Chapter 116: The Church of Eternal Life
Near the city wall, as far as the eye could see, the ground was covered with blood cream, and thick pools of blood gradually dried up and became viscous, almost sticking to the soles of passers-by's shoes.
An earthy yellow glow shimmered on a boulder-walled fortress, pouring down from its apex like a stream of water.
In an instant, the cyan boulder turned into bits of dust and sand from top to bottom, scattered all over the ground.
In the yellow sand and dust, three blood-stained figures appeared.
Ren Mingyu looked at the person who walked towards him quickly, his eyes suddenly lit up, patted Lu Qianzhe, who was sitting on the ground with his knees crossed, and said in a disgusted tone:
"Don't cry, you're not ashamed."
Lu Qianzhe put his forehead against his knees, and snorted coldly, and his whole body trembled slightly.
Ren Mingyu rolled his eyes angrily, he pouted helplessly, and wanted to pat the hand on Lu Qianzhe's head hard, but the moment he touched the top of his head, it fell gently, turning into a soothing touch, and comforted softly:
"Look up and see who's coming...... She still did not hesitate to expose the secret on her body and save the man. ”
Lu Qianzhe raised his head suddenly, looking at the people who came with tears in his eyes, and his heartbeat almost stopped.
He wiped the corners of his eyes fiercely, jumped up from the ground, and rushed to smell the fragrance impatiently.
Lu Qianzhe suddenly leaned down, reached out to circle the fragrance into his arms, put his head on her shoulder, and said in a choked voice:
"Luckily...... You didn't leave. ”
Lu Qianzhe didn't want to say that dead word, and he didn't dare to imagine the parting picture.
Even though he knew that day would come, as long as she lived.
Fate can't see through it, life is long and endless, it's better to look back at it when you first saw it, when he didn't remember anything, he once had that love, but at this moment he didn't want to bother her for the rest of her life.
Wen Xiang was stunned, her heartbeat accelerated unconsciously, and she subconsciously raised her hand and covered Lu Qianzhe's back.
Lu Qianzhe sniffed, reluctantly let go of his hand, took a step back, the joy and affection in his eyes suddenly faded, and there was a shallow helplessness that would eventually pass away.
Wen Xiang let go of her hand, her heart moved, and she raised her eyes to look into Lu Qianzhe's eyes, the happiness and reluctance in the depths of his eyes, and the faint pain made her heart also have a slight pain, as if the person in front of her would disappear in the next second.
The two looked at each other, their eyes intertwined, and it was difficult to separate.
"Gone......"
Lu Qianzhe and Wen Xiang woke up in an instant and looked at each other silently.
Lu Qianzhe's face returned to the previous hippie smiling face, he smiled and continued to say a few words to Wen Xiang, and then caught up with Zhong Lingxin and the others who had walked away.
Song Sizhao and Wen Xiang followed behind them side by side, their eyes inadvertently swept over Lu Qianzhe, their eyes revealed the understanding of seeing through everything, and they felt very uncomfortable in their hearts.
She opened her mouth, her lips trembled slightly, looking at the smell, a trace of complex and painful emotions crossed her eyes, but she didn't know how to speak, and finally she didn't say it.
The crowd gradually walked away, turned into black dots and disappeared into the street corners, and they were left behind by the city wall, and a withered and thin figure suddenly emerged from under several lying corpses.
Li Tianba picked up the stiffened corpses around him, and spat two mouthfuls of bloody spit on the ground.
"Damn, I made Lao Tzu hide in the pile of corpses for so long."
Li Tianba wiped his face with his hand, narrowed his somewhat cloudy and dim pupils, and looked at the direction where Zhong Lingxin and the others left.
The small bean-like pupils were faint, like a snake spitting letters, and the bottom of the eyes were full of greed and viciousness.
What happened just now, Li Tianba saw it with his own eyes, the slut who slapped him in the face before was going to die, and the woman who set the fire somehow brought him back to life.
"Who should I sell this news to? It's worth a lot of money. ”
Li Tianba touched his chin with a hand as thin as a firewood stick, thought for a while, and countless pictures of himself as powerful as a blessing flashed in his mind, the more he thought about it, the better it became, and his mood suddenly soared.
On that wrinkled, filthy face, a lewd and cruel smile surfaced.
Li Tianba seemed to remember something, patted his head, and muttered excitedly:
"Just go there, the most powerful, maybe, you can give me a place to enter the dungeon."
After Li Tianba muttered excitedly, he impatiently opened his legs and chased after Zhong Lingxin and the others in the direction where they left.
The once crowded and bustling safe zone has now taken on a wilderness-like dilapidated desolation.
There was only one blood moon in the sky, dim and glowing with an eerie scarlet glow. Gray and oppressive colors paint the sky and the sky, and everything around them looks cold and cold.
