'Light' descended on the last big city on the earth, destroyed the three incoming monsters, and then disappeared silently. The cloud of despair that had shrouded the earth for several years due to the continuous appearance of the monsters dispersed, and people saw each other again. To hope, it is called the dawn era.
Dawn Epoch, March 5, 3rd year
'Light' has eliminated monsters one after another, but monsters continue to appear, the population continues to decline, the hope once seen due to the emergence of 'Light' is being shattered, the crime rate in society continues to increase, and order is on the verge of collapse. Where?
Dawn Epoch, September 13th, 4th year
Monsters continue to appear, the existence of 'light' has not made the earth better, technology has begun to regress, and resource crises have emerged.
Dawn Epoch, November 4
The appearance of the flower named Qijela brought people extreme happiness. They forgot about the crisis of monsters, the crisis of resources, and the difficulties of life. People indulged in the beautiful fantasy and couldn't extricate themselves. It was later confirmed that it was caused by pollen. causing hallucinations.
When the effect of pollen weakened at night, people realized its harm and began to study it. However, they failed to find a way to restrain it. However, they found that pollen extract can greatly increase the activity of human cells, allowing them to continue dividing and even lead to immortality. ...
Dawn Epoch, January 5
The monster has not appeared for three months, and the 'light' has not appeared for three months. Ziyela's pollen dream is becoming more and more real, and it is becoming more and more difficult to leave it. The reality is too cruel, and everyone is addicted to the dream. It was getting harder and harder to leave.
...
While he was looking at it, a clear voice suddenly sounded from behind him: "Diga, what are you doing here?"
The sudden voice startled him, but he didn't need to look back. He knew who it was just by hearing the voice. He closed the book with a rather worn cover in his hand, turned around, and saw a man with skin as white as snow. The girl stood there pretty.
This is an adjective seen in the book, but no one actually knows what real snow looks like. We have been in this city that shines everywhere since we were born, and have never seen the blue sky, white clouds, and snow mentioned in the book. What the sun, moon, and stars look like can only be understood through videos and pictures.
"Camilla, you ran out again."
"Because it's boring." Camilla said, casting her eyes on the book in his hand and saying, "I'm reading a book like this again."
"Because it's very interesting." Diga raised the book in his hand and said, "Did your sister let you out?"
"It's boring to stay in one place all the time." A girl named Camila walked out from behind Diga, stood on the edge of the railing, looked into the distance, and saw densely packed high-rise buildings, one next to the other. There is a building connected to each other by "corridors". It is not only a passage, but also relies on its own strength to fix and pull the buildings at both ends, so that these buildings become a whole in a sense because of their interconnection.
Such tall buildings spread to the end of the field of vision, and taller than these buildings are the light pillars supporting the barrier. The pyramid-shaped barrier envelopes Luluye, and is always emitting light, and Simulate day and night by adjusting the brightness.
"I really want to go outside." Camilla looked up at the 'sky' in trance. She has been here since she was born. Her impression of the outside world is only images and pictures. These lights are used to dispel the darkness, and the barrier It prevents the terrible black fog from seeping in, and also blocks people's view of the outside world. Too many people have forgotten what the stars and the moon look like. Staying under the blue sky and white clouds, being blown by the gentle breeze What a feeling.
Diga raised his hand and touched her silky silver hair, and said, "When we wake up, we can go outside and we won't be afraid of the black fog anymore."
"Well," Camilla nodded vigorously, clasped her hands in front of her, and said with longing, "It would be great to have as much power as my sister."
"It will definitely happen, after all... that's the inner city." Diga sighed. The light in the inner city is much stronger than here. It is said that this can enhance the affinity of the light and thus increase the success rate of 'awakening'. In fact, It is also very effective. Ninety percent of the guardians in the Earth Guard Group are from the inner city, and the other 10% have something to do with the inner city.
There has not been a guardian in the outer city for a long time, and everyone is talking privately that the outer city is polluted by the black mist outside, so everyone does not want to go to the outer city, let alone come into contact with people in the outer city to avoid being infected. Dark and thus unable to awaken as a Guardian.
