"You are too late, Princess. The moment the Seed of Civilization falls, a huge explosion will destroy almost the entire Xinjing. At the center of the explosion, even if the Tier 4 pioneers survive, they can only degenerate into a plague seed."

"And more humans and animals on this continent will also die or fall under the frenzy of the supernatural virus. Within a few years, there will be more Abelios on Earth than humans and animals. Those are all the'Abelios' born from your'pre-humans', do you really have the heart to kill them all?"

The Emperor laughed at Renee for the last time. It seems that he can accept such a result.

Renee clenched her fists. She turned her head and glanced at the Throne for the last time, and said: "Even so, I will definitely not let this world develop as you wish. I will still do my best to protect the remaining life on earth, so You Abelio and Abelio civilization, from'where' to go back to'where'! It's a pity that you will never see the future of the Abelio's extinction again."

Emperor Zuo downplayed, confidently and confidently: "It's only death. The orphan is the ‘systemic wisdom’ born by itself. As long as the mission is completed, the lone can die anytime."

"Kill the lonely, the lonely will be in the sky, and you will bet on who wins and who loses."

Renee showed a fierce face, and crushed the head of the Emperor with one foot. Then she released a big fire, burning the body of the emperor seat, leaving no ashes.

After doing all this, Renee flew back to the top of the Apocalypse Mountain. She once again cast the flames of destruction, ruthlessly burning the ruins of the Temple of Abelio!

The pictures in the palace that recorded the history of Abelio's civilization were also burned along with the ruins.

Looking at the monstrous sea of ​​fire below, Renee suddenly felt an unprecedented emptiness and fear. Because the destruction of the Imperial Palace and the Temple of Abelio was only the beginning, and after that, there would still be enemies of the entire planet, and she had to rely on her to defeat them.

Even if she had gathered four divine utensils, but she didn't have the feeling of teammates around, there was no way she could not let people feel sad.

"Rene, go back quickly."

In the dark, Renee seemed to hear a very gentle voice. She looked back suddenly and saw a looming golden figure in the lonely sky. In the hazy and illusory golden light, Wu Qi smiled affectionately, looking at her alone.

"You did a good job. Although the road ahead is full of bumps, I will always be with you and keep going."

"Really, Wu Qi."

Renee looked at Wu Qi in the sky, her mouth raised slightly, squeezing away the sadness and loneliness.

Maybe the "Wu Qi" in the sky is just an illusion imagined by her brain, but only so, Renee is also happy to be content.

......

On the day when the second power meteorite fell, the "Dawn Era" that mankind spent nearly a hundred years in the last days and gradually prospered ended. Xinjing, the center of the Supreme Court, destroyed most of it in the cataclysm, and a horrible virus frenzy swept the sky, land, and sea in just a few days. On the entire continent, the human population once again plummeted to one-tenth of the original.

At the same time, the concentration of super-powered viruses on the surface of the earth has seriously exceeded the standard, and human territory has become an "occupied zone" from within. The frenzy of super-power viruses quickly spread to the wilderness empire in the corner of human territory, causing a large number of third- and fourth-order mutant animals to degenerate into fourth-order plague species.

The only remaining human beings, centered on Noah City and the Southern Military Region of the Supreme Court, escaped underground at the fastest speed. The "underground city" built by the Supreme Court in the Age of Darkness escaped the most terrifying initial stage of the catastrophe.

And in the most difficult process that the only remaining human beings passed through, a mysterious girl with long hair in blue and gold came to the human side. She used all kinds of miraculous abilities to build a forest protection belt to isolate high concentrations of supernatural viruses, purify a virus-free lake in the loop, and weave a huge rain-proof canopy; she sits in the underground city In the sky above, the Tier 4 plague species on the entire continent dared not approach the final home of mankind.

The remaining humans in the underground city, after experiencing the most difficult and most deadly rescue work at the beginning, were finally selected three due to various factors such as management system, scientific and technological contribution, personal ability, popular will, and distribution of credit. As the human leader of the underground city, the individual leads the survival of the human beings after the cataclysm and restores prosperity from scratch.

