1, the last man
The whole world is gray, and you can hardly see any bright colors at a glance.
If it were just one place, it might not be a big deal, but now the whole earth is like this.
The sun is still in the sky, but its originally bright red color now passes through the gray-black sky, and finally there is only a faint light gray round shadow left.
If there were still plants on the earth, they would definitely die in large areas because of the sunlight. Fortunately, all the plants of various types had long been extinct.
No, they have not yet completely extinct. On this tallest mountain on the earth, there is a small piece of grass as big as a fingernail.
This grass was a very large and very inconspicuous grass before the end of the world. It was often used to lay lawns and was seen everywhere, but not many people knew what its name was. People were used to trampling them under their feet, but never paid attention to them.
But now, it has become the last plant on the earth, packed in a beautiful transparent crystal bottle, stretching its body to bring the last hint of green to the world.
A man in a thick black robe cherishes and values it and holds the crystal bottle in his arms, bringing warmth to the plants inside, and basking in the sun with it while standing closest to the sun. Looking at it, it looks like he is looking at the most precious thing in the world.
It is indeed very precious, because those plants that are far more beautiful than it and far taller than it have mutated or died.
The man in a black robe stood quietly in the highest place in the world. He wrapped himself in black cloth and gave him a lifeless feeling just like this world. However, the surroundings of his body were very clean, and the gray mist rolled endlessly, but he could not break through to within one meter of his body, as if he was completely blocked by a transparent cover.
It is indeed a cover, or domain, which can only be owned by those with level seven or above superpowers.
The man in black robe stood there for a long time, staring at the crystal bottle in his hand motionlessly, until some movement came from below, he finally turned his neck and looked away.
A bright red blew away the gray fog and ran towards the man in black. There were many black plants around the man attacking him, but they were all pushed away by the fiery red areas around him. Not only did he not hurt him, but he could not even slow down his speed.
Several layers of waves swayed in the field around the black-robed man, and the next second, the black plants instantly retreated.
"Master, I'm back." The man with his hair short at will, his chin had a lot of beards but full of mature charm supported his territory to the man in black. The clothes he was wearing were torn and looked a little embarrassed, but he was carefully protecting something in his arms.
The man in black ignored him, turned his head and looked at the crystal bottle in his hand.
"Master, I found some food!" The man in the red field, or the fire field, did not care about the indifference of the man in the black robe at all. He sat down next to the man in the black robe, letting the two of them be together, and then took out the things in his arms. They were several cans, which were produced by some bases after the end of the world, but those bases with the ability to produce had disappeared for at least five years, and these cans must have expired.
"These cans are well kept by others. Although they are expired, they are still edible." He used the fire-type domain to protect himself from being infected by the gray fog around him. The fire-type supernatural person stretched out his dry and cracked hands to hold the cans, trying to put them into the black-robed man's realm, but suddenly found that his hand could not be reached, and a little gloomy appeared on his face.
"You eat." The man in black robe finally spoke. His voice was hoarse, but he had a strange charm.
"I've eaten it." The fire-type psychic smiled and said, "You eat a little." He said, and then he opened a can, and his expression quickly became stiff - there was only a black ball left in the can.
Obviously, this can has been contaminated with those damn black substances.
The fire-type psychic genius had long been accustomed to encountering such things. After a moment of pause, he started to open the cans below. It was not until he brought him to open all the cans, and finally found a complete one: "I just said, how could the cans I made from the lab with layers of protection be broken."
He smiled freely and then brought the only can of food to the man in black robe.
"One person, half." The man in black robe said concisely.
The fire-type superpower did not object, but smiled and said, "Okay, but I have eaten it, so I can put that half of it later."
The man in black robe stared at the fire-type superpower for a while, and finally ate half a can of food under the expectant gaze of the fire-type superpower. Although the can was not contaminated, it had expired and the taste was terrible. However, the man in black robe had long been used to eating all kinds of disgusting foods, so he ate the food without changing his face, and then gave the remaining half to the man.
"I'm almost out of strength to expand the domain, so let it go to you." said the fire psychic, narrowing his domain and approaching the black-robed man's domain.
The man in black robe looked at him for a while, and the field suddenly magnified a little, encompassing him.
The fire-type superpower showed joy on his face, and sat next to the man in black robe: "Master, you are the best for me."
The man in black robe didn't say anything again this time, and the fire-type superpower was not concerned, and said again: "Master, you should sit down too, aren't you tired of standing there?"
The man in black robe sat down slowly, and the fire-type superpower showed joy and leaned on the man in black robe quickly. At the same time, he also said more: "Master, we two are really amazing. Now we are two people who have lived to the end. Those people called us unlucky to die, but they all died and we are still alive."
The fire-type superpowers did not expect their words to get a response from the man in black, but the man in black responded: "Yeah."
Hearing this response, a smile appeared on the face of the fire psychic, and he suddenly said, "Qi Jingchen, I am really happy to know you."
The man in black robe hasn't heard someone call him his name for a long time, but he still has no reaction at all.
