The tower's area is expanding, gradually coinciding with the outer edge of the circle.

Well, now I have no choice but to go in.

Outside the circle, the sun shone brightly, but inside the tower, there was not a ray of light.

In the absolute darkness, no one made a sound; it was so quiet that you could hear everyone breathing.

System: Ahem, congratulations to all the contestants for finally making it this far after overcoming countless hardships.

Next, you will be separated to face new challenges, so please move forward bravely!

Oops!

As soon as the familiar system voice sounded, Shi Qi immediately reacted and emptied the contents of her backpack, placing them between the three members of the team.

Before he could even make the assignment, he felt a buzzing in his head and lost consciousness.

After regaining consciousness, Gu Shijiu found herself in a private residence.

The room is in a residential building in the community, and the decoration style is that of a modern dwelling.

The wallpaper was originally a warm yellow, but it was covered in dust and damage, with some dried dark red patches in certain areas.

It looks like blood.

The room is not large, but it has a living room, bathroom, bedroom and kitchen.

The small living room contained a dilapidated single fabric sofa, next to a square dining table.

The wardrobe in the bedroom is made of natural wood and looks like the same style as the writing desk.

It was probably a rental property before.

Gu Shijiu secretly guessed what was going on in her mind and gave herself a thumbs up.

She's definitely much smarter than before.

The only discordant element in the room was that the windows were blocked by heavy curtains, which clashed with the rest of the decor and looked like they had been installed later.

Gu Shijiu tried to draw back the curtains to see the outside world.

But since the curtains are fixed in place, it's not impossible to pull them down, but there's no need for that.

Gu Shijiu went to the kitchen again and found only some flour.

When I woke up, there were several bottles of water, some chocolates, and two pieces of bread beside me.

She didn't know it was because these things were closest to her after Shi Qi emptied them from her backpack.

Fortunately, Shi Qi reacted quickly, otherwise she would have had to come in empty-handed.

The weapons and medicines have all disappeared.

What a huge loss! Shi Qi still had grenades left to use.

Gu Shijiu found a worn-out backpack in the room and packed the food and flour into it.

She had to carry the bag with her at all times, for fear of going hungry.

What should I do next? Gu Shijiu sat on the dirty sofa, resting her chin on her hand, lost in thought.

Why don't we go out and take a look?

Gu Shijiu had just opened the door and hadn't even gone downstairs when she heard a neighbor talking to her.

"Are you crazy? Don't you want to die? If you want to die, don't drag the whole building down with you!"

Gu Shijiu was a little confused. How could going out of the door kill everyone in the building? What kind of amazing thing was outside?

Seeing that she was still in a daze, the neighbor continued to scold her: "Go back now!"

Gu Shijiu decided to listen to the locals first.

But it seems a bit too late.

A series of flapping wings and squeaking sounds came from not far away.

The neighbor quickly closed the door and ignored her.

Gu Shijiu retreated to her room, closed the door, and peeked outside through a corner of the curtain.

It turned out to be that group of giant mutated bats again.

What's going on? It's like a ghost that just won't leave.

Gu Shijiu quickly covered the curtains, but it was too late.

Countless bats crashed against the window, emitting a burnt smell.

It turned out that there were security bars installed on the outside of the window, and the security bars were wrapped with electric fence.

When a bat crashes into it, its bones are burned and it emits a hoarse, mournful cry.

This is clearly not an ordinary power grid.

The sound of glass being banged against continued for a long time before gradually quieting down.

Unable to leave the house, Gu Shijiu could only search the room thoroughly.

She actually found some clues.

Global warming is very serious in this world, and glaciers in Antarctica and the Arctic are constantly shrinking.

Finally, one day, after the Kitagawa River melted somewhere in the Arctic, some strange viruses and bacteria were released.

There is a type of virus that has little effect on humans and other animals, and can only survive in bats.

Thus, bats, which already carry multiple viruses all over their bodies, now carry another one.

Soon, the virus mutated, and the bats began to change.

They grew larger, became more ferocious, and were keen on hunting humans.

In the long struggle against mutated bats, humans also began to evolve.

It has been discovered that people who have been bitten by bats but have not died may be able to develop supernatural abilities.

These bats have a substance called a crystal nucleus left in their brains, which can also induce supernatural abilities.

This prompted humans to become more active, which they viewed as an evolution at the level of life.

Catching bats has become a dangerous yet exciting activity, with everyone coveting the crystal nuclei inside their brains.

Countless people have used crystal cores to unleash their own unique abilities.

However, many years later, those humans who had acquired superpowers discovered that they had lost their ability to reproduce.

Furthermore, after death, a superhuman who has used a crystal core will have a crystal core appear in their brain.

This drove the superhumans mad; they started killing each other for each other's crystal cores.

Meanwhile, an alliance of superhumans established a base, bringing together ordinary men and women to have children.

Otherwise, the human population will dwindle and eventually become extinct.

Life at the base is becoming more and more stable, and the area is constantly expanding.

The number of mutated bats outside has gradually decreased due to capture by superhumans.

After round after round of infighting, the number of people with superpowers is also decreasing.

Obtaining crystal nuclei is becoming increasingly difficult.

The way to cultivate in this world is to absorb energy from crystal cores, so current superhumans are unable to improve their strength.

Once the body's energy is depleted, one will eventually become an ordinary person.

Those who have enjoyed rights and privileges are not willing to become just ordinary people; they want to find a way to maintain their power.

At this time, ordinary people are almost returning to a peaceful life.

The city has been restarted, and life is returning to normal...

Unbeknownst to them, the superhumans were secretly using mutated bats to create a virus.

Underground laboratories have appeared in many areas.

The superpowered individuals hope to artificially recreate the original virus or crystal core in order to continue their cultivation.

Surprisingly, they actually succeeded.

After all, there are quite a few scientists here who possess psychic abilities.

However, after the virus was created, it was not used to generate crystal nuclei as scientists had originally envisioned.

This virus is more virulent, and the mutant bats it spawns are even more powerful.

However, these bats do not have crystal nuclei inside their bodies.

The virus is constantly mutating, and its direction cannot be controlled by humans at all.

There was also a disagreement among the superhumans, with some believing that all the bats should be destroyed to avoid causing a greater disaster;

Some people, however, think that they should be released into the wild, so that crystal nuclei can form on their own in nature.

One day, a bat secretly flew out of the laboratory.

The disaster of that year has returned...

This time, the bats were even more formidable, and humans were completely powerless to fight back.

Currently, a small number of humans are concentrated in underground fortresses, and the government has decided to abandon the planet.

Preserve the flame of humanity and search for a habitable space in outer space.

Those who failed to enter the fortress were simply waiting to die.