Therefore, Tiga, who ran to the outer city when he had nothing to do, became an alien in the eyes of the preparatory guardians. He felt that he must have been contaminated by darkness. If he stayed with such people, he would also be contaminated. He would definitely not be able to be worshiped by all people. The noble and sacred guardian of light.
The only one who didn't dislike him was Camila. She liked the "outer city stories" he told very much, which always brought her a full sense of curiosity. She even sneaked out with Diga more than once, even though it was just The view from the top of the building is so interesting.
However, as more people come out, the appeal of the outer city gradually decreases. There is not so much light here, it looks so dim, and the buildings are crowded together, which has no sense of beauty at all. The people who live here are... She was also "rustic", and even once when she found out that she was a visitor from the inner city, her eyes looked so unkind, filled with jealousy, resentment, and...
"Let's go back, there's nothing fun here." Camille pulled Diga's hand, wanting to take him back to the inner city. If he gets tainted with darkness again, he might not be able to become a guardian, and then they will...
"They just..." Diga wanted to explain, but gave up as soon as he finished speaking. He stretched out his hand to hold Camilla, followed the secret passage, left the tall building on the edge of the outer city, and returned to the brighter place. inner city.
In the thick book in hand, the folded page clearly says:
...Zijela's vines are wrapped around every building, emitting pollen all the time, making people immersed in sweet dreams and unable to wake up. Black fog gradually covers the sky, darkness gradually covers the earth, and order collapses , the destruction of civilization
——Era of Destruction.
Diga once again stood on the top of this high-rise building with a secret passage to the inner city, looking at the vast city. The brightness of the light pillars and barriers seemed to have decreased again, making the outer city even darker, and the life was as dense as a honeycomb. The clothes of the people in the building were also a lot worn out, and no one could see a smile on their face anymore, only numbness and despair.
Hard work is just enough to satisfy their hunger. Gorgeous clothes, exquisite food, and even the history of civilization have nothing to do with them. Even if these are closely related to them, this is reality, a very cruel reality.
Luluye's area is only so large, it can accommodate so many people, and it can only allocate so many resources. Whoever has more people will naturally have less people.
"Got you."
Camila's voice sounded from behind, making Diga startled. He slowly turned around and saw the bright diamond-shaped crystal on the girl's forehead and her golden eyes, both of which showed her success. .
"Why do you always like to stand here and look at the outer city?" Camilla tilted her head, feeling extremely confused. The environment here is obviously very poor, and the brightness of the light is also very low. It is said that black fog often seeps in. Whenever you enter No one who has been to the inner city wants to come back, but Tiga often comes back to visit.
"Because this is the main body of civilization."
"Guardians are the ones, right? Without guardians, Luluye would have been destroyed long ago, and we would also be swallowed up by the black mist. From today on, I can also fight for Luluye." Camilla said and also With a little curiosity, I touched the diamond-shaped crystal inlaid on the golden hair ornament. My sister said that the light is here, but how can there be so much light in such a small thing?
Diga lowered his head and glanced at the worn book in his hand, and whispered: "The current guardian is not what he used to be."
"well?"
"The current guardian is human, the former guardian was light."
"What's the difference?"
"People are addicted to Ziyela's pollen, but not light."
"What are you talking about?" Camilla looked at the depressed Diga with some worry, took two steps forward, held Diga, and said: "Don't worry, there is still a chance, I... I have done it several times too You have just successfully awakened, you can definitely do it, but if you really can’t, I...I’ll go find my sister, she will definitely be able to do something.”
"It's not because of this," Diga turned to look at the crowded outer city and said, "If this continues, Luluye will really have no hope."
"There is no hope?" Camilla looked confused and said: "The number of guardians is still increasing, and one day they will be able to dispel the darkness."
"Hope...can you wait until that day...?"
