There was a strong pungent smell in the air, and Monica was not used to it. Not far away was an abandoned city. This was the first time in her life that she saw a city where humans once lived.
Many houses have almost completely turned dark, and a small part of them can still see their original appearance. It is already 9 o'clock in the morning. Monica did not come down that night, but walked for a while and found a shelter from the wind.
Place to sleep.
This was still on the outskirts of the city. Monica walked to the side of a road and looked at some dismantled cars and skeletons that had been integrated with the ground.
This was the first time Monica had seen these things, and her mother had never told her about what she saw. In the past, when Monica was a child, she had asked her mother many things about their journey after the apocalypse, but her mother had never mentioned it.
Monica has also watched some doomsday-themed movies and TV series, which are movies and TV series from human society in the past. She has always felt that they are exactly the same as those movies and TV series.
But now Monica doesn't think so. Everything in front of her looks creepy. She doesn't know what human energy was in the past. When she was sensible, although life was more difficult and she experienced heavy snow, for Monica
It seems like this is nothing.
Childhood memories kept resurfacing, and Monica recalled her mother's sad profile, which was the look her mother always showed every time she asked about the doomsday situation.
So Monica asked less and less frequently. Although she was still a little confused, she knew that her mother would be sad when she asked.
After Monica continued walking for a while, she saw a dilapidated house. When she walked over, she saw many corpses, which had hardened and turned black and could only be identified by their shape.
The tragic scene in front of me was probably that it was hit by artillery shells, and then the house collapsed. The people in the house must have died at that time.
Monica continued to walk forward, paying attention to everything around her. Her perception ability was very strong, and the gods had specially trained her in this aspect.
Soon Monica arrived at the entrance to the city. The scene in front of her made her extremely shocked. The whole street was full of corpses. This was something Monica could not imagine. She couldn't help but cover her mouth.
After arriving on the street, Monica felt a chill running down her spine. In addition to corpses, most of the surrounding houses were damaged to varying degrees. It was obvious that they were fighting over something, or that a massacre had occurred.
There was silence all around, except for the whining sound of the wind blowing from time to time, like some kind of whimpering.
Monica looked around. She had to find traces of activity before she could confirm something. Although she still doubted whether what Jade said was true, because Monica didn't see anything new now.
traces of activity.
Monica continued walking along the street. She looked around. At this time, Monica saw a house. When he walked in, he found that the house was full of broken things, and many things had signs of being demolished.
.
"Can such a world really survive?"
Monica couldn't help but become suspicious, because she had never thought about the end of the world. Maybe it existed, but it only existed in her own fantasy. She couldn't imagine how humans could survive at that time.
Soon Monica came to the end of a street. There were some collapsed houses in front of her. Monica felt something and she ran over. Sure enough, she saw the collapsed place. There were some traces of activity, and it was very new, similar to the surrounding ones.
Some environments seem out of place.
It was the trace of a car. Monica continued walking along the trace. She was already on high alert. As long as there was the slightest sign of trouble, Monica would immediately launch an attack.
At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps on Monica's left side, and in an instant Monica leaned over and jumped over.
Bang
With a loud noise, Monica's fist directly smashed through a wall, and the powerful red particles destroyed the front wall in an instant.
"Stop it Monica."
Whoosh
Monica deflected her fist, and in front of her was a frightened elite mutant from the Special Investigation Bureau.
"Deputy Director, you almost killed me."
Only then did Monica see clearly that it was Kramer leading three elite mutants.
"Why did you just come here? You obviously left before us."
Monica looked at the tired people and smiled helplessly.
"I was too sleepy in the middle of the trip, so I slept for a few hours."
Then Kramer took Monica to the end of the car's tracks on the ruins. The car disappeared on a road. The road was obviously dilapidated. If a car with such deep indentations drove past, it would definitely leave traces.
"We have searched many places in the south. Except for the relatively new traces here, there are no new traces elsewhere. Maybe they have been here before, but they did not have a stronghold here."
Monica took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff, while her three subordinates also looked around.
"Keep walking. I think we will get the results today. If there are no traces in other areas, we will go back, so that Jed guy can feel more at ease."
After Kramer finished speaking, he looked at Monica's expression. She looked a little dull, and there was something wrong in her eyes.
"What's wrong Monica?"
Only then did Monica remember that Kramer was someone who had experienced the apocalypse before and survived all the way. After all, he was almost 50.
"Can you tell me about it? How did you get here all the way? It was so miserable after all. The fact that you survived is really..."
"It's lucky."
Kramer laughed helplessly, and several other team members also came over with interest. They were already in this grassland when they began to remember.
"Actually, it's nothing. I'm really lucky."
Kramer looked at the four people helplessly. They all wanted to hear the story, and then Kramer pointed to a house not far away.
"Let's go over there and I'll tell you a little bit."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After a while, Kramer lit a cigarette, and he showed a somewhat unspeakable expression. Monica noticed that his expression was similar to that of her mother.
It's the same.
"Where do I start? By the way, I won't talk about my past."
Kramer lowered his head and fell into a brief silence, with a trace of sadness in his eyes, and then he began to speak.
Kramer originally took his fiancée to travel to a small tropical country in the southern part of State Y.
When the disaster happened, no one realized what happened, and the upper echelons of the country didn't know either. Because the country was too small, everyone could only see the colorful sky after the blazing white light in the sky.
In just 48 hours, riots broke out in the small country where Kramer and his family were located. He took his fiancée to hide in a small mountain village to escape the war, but soon everyone in the mountain village discovered that this was no longer the case.
War is so simple.
The food in the village began to dry up. In desperation, Kramer took his fiancée on the road after staying for less than a month. When he said this, Kramer fell silent.
"Did something unpleasant happen?"
Monica asked, Kramer thought for a moment and then said.
"It's nothing. On our way to escape, we were kidnapped by a group of people, and then... my fiancée was taken away and tortured every day. I thought about committing suicide countless times, but in the end I
No."
Monica swallowed, and the other three looked at Kramer comfortingly, and Kramer laughed.
"It has been almost 30 years, and I have never mentioned this to anyone."
After being patient for a month, Kramer finally found an opportunity to rescue his fiancée, who had been tortured and had mental problems, from the gang, and he ran away with his wife.
However, on the way to escape, they would often be accompanied by hunger. Kramer knew very well that they had to find a shelter. Later, Kramer and the others heard that they could see the sun if they walked to higher places.
As long as there is sunshine, he can survive. Kramer fled with his fiancée, who was in a very unstable mental condition, and passed through many big cities.
It's basically the same everywhere. Various gangs are constantly fighting with each other, and killings for food can often be seen.
People are the biggest threat, so Kramer and his fiancée would avoid people along the way, but his fiancée still died.
Under long-term mental and physical torture, Kramer went out to look for food one day. When he came back, his wife had disappeared. Kramer last saw her under a tall building. She had fallen to pieces.
Vague.
"Sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned it."
Monica said, Kramer shook his head.
"It's nothing. Some things are actually better to be spoken out. When I came here, I thought of many things in the past."
Kramer knew very well that what he saw before him was only a very small part of their escape journey in the past.
Kramer originally thought about dying with his wife, but the appearance of a woman saved him. She also escaped alone like Kramer. Under the woman's persuasion, Kramer agreed to go on the road with her.
The two experienced countless hardships and obstacles and finally arrived on this plateau. However, at that time they entered a relatively stable city, but everything in the city made them very clear that they had to go to a higher place.
OK.
After living in the city for a while and collecting some supplies and seeds, the two left. Their departure was correct because the city broke out in a war not long after they left.
"The last thing we came to was this city. We should have arrived here earlier than God."
