Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

L

Blood flowed from a man's broken chest. Monica wiped the blood on her hands. In front of her eyes were frightened people holding weapons. Monica approached step by step, and they shook their heads in despair.

More than a dozen people had no way out. Behind them was the edge of the city wall, with black and red tentacles below, and in front of them was a powerful mutant who wanted to kill them.

Frye looked at Monica blankly. He was shaking violently. He knew very well that this was wrong and would not work. However, the original army's food inventory on the city wall was almost exhausted. If Monica The two of them wouldn't be able to hold on for a long time without killing some people.

"That's enough Monica, how about..."

As soon as Frye finished speaking, several people opened fire, but some of the guns exploded. Monica jumped up, and before any of them screamed, they were thrown directly into the sea of ​​black and red tentacles below by Monica.

Now there are more black and red tentacles, and the huge rustling sound is far louder than before, and can be heard clearly even in the room.

Fry cried. He kept wiping his tears and looked at Monica who lit a cigarette and turned around. It was so scary. Although she had seen Monica kill some people in the past, most of the time. When others attack them, Monica will fight back.

But this time it was different. Monica took the initiative to kill others because the supplies on the city wall were not enough to support hundreds of people. The battle had already started a few days ago. Everyone realized that they had to kill others to survive. longer.

Especially after seeing the light disappear in the mountain forest, many people took action, and Monica did not hesitate. In the past few days, hundreds of people have been killed.

Now, only Monica and Fry were left on this city wall. Monica walked over with a smile and put one hand on Fry's head.

"Do you think I did something wrong?"

Frye didn't nod or shake his head, because he himself didn't know or couldn't make a judgment. If this continued, even if the other party didn't take the initiative to attack, both sides would have to fight to the death because of the food issue.

After noticing that the light strip across the street was out, Frye realized something was wrong.

"You go in and rest. This food is enough to sustain us for a few months."

Frye hummed, turned around, and answered that he was in a room. This was the place where he and Monica had lived for seven months. On this city wall, it was already a miracle that he could live until now.

Fry would often ask Monica what the future would be like, but Monica had no answer.

Everything has come to the last moment. Monica said that in the end everyone can only wait for death. Those who don't want to die will find a reason for themselves to die and launch a final attack on the base of the gods.

"How much further can we go?"

Monica was sitting on the edge of the city wall. The cold wind coming towards her made it difficult for her to let go. She knew exactly what she had done and why she did it.

Looking back on everything in the past, Monica has no real sense now, as if she had had a long dream.

Monica looked towards the horizon. She knew very well that both she and Fry would die in the end, because hope had disappeared. Perhaps many years ago, when human society was still developing in peace, people's inaction would lead to Hope is doomed.

"What a terrible, failed life."

After Monica finished speaking, she laughed. Her eyes were a little moist. At this time, there was a sound of footsteps. Monica hurriedly wiped away her tears. Fry came over and sat next to Monica.

"I'm sorry, Monica, I didn't mean for you."

Monica smiled.

"Don't say anything Fry, maybe the gods still have a way. When the light shines on the sky, hope will come again. Remember Fry, if the light really comes one day, you need to go your own way. As long as you think it is the right path, go on it without any hesitation."

Frye hummed, and then the two leaned against each other and closed their eyes.

1:00 noon

In the family meeting room of the Angus family, more than two hundred members of the Angus family were discussing some matters, which were extremely important to the entire Angus family.

The town's defense line is not impenetrable. Once there is a problem in any link, they are doomed. In the future, the town will not only have to resist the invasion of those tentacles, but also people from outside.

There have been more than ten attacks since the morning, and those who want to come in rush over at all costs.

Now on the outskirts of the entire town, there is a man with a weapon watching just a few steps away, and tens of thousands of people are standing guard on the outskirts.

What the family members need to do is to carry out every step of the task without any problems. After a short discussion, the family members all left one after another and began to go to their respective locations.

Tu Ke pressed his head tiredly. The news about the attack on the gods' base was conveyed back yesterday afternoon. The situation there now is very bad. Tu Ke only knows that many people died.

Looking at his silent son, Tu Ke smiled.

"Awano, if I leave one day, you will have to shoulder the future of the Angus family."

Avano looked at his father with serious eyes, he knew what his father was talking about.

"what should we do?"

Avano said that Tuke has prepared everything in a cave that can accommodate more than 2,000 people. If a problem arises, the Angus family will lead the core members into the cave.

Tuk knew that this day would come. Those black and red tentacles had already crawled all over the town, places that the light could not reach.

They will eventually pass through the light and engulf the town in an instant.

There is no retreat now, Avano said.

"Father, I think the gods will find a way."

Tuk nodded. It is true that the gods have been thinking of a solution, but the problem has forced humans to fall into madness and despair. If the gods don't do something, everything will be over.

Avano knew what his father meant, he was a little scared, Tuk comforted him.

"There are no problems at the moment."

After Tu Ke stood up, the father and son left the conference room and came outside. Many people were running in a hurry on the street. Everyone tried their best to carry everything needed for the perimeter defense line, because once the perimeter was lost, Everyone knew what was going to happen to this town.

At this time an officer ran over and said.

"Mr. Angus, there is a problem in Cave No. 1."

Tuke immediately led people over, and sure enough, a large number of people gathered in front of this food-producing cave. Many of them were old, weak, sick, and disabled. They hoped to enter the cave, but the person guarding the door refused. This cave It is the last refuge of the Angus family.

