Life in the collapsed world from scratch

After hesitating for a moment, Cheng Xi gave up the dangerous idea of ​​touching the switch.

He is still afraid of death.

It's okay to succeed, but if you fail, you will start your life again. Normal people would not want to do such a thing.

"Let's go back."

Somewhat disappointed, he glanced at the unresponsive pale golden mark, Cheng Xi decided to finish his work before the sky completely darkened, and then go back to sleep.

More than a month has passed, and the pain caused by the accident to the small town seems to have been forgotten, and people have resumed their normal lives. Even those families who lost their family members seem to accept the reality in grief. It's been a long time since anyone mentioned the children who were taken away.

Time will heal all pain, this sentence is really true.

It's only a month, isn't it a bit too fast?

Cheng Xi stood in front of the window, silently looking at the passers-by outside and thinking.

"……Go to sleep."

He took one last glance out of the window, then turned and drew the curtains.

……

That night, Cheng Xi had a dream.

In the dream, he couldn't see anything clearly, his sight seemed to be shrouded in a black mist, and the voice in his ears was also blurred, everything was unknown to him.

But this dream was not scary, because in the dream, two figures, one big and one small, were always by his side, like two warm suns, dispelling the darkness and coldness around him.

But after a while, the big figure left, leaving only the small figure to shoulder everything alone.

After a while, that little figure also disappeared, and the icy darkness enveloped him again...

……

When Cheng Xi opened his eyes again, the sky outside the window was completely bright.He sat up and looked at the palm of his hand, feeling a faint sense of loss in his heart.

He has no memory of being with the mother and daughter, so the scene in the dream should only be created by his subconscious mind based on the memories he usually heard.

Even though he knew this, he still felt uncomfortable.

Turning on the radio by the bed, the noise of "Zizi" dilutes the dull atmosphere a bit.

"Zizi... the current time is 2000 o'clock in the morning on February 2, 7, welcome to listen to today's news on the hour..."

A familiar voice came from the radio as usual, Cheng Xi was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the calendar hanging by the door.

"Is it already February 2th?"

Calculating the time, it should be the Spring Festival over there now, right?

pity……

Cheng Xi sighed and got off the bed.

"On February 2, a large-scale nuclear leak occurred in the Siberian Plain. After organizing the evacuation of the people, the local government blocked the traffic of 3 kilometers around the nuclear power plant..."

The first news that came out of the radio stopped the movements of Cheng Xi's hands, and he froze in place.

"A nuclear power plant accident?"

When it comes to the nuclear power plant accident near Siberia, the first thing that comes to Cheng Xi's mind is a terrible term.

— Chernobyl.

That horrific accident directly and indirectly caused hundreds of thousands of casualties, tens of thousands of square kilometers of land was polluted, and millions of people were exposed to varying degrees of radiation damage, leaving the world with pain that cannot be healed.

But no, neither the time nor the specific location is right. Cheng Xi from "Future" has never heard of a nuclear leak in 2000 that was so severe that it required the evacuation of tens of kilometers of people.

There was a bad premonition in his heart, the process of "history" and the memory diverged, which was not a very good omen.

With the first time there will be the second time... the third time...

Similar situations will certainly occur in the future, which means that a large part of his "future" memories may not be useful.

Just when Cheng Xi lowered his head and thought about what he should do in the future, a strong earthquake suddenly swept over, and the whole house shook violently.

The radio seemed to be jammed, and the sound inside became a staccato cacophony.

Unprepared, Cheng Xi fell to the ground, the dust kept shaking from the roof, and the unfixed furniture fell down one after another.

Fortunately, there were not many things in the room, and the house was strong enough that no heavy objects fell on him.

After more than ten seconds, the vibration disappeared, and Cheng Xi got up from the ground clutching his buttocks, frowning and looking at the messy room:

"earthquake?"

"Zizi..."

As the vibration disappeared, the radio returned to normal, and the host's panicked voice came from inside:

"I received an emergency notification. Just 2 minutes ago, the Volga Basin was hit by a small meteorite. The death toll is estimated to exceed 3000 million..."

Cheng Xi's mind buzzed, and he opened his eyes wide in disbelief and looked at the radio.

"The latest news... Another meteorite fell into the Mariana Trench, and there will be an unprecedented huge tsunami along the western Pacific coast..."

"Cities in North America were hit by meteorites, and the message was completely interrupted. Casualties are currently unknown..."

In less than a minute, one piece of news from the radio was like a heavy hammer, smashing his fake peaceful daily life for more than a month to pieces.

"Siberian Plains... Massive 'Nuclear Leakage' Accident... Meteorite Attack... Tens of Millions Dead..."

Cheng Xi bit her finger and connected these pieces of information together in her mind.

No need to think too much, he already knew which world he came to.

