Chapter 2 Odds Less Than Bird Bumping?

It was a void forgotten by the world.

The sunlight could not break through the layers of obstacles to descend here, darkness and fear occupied every corner of this place, the powerlessness and viscosity of falling into the swamp were intertwined, and despair and fear occupied Wade's heart for a long time.

"What if you're wrong?"

"At least I tried."

A golden glow shot out from his wrist and spread throughout the space in an instant, dispelling all darkness and oppression.

"Heh-ahem......" Wade, who was lying flat in a mess, suddenly jumped up. Recalling the inexplicable feeling of depression just now, Wade couldn't help but feel shocked, and cold sweat instantly spread all over his back; But then, a sharp pain in his chest immediately knocked his consciousness out of his memory.

A natural rock with sharp edges stuck in the zipper of his jacket and pierced through the chain into his chest!

"Ahh Until now, he had been lucky: if it hadn't been for the bitter wind last night that forced him to zip up the carbide, maybe the stone would have been more than just a slight stab in his chest.

"What the hell is happening...... My Tony Wayne Clark, what the hell is going on in this world! Wade, who was still congratulating himself for not dying and was about to use his mobile phone to call the emergency number and return to the hospital for treatment, gradually appeared on his face after seeing the city in the distance, and a variety of negative elements called "despair" and "shock" gradually appeared on his face.

It is a picture comparable to the scene of the destruction of the world in "2012": countless black dragons of smoke spiral upwards from various twisted buildings, weaving a black curtain over the city; The roads that used to be bustling with traffic are now fragmented and no longer noisy; The bar square, which was bustling last night, is now wailing all over the field, no more than in the past.

Despair, fear, and death are the main colors of this painting.

The last memories of last night began to spring up in my mind; In my memory, the world's most famous comet gradually descended below the horizon, followed by a dark red mushroom cloud that symbolized death.

It was a fatal metamorphosis from comet to meteorite, and the moment the behemoth deviated from course, many things were already doomed.

"This is a natural disaster...... But I have to say that I was quite lucky. "Looking around, compared to the mess of the city at the foot of the mountain, Wade's area is no different from last night, except for the gravel everywhere; Of course, his astronomical telescope is long gone.

As the distance shortened, the remains of Tokyo finally became clear from the clouds, exposing the shattered body to the vision of the living beings of the world.

Although he had been mentally prepared, when the remains of the giant beast in Tokyo actually appeared in front of his eyes, everyone in the rescue team was like drowning, his chest was dull and depressed, and he didn't make a sound.

The hurricane of the propeller bulged in his ears, and the helicopter pilot mechanically twisted the steering stick in his hand, and the smiling face of the past was now expressionless and bloodless; Although the emotions of the comrades-in-arms are in a state of extreme loss, they are far from the level of the driver.

He was a soldier in the Self-Defense Forces, and his girlfriend, who had just accepted his marriage proposal, worked in Minato-ku, Tokyo. And last night, he was finally able to make a phone call to talk to the person he loved, and admire the same beautiful comet under the same sky; However, I received the news on TV that the city of Tokyo had been destroyed.

Happiness is so beautiful, but destruction comes so quickly.

"Ishikawa-kun, is there someone over there?" The captain, who usually had a good relationship with him, walked up to his side and asked by pointing to the top of Mt. Fuji.

At this time, he is the only one who can talk to Ishikawa.

Ishikawa looked at the captain's hand, and sure enough, he saw a young man in a red jacket standing in the cold wind dancing in the direction of his side, and his brilliant blonde hair looked dazzling even in the dark sky.

The helicopter turned around and flew slowly toward the top of the mountain.

"Robinson, it seems that my luck is much better than yours!" Looking at the helicopter that was flying towards him from the group, Wade's face once again showed his trademark smile; He looked at the heavy motorcycle keys in his hand, then snorted and slipped them into his pocket.

"There's a helicopter ride and some heavy locomotive." Wade muttered under his breath, but he didn't know that the god of fate had played a big joke on him the moment he made his decision.

The hurricane of the propeller blew Wade's blonde hair fluttering.

