Chapter 245 The King Fights Monsters (1)

But the danger was far from over this time. In the following months, humans continued to suffer from monster invasions. Gradually, the survivors figured out a pattern: the monsters appeared every twenty days, for ten hours each time, no matter where or how many they were, and they would quickly retreat when the time was up.

No one knows why these monsters appear, but in order to survive, they can only endure them temporarily.

After a short period of research, the national government discovered that although these monsters would destroy buildings and kill humans, they had one characteristic: they would not burrow beneath the surface.

Therefore, the national leaders issued an urgent notice to build an underground fortress immediately.

From that day on, Wang Ke's world changed drastically. When she returned home from school that day, luck did not come to the Wang family. Wang Ke's father was swallowed by a monster while working in the company. Her grandparents had passed away long ago. Only her stepmother and stepsister were at home, and the two of them escaped.

Because of the invasion of monsters, everyone can only huddle together to catch their breath, and Wang Ke lives with a mother and daughter with whom he is not close.

Half a year later, the underground fortress was built, and humans moved according to the published notices and went underground when necessary.

Three years passed like this, and the country had been trying to find ways to resist. They used powerful guns, tank shells and other weapons, but these were of no use to the monsters. They seemed to have bodies of steel and could not be hurt at all.

After many battles, they discovered that the only things that could hurt monsters were swords and knives, which were used in close combat with monsters.

This discovery was simply despairing.

Given their size, humans are so tiny that even if they can be hacked with a knife, they can’t escape death.

Three years later, the monsters upgraded, and only one in a hundred humans remained on the planet. The monster invasions changed from once every twenty days to once every ten days, then once every five days, and then... the monsters completely took over the invasion.

The original owner died in the last battle. Before she was swallowed by the monster, the last scene she saw was a group of blond men and women falling from the sky, their silver robes fluttering, like gods descending from heaven.

No, they are not gods, they are invaders!

……

"elder sister"

"Sister, have you seen my sister?"

Heshan opened his eyes, expelled the original owner's deep hatred, stood up, and walked out of the mound: "I'm here"

My stepsister is only eight years old now. After experiencing nearly three years of disasters, she is no longer as plump and white as before, and looks like a yellow-haired girl.

Wang Xingyue ran over immediately after hearing the voice, raised her head and said, "Sister, why don't you come back with mom? It's time to eat."

"Oh, children should not ask about adult matters."

The little girl pouted, "You are only a dozen years older than me, aren't you also a child?" She secretly complained in her heart, and suddenly her eyes lit up, and there was a chocolate in her dirty hand.

"Wow!" She quickly took the things and put them away. She looked around carefully and whispered, "Sister, you are so amazing. You can still find chocolate now!"

Heshan pushed her back and didn't want to pay any attention to her for the time being.

The current timeline is three years after the monster outbreak. It won't be long before the monsters speed up their invasion, so she has to complete the task quickly.

This mission is not an easy one. The original master has to seek revenge, find out the source of the monster invasion, and restore world peace...

Heshan was a little excited. She had never been a savior before!

Even though she was a little tired, she felt her blood boiling when she thought about the time when she would raise her arms and everyone would shout "Queen" in unison, worshiping and adoring her!

Cool.

Wow, wow, wow~

Wang Xingyue looked at her sister in confusion. How come she seemed like a different person after going out today?

"Sister, what are you thinking about? You are laughing so strangely."

Wow——Heshan suppressed the smile on his face and imitated the original owner and said calmly: "Thinking about saving the world"

Wang Xingyue: “…” I stopped having this kind of dream when I was seven years old.

The two of them stared at each other, but Wang Xingyue couldn't help but turn her head first, and walked forward muttering, "Did my sister get scared to death today?"

Heshan snorted, patted the small cross-body bag on his back, and decided to give them a surprise tonight!

Stepmother Han Qiu formed a family with Wang Ke's father when the original owner was fifteen years old. Since they started living in the dormitory since junior high school, the original owner had a close but distant relationship with her and they got along very peacefully. The stepsister was still a three-year-old little girl at the time. Although there was a twelve-year age difference between the two, the younger sister was likable and the two sisters got along pretty well.

The current situation is that the three of them, like everyone else, usually move around above ground, but when the twentieth day comes, they run underground.

