Chapter 1: Take care
1. Take care!
It's the winter of 3300, in Washington, USA, countless human beings have gathered here, in fact, human beings have been driven into a desperate situation, except for the shelter of Washington, no corner of the world can be considered safe.
Crisis exists in any corner of the world!
One day three years ago, a dark red ball of energy suddenly hit the earth, and then, a terrifying blood line began to spread on the surface of the earth, and from these blood lines every once in a while, terrifying monsters would grow, these monsters were extremely powerful, and they were simply not able to resist humans.
In recent years, most of the earth has been shrouded in blood, and even the sea is no exception.
And just last year, ten powerful humans suddenly arrived, they easily exterminated the monster, and settled in Washington, D.C., opening up a safe haven for humanity. At the same time, these ten powerhouses gave the monster a name, named 'Leftover Demon Clan'!
......
Chen Yuan, a native of China, is also in Washington at the moment, but his fate will soon be in his own hands.
Because Washington is too small, and there are too many humans who have taken refuge here in this year, the strong people stationed in Washington have decided to exclude some incapable people!
In fact, a year ago, these ten powerhouses not only descended on the human world, but also brought a cultivation system that could make humans stronger, strong enough to fight against the remaining demons!
This cultivation system does not have high requirements for the human body, and in a year, almost half of the human beings have begun to cultivate, and some of them are extremely good, and even have small achievements, and they are under the command of the top ten powerhouses and personally guided.
Chen Yuan was standing in the Central Plaza in Washington at this time, the environment here was extremely noisy, and there were people standing around, they were either suffering, or grief, or worried, or afraid, and some of them had even begun to despair.
Because today, among them, there must be more than eighty percent of them who have left Washington! And what does it mean to leave Washington? It means that they can no longer enjoy the protection of the ten strong men, which means that it is very likely to be a dead end! Chen Yuan also has a younger sister, and his sister is only 14 years old this year, but she has been recognized by those strong people in Washington as having excellent cultivation talents, and has become a disciple of one of the strong men.
Chen Yuan looked coldly at all kinds of people in the square, his fists clenched tightly.
Three years ago, he watched his mother die under the claws of the remaining demons, and he couldn't do anything.
When he looked at his mother for the last time, he could see the meaning in his mother's eyes, that is, run!
Chen Yuan, who had reached the age of eighteen at the time, burst into tears, gritted his teeth, hugged his sister in a coma, and ran away resolutely, using the greatest strength of his life to escape.
He turned around in the middle of running, and clearly saw his mother's relieved and relieved eyes, at that moment, Chen Yuan could no longer control his tears, but he still did not stop running, because as an adult, he knew that once he stopped, he would fail his mother's heart of sacrifice for their escape!
"Chen Yu, you can live safely, my brother is already very happy, and there are no regrets. Chen Yuan said silently in his heart.
Chen Yu is his sister, three years ago, Chen Yu still can't forgive Chen Yuan, she thinks that her brother should stay and live with his mother, he ran away like that, it was a coward's doing.
Therefore, even today, Chen Yuan was even about to be expelled from Washington, and Chen Yu still did not show up to see him.
"That's it, since it's fate, then what's the use of me even if I escape? Hmph, put it on me, it's more like a joke!" Chen Yuan smiled helplessly, he didn't have the slightest cultivation talent, he knew this since he came to Washington a year ago.
In the past year, he has worked harder than anyone else, he has exercised his body, he has exercised like crazy, he has exercised until there is not even a trace of fat in his body, he has tempered his strength, he has constantly punched and kicked the steel plate, and even broken bones many times, he has trained for speed, and in the past year, his 100-meter time has broken through the nine-second mark!
But what's the use of all this? He doesn't have the talent for cultivation, even if he works a hundred or a thousand times harder than others, but in the end he is less than one-thousandth of others.
"I, unwilling!" Chen Yuan shouted in his heart, he didn't believe in fate, he only believed in himself, so even if this year's efforts didn't yield any results in the end, he still didn't have the idea of giving up.
Back then, he didn't have the strength to protect his mother, and now he still doesn't even have the ability to protect himself. Chen Yuan's gaze skipped over the square and looked into the distance, he was looking for Chen Yu, his sister.
He knew that he was destined to leave Washington, and he wanted to see his only relative one one last time.
But unfortunately, Chen Yu is not here.
Just when Chen Yuan looked around, more than a thousand round platforms appeared around the square, and after these round platforms appeared, they immediately changed and became strange steps, these steps were no exception, there were only seven sections, the first section was red, and the colors behind were yellow, blue, green, green, orange, and purple. Of course, Chen Yuan knew what this step was for, it was used to test the human body's qualifications, and it was the most primary.
It can be said that of the 10 million people in Washington, 9 million can easily cross the seven steps, and of the remaining 1 million people, 800,000 can climb the highest purple steps, and 100,000 can climb the orange steps and have the potential to climb the purple steps. Only the last 100,000 people remain, and the most they can do is climb the orange steps.
And today, those who climb the orange steps, can stay, and the rest, leave!
A year ago, Chen Yuan walked through the seven-colored steps, and he had just put one foot on the red steps when he was bounced out by a force of anti-shock. He was also the only one of the humans who had taken refuge in Washington who couldn't even walk up the red steps. So Chen Yuan's name is known to many people.
People took a deep breath and prepared to start walking the seven-colored steps, and out of 100,000 people, less than a thousand people could walk up the orange steps.
Chen Yuan's expression did not change much, he stood quietly, although he was mentally prepared to leave, but he was still eager to stay, not because it was safe here, but because it was here, and he cared about it.
