Edge of the Apocalypse Chapter 1: Alan

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapters on Edge of Doom!

The break of dawn is 423 years.

On the first Sunday in June, the black and yellow earth is dead silent.

In a corner of this land, a rock moved, and a rock scorpion with a head and tail of nearly a meter in length arched away from the rock and climbed out. After the Battle of Dawn, 50% of the original species on Earth have completely disappeared. However, most of the remaining ones have already evolved into dangerous creatures.

The surviving humans call these creatures "dangerous species".

The rock scorpion was looking for food, and a huge breath suddenly rose from a distance. This breath is so huge, it's like a mountain coming from across the sky. Rock Scorpion raised his head and saw a shadow creeping.

The shadow is so vast that it almost spans the entire horizon. It moved forward at a slow but constant speed, and it cast a shadow on a floating island comparable in size to Texas. It was one of the greatest creations of mankind after the War of Dawn. The Floating Island of Babylon is driven by Rubik's Cube energy, and continues to orbit the planet like a near-Earth satellite following a set orbit.

It wasn't until the evening that the floating island of Babylon became a silhouette of the distant sky. At this time, the Gobi became lively again. Some of these dangerous species, like rock scorpions, are gradually moving towards the western edge of the Gobi, where there is a small town where people live by mining. Humans, in the eyes of dangerous species, are the best food.

The town is not big, there are hundreds of people living in it. The houses are simple, and the iron sheds that can keep out the wind and rain are already luxury houses. More, they are bungalows built up randomly with wooden boards and rusty iron sheets.

On the periphery of the town, there is a circle of barbed wire and a wooden fence with a sharpened end. They can effectively prevent some low-level dangerous species from entering the town, and at night, there will be three or five hunters acting as escorts, holding torches at the exit of the town.

The night is not necessarily completely dark, in the wilderness outside the town. Blue, green, and red, little strange fluorescent lights are swimming. Suddenly a rough gunshot sounded from the entrance of the town. The sound from gunpowder and firearms reverberated in the wilderness at night, so the fluorescence that wandered in the night was much less.

One wears a cowboy hat and a checkered shirt with patches. The man wearing a pair of frayed jeans and his legs in greasy boots was putting away a double-barreled shotgun with blue smoke from the muzzle. He is in the prime of life, with gray-blue eyes, and the cyan beard on his well-defined face is as hard as steel thorns.

"Damn, there are more and more dangerous species." The man cursed in a low voice.

"Come on, Uzi. You are the best hunter in our town. The more dangerous species you make, the more you earn? I think you are stealing pleasure." A bald black man joked. He wears a blindfold on his left eye, and a mechanical prosthesis on the lower joint of his right leg. The black man was carrying a submachine gun, which was second-hand, but in terms of power, it was better than the shotgun in the hands of the cowboy.

"Shut up, Bigger. I'm serious." The cowboy said a little annoyed.

"Big, you don't mess with Uzi, he is in a bad mood now." The last hunter, with a miner's hat on his head and a leather jacket, looked a bit nondescript. He was playing with a dagger in his hand, and the dagger whirled between his five fingers as if it were spiritually light, shining a firelight in the dark night, pulling out a circle of orange rainbow light.

The black man patted his head and laughed: "By the way, I almost forgot that Lanni seems to be giving birth tonight."

"This is not the worst, Bigger. The biggest problem is that our Uzi boss doesn't seem to even kiss Lanni's little mouth, but they are going to give birth."

So arrogant laughter with a little sarcasm sounded at the entrance of the town, and then Uzi's angry voice echoed in the night sky: "God is here, if you don't shut up, I will use this gun to stab Your ass!"

However, instead of angering, it didn't work, it made the two of Beagle laugh more. Just when Uzi wanted to act, a woman's scream came from the town. Hearing this scream, all three hunters looked into the town. The black man sighed, "I don't know which **** is so lucky to be able to take Lanni this hot girl. But the son of a **** has abandoned a woman like this, it's really a **** man!"

The hunter who played with the knife looked at the cowboy and said in a deep voice: "What are your plans, Uzi? Lanni is no longer a girl, but a mother."

"No matter who she is, I will take care of her!" Uzi's tone couldn't be refuted.

Under the dark night, at the entrance of the town, a light sigh that seemed like nothing went away with the wind.

In a fair tin house in the center of the town, a few middle-aged women circled around a bed.

"Push harder, Lanny. I have seen his little head."

"For God's sake, you can stretch it a little bit more."

"Yes, that's it. Use the power of your abdomen, miss!"

Production is so difficult, but this is only the first difficulty the new life has to overcome. Fortunately, this little life has a strong mother. With a cry of exhaustion, the new life was finally born smoothly.

