Chapter 1：Lu Yin

Countless cracks spread out on the broken earth, black smoke obscured the remaining light of the setting sun, on the muddy road, countless people walked with difficulty, their faces covered with despair and fear, from time to time, some people fell into the cracks, and the cries never stopped.

The line of tens of thousands of people formed a long queue, on both sides, every distance there is a body strengthened warrior protection, this kind of person is known as evolutionary.

Ever since the sudden catastrophe on Earth half a year ago, evolvers had appeared one after another.

At the back of the team, Lu Yin raised his head to look into the distance, a numbing chewing sound could be heard in his ears, with a hiss, a mutant dog with scarlet eyes two metres long rushed out from behind a burning tree, blood flowing from the corners of its mouth and growling as it rushed towards the team.

Many survivors in the team screamed in horror at the sight, Lu Yin's eyes flinched, and he drew an odd weapon from his waist, it looked like an iron rod, but one side was sharpened like a blade.

Lu Yin jumped up and slashed with one hand, decapitating the mutant dog's head without any hindrance, blood sprayed on the ground, staining the grass red.

Seeing the death of the mutant dog, the team then quieted down and fearfully continued walking towards the front.

Lu Yin retrieved the iron rod and looked at it, there were a few cracks on it, "It looks like it won't be used for long." 

As the sun set and the land was plunged into darkness, all the evolvers lit flames and spread them all the way down the procession in a vain attempt to use this method to drive away the mutant beasts while the procession stopped moving forward.

Going to an unfamiliar place in the darkness was equal to seeking death.

A hoarse electric current sounded, and a voice came out from the walkie-talkie on Lu Yin's waist, "Evolvers with a tail number of three are searching for food, with a range of one kilometre in a circle."

Lu Yin's evolver codename was one hundred and three, raised his head, looked towards the decapitated mutant dog, picked it up and flung it to the front of the team, "Eat it."

A burst of clamour came out from within the team, followed by several men stepping forward to handle it, the way they had long been accustomed to, even if there were still remnants of human bones in the corners of that mutant dog's mouth.

A mutant dog was only enough for more than twenty people, Lu Yin walked out of the fire, gripped the iron rod tightly, and walked towards the distance.

The sound of chewing never stopped in his ears, in the darkness, a pair of eyes emitting green light stared at Lu Yin, these were mutant rats, the look was ugly but the meat was edible.

Lu Yin threw up his iron rod and smashed more than ten mutant rats to death, carrying and throwing them towards the team, he had enough on his side.

Suddenly there was a scream, Lu Yin didn't need to look to know that it was an evolved person who died, he didn't intend to save it, who knows what attacked the evolved person, maybe it was a highly poisonous snake, a blood sucking mosquito, or a powerful mutant rat that could bite steel, these creatures weren't hard to come across in the wild.

The group was quiet, everyone hid behind the flames, as if a thin layer of flames could really protect them.

Lu Yin looked at these people with pity, then looked up at the sky, the stars were so bright and clear, the once polluted air had been completely restored half a year ago, and along with it, countless creatures had mutated, including humans themselves.

No one knows what that mutation was due to, as if overnight, the creatures all became terrifying, and many of them turned into walking corpses, devoid of reason, devouring living things everywhere, such people are called zombies.

The remaining survivors' bodies became a little stronger, although the change was not big, but they could become stronger by swallowing the crystals inside the bodies of the mutated creatures, these were the evolvers.

The Earth seemed to have returned to the ancient times overnight, the weak were the strongest, the huge arsenal of weapons that once ruled the Earth were almost all destroyed, Lu Yin saw with his own eyes the arsenal in his city explode, as if those modern weapons were not allowed in today's times.

Gusty wind blew across the ground, and the blood-stained newspaper was pressed down by the stones, making a soughing sound.

Lu Yin picked up the newspaper and looked at the headline '3rd February 2200, a day that will go down in history, on that day, the Chinese Sky 5 logged on to Neptune, Bai Shao became the first astronaut from Earth to explore Neptune, which is a gaseous planet, on that day...', Lu Yin threw away the newspaper, and a little girl carefully handed him a piece of roasted beast leg.

