Volume 1: From the Tiny End Chapter 01 Cataclysm
The stars are passing by without knowing the eternity, and the one withered and the other prospered without thinking about the next life. The past and present are all stories, and reincarnation finally becomes empty.
Human beings on earth finally stand at the top of the food chain, relying on the power of technology to explore the unknown.
In Northeast China, at the foot of the vast white mountains, a mental hospital is located. It is said to be a mental hospital, but it is actually a semi-closed prison. All mentally ill felons are imprisoned in the hospital.
As the sun rises in the east, in a ward, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy in hospital clothes wakes up leisurely in bed.
He has a thin body, a thin face, bright eyes, red lips and white teeth. He is a handsome young man. However, his face and hands are covered with purple-red bruises for unknown reasons.
"What's going on? In the past, it took several days to recover from a beating. How come this time it doesn't hurt in just one night?" The young man's eyes were somewhat empty as he thought.
"No, my body's strength has increased significantly, as if I've changed my body. Isn't it strange?"
The boy twisted and stretched his body, feeling the changes in his body.
Just when he was doubting, there was a bang, the door was kicked open, and a man dressed as a guard shouted at the door.
"Xia Yu, are you dead or not? If you are not dead, eat. Don't ask me to give you food every time you get beaten. If you are unlucky and have fallen into the trap of an old madman, then you deserve to be beaten. Hurry up, or you will be hungry.
." the guard shouted.
With a dark face, Xia Yu followed the guard to the canteen and found a seat to sit down. At this time, an unkempt white-haired old man sat opposite Xia Yu.
When Xia Yu saw this old man, his heart trembled and his lips curled up, but thinking about the time he was beaten by this old madman for a whole day because of his impoliteness, he immediately smiled and said hello to the old man.
"Good morning, master!"
"Did I get sick again yesterday?" the old man frowned and asked in a low voice.
"Fortunately, everything has recovered!" Xia Yu agreed with a smile.
"Something strange happened last night. I remembered a lot of things this morning, and something was wrong with your body."
"Master, you saw it!" Xia Yu asked carefully.
"I know the severity of what I did," the old man replied awkwardly.
While the two were talking, someone distributed breakfast, which was just steamed buns, porridge and pickles. At this time, the news was being broadcast on the TV on the wall, and a female reporter was standing in a prosperous place to broadcast live.
"Good morning everyone. In the past twenty-four hours, strange things have happened around the world. Many people said that their bodies have changed, some have increased strength, and some injured have recovered overnight. Scientists say it may be a mysterious energy, but
The source and efficacy are not yet known. Today we will conduct a random interview with pedestrians on the street."
At this time, a Taoist priest in ragged clothes jumped out of the camera, shouting excitedly, "The spiritual energy is revived, the spiritual energy is revived!" The Taoist priest ran away while shouting.
"I'm sorry, something unexpected happened just now. Our interview continues, but it is not necessarily true that the sudden change of the earth today is the revival of spiritual energy?" The reporter handled the interview incident playfully.
In the following interviews, three out of ten people actually said that their bodies had changed, but each person felt it to a different degree, some strong and some weak.
"Come to my room later."
The old madman finished explaining and left the cafeteria. Xia Yu looked at the old madman's back with some helplessness.
The old madman lives next door to Xia Yu. After Xia Yu came here, the old madman forcibly accepted Xia Yu as his disciple and forced Xia Yu to practice martial arts every day for fun. Occasionally, he would go crazy and beat Xia Yu violently. Xia Yu reported to the guard
He responded, but the guard seemed to be afraid of this old madman and did not dare to ask questions.
Although Xia Yu was abused within a year, he did learn some boxing and kicking skills. He felt that the old madman was both funny and hateful, so he didn't dare to provoke him or resist.
"Master, you're looking for me!" Xia Yu pushed open the door and entered the old madman's room.
"I've made it difficult for you this past year, I'm sorry!" the old madman apologized.
"Oh, it's strange, this old madman has never apologized!" Xia Yu secretly thought, but did not dare to speak.
"With the revival of spiritual energy, the world will change greatly. I feel that the end is approaching. From now on, I will officially teach you martial arts to make up for the grievances you have suffered this year."
"Master, what's wrong with you today? Don't listen to the nonsense of that Taoist priest on TV!" Xia Yu felt that the old madman was not normal today.
