'Click~'

…………

"It's so dark......"

…………

"It's ...... Where ......"

It was as if the body was wrapped around invisible chains, unable to make a sound or move.

In mid-air, a layer of transparent shell expanded slightly, enveloping the body.

"Sister......

"Sister......

"Sister......

Whispering.

"Is that ......?"

…………

"...... already" -

"Hey~ Where are you going, kid."

The bald head glanced at the back of the young man who turned to leave.

"Over there, I always felt like there was something behind that wall."

Yu He pointed to the bubble-like barrier between heaven and earth in the distance.

"What's that?"

"I don't know."

"Ordinary people go over there to send them to death completely, and if you don't make anything, you have to take this life?"

"I don't remember ...... very well."

In my mind, the face that gradually faded color, and the shallow smile imprinted in the depths of my memory that once belonged to someone.

"Probably...... I just want to know what I've forgotten. ”

…………

Since that day, many years ago, it has been ......

…………

'Da~Da~Da~'

In the years of living alone, although I have not deliberately exercised, I have experienced all kinds of part-time jobs, and my body is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and I still have some spare strength until this time.

From the top of the ruins, the 'barrier' was at least ten kilometers away.

In other words, to reach the other end, you have to walk through the center of this battlefield.

"What are you kidding......"

A faint wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

In the sky overhead, the afterimages collided like prehistoric beasts.

The overflowing wind spread, and the houses, the streets, all fell apart, crushed, shattered, and annihilated in an instant......

A strong wind whistled behind his head, and a bone-chilling chill flashed from his heart.

The body reacted subconsciously.

The center of gravity shifted, and the whole body fell to one side in an instant, and before he could feel the impact of his body touching the ground, a strong wind was already sweeping across his back.

The deafening loud noise pierced the eardrums.

It was a smash of a building that fell from the sky, several meters long.

Cracks spread on the concrete pavement, and a large crater more than a person deep collapsed in front of the road.

"If you don't avoid this, you're really going to see Marx......"

Yu He held on to the ground with one hand and propped himself up, the sleeve of his right arm was scratched on the ground, and the speckled crimson stained the placket red.

"There shouldn't be a broken ...... yet"

He shook his elbow slightly.

With your feet exerting your strength, your body continues to move forward.

A raging wind swept across heaven and earth.

A hot stinging pain from the arm.

Hanging over the sky, the shadow of death in the boundless.

No matter how you look at it, it's a terrible situation.

But......

Legs tense suddenly, and the final dive along the street.

A huge rift several meters wide that stretched like a cliff in front of the road.

The body rose into the air, and the toes brushed the edge of the opposite shore into the air, and the body fell straight into the bottomless crack.

No object was heard falling.

A palm rested on the edge of the cracked ground.

The palm fingers clasped tightly on the surface of the sharp ground crack, and traces of blood seeped out.

Green tendons appeared in the wrists, and under the force of the arms, the body was lifted to the ground inch by inch.

"Just this kind of Cheng dù words......"

Smiling softly, the dark pupils reflected a shattered, fragmented world.

"But you can't stop me at all......"

…………

Pieces of ruins stacked on the ground.

The streets and the earth that are constantly engulfed by the cracks of expansion,

The end of the sky reverberated with an enduring reverberation of crumbling and shattering.

A sharp blade turned into countless afterimages at the top of the sky.

The roar of 'it' swept through the sky like a hurricane, gradually awakening the trembling in the deepest part of the soul of the being called 'human'.

In the ruins, the figure of the young man kept moving forward.

There was no hesitation.

There was no pause.

Since entering 'this' world, it has never really stopped, and the body may have been on the verge of its limit.

So, why can you still run so hard?

Swooped, jumped, fell to the ground again and again, and got back up again and again.

A sixteen-year-old boy who is not interested in other people and is accustomed to the reasonable world.

"Maybe it's just, a little bit of a wonder ......"

Turning over the thick tree trunks that had fallen on the road, a steel-framed bridge appeared over the street not far away, spanning the river and the city.

The pupils of his eyes were slightly stunned, and fragments of memory emerged from the depths of his mind.

