Chapter 1 The Purification Potion

"Purification potion?" Tang Su sat next to Li Tianran, glancing at the news on his computer. After reading it carefully, she lost interest. "Boss, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with us! Why are you so interested in it?"

The drinking water currently used on the farm is bottled purified water that Li Tianran exchanges for using points in the mall. Moreover, most of the people on the farm are Evolvers, so the disappearance or existence of these radiation toxins doesn't matter to them. It won't affect them in any way, so why pay attention?

Li Tianran chuckled and said, "Of course it matters!"

"With enough resources to sustain life, the world's powerful countries will slow down the pace of war. The later the flames of war spread to us, the more time we have to develop. The emergence of this purification potion is definitely good news for us."

Li Tianran felt pretty good after seeing this news. When people have hope of continuing to survive, they won't become crazy and want to destroy everything to be buried with them.

For the current farm, stable development is the most important thing.

The birth of the purification potion can undoubtedly delay the full arrival of war, giving Li Tianran more time to develop.

"Will the world return to what it was like before?" Tang Su asked softly.

"No." Li Tianran shook his head and said, "The emergence of the purification potion is just a glimmer of light in the dark sky. It can only shine faintly and is not enough to dispel all the darkness."

"First of all, it cannot purify all the toxins. After drinking the water, humans can still get sick, die, or mutate. It just reduces the possibility."

"Secondly, research on this purification potion also requires raw materials and costs. How many people are there in the world now? To maintain such a large amount of water purification work, how many raw materials and resources will be needed?"

"In this case, the emergence of the purification potion will only delay the war, destruction, death, or evolution that humans would have undergone in three months to one year."

Tang Su nodded silently after listening to Li Tianran's words.

In today's world, if you want to return to the beginning, unless time goes backwards, even if all the Beast Kings are wiped out and all humans become Evolvers, the war will not stop.

...

A fleet of warships flying the crimson golden dragon flag sailed on the sea. A rough-skinned officer with a full beard stood on the deck of the command ship, observing the distant sea with a telescope.

"Colonel Nanfu, we are approaching the waters of Rose Island. Should we prepare the naval gun team?" a young adjutant asked in a deep voice in English.

This is an army of a small country that is subordinate to the European Union. It received an order from the EU Navy to go to an island city in a small country in the North Sea for "resource integration."

Resource integration.

These four words sound very elegant and high-end, but everyone knows that this is just a beautiful coat put on by the European Union for itself. Its essence is to burn, kill, and loot in this island city that has already been ravaged by the beast tide once!

Every dependent country that relies on a powerful country must do similar work.

The bearded officer put down his telescope and nodded calmly. The fleet began to surround the distant island in an encircling manner.

Soon, the outline of an island appeared in front of the fleet.

"Woo!"

At this moment, a piercing alarm sounded over the sea. Two or three somewhat dilapidated drones flew from the distant island and shouted down to the fleet in English:

"You have entered our country's territorial waters, please withdraw immediately, otherwise we will regard it as an invasion..."

The bearded commander pointed to the drone in the sky and said in a deep voice, "Shoot it down!"

Kalala!

The anti-aircraft guns on the warship slowly raised, aimed at the drone above, and fired suddenly, and two balls of flames instantly exploded in the air!

Two drones were shattered on the spot, and the remaining drone flew away quickly.

The bearded officer waved his hand, and the adjutant issued instructions to the entire fleet. The hideous and huge gun barrels were raised, aiming at the island ahead.

"Three rounds of salvo, prepare to fire!"

As the cold command sounded in the command platform, these dozen warships spewed out deadly fire, and in an instant, countless exploding fireballs rose on the island a few kilometers away.

On this slightly dilapidated island, buildings were constantly collapsing, and the surviving humans were running away in panic. They cried and pleaded, and in the next second, their bodies were torn apart by shells and turned into a pool of blood on the earth...

Finally, the island began to fight back, but the sporadic shells flew towards the warship and were blown up in the air before they even approached, unable to form an effective counterattack at all.

The island was shaking, and the armed forces that were resisting desperately were also torn apart. The city that had been ravaged by the beast tide was already on the verge of collapse. The armed forces on the periphery of the island city finally collapsed completely after being bombarded by the naval fleet for a full ten minutes.

A large number of soldiers landed on the island and began to capture and massacre the survivors on the island. More soldiers began to search for resources in the ruins.

Boxes of medicines, supplies, materials, etc. were packed and transported onto cargo ships. Wails were everywhere in the city. In the ruins bombed by artillery fire, there were many people with broken arms and legs screaming in pools of blood, looking extremely miserable.

The bearded commander stood in the ruins, watching this scene, and slowly closed his eyes.

At this moment, a woman rushed out of the ruins, and two soldiers immediately raised their guns and aimed at her.

But the woman did not want to launch a suicide attack. She knelt down in front of the bearded commander, kowtowing repeatedly, and begged, "Please don't kill me... I can work, take me back, I can work for you!"

The bearded commander opened his eyes and asked, "What can you do?"

"I can weave cloth, I can tailor..." the woman said repeatedly.

The bearded commander shook his head: "Do you know what is most likely to happen to you if I take you back?"

The woman was stunned.

"You will be used as a drug test subject, experimenting with various drugs. You will live a life worse than death." The bearded commander dropped a dagger and said expressionlessly: "If I were you, I would choose to die here, together with my family."

The woman stared blankly at the dagger at her feet. After a long time, she picked up the dagger and cursed with resentment and despair: "You cruel demons, you will all be punished!"

Poof!

Blood splattered, and the woman's body fell to the ground.

"How am I qualified to be a demon? I'm just a dog under a demon..." The bearded officer looked at the scene in front of him and muttered to himself: "If I were really a demon, I would take you all back, and you would know that there are things in the world that are more unbearable than death."
