Power Armor

I have never been afraid of death, because I firmly believe that I will live. I have never tasted the taste of being alive, because from the moment I opened my eyes... I have been dead... The seventh world, planet X35, 275 years of the end of the world... 275 years have passed since the glare of nuclear annihilation, and this once glorious planet has already become a dead place. No matter how splendid civilization is, it will end one day. Most of the human beings who were once the spirits of creation have been killed by weapons of their own making. The rest can only struggle in despair and death... No one can escape this place of death. Human beings always have to pay the price for their arrogance. The sky was dark and cloudy, and the wind swept the sand and gravel across the ground. Like a piece of sharp blade. Torturing and killing all creatures that dare to appear in front of them. This is a desolate land. Looking around, there are sharp rocks and large pieces of gravel everywhere. Occasionally, black steel bars can be seen protruding from the ground. Like the fangs of the devil. This is the world of death... People who were once alive said so. At that time, they could still grab a little supplies to sustain themselves under the threat of the death wind. You can still see a little bit of sunlight every morning, and you can still collect a little bit of dew from the steel bars of the abandoned buildings. Although the dew is not enough to keep everyone alive, it is enough to give people hope. At that time, there were far less mutant creatures on the ground than there are today. People can also occasionally go out of their hiding places, looking for hope of survival in the land full of radiation and death.  but now…… The death wind has been raging on this barren land for decades. In the face of their terrifying speed of nearly forty meters per second, not many creatures dare to hope to survive. The mutated creatures that were once regarded as tigers and wolves are also as fragile as babies in front of it. The earth has been completely torn apart. There are rocks everywhere that have been torn apart by the strong wind. The entire planet quickly gritted. It's hard to see a little bit of green anymore. On the current planet X35, only the huge ruined cities left by the former civilizations still stand stubbornly. The black lacquer looks like wounded and dying giants, complaining their anger and powerlessness to the sky. The sky was covered with dark clouds, and the death winds were still unbridled in their violence. But on the distant horizon, the ruins of a huge city are gradually showing their heads. As the field of vision zoomed in, the outline of the ruins rapidly enlarged. This is a standard pre-civilization level 3 city ruin. The high-rise buildings of reinforced concrete are like a concrete forest. Looking around, there are huge collapsed buildings everywhere in the city. Although the outside winds were raging, the wind that entered the ruins was no longer so deadly due to the obstruction of these buildings. Near the entrance of the ruins, a tall building with more than 30 floors stood firmly. Its upper half has been broken off, but two numbers are still vaguely printed on the rest of the building. "27" No. 27 Ruin Refuge. ... Under a certain concrete slab in the ruins, a pair of eyes were quietly staring at the open space not far away. The owner of the eyes was very quiet. He didn't even blink when the wind was blowing and crackling the front of the gravel. In the shadows, he was like a lifeless stone. There is no breath of life. Be quiet, I don't need to breathe. That would give away my bearings. Heartbeat slowed down a little. I will blend in with the environment. I am a stone, a stone without life. It won't see me, and it won't feel me. I am a stone, a lifeless stone... Under the concrete slab, Xue Tong's gaze was fixed on a huge black shadow thirty meters away. It was a sandworm. He waited five hours for his prey. Although in this damn end time, the flesh tissues of most animals are inedible. But the sandworm is an exception. Its bloated body can always find some uninfected flesh, which is plump and juicy. Strictly speaking, sandworms are not too dangerous prey. Although it has a length of more than five meters and a thick body. But generally they lurk in the sand sea and do not take the initiative to attack passengers. But this one is an exception. Just an hour ago, Xuetong saw with his own eyes that three predators who tried to get close to it were eaten. The sandworm has a very good appetite, and any food can satisfy its stomach. So those three hunters now have not even a hair left. Gently covering his mouth and nose, Xue Tong tried to hide himself a little deeper. In order to gain an advantage in the upcoming hunt. He is also a hunter. In the last days, this is the occupation that most men have. But Xuetong is different from ordinary hunters. He knows how to hide, observe better, and use his natural weapons better. So it was easy for him to know that the sandworm was different today. This is a sandworm about to lay eggs. Because only during this period will they crawl out of the sandy sea outside the city. into the ruins. It is for the scrap steel bars that can be seen everywhere in the ruins. These steel bars will provide the metal elements that the sandworm needs. In order to make it spawn more smoothly. Small sandworms are stronger. But the sandworms in this period are also the most dangerous. Those few predators just didn't pay attention to this and got eaten. The sandworms during the ovulation period are extremely aggressive, and they will violently attack any creatures that try to approach them. And its unique mouthparts can expand to a diameter of three meters. The sharp teeth inside are enough to chew the metal plate in an instant. Xuetong watched the three hunters being eaten by sandworms. From his distance he could even hear the creak of sandworms chewing on bones and the screams of predators. But he watched without moving, his eyes were cold and ruthless. This is the end of the world, and moral emotions have long since ceased to exist. All life strives to be alive. "Soso Soso..." A strange