In the past six months, the monster invasion that occurred every twenty days has slowly started to change. Sometimes it would come a day earlier, sometimes two days later, roughly within this range. And after that, there would still be one or two monsters active in the city. Unless they were killed, they would not leave, and would stay until the next twenty days.

This time the monster invasion came three days earlier. The original owner and Han Qiu were searching for supplies on it. Seeing that things were not going well, they immediately ran back. However, the original owner almost didn't make it due to malnutrition and weak legs. Fortunately, Han Qiu pulled her up.

But afterwards, Han Qiu saved half of her food and gave it to the original owner, which made her even weaker. Not long after, when she went out to look for food, she encountered the monster that stayed there and was unable to run away.

While thinking, Heshan watched his adopted sister running away quickly. He found the place where the three of them were based on his memory. It was an area of ​​less than five square meters, surrounded by a tent. Some of the equipment that could not be put in was placed outside the tent or plastic shed like everyone else. Usually only people slept inside.

In fact, the "underground fortress" is very simple, somewhat like a cave dwelling in the plateau area, but it is dug a little deeper. There is nothing else around it except for the supporting pillars, and only two dim lights are hung in the center.

Lifting the door curtain, Han Qiu was half lying on the "bed". He had no extra expression when he saw her come in, and just pushed his coquettish daughter in his arms.

"Let's go eat something."

Heshan's eyes fell on the small folding table, where two loaves of bread and two glasses of water were placed.

Wang Xingyue pulled her worriedly and said, "Mom, you should get up and eat too."

Han Qiu smiled gently and touched her head: "I saw a monster and can't eat it for the time being. Be good, go eat first."

The little girl shook her head helplessly, and several strands of her dry yellow hair were pulled out in an instant, which made Heshan's eyes jump. She felt her head and felt a chill, so she touched it inadvertently.

"..."

They all remained silent.

She pressed down her distorted face and shook out a handful of hair from her hand.

Eat, eat, eat, you must eat and make up for it quickly. She doesn’t want to wait until she ascends the throne of the savior and raises her hand and shouts that day, she will become a bald queen!

Heshan bit down fiercely, gritting his teeth and cursing the group of monster lambs, and then thought of the group of silver-robed people. Didn't they have golden hair? So thick, they should be snatched away for her to wear!

But the next second, pain appeared in her eyes again. This bread was too unpalatable...

Because of the invasion of monsters, production was interrupted and people could only survive by searching for supplies. Later, they found a pattern and could continue production and planting, but every time they started, they would be destroyed by the invading monsters again.

Without food, there can be no production. After three years, all the supplies had been consumed. They had less and less food to fill their stomachs, and having nothing to eat was a common occurrence. Everyone was like the three of them, skinny and malnourished.

Heshan reluctantly took another bite, but it was really hard to swallow. He pretended to chew it twice and secretly threw it all into the space.

"By the way, mom, eat this! My sister gave it to me."

Wang Xingyue handed the chocolate to Han Qiu and blinked hard to suppress her desire.

Han Qiu was stunned and looked at Heshan. She didn't know where she picked it up from. Every time she came back, she would bring something out for her daughter. The two of them had a good relationship. In fact, she was very pleased in her heart, and her expression eased a lot:

"No, Mom doesn't want to eat chocolate, you eat it"

Wang Xingyue was a little anxious, and stretched her hand forward again, urging her to replenish her strength.

As a mother, she couldn't refuse, so He Shan watched the two of them tear open the bag of chocolate and break it into three small pieces with the help of their fingers.

"Sister, hurry up"

The two put the chocolate in their mouths, reluctant to bite it, and just closed their eyes to savor the hard-earned deliciousness.

Heshan didn't say much, just reached out to take it and threw it into his mouth.

At this moment, in this simple underground space, the crying and shouting from outside came in unimpeded.

During this monster raid, more than half of the people who went out did not make it back. They had experienced too much suffering for too long, and the loss of their loved ones made them extremely painful. They were full of hatred towards the monsters, and they cursed the monsters to die a bad death. The sound of their voices mixed with their cries was very unpleasant to hear.

Heshan's eyes flickered, and he suddenly reached out to lift the door curtain, his gaze fixed on the air under the dim light.

There, there was a light curtain with unfamiliar subtitles rolling continuously. The angle kept changing as the crowd cried, as if it was trying to take in a comprehensive view of the situation here.

grass.

