Chapter 268: Man and Beast



Since the end of World War II.

Human beings live in peace because of the existence of nuclear weapons.

Except that one island was hit by two nuclear weapons.

There has never been another credible nuclear strike.

So far.

The Earth enters the Age of Deterrence.

It was also a relatively peaceful era.

Although I don’t know how long this peace will last.

But because of the existence of nuclear weapons, there is indeed no large-scale war between major powers on Earth.

Any escalation of military action.

They all need to consider the opinions of nuclear-weapon countries.

After all, this is an age of nuclear weapons.

Once the war reaches a white-hot stage.

Although the nuclear weapons stockpiled by humans do not have much impact on the earth, they are enough to overturn the entire human civilization and rebuild it countless times.

No one dared to fire the first shot, lest they open Pandora's box.

As a result, all of humanity is pushed into the abyss of death.

This is a result that no one can bear.

But today is different.

Ever since seven huge black energy barriers covered an area of ​​more than 10 million square kilometers early yesterday morning, and since countless abyss monsters have appeared in every corner of the earth.

Everything has changed.

First, a nuclear weapon was experimentally dropped on the black energy barrier circle in northern Africa.

The result is that it has no effect.

The energy and radiation were all directly absorbed by the black energy barrier.

It didn't even cause the slightest ripple.

However, nuclear weapons did not remain sealed.

Until the next morning.

Several countries that still retained some strength and were not completely destroyed began to discuss.

Among them, the major countries such as China, the United States, Britain and Europe have the right to speak.

In video conference.

In view of Yong Zhou's semi-open attitude, Zhang Shouquan brought Raven 1001 to the meeting.

The talking raven confused everyone.

Raven's introduction to his own background made those who were not aware of it even more confused.

Zhang Shouquan's operation.

It not only explains the approximate origin and current serious situation of the abyss monsters.

It is also a reminder to all the countries that are not aware of this: those extraordinary people who suddenly appeared in your country to help are all good people, and they definitely have a big background. If you take advantage of the war to do something small, you will be punished later! Such words.

This made some of the national representatives at the meeting look visibly unnatural.

However, this was not taken seriously by representatives from all parties.

The main topic of the meeting continued.

Representatives from various countries generally reached a consensus on the global combat strategy to deal with the monsters from the abyss.

The distribution of various war zones and the mobilization of resources in various places are arranged by the command center headed by a major country.

In this global race war.

The four major powers demonstrated amazing dominance in combat power.

Naturally, various countries did not reject their arrangements.

After all, if we don’t find a way to deal with those abyss monsters, most of the countries participating in the meeting will be destroyed.

To be precise.

They are on the road to national extinction.

There seems to be no other way except to follow the instructions, fight hard and pray for rescue.

In the end, the meeting decided to go ahead with launching the nuclear bomb.

According to the plan, this ultimate weapon is needed to strike against some of the tougher forces of the abyss monsters.

It's just the launch of nuclear weapons.

We still need everyone's joint discussion.

………………………………

And just when people outside the circle were still able to organize their forces and prepare for a unified plan of resistance.

Inside the black energy barrier circle.

It's basically a mess.

All seven circles are in a precarious state.

In the circle covering East Asia, Linjiang City.

In the ruins of a collapsed high-rise building.

The short-haired girl was crawling under the rubble and cracked concrete slabs, being so cautious that she didn't even dare to breathe.

This is the ruins left by the battle between the monsters and the teams that were walking around the city to rescue the survivors, during the period between the end of the first wave of attacks and the arrival of the second wave.

On the ruins.

The huge spider-like monster leaped into the distance.

This is a super giant spider, more than ten meters tall.

This monster seemed to be wearing shiny black armor, and every movement it made was enough to make a loud noise.

The surface of its shell is dark and reflective, like an exoskeleton made of black metal and then polished.

The surrounding concrete stones were crushed by it from time to time, and the human corpses and occasional monster corpses that could be seen everywhere were also stepped on by it.

therefore.

The spider monster's sharp feet were covered with blood, flesh and dust.

The spider monster's sharp feet created small potholes wherever it passed.

The ruins thus became even more pitted.

At the same time, blood flowed down the spider's legs, filling the pits.

