Chapter 117: A Last Stand
What they saw before their eyes was a sea of blood. Beneath the sea water is a bright red light, which is reflected in the water, and then converges into a thick pillar of light above the sea surface, carrying the steaming mist straight into the sky. The sea water around the pillar of light boiled, and huge bubbles continued to tumble and burst from below the surface, releasing billowing heat.
The red color of the sea is not only due to the light source in the depths of the sea, but also because of the blood of those sea creatures. Countless stumps tumbled on the boiling sea, like grains of rice on top of a pot of boiled gruel. Most strikingly, the stump appears to belong to a shark and a whale, but they can only guess the identity of the original owner from the stout tail fin. The flesh had been boiled to pieces in the heat, and there was even minced meat splashed onto the docks with bursting bubbles.
Far up in the air, you can smell the dizzying smell - in addition to the rancid smell, there is also a strong smell of sulfur.
This taste does not bode well. Because both of them knew that they were supposed to be near the crater.
A group of people are gathering in a distant place "not afraid of death", pointing to the sea. Li Zhen dropped sharply and landed on the ground not far from them, then walked over quickly and shouted, "Stay away, there are biological and chemical weapons leaked there!" ”
Even in the boiling roar of the sea, his voice was loud. Therefore, many people turned their eyes to him.
When he left the Sun family's villa, he took off the tactical helmet and bulletproof vest from the dead soldier's body, and at first glance, he did look like a military person. Coupled with the fact that he was talking about "biochemical weapons leaks" - the words "biochemical" and "leaked" always make people feel intimidating, so the group of people was just stunned. Without hesitation, they dispersed.
Only one or two daring men passed by him and asked, "Are we being hit by a nuclear strike?" Is it EMP? Is there a nuclear bomb? ”
EMP is an electromagnetic pulse weapon, which does cause the current situation - all electronic equipment is out of order. To date, however, no weapon has been able to wreak havoc on such a scale as the Aurora. Therefore, Li Zhen only responded expressionlessly: "This is a military secret." Stay away from here now, and maybe the pollution will expand in a while! ”
This official tone is extremely well played. Even some people who were reluctant to retreat and watch the excitement again finally decided to leave.
When those people walked away, Bai Xiaodang asked in that anxious and expectant tone behind Li Zhen, "...... in the sea Is it a species? ”
Li Zhen turned his head to look at her: "Yes." What are you going to do? ”
Bai Xiaodang was stunned: "What to do?" ”
"Aren't you all trying to get this thing up?" Li Zhen sneered mockingly, "The Gate of Truth, the fast wind, and some cats and dogs, don't they all want to get this egg?" Now that it's right in front of you, what are you going to do? ”
Bai Xiaodang's eyes widened, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
I really don't know how to answer - one of the orders she received is: get the information of the species, and get it if possible. However, this is built on. The premise that the other party has completely controlled that thing.
She hadn't expected it to be like this—it was a horrific scene that only came in dreams.
Li Zhen turned his head: "I really want everyone to come and see the scene in front of me." ”
"Those fools ......," he frowned slightly. whispered, "To this day, I'm still thinking about infighting." If they see it, they should understand what we're up against. Videos or materials are not as good as what they see with their own eyes - they are sitting in the office in the back, how can they know how terrible this thing is? ”
"Nobody is fighting to the death in front...... They also enjoy a fart. ”
Bai Xiaodang looked at Li Zhen with a complicated expression. I always felt this in my heart...... It's to scold yourself too.
She has always been very good at "seizing the fruits of victory". It is true that I have never experienced the taste of being "robbed" by others. But see what is happening now. Suddenly, for the first time, she had such a thought—
If I try my best to subdue this thing, but someone else takes it away......
What should it be like?
But she still asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
Li Zhen didn't turn around. But Bai Xiaodang noticed that his hand was clenched tightly.
"We can't let the Philippines become a second Mexico."
Her eyes widened: "You're going to go with it...... And it'......"
What she wanted to say was "fighting". However, the word does not seem to be appropriate here - she only feels a deep sense of powerlessness when she sees the horror in front of her, and feels that with the strength of human beings, it cannot be said to be "fighting" in any way.
Rather, "moths to the fire" is more appropriate.
Li Zhen didn't answer her. Suddenly, he said, "Let's go." ”
Bai Xiaodang was a little stunned for a moment - she felt that she had not been stunned so many times in more than 20 years: "You let me go?" ”
But Li Zhen had already turned around and looked at her seriously: "I don't have time to look at you for a while." So if you want to go, just go. But now that you've seen it with your own eyes, it's better to understand that it's not a question of whether or not you can snatch it from me, but whether we can hold it down even if we all try our best. It was affected by the aurora, and I think the situation must be worse on the Mexican side. ”
"I had made a lot of preparations and had a lot of ideas in my mind, but I didn't expect the aurora to appear at this time. So I'm an idiot too. Li Zhen said, "If you still have any hidden strength in the local area, I hope you can tell them what is happening here - it is a smart person who is not afraid of death, and can come and help me." But if you don't have the guts — don't be stupid enough to do something bad to me. ”
Bai Xiaodang realized something from Li Zhen's tone. She looked at the man in front of her, and suddenly felt that the description of him in the information was rather pale - she couldn't even make out what was going on in the other person's head.
