

However, the cow, which smelled the feed, did not care about this, barked again, and rubbed its nose over the clinker belt containing the feed. Chen Ran knew that it was hungry, so he brought in some hay from outside the house and mixed the cow feed inside.

After dealing with the uncle's food problems, Chen Ran took out a black, hard, and slightly rancid bread from a wooden box on the bed, and hastily ate a few bites and began his routine.

Count the money!

Chen Ran is not a beggar, nor does he make a living by picking up rags. There was a small plot of land behind his house, enough to feed him and the cows that depended on him.

But in order to make as much money as possible, Chen Ran went to sell vegetables in the morning, went to the town at noon to see if there were any odd jobs to do, and in the afternoon he went to the garbage dump to find something of some value and sell it to Uncle Green.

He needs money, lots and lots of money. Since he was a child, Chen Ran has had a dream to help people in need, just like the strong people who rose in the dark ages as adults said. If you want to become a warrior in this era, you must first inject some demon beast genes, and only those who have successfully fused the demon beast genes can become stronger and become the mainstay of the human world.

But gene injections are expensive, and ordinary families may have spare money to buy the lowest genetic injections, but they are not willing to. The danger of fusing genes is great, and the best case scenario of failure is that the injection is ineffective. The newspapers that Chen Ran often finds from the garbage write about who and who failed to inject genetic potions and exploded. Therefore, there are very few evolutionary martial artists, and ordinary families will not let their children take this risk.

Chen Ran is not afraid, it is his dream to become a martial artist. But he didn't have the financial means. He didn't know who his father was, his mother died when he was very young, and everything was on his own.

Carefully rummaging under the bed made of tattered wooden planks, there was a pit underneath, and the pit was covered with a layer of hay to block the small wooden box hidden in the pit.

Inside was all his savings from childhood to adulthood, a card, and a dozen coins.

"I sold vegetables and sold five star coins this morning, and at noon I helped Aunt Fina repair the roof and gave me eight star coins, and Uncle Green was very generous today and gave me six star coins." Chen Ran said to the cows that were grazing with a touched face: "Well, everyone is a good person, and they know that I don't want to ask for their alms, so they will keep me for help if they have anything." "The cows continue to graze, indifferent.

With a smile on his face, he put today's harvest into a small wooden box, and Chen Ran hid the box again.

"It's coming, it's coming! I'm still close to buying the lowest genetic injections, and then I'll be eligible to go to school! ”

Laughing and laughing, he suddenly thought of something, and his immature face showed worry.

He picked up a worn-out newspaper from the side of his bed, dated three months ago.

"The newspaper said that the human army was defeated in the third battlefield outside the solar system and retreated to Pluto. I don't know how it's now......"

Chen Ran calmly looked at the cows grazing and muttered, "Mom said that she hopes her son can become a hero. I don't want to disappoint my mom, I want to go to school early and learn my skills early. Then graduate early and leave the earth early......"

"Stupid cow, will you come with me?" xh118
