Chapter Forty-Eight: The Farewell That Failed to Be Made
The sun is shining in the north of the underground city, and people in the vicinity are looking at it one after another, and the voices of discussion are coming and going. It didn't take long for the news of the explosion of the military factory to spread quickly throughout the underground city, and at the same time that the news spread, the Tower of Babel finally could not withstand the powerful destruction power of the holy bullet, and collapsed with a loud bang.
The Tower of Babel itself is a huge building that extends from the underground city all the way up to the ground, and the interior is hollow, and this collapse directly leads to a hole about 100 meters in diameter in the rock layer in the north of the underground city, and the underground city that never sleeps also ushered in the first dawn after its completion on this day.
There was a lot of movement in the north, and the whole city was in an uproar, but Ouya, who was still asleep, didn't know about it. When the alarm clock rang in her ears, Ouya rubbed her eyes and reluctantly got up from the bed. There was nothing more comfortable for Ouya than sleeping on a large soft bed, but she was about to leave here, and thinking about the hard, narrow bed on the flying ship, she didn't want to move.
After glancing at the time, he looked around again, but he didn't see Oude's figure.
"Dead brother, why haven't you come back yet, you won't go somewhere to fool around." Ouya muttered in a low voice, but having said that, she was still a little worried in her heart. My brother may be a little out of tune, but he attaches great importance to the concept of time, not to mention that he still has an agreement with himself, and this kind of non-compliance has not yet occurred.
"Isn't it...... No, it can't be, what's going to happen to the stinky guy, he's a mechanic, and no one should dare to trouble him here...... It should just be late to come back......" Ouya frowned slightly, her heartbeat seemed to be much faster, and an inexplicable palpitation slowly rose in her chest.
……
Sitting up from the sleeping pod, the sound of the gears that I had been accustomed to hearing in my body was telling me that I was still alive, and I walked to the window in three or two steps, looking at the familiar scenery, and somehow I felt a sense of loss. On the fourth day, in two or three hours, the dragons will attack Tisbor, although they have been thinking that everything will come to an end today, but how will the disaster of the fourth day be overcome?
Without knowing whether this is the end of the catastrophe or another test, dodging the dragon's attack in the underground city is undoubtedly no different from waiting for death, and the only option is to go to the surface. From her previous memories, it was clear that Oya would never leave Tisball, and that this kind girl would go back to help the wounded when she saw the burning city, and if she was forcibly taken away, it would probably fall short.
Therefore, the first thing I have to do is to protect Ouya's safety, not to let her mind be polluted, and not to let her die, but how can the breath of those dozens of flying dragons be said to be able to hide? What's more, there is likely to be a guardian dragon that is nearly twice the size of a normal wyvern, and the slightest touch of its purple flame will kill you.
If everything I have been through before has been difficult, today I am facing an insurmountable barrier that I must overcome. It's not like before, if you make a mistake, there is a possibility of starting over, once you fail this time, it will be a real eternal calamity, and there will be no soul left.
Pushing open the door of the house, the door of Oude's room was open, and when he looked inside, he didn't find Oude's figure, only Ouya was sorting out his bags alone. Since last night's farewell, Oude has not returned.
As if hearing the movement, Ouya turned his head, "J7, you're here, the stinky brother hasn't come back yet, I guess there's something delayed, let's pack up our things first, he must be very tired when he comes back in a while, this little thing won't bother him." Ouya smiled as he spoke.
I looked at her, and my heart was inexplicably a little panicked, only I knew that yesterday Ou De caressed Ou Ya's face, and that resolute back, he may never come back.
At this time, there was suddenly some noise outside the house, as if someone was talking about something, Ouya sighed softly, walked to the window and listened, I also approached the window to listen carefully, and a conversation between a man and a woman came into my ears.
"Do you know that there was a big explosion in the military factory in the north, and now the whole building has collapsed, and there is a huge hole in the ground, and now a lot of military people are rushing to repair it."
"Huh? No, how is this possible, isn't that where the army makes things, how could it explode? ”
"I'll tell you, it's said that someone attacked the munitions factory last night, as if some explosives were detonated, and the whole munitions factory was shrouded in white flames! Now the earth has been afflicted, and if you go to the street and look north, you can see the light coming down from the sky! ”
"Military Factory...... Explode...... How could it be, no, it can't be! Ouya's voice was full of disbelief, and she tossed aside the clothes she had just folded and ran out quickly. I hurriedly followed, and when I just went out, Chen Yuxin also walked out of the house, his clothes loose and sleepy-eyed. When he saw us rushing out, he asked me, "What's the matter......
"Hurry up and pack your clothes." I said from the bottom of my heart.
Rushing outside, the streets were already full of people, and people were looking to the north in the distance, where a huge pillar of light was projected from the sky, it was the light of the sun, and the munitions factory was really destroyed.
A newspaper that I don't know who discarded happened to fly over and hit Ouya's face. Ouya reached out and took down the newspaper, and the first piece of news caught her eyes.
