Chapter 129 The Earth’s Wastelands 2

Hudoreat the leader, how ilorious the eotten by time There was never a plaque that could stand forever because they would always be pushed down There was never a story that could always be sung because people would always strive for a better story

'Old Earth' or 'First Earth' was such a location that was slowly being forgotten by hu the twenty-second century, in the observatories of the American Rockies and the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico, the astronomers noticed a new arrival in the sky It was clearly visible at the area close to Pluto The observatories from Sweden and Russia soon came forth to confirm this news as well They predicted that thistoward the solar systeazines focused exclusively on this discovery, but major papers merely wrote small articles about it Forthan celebrity gossip

Several days later, the astronomers returned to observe the unknown object with excited and curious hearts, speculating about ould happen next It was then that they realized… theat an impossible speed It could now be seen clearly with its picture taken by a normal camera The closer it went to Pluto, the h it was the twenty-second century, having an interplanetary collision so close to Earth would still lead to uniinable destruction However, at that moment, the two planetary objects still looked quite a distance away

Just as the impossible quickly turned into a possibility, the media from various countries started to pay attention to as happening in the sky There were even students from schools who produced related sky charts All the evidence pointed toward human helplessness as they watched the meteoroid hurtle toward Pluto

Soon, the whole world was alive with this news because the predicted collision did not happen What happened instead hen the ht into its blazing self…

The two entities joined to for ball of fire, one that was visible from Earth with the naked eye Therefore, other than sun and moon, there appeared a new celestial body that circled around Earth It rhythht, people on Earth watched the ball rise and fall, and it was quite noticeable that with each rise, the ball got bigger

People started to fear Questions like 'Why did such a ?' started to appear, but questions like those were idiotic It was like asking why one was born out of theto be born

Scientists went on the news to explain soe about astrophysics to the public and to share part of their research results All the reports were talking about one thing—the final destination of this uninvited guest that appeared in the solar systeravitational field froh to divert it away from its course But no matter what, Earth's doomsday was literally written in the stars

However, what happened next was out of everyone's expectations To borrow an analogy, it was as if Earth was delivered a death sentence, but the sentence was going to be carried out decades later

After the fireball consumed Pluto, its movement speed became incredibly slow It stopped at a relatively safe distance, acting like a twin to the sun, burning all the planets alive On Earth, winter beca of the past, and the coldest season on Earth was as hot as summer

When the first sun fell, the other sun careet the day The heat was unbearable, and a hellish heatwave scorched the land No one kne long those days would last, but the rapidly dissolving ice caps at the poles was a reminder to the people that they could not stay on Earth for long

Optimism, cynicism, pessimism, and madness—people's reactions were different, and Earth fell into insurmountable chaos Doomsday announced itself in a believable and real context It was no longer some 'environmental issue', 'alien invasion', or 'lethal virus' as espoused by thefar away in the future It appeared every day in the sky, announcing the end of the world

If there was one good thing about this, it was that it pooled huether In the decade after the discovery, huress ardless of race, skin color, nationality, and faith—cooperated for the singular goal of survival Everyone did their best, sharing their best scientific technology, scientists, resources, and everything Finally, after twenty years, humanity took the first step into space The first 'Noah' spacecraft broke through the ozone layer, taking along the population number of 1,000,000 people Then came the second and third crafts…

With the hope of survival on the line… hue war broke out on Earth, one that ended with the death of the majority of humanity and the destruction of ninety-three percent of s

Twenty-seven years later, 'doohing

The star suddenly took a ninety-degree turn, regained its speed, and absconded from the solar system No one knew the reason Perhaps it was never a in with but some kind of alien spaceshi+p, a unique star life form, or an unknown trial for huained the ability to leave Earth, the threat to Earth's destruction disappeared, and the irony was, Earth was no longer habitable due to the nuclear warfare that was launched by hu themselves

Thankfully, hu-distance travel through space was no longer fiction Therefore, the survivors on Noah found a new home within the milky way, a hoinal planet that had not been experienced by sentient lifeform before—'New Earth' or 'Second Earth'

In the year 2386, new technology surfaced known as 'Ants' It was a type of very sanic tissue on a cellular level Initially, Ants was used to reform the limbs of the incapacitated This meant that patients who suffered froain their mobility and dexterity

However, later, when Ants brought a frozen mountain hiker as lost in the ht into the spotlight again, and humanity turned its focus back to First Earth

Since the year 2401, a sroup of people wished to find their 'ancestors' from Old Earth to revive so that the truth from history and the past civilization could be restored This rose to a belief, and it had not faded after more than half a century

On a fateful day in 2455, a level four dual carrier shi+p known as Grendel arrived on Old Earth The research team on the shi+p found two frozen lifeforms in the Crystal Lake lab and took them back to the spaceshi+p One of them was a female researcher, Lauren, and the other was Jason Voorhees, the unkillable demon

They did not know that other than Grendel, there was another party that visited the Crystal Lake lab that day With an unknown purpose, they tailed the research team and arrived at this place They waited until the research tea the lab…

”This is unexpected We've run into a strong enemy,” Final assault said

”That's Flashes of Sword from Dao Jian Xiao, an adversary ill be hard to deal with,” Doomsday assault concurred

The two from Zombie Blade had their hair shorn to the scalp They had pale faces and dull expressions, and even the tone of their voice lacked norreen and black stripes, looking similar to the unifore for Zombie Blade printed on the left side of their chests The picture was that of a curved skeletal blade, and the words were naturally Zo Bujue also a player fro Hu? How come I've not heard of hie for us to run into a teaht… Based on the rules in the game, the ability between the two teams shouldn't be so different”
