Volume 8, Chapter 81: The War Reignites
This conference decided several important things.
The first is the restoration of the presbytery.
The second is that the marriage of the people of the clan is no longer under the control of the Presbyterian Church, and all men are free to marry.
The third is that it was decided that his mother would be the patriarch, and Wu Zhi was expelled from his ancestral home.
The fourth is to unite with the Li family to fight against the end of the coming birth.
The fifth is to hunt down Wu Zhi and recapture the map of the Hidden Cloud Palace.
At the conference, everyone's expressions were serious. It's so serious that I'm a little uncomfortable. This is the first time I've set foot in a conference like this.
I sat next to it all the time and just listened. I am a priest in the true sense of the word, but my qualifications are too young to give any good opinions on these matters.
There is nothing that makes the people happy more than the freedom of marriage.
Before that, all marriages were controlled by the Presbyterian Church, whether you liked each other or not.
But now with my presence, there is no need for this inhuman rule to exist.
The next day, when the succession ceremony was held, my mother wore a sacrificial robe and stood in front of the temple to solemnly read the vows, and at that moment, I was really happy for my mother. She succeeded.
The position of the patriarch in the clan has always been occupied by the capable, regardless of gender, so the mother is not the first female patriarch.
However, while everyone was immersed in this joy, no one could have imagined that a catastrophe was quietly brewing!
I will never forget this because it left my mother forever.
Our enemy is the end. But no one would have thought that this fateful enemy would be so close at hand!
Deep in the canyon, there is a place called MM2, which is one of the important places where the end is born!
It's so close to us, so close that we don't have the slightest vigilance, so close that for thousands of years, no one has noticed its existence!
After the people of the Li family left, the clan was quiet for a long time!
But it's only half a day!
At that time, I was helping my mother deal with a bunch of left by Wu Zhi...... I'm a prospective patriarch and have always been seen as one of the candidates for the next patriarch, so I can help my mother with things.
That afternoon, the sun was shining, and the gutter peak returned to its former peace and tranquility!
I looked at the snow-capped mountains in the distance, and inexplicably began to miss Brother Yu Tong. Is he still in that cabin?
It was in this quiet environment that the flames of war once again ignited without warning.
The first to come was the overwhelming bombs.
It destroyed all the buildings on the ground. Many people were killed in the airstrike.
The Presbyterians and the Mother quickly organized resistance. But we are no match for MM2 at all.
Our equipment itself is not as good as theirs, and in the thirteenth year, the mecha was destroyed by half of it by my mother with the Thunder Array, and we also lost to them in numbers.
In this world, the overall level of craftsmanship is too low, and it is impossible to produce high-tech weapons and equipment such as mechas, so mecha and fighters are one less when they fight.
In the past thirteen years, although many mechs have been restored to combat effectiveness by dismantling discarded mech parts, we still do not have an advantage in numbers.
Coupled with the overwhelming bombardment of the other party, our Wu family suffered heavy losses!
I'm angry and sad to the extreme, but no matter what, I can't unleash my power like the day before yesterday.
I could only watch as countless people died in agony.
I could only watch as countless wounded people were carried down from the front line.
In the underground space of the temple, I walked back and forth among the many wounded, helping them to treat their wounds.
Their blood soon stained my white robes.
I've heard that Wei Ling has powerful healing powers, but unfortunately she hasn't been born yet.
I wondered, why don't I have this ability?
Mother had already sent a distress signal to the Li family, and in just a few hours, they would be rushing over.
But the question is, will we be able to survive these few hours?
The bad news kept coming, the defense line in front was broken through again and again, and the Wu family was forced to retreat again and again.
I sat in the temple and my body began to tremble.
I'm going to go out and check it out!
As soon as I got up, I saw my mother covered in blood and ran in. She was joined by several elders of the Council of Elders.
Behind the mother, there was also the cousin, who was injured.
"Cousin......" I held her up, and I couldn't hold back my tears.
I didn't expect misfortune to befall me again so soon!
"We can't resist it!" My mother looked at me and said with tears in her eyes, "Xiaoxue, you have to remember at all times, you have to live!" As long as you're alive, we have hope! ”
I suddenly realized something and looked at my mother, "Mom, what are you going to do?" ”
My mother didn't answer me and continued, "The other party is the end! They're against you! Xiaoxue, you are a sacrifice spirit! They will not allow anyone who threatens the end to exist.
They didn't know that you were a sacrificer. But...... The battle the night before yesterday revealed the scientific and technological power that our Wu family possessed and ended to compete with, and the second was to expose your true identity: the sacrifice spirit! The pillar of light you inspired rushed to the sky, and there was no reason why they couldn't see it. So...... As soon as the men of Liba left, they brazenly launched an attack, intending to break us all.
In the end, Wu Liu, Wu Zhi and others betrayed us and leaked to the other side information about our defense and combat effectiveness, as well as the time it would take for Li Ba to come to support.
This is the fault of the Mother and the Presbyterian Church. We didn't change the armament. ”
"Mom......" I was stunned, I never thought that this catastrophe of exterminating the clan would have something to do with me.
If I hadn't revealed my identity the night before, would it have been a different ending?
