Chapter 21: The Coming Calamity
Little Binet, the leech, was still lying on the side of the boat and calling "Daddy", and Yingluoti slipped her collar and lifted her up. The latter had tears on his face, like a helpless child.
"She is the starter of the 134th place in the IP ranking, and she should be extremely powerful, but she has lost her spiritual support, and she is no different from an ordinary child. Lotus Taro walked over with the support of Lan Yuan Yanzhu, and said with a sad face: "Although Leech Shadow Yin has done a lot of evil, he should be very good to this child." ”
"I'll take care of her until her dad comes back. Eiro said, holding the leech Binet under his arm, who just stared at the water, and had no intention of resisting at all.
Rentaro looked at the pitch-black sea and asked uncertainly, "Are you saying that Leech Shadow Yin is not dead, but he ate my Hidden Zen Crying Ting, there should be no possibility of survival." ”
"Villains don't dissolve in water, this is an iron law!" Yingluo shrugged his shoulders: "Not to mention the name of your shameful tricks, the other party is a modified person whose whole body has been replaced with metal, I advise you not to judge it by the standards of ordinary people." ”
"Boom!" Rentaro made an unhappy sound, but Leech Binet was very excited: "Is Dad really not dead?"
"If she said that she wasn't dead, then she must not be dead!" Lan Yuan Yanzhu said, "After all, this is a god!"
Leech Little Binet turned her head, looked at the little girl with two ponytails and said, "Oh, you are Lanyuan Yanzhu!
"Did you recognize me after fighting for so long?" Lan Yuan Yanzhu said helplessly: "Why do you miss me, we are enemies!"
Leech Little Binet stared at her round eyes, grinned and said, "Yanzhu, I miss you so much, I want to cut you so much!"
"Uh, don't be cut by you!" Lan Yuan Yanzhu hid behind Rentaro and muttered, "It's really worthy of being a praying mantis, and I like to cut people so much......"
"Ahem!" Yingluo coughed twice and said to Rentaro: "Even if Leech Shadow Yin doesn't die, he should be injured a lot, I think he will find a place to lick his wounds, there is no threat for the time being." If I'm not mistaken, boy, you should have more important things to do, right?"
"Yes, that's right, the box that was snatched ......" Rentaro was startled, and hurriedly asked Leech Bina, "Where are you hiding that box?"
"Over there!" Leech Binet pointed in one direction without the slightest hesitation. There is no need to hide this matter, if someone asks, tell him generously! This is what Leech Shadow Yin told her before. As a good boy, of course Leech Binet will listen to his father.
"Let's go, it's time for this to end!" Rentaro pulled Yanzhu and walked in the direction pointed by Leech Bina.
It was a ruined church, with tattered walls that could not shield it from the night wind, a ceiling full of holes where you could see the stars, wooden seats that had rotted, and brilliant glass that had been shattered since humanity had been completely defeated in the war with the protozoans a decade ago, and it was understandable that faith had completely collapsed on earth.
Rentaro was a little embarrassed, after all, he was followed by a god. He cautiously peeked at Yingluo, wanting to see if the other party was angry because of the environment here, but the scene he saw made him shocked, and his feet were so weak that he almost knelt down directly.
"Hey, boy!" Ying Luo had already run to the pulpit of the church, holding a large suitcase and shaking it, "This should be what you are looking for, right?"
The shaking box made a "rattle" sound, which meant that the contents were colliding violently with the box, and the handle made a sore sound, as if it would be completely broken in the next second.
Lotus Taro pounced on one of them, and said reverently in a very fast voice: "That's it, but please be careful, once this box is destroyed, this world will be over, as a god of great mercy, you must not want to see this happen!"
"It's hard for you to say so many words in one breath, oh, here you go!" Eiro said, tossing the large suitcase to Rentaro. The latter hurriedly hugged the bear, hugged the box tightly in his arms, checked it up and down, and then said with a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it is not broken, and the combination lock is still there, it should not have been opened." ”
"You seem to value this thing. Yingluo sat on the pulpit of the church with little Binet in his arms, his chin on the top of the other party's head, and asked curiously, "What's in it?"
Rentaro swallowed and spat: "The legacy of the Seven Stars." ”
"So what?"
Rentaro shook his head: "I don't know either." ”
Yingluo shrugged his shoulders: "So you almost took your own life for something you don't know what you don't know?"
Rentaro smiled bitterly, "Although I don't know what the 'Legacy of the Seven Stars' is, I do know that this thing is a seal designation that can trigger a 'mass extinction'!"
"Well, there are more and more things that I don't understand. Yingluo said, "How about giving me a detailed introduction to this 'ancient god'?"
Although the recovery signal has been issued, it will take some time for the military to come and take over, so Rentaro also pulled Yeonzhu to sit on the bench and gave out the internal information about this mission.
"Gastrates are strong and weak, and from the initial stage, they will gradually grow by absorbing new genes until they become stage four. The higher the stage, the stronger the combat power, and the more difficult it is to be killed, which is the biggest obstacle to the recovery of the lost territory of mankind!" Rentaro said this, suddenly laughed, and said helplessly: "But this is all the result of the government's deliberate propaganda to the people, and the real enemy is hidden. In fact, there are some of the proto-intestinal groups that have surpassed stage four and reached stage five!"
