Chapter 2, The History of the Fall

Soon, the United Nations announced the establishment of the Earth Republic, where all nations cast aside their past prejudices to form an unprecedentedly powerful military alliance, declaring war against the forces of darkness

Li Yi's thoughts were on the marvelous Star Network and the Morning Star system that would be delivered tonight, so as soon as the training session concluded, he returned home early

It has been fourteen years since the fall, and today Li Yi is going to the Ninth Advanced Tactical School in Jinan City to participate in the summer training; he is an intern soldier

Moreover, according to the information deciphered from that alien spacecraft, the phenomenon of biological mutation is not limited to Earth; it has already spread throughout the entire universe

Li Yi's bicycle appears no different from an ordinary mountain bike, except that a compact 1,000-watt hub motor is installed at the rear wheel position, and the frame conceals a controller along with twenty 18650 batteries

Every second waiting for the delivery of the Morning Star system is a torment for Li Yi, who is eager to see what this Force cultivation system, originating from a highly advanced civilization, actually looks like

Scientists on Earth have also begun to study the valuable resources, technology, and forces obtained from extraterrestrial spacecraft

In the boundless interstellar space and the vast depths of the cosmos, those extraterrestrial civilizations unknown and misunderstood by humanity have been engaged in battles against the suddenly spreading dark forces and - illustrations - for tens of thousands of years

Although the battle armor and weapons currently used on Earth are also derived from advanced extraterrestrial civilization technology, the time that Earth has been exposed to high-level technology is still too short. Compared to the various equipment manufactured by advanced extraterrestrial civilizations, there is a significant gap.

Mutated humans are similar to zombies, bloody and brutal, having lost the most basic human thoughts and emotions. In contrast, mutated beasts are even more powerful; large mutated animals can grow as tall as a pyramid, capable of crushing hundreds of tons of boulders with a single bite

As a prospective warrior, Li Yi will inevitably require armor and weapons in the future. Only high-level armor can withstand the frenzied bites of mutated beasts, and only advanced weapons capable of cutting through hair can slice through the thick scales of these mutated creatures

After last night's adjustment, Li Yi has developed a good rapport with Ke Le, understanding how to utilize this little fellow's powerful abilities

Ten years of downfall, July, the Battle of New Zealand, a tragic defeat for humanity! New Zealand has fallen

One month after the arrival of the alien spacecraft, terrifying biological mutations occurred in North America, transforming humans into mutants, while countless mutated beasts also emerged simultaneously

It only takes a few minutes to fully charge, and each charge allows for a range of over 2,000 kilometers

Three months later, from south to north, the entire Americas announced its fall

As for the day when the alien spacecraft brought darkness and *images* to Earth, it was designated as the Day of Subjugation. The Earth Republic began to implement new legislation, the Subjugation Calendar, serving as a constant reminder that Earth had entered a countdown to destruction

The images on the screen changed rapidly as Li Yi logged into the interstellar network in the identity of an exorcist, countless high-level items captivated him.

Unfortunately, the alien spacecraft brought not only unknown civilizations but also catastrophic disasters

... ...

On the other hand, mutants and mutated beasts have already eradicated America and Australia, and it is only a matter of time before they land in Asia, the last stronghold of humanity. Population explosion and dark invasions are making survival increasingly difficult

The program on the first day of summer training is relatively simple, beginning with a speech, followed by the assignment of temporary classes and instructors. The instructors then take the new students on a tour of the campus, informing them about the layout and functions of the school

Looking around, even in a somewhat rustic city like Jinan, the streets are filled with blonde-haired, blue-eyed Americans and Australians, all of whom immigrated here after their homelands fell into decline

Humanity has finally come to understand that it is not the only intelligent life in the universe, and has obtained a wealth of valuable technological information from this fallen spacecraft

Swish ~

It is the best of times, it is the worst of times

From ancient times to the present, the opening ceremony of any school has been no exception, and naturally, the Advanced Tactical High School is no different. Listening to the lengthy discourse of the principal on the podium, Li Yi, who was engrossed in the Star Alliance Network last night, felt drowsy.

