From doomsday survival to fast-forward daily life

On December 5th, the first heavy snow in the whole of Yisu fell last night. The bloodstains soaked in the snow outside the city of Haksu made this winter day terrifying and dead silent.

Tian Yu stayed in a house in the city. Ever since the Zerg came, she would disguise herself as someone else and participate in the fighting outside the city every day.

"Seventy-three." A face in the mobile photo album. This man died in a new round of Zerg attack last night.

If we count carefully, more than a thousand people have died in Haksu City in the past half month. Those who were seriously injured and returned to the city would be fine, but if they died outside the city, even their bodies could not be found.

The Zerg eat people, the vines outside the city eat people, and even people eat people.

The refugees from Haxu became part of the resistance against the Zerg; in comparison, they were like insignificant stepping stones.

They were transporting supplies continuously amidst the heavy gunfire, and if they were not careful they would die outside the city.

Just yesterday, Tian Yu, who was pretending to be a soldier, saw with his own eyes a stray bullet from a soldier next to him pierce the chest of a refugee, but his expression was calmer than if he had accidentally killed a stray dog ​​on the roadside.

Don’t the refugees have any opinions?

Of course there is, but compared to becoming a puddle of meat, accepting your own fate seems to be a glimmer of hope.

As it got dark, Haksu had imposed a curfew during these days. Tian Yu turned on his invisibility and followed the refugees who were transporting supplies out of the city.

After reaching the outside of the city, Tian Yu walked towards the battle line.

The Zerg always like to launch attacks at night.

She came to the edge of the trench, wondering who would die today.

A sickle-like claw over two meters long pierced through the chests of four soldiers.

This insect is 1.5 meters long and looks like a mantis, but its jumping ability is amazing. With just a slight movement, it can jump a distance of seven or eight meters and rush directly into the trench.

Tian Yu had already sensed the other party's arrival through his extrasensory perception, so he dodged in advance.

Looking at the dead soldiers, her eyes moved to one of the faces: "It's you."

She chooses her identity casually every day. To be honest, there is a risk of being exposed, but Tian Yu doesn't care too much. At the critical moment of life and death, her purpose is just to earn points.

In the darkness, her figure gradually emerged.

After killing several people, the mantis-like Zerg was immediately besieged by soldiers.

Tian Yu raised the gun in his hand and waited for the right moment.

[Player kills Zerg "Sickle Mantis" 110 times, with a kill percentage of 20%, and gets 10 points]

In these days, she has earned 860 points.

The calculation of the kills by the system was really simple. After many experiments, although the Zerg were not killed by her alone, as long as she participated, she would get some points. Picking up leaks became her favorite thing to do these days.

One of the advantages of this is that her weapons will not be exposed. Although the points are a little less, but a little bit adds up to a lot, and she only needs to move around.

The attack of the Scythe Mantis was just the beginning. More and more Zergs rushed into the trenches, most of which were extremely threatening in close combat.

The death toll looks set to reach a new level tonight.

Four hours later, Tian Yu fled from the trench.

Today's attack was much more fierce than in previous days, and Haksu's army had to abandon the first layer of trenches.

Tian Yu was breathing heavily. She was confident that if she used all her strength, she could probably hit the Zerg's vital point with one shot from the laser gun. However, the possibility of being exposed was too great. Her hiding her abilities these days was not without gain. At least she had been trained in shooting.

Just as she was about to stand up, her scalp suddenly felt numb. Without time to change to a safe position, she flew to the side.

"Get down!" Tian Yu shouted.

A team of refugee laborers were transporting supplies to the trench where Tian Yu was. When they heard the voice, many of them were stunned.

The moment Tian Yu fell, he pulled down a woman who was standing next to him.

Screams came from all around, and Tian Yu felt that his calves seemed to be stained by something and were burning with pain.

The danger was over and she got up.

Many people around had already fallen to the ground, their bodies covered with fluorescent mucus.

This mucus corrodes human skin like sulfuric acid.

Tian Yu looked at the refugees who were screaming on the ground, and a chill rose from the bottom of his heart.

Those soldiers who were previously active suffered almost no casualties, because the moment Tian Yu shouted, those soldiers who were unable to dodge found their own human shields.

Picking up a bottle of water scattered on the ground, Tian Yu poured it on the wound of a refugee who was rolling and screaming, trying to wash off the mucus on his body.

"Don't waste water," a soldier held Tian Yu's hand, "They are dead. The corpse collectors will come and take them to the vine forest."

With his hand held down, Tian Yu began to react.

"Eighty, eighty-one..." she muttered to herself.

"Are you scared silly? I saw that you reacted quite quickly just now. Which unit are you from?" A man who looked like an officer spoke.

This trench was almost entirely filled with scattered soldiers.

In Tian Yu's photo album that collected faces, several more people were added to the death list.

"Did they do something wrong?" Tian Yu suddenly looked up and asked.

"What?" The officer was a little stunned.

"Yesterday, she handed me a bottle of water and said thank you to me."

Tian Yu pointed at the body on the ground that had lost its voice and asked, "Did they do something wrong?"

The faces of the people around him changed when they heard this, and the officer also looked a little angry: "They are all refugees!"

"Yeah," Tian Yu nodded, "Aren't you? You are a lost dog without a country."

One word can cause a thousand ripples, and this sentence seemed to have touched the nerves of these soldiers.

Some even pulled out their guns and pointed them at Tian Yu.

"Get out of here quickly." Tian Yu glanced at the dazed refugees.

This time, some of them finally reacted and crawled out of the trench.

Tian Yu looked at the dozen or so soldiers in the trench and gradually disappeared from their sight.

The explosion occurred from inside the trench.

Tian Yu walked towards the next trench.

"Thirty-nine." After counting, she found that quite a few Haksu officers and soldiers had died at her hands these days.

When he was actually in the war, Tian Yu felt for the first time the so-called sense of detachment and control.

She does not belong to any force in this world. Without any mission and without being influenced by her original body, she only serves herself, so she only considers her own survival and points in many things.

So she was able to withdraw. She didn't care about the life and death of humans at the hands of the Zerg, and didn't care who would win or lose in the end. In the final analysis, everything was a necessary process in this world.

Even because of her powerful military force, she can choose to move freely between the battlefield and the safe city in the rear. Now Tian Yu has completely ignored some possible crises because there is really no need to consider them.

At the same time, she found that she could not be completely indifferent, such as ignoring the life and death of those refugees.

As human beings, people can die for their mission like those soldiers, but Tian Yu cannot accept the trampling of other people's lives happening in front of her. This is not in line with the morality in her heart.

"There are too many truths in this world. I can try my best to choose the actions that I can do with a clear conscience."

Tian Yu turned and walked towards Haksu. After witnessing too many refugees sacrificed, she decided to complete her mission.
