Chapter 2: The End of the World
The words that appeared on the silk book completely attracted Qin Hao's attention.
The pain in the fingertips seemed trivial at this point.
"Lord One, Watch the Earth, What Does That Mean?"
Qin Hao silently lowered his head and thought for a while, and suddenly looked up at the current earth.
Although the countless locusts have already formed a situation of encirclement of the earth, if you look carefully, you can find that they are all still at the moment.
Qin Hao felt as if he had faintly grasped something, and then turned his eyes to look at the earth that was about to fall into complete darkness at this moment.
With the last ray of sunlight shining on the earth through countless locust swarms, Qin Hao suddenly discovered that everything on the earth had stopped running at this moment.
The most direct embodiment is that countless large and small clouds have stopped moving, and there are even huge rain clouds that are in the process of brewing thunder and lightning.
Qin Hao suddenly brightened, at this moment, the entire universe was afraid that only his own small world was running, and he hurriedly looked at the next two sentences on the silk book:
"Prize 1: This universe stops at a moment's notice
Award 2: Choose another universe to make the leap
”
These two sentences are not difficult to understand, that is, the universe can keep time suspended forever, and I can jump to another universe.
But what does the first sentence of "watch the earth follow" mean?
While thinking, Qin Hao's fingers subconsciously crossed the part of the "Lord One".
At the moment when his fingers touched the silk book, another familiar dazzling white light flashed, and he also remembered a familiar scream:
"Oh!
After Qin Hao regained his eyesight again, the scene in front of him changed again.
This time, he was suspended in a calm sea.
"What about the silk book?"
"Where is this again?"
Qin Hao couldn't help but ask questions again, and just as he was looking around, he suddenly felt a slight heat on the top of his head, as if he was standing on a hot summer playground basking in the sun.
He looked up, and the white silk book was hovering above him, with conspicuous scarlet numbers on it, decreasing by second:
“5,4,3,2,1,0”
As the timer ended, countless "buzzing" sounds suddenly came into Qin Hao's ears.
He followed the prestige, only to see a large swarm of black and crushed waves like a meteorite into the ocean below him.
Qin Hao saw that he was about to collide with the terrifying number of locusts that were flying towards him.
It was only after he disappeared into the swarm of locusts in horror and despair that he realized that he and the swarm of locusts seemed to exist in different worlds, and they couldn't collide with each other!
At this moment, Qin Hao only felt that his ears were buzzing constantly, and his nose was full of the disgusting stench of the locust, he forcibly resisted the vomiting in his abdomen, and forced himself to stand in place as much as possible so that he could see the appearance of the rapidly descending locust.
But the locusts flew so fast that Qin Hao's naked eyes could only catch countless flashes of black shadows.
It was the moment that the thought of "I want to catch up and see" came to his mind.
Qin Hao's body, which was originally floating in the air, suddenly fell, accelerating to the speed of a swarm of locusts in a very short time.
After getting through the discomfort caused by the initial feeling of weightlessness, Qin Hao could finally see a hideous locust not far in front of him.
I saw that it was three or four meters long, and its body exuded a cold luster like metal, and its wings fluttered rapidly, producing a very harsh buzzing sound.
Its head does not have compound eyes, but instead has two short, fleshy antennae that swing rapidly in front of it.
They don't have any limbs or claws under their chests and abdomen, which allows them to fly faster.
What made Qin Hao feel the most terrifying was the incomparably huge hideous mouthparts of the locust:
That's an extremely exaggerated four-petaled sharp jaw!
At this time, it was constantly rubbing at an extremely fast frequency, and Qin Hao felt that nothing could support even a second under this hideous mouthpiece!
The speed of the swarm of locusts was very fast, and without waiting for Qin Hao to take a few more observations, he instantly rushed into the seawater.
Qin Hao's body hovered on the surface of the sea with the control of his mind, watching the countless locusts around him burrow into the sea below.
After only a few seconds, he was horrified to find that the sea below him was rapidly descending at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Wh... So many monsters rushed into the sea, how did the sea level not rise but fall. Don't... They're devouring the sea!"
After Qin Hao was horrified to find that even the oceans were gradually drying up, he couldn't help but think of the human civilizations that lived on land that accounted for less than 30% of the earth!
He hurriedly used his mind to control his body to rise rapidly to the height of the atmosphere, and flew wildly in a random direction!
