Then, Zhang Yuan introduced the supermarket and his situation to them.
"Hello, we are from Earth in the 21st century. As you just guessed, I was the one who obtained the Alien Mall System, and this apocalypse is one of the alien worlds I opened."
"My name is Zhang Yuan, and I'm the owner of this shopping mall. The person next to me is Wang Jianguo, a former military commander in the 21st century."
Zhang Yuan had just finished introducing Wang Jianguo when Qian Fang interrupted him in surprise.
"Um, Brother Zhang, can I interrupt you for a moment?"
Zhang Yuan nodded doubtfully: "Well, go ahead."
Qian Fang glanced at Wang Jianguo and felt a little excited.
"Um, are you really from Earth in the 21st century? Was Commander Wang next to you the former Commander-in-Chief of the Huaxia Capital Military Region?"
Wang Jianguo was in a good mood and smiled: "Why, young man, do you know me?"
See, he is so powerful that people still remember him even in the end of the world.
Hey, that’s not right. Why do these people remember him?
Could this really be the end of the world?
Thinking of this, Wang Jianguo was shocked, and before Qian Fang could answer the previous question, he hurriedly asked.
"Hey, young man, you just said you're from Earth too? What century is it now? What year is it?"
At this time, the other big guys also reacted.
Everyone looked at each other nervously.
This is the end of the earth...
They rubbed their hands and waited for Qian Fang's answer.
Qian Fang looked at his girlfriend next to him, sighed, and slowly told her the current situation.
"Yes, we are also from Earth. It is now the 22nd century. According to the years before the apocalypse, it should be 2157 now."
Everyone gasped.
Who could have imagined that the coming end of the world would be the end of the Earth?
It turns out that the end of the world is real, there will really be an end of the world.
So what exactly caused the end of the world?
"Brother, what is the reason for this end of the world?" Zhang Yuan anxiously asked the question that everyone was wondering.
Facing dozens of pairs of eyes, Qian Fang sighed again.
"Before I answer your questions, can I first ask what specific year you are in?"
Zhang Yuan nodded and answered without hesitation: "December 2023."
After hearing this answer, Qian Fang and others looked sad.
Two girls in the team even covered their faces and sobbed.
Qian Fang was as hopeless as a dead ash, shaking his head in despair: "It's too late, too late, everything is too late."
Their reaction made everyone realize something.
Speculations arose in my mind.
But this speculation still needs to be confirmed from their mouths.
Zhang Yuan suddenly felt his lips were a little dry. He licked his lips and spoke with difficulty.
"What... late?"
Qian Fang's eyes were filled with sorrow as he spoke slowly, "On August 24, 2023, in the 21st century, the island nation began the first round of nuclear wastewater discharge. From that moment on, the Earth entered the beginning of the end of the world."
Everyone's guess was confirmed, and their hearts sank.
"After that, the island nation continued to release several rounds of nuclear wastewater, causing serious pollution to the ocean. The world tried every possible way to curb the discharge and flow of nuclear wastewater, but it was too late."
"The creatures in the sea committed suicide one after another, and the surviving creatures began to mutate over the next hundred years."
"At first, the water supply for human survival was sufficient, but the severity of the nuclear wastewater exceeded the imagination of all countries."
“Not only is the seawater severely polluted and impossible to purify, but even the air has begun to produce harmful substances.”
"2139 years before the end of the world, water for survival was in short supply. A large number of people began to die of thirst on Earth, and extremely hot and cold weather arrived."
"In 2149, the biological counterattack began, and the end of the world began."
"In 2152, the first zombies appeared on the human race. That same year, the internet in various countries collapsed, officially declaring the end of the world."
"In 2153, under various extreme circumstances, the first group of humans with special abilities awakened, and ten major bases around the world were built."
"In the years that followed, humanity began to slaughter each other. Not only did they fight against mutated humans, but also normal humans with ulterior motives. At the same time, they also had to fight against the revenge of various creatures."
"It is now the fifth year of the apocalypse. The global population has shrunk significantly, leaving less than 100 million people."
After Qian Fang finished explaining the origin of the apocalypse and the current situation, he fell silent.
Zhang Yuan and others also fell into silence.
Everyone was in a heavy mood.
Unexpectedly...
The island nation’s discharge of nuclear wastewater is actually the origin of the apocalypse.
Island nation! What a bastard that should have been wiped out in the river of history long ago!
This silence lasted for a long time until Wang Jianguo spoke, breaking the situation.
"So, we only have 129 years until the end of the world?"
His voice was low, but the meaning behind his words made everyone feel uneasy.
Xu Zhizhang fidgeted and twisted his body. "The end of the world is real. What can we do now?"
Qian Fang looked up at him, smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I don't know either. Anyway, the governments of various countries at that time took many countermeasures, but they still couldn't prevent the arrival of the apocalypse."
Wang Yongyuan pulled at his hair in frustration. "But now that we know our descendants will face the end of the world, we can't just do nothing, right?"
Zhang Yuan pursed his lips, feeling very uncomfortable.
In fact, looking at these descendants of the end of the world in front of us, we can understand how difficult the end of the world is.
They were dirty and smelled terrible, their hair was dull and their skin was dark and dry.
Everyone was skinny. Even Qiao Haibo, who looked the strongest among them, only looked strong.
Looking closely, there wasn't much flesh on his body.
Even their eyes were as dead as ashes, without any light or expectation for the future.
Just living numbly like a walking corpse.
Living by instinct.
Days like this are caused by those bastards from the island country.
Damn those bastards!
He had no regrets about slaughtering them all in the river of history.
I just regret that I shouldn't have let those people die so easily.
Zhang Yuan’s thoughts were racing.
He became more clear about his goal. He must open up more alien worlds as soon as possible and find a way to save the earth from various alien worlds.
Let people in future generations no longer face the pain of the end of the world.
At this time, Wang Jianguo had the same idea as Zhang Yuan.
He turned his head and glanced at Zhang Yuan. When they looked at each other, the expressions in their eyes were self-explanatory.
They must find a way to deal with nuclear wastewater in another world!
Perhaps the system is here to help the Earth survive this disaster!