"Qi Jingchen, now there are only two of us left in this world. If we don't talk, it will be too deserted. Tell me." The fire-type supernatural psychic said again. He used to respectfully call the man in black robe "Master" but now he calls his name one after another.
"What did you say?" asked the man in black.
"Do you still remember my name? Call me a few times and let me listen." The fire-type supernatural psychic smiled.
The man in black robe turned around and looked at the fire-type supernatural person, and then a hoarse voice rang: "Nie Yi."
"Qi Jingchen, why did this world become like this? If I had known that this world would become like this, I would have enjoyed my life well at the beginning and would never work overtime every day to make the company bigger."
"Well, I can't say that. If I hadn't worked hard enough, I wouldn't have lived now. Now I've made myself the second place in the world."
"I'm really happy to know you. At that time, I thought I was going to die. You saved me..." Nie Yi said in a nagging manner. The color of the gray fog around them had become darker and deeper, and now it has become a black piece - the sun... has set.
"You saved me." said the man in black.
"If I didn't save you at that time, you might not die, but if you didn't save me, I would really die. At that time, I had nothing... When you saved me, I thought, there are still good people in this world, and I must not let you die." Nie Yi said.
The man in black robe was silent.
"Qi Jingchen, please talk to me about your life before the end of the world. I have told you all about me. Should you also tell me about your affairs?" Nie Yi said with a smile.
Now the sky is completely dark, but Nie Yi is the person most familiar to the man in black robe. He can imagine that Nie Yi’s current expression just by imagination.
He was silent for a while and suddenly said, "I have nothing to say about my past."
"Why is there nothing to say? I really want to know!" Nie Yi smiled a big smile in the dark - he is the only one who knows what the strongest man on the whole earth is named and what he looks like. This feeling is really great. Unfortunately, he still doesn't understand Qi Jingchen's past.
The man in black robe was silent for a while and suddenly said: "My parents divorced when I was very young. Both of them didn't want me, so my grandparents adopted me to a family in the village with the surname Qi..."
The man in black robe has never liked to talk about his life experience with others. After the end of the world came, he was even reluctant to tell others his name again. But at this time, he slowly told all his experiences, and the pain and despair he had experienced were also spoken out.
He was recognized as the most evil person in the world after the arrival of the end of the world. The most widely circulated thing he had done was to attract zombies to destroy a large security base, and then kill nearly half of the masters of human beings overnight.
After doing the past two years, he once stood opposite to all humans. Countless people killed him quickly, but his strength was too strong, and his superpowers could still completely ignore zombie attacks and even control the dark abilities of low-level zombies. Therefore, no one could hurt him at all. Later, many people even gathered around him for their strength, safety, or for their families. At that time, he was really very, very lively.
Unfortunately, in the end, he and Nie Yi were the only ones left.
When all animals become zombies that lose their minds and only know how to attack, when all plants are no longer green but strangely black with toxins, when no one in this world can produce clean water except for water-based psychics above level 5... How can humans survive?
It’s really not that good to see that there are fewer and fewer people around you, and it’s really not that good to see every piece of land in this world being stained with black.
He is very strong and can always hold the energy cover and block all the dark energy outside, but only a small piece of it can be maintained.
Before, in order to keep some vitality, he had been in one place for a long time, and then planted flowers and plants around him. But later, after the strongest man standing opposite him had a suicide attack on him, everything was ruined.
Now he was left with the grass in his hand, and only Nie Yi was left with the people around him.
Even Nie Yi will die sooner or later...
The man in black robe closed his mouth, and the people around him were leaning against him, and he had already... no longer breathed.
When everything is contaminated, the only place where you can save some food is probably the research rooms in large safety areas. How could there be no powerful zombies in that place?
He can control zombies, but it is limited to low-level ones. Those powerful zombies will also hurt him. How could Nie Yi not pay the price when he faces them?
The man in black robe touched the man on his body and indeed touched several huge wounds on the other party's back.
When Nie Yi first came, he had not noticed 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. When he reached this point, he was just a dead person. What's the difference between saying or not? And he had no way to save Nie Yi at all.
Nie Yi probably knew this and asked him so much...but, before he could finish speaking, Nie Yi died.
In fact, he thought it was good to know Nie Yi. If it weren't for Nie Yi, he would probably die after taking revenge.
Living really means nothing.
However, Nie Yi wanted to keep him alive, so he left him half a can.
The man in black robe moved Nie Yi's body, placed it on his legs, and then used his own domain to keep Nie Yi's protection airtight - this man would not turn into a zombie because of the dark energy outside...
Two days later, the man in black robes ate the remaining half of the canned food that tasted more disgusting, and then drank a little water Nie Yi had prepared with his water powers.
Ten days later, the man in black robe poured a little water into the crystal bottle in his hand, and then completely sealed the crystal bottle.
"I'm going to die. I hope you can live a few more days... although it's very difficult..." The man in black robe used his thin, almost covered with skinny hands on his bones to put the crystal bottle on the ground, and slowly closed his eyes.
Almost not long after, the grass in the crystal bottle withered.
After the end of the world came, many scientists wanted to create a closed ecosystem for humans to survive, but they all failed. How could the grass in the crystal bottle survive?
