The whole world was gray and there was almost no bright color at first glance.
If it was just a place like this, maybe it wouldn’t be so horrible, but now the whole earth was like this.
The sun was still in the sky, but its original bright red color now passed through the gray-black sky, leaving only a faint light gray circular shadow.
If there were plants on the earth, they would die because of the sun being blocked. Fortunately, all kinds of plants have long been extinct.
No, they were not completely extinct. On the highest mountain on the planet, there was a small piece of grass with a large fingernail.
This kind of grass were the very many and inconspicuous kind of grass before the end of the last days. It was often used to spread the lawn. It was visible everywhere, but there were not many people who knew its name. People were used to stepping on them but never paid them any attention.
But now, it was the last plant on earth, and it was packed in a beautiful transparent crystal bottle, stretching the body to bring the last green color to the world.
A man in a thick black robe put the crystal bottle in his arms and brought warmth to the plants inside. With it standing on the mountain closest to the sun, watching the eyes, it was like they were looking at the most precious thing in the world.
It was also indeed valuable because plants that are far more beautiful than they or taller than others, have all mutated or died.
The man in the black robe stood quietly in the highest place of the world. He wrapped himself in black cloth and the whole person was as dead as the world, but his body was very clean. Those gray mists were rolling, but they could not break through into his body on Monday, as if they were completely blocked by a transparent cover.
There was really a cover, or a field, that was what a 7th and 7th level abilities could do.
The black-robed man stood there for a long time, staring at the crystal bottle in his hand, until there was some movement from below, and he finally turned his neck and looked far away.
A bright red color ran away from the fog and ran towards the black-robed man. There were a lot of black plants around him attacking him, but they were all pushed away by his flaming field. Not only did they not hurt him, it didn’t even slow him down.
In the black robe, the area around the body swayed a few layers of waves. In the next second, the black plants instantly receded.
“Lord, I am back.” The hair was cut at random, and the man with a lot of beard on his chin but full of mature charm came to his side in the field, and the clothes he wore were ragged and dirty.
The black-robed man did not care for him, instead he turned his head and looked at the crystal bottle in his hand.
“Lord, I found a little food!” The man holding the red field, or the fire abilities, didn’t care about the black-robed man who were indifferent to himself. He sat down with the black-robed man and let the two men’s fields cross. Kneeling together, then took out the things in his arms. It was a few cans, which were produced at some bases after the end of the world, but the bases that were capable of producing cans had disappeared for at least five years, and these cans had certainly expired.
“The cans are well kept, although they are out of date, they can still be eaten.” Protecting themselves from the fog in the field of fire, the fireman was holding out the cracked hand. The man, who wanted to put them in the hands of the black-robed man, suddenly found that their hands could not reach at all, and some sorrow appeared on the face.
“You eat.” The black-robed man finally spoke. His voice was hoarse, but he had a strange charm.
“I have already eaten.” The fireman said with a smile: “You can eat a little.” he said, and he opened a can, and then his expression quickly became stiff - inside the can, there was only a dark soup left.
Obviously, this can had been contaminated by the damn black matter.
The man with fire abilities have long been accustomed to encountering such things. After a pause, they started to open the cans until they opened them all, and finally found a good one: “I said, how can the cans I get out of that layered laboratory can be bad.”
He smiled freely and laughed, and the only can was brought to the black-robed man.
“One person and a half.” The black-robed man said in a simple and concise manner.
The fire-abilities man did not object, but smiled and said: “Okay, but I have already eaten it. I am waiting for you to eat half of it to eat.”
The black-robed man stared at the man with fire abilities and watched for a while. Eventually he ate half of the canned food. Although the canned food was not contaminated, it had long since expired. The taste was terrible, but the black-robed man was used to eating all kinds of disgusting food. He would eat the things without changing the color, and then give the remaining half to the other man.
“I don’t have the strength to expand the field, let it be there.” The fire abilities man said, narrowing their field to the side of the black-robed man.
The black-robed man again looked at him for a while, and the field suddenly enlarged a bit and included him.
The man with the abilities of the fire had scattered their own field and sat next to the black-robed man: “On the Lord, you are the best for me.”
The black-robed man did not speak this time, and the fire abilities man did not think that meant anything, and said: “On the Lord, you also sit down, have you been standing still?”
The black-robed man slowly sat down, the man with fire abilities was bright, and they quickly leaned against the black robes. On the body, at the same time, his words have increased: “On the Lord, the two of us are really amazing. Now we have become the two people who have lived until the end. Those people who used to swear at us are not allowed to die. As a result, they are all dead. We are still alive."
The man with fire abilities did not expect their words to get the response of the black-robed man, but the man responded exactly: "Well."
Hearing this response, the fire abilities man were exposed. Smiling, he suddenly said: “Qi Jingchen, I am really happy to know you.”
The black-robed man had not heard the name of someone else for a long time, but he still has no reaction at all.
“Qi Jingchen, now there are only two of us in the world. If we don’t talk anymore, it will be too cold. You can talk to me.” The fire abilities man said again. Respectfully, the black-robed man was called “the Lord”, but now he had called his name one after another.
