《Emperor Of The End of Times》 Chapter 1: Broken off engagement? whatever you are not worthy! January 11 2019, Beijing, inside a small elegant restaurant, a young man in his twenties was sitting in the innermost side beside a window gazing absentmindedly outside, the youth had medium sized length ink black hair that slightly covered his eyes, his face was refined and delicate but his attire was considered to be ordinary incompatible with his temperament. Inside the buzzing restaurant the young man was out of place, he was silently seated ignoring his surroundings, all of sudden his eyes became sharp and a cold breath emanated from his body affecting the atmosphere around him, some clients even felt a cold chill which was inconsistent of a place that was filled with people. ¡°I still can¡¯t believe it, 20 years ¡­20years in that hell, was that only a nightmare?¡± The youth appeared to be dumbfounded, his name was Ju Long ,23 years old, freshly graduated from the university of science in the capital. ¡°no, it wasn¡¯t a dream, this place ¡­I remember¡­ ¡° Ju long smirked evilly, it sounds absurd but Ju Long is not really the same Ju Long from a few hours ago , to be precise he became his self from 20 years in the future , to be exact it should be called rebirth, at first he was stunned thinking that it was just a long nightmare but then he found that he could remember and predict what would happen a few moments in the future which confirmed his suspicions , he really came back from the future. ¡°if I remember correctly my so-called lovely fianc¨¦ will come after a few moments ¡° Ju long smiled disdainfully seemingly remembering some unpleasant memories of the past. ¡°well five days before the apocalypse, not too long but not too short, I can prepare carefully but before that let me correct some mistakes¡± Gazing outside a silhouette slowly walked toward the restaurant, this was a beautiful young woman, wearing an elegant blue robe with white high heels and a small white bag in her hand, long black hair, quite the refined features, white flawless skin and charming eyes, she entered the restaurant looking around for a moment attracting the look of many male customers before finally taking the seat in front of Ju long. Looking at the woman in front of him Ju long was indifferent, in the past maybe he will be filled with joy and love at her sight but now he only feels one thing, complete disregard and disgust. Like him the woman faintly looked at him, but she was somewhat feeling strange at the attitude he showed, she vaguely felt wrong, like he was not the same man but another person, this man when he saw her was like a happy dog seeing his owner, doing everything to please her, but today he just looked at her without the slightest emotion which made her somewhat surprised but she quickly regained her usual self . ¡°Ju long did you wait for a long time?¡± ¡°no¡± Ju long flatly replied cold tone, he suddenly felt ridiculous, why would he like a woman like her, behind the beautiful curtain was an ugly scenery and a whole ocean of hypocrisy. This woman was named Su wei she is his girlfriend , their relationship began in the first year of college , for four years they were together and finally she became his fianc¨¦ hoping to get married , but what he didn¡¯t think was that the supposed pure and lovely girlfriend was cheating on him for three whole years , he remembered that in the past till today he never knew what was going on , but listening to what she said to him some things took shape and he finally noticed that for a long time he was like a stupid and dumb man wearing a green hat , but that is not what made him feel pain what made him more miserable at that time was that the object of cheating was his good brother that was living for four years in the same college dormitory room Xu fei. Thinking back he was just foolish at that time thinking that Su wei loved him and that his brother was sincerely rooting for their relationship , some blatant indices were there but he was blinded , if he was a little more mature and thought with his head instead of following his heart blindly he would not have wasted so much time on this kind of woman, but well today he is not the same what he experienced was by far more painful and horrible that some simple betrayal between men and women, so looking at her now he just felt that his young self was somewhat worthless. Su wei was again surprised by his cold tone. ¡°what¡¯s wrong with you today? why are you so cold?¡± ¡°didn¡¯t you want to say something to me? ¡° ¡°I¡­that¡¯s right but before that lets eat something¡± Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. Su wei was confused. <> Su Wei was thinking frantically. ¡°no, I don¡¯t have time so let me tell you something ¡° Ju Long coldly said with a sneer. ¡°first of all, I want to say that I¡¯m really blind¡± ¡°what do you mean?¡± ¡°I mean that I¡¯m really blind to have felt some love for you all along these four years ¡° ¡°you!... why are you saying these things?!¡± ¡°oh, common I believe you already noticed, drop the act, you really are something you and that piece of shit of good brother¡± Ju long words were without the slightest fluctuations, he was just smiling like telling some superficial things. ¡°Ju¡­Ju Long you already knew then ¡­¡± ¡°oh, blame me for being stupidly blinded by feelings, alright I can then conclude that you want to break off the engagement is that it?¡± Su wei was now completely stunned for a moment she just looked stupidly at him. ¡°when you said that you wanted your first time after the marriage, I thought what a good and pure girl you were hahaha, but for three years you were pressed under another man god knows how many times, you really are made for each other, two pieces of the same shit¡± Hearing him insulting her Su wei felt irritated and suddenly her expression became cold. ¡°that¡¯s right I never loved you, from the beginning I was aiming for Xu fei, but he had a girlfriend at that time so all I could do was find a solution to approach him little by little ,that¡¯s why I confessed to you that day ¡° Su wei viciously looked at Ju Long waiting to see his distorted expression, but what she saw was nothing but disdain and indifference, he was looking at her like looking at a dirty bug crawling on the floor, which made her feel crazy. ¡°Ju long you bastard ! who do you think you are ! looking at me like this , all you have is your face , how can you compare to Xu fei , he is handsome and rich , his father is a renowned president of a large company , he has looks , money and background , how can a worm at the bottom of the society like you compare to him , did you know every time you were giving me a gift for my birthday , that same night I was lingering with him in the bed , you never touched me you are a looser !¡± The commotion and loud voice of Su wei attracted the attention of the people in the restaurant, some people that were fascinated by her beauty at first now showed disgust, some others showed disdain, others showed pity. Ju long finally saw how ugly she was , the previous situation was that she coldly said to him to break the engagement and left leaving him crying and confused , he came to know what happened after few days when he saw her and Xu Fei shopping and cuddling together on the street , that day was the saddest and most painful day for him, but now looking at her pathetic behaviour he suddenly felt lucky that he never touched her or even married her , she was like a time bomb. Looking at her without expression he sighted. ¡°company? background? money? Xu fei? you? it doesn¡¯t matter anymore ¡­ you want to break of the engagement? you are not worthy!! ¡­ let me tell you from today you are irrelevant to me, and you will have nothing to do with me in the future, that is if you are still alive hehe¡­¡± Su wei froze, the look he had now changed it was a mixture between pity and sympathy, this look she didn¡¯t understand but an ominous feeling crept all over her body like something horrible is likely to happen. When she wanted to say something Ju long was already at the door of the restaurant leaving, only his back was little by little disappearing, Su wei felt like something important and precious was just disregarded by her, she was feeling uncomfortable, looking at the people around her she felt shame and quickly left unable to lift her head, the elegance and refined atmosphere in the beginning was completely lost. When she left the restaurant, Ju long already disappeared in the crowded street. <> Looking at the sky her face was pale and uneasy. She didn¡¯t know, in the near future she will understand that she was not only wrong but absolutely and utterly wrong! Ju long was now renting a small house not far from the centre of the city, the rent was cheaper and the air was cleaner, entering his long-lost place, a feeling of nostalgia was instantly felt. ¡°its good to come home, if only everything will not happen ¡° Ju long felt sad and hopeful but then his character was already tempered, he heart was made of iron, he quickly shook his head and a firm expression was now on his face. ¡°no matter what all I need to do is survive and live better, I believe that with 20 years of experience I can be more confident!¡± Taking a cold shower, feeling refreshed, Ju long had a good meal before sitting on his desk and prepared to carefully plan his future. ¡°first of all, I need some weapons, rations and good equipment, my body is still too weak not the same as my peak, I also need to strengthen my physique, it¡¯s a must to better cope with dangerous situations ¡° Ju long opened his laptop and begin to browse pages on the internet, first he searched for the nearest Chinese medicine store. In the last life some talented people invented a serum that can quickly strengthen muscles and upgrade some of the body functions. This serum was nothing precious in the apocalypse, it was at the bottom of the consumables but for him now it¡¯s a treasure, this serum was made from a combination of some common herbs so he decided to strengthen his body in these five days. Following that he wanted to purchase some good cold weapons, so he searched in some black forums if there is a seller nearby, Ju long believes that there is surely because he knows that the city looks harmonious but there are many gang wars going on but the armed forces close their eyes on them, so surely their weapons are bought from somewhere. Lastly food, he decided to buy rice, compressed biscuits and other things rich in calories and sugar. ¡°Okay so let¡¯s begin then!¡± Chapter 2: The D-entity (The dormant organism) After carefully planning everything Ju long finally left his house, he needs to quickly implement each action swiftly, no way five days are too short, it¡¯s not like the story in a novel, things will not gradually deteriorate, everything will happen in instant and people will be taken by surprise, it¡¯s just that the surprise is not a good one, or should we say that it¡¯s a bloody one. ¡°first the Chinese medicine shop¡± Ju long didn¡¯t wait, he grabbed a taxi on the street and departed. The driver was a chatty middle-aged man, an overly enthusiastic one, from the moment Ju long boarded the car he didn¡¯t stop talking, at first, he ignored him but then he was beaten by his excited mood and exchanged some words. ¡°Young man I¡¯m not bragging but I have 20 years of experience in being a driver of taxi, I have almost seen all kinds of people, but I must admit that from all the youngsters that boarded my old partner you are the most unreadable¡± Ju long eyes fluctuated a bit in surprise. ¡°is that so? and why is it?¡± ¡°your expression, your behaviour even your words, it¡¯s not like a young man in his twenties, your temperament is too different, should I say that you are not an ordinary person?