Time is the most powerful weapon. It can destroy anything without a sound, even the whole world.

The largest influenza pandemic had ended in three days, but the confusion and chaos caused by the pandemic only subsided after a month had passed. Just when people thought that things had passed and life was beginning to stabilize, a global catastrophe approached quietly.

On July 4th, 2013, the weather was humid and hot. It was no different from previous summers. But it was on this day that a new era, called the "Century of Death" 500 years later, began. Humans would enter a period of hardship and darkness they had never seen before.

Due to the advent of the apocalypse, the year 2013 was called the "First Year of the New World" and July 4th was recorded in the annals of history as the first day of the New World.

As the only person who had experienced the apocalypse and was born again, Gong Xiangyi had this day deeply entrenched in her memory. As soon as she gave them her warning, Gong father, Old Lin, Song Haoran and Lin Wenbo went to the army to prepare one week in advance. Gong father and Old Lin were responsible for cleaning up the zombies in the provincial garrison. Song Haoran and Lin Wenbo were responsible for cleaning up the zombies in the suburban training camp. The four people did not dare to slack off as they were determined to minimize the army's casualties.

Among the people who had the flu, there would be zombies and there would be ability users. The zombies would be destroyed whilst the abilities of the ability users would be strictly managed to protect them from zombies. It would be a great loss for not only the army, but the entirety of mankind if ability users were to die to zombies before their abilities had developed. It was even more crucial to protect the ability users because Gong Xiangyi had predicted that a powerful ability user would be able to easily deal with thousands of people from the army. Their combat effectiveness would be extremely strong.


Therefore, in order to not accidentally hurt these talents, Gong father and Song Haoran had to resort to extraordinary means. Because there were too many soldiers who had the flu, there was not enough space to separate them one by one. Gong father and Song Haoran had called them out for an emergency situation half an hour before the eclipse occurred, telling them that the apocalypse was coming and allowed them to fully arm themselves. Each person was armed with a military dagger which they held in their hand. Gong father constantly repeated, "If the person beside you attacks you without any reason at the end of the eclipse, stab that person in between the eyebrows. It is necessary to hit the brain."

The entire army was in an uproar once Gong father's speech was finished due to the ruthless instructions Gong father had given to them. But it was the duty of soldiers to obey orders, so after a short period of hesitation, these well-trained soldiers armed themselves and held the daggers solemnly.

They thought it was just a drill, and that the so-called apocalypse was nothing but nonsense. They thought that the weapons in their hands were too dull and would not hurt people. They thought that their fellow soldiers would not attack for no reason after the end of the solar eclipse. But no matter what their current thoughts were, the tragedy that would occur after the eclipse would completely change their minds.

Whilst this was all happening, ordinary soldiers who had never been infected with the virus were positioned in buildings around the training grounds. Each person held a sniper rifle which was aimed at the training grounds. Their muzzles were aimed at their fellow soldiers in the training grounds. They also got the same order; after the eclipse ended, the soldiers that attacked others without any cause were to be killed on the spot.
