"It's really chaotic here. What exactly happened?"

Mo Ran held a flashlight in one hand and a crowbar in the other, carefully exploring the area.

All the doors and windows leading outside were boarded up, and a large number of tables and chairs were piled up.

Such a complicated operation seems to be aimed at preventing something from getting in.

Mo Ran then arrived at a room with a long wooden table inside.

There were many collapsed wooden cabinets around, and a lot of paper documents were scattered around.

"It seems this place is similar to a meeting place."

Mo Ran flipped through the scattered papers. The papers were very fragile due to weathering, and would fall apart with the slightest touch.

Mo Ran had never seen the text recorded above before, but it was translated through the game.

Mo Ran also saw the contents above; they were all records about things related to the village.

After glancing at it briefly, Mo Ran gave up; the weathering was simply too severe.

After searching through the surrounding rooms, they found nothing of value.

Continue walking down the corridor, and after passing a corner...

A large number of tables and chairs appeared in the corridor, almost filling half of it.

Mo Ran carefully flipped over, stepping onto the table below and moving some of the chairs off the top.

At the end of the corridor, there was a wooden table.

Beside the wooden table, a skeleton was leaning against something.

Mo Ran slowly approached with a flashlight, and the appearance of the skeleton became clearer and clearer.

He was wearing a camouflage military uniform, and his two bony hands were tightly protecting his bulletproof vest on his chest.

"Were there people in this world originally?"

Looking at the skeleton in front of her, Mo Ran's scheming thoughts began to slowly rise in her mind.

Immediately afterwards, the area that the hands were protecting caught Mo Ran's attention.

Using the crowbar in my hand, I pried open the two bone hands and saw a pocket hidden inside the bulletproof vest.

Mo Ran slowly opened the pocket and took out a small notebook.

The notebook, kept in my pocket, was not significantly affected by weathering.

Mo Ran slowly pried open the lid and opened the small notebook.

By browsing the above content, it was discovered that it was written by a soldier named Parker.

"So your name is Parker. Let me see what you wrote, Parker."

After glancing at the skeleton, Mo Ran began to browse the contents of the diary by the light of her flashlight.

The preceding content records Parker's experiences during his military service.

It records the process of each day, as well as many special moments and events.

After quickly skimming through these unfamiliar pages, I moved on to the next one.

"Yes, found it."

After flipping through about three-quarters of the contents, Mo Ran found what she was looking for.

.

"On December 3rd, I was conducting my daily training with my comrades."

When noon arrived, we heard it—no, all of humanity heard it.

The sounds coming from the sky seemed to be communicating.

I don't know what they were talking about, but I suddenly felt extremely terrified.

The sound disappeared shortly afterward, and then the whole world was enveloped in a red light.

.

"On December 4th, since that sound appeared, almost the entire world has been plunged into panic."

Everyone felt immense fear towards this unknown thing.

Everyone's training was stopped, and everyone was discussing what happened yesterday.

.

"Everything has been normal since December 7th, nothing has happened."

Many people are still living in fear, but most have begun to return to normal life.

It's winter, but it feels like the weather is getting hotter and hotter.

.

"December 13th, the weather is getting hotter every day. It's supposed to be winter, but I feel like I'm in summer."

And strange things started happening; the dense forest seemed to be disappearing.

Many places that were once lush and green have now turned into fields of yellow sand.

.

"On December 18th, the weather got hotter and hotter, and it felt like our planet had turned into a fireball."

Desertification is becoming increasingly severe, and our world seems to be turning into a desert!

.

"December 23rd changed everything, completely and utterly changed everything. Our world underwent an irreversible transformation."

The temperature became unbearably hot, and the whole world had turned into a desolate wasteland filled with yellow sand.

In some places, lava even appeared on the ground and began to spread outwards.

It's not just the environment that's changing, but also the various organisms living in it.

Those creatures turned into monsters! Their bodies were covered in red pustules and sharp spikes.

They can breathe fire, their bodies become incredibly hard, and they are extremely ferocious!

.

"On January 17, my comrades came to a village to help the residents evacuate, but those monsters came too fast!"

The village chief led the residents to hide in the cellar in the center of the village, and my brother and I began to cover them.

The handwriting becomes intermittent here, and brown stains drip onto the notebook.

"I used the last of my strength to block the cellar entrance and moved tables and chairs to block the passage."

This is what I can do in the last moments of my life; I hope those monsters don't find this place.