¡± <> Ju Long brows wrinkled and he thought inside but he quickly regained himself and smiled indifferently. ¡°you are partly right¡± <> ¡°hahaha at least my judgment is right! ¡­oh, young man we are already here¡± Without noticing the Chinese medicine shop was already in front of Ju Long, paying the fair and preparing to leave the car Ju long thought of something then turned again to the middle-aged man. ¡°old man, I appreciate you so I will give you some advice , as for your choice to believe it or not it doesn¡¯t matter to me , four days from now don¡¯t leave your house and reinforce some of the windows and the doors , buy some food at least for a few months of feeding , get some sharp weapons for security , the world will change and sadly its not in our advantage , it¡¯s all I can say , everything depends on you , goodbye ¡° Ju long left without looking back, he did what he could he is not a saviour nor a hero, he just thought that this old man was interesting and could find a way to live in the future, nothing else. The old man frowned and thought seriously before taking a last deep look at the mysterious young man before leaving. Fate is a strange thing, Ju long didn¡¯t know that his words led to some future situations where he needed the help of the old man but these things are in the future. Ju long raised his head and looked at the name of the shop, (Lin family medicine shop), the name was not something original but this was the most popular Chinese medicine shop in the city because it belonged to the Lin family, a powerful family of doctors and military. Ju long shook his head, things like families and background will not matter anymore, it just fragile bubbles. Entering the shop, it was spacious and clean, definitely not like some little shops, behind the counter was a beautiful young woman and there was also an old man with an old tunic white hair and white long beard quite refined and literal revealing the aura of ancients. ¡°excuse me I need to purchase some herbs¡± Ju long looked at the beautiful woman and said indifferently, the young woman also looked at Ju long and was somewhat surprised, majority of the clients that came at least spent some seconds looking at her before speaking , its not to boast be she is really a beautiful woman , her skin was white and flawless , her hair was meticulously arranged and her features were nearly perfect , but mostly was her temperament she was exuding purity and elegance, but all of this didn¡¯t affect Ju long in the slightest which momentarily surprised her. ¡°excuse me?¡± ¡°ah sorry what do you want sir?¡± ¡°I said I want some herbs, I have a small list here ¡° Ju long withdrew a small paper and gave it to the young woman, taking the paper she immediately professionally nodded and walked to the back of the shop. Ju long wasn¡¯t uninterested in women but he simply wasn¡¯t the young man of the past who marvelled at the sight of beauties , the horrible experiences he had made him cold and unwavering , in the apocalypse the most important trait of character wasn¡¯t kindness , intelligence or courage but calmness , calmness was fundamentally a crucial trait to stay alive so in twenty years Ju long had long been tempered and abnormally maintained a calm attitude to all things happening around him.You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story. When the young woman reappeared, she had many kinds of small packages filled with herbs, it didn¡¯t matter what was the herbs, they weren¡¯t rare or anything what mattered was their combination and processing and for now the only person who knew their use was Ju Long, the advantage of rebirth! When Ju long payed the woman and prepared to live suddenly the old man who didn¡¯t talk all this time suddenly spoke. ¡°young man, can I look at the list of herbs you have?¡± Ju long looked at the old man and nodded, he didn¡¯t worry about the old man knowing the use of the prescription, it¡¯s impossible, it is too complex. The old man seriously looked at the herbs and his brows furrowed seemingly trying to understand some things. ¡°young man what are you doing with these herbs? if it¡¯s not inconvenient to say¡± ¡°nothing, it¡¯s not important my grandfather is a fervent admirer of Chinese medicine so he wants some herbs to experiment¡± Ju long fabricated some story quickly, not to say that he had no grandfather even his father was not seen. The old man gazed at Ju long for a moment before nodding and then he resumed what he was doing indifferently, Ju long took his herbs and left without expression not bothered by this small episode. A few minutes after he left, the two people in the shop were discussing. ¡°grandfather is that prescription special?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t know, the herbs are common herbs but some of their combination are interesting, I feel that their arrangement may have some sort of effect on human body¡± ¡°but he said that his grandfather¡­¡± ¡°do you really believe him? say what do you think of him?¡± The old man cut in and didn¡¯t let the young woman complete her sentence, if Ju long was here, he wold be surprised, the old man didn¡¯t know what the prescription is for but he already concluded a little about its use which revealed the extraordinary ability he had. ¡°oh, I think he is too indifferent and too calm, like everything around him was controlled, he is too steady and his character is incompatible with his age¡± ¡°haha! that¡¯s my beautiful granddaughter, indeed this young man is not ordinary I felt some murderous breath on him leaking, and although a big beauty was in front of him, he never flinched even the rhythm of his heart didn¡¯t fluctuate in the slightest, so his story is mostly a lie¡± ¡°grandfather!¡± ¡°haha, but seriously this young man is too strange, I feel that we will meet again in the future¡± The young woman looked at the door where Ju long left and her beautiful eyes had a strange light. No one would have thought that the young woman and the old man were the only granddaughter and the patriarch of the powerful Lin family. But these things didn¡¯t matter for Ju long who bought rations along the way and returned home, he can¡¯t wait to strengthen his body, every minute is precious now. Ju long bought 30 kilos of rice and 30 litres of mineral water, many things rich in calories and protein like chocolate eggs and smoked meat that can be preserved. After completing this task, he finally was prepared to concoct the precious strengthening liquid, the process was delicate and meticulous because the weight of each processed herb has to be identic and without a marge of error. So, after three whole hours of tiring work the liquid was finally ready, a vial containing a mix of greenish and yellowish liquid was placed in front of Ju long. ¡°finally, haha! with this I can at least say that I can have a certain sense of security in first days of the apocalypse¡± Ju long was ecstatic, he didn¡¯t need to test, he knows that the liquid was successfully made because in his memory if the subtill yellow colour appears with the green colour of the herbs juice then it¡¯s a 100% genuine strengthening liquid. Without waiting he directly drank it in one go and sat cross-legged on his bed like a meditating monk, many warriors in the apocalypse later noticed that meditation can further maximize the effect of the liquid. Ju long knows that his body needs at least one to two hours to really finalize the proceeding of reinforcing his metabolism. The moment he ingested the liquid a hot sensation coursed through all of his body, then a subtle pain was little by little felt, the pain gradually increased but Ju long clenched his teeth and tried to meditate. After 30 minutes of intense pain it finally passed, Ju long breathed a sight of relief then felt excited he knows the first step was a success, now what is just left is the continuous fortifying of the cells. In the meantime, Ju long was deeply thinking about what will happen next, first of all about the cause of the great apocalypse, it wasn¡¯t unknown, that wasn¡¯t some mad scientist experience or aliens coming to earth or anything like that in fact it was quite simple. Everything began first when the largest lake under the thick ice of Antarctica was discovered, the Lake Vostok, discovered by British scientists in 1993 with the help of an airborne ice-penetrating radar. So far there was no problem and scientists performed many surveys that confirmed that fresh water was isolated under the ice and that for a long, long time! But everything began to deteriorate when Russian scientists perfored the ice sheet and wanted to extract the fresh water hoping to find ancient kind of organisms that maybe are still living and intact. So they all along the years continued to extract cores of fresh water , the first extracted core of fresh water was obtained on 10 January 2013 , it was extracted at a depth of 3,406 m (11,175 ft), then a second sample in 2015, there was nothing to worry about , scientists indeed found many new types of entities and organisms that made them go mad and elated, it was an important discovery because these organisms are from millions of years ago and some are still living it was a miracle of nature but everything transformed into hell when the third and last sample was obtained on 15 January 2019 , this was the beginning of the never ending nightmare, a new organism was found in the 003 sample and was named the D-entity. This D entity was a kind of living organism but scientist noticed it was nothing like the previous organisms they know, its constitution was simply incomprehensible, nothing like a virus or a cell, a completely new form of life. 16 January 2019 was the first day of the apocalypse calendar, this D-entity so far dormant suddenly awakened in a laboratory of Russia in Moscow, and then ¡­ Then the pandora box was opened. Chapter 3: Acquaintances The D entity was in an inactive state but at 10 a.m. the only test tube containing it suddenly burst , no one knows how it burst some says that this particular organism emits a type of high frequency , the oscillations then making the fragile glass crack , some says that it multiplied so quickly that the test tube could not stand the pressure but one thing was clear when it got outside and first contacted the air , that was the advent of new era and sadly the beginning of the biggest nightmare the billions of humans peopling the earth ever experienced. Continuing to recall his long and arduous experience Ju long felt bitter, everything was so clear, the struggles the fights, the injuries, scars of the body and mind, it was unforgettable. During those twenty years he suffered so much but it reshaped him into a strong human being, and now the same man with the iron heart and body returned to the eve of the end, this is a big chance. Ju long remembered what will happen four days from now , the D entity was a special organism , it didn¡¯t fear anything , be it heat , coldness , water or even fire , it rapidly propagated and absorbed everything it could absorb to multiply in the span of a single hour , it had already filled 100% of the ambient air all around the planet, every single living thing couldn¡¯t escape inhaling and absorbing some of it. Plants, animals, insects and humans changed radically. And then horrible things came to light, plants were the only things that didn¡¯t change too much at least in behaviour, the forests became more lush, new species came to life and some deserted zones almost instantly recovered. But other things completely transformed, animals and insects were the least affected, 20 % failed to assimilate the organism completely and changed into abhorrent and monstrous things, the other 80% evolved and changed drastically, from new species to sizes and features everything was not the same. Lastly humans, the humans were the most harmfully affected , more that 25% of the population meaning approximatively 2 billion failed the assimilation , what happened then was a calvary , they changed into non-human creatures that attacked every living thing they could see in front of them , they behaved like zombies but they were not exactly zombies , their cellular tissues didn¡¯t deteriorate , their heart and brain were intact , they became a new type of life , a sort of degenerate life. Scientists in the future