Chapter 16 - Crisis on Flaming Star planet

In the year 2027, Apocalypse arrived on Flaming Star, and forty-two 'devouring zones' within the diameter of several hundred kilometres appeared in various places around the world, officially named doomsday.

Since that day, doomsday began spreading a radiation-viled dark curtain, named dark star abyss, expanding hundreds of kilometres every day. Daylight began to dwindle, and after reaching a certain cycle the covered area would enter into an extreme night.

Under the extreme night, climate disasters mutated, and creatures became infected, a tide of undead erupted and unknown horrors fell into the depths of the abyss....!

Human was forced to the brink of extinction.

After the end of the world, a small portion of people were affected by the radiation of the dark star abyss destruction zone and mutated in various ways. This provided them with a significant advantage in the survival test.

Soon, survival groups led by superpower users began to emerge like sparks, but these groups chose to remain dominant, becoming some local leaders of non-superpower users. In an abandoned parking lot or town.

"I am Professor Carth from the Northway City research institute. After calculating those areas already affected by Dark Star Abyss will be swallowed by the extreme night again in 4 days. This time there would be no sunrise... Hahaha, it's over physics... had become so laughable, no one can escape... Hahaha!"

"Dark Star Abyss is the massager sent directly by God to cleanse the wicked and root out the evil thoughts and souls of humanity on Flaming stars. As long as one has a repentant heart, one may join our heavenly paradise sect to avoid further disaster. Before God sends a messenger to deliver us. Water, food, clothing and pure maidens, and the savour God will not harm the innocent. Those seeking salvation from suffering can contact 143...."

In the darkness, a boy who resembled a withered corpse, slowly tuned the radio with trembling hands. With the extreme content becoming more and more prevalent. It seemed that after half a month, the majority had already fled.

Just the the thirty-sixth day of extreme night had turned the once billions-populated world into he'll on Flaming Star. And who knew how long the next extreme night would last. And whether many won't starve to death or will last until dawn?

However, after the fourth extreme night, most of the network and facilities had already collapsed. Apart from some survivors who could still be heard on the radio hiding out in their shelters.

All of the world, was in utter silence.
