Divine Tribulation of the Star Civilization - Chapter Extra 1. The heart of light under the dark curtain

[Extra 1. The heart of light under the dark curtain]

Many years later, when Joyner recalled that past event, she was still frightened.

Unexpectedly, he almost left this world and completely became a corpse.

Tick tock…tick tock…

It’s raining, and the rain has a slight smell.

Gray clouds sweep across, and under the dark sky, everything around you looks like wilderness. Occasionally, you can see the ruins of pre-civilization buildings on the abrupt surface under the hills, as well as scattered plants, which makes Joyner feel a glimmer of hope.

Three hours? Five hours?

she does not know.

In short, Joyner has climbed several kilometers in the wilderness, but still has not left this miserable area.

According to the vague memories from hundreds of years ago, this was a very huge military base. She had even touched the broken asphalt pavement under the depression – it was originally part of the runway of the base airport, but she didn’t know why it became like this?

Joyner didn’t know how many years she had been sleeping before this place turned into this state. With her memory and tenacious life, she knew that this place was definitely the military base.

The asphalt on the roadbed could prove it, as could the surrounding emptiness, and she could tell her direction from this.

However, the exhausted Joyner wanted to take a rest, but was disturbed by a sudden burst of acid rain. The acid rain only lasted for more than ten minutes, but it brought great fear.

“No… we must find a safe place to shelter from the rain…”

“Keep walking… don’t stop… keep walking, I don’t want to be corroded by such strong acid rain… If this continues… I will die. .” Joyner gasped, thinking to herself, trying to calm down her emotions.

At this moment, she was half-clothed, and the only hospital gown with a number on her body had been scratched by low thorns and rough gravel, almost torn into pieces.

“But… do I still have the strength to keep going…?”

“Can I… still climb into that seemingly abandoned building?”

I can’t control that much anymore, I have to speed up!

Joyner gritted her teeth and continued crawling.

“Hold on…I’m Joyner Faith…the last genetically modified body. Even if I can only hold on to that tree…it’s better to escape this acid rain!”

Her lips were chapped and she had already burst into tears. Skin.

Her pale, fragile lips seemed to be full of ravines, but she still pursed her lips tightly to prevent a drop of rainwater from flowing into her mouth.

The strange thing is that her originally smooth skin is still the same. Apart from the dirt and dirt, there is almost no change visible.

At first, she thought it was the body’s dehydration reaction caused by climate drought, starting with her lips, but she soon realized that it was due to the components of acid rain.

This kind of acid rain is so terrible. Joyner speculates that the rainwater may be composed of amine proteins or contain toxic substances such as bile. Mixed together, these substances can strongly irritate human skin, causing redness, swelling, pain and even ulcers.

When she first came into contact with it, she only felt local itching on her skin, causing a stinging and burning sensation. After a while, she started to feel pain internally and externally, which was extremely painful.

After dozens of minutes, the burning and itching sensations subsided a lot, and to her shock, her physical strength slowly recovered after that.

She didn’t know that she was actively adapting to the acid rain, and that the cells in her body had changed the way they absorbed water. Her cells were rejuvenating like crazy, greedily devouring the feared amine proteins.

Under the night, she saw two trees on a desolate mound.

The two trees look very similar, one big and one small. The giant tree’s giant canopy extends to the bottom. It is roughly estimated that it is enough to cover a six or seven-story building.

The smaller trees don’t look very good, and their nutrients seem to have been taken away by the big tree.

finally climbed up.

When Joyna came closer, she discovered that this shorter tree was more than thirty meters tall. The crown of the tree spread out in a radial shape, and the leaves were growing well. It could be said to be very huge. This tree has a strange shape, not straight and twisted, but its trunk is very strong.

According to her estimation, with such a thick diameter, three people might not be able to hold it.

Joyner couldn’t recognize what kind of tree it was. With her physical strength restored, her consciousness became clearer. Under the dense and thick tree canopy, a large dry open space is covered, which can fully accommodate several heavy armored vehicles to park without being exposed to wind and rain.

“Is it an illusion?”

Joyner felt that she was still in a daze. She squinted her eyes, raised her head, and looked at it for a while.

“There are no plants along the way in the wilderness. Why can such a big tree grow here?”

Although this place should be familiar, she did not remember seeing such a huge tree around the base. And it’s strange that there is no grass growing anywhere else, only these two trees grow alone on this mound.

The word “weird” instantly appeared in her mind.

“Maybe it’s the nutrients in the ground?”

Joyner thought wildly, but gave up investigating after a while. Because she was already exhausted, she had no choice but to curl up as much as possible and lean against the tree trunk, trembling all over.

The rain had soaked her clothes, and a gust of wind blew by, and she didn’t feel cold until now.

This feeling is so strange!

Joyner was dismayed to find that this place was completely unfamiliar and there was nothing there.

In other words, this is not the world she remembers.

Trapped, hungry, thirsty, cold – all kinds of uncomfortable feelings were mixed together and attacked her all at once.

“Huh -“

She was really tired, so she tried to turn over and lay down on her back. Looking at the huge tree crown, he let his limbs be placed as he pleased without moving.

She needed to continue to regain her strength, and then find some food to satisfy her hunger, or see if she could find water nearby. But all this is based on the premise that she can walk, so now, it is better for her to move less.

At this time, she suddenly heard some sounds coming from the ground. She shuddered, propped herself up on her elbows, and looked around.

The night was as dark as ever, but she tried to identify it for a long time, but she couldn’t hear any sound.

Is it still an illusion?

No matter how much it is, I need to get some sleep first!

A wave of extreme fatigue hit her instantly. Joyner relaxed and her eyelids began to tremble slightly. She looked at the swaying tree shadows, slowly closing her eyes, and her memories spread.

Since leaving the “hibernation warehouse”, she has spent a long time in fear and despair. Then a strong desire to survive began to appear. Joyner decided to leave the abyss and spent about five days climbing out of the well of death…

No, maybe five days? Seven days? Who cares!

On the abandoned hanging ladder, Joyner raised her head several times and stared at the sky, but she was unable to tell the time by the brightness and angle of the sunlight.

The tentacles felt only as cold as metal, but she persisted.

She had nothing left anyway, but she had time.
