The artillery fire was dazzling, blocking Liu Ye's line of sight. The sky was filled with the chaotic sound of pieces of iron.

In the space above his head, many huge pieces of iron cracked open and fell one after another. The sky was as dark as a rainstorm, and the cannonballs cast a blue-gray glow in all directions.

In the world that can be seen, from one end to the other, the fields are shaking, sinking, melting, and the infinite space is shaking like the sea.

In the east, there were extremely violent explosions, in the south, bullets flew everywhere, and at the zenith, there were rows of flowering bullets, like volcanoes without feet...... And there was nothing else on the boundless earth, rain and night, and the clouds of heaven and the clouds that came out of the earth, scattered and mixed together on the earth.

Liu Ye walked on top of the long ruins when a bomb exploded five meters away beside him, and fragments of masonry and rubble flew all over the sky, stirring up dust.

The war picture is the same as last time, except that the battlefield is no longer Boyun City, but a strange wilderness.

"Human ...... What the hell are you fighting against......" Liu Ye muttered softly, he didn't know where he was, and he didn't know where he was going.

It's like a dream, but it's not. The pungent smell of gunpowder makes people feel like they are about to suffocate, and the rough touch of sand and gravel is terrifyingly real.

After a long, long walk, traces of the city finally appeared in front of me, and the magnificent ruins lay in the dust, and everything that had once sheltered under it was destroyed in its collapse.

In the corners of high-rise buildings, there are still broken wooden brick houses and piles of rubble.

He saw the trenches and the soldiers in them, and the fear on their faces, and the courage to live with fear.

"Hey—— don't come close!" a hundred meters away, a soldier with a bloody face and black mud yelled at him in a hoarse voice? The voice trembled slightly? It seems that all the strength of the whole body has been exhausted.

Liu Ye stopped, not knowing whether to continue moving forward.

But where can you go if you don't go forward?

His eyes fell on the soldier who was shouting at him? Maybe we should ask him? What the hell is going on here.

The sky is nothing but fire and smoke, and beyond the trenches there is fear and death. Martin clutched the barrel of the gun tightly? It's like holding a straw. The roaring cannon continued, and he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead because of fear? Hands trembled.

He wants to light a cigarette to steady his mind? But the hand holding the lighter could not touch the cigarette butt, and the extreme fear seized him, as if to squeeze all the vitality out of his body! The sound of "rumble" came? Something huge seems to be approaching......

The smoke of gunpowder accompanied the smell of blood, irritating his nostrils. He couldn't hold back any longer, stood up on the ground, pressed the bullet on the side, and pulled the bolt with a "click"? While cursing his own cowardice, he also cursed the civilian who looked stupid and stunned to go this way.

He clumsily crawled out of the trenches? He staggered to his feet and fired a flurry of bullets into the smoke and dust in front of him.

"Bang bang bang!"

A huge shadow emerged from the smoke and dust.

Is that a steel monster shaped like an anteater? It has a silvery-white metallic sheen.

The bullet hit the surface of the silver-white armor with a crisp sound and bounced off? Not even a single dent can be left.

Despite a shuttle bullet? But the monster didn't seem to see him? Rushing towards the civilian at a rapid pace.

Martin couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then suddenly remembered something, pulled the trigger and fired wildly ahead.

"Ah......h

The monster finally noticed him and turned to face him.

"Smack, smack. "The trigger is empty.

There are no more bullets.

"Phew. ”

Martin spat out, threw the gun aside, and pulled out the saber stuck in the trench.

"Come on, bastard!"

"Boom!" Like a rocket launch, the monster jumped high, crossed a distance of tens of meters, fell from the sky, and lifted the high-speed rotating drill that flashed like a cold light on its forefeet.

Shadows covered him, obscuring the sky and the sun.

He stood on the blood-soaked ground, his fingers clenched into fists as if they were trying to grasp the lost life...... The arms gradually drooped, and the fingers gradually relaxed.

"Smack. "The saber fell to the ground, and he couldn't do it, even with all his courage.

"It's really...... Can humans resist the power......" In Martin's pupils, a silver-white point of light was rapidly approaching, and he closed his eyes.

It's over.

He, along with his comrades-in-arms, died on the battlefield, and finally, he could sleep and rest in peace.

However, there was no pain from being pierced in the chest.

Martin opened his eyes in surprise.

The civilian-looking, very tired young man, at this moment his right hand emitted an ice-blue light, and lightly resisted the drill bit that was several times thicker than his waist.

"Hey," the young man said, turning back to him, "can I ask you a few questions in a moment?"

"Yes...... OK. ”

"Thanks, wait a minute," said the young man, "I'll deal with this first, big one." ”

Flying snow and ice flowers swirled out from his fingers like a tornado, engulfing the silvery-white monster in an instant, turning it into a giant ice sculpture.

A layer of silver flames ignited on the young man's body, and Martin's skin suddenly burned and hurt, and he couldn't help but take two steps back and cover his eyes with his hands.

"Drink—ah!" the young man threw his fist, slamming it into the glittering blue ice drill like a grasshopper shaking a tree.

The huge ice sculpture turned into a field of ice chips, shining and reflecting the red fire of the battlefield in the city not far away.

"Groa, cluck. The young man took a few steps forward on the ice chips, looking left and right, as if looking for something.

"Nope...... Nothing. He shook his head, and suddenly he stumbled and fell to the ground.

Martin hurriedly ran over to help him up, and found that his face was as pale as paper, and a fine layer of cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

The weakness of this young man and the strength he had just shown were two extremes that could not coincide.

