"Buzz - Alert! Level 1 Alert! All citizens are asked to go to the shelter, a large number of aliens are attacking the city..."
The bright red full moon hangs high in the night sky, the city is awakened by alarms, mutated moles are flying all over the sky, screaming and leaning over to bite human heads into pieces, giant centipedes are arching out of the ground, and the city's iron walls have collapsed.
The crowd screamed in despair and blood soaked the ground.
"Report! The military base was invaded by alien jellyfish and the weapons depot was lost!"
"Report! The tower defense and power stations in the city completely collapsed, and a large number of highly polluting aliens appeared..."
On the command podium, battle reports surged like a tidal wave, mixed and deafening.
The listener stood with backlight, holding on to a cane due to a leg injury. The cold-toned halo of the military optical brain illuminated her thin lower jaw, and her eyebrows gradually furrowed.
The new battle report was delivered, and the adjutant stumbled and lost his voice: "Admiral! All the shelters in the city were destroyed by aliens..."
"Don't panic," Baizhu tilted her head and spoke in a low voice. The backlight made her blue eyes hide in the shadows, making her cold and silent, "Quiet."
"……yes."
The radar issued a warning, and the optical brain detected cracks in the ground, a short distance away from the command platform.
Baizhu adjusted the hearing aid in his right ear, tightened his pupils slightly, and waited for the crack to approach, or even cross the safety line:
"255 meters directly in front of the command platform, use the ion cannon."
The order is given, and the ion bomb explodes into the darkness!
The hundred-meter-long alien earthworm was blasted out of the soil, and pus spurted out from its body. The aliens on all sides were affected and corroded, and screams came one after another!
The heat wave surged and pushed, and the explosion-proof glass was instantly blown away, and the fragments splashed across the corners of Baizhu's eyes——
In order to increase the kill rate and let the aliens approach, she almost blew up the command podium!
"Come on, Admiral," the adjutant was frightened into a cold sweat by Bai Zhu's dangerous move, and continued in a hoarse voice, "The ammunition can only last for three minutes at most. All aircraft have crashed, the missiles have been cleared, and we have no way to retreat."
The defense line completely collapsed, and the sad moonlight spilled onto the battlefield littered with corpses.
Bai Shu closed his eyes: "I know."
Sixty years ago, the red moon appeared in the sky, biological pollution mutated, large areas became wastelands, human territory continued to shrink, and cities lingered.
Finally came this day.
"Humanity has done its best, so there is no need to feel guilty. If I had been born thirty years earlier, I might have been able to change the outcome before the pollution reached its peak."
Baizhu paused slightly, even his gentle tone was cold.
"Of course, if there weren't those losers in the inner city, human beings would be able to persist a little longer."
The adjutant felt numb and did not dare to answer.
Forty years before the Red Moon, moths in the inner city gnawed at the foundation of survival and persecuted the officers. Baizhu was also involved, and his best friend died without a complete body.
In the forty-fifth year of the Red Moon, Bai Shu mobilized the army to massacre the top brass and became the sole commander of the entire army.
If not, humanity would have perished long ago.
"Admiral, then we..."
"Use the last cosmic laser weapon [White Rainbow] and aim it at the center of the city." Bai Shu smiled tiredly and relievedly, "Human beings are going to say good night to the universe."
"..." The adjutant's eyes were red and his voice was choked and firm, "Yes!"
Despair passes like a storm, and the death knell of the end is dull. Even the night sky is suppressed to the point of suffocation, and there is only crying everywhere.
Bai Zhu took off his hearing aid, and all the noise and blurred down in an instant. Even his shoulders couldn't help but relax. There was no fear or sadness, but it was as if the body that was seriously injured and on the verge of death had finally relieved the pain, relieved and light.
At least in the future, Bai Zhu thought, I won’t have to worry so much and people won’t be paraded with signs calling them crazy...
The corner of his clothes was gently pulled down.
She lowered her head and saw the girl holding the teddy bear stretching out her hand: "Hug."
Qi, who was rescued by her last month and took with her, is introverted and speaks only two words every three days.
There is no risk of turning the hearing-impaired into total deafness...
Bai Zhu felt relieved and picked up the girl with one arm, who hugged her neck affectionately.
