The dark age of mankind is coming

The golden sun hangs above the blue sky, emitting thousands of beams of colorful light in all directions.

Mother Earth, with its countless high-rise buildings, is completely enveloped by it.

In this bustling city, on the busy streets, you can see busy people running around in every corner.

Some people are busy for a simple livelihood, wearing hard hats and helmets, riding large lunch boxes carrying various meals, with a line of large characters printed on them: "I would rather sell myself in a brothel in my next life, and never work as a takeaway boy again.", Shuttle through various buildings of different heights, new and old, climb on each floor, knock on the doors of thousands of households, and deliver food orders on time.

Some people are running for their dreams and ideals.

People come and go, going in different directions of the city, running in different corners, and are active in this city.

The warm sunshine shuttles freely around these people who are walking quickly.

In a remote corner of the city, there is an area of ​​high-end villas. The people living inside are either rich or noble people, or they are powerful people.

Because the real estate developer’s original concept when building this villa area was high-end, private, and safe.

In order to protect the privacy and safety of each family in the villa area, the distance between each villa is very large, and each villa is surrounded by a circle of towering trees, which not only makes the living environment more comfortable, but also can be more convenient. Good protection of the privacy of the house owner.

Among the dozens of villas, there is one with a relatively simple decoration style compared to other villas. It is a two-story small building style villa, and a young single woman lives in it.

The woman has been in the special forces for many years. After retiring, she became a free mercenary without borders named An Ning.

She looks gentle and demure on the outside, but she is actually a tough and strong woman on the inside. If he had not taken the college entrance examination for the first time, he would not have given up on Qingbei and directly applied for the military academy, regardless of the requests of his two academic parents.

An Ning has super strong skills and a high task completion rate. He can successfully complete almost every task he receives from his employer, and his failure rate is almost zero.

Therefore, An Ning is not at the top of the list of mercenaries, but she is still at the top. Many employers contact her to do tasks for them.

As a free mercenary, he has the right to choose tasks. Of course, An Ning does not accept all tasks. She has her own code of conduct and will never do anything that harms the country and is immoral.

An Ning's acting style means that she does not receive too many tasks every year.

But after each task is completed, she will receive a hefty commission, starting at at least eight digits and going up to nine or ten digits, depending on the difficulty of the employer's task.

For An Ning, money is just a number with a lot of zeros at the end.

When An Ning chooses the tasks to accept now, she only picks some that she finds interesting to accept and complete based on her own criteria.

Ever since he started living as a free mercenary, An Ning has lived in this villa most of the time, except when he was on missions.

Just because this villa is the only thing left to her by her deceased parents, and it is also the place where they have the most memories.

An Ning's parents, when she was on a mission as a special forces soldier, the two of them went on a plane trip together. During the flight, the plane encountered force majeure weather factors and an air crash occurred.

Both of them left this world and went to the place where people ultimately need to go.

Because her parents only had one child, and no relatives were still alive. After they died in the accident, peace in the world no longer had any relatives, and she became a lonely person.

It was also because of her parents' accidental plane crash that An Ning retired from the special forces directly.

When An Ning was on a confidential mission, she was not allowed to bring a mobile phone, so she didn't know about her parents in time.

After the mission was completed, when I received the news that my parents had died in a plane crash and returned home, I only saw the ashes of my parents, not even the last side of their bodies.

……

The Blue Star, on which mankind depends for survival, has become riddled with holes due to excessive human exploitation and use.

Until it kept sending reminders of natural disasters to humans, it still couldn't make humans really wake up. The angry Blue Star finally broke out.

June 2350, 6, was later named the beginning of a new century by the surviving humans on Blue Star.

On this day, An Ning had just returned from completing an order from a foreign employer. Once this task is completed, she will rest at home for some time.

In the villa area where An Ning is located, due to the issue of protecting the privacy of the residents, there is no supermarket where food can be purchased.

If the residents want to buy something, they need to go out of the villa area and go to a distant shopping mall or supermarket to buy it.

In order not to go out to shopping malls and other places to buy things every day and waste unnecessary time.

When An Ning returned home this time, she had already bought some food and supplies from the supermarket and online, and stocked them up at home.

Online shopping is also possible in the villa area, but couriers are not allowed to enter the community. All online shopping products purchased by owners are uniformly delivered to the property management office, and then delivered to each owner's residence by property management personnel.

Lying on a lounge chair on the balcony of the bedroom on the second floor of his home, sipping mellow red wine peacefully and leisurely, looking out from the empty balcony on the second floor of the villa.

The red sun sets little by little and rises in the west. A thin film-like transparent gas cover gradually rises from the depths of the earth's core to the surface.

Deep in the core of the earth, a stream of gas that was previously enveloped by a gas shield and remained motionless began to riot bit by bit.

As it gets closer to the surface, the volume of the entire air mask becomes larger and larger.

After emerging from the surface, the infinitely elastic air shield did not stop, but continued to expand, rising and spreading into the air.

Ben was enjoying the tranquility of the beautiful scenery on the open-air balcony. He accidentally absorbed the very small amount of gas stuck on the gas mask and trapped in the center of the earth, and he suddenly fell asleep in a daze.

The two slender and powerful arms gradually hung down weakly.

An Ning didn't know that this might be the last time she saw the beautiful sunset in her life, and it would only appear in her memory from now on.

The red wine glass held by the slender fingers slipped from his weak hands and fell to the ground before he could put it on the table. One of the splashed glass fragments scratched An Ning's wrist and leaked a little. Bright red blood.

This little bit of pain is almost imperceptible to An Ning.

While doing tasks, she was often shot and slashed. She was used to being injured and bleeding, so An Ning still slept quietly on the recliner.

The blood flowing out of the wrist, due to the gravity on the Blue Star, flowed down bit by bit, and happened to flow onto the simple jade bracelet worn on An Ning's wrist.

There were faint shapes of vegetation on it, and the bracelet flickered slightly when it came into contact with the bright red blood beads.