Lu Yin took the leg and smiled lightly, ''Thank you.''

The little girl smiled coyly and ran back to the group.

The leg was very hard to eat, although it was seasoned, it was still very hard to eat, but Lu Yin ate it with great satisfaction, only when he was full would he have the strength.

The flames suddenly fluctuated, Lu Yin fiercely drew out his iron rod and smashed it down hard, smashing a mutant praying mantis that had passed through the flames to death, this kind of mutant praying mantis would cause very large casualties once it rushed into the team, the pair of blades reflected red light, no worse than Lu Yin's iron rod.

During the night, Lu Yin only rested for two hours, and during that time, killed more than a dozen mutant creatures that were trying to storm the team.

There weren't many casualties on his side, but the other sections were a different story, one section of the survivors along with the evolvers had dozens of people killed, massacred by a huge mutated boar that could fire its hard bristles, a single round of attack could take away quite a number of people's lives, and if it wasn't for a few of the more powerful evolvers making a move, the casualties would have been even higher.

As the sun rose, the team continued to move towards the south, they were going to Jinling, to that largest gathering place in the land of Su Province, where there was an army, many evolvers, and Zhou Shan, who was known as the Criminal Saint of Huaxia.

The half-yearly apocalyptic calamity had given birth to quite a few evolvers, and even more so to the supreme powerhouses known as the Seven Saints.

Nowadays, although the information is not smooth, it is still possible to contact each other, not long ago, the evolvers were clearly divided into levels, which are the ordinary evolvers who just swallowed the crystals, the human level powerhouses who have the power to crush the ordinary evolvers, and then above that are the powerhouses who have the power to destroy the cities, and are known as the earth shaking level powerhouses, which can be called the earth level as well.

At the very top were the Flying Sky level powerhouses, which, as the name suggests, could fly in the sky, and were also known as Heaven level powerhouses, and the Seven Saints of Huaxia, were the seven Heaven level powerhouses.

Doomsday half a year, can only be so divided, perhaps another period of time will have a more systematic division, but those seven can fly to the sky of the strong, as long as they do not die, will always stand at the top, this is also the origin of the word saint, perhaps it may also be the countless survivors look forward to their protection, and so it is called a saint.

The Jinling Gathering Place, possessed a Saint, the Criminal Saint Zhou Shan.

The procession continued to advance, they were still more than a hundred kilometres away from Jinling, a journey of a few hours in the peace era, in today's world, it would take at least several days.

A few miles away from the long line of the team, countless wandering zombies slowly approached, as if they smelled something alive.

The evolvers on both sides of the team were on tense alert, many of them had fearful gazes, although these zombies were not fast, they were very strong, and their blood contained a strong poison, once they touched even the evolvers would have their skin ulcerated until their sanity disappeared, and they would become the same as they were, which was the most horrifying of all.

Lu Yin's eyes narrowed, gripping the iron rod tightly, fighting with zombies is not difficult, they will always be that way, unlike evolvers who can become stronger, and this is what countless survivors are thankful for, if zombies could also become stronger, they would really have no way to live.

The current biggest enemy of the survivors was the mutant beasts.

Just as Lu Yin and the others were preparing to fight the corpses, the zombies suddenly paused and then turned around, Lu Yin's heart jumped and a bad feeling welled up.

The ground suddenly shook, in front of the team, a huge vine rose up from the ground, its branches and leaves were like having spirituality to grab a lot of survivors, with the wails of despair, all the survivors that were grabbed were crushed into blood and water, and poured into the soil where the vine was rooted.

All the survivors fled in fear, even quite a few evolvers.

Lu Yin's eyelids jumped straight up, this mutated vine had definitely reached the Earth level, it was not comparable to ordinary evolvers, even if there were human level powerhouses in their team.

The evolvers in the team did not plan to fight hard at all, and all of them fled to the back, avoiding the range of the vine.

