Chapter 833 The End of the World
Lan Bingru, whose face was covered with blood, has long been used to life and death, or perhaps it was her emotions towards the perpetrators, but when faced with the scene of Blood Huraza, her eyelashes trembled slightly , as calm as if nothing happened.
In contrast, Lin Fan and Antonio, the two rescuers, could not hide their discomfort - although they had killed countless Grottoes, they had done so in battles, and their shapes were quite different.
Now that I have just arrived in Xinxing, I have to kill a native with my own hands. It's not like killing a chicken, so I feel a little bit burdened.
Although this guy is not a good person to begin with, neither of them are indiscriminate killers, and they did not want to come up and kill them...
Antonio sighed, feeling guilty.
He overestimated the opponent's strength and underestimated the power of the sword. Who would have thought that the super-powerful natives who could kill mutated plants were so fragile.
He was also careless. After all, there are differences between humans and plants. How can they be treated like mutant plants and be chopped up when they come up?
Killing plants only feels good to him, but killing a person who is so similar to himself...
The mistake has been made, and Antonio doesn't want to think about it anymore. After looking around, he dragged a worn-out advertising sheet not far away to cover the stump. The excitement that was originally eager to try also completely cooled down at this time.
After Lin Fan tied up the other person, he took out a bottle of water from his backpack and handed it to the girl sitting in the corner, with the intention of letting her wash her face.
Lan Pingru took the water in a daze, opened the bottle cap and put it under her nose to smell it. After confirming that it was extremely precious drinking water, her eyes lit up.
Before the end of the world, water seemed to be an extremely common thing in life, for washing hands, bathing, drinking or other purposes. Almost no one took this non-renewable resource seriously.
It’s not like they can’t afford the water bill, so there’s nothing to search for.
But the end of the world has come, the environment has changed, animals and plants have mutated, and although the water resources have not turned into monsters, they have also deteriorated and can no longer provide guarantee for human survival.
At this time, people deeply realized how important these resources were that they never cared about in daily life.
Water, electricity, power and energy... When these all disappear and no amount of money can buy them, all mankind seems to have returned to primitive society in an instant.
Fortunately, supermarkets, shopping malls, manufacturers and other places still have a large amount of available finished product resources.
The anxious people were afraid of falling behind. They started fighting over snatching and started killing each other even before the mutant plants were discovered.
Not long after, plants began to mutate, human living space was greatly squeezed, and living became even more difficult.
At the beginning of this chaotic end of the world, moral sense and laws have become the most useless things. Without these constraints, all the evils are like the devil being released, making the already difficult world completely different...
After dozens of days when all water, electricity and communications were cut off, the higher-up orders finally reached the local area, and the local garrison was dispatched to intervene to maintain stability.
But with more people and fewer people, it will be difficult to take care of everything. They can only retreat while fighting, and gather those who can still gather to the newly formed security base.
At this time, most of the old, weak, sick and disabled died, and those who survived basically had some ability. Some people are willing to leave with the garrison and go to the base to find peace of mind. There are also people who are so ambitious that they occupy the mountains and become kings, becoming emperors of the land.
Later, animals also mutated, and mutated plants became more and more powerful.
Nature has carried out rounds of survival of the fittest on humans. The tiny human beings finally established several relatively stable safety zones and gathered military armed forces to firmly block the intrusion of these mutated animals and plants outside the walls.
There is a large population in the safe zone, and it is impossible to support all of them, so there is a task system. Do things in exchange for living space and food rations.
In order to resist mutated animals and plants, scientists have not stopped working hard and have developed a drug that can enhance human physique. It can greatly increase the limit of human body's ability, stimulate human body's potential and become stronger.
I thought that with the addition of a national system, the situation against mutated creatures could be quickly reversed. I never thought that blessings come in pairs and misfortunes never come alone.
After drinking the potion, many people began to mutate. He became delirious and only knew how to drink blood and eat flesh, much like the legendary zombies.
Everything happened suddenly, and the safety zone was unable to cope with it. People bit each other and spread from person to person. It turned into a hell on earth for a while. However, these mutants are extremely difficult to deal with and cannot be killed without decapitation. But their relatives still had hope, but they couldn't bear to see their loved ones being killed. After some obstruction, the losses can be imagined.
Fortunately, the results of mutation are not all bad - many people have also developed supernatural powers. As long as these abilities are used properly, they can cause a fatal blow to mutated creatures.
So after the death toll increased sharply and the efforts to prevent and kill the mutants were reduced, everyone in the safe zone quickly evacuated.
The mutant followed instinctively. After most of the mutants left the city, the people in the safe area circled back to the city and sealed the city gate. Naturally, there are still some mutants left inside that are not something to be afraid of.
But the disadvantages still exist. After humans who have drank the physique-improving potion are harmed by mutated animals and plants, the mutated bacteria will merge with the forcibly upgraded genetic "advantages", and the chance of becoming "zombie" is close to 100%.
Even if the healing power intervenes, it will not be completely spared due to the time and the strength of the ability...
The following days will be spent in ordinary hardships.
The supplies in the safe zone are getting less and less, and the human class has become scattered due to their abilities. No one is shouting for equality anymore, and there are more and more people in high and powerful positions. The safe zone has gradually become a hall of reference for the person in charge. Compared with the local emperors outside, that is, the predecessor was more formal. In comparison, ordinary people can still have a way to survive.
And people with superpowers, in order to survive better and have a higher status, will inevitably have to go out of the city to do tasks. After all, a single person's power is limited, and there are too many mutated creatures out there, so most people go out in small groups.
Although there are fewer available, they are safer. The vast majority of people still care more about their own lives and would rather have fewer things and just be safe.
Life cannot be said to be getting better or worse. There seems to be hope, but there is no end in sight.
The quality of the safe zone all depends on the thoughts of the person in charge. Some are getting better, and some are getting worse, making people living in it feel unbearable.
Ordinary people have to endure it even if they can't bear it. People with some ability think about leaving and continuing to live in a better safe zone.
Lan Pingru is in such a team.
They all lost traces of their loved ones in the chaos. Although they knew the situation was not good, they still had hope in their hearts. So in the face of a bad environment, when someone suggested leaving, most people agreed with the idea.
I heard that the people in charge of the Penang base in the southeast are relaxed and their living conditions are much better. They are all superpowers, and they might be more comfortable in the past than they are now. Maybe you can still find your lost relatives.
They made a risk estimate and knew that the road would be difficult and dangerous, but with so many people together, and Lan Pingru’s healing powers, they should be able to arrive safely.
It was okay at first, but as they continued deeper, the crisis was far more than expected. Without navigation and professional guides, it is easy to get lost just by looking at a map.
Once trapped in a wilderness with dense vegetation, their once confident abilities were completely unstoppable.
Lan Bingru's healing power continued to be used until she could no longer produce a drop of water.
Everyone regretted it, but it was already too late.
As a nanny, Lan Pingru is habitually protected by her teammates.
She watched the captain and teammates fall one by one, being pierced by mutated plants and sucking blood in front of her. She was so angry that she took out a self-defense dagger and wanted to fight hard, even before death. A few leaves are also good.
At this time, a big fireball passed over her and ignited the plants in front of her, and the roaring heat pushed her down.
Lan Bingru watched as the bodies of her teammates fell into the sea of fire, and the mutated vegetation wrapped around them all became buried with them...