It looks scary.

This is the black spider.

A powerful monster with first-level spiritual power.

Among the vast majority of invading level zero spiritual power monsters, they are considered to be a relatively strong minority.

The girl didn't want to mess with her.

So I chose to hide early.

Fortunately, this black spider was just like the one she had seen in the Eternal Day Monster Encyclopedia, and its perception abilities such as vision, hearing and smell were not very sharp.

It didn't spot her.

The girl waited for a long time until she saw the spider monster walking away through the gap, and then she carefully crawled out from under the ruins.

Looking at the hamster Meow Meow that he had been holding in his palm, he saw that its body shape was gradually returning to normal and it was no longer the skinny look it had before.

Lin Miao breathed a sigh of relief.

When retreating from the Linjiang City base.

Fortunately, she brought twelve tubes of special injections for the hamster Meow Meow, which could help it quickly recover its consumed strength.

Otherwise, after the hamster Meow Meow used up all of his energy, he wouldn't be able to recover so well in just a dozen minutes.

However, the hamster Meow Meow is in a state that requires some time to recover, which means that she does not have much fighting power during this period.

and……

Only three of the twelve tubes of special injections are left.

These days, she and the hamster Meow Meow have been on high alert and have had to consume too many injections.

Fortunately, this injection is very effective and has no side effects. It can even regulate the body, so the hamster Meow Meow was fine after using nine injections in just half a day.

But anyway.

She had to act cautiously at this moment.

The few injections and the unconscious hamster Meow forced her to do this.

Thinking of this, she looked at the hamster Meow Meow.

Then he immediately continued to move quickly among the ruins.

The dangerous environment did not allow her to be dazed.

Having a police father, being exposed to the endless daylight for a long time, being baptized by the spiritual power of the hamster Meow Meow, and the change of mind brought about by the sudden doomsday...

These factors add up.

What made Lin Miao transform was completely different from usual.

She doesn't look like a junior high school girl.

The moment when I cut off my long hair in the large-scale air-raid-proof shower room AQ247.

She has become a warrior.

Cutting hair is not just for showing one's determination.

It is also for faster and less affected actions.

Although still looks immature.

But in terms of mentality, he is already very close to a warrior.

Lin Miao knew that Brother Wei was doing this for her own good.

So don't let yourself go out.

She also knew that this part of the manpower of the large-scale civil defense measures AQ247 had to be considered for the survivors in the shelter.

Especially at the end of the second wave of offensive, when humans were slightly defeated on the main battlefield, many monsters spread towards the surrounding cities.

The combat effectiveness of the large-scale civil defense measure aq247 is good enough to quietly clear out the surrounding monsters and guide the direction of the surrounding monsters.

No more messing around! However, Lin Miao's eagerness to find his parents and Uncle Ying Zhongtang made him choose to sneak away from under the eyes of Captain Li Hongtu, who was tired and asleep.

She doesn't blame anyone.

But since the shelter won’t send anyone.

Then go by yourself! Lin Miao, through yesterday's observations and Captain Li Hongtu's security authority token, came to the last gate of the large-scale civil defense measures of AQ247 in a relatively reasonable way.

Then, after some psychological preparation.

She rushed out with Meowth.

Miaomiao's electric shock ability has improved a lot under Yongzhou's training.

It was easy to knock everyone out.

After that, the search began in the doomsday city outside the shelter.

With the powerful strength of Hamster Meow Meow at the first level and her cautious judgment.

Lin Miao spent the first night.

And successfully arrived at a place far away from the large civil defense measures of AQ247.

It was still some distance from the Xiafei Road Public Security Bureau in Linjiang City where she had planned to go.

Thinking.

Lin Miao couldn't help but quicken his pace.

After leaving the ruins of the collapsed high-rise building, what comes into view is a food street.

This place has changed a lot compared to its past appearance.

The street should be bustling.

But at this moment it is dead silent.

There was not a single unnecessary sound among the chaos of vehicles, stalls and buildings.

Even the birdsong that was supposed to be there in this new morning.

It has also completely disappeared.

The streets should be fragrant.

At this moment, there is more of a pungent smell.

Lin Miao knows.

This smell is called "death".