Now the earth is about to fall into darkness, not because it turns to the side where the sun can't shine, but because the outside of the atmosphere is almost full of locusts!
They are incalculably numerous, floating silently in space, sometimes flapping their wings to ensure that they are not attracted by the gravitational pull of the Earth.
At this moment, there were anomalously no new locusts outside of space to continue to fly towards Earth, as if the vanguard legion that had just flown to Earth was enough—enough to destroy Earth.
Qin Hao didn't want to look more, he frantically compared the shape of the continent on the globe in his mind in his dim vision to find a similar shape of the coastline.
The hard work paid off, and he spotted a huge piece of land beside him and hurried over.
It took him a minute or two to find the city he once lived in.
The originally civilized and noisy city has now become devastated, and the urban area of the city is dim and there is no light on it. The streets and alleys were filled with black smoke, and countless screams of panic and despair followed, and sometimes the roar of explosions came from everywhere.
The performance of the locust swarm here is different from the previous sea surface, they do not attack the ground, but give priority to finding creatures in various shopping malls, houses, and street corners!
Whether it is a wild dog, a kitten or a mouse, or even a fly, a mosquito, or an ant, no creature can escape from their mouths. Of course, it also includes the founders of the city - human beings!
The original undisputed ruler of this planet now has no power to fight back, planes, artillery, and even nuclear bombs cannot take off, launch, or explode under the terrifying mouthparts of the locusts, and a black shadow flies over and is devoured at all.
The horror of the locust is vividly reflected at this moment.
Qin Hao's eyes were shattered at this moment, watching countless people fleeing in a hurry, being devoured by the hateful predators in the air one by one, and some couldn't even scream.
He shook his fist weakly, but he couldn't touch the locust, and he couldn't touch anything in front of him at the moment.
This kind of hell on earth had too much impact on the immature Qin Hao, and he couldn't accept the tragedy in front of him.
But whenever he was about to faint, a burst of cold energy would come from the silk book above his head, keeping him in the most sober state at all times, like an iron-blooded instructor forcing him to accept everything in front of him!
Qin Hao roared in collapse and slapped around indiscriminately.
For a long time, his throat could no longer make a sound, and his dancing arms, legs and feet were unable to continue, and he wandered unconsciously in mid-air on the verge of collapse, waiting for him to regain consciousness again due to the energy of the silk book.
I found myself floating in the center of a once bustling business district, and now I was right above an intersection.
You can still see a crowd of people fleeing from one house to another adjacent mall to escape the pursuit of the locusts.
After experiencing countless times of consciousness collapse and restoration, Qin Hao is now a little numb to this, and he looks at the tragedies that are still happening around him with an expressionless face.
At this moment, he suddenly heard a faint cry from under his feet, and he followed the sound to see a lonely little girl who was burying her head in her chest, squatting on the ground with her hands around herself, crying in a low voice.
It looks so conspicuous in the empty street, but it highlights her weakness and helplessness even more.
This intermittent, misleading cry was also caught by a locust flying by.
"Zizi Zizi~"
The locust rubbed its mouthparts excitedly, and suddenly turned and flew towards the little girl.
Qin Hao, who felt that his already numb heart suddenly ached, and roared frantically:
"No! She's still a child! She's only been in the world for a long time! No!"
Qin Hao really couldn't watch such a budding stamen disappear.
He flew quickly towards the little girl, grabbing her ribs.
"Whew", his hands passed through the little girl's body without hindrance.
Qin Hao had tears in his eyes, and the unwillingness in his heart made him rush to the little girl again.
"Whoosh", Qin Hao once again penetrated through the girl's vest without hindrance.
He cried out in despair:
"Little sister, run, run, run, I can't touch you, I can't touch you, you hurry up, go, hurry, don't cry, the locusts are coming!"
In Qin Hao's terrible screams, the locust ruthlessly devoured the little girl, and then turned his head and rushed to another street without pause.
Qin Hao looked at the large pool of blood and the ground of minced meat in front of him stupidly, the cry in his ears stopped abruptly, and he collapsed again.
Sure enough, that damn cool energy was transmitted from the silk book again, and Qin Hao came to his senses again.
He frantically slapped the silk book above his head, and said frantically:
"Damn it, you made me faint, you made me faint, I don't want to watch it, I won't watch it!"
The silk book floated lightly above Qin Hao's head, no matter how he slapped it, it would still return to its original state in the next second.