In the year since he came to Washington, he has not even made a single friend, because in the two years before coming to Washington, he was drifting outside, understanding that the world is in danger, everyone protects themselves, and not many people will reveal their sincerity to others, except for relatives.
Bang bang......
The sound was endless, it was the sound of someone being bounced off by the anti-shock force of the seven-colored steps. In the blink of an eye, thousands of people had tried to walk the seven-colored steps, but none of them could make it up to the orange steps.
Ten minutes later, when more than half of the people in the square had walked the seven-colored steps, one person finally stood on the orange steps without being bounced off.
The man was ecstatic, which meant that he stayed and he could continue to live. By the time two-thirds of the people have completed the seven-colored steps, more than 1,000 people have successfully climbed the orange steps.
"It seems that the motivation for life and death is really great, and many people who could not have made it to the orange steps a year ago have now climbed it. Chen Yuan thought in his heart, although there is not much affection between human beings, everyone has done their best in order to survive for a year.
There are fewer and fewer people in the square, and finally it is time for Chen Yuan to start the test, he stood in front of the seven-colored steps, looking at the red steps that shimmered with dazzling light, and was apprehensive, a year ago, this step ruthlessly rejected him, after a year of crazy exercise, I don't know if he can successfully trample it under his feet now.
"Here we go. With a silent remark in his heart, Chen Yuan raised his right foot without hesitation and stepped towards the crimson steps.
"Look, that waste Chen Yuan has begun to challenge, I don't know if he can climb the red steps after a year. A human who managed to stay behind apparently recognized Chen Yuan and whispered to the person next to him.
"Hmph, how can this kind of waste progress? In my opinion, his results will be the same as a year ago. The other man who stayed behind said disdainfully.
"Also, this kind of person staying in Washington is also a waste of resources and land, and becoming the food of the remaining demons is his best destination. Those people were not far from Chen Yuan, of course he heard these discussions, but he did not refute them, because verbal arguments were meaningless, and it was better to speak more thoroughly with facts.
Da!
Chen Yuan's right foot stepped lightly on the red steps, and he waited for a while to make sure that the steps did not burst out with a countershock force, and then he breathed a sigh of relief, and there was some surprise in his heart.
With anticipation, he finally lifted his other foot, wanting to climb the crimson steps with both feet.
But the moment he lifted his other foot, a powerful force of shock appeared, and his right foot, which had stepped on the crimson steps, was instantly bounced away, and his entire body flew upside down.
Bang!
His body fell to the ground three meters away.
Failed. Chen Yuan stood up, patted the dust on his body, and did not speak.
This was the outcome that had been expected for a long time, and he was not surprised, the moment he bounced off the steps, he actually laughed, and at the same time his heart died. The little hope I had before walking the seven-colored steps was completely gone.
"What do I have to be disappointed in? In this world full of crises, everyone is in danger, and there is nothing to rely on except for their own strength! Let's go, maybe, I won't necessarily die, maybe, I can create a miracle that belongs only to me! What I am unwilling to do is just the slightest concern for Chen Yu. Chen Yuan resolutely turned around, ignored the ridicule and slander around him, and walked out of the square alone.
He actually walked directly towards the wall of Washington that had been built by the ten powerful men with their powerful abilities, and he was going to leave Washington directly! In fact, even if he failed to walk the Seven Colored Steps, he could still live in Washington for a month, as long as he left Washington within a month.
Most people also chose to leave when the one-month period expired, but Chen Yuan decided to leave directly!
People must not be arrogant, but they must be arrogant!
He is not arrogant, but he is arrogant, why is he crazy to train himself? Why does he put in much more effort than others? Because he believes in himself! Because he does not believe in destiny!
Chen Yuan walked and walked, and unconsciously ran, since his heart was dead, then he didn't want to stay here for even a second.
"Chen Yuan!wait!" Just as Chen Yuan was running, a figure hundreds of times faster than him appeared, came to him in an instant, and blocked his way. It was a woman, sixteen or seventeen years old, with pink skin, delicate facial features, and a good look.
"What's the matter?" Chen Yuan recognized this woman, she was also a disciple of the top ten powerhouses, and a good friend of her sister Chen Yu, named Li Xiang'er.
"You don't have to leave, you can stay in the city for the rest of your life. Li Xiang'er's tone was flat, but there was still a trace of contempt in her eyes.
"Chen Yu asked you to come. Chen Yuan raised his head, didn't look at Li Xiang'er, and spoke calmly.
"Yes, you must remember to keep to yourself in the city in the future, don't make things indiscriminately, this time you can stay, it was Yu'er who got it with great difficulty, don't let her down. Okay, I've said everything I need to say, and you're good at it. Li Xiang'er saw that Chen Yuan's attitude was not very enthusiastic, and she was a little angry, but she didn't break out, she suppressed her anger, and after finishing her words, she was about to leave.
"Li Xiang'er, go back and pass a few words to Chen Yu for me. Back then, I still think that my choice was not wrong, you are young and do not know the pain of the person concerned, in today's troubled times, the preciousness of life is unimaginable, I did not choose so much, I will definitely live up to my mother's painstaking heart, let her down. In the future, if you continue to hate me, if you don't recognize me, I hope you live well. ”
"From now on, take care!"
Chen Yuan deliberately said this loudly because he had an intuition that maybe his sister Chen Yu was somewhere nearby and could hear him talking and see his expression. After finishing speaking, Chen Yuan didn't care, turned around, and left.
