Chapter 1 Destruction Era?

After seeing these three words, Li Tianran’s heart pounded wildly. They seemed to possess a chilling magic, making his hands and feet turn cold.

He suddenly walked to the windowsill and looked up at the sky.

The originally cloudless, clear sky was now shrouded in an eerie gloom. The dazzling sun seemed to be blocked by something, its edge already plunged into darkness, and the dark portion was constantly expanding.

"A solar eclipse?"

Li Tianran knew very well that for rare astronomical phenomena like solar eclipses, the astronomical bureau and the media would report them a week in advance.

But Li Tianran hadn't heard any news about a solar eclipse before.

This meant that the system's warning about the Destruction Era might be real.

This wasn't a solar eclipse at all, but a sign of the approaching apocalypse!

"The end is coming in less than six hours. How should I respond?" Li Tianran felt a sense of chaos in his mind. After forcing himself to calm down, he pondered for a moment and said in a deep voice, "In the apocalypse, there are usually sudden changes in temperature and food shortages… Right, clothing and food."

Clothing, food, shelter, and transportation; clothing and food as paramount…

Countless disasters throughout history had proven one thing.

Warm clothing and filling food were always the primary resources for maintaining survival.

Only after satisfying these two things did one have the right to consider anything else.

Thinking of this, he immediately pushed open the door, not caring about anything else, picked up Han Han and Xiao Hei, and rushed straight to the truck parked at the entrance of the manor.

…

Thirty minutes later.

Li Tianran returned from the city, his truck loaded with all kinds of supplies.

From winter clothes to condiments for cooking, and even a simple diesel generator.

It took him almost two full hours to move all these things into the warehouse, and only then did Li Tianran's mood become somewhat calm.

"Big brother, why are we buying so much stuff?" Han Han sat in the passenger seat, her little legs dangling outside the door, swinging gently. She held a chicken leg and asked, puzzled, "Are you planning to open a supermarket?"

Indeed, judging from the types and quantities of materials Li Tianran bought, they could definitely meet the needs of a supermarket.

In other words, if these materials were used solely to support the survival of two people, they could last for two or three years!

"Better safe than sorry…" Li Tianran didn't directly answer Han Han's question.

After all, the apocalypse was still too scary and unfamiliar for her as a child.

He glanced at the system prompt.

Time remaining until the Destruction Era: 3 hours 26 minutes 37 seconds.

At this time, the dark clouds in the sky were even denser.

The sun had gradually disappeared by a small half, and the entire world was filled with an extremely oppressive feeling.

…

Li Tianran's residence was a two-story building within the manor.

He had once used the first floor as a restaurant to entertain guests, and it was fully equipped with dining utensils. In addition, the back kitchen was connected to a warehouse of about one hundred square meters, used to store food and some seeds.

The second floor was the room for him and Han Han.

After carefully closing all the windows on both floors and confirming that there were no oversights, he left the building while Han Han was watching cartoons and came to the area where the cattle and sheep were grazing.

After driving the two cows and a dozen goats, which were slightly agitated due to the change in the sky, into the shed and locking them up, Li Tianran finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did he have time to carefully examine the specific interface of this doomsday game.

The virtual main interface was very simple, like a crudely made web game.

There were three options in total.

Permissions Interface.

Exchange Interface.

Store Interface.

He first glanced at the Permissions Interface.

Lv1 Shelter Permissions: Remote control of shelter/50000 points (Even if the player leaves the shelter, they can always sense the real-time status of the shelter and all mall products, and can command them at any time)

Other permissions need to be unlocked after upgrading…

Li Tianran raised his eyebrows, and then directly chose to enter the Store Interface.

The Store Interface popped up, temporarily with only three categories, while the subsequent seven categories were completely grayed out, displaying "Activated after shelter upgrade."

And the only three categories were Upgrade, Tools, and Resources.

Li Tianran raised his eyebrows and chose to enter the first Upgrade category.

"Upgrade the shelter, you can choose defense/expansion!"

Defense and expansion were two different interfaces, and the products sold were also completely different.

Defense. Walls: Wooden (1 meter/30 points), Iron Bar (1 meter/300), Concrete Thorn (1 meter/600), Alloy Fortress (1 meter/6000)

Radar Guard: Monitoring (1/2000), Patrol (1/5000)

Laser Tower: Unlocked…

Warning: Player Li Tianran's shelter defense rating is 3, which can only defend against small wild animals. It is a very high risk. It is recommended to establish a defense system as soon as possible!

Around the manor, a circle of fences made of bamboo poles and wire trembled in the wind.

Then, Li Tianran looked at the expansion-type props.

Expansion. Intelligent working robot: Home type (1/10000), agricultural type (1/50000), industrial type (1/500000)

Expansion. Combat fighters: lv1 Hummingbird (1/1000), lv2 Hound (1/5000), lv3 Adult (1/50000), lv4 Tank (1/5000000), lv5 Mecha (1/1000000000)

He only looked at two types of expansion props, and the series of zeros in the price column almost made Li Tianran dizzy.

