NOVEL WEB Chapter 270
: The Haze of the Doomsday
It is 10 o’clock on August 1, 235 of the Federation Calendar.
Over Kyoto City.
Heavy clouds came from afar, covering half of the sky.
The eighth-level battleship has been hidden in the sky. Since the end of the war two days ago, his eighth-level battleship has been hovering here, invisible, and only occasionally rushes out to hunt mutant creatures and harvest energy points.
The royal castle is located in the center of Kyoto.
Once the situation changes, he can rush out immediately.
Because in these days, the military troops in the Kyoto area are attacking from all sides to regain the entire Kyoto area, driving the four previously arrogant resurgent civilizations into retreat, and a large number of survivors have been rescued.
But the entire Kyoto area is still in a desolate scene.
The population of the ruins of Kyoto City was even more than twice that of Fengtian City before the end, but now, most of the place is scorched earth, and there are not many mutant creatures left. Instead, there are a group of survivors who have been displaced here.
They were all slaves who had been captured by the Strem civilization before, or even surrendered voluntarily.
Under the high-pressure rule of the Strem civilization, the past week or so has been a nightmare for them. It is a life that modern people cannot imagine.
In this area, the survivors have gathered together and formed a small camp.
Wang Cheng was walking in this camp today.
Shu Bing followed him.
Although it is a camp, the environment here is actually very bad. Everyone is hiding among the dilapidated buildings.
Some people were even fighting desperately for a pack of biscuits, constantly fighting for it, and getting bloody…
When they saw outsiders appearing, they all looked at Shu Bing and Wang Cheng warily, as if they were afraid that they would also Join in the fun of scrambling.
They were surprised and grateful to the huge unknown spacecraft that saved them from fire and water, but they did not know who the owner of the spacecraft was, and in their eyes, the spacecraft that fell into optical invisibility had long since disappeared and driven away, leaving only war. of haze.
Although the abandoned urban area of Kyoto is relatively safe, the current threat to these ordinary survivors is not an external threat.
“I remember, didn’t the military send a batch of supplies yesterday? Why is it still like this here? They were fighting so hard that even that pack of biscuits might not be enough for them to bleed.” Shu Bing frowned and asked
. .
Wang Cheng slowly lifted up the corner of his clothes, revealing the unusual-looking laser gun on his waist. The group of people fighting for it were frightened and ran to deeper corners of the ruins, but their eyes were still fixed on each other. Obviously, when they were far away, Without Wang Cheng and others, they will continue to fight for it.
Wang Cheng thought of the brief doomsday experience he had before his rebirth.
That is the real life of ordinary survivors in the apocalypse.
And this scene now is like that.
He replied softly: “The military is also short of supplies, and they don’t have the manpower to count how many survivors are here. They only sent a few people two days ago. The survivors here haven’t even been collected. How can it be possible for everyone to count them?” It’s okay to eat enough and bleed a little. If you don’t have food, you won’t have the strength, and if you don’t have the strength, you won’t be able to grab food. It’s a vicious cycle, and you will definitely die in the end. So, do you think it’s worth it for this pack of biscuits?” Shu Bing said with some surprise
. Look towards the royal city.
“You have been in the army, so you can’t see this.”
Wang Cheng retracted his gaze and walked forward. His voice was light: “We are all working hard for the survival of mankind, but in this era, no one can let Everyone is living well. The Federation does not have this ability, and neither do we. What we can do is to prevent those alien races from trampling on this place and not massacring them, that’s all, because even we have to bear tremendous pressure. How and how ordinary survivors live can only depend on themselves for the time being. The more stalemate the battlefield and the more evenly matched the war, the more so.” “I understand this truth. If mankind does not perish, at least everyone can survive
. In this space, if humanity were to perish, no one would be able to survive under the iron hooves of the alien race, but I didn’t expect that the lives of the survivors at the bottom would be so bad. The fighting here is too fierce, and the living environment of the survivors is far inferior to that of Fengtian.” Shu. There was a trace of pity in Bing’s eyes, but she didn’t do anything because she knew it was meaningless.
“Yes, this is now a place where rapids converge. Yesterday, I also received information from Base No. 1. Currently, many resurgent civilizations in the Beijing-Tianjin Wing area have made changes. The victory in the Kyoto area exceeded their expectations. Their next reaction will be extremely violent. We humans have a home field advantage. They can tolerate each other developing together as resurgent civilizations, but they cannot watch us grow stronger…” Wang Cheng’s voice suddenly stopped
here, and his footsteps also stopped. Paused.

Because they were turning a corner, and in the shadow of this street, a group of survivors were stewing a pot of something.
