Chapter 39: Ashes after the catastrophe

Although for safety reasons, Chen Xin should turn on the lights to illuminate

the road ahead, but considering that turning on the lights will expose his

presence, in order to reduce some unnecessary troubles, Chen Xin still

discredited driving and did not turn on Car lights.

Fortunately, although the sky was very dark, there was still a little bit of

sky light, allowing Chen Xin to see the road before him.

Chen Xin lives in the suburbs of the city. In places like the imperial capital

and the magic capital, it is called the urban-rural junction. However, the

city where Chen Xin is located is only a small southern city. It is not as

prosperous as the imperial capital and the magic capital. The place where he

lives is already barren. Ling, there are no more people, there are only a few

farmers living here, it is a small village.

Chen Xin also showed that the place was clean, so that he could write a book

by himself before moving out of the city and living here.

However, although the place is remote, in recent years, due to the

construction of the Yan State University, the site was selected nearby when

the high-speed railway station was built. The roads in this area have been

repaired well, so Chen Xin did not worry about obstacles on the road after he

drove out. Just drive along the road towards the city.

The road leading to the city is very empty, not like the streets full of

abandoned cars in European and American doomsday movies.

In fact, this is what the end should look like, because humans learned about

the meteorite impact three months in advance, and the state also evacuated

more than 80% of the country’s population into refuges in advance. Under such

circumstances, the streets were again Where is the abandoned car that can

block the road?

If there are really abandoned cars blocking the road, there is only one

possibility, it is a roadblock or a trap set by others.

There are no obstacles on the road leading to the city. Before the disaster,

every household had stopped going out. Naturally, there were no vehicles on

the road, and some were just a layer of gray.

The wheel ran over, leaving two ruts. Chen Xin looked at the gray covering the

surface of all objects, and his mood became very heavy.

Because these are the ashes left after the fire burned.

The road leading to the urban area originally had to cross a river. Although

the surrounding area cannot be regarded as beautiful, but it is also regarded

as green mountains and green water. After all, the city has always done a good

job in environmental protection and greening. It was once selected as a green

city.

But now all this is gone.

The green hills on both sides of the road have now become black, covered with

gray ashes, looking like snow falling on a pile of black coal, and some plant

remnants that have not been completely burned are like twisted weird Ghosts

are not only ugly but also frightening.

The river that originally separated the city from the outskirts has now dried

up and turned into a huge gully. Perhaps because of the existence of water,

the bottom of the river showed an ugly black and yellow color, just like the

one in World of Warcraft. The same as the famous death mark.

Chen Xin still has a deep memory of this river, because his family lived near

this river in the past. He used to enjoy the cool here in summer evenings, and

he also asked girls to take a walk here.

It’s just that now this river that was once built by the city government into

a park along the river can no longer see its original appearance. The wooden

walkway that the city government spent a lot of money to build is only a few

concrete piles.

Facing this kind of scenery, Chen Xin couldn't help slowing down, looking at

everything in front of him with some sadness.

The water in the river has evaporated to dryness, so how much scenery can be

left by the river? Although Chen Xin didn't get out of the car, he could guess

that under a fire of this scale, even the remaining cement piles and the

stones built up on the river bank would have been burned to a disastrous

appearance.

Fortunately, the bridge is still stable and has not been affected by the fire,

otherwise he would really not dare to enter the city from this road.

Entering the city, the scenery in the city is not much better than outside.

The former dense green belts on both sides of the road now only have cemented

flowerbeds and tree stumps that have not been completely burnt. Although the

buildings on the roadside are not damaged much, the original colorful

signboards burned nothing left. , It is true that even the iron frame has been

burnt.

Several shops that Chen Xin used to frequent before even burnt the rolling

shutters at the door, turning them into a scorched pool.

Looking at all of this, Chen Xin truly felt the end of the day, and he felt a

sense of trance like a world away.

The once prosperous streets, lively squares, tall buildings, colorful neon,

everything that was once familiar and accustomed to, is so vulnerable in the

face of a disaster.

is like a piece of exquisite porcelain, it looks so beautiful and beautiful,

but once it is pushed to the ground, it is a piece of debris.

In the past, Chen Xin had seen a lot of photos and documentaries about war-

torn regions when he was looking for materials to write novels. He had no real

sense that those once prosperous places became dilapidated after the war, but

now he is true and personally aware of what he once had. How precious is

everything that is accustomed to. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

But everything can't come back anymore. Humans want to rebuild the former

bustling streets, make the square lively again, re-decorate the city with

colorful neon lights, let everything destroyed by the disaster come back, and

rebuild our homeland, it takes at least a generation. It is possible to

rebuild his homeland on this scorched land of doomsday.

And it’s still the end of the world without changing the environment, but

unfortunately, in the years to come, the temperature will only become colder

and colder. Before the haze and darkness in the sky dissipate, the whole world

will It will be a huge ice cellar, which will seal everything with severe

cold.

It is extremely difficult for humans to rebuild their homes.

The cement may have turned into ice lumps before being stirred. The frozen

ground is harder than iron and can’t be dug. All surface water sources have

also been frozen...

Before this thick layer in the sky that completely covered the sun dissipated,

the earth was a huge ice cave. Whether human civilization can survive this

catastrophe is still unknown.

Rebuilding the homeland... I am afraid it will really become something that

you will never see in your lifetime.

But this has nothing to do with Chen Xin now. Although the disaster has come,

the real end has not yet come. It can be said that it is the last lingering

warmth before the cold night.

For the surviving humans, what should be done now is to step up the collection

of supplies, while strengthening the shelter while the weather has not

completely cooled down, to improve their chances of survival in the coming

extreme cold as much as possible.

Of course, for Chen Xin, who already has a safe and stable refuge and has also

found a survival system, how to survive is no longer his first priority.

How to make oneself live longer and better, this is what Chen Xin needs to

consider.
