Chapter-6

Upon awakening the following day, Wang Xu gazed upon the bleached surface of the ceiling and emitted a deep exhalation.

Ultimately, his life was not taken by the creature with twin sickles.

"Xu'er, are you conscious?" uttered a voice that was recognizable, and the disbelief in his inflection was indescribable.

Wang Xu's eyes became teary as he called out to his mother.

Despite the fact that the hair in front of him appeared partially grey, the woman sporting facial wrinkles at just forty years of age was none other than Lin Hui, his mother.

As Wang Xu's mother extended her hand to caress his face, tears welled up and streamed down her cheeks. Wang Xu was overcome by emotions as his mother's loving gaze and the calloused texture of her palm, amassed over many years, touched his heartstrings, causing his eyes to well up with tears.

"Don't fret, Xu'er is alright. Please refrain from shedding tears and causing any commotion," advised the stone-faced father, Wang Zhenguo.

Even though my father appeared harsh in his words, he had a gentle and tender heart. Once he confirmed his own safety, he proceeded to brush off the extensive amount of soot that coated his hands.

Li Lian was also present when Wang Xu's behavior caused a near-death experience and urged him to avoid any future dangerous actions. When Wang Xu regained consciousness, he breathed a long sigh of relief and expressed his concern.

With a faint grin, Wang Xu assured, "There's nothing to worry about. My life has a lot of room to maneuver, and I cannot perish just yet."

A group of individuals were engaged in conversation and appeared to be enjoying themselves with amusement. Shortly after, the nurse arrived to allow the patient to relax, prompting Wang Xu's guardians and Li Lian to depart.

Wang Xu released a prolonged exhalation and caressed his stomach. The injury inflicted by the creature with two sickles has now recovered and formed a protective crust. With the advancement of medical expertise, modern treatments can provide a solution even in the most critical cases, promising possible recovery even with a single breath. The cost is comparatively significant.

Subsequently, Wang Xu retrieved a history book that his parents had acquired and proceeded to peruse its pages.

The year 2050 witnessed an era of tranquility and peace until the abrupt invasion of the Zerg army on December 31st disrupted the calmness that prevailed.

The Zerg massacred and consumed the flesh of the human race. They possess a robust physique and immense physical prowess. Not even a bullet impact would be capable of causing them any harm. The Zerg army's killing spree proved too much for humans to handle, ultimately leading to the employment of nuclear weaponry. Regardless of the efforts made, the conclusion remains unaltered - the abundance of Zerg is overwhelming, and eliminating them entirely is unattainable.

In merely a few years, the world's population has decreased by up to 80%!

A catastrophic event of unparalleled magnitude is on the horizon, with the potential to wipe out humanity and jeopardize all individuals