named them sub humans, a completely detached new species of humans, with time these sub humans didn¡¯t only act on instinct, first what was noticed was that part of the brain was momentarily shut down, some thought that the affected subjects could return to normal, but what was incomprehensible was that in fact they were no different from dead. For example, lets name a normal human, subject A, subject A before being affected was a normal human being, being contaminated by the D entity and failing to assimilate it meaning having a weak immunity, subject A became an infected subject, in that same moment everything that constituted subject A was erased meaning he was literally dead, then subject A now became another form of life (subject B). A new form of consciousness emerged and controlled the body that was still functioning , what was the most terrible was that in the infant phase, the sub humans were no different from zombies, blindly attacking people without thinking like starving beasts, but gradually, they became more and more aware, more intelligent, by the fifth year of the apocalypse they developed their brain completely and were almost at the same level as humans , what was even more dreadful was that they have the ability to breed and therefore multiplying, the only thing reassuring is that the evolved animals were powerful and were in constant conflict with sub humans decreasing their level of danger , quite ironic isn¡¯t it, the same animals that were pushed to extinction by us are now similar to an ally. A sub-human trait is a different colour of skin and a totally hairless body (example alopecia Universalis for further understanding), variating from yellow to purple, these colours also symbolized their level of evolution and power, in the infant phase all of them had pale grey skin. The earth then became a paradise of new dangerous species but still humans didn¡¯t loose all hope because humans found after two years of studies and research that they could also evolve. Indeed, animals successfully assimilating the D entity evolved into more powerful creatures, there was no reason for humans to not evolve seeing that more than 75% didn¡¯t directly die and survived when the D entity first swept the world. So, it was found that a certain substance found in sub humans and evolved creatures could make humans break their limits, this substance was named ¡°Barrisium¡±, the substance was named after the scientist who first discovered its existence, doctor Morris Barr. This substance turns out to have an effect on the cells of the body at a genetical level transforming the body making more agile, stronger and more durable. Everything from reaction to perception and even intelligence, almost all are optimized and further raised, super humans were not just a dream anymore but even evolution isn¡¯t invulnerable, everything is fair from creation, to become an evolver wasn¡¯t a problem from people but even evolution was classified into five numbers and six letters. 0 order humans are people who didn¡¯t evolve yet, then there is respectively. First order evolver, Second order evolver, Third order evolver, Fourth order and fifth order evolvers. From one to five everything related to physical ability is raised to astonishing levels that humans could not even fathom being able to arrive at. Then more horrible are the evolvers classified by letters, from the letter E to S. The watershed between numbers and letters is a qualitative leap, if numbers are related to physical ability then letters are a completely different kind of existence, from then on, the evolvers will condense Barrisium inside their body and thanks to that their powers will become unfathomable, evolvers able to condense Barrisium inside their body can emit energy out of their body and thus transcending physical strength. Things like fire, water, earth, wind, electricity and other peculiar abilities will begin to appear. But not all people are capable of breaking through the watershed, majority of evolvers will stay at the fifth order all their life. Only a few are capable of breaking into this Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator. In the last year before his death Ju long heard rumours from some high-ranking people, he heard that there is another level after the S class evolver that is the X class but unfortunately an X class evolver never appeared in his memory before his death. ¡°well 2 hours passed, the strengthening liquid was successfully absorbed!¡± After 2 hours of painstaking mediation Ju long finally woke up, clenching his fist full of strength, a satisfied smile hangs on his face, then lowering his head he noticed that he was drenched in sweat, the smell made him uncomfortable so he immediately entered the bathroom to take a shower. ¡°so, refreshing I never thought that I could feel this again and what is even more amazing is that it is before the disaster huh ¡° Ju long left the bathroom, water droplets were still escaping from his hair, his upper body was bare, if some women could see Ju long, they would pounce on him like hyenas, his body now was not the same compared to a few hours ago. The strengthening liquid helped him excrete the impurities in the form of sweat and tempered his muscles, making him more stream lined, every piece of muscle on his body emitted pure strength and beauty, Ju Long was still thin, he was 1,80 m tall and weighted more than 80 kg, but his body appeared perfectly coordinated and balanced. ¡°now I can infer that my fist can even ko people like Tyson? tomorrow I will go test my strength in the gym and by the way buy the weapons I need¡± Ju long smirked and then decided to train a little to better adapt to his body before going to bed to rest. ------------------------------------------- And like that one day already passed, Ju long was now leaving from the gym leaving a few people with an incredulous expression, this morning he went directly to the gym, he knew this particular popular gym that have some facilities for testing strength agility and endurance. First his fist strength reached an astonishing number of 800 hundred kilograms of strength ,200 kilos more than the champion Tyson. His kicking strength reached more than 1400 kilograms of power almost the double of his fist strength but Ju long knows this is the limit of a normal human being he can¡¯t go further but even so he was excited because at least for the first phase of the apocalypse he has more confidence to protect himself. Testing his speed and endurance he could run 17 meters per second for five minutes wish is never heard of, everyone knows that Usain bolt the fastest man can only run about 12 meters per second but he can¡¯t maintain that speed for five complete minutes, so what Ju long has done in this gym is breaking every physical record existing as of now. People are still had their mouth open till the back of Ju long disappeared seemingly not believing what happened. Leaving the gym , Ju long headed to the angel and demon bar , this bar Ju long had never gone to , from his search on the black forums on the internet he found that , this bar was a cover , in fact the boss was renowned weapons seller , his name was old iron , this was a middle aged man that seemed inconspicuous but in fact he was a celebrity in the underground , everyone knows that beside the white business and black business there is also another area that is neutral , the grey area and this old iron was one of the most known in the grey business, he didn¡¯t care who bought his weapons too , he only had one principle , ¡°the weapons living my shop are not my weapons anymore¡± Entering the bar, Ju long felt uncomfortable, the noisy atmosphere and the depravity was not to his liking, he was a loner in the apocalypse, he was accustomed to silence and calmness, this was what the end of the world forged his character into. Looking around and scanning the surrounding he spotted a small entrance guarded by two burly thugs, then he directly walked toward them. ¡°where are you going this is not where you should wander!¡± One of two burly thugs fiercely exclaimed. ¡°I¡¯m the one who placed an order¡± Ju long calmly spoke. The two thugs exchanged looks then one of them nodded and disappeared inside, but at the same moment a familiar voice resounded behind him. ¡°hey isn¡¯t that my bro Long ge what are you doing here¡± Turning around, Ju long saw six people walking toward him, two of them were extremely familiar one was his ex-fianc¨¦e Su wei and the other was his so-called best buddy and brother Xu Fei, the remaining four were some of his classmates in college but he can¡¯t recall clearly after all it was far in the past. Xu fei was holding Su wei intimately by the waist and smirking at him. Su wei looked at Ju long and felt embarrassed, after all what happened inside the restaurant was still vivid in her mind so she was dodging his eyes but she didn¡¯t leave from Xu fei hands. Ju long wasn¡¯t affected by them he just felt ridiculous at what they were playing at. ¡°why aren¡¯t you greeting your brother?¡± ¡°oh brother? are you sure you are worthy?¡± The handsome face of Xu fei twitched a little but he didn¡¯t stop smiling. ¡°are you blaming me for taking your girlfriend brother?¡± Hearing his words Ju long gaze became cold, not because of his satirizing words but because this clown was wasting his time. ¡°okay stop your pathetic act, an ugly hypocrite and a snobbish woman, you are made for each other I sincerely congratulate you but now I have no time for your shitty play so get out of my sight¡± Sweeping these people with his eyes slowly Ju long said. Xu fei was surprised , in the past Ju long wasn¡¯t like this , he was the sort of person who was always shy and spoke lightly but now he was like another person , his eyes radiated coldness and his posture was upright and stalwart, but after the surprise he became enraged , who is he , he is the son of a powerful man and a rich second generation , in the past he played the brother of Ju long but behind his back he was despising him. ¡°Ju long if you kneel down and apologise to me and Su wei I will let you go otherwise I will let you feel painful for a while¡± Xu fei evilly said glaring at Julong. ¡°oh, just with you? I repeat get out of my sight this is the last time I say this ¡° ¡°who the fuck do you think you are, you are just a weakling, a fucking pussy!¡± Swearing Xu fei clenched his fist and raised his hand and wanted to punch, but his fist just reached the face of Ju long but it stopped abruptly, a thin and white slender hand was pinching the throat of Xu fei, after that his body left the ground and was heavily pressed on the wall of the bar.¡± ¡°cough ¡­you!¡± Xu fei eyes were wide open and he had difficulty breathing, his back was hurting from the impact of the wall. Su wei and the others were stunned, in the span of a few seconds they just saw Ju long lightly pinch the throat of Xu fei and raising him like a chicken before pressing him on the wall, the actions were simple and without difficulty just like doing something normal. Especially Su wei she was dumbfounded, she never knew that Ju long was so strong. ¡°I said disappear why don¡¯t you kindly get the shit out of here, you are just a bug, do you think I¡¯m sad or I¡¯m miserable because of the two of you? what can two ants like you do? ridiculous ¡­¡± A murderous breath instantly emanated from the body of Ju long and shrouded Xu fei, at this moment Xu fei felt like he was facing a bloodthirsty monster from hell. A stench was smelled and Ju long frowned then he released Xu fei letting him sliding along the wall like a frightened dog, he just peed in his pants from fear. ¡°hey the boss is waiting for you¡­is there a problem?