"Hehehehe, as long as you take a stone and turn it twelve times in front of the mirror at midnight, you will be able to summon me and fulfill any wish that you can afford …"
Ah!
Situ Mo woke up from his nightmare with cold sweat all over his body.
Beside the tattered bed, his exhausted wife woke up and looked at Situ Mo.
"What's wrong? Did you have that weird dream again?"
His wife asked gently. She then looked at her daughter, who was thin and weak from hunger. She wiped her burning forehead and sighed. She covered her daughter with the tattered cotton blanket and hugged her in her arms.
"F * ck, can't you let me sleep? Why are you making so much noise in the middle of the night!"
"First, it's the young crying. Now, it's the old making noise in the middle of the night. It's enough for me to be attacked by mutated beasts in the day, and now I have to endure all of you at night. F * ck, I want to change rooms with the commander of the military!"
"Me too!"
The refugees who were living in the same small dormitory were roaring in dissatisfaction.
Ever since the Chaos Disaster happened, this world was contaminated by the aura of Chaos. All the living creatures started to mutate and evolve. On the contrary, the Spiritualists, who were once the rulers of this world, were the least affected by the aura of Chaos. Their rate of mutation was the slowest, and they gradually fell behind in the tide of evolution. They could only survive in the military bases during the glorious era of the civilization and became a refugee base.
The aura of Chaos would quickly corrode dead living creatures, including food, plants, and meat products. Therefore, everyone in the refugee base had to risk their lives to look for food in the dangerous world outside every day.
However, as time passed, the living creatures outside became more and more evolved. Their strength became more and more unbelievable and dangerous. More people died every day and became food for other living creatures. The population of the refugee base was getting smaller and smaller.
Although there were some Evolved Humans among the Spiritualists, their numbers were far from enough to support the Spiritualist society.
Everyone was secretly discussing that the Spiritualists were going to be extinct.
At least, this world was no longer called the Spiritualist World. In just a dozen years, the living creatures that were once regarded as wild animals by the Spiritualists had developed their own society and civilization. At the same time, they were more adapted to the chaotic environment than the Spiritualists. It was only a matter of time before they replaced the Spiritualists!
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm really sorry. I was frightened during the day. There won't be a next time. I promise … "
Situ Mo continued to smile, and only after a long while did he manage to calm everyone's anger. He sighed and hugged his wife and daughter. He stroked his daughter's head, which was still running a fever.
Bitterness filled his heart.
At the end of the Chaos Era, the most worthless thing was human life. Situ Mo had seen countless female babies die like this, and he thought that he had already become numb to it. However, when it happened to him …
Situ Mo hated himself. He hated himself for being useless. He hated himself for not being an evolved human. He hated himself for not being able to find more food for his wife. He hated himself for not being able to save his daughter's life. He could only watch the two of them suffer together with him.
"Sleep early. Be careful when you go out tomorrow."
His wife gently comforted Situ Mo. Situ Mo gritted his teeth and hugged his wife even tighter as he closed his eyes.
…
The next day.
The sky was filled with gray mist. Situ Mo had put on a light leather armor and was dressed like a hunter. He was holding a Blood Groove Knife and was about to leave the base with a few refugees to look for food when he saw dozens of armed soldiers surrounding a large public toilet. There were even some evolved humans!
During the Chaos Apocalypse, the Spiritualists were once the rulers of this world. Most of the military equipment had been corroded by the Chaos Fog, and the number of military equipment in the base was limited. This was one of the basic guarantees that the refugee base could maintain its independence during the Apocalypse, other than the Evolved Humans.
"What's going on?"
One of Situ Mo's comrades, Big Mouth Liu, asked a person who had been watching for a long time.
There were more than a hundred thousand people in the base, and the things that happened every day were the same. However, because of the large number of evolved humans, the base was still relatively safe.