“What is there to say?” asked the black-robed man.
“Do you remember my name? Call me a few times to let me hear.” The man with fire abilities laughed.
The black-robed man turned to look at the man with fire abilities, and then the hoarse voice sounded: “Nie Yi.”
“Qi Jingchen, how do you say this world has become like this? If I knew that the world would become like this, I would have enjoyed my life at the beginning, and I would never work hard every day to make the company bigger."
"Well, I can't say that, if I'm not working hard enough, I can't live now, now I'm so good.
I am very happy to be the second in the world. I am really happy to meet you. At that time I thought I was going to die. You saved me…” Nie Yi said, the color of the gray fog around them had become more and more profound, and now it had become a black piece - the sun… went down.
“You saved me,” said the black-robed man.
“At the time, if I didn’t save you, you wouldn’t have died, but if you didn’t save me, I really would have died. At that time, I was gone… I saved when I saved, I think this world. There are still good people, I must not let you die.” Nie Yi said.
The black-robed man was silent.
“Qi Jingchen, you never talk to me about your life before the end of the world, I have already told you everything about me, should you tell me about your business?” Nie Yi asked with a smile.
Now the sky was completely dark, but Nie Yi was the most familiar person with the black-robed man. He could imagine the expression of Nie Yi now by pure imagination.
He was silent for a while and suddenly said: “I have nothing to say about my previous affairs.”
“Why don’t you have anything to say? I want to know!” Nie Yi burst into a big smile in the darkness - the name of the whole earth’s supreme being, what it looked like, it had always been him. People knew that this feeling was really great, but unfortunately, he still didn’t understand the things before Jingchen.
The man in the black rove, suddenly said again: “I was very young when my parents divorced, my parents didn’t want me, adoptive grandparents took me to the village, a family surnamed Qi ……”
The man in black had never liked to talk to people about his own life. After the end of the world, he experienced the most extreme pain. He even refused to tell others his name, but at this time, he slowly said his own experience. When he came out, the pain and despair he had experienced were the same.
After the advent of the last days, he was recognized as the most evil person in the world. The most widely circulated thing he had done was that he had smashed a large security base and then killed nearly half of the humans at that time. Two masters of the master.
After doing these two things, he once stood on the opposite side of all human beings. Countless people attacked him quickly, but his strength was too strong, and his ability could completely ignore zombie attacks and he was even able to control the dark abilities of the lower-level zombies, so no-one could hurt him. Later, many people gathered around him for strength, for safety, or for his family. At that time, he was really very lively.
Unfortunately, in the end, the only two people left were him and Nie Yi.
When all the animals became zombies that are irrational and only know to attack, when all the plants were no longer green but a weird black color with toxins, when the world's water abilities were no more than five people who could make clean water… How could humans survive?
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people around, he saw that every piece of land in the world was covered with black, which was not very good.
His strength was very strong. He could always hold the energy cover and keep all the dark energy outside, but only a small piece can be maintained.
Before, he stayed in a place for a long time in order to retain a little life, and then placed a shelf full of flowers on his side, but then the man who stood in the opposite safe area with him committed suicide. After the attack, everything was ruined.
Now he only had the grass in his hand, and the only one person left was Nie Yi.
Even Nie Yi, will die sooner or later…
The black-robed man closed his mouth, and the man around him had already leaned on him, and they had already… stopped breathing.
In the case where everything was polluted, the only place where you could find the next bit of food was estimated to be the research room in a large safe area, and in such a place, how could there be no strong zombies?
He could control the zombies, but only for the lower level. Those powerful zombies will also hurt him. How could Nie Yi pay no price for them?
The black-robed man touched the man on the body and surely touched several huge wounds on the other’s back.
When Nie Yi came, he had not found this, but when Nie Yi approached him and entered his protective cover, he immediately knew that Nie Yi was injured.
He didn’t say anything. At this point, left and right are just death. What was the difference between saying and not saying? And he did not have a way to save Nie Yi.
Nie Yi probably knew this too, and he would ask him so much… just, in the end, he still didn’t wait for him to finish, and Nie Yi died.
In fact, he knew Nie Yi and he felt very bad. If there was no Nie Yi, he would die after he had reported a great hatred.
Living, really didn’t mean anything.
However, Nie Yi wanted him to live and left him half a can.
The black-robed man moved the body of Nie Yi, put it on his lap, and then used his own field to put Nie Yi's protection in the air. This person stayed by his side, it would not be because of the darkness outside. The energy turned into a zombie…
Two days later, the black-robed man ate the remaining half of the more disgusting cans, and then drank the little water that Nie Yi had already prepared with his water abilities.
After another ten days, the black-robed man poured a little water into the crystal bottle in his hand, and then completely sealed the crystal bottle.
“I am going to die, I hope you can live a few more days… although it is very difficult…” The black-robed man was thin, almost just a layer of skin on the bones, put the crystal bottle on the ground, and slowly closed his eyes.
Almost as long as the grass in the crystal bottle withered.
After the end of the world, many scientists wanted to create a closed ecosystem to keep humans alive. However, they all failed. How could the grass in this crystal bottle survive?
There was no living thing on earth since then.