"Yes. Martin took a sip, what the hell is wrong with the world, everything has changed drastically in just one month. As a senior officer of the special forces, Colonel Martin considers himself well-informed, but in just half a month in the western battlefield, he has seen too many things that he cannot understand.

Martin picked up the saber that had fallen to the ground, inserted it back into the scabbard that hung from his waist, and then carried the young man on his back and walked towards his trench.

"......" Liu Ye opened his eyes in a daze, and in front of him was a leaky window, outside the window was a half-fiery red and half-pitch-black sky, and the fiery red was the enduring fire in the city.

The head is still very dizzy, and the center of the eyebrows is not only swollen but also painful.

Liu Ye sat up with his body propped up, he was lying on a plastic poster, and the face of the star on the poster was so blurred that he couldn't see anything.

This is the interior of an abandoned building, littered with bare concrete, no floor tiles or wallpaper, broken windows forcibly sealed with blue plastic sheeting and yellow tape, and a mountain of square boxes piled up all over the place, where the soldier is standing in front of an open box rummaging for something.

"Yo, you're awake. The soldier looked up and said, "Would you like something to eat?"

"No need...... Liu Ye said holding his head, he really couldn't eat anything, and his dizziness made him feel like vomiting.

"Let's eat some. The soldier grabbed a handful of chocolate bar-like things from the box and shoved a few into his hand, "There are a lot of supplies, but there are very few people who can use them." ”

Liu Ye looked around, the number of boxes was hundreds, the soldiers gave him synthetic high-energy food, one person only needs to eat two sticks a day to maintain a day's daily needs, so many quantities are enough for hundreds of people to live for a month.

But now, there was only one soldier in front of him, sitting on the other side of the plastic poster, holding a scratched lighter and lighting a cigarette.

"Aren't you afraid...... Liu Ye said, "after seeing that scene." ”

He was referring to the image of himself smashing the giant mech with one punch.

"Which battlefield do you say?" the soldier took a puff of cigarette, and his blood-stained face showed an extremely comfortable expression, "On the battlefield, as a soldier, being afraid of the battlefield will only make you die faster, and as for you, no matter what kind of terrible weapon you use, no matter which side you belong to, at least, you saved my life." ”

"Terrible weapon ......," Liu Ye lowered his eyelids.

"For that alone, even if you are my enemy, I will not attack you when you are not capable of resisting. Tell me, which side do you belong to, the world is completely chaotic. ”

"I ...... I don't belong to either side. Liu Ye said.

"The flames of war have burned in every corner of the globe," the soldier dusted off his cigarette ash as he dusted his cigarette, "and no one is immune." ”

"If I have to say it, I probably ......," Liu Ye said slowly, "...... It's righteous, one side. ”

"Heh, hehehe. As if he had heard some big joke, the soldier laughed so hard that the cigarette in his hand accidentally poked on the ground and went out.

"What is your definition of justice?" the soldier lit another cigarette, "once the wheels of war begin to roll, there will be no justice." ”

"'Acting bravely' is just because it is in the interests of the group; 'Oppressing the weak' is evil because it undermines the fairness in the group; 'Defending the country' is just because it meets the people's expectations for peace and stability; 'War of aggression' is evil because it is contrary to accepted morality. Liu Ye replied, "There are many classic debates about justice, and there is not much point in discussing this issue, I have a few questions I want to ask you." ”

"You're such a strange person. The soldier shook his head, "I don't know what kind of nonsense you're talking about, but you suddenly appeared on the battlefield and saved my life, so I'm obligated to answer your questions." ”

"I didn't save you so you could answer my question. Liu Ye also shook his head, "These are two things. Even if you refuse to answer my question, I will save you. ”

"Oh, tell the ghost. The soldier snorted contemptuously.

"What the hell is going on here?" asked Liu Ye, ignoring his disdain.

"As you can see, war. The soldier replied, "World war." ”

"War...... What is the source of the war?"

"I don't know, maybe the big guys sitting in the back know. The soldier replied, "After the war begins, only victory is meaningful, and the reason is no longer meaningful." ”

"No......" Liu Ye took a deep breath, "It's still meaningful." If you know anything, please let me know, even if it's just a clue to catch the wind. ”

"Well," the soldier thought for a moment with his cigarette in his head down, "I've heard a rumor. ”

"The content of the rumors...... What is it. ”

"Rumor has it that the war broke out over a type of stone. The soldier pressed out the cigarette butt hard, raised his head and looked into Liu Ye's eyes, "This can't be true." ”

"Why. ”

"Because if it's true...... Then this war is too ridiculous. The soldier's smile looked crazy and sad, "The number of deaths in this month has exceeded the total number of people in World War III, if this is just for a few broken stones, then is there anything crazier in the world?"

"I don't deny this possibility," Liu Ye said with a calm face, "What is the name of that stone?"

"I don't know. The soldier lit another cigarette and took a sharp puff, and the cigarette was half shortened at once, and white smoke flowed from between his mouth and nose, "I said, it's just a rumor." ”

"No, you know. Liu Ye looked at his dark brown eyes and said, "You just don't want to accept this absurd fact. ”

"You fart!"

"......" Liu Ye didn't respond, just silently closed his eyes.

"My men and I will not die for such a ridiculous reason. ”

“......”

"Absolutely not. ”

“......”

"That kind of stone," the soldier took a deep breath, "it's called the primordial stone carving." ”

Liu Ye opened his eyes: "Primordial stone carving...... That's what it is. ”

"I don't know. The soldier sighed, "I really don't know, that's not something I can know." ”

“...... I see, thanks. ”

"It's fine. The soldier extinguished the cigarette butt, "Who the hell are you?"

"I ......" Liu Ye hesitated slightly, "I'm a magician." ”
