Preface New Era
"This is the best era, this is the worst era; this is the era of wisdom, this is the era of stupidity; this is the period of faith, this is the period of doubt; this is the season of light, this is the season of darkness; this is the spring of hope, this is the winter of disappointment; there are all kinds of things in front of people, and there is nothing in front of people Yes; people are going straight to heaven, and people are going straight to hell." - A Story of Two Cities
2012, Sanya, Hainan.
"Dad, Dad, what did I find?" The teenager in a straw hat excitedly raised the conch in his hand, as if he had found a great treasure. His immature face flashed with excitement. The bright black eyes under the brim of the hat were without impurities, as if the brightest stars were shining on the world.
A big hand fell on the straw hat. The reason for the backlight made people unable to see the appearance clearly, leaving only a tall figure.
The bright laughter sounded: "Good boy, you have found a great baby. Why don't you show it to your mother."
"Hmm!" The teenager nodded vigorously and ran to a parasol on the beach with a smile.
Laughter echoes on the beach in Sanya, simple and happy.
Suddenly, the wind broke out.
Without warning, a strong wind blew from the distant sky and blew away the teenager's straw hat.
"Ah, my hat... Son..." The teenager raised his head and watched the straw hat fly into the sky.
The blue sky was somehow occupied by the gray clouds that kept hovering. The wind is rolling clouds and dragons, and the sky and the earth are changing color. It seems that a storm is coming.
The father of a teenager, a tall middle-aged man, ran quickly, took the child's hand, and shouted in the direction of the umbrella: "Honey, let's go back to the hotel soon. It's going to rain..."
He didn't say anything, but he was interrupted by the teenager's anxious voice: "Dad, look up there. What is that?"
The middle-aged man raised his head. In his sight, there seemed to be something passing over the gray clouds in the sky, and a red trajectory appeared.
The red trace became more and more red, as if the gray clouds were bleeding, which made people very uneasy.
The middle-aged man just wanted to comfort the child, but the sky was red, but a big fireball fell from the gray cloud. The clouds rolled and was burned by a fireball. So people on the beach can clearly see that after the cloud hole, there are fireballs constantly scratching over the blue sky.
"Is that a meteor? Dad?" The teenager's face was full of doubts. He has never seen a meteor, but he has never seen such a huge fireball burning.
The middle-aged man has forgotten how to answer the child's questions. His eyes followed the fireball that swept out of the clouds and watched it fall into the distant sea. After a while, a deafening sound came from a distance. The sound rolled over like thunder. With the loud noise, the ground also shook violently, so the beach screamed everywhere, and people were constantly overturned to the ground by the strong earthquake.
"Go!" The middle-aged man roared, pulled the child and ran back, but heard the sound of the waves rolling behind him and people screaming.
"Tsunami!"
I don't know who shouted, but it spread in the crowd like a plague. People panicked, and the terror spread like waves, and the whole beach was in a mess.
The teenager was grabbed by his father and ran away, but looked back curiously. His eyes passed through his father's strong arm and fell to the sea behind him. However, it was found that the originally calm sea has now set off a wave of dozens of meters, pressing towards the beach like a huge wall.
And behind this sea wall, the teenager's eyes reflected a dazzling light.
The next moment, the strong light bloomed and swept the beach faster than the tsunami.
The teenager flew up. He never felt so light, so... Hot!
Yes, the unimaginable heat swept over the body surface. On that day, the real child had gone to heaven without even saying a word. At the moment of his death, all he saw in his eyes was flames.
Mountain flames burned from the other side of the sea, lighting the beach, tourists and buildings in an instant and burning them to ashes.
Looking down from the sky, you can see that the sea in the distance is occupied by strong light. A wave of flames came across the sea and swept the whole of Sanya, turning this famous tourist city at home and abroad into ruins in a blink of an eye, killing countless casualties!
On the same day, countless meteorites came through the air and attacked important cities in China, Japan, Africa, the United States, Germany, France and many other countries. The impact of meteorites changed the plate of the continent and triggered a tsunami. The torrential flood swept the world, and the doomsday predicted by the Bible began.
This day is called the "day of great disaster" by later generations!
After being baptized by meteorite rain, the earth is full of holes, the dust generated by the explosion covers the sky and the sun, and countless lives continue to wither. What's more deadly is the radiation generated by the explosion, which has turned the once prosperous surface into a hellish existence even after the flood has receded.
The shadow of death enveloped the whole earth, and the life that survived the catastrophe suffered the most cruel test of nature.
Countless lives are dying, but a small number of them survive in hell. Fifty years have passed quietly, and the lives that have survived, they, or their genes, have undergone earth-shaking changes.
The earth has ushered in a new era, but no one knows what kind of era it will be.
