Section 1 The Man in the Ruins ()

I have never been afraid of death because I firmly believe that I will survive.

I have never tasted the taste of life, because from the moment I opened my eyes... I was already dead...

The seventh world, planet x35, end of the world calendar year 275...

It has been 275 years since the bright light of nuclear destruction. This once glorious planet has long since become a dead place. No matter how brilliant a civilization is, it will end one day. Most of the human beings who were once the spirits of all things have been created by themselves.

Killed with weapons. The remaining people can only struggle in despair and death...

No one can escape this place of death. Human beings must pay the price for their arrogance.

Dark clouds rolled in the sky, and strong winds swept the sand and gravel across the earth. They were like sharp blades, killing all creatures that dared to appear in front of them. This was a desolate land. Looking around, there were sharp rocks and rocks everywhere.

Large pieces of gravel, and occasionally you can see black steel bars protruding from the ground, just like the fangs of the devil.

This is a world of death... people who were alive once said so. At that time, they could still grab a little bit of supplies to sustain their lives under the threat of death winds. They could still see a little bit of sunshine every morning, and they could still get from abandoned buildings.

A little bit of dew collected on the steel bars of the building. Although the dew was far from enough to sustain everyone's survival, it was enough to give people hope. At that time, there were far less mutated creatures on the ground than there are today. People could also

Occasionally walk out of the hiding place, looking for hope of survival in a land full of radiation and death.

but now……

The death winds have been raging on this desolate land for decades. Faced with their terrifying speed of nearly forty meters per second, not many creatures dare to hope to survive. Mutated creatures that were once regarded as tigers and wolves are in front of it.

It is also as fragile as a baby. The earth has been completely torn apart. Rocks torn apart by strong winds are everywhere. The entire planet is rapidly becoming gravelly. It is difficult for people to see any green spots anymore.

On the current planet

The sky is covered with dark clouds, and the death winds are still venting their violence wantonly. But on the distant horizon, a huge city ruins are gradually showing their heads. As the view becomes closer, the outline of the ruins quickly enlarges. This is a

The ruins of a standard third-level pre-civilized city. High-rise buildings made of reinforced concrete are like a concrete forest. Looking around, there are huge collapsed buildings everywhere in the city. Although the strong winds are raging outside, under the obstruction of these buildings, entering the ruins

The wind is no longer so deadly. Near the entrance of the ruins, a tall building with more than thirty floors stands firmly. Its upper half has been broken, but the remaining building still has two numbers vaguely printed on it.

"27"

Ruin Shelter 27.

Under a concrete slab in the ruins, a pair of eyes were staring quietly at the open space not far away. The owner of the eyes was very quiet. Even if the strong wind blew and the sand and gravel hit the front and crackled, he would not blink.

.Under the shadow, he was like a lifeless stone. There was no breath of life at all.

Quiet, I don't need to breathe. That would give me away.

The heartbeat slows down little by little. I will become one with the environment.

I am a stone, a lifeless stone.

It doesn't see me, it doesn't feel me.

I am a stone, a lifeless stone...

Under the concrete slab, Xue Tong's eyes were fixed on a huge black figure thirty meters away. It was a sandworm. He had been waiting for five hours for his prey. Although in this damn apocalypse, most animals

The body tissue of the insect is inedible. But the sandworm is an exception. There is always some uninfected meat in its bloated body, and it is plump and juicy.

Strictly speaking, sandworms are not too dangerous prey. Although they have a body length of more than five meters and a thick body, they usually lurk in the sand sea and do not actively attack tourists. But this one is an exception.

An hour ago, Xue Tong saw with his own eyes that three predators who tried to get close to it were eaten. The sandworm has a very good appetite, and any food can satisfy its stomach. So now there are no hairs left on the three predators.

Down.

Gently covering his mouth and nose, Xue Tong tried to hide himself deeper so as to gain an advantage in the upcoming hunt.

He is also a hunter. In the apocalypse, this is a profession that most men have. But Xue Tong is different from ordinary hunters. He knows how to hide, observe, and use his natural weapons.

So he easily knew what was different about the sandworm today. It was a sandworm about to lay eggs, because only during this period would they crawl out of the sea of ​​sand outside the city and enter the ruins.

For the scrap steel bars that can be seen everywhere in the ruins, these steel bars will provide the metal elements needed by the sandworms so that they can lay eggs more smoothly and the small sandworms will be stronger.

But sandworms during this period are also the most dangerous. Those predators were eaten because they did not pay attention to this. Sandworms during the ovulation period are extremely aggressive and will attack any creature that tries to get close.

And its unique mouthparts can expand to three meters in diameter. The sharp teeth inside are enough to chew up metal plates in an instant. Xue Tong watched the three predators being eaten by sandworms. From his perspective

From a distance, one could even hear the crunching sounds of sandworms chewing bones and the screams of predators. But he watched motionless, his eyes cold and heartless.

This is the end of the world, and moral emotions have long ceased to exist. All life is working hard to stay alive.

"So, soo, soo, soo..." A strange sound came from the front. The sandworm finally ate a scrap steel bar and burped with satisfaction. It looked like a fat, white maggot, with only its head.

