A temporary camp. Actually, it was just a bunch of emaciated refugees lying on the ground. They were surrounded by burly Empire soldiers. But this was the only chance they had to rest in this dangerous world.
Within the protective circle, in an empty space, Komuro Takashi and the other seven members of the Gakuen Roaches were reuniting with the domineering policewoman named Minami Rika. They were exchanging their experiences ever since we parted. I, on the other hand, was looking up at the sky in boredom. I taught the little loli Alice how to play Bubbles' PNP while subconsciously combing the mercury lamp's wings. This was a habit I had developed from Araya. Whenever I saw a feather, I would want to use a comb. Previously, when Anveena transformed into a crow and rested on the balcony, I would comb her feathers out of habit and scare the little maid so much that she dropped all her feathers.
But fortunately, Mercury Lamp didn't protest too much. Even though she habitually turned her face in another direction, looking at the way her wings were fluttering … she seemed to be very comfortable?
On the other side, although the conversation between Jukawa Shizuka and Police Officer Minami Lika wasn't loud, I could still hear it clearly.
"… Another world? You said that after the explosion of the huge transformer … you all went to another world? "
This was Minami Lika's voice.
"Ah, it was really unbelievable. This kind of thing only happens in novels. But it really scared me," this was Jukawa Shizuka. "After we recovered from the stun, we were surrounded by a lot of men in black. They didn't say anything and wanted to capture us. When Kota's gun accidentally hit them, it was as though it hit their energy shield and made a 'biu' sound. Then, we were captured."
"What kind of strange description is that? You didn't get to the point at all." Minami Lika's voice sounded helpless. She couldn't do anything to her crazy friend. "Then, are these the 'men in black' that you met in another world? Hmm, they are quite dark. "
Komuro Takashi was speechless. "Err, how should I put this? These people in black mechanical armor are the regular soldiers of the Empire. They look scary, but they are all my friends. Yes, they are very, very powerful soldiers."
The meaning behind her words was very clear. For the sake of their friendship, Big Sister Nan, please have some virtue in your mouth! This circle was filled with people who killed without batting an eyelid, exterminating entire families without mercy. If they walked, it would be a disaster. If they stopped, it would be a nuclear bomb. If they smacked their lips a few times, the thirty refugees here would probably be smacked to death!
Nan Lixiang did not know if she understood what Komuro Takashi was implying. She chuckled and said, "I see. I was worried about you in the beginning, but … since you are in such a safe place, why did you come back? There's no longer a need to return here … "
Komuro Takashi was embarrassed. He didn't know if he should tell him about how he changed his nationality through the back door.
On the other hand, Chestnut of Poison Island, who knew a lot of things in advance, keenly caught the last few words of the other party, "There's no need to come back? Why did you say that?! "
"Because … humanity is finished …"
"What?!" This time, even the fat otaku Hirano, who had been secretly observing the equipment of the Empire soldiers, could not help but exclaim, "This … What does this mean?!"
"It means exactly what it means," Nan Lixiang lowered her head and said softly. Nan Li Xiang lowered her head and said in a low voice. She seemed to have lost all her fighting spirit and was extremely dispirited. Such a domineering lady could only do her duty and lead the last few refugees forward in the wilderness. As for the destination? That didn't exist in the first place.
It seemed that there was nothing left to say. Nan Lixiang stayed silent for a few seconds before walking to my side. Behind her were Komuro Takashi and the others, who had a confused expression, and Kuwako Kaneko, who had a complicated expression.
"Just now, Shizuka told me that you're the highest authority in this world." Nan Lixiang bowed deeply to me from a subtle angle. Yep, it was indeed very deep. "I'm very sorry for the rude words I said just now. Even though I still feel that I'm unable to associate you with a major figure like the ruler of the Empire … Err, sorry."
I was speechless. Speaking of which, as expected of the fierce general Nan Lixiang who could enter and exit thousands of corpses. Other than her sniper rifle, her mouth could probably be considered a DPS.
"You're welcome." With a subtle expression, I confirmed that the other party had made an unintentional mistake. I gestured to the side with my lips. "Take a seat. Is there anything you need from me?"
Nan Lixiang sat down beside me. Her expression was extremely solemn. I knew that the storyline mission … Erm, cough cough, it was time to get down to business.
"I don't know how many people you can bring with you, but at least … I hope that you can bring the last survivors here with you, and Shizuka and the others. Bring them away, the faster the better. Leave this world. Maybe it's a cowardly thing to say, but … I beg of you, bring away the last sparks of humanity!"
