Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was eight years, and it was the tenth year of the end times.

The situation of humanity has not changed for the better in the past few years, and it has begun to be difficult again, many bases have lost contact one after another, and there are fewer and fewer bases that can occasionally be used in a row around the world.

It's not that something went wrong, it's that humanity isn't progressing fast enough.

When the low-level insect sea gradually became ineffective, humans found a way to restrain it, and each advent of the Zerg began to develop towards the release of high-level insects. Although the number of bugs has greatly decreased, the average combat power has increased exponentially.

When the strength reaches the fifth order or above, the crowd tactics often fail to achieve the desired effect, and after the sixth-order insect descends, it begins to be minimal. A high-level bug, even if there is only one, is often on the verge of destruction if there is no one of comparable strength who can restrain it. Therefore, whether a base can survive depends on how many real masters there are.

In this case, many bases are not qualified, and their subsequent destruction is inevitable.

But Ling Chen knew that it was the base that was destroyed, not the people, the base was gone, and the people who lived in it must have moved to the wild.

There, there are higher-level mutated creatures, whose level of evolution has surpassed that of humans in an all-round way. The space in the slit is small, but the intelligent humans are enough for them to find room to survive.

One by one, the bases gradually lost contact, and they can still be contacted by Ling Chen, but there is no one on the mainland of Huaguo except Xijing and Hanwu City, and the Hanwu base is still defended with the help of Ling Chen. There is a price to be paid for this.

The only good news is Xijing's sphere of influence. It's not just a base in Xijing. The surrounding hundreds of kilometers of vast forests are also dotted with a large number of human colonies, which are protected by Xijing as the center. At this time, the Tianci Sect was in full swing in the west, and countless people joined the sect, and thus gained an increase in strength, and then became loyal to the Tianci Sect, and formed the east and west poles with the eastern forces led by Ling Chen.

This was something Ling Chen hadn't expected beforehand, and it seemed that the sect leader still had some skills. He didn't care. This is a good thing for human beings.

In the face of the increasing pressure of the Zerg, the number of insects above the fourth order began to increase, and the coastal forces had to expand to the south to Nandao and the north to Liaodao, so they had to shrink again, and even in the end, the two cities of Nanjing and Hangzhou were forced to give up. Of course, by the time of abandonment, a large number of ships had been built, and most of the people who had been rescued by the local search and rescue had been evacuated with them.

And the power in Ling Chen's hands at this time seems to have returned to before it expanded, just one more Poyang Lake. The territory hasn't gotten much bigger, though. But the strength is several times stronger, and it has continued to develop in recent years. The Dragon-Blood Warriors have almost developed into a national bloodline, otherwise it would not be possible to occupy a few cities all the time, and they can still hold on in the face of a large number of high-level bugs.

In the moonlight of the night, a three-storey villa flowed in a circle around it, and the shining light flickered and flickered, very beautiful, five children playing in the courtyard, four men and two women, about eight years old, chasing each other, and laughing happily from time to time.

One of the children suddenly stopped and looked at his window: "Daddy is looking at the moon again, and he seems to like to see the moon very much, and he has to watch it for a while every day." ”

It was Ling Chen's eldest child Ling Yi who spoke, that is, the baby eight years ago, although he suddenly became the eldest son, which made Dongfang Yue a little unhappy, but he didn't care too much about knowing the child's true identity. Ling Chen usually treats him better than several other children, and it is rare that this child also cares about Ling Chen very much, and some of his actions will be discovered by this child.

"Daddy likes to watch the moon, let's leave him alone, brother hurry up and come over to play." A little girl beckoned to him.

"Oh!" Ling Yi agreed, and joined in the play of a few more children.

Diagonally above them, Ling Chen stood in front of the window, looking at the bright full moon. There is no joy or anger in my heart, but there is a faint longing.

It's been almost ten years, and there is still no news from Suliya, except for emails that come back at an irregular time to prove her existence, and she has completely disappeared. Ling Chen also complained that the other party was so ruthless, if he had any request, he could say it directly, even if he went up the knife mountain and went down to the oil pot, as long as he put it forward, he would try his best to do it, so what's the matter. Later, I gradually calmed down and turned this longing into a habit.

"What, still thinking about her?" Dongfang Yue's faint voice with some jealousy came from behind, "I'm afraid you will never miss us so much." ”

Ling Chen turned around, hugged her delicate body into his arms with a smile, and slapped her buttocks heavily: "What do you say, if you disappear, I will think of you the same, this is punishment just now." ”

Dongfang Yue showed a charming smile, her eyes crossed Ling Chen, and she happened to see the children playing below: "Xiao Yi is so old in a blink of an eye, but no matter what, Xiao Yang is our real eldest son, don't be so good to Xiao Yi in the future, the other children have opinions." ”

Ling Chen's face sank slightly, and then improved: "Don't say this kind of thing in the future, Xiao Yi is also our child." I don't think the other children have opinions, it's you who have opinions. ”

Seeing that Ling Chen seemed a little angry, Dongfang Yue hurriedly kissed him: "I'm just reminding you, otherwise I'm afraid you really want to treat him as an eldest son, and the other children haven't seen you so spoiled." ”

“…… I know. Ling Chen nodded.

At this time, the voices of several children came from the door.

"Daddy, Daddy, Auntie is here."

Aunt refers to Elori, the little Lori of the year is now a big girl, and she still holds a kitten in her arms, but I don't know how many Meow Pas numbers this is.

"Why are you coming to me so late?" Ling Chen greeted him with a smile.

"Brother, I have something to say to you, just the two of us." Elori comforted the few children who pounced on her, put them on the ground, and said solemnly to Ling Chen.

"Okay!"

Ling Chen let Elori to an unoccupied room and sat down at random, "Just say something, you seem to be preoccupied." ”

Elori's face changed a few times, and she looked a little hesitant, and finally looked at Ling Chen and finally said, "Tomorrow the dragon diving tour is about to start, I don't know if I should confess to him." Luo Li bit her lip and looked at Ling Chen.

The time for the seventh-order insect to descend is approaching, and Long Qianyou is about to lead the team to leave again and go to Shanzhou Island to guard.

"Oh?" Ling Chen smiled, "If you like it, then you can confess, what's there to hesitate about, do you want me to cheer you up?" (To be continued......)