"Look, it's a boy." A woman with short hair wrapped the baby in a tattered blanket and placed him in front of her mother's bed.

The young mother looked at her own flesh and blood wearily, her blood-stained face, a long and straight nose, and her big bright red eyes looking at this strange world curiously. His lips were pressed tightly into a knife-like line, with a little stubbornness. Unlike other newborns, he doesn't cry or make trouble, and is too quiet and weird.

The women next to each other talked about it, and they shut their mouths until they were stared at by the short-haired woman. The short-haired woman said softly: "Lanny, he is your son. Have you already thought of a name?"

The young mother nodded and looked at the baby, her eyes full of complex emotions, but she uttered a word in a soft, windy voice: "Allen, his name is Allen."

When hearing the mother's voice, the baby's expression condensed slightly. Then he turned his head and looked at the woman who gave birth to him. Finally, the tight lips pulled an arc.

He smiled.

Seeing this immature smile, my mother felt that the flame in her heart seemed to calm down a lot.

In June 423 of the dawn calendar, Alan was born this year. The first picture he remembered was his mother's beautiful and tired face. What people remember is a baby who doesn't cry, but no one knows it. Alan, who was just born, already has a memory!

The world is still advancing at its own pace, and the gears of time are turning. The nobles on the floating islands of Babylon are still having fun. Mobit, who has just been elected as the new president, has just finished a feast of celebration, and in an inconspicuous corner of the surface, an extraordinary life is just there. Born.

Fate always likes to leave a little surprise when people don’t expect it.

Dawn calendar 428, the last Saturday of the end of the fall, the sound of banging banging sounded in the town.

That was the assembly number for buying winter supplies. When a woman walked into an alley with a big bag of food, several men sitting on the corner nodded and followed.

It's getting late, and night is falling.

In the alley, the woman has spotted the stalker behind her. She quickened her pace. Just as the men were about to do it, a double-barreled shotgun suddenly protruded from the shadow in the corner, and the black muzzle immediately calmed them down.

As five years ago, Uziping, still in a cowboy costume, walked out of the shadows holding a shotgun. There was a cigarette on his mouth, and the cigarette was almost burnt out. Uzi spit the cigarette **** up, and said in a deep voice: "Get out of here!"

Under the threat of firearms, several men gradually retreated and disappeared into the alley. Uzi put the gun away and walked towards the woman: "I came back in time. Lanny."

The woman lifted her turban to reveal a beautiful face. She sighed, "I owe you another favor."

"Come on, don't do this, I'm still looking forward to getting your free treatment when I'm injured." Uzi raised his cowboy hat with the muzzle, showing an open-minded smile.

"Come on, let me carry it for you, it looks heavy enough."

The cowboy took the bag from Lanni and walked back to her home in town with her. It was a tin house, simple, but finally solid enough to block the snow and ice in winter. As soon as he entered the house, a small figure slammed into Lanni's arms. Lanny squatted down and picked him up. Under the light is a five-year-old child, but he is stronger than a child of the same age.

Having a rare gray short hair, under the reflection of the light, the blue glow shines like a tens of thousands of stars.

The boy has a childish face and already has a knife-like outline. It can be imagined that when he grows up, he must be a handsome man. It's just that now there is a small bruise on the child's cheek, which makes Lanny frown: "What's the matter?"

There was a trace of panic in the boy's eyes, and then he looked at Uzi for help. Uzi smiled and shrugged, indicating that he could do nothing. The boy had to bit his lip and said: "Today, Moss next door said I am a white pig, so I..."

He looked at Lanni, who had a stern expression. The boy had to say: "So I gave him a punch in the nose, and then he pushed me to the ground, just like this accidentally knocked. But you can rest assured, mother, I have cleaned up that guy, he will definitely not Dare to scold me again."

Uzi whistled: "Yes, Alan. The little guy Moss seems to be a year older than you."

"To be correct, he is 13 months older than me!" the boy corrected.

Lani didn't give Uzi angrily, who obediently shut up. She sighed, touched the child's hair and said: "Ellen, not everything can be solved with a fist. Besides, you will always run into a guy who can't win. What will you do then?"

The boy's big bright red eyes rolled around, and he blurted out: "I will run away, and then wait until I get older and stronger, and then come back to make him look good!"

Then said triumphantly: "But mom, there is no one I can't win. The things Uncle Uzi taught me are so useful."

Uzi's face suddenly became embarrassed. When Lanni turned her head, he smiled bitterly: "I only teach him something to protect himself, really."

"Well, I suddenly remembered that Peter wanted to discuss something with me, so I'll go first."

The cowboy fled, looking at the man's back, Lanni shook her head: "Come on, we should eat."