The three of them are Wu Jun, Hicks and Xu Xinsu.

And Wu Jun and the remaining humans finally learned through the mouth of the mysterious girl that Wu Qi and Macdonald, who went to the Abyss of Apocalypse that day, gave their lives in the final battle with the Emperor.

The gears of time continued to operate amidst the joys and sorrows of countless people. Gradually, 21 years have passed.

And this era is called the "Tinder Age".

......

On a sunny afternoon, the sky was as clean as a pale blue pike, and the lush forest of giant trees in the distance became a landscape of 21 years under the blue sky. And in the field surrounded by giant trees and forests, the golden grassland covers the vast land; on the other side of the grassland, a light blue lake flows quietly, and scattered fish are slowly under the quiet water surface. Wandering, rippling open circles of silent waves.

And under this small surface area where everything is beautiful, the huge underground capital is also running in an orderly manner.

The underground city is covered with a highly simulated screen, and the bright weather is exactly the same as the outside. In the afternoon, many people in the underground city walked out of the building where they worked, strolling leisurely on the street, basking in the simulated warm "sunlight", and breathing the artificially filtered fresh air that flooded the underground city.

On the north side of the underground city, in a villa with a small back garden. A 40--50-year-old couple is busy in the kitchen. Their child, Gu Liming, who just graduated from Noah College today, is playing single-player games in front of the TV in the living room with a lollipop in his mouth.

From time to time, a middle-aged man's voice came from the closed kitchen.

"Xiao Man, put less oil."

"Xiaoman, too much salt."

"Xiaoman, you want to release the **** early."

A woman said loudly: "Can you stop being babbled? My old lady asked you to teach me cooking, not letting you stop pointing at me!"

The man is not to be outdone: "On weekdays, you just burn it as you like. There are very important guests today, or I will come."

"Oh? You look down on me? Last night you asked me to help you read your design theory of the'Natural Energy Cell Virus Engine', you didn't beg me like that!"

After all, the man's hard voice still softened.

"Yes, I will teach you patiently and promise not to talk about you again.

"It's pretty much the same."

"By the way...Let's change the pot first. This pot is battered..."

At this time, the doorbell of the villa rang, and Gu Chang in the kitchen yelled: "Dawn, your mother told you to open the door."

"Oh!"

Gu Liming paused the game, walked to the door of the room and opened it.

Behind the door appeared the lofty suit and leather shoes, and Wang Yan.

"Dawn, congratulations on graduation."

"Uncle Gao Yuan, and Aunt Wang Yan, hello."

Gao Yuan smiled and hugged a bunch of flowers, and handed them to Gu Liming in desperation. Then, he took out a rectangular silver iron box with the "Noah Technology" logo on it.

Gu Liming's helpless eyes were suddenly lit by the rectangular silver iron box. He excitedly said, "Uncle Gao Yuan, this is really..."

Gao Yuan rubbed Gu Liming's head in a petting way, and said with a smile: "Yes, it is the new electromagnetic energy sniper rifle "Crescent Moon" from Noah Technology."

"The kind that can launch gravity special ammunition?"

"of course."

Gu Liming was happy instantly. He picked up the long box of the "Crescent Sniper Rifle" and returned to the sofa to open it. He didn't even bother to play games on the TV.

Wow-Gu Chang poked his head from the opened kitchen door and said, "You are so lofty. Can't wait to let my family Liming inherit your mantle so soon?"

Gao Yuan shrugged: “It’s not my fault. Dawn’s various combat test scores in school are all S grades. The long-range precision sniping alone broke the school’s record for three consecutive years, and he can be 18 years old this year. To achieve 30% reversion to the ancestors, within ten years, it will be time for the'sniper god' of the pioneer army to be replaced."

Wang Yan added: "And in this era, how reassuring the fighting is. It just happens to be complementary to your couple."

