Chapter 674: The Sad Song of the Times
Next to Lake Biwa, Li Shaoyang leaned over and looked at the clear water, now all of them were riding a wooden boat for sightseeing, and the space on the boat was not large, so those undead girls jumped directly into the water and helped push next to the wooden boat, but instead accelerated the speed of the wooden boat.
This is the lake of life in Dongying, with green mountains and green grass on both sides, water waves on all sides, and a fresh breeze blowing, with a touch of late autumn coolness, which is very refreshing.
From the bow of the boat, to the east, you can see the coral temple on the artificial island, which is a recently built temple made entirely of freshwater coral stone, which is very interesting.
The famous scenery of Lake Biwa, such as the smoke and rain and the sunset, the cool breeze and the mist, can be seen here.
It's just that now Li Shaoyang feels uneasy in his heart, and he always feels that something will happen. So he kept staring at the bottom of the lake, as if he was afraid that a monster would suddenly emerge from inside.
Oda Nobunaga asked, "What are you afraid of?" ”
Li Shaoyang shook his head with a wry smile: "I don't know either, but there is one thing that is very strange." ”
Tian Xingli hugged the empty photo, and the lark all leaned over, all looking at him uneasily.
Li Shaoyang waved his hand: "Or maybe I'm thinking too much, but since the doomsday escape of Heiankyo, the Toei government seems to have abandoned the city of Heian, you see, even the area near Lake Biwa is empty, this is already the area of Nara City." ”
Skylark and Tian Xingli both nodded, which was indeed too strange.
"It's like being cleared, you should all know that Dongying has little land and many people, and resources are poor. If it was to prevent the expansion of the dark jungle in Heian Kyoto, then why didn't even a monitoring post remain. ”
Li Shaoyang pointed to Lake Biwa: "Some observation posts can be placed here, as well as drones......"
Now the situation is very strange, there is no one in the vicinity of the entire Heian Kyoto area, not a single person can be seen, and it has really been completely cleared.
After Li Shaoyang finished speaking, he was puzzled in his heart, and then listened to the sound of only the fluctuation of the lake, and couldn't help but feel a little creepy: "It's like the end of the world, there are only a few of us humans left." ”
The lark finally grinned, "Fool, strictly speaking, these children and I are not human anymore. ”
Oda Nobunaga also smiled: "Strictly speaking, I'm not a human either. ”
Li Shaoyang looked around, heh, indeed, he himself can't be regarded as a normal person.
Everyone laughed, they all relaxed, and the lark jumped on the bow of the boat at this time, pointed to the lake and the mountains and said: "No matter what to do, if it is really the end of the world, then it is okay, human beings are extinct, and a few of us can live." ”
Tian Xingli shook her head and said: "It depends on what level of doomsday it is, if it is the end of nuclear weapons, it won't be long before no matter how beautiful the place is, it will be polluted." ”
Li Shaoyang was still smiling, but when he heard her unintentional words, his body suddenly shook and he almost jumped up.
He flew up nervously, using all his spiritual power to fly into the air, looking down on the entire Lake Biwa and the lake's edge from a high altitude. Around Lake Biwa, every few hundred meters, there is a temporary stone house, originally Li Shaoyang thought it was an observation post, but now when you look closely, the color of the appearance of these stone houses is a little wrong, and the construction is even more integrated.
He rushed into the lake, and when he touched it, he realized that it was not a stone house at all, but a one-piece house made of alloy lead.
Breaking open the heavy lead door, there were various complex instruments placed in the room, Li Shaoyang hurriedly grabbed an instrument with various tubes and checked it.
"New ...... Radiation...... Filter ......"
There is also an electronic screen erected next to the filter, with only numbers on it, which is the number of the countdown, 1 minute 40 seconds, 1 minute 39 seconds......
Li Shaoyang was chilled all over, turned around and flew out of the house, returned to the wooden boat with all his strength, and shouted desperately: "Go into the water, jump down!" It's going to be nukeed! ”
He turned around and hugged Tian Xingli, a spiritual power operated, and he protected it together with the empty photo, and then turned over and jumped into the lake.