It's a species. Although it was the first time she had seen it with her own eyes, she realized how terrible it really was. And his tone was-
"You're going to face it alone?!" Bai Xiaodang gasped. "Are you crazy? You're going to die! ”
Li Zhen was silent for a while. He opened his mouth again. He said very slowly, as if he wanted Bai Xiaodang to understand, and as if he was planning to slowly convince himself and make his belief firmer: "There is someone who has long planned to destroy that thing, and I also have that opportunity." But because of my own reasons, I gave up in the end. ”
"So if I had made the right choice in the first place, I wouldn't be where I am now. It's an egg, but if it's fully awakened, it might be even more powerful than the one Lucifer in Mexico. I can imagine if no one stopped it. It will land on land. And then like the one in Mexico, pollute the whole city. Lucifer has already overwhelmed us, and I don't know what the consequences of the Path would be if a second full-fledged species appeared here, so close to the Empire. ”
"Actually, I'm thinking more about – the rest of the people here. Bai Xiaodang. You are a killer. I ask you. You can kill one, ten, or even hundreds of people without mercy. But if millions, tens of millions of people die because of your fault, can you afford it? ”
Bai Xiaodang looked at him in disbelief: "What do you think of yourself?" Do you think you are a savior? ”
Li Zhen smiled: "I know that you may not be able to understand. Many of you may not understand it either. But that's what I am. If you want me to kill and watch millions of people bleed, maybe I can barely do it - in fact, I did it before. But if it was because of my fault that I had so many sacrifices, I myself had escaped far away - Miss Bai, I am afraid that I will not be able to sleep well every day for the rest of my life. ”
Bai Xiaodang took a step back, and then withdrew two more steps. She frowned and looked at Li Zhen carefully, and suddenly asked, "Will you die?" ”
Li Zhen shrugged: "I'm not so easy to die. I'm just preparing for the worst – or am I going to subdue it alone? ”
She bit her lip, "What else can I do besides what you just said?" ”
Li Zhen thought for a while: "Go to Rizal Road and notify the Secret Service." They were asked to do everything possible to inform what was happening here in the country, that a second species had awakened. ”
Bai Xiaodang nodded. He looked at him deeply: "It's the first time I've seen someone like you. Take care. ”
Then she didn't hesitate any longer and flew away.
So Li Zhen turned around again and walked a few more steps to the beach.
He could feel the power of the species—from the egg that was hidden deep beneath the sea.
Natural and man-made disasters have caused the current situation. If the aurora does not appear, it will not wake up. If the electronic devices were not interfered with, the situation would not be so awkward.
Imperial planes could fly to the Philippines in under an hour, and then carry a steady stream of supplies – with force field limiting devices and heavy weapons, or even nuclear bombs, it was easy to destroy.
But it comes from the self-confidence and stupidity of human beings, as well as their own stupidity, if the thought of destroying it is not to capture it alive when I was in Japan......
If you hadn't lost your mind because of your rampage, you would have destroyed it that night......
It won't be the situation we are in.
Li Zhen took a deep breath and then rushed straight into the sky. He did not immediately rush into the sea, but flew in the direction of Sun Jingtang's villa. He thinks he is responsible for the consequences of his mistakes, but that doesn't mean that he will rush to his own death like an atoned man.
In fact, when he was talking to Bai Xiaodang, Li Zhen suddenly figured out one thing.
The Gate of Truth had almost used the method of "sending" itself to capture a lot of Destroyers before. He had been cautiously guessing what the other party's intentions were in doing this, but just now Li Zhen suddenly knew that they had sent him weapons to deal with the species!
The spear of Longinus seems to be in the hands of the Gate of Truth. And the Destroyer bullets can break through their own psionic defenses—there must be a fairly close connection between the two, and Li Zhen even guesses that those Destroyer cores are made from some of the ingredients of Longinus' spears.
Since they can ignore human psionic powers, they may be just as effective against species psionic powers.
Perhaps the prophet at the Gate of Truth foresaw this and allowed himself to go one step at a time......
However, they wished for the resurrection of their species and the establishment of their so-called "Garden of Eden", and why did they send such a great gift to themselves?
Two contradictory points. They must have other plans.
But there was no choice right now - the aurora caused widespread interference, and even if you wanted to use a nuclear bomb, there was nothing you could do. The only one who has any hope of stopping that egg is himself.
He had to do something.
Five minutes later, Li Zhen passed through the billowing smoke caused by the wildfire and landed near the outer wall of Sun Jingtang's villa. No voices can be heard anymore, and it seems that everyone has fled this horrible place. But no one has ever been to the place where he buried his package full of bullets. He quickly dug out the package and dumped the bullets on the ground.
A total of one hundred and sixty-six rounds. Each warhead has a thin core. These bullets can't even meet the amount of ammunition needed for a street clashes, and Li Zhen doesn't plan to shoot them out one by one.
He picked up a saber from the package, pulled the bullet out, and began to cut.
Pull out the core.
The saber soon became notched, and Li Zhen glanced at the shore. The red light grew thicker and thicker, reaching into the sky—the same scene I had seen on the island again...... The light was blocked by the clouds high in the sky, turning into an incomparably large blood-colored cross.
It's growing, it's getting stronger. So Li Zhen also sped up, and after twenty minutes, he took out the last bullet core.
He tried to break the thing—it was extremely hard. So he held one hundred and sixty-six pale bullet cores in his hand, and then his body turned into a cloud of mist.
His original intention was to vaporize with these cores, but the result was unexpected—those things seemed to slightly weaken Li Zhen's psionic influence, and they became semi-melting—some parts were still solid, others became fluid, floating in the air mass formed by Li Zhen's body, and could not merge with him in any way.
Li Zhen wanted to turn them into gas and then try to condense them into something else, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make those bullet cores vaporize more completely, so he had to retreat and try to glue those half-melted things together.
It was as if he was directing the muscles in his body to gather together, and he used the air flow to slowly gather them in one place, gradually turning into a slender and long knife.
It's just that the blade of this knife is uneven, and there are even hollow gaps, as if it was randomly put together with some confetti. However, at the moment, Li Zhen can only do so much. After he felt that it was barely acceptable, he immediately reverted to his human form—
The knife, which was made of bullet cores, fell to the ground.