Camilla didn't quite understand what Diga said, but seeing his unhappy look, she secretly made up her mind to find a way to make Diga 'awaken' so that the two of them could always be together, well, in terms of Ultra Crystal , it must be possible.
...
Everything was like a nightmare that came suddenly and left so slowly. Even if it left, it left those who woke up with extremely deep fear and long-lasting pain.
Everything from yesterday is still vivid in my mind, the vicious monsters, the trembling earth, the hungry refugees, and...
He who comes out of the light!
Like a sharp sword, it splits the dense darkness, allowing the sun to shine on the earth again, shining into everyone's heart, revitalizing the cold and numb heart, and bringing the light of hope to this desperate world.
Risa was awakened from her sleep by the alarm clock. She raised her hand and hit the alarm clock accurately to stop the ringing. Then she opened her eyes, sat up, stretched, stood up, walked to the window, and opened the curtains. Come, rays of sunlight passed through the glass windows, illuminating the room clearly, and what caught her eyes were neatly arranged high-rise buildings, and cars driving rapidly on the road.
The world in front of us looks the same as before the apocalypse, but the towering tower cranes and collapsed and broken viaducts in the distance all tell that the apocalypse has come before, and it has not gone far.
The monsters that once wreaked havoc on the earth were devoured by Hyperjackton, and Hyperjackton was defeated by the three Ultramen. The peace of the past was restored to the earth, and humans once again became the 'rulers' of the earth. , the surviving people walked out from the mountains, from the forests, and from the underground, and came to the sunshine, and began to restore order and rebuild civilization.
But the road is so long and so difficult. The population has plummeted and the equipment has been unmaintained for a long time. Countless factories have been abandoned. The productivity has not yet reached one thousandth of the pre-apocalyptic level, and the technology tree has withered. It was so terrible that even maintaining the main trunk was so difficult, not to mention continuing to climb, and civilization collapsed in such a terrible way.
But...
Compared to being chased by monsters and having nowhere to go, now being able to work hard in the sun is nothing.
And he brought it all.
"A new day has begun, and it's still full of hope." Risa said with a smile, turning around to get the team uniform hanging on the hanger. The four letters "edf" were clearly printed on the back, with epaulettes, armbands and identification cards. , obviously an official edf team member, not someone claiming to be in Doomsday.
team u, a spontaneously formed team, ended its original mission after the defeat of Hyperjetton. However, everyone did not go their separate ways. They still hugged each other to keep warm. Together with the children who also lost their loved ones, they moved to the recovery area. In an orderly city.
Originally, her sister wanted Risa to continue working as a medical nurse, which is a very rare 'technical personnel' after the apocalypse, but Risa refused, and instead participated in the EDF with her sister, passed the assessment, and became an EDF medical soldier. , just because she doesn’t want to wait any longer and watch helplessly, and also wants to be able to pick up weapons, fight, and fight
After getting dressed, Risa straightened her collar and looked up at the photo frame hanging on the wall. There was a photo of a boy in a black windbreaker sitting on a swing made of steel pipes, iron chains and tires. on the bed, strumming the guitar in his arms, while many children were sitting around him.
"Good morning, Chiba-kun!" Risa said in a soft voice.
After leaving the door, the former vice-captain of Team U was running in a panic in the corridor while wearing an EDF uniform. After seeing Risa, he raised his hand and said hello: "Risa, good morning."
"Good morning," Risa greeted, "Did you get up late again?"
"The alarm clock is broken." The tomboy-like Misato said and ran out in big strides. Her panicked look was no different from that of an office worker who clocked in at a certain time.
In fact, Team U is actually at work now. They have been incorporated into the new Earth Defense Force. They drive construction robots modified in the apocalypse. They are responsible for cleaning up the ruins and rebuilding the shabby city destroyed by monsters, as well as transporting various supplies. It is very After all, the population has declined so severely, and all walks of life are seriously short of manpower. One person really wishes he could be used by ten people.
Walking out of the residential area, the sound of Lang Lang's reading came from the house not far away. Hina and Maoumi did not join EDF, but became teachers, teaching children knowledge.
