Has All of Humanity Disappeared?

Ten hours had passed.

Those who had been sedated were gradually waking up.

Waking up was ordinarily nothing unusual, but because different values had been forcibly attached to it, competition was everywhere. Even something as simple as waking up had caused a sensation.

Even before they had woken up,

international underground black-market casinos had already ranked each person and set different odds for them.

Of them all, Ye Jin was the biggest surprise. He looked physically weakest, yet he was the first to wake up.

Those who could place bets at international casinos weren't wagering mere thousands or tens of thousands.

Some had even thrown down millions or tens of millions, gambling big on who would wake up first.

If they won, their fortunes would multiply several times over in an instant!

But if they lost, they would also suffer a major blow, or even lose everything.

After Ye Jin woke up first, those who had bet on people from other countries flew into a rage, smashing everything in their homes. Some even went straight to the rooftop and jumped.

That was a gambler.

Win, and you had more money than you could spend in several lifetimes.

Lose, and you lost your life.

Yige'er of Iron Bear Country and Andrew of Sea Eagle Country also noticed that something was wrong with their surroundings after heading out.

They both rushed outside, shouting at the top of their lungs.

But no one in the entire hotel paid them any attention.

Everyone in the hotel seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving only traces of their presence behind.

After searching the hotel from top to bottom without finding anyone, Yige'er found a bottle of the most expensive XO in the lobby and began swigging straight from it.

Drinking as he went, he staggered outside.

It seemed that liquor was more important to him than his life.

Andrew of Sea Eagle Country, meanwhile, searched high and low to no avail. He then grabbed a hotel chair and went on a rampage, smashing all the glass in the hotel to pieces.

He smashed the television, refrigerator, and washing machine in his room to the floor. Clearly, none of them would work anymore.

Countless mocking comments flooded international social media.

"Where are all those people who were singing foreigners' praises just now? Get the fuck out here, every last one of you! This is the highly qualified talent from Sea Eagle Country you worship?"

"I didn't see anything else, but his violent tendencies are pretty damn serious. He smashed the whole hotel to pieces."

"With that fucking behavior, you can still sing his praises? Doesn't your mouth hurt?"

"They're all a bunch of trash. Wait until Jing Zhiyuan from my Night Cherry Country wakes up, and you'll know what highly qualified talent looks like."

"Two pieces of trash. My Rose of Sharon Country is the strongest. He's handsome and has a great personality."

"You above, stop gilding your own face. Who doesn't know what goes on in your country?"

"What do you mean by that?"

"I mean exactly what I said. If you don't like it, crawl through the internet cable and fight me! Trash!"

Compared with those two, Ye Jin had really brought them honor.

People who had been somewhat worried about him suddenly started to feel confident.

"The fourth, fifth, and sixth have woken up."

"Oh my god, what on earth is Jing Zhiyuan of Night Cherry Country doing? Is he already doing something unspeakable first thing in the morning?"

"Park Gukchang of Rose of Sharon Country, what is he doing rushing into a woman's room? Oh, god, he's actually peeing on her underwear."

The production team also seemed to have realized how indecent the footage was.

They immediately drew a curtain of mosaic over each of them, covering their entire bodies and concealing some of the embarrassment.

Countless abusive comments appeared in an instant.

Compared with other countries, their own countries hurled the most abuse at them, because they had disgraced their own countries.

Their crimes were beyond forgiveness.

Some even declared that they should disembowel themselves.

Impotent rage.

But not everyone was like that; each person behaved differently.

The remaining people did not vent inside the hotel. Instead, they rushed out and ran madly through the streets, searching for traces of humanity.

They also saw the messages on their phones.

They nearly went mad in an instant.

Where had they ended up? Why had all of humanity left?

Ye Jin exercised for an hour straight.

He only stopped when his head was covered in sweat.

Just then, an electronic notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Ding, the host has been detected burning five hundred calories. Skill Unparalleled Talent acquired. Five hundred calories have been converted into talent points."

"These talent points can be exchanged for any talent."

"Ding, friendly reminder: in one hundred days, the Ant Race, notorious throughout the universe, will invade Blue Water Planet. They will destroy all of humanity and drain Blue Water Planet's energy. Its resources exhausted, Blue Water Planet will thereafter wither and become a dead planet."

The Ant Race?

What did that mean?

A race of cosmic invaders?

His mind was full of questions. Things had seemed wrong at every turn ever since he appeared, and now the notification in his head gave him an even greater sense of urgency.

He couldn't wait to figure out exactly where he was.

Realizing something was wrong, he hurried back to his room and found his phone.

The moment he turned it on, he saw dozens of push notifications.

Blue Water Planet's resources were exhausted.

The Space Exploration Navigator Team had found a new planet in the universe. It was ten times larger than Blue Water Planet and had incredibly abundant resources.

By the collective decision of all humanity,

they had decided to leave their home planet for the new one.

My beloved home planet, the place that gave birth to me and raised me, I will remember you forever.

Blue Water Planet became a point of light and vanished from my world. My memories, too, seemed to slowly become points of light, gradually drifting away and becoming memories that would haunt my dreams.

Farewell, homeland.

Farewell, Blue Water Planet.

After reading all those posts, Ye Jin didn't know what to say.

His mind was utterly bewildered.

According to the time on his phone, only two or three days had clearly passed.

Had all of humanity really disappeared?

Or had the time on his phone become frozen in space-time, unable to move forward?

He didn't believe it.

He had to go out and see for himself.

He left the hotel and headed outside to find his answer.

When the foreign viewers saw this, they started attacking him again.

"He saw the messages. He must be really lost right now, huh? Does he want to burst into tears and give himself over to his impulses?"

"Hahaha, he just hadn't seen those messages. Otherwise, how much better than our observers do you think he'd be?"

"I can't wait to see what crazy things he'll do after he learns the truth."

"You above, stop fucking spewing nonsense and look after your own countries' observers. They've shown every ugly side of themselves. Shameless."

"We believe in him. Even if he learns the truth, he won't sit around feeling sorry for himself. He'll definitely strive to better himself."

"Don't mind those dogs. All they see is darkness. Ye Jin could fart and they'd attack him for polluting the environment. There's no need to waste words on them."