"Late yesterday night, a new weapon exploded in a military factory, causing heavy casualties and killing more than 100 people, including senior military officers Kru and ......" Reading this, Ouya couldn't read anymore, the whole person froze in place, the newspaper in his hand also fell to the ground, and his eyes looked directly at the white flame in the north that had not yet been extinguished.
At this time, Yuxin also ran out, and saw Ouya standing alone not far away, and wanted to go up to inquire but was stopped by me with my hand.
"What's going on?" Chen Yuxin asked.
"There was a big explosion at the munitions factory last night, and his brother happened to be working in it and unfortunately died."
"Why ...... like this" Chen Yuxin's eyes seemed to be a little moist, and he took a step forward to comfort Ouya, but I reached out and stopped him.
"It's better to let her be alone at this time."
I didn't tell Chen Yuxin the real situation, although this nervous girl is kind-hearted, but it is estimated that it is easy to leak out, if I am not there in the future, Ouya will have to rely on her for her life, I don't want to estranged the two of them because of some of my words.
Maybe others don't know, but I know from the three lives that the white flame should be the weapon that Oude and Crewe secretly made, and the purpose of Oude's visit last night was probably to destroy them. I don't know what he and Kru made, but the reason why he would rather sacrifice himself than destroy the weapon is probably for Ouya, to say that the only weakness of this man should be the girl in front of him who is already crying, and he really does anything for her.
"Wow! For...... Why! Stinky brother, why did you leave me! Ouya cried loudly, the brother who had always loved her, listened to her willfulness, and had been with her for more than ten years, left like this, no matter who he was, it was difficult to accept.
"Why! Please come back! Please, I won't be disobedient anymore, I won't, I'll listen to you for everything in the future, so please come back! Tears flowed uncontrollably from Ouya's eyes, sliding down her pink cheeks to the ground, and she seemed to lose all her strength, and sat down on the ground with her legs limp.
"Please...... At least let me say goodbye to you......" Ouya muttered in a low voice with sobs, her back looking particularly desolate in the neon light.
Seeing Ouya's heartbroken appearance, Chen Yuxin couldn't hold back any longer, and rushed up to hug her, this time I didn't stop her, for Ouya, she is the only person who can seek comfort now.
The two girls hugged each other, and the placket of Chen Yu's chest was quickly wet with Ouya's tears, and she couldn't help crying.
I quietly stepped aside, tears are the best vent at this time, crying out will be much better, if you endure it all the time, it is definitely a very painful thing, I feel this deeply.
"Hey, the light seems to be dim." I don't know who said it, but I subconsciously looked at the hollow in the north, and the light that had been shining from the sky was rapidly dimming. I hurriedly glanced at the time on the monitor, and secretly said no, the current time is exactly when the clouds on the ground in Tisball began to gather and rain down, and this means that in ten minutes at most, the dragons will arrive in Tisball City, if it is still underground at that time, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Don't cry, hurry up and take Ouya with me!" I shouted loudly in my heart, Chen Yu was stunned for a moment, and asked in a low voice, "Why ......?"
"It's too late to explain, the dragon species is about to attack Tisbor, we have to flee quickly!"
I have to say that this girl is usually a little natural, but at this time, she surprisingly did not hesitate, reached out to wipe the tears from her eyes, and ran towards me as soon as her eyes were condensed. Under my instructions, Chen Yuxin reached out and stopped a rental flying ship, and pulled Ouya to ride, Oude put all the remaining savings in Ouya's pocket when he left, although it was not very much, but it was more than enough to take the flying ship.
"Where to go?"
"Go to the nearest platform elevator, quick!" Chen Yuxin casually took out a coin and stuffed it to the driver, and the driver promised to carry us quickly into the distance.
Fortunately, the distance is not very far, and we arrived here in just a few minutes, at this time it has begun to rain on the surface, and it is in the daytime, and no one is using the platform elevator, Chen Yuxin stepped forward and said a word to the manager, and we went to the surface in the sound of the gear turning.
"Sister Yuxin, what's going on, why do you suddenly have to go to the ground, and you haven't taken your luggage yet......" Because he was in a hurry, and Ouya was still immersed in the pain of losing his loved ones, he asked Chen Yuxin only now.
J7 said...... No, I have a particularly bad premonition, as if a disaster is coming, and we must get out of here! ”
If I hadn't made up an excuse in time, this girl would have confessed to me......
"But ......"
Chen Yuxin leaned down, looked directly into Ouya's eyes, and said seriously: "Sister Xiaoya, I know you are sad, but please believe sister, sister will not lie to you, I have had an ability since I was a child, I can predict the occurrence of disasters, and it is very accurate every time, if it doesn't happen, we will come back, but once it really happens, then we will all die here, Oude he definitely doesn't want to do this, right?" ”
After being silent for a long time, Ou Ya gently agreed, "Hmm......"
At this moment, suddenly the surroundings shook violently, causing the entire metal platform to tremble three times, and then a deafening roar sounded from above, a firelight streaked across the sky, and dozens of huge black shadows flashed overhead. I know, the dragons are coming.