¡± The thug that was inside returned and was surprised by the sight. ¡°no lead the way¡± Without even looking at Xu fei and the others he disappeared in the narrow corridor. Looking at his back Su wei regained herself. <> Chapter 4: Welcome to the end again The little episode in the bar didn¡¯t weight on the mind of Ju long what he is now thinking of is the weapons he is need of. Walking in the long corridor there was a staircase that led to a sort of basement , no one would have thought that a small bar had such a huge basement , following the brawny man Ju long now with the lights on noticed that there was many machines and some workers , this was undoubtedly made to build the weapons , and he even saw that its not as simple as cold weapons, there was also many hot weapons like revolvers , automatic rifles and even sniper rifles. Then the two finally entered another spacious room, inside the room was a large desk, on the walls, many types of cold and hot weapons were hanging, daggers, swords, sabers, rifles, composite bows ¡­ an endless collection but what attracted Ju Long gaze was two gold desert eagles majestically hanging in the middle of the wall. Ju long can¡¯t understand how can this huge number of weapons appear in a country that bans the carrying of arms, its simply incomprehensible but then he understood most likely the background and coming of the old iron isn¡¯t that simple maybe he even is employed by the government agencies. ¡°Hahaha are you fascinated by my two gold babies ¡° A hearty voice made its way inside the room and a slightly fat middle-aged man appeared, wearing a branded black sports uniform and a thick gold necklace on his neck, his sly eyes looked at Ju long, it was like the eyes of a snake, his gaze is the type that makes people uncomfortable. ¡°you are presumably the famous old iron¡± ¡°Bingo! So, youngster I don¡¯t like wasting time, you placed an order and here you are, so what are the weapons you need, as you see I have everything you can think of¡± The old iron slowly walked to his desk and sat on his chair made of precious leather while placing a leg on the other. ¡°right, I want two tactical hunting military daggers made of special alloy, a custom Tang sword and two guns¡± ¡°Wo wo wo youngster I mean cold weapons doesn¡¯t matter but what are you going to do with guns?¡± ¡°none of your business?¡± ¡°how dare you talk like that to the boss!¡± The thug that stood beside was enraged but the old iron made a sign with his hand making him shut up immediately then his eyes narrowed and coldly gazed at Ju long who was equally staring coldly at him, a murderous aura instantly locked the old iron making him stunned, he became flustered dodging the gaze of Ju long. ¡°your weapons will be ready, the two tactical military daggers I have in stock, the custom tang sword will be made now just give me one hour and tell me your requirements, as for the two guns what type do you want?¡± The thug was dumbfounded, just now he was not stupid he noticed that the boss he always respected was scared, yes, the famous boss that sold various types of destructive weapons was scared which made him feel cold sweat sliding down his back, immediately seeing the smirking young man he retreated unconsciously. ¡°first the Tang sword, I want a full Tang sword type, made from Titanium and tungsten alloy, the length of the blade would be 76 cm, a handle length of 26 cm, a blade width of 4 cm, a weight of 8 kg, fully sharpened with a scabbard, for the guns I want two Berettas 96 combat combo ¡° The old iron was further stunned , the requirements were too precise , majority of his clients that bought custom made cold weapons just talked about the material but like Ju long this was the first time but he only nodded seriously and disappeared inside another room , for custom weapons , the old iron forged them himself , as for the money he never talked about it , it¡¯s a joke , how can a man that has the same smell as him , no more horrible than him play him that¡¯s not in their character so he never said the word money he was confident that the man could afford it. In fact every acquaintance of Ju long didn¡¯t know but he wasn¡¯t poor , in fact on the contrary he was rich , his personal balance had at least 30 million , after the death of his mother and the disappearance of his father their money was left for him , but in the past he never wanted to use the money , he felt that it was the only thing left that is related to them. After more than an hour of waiting, the old iron wearing a protective suit and glasses appeared carefully holding a long sword. The blade was silver dark in colour and felt incomparably sharp, the handle was made of special material engraved with a fierce dragon, this was another requirement of Ju long, he had the word dragon in his name and he felt that his sword needed a connection with himself. ¡°finally, the sword is completed, I must say that you have a good luck, this is by far the best creation I made all along the years I have created weapons¡± The old iron spit these words while reluctantly handing the sword to Ju long, taking the sword, it didn¡¯t feel heavy despite the 8 kg of weight but for the strengthened Ju long it was nothing, in fact his combat ability had nothing to do with heavy strikes, he was inclined to speed and accuracy.If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. ¡°thank you, then let¡¯s complete the business, how much money?¡± ¡°let¡¯s see two special alloy hunting military daggers, 6,540 yuan, two Berretas 96, 15,450 yuan as for the Tang sword considering the rarity of materials and the quality, 900,000 yuan, a total of 921990 yuan¡± ¡°ok then I will send you the money¡± After completing the transaction, the sword was placed inside its scabbard made of delicate and precious wood, all the items were put in a special bag to not attract attention. ¡°well then I will take my leave ¡° For a long time after Ju long left the old iron was still looking dazed. ¡°boss what kind of man is he?¡± Being awakened by his subordinate question the old iron face was full of awkwardness. ¡°you know that before returning to china I was an arms dealer in central Africa, so I have seen many types of dangerous people , I should say that I count as one of those dangerous people , but there is some existences that are more horrible and dreadful , Africa and the middle east have a reputation of attracting all kinds of mercenaries and retired soldiers , these god forsaken war torn zones were a paradise for some people , for me it was a heaven because my arms were sold and money was like rain , for some others the battles and wars were more attractive , so one time in the past I have witnessed such a war and I have seen a man , he was like a beast , killing people like ants , a complete slaughter , he was a mercenary king ¡­¡± The old iron trembled recalling what he saw in that year but then he continued. ¡°some people who killed an important number of people will have a special temperament and a bloody breath, at that time being gazed by that man was like being in front of demon but ¡­ the aura and breath this young man emitted is a thousand no ten thousand times more horrible than that mercenary king!¡± Hearing the old iron, the brawny full of muscles and sturdy atmosphere was shuddering, that kind of being was just standing beside him and he even was at a hair of offending him, thinking about it he just narrowly escaped death. Ju long who was going back home satisfied wouldn¡¯t think that the old iron confused him with mercenaries, if he knew he would have sneered, what mercenaries? what mercenary kings, it was just child play for him, the people and creatures he has killed in those twenty years he can¡¯t even remember, thousands or maybe tens of thousands? he forgot. ¡°now everything is ready, in these remining three day I will just continue to adapt to my strength and calm myself, all that is left is to wait ¡° Before going home Ju long bought a Geiger counter, now why did he buy this sort of gadget? would you think that he was exposed to radioactivity, that¡¯s half right and half false. In the future, people who evolved were classified so how can they know their level of power, there must be a way to precisely test their strength. Half a year after the discovery of the Barrisium substance, the researchers noticed that people and creatures who evolved were exposed to radiations, but these radiations contrary to normal weren¡¯t harmful in any way, it was the opposite this was the unique trait of evolvers, the more the radiations were detected the more powerful meant they were so gradually the amount of power was proportional to the amount of radiations. The average person exposure is between 0.3 rem and 0.6 rem (roentgen equivalent man, 1 millirem = 1/1000 rem), then the Geiger counter became a tool to know the strength level of an evolution creature be it human or non-human, in the future it was further optimized and a special counter was created, but the Geiger counter was the earliest tool to test power. It was proven that the D entity emitted special radiations that changed the constitution of living things genetically. The Barrisium was also revealed to be a radioactive substance, so how can we know the level of strength of an evolver it is simple. People under 1 rem of exposure are ordinary people. Between 1 Rem and 10 Rem -- >first order evolver Between 10 Rem and 20 Rem -- >second order evolver Between 20 Rem and 40 Rem -->third order evolver Between 40 Rem and 80 Rem -->fourth order evolver Between 80 Rem and 100 Rem -->fifth order evolver Then now we have a watershed and a qualitative leap Between 1 Sv and 10 Sv -->E class evolver Between 10 Sv and 20 Sv -->D class evolver Between 20 Sv and 40 Sv -->C class evolver Between 40 Sv and 80 Sv -->B class evolver Between 80 Sv and 100 Sv -->A class evolver >100 Sv --> S class evolver (Sv meaning Sievert, 1 Sv = 100 Rem) As for the legendary X class no one knows accurately. Ju long finally got back home testing his exposure he found that it was 0.6 Rem, it is normal knowing that Beijing is a heavily polluted city so it isn¡¯t strange, and Ju long is still an ordinary human so nothing strange. Three days passed quickly, in these three days Ju long didn¡¯t live his home and trained almost all of the time, now he completely adapted to his strength and can proficiently use it, Ju long didn¡¯t forget to buy some equipment like military boots, a set of black hiking sportswear and black cloak. Today is the fateful day he woke up early and meditated a little to calm his nerves, the D entity was released at 10 a.m. the disaster officially began at 11 a.m. Ju long calmly stood up from his bed and looked outside while gazing at his watch from time to time. Tick tock¡­tick tock ¡­ tick ¡­ Suddenly screams began to be heard all around the city, painful and terrible screams that expressed the tremendous amount of pain they felt , Ju long gazed at the street , there was many people writhing in pain on the ground and some others were panicked not knowing what is happening suddenly some that were screaming moments ago stopped and stood up , there was no emotion in their eyes , their skin changed colour at unimaginable rate and their hair regressed rapidly at a visible speed then like creatures full of evil spirits they pounced on others and began to bite on them , the sight was gruesome , and quickly the chaos took place. Looking at what was happening outside for the second time, Ju long was feeling bitter but he quickly regained an ideal state of mind and stabilizing himself, immediately his eyes became sharp. ¡°Welcome to the end ¡­¡± His muttering was like the opening ceremony of the apocalypse. Chapter 5: Hell on earth A mother holding her son is running and panting heavily in the dilapidated streets of New York, just an hour ago everything was alright but then those things began to appear one after one and then it became a nightmare. The boy was scared and hiding in the only safe place the arms of his mother, the mother was frantically running feeling like every step she took was a breath away from death. Those creatures were horrible they bit every person that was around them, just remembering the tragic and miserable end of her husband she felt like crying and retching, but she didn¡¯t have this luxury, her five years old son is still with her, she could do anything for his safety. Spotting a relatively safe