"Who's there? Come out!"
Linnaeus looked at the collapsed overpass and spoke in a cold, sharp voice.
The silver-white scythe in his hand emitted a sharp hum.
Clearly, if the opponent continued to dodge, he was about to unleash a blade of energy.
"......"
The man hiding behind the bridge ruins hesitated for a moment, but finally came out with his hands raised.
"Boss, don't operate! I...I'm a fellow countryman!"
Linna raised an eyebrow.
"Humans?"
The man was a dark-skinned young man. It wasn't that his skin was particularly dark, but rather that his entire body was covered in filth, just like his tattered and worn-out clothes, which looked like they hadn't been washed in a long time. These were the marks that only a scavenger who wandered through wilderness ruins and garbage dumps would have.
The tattered sack on the young man's back confirmed his identity as a scavenger.
The tattered-clothed scavenger youth trotted over, excitedly saying, "Boss, you're amazing! So many demonic ants, and you wiped them all out with a single strike! You must be a superhuman!"
Lin Nai glanced at him, remained silent for a moment, and then put away the white night: "Yes."
“That’s great,” sighed the ragged young scavenger. “Sigh… I thought all the superhumans in this place were dead.”
"What exactly happened here?" Lin Nai asked, frowning. "How did Yecheng become like this?"
The young scavenger looked puzzled: "That's a strange question. Yecheng has been destroyed for more than three years. Why would you ask such a question?"
Linna and Yewan'er exchanged a glance.
Just as they guessed...
The last glimmer of hope in my heart was extinguished...
"You're saying Yecheng has been destroyed for three years?"
Linnaeus asked in a deep voice, "How did they perish?"
The young scavenger looked at him suspiciously again, then said, "It was the one three years ago, when the demonic tide invaded the human plane."
"The Yan Kingdom withstood the first wave of attack, but little did they know that it was just an appetizer. More than a dozen waves of demonic tides followed, producing over thirty Myriad Manifestation-level demonic generals. In the end, the entire Yan Kingdom perished in the terrifying demonic tides..."
"The entire Yan Kingdom? The entire Yan Kingdom has been destroyed?!" Although Lin Nai had considered this possibility, he still couldn't help but widen his eyes.
The young scavenger didn't understand why Linnai was reacting so strongly, and immediately shrank back.
“Yes, yes…” the young scavenger said, “Brother, the Yan Kingdom has been destroyed for so long, isn’t it too late for you to grieve?… Sigh… You’re like me, I’ve already accepted reality, it’s good enough that I’m alive.”
"Actually, Yan Kingdom resisted for a long time during that demonic tide, holding off several waves in succession. Other nations were basically wiped out in the first two waves of the demonic tide."
"What a pity, even heroes can't withstand sheer numbers... A demonic tide of hundreds of billions, so many demonic races joining forces to attack, and so many powerful demonic figures at the Myriad Manifestations level... Yan Kingdom's final war preparations were insufficient, and even a super-defensive city like the capital collapsed under the demonic tide..."
Lin Nai clenched his fist slightly. He was almost certain that the demonic tide the scavenger youth was talking about was the same demonic tide from back then.
During that demonic tide, the Jian Kingdom was initially subjected to a fierce attack, and it was initially thought that the demons had some reason for targeting the Jian Kingdom. Unexpectedly, the Yan Kingdom still could not escape that calamity.
After they fell into the void, what exactly happened in the human world?
"So now, there isn't a single city left in Yan Kingdom?" Lin Nai asked, staring at him.
Did not a single city manage to survive that monstrous tide of destruction?
“Yes,” sighed the young scavenger. “It’s not just Yan Kingdom; the entire human plane is devoid of cities… The demon race has completely taken over this plane. Those who survived are either captured and enslaved by the demon race or wander the wilderness, hiding in remote places, barely surviving by scavenging for scraps in the ruins of former cities…”
Linnaeus remained silent.
The young scavenger looked at Lin Nai's face, blinked, and suddenly said, "Huh? Speaking of which, your face... seems familiar, like I've seen you somewhere before. You weren't a celebrity, were you?"
Linnaeus still did not respond.
At this moment, Ye Wan'er stood beside her with her arms crossed and asked, "Judging from what you just said, there should be other humans around here?"
“Yes, of course,” said the young scavenger. “Almost all the extraordinary beings have been hunted down by those monsters. Those monsters seem to target extraordinary beings specifically, and they don’t seem to have much interest in us ordinary people. Maybe they think we ordinary people are just a bunch of ants, and there’s no threat to our lives…”
"I remember when Yecheng first fell, many people escaped using various methods and found places to hide. Most of those who escaped were some kind of superhumans."
"But those monsters are really powerful. I don't know what method they used to find all those superhumans."
"After the fall of the Yan Kingdom, in the first six months, some remaining forces attempted to organize the human survivors, wanting to unite and fight against the demon race. These included Confucianism, Taoism, and Mohism..."
"But in the end, these sects and forces were all wiped out one after another."
