"Swish, swish."
In the dark night, rustling sounds came from the distance. Qiming's ears twitched and he slowly opened his bloodshot eyes.
At the four o'clock direction, about 100 meters away, the species must be a worm. There are about four obstacles on the road from me.
Ten, nine, eight......
Qi Ming clenched the steel bar that had been tied to his hand, tightened the cloth strip again, and counted ten silently in his heart.
Three, two, one!
When the countdown ended, Qiming didn't hesitate and burst out with all his strength and rushed out.
He stepped heavily on an abandoned vehicle frame covered with rust with his left foot, flew several meters high, placed his right hand on a dead branch covered with dust, and then met the oncoming insect head-on.
Standing high, the hand rises and the stick falls!
A meter long steel bar penetrated straight through the back of the creature's weak neck, and green-brown juice pierced out from the front.
The heavy body of the insect, which was more than two meters long, fell to the ground with a crash, and its eight legs with sharp blades lay limply on the ground.
Qiming pulled out the steel bar with a normal expression and casually wiped the juice on it. This thing's bodily fluids are poisonous, he knows, but...
never mind.
Pulling out a short knife from his waist, Qiming came to the corpse of the insect, stabbed it in, and dug out a stone-like thing that contained fire, a kind of fire.
It's quite complete.
With the corner of his mouth raised, Qi Ming put the tinder in his hand into his backpack. The hiking bag, which was not too big, was already full of more than 20 fist-sized tinder.
Fire, the core of the devil, is the only recognized trading currency in the post-apocalyptic ruins.
It can emit light to illuminate an area, can be used as a source of energy to release energy, and can even be eaten directly as food.
The surroundings fell into dead silence again. Qiming confirmed that it was safe, and then he exhaled a breath of cold air and looked at the extremely bright night sky.
AD 2141 is the 18th year since humans lost sunlight.
18 years ago, a planet-level cosmic attack came from a distant light-year away, bypassing all human detection methods and attacking the blue star.
Blue Star disintegrated and fragmented in large areas within 24 hours after the impact, and was immediately captured by the attacking "Nova". "
The rotation stopped completely, and the broken parts of the Blue Star solidified and faced the sun, where they were invaded and occupied by the new star creature "Demon".
The remaining hemisphere is immersed in eternal night, the mountains and rivers are broken, and the vegetation is dead. Human beings can only survive on the already dilapidated surface.
Qiming grew up on these ruins.
Unlike other survivors, he has never seen the so-called prosperous age before the end, nor the legendary sunshine. He was born in and grew up in this ruins. For Qiming, this is a world without miracles.
Because of the sharp decrease in the mass of the Blue Star, the surface gravity at this time is only about half of what it was before the end.
Qiming walked quickly and came to a small market hidden in an abandoned factory.
"Hey! Isn't this the Great God of Qiming? The Great God has gained a lot recently, right? I have new gadgets, hard goods, leftovers from the prosperous times, and wine. Do you want to consider it?"
The hawker at the black stall greeted Qi Ming warmly, no doubt because the hiking bag behind him was emitting a faint light.
Not far away, two middle-aged men were looking very unhappy.
"This kid is too arrogant, running around the world with his fire."
"He is just a wild dog! There is no organization at all. The old guy has been on his own since he died. He doesn't even have a kennel. What can he do if he doesn't take him with him?"
"The world is a dangerous place! If you don't show your wealth, you don't understand it. One day, be careful if someone chops it up."
Qi Ming's hearing was very good, and he heard every word of the conversation, but he didn't raise his eyes. He just quickly bought a new dagger and bought some food.
But this group of people had no intention of letting him go.
About thirty minutes after leaving the black goods stall, Qiming stopped.
"Aren't you tired after following me for so long?"
The other party didn't seem to want to hide it. Four people walked out to the open space where Qiming was, each took out a small piece of fire and installed it on the lighting device above their heads.
"Be wise and pay for your life."
This is ruins, now is the end, this eternal night has no order, only strength.
Qiming didn't even bother to delay: "Just you?"
While speaking, his thin figure disappeared like a ghost!
Without waiting for any reaction from the others, Qiming burst out with 100% power without hesitation. An arc under his feet bypassed the illuminated area above the nearest person's head, and he hit his neck hard with a backhand elbow.
An almost inaudible "click" sound came, followed by the gurgling sound of air mixed with blood foam, and then, the "click" sound of a bullet being loaded from the right side.
Turn around, rise up, fly to the knees, cross your hands!
A set of actions was completed in one go, and the opponent's gun had fallen into Qiming's hands.
"boom!"
The weapon that had just threatened Qiming's life was now completely transformed into a wedding dress. Although the homemade gun was not powerful, it was enough to destroy the shining fire in front of him.
Of course, there is also the head of the third person behind the fire.
Warm blood and pale brains splashed onto the last person. In just three seconds, three of the four people had turned into corpses.
Qiming's cold eyes finally looked at the last person, his young face without any warmth under the light of the fire.
"You, don't come here!"
The fourth man was already dead and had no sense of resistance at all. He turned around and ran back, but heard the sound of bullets being loaded again. At that moment, he knew that there was no way he could survive.
Mud, if you want me to die, let’s all die together! !
In the hands of the fourth person, a signal flare shot high into the sky!
Qiming's expression changed.
This guy is crazy!
The reason why fire is used as a light source is not just because it can emit light, but also because only the light of fire will not attract the devil!
In this area, there are small Level III Chi Ni!
Quickly killing the last person, Qiming didn't hesitate at all. He didn't even touch the body and ran away quickly.
But this time, he was unlucky.
A shadow tens of meters high was silhouetted under the starry sky. In the direction of Qi Ming's escape, he bumped into a Chi Ni that was rushing toward the light.
Damn it!
When they met on a narrow road, Qi Ming quickly loaded the gun and fired all the remaining bullets in the gun, but it was unable to cause any damage to the huge Chi Ni.
With his feet dragging long scratches on the ground, Qiming turned sharply and ran to the side.
But he is too small.
Struggling in the ruins, luck is also an important part of strength. It is obvious that this time, he cannot avoid the devil's lock.
The huge Chi Ni raised his arm casually and knocked Qiming away hard, hitting him on the side of a steel hill.
If it weren't for the change in gravity, he would have been shattered to pieces at this moment.
Chi Ni's huge shadow pressed down like a mountain again, blocking the last faint light of the stars.
Qi Ming leaned against the hill and collapsed on the ground. Everywhere in his body was in pain. He couldn't help but think of his master's finally relieved look before he died, but he clenched his fists.
Master, I don’t accept it.
I don’t want to be liberated. Even if I live in troubled times and my life is like an earthworm, I still want to fight until the last moment!
Just behind him, the hill suddenly opened its blue eyes in the night sky.