Wang Xingyue stuck her head out, and she could only see everyone crying. Her few yellow hairs, which were filled with worry, became even more listless. She understood what life and death were.

"Sister, do you think there are gods in this world? Can we survive?"

"Of course." He Shan looked down at her, dispelling the coldness in his eyes. After hesitating for a moment, he gave up on her head and chose to pat her shoulder: "Of course you can survive, the great God has come."

"...? Then where is He?"

"It's so far away and yet so close at hand"

Wang Xingyue: “…” The little girl rolled her eyes speechlessly.

The light curtain that had just turned around also changed direction without leaving a trace.

Heshan smiled and lowered the door curtain.

She no longer paid attention to the outside world. She had just arrived in this world. Although she was strong, she could not be complacent. After all, there were not only countless monsters outside, but also countless enemies hidden behind. She planned to take a good rest and adjust herself.

This world is different from the past. It is impossible to rely on one's own efforts. It is too tiring. It is better to work together.

Unable to resist a yawn, Heshan felt a little tired. He turned his head and quickly found the place where the original owner had slept before. He tilted his head and closed his eyes.

Han Qiu and her daughter saw her lying down, shared the bread with her, and fell asleep in silence. When they slept, they were no longer hungry.

Five days later.

Han Qiu looked at her watch for the first time with a frown on her face, while Wang Xingyue moved closer to Heshan and stretched out her finger to poke her face, but was grabbed before she got close.

"Sister! You finally woke up!" The little girl was very surprised.

He Shan stretched himself, hummed, and stood up. Just as he stretched his muscles, he heard Han Qiu say, "You watch the stars and the moon, I'm going to go out for a while."

"I'll go too," she said quickly.

Han Qiu saw that she was in good spirits and did not refuse. Their food was running out and if they didn't go find something to eat, they would be completely out of food.

The two walked out of the small tent one after the other, the light curtain disappeared, and the adults had already gone out to search for supplies.

Wang Xingyue stood at the entrance of the tunnel, waved to the two of them, and whispered to them to be careful. The children who were left behind heard her words, glanced at them, and quickly turned their heads away weakly.

If it were the year before, they could still be taken out to breathe some fresh air, but now the monster invasion has become unstable and no one dares to take risks. They have not been exposed to fresh air for a long time and lack food and clothing, so their bodies have been damaged to varying degrees.

There was a gap in the iron gate of the tunnel, and the two men nimbly got out. As soon as He Shan stepped onto the ground, he saw the terrible environment around him. The high-rise buildings were broken, the ground was dirty and messy, with collapsed and broken walls, rusty billboards, and empty plastic bags of snacks.

Han Qiu looked around and walked in a certain direction. Not far away, there were people rummaging through things, but apart from the sound of rummaging, no one dared to speak loudly.

The whole city fell into an eerie silence.

The two walked for a long time, looking in the ruined shopping mall and searching in the shops in the narrow alleys, but they found nothing for a long time.

This area has been almost completely eaten up.

Heshan followed behind Han Qiu, looking around, and occasionally he could see the light curtain appear next to people.

"Piggy, can you understand the words above?"

"cannot"

It can't be forgotten. She just asked casually. She was a little curious about what they said but not much. Anyway, it was enough to know that they were enemies. The light curtain world was making a fool of humans. Not only did it release monsters to kill people indiscriminately, it also hid in the dark and observed their every move.

She touched her chin and prepared to re-adjust her plan.

There are still fifteen days until the next monster invasion, that's enough time.

"Xiao Ke!" Han Qiu in front shouted nervously.

He Shan ran forward in two or three steps, "Here you are, what's the matter?"

Han Qiu excitedly dragged out the black backpack from the wasteland in the alley. He pulled the zipper and the things inside instantly came into view: two old books, three bags of instant noodles, a bottle of water, and two packs of dried meat!

She excitedly gathered them in her arms, and looked around warily.

"Quick, open your bag!"

Heshan obediently did as she said and stuffed the instant noodles into her bag, and the water and two packets of dried meat into her own bag. As for the books, Han Qiu didn't want to take them and threw them back into the black backpack. It was useless to take them at this time.

"..." The king was so disappointed with his friend that he quickly pulled the book back.

Han Qiu looked at her, but didn't stop her: "You can take it back to pad the corner of the table."

"...Aunt Qiu, didn't you see what was written above?" Heshan's face twisted for a moment and he asked in doubt.
