Chapter 3: The End of the World Is Coming

On September 1, 2017, this is a special point in time, after this day, the identity of human beings has undergone a major reversal, from the predator at the top of the food chain to the prey at the bottom of the food chain, struggling to survive in the dark apocalypse. In the last days, all laws and morals have been lost, and human nature is outrageously distorted. Natural selection, survival of the fittest, the weak become the food of the strong, and the strong become the food of the stronger.

Unbeknownst to humans all over the world, a global meteor shower has pulled humanity into the abyss of the end times. The meteor shower came suddenly, and the satellites of various countries were unaware, and even before Chen Mo's death, that is, five years after the end of the world, people could not be sure where the meteor shower came from. Although it is not known where the meteor shower came from, there is no doubt that his destination is Earth. After the end of the world, people call the meteor shower "The Chosen One", and the falling meteor is called "Xingzi", the star carries a large amount of unknown energy, and it suddenly erupts as soon as it falls to the ground, and all the creatures affected by the energy have undergone unknown mutations, and the vast majority of human beings have directly become walking corpses that only know how to kill and eat, which is called "zombies", and the animals and plants of the past have become the nightmare of the survivors - "mutants", and the survivors are struggling between zombies and mutants. What's even more terrifying is that the energy carried by the star is very contagious, and it is better to call it a virus than energy. If you are bitten by a zombie or a mutant, the bitten person will also turn into a zombie in an extremely short period of time.

Among these very few survivors, there are some lucky ones, but these lucky people have unimaginable power and status in the last days, these lucky people are called "chosen children" and also called "evolutionaries", and only these evolutionaries can confront the terrible zombies and mutants, it is because of these evolutionaries that human beings will not completely die out in the end times. If you want to master your destiny in this twisted apocalypse, you must become an "evolutionary". And if you want to become an "evolutionary", you must first become an "awakened one".

The so-called "awakened person" is a person who is opened in the brain domain by the burst of energy of the "star" at the time of the "Heavenly Chosen". After opening the brain domain, find the "star core" and absorb it, and finally generate the "star source" in the brain domain, you can become an "evolutionary".

The so-called "evolutionary", as the name suggests, is a person who can continue to evolve upwards and become stronger, and the way to become stronger is "energy crystal", energy crystal exists in the brain of zombies and mutants, and evolutionaries can continue to become stronger by constantly hunting zombie mutants and then devouring energy crystals, until they become the existence at the top of the pyramid.

However, the "energy crystal absorption rate" is different for each person. For the same piece of energy crystal, when the absorption rate of energy crystal is 100%, all the energy in this energy crystal can be absorbed by the evolutionary without any waste. When the absorption rate of energy crystals is 20%, only 20% of the energy in this energy crystal can really be absorbed by the evolutionary, and the remaining 80% of the energy will be consumed in the process of absorbing energy crystals.

The level of "energy crystal absorption rate" depends on the level of "brain domain development", and if the "brain domain development degree" is high, the "energy crystal absorption rate" is also high, and vice versa. The level of "brain domain development" is determined by "natural selection". In other words, the level of "brain domain development" depends on the will of God. If you are lucky, you will have a high degree of "brain domain development", and if you are unlucky, if you are unlucky, you will not be able to open the brain domain directly, and you can only be an ordinary person for the rest of your life, struggling at the bottom of the last days, at the bottom of the food chain.

Chen Mo's brain domain development in his previous life was only 40%, even if he put in several times more effort than others and experienced several times more life and death than others, but five years after the end of the world, he could only reach the peak of the fourth order. At that time, the few people standing at the top of the pyramid had become eighth-order existences.

The key to becoming an "evolutionary" is not only to open the brain domain and become an "awakened person", but also to have a "star core".

The so-called "star core" is a strange substance that fell to the ground with the "star child" during the "Heavenly Choice", after opening the brain domain to become the "awakened person", you need to find the "star core" and absorb it, and when the "star source" is generated in the brain domain, the "awakened person" can become an "evolutionary" and have the ability carried in the "star core". Depending on the "Star Core" obtained, the ability gained after becoming an "Evolver" will not be the same, and each person can only absorb one "Star Core".

Unlike human "evolutionaries", zombies and mutants do not need to absorb "star cores" to have abilities. Among zombies and mutants, those who are gifted will naturally comprehend their innate abilities in the process of advancement, although these innate abilities are strange, but they have one thing in common - the intensity is very high. According to the ability level of human evolutionaries, most of them are A-level or higher.

Five years after the end of the world, people divided abilities from weak to strong into nine levels - F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS, SSS. At the same time, people divide evolutionaries, zombies, and mutants into nine levels from weak to strong - first-order, second-order, third-order, fourth-order, fifth-order, sixth-order, seventh-order, eighth-order, and ninth-order.

Five years after the end of the world, the strongest evolutionary that Chen Mo had ever heard of was an eighth-order evolutionary, and until Chen Mo died, there was not a single ninth-order evolutionary born among the human race. But the mutant species at that time really had a ninth-order existence. What's even more terrifying is that in the case of the same rank, the evolutionary is not the enemy of the mutant species at all, and the weakness of human beings can be seen from this.

Chen Mo opened his backpack, took out the Chinese medicinal materials and simple chemical instruments he had bought with the only money he had left, put them on the table, closed his eyes and carefully recalled the formula, and waited until it was confirmed that it was correct before he started to act. An hour later, Chen Mo smiled as he looked at the light blue liquid in the test tube in his hand, "It's finally done!" From now on, I will be one step ahead of everyone else! ”。 The name of the potion in Chen Mo's hand is called "Awakening Liquid", which was developed by scientists of a mysterious organization five years after the end of the world, and because it was useless, this mysterious organization announced the formula of the elixir. The awakening liquid has only one function, that is, to inject the awakening liquid into the heart at the beginning of the Selection, which can 100% ensure that the user opens the brain domain at the time of the Selection, and increases the "brain domain development" to 100%! 100% of the "brain domain development" also means that the "energy crystal absorption rate" is also 100%, 100% energy crystal absorption rate, what a sensational thing! Unfortunately, this potion was only invented five years after the end of the world, when the Chosen One had long since passed, and this anti-heaven potion naturally became worthless. But this potion is definitely of great use to Chen Mo at this moment. Chen Mo was very glad at the moment that he was able to completely remember the formula of the "Awakening Liquid", and the unintentional actions of his previous life would play a major role in this life.

Chen Mo carefully put the awakening liquid into his backpack, turned around and walked to the window to open the curtains, looking at the sun outside the window, the sun was extremely gentle, Chen Mo was bathed in the afterglow of the sunset and lost his mind for a while. After shaking his head, he looked at the wall clock - "five o'clock". "There are still seven hours," Chen Mo muttered to himself.
