Qi Jingchen was awakened by screams, and then he almost intoxicatedly listened to the endless screaming and other miscellaneous voices - this kind of excitement was really long gone.
However, was he not already dead? Why did he still hear the sound?
No, it should be said that even if he was not dead, he should not hear the sounds. The zombies and mutant plants would kill if they could still move, but they would not make a cry.
The experience of the last days made Qi Jingchen very alert, but he didn’t want to move at all, so he knew that he was not right, but he just lazily opened his eyes.
Then he saw the bright white ceiling, the familiar and strange… the house he rented before the end of the world.
In the summer when the end of the world came, Qi Jingchen had just passed his 22nd birthday and had just graduated from college and had the first formal job in his life.
He was actually born in a big city. There were also a pair of parents who could not be regarded as rich and expensive, but who could also be successful in their careers. Only, his parents had a divorce shortly after he was born. They were not willing to take care of him after the divorce. … Finally he was sent to the grandparents’ home in the country.
His grandparents were not only his father’s parents, but also his grandparents. Of course, he wouldn’t be worried about him. Later, he knew that someone nearby wanted to pass a son and sent him directly.
His adoptive parents were surnamed Qi, and the name Qi Jingchen was also given by his adoptive parents. This couple was not promising people, but after all, young and strong have jobs, and the days were not bad. Qi Jingchen was their successor. He intended to give his endowment to the end of his life, and Jingjing was naturally very good. He had never been short of anything.
Even later, when the couple gave birth to a daughter when Qi Jingchen was eight years old, they did not suffer from Qi Jingchen. They not only raised Qi Jingchen well, but also sent Qi Jingchen to go to university.
It was just that Qi Jingchen was not their own. They were more or less separated by Jingchen. For example, they would hold their daughter Qi Yaoyao's heart and baby's name, but they would not treat Qi Jingchen like this.
However, Qi Jingchen was very satisfied. For him who knew that he had been adopted since he was a child, it was a great gift for his adoptive parents not to abandon him. He would not dare to ask for too much, he even worked hard to reduce the burden on his adoptive parents. For example, he never wanted to spend money and after he was admitted to college, he knew that his parents had the ability to provide college tuition and living expenses, but eventually only let his adoptive parents pay the tuition fees for the first year of college.
The first two months of living expenses in the freshman year was earned by the factory during the summer vacation after the college entrance examination. Later, the tuition and living expenses were earned by part-time use of spare time after he went to college.
He was grateful to his adoptive parents. When he was at university, he didn't dare to spend more than a penny. The gift for raising his parents on the holidays was never thin. He was the son of his adoptive parents. His sister was even more unconditionally spoiled.
His adoptive parents were also very good to him. They often had a good son. They said that although they didn’t give birth to him, they were no more considerate than their own. They even wanted to give him money, fearing that he would have a hard life in the big city… All this, Qi Jingchen looked in his eyes and remembered it in his heart.
However, his sister, after he went to college, he did not know why she suddenly became hostile to him.
Qi Jingchen always remembered that when he went to college, his sister took his hand and cried, as if she didn’t want let him go. He thought that his sister was not happy because he could not accompany her, but it was better for his sister.
Therefore, after the summer vacation and the sister proposed to go to the city where he worked, Qi Jingchen gnawed his teeth and spent a lot of money in a nice neighborhood renting a small house with two bedrooms and one living room. Going around to play, the day before the end of the last days, he was already planning to borrow money from his classmates because of his shame.
In order to welcome his sister's rented house, he was now living in this set, and the screaming outside was his sister and his sister's good friend.
At this moment, it was impressive to align with Jingchen.
It was the first day of the last days. His biological clock was always punctual, but this day, inexplicably, he did not get up on time until his sister's screams woke him up.
He was shocked when he heard his sister’s cry. He didn’t feel comfortable and went out to comfort her, only to learn that the end of the world was coming.
Not long after the end of the world, all the means of communication were ineffective, but this time it was still available. His sister got up in the morning and used the mobile phone to go online to learn about the end of the world. Then she saw two zombies in the community. Only when you attack others will you scream.
No one knew how the end of the world came about. He only knew that about one-third of the world's population suddenly became irrational, only those who attacked and sneaked in fresh flesh and blood. It was not possible to be concealed, so the government had not concealed it. At the moment, on the TV, the radio was calling on the residents to save themselves. Don’t get close to the zombies, because once they are bitten and scratched, they may become the next zombies.
In fact, the situation seen in the community was still good. After all, the mutation happened in the middle of the night. Many zombies were still locked at home, but as the survivors began to flee, the zombies outside would become stronger and stronger, and in a few days, ordinary communication equipment would not be used.
Regarding the origin of the zombies, the scientists in the last days had been studying, and finally came to the conclusion that there was a thing known as dark energy on earth, and all those who are polluted by this energy would eventually become zombies.
In the beginning, only human beings were polluted by this energy, and later there were animals, then plants, and finally… the earth became a dead land.