building she squeezed the remaining strength she had in her legs and continued to advance but then the inevitable happened. Two bald grey skinned creatures made their appearance from behind an abandoned car, the mother seeing them panicked and was full of fear but she didn¡¯t slow her steps and ran toward the building. Sadly, those creatures were not like the zombies in the movies, they were not so slow, noticing the mother and her son, a frenzied look were on their faces and they were salivating at the sight of the fresh human meat. Quickly they caught up, the mother feeling the abominable presence behind her didn¡¯t have a choice, she threw her son past the opened door of the two-story building. One of the creatures already extended its hands and pinned the mother down to the ground before biting a chunk of flesh from her neck. ¡°I¡­I hope ¡­you¡­ can be safe my son ¡­¡± With the little strength she had she firmly closed the door, a desperate smile and tears appeared on her face, the blood continued to cover the floor, the second creature arrived directly biting her calf, then a third, fourth¡­ The tragic sounds then ceased after a few moments what remained were some bloody incomplete organs and bones left here to testify about the gruesome end of the mother. ---------------------------- A young man was hiding in a hotel kitchen in brazil, just a few hours ago he was eating in the hotel restaurant with his girlfriend happily, but then everything suddenly changed. Screams, explosions, cars colliding and even planes crashing, he witnessed the birth of those terrible grey skinned creatures. Just their appearance sent shivers down his spin, even now he can¡¯t stop trembling. They were human at first but they changed rapidly into these things and immediately attacked others before feasting on them. Residual limbs can still be seen inside the restaurant, his girlfriend was now one of these creatures, he was very near to being a meal for her but he miraculously escaped and hide inside the kitchen. Then sounds of steps rang inside the deserted kitchen, there was no way it was human, if it was it won¡¯t make sounds this loud, that was just like screaming ¡°I¡¯m here you can eat me ¡°. The young man heart rate accelerated, result of his extreme fear, holding his breath he hoped that the creature could quickly leave. Clang! Without noticing, his hand touched a ladle that was laying on the floor then his expression froze. ¡°oh shit ¡­¡± ----------------------------------- In japan, America, Europe, Russia, everywhere the same experiences were again and again repeated, tragic deaths were witnessed all around the world. Burning cars were on every road and streets. Huge explosions, the result of helicopters and planes crashing into buildings. A veritable purgatory, it was hell on earth and blood flowed like a never-ending river. Inside a conference room in china. ¡°Head we lost contact with the standing committee and even lost contact with the presidency we also came to know that the incident is worldwide, the death toll is constantly increasing, the situation is incomparably serious¡± A soldier was reporting to an old man that was looking absentmindedly at the pictures in front of the screen, he was wearing a heavily decorated military uniform, his face was dignified and full of incomprehensibility. ¡°what in the world is happening?¡± ¡°head we have spotted the appearance of many weird creatures and never seen species of animals, we also noticed that an important number of people transformed into cannibal monsters and preyed on humans¡± The soldier continued to report matters. ¡°is this really the end of the world?¡± The old head eyes were full of anxiety and ignorance for the future. ------------------------------------Royal Road is the home of this novel. Visit there to read the original and support the author. Ju long continued to gaze at what was happening outside from his window he didn¡¯t open the curtains too wide because he knows that the sub-human¡¯s sensitivity is high. He wasn¡¯t in a hurry, for the time being he just waited for things to calm down, the first hours were chaotic and everyone was in a panicked state, it is very unfavourable to go out at this time. ¡°everything is the same as the first time, it¡¯s just that I¡¯m the different one ¡° In the last life, Ju long was fortunately inside his house the moment the disaster began so he was safe, but he was too scared so he stayed at home for weeks and he missed the best time to leave. This time it¡¯s completely different, with his experience and ability he is confident that he can go sideways in this terrible era and why not become one of the strongest human beings. Looking at the evil starving creatures outside, Ju long was thoughtful. Grey skinned sub humans are primitive beings they may terrorize ordinary people but in fact they are not so terrible, a person if he can muster his courage can deal with one or two. If the average strength of a human being is 1 then the strength of a grey skinned sub human amount to 1.5, what is terrible is not the strength of an individual but that they are often in a pair or more, raising the difficulty to resist them. Ju long knew that sub humans will evolve after half a year, and some yellow skinned will appear from time to time, he knew that the ability to breed will only appear after four years and finally intelligent sub human¡¯s existence is after five years. The colour of their skin indicates their levels, only green skinned sub humans have intelligence and only then the true war will begin. ¡°I must be cautious, if I can be careful about some mutated animals and hordes of sub humans, then there will be no problem to move in this city¡± Four hours already passed, Ju long took the two military daggers and attached them on his legs, his guns on his waist and his sword on his back, wearing his cloak his face was now covered. Ju long decided to first clean his building and clear hidden dangers, grey skinned sub humans are in the first stage, they have poor vision but they have acute hearing and smell. Looking from the cat¡¯s eye of his door, Ju long didn¡¯t see anything in the corridor, just some residual limbs and blood on the walls, he noticed that the door of his neighbour was destroyed, he can conclude that his poor fat otaku of a neighbour didn¡¯t have luck. ¡°this building has four floors and I¡¯m currently situated at the second floor ¡­let¡¯s begin!¡± Ju long eyes became firm, opening the door carefully he stepped out silently, the familiar stench of blood permeated in the air, Ju long just frowned but he was already accustomed so he didn¡¯t feel uncomfortable. Looking at the blackened blood on the wall, Ju long deducted that the sub humans on this floor have long left, maybe looking for other prey. Ju long decided to first go to the upper floors so he took the stairs and appeared on the third floor, same scenery, scattered intestines and bones. Advancing carefully, he suddenly heard a sound, it was weak but for the strengthened Ju Long, this sound was still clear. Following the sound, he arrived at a door, it was open and traces of impacts were seen, Ju long withdrew his sword from its scabbard and walked past the threshold. Suddenly his eyes became cold and his senses constantly warned him, a shadow leaped from another room and immediately threw itself on Ju long, a hideous mouth was open and ready to bite. Ju long wasn¡¯t slow he raised his silver dark sword and crouched slightly taking a single step, every action was made in the span of a single second. Ughhaaaa! A terrible cry of pain followed by a rain of black blood then a dull collision with the floor, the shadow appearance was now in sight. The sub human was male he was twitching on the floor, a 10 cm large wound was extending from the chest to the end of the stomach, the intestines were visible and blood continued to flow out. Ju long didn¡¯t stare too long he took his sword and pierced the head ending the life of the sub human. ¡°well I remember that this house was a family of three¡± Ju long didn¡¯t lower his vigilance and began examine the remaining rooms, the last room was the bedroom. A woman was lying on the floor eyes wide open, the pupils were dilated, the last look was full of fear, crouching beside the corpse was a little girl, no the absence of hair on the head was the proof that it wasn¡¯t a little girl anymore. Turning around, the mouth was full of red blood, some residual flesh was still on the corner, the sound of chewing was terrible in the silent room. Without further ado, Ju long eyes were cold without feelings, the sword in hand, he instantly appeared in front of the little girl and slashed horizontally, a little head flew and rolled on the floor before stopping near the wall, the white disgusting eyes were still full of greed. ¡°to think it was still a happy family yesterday, now the daughter is scooping her mother organs, what irony ¡­¡± Ju long muttered while shaking his head bitterly, with a move the black blood staining the sword was shook and formed a line on the ground. putting the sword back in its sheath, Ju long took the military dagger and pierced the headless corpse of the little sub human girl, he precisely made an incision near the spinal cord, a weird spherical organ was spotted. ¡°hey it seems I¡¯m lucky!¡± Ju long was rarely excited but now he was feeling happy. This spherical organ contained a small amount of liquid, this liquid is the Barrisium necessary to evolution, this organ was latter called the Barrisium sac. In the first phase, grey skinned sub humans having a Barrisium sac are rare, that was why Ju long felt lucky. The chances to find a Barrisium sac in grey skinned humans is 1/10, it means that Ju long needs to kill tens of sub humans to at least find one. Ju long then took from his pocked a small and durable metallic syringe, and extracted the Barrisium of the sac, about 1 ml was found. Ju long was disappointed at the little amount but he quickly shook his head, it was already good that his first attempt resulted in a success. Carefully hiding the syringe, he next did the same thing the male sub human still lying in front of main door, but this time it was doomed to fail but Ju long wasn¡¯t discouraged, satirically sub humans are not ready to disappear the city is full of them. Not waiting Ju long continued to explore the fourth floor, only one sub human was found previously an old man, he was solved easily, the sword was sharp and the head was flying. Don¡¯t look at Ju long doing this so easily, an ordinary man with an ordinary sword couldn¡¯t do it so swiftly. ¡°it seems that there are not enough prey so other sub humans left ¡­ only the first floor is remaining ¡° In fact, the building had four floors but not many houses were occupied, it was far from the city centre and cheap it wasn¡¯t favoured. But it was also the reason why Ju long was safe in the last life because this zone wasn¡¯t much populated. Ju long decided to return to his house, The Barrisium needs to be injected quickly otherwise its effect will greatly decrease. The streets were already deserted, the ground was full of blood and cars were scattered, sometimes screams still could be heard, surely some of the hidden survivors. It was already night, the darkness was more dangerous because the sight was greatly affected and the creatures didn¡¯t count on vision to hunt humans. So, the first rule was to avoid obscure places. Ju long took of his cloak and sat cross-legged on his bed, he directly took the syringe and simply aimed at his heart injecting the 1 ml of Barissium, why directly in the heart? Because the it will quickly circulate in the blood. Ju long felt some itchiness but nothing painful, taking the Geiger counter he noticed that the radiation exposure increased from 0.6 rem to 0.8 rem. Nothing will change his strength is till the same, everything will change only when he becomes a first order evolver. Only two more injections and he can successfully step into the rank of evolvers. Chapter 6: Mutated rat horde Three days have passed, under the light of