"In the battle between humans and proto-intestinal animals ten years ago, these stage five existences were collectively called the 'zodiac', named after the constellations, and the number of sightings in the world was eleven, with terrifying combat power, and almost destroyed human civilization. But for some reason, they inexplicably withdrew from the battlefield at the last minute, which gave humans a chance to escape. ”
Of course, in order to maintain balance, and only the action of the gods can bring these transcendent creatures into a dormant state. Although Yingluo thought so in his heart, he didn't say it.
"Hey, Rentaro. Yanzhu asked, "Are the protosagulars of Stage 5 very powerful?"
"That probably can't be described as powerful!" Rentaro said with a wry smile: "The proto-intestinal creature of Stage 5 not only has a huge body, but also has a hard skin and extremely high regeneration ability, not to mention that ordinary guns can't cause substantial damage to it, even if it is really injured, as long as the heart and brain are not damaged, it can recover in just a few minutes." And each zodiac has unique abilities, such as Sagittarius, which has a rare long-range attack capability, and shot down most of the artificial satellites in the battle ten years ago, causing human communication to be interrupted for a while, or Libra, which produces a virus that kills humans, which can be transmitted through the air and penetrates more than ultraviolet light, and the United States has launched nuclear bombs against it, but it can't even destroy the shell of the other party. It can be said that with the existing strength of mankind, there is absolutely no means to counter them!"
"Isn't it okay with aquametry metal?" asked Yeon-joo scaredly.
"The zodiac is not affected by the magnetic field of the amenium metal, and although the amenium metal itself still has the effect of suppressing its regenerative power, it is useless to suppress its regenerative ability if it cannot cause effective damage to it. Rentaro sighed lightly: "I also learned this terrible truth after receiving this mission, in fact, what we think is a safe zone is all based on the premise that the enemy inexplicably stops attacking, if the zodiac strikes again, human beings can be said to be vulnerable." After all, it is now not up to the armament power of ten years ago. ”
"Listen to what you mean, the 'Seven Star Relic' in the box is the thing that can attract these zodiac belts?" Yingluo asked.
"Not bad. This thing, called the 'Relic of the Seven Stars', does attract the zodiac, but each relic will only attract a specific one. For example, the 'relic of the seven stars' in my hand will attract the zodiac called Scorpio. There is no doubt that if it is allowed to be close to the Tokyo area, it will definitely cause a tragedy like a mass extinction!" Rentaro said with some rejoicing at this: "The Seven Star Relic has always been kept by the Holy Son of Heaven, although I don't know why it was lost, but the Leech Shadow Yin didn't have time to open it, it's really good!"
"I probably understand the cause and effect. Yingluo nodded, looked at Rentaro, and said with a little sympathy: "Although you have tried so hard to stop, even at the cost of your life, I still have to regret to tell you that the zodiac in your mouth, the stage five Scorpio, is slowly approaching the Tokyo area!
"What?" Rentaro exclaimed in surprise, cold sweat instantly wet his back, he hurriedly checked the box in his hand, and said unbelievingly: "It shouldn't be, the box is obviously intact, and the seal has not been broken." ”
"It's opened. Leech Binet stared at the round eyes, and said the desperate truth casually: "The combination lock or something is a piece of cake for Dad, we have already opened it to see the contents before this!"
"How...... This ......" Rentaro closed his eyes in pain, his efforts were completely in vain, and for the time being, are people going to experience the same pain as 10 years ago again?
"Jingle Bell ......"
Rentaro couldn't help but touch out his phone, saw the name of "President Blackheart" on it, and pressed the answer button.
"Hey, Sister Mugen, it's me. ”
Tiantong Mugen's voice came: "Rentaro, first of all, congratulations on your victory and defeat of Leech Shadow Yin. But I have to tell you the bad news......"
"Is Scorpio coming?" asked Rentaro in a trembling voice.
"Eh, what's the ...... Well, no matter how you get the news, but 23 seconds ago, the Far Eastern Third Fleet stationed on the outskirts of Tokyo Bay had already seen Scorpio, and 14 seconds earlier, the Far Eastern Third Fleet had been completely wiped out!"
"Damn!" Rentaro punched the ground, the modern naval fleet, can't even hold up for 10 seconds?
"Could it be that everything ...... Is there no help?"
"I'm sorry, I won't let this matter end so easily!" Tiantong Mu Geng's voice revealed a sense of determination: "The Holy Son of Heaven has approved the plan I have formulated, and the answer to everything is in your southeast!"
"Southeast?" Rentaro hurriedly ran out, looking to the southeast, and on the mountain in the distance stood a huge man-made object towering into the sky, two 15,000 meters long side-by-side tracks, at an elevation angle of seventy degrees through the sky, protruding into the thin clouds, from here, because of the clouds and fog, it was not even visible at the top.
"Heavenly ...... Ladder?" Rentaro swallowed hard.
