The rr virus spread rapidly across the globe as soon as it appeared. All life on Earth, whether human or beast, as long as it needed to breathe, became infected with the rr virus.
By the time humans discovered the existence of the rr virus, it was already too late.
After infection with the rr virus, the mortality rate was extremely high, reaching nearly 30 percent. In just three months, according to later statistics, besides the large number of animal deaths, the global human population decreased sharply by nearly two billion. Those three months were a nightmarish period. Global scientists were helpless in the face of this virus.
Nearly five billion human survivors all naturally developed antibodies in their bodies.
After those nightmarish three months, the whole world was immersed in endless grief.
Luo Feng spoke slowly. During this process, the five billion human survivors discovered that their bodies had become better. Almost every human saw increases of more than double in strength, speed, cell activity, and skin toughness. Even an ordinary person could easily break past world records in weightlifting or the 100 metre dash.
However, the disaster had only just begun.
Humans who had lived comfortable lives saw such increases in their physical conditions. The birds and beasts that had also survived the rr virus had always followed the law of natural selection. This bodily transformation caused various birds and beasts to improve in strength far more astonishingly than humans. Moreover, some terrifying monsters even gained intelligence.
In September 2015, the endless creatures in the oceans launched attacks. Countless birds and beasts that had transformed into monsters began to assault human settlements.
It was bloody and frenzied.
In the war between humans and monsters, people were shocked to discover that the hot weapons they had always been proud of only worked against some low level monsters. Powerful flying monsters and land monsters were not afraid of bullets or artillery fire at all. Bullets hitting their bodies could not even break through their scales. Missile attacks were easily dodged by monsters with fast neural reactions and high speed.
Even when humans used nuclear bombs to attack, they were later shocked to find that…
The monsters’ defence was too strong. Only in the core area of the nuclear bomb’s attack range did large numbers of monsters die. In the wider affected areas, the monsters did not perish. The power of nuclear bombs was far less strong than humans had imagined. Although it killed batches of monsters, the nuclear radiation caused even more terrifying existences to emerge among the monsters. The most famous was the terrifying blood demon heavenly wolf from that time. The blood demon heavenly wolf actually had the ability to fly and slaughtered over a million humans. Only then did humans realise that nuclear radiation could cause some monsters to mutate and produce extremely terrifying beings.
There were extremely terrifying existences among the monsters, but powerful individuals also emerged among humans. In the end, the blood demon heavenly wolf was heavily injured and forced to flee by a human super powerhouse who could also fly. This person is now ranked second internationally, known as the Thunder God.
These powerhouses saved large numbers of ordinary civilians at critical moments and assisted the army in resisting monster hordes. During this period, many moving and heroic stories emerged.
Meanwhile, the human scientist Kro de Senna, using materials from monster corpses and the blue gold metal discovered on the moon, invented an alloy harder than diamond, known as C alloy. This allowed human powerhouses to avoid fighting with bare hands and instead possess formidable weapons capable of splitting open monster fur and scales.
Luo Feng had a very clear memory of this part of history recorded in the book.
During the war, large numbers of cities were destroyed.
In China, the country urgently built six major bases and transferred large populations to them. In terms of powerhouses, China and India, which values ancient yoga, had the largest numbers of human super powerhouses. Meanwhile, America, the European Union, and Soviet Russia led in technology.
Because of the countless monsters in the oceans, almost every island nation was wiped out.
Even now, the oceans remain the territory of monsters.
In the war between monsters and humans, only five countries on Earth could protect themselves: China, India, America, the European Union, and Soviet Russia. Other countries had long fallen apart. At the critical moment, with these five major countries as the core, the Earth Alliance was established. The Earth Alliance joint forces assisted in building many human bases around the world.
The war between monsters and humans began in September 2015. With the successful development of ultra high frequency laser cannons in March 2021, which killed more than ten S level monsters and two SS level monsters in succession, the large scale war between monsters and humans finally ended.
Luo Feng sighed with emotion.
It was a full five and a half years of war, the most terrifying war. In this war, nearly one billion humans died. Only the five countries preserved their national systems. Survivors from all other countries entered various human bases and lived mixed together.
Even now, humans hold the advantage on land. But there are far too many monsters in the oceans, so the oceans remain the territory of monsters.
From 2013 to 2021, those eight years were the Great Nirvana period in human history. Luo Feng sat on the sofa and spoke slowly.
Dong, dong, dong, dong, dong.
The sound of the clock echoed in the room.
The wall clock struck five times. It was already five in the afternoon.
The Great Nirvana period. Luo Hua also sighed with emotion. Brother, to be honest, I still find it a bit hard to imagine that before the Great Nirvana period, there were over two hundred countries and regions globally. How many people were there at that time? Only seven billion. Some small countries were really too small. Probably one powerful monster could have destroyed those small countries back then.
Luo Feng nodded. That is why now, globally, there are five major powers and 23 cities.
On the entire Earth, there are five major countries, China, India, America, the European Union, and Soviet Russia, along with 23 human bases formed in places like South America and Africa, which are the 23 cities.
China has six major human bases in total, which are now the six major cities.
Luo Feng’s home was in Yi An District of Yangzhou City, one of the eight major satellite cities of Jiangnan City.
The entire Jiangnan City has a population of nearly two hundred million. Yangzhou City, one of the eight major satellite cities of Jiangnan City, has a population of over ten million. The Jiangnan City human base was mainly formed by large scale migration and gathering of populations from former Jiangsu and former Zhejiang, with some from former Anhui as well.