Does the lake underwater protect against the shock wave of a nuclear bomb? And what kind of radiation?
Li Shaoyang didn't believe in his cultivation at this time, after all, he was still a human being, as long as he was a human being, he had a natural fear of nuclear weapons.
He kept diving, swimming as far as he could into the depths of Lake Biwa, and his speed had reached its limit.
Suddenly, at the foot of the bottom of the lake, there was an entrance to a crack, Li Shaoyang no longer hesitated, and rushed into the crack with Tian Xingli and Kongzhao in his arms.
Dozens of seconds later, a flash of lightning appeared above the lake, and the bright light under the flash, even if it was dozens of meters below the lake, was still shrouded in endless strong light, and in just such a flash, the lake surface on the periphery of Lake Biwa was instantly evaporated by 3 meters.
The heat and brightness of this instantaneous explosion have exceeded the sun's hundreds of millions of times, and from the release of flash and heat, we can know that this is not a small nuclear bomb, but a heavy nuclear bomb. And Lake Biwa is probably not far from the center of the nuclear bomb explosion. The target of this nuclear bomb is clear, not only in the dark jungle of Heian Kyoto, but also seems to be aimed at someone......
Li Shaoyang, who entered the crack at the bottom of the lake, instantly sank dozens of meters, relying on the protection of spiritual power, Tian Xingli was able to survive under such pressure, but Kongzhao opened his eyes wide and let out a giggle.
Li Shaoyang held the empty photo, smiled at his daughter, and was about to land, when he felt a transcendent force coming from behind......
When the first shock wave of the heavy nuclear bomb swept over Lake Biwa, the destructive power brought by it reached its peak, and all the energy was concentrated in the lower part of the lake and exploded, so the entire surface of Lake Biwa was like a quilt that was forcibly lifted, and the scene looked terrifying.
Beneath the surface of the lake was also affected by this force, causing a series of earthquakes at the bottom of the lake, and these earthquakes were triggered instantaneously.
In this way, the impact of the nuclear bomb and the destructive power of several rounds of earthquakes were all concentrated at this moment, and almost twisted the crust at the bottom of Lake Biwa into twisted flowers.
Li Shaoyang was at the center of this power, even if he cultivated to the Jindan realm, even if he had the most powerful spiritual power, he couldn't control himself.
He was knocked away by the whirlpool force, and the empty photo in his arms also flew out, but Li Shaoyang didn't have time to help, and the earth-shaking power covered him.
At the moment when Li Shaoyang lost consciousness, the Styx Stone he was carrying with him reacted, and a strange magic circle flickered, connecting a strange opening.
In an instant, the destructive power around him seemed to be still, and in the space broken by the Styx Stone, a slender arm stretched out, just catching the empty photo that was flying away, and Tian Xingli, who was tightly grasping the leg of the empty light, was then pulled into the mouth by this arm and disappeared into the temple of the Styx.
……
Styx Temple, on the other side of the Lethe River, when Tian Xingli opened her eyes, she first felt that her body was fluttering, she shouted the name of Kongzhao, and muttered to herself: "I, am I dead......
"You are now outside the Temple of Styx in the underworld, and from a human point of view, you are indeed dead." The woman in white appeared in front of her with a small empty photo.
Tian Xingli suddenly turned over and pounced on the woman, the woman in white was motionless, letting her pounce.
Tian Xingli had already grabbed the woman's arm, but she only felt that her body was light, and she passed through the woman in white like this, as if she had passed through a shadow, and she pounced on the cold ground, strangely it didn't hurt.