There was the smell of blood, the sour smell of decay, and a mixture of various smells.

Fortunately, Lin Miao has gotten used to this taste in the past few days.

He just frowned.

Then, without hesitation, he bent over and headed towards the depths of the food street.

It's closer this way.

And it does seem safer here.

There are no huge monsters at the high level, peak level, or even level two spiritual power level, lying across a building or a street.

Lin Miao still remembers it.

She was hiding in a residential building to rest last night.

I heard the earth shaking.

When she looked out through the crack in the window stealthily.

A huge piece of meat was found moving.

This translucent piece of meat.

It is so huge that it is more than 40 meters high.

The huge shaking sound was caused by it knocking down a small building.

It was a huge piece of shit-yellow flesh, which at first glance looked like a wriggling translucent jelly.

But inside.

You can see the remains of countless humans and even monsters being corroded inside its transparent body.

She understood at that moment.

This city, and even every corner is covered by the huge black energy barrier above.

It is possible that such a huge monster exists.

Adhering to the principle that big means strong.

She knew that this was a monster that must not be touched and must be kept away from.

She had no doubt that she and the hamster Meowth would be killed instantly by this monster.

Fortunately, the building where she slept that night was not knocked down by the monster, so she did not end up dying like the countless screaming survivors that night.

And now look at this food street.

There are no tall buildings and no huge monsters can be seen at a glance.

Plus, this is also a shortcut.

There is nothing to hesitate about.

Lin Miao took two steps at a time and moved through the food street as quickly as possible.

It has the spiritual energy immersion ability of Hamster Meow Meow, which has been identified by Yongri and strengthened through targeted training.

Lin Miao has been immersed in a lot of spiritual energy for a long time, and his physical fitness has improved a lot.

Perhaps it is because matter determines consciousness, and her changing state of mind over this period of time may have had an impact on her gradually growing strength and body.

In a sense.

She has actually already embarked on the path to transcendence.

Although he has not awakened his spirituality and has not reached the level of a level zero transcendent.

But it is not difficult to overcome the various obstacles in this food street.

Lin Miao easily avoided or jumped over the overturned vehicles, and silently ignored the corpses that did not resemble human beings.

Among the monsters in the abyss, there are types that eat people.

However, there don't seem to be many in Linjiang City.

So along the way.

Lin Miao has also seen a lot.

I won't be shaken by these things anymore.

Until they passed by a convenience store whose door, window glass and walls were mostly shattered and the entire small bungalow was about to collapse.

Lin Miao couldn't help but stare.

Looking through the hole in the wall, the shelves in the convenience store were all over the floor.

The cargo seemed to have been cleared out.

And in the middle of the convenience store there is a pool of relatively fresh blood.

A middle-aged woman was lying in a pool of blood.

His lower body was in a disfigured state, with a sharp axe stuck in his neck.

Looking at this scene, Lin Miao was stunned.

Although she is only in junior high school.

But it’s not like I don’t understand everything.

In this Internet age, children are always more mature than before.

She knew exactly what had happened to this woman.

I also understand that the axe on the woman's neck was undoubtedly caused by a human.

This made her silent, as she had witnessed countless monsters wreaking havoc on humans along the way.

Although she is mentally mature.

But her young mind still received a fairly strong shock.

Now is the crisis and doomsday of mankind.

Monsters from the abyss are killing in every corner.

But why...

At this time, there are still people...

Becoming like a monster, like a beast? After a long silence, Lin Miao clenched his fists and turned his head away, no longer looking at the woman lying in a pool of blood.

She continued to walk forward.

But this time, her steps seemed to be particularly heavy.

Looking at the person on my shoulder who had just woken up.

Meow the hamster, who was currently rubbing her face with his little paws to comfort her.

Lin Miao’s thoughts became even deeper.

The end brings the beast.

The end of the world also turned people into beasts.

Thinking.

Lin Miao slowly and firmly spoke to the human-like hamster Meow Meow: "Meow Meow..."

"Tell me where that guy is."

She knew that Hamster Meowth understood who she was talking about.

She also knew that the hamster Meow Meow had an extraordinary sense of smell to search for the location of others.

She had no other ideas.

only……

The axe is fierce.

But her knife was not bad either.