The pungent smoke and the thick smell of blood filled the air, making it suffocating and filthy.
Bursts of biting yin wind blew slowly, like the wails of countless tragic ghosts, and like the roar of murderous beasts.
From time to time, there were one or two screams of sorrow and a cry of sorrow in the dark corners.
Rat-like people crawl out of the damp corners, searching for lost friends and relatives in the devastation, or searching for something valuable in the rubble like hyenas.
Zhao Tianming looked at the streets full of broken walls and corpses, and suddenly felt a little cold, like falling into an ice cave, a kind of fear, mixed with despair spreading in his body.
The full moon hanging high in the sky, shining with a faint light, stared indifferently at all the joys and sorrows of the earth as usual, and the darkness fell.
Zhao Tianming rubbed his hands timidly, and the afterglow drifted uncontrollably towards the little girl beside him.
Her expression was extremely indifferent, and there was no trace of calm on her somewhat immature face, and she even looked calm, as if she had long been accustomed to everything in front of her, so that she could be calm at the moment.
This little girl seems to have an invisible barrier on her body, and nothing can enter her heart.
Isn't she a humanoid weapon secretly developed by the Federation?
Zhao Tianming was frightened by this fleeting thought of his own.
He involuntarily fell behind Zhong Lingxin, not daring to look at her again.
Zhao Tianming turned his head sideways, and quietly glanced at the smell of what Lu Qianzhe was talking to, and a faint light lit up in front of him.
If it weren't for Zhao Tianming seeing it with his own eyes, he would never believe that a person who was seriously injured and was on the verge of death miraculously healed in one fell swoop.
The image of Zhong Lingxin turning his hand to build the fortress flashed in his mind, and he still felt a little incredible.
However, he did not ask any questions, as if he had not seen them, and simply ignored them. After all, who hasn't had a secret that can't be told these days, and the more you know, the faster you'll die.
Zhao Tianming hesitated for a moment, mustered up the last bit of courage, and racked his brains to find the topic.
He put his hand to his lips and clenched it into a fist, coughed uncomfortably, and broke the silence.
"Little girl, I don't know what your name is?"
However, the person in front of him didn't give him a single look.
After a long silence, Zhao Tianming laughed dryly twice, looking for a topic stupidly.
"We're not far from the first aid post now. You've just come to our safe zone. You may not know it yet, but now that the federal currency has lost its value here, we can only go to the trading center to exchange points for food and daily necessities. ”
Zhao Tianming saw that the man holding a little girl looked over with interest, and the peach blossom eyes full of interest motioned for him to continue.
A trace of excitement appeared on Zhao Tianming's face, he hated to know everything, he scratched the back of his head, his voice was filled with pleasure, and he began to babble non-stop.
"Points, which can be earned by working for the safe zone. I've heard that in the future, I might exchange the stones dug up from the monster for points. I've dug a lot this time, and I hope I can really exchange points so that I can buy my chick the candy she likes. ”
Zhao Tianming said, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a warm smile.
"You don't have points now, you can also exchange other things for barter. Ay! These damn monsters, I don't know how many there are. Food is now becoming scarcer in the safe zone. The points for a pound of rice have risen from 5 points to 25 points now. If all the food is eaten, how will we, hundreds of thousands of people, live! ”
Zhao Tianming sighed heavily, his face gradually crawling with bitterness and worry about the future.
Zhong Lingxin and his party continued to walk towards the center of the security zone, and one by one army-green tents appeared in front of them, and the quiet atmosphere instantly became noisy.
Each tent that can accommodate dozens of people is printed with a blooming flower, which is as black as ink, like a kind of symbol.
All the tents were overcrowded, with medical staff coming in and out, and wounded people lying on stretchers wailing in pain, waiting to be treated.
Standing beside the tent were several men in black robes, wearing hoods, their faces covered with masks, and they could only be vaguely discerned from their exposed necks whether they were men or women.
When passing by, Zhong Lingxin's eyes suddenly fell on the black-robed people who were handing out leaflets in a decent manner, and they carefully and patiently preached their teachings to everyone who passed by.
She glanced at the banner they were hanging.
The Church of Eternal Life.
Zhong Lingxin dug up information about various religious organizations in his previous life in his mind, and he had no special impression of this Eternal Life Church, as if he had never heard of it.
Curious, she took a leaflet that was handed to her, and glanced at it to the effect that it was a call for people to join the Cult of Eternal Life. As long as you perform well, you can become a chosen one, gain immense power, and even live forever. Those monsters that invaded the Aqua Blue Star were vulnerable to the Chosen One. Only by joining the Religion of Eternal Life can humanity be redeemed.
After Zhong Lingxin finished reading, his eyebrows couldn't help but raise slightly, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
