Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

The wind slapped the window and poured in through the holes. Frye woke up due to the urge to urinate, while Monica was still sleeping soundly beside him.

Fry opened the door cautiously. There was still a black and red ocean in the distance. The tentacles had moved far away. Fry looked worriedly at the bottom of the city wall. The tentacles did not climb up. There were some sounds not far away. Some people get together to drink.

There are probably hundreds of people on the city wall, and they all live in guard towers. Many people seem to be less afraid for the time being. These things have not swallowed up the city wall, nor have they continued to climb up.

There are also some food and drink items in several storage warehouses on the city wall. For the hundreds of people living here, this is the most leisurely time in many years.

Many people feel that it is a blessing in disguise. At least there is food and drink here. Although it is colder, it is perfectly fine as long as a few people are crowded together.

After Frye finished urinating, he sat on the edge of the city wall and looked at the dark land below. Some light appeared in the distance. Although it seemed very faint, Frye was always longing for light along the mountain. .

Fry has learned a lot of knowledge now, and he has a clear understanding of the world, because Monica instills a lot of knowledge into him every day.

I don't know why, but Monica always looks sad lately. Fry didn't ask because he knew that even if he asked Monica, she wouldn't answer.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps, and Frye saw a man walking over. As soon as he raised his head, the man handed over some biscuits, and Frye took them and ate them.

"What do you think it will be like in the future?"

The man looked drunk, Fry said after thinking for a moment.

"Maybe it would get better, if there were fewer people."

The man suddenly laughed, then looked at Frye fiercely and said.

"It's not easy to survive in this world. Why can a deformed person like you still live, but my child has to die?"

Frye felt something was wrong, and the man grabbed Frye emotionally, and then said with a evil smile.

"Deformed people like you have no right to live."

Fry subconsciously resisted, but the next moment he was carried outside the city wall by the man. Just as the man was about to let go, a red figure fell down, and Monica clamped the man with telekinesis. The man became extremely frightened.

"Spare me, I don't dare anymore, not anymore"

Monica pulled Frye over, and then looked at the man coldly without saying anything. The man fell from the city wall, and his miserable screams pierced the night sky.

Fry hugged Monica subconsciously, and Monica comforted him.

"It's okay. Let's go back to sleep. Be careful of whoever comes close to you, because you never know the purpose of their coming."

Frye snorted. He was very happy when he received the man's cookie at first, but the man suddenly made such a crazy move. This was the first time in his life that Frye felt extremely scared.

"Monica, what's happened to you recently?"

Fry asked Monica laughing.

"It's okay Fry, just keep everything as usual, but recently I have thought of some things from the past. If I had taken more responsibility and done more in the past, this grassland might not be like this."

Frye shook his head.

"These things cannot be changed by one or two people, Monica. I have discussed it with Avano before and discussed your matter."

Monica asked, intrigued.

"Tell me what you and Avano said."

Monica also wanted to hear how Avano, the eldest son of a large family, would evaluate her, the culprit of the grassland war.

Frye started talking, and this topic was discussed by the two of them accidentally.

Avano brought it up first, but immediately changed the subject. Frye also wanted to see what people like Avano would think of Monica.

In fact, Fry knew in his heart that some of the things Monica did were extremely cruel to other people, but Avano said that it was not Monica's fault that the grassland became like this.

This made Frye a little surprised, because Frye knew very well that what Avano said was the truth. People who didn't understand Monica had unreasonable hostility towards her. Such things seemed to Avano Incredible.

So at that time, Avano talked about some things about Monica's past that he heard from his father. For the first time, Fry knew what happened to Monica in the past.

After talking about the matter, Avano only said one sentence. There may be many people in this world who can hold the bottom line, but when the immediate interests are too huge, there are very few people who can hold the bottom line.

"I didn't expect that kid to look at me like that."

Monica said and Fry smiled.

"But he also said that you didn't stick to yourself at that time, because there are very few people in the world who can stick to themselves as always."

Monica took out a cigarette and lit it and smiled.

"Yeah, stick to yourself."

Monica looked at the darkness in the distance, and she began to tell Fry about some things in the past.

Monica herself also knows what happened to her past self. Monica had countless opportunities to change everything, but in the end Monica chose to give up and withdraw.

Monica has been thinking about this issue over the years, and she actually regrets it. If she could bear everything at that time, maybe a war would not break out in this grassland.

But it was already too late. Fry listened to Monica talk about the past and patted her on the back comfortingly.

"It's okay, everything will be okay, just like you told me Monica."

Monica pressed Fry's head and smiled.

"When did you start being able to comfort people?"

Frye smiled shyly and shook his head.

"Monica, no matter what, I hope to follow you all the time."

Monica looked at Frye blankly, then nodded, and the two returned to the house. The house fell into the cold again, and the two huddled in the corner and soon fell asleep.

Early the next morning, the two woke up to the noise outside. After they went out, they saw many people standing on the south wall, talking about something. Monica and Fry walked over and just The two of them had the same expression in the past. Not far away, there was a large group of black things, rotating and rising in different directions.

It was made up of some black and red tentacles. What frightened them the most was that there was a huge scarlet in these things, which looked like eyes at first glance.

The scene in front of them was horrifying. Many people looked at it in fear because they didn't know when these things would approach. At this time, some people exclaimed.