There were seven or eight people in this group, gathered around a homemade iron pot, using scraps picked up everywhere as firewood, stewing in clear water, with pieces of meat tumbling in it, and several people had fiery looks in their eyes.
They were obviously better than the group of survivors Wang Cheng and the others had just encountered. They were fairly neatly dressed and had a few guns. When they saw the two Wang Cheng people appearing, they did not hide, but stood up vigilantly.
Wang Cheng fired his gun again, and the group’s vigilance turned into fear.
The leader said politely but vigilantly: “Brother, this is our meat. If you want to eat it, you have to exchange it with something.”
Wang Cheng stared at the pieces of meat surging in the pot and said, “Is that a human?
” The man shook his head: “They are the bastards of Strem Civilization – we don’t eat people.”
The coldness in Wang Cheng’s eyes faded slightly.
Cannibalism is the bottom line that he cannot accept, and no matter how insufficient the military’s supplies are, it will never reach that point.
Shu Bing looked surprised: “They…you eat them too?”
She thought of the disgusting and ugly appearance of the life of the Strem civilization she had seen.
And most importantly, they are also intelligent creatures.
“Why can’t you eat it? Are you from Kyoto?”
“They are outsiders!”
The leader looked at Wang Cheng and Shu Bing, who were very well-dressed compared to them: “Are you from the military? If so , I can give you a bowl of broth for free, thank you for saving us.”
Shu Bing and Wang Cheng looked at each other: “Of course we are, but the broth is not necessary – can you really eat it?”
” Of course.” After hearing that they were from the military in Wangcheng, these survivors obviously relaxed a little. Of course, perhaps they saw their resistance to the broth of Strem’s civilized creatures. The leader exhaled and said Kuai gritted his teeth and said: “They ate my wife in front of me, tore off her intestines and legs, and tore them apart piece by piece. Why can’t we eat them? Even if there is food, I will eat them… …”
His voice filled with hatred seemed to also evoke the painful memories of other people around him. These people spoke one after another with anger and extreme hatred of the same enemy.
“That’s right, these bastards, we were treated like beasts by them before. If we can’t kill them with our own hands, we have to eat them back. Damn…” ”
These damn dwarf bastards!”
In the corner, there was even a man wearing a The gentle man with glasses with half of the lens left looked like a teacher or scholar. When talking about the creatures of Strem civilization, his eyes were also fierce. What was reflected in the glasses was the almost crazy look in his pupils. Hatred, he even took the initiative to speak to Wang Cheng and Shu Bing: “Have a bowl and you can taste what they taste like. I don’t want your supplies. This is our gratitude to you. Without you, I’m afraid not only would we not be able to repay Qiu, I will be eaten by those dwarf bastards.”
The leading man said excitedly: “I heard that the spaceship that killed those bastards that day was our battleship. It was extremely advanced and beat the shit out of those bastards’ motherships. , is this true? Do we really have such a powerful spaceship? Are we going to win? You must kill all those bastards.” Seeing this
scene, both Wang Cheng and Shu Bing fell silent.
Such a scene was actually something that even Wang Cheng had not expected.
In fact, there are many such situations. The royal city attacked the battlefield and killed a large number of Strem civilization creatures, but he was not interested in the corpses of these aliens. He basically just bombed them and left. I never thought that someone would dig out their corpses and turn them into food.
Along the way, there are many similar situations. Although many survivors are fighting with each other, some survivors, even family members and friends, will fight over a pack of biscuits or bread. But when it comes to those alien civilizations, most of them are full of hatred. However, there are also some who are infinitely fearful and pessimistic. They do not believe that mankind can win. They have been completely defeated by this bad era. They huddle in the shadows in despair and tell everyone the fear in their hearts.
Wang Cheng and Shu Bing passed by, and there was even a woman with disheveled hair saying to them: “Run, run, we humans can’t win. Sooner or later, our battleships will be knocked down by them. The future world will be a world of alien civilization. We humans The era of Japan has ended. Even if Kyoto wins today, it will be too late for other places. People from those alien civilizations are killing people everywhere and hiding in uninhabited places. They can live one day at a time, and they can survive at any time! ”
While the joy of the Battle of Kyoto is spreading across the land, the haze of the doomsday has never been eliminated.
Along the way, Wang Cheng and Shu Bing had a strange feeling.
Today, Wang Cheng took the initiative to come down for a walk. He wanted to see how this once prosperous city and the survivors here were doing now, but he did not expect to see such a scene.
Hatred and anger, despair and sadness seem to have become the themes of this world.
Shu Bing said softly: “If we hadn’t defended Fengtian before, maybe the Fengtian survivor base would be like this now.”
