"What are you afraid of? I'm still here." This was all Shi Yin could promise. As long as she remained, the Flame Dragon Nation would not perish.
Facing the apocalypse, Shi Yin dec...
Having learned from previous experiences, Yanlong Kingdom was already very skilled. They said they would complete all arrangements within ten days, and by the eighth day, everything was already coming to an end.
Humans are more adaptable to their environment than they realize.
On the ninth day, the sky changed. The moon was shrouded in an eerie red, which was particularly dazzling under the gray sky.
When everyone woke up, they couldn't tell day from night. They waited until 11 a.m. but there was no light on the horizon. The sky was terribly gloomy and the temperature plummeted. The only thing that distinguished day from night was the red moon in the sky.
Humans and the lunar team lost contact.
From the very beginning, humanity has been sending research teams to the moon in batches, with the Yanlong Kingdom as the center.
While Shi Yin and her group were busy here, the nation was busy with a group of people on the moon.
While attempting to expand planting areas and lunar bases to provide humanity with a way to recover, they are also researching more advanced technologies to provide humanity with greater chances of survival.
After all, the moon is far from the zombie virus, and not many of the scientists and researchers here possess superpowers. On Earth, the safety hazards posed by the zombie virus and natural disasters are a huge problem.
Helmod and Toki worked together to open a machine similar to a teleportation portal. Due to the distance between Earth and the Moon and other factors, it required a lot of energy to open it once. The larger and more numerous the items being transported, the more energy was needed.
The situation is urgent, so the government sent a note briefly explaining the current situation and asking the lunar research team to wait patiently and not panic.
In fact, the researchers on the moon are in a state of constant anxiety because, from their perspective, the changes on Earth are enough to terrify them, and they worry every moment that humanity might become extinct.
In their eyes, Earth gradually transformed from a blue planet into a gray haze, then in a short time into a snowball, then into a pale blue ice ball, and later into a black mist, tinged with an eerie red hue.
Every day, the research team on the moon is drenched in sweat.
The people on Earth are also panicking. They were told it would be fifteen days, but that hasn't happened yet, which means they can hold on for at least a few more days.
In the past few days, online traffic has surged, forcing the government to allocate some resources to maintaining online order.
The long night and the red moon have arrived.
"Miss, it's time to attend the funeral." Nan Zhu knocked on the door and gently walked in.
These past few days, Shi Yin has been mostly alone. Apart from delivering meals, even Nan Zhu hasn't seen Shi Yin. All he knows is that Shi Yin has been staying in her room, and every time he goes in, Shi Yin is lying on a recliner.
However, the strange fragrance on Shi Yin's body was fading, which Nan Zhu guessed might be good news.
"I'll be there soon." Shi Yin's recliner was right next to the French windows. Hearing Nan Zhu speak, she slowly opened her eyes and looked out the window.
It's eight in the morning, but the outside is still shrouded in darkness, not the pure black of the dead of night, but a gloomy, terrifying darkness.
Overnight, many dead animals appeared on the snow.
The government has tried its best to bring small animals back, but it's impossible to protect them all. These stray animals and birds have left their nests for some reason and all died on the streets.
According to the shelter staff, the animals there have been very timid and anxious these past few days.
Animals like giant pandas raised by foster parents can only fall asleep when they are near their keepers. Even tigers and wolves have stopped biting and being fierce. They have even found strong superhumans and can only eat and sleep when they are close to them.
To settle them, Shiyin borrowed Tyr's cookies.
It was Shi Yin who dragged the brown bear out before killing the war knight. Little Biscuit and Shi Yin are very close and obedient. When Little Biscuit sat down among the animals, the surrounding animals calmed down considerably.
Nan Zhu wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Shi Yin's aura seemed weaker than at the beginning.
However, since Shi Yin told him to leave first, Nan Zhu wasn't going to be ungrateful.
Nan Zhu knew very well that being tough only applied when he was in a good mood and when he was useful, when Shi Yin gave him leeway.
At other times, he'd better behave.
So Nan Zhu walked straight out of the office and also turned Ji Chuan, who was eavesdropping outside the door and trying to find out what was going on, back inside.
Ji Chuan, who was sent away by Nan Zhu, dared not speak out against his anger.
There was nothing he could do; he simply couldn't defeat Nan Zhu.
For some reason, his emotional abilities initially affected Nanzhu, always managing to make Nanzhu pause. But later, Nanzhu seemed to become immune to it, completely ignoring him. In every match, he was easily defeated.
However, judging from Nan Zhu's expression, Ji Chuan knew that Shi Yin probably didn't want anyone to come in and disturb her. Freya and Lin Beiyue came twice but didn't go in.
Thinking of this, Ji Chuan obediently went to the cemetery.
Apocalyptic Cemetery.
The state specially designated a piece of land, around which stood many extraordinary people, who claimed to bury the remains of the victims or their belongings, and that they could help call back the souls of the dead and deliver the deceased from suffering.
It was difficult to distinguish between the real and fake, but the country still conducted a rigorous screening under the guidance of some capable individuals and selected a number of people to come.
Shi Yin thought it was unnecessary, but seeing how enthusiastic they were, she was too lazy to interfere and let them be.
The sky was so overcast that even the words on the tombstones were illegible, and the light and fire superpowered individuals barely managed to illuminate a patch of land.
People came in an endless stream. This was the first time there had been such a large-scale casualty incident, and the death of Major General Ye had been made public. With the permission of the state, kind-hearted ordinary people in the vicinity also came to the flower basket next to the tombstone and picked up a white daisy to place in front of the tombstone.
The journey here was so difficult; I slipped and fell with every step, arriving in the morning and back in the evening.
Some ordinary people managed to take a few steps, but eventually had no choice but to obediently go home and mourn online.
Ye Shaoheng stood in front of the tombstone for a long time, with people coming and going around him, until he was the only one left.
Ye Shaoheng was a little confused. Looking at the name on the tombstone and the fiery red energy core on the coffin, Ye Shaoheng finally had a sense that his grandfather was dead.
No one hit him with a cane anymore, no one lectured him anymore, and no one protected or stood up for him.
"You really do mess everything up." A man's voice suddenly rang out.
Ye Shaoheng suddenly clenched his fists, but his expression remained unchanged, as if he didn't care at all who the man beside him was.
"I heard that your grandfather died while on a mission with you. He said you were a jinx back then, but he insisted on keeping you alive." A man with a beer belly appeared.
He looked somewhat dejected, and his clothes were worn out, suggesting he wasn't doing well. Only his chubby face hinted that his facial features were still quite good.
"Um...who are you?" Ye Shaoheng was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised a smiling face and looked behind him.
"You!" The man seemed not to have expected Ye Shaoheng to retort to him, and was unable to speak immediately.
"Hmph, when you were little, you always had a cold face and wouldn't laugh even when I asked you to. You were so heartless. Now you laugh without a care in the world." The man sneered, "Having a kid like you around is bound to bring bad luck."