"It's the maggots in the sewers that mutated. Damn it, I heard that it's a few meters long. I don't know what happened, but it suddenly came out last night. I heard that more than a dozen of them died in one night, and they were all dragged into the sewers. Now there are two Evolved Humans investigating the scene. We have to be careful even when we go to the toilet in the future. "
This man had a look of fear on his face as he spoke.
Big Mouth Liu's face turned pale when he heard that a few meters long maggot dragged people into the sewers. It took him a long time to recover, and he left with Situ Mo and the others.
The seven-meter high wall was surrounded by circles of poisoned barbed wire. The watchtower was guarded by the heaviest weapons in the base, and at the same time, it was also guarded against possible dangers from the sky.
Once they stepped out of the gate, they would be considered to have left the base. A feeling of insignificance, unfamiliarity, and danger filled the air.
"Be careful, I have a bad premonition today."
Before leaving, Meng Zijie mumbled to himself. He had survived for many years during the apocalypse, and everyone had no choice but to believe him.
…
Half a day later.
The people who were looking for food in the wild were like mice on the streets before the apocalypse. They were very careful, and they would stop every few steps to observe the hazy fog to see if there would be any danger.
When the apocalypse came, not only animals, but even plants had evolved to deal with it. 99% of the plants were extremely poisonous to the Spiritualists.
In this world, the few of them had become the creatures at the bottom of the food chain, and there were too many creatures that could prey on them.
The few of them came to an area that they had never been to before. However, the ecological environment changed too quickly during the apocalypse, and it was very likely that the sky would change beyond recognition if it was the same as yesterday.
"Old Mo, look!"
Yan Nan was extremely excited, and he tried his best to suppress his voice as he shouted.
After the vines wrapped around the forest, there was actually a large mushroom field that was knee-high, and there was a lot of meat. What was even more unbelievable was that the silver needle indicated that these mushrooms were not poisonous and could be eaten!
"Oh my god, there are so many of them. I have to eat my fill this time. Be careful, and see if there is any danger."
Sun Chen was tall, and he was the most handsome man among the Spiritualists before the apocalypse. However, the apocalypse was not a civilized society where people could rely on their looks to make a living.
To be able to survive in the apocalypse, this guy was definitely not a useless vase.
"Oh my god, over there!"
A giant wolf with many disgusting sarcomas on its body walked over with a cold gaze. It let out a low growl, and the pressure brought by its nearly two-meter tall body made Meng Zijie, who was the strongest among the seven of them, swallow his saliva, and he held the Blood Groove Blade in front of him.
From its appearance, it could be seen that the ancestor of this giant wolf was a dog that was raised by a family. However, because of the apocalypse, its descendants had evolved into such a monster.
Yan Nan made a gesture of cutting his throat, nodded to the others, and retreated.
For the sake of this large mushroom field, no one could retreat. The difficulties that Situ Mo faced were the epitome of everyone present in the apocalypse, even if they were risking their lives!
Ten minutes later.
The corpses of Meng Zijie and Big Mouth Liu laid quietly on the ground. In the chaotic apocalypse, their corpses would quickly corrode, and nothing would be left behind. Accompanying them was the corpse of a giant wolf.
"Sigh …"
Yan Nan sighed. Her good friend had died just like that. In the post-apocalyptic world, the most worthless thing was human life. The Spiritualists who had once created a glorious civilization had now become the lowest lifeform in the food chain of this world. The remaining people could not help but feel sorrowful.
"Let's go, their corpses will soon attract wandering animals. Let's pick more mushrooms and bring them back. Their wives and children still need …"
While Situ Mo was talking, he heard the sound of horse hooves coming from afar. Then, a group of giant apes wearing metal armor and riding on mutated wildebeests looked at them with ferocious eyes!
This …
A group of apes actually appeared here!?
Could it be that this giant wolf was their watchdog!?
Run!
In despair, the few of them fled into the depths of the chaotic fog. Behind them, hundreds of giant apes riding on wildebeests roared and followed them.
At least after reporting this information to the military, the rewards they would receive would be enough to fill their stomachs.