Gu Changzai silently looked at his child who was praised by Gao Yuan and Wang Yan. He sadly said: "I don't care about this. I think this child is obviously talented, but he did not inherit the good scientific research of me and Xiaoman. Genes, it's a pity."

Without waiting to speak from afar, Gu Liming, who opened the silver box on the sofa, said first, "Dad, you have it. The mission of a great man like scientific research must be entrusted to a talented scientist like you and my mother. And like me The only option is to join the pioneering army if the child is destined to fight and kill."

Gu Liming pretended to have a pitiful look, which caused Gu Chang to vomit.

"You stinky boy, where did you learn this kind of yin and yang from your childhood?"

"Mutated from where you are." Gu Liming smiled.

After speaking, Gu Liming said again: "Furthermore, you don't know, I have not changed my small goal."

Gu Liming and Gao Yuan smiled at each other, and they said in unison: "Riding on the shoulders of the'July Moon God' and fighting alongside it."

Gu Changzai was helpless and relieved. No way, he, a man who has changed his life by the favor of the boss, is so close to his children and his brothers, friends, and pets who stayed in this world. He is heartfelt gratified.

Although he said that he did not want Gu Liming to fight and kill with the army, but in a corner of his heart, there is still a small hope that his child can replace the once unable to fight himself and complete the black The wish of riding teammates to fight side by side on the front line.

Gu Changzai didn't sigh for long, so Xue Xiaoman pulled him back to continue teaching the cooking details.

After more than half an hour, the doorbell rang again. Before Gu Liming went to open the door, five people came in this time.

Lu Junjun pushed Yue Zhanfei who was in a wheelchair, Pi Chunsheng waved his hands, Xiao Kui and Ke Lian led them and walked in together.

"Congratulations on graduation, dawn!" everyone shouted together.

"This is a red envelope!" "This is a red envelope!" "This is a red envelope!"

"Thank you, uncles and aunts!" Gu Liming happily accepted the thick red envelopes from five uncles and aunts, and then invited everyone to the dinner table.

"Oh, Gao Yuan and Madam Ling are here." Yue Zhanfei waved his hand and said hello.

Gao Yuan was holding the handle of the stand-alone game that Gu Liming had just played in his hand at the moment. He turned his head and smiled and greeted Yue Zhanfei and Lu Junjun to come over.

"The new second generation, the plot has been updated a lot, and there are branches."

"Really?" Yue Zhanfei asked, "Junjun, have you played?"

"No, I'm planning to buy it, don't you want this?" Lu Junjun said.

Yue Zhanfei smiled and nodded happily.

Gao Yuan looked at Yue Zhanfei and Lu Junjun, whose perceptions were very different from 21 years ago, and their eyes were full of blessings of happiness for their comrades.

That is, more than ten years ago, when the underground city was in short supply and continued to send pioneer troops to the surface to open up, everyone from the Black Cavalry joined the first batch of pioneer troops without hesitation. At a certain critical moment when the pioneering army was surrounded by two Tier 4 plague species, Yue Zhanfei stood up for the retreat of the pioneering army. He detonated all explosives in the ammunition depot with one person, dragging two Tier 4 plague species.

Afterwards, the reinforcements of the pioneer army arrived in time under the guidance of leader Xu Xinsu's "Foreseeing the Future". The Tier 4 powerhouse rescued the dying Yue Zhanfei, but Yue Zhanfei still suffered from the sequelae of lower body disability.

With the medical level and medical supplies reserves of the underground city at that time, it was far from curing Yue Zhanfei's paralysis. So Lu Junjun voluntarily retired and stayed in the hospital to take care of Yue Zhanfei's diet. After taking care of this for two years, the relationship between Yue Zhanfei and Lu Junjun has improved a lot. Yue Zhanfei was no longer so mean to Lu Junjun. Lu Junjun also found that Yue Zhanfei, who had a better temper and became thinner and handsome, had many similarities in personality and habits and hobbies.

After that, Yue Zhanfei's paralysis was cured, and the two got married, which was also in everyone's expectation.

