What is the last number in this different sequence! If you find it, it will be the end of the life!
The answer is
135
because that becomes
APOCALYPSE.
Explantation:
Take each letter number (i-1) mod 26 in the alphabet. The sequence must increase so, the next occurance of e is at 135.
[1,16,41,55,79,90,103,120,123,135].map(n=>(~-n%26+10).toString(36))
