Seventy years of the Doomsday Era.
Common people area.
Bai Jing skillfully shuttled through the large buildings made of scrap steel. From time to time, a few soaked broken arms and limbs would appear in the cesspools on the ground.
Not surprised, she held her breath and jumped over the putrid corpse, landing right on the side of the road.
A heavy bell rang in the sky, and she stopped and looked longingly in the direction from which the bell was coming.
The setting sun shrouded the huge city with tall walls, like divine light descending, and the several colorful fireworks rising from the city were dazzling.
"The Spirit Awakeners are holding a celebration again like this? I really don't know what there is to celebrate after killing a few infected people. If you have the ability, you can also take us in."
"They are genetically better than us, you have to admit it!"
"What the heck, what are they eating, drinking and doing, which I didn't do by working overtime in the factory every day? Why should I be worse than them!"
The shouting of the two drunk men behind him instantly brought Bai Jing back to reality.
When she looked up, the sky was filled with thick black smoke all year round, and ashes that looked like snow were floating in the air. From her memory, the sun had never been here.
She sighed, took out her small work badge from her bag and put it on her chest. She picked up the broken mirror on the ground and wiped the dust off her face before walking boldly into the air-raid shelter next to it.
After passing through the iron gates, you can see the increasingly bright lights, as well as the busy people coming in and out, and the drunken spiritual beings who are holding on to the wall and vomiting.
However, this place is not bound by the new laws, and spiritually aware people who are depressed by management often come here to relieve their stress.
A small door on the wall suddenly stretched out an arm and pulled Bai Jing in, who was walking.
"Ajing, you are late today."
The man held her captive in his arms, his hands already restlessly moving up and down, adding a bit of hot ambiguity to the small space.
Bai Jing pushed him away gently and looked outside from time to time: "Okay, let's wait until I get off work. I'll go find my boss first. I've slept today. The place I'm guarding is unattended for fear of infected people sneaking in."
Seventy years ago, some humans evolved into spiritual beings. They proudly shared their excellent genes with others, and at the same time rebuilt a new world with strict laws on the ruins.
And they, the common people who were nothing, were expelled to the border, separated only by a wall from the wilderness.
Outside the wall are former humans, now infected by the virus. They move during the day and regain human consciousness at night, and can be no different from normal people.
As a result, some infected people mingled in civilian areas, luring these helpless civilians to become food for the next day.
"No, Jing. I really missed you today. I almost thought you wouldn't come again. Can't you stay with me first?" The man held her in his arms and pressed his chin on top of her head. He didn't care at all. Let escape.
What happened to this man today? Inexplicably clingy.
Bai Jing murmured in her heart that this was her boyfriend Huo Qi, a spiritual awakener.
The two met by chance, and Huo Qi came to meet her at the bar where she worked after get off work.
The two of them got to know each other quite well after going back and forth. Later, Huo Qi confessed his love and became boyfriend and girlfriend in the old world relationship.
"I'll come to you as soon as possible after I've taken care of it. It would be bad if someone died during this time." Just as she struggled away, she suddenly smelled an extremely rancid smell, which made her stomach feel sour.
"Huo Qi, did you not take a shower after the mission? Why do you smell like corpse?" Bai Jing had no choice but to turn her face toward the door.
After she said this, she could clearly feel Huo Qi's body startled.
"I don't dislike you, it's just that the smell is too exciting." Bai Jing explained to him, looking at the man through the light coming through the crack in the door.
One glance made her legs weak with fear.
Half of Huo Qi's head in front of him had rotted away, and the remaining half of his face was covered with fine green lines, like some kind of charm, shining strangely in the darkness.
Almost instantly, Huo Qi's hands immediately clamped her throat as she was about to scream.
"Are you afraid now? Ah Jing, I originally loved you very much, but unfortunately I can't control my nature, so you just make a small sacrifice for me."
Bai Jing was stunned for a second, then squeezed out a few words from her throat: "You...are...infected..."
"How smart. But when girls like you heard that I was a spiritual awakener, they all wanted to come over to me. Now that I am in this situation, I can only blame you for being greedy." Huo Qi said and laughed arrogantly, sharply. The sound hurt her ears.
Bai Jing felt like she was about to strangle him to death, and slapped her hands on the wall randomly.
She...she can't die here yet.
In a panic, Bai Jing remembered the work badge on his chest, pulled it off, and inserted a sharp needle into Huo Qi's eye socket.
"Ah!" A scream rang out, and the man subconsciously covered his eyes with his hands, but then he remembered that he didn't seem to be afraid of losing an eyeball. He could get it back by eating human flesh.
He took his hand away and prepared to punish the disobedient "food", only to find that Bai Jing had run away, leaving the door open.
Bai Jing, who had temporarily escaped death, staggered into the crowded hall.
But before she got close, the strong smell of blood stopped her.
I don't know when more than a dozen infected people were mixed into the hall, and now they are in a period of relaxation. They knock people down and bite off their limbs like vicious dogs. They can even crush the bones and swallow them in their stomachs.
"It's over..." Bai Jing murmured. His legs that wanted to run were already weak, so he crawled outside only relying on his instinctive sense of survival.
She specifically chose the passage that the employees took, and met few people along the way.
Okay, okay, I saved my life.
When Bai Jing saw the door in front of her, she was congratulating herself for saving her life. Suddenly, a cold hand grabbed her ankle and pulled her back hard.
"Ajing, where are you going?"
