No.184 A place without light

Trees once grew here, and flocks of birds inhabited it.

It was a time when the lights were shining and the flowers were blooming. The crowd flowed endlessly, and the children were smiling and carefree. It was the golden age of Shimmer City.

Until the clouds come and obscure the light. The breath of fear and uneasiness spread to the flowers of the field and turned to dust; The birds in the trees also hoarsely voiced.

Countless times I have been attacked by danger, and countless times I have heard the wails of disaster and pain.

War never ends, though the storm has passed, the furious lightning has subsided, and all is a thing of the past. The pain left behind by the darkness has left people mutilated, and the outbreak of disaster has obscured all hope for the sunrise.

The members of the Neo-GUTS stood on top of the wasteland and watched as Shimmer City was enveloped in a white mist after the disaster. The pungent smell of blood and burning filled the tip of his nose, and a sense of powerlessness and sadness welled up in his heart.

Three days have passed since the events of the King in Yellow, all the Baiaki have disappeared, people can no longer see Kalkssa, and Aldebaran in the sky no longer shines, but the blood left behind will never return......

Of the 20 million people who have survived the disaster, less than 1 million people remain through the search, of which the majority are seriously injured and those who have lost their minds, and only a small number of people have not been harmed.

The once thriving city of Shimmer is now nothing but a wasteland and a fog of sorrow, with no flowers or buildings to be seen. Obviously, as the most prosperous first-tier city in China, it also came to naught overnight......

This is arguably the worst and most tragic disaster in the history of the world. The whole world is helping the disaster, and the remaining injured and those who have fallen into madness have been sent to major hospitals across the country, and most of the remaining people have been transferred to Yaodu City, next door to Shimmer City.

Shimmer City is now a wasteland, with black ashes and severed arms everywhere. Now TPC is doing its best to clean up this wasteland, which is not only filled with people's blood, but also with the tears of those who griev.

Fighting, fighting, until the darkness disappears, until peace comes. The light will not be obscured by darkness forever, and the righteous will eventually defeat evil, but despair will return again and again, is all the blood shed in vain?

It has been tried, whether it is a rainy day, a windy day, or a time of lightning and thunder...... Even if countless lives are lost, there is no discouragement to fight! But a war that lasts forever, a pain that lasts forever...... It seems to be screaming at everyone, everything is meaningless.

The people who participated in the battle seemed to understand Ye Yan's thoughts when he turned black. I'm already tired, and I don't know how long I can last, but as long as I fall, the world will be swept by darkness again......

After joining Neo-GUTS, everyone thought it was the highest honor, but at this point, almost everyone had the idea of quitting. Everything is too cruel, countless deaths, countless despairs, and after solving one incident, it will be another incident, and it will never stop.

But now the only ones who can protect this world are Neo-GUTS. Just like Ye Yifan said, no matter how painful and uncomfortable it is, don't give up, one day you will be able to overcome the difficulties, but before that, you have to keep fighting. Even though it may be pointless, you have to fight because there is still a lot to be nostalgic about in this world.

So keep going, keep fighting......

But seeing the scene of Shimmer City, there is still an indescribable sadness. Fortunately, Ultraman Tiga's Galactic Bomb automatically avoided humans who still showed signs of life, otherwise more people would have died.

Although the TPC Huaxia base is in the ocean outside Shimmer City, fortunately it has not been affected. But Neo-GUTS has been hit hard in a way.

Captain Tang suffered extensive burns and is still being treated in the hospital with cell regeneration technology. The situation in the sky has improved somewhat, but it has not woken up so far.

Qiu Xuanming only let everyone understand that he was the previous Ultraman Gauss, and Du Fei decided to investigate him for a few days, and wait for Captain Tang to wake up before determining whether he would go or stay.

As for Ye Yan, he survived, but there was still no sign of waking up. Du Fei heard about his blackening process from Qiu Xuanming, and he didn't blame him too much. His situation will have to wait until he wakes up, and if he is still blackened and rampant, then he can only be eliminated.

And Ye Yifan ...... It's hard to say, its corrosion has spread to almost the entire left arm after this battle, and it has become independent. In order to prevent this indescribable left hand from messing around, Du Fei simply sealed it with a plaster cast and pretended to be a fracture.

The satellite images behind it show that it was Ultraman Tiga who defeated Dark Zaki, and the power of that last punch is something that Du Fei still can't forget. Fortunately, Ye Yifan woke up soon, and it was still the same as before, and there was no dark place in his thoughts.

And now there are only two people, Du Fei and Han Qixuan. Although he can move freely, his whole body is still injured a lot, and the work of the past few days has been handled by Gao Altitude Lan.

"Brother Fei, you said Shimmer City...... When will it be restored? Han Qixuan, who was on crutches and had a bandage around his head, walked on a wasteland, and all he could see was a white mist and scorched black soil, and he couldn't see the sun, and even the air was cold.

As if walking in another space, Du Fei sighed lightly, and quickly merged with the cold white mist: "Who knows..... It could be a year, or it could be years...... But no matter what it turns into, it will eventually be destroyed. ”

Han Qixuan also felt so. Most of the catastrophes during the Cataclysm erupted in Shimmer City, not so much Shimmer City..... It's better to say that it's aimed at Ye Yifan, and they always feel that Ye Yifan has something to hide from them, whether it's the first to become Ultraman, or the punch that defeated Dark Zaki.

In addition, the rest is the final enemy called the "Black Shadow", according to the available information, that "Black Shadow" is lurking around them, so Zong Fujii will regard Ye Yifan as the mastermind behind the scenes, but Han Qixuan believes that his best friend is definitely not a Black Shadow.

