The moon was still very big tonight.
After ten o'clock, there were almost no crowds on the streets.
Occasionally, there would be young people riding motorcycles outside the shop, carrying girls.
Ling Ping'an sat at the counter and watched variety shows in boredom.
However, the variety shows recently were getting worse and worse.
Even the singing competition show that Ling Ping'an had been following for three years had inevitably lowered its head to traffic and accepted its fate to capital.
Looking at the so-called 'singer' on the television screen who was dressed in fancy clothes and was neither a man nor a woman, Ling Ping'an turned off the television.
Ling Ping'an turned off the television in a somewhat impetuous manner.
"Is this music?"
"It's insulting my IQ!" Ling Ping'an shook his head.
He didn't know when it started, but the music in the Federation began to embark on a path of no return.
Many people began to think that the higher the high notes, the better the singing skills.
A large number of music variety shows were all showing off for the sake of showing off.
At this point, they didn't even bother to hide it.
They directly took the traffic and stuffed it into the ears of the listeners.
Thinking of this, Ling Ping'an opened the social media app on his phone. When he looked at the hot searches, there were indeed unpleasant sounds.
This finally made Ling Ping'an feel a little gratified.
Unfortunately, when he clicked on it, he found that the hot searches were all about cleaning the floor.
A large number of marketing accounts and fans occupied all the corners of the screen.
Almost all of them were the same criticism.
Looking at those fancy manuscripts, Ling Ping'an chose to turn off his phone.
Out of sight, out of mind.
"Let's close the door and play games!" He said.
ESports was the fairest.
If I win, I'm awesome. If I lose, I blame my teammates.
Right and wrong, black and white, it was clear.
He walked to the door of the shop and pulled down the shutter door.
"Why is it suddenly foggy again?" Ling Ping'an was about to pull down the shutter door when he saw the thick fog in the alley outside the door. He didn't know when it had quietly filled the entire alley.
In the fog, it was pitch black. There was not a trace of light.
Seeing this, he stopped pulling the shutter door.
Because he remembered the girl from last night and the things she had pledged in the shop.
A bag of unknown dried leaves and a beautifully crafted dagger.
"She should be here to redeem something, right?" Ling Ping'an thought, "After all, just that bag of leaves alone is probably worth thousands or even tens of thousands..."
… …
In the darkness of the night, Han Li walked up to the gate that was made of steel and electricity.
The machine cannons on the automated sentry tower began to turn and aim at her.
A camera turned over at the right time, and the scanner connected to the camera began to work.
A moment later, a mechanical female voice rang out, "Welcome back, Major Han Li!"
"The 1.3 million people of the Donglin Safety Zone thank you for your dedication and sacrifice!"
The steel gate, which weighed several hundred tons, opened to both sides, revealing a narrow tunnel that was only wide enough for one person to pass through.
Han Li raised her head and walked in.
As soon as she entered, several mechanical probes extended from all directions. At the same time, an electronic chair appeared in front of Han Li.
Han Li sat on a chair. Strands of electronic bandages firmly secured her body in place.
An LCD screen landed in front of her.
Lines of data appeared on the screen.
The robotic female voice also began to announce, "It is now the 23rd year of the New Era, July 12th, 3: 15 am!"
"Welcome home, respected Major Hanli!"
"You are 168cm tall today and weigh 55kg!"
"Your blood oxygen concentration is 99.9%, and your myoglobin content is 21.8 G/L..."
"Your physical data is excellent!"
"Your mental fluctuations have slightly decreased today. Please pay attention to adjust your mental health and check the safety of your mind..."
"You have made an appointment with Zhao Licheng, Chief Physician. The consultation time is tomorrow, 9: 10 am!"
"You have applied for mental protection service. The service time is: the 23rd year of the New Era, July 15th, 14: 00 pm..."
As the electronic broadcast sounded, the chair Han Li was sitting on continued to descend.
Soon, she arrived at the underground.
At the door of the elevator, several soldiers with loaded guns immediately saluted when they saw Han Li. "Welcome back, Officer Han!"
An officer came forward and saluted Han Li. "Major Han Li, Brigadier General Wang Jingcheng is waiting for you in the office!"