This was almost catching up to his phone number!

Overall, this doomsday game was somewhat similar to a disaster shelter or Red Alert, with a base as the center for expansion or development.

Li Tianran felt a little stuffy in his chest. The things in the mall were good, but the price… indescribable!

But at this moment, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't checked his newbie rewards.

He almost trembled as he opened his backpack interface and saw the gift box-shaped package.

Obtain points reward: 500000!

Obtain radar: Monitoring x3, Patrol x1!

Obtain combat fighters: Hummingbird lv1 x20! Hound lv2 x1!

Obtain seeds (radiation-proof grade): Corn x30 jin, soybeans x30 jin, rice x30 jin!

Obtain Void Sun: Energy (300/300)!

Obtain Lv1 crop growth accelerator: 80 liters!

Obtain Lv1 livestock growth accelerator: 80 liters!

Do you want to take out the items in the item bar?

Li Tianran chose "Yes"!

In an instant, a pile of items suddenly appeared on the open space in front of Li Tianran.

And the most striking were the mechanical combat fighters.

The twenty Hummingbird-level combat fighters glowed with a dim metallic luster, and their shapes were like hummingbirds, gently flapping their wings and flying up.

Li Tianran curiously looked at the row of mechanical guards in front of him, and his mind was like a high-powered computer, instantly presenting the state of these guards.

lv1 Hummingbird No. 1 (Level 1 Combat Fighter):

Ammunition load 100/100

Damage degree 0/100

Speed: 5 (5 meters/second)

Lethality: 3 (can penetrate 3mm steel plate)

Defense: 1 (can defend against 100 kg of force attack)

The attack method is shooting!

He moved his mind and gave them an attack order.

In the next second, the hummingbird guards suddenly burst out, and the gunshots were endless!

A water tank placed in the distance was instantly shattered!

Li Tianran's pupils shrank.

This power… hitting someone would definitely be fatal in an instant!

Li Tianran looked again at the only Hound-level fighter.

lv2 Hound No. 1 (Level 2 Combat Fighter)

Ammunition Load: 50/50

Fuel Load: 100/100

Speed: 4

Lethality: 6

Defense: 5

Attack methods are burning, shooting, and biting!

A flash of fire, and a fire snake about ten meters long shot out from the mechanical hound's mouth, igniting a huge fireball in the air.

Even at a distance of ten meters, Li Tianran could feel the suffocating high temperature, and even steel would be melted!

Yes!

Li Tianran looked at the things in front of him and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

The newbie reward was really powerful!

With these things, even in the apocalypse, he had the trump card to survive!

…

Thirty minutes later, Li Tianran returned to the building.

At this time, his points had decreased from 500,000 to about 30,000.

He bought five monitoring guards and patrol guards each, as well as twenty Hummingbird-level combat fighters, and added a circle of iron fence-level walls to his manor.

It couldn't be blamed on him being too cautious.

In the apocalypse, the evil in human nature would be displayed to the greatest extent.

In other words, those who lost their humanity in the face of disaster were themselves part of the disaster.

He had to guard against it.

At this time, the manor, under Li Tianran's transformation, already had the prototype of a fortress. He was confident that unless a regular army attacked, it would never be forcibly invaded!

Peppa Pig was still playing on the TV, and Han Han was laughing heartlessly with the Peppa family in the picture on the TV.

On the table was a plate with only half of the egg fried rice and chicken legs left.

Li Tianran sat down, picked up the plate and started eating, and asked with a smile, "Why didn't you finish it? Are you in a bad mood?"

"Xiao Hei and I are full." Han Han shook her head: "This is specially left for big brother."

Li Tianran was stunned for a moment, then smiled and took a few bites, throwing the remaining leg bone with a little meat to Xiao Hei, who was lying beside him, looking eagerly.

Woof!

Xiao Hei immediately pounced on it, beaming.

Li Tianran took a deep breath.

This kind of life is really cozy…

It's just that he didn't know how long it could last.

He looked up at the abnormally dark sky, remained silent for a moment, and gently patted Han Han's head and asked, "Xiao Han, if the world continues to be dark like this from today onwards, will you be afraid?"

Han Han nodded: "Yes, I will be afraid."

Then, as if she had remembered something, she arched into Li Tianran's arms with her bare feet, grabbed his arm and put it around her shoulders, and giggled: "Like this… I won't be afraid!"

Li Tianran was stunned for a moment, then beckoned to Xiao Hei.

Xiao Hei also jumped onto the sofa extremely obediently and lay beside Li Tianran.

Li Tianran looked at the cloudy sky outside the window and knew very well that what he and the whole world would face next was the most terrifying apocalypse. Therefore, he could only be with the most important things in his life to calm his mood.

From a long time ago.

A pair of siblings, a dog.

They formed a separate world with each other. Everyone else in the world was an outsider, and everything else was an outsider. No one could separate them.

Neither Zhong Ling.

Nor the apocalypse.