So distant. His younger brother Luo Hua looked at the wall clock. It is already the year 2056 AD. The Great Nirvana period ended more than thirty years ago. Human society has made going to martial arts halls for training almost mandatory for everyone. Human society is much stronger than it was more than thirty years ago.
Luo Feng nodded.
In thirty years, there were indeed more powerhouses among humans, and technology had advanced somewhat. However, many terrifying existences had also been born among the monsters.
The door opened with a click. A middle aged couple walked in. The middle aged man had sweat soaked clothes with paint and other stains. He looked quite tired. The middle aged woman was not very tall and carried a vegetable basket containing some vegetables and meat.
Dad, Mum. Luo Feng immediately stood up. This couple were his parents.
Father Luo Hongguo, mother Gong Xinlan.
Hehe, yes, Xiao Feng, you keep reading, keep reading. Do not mind me. Luo Hongguo said with a smile. His son was about to take the university entrance exam, so revision was naturally the most important in Luo Hongguo’s view.
Luo Hongguo looked down and saw the large plastic cup of cool boiled water on the table. He felt a warmth in his heart. There was always cool boiled water ready whenever he returned. After a day of work, he picked up the large plastic cup and drank it all in one go with gulps, then let out a comfortable breath.
Go take a bath quickly. Look at all that stinky sweat on you. Mother Gong Xinlan laughed.
Haha. Luo Hongguo laughed and immediately took his change of clothes towards the small but long used bathroom shared by the family.
Gong Xinlan smiled and looked at her two sons. Xiao Feng, Xiao Hua, today Mum will make braised pork for you.
I like it the most. Younger brother Luo Hua immediately shouted.
Luo Feng could not help smiling as well as he watched his mother tie on her apron and start cooking dinner. Luo Feng knew very well that Mum always went to buy vegetables after work in the evening because the prices for vegetables and meat were much cheaper than in the morning. However, the vegetables and meat in the evening were not as fresh as in the morning. Luo Feng looked at the bathroom again and thought silently in his heart, I must obtain the warrior title as quickly as possible. At that time, Mum will not need to buy vegetables in the afternoon anymore, and Dad will not need to do those tiring renovation jobs.
In his heart…
Luo Feng had always longed to let his parents rest and quietly enjoy sunlight and good food.
Xiao Feng. Father Luo Hongguo, after taking a bath, walked over. Dad has something to discuss with you.
What is it? Luo Feng looked at his father.
Luo Hongguo smiled slightly. It is like this, Xiao Feng. I have never asked you about your own plans after high school graduation. Can you tell Dad?
As soon as Luo Hongguo spoke, his mother Gong Xinlan, who was cooking, slowed her movements a bit. Parents cared greatly about their son’s future prospects.
Dad, this is what I think.
Luo Feng said directly. With my cultural subject results, I believe it should not be too difficult to get into Jiangnan First Military Academy in the university entrance exam. Now I have already obtained the advanced student title from the martial arts hall. Once at Jiangnan First Military Academy, I will be trained directly as an officer. Dad and Mum can then directly enter the military district family quarters.
Being a soldier also had different levels.
China of course recruited soldiers now, but ordinary soldiers did not have very good benefits. However, being a young advanced martial arts hall student who could also get into Jiangnan First Military Academy meant being both academically and martially outstanding. The state would definitely focus on training him and would directly allocate a house in the military district family quarters.
The houses given to officers’ families were naturally ten or a hundred times better than this low rent housing.
What if you cannot get into Jiangnan First Military Academy? Luo Hongguo said. Xiao Feng, do not put too much pressure on yourself.
There are two key military academies in Jiangnan City. Even if I perform poorly in the exam and cannot get into the first one, getting into the second military academy is absolutely no problem. Luo Feng knew his results well. His usual test scores were about fifty points above the undergraduate line, while the second military academy only required reaching the undergraduate line.
In the current university entrance exam, there was no distinction between first tier and second tier. There were only undergraduate and specialist categories, with only one score line. Above the undergraduate line was undergraduate, below it was specialist.
In the second military academy, with the status of advanced martial arts hall student, I will also be trained as an officer. The treatment will not be much worse. Luo Feng smiled.
Being able to get into undergraduate…
Only two out of ten people could achieve it.
However, among high school students, obtaining the advanced martial arts hall student title was something only one in over a thousand could do.
Yes, yes, as long as you have confidence it is fine. But Xiao Feng, do not put too much pressure on yourself. Your mum and I just want a stable life. Luo Hongguo nodded slightly. You child, you always put too much pressure on yourself.
It is nothing. Luo Feng chuckled. I do not have much pressure. Young people need some drive after all.
Luo Feng said this, but in his heart he thought, Dad, Mum, younger brother, after my university entrance exam ends, you will soon be able to live a good life. Once I obtain the warrior title, you will not need to do those hard and tiring jobs anymore.
Hurry up and get the bowls and chopsticks, serve the rice. Dinner is ready. Gong Xinlan smiled and urged.
Alright. Father Luo Hongguo smiled and stood up to get the bowls and chopsticks.
The green vegetables smell really good. Luo Feng sniffed by the soup pot and helped carry the bowls.
I smell the braised pork, wow. Younger brother Luo Hua also shouted excitedly, pulled his wheelchair wheels, and moved towards the dining table.
The family of four enjoyed a warm and harmonious time together.