After the futile Qin Hao got rid of his strength, he could only continue to look at everything around him in despair,
Suddenly, he remembered his courtyard, where his family was hiding.
At this time, he didn't dare to imagine the image of his family being devoured, but he was sure that it would definitely happen.
The two choices of wanting to go home and not daring to go home had a fierce conflict in his mind. . .
But in the end, he really couldn't deceive himself, and deceived his family to escape this catastrophe.
He chose to go home, and although he didn't know what he could do, he just wanted to go home.
Go home to see your father and mother, look at your sister in the flower season, look at your elderly grandparents, grandparents, and relatives whose blood is thicker than water.
During the flight, Qin Hao's heart was still extremely struggling, he wanted to get home quickly, but he was afraid that he would see his family die one by one when he returned home.
It's fast, it's fast, Qin Hao saw the extremely familiar street in front of him - this is the only way for him to go to school every day, and after a traffic light, he will arrive at the old city, where his family's courtyard is among them.
But at this moment, even the old town, which is less densely populated than the urban area, has been covered by locusts.
There was one that flew in the same direction as Qin Hao, aiming at the courtyard at the end of the line of sight!
"No!
Seeing that his relatives were about to be poisoned, Qin Hao screamed and broke his throat.
But his roar was in vain, and the courtyard in front of him was crushed by a huge locust, and more than a dozen men and women rushed out of the house, all of whom were holding pot lids, iron pots and other objects in their hands.
In the man's hand is a watermelon knife, a mop, a broom, and everything else that can be used as a weapon.
Qin Hao saw his father rushing to the front at a glance.
He held an iron clothes pole in his hand and smashed it with all his might.
But after the "click", the clothes pole spun in the air without stopping. Originally, Qin Hao's father's location was now only a stump and bloodstain.
Seeing this, the corners of Qin Hao's eyes cracked, and his mouth grew silently, and saliva and blood kept flowing from the corners of his mouth.
The locust rushed into Qin Hao's relatives without any pause, and let out an excited chirp.
Those men who protected their wives and children behind him like Qin Hao's father looked at death as if they were at home, and moths rushed towards the devil-like locusts.
He was immediately lost in several screams of misery and despair.
The women who saw their husbands, sons, and fathers die tragically at this moment also raised their weapons frantically, and rushed towards the Grim Reaper in their eyes with tears in their eyes.
The locusts were unhurried and devoured the people who rushed in front of them one by one.
After a while, there was only one pair of mother and daughter left alive in the entire courtyard, which was Qin Hao's mother and sister.
Qin Hao had now collapsed and fainted countless times, and the clothes on his body were torn to shreds by himself, leaving bloody marks on his body.
But his physical pain was far less than the mental torture.
He watched his mother and sister sit on the ground with desperate faces, crying out in his mouth:
"Xiao Hao, where are you?!Can't our family even die together?!"
"Hum . . . Click"
"Woooooooo ”
"Buzz . . . Click"
"Poof"
A mouthful of bright blood gushed out from Qin Hao's mouth.
He witnessed all his relatives die one by one in front of him, and his eyes seemed to have lost all life, and it was all empty and dead.
I am afraid that this is not the case in ancient times!
By the time Qin Hao woke up again, the earth was already dark.
The ground beneath his feet was now flat and ravine, revealing the deep tumbling crimson magma of the earth's crust.
Qin Hao floated sluggishly in the air, watching the little remaining soil of the earth being rapidly devoured by the remaining locusts.
The crust, the mantle, the core . . . All of them are reduced to nothingness.
The scarlet number on the silk book above his head appeared again at some point and decreased again by second:
“3,2,1,0”
A dazzling white light flashed, Qin Hao's eyes stinged again, and he closed his eyes.
When I regained my eyesight, the scene around me changed again.
Looking at the azure planet in front of him, Qin Hao couldn't help but kneel in the light curtain and cry loudly, his cry was full of surprise and fear.
The text on the Heavenly Dao Silk Book has changed:
"Lord One: Watch the Earth Follow-up ○
Prize 1: This universe stops at the same time
Award 2: Choosing Another Universe -
”
After a long time, Qin Hao straightened up, wiped away the tears on his face, knelt in the void and solemnly kowtowed his head three times to the blue planet:
"I, Qin Hao, swear! One day, I will come back, kill all the locusts, and save the earth!"
The young man's heart has undergone earth-shaking changes after this hellish experience.