"But I said Brother Fei, you deliberately used a wheelchair to let your sister-in-law push the bad taste, when will it be over." Gao Yuan gave the handle to Yue Zhanfei, while joking.

Yue Zhanfei shook his head arrogantly and said: "This wheelchair is a token of love that your sister-in-law gave me. I will keep it for the rest of my life and use it on some good days."

"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't like you when I gave you the wheelchair." Lu Junjun lightly pinched Yue Zhanfei's nape, and retorted with flushing cheeks.

There are more guests in the living room, and the atmosphere becomes more lively. The women gathered together to chat and talk about gossip, while the men gathered around the TV to grab the handle and play with Gu Liming. Everyone took turns to play, everyone else watched around.

After another half an hour, Gu Changzai and Xue Xiaoman brought out a table of hot, delicious dishes. The host and hostess joined the men's pile and the woman's pile, and warmly entertained the crowd.

At this time, a new doorbell rang at the door, and Gu Chang ran over to open the door. It was Greg Moses who showed up and Adriana in crimson casual clothes.

"Hello, Dr. Greg, General Adriana, come here, you are welcome." Gu Changzai invited these two special guests in with a smile on his face.

Greg is now grey-haired and wrinkled, but his sharp and wise eyes are still the same as they were twenty years ago.

"Xiao Gu still likes to talk politely so much, he's all at home."

Gu Changzai said: "No matter where, my respect for seniors is the same whether in the research institute or at home."

"Your kid's mouth is really unheard. If I had known you sooner, maybe the position of dean when I retired would be in your hands." Greg said half-jokingly.

"The predecessors are absurd. The position of the dean should be inherited by the most talented, persevering, and noblest descendants recognized by the predecessors. Gu Changzai, I am still far away."

In a few words, Gu Chang not only took Greg’s slogan, but also praised Greg’s choice of the new dean and his vision. Similarly, his own reputation was not damaged in the slightest, and he made Greg and Greg amused. The general Adriana behind him smiled. This mouth has never been praised by others in vain.

Gu Liming glanced at his father who was talking and laughing with Dr. Greg, a little speechless.

"My tongue is not'good' as you taught."

Gu Liming said silently. At this time, Adriana walked over with a graceful gesture and handed Dawn a gift bag.

"Dawn, congratulations on graduation!"

Gu Liming happily accepted the gift: "Thank you Teacher Anna."

The guests at the dinner were almost gathered, and the sun outside was also close to setting. The orange-red braised clouds hung high in the sky, intoxicating, dreamlike. The windows of the villa frame this rare beauty into a moving painting.

"Old Gu, people are almost there, who else hasn't come?" Gao Yuan asked Gu Chang.

Gu Changzai said, "There is another guest. She said she will come soon."

"OK."

The people reunited on the side of the sofa gradually moved to the dining table while chatting. The handle of the stand-alone game was also placed on the table by Gu Liming. The game picture on the TV screen turned into a list of producers after one week of clearance.

Under the background of soothing pure music and beautiful scenery, the producer list slowly moved up to the apex, and finally three big golden characters appeared——

"Black Riding Two".

......

In the distance of the golden grassland on the surface, there is a hillside like cornices. People standing on the front of the hillside can just see the sunset on the west side.

The weather is slightly cool and the wind is bleak. A beautiful figure with long golden hair and waist is wrapped in a thick pink down jacket with a white cashmere scarf around the collar.

She is no one else but Renee who returned to the underground city after traveling the mainland for the eighth time. She has returned her hair and skin color to the way she was when she was a human, just like what her family and friends knew.

Although her image of "Abelio" is also widely known, she is regarded as a **** by the people of the underground city.

Renee stood silently on the hillside, facing the orange sunset in the west, quietly looking at the two monuments standing on the top of the hillside.

The name "Wu Qi" is engraved on one monument, and "McDonald" is engraved on the other monument.