One soldier glanced at Wade at his feet, then threw down an orange ladder; Wade looked at the rope ladder that had rolled down, climbed up the ladder without thinking, boarded the helicopter as he wished, and left the platform where he had been overnight.

Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular; This phrase is true in most cases, and this time is no exception.

"Thank you very much for your rescue, my name is Wade, and I am currently studying at Tokyo City High School." Wade smiled and expressed his gratitude; In his eyes, these soldiers who were ready to go were like angels sent by Michael.

"Hmm...... Wade, you should need treatment, right? Although Wade was wearing a red jacket, the metal zipper was copper-colored, and at this time, because it was stained with blood, it naturally turned an inconspicuous brown; The sharp-eyed soldier spotted the blood-stained zipper as soon as he boarded the plane.

"Thank you for your concern, it's good to leave the skin trauma for a few days. By the way, do you know what happened in Tokyo, the comet fell? ”

The atmosphere, which had just begun to warm up, dropped to zero again, and instead of answering Wade's question directly, the soldiers told him through a deeply oppressive silence.

"We're going to land on the outskirts when we get there, and there's a makeshift ambulance area there." Ishikawa, who had been silent, spoke suddenly, and although this was true, Wade heard an inexplicable hostility in it.

"Stepping on a mine!" Wade, who was not low in emotional intelligence, immediately knew that he had said something he shouldn't have said, and he glanced at the driver slightly apologetically, and then quietly leaned down on the window to look at the gradually enlarged ruins in his field of vision.

Suddenly lightning flickered in the clouds, which had been as calm as water, and thunder rolled; The low and long thunder slowly came from all directions, and countless silver snakes writhed their deadly bodies restlessly, and from time to time they poked out of the clouds, looking for targets to attack in the gray sky.

Moments later, they were found.

A strong and domineering wind carried countless soybean-sized raindrops mercilessly slapped on the fuselage of the helicopter.

Dazzling electric light swept across the sky with a loud rumbling sound that resounded through the sky, or fell to the ground and raised a scorched earth, or flashed through the swarm with deadly heat and electricity, stirring up a spark.

The sound of rain, wind and thunder played a vigorous music symbolizing the power of nature in this wide but narrow world.

"Guys, just now the lightning bolt was almost close to us, don't you feel a little bit?" Wade, who was originally sticking to the window and observing the surrounding environment, felt a white light suddenly flash in front of him, and then a loud sound that shook his soul echoed in his ears, endlessly; Startled, he put his hands on the fuselage and suddenly exerted force, pushing himself aside to avoid the lightning that had disappeared, his handsome face turned pale at once, and his forehead was oozing filamentous sweat, shining in the light.

For Wade's antics and ignorance, all the soldiers with heavy expressions couldn't help laughing, and the heavy and oppressive atmosphere seemed to have begun to change again.

"Young man, you don't know that there are fewer planes struck by lightning than by birds, do you?" The captain smiled and patted Wade on the shoulder, then sat back down next to the driver and looked at the ground through the glass.

"I see...... "After listening to the captain's words, Wade gradually regained his composure; But whenever there was a flash of electricity or thunder outside the window, his body would still tremble slightly, and he obviously still had palpitations.

The dark sea of clouds gradually calmed down and began to dissipate, but the tension of the black clouds that were about to destroy the city still filled the whole world like a nightmare, as if something more terrifying was about to appear.

"The height of eight hundred, to reach the sky above the destination, is descending." Ishikawa mechanically reported to the ground command that with his skilful maneuvering, the helicopter finally stopped moving forward and began to slowly descend to altitude; That's when the unexpected happened.

A scarlet bolt of lightning burst out of the dark clouds that had begun to dissipate with lightning speed, and slammed into the propeller of the plane in an absolute straight path; The next moment, the people standing on the ground waiting for the plane to land saw a scarlet flower of death appear in the sky; Then, several trailing objects with pale black trails crashed out of the blooming flowers and landed in the pool of the rescue center, causing snow-white splashes.

An exclamation erupted in the camp.
