"She's a simple girl, she's full of energy;"

"Sexier than dreamy, lonelier than the road;"

"The world she lives in is burning in the boiling fires;"

"Endless suffering is abundant, and she is not willing to survive."

Under the clear blue sky, the sky is full of yellow sand.

In a corner of the desolate desert, brightly colored heavy motorcycles soar through the flying sand, and the heavy singing of drums in the car stereo echoes in the vast wasteland.

Driving the motorcycle was a hotly dressed girl. Her long hair fluttered in the hot wind, and the orange sunglasses on the bridge of her nose glistened in the daylight.

She was wearing close-fitting denim shorts and a black bandeau vest, her two slender thighs straddled at each side, and a large area of snow-white skin enjoyed the brief coolness brought by the speed.

Pink bubbles puffed up and shrank as her cheeks puffed up, matching her fiery car.

She also carried a double-barreled shotgun with a shiny silver body on her right shoulder, and it didn't seem to be used very often, and it seemed that its owner was just carrying it behind her back as a decoration.

Her fingertips tapped on the grip to the rhythm of the music, and she spat bubbles as she looked down slightly in the rearview mirror.

Sunglasses slide down the bridge of the nose, and a pair of sly eyes are reflected in the rearview mirror.

"I didn't draw much today. Forget it, it's almost enough. ”

Behind her car, more sand and dust rose into the air, almost like a storm.

That's not the effect of motorcycles. In the long sand, huge black shadows were surging, chasing behind the motorcycle at the same speed.

She twisted her right hand the grip, and the bike began to pick up speed, and the shadows roared and followed.

The yellow sand dispersed, and the ugly-looking monsters were exposed to the sun.

It's a swarm of aliens.

There were about a dozen of them in this group, and they looked similar, the whole looked like praying mantis with ten legs, and the towering limbs made them look like spiders that were hundreds of times magnified.

The worm's whole body was disgusting, and its torso was covered with protruding flesh thorns, which seemed to be still bleeding pus. Hundreds of worm legs marched on the hard wasteland, and the sound of rain was like the beating of war drums.

After a few minutes of speeding in a straight line, the woman's motorcycle suddenly turned around and headed for a dirt slope not far away.

With tremendous kinetic energy, the motorcycle jumped up along the slope and flew in mid-air.

At this moment, the song also reaches its climax:

"This girl is invincible;"

"This girl is unstoppable;"

"She walks through the raging fire;"

"Dazzling, dazzling, sparkling."

On the flaming red motorcycle, the corners of the woman's mouth rose, and her raised left hand snapped her fingers.

A deafening explosion sounded in the rear, and it was a myriad of mines that had been lying under the ground for a long time, and all of them exploded at this moment.

Some insects tried to run, but a strange arc light lit up on the ground, blocking their path.

Waves of gunpowder smoke and fire rose up in the sky, and all the terrifying insects turned into food for bombs, and stumps and broken legs flew wildly with the gale.

The woman casually spit out the bubble gum in her mouth and whistled triumphantly.

With a wave of his hand, five or six gray-covered robot villains appeared out of thin air.

They spun their mechanical legs with small wheels and ran into the corpses that littered the ground; Stretching out a spiral-patterned spring arm, rummaging through the mangled corpse.

While the group of little robots were busy, the woman's waist felt a vibration, and her mobile phone rang.

She turned off the music for a while, saw the name of the caller on the screen, her face showed joy, and she clicked to answer without hesitation:

"Senior sister, are you out of customs?"

"Well, it seems that recultivating this Divine Consciousness Secret Method is much easier than I thought before." A beautiful female voice came from the other end of the phone, "Let's not talk about this first, I just succeeded, and I found something strange here." You'd better come and have a look. ”

"Senior sister, when did you learn to sell guanzi, is there something good?" The woman grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth in the sunlight.

"You're smart." Senior sister smiled and scolded, "Come over earlier." ”

"Okay, when I sell this batch of goods, I'll go to you."

The woman was none other than Chu Yu, and it was Bai Yuejian who was on the phone with her.

Today is January 10, 2515 in the Celestial and Human Calendar, the third year of the Insect Tide Era.

It has been three years since the outbreak of the insect influx.

Three years ago, the Lingyuan Starlings who were struggling to survive in the insect chaos were not waiting for reinforcements from the Yali Company, but for a protracted war.

The battle lasted for three months, and finally ended with the defeat of Ke Yun, the president of Yali Company, and the Steel Dome Company, as the winner, became the new owner of Lingyuan Star.

Steel Dome's method of dealing with the insect tide was simple and crude, using dozens of high-yield nuclear bombs that had been modified with magic stones.

This kind of annihilation-level demon nuclear weapon can greatly reduce the effects of radiation, which may be the little mercy left by Steel Dome.

The effect is significant, and although the crisis of the insect infestation has not been completely solved, the number of insects has been reduced to a controllable level.

But there are countless consequences left behind.

Reducing radiation is just to protect resources, and this group of war maniacs has no regard for human life, and hundreds of millions of people are buried in the mushroom cloud of nuclear explosions along with alien insects.

These bombs landed on land and sea, leaving only scorched earth in their reach.

Chu Yu and they are lucky. The Third Continent has a special position on the Lingyuan Star: because of the stationing of various interstellar company branches, in order not to become the target of public criticism, the Steel Dome Company has adopted relatively moderate measures here, and Xindu and Free City have been less affected.

But other places have not been so lucky.

The southern part of the First Continent and the western part of the Third Continent were all turned into a wasteland under the influence of the nuclear weapons that destroyed the country.

The worst is the Second Continent, which is in ruins except for some cities in the heartland.

The heat generated by the explosion of the nuclear bomb evaporated a huge amount of seawater, the sea level decreased, the land area expanded, the distance between the two and three continents narrowed, and even straits were formed between the bordering lands.

The impact of war and nuclear weapons, coupled with the near-crushing resource exploitation of the subsequent steel dome, has intensified the desertification on Lingyuan Star, and except for a few intact cities, all eyes can see the vast desert and wasteland.

The little robots finished their work, and Chu Yu put them into a storage bag with the demon pill, and then took out a hemp bag and filled it with all the valuable materials that had been pulled from the insect corpse.

Tie the mouth of the bag tightly with hemp rope, Chu Yu tied the bag firmly to the back seat, and stepped back on the motorcycle.

The music sounded again with the engine and the blowing sand, and the speeding locomotive was like a fiery red meteor, galloping through the dead desert.

After about twenty minutes, several white protrusions appeared at the end of the desert, and a few slightly rudimentary tents came into view.
