In the gray and dim space, there was no sky, no earth, and no life. The entire space was filled with a thin gray fog. There was also a slow, sorrowful, and melancholic music that seemed to come from the sky and reverberated in the surroundings.
"Bang..."
Like the sound of glass breaking, countless cracks appeared in the entire space. In the next second, streams of bright red and dazzling liquid flowed out from the cracks.
It was...
Blood!
Lin Xi's body trembled and he sat up from the bed.
He shook his head. His head was still dizzy. After a long time, he came back to his senses and touched his chest. His heart was thumping.
"It's a nightmare..."
Sighing slightly, Lin Xi sat on the bed in a daze. At this moment, his phone vibrated.
He held it in his hand and saw that it was a text message.
"To those who received this text message, humanity is facing a deep crisis. A disaster is coming. The monsters of fantasy will come to reality and threaten humanity's extinction. To fight against the monsters, humanity must evolve."
The sender column should have shown a number, but it was blank. Just as Lin Xi was puzzled, the phone screen automatically switched to the download interface.
Downloading program...
Download complete. Installing program...
The Human Evolution Program has been installed in your phone.
"What's going on?"
Lin Xi found that on the main interface of the phone screen, there was an additional black pyramid-shaped program icon. Below it was the name: Human Evolution Program.
He curiously reached out his finger and clicked on it. After entering, a paragraph of text popped up:
"Since technology has brought endless convenience, human evolution has long stopped. Despair, crisis, battle... All the desire and struggle for survival are the source of life evolution."
The text disappeared, and the program automatically connected to the network and jumped to a website.
The logo at the top of the website was a spiral symbol, very much like the gene chain of human DNA. The website name was "Evolution Base."
The main body of the interface was black and red, looking extremely strange and ominous. There were words written in English, Chinese, Arabic, Japanese, and various other languages:
"Survive, or perish... Evolve, or be eliminated..."
Lin Xi stared blankly for a moment, and then he frowned. "The message definitely has a virus, automatically downloading a strange program for the phone, and then connecting to a strange website. It's better if you hurry and exit, delete the program."
He exited the website and chose to delete.
Failure!
"He really was poisoned!"
"The day after tomorrow is the weekend. Let's go to the repair shop and reinstall the system."
…
After the nightmare and the phone being poisoned, Lin Xi no longer felt sleepy. He kept his eyes open until dawn.
At six o 'clock sharp, Lin Xi crawled out of bed, put on his clothes, and then headed to the washroom. When he looked at the mirror in front of him, what was reflected was a youngster with a childish appearance, soft scattered hair, delicate and pretty face, but his complexion was pale, eyes full of bloody wisps.
After washing his face with cold water, Zhang Xuan felt much more energized. He headed to the kitchen and began cooking.
It had been four years since his parents had died in an accident. He was used to living alone. At the age of 16, life was not too difficult for him. It was just that when he was alone and faced an empty house, he felt a bone-deep sense of loneliness.
There was a small stack of fried eggs and a bowl of rice porridge. After eating and drinking, he went to school. Because of his parents' death, he was a little autistic. After entering high school, he deliberately acted introverted and kept a low profile. He was not eye-catching in school and rarely interacted with his classmates.
It could be said that he had no friends.
The boring classes made people sleepy. Lin Xi leaned on the table and secretly took a rest. At this time, his heart suddenly twitched. He seemed to have sensed something and looked out of the window.
He saw that in the square next to the teaching building, a dark whirlpool was rapidly expanding in the air.
"Bang!"
In the loud roar, the whole teaching building trembled. Something fell out of the whirlpool. It was actually a … person?
That's right, it was a person!
There was no skin on the surface of the body, only red muscles protruding out. White membranes dotted the edges of the muscles. There were even some bones embedded in the muscles. Hideous teeth were bared on the cheeks, and the skull was flipped outwards. It was a terrifying giant that was beyond human imagination!
Falling to the ground, the half-kneeling giant slowly stood up.
When the giant straightened up, its height even exceeded the twelve-story, 50-meter high teaching building!
The huge movement alarmed many students. Noticing the giant appearing in the square, a burst of exclamations sounded one after another:
"Oh my god!"
"What is that?"
"The Attacking Giant! It's a 60-meter tall giant from the Attacking Giants! I must be dreaming. How can a monster from an anime appear in reality! "
…
The giant took a deep breath. The gaps of its muscles began to emit a stream of hot white steam. Then it bent down and with the movement of a football player running with the ball, it used its shoulder and slammed into the teaching building!
Lin Xi's pupils suddenly contracted. Reflexively, he hid under the desk.
