Chapter 107
Long Xingyi sat on the chair and said respectfully: "Old man, how did this judgment day come from?"
The old man thought about it carefully and said, "The reason for this judgment day is the greed of human beings. In the 1970s, the genetic modification technology invented by scientist Anthony greatly improved human genes and helped humans escape from the edge of extinction. But since then, with the aggravation of earth's pollution and the leakage of genetic modification raw materials, organisms on the earth have begun to evolve subtly... To this day, nature has finally begun to punish human beings, and we call this day "Judgement Day". It happened without any warning, but it was abnormally synchronized around the world, causing the government and the army to fall directly into a state of paralysis on the day of the accident, and humans suffered heavy losses."
"I probably know all these backgrounds." Long Xingyi looked at Yin Yuting. This was very similar to what she had said before. According to their speculation at the time, all this was a conspiracy of the Dream Builder, but since he had eliminated the Dream Builder, why did all this happen?
"So... why haven't we developed any aerospace technology? We are ready to emigrate interstellarly at any time?" Yin Yuting asked.
"We have always developed space technology. But just a few decades ago, when we wanted to establish a globally-joint interstellar space station, the fund was misappropriated by the biopharmaceutical company that invented genetic improvement technology, in the name of it to prevent biological pollution. Many related attempts from countries around the world have failed for unknown reasons. So to this day, although we have mastered enough technology, we have not yet had a space station, a star fleet, or a lunar base that has begun to take shape. This is why, decades ago, there was an alien civilization visiting us and trying to reach an alliance with us, but there was no news again."
It seems that the initiator of all this was the owner of the biopharmaceutical company. A thought suddenly flashed through Long Xingyi's mind, and the PC raised his left hand and asked: "Wolong, help me check, who is the founder of Anthony's company?"
What surprised him was that the PC actually showed three big words - "no signal".
Damn, this will only happen in the mountainous areas of my era. How could it happen here suddenly? Long Xingyi thought to himself.
The old man saw Long Xingyi's surprise and said again: "When the Judgment Day broke out, the ferocious beasts organized the destruction of all our communication base stations. My wife and I were not used to using PCs of this era, but even Tianyou and their PCs suddenly lost their signals and could not contact the outside world. Otherwise, we would have found a way to contact the army and evacuated from here."
Unprepared, Long Xingyi suddenly thought, "In this way, the reminder of the dream builder to them may be kind-hearted?"
At this time, Tianyou bandaged Fang De's wounds, returned to them, and heard Long Xingyi's question, and answered casually: "The question you asked, we learned about our history class. Anthony's pharmaceutical company at that time was called Xinglong Biopharmaceuticals. The founder was a strong woman at that time, and her name seemed to be... Tong Xiaoming?"
Tong Xiaoming? Ming Xiaotong! Long Xingyi was as if he had suffered a bolt from the blue and was stunned in the original place. He looked back at Yin Yuting, and saw that Yin Yuting also looked at him with the same surprised eyes. The two of them, Ming Xiaotong, who were soft-hearted for a while, were actually the initiators of all this.
"I understand, I understand everything!" Long Xingyi suddenly stood up, walked to the door, and said to Yin Yuting who was following him: "Ming Xiaotong is the initiator of all this, and the Dream Builder is just one of her patrons. After the Dream Builder discovered Ming Xiaotong's ambition, he leaked her plan in time and reminded the world that he had the Skynet plan. Without the sponsorship of the Dream Builder, Ming Xiaotong could only apply for funds from the government, which made the construction of the Star Covenant Space Station ruined. For her, we humans were like turtles in a jar, trapped on this earth where strange beasts were rampant."
Thinking of this, Long Xingyi couldn't help but feel very regretful, "What the dream builder said is right. I will only make mistakes again and again, pushing things to a deeper abyss."
"That may not be." Yin Yuting comforted him behind him: "It seems that although the situation is serious now, we are staying in our own homeland - Earth. The Tutetu people did not come, and Emperor Shaka did not come to attack the earth. Although we have suffered heavy losses, it is better than destroying the earth in another time and space. Do you think that the loss in the time and space before us would not be heavy? The two evils are the least. It seems that it is not wrong for you to get rid of the dream builder. I even suspect that the dream builder reminds the earth that the day of the judgment is to let us abandon the earth ourselves, so as to give Emperor Shaka the chance to attack us. The invasion of the current strange beasts is entirely the business of our earthlings. As long as these disasters are calmed down, the earth will definitely be better than before."
When Long Xingyi heard this, he looked back at Yin Yuting and nodded.