On one hand, the spaceship that descended from the sky brought technology and the Force, leading to an unprecedented advancement of Earth’s civilization. It is said that before long, the spacecraft of the space agency will also be unveiled, and humanity on Earth will finally embark on the journey to the stars and the vast ocean of space

However, Kele is filled with affection for Li Yi, as Li Yi's thinking appears to be very inclusive. He does not regard himself as a machine, but rather as a good partner, which is quite different from Kele's original owner

Most bicycles today are equipped with electric assist systems. Graphene technology has significantly improved battery capacity. Before the application of graphene technology, industrial 18650 model batteries had a maximum capacity of only 3.4 ampere-hours per cell, whereas now it has increased a thousandfold, reaching an astonishing 3000 ampere-hours

As Li Yi, who barely entered the Higher Tactical School with a low score, is quite concerned about this matter, he hopes that the Morning Star system can provide him with some assistance

Li Yikan looked on with great envy and muttered to himself, "Coke, is there any way to earn some star coins on the Star Alliance network?"

Li Yi sped along the road at no less than 40 kilometers per hour, like a nimble loach, weaving in and out of narrow gaps

Most elementary schools, middle schools, and even universities have been reorganized into tactical schools

"Coke, connect to the Star Network," Li Yi commanded softly

Countless prophets, scientists, and religious zealots have envisioned the scenario of the end of the world numerous times, but perhaps no one could have imagined that the end is not merely the end of the Earth, but the end of the entire universe

What concept? It means that a bicycle weighing only 10 kilograms can rely entirely on electricity to travel from Shandong to Guangdong, taking just five minutes to fully charge, and can return from Guangdong to Shandong, as long as there is sufficient physical stamina.

Once summer has passed, reallocation will be conducted based on summer training results, with those showing potential entering elite classes, while those lacking potential will have to follow the crowd, or even face elimination

Certainly, as an instructor, it is inevitable to conduct a profound ideological education for the students, encouraging them to be proactive and to become true Force warriors at the earliest opportunity

Fourteen years ago, a spaceship belonging to extraterrestrials suddenly appeared and crashed in the Great Lakes region of North America

Twelve years of downfall, September, the Battle of Australia, humanity suffers another devastating defeat! The entire Oceania declares its fall!

It turns out that even the vast Pacific Ocean cannot prevent the invasion of darkness! It turns out that the end of the world and the * picture * book day are so close to oneself!

By this point, the tentacles of the mutated organisms have extended to Southern Asia, threatening the security of the entire Eurasian continent

As a cycling enthusiast, Li Yi has never denied the tremendous benefits and conveniences that extraterrestrial technology has brought to humanity on Earth

Between the Americas and the Eurasian continent lies the vast Pacific and Atlantic Oceans. People, in a state of panic, believed that they could rely on the oceans to sever the onslaught of the mutated beasts.

What is even more terrifying is that these mutated dark creatures are not afraid of thermal weapon attacks. Missiles striking their heads can only eliminate a small portion of the mutated beasts, while the surrounding mutated creatures absorb energy from the missile explosions, becoming even larger and more frenzied

On that day, the entire world was utterly shocked

Therefore, for humanity to survive, it must learn to harness the Force, a power that exists within the very essence of humanity

Humanity has begun to embrace Force training, striving to become powerful warriors capable of combating the darkness

Soon, all of North America was occupied by mutated beasts and mutated humans, and the disaster crossed the Caribbean region, beginning to spread towards South America

However, seven years after the complete fall of the American continent, mutated beasts and mutated humans suddenly landed on the Hawaiian Islands. Seven days later, Hawaii announced its fall. The United States, once the most powerful country in the world, finally lost its last inch of territory, being completely erased from the map