He was the only dark-powered person in the world. He was not afraid of this energy. So, like Nie Yi, if you couldn’t keep holding the field and breathed in the air with dark energy outside, you may be infected unknowingly, and become a zombie.
Most of those who follow him were dead like this.
Of course, that was all in the late days, and now he didn’t have to worry about them. There were countless normal people on earth, and the animals and plants on the earth were also normal. Even the air filled with PM2.5 was fresher than the late end of the world.
Qi Jingchen almost greedily breathed a breath of fresh air that had been spoiled by him before the end of the world. He had a feeling of happiness, but he soon felt that it was very ridiculous.
He didn’t know how he could have returned to the early days of the last days, but he felt that it was meaningless. Since humans would eventually become extinct, what was the point of letting him live again?
Maybe he would be more cautious in this life, not letting his sister know the specialness of his body, and then let the friend who was next to his sister know his speciality, and not have to experience the pain he had experienced, but what did it mean? Finally, everyone would not die?
Thinking of the sight he saw before he died, Qi Jingchen only felt that he was so tired. He was too lazy to care about the crying sister outside, and still laid in bed.
The sound of the outside had disappeared, and then the door of Qi Jingchen was ringing. His sister Qi Yaoyao sounded with a crying voice: “Qi Jingchen, Qi Jingchen! You must get up, something is going on outside!”
This evening, during the end of the world, many people were sleeping inexplicably well, and then when they woke up, the world was very different.
They were busy calling around, looking for loved ones, and comforting each other… Qi Jingchen was one of them in his life, but now he didn’t even call his sister. He was too lazy to answer.
“Yaoyao, your brother should not become that kind of monster?” Following Qi Yaoyao to come to the city to play, more specifically, it should be following Qi Yaoyao here to eat and drink.
Qi Yaoyao and Guan Jiayu were only fourteen years old this year. Regardless of their personality, they still hadn't experienced anything. After such a guess, they cried outside Qi Jingchen's door.
The two girls cried very badly, and Qi Jingchen in the bed “listened” to them crying like this, and still felt very calm - he now liked to be a little more popular.
He didn’t know if his spiritual power after the end of the world was brought to this body, or he actually had spiritual power at this time. Although the soundproofed walls were separated, the sound outside his door was particularly clear.
To the cries of his sister, he closed his eyes.
The so-called end-of-time was actually caused by the energy that scientists called “dark matter” on earth. No one knew where the dark energy came from, they only knew that that energy destroyed the earth, but in the beginning of the last days, there were actually other energies that came to Earth.
Some people absorbed the energy of those various attributes and then that become their abilities.
In the early days of the awakening, the abilities were probably because of the energy transformation, and the body would be very uncomfortable, feverish, and even lethargic. This situation usually lasted for a few hours or a few days. As long as they passed, they would have a magical ability.
Qi Jingchen was now uncomfortable, his body temperature was getting higher, and he couldn’t wait to sleep for a whole day.
In his last life, he didn’t know that this was the symptom of the awakening of the power. He insisted on comforting his sister. He comforted his sister and took advantage of the fact that there were not many zombies in the community to go out and inquire about the news, making him more uncomfortable. Later, he learned this. About the symptoms of the awakening of the abilities, and because he was not awakened, he thought that he was not meant to awaken abilities, but to be physically uncomfortable.
The end of the world had come, and he had been sick all the time, was this not dragging down others? During that time, he always spurned his own broken body, he insisted on going out with other men to find supplies, and then was bitten by the zombies…
He was very special, but in the early days of the last days, he was very weak, and he took two men with him that time. The fourteen-year-old girl really lived very hard. Later, she was betrayed by Qi Yaoyao's friends. When she was "captived" by others, she was not able to resist because of physical reasons.
He didn’t know if his dark power was too strong or too weak. He lasted to the winter of the second year after the last year. He was finally awakened when he was tortured to think that he must die. Then he woke up, and he was level three. Level three abilities also had a very strong mental power.
In the late end of the last period, the third-level abilities were able to breathe a few mouthfuls of air, but at that time, the strongest human was only level three.
Qi Jingchen was lying in his bedroom, but the sound outside the door was clear. The younger sister was frightened. Last time, he called his adoptive parents. This time his sister called the phone like he himself had done, and just like in his last life, no-one answered.
Qi Jingchen did not know what happened to his adoptive parents, but he went back to see it after his free life. At that time, his home was already without any living things, and there were no safe area nearby.
The reason why his adoptive parents did not answer the phone was that they had become zombies at the end of the last days.
Thinking of relying on his own broken body, it was impossible to bring two girls back to the city where their foster parents were, and Qi Jingchen would completely put this down, instead of thinking like the last life. Go home.
If you think about it, even if his adoptive parents were still alive, he couldn’t save people now, and even if he could save people… After everyone suffers, didn’t you still die?
Anyway, if you have to die, it's better to die at the beginning, so you don't have to go through the future despair.