There was a hole in the location. Normally, it would hide in the sand. But today, it had to enter the ruins of the city, so it had to expose its body to the surface.

The floor of the ruins is made of cement and steel. Even sandworms cannot easily penetrate it.

The blood pupils under the shadow still hide their aura, watching the prey quietly. The satiated sandworm will return to the sand sea along the same path. This is his chance. For this moment, he has buried himself on the road where the sandworm came.

More than 30 sharp steel bars were installed. Whenever a sandworm passes by, the sharp steel bars will scratch its belly and pull out its internal organs.

"So, soo, soo, soo..." The sandworm was still making that weird sound. After finishing eating, it finally began to return. Slowly like a giant maggot, it stretched and shrank, leaving traces of traces on the road it crawled over.

The disgusting mucus is dripping down. Gradually, it is getting closer to the trap of the blood pupil.

Xue Tong's breathing began to quicken. The hand covering his mouth and nose gradually became harder. On the other hand, he held a sharpened steel bar tightly. Green veins popped out on the back of his hand.

Five meters...

Three meters...

Xue Tong was not far from the trap, so he could clearly see the sandworm approaching a little bit, and then crawling over the place where he set the trap. The sandworm had no eyes, so it didn't know the originally safe way to come.

At this moment, it is covered with sharp steel bars that look like criss-crossing teeth.

"Ouch!"

The crawling sandworm suddenly let out a roar and curled up suddenly. At that moment, Xue Tong clearly saw a long wound on its abdomen. Green mucus continued to flow out of it.

It's time! The blood pupil rushed out fiercely. The power he had accumulated for five hours exploded completely at this moment. He was like a cannonball flying to the ground. His sprinting movement was very strange, not like ordinary people.

Instead of running on two legs, he is on all fours like a cheetah. This posture not only makes his movements more explosive, but also more flexible. He can change directions at any time by relying on the power of his hands on the ground.

These are all changes made in order to survive. Xue Tong adapts easier than most people, so he is still alive until now.

A distance of just tens of meters passed by under the rush of Xue Pu. He had already arrived near the back of the sandworm. Because he was so well hidden, the sandworm did not notice his presence at all. But out of instinct, the sandworm

The insect still sensed the impending danger and let out a harsh roar.

At this moment, Xue Tong jumped up fiercely.

He knew that the sandworm was about to start an instinctive counterattack, spitting out extremely corrosive acid from its mouth. This spitting would cover all directions. If it was touched by the acid, it would be dissolved in an instant.

But this was the moment he was waiting for. In an instant, the muscles in his legs stretched powerfully, giving him explosive power. With this jump, he actually jumped more than three meters high. He immediately stepped onto the back of the sandworm.

Then he jumped three times in a row and climbed onto the sandworm's neck using both hands and feet. He raised his right hand, and the sharp steel bar had already pierced the top of the sandworm's mouth.

There was a sarcoma-like bulge there.

"Pfft!" With a sound, the sarcoma was pierced by the steel bar, and a large ball of white pulp exploded. Xue Tong rushed forward without caring, and began to devour it in big mouthfuls. This is the brain of the sandworm. The sarcoma is sandworm

The insect's brain is usually hidden and will only be revealed when it is about to spit out acid. In order to obtain this information, Xue Tong spent two pieces of high-quality copper ore on the black market.

"Ouch!" The sandworm let out a roar of pain, rolling and squirming desperately. However, Xue Tong's fingers were like steel claws that sank deeply into its body. It didn't let go without saying anything. It swallowed in big mouthfuls, while

Try your best to hang yourself on the sandworm, just like an octopus. In this case, no matter how hard the sandworm tries, it can't hurt him. At most, it will add some scratches on his body due to the struggle and rolling.

The sandworm struggled desperately and roared. Its huge body rolled on the ground, stirring up large amounts of dust. At the same time, it spat out a large amount of green liquid. As soon as the liquid splashed onto the ground, a large amount of white mist emerged, corroding the ground.

Big holes one after another.

The blood pupil escaped most of the acid because it was tightly attached to the sandworm, but he still accidentally got a little bit of it when the sandworm was rolling. Immediately, his clothes were corroded and his skin felt burned.

The pain was so painful that his body twitched involuntarily. But he was already hanging on to the sandworm and wouldn't let go no matter what.

Anyone who can survive in the apocalypse must learn to be ruthless, not only to the prey, but also to themselves.

Xue Tong knew that although the sandworm's acid was terrible, a little contamination would not dissolve him. At most, it would be just pain. But if he couldn't hold on and fell, he would be swallowed by the sandworm in an instant.

The sandworm was still struggling fiercely. As a creature of the apocalypse, it has a very strong vitality. But the outcome of this hunting was already doomed from the beginning. After struggling continuously for more than ten minutes, the sandworm's movements finally slowed down.

In the end, it stopped moving. When the last trace of life disappeared from its body, the blood pupils fell from its body, and then it sat down on the ground.

At this moment, his body was already covered with scars. There were even large traces of corrosion on his back. But he remained expressionless as he easily pulled out a large bag of tools from his hiding place and began to decompose the sandworms.

His fight with the sandworm lasted for more than ten minutes. Xue Tong didn't know if anyone would notice and rush over at this moment. But he still didn't want to take a chance.