the hazy full moon, on top of a shabby four story building a tall youth wearing a black cloak was standing alone in the darkness. His body was straight like a javelin, under the cloak hood, two cold eyes gazed at the now ruined world, from here he could see the tattered skyscrapers and columns of black smoke were pretty much everywhere. On the deserted streets scattered broken cars filled his vision, some black shadows were hoping here and there but it was probably not humans. What was built by mankind in a few centuries crumbled like a fragile tower of cards, in just three days the world was very much reshaped. Looking at the east of the city the youth eyes frowned, a sea of huge trees covered an extremely large surface of the suburbs, a truly dense jungle made its appearance in this short amount of time, this was the D entity effect, in the first few weeks the growth speed of the plants was multiplied by factor of ten and what¡¯s more , looking carefully at those huge trees , some differences can be spotted like colour of the leaves , it changed into dark greenish purple and the trunks were thicker and sturdier. The solitary youth standing on the rooftop was Ju long, in these three days he completely cleaned the remaining sub humans inside the building, but not a single Barrisium sac was found. The screams of despair were rarely heard, meaning that there were not many survivors anymore, mostly are hiding in the cracks of the city like pitiful bugs. After some time, people will notice that their bodies will become stronger and faster, but still far from a first order evolver, the discovery of Barrisium will be made public only by the end of the year, the military can still defend some places and establish bases, but the main cities were all conquered by mutant animals and sub humans, so humans could only flee to the countryside and less populated areas. What Ju long plans is to reach the first order evolver level as soon as possible, only by evolving will he become more confident and operate more efficiently. To do that he has no choice but to go to the most dangerous area, the urban centre. ¡°tomorrow I should depart, the reserve of food is already exhausted, the sub humans number decreased¡­ they surely migrated to the urban area¡± Then the night passed quickly without any problem. The first rays of sunlight made their way in the greyish and dilapidated houses, a slender shadow was carefully advancing in the street. Ju long slowly walked vigilantly looking at his surroundings, his sword was now attached to his waist, to better react to any situation, a bag pack was on his back. Early in the morning he rummaged through some of his neighbour houses and collected some food and water. Ju long was now farther and farther from his house, it was already five or four kilometres away, but not a single sub human was spotted. Ju long felt strange, he knows that sub humans are attracted by fresh meat so the decrease in survivors forced them to search in other areas but at least not all of them will disappear. His intuition is telling him that something is probably wrong, but he still didn¡¯t stop his steps he continued to move forward. Suddenly he heard some footsteps, it wasn¡¯t human, with his experience Ju long could differentiate between the footsteps of humans and sub humans. Sub humans¡¯ steps are irregular and rushed, hiding behind a car he discreetly took a look, four sub humans emerged from the two sides of the street, they were inside the buildings. ¡°why were they hiding inside, it doesn¡¯t make sense¡± Ju long was more and ore alarmed, the behaviour of the sub humans was abnormal, he could see a trace of fear from their disgusting eyes. Ughhh! A cry was heard and another sub human made his appearance but this time, it was not far behind Ju long, noticing the fresh meat its mouth was stained with saliva. Ju long absorbed the strengthening liquid so his body was more appetizing than other humans and the crazy greedy eyes of the sub human was the proof. Honestly, in his current state Ju long could deal with three sub humans simultaneously but it was his limit, more than three and it would become dangerous. And the worst happened the cry alarmed the other four which immediately revealed his position. ¡°I need to stay calm!¡± Ju long inhaled a large amount of air and exhaled slowly, calmness is the most important in life and death situations. Examining his surrounding, many cars were there, the nearest sub human was the one founding him first, the other four were still at 100 meters of him.You might be reading a stolen copy. Visit Royal Road for the authentic version. Ju long then made a decision, he immediately took out his sword, climbed out from behind the car and rushed to the nearest sub human. The dark silver blade shining with the light of the sun emitted a dazzling brilliance, the sub human was momentarily stunned, usually the prey will always run away but this time it rushed toward itself, the greedy eyes became even more greedy. The four other creatures were already marching, so it was imperative for Ju long to quickly solve the one in front of him, his speed accelerated, gripping the hilt of his sword tightly, there was only 1 meter of distance remaining. The sub human also moved he extended his greyish and pale hands to catch the prey in front of him he wasn¡¯t slow in fact he was also quick but then the prey disappeared suddenly. In his run Ju long slightly lowered his upper body and changed is trajectory evading the hands of the sub humans that were only one breath away from his face and then a flash of light passed through the neck of the sub human. Ju long didn¡¯t stop running and bypassed the frozen in place sub human, after a few seconds a head fell on the ground, and a stream of black blood spurted out. The four others didn¡¯t even flinch at their killed fellow and continued to madly chase Ju long. ¡°one down ¡­now I need to find a way to divide them¡± Ju long while running was thinking deeply then his eyes lit up, seeing some cars in front he jumped over a car then made some zig zag motions. The grey skinned sub human at this stage was still a dumb creature led by instinct and the moves It can make are still sloppy, so when Ju long Jumped over the car and disappeared from their vision, three were blocked by the car and in a state of confusion and one got around the car still chasing. In fact, Ju long didn¡¯t go too far, he was hidden again behind an abandoned car, his goal was to fade from their field of vision. Ju long took a stone and threw it on the ground at a near distance from his position, after a few seconds footsteps could already be heard, the moment the sub human appeared, Ju Long appeared silently like a trained assassin behind him and pierced his back penetrating the heart at the same time ending its life cleanly. Without waiting he changed his position again and repeated the same process killing the three remaining others. ¡°thanks to the terrain I could kill them cleanly, if it was an open space then it would be another story¡± Ju long breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the floor leaning on the car, don¡¯t look at Ju long easily killing the five sub humans but a slight error in judgment could become the end for him. But then something horrible happened, the alarm of the car he was leaning on was suddenly triggered, the sound was so loud in this deserted street. ¡°fuck! How could I make this kind of mistake!?¡± Ju long knew what the result of the alarm meant, suddenly footsteps from all around were heard. ¡°one, two, three¡­fifteen¡­oh shit¡­¡± Looking at all the sub humans like evil spirits surrounding him, Ju long cold face had a trace of anxiety, he climbed on top of the car, there was another van slightly taller, he jumped on it directly securing his safety temporarily. The sub humans surrounded the van looking at Ju long crazily but their hands can¡¯t reach which made them even more mad, the scene was like a flock of starving hyenas attracted by a piece of bloody meat. ¡°why were there so many hidden inside the buildings?¡± Just thinking about this question, the ground began to tremble, the wreckages and the stones on the roadside were jumping around. Ju long brows were wrinkled tightly, an uneasy feeling filled his mind. Even the sub humans that were struggling a moments ago were now petrified, in the end of street where a there was a junction, innumerable black spots filled the vision of Ju long. As the black spots approached, the ground trembled even more, it felt like a mini earthquake, from the left side and the right side of the junction black spots continued to appear like flood. The vision of Ju long was better than ordinary people, he clearly saw the identity of the black spots. ¡°The worst fucking type ¡­mutant rats!¡± Mutant rats, a type of evolved animals, before the apocalypse their living habits were to be in groups and to eat everything that is edible. After being exposed to the D entity, their shape and appearance didn¡¯t change much but their size tripled, now they were bigger that a cat and more aggressive, their size clearly becoming inconvenient for them to live in closed space like sewers, they emerged like a plague grinding everything in their passage. ¡°a single mutant rat isn¡¯t a problem, but a horde is not something to cope with, even a second order evolver will flee at their sight ¡­¡± Looking at the sea of rats, Ju long expression became extremely dignified, tightly clutching his sword and preparing for the horde. ¡°at this height I should be somewhat safe¡± The first wave of rats already reached the van, it incessantly shook due to the continuous impact of the rats, the dozens of sub humans were instantly submerged, after a few moments they couldn¡¯t be seen anymore. Some of the rats jumped from the horde and attacked Ju long, their defence was weak, he continued to wave is sword, left and right, dividing in two every rat coming near him. Rat intestines, organs, heads endlessly rained, soon the dark cloak of Ju long was red stained with blood, he was like a man directly emerging from hell. Wave after wave flocked constantly, Ju long felt tired, his forehead was full of sweat, the rat¡¯s number didn¡¯t decrease and twenty minutes already passed, this was evidence about how horrible a mutant rat tide truly was. Another ten minutes passed, Ju long was nearly at his limit but fortunately the number of mutant rats had signs of decreasing indicating that this is probably the last wave. ¡°pant ¡­pant ¡­finally¡­ ¡° Ju long crumbled on top of the now bloody van, he didn¡¯t mind the multitude of disgusting remains of the rats he killed around, he just laid there on his back and closed his eyes, the muscles on his arms were painful, sore and full of lactic acid. Where was the sub humans? not a single speck of them was left by the mutant rats, they devoured everything even bones were not left. One hour passed already, Ju long moved slightly feeling that regained some strength he jumped of the van, he wasn¡¯t afraid of any danger now, with the remaining breath of this mutant rat horde, no creature would dare to come here. Then Ju long made a strange action, he collected the meat of the mutant rats that he killed inside plastic sacs and stored them inside his bag pack about forty kg of meat was collected, if he could he would collect more but his bag pack couldn¡¯t support more. Unlike sub humans that have Barrisium sacs, mutant animals Barrisium is stored inside their meat, so mutant animals¡¯ meat is highly beneficial for humans, the more powerful the mutant animal the more effective it is for evolving. These mutant rats are still in the zero order so the amount of Barrisium in their meat is negligible but still it¡¯s better than nothing. After collecting the meat Ju long decided to find a place to take a rest so after restoring some more strength he continued on his road. Chapter 7: Survivors Zhao Ruxue is a thirty-two years ¡®old woman, she is a teacher at the university of science of Beijing, she took a week off work to take care of her sister who is