Cheng Xi's face was a little ugly, and he squeezed out a noun from between his teeth:

"Broken...".

Chapter 3 Tearing Human Hearts

At the end of the [-]th century, a tower of steel, the Babylonian Laboratory, stood on the snowy plains of Siberia.

As the world's largest Honkai research facility outside the Destiny Headquarters, it has high expectations from everyone.

The Babylon Laboratory is mainly divided into three departments, the first of which is the Advanced Systems Department, which is a medical organization for the treatment of Honkai energy diseases.

Of course, this is just a disguise on the surface. The real work of this department is actually to study the technology of combining Honkai Energy with the human body - to put it bluntly, it is the human body experiment of Honkai Energy.

Don't expect the researchers to be gentle with their subjects. Maybe they may have a little pity at first, but as the experiment progresses, after seeing various failures and deaths, the death of the experimental subjects is very important to them. It becomes a number on the loss list.

The so-called hope of all mankind, under the glamorous shell, is piled up with corpses.

And in the end they paid the price for what they did.

Under the double torture of body and mind brought about by the cruel experiments in the dark and the successive tragic deaths of his companions, the Second Herrscher was born with a strong hatred for the destiny.

After massacring the researchers in the Babylonian laboratory, under the influence of "Honkai", the hatred for the destiny in the second herrscher's heart quickly evolved into hatred for all human beings, and after gaining new power Humans soon retaliated.

Those few meteorites that fell from the sky are one of her "masterpieces".

……

After learning the key information of "Hengkai", all the information he knew about this world immediately appeared in Cheng Xi's mind.

Everything is connected in series. What happened in the Siberian Snowfield was not a nuclear leak accident at all, but the Honkai energy pollution caused by the birth of Herrscher.The group of outsiders who broke into the town were the researchers of the Babylon laboratory.

And the girl named "Sirin" should be the herrsrscher of the void who created the second collapse of this era in the original book——Sirin.

"Did you come face-to-face with the larvae of the big boss?"

Cheng Xi stroked his forehead, thinking that the kind girl in his memory had now stood on the opposite side of human beings and become the culprit who killed tens of millions of people. He felt very uncomfortable.

There is another thing that makes him a little concerned. I wonder if it's because of his misremembering. It seems that there is a slight deviation between his previous experience and the "original work" in his memory?

"Now is not the time to think about these things."

He let out a long breath, put these messy thoughts aside, walked quickly to the cabinet and began to pack his things.

If he remembered correctly, the meteorite attack was just a prelude. After killing the First Herrscher on the moon and gaining the power of the Herrscher of Reason, Sirin would lead her "subordinates" to counterattack the earth.

At that time, 50 Honkai beasts will appear on the Siberian plain like a tide, and the final survivors will not exceed three figures.

Not to mention that before the final general offensive, Mandate of Heaven directly emptied the missile depot in order to eliminate these huge numbers of Honkai Beasts, and the rain of missiles carried out carpet bombing on most of the Siberian Plain.

Cheng Xi didn't think he could survive such a situation.

There is no time to delay, we must get out of here as soon as possible!

Quickly packed the necessary luggage, Cheng Xi turned her head and took a last look at the house where she had lived for more than two months, closed the door gently, turned and left.

……

Four days later, the destiny headquarters floated on the island.

"My lord, a strong Houkai energy reaction was detected on the top of the Babylon laboratory tower, and the source of the reaction is preliminarily inferred to be the Second Herrscher."

A woman wearing a black teaching uniform and braided white hair stood beside Otto, projecting the information in her hands onto the giant light screen in the center of the war room.

In the center of the screen, representing the top of the highest tower of the Babylon laboratory, two red dots, one large and one small, flashed.

"Come back so soon? It seems that the Second Herrscher is more impatient than I imagined..."

Otto folded his hands on his chest, and said in a leisurely manner. There was no trace of worry or anxiety in his tone. Instead, he looked at the flickering dots of light on the screen with inexplicable expectations:

"So, the Second Herrscher, you who have obtained the core of the First Herrscher, what will you do next?"

Let me wait and see.

"Wait, my lord bishop!"

Seeming to have discovered something unusual, Amber exclaimed, "The reaction of the Second Herrscher suddenly disappeared?"

……

In a small border town on the Siberian Plain, the noisy streets were now empty.The uncleaned streets are full of abandoned clothes and luggage. Some houses even have their doors open, but there is no one in them.

Two days ago, the government issued an emergency evacuation order, ordering every resident in the town to abandon unnecessary luggage and leave the town as soon as possible.

No one doubted the seriousness of the incident. Many people came from the Chernobyl era, and this deja vu scene immediately awakened the gloomy memories in their hearts.

Without further explanation, people immediately packed their bags and fled the town.

As for those who refuse to leave even if they die?Then let them die, no one can control them at this time.