"That Taoist priest was the number one master of Xuanzhen's internal martial arts in Wudang Mountain thirty years ago. Although he was defeated by me, he never lied. You go back and start practicing tomorrow. Don't talk to others about your physical changes.
Talk about it." The old madman said like a normal person.
Xia Yu had long been used to the abnormality of this old madman. Today, he suddenly became normal. He was not used to it, but he ignored it and went back to his room.
Xia Yu thought of this morning's news, the old madman's abnormality, and the changes in his body, and felt confused. Then he closed his eyes, and the past reappeared in his mind.
Xia Yu was born in the devil's capital. He was smart and thoughtful since he was a child, but he was weak and taciturn.
A year ago, disaster struck from the sky, and Xia Yu was accused of murder. The Xia family did not believe it, so they made various reports and appeals. However, the real murderer had a clear eye, and Xia Yu was finally convicted.
In the end, the Xia family had no choice but to sell off their property and spend a lot of money to get Xia Yu a mental illness status and imprison him in a different place in a mental hospital in the northeast. It was considered that his life was saved.
As a result, Xia Yu, who was only fifteen years old, was beaten by an old lunatic for a year in a mental hospital.
"Hmph, you bullied me when I was young, bullied my family's weakness, and caused me to suffer humiliation for a year. That guy Chen Bufan framed me, and I will definitely avenge this in my life." Xia Yu secretly said angrily in his heart.
Every time he thinks about the past and his family, Xia Yu feels resentful and secretly sheds tears.
The next day, the old madman seemed to be a different person. Although he was still stern, he never beat Xia Yu again, and instead tried his best to teach martial arts.
Xia Yu practiced martial arts with the old madman every day, feeling the changes in his body while paying attention to the news, keeping a low profile and not daring to speak out.
Three days later, news about countless pets and beasts hurting people was broadcast all over the world.
Seven days later, many zoo animals attacked humans and many people died.
Ten days later, scientists confirmed that the incident was caused by an energy coming from the universe.
Half a month later, incidents of animal injuries to humans have resulted in millions of deaths, and a large number of humans with enhanced physical abilities are called mutants.
A month later, hordes of wild beasts attacked human cities in Australia for the first time. Within a day, millions of people were killed and no one survived. People were horrified and called this incident a catastrophe. Many human mutants devoted themselves to fighting the ferocious beasts.
During the battle.
A month and a half later, the old madman died on his bed, leaving only a few martial arts books and a letter to Xia Yu.
"When I woke up that day, I felt like I was reborn. I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child. I became crazy because of martial arts. I once defeated the heroes in the world, and I also regarded human life as trivial. I have been crazy for half my life, and I have been imprisoned here. I will pass on all I have learned to you.
, I’m not asking for your forgiveness, I just hope to have a legacy.”
"Now that the end of the world is coming, you, as a mutant, must be cautious in everything you do. Since you want to learn martial arts with me, you must have great perseverance and perseverance. You must be able to support a heavy burden, but you must also know how to let go of your own weight. Don't learn from me in the end.
He really became a madman. The old madman left a note."
Although the old madman had beaten Xia Yu many times for more than a year, Xia Yu could not bear any hatred towards him at this time. The old madman left, leaving no trace of story except for those moves.
Two months later, beast tides broke out frequently, and the global death toll exceeded 500 million. Nuclear weapons were activated, but after the effects were disproportionate, they were abandoned. China in the east of the world also began to become chaotic, and news of beast tides massacred cities occurred from time to time.
The mental hospital has been without water and electricity for three days, supplies have been exhausted, communications have been interrupted, and people are panicking.
The guards and staff took the patients, packed them into a bus, and set off for the nearest Liucheng, hoping to find shelter there.
After dozens of kilometers, we finally reached the highway. It was a sunny day, but the highway was deserted. The road was basically abandoned, blocked by burned-out cars, and everyone had to abandon their cars and walk.
While walking through a forest, suddenly there were hundreds of mosquitoes, which seemed to have smelled the smell of blood and swarmed towards me. Each mosquito was the size of a fist, and the sound of flapping wings was ear-piercing.
This vicious mosquito moves quickly, has hard mouthparts and is highly poisonous. Once a person is targeted and takes a bite, he loses the ability to move within three seconds. Within a few seconds, more than a dozen people are poisoned, and the mosquito swarm attacks several people.
After one breath, all that was left was skin and bones.