ill because her husband was on a business trip. But what she didn¡¯t even think of was that the end of the world just happened when she took vacation, she witnessed how her bedridden sister who had a severe cold transformed into an ugly creature in the span of a few minutes. Fleeing from the house she noticed that many of these creatures filled the streets and slaughtered the remaining normal people. Overwhelmed by fear she hastily took refuge in a hotel, there was also many other survivors, men and women and even children. For the first two days everything was alright, there was a reserve of food so they didn¡¯t starve, but by the third day things began to become ugly, the food decreased and wasn¡¯t enough for dozens of people. Quarrels happened from time to time and finally an old woman couldn¡¯t take it and died of sickness, the survivors then panicked and didn¡¯t know what to do. Observing those people Zhao Ruxue noticed that some of the men began to have a different look in their eyes, they became easily irritated and even beat some of the women, seeing no one resisting them their behaviour worsened as time passes by. Zhao ruxue wasn¡¯t stupid, she knew what will happen if things continue like this, but what can she do? going out is a death wish, what can a weak woman do against those monsters, what was even more frightening is that yesterday they saw a horde of hideous giant rats flooding the streets which filled her mind with even more fear. Then the Zhao ruxue who was always by the window saw an unbelievable sight , the survivors were on the top floor of the hotel which was the tenth floor , they hide inside a spacious conference like room , Zhao ruxue hade a panoramic view of the streets below , she saw a black cloaked man with a tang sword killing some sub Humans and remnants of these terrifying rats , she couldn¡¯t see his face because it was hidden under the hood , his figure was tall and full of strength. What was even more surprising is that after killing these monsters he walked toward the hotel and entered inside. Zhao ruxue eyes then lit up, she wasn¡¯t an ignorant woman, quite the contrary being a young female teacher at a university full of old male professors with a mind full of archaic thinking she knew that the strange powerful man was her only chance to leave this place. ¡°ahhhhh!!¡± Suddenly a cry was heard inside the lobby, turning her head, Zhao Ruxue expression turned ugly, the worst thing finally happened. One of the prettier young women was caught by one of the men and dragged in another room in front of the frightened eyes of the other people, no one tried to save her, they all lowered their heads in fear. The man expression was evil and wretched, Zhao ruxue was filthy due to her fleeing wasn¡¯t noticed yet, she lowered her head thinking about how she can contact the black clothed man. ---------------------------- After the crisis of mutant rat horde, Ju long didn¡¯t rest for a long time and departed, now it was afternoon he wanted to find a safe place to spend the night. Ju long has already crossed three or four streets, along the way he killed some sub humans and even some mutant rats, what made him extremely happy is that he collected another 1 ml of Barrisium, so he was eager to find a place quickly. Crossing another street, he noticed that there was a hotel on the other side, this hotel was a good place, the height is appropriate, so the top floor should be free from danger. ¡°then it decided¡± Ju long passed through the main entrance, the reception was wrecked badly, it looked like a hurricane just passed by, the sofas were destroyed, the floor was tainted with black dried blood, some bones were even scattered here and there. Walking slowly, Ju long hand was always on the hilt of his sword, looking around he found an elevator, pushing the button he was surprised that it was still working. When the doors opened, a stench instantly filled the air, a corpse was lying there, it was in a state of decomposition, and worms were jumping around inside the decaying meat. Examining the corpse, Ju Long noticed that it was a young man in his teens, a big wound was on the side of his stomach, clearly a bite mark, looking carefully Ju long brows were knitted together. ¡°this wound ¡­¡± It was too big for it to be inflicted by a sub human and he can also be sure that it wasn¡¯t a mutant rat because the traces of teeth aren¡¯t comparable to the small sized jaw of a rat. Maybe this building is hiding a dangerous mutant animal, that¡¯s what Ju long idea was, based on the corpse he could easily imagine what happened. The young man was surely running away before being bitten by something making him loose a large chunk of flesh, so he hides inside the elevator but with too much blood loss he still died in the end. From the outside there was also a slight dent on the metallic door meaning that there was some impact due to a collision. ¡°for the time being let¡¯s go to the top floor ¡°Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences. Ju long ignored the corpse and the stench and pressed the tenth-floor button. Arriving without a problem the elevator made the familiar sound and the doors separated, a corridor appeared in his field of vision, there was a long red carpet on the floor extending to the two extremities. There was no blood on the walls and nor residual limbs, it was clean indicating that nothing happened on this floor. Ju long inspected some rooms and was going to choose one to spend the night but then his ears suddenly twitched. ¡°this sound ¡­¡± He heard a female cry, coming from the other end of the corridor, it was almost inaudible but Ju long wouldn¡¯t think it was an illusion he is confident about his hearing. ¡°meaning there are survivors here ¡° Ju long walked toward the source of the sound and a large wooden door appeared in front of him, this was a special room. Opening the doors what appeared in front of him are a large conference room with a dozen of frightened eyes staring at him stunned. Ju long was wearing a black clock and his body was hidden from head to toe, his appearance with his tall height, hidden face and the sword on his waist made them have the illusion of seeing the god of death so they screamed with fear and gathered in a corner trembling. But then there was an exception, a dirty woman was looking at him with a strange look, that wasn¡¯t fear and Ju long even saw traces of hope from her gaze. Looking at her carefully, Ju long felt a sense of familiarity but with all the dirt he couldn¡¯t recall who she is, the woman state was embarrassing and her hair was filthy but from the traits of her face Ju long can definitely conclude that it¡¯s a beauty. Ju long ignored the scared people and walked toward the dirty woman gazing at her with an expressionless face. ¡°what is happening here?¡± The woman looked at the tall man and was dumbfounded. ¡°this voice ¡­a..are you Ju long ?¡± Ju long was then taken aback. ¡°how do you know me?¡± Ju long then took off his hood and revealed his face. The people still huddled together in their corner were now frozen, the god of death was in reality a young man. The woman was further surprised, what appeared in her eyes was a handsome and delicate face but it was filled with coldness and the eyes were sharp like an eagle, the long hair was messy but added a trace of wild taste to his temperament. The woman gaze made Ju long uncomfortable. ¡°I said do I know you?¡± The woman then was driven out from her dazed state and trembled with excitement. ¡°Ju long its me your teacher Zhao Ruxue!¡± Ju long hearing the name was stunned. ¡°Zhao ruxue ¡­the physics teacher?¡± ¡°yes! it¡¯s me I was your teacher in your third year¡± ¡°oh¡± Ju long flatly responded but in fact he was feeling nostalgic, he certainly knew this woman and he suddenly was deep in his memories. Zaho ruxue a charming mature teacher, all the male students had a crush on her and was their dream lover but what made Ju long remember her wasn¡¯t that. This beautiful woman always helped him in his studies, and hearing that his only parent, his father disappearing, she felt sympathetic about him and always tried to be of assistance when in need. When the tragic abandonment of his fianc¨¦ happened and in his most miserable moment, he met Zhao ruxue by chance and was consoled by her for hours. That is why he had a special feeling for this woman, looking at her now she was so embarrassed and awkward he felt a little pity for her. ¡°teacher tell me what happened, I heard some cries¡± Zhao Ruxue eyes were filled with fear and disgust but when she was going to explain, suddenly a door of a certain room was rudely opened followed by the appearance of three different men, one of them still adjusting his pants. ¡°man, these chicks were something else!¡± ¡°don¡¯t tell me, the body of that college girl was so supple hahaha!!¡± ¡°brother her mouth was so slippery, if I could I would go another round ¡° All types of filthy sentences were spurted by them, looking at their appearance, one of them was fat with a bald head wearing a gold chain on his neck, another was tall and well built but his features were mean and his skin was somewhat dark, the last one was a muscular brawny with curly hair. Noticing the intruder, the three of them were stunned before having a vigilant expression. ¡°who are you?¡± The fat man asked glaring at Ju long. Ju long looked at them coldly before taking some steps and glancing inside the room. Ju long knew that in the apocalypse, moral ethics and principles will be destroyed and all types of inhuman acts would see the light but calm as he is, he still felt a terrible wrath invading his mind. The sight in front of him was so miserable that his forehead was full of veins protruding. Three women were inside the now filthy room, they were naked and full of bruises, one of them wasn¡¯t even 18 years old. One was lying on the floor with her legs open and her hands attached, some disgusting white liquid was covering her privates. Another was trembling in a corner her mouth full of blood. All three of them had a gaze void of emotions, Ju long retracted his gaze and stared at the three men in front of him. ¡°what? kid, why are you glaring at us? ¡°do you want to play the hero?¡± The three men were looking at the sword that Ju long had on his waist. ¡°don¡¯t think that you have a sword that you can scare us ¡° The tall and thin man saw that Ju long was silent thought that he was timid and walked toward him with disdain. ¡°kid, give me that sword or I will make you feel miserable ¡° Extending his hand to the sword, he thought that he could take it but then his wrist was immediately caught and couldn¡¯t reach the weapon. ¡°what are you trying to rebel¡± Ju long gaze became extremely cold, so cold that the room temperature felt like dropping all of sudden, then with lightning actions withdrew his sword from its sheath and slashed without the slightest hesitation. An arm flew high and fell on the floor, a stream of blood spurted out from the wound and a miserable cry rang inside the room. ¡°what! Ahhhhh!! my arm! My fucking arm!!!!¡± Not waiting for him to continue screaming another flash of light ended the cries and a head still having an expression full of pain flew. All the people inside the room froze momentarily. ¡°ahhh killing !!!¡± Some people screamed with fear. The headless body of the tall thin man crumbled on the floor, Ju long expression was light without the slightest fluctuation, it was like killing a fly. All along his years of survival he didn¡¯t even remember how many people he killed. The remaining fat man and brawny looked at Ju long like seeing a devil, they have never seen a person kill without the slightest emotion, this made them have cold sweat all over their body. Ju long bloodthirsty aura emanated from him covering the two men amplifying their terror. ¡°please don¡¯t kill us! ¡­please we know we are wrong please!