Mr. Zhou completed his mission and lay forever under the flowering tree. The mysterious Minister Jiang also rested in peace in the battlefield. General Huo Xi ordered General Li Shanyi to lead people to search several times, but they could not find her. They only found hundreds of tons of frozen meat, dozens of tons of salt, and countless kinds of seeds in the same place.
People speculated that these might be the stockpile in Jiang Zhi's space, which she moved out before she left. Regardless of whether she was dead or not, she had done everything she wanted to do.
So people erected a monument dedicated to Jiang Zhi under the flowering tree, and sculpted statues of her and Mr. Zhou in her memory.
The little thrush emerged from its suitable habitat and found itself in a devastated world. There was only a purple flowering tree at its feet where it could perch. It felt that the scent of this tree was very familiar, so it made its home there.
Through its bright, expressive eyes, one can see the world gradually changing.
Humanity continues to move forward.
Even if the world were to return to peace, it would become a wasteland, and humanity would have to rebuild its homes on the ruins.
Restoring the Earth's ecology on its own is far too slow. Humans must know how to act prudently, plant trees, cultivate land, and accelerate production.
One generation plants the trees, another enjoys the shade.
People threw themselves into the intense and complex work of post-disaster reconstruction, striving to return to normal life as soon as possible.
Those who originally possessed superpowers lost their abilities overnight, leaving behind only bodies slightly better than ordinary people. Losing superpowers is extremely painful, but nothing is more meaningful than living. Rather than dwelling on it or giving up on oneself, it's better to live in the present.
The mutated beasts completely withdrew from the Earth's world. With the development of production, the restoration of mountains and rivers, and the protection of the environment, humans were surprised to discover some ancestral beings. A tiger with horns—the saber-toothed tiger—appeared.
So are they experiencing a primitive society?
This is the beginning of a new cycle.
It came at the cost of the extinction of hundreds of millions of lives.
Therefore, we should have reverence for all living beings, and therefore we should live well.
Thirty years after the end of the apocalypse, in a high school classroom in the third district of China, a student who was fast asleep suddenly smashed his desk in half with a punch... This marked the beginning of the era of high martial arts.
*****************Divider*****************
After parting ways with Jiang Zhi, Yan Zhi and Wang Wan hurried on their way, encountering many mutated beasts along the way.
Wang Wan is a psychic with precognitive abilities. It was this ability that allowed him to evade countless high-level mutated beasts and save the lives of the two of them.
But what's terrifying in the apocalypse isn't just the mutated beasts, but also the deceitful and horrifying people.
When people lose the constraints of morality, law, and power, they become something more terrifying than wild beasts.
They encountered some small private bases along the way, but due to the freezing temperatures, they couldn't produce more food. So, these people set their sights on vulnerable human groups, and some even imitated ancient black market shops, openly killing and eating their own kind.
Some people brazenly gathered dozens of women in their harem and controlled the food rations of an entire base, effectively becoming local tyrants in the chaotic world.
Unfortunately, in the face of natural disasters, everyone is equal. Even large official bases struggle to operate, let alone small ones. These filthy bases were quickly swallowed up by wave after wave of beast tides, and of course, their involvement was undeniable.
Jiang Zhi disapproved of the act of cannibalism and even destroyed the vast Bright Base for it. As Jiang Zhi's die-hard fans, the two destroyed countless small bases like this and gradually amassed a group of superhumans who followed them.
Until they arrived at the Mohe base and took their seats at the center of the base's power.
…………
My name is Yan Zhi. Before the apocalypse, I was an acrobat. I had some skills to rely on. Acrobatics is not easy, and the troupe was about to go out of business when the apocalypse came.
I'm an orphan. During the extreme heat, I was working odd jobs in an underground shopping mall. Luckily, I managed to store up some food and water, which allowed me to survive the early stages of the apocalypse. But I never expected that after the extreme heat came extreme cold. I had no choice but to migrate with the main group. It was on the way to the base that I awakened my metal-type ability.
I didn't tell anyone about this. My experience in the orphanage taught me what it means to be cold-hearted and cruel, and I suffered a lot in the variety show troupe. So I don't trust anyone in this life, I only trust myself.
On the street, I met a crazy, immature guy who said his name was Wang Wan. Wang Wan loved to hit on me, which I found utterly disgusting. He was probably obsessed with Psyduck, which made him seem even more like a lunatic.
His only use is probably as a superhuman, and he's also very thorough in his work.
Aside from his obsession with Psyduck, Wang Wan actually has no flaws. Even in sub-zero temperatures, he would share half of his life-saving food with me. Once, when we encountered a tough mutant beast, he didn't run away but charged ahead instead.
I've called this idiot a fool countless times, but he always greets me with a smile.
Later, we entered the Shuofang base, where we met the person who changed Wang Wan and me for the rest of our lives—Jiang Zhi.
I've gotten used to being cold and hard, so when Jiang Zhi knocked on the door for the first time, I was very wary. She just thought it was noisy downstairs, and I thought it would end badly. I didn't expect that she and Wang Wan had actually met before.
So I became familiar with them.
To be honest, her killing of Li Erwei was entirely within my expectations, because I smelled a strong stench of blood when I first met her.
She must be a very strong person; that's the most direct impression I got from her.
Later, we formed a team, but since there were only three of us, we didn't register at the Shuofang base.
