Volcanic ash, rock powder, and soil particles blocked the light, and the sky and the earth fell into darkness. The valley formed its own space, as bright as day, and was not affected by changes in the external environment.
However, the ground shook just now, and the valley also shook a few times.
"In the end times, the truly terrifying thing isn't the lack of supplies, but the changed human heart! Living a barely surviving existence for a mere morsel of food, their emotions can no longer withstand the test."
"Will food be in short supply? Will people lose their morals and become bad because of food?"
Xue Ling muttered, with a puzzled look in her eyes.
Lu Tian smiled.
Bad, so bad it's oozing pus!
Some people can no longer be called human beings.
If you have never experienced the end of the world, you will never know how bad people can be.
Murder and robbery are child's play. They may act like brothers on the surface, but stabbing you in the back is nothing special.
Eating one's own children is still somewhat humane, as even a tiger won't eat its own cubs.
The most cruel thing is that they raise their own children like worms, slowly cutting off their flesh and eating it, with techniques comparable to those of a butcher, and they can still keep the person alive after being cut into pieces thousands of times.
"This is certain. From now on, the Earth will not see sunlight for a long time. Plants will be unable to photosynthesize and will wither and die. Crops will not be able to grow and mature, and herbivorous animals will die from lack of food. Therefore, food becomes a non-renewable resource. Every additional person means more consumption!"
"Well, do we have enough food stored?"
Xue Ling was startled and ran to the cool room, but came back relieved after a while.
"It's okay, it's okay, we don't need to worry about food."
Lu Tian rolled his eyes. They would never use up all the items in the cold room even if they spent thousands of years. Why should they worry about it?
He continued, "Although every country has strategic food reserves, much of it was destroyed in this disaster, and some were even infected by the evolving virus, making it inedible. So if you were the leader, what would you do?"
“Reduce consumption!”
"Yes, it's about reducing consumption, but this method is too cruel. The law of the jungle, survival of the fittest, is vividly portrayed in the apocalypse! In order to survive, will people still uphold morality? Will there still be a bottom line?"
Hearing this, Xue Ling and Lin Qian fell into deep thought!
Roar!
There were bursts of roars coming from outside the valley, as if someone was enduring great pain.
Xue Ling and others showed a trace of horror on their faces. Lin Qian covered Niu Niu's ears to block out the sound of the beast.
"The evolutionary virus has broken out. The animals on Mount Putuo have begun to mutate, transforming into wild beasts."
Lu Tian stood up, his eyes seemed to penetrate the valley and look into the distance.
After the apocalypse broke out, his perception was restricted just like last time. Even though he had now broken through to the state of concentration, he was unable to break out of a radius of one kilometer.
Lu Tian could only feel a pair of blood-red eyes shining through the gray mist.
There are many wild animals in the Putuo Mountain Scenic Area, and many meteorites have been thrown there, which has caused Putuo Mountain to be shrouded in gray fog. All animals cannot escape the fate of being infected. These animals either die silently or mutate into wild beasts.
"There are so many mutated wild beasts in Putuo Mountain this time!"
Lu Tian felt powerful aura fluctuations from many places and was a little surprised.
The probability of an evolving virus evolving is less than one percent, but the probability of this mutation is much higher.
Within Lu Tian’s perception range, five animals mutated into wild beasts, namely two monkeys, a toad, a rabbit, and a leopard.
There are hundreds of miles of undeveloped areas in Putuo Mountain, and there are countless wild animals hidden there. I don’t know how many of them will mutate into wild beasts this time.
…
In the Magic City, although missiles intercepted many meteorites in the meteor shower, many slipped through the net and fell on roads, parks, squares, and residential areas. Many buildings were severely damaged, and the whole world was filled with cries, shouts for help, and the roar of collapsing buildings.
A residential building was hit and destroyed by a meteorite shower.
After the meteorite fell to the ground, gray mist immediately erupted, enveloping everything around it.
roar!
In the gray fog, there were roars that sounded like neither human nor beast. Pairs of blood-red eyes shone through the gray fog, making people shudder.
Soon, several tall and strong humanoid monsters rushed out from the gray mist. They were mutated orcs.
They roared and rushed into other residential buildings. The security doors in the corridors were like paper in their hands and could not stop their steps. In an instant, exclamations and screams echoed one after another in the residential area.
“Help!”
A sturdy man, wearing thermal underwear, ran out of the corridor covered in blood in a panic. As soon as he got out of the corridor, he fell to the ground and struggled to get up. However, the extremely cold temperature made his limbs become stiff in the blink of an eye.
boom!
A figure fell from the sky, and a wild beast with human intestines hanging from its mouth jumped down from the building, covered in blood, and appeared in front of the man.
Without waiting for the man to call for help, the orc grabbed him violently and tore him in half. Blood splattered into the sky and solidified into blood-red crystals before it hit the ground.
Such scenes can be seen everywhere in the community. After an unknown amount of time, the community became deathly silent, and the sound of gnawing could be heard in the darkness, harsh and terrifying!
The Magic City suffered extensive damage this time, and many infrastructure facilities are no longer operational.
For example, the power system, water pipes, and natural gas pipes have all failed. Even if conditions permit, workers cannot work outdoors due to the current extreme cold weather, and repairs cannot be carried out in the short term.
For a long time, the city's power supply, water supply, and gas supply could not be restored to normal.
Everyone hopes that things will get better tomorrow.
But Lu Tian knew that these people’s wishes would be dashed. The sky would not get brighter tomorrow, and people would not be able to see the shadow of the sun in the east.
Whether you see it or not, the sun is there.
But people can no longer see it because the atmosphere is covered by volcanic ash, rock powder, soil, etc., and sunlight cannot penetrate.
Until the dust settles, humanity will be groping and crawling in the dark.
What’s even more terrifying is that without sunlight, the temperature drops rapidly and humans begin to enter an ultra-low temperature environment.
Polar night, extreme cold, lack of supplies, the human disaster began.
"The sound is gone, can we go out and take a look now??"
The outside of the valley became quiet, but Xue Ling couldn't suppress her curiosity and was eager to try something new.
Lin Qian and her daughter were also somewhat tempted.
Only a piece of sky could be seen in the valley. The few people were like sitting in a well and looking at the sky, with no idea what was happening outside.
The meteorite space descended into the valley and merged into the real world, but it was also independent. For Xue Ling and others in the meteorite space, the end of the world was like watching a 3D movie. They could not feel the horror of the end of the world at all.
"There's no way out there either. Gray fog has already enveloped Mount Putuo. If you touch it now, you'll die."
Lu Tian drank beer and smacked his lips in dissatisfaction. The beer was a little too hot, so he had to find a place to cool it down. Ice beer was more enjoyable.