"It's moving, coming towards us."

After Monica discovered the clue, she immediately dragged Fry and ran. Relying on the power of the mutant, it was not a problem to rush over. As long as it could release a strong light, she could rush over.

Soon Monica rushed to the north wall with Frye, Frye swallowed and said.

"If it really doesn't work, then..."

Monica smiled.

"I won't leave you."

Sure enough, the mass began to move. Monica stared quietly. Many people had begun to go down the stairs. There were a lot fewer tentacles in the town, and they were almost invisible. But Monica knew very well that once they If you go down, you will definitely be noticed by the tentacles, and it will be impossible to escape by then.

At this moment, the thing started to move very fast. Monica hunched over and hugged Frye, and there were panicked sounds everywhere on the wall.

Seeing the group of things starting to get closer and closer, many people exclaimed in fear. Monica smiled, but at this moment, the group of things passed by the edge of the city wall, as if they didn't notice them. Nika stared blankly at the giant scarlet eye among the tentacles, which looked very terrifying.

Some people cheered for the survivors. Monica wiped the sweat from her forehead. She knew very well that what had just passed was extremely frightening and had an evil aura.

Monica couldn't help but feel fear in her heart. Monica had never been afraid of anything in the past, not even the gods. But this was the first time. As the first mutant on the grassland, Monica Nika was extremely scared at this moment.

After a while, the mass was no longer visible, and many people planned to celebrate because they were able to miraculously survive in this dangerous place.

As time passed, many people found that many of the tentacles below had disappeared. Many people had already started to go down and wait and see. Sure enough, after the mass of things passed by, the tentacles gradually disappeared.

Some people speculated that it was the main body of the tentacles. As long as the main body moved, the tentacles would naturally follow it. Some people began to go to the town to carry some things that had not been swallowed up to the city wall. They had planned to live here for a long time.

Monica also took Fry to the town and found some hand-cranked generators, which could at least provide power for lights and heating. Otherwise, it would be easy to get frostbite on such a cold city wall.

"What do you think that was just now Monica?"

Fry asked and Monica replied with a smile.

"Maybe it's something related to the gods."

Monica now understands why the gods are working so hard to develop technology. They want to make the sun rise, because it is impossible to face these things in the dark. Unless the sun can rise, these things will It will have nowhere to hide and will not be able to pose a threat to human survival.

At this time, Monica noticed some people carrying weapons and ammunition. The people on the opposite side also looked at Monica warily. Monica smiled helplessly.

"It's really not a worry."

Monica looked at Frye. She originally wanted to go farther away and let Frye stay here first, but now it seems that she can't leave because these people are dangerous.

The two returned to the small room, and Monica began to repair the broken window, while Fry struggled to shake the generator. This family-style hand-operated generator was invented by Avano, and it was the same as Avano's. It's exactly the same as what I've seen.

After a while, the light of an electrical appliance came on, and then there was light in the room, and Frye started shaking it with a smile.

Monica quickly repaired the window, threw away some unnecessary debris, set up a simple small bed, and took Frye down to find some tables and chairs.

Monica doesn't know how long such days can last, because after that mass of things passes, the humans over there may fall into the biggest conflict in history, not with monsters like that, but with humans and humans themselves.

"By the way Monica, there's a question I've been wanting to ask you."

Frye said and Monica nodded.

"You tell me."

Frye said after thinking for a moment.

"Why don't you go to the gods' base? If you go, I think the gods will accept you, right?"

Monica laughed. Indeed, she had thought about it before, and Gene and Ellie also said that if Monica stayed in the base to do scientific research with them, they could continue to teach Monica some knowledge, but Monica Card declined.

"Indeed, I would probably settle down if I went to the gods' base, but I don't really want to go."

Frye was a little stunned and said.

"Then why don't you take me with you?"

Fry asked and Monica shook her head.

"Now is not the time, maybe later, because the gods have to face all the problems on this grassland."

A fierce light came from the darkness in the distance. The two of them stood up and looked at some places in the mountain. The light was very dazzling, and the white light became a large area. Monica lit a cigarette and said.

"The final battle for survival has begun. Humanity will either be devoured by monsters or attack the gods."

Frye asked looking at Monica in surprise.

"Why attack God?"

Monica laughed. She had thought of such a result when she came to this city wall. People will become extremely crazy at the last moment, because if they want to survive, their only way is to enter God's base. There are monsters behind you, and hope for survival in front of you. If you have to choose between the two, you will only choose hope.

Even if this hope is slim, this is what Monica has learned after traveling in this world for so many years.

Looking at Frye who looked confused, Monica asked.

"The front is a base where you can survive, and the back is a monster that will be devoured if it catches up. What will you choose?"

"Of course it's the base."

Fry blurted out and seemed to realize something. He lowered his head and said.

"No one wants to wait to die, right Monica."

Monica hummed, touched Fry's head and said.

"Let's eat."

Monica didn't know how long this time would last, because whether the gods solved the problem or people all died, she would eventually die.

Monica recently realized that there were some problems with her body. Every day her body seemed to be about to burst. She endured the pain every day. She knew that maybe there was something wrong with her mutated cells.

Because many mutants have had such problems, and many mutants died in the end.

"What do you want to eat today?"

Monica asked and Fry looked at some corn.

"Eat this."
