A young man was sitting quietly on top of a tall building.

It was the top of a huge building more than a kilometer high from the ground - the remains of a pre-civilization space elevator.

Zhuge Yun did not understand why he had traveled millions of light years through time and space and was back on Earth.

Moonlight, shining on his body from the oblique back, the shadow of his hood covered half of his face.

The moonlight reflected by the white pylons split into half black and half white.

Black clothes, wrapped around the body, like black skin wrapped around the bones, the shape of the bones.

He looked like he was asleep, his head hanging low, motionless in thought.

This godlike and powerful man was once small - fate seemed to be playing tricks on him, and at that moment, the city in front of him was full of people, and beneath him was the tip of the round communication tower at the top of the building.

The great destruction that occurred more than 400 years ago destroyed civilization on Earth, and the cloud of acid rain eroded dust for 47 consecutive weeks has long since dissipated.

The lead-like taste in his mouth seemed to continue, and the destruction of civilization on this planet -

It was his doing.

Zhuge Yun palm holding a faint blue light of a small thing - looks like some kind of "moss".

A whole piece of "moss" in the hand slowly transparent, until it completely disappeared.

"Here, you can only eat it first to restore energy......" he muttered.

The divine sense spread to try. The results made him very disappointed, only a circle of less than ten meters.

There are almost no humans left on the surface, the once glorious civilization, the glory and pride of mankind, now only survives underground. Order is still being maintained with difficulty, like a bankrupt giant slaughterhouse, animals waiting to be slaughtered lose restraint and trample freely.

Humans, only like mole crickets weak and strong, the fate of each person also like mole crickets become insignificant.

But still, he came back.

I do not know how long it took, he stood up and leaped down.

Boo--!

A dark swirl flashed in mid-air, like a starlight flickering for a moment, returning from bright to pitch black.

The body became transparent in the air, and then the spiritual energy that had been drumming in the air disappeared without a trace.

After he left, the crumbling tower broke with a "kara, kara" sound, and then collapsed in less than 30 seconds.

- The tower collapsed in less than 30 seconds.

470 years after Good Friday. Morning and evening passed, and it was noon on this day when the sun was shining.

The air still retained a faint smell of sulfur, but felt little heat. Even the heat of the sun seemed to have been reduced.

Yellow sand blew over the wilderness from time to time, and on several small sand dunes, some sand plants actually grew.

You know, this barren land has not grown plants for a long time, the yellow soil was blown by the wind to the east and west of the former civilization skyscrapers, emitting ghostly "whimpering" sound.

This is the westernmost part of a nearly broken continent, sparsely populated and barren.

The sun shone on a long-abandoned town.

A teenager panting heavily, heavy on his feet, wearing a hole in his head binaural hat, the top edge of the hat is also hanging down dirty goggles.

His body was wrapped in a single garment sewn and pieced together with at least three pieces of clothing, the single garment only half of the sleeves left, a few blood marks on the bare arms shockingly, the arms were sunburned to a healthy wheat color.

He is a common, the village boy of this era. Pulling a little girl in his hand, he ran desperately.

"Hoo, hoo...... brother, I think I heard a sound, it's them...... coming after me."

The roar of the locomotive came vaguely from the distance, like a monster hissing.

The sound is probably not far from them, that is the "Flame Regiment" thugs, is to capture their brother and sister two.

"Phew... We'll take the path, they can't come after us." The teenager's mouth was slurred, but his steps were not slow at all.

"Don't worry, I'm here...... I won't let them hurt you with a single cold hair."

That teenager said in the mouth, but the heart is quite apprehensive, he is not at all sure that he can lead his sister, to escape from this land of death.

"Faster, it's coming."