voice came from ahead, and the sandworm finally ate a scrap steel bar and hiccupped in satisfaction. Its appearance is like a fat, white and fat maggot, only the head is cracked. Normally it hides in the sand. It's just that today it has to expose its body above the surface if it wants to enter the ruins of the city. The ground of the ruins is made of cement and steel. Even sandworms are not easy to penetrate. The blood pupils under the shadows still hide their aura. Quietly watching the prey. Sandworms that are full will return to the sand sea by the same route. This is his chance. For this moment, he had buried more than thirty sharpened steel bars on the road when the sandworm came. As long as the sandworm passes by, the sharp steel bars will scratch its belly. Pull out its guts. "Soso Soso..." The sandworm was still making that weird sound, and it finally started to return after eating. Slowly like a huge maggot, it stretched and retracted, leaving behind disgusting mucus on the way it crawled. Gradually, a little bit closer to Xuetong's trap. Xue Tong's breathing became short of breath. The hand covering the mouth and nose gradually tightened. In the other hand, he firmly grasped a sharpened steel bar. Veins popped up on the back of his hand. Five meters... Three meters... Xuetong was not far from the trap, so he could clearly see the sandworm approaching and crawling past the place where he set the trap. The sandworm has no eyes, so it doesn't know that the originally safe road is now covered with sharp steel bars that look like canine teeth. "Aww!!!" The continuously crawling sandworm suddenly let out a roar. Curled up violently. At that moment, Xuetong clearly saw a long wound appearing on its abdomen. Green mucus kept coming out of it.  it's time! ! Xue Tong fled out violently. The strength accumulated for five hours completely exploded at this moment. Let him be like a cannonball flying close to the ground. His sprinting movement is very strange, not running on two legs like ordinary people. Instead, it landed on all fours like a cheetah. This posture not only makes his movements more explosive, but also more flexible. You can change direction at any time by relying on the strength of your hands on the ground. These are all changes made in order to survive. Xue Tong is easier to adapt than most people, so he is still alive until now. The short distance of tens of meters passed by under the sprint of Xuetong. He had come near the back of the sandworm. Because he hid so well, Sandworm didn't even notice his existence. But instinctively, Sandworm still senses the impending danger. Let out a piercing roar. At this moment, Xue Tong jumped up violently. He knew that the sandworm was about to start an instinctive counterattack, spitting out extremely corrosive acid from its mouth. This spray is all-around coverage. If it is stained with acid, it will be dissolved in an instant. But what he was waiting for was this moment. In an instant, the muscles in his legs stretched powerfully, giving him explosive strength. In this jump, he jumped more than three meters high. He stepped on the back of the sandworm. Then he sprinted three times in a row, and climbed onto the neck of the sandworm with his hands and feet. Raising his right hand, the sharp steel bar has already pierced the top of the sandworm's mouth. There is a sarcoma-like protrusion there. "Pfft!" With a sound, the sarcoid was pierced by the steel bar, and a large ball of white pulp burst out. But Xuetong rushed forward indifferently, and began to devour it with big mouthfuls. This is the brains of sandworms. The sarcoid is the brain of the sandworm, which is usually hidden and only revealed when it is about to spit acid. In order to obtain this information, Xuetong spent a full two pieces of high-quality copper ore on the black market. "Ow!!" The sandworm let out a painful roar, rolling and wriggling desperately. But Xuetong's fingers sank deeply into its body like steel claws. Say nothing and never let go. While swallowing gulps, he tried his best to let himself hang on the sandworm. Just like an octopus. In this case, no matter how hard the sandworm tried, it couldn't hurt him. At most, it would add some scratches on his body due to struggling and rolling. The sandworm struggled desperately and roared. Its huge body rolled on the ground, stirring up a large cloud of dust. At the same time, a large amount of green liquid was spit out from the mouth. As soon as these liquids splashed onto the ground, a large amount of white mist came out, corroding the ground into large pits. Xue Tong escaped most of the acid because he was tightly attached to the sand worm, but he accidentally got a little bit of it when the sand worm rolled over, and his clothes were corroded immediately, and his skin was burned. a feeling of. His body twitched involuntarily in pain. But he was already tightly attached to the sandworm, and he would not let go no matter what. Those who can survive in the last days must learn to be ruthless, not only to the prey, but also to themselves. Xuetong knew that although the sandworm's acid was terrifying, a little bit of contamination would not melt him. Pain at best. But if he couldn't hold on and fell, he would be swallowed by sandworms in an instant. The sandworm is still struggling violently. As a creature of the last days, its vitality is very strong. But the outcome of this hunt was doomed from the start. After struggling for more than ten minutes, the sandworm finally slowed down and finally stopped moving. When the last trace of life disappears from it. The blood pupil fell from its body. Then sat down on the ground. At this moment, his body was already covered in scars. There are also large corrosion marks on the back. But he was still expressionless, and dragged out a large bag of tools from the hiding place, and began to decompose the sandworm. The fight between him and the sandworm lasted for more than ten minutes. Xuetong wondered if someone would find out and rush over at this moment. But he still didn't want to take the risk. Every bit of food in the last days is worth fighting for. Xuetong didn't want to turn from a hunter into a prey.
