The End of the Earth

"We've been walking for almost two hours and we're still not there. Where are we going?"

Ansevi complained, kicking a piece of gravel off the road.

"According to this direction, the nearest one should be the abandoned city of Colin, more than ten kilometers away, a small city from the old times."

Chris and his friends were more familiar with the situation nearby, and they had also searched the small town of Colin before.

"Listen, is there some sound?"

Xiang San reacted quickly and fractalized a second magic armor to put on Chris. He then carried one each to Ansevi and Jarris and took them to the wall of the passage and turned off their searchlights.

The two magic armors formed a layer of isolating black crystal wall to protect the two people behind them.

Relying on the dark tone of the black crystal magic armor, it is hidden deep in the surrounding environment.

At this moment, a strong light came from the front of them.

The roar of sharp weapons, accompanied by the sound of heavy footsteps, was getting closer and closer.

Xiang San carefully activated the temperature control ability of the magic armor to reduce heat dissipation.

coming!

They were on high alert and dared not relax, ready to strike first if there was a possibility of an exchange of fire.

The dense footsteps were getting closer and closer. If the oversized searchlight shone on the camouflage wall formed by black crystals, it might be exposed.

Xiang San realized this and began to change the structure of the black crystal camouflage wall to reduce the crystal's reflection of light sources.

After getting closer, they finally saw the true faces of this group of people.

An armed formation of about thirty people accompanied them, all wearing standard light exoskeleton equipment, protecting a giant vehicle in the middle carrying a conical drill as it slowly moved forward.

“Is this a tunnel boring machine?”

Xiang San had seen this kind of equipment before. It was considered the pinnacle of industry in the old era, but the one in front of him was too big.

As the vanguard moved away from their hiding place, they realized that the more than 30 soldiers just now were just appetizers.

Nearly three hundred armed men wearing heavy armor passed by one after another.

It seems that the thirty lightly equipped soldiers were just the vanguard. This modified tunnel boring machine with multiple functions was probably nearly 180 meters long.

It took at least an hour for this huge team to completely disappear from sight and the roar of the shield machine could no longer be heard.

"Huh~ Who are they? And is that giant used to dig this cave?"

Jarris' right eyelid kept twitching, obviously he was scared by this lineup.

Xiang San thought for a moment and decided to let Chris and Jarris go back first.

"go back?"

"Let's go back, things are beyond our expectations, and too many people will easily expose us.

You go back and tell Boris about this, and then retreat to the base with his team.

These people were well-trained and had extraordinary weapons and equipment. The team of several hundred people did not chat at all along the way. Such a disciplined and well-organized team is really rare and is not a mob.

The rappelling rope in the police station's dungeon is more than ten meters above the ground in this passage. Bring the rock climbing equipment in your backpacks. With your physical strength, it should be easy."

Chris and the other man took the exoskeleton climbing device, gave Ansevi a few words of advice, and then left quickly.

Answei waved in the direction they left, looking a little lonely.

"What? Is Ms. Answei scared?"

"Dad, I'm scared."

Xiang San couldn't believe that she was actually scared, and was speechless for a moment.

"Those people were just passing by, but they gave me such a terrifying feeling, so terrifying..."

Seeing Answei lying motionless like a frightened wild cat with her eyelids trembling, Xiang San was a little at a loss for a moment.

"An An, the fear you feel is something only people who have been killing for years can experience. Ordinary people can't feel it.

Perhaps it's because of that guy inside you that you can sense the murderous aura emanating from those people."

Answei threw herself into Xiang San's arms. The black crystal magic armor that had originally made her feel a little resistant seemed to make her feel more secure at this moment.

"But wasn't Dad a killer? Why can't I sense the murderous aura from you?"

Noticing that Answei was less afraid, Xiang San continued to chat with her and rubbed her hair comfortingly.

"Silly children, how could Dad be murderous towards you?

Besides, my dad used to be engaged in high-precision assassination, which is different from ordinary mercenaries. His appearance fee is very expensive.

Those people just now should have been professional soldiers in the old days."

Answei listened attentively to Xiang San's story and was obviously very interested in his past.

"This knowledge... doesn't seem to be in the computer database."

"That's right, you can only learn superficial knowledge by reading materials. Every era changes very quickly, and some things can only be experienced by yourself.

Just like those murderous guys who just walked past, Dad can beat them down one by one, but when it comes to understanding the world, I'm afraid I'm not as knowledgeable as them."

Answei seemed to understand and loosened her arms around Xiang San.

“I seem to understand, but I also seem not to understand…”

"It's remarkable that she only knows a little. My daughter is just so talented, haha."

Let's go, let's keep going. I want to see where these people come from."

"As you command! Commander Dad!"

Answei nodded seriously, turned on the searchlight on her shoulder and followed Xiang San's steps.

What Xiang Sanxiang described to his daughter was the most realistic state of the world.

The entire world is a huge ecological chain, and every creature has a corresponding predator, from large populations to small individuals.

No matter what beliefs or ideas you uphold, or what rules you follow, this huge ecological chain will let you know that any individual or race is just a link in it.

The law of the jungle

Even if an individual lives in a greenhouse, he or she will eventually have to face the cruelty of this huge ecological environment.

What the white flash event changes is nothing more than the Earth's racial map and terrain as well as various newly emerging rules.

The laws of the ecosystem will not change, but will only become more cruel due to the emergence of complex species.

The bloody competition between creatures will become more crazy, and the advantages brought by technology that humans rely on are nothing more than +1+2 in quantity.

Xiang San, who possesses the power of a demon, never thinks that he has no natural enemies on this planet. Early demons could even be completely removed from their bodies by the New World Company.

Falls-Kahn, who appears later, can also suppress his power with an inhibitor specifically designed to deal with demon cells.

There is also that strange bracelet of unknown origin, which has a weird name of "Demon Shackles", which seems to be specially used to deal with demon cells.

To face this unknown new era, we must take the initiative to approach it and understand it...