She stood up with difficulty, and the woman in white appeared in front of her again, her face was already cold: "The human body can't enter here, the moment you entered, you were melted by the breath of the Styx, and what is kept now is only your mind, which is what humans call the soul, and I still keep your soul now, just because of the empty light." ”
The woman in white patted Xiao Kongzhao's back, as if she was coaxing her to sleep, but her tone towards Tian Xingli became more and more cold: "I just don't want Kongzhao to wake up and shout for her mother, so when she wakes up, you have to serve her obediently." ”
Tian Xingli looked down at her hand, and sure enough, it was as faint as a shadow, it turned out that she was dead, and only her soul was left.
She looked up at the woman in white: "Who the hell are you?"
"Half of the master here!" The woman in white pointed to the Temple of the River Styx: "You can walk back and forth here with Kongzhao, but without my order, you must not go to the Lethe River, and my surname is Meng, you can call me Granny Meng in the future." ”
Tian Xingli couldn't see her face, because there was a layer of mist flowing on the woman in white. But it's not too old, but people call her mother-in-law, and this name, this Styx, is she really Meng Po?
……
The woman in white, Meng Po, stepped out of the temple of the Styx again, the cracks in the ground twisted into pieces, and the topography of Lake Biwa changed dramatically due to the nuclear explosion, especially under the water.
In the cracks in the ground, Li Shaoyang's figure was gone, even Oda Nobunaga, Skylark, and those zombie girls were gone, only the corpses of ordinary people at Mitsui Takayuki and the Six Paths Shrine, they were mortals, and there was no way to survive that kind of shock wave.
The woman in white did not aim at them, she possessed and touched the ground, and with a touch of her fingertips, the four Styx stones in the rubble flew up and landed in her hands.
"With these four pieces, there are already thirteen Styx Stones." Meng Po, a woman in white, muttered. But she didn't seem to be very excited, but was a little worried: "But even if all the Styx stones are gathered, so what, as soon as the entrance to the Styx Temple is opened, all ghosts will awaken, and it will be a disaster for the underworld that has lost its core." ”
Without the core of magic, the underworld is like an earth without energy, which is simply an apocalyptic scenario.
The woman in white sighed gloomily: "That's why you have to close the dungeon and let the ghosts sleep, why do people always want to open it." ”
……
Tokyo, Ginza Kabukicho.
On the roof of the deep Xuanlong Society headquarters, five Styx stones were suspended in mid-air, colliding fiercely, and Zhongli's soul was prostrate beside the Styx stones, constantly observing the activities of these stones.
"Someone has already found more than ten Styx Stones, which is why the few I have in my hand are so active." Zhong Li couldn't help but get excited: "No matter who finds it, then the key to the underworld will be gathered soon." ”
Outside the backroom, Tokugawa Yehui and Tennobu were watching the news reported on the scene.
The news was chaotic, and the host had tears in his eyes......
Tokugawa Yehui turned off the TV, looked at Tiannin without saying a word, and said for a long time: "Today, it is the shame of Dongying, congratulations, Dongying has become the second country in human history to be attacked by nuclear bombs." ”
Tianren bowed his head: "But this time we volunteered. Your Excellency, haven't you always hoped for this, only then will the country fall back into chaos, the government will automatically collapse, even the emperor will commit suicide, and the era of chaos you need has come. ”
The corners of Tokugawa Yehui's mouth twitched, and then he asked, "Is there any news of the free photo?" ”
Tiannin shook his head.
Tokugawa Yehui turned and looked at the door of the secret room again.
Tianren said in a low voice: "Don't worry, all the surroundings of this secret room are sealed, Zhongli Soul doesn't know anything outside at all, those five Styx Stones have already made her ecstatic, in a short time, she will not come out." ”
Tokugawa Yehui nodded with satisfaction: "She's still thinking about summoning the Tsukiyomi Possession, hmph, I've long been disgusted!" ”
……
In this era of change, Dongying, shrouded in demonic energy, is the first country in the world to enter the era of chaos, but it will not be alone, with the explosion of this taboo-breaking nuclear bomb, the original order of the human world has been completely shattered.
Half a year after the meteor event, the side effects of the gods began to appear, and humanity finally inevitably entered the war against the gods......