"Hey, hey, Officer Nan, that's not your style! We have brought medical personnel, and they are on standby in space. These people from another world have great power and technology. They must have a way to treat the corpses! " Komuro Takashi was shocked by Nan Lixiang's words. It was as if she was entrusting the future of humanity to them. He almost jumped up. "They are scanning the distribution of humans on Earth. Soon, the medical team will descend … Oh yeah, there should be a human sanctuary nearby, right? Judging from your appearance, you should be on the way to the sanctuary, right? But I don't see your vehicle … Hey, why does everyone have such an expression … "
No one responded to him. Other than Hirano and the others who were looking around blankly, everyone else, including the refugees, the "Officer Nakaoka," and Nan Lixiang, had a deadpan expression. "It's useless … There is no sanctuary.
"It's useless … there's no shelter. We're just trying our best to stay as far away from human activity as possible. The car was turned into scrap metal in yesterday's thunderstorm. We're already lucky to be alive. As for the treatment of infection … we'll just have to look at the health of the 37 people here. I'm afraid they're the last living people on this island. As for the other places, there's no need to treat them anymore."
It was like a bolt from the blue. Except for Kuwako of the Poison Island, everyone in the cockroach group lost their voices in horror.
37 people … That was the number of refugees led by Nan Lixiang. Of course, due to the lack of information, her estimation of the situation may be too pessimistic. But at least so far, the probes we sent out have not sent back any information about the existence of humans, and this place used to be a bustling human town.
According to the orbital scan data I received, the number of living people in Honzhou was about a few thousand. Moreover, they were all like the refugees from Nanli Xiang, who had gathered in small groups and moved to desolate and remote areas. Their situation was definitely not better than this group of half-dead refugees in front of us. If we had come a few days later, I reckon that even these few thousand people would not have survived.
It was hard to imagine how the 37 refugees managed to survive until now. In a sense, they could already be considered as superhumans. No matter who they were, whether they were trash or heroes, warriors or cowards, being able to be the last batch of people to die in the apocalypse, they were all worthy of the title of monsters. It must be known that in the apocalypse like Resident Evil, the living were sometimes even scarier than the dead. To be able to unite as a team under such circumstances and survive until the end, it was not a miracle that could be explained by one person's strength.
At first, they were filled with joy, fantasizing about bringing a powerful army from another world to cure the infection and restore human society to prosperity and peace. They even fantasized about reuniting with their family members who were not sure if they were alive or dead. Now, they suddenly learned that humans were almost extinct. Not to mention their family members, even their own kind might have been wiped out. This huge shock finally befell the group of boys and girls. Even the dazed Jukawa Shizuka covered her mouth in shock, not to mention the rest of the underage teenagers. Komuro Takashi, Hirano Otaku, Alice, and Big-breasted One, Two, and Three all had shocked expressions on their faces.
"Now, calm down!" I stood up from the ground and looked at the exhausted Nan Lixiang. "I have encountered much more serious problems than this. You don't want to see an entire continent filled with pus flowing zombies and demons, a planet covered in moss, what kind of hell would that be? The civilizations of the World of Azeroth have been destroyed countless times, but they could still stand up. All you have to do is stand up for me once. I will take away every human survivor that I see. Even if the human civilization disappears from this planet forever, I have a way to allow you to reproduce in other places. Now, tell me everything. We can only scan that the humans on Earth are almost extinct. But how did this happen? Why did the undead erupt so quickly? Why is Earth … filled with such huge scars?! "
Nan Lixiang seemed to be suppressed by my imposing manner (I hope this thing really exists). She was in an extremely low state from the beginning. She was only acting out of an obsessive sense of responsibility. Her eyes gradually lit up. Then, she told me everything she knew.
"About, it started about twenty days ago …"
In the beginning, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. Other than the fact that there were seven people with the aura of the main character in this world who were lucky enough to transmigrate to another world, the Earth continued to spin, the humans continued to struggle, the number of undead increased steadily, the resistance of the humans was orderly, the shooting enthusiasts could shoot their pistols on the rooftops, shoot their pistols, shoot their pistols, shoot their pistols, shoot their pistols, shoot their pistols, shoot their pistols, shoot their pistols, shoot their pistols, shoot their pistols, shoot their pistols on the rooftops, the undead were all taken down like chives in the game of humans vs zombies, but they were still steadily and efficiently advancing their frontlines. However, if everything was normal, the humans wouldn't necessarily be killed by the undead in the next few years. Furthermore, there might even be a few American heroes like the China Dragon Group that would appear to save the world … Cut, the script ends here.
The real disaster broke out and destroyed the human world within ten days.
The undead began to "infect" the human world.
No one was able to explain how all of this happened. Perfectly healthy humans who had never been bitten by an undead would suddenly become infected in a crowd and turn into the living dead.
However, the strange and terrifying thing happened just like that. Humans had no way of fighting back.
Almost at the same time, the "undead" occurred in every human sanctuary in the world. Whether they were hiding in basements, military camps, or even inside nuclear blast proof bunkers, they could not stop the "infection" that came out of nowhere. It was as if some kind of aura that humans could not perceive was spreading across the entire planet, corroding the spirit of all things on Earth through every oxygen molecule. Without any warning, the tightly protected survivors turned into the walking dead. Under this terrifying outbreak, the large and densely populated sanctuaries fell within a few days because no one expected the deadliest attack to come from behind.