Tuke also knew that he couldn't hide it, and many people had already noticed it.

"Please go back, there will be no problem. As long as we hold on until the gods come up with a solution, everything will be fine."

After Tu Ke finished speaking, discussions arose, and many people shook their heads in disbelief.

The problem at hand is very likely to turn into a conflict. Everyone wants to go in, but this cave cannot accommodate so many people, let alone these old, weak, women and children without any labor force.

The noise increased, and many people questioned that the Angus family would enter the cave and close the door if there was a problem.

Tu Ke could only smile bitterly, he could not think of any way to solve it, at this time Avano said.

"As long as there is light, we can continue to live here. We will try our best to produce some human-powered power generation devices, and our mutant people are constantly going out to find some usable materials. As long as everyone can hold on, we guarantee Everyone will have a lighting and power generation unit."

Avano's words made many people quiet down. Tuke wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling extremely nervous. Finally, people began to disperse.

Tuk breathed a sigh of relief and Avano smiled.

"There are always more solutions than difficulties, father. We must hurry up and continue making hand-operated generators."

Tu Ke hummed and looked at the base of the gods in the distance.

In a small town in the east, some people were quietly waiting for the black and red tentacles crawling over not far away. They had no intention of escaping.

Many people were close together, and everyone was talking about something. They were so hungry that they couldn't even walk. The tentacles were gradually attacking them. Far behind them, there was a faint light. The place where the Hillman family is still, but no one has been able to enter.

Gradually, the black and red tentacles squirming in the darkness could be seen. Many people closed their eyes, waiting for the tentacles to swallow them up.

However, fear still made some people stand up, and they fell to the ground within a few steps of turning around.

Some people still didn't want to give up and tried to get up, but fell to the ground unable to do so again and again.

And this kind of thing is also happening in some towns in the west, and many people are already planning to wait for death.

In the far north, many people face the mountains that cannot be climbed, and their eyes are dull, because there are many black and red tentacles on the mountains. Many people who fled to the north are desperate.

Some people think that as long as they run into the mountains, there may be a glimmer of hope, but now such hope has been cut off by the black and red tentacles coming down from the mountains.

Some people have realized that human beings will eventually perish, and they will see the moment when human beings perish.

Many people took out the remaining food and ate it with big mouthfuls. The fight was meaningless. Although the number of black and red tentacles climbing down from the highest mountain in the north was small, it was certain that they would wait for them. When it starts to rise quickly, it will be the time when mankind will perish.

Some people began to walk back, planning to walk wherever they went until they fell to the ground.

3pm

Jean sat quietly at the door of the base, smoking silently. It was already noon the next day, but the sun still had not risen, and there was a sea of ​​corpses piled up in front of him.

A war has just ended, a unilateral massacre. Anyone who comes close to the base will be killed by Jean. Jean has been speechless for a long time.

Hawk told Gene that there was something wrong with the transmitting tower, and several other gods were working on repairs.

Seeing another person coming up in front of him, Gene gritted his teeth and stood up, walking step by step through the sea of ​​corpses. Looking at the charging crowd, Gene clenched his fists. He couldn't bear it anymore and shouted.

"Don't come up again, stop, stop."

However, the voice was drowned in the huge crowd. Jean rushed towards the crowd without any hesitation or mercy. Jean killed everyone around him in the fastest way.

Until the last person fell, however, the people around him had taken the opportunity to rush to the base, including many mutants. Jean turned around in despair.

Over the past day, Gene had shouted countless times, but to no avail.

No one would pay attention to Jean's words. Desperation prompted them to rush over, because the black and red tentacles had moved not far away, and many people were driven by the tentacles, step by step towards a dead end.

In the base, Ye Chunwang sat quietly in the aisle. The sounds outside became quiet again, and Hawke stood opposite.

"It should be soon. As long as the sun rises, everything will be over."

Hawke said, and Ye Chunwang rubbed his sore eyes. The two of them hadn't closed their eyes for several days because they couldn't fall asleep at all.

The current situation was very clear to the two of them. It was clear that they only needed to wait for a while, just a short while. However, these people who rushed up could no longer hear anything.

"Don't rush over again, the sun will rise, it will rise."

Gene's shout came again, Ye Chunwang's eyes turned red, he stood up and walked out, Hawke grabbed him and said.

"Do you want to go out and die?"

Ye Chunwang asked, clenching his fists.

"Is there nothing we can do?"

Hawke snorted, and at this moment, many people rushed up again.

This time the scale is even larger, but they are coming from all directions. Some big holes have been made in other parts of the base. It is only a matter of time before people from outside enter the base.

At this moment, the lights in the base went out, and the cry suddenly appeared, and Hawke shouted directly.

"Don't panic, everyone, they won't be able to get in for the time being."

But it was obvious that this would not help. Soon the backup power supply was activated. Hawk stared blankly at the six gods who had walked out. Ye Chunwang ran out in an instant.

Jean screamed in despair, but at this moment, everyone was attracted by a ray of light, and a violent ray of light instantly spurted out from the top of the mountain.

This scene made everyone who was originally angry close their eyes. This light was so dazzling that everyone was attracted.

Everyone everywhere could clearly see this white light reaching into the sky, instantly making the whole world look like daylight, and then a fierce red appeared, and the whole world was dyed red.

Gene raised his head and closed his eyes. The light began to slowly return to normal. A white and gentle light reached the ground in an instant. The sun rose and the darkness in the sky dissipated.
