Chapter 1 Teenager
Looking at the cold corpse on the ground, Wang Tian's blood seemed to gradually become colder. His only relative, his father, who had been with him for twelve years, died like this.
After a long time, Wang Tian wiped his tears and sweared in his heart: "This is the last time I shed tears. Father, I will survive." He looked up at the sky outside with a sour rain. Wang Tian took off the short knife on his father's waist, saying it was a knife, but it was actually a short paratrooper shovel. His hand was gone, half of the shovel surface was broken, and the remaining side was polished. This was the one that Wang Tian stolen from the camp of the captive team when he was eight years old.
Nowadays, the earth only has six hours of sunlight every day, and the remaining eighteen hours are all in the darkness, and the night is full of killing and murderous intent step by step.
For the humans on Earth today, the night represents death. The acid rain falls from time to time in the sky. For the humans who have lived in this environment for more than a thousand years, although it is not as painful as being poured by sulfuric acid as they were at the beginning, they cannot be drenched in the rain for a long time. The sky here is grayish white and the ground is dark brown. In the western part of China, there are only these two colors that can be seen. For the existing people on Earth, green may only be enjoyed by the core people in the cities in several major control areas.
Originally, it was 1,302 meters above sea level, 25 kilometers long from east to west, and 13.7 kilometers wide from north to south. Mount Li, a branch of the Qinling Mountains, now looks more like a plain, with only a few undulating hills left on the mountain.
The place where Wang Tian is located is a military base that was abandoned a few days ago in the disaster. It is located in the Lishan Mountains in Shaanxi in the former China region. The base originally built deep in the mountains is now only part of the underground is intact, and the bottom layer is covered up. For more than a thousand years, the lower layer has not been opened due to the lack of large machinery. The Wang and Li clans were able to survive after the disaster because of this abandoned base.
Nowadays, human settlements are distributed around the world in the Central Plains of Asia, in the northwest of New Mexico in North America, in the foothills of the Ural Mountains in the Eurasian continent, and in ancient Africa and Egypt.
Most of them are secret military bases in various places to survive such disasters. Due to various reasons such as nuclear radiation after the disaster, people's physical condition is gradually changing. Some mutated races and natural evolutionary people have emerged. These people are the most powerful existence on the earth, and they are also at the highest core position among these human-controlled areas.
After burying his father, Wang Tian sat blankly on the ground. Now the greatest value of this base is that it is safe enough. In addition, there is a clean water converter and a small amount of energy blocks, weapons, equipment and reserve materials, as early as the day before the disaster, and the rest were taken away by the tribe members when they relocated ten years ago.
Ten years ago, for some reason, many large mutant creatures appeared in the mountains. In order to survive, the tribe members died one after another when they went out to hunt. The young and middle-aged tribesmen died every day. The Wang and Li clans who had been living here for more than a thousand years had to go out of the mountains and seek a way to survive.
Fortunately, in the past few hundred years, there was no complete ties with the outside world. There was also a Wang family in the Central Plains. Due to the dangerous journey, there was no excessive contact. This time, he went out for almost a lifetime. The old and weak were left at the base and left some food. Wang Tian's father was reluctant to leave Wang Tian and his wife who had been sick after giving birth, but he still could not save his wife's life. He died when Wang Tian was three years old. In the years afterwards, the old and weak tribe members passed away one by one, leaving only Wang Tian and his father to depend on each other.
Although he has been malnourished for many years, the twelve-year-old Wang Tian is still about 1.6 meters tall. He has inherited his parents' high-quality genes. He has yellow skin, dark eyes, straight facial features, slightly straight nose bridge, and a bit elegant on his thin face. But as soon as he grits his teeth, the softness of his face will disappear immediately, and every muscle is bulging with edges and angularity, and layers of murderous aura are revealed on his slightly tender face.
His black hair was casually draped over his shoulders, his face was a little sallow, and only his eyes that had just cried red revealed a ray of light when they were opened. He has been witnessing death and killing since he was born. Although his father's death was a big blow to Wang Tian, the three words "living" kept shouting in his heart!!!
It has been two days since he had no food to enter his stomach. After rubbing his stomach that was about to rebel, Wang Tian slowly stood up. He was very slow in his movements. The long-term and difficult environment had long learned how to distribute his strength. He drank a small sip of water and did not dare to drink too much. The empty stomach would turn the water into stomach acid, which would only make him feel even more uncomfortable.
There are two hours left to enter the night and you have to go out, otherwise it is even more impossible to hunt food until tomorrow with your current physical strength. The acid rain has stopped, and this is the best time for hunters.
