the three blocks, began to divide and compete for the whole world, dividing it into various "spheres of influence" ...

2150: global warming intensifies, the over-exploitation of natural resources causes a global scarcity of resources, which increases global tensions, among the major world powers ...

the scarcity of natural resources and raw materials, gave way to a new arms race, in order to control the few natural resources still left in the world ...

2164: tensions between NATO and the Soviet Union grow, due to a political crisis in Poland ...

a naval war began between China and Japan for control of the South China Sea ...

global nuclear war, takes place between 2171 and 2173 ...

initially, a nuclear war took place between the Soviet Union and NATO and then, a nuclear war took place between the Pan-Asian Cooperation and the Soviet Union ... then, the nuclear war became a mutual nuclear war between Russia, China and the United States of America ...

the whole world, after the nuclear conflict, plunged into a nuclear winter, which caused a new ice age, which covered 80% of the earth's surface with snow and ice ...

ironically, the nuclear winter put an end to global warming ...

the whole world plunged into chaos and anarchy, famine and drought spread everywhere ...

in 2714, a peace treaty was signed between the United States of America, the Soviet Union and China, which definitively put an end to the global war ...

all the nations of the world joined in the "Habitat Revitalization Program", a program for the large-scale decontamination of the areas contaminated by radiation, during the nuclear war ...

to reclaim the radioactive Wasteland, from the pockets of radioactivity, the world governments created genetically modified cells, able to absorb radiation and clean up the wastelands, from radiation ...

the purpose of the mutant cells was also the removal of radioactive waste

but those mutant cells, escaped the control of world governments, when, subjected to massive doses of radiation, those cells began to change very quickly, starting to spread in the major cities of the world ...

humans, who were infected by mutant cells, became zombies, which caused the world to fall into a biological catastrophe, the whole world, was overwhelmed by a horde of zombies, which came to devastate everything, all the major world institutions, they were paralyzed, all world governments collapsed and the world sank into anarchy ...

a world war began, between the human race and the Zombies ...

in 2176, the "League of Nations", created a fleet of six generational colonial spaceships, in the direction of a planet, similar to Earth and suitable for life, namely the planet "Kapteyn B", which is located in the constellation of Alpha centauri, a planet that became the last hope of the human race ...

that fleet of six spaceships, left the planet Earth, leaving for space, in the direction of the planet Kaptyen B, in the hope of finding a new world and planting the seeds of a new civilization ... but not the whole human race, went up on those spaceships, leaving for space ...

a part of the human race remained on planet earth, fighting against radioactive zombies and mutants ...

*This world was a parallel universe similar to earth. However, the technology was clearly far more advanced. High rise buildings spanned across the landscape, but there were no traces of any civilization. Zombies and mutants occupied the once busy streets. Jiang Chen did not dare to step out without a weapon.*

*The time was the year 2190; the location was still Wanghai City. However, the difference between the two time periods was night and day.*

*The year 2150, global warming intensified. Excessive extraction caused shortages in all kinds of resources. An economic crisis ensued.*

*The year 2164, a political crisis in Poland triggered a war between Europe and Hua. The red army began invading westwards. The global politics, as a result, were in a tense period. It was worth mentioning that in this parallel universe, USSR was not dissolved in 1991, hence the global politics were divided into three organizations. First, UA-led alliances known as NATO, a Soviet-led Europa known as CCCP, and lastly, the Han formed PCA with the Southeast Asian countries. The rest of the forces remained independent.*

*The year 2171, the tension on Europa escalated as the CCCP declared war on the PCA. Both parties accused the others of initiating the warfare which caused the start of the third world war.*

*In the same winter, Hua and Japan launched a naval war over the conflict in the South Hua Sea. NATO and CCCP declared cooperation as fires spread across Asia. That year, Mongolia experienced a political crisis which caused further escalation between CCCP and PCA, with both sides amassing tremendous firepower on the borders.*

*The year 2172, the first nuclear weapon was detonated by the CCCP in Paris, which officially brought the third world war into tactical nuclear warfare.*

*The year 2173, this modern warfare was in a surprising stalemate. The entire world experienced nuclear fallout as the habitable, without a doubt, received significant destruction. The nuclear winter covered 80% of the land in snow. Nobody thought that such an ironic cause would end global warming. Refugees, starvation, diseases were all symptoms of this modern warfare. It only took two years to destroy humanity entirely. The total economic losses far exceeded the combined losses of the previous world wars. Due to this, peace came without a decisive victory for either side. Everyone knew that if the war continued, no one would survive.*

*New Year 2174, a peace treaty was negotiated and enacted. “Habitat Revitalization Program” was established to remove nuclear fallout. All nations participated in the funding of the program.*

*Fall of year 2174, the United Nations announced the abortion of the “”Habitat Revitalization Program” as the cells used to remove nuclear waste experienced uncontrolled mutation. At the same time, due to the attack by unknown militants, the mutated cells began to spread into major cities. The infected humans turned into zombies, as the human civilization entered a biological apocalypse. The law and order that once governed civilization, shattered in days.*

*The year 2176, The United Nations sent six colony exploration ships towards Kepler B in Alpha Centauri. These ships contained the last hope for civilization. These ships were meant to plant a seed in the universe, in hopes of finding a new world. However, this was completely irrelevant for the humans still fighting on the ground.*

*In the same year, the United Nations were dissolved.*

*The information contained in the newspaper only lasted till the year 2176. The remainder of the news came from an ancient diary. From the electronic clock that still ticked in the drawer, the time was June 2190.*

*By coincidence, the world he lived in was also June.*

*But within this timeline, civilization destroyed itself in just five years*