But who is the Dark Shadow?

From Qiu Xuanming's words, he knew that he had obtained the power of Gauss from the black shadow, but he had never seen the black shadow, only an inexplicably suppressed chaotic voice.

But no matter what the cost, they will defeat the shadow, and then the real peace will come. And after Ye Yifan woke up, he also said that the day of the decisive battle was approaching......

"Can we really win?" Han Qixuan asked, looking at the fog in front of him.

Du Fei was silent for a while, and he didn't know how long it took before he said, "I will definitely win...... Even if it costs me my life, I will fight with all my might! This is Sister He Yuhan..... A pact with Brother Sero. ”

Han Qixuan also had the same thought, no matter whether Ye Yifan could burst out with the power to defeat the punch of Dark Zaki, he would also fight with all his might. For disasters and tears to stop spilling over the world, for peace to come forever, for ..... You can grow old with your loved ones.

"By the way, what about Yifan?"

Du Fei sighed, looked at the rays of sunlight folded in the air, and said lightly: "I don't know......

......

Above the mist and black earth, in a place darker than darkness, a silky ray of sunlight hung out of nowhere. Along with the sun, there are flowers scattered all over the land.

Under the dust floating in the sun, in the shallow fragrance of flowers, there is a building that has been carefully arranged so simple that it is difficult to call it a house, and in that building is full of forgotten and incomplete time.

In one corner of the building, there is a broken sign stained with blood and dirt, although the handwriting has long been blurred by the fire, but the three big characters "Snow Flower Garden" can still be recognized.

On the scorched earth outside the building is a young girl dressed in white. She carefully picked up a white flower and buried the black soil around her in the lace. Even though she knew that this scorched black soil could no longer provide nutrients for this white flower, she still had a glimmer of hope and silently irrigated the surrounding land.

Behind her, there were countless white daisies standing on the black soil. Under the icy mist, they seem to fall in a blow, but they are still firmly rooted in the wasteland, blooming with unique colors.

"They probably won't live long."

Hearing the voice behind her, the girl turned around and saw a somewhat languished black-haired youth. She smiled, as warm as these flowers that bloomed in the last days: "No, daisies are very strong. I believe that one day, this land will return to its former prosperity, and I would like to see daisies bloom in every corner of the city. ”

Ye Yifan, who was standing behind Mu Yanxue, was only an arm's length away, he was not wearing civilian clothes today, but he came in a Neo-GUTS uniform, Mu Yanxue was not surprised by this, and showed a gentle smile as if he had known earlier.

Mu Yanxue could clearly see the other party's cheeks covered with dust and scars, and the red pupils seemed to have returned to the familiar gray and depressive color of her, but in that color, there seemed to be a faint brilliance.

Mu Yanxue's gaze rose slightly, looking directly at Ye Yifan's cold eyes.

"I'm willing to fight for it...... Not only Shimmer City, but I want to see the whole world full of flowers. ”

This sentence may sound like a beautiful expectation for the future, but to Mu Yanxue's ears, there is always a meaning of saying goodbye before death.

She looked at Ye Yifan's movements, although she was standing, it looked like she was about to fall at any time - its left arm was wrapped in a bandage, hanging in the pocket of her chest, and her expression did not fluctuate, but it was uncomfortable to look at.

And what made Mu Yanxue care was that Ye Yifan's was a little white. It's not a messy distribution like an old man, but 100 hairs are completely whitened in a bunch, like a highlight, so that there are six gray hair bunches, distributed bangs, both sides of the hair, as for the back of the head Mu Yanxue didn't see, it's not clear.

"Xiaofan, don't give up...... Just like a strong daisy flower, it can bloom in pure white color no matter how difficult it is. ”

Ye Yifan was a little stunned when he heard these words, and the power of origin ..... It's not a complete awakening, but a dream word that he said when he was hazy, but whenever Ye Yifan was in a daze, he would hear:

Pray to me for strength.....

Pray to me for strength......

You're in a dream, and you'll wake up one day.

Please, will you disappear?

Ye Yifan was on the verge of collapse......

"I can ......" Ye Yifan felt his eyes enter the sand, and he was a little uncomfortable. He looked at Mu Yanxue and wanted to say something, and finally said it. "Can I hug you?"

The girl didn't hesitate, and took the initiative to hug Ye Yifan's body and said, "If you want to cry, cry out......"

Feeling the temperature in his arms, Ye Yifan didn't cry, but felt a sense of loss. Mu Yanxue didn't stay here for long, and the survivors of other Shimmer University had already transferred to schools in other cities, and Mu Yanxue was able to stay here because of her father.

Mu Yanxue's father wanted to assist in the TPC disaster relief, so he wanted to stay here for a while, and Mu Yanxue should have withdrawn, but she insisted on staying for a while to sort out her mother's relics.

This land is no longer suitable for anyone to live, and only TPC and Neo-GUTS remain.

If Mu Yanxue is gone, then Ye Yifan will only be left to fight, keep fighting, until the day when peace comes, or disappear......

So it's very uncomfortable, unspeakably uncomfortable, and a sense of loss for a certain name.

"Don't be sad, one day this land will return to its former prosperity. I hope that when I see you again, you can already be as strong and pure as a daisy flower......"

Ye Yifan didn't answer, just nodded.

In this lightless place, in the sea of white flowers full of floral fragrance, with the cold white mist, there is also the purest and warmest time in the world......