After the indestructible resistance against the zombie tide from the outside, humanity finally fell under the catastrophe from within.
"The Tokyo Fallout Shelter was the first to be destroyed. Only the automatic recording equipment and the police communication channel were able to transmit the sporadic information from there. The only thing we know is that it took less than 24 hours for the dead to cover the entire Tokyo Circle. Instead of saying it was a contagious disease, it's more accurate to say that the entire Tokyo Circle has become their nest …"
Nan Lixiang recalled everything that she had experienced in the past twenty days and still could not help but turn pale.
"The nuclear bomb that humans launched at the last moment did not destroy the global electromagnetic communication. At least the military and police channels were still preserved. In the first ten days, I had been receiving such information through the police channel. The undead's internal explosion, the sanctuary's destruction, at first, they came from all directions. The terrible news spread uncontrollably through every human communication channel, but very quickly, they disappeared one by one. Until five days ago, this thing finally became completely useless."
The pale policewoman took out her communication device from her jacket pocket. It looked like a high-grade product that only special personnel could use, but now it had become a piece of scrap metal.
"Then you guys …"
I was deeply shocked by Nan Lixiang's narration. Then, I looked at the refugees that were lying on the ground not far away. If the undead had already begun to use this strange method to "infect" the entire human race, then what was the use of escaping?
That was also the last sound that the modern human communication network made. Well, it might just be the ravings of an unlucky lunatic who was once in a high position but was about to become a dead body. However, many people still chose to believe his declaration: the number of undead that could infect the undead was related to the density of humans. The more densely populated a place, the higher the rate of the outbreak and the density of the outbreak. The Tokyo circle of the sanctuary was destroyed in a day because of this, and some of the smaller sanctuaries were not infected until ten days ago. Thus, dispersing and staying away from the human population became the only way to avoid being infected. In the end, the survivors began to form such sporadic escape teams. At most, there would be groups of fifty people, and they would leave the city and head for the remote mountains or wilderness. Now, it seems that the guy who published the results at the last moment did not lie. We indeed lived for many more days. "
The information that Nan Lixiang provided was unexpected and extremely important, but I could not analyze anything.
Remote infection? Even a healthy person in a completely enclosed bunker would be infected?
This cross-shaped phenomenon could not be explained from a biological point of view!
The only thing that I knew that could be related to this situation was the Curse Crystal that my elder sister used to deal with the Zerg. By cursing an individual, it was a terrifying weapon that could destroy an entire race regardless of the distance between them. But to be honest, this connection was even more unreliable than Kel 'Thuzad falling from the sky and causing the undead body to explode.
Furthermore, if my elder sister knew that I had made such a connection, she would probably transform into a girl who traveled through time and space to kill me.
"Alright, we will study this problem later. Then, the second question: Just now, my people sent over a global scan image. What else happened in this world in the past twenty days? Those canyons, whirlpools, cracks, storm clouds … What exactly is going on? "
Nan Lixiang opened her eyes wide and stared at me. Then, she suddenly revealed a look of understanding.
"It seems that because the importance of this incident is lower than the undead body crisis, it did not spread out. I originally thought that this kind of thing only happened in Japan … As expected, this kind of situation is happening all over the world. Just how big of a disaster is humanity going to encounter before it is over!"
"Earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, thunderstorms, these are the things that we have personally experienced in the past few days. At the very least, we have heard about it in the nearby radio broadcast."
"I believe that you have also caught up with it. The earthquake just now — — That was the first strong earthquake that occurred in this region. But in another direction, about two hundred kilometers away, there have already been seventeen earthquakes of the same magnitude."
"As for this region, what we have experienced the most are thunderstorms. Look at the burnt forest over there, it was caused by the lightning strike yesterday afternoon."
"If you are willing to look down from space, you might be able to see the Fuji Basin, or the Fuji Lava Lake. That is the result of twenty-one consecutive eruptions of magma and earthquakes."
"This world has already gone mad. Nature is destroying humanity, destroying us at all costs!"
"So, I beg of you, don't think about any treatment or salvation anymore. Bring along the last seed of humanity and leave this world. There is no need to save this place …" The pressure that she had been suppressing for a long time finally exploded. This woman who led the last seed of humanity on the journey to the end of the world vented hysterically. As for me, I could only press her shoulders and nod: This was my initial plan.
To throw a Celestial Melting Bomb without any hesitation, that kind of thing isn't my style.
Well, to be honest, I thought of many things at this moment. The thing that I wanted to say the most was: Wing of Death, why did you transmigrate into the world of the Silent Apocalypse, you bastard!
Isn't this a blatant Cataclysm! Furthermore, it is an enhanced version of Cataclysm mixed with Resident Evil, give me another bottle of friendship gift! How many great sins did humanity commit to have to be game over in such a spectacular way?!