According to the age engraved on the monument, if Wu Qi was still alive, he would be 40 years old now. At this time, he should have a happy family, and if he is successful, he will definitely work very hard to help the earth's human civilization for the better. After work, he will be able to enjoy family happiness when he returns home.

Renee always came here to cherish the memory of Wu Qi. Whenever she stood here and closed her eyes, Wu Qi always appeared in the dark, and what he had said to her always heard in her ears. If you can't "see" Wu Qi's illusion occasionally, come here for a while and stay quietly for an afternoon. After leaving, she can "see" Wu Qi's illusion floating in the sky.

Compared to the starry world full of sorrow and the "tree-shaped light belt" that took Wu Qi away, Renee prefers to stay here quietly.

"Wu Qi, in the 21 years since your'Ascension', I have been fulfilling the mission you entrusted to me every moment. I guard the underground city, guard your relatives and friends, and never give up I have used the power of the sacred dish to purify the land contaminated by the supernatural virus. Recently, the Wilderness Empire gave birth to a new Wilderness son, who is as gifted as MacDonald. I am helping him well, and I hope he can revive the Wilderness Empire in one fell swoop , To suppress the proliferation of plague seeds and the Abelio and the expansion of the territory. Also, the second power meteorite descended on a new set of divine utensils left after the explosion, I found another one on this trip, Two things are still missing."

"Are you watching everything I do, Wu Qi?"

Renee muttered to herself at the monument to Wu Qi. In fact, she really hopes that Wu Qi after "Ascension" can look down from a place like heaven and see her efforts for the survival of mankind.

At this moment, Renee heard a voice that made her very familiar. That is Xiang Keping.

"Rennie, are you back? Don't tell me either."

Renee turned around and looked at Xiang Keping, who was wearing a neat dark blue suit, a pair of thin gold-framed glasses, and a hair wax comb on her head. The neatly scored Xiang Keping could not help but feel the changes brought by the years. Big.

"Xiang Keping, congratulations, you have been promoted to the post of Dean of the Research Institute."

Renee took out a bouquet of gladiolus, a specialty of the Wilderness Empire, from the mustard jade pendant and handed it to Xiang Keping with both hands.

Xiang Keping took the bouquet and said with a smile: "Thank you. I received a lot of flowers today, but I still love them the most."

Renee smiled slightly, and then heard Xiang Keping say: "This time you have traveled for a long time, and you have also purified a lot of land that was completely contaminated by the supernatural virus. I finally came back. It's better to stay in the underground city for a while. Don't travel this year."

"And Dr. Greg has also retired. If you accompany Dr., he will be very happy."

Renee nodded: "It has indeed been closed in recent years. I will stay in the underground city recently."

"Well, that's good. Come and sit here anytime you have time. The sky is big and the work is big, no matter how big your work is, you won't be able to come back again." Xiang Keping smiled heartily.

Renee smiled and joked: "Is this really good for Dr. Xiang Keping, who has just been promoted to the dean?"

"Of course, it can't be better. By the way, it's almost dinner time, or I invite you, let's talk?"

Renee politely rebuffed: "Sorry, I have an appointment tonight, so many people are waiting for me."

"Well then. Let's go back to the underground city together."

"Ok."

Renee followed Xiang Keping towards the entrance of the underground city~lightnovelpub.net~ At this time, a rush of northwest wind blew from behind her, blowing her cashmere scarf into the wind.

"Rennie, I can see your intentions. For 21 years, it has been."

Renee's pupils contracted, and she suddenly turned her head to look in the direction of the northwest wind, the wind blowing on her face, blowing her flowing golden hair. And the whisper that came into her ears through the sound of the wind, like this fleeting northwest wind, disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Renee, have you left something?"

Xiang Keping couldn't help asking when seeing Renee suddenly stopping and turning back.

Renee turned her head calmly and said with a smile: "It's nothing. Let's go, I'm hungry."

But what Renee said silently in her heart:

"I know, you will always be between this world and earth."?

PS: "Black Rider" is finally over. I coded 10,000 words in one day. I have a lot of emotion. I have time to share with you.