"Ahhhhh …"
Horrified screams rang out, as if there was a magnitude 8 earthquake. The whole teaching building, under the violent shaking, collapsed into a pile of ruins like a castle made of building blocks.
The rising dust and smoke slowly drifted down. The desk blocked the falling bricks, and with a bit of luck, Lin Xi was not injured. When he pushed away a few pieces of rubble and crawled out from under the desk, what he saw was a complete disaster!
The head of the teacher at the podium was smashed by a stone. Red blood mixed with white brain matter, dyeing the surroundings mottled.
Beside him, his deskmate, who couldn't dodge in time, was smashed by a large stone with a diameter of more than one meter. His stomach and lower body were completely flattened. His internal organs and intestines were squeezed everywhere. Even after death, his eyes were wide open, still filled with fear.
Blood, corpses, and some injured students were among the rubble. Not dead, but injured and screaming students …
The giant hand grabbed down from above. A girl who was crying and crawling among the rubble, with a long dark red trail of blood behind her, was grabbed by the hand and sent to the opened mouth of the giant.
"Save me … Sob sob sob … It hurts, Dad … Where are you …"
The girl's cries came to an abrupt stop. The giant's muscular, blood-red jaw opened and swallowed her whole.
Lin Xi's heart tightened. A suffocating feeling made him almost unable to breathe.
"Escape, I must escape!"
In great fear, Lin Xi turned around and ran. He fell among the rubble, and the stone broke his knee. However, he immediately climbed up with his hands and feet and ran with all his might without looking back …
"Huff huff … huff …"
Lin Xi panted heavily. The intense running consumed a lot of his physical strength. Even his mouth had a bloody taste. After running for a while, he successfully escaped from the school. The giant was still searching for food in the ruins and didn't chase after him.
But did it mean that he was safe outside the school?
Just by looking at the places that he could see, Lin Xi saw two giants. One was three meters tall, and the other was five meters tall.
Looking at these ugly giants with naked bodies, bulging stomachs, or twisted heads, which made people want to vomit, chasing after the people who were running away in panic, grabbing them in their hands and eating them as food, Lin Xi couldn't help but tremble.
What was the most primitive fear? Hunger, cold, death?
None of them.
For intelligent creatures, the greatest fear was the fear of being eaten alive as food that had long disappeared from the civilized world!
Giants.
Lin Xi knew that these were the creatures that appeared in the cartoon "Attack on Titan". Except for a small number of special mutants, most of them were dominated by appetite. They only knew how to hunt and prey, and they were terrible monsters that treated humans as food.
The things in the cartoon had come to life!
On the street, giants could be seen from time to time. It was very dangerous to walk here. Lin Xi ran in hiding. The previous running had caused a great deal of physical exhaustion. Now the mental tension made him even more tired. After running for a while, he saw an open door on the side of the road. There was no one there, so he went in.
He sat on the ground and panted for a while. He calmed down a little.
"Oh, look at the Internet."
Lin Xi took out his mobile phone, entered the browser, and connected to the Internet. He was about to publish the news that a large number of man-eating giants had appeared in his city, but he found that the Internet was already in chaos.
"Monsters are not only appearing in our city, and not only giants?"
He stared dumbfoundedly at the "End of the World" forum and saw a post that was increasing rapidly.
"I'm from Yuhang. There are monsters here, monsters from Dungeon Fighter Online. I was almost eaten by a Goblin!"
"What's a mere Goblin? Outside Jinling, there are Biochemical Specters everywhere. I used my binoculars and saw a flying Dragon in the sky! That looks like a d * mn Devil Winged Dragon! "
"I'm a fisherman escaping from the sea in a small boat. My big boat was bombed by a deep-sea amphibious ship. My grandfather and father are dead … I think I saw a Northern Perch, but I'm not sure. My mind is in a mess. I don't think I can escape back because many puff-shaped balls are chasing me … Farewell …"
I'm in Texas, USA. It's night time now, but it's bright outside. The city is burning, and there's a dragon flying in the sky, breathing fire down. I don't know if it's Smaug, the Red Eyes Black Dragon, or Bahamut, or Deathwing.
"I'm also overseas. I'm in Japan. There's a nine-tailed fox shooting its Tailed Beast Cannon everywhere. I want to ask … where's Naruto? Where's Ultraman? "
…
After exiting the forum, Lin Xi's face was pale. It seemed that monsters had appeared not only here, but all over the world. Monsters from animations, games, and movies had invaded the real world.
"What's wrong with this world?"
A huge sense of absurdity and a huge sense of fear intertwined and filled his heart …
