“Then it is everything you know. It might be an unknown evolution brought about by the cosmic radiation or a virus we can’t detect but the full-scale mutation of living things appeared. The entire world was occupied with these things. There must be something special about them since any humans who came into contact with them would become infected, gradually losing human characteristics and becoming assimilated. They like to attack humans since human genes are delicious to them. Thus, the war began. This is the greatest war in the history of humanity.”

Poet took a breath before continuing, “The scattered humans couldn’t resist the attacks of monsters and humans started to integrate their remaining resources to establish human bases. Our ID number starts with a three, indicating that this is the third human base. The Underground City Base, the Virginia Base, the Northern Base and the Southeast Base, these four bases are the fate of humanity. After the base was formed, humans could catch their breaths and you can have your current life.”

This sentence seemed to ease the atmosphere in the prison but it soon became freezing again with the next statement.

“Unfortunately, the bases aren’t safe places.” Poet coughed and his voice gradually became lower.

“In 2061, a tide of mutant rats broke out and the Southeast Base fell.”

“In 2073, a sea alien sneaked in and the Virginia Base fell.”

“Fuck.” Jin Sen suddenly interrupted. “No wonder why you were arrested for sedition and maliciously spreading panic. The city’s defense station should seal your mouth.”

“However, I didn’t do anything wrong.” Poet laughed. “I just mixed in with my boyfriend’s team of mercenaries and collected information around human sites. Then I put them together for publication and ended up sentenced to life.”

Jin Sen muttered, “Your tongue should be cut off for life. You even have a boyfriend.”

Poet laughed again. “The base is so boring. Why can’t I have a boyfriend?”

He no longer cared for Jin Sen. “To this day, only the Northern Base and the Underground City Base can be operated. These two bases protect the magnetic field generator which is why the aurora around the base is brighter than anywhere else. The aurora is the flor of solar wind particles.”

Then Poet sighed. “I don’t know if there is any contact between the two bases. After all, they are separated by the entire Pacific Ocean. I said before that the most difficult time for humans wasn’t the Desert Age or Catastrophe Age. It is because the most difficult time is now. Who knows what will happen in the next moment?”

The moment he spoke, the ground beneath them shook violently. Dust fell from the ceiling of the prison and landed on An Zhe’s head. He coughed but there was a stronger vibration. Jin Sen jerked up and shouted, “Is it an earthquake?”