"Hmm..." Han Li nodded gently.
The murmurs continued to ring in her ears. She touched the hot book on her body. Han Li knew that before she could confirm that the book and its contents were absolutely safe, she could not easily reveal it to anyone.
Because humans could not withstand a second Cataclysm.
Han Li thought of her teacher and adoptive father, Yan Cheng.
He used to be the strongest demon hunter in Donglin City, an elite who had once driven away A-class ghosts.
"Don't cry for me …" Her teacher, who was on the verge of collapse and was about to step into the sorrowful fate, lay in the cabin made of special alloy and looked at her through the glass. "I will ascend into space and be with humanity in the eternal universe!"
"This is the fate of demon hunters, and it is also where our mission lies!"
"Sacrifice and dedication are not worthless!"
"At least, you are still alive!"
"Everyone is alive!"
"Human civilization still exists!"
The young Han Li could not understand these things. She could only cry and chase after her teacher's cabin. She chased after him until she ran out of strength and cried her heart out.
Half an hour later, a carrier rocket lifted off from the launch base in Donglin City.
It carried Han Li's teacher and adoptive father and kept flying. It flew out of the atmosphere, over the stratosphere, broke free from the shackles of gravity, and flew into the wild and boundless space.
That was the destination of demon hunters.
It was also the outcome that every demon hunter voluntarily chose.
They could not stay on the mother planet and become a nightmare for humans.
It was already the 23rd year of the New Era. In space, there were countless cabins of demon hunters floating.
That was the elegy of mankind and also the epic of mankind.
The murmurs in her ears pulled Han Li back to reality.
She raised her head and looked at the alloy walls of the underground base and the soldiers in front of her.
"At least..." she said, "I have escaped the fate of being a teacher!"
The demon sealed in her body had been completely destroyed.
Her power was completely controlled by the demon hunters.
However, the murmurs in her ears reminded Han Li that this might be driving the tiger away from the front door and the wolf in the back door.
However, she had no other choice.
"Let me become a human test subject!"
"For freedom and survival!"
This was also the mission of the demon hunters, the true meaning of sacrifice and dedication.
… …
The clock ticked towards midnight.
After losing a few more games, Ling Ping 'an's mood was a little impetuous.
He looked up at the clock. "It's twelve o 'clock... It seems that the girl won't be coming today..."
"Could she have been grounded by her parents?"
Thinking about it carefully, it seemed that there was such a possibility.
The rich and nobles of the Federal Empire were all very concerned about that.
Although public opinion had been whipping these guys, they were still unrepentant.
In the eyes of those old antiques, playing games was not a proper job, writing novels was a dead end, and playing a novel like role-playing was immoral and disgraceful.
Therefore, in the eyes of the young people of the Federal Empire, the conservative parents were even more hateful than the Federal Empire, which controlled the sky, earth, and air. They wished that they could have one vote and remove them from office.
Somehow, Ling Ping 'an remembered the cup of tea made with leaves that he drank in the afternoon.
"It seems that I haven't needed to wear glasses until now..." He scratched his head and took out the bag of leaves from the drawer.
The shriveled leaves were packed in a plastic bag and didn't look strange.
But after soaking them in boiling water, he felt a hundred times more energetic.
In the afternoon, he won thirteen games in a row and was the MVP every time!
"Anyway, there are so many..."
"I'll make another cup and try it..." Ling Ping 'an said, "At most, when that little girl comes, I'll pay her some money!"
So, he poured out a few leaves from the bag.
Then, he took the teacup, walked to the water dispenser, and turned on the hot water.
Immediately, a pleasant fragrance filled his nose and mouth again.
"It smells so good!" Ling Ping 'an held the teacup and took a sip. His entire body immediately became energetic, as if even his mind began to become active. The fatigue all over his body was swept away.
"It seems that I will definitely dominate the canyon tonight!" He said confidently.
… …
The sky above his head was dark red.
It was like a huge mass of blood, pressing heavily on the top of the world.
The sun, which had once brought light and heat to the world, was now like a ball of cold flame that was gradually extinguishing.