"What are you talking about?" Zhao Xin stood behind them and eavesdropped, confused, "What dream builder, what Skynet plan..."
"Nothing." Long Xingyi was too lazy to take more saliva with him. After sorting out his own ideas, he walked to the old man again. "Old man, now we are hiding here, it is not a solution. I believe there will be more and more strange beasts in the city, and our existing resources will be less and less. Now, I think we'd better follow the direction of the army and head north to find the troops as soon as possible, so that we can have more possibilities for life. To be honest, my companions and I also have important things to do, and it's not convenient to stay for a long time. We will soon set off to find Lei Ling, commander-in-chief of the Southern Theater Command, and Ming Chenhai."
"That's it." The old man replied, "but there are too many alien fighting beasts and puppets in the city. The old and weak, sick and disabled, will definitely not escape death if we go out like this. And... we heard that in this city, there is also a leader of a ferocious beast. He can control ferocious beasts, and his ability is also extremely strong and extremely cruel. If he encounters it..."
"That's right, you can leave first if you have something to do! We won't go out and take that risk. Besides, if you want to see Mingchenhai, do the commander-in-chief want to see you? You are not afraid of laughing out loud when you say it." Zhao Xin said sarcastically.
At this time, Jin Ruyi, who had just checked Fang De's injuries, came up and said to the old man: "Mr. Xian, we have seen the abilities of these two people just now. It is easy for them to kill those puppets and strange beasts, and they must have unique skills. It is better for us to go out with them, even if we find another place to live. You also know that there are not many resources nearby...."
"Yes, the tree is moved to die, and the person is moved to live. I also agree to chase the army. After all, if they have firepower, it is not so easy for the entire army to be wiped out." Tianyou said in agreement.
After everyone's discussion, everyone finally decided to go with Long Xingyi. Although Zhao Xin did not agree, he was even more unwilling to stay here alone, so he had to reluctantly agree.
Several people packed up the essentials, collected food and water, and found a crutch for Fang De in the health care product store, arranged a double bed for Long Xingyi and Yin Yuting. Everyone rested for one night, and followed Long Xingyi out of the mall the next day.
Along the way, Long Xingyi and Yin Yuting tried their best to kill the alien beasts and puppets on the road to ensure that the other eight people were safe. The 10 people traveled northward and bypassed many obstacles. Except for Fang De's inconvenience and some of them slowed down the process, there was nothing unusual. The army led a large number of civilians and moved faster. Moreover, every time they arrived in a city, they had to gather more troops and carry more civilians, which would slow down their progress. Long Xingyi thought to himself that if he was at this speed, I believe they could catch up with the troops in the front sooner or later.
After walking a few blocks, Long Xingyi and Yin Yuting killed dozens of strange beasts and puppets, but they were unscathed. This also made the other eight people feel hope and became more optimistic.
As they walked around a corner, everyone was walking happily, suddenly the little girl stopped, her eyes full of horror. The others looked along her eyes, and their smiles suddenly froze on their faces.
Long Xingyi didn't understand what was going on, so he looked along their eyes. He saw an unusually huge beast with an unusually large figure but much smaller than his mother's body sitting in the middle of the road. Yes, he was sitting on a huge rock in the middle of the road.
Long Xingyi looked carefully and found that it was a humanoid creature that looked like an alien beast fighting. He had scales, long claws, but had a human face and strong chest muscles.
"What is that?" Long Xingyi had never seen such a creature before, so he asked curiously.
Tianyou, who was behind him, replied tremblingly: "The genetically modified mutant, the leader Mr. Xian just mentioned is him."
"Brother died in his hands..." the little girl said, and she was about to cry.
Long Xingyi gave Yin Yuting a look, let her be on guard and protect the other people. He walked up with a lightsword in his hand.
The mutant saw the human in armor coming up and thought it was a soldier who had not yet evacuated from the city. He grinned and jumped off the boulder.
"You are unlucky, you hit the gun at the mouth of the deity. Want to escape from the city? Don't think about it!" said the mutant.
"What are you?" Long Xingyi asked sincerely. When he blurted out, he remembered this sentence more like a provocation.
The other mutant heard Long Xingyi's question, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly. Without saying anything, he raised his claws and rushed straight to the "soldier" in front of him.
Underestimating the enemy is a taboo in battle, Long Xingyi thought. He saw the opponent's offensive, flashed to the side, and avoided the opponent's sharp claws.
The mutant failed to hit, so he pulled out a slender steel whip from his waist. The blade on the steel whip was as hard as the scales of a strange beast, shining with cold light. The mutant shook the steel whip in the direction of Long Xingyi, trying to wrap around his neck, but was avoided by Long Xingyi quickly.