¡± ¡°yes, yes, little brother I ask you to spare us we will do everything you want us to do in the future¡± Finally, the two kneeled on the floor weeping like two abandoned dogs. Ju long still looking cold gazing at them with deep disdain. ¡°I don¡¯t need dead people to serve under me¡± The sword flashed and two other headless bodies were on the floor, cleaning his blade from all the blood, it was recovered in the scabbard elegantly. The two heads still with unbelievable expression laid on the floor, just moments ago they were indulging in pleasure and now they were dead, fate is amusing. Zhao ruxue was looking at the back of Ju long Absentmindedly ¡°is this still the introverted and shy student I know?¡± Chapter 8: Crisis Not a sound was heard inside the now bloody conference hall, Ju long was unaffected ignoring the scared looks and vomiting of the dozens of so people. Ju Long entered the room were the three girls were, he wasn¡¯t panicked by the naked appearances, who is he? a man that lived 20 years in hell, his mind was already that of tempered middle-aged man, how can a naked woman body still let him feel awkward. He just felt the pulse of the woman lying on the floor and he frowned, she was already dead, maybe she couldn¡¯t afford the torture and shock and she passed away silently, then he checked another one, she was just fainted but her state was equally not hopeful, the only one still conscious was the young girl but she was like a pitiful wounded cat curled in the corner trembling Ju long covered the dead body, with a random blanket he found and the others with the clothes scattered around before leaving the room , he saw many cases like this in the apocalypse , judging by what happened he can conclude that the fainted woman would not live for a few days as for the college girl there is only two roads for her , she can end her life and her suffering or use the experience she had to change herself and embark on a the path of the strong. Ju long wasn¡¯t interested in what will happen he was already numb, things like what happened today, it is not a first but it would certainly not be the last time it will happen, even uglier acts and situations will appear. Ju long remembered that some evolver enslaved more than one hundred woman and used them as playthings and toys, he even treated them worse than livestock and shut them in an abandoned factory, when the evolver finally died those tortured women didn¡¯t even have the ability to sustain themselves, their eyes were like dead fish and couldn¡¯t even speak anymore. So, the fate of these three girls can only be said to be pitiful compared to others. Returning to the hall, Ju long stepped toward his former teacher. Seeing Ju long coming toward her, Zhao ruxue felt complex emotions, a mixture of excitement and fear. Noticing her expression, Ju long sneered. ¡°teacher, are you afraid of me?¡± ¡°I¡­I ¡­honestly a little¡± ¡°do you think that I should¡¯ve spared them?¡± ¡°i. I don¡¯t know, but killing is ¡­¡± Ju long expression became extremely cold. ¡°Teacher Zhao wake up, this is not the previous world you are living in, this is the end of the world, if it is not your luck that this three garbage didn¡¯t notice you and if it wasn¡¯t by chance that I came here I can guarantee that your fate should be worse than them¡± ¡°you ¡­¡± ¡°in this era most women are weak and will become tools for others, if you are timid and can¡¯t face what¡¯s ahead then your end will be miserable¡± Zhao Ruxue looked at Ju long expressionless face and lowered her head , in fact Ju long wasn¡¯t the type to preach to others , on the contrary he didn¡¯t care about others but he only did it because this woman was a benefactor and a good person who stood with him when he was at his worst so he wanted to remind her and make her change and adapt to this chaotic era that is only beginning. To his surprise, Zhao Ruxue didn¡¯t spend much time struggling with her thoughts, she was a clever woman, so she raised her head and her look became firm. ¡°you are right Ju long, cowering in fear and waiting for people help isn¡¯t my style, I should become stronger to better survive!¡± Zhao ruxue despite her embarrassed appearance finally thought things through and stood straight. Ju long nodded in satisfaction and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, Zhao didn¡¯t know why but when she saw him smiling at her she blushed, its only regrettable that she was covered with dirt or Ju long could have witnessed a true charm of a mature beauty. ¡°right I want to ask you something¡± Zaho ruxue recover from her shy state quickly. ¡°yes, what is it?¡± ¡°did you notice some strange creature lurking in the street or inside the hotel?¡± ¡°creature? you mean those abnormal rats?¡± Zhao ruxue was puzzled. ¡°yes, but not rats I mean another animal¡± ¡°no, we stayed here all the time, we only saw those people that changed into monsters and the rats, other things we didn¡¯t see¡± Ju long touched his chin and had a weird expression, but then he shook his head. ¡°nothing if there something it will surely appear at some time, its meaningless to waste energy thinking ¡­¡±The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon. ¡°hmm, what did you say?¡± ¡°oh nothing, I¡¯m going to rest, don¡¯t bother me¡± While saying that glanced at the other people inside the hall and chose a relatively isolated room to spend the night. Zaho ruxue understood his meaning and wanted to say something but in the end, she refrained to, her expression was very tangled. Entering the room and closing the door Ju long directly sat cross-legged, he didn¡¯t want anyone to see what he was going to do not even Zaho ruxue. From his bag he took the collected a syringe containing the collected Barrisium and injected it without too much nonsense, like always it was in the position of the heart. The Substance entered his metabolism and circulated making his body feeling some itch but nothing painful. Meditating for some time he took the Geiger counter that he didn¡¯t forget to take with him and test his radiation exposure. ¡°0.95 rem, another dose and I can finally break through to the first order¡± Then thinking again about the corpse in the elevator, he felt a sense of foreboding, he instinctively felt that this hotel is not going to be safe for a long time but he didn¡¯t have a choice and then he wasn¡¯t going to say too long here so he pressed his uneasy feelings in his mind. Ju long was really tired, the killing of sub humans and the horde of rats that put pressure on him made him mentally fatigued, so he chose a corner and leaned on the wall, his sword was placed on his lap. One of the rules of surviving is learning to rest everywhere and, in any environment, another is to always stay alert even when resting, so people mastered the skill of half-sleeping. In the apocalypse there is no truly safe place, every moment could change into a dangerous situation. And like that the night passed, early in the morning the door was knocked, Ju long was already awake that was his habit he only needed fours hours to recover fully. Opening the door, he found a Zhao Ruxue with swollen eyes looking at him with a smile while holding some snacks. ¡°good morning, I thought you would feel hungry so I brought you some snacks¡± Ju long looking at the food in the hands of Zhao Ruxue and he somewhat felt moved, he knew by observing the state of the survivors that there wasn¡¯t much food left, but she still gave him some. << she is still a kind woman>> he thought. Seeing Ju long looking at her for a long time without saying anything, her face became red and she lowered her head. <> The atmosphere became somewhat awkward and ambiguous but then it didn¡¯t last too long before a scream was heard. ¡°ahhhhh!¡± Ju long gripped his sword and instantly appeared inside the hall, behind him was Zhao ruxue looking around with panic. ¡°what happened?¡± Ju long saw that some of the survivors were in a state of excitement and dither. Ju long grabbed someone and coldly questioned him, then he knew what exactly happened, it turned out that two survivors suddenly disappeared, an old man and a middle-aged woman, the floor where they rested was now covered with blood. Ju long touched the blood with his fingers and noticed that it was still fresh, about three or two hours passed from the strange event. Then he also noticed that some of the blood was also on the side window that was still open and the wall beside. ¡°mutant birds? ¡­no, its not mutant birds there is no feathers left behind and the traces that are left are not compatible, if it¡¯s not a mutant bird then it climbed from the window ¡­hey is it ¡­ ¡° Then there was another commotion. A young man was trembling with fear, he appeared to be a student of some university. ¡°I¡­I saw it !¡± ¡°calm down what did you see?¡± Ju long looked at the young man and tried to calm him down. ¡°i¡­I couldn¡¯t sleep at night so I ¡­I saw it ,it¡­it was big , its eyes were shining green and it caught the old man and the woman with something that extended from its mouth before rapidly disappearing from the window , they¡­they couldn¡¯t have the ability to scream ¡­god we are all going to die ¡­to die ¡­to die¡± At the end of his speech he became crazy and kept repeating the word ¡°die¡± incessantly making the others feeling creepy. Ju long expression became extremely ugly, he knew what was lurking in the hotel, the description of the young man confirmed his thoughts but he didn¡¯t understand how could it appear in the urban area. Among the survivors there was a staff belonging to the hotel, a cleaning lady, she was ordinary and slightly fat so the three scums weren¡¯t interested in her. Ju long caught her and began to ask questions. ¡°can people keep pets in this hotel?¡± ¡°why are you asking this¡± ¡°just answer my question ¡° The woman was scared and replied carefully ¡°yes, some of the clients are keeping pets¡± ¡°is there someone keeping exotic pets?¡± ¡°I... I don¡¯t know¡­ahh I remember, the fifth-floor resident had some strange animals kept in a rectangular fish tank!¡± Ju long now can be sure it¡¯s a ¡­ ¡°ahhh monster !!!¡± Without waiting for him to think a yellowish creature climbed from the window, its two green inverted pupils were gazing at the people, a longue blood red tongue was going in and out from its mouth, along its body full of scales black strips could be seen. ¡°Mutant lizard!¡± Ju long spurted the words unconsciously, his forehead was full of sweat, it¡¯s a mutant lizard like he said, a type of mutant reptile, its advantage was speed and its tongue was dreadful weapon, judging by its size Ju long concluded that its not far away from evolving to a first order beast. Its size was the double of a mature crocodile, it had small but extremely sharp teeth, now Ju long knew what had bitten the corpse of the elevator, he should have concluded from the teeth marks, they were extremely organized and precise. Everyone panicked and began to run away, Ju long didn¡¯t have time to care for others, he knew that he was not its opponent with his current strength not to mention that he couldn¡¯t even penetrate its hard scales, his sword was sharp, but his arms power was lacking. So, he grabbed the frozen Zaho ruxue directly by the waist and rushed to the corridor living the hall without looking back. Painful cries resounded continuously, he didn¡¯t have to witness what happened to know the tragic and gruesome end the masters of the sorrowful voices had. Ju long ran along the corridor and ignored the elevator, it wasn¡¯t a wise choice to take the elevator now, with the power of the mutant lizard it could easily penetrate inside. Ju long preyed that these people could at least win him some time to escape but then from the corner of his eyes he saw a huge shadow. ¡°are you fucking kidding me! one is already a nightmare and now there is two!¡± Ju long felt extremely unlucky and cursed the eighteen generation of the resident who raised the exotic pets. Now he was cornered, the stairs leading down was blocked by the second mutant lizard and making a U turn is a big no, he was sure that the first Mutant lizard was not far behind. ¡°what should I do? ¡° Ju Long was faced the biggest crisis from the time of his rebirth.