After a while, the vines shrank back into the ground as if they were full.

Countless survivors cried out in pain and despair, many people would have a mental breakdown in this environment, even some of the evolvers.

Soon, a hoarse electric current sound came from the waist, and a voice came out from the intercom, "Rest in place, the Criminal Saint will personally come to pick us up".

Upon hearing this news, countless people cheered, to the survivors today, heaven level powerhouses were like gods, as if anything could be solved as long as a heaven level powerhouse appeared.

Lu Yin's face showed mockery, Saint? He covered his left arm with one hand, until now, half of his body was still in pain, a piercing pain that seemed to forever remind him of that night.

An entire city was abandoned, all the undestroyed heat weapons were declared into the city, wailing all over the place, half of his own body was incinerated, and what he saw when he turned around was that pair of towering eyes and piercing golden light.

Liu Shaoge, he could never forget that man known as the Saint of Light, one of the Seven Saints, letting him experience extreme pain, a pain that Lu Yin vowed to absolutely repay tenfold.

As the flames rose, the sky became dark, Lu Yin was about to rest when screams and cries came from not far away.

Lu Yin frowned and turned his head to look, a hundred metres away, several girls were surrounded by more than a dozen evolvers, wantonly laughing and joking, and several of them had only a little bit of their clothes left on, shedding silent tears.

This scene is not unfamiliar, doomsday calamity, human nature sinks, it is normal, Lu Yin has seen it quite a few times, how can I put it, wanting to be protected in this kind of environment, it is impossible without paying a small price.

Lu Yin closed his eyes, his spirit slowed down slightly.

In the distance, a young girl screamed and was slapped on the ground, "Damn, I don't want to protect you guys, what's wrong with playing, don't give face to face, two days ago there was a small starlet that was played by the old man, and now begging the old man to play with the old man is not playing, get up".

The young girl indignantly glared at the evolutionists, her eyes red.

Around the evolutionists grinned widely, they like this era, they can play recklessly, no one can care about them.

A gust of wind blew, the evolver's eyes appeared in front of an additional person, it was Lu Yin, at this moment, Lu Yin's hand iron stick on the evolver's neck, faintly said "roll".

The surrounding area was silent, only the girls were crying silently.

The face of the Evolutionary who was threatened by Lu Yin was extremely ugly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Surname Lu, this matter has nothing to do with you, they are under my protection."

"You've disturbed me" Lu Yin said indifferently, the sharp side of the iron rod pressed down, immediately, the evolver's skin cracked and blood flowed down the iron rod.

The evolver was horrified, "Good, good, you're ruthless, they're yours, I won't move."

Lu Yin put away the iron rod and indifferently walked back to his original position, many people within the team quietly watched the scene, they had long been used to it, even when those young girls were just killed no one helped, Lu Yin looked strange to them.

The dozen or so evolvers looked at each other angrily, but didn't move, Lu Yin, was very strong, they knew that.

The girls ran behind Lu Yin and tried to say something, but Lu Yin closed his eyes and ignored them, so they could only look at Lu Yin gratefully and sat down carefully.

After a short while, a young woman with a voluptuous appearance and revealing clothes came to Lu Yin's side with a smile, her stern gaze swept over those few young girls, scaring them so much that they immediately stepped back and bowed their heads in fear.

Only then was the voluptuous woman satisfied, sitting on Lu Yin's side and blowing into his ear.

Lu Yin raised his hand and pinched the woman's neck, opened his eyes and said in a cold voice, "The next time, die."

The gorgeous woman's gaze was grim, barely revealing a winking smile, "You're still so heartless."

Lu Yin let go of his hand, coldly staring at the woman, "What is it?" .

The woman rubbed her neck and blankly glanced at Lu Yin, "Do you know that you have offended someone?"

Lu Yin did not reply.

The woman continued, "Zhang Tong's men are plotting against you, they have more than ten Evolutionaries, you are only one person, you can't deal with them, be careful."

"Thank you," Lu Yin faintly replied.