Wang Tian, who has been with his father since childhood, was hunting alone for the first time. He held the short knife in his hand tightly and looked at the empty base. He shouted "opened the door" Wang Tian shouted (the technology before the disaster had already allowed the base to achieve intelligent control). As the door cracked the gap in the human gap, Wang Tian quickly walked out.
The eyes are full of tall mutant poplar trees. Recently, the poplar trees were widely distributed in China, from Xinjiang to the eastern coast, from Heilongjiang to the north, Inner Mongolia to the Yangtze River Basin. Whether it is to create protective forests or use timber forests, poplar trees are the main afforestation tree species, and they are the most widely distributed and most adaptable tree species in the world.
The mutated poplar trees become taller, each of which is more than 100 meters tall, and there are basically no branches below more than 20 meters. The wide black leaves cover the poplar forests so that they are not airtight, and light rays fall on the ground through the leaves.
Wang Tian buried himself in the soil for almost an hour, breathing slowly and soothingly. Here, every creature is a hunter and a hunted person. Any careless consequence is to lose life and become the other party’s food. Wang Tian is now only at the lowest end of this food chain. His father’s death makes him face all this.
"Bang", a slight sound, was a mutated black-line-toothed rat.
Adult black-lined rats are generally about 15 meters long, weighing 50 to 90 kilograms, and are fat. The fur is extremely hard and generally cannot be damaged by blunt objects. The kiss is blunt, the ears are round, and there is a cheek pouch. The back hair is yellow-brown, and there is a black stripe in the center of the spine. The side of the kiss, the ventral surface and the lower part of the limbs are gray-white, which is clearly divided from the fur color of the back. The limbs are short and the tail is less than one-quarter of the body length, and they like to live alone.
The black-lined mouse has a small range of movement, mostly within 300 meters. It has sharp claws, and one claw can capture several holes in the mutant tree. Only the grayish white ventral surface can penetrate. Although it is also at the low end of the biological chain, it is already a terrible existence for Wang Tian and one of the few creatures he can deal with now.
Eight steps, five steps, two steps, getting closer and closer. Wang Tian suddenly pushed his toes up. The moment when the Black-Seed Rat turned around and checked, he held a short knife in his hands and broke the nearly one foot thick soil layer and forked it into the Black-Seed Rat's lower abdomen. At the same time, his upper body suddenly raised, revealing the face of the earth facing the ugly face of the Black-Seed Rat, and the long rat whiskers almost poked Wang Tian's face.
He heard a "squeak" scream, and the sharp claws of the black-lined rat's front limbs were grabbed towards him. Wang Tian hurriedly turned his face to the side, but he still couldn't escape. His sharp claws directly grabbed his cheeks, and his remaining momentum was not diminished. He also cut open the torn clothes on his shoulders and pulled out a long hole.
Wang Tian didn't care about the pain at this time, and suddenly stood up. The sharp blade inserted into the rat's body was cut with the upward force of his body. Blood was sprayed out with the internal organs. The black-lined rat's strength also disappeared with the sprayed blood, and the entire body was overwhelmed on Wang Tian's body. The rat's face strangely pointed at Wang Tian's face, and the half-open mouth made a vomiting stench.
I didn't care about the liquid flowing out of my mouth due to nausea and bandaging my wounds, so I quickly pushed open the corpse of the black-lined rat, took out a iron kettle that I had prepared from my waist, cut two cloth strips with a knife and stuffed it out of my nose, and then carefully sprinkled the powdery thing in the kettle around the corpse of the black-lined rat. This was not the time to relax. I don't know how many mutant creatures were staring at me, and simply bandaged the wound on my shoulders. The bright red flesh on my face, which was opened by the sharp claws of the mutant rat, turned outward, which was a little more similar to the dry white lips that turned out of blood loss.
The powder poured out is dried and ground into a mutated skunk gland. This skunk is as big as a domestic cat. It is between fifty and sixty centimeters long and weighs about twenty kilograms. The male is larger than the female. The head, ears, and eyes are small; the limbs are short.
The skunk uses the smelly gland secretions as a defense weapon. The meat is extremely smelly and cannot be eaten, so no mutant creatures are willing to hunt. If you smell this smell from afar, other creatures will not approach you. If you do not use this powder to cover up the smell of blood left by yourself and the black-lined rat, you will definitely help other mutant animals to make wedding clothes and also have to pay your life.
He took his hand from the abdomen of the Black-Type Rat toward his head, "Hehe, you're lucky." After taking out his arms stained with blood, a crystal of a large fingernail-sized crystal stained with rat blood stayed on Wang Tian's palm, carefully placed it in the bag on his waist, and then took out the internal organs of the Black-Type Rat and threw it into the pit he dug just now to cover it, sprinkle a little skunk powder on the corner of his clothes.
He carried a black-lined mouse on his back and moved toward his residence carefully and quickly............