Its light could no longer warm the world.
Humans could only linger on with their last breaths.
The wind whistled through the ruins.
Collapsed buildings piled up together, forming ruined hills made of gravel, bricks, glass, and steel bars.
Exposed, rusty steel bars and cars that had been eroded to the point that only a thin shell was left.
Elizabeth walked in these ruins.
Her electronic sensors were constantly transmitting all kinds of data to her mainframe.
Whether it was the vibration of the ground, the pheromones in the air, or everything she 'saw' in her eyes.
They were all converted into data through the 341 nano-electronic sensors installed in her body, which were closely connected to her nerve cells, and continuously transmitted to the quantum brain in her brain.
There, all the data was restored into a real image and then transmitted back to her brain.
It was like installing a filter or adding a layer of firewall.
This was the only reason why humans could still linger on in this sad world!
A hundred years had passed since the void storm.
The once glorious human civilization was now like a candle flickering in the wind, about to be extinguished at any time.
The survivors had no choice but to abandon their fragile bodies and embrace machinery.
Symbiosis with machinery became the last hope of humans.
Even so, the global population was still inevitably declining.
Today, the huge North American continent had only the last three million people left. They were desperately trapped in the doomsday fortresses, struggling to breathe.
At this moment, Elizabeth was constantly monitoring the quantum brain installed in the frontal lobe of her brain, paying attention to the data and information flow sent back from the brain.
Elizabeth suddenly stopped in her tracks, and her whole body became alert.
Buried in her flesh and blood, the nano-machinery began to activate and covered her entire body.
Two laser knives extended from her arms.
All the sensors on her body were activated.
The sensors responsible for psionic detection all lit up with red lights.
"Detected a fluctuation of dark powers!"
"Repeat! Detected a fluctuation of dark powers! "
She suddenly leaped up, and the mini missile launchers installed on both her shoulders immediately fired two mini missiles that had been prepared.
These missiles were only a dozen centimeters long.
But the combat units that they carried were shockingly powerful!
Boom!
Boom!
They hit a ruined hill on the left of Elizabeth, which was the source of the detected dark powers.
Debris and steel bars were blown up all over the sky.
It also blew out the thing hidden in it — a spider-like body as big as a bison, with countless tentacles firmly grasping the ground. Pairs of scarlet compound eyes lit up as they cruelly and mockingly looked at Elizabeth, who was floating in the air and protected by the nano-armor.
"Damn it!" When Elizabeth saw this thing, her heart, which had long been emotionless, was shocked. "It's the offspring of the Lunar Devil!"
The offspring of the Lunar Devil was one of the most dangerous offspring of the Diablo on the North American continent.
They were the offspring of the Diablo entrenched on the moon — the Dark Side of the Moon.
They were also one of the biggest enemies that mankind faced — these damn things would capture human women and use them as tools to reproduce their offspring.
Reproductive isolation was like a joke in front of them.
So, the moment she saw the monster, Elizabeth immediately wanted to activate the mini fusion reactor installed in her body and desperately wanted to escape.
But the command had just been issued, and the fusion reactor had just started.
A strange scene appeared in Elizabeth's eyes.
Thick fog, an unknown thick fog, suddenly covered the ruins where the offspring of the Lunar Devil was located and the area hundreds of meters around it.
The offspring of the Diablo, which was so powerful that Elizabeth immediately wanted to escape when she saw it, only struggled in the thick fog for a while, and then there was no sound.
It seemed that some extremely terrifying existence had descended.
It was strangled in the thick fog.
And from the beginning to the end, the offspring of the Lunar Devil could only struggle for a while.
Seeing this situation, Elizabeth landed on the ground.
She hesitated for a while, stretched out her arm, and pressed the watch on her wrist. "Drone!"
The watch automatically fell off and then turned into a fist-sized four-winged drone. Under Elizabeth's gaze, it flew into the inexplicable thick fog to investigate.
However, the drone flew into the thick fog and lost contact with Elizabeth.
The crystallization of human technology did not even last a second in the thick fog.
Elizabeth's expression immediately became serious.
After a long time, as if she had made up her mind, she walked into the thick fog.