"You are different from them." The mutant laughed a little while after several attacks failed, "Interesting, are you a human officer?"
"I'm here to collect your corpse." After several rounds of fighting, Long Xingyi gradually figured out the other party's moves. He predicted that the mutant's ability must be under his own, so he wanted to end the battle as soon as possible and started to speak loudly.
"Hmph, it's a pity that I want to play with you more, but my mother said that as long as it is a human, it should die. Today is your death date." The mutant said and rushed up again.
Just now, Long Xingyi was defending and dodging, just to see the opponent's moves clearly. This time the mutant rushed up again, and he had already felt a sense of scrutiny. He calmly looked at the opportunity and took a step forward, facing the blade of the steel whip that the opponent threw out.
Just when the mutant thought he was about to succeed and was proud, Long Xingyi dodged to the side, dodged the blade, and took another step forward and inserted his lightsaber straight into the mutant's chest.
After a flash of lightning, the mutant stood there staggeringly, unable to hide the shock on his face. He lowered his head and looked at the lightsaber that Long Xingyi inserted into his chest. He wanted to say something, but he only sprayed a mouthful of blood and fell to the ground and died.
Long Xingyi was quite proud of the mutant in front of him. But as soon as he turned around, he saw countless alien fighting beasts and puppets appearing behind him. His expression became serious in an instant.
Yin Yuting had been paying attention to his battle situation just now, so she didn't look behind her. When she noticed that Long Xingyi's expression changed, she also looked back and looked back, which attracted others to look back and wait and see.
When everyone present saw this, they were very scared. If it weren't for Long Xingyi's roar, the few people would have been stunned.
"Run!" Long Xingyi said, and ran towards them.
But at this time, several alien fighting beasts rushed up. Yin Yuting hurriedly drew her sword to meet the enemy, but the number of alien beasts and puppets was too large, so she could only save herself and had to urge others to run away quickly.
Seeing that the strange beast was about to catch several civilians, all eight people were fleeing in panic and ran towards Long Xingyi. Zhao Xin suddenly turned around, snatched the crutch from Fang De's hand, and kicked Fang De and Jin Ruyi who was supporting him.
"I'm sorry, beauty!" Zhao Xin said, looking at his "masterpiece" proudly, and then ran forward again.
Fang De, who fell to the ground, saw the alien beast behind him pounced on him, and he suddenly pounced on Jin Ruyi. The alien beast's long claws pierced into Fang De's back, and blood suddenly surged.
"Long Xingyi! Come and save her!" Fang De used his last little strength, blood flowing from his mouth, and shouted to Long Xingyi.
Seeing this, Long Xingyi didn't bother to grit her teeth at Zhao Xin, so she rushed up and pulled out Jin Ruyi, who was stunned from Fang De's body.
"Yu Ting, you escort them to escape, I'll resist it."
Yin Yuting cut down two or three puppets with one sword, and turned around to cover everyone without saying a word. She knew that at this time, arguing with Long Xingyi was to increase the burden on him.
The alien fighting beast on Fang De's body bit it and easily twisted Fang De's neck.
"Fang De!" Jin Ruyi shouted loudly behind them. But Fang De could no longer hear her scream.
Long Xingyi inserted his sword into the head of the strange beast, and then swung the light sword, using the inch strength to throw the strange beast aside. He wanted to pull Fang De's body out at the same time, but unfortunately, there were more and more strange beasts in front of him, as if in order to avenge his leader, the alien fighting beasts in Edu had already been dispatched in full swing.
Time is urgent, Long Xingyi had no choice but to throw Fang De's body down and fight and retreat with everyone. Fortunately, at this time, it was not far from the north gate of the city. The narrow north gate might be able to withstand the fierce beasts.
Several people tried their best to escape, and Long Xingyi and Yin Yuting were covering the rear. Just as they were about to reach the north gate of the city, Long Xingyi and Yin Yuting were trying their best to block the attack of the alien beasts, Zhao Xin behind each other screamed.
It turned out that among the remaining 7 people, Zhao Xin ran the fastest. He was about to run out of the Beida Gate. He suddenly felt a stinging pain in his chest. He looked down and saw a light arrow shakingly in his chest. Zhao Xin grinned in pain and fell to the ground.
The remaining six people also stopped. They saw a tall woman in black walking in outside the north gate ahead with a calm expression. Suddenly, all the strange beasts stopped attacking again.
Long Xingyi finally had a chance to breathe. He turned around, passed by everyone, and looked at the woman in front of him.
Chapter completed!