At this moment, it seemed that I saw the figure standing at the other end of the bridge with his hands behind his back.

"What is waiting ahead......

Stepping straight onto the bridge deck, the whole bridge began to tremble slightly.

The edge of the bridge cracked, and small pieces fell into the river.

The steel cables hanging from the roof of the bridge were covered with layers of dark brown rust, and rust debris sprinkled with the shaking of the bridge.

'Click~'

A crack appeared at his feet, gradually spreading towards the bridge.

From the beginning, there was no option to stagnate and retreat for yourself, so-

Only forward.

His legs, which were gradually numb from soreness, suddenly tensed, and his body ran towards the other end of the bridge like an arrow from the string.

Blood oozed along the rip in the placket.

Sweat trickled down the hair of his sideburns.

There was not a hint of wavering in the dark pupils.

'Click~'

An arm-thick steel cable hanging from the top of the bridge suddenly broke.

This is followed by the second and third......

The bridge tilted, and Yu He's body fell towards a piece.

Holding the railing with one hand, he continued to walk forward with his leaning torso.

The steel cables that fell from above fell straight down the bridge deck, collapsing and falling down one by one.

How long will the bridge last......

Faintly looking at the mess around.

Half a minute, no, it will probably collapse completely in twenty seconds.

Until then......

Squeezing the remnants of the body, he raised his eyebrows again......

…………

The earth-shattering sound echoed behind him, and the earth trembled slightly.

The steel-framed bridge that hung like a steel dragon over the city's river collapsed.

Yu He's body fell to the ground with the tremor of the earth, and there was not a trace of residual strength left in the hundreds of limbs.

A fishy, sweet breath came from deep in his throat, and he leaned down on the ground and coughed lightly.

Coughed up with saliva, a piercing scarlet color.

"Ha ......"

…………

"It's not ...... Far ......"

Some blurred vision.

Slightly trembling legs.

Once again, he stood on the ground.

Looking up into the distance, a bubble-like film hung over the other end of the ruins.

"Two kilometers...... Within......"

…………

On the street, a somewhat stumbling figure walked forward step by step.

The clothes were covered with large and small tears, stained with blood mixed with dust.

Most of them were scars from falling rocks, and their clothes were ragged like beggars.

Only the pitch-black eyes are still bright.

Shadows that obscure the sky loom over the streets.

Raised eyebrows slightly.

It's 'it'.

The 'it' that I saw when I entered 'this world', a skyscraper-like huge body, with an anomalous existence of incomparable destructive power.

Ordinary humans have no resistance to it, and even an army equipped with the most advanced weapons can be crushed to pulp in an instant.

Waiting for death in place may be the last and only thing to do at this time.

However, at this time, the teenager did not choose to do so.

Even if there is not the slightest possibility, even if it is a useless struggle as an ant.

Want......

Try to live.

Live in front of 'it'.

The pitch-black palm slammed down from the sky, carrying an endless wind towards the ground, turning into an endless shadow of death.

Run forward.

Faster

Faster

Faster

Faster than the wind,

Faster than death......

The nails cracked in the palm, and a trace of pain came from the palm.

The corners of the mouth are shallow curvature.

This is, proof of being alive.

And then......

The boundless shadow is like an endless night, and no matter how much you run, you can't escape its bondage.

The next moment, he was going to die.

There is no fear of accidents, and there is no trace of unwillingness.

Because of the fact that it has long been understood-

'Human' has a boundary.

Even if you try your best, even if you exhaust every trace of strength in your body and soul, there is still something you can't do.

Talent, talent, what is given to a particular person, that is a chasm that is difficult to overcome even with a thousand times the effort.

The situation at hand is more hopeless than ever.

The shadow of death spreads across the earth like a beast devouring the heavens and the earth.

Any attempt to resist is doomed to be futile, and only deeper despair awaits ahead.

But......

Why......

I know that it is a powerless struggle, and I know that even if I try, I will only be swallowed up by the reality of endless despair.

Why did the pace of progress not stop until the last moment? ――

That's right......

The dark pupils reflected the borderless night.

The beating of the heart in the chest was a little rapid.

A shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Because, I'm still alive.