"You don't like being a commander." Qi whispered.
Baizhu's pupils moved slightly and he chuckled: "Yes, I am engaged in ordnance."
She would have become the Empire's finest ordnance expert.
"Meteor," the girl pointed to the sky, "Want to make a wish?"
The sky exploded with dazzling light, and a [white rainbow] fell from the sky like a shooting star.
"……Yes I do."
Bai Shu smiled, and the backlight cast shadows on her delicate features, as if it was hiding many past events that she could not talk about. There was only a slight light shining in her eyes, like broken ice colliding silently in the deep sea.
"Does it count to want to change the past?"
It was quiet everywhere, and the heat of the white rainbow came oncoming——
The little girl in my arms suddenly came to my ear and whispered like a secret:
"Forget it, God said: Mercy comes to the world."
Bai Zhu looked around instantly, and at the same time, the ceiling was blown away like pieces of paper and burned, fire spewed out, and everything collapsed.
boom!
A white rainbow penetrated the sun, and the earth trembled. At the last second of his consciousness, Bai Shu saw the child holding a doll in the blazing fire and pointed to his ear.
He curled his lips and smiled on the earth where mankind was dying.
…
"Damn it, Fatty Liu, can you do it?"
"You can't do that! Damn, don't attack the alien's belly. I told you that the person might still be alive!"
So noisy, so hot.
A red film occupies the field of view, with only a glimmer of light cast from the top.
"The seagull's belly is so thick, if I don't be more cruel, the child will suffocate to death!"
The noise and gunfire were close at hand, but they were dim and far away like the aftertaste of drowning.
...a revolving door before death? Bai Zhu closed his eyes and wanted to relax his body.
"It's all over! Shoot and open the dead bird's stomach!"
"Bang!" The shock came suddenly, and the earth-shaking filth flooded his face. Bai Shu was instantly choked by the stench, and his body, which was about to lose its vitality, jerked violently!
Fuck, that’s not right!
Bai Zhu barely opened his eyes, grabbed the undigested bones from the filth, held them together with both hands and stabbed at the blood film!
"Stab-!"
"Cough cough cough!" With the influx of oxygen in the sky, Baizhu straightened up suddenly and coughed violently!
The rescue team came to an abrupt stop with several confused faces. Fatty Liu, who was about to save someone, was dumbfounded. He looked at the child who had stabbed the seagull's stomach open and spoke out the thoughts of everyone——
"Fuck, awesome! I had a caesarean section!"
Wonder awakens the sanity of the rest.
"Kill the alien seagull completely and save people!"
"Control her and take blood tests."
"Damn it, a kid of twelve or thirteen years old actually swallowed it alive. This seagull thought he was eating French fries!"
Before he could catch his breath, Baizhu was restrained to the ground, and the female doctor moved forward to draw out three large tubes of blood.
"No, wait...hiss." Baizhu's eyebrows jumped in pain.
The needle was withdrawn, and the next second the sleeve was held by the little chubby man who came closer, shaking it enthusiastically, and trying his best to comfort him:
"Congratulations, little kid, you actually survived from the seagull's stomach! Ah, you are just some undigested mice and stomach acid, and maybe some semi-finished feces. It doesn't matter. Living is the most important thing!
"The purpose of drawing blood is to check whether you are contaminated. We can control minor contamination with medicine. If there is no problem, we will take you back to the city.
"By the way, to commemorate this special day, how about I call you 'Little Fries' from now on?"
What?
Bai Shu barely suppressed his shock, turned his head and glanced at his miniature hand, then raised his undamaged right leg, and finally asked in a trembling voice under the vigilant and curious gazes of several people:
"This year is... what year is the Red Moon?"
"What?" Fatty Liu was stunned for two seconds and then suddenly realized, "Oh... I understand, don't worry, you just stayed in there for a while, this year is still the 20th year of the Red Moon!"
Twenty Years of Red Moon...
Bai Shu suddenly clenched her fists to get up, but when others scolded her and pushed her down, her vision turned black and her heartbeat accelerated violently——
Twenty years after the red moon, there are still ten years left before the peak of pollution!
She went back to before humanity was destroyed!