Xia Yu saw this tragic scene for the first time and felt a surge in his stomach, but now he could only suppress the discomfort.
Pistols and sticks were useless, and half of the people were dead in ten minutes. Some people squatted on the ground with their heads in their hands and cried bitterly, waiting to die, while the rest fled in all directions.
Whether it was the smell of blood or the sound of gunfire, it finally caused a commotion in the mountains.
Xia Yu only felt a vibration under his feet, and there was a faint roar of beasts in his ears.
"No, it could be the beast tide mentioned in the news." Xia Yu was shocked and said.
There were swarms of mosquitoes sucking blood, and there were swarms of beasts about to come in the mountains. Xia Yucong picked up an abandoned outdoor engineering shovel, and when he swung it, it made a whirring sound, and swatted a few mosquitoes close to him on the ground.
He jumped on the spot, jumped on top of a three-meter-high truck on the roadside, and looked into the distance. In times of crisis, he no longer bothered to hide the identity of the mutant.
"Xia Yu, are you a mutant? Please save us!" Someone who noticed something strange shouted to Xia Yu in the car.
"There is a tide of beasts in the mountains coming this way. Let's all run away! It's up to fate to live or die!" Xia Yu shouted to everyone. Then he accelerated and ran towards Liucheng first.
Kindness is worthless in the apocalypse, and only caution and force are the ways to survive.
After running at high speed for nearly an hour, the panting Xia Yu finally arrived at the boundary of Liucheng. A large number of troops were guarding the city.
"Stop, who is it?" A soldier stopped Xia Yu, who was wearing hospital clothes.
"Quick, there's a beast wave, it's coming soon. I ran down from the mountain!" Xia Yu's legs felt like lead at this time.
"Hurry to the shelter in the city, we will stop you here."
Xia Yu stumbled into the city. When he turned around, he saw that the army's vehicles, weapons, and personnel were all mobilized, and the muzzles of some artillery and tanks were pointed in the direction of the smoke and dust. It seemed that there was going to be an endless battle.
Xia Yu, who was physically and mentally exhausted, knew that before such a catastrophic disaster, one's personal strength was very little. He quickly entered the city and found an underground shelter, huddled among the crowd, and ate some of the dry food distributed to replenish his strength.
Suddenly the sound of artillery fire came into the basement. Through the fierce and continuous sound of gunfire, one can imagine how fierce the battle outside the city was.
"With such intense gunfire, it seems that the herd of beasts is not small, right?"
"I don't know if I can handle it this time?"
People were talking a lot, but within ten minutes, the sound of artillery fire gradually weakened, and the broadcast from the shelter rang.
"Urgent notice, the beast herd has broken through the defense line. All people should take shelter nearby and are prohibited from going out."
"No, I heard that the entry of beasts into a city is often the result of a massacre. What should we do?"
"What? The beasts have entered the city. What are these soldiers doing for food?"
"I heard that the Demonic City fell yesterday, and there were countless casualties! No one from Little Willow City came to save it."
For a time, there were cries and curses. Panic and despair filled this underground shelter with thousands of people.
When Xia Yu heard that the capital city had fallen, he was shocked. What happened to his family if the capital city fell? His eyes suddenly swelled, and he was at a loss for a moment.
At this time, there was a vibration on the ground, as if countless beasts were running wildly, and the vibrations and roars of beasts were endless.
There was a sudden thud, and the door of the shelter was broken down, followed by a roar, and dozens of wild boars the size of calves rushed in.
The wild boar's body hair was hard and its eyes were red, as if it had lost its mind. A pair of tusks were stained with blood, and there was still flesh hanging from the corners of its mouth. When it saw a living person, it rushed forward.
During the collision of the ferocious beasts, some people were killed. What is even more frightening is that more and more wild boars and ferocious beasts rush in, and both living and dead humans become the food of the ferocious beasts.
There were roars, chewing sounds, crashing sounds, and shouting sounds. The shelter at this time was like a purgatory on earth.
Xia Yu cheered up, suppressed the sadness and fear in his heart, and ran towards another exit of the shelter. Since the shelter had been discovered, it was better to go out and gain a chance of survival than to be slaughtered on the chopping block.
At the gate at the other end of the shelter, thousands of people rushed out, each trying to escape. But at this time, Liucheng had long been dominated by ferocious beasts. There was killing everywhere you looked, and blood was everywhere you breathed.