"Xiaoxue," my mother shouted as she looked at me, her eyes suddenly becoming stern, "you have to remember that you have to survive at all times!" Then find the Hidden Cloud Palace, find 'that person', and find Wei Ling! ”
"Mom......" I cried bitterly, no matter how stupid I was, I knew that my mother was saying her last words.
I wanted to throw myself into her arms and cry like I did when I was a child, but looking at her eyes, I didn't dare.
"There is a very secret bomb shelter under the temple. There must be all the daily necessities prepared inside, and that place is very strong, even if a nuclear bomb comes, it will not be possible to hit there. Xiaoxue, you take all the wounded first, hide inside and don't come out. ”
"Mom...... What about you? ”
My mother didn't answer me, but looked at the elders behind her, and a few of them nodded silently.
Looking at all this, I understood, and asked heartbreakingly, "You guys...... Is it to detonate the nuclear bomb under the gutter peak? And...... The enemy is all gone? ”
I know, I know there's a nuclear bomb. Moreover, the nuclear yield is still quite huge, once it detonates, everything will be reduced to ashes within a radius of 100 miles!
No matter how many people come from the other side, they will all be blown up by this nuclear bomb.
"No, you can't!" I tried to stop my mother, "You can't do this!" ”
The mother also had tears in her eyes, and she choked up: "So what else? ”
I'm speechless.
The mother's eyes became stern again, and she shouted, "Xiaoxue, be obedient." Take all the wounded and hurry into that bomb shelter. ”
I know that bomb shelter, it was designed with the nuclear bomb under the gutter peak, and the explosion of the nuclear bomb under the gutter peak could not destroy that place.
I didn't move, if I left my mother alone, I left my people alone, I couldn't do it!
"Xiaoxue!" Mother suddenly pulled out the laser gun, pointed it at her own head, and said sharply: "Execute the order now, or Mother will commit suicide in front of you." ”
It's emotional kidnapping, and there's nothing I can do about it!
"I listen! Can't I listen to it? I wanted to cry without tears, so I hugged my frail cousin and said, "All of them...... All follow me. ”
But there was no one on the earth who would move.
Everyone lay on the ground, silent.
The mother looked at them and asked, "You ...... Why not go? ”
One of the wounded sat up, looked at his mother, and said weakly: "Patriarch, we all know how big that place is. Everyone can hide in it, but the problem is ...... How many days will the supplies inside last? No one knows exactly what will happen after the nuclear bomb is detonated. If only the sacrificial spirits are inside, the materials inside are enough to sustain the sacrificial spirits for several years! Those of us who are dying...... It will not enter the occupied resources. Moreover, even if we want to preserve our strength, it should not be our injured people who are hiding in it, but those who are not injured yet, and their chances of survival...... Far bigger than us......"
Why is this remark so cold and ruthless?
"Then I won't go down either! Death to death, everyone dies together! I don't live alone! "I stopped and looked at my mother steadfastly!
"What are you talking about?" My mother looked at me and said angrily, "Send Xiaoxue down." If she dares to resist, knock her out! ”
As soon as her mother waved, Jin Ling appeared in her hand, and she handed it to her little uncle next to her.
Uncle Xiao is wearing a mecha, I can't beat him, and he is holding the gold order, and the gold and silver orders can't fight each other, so I can't let his mecha stop.
The little uncle nodded, and despite my resistance, he immediately put me on his shoulder and walked towards the depths of the temple.
His cousin was also taken down by him.
What else can I do but cry and pat his back like a little child?
But his back was full of steel, and it hurt me when I hit him.
The so-called bomb shelter is a huge underground space made entirely of specially made concrete.
I was locked up inside by my little uncle.
Before leaving, he looked at me and said softly but sadly: "Xiaoxue, you have to live." You are not living for yourself! It's for the entire Wu family! I'm gone, you take care of yourself. ”
My uncle's name is Wu Yue, and he is only one year older than me, but because he is older than me, I still have to call him uncle.
I lay on the door and cried sadly!
But how can I open this heavy door? If the nuclear bomb can't be exploded, how can I open it?
Uncle set the time inside, and it would be a month before I could open the door of the bomb shelter from the inside.
I cried for a long time, tried countless ways, and finally had to accept my fate!
I wiped away my tears and looked back at my cousin on the ground, who was badly injured and unconscious.
You sent your cousin down too? Is it to keep me from killing myself?
Even if I knew they were kidnapping me with morality, I could only be willingly kidnapped by them.
I carried my cousin to the bed and began to search for food and medicine in the bomb shelter.
After treating my cousin's wounds, I saw that she was still not awake. I had to try to open the door again.
Time and time again, I ended up failing!
I'm desperate, I'm decadent.
I sat on the ground like a madman and cried.
But no one cares about me!
Later, my cousin woke up, and when she knew the situation, she would only look at the ceiling and weep.
My cousin is older than me, she is more mature than me, she is more stoic than me, and she knows how to control her emotions!
For the first few days, I was tossing and turning inside, trying my best to get out.
But later, I couldn't toss it anymore!
I am tired! After a few days of fuss, my eyes were swollen and my voice was hoarse.
The heart is even more tired.
I lay on the ground weakly, and I really resigned myself to my fate.
My cousin looked at me and came over to comfort me, who was not hurt.
Hehe! The body is not injured, but what about the mind?
Gradually, I began to accept the fact that my mother could be dead!
I've lived eighteen years, but I never thought 30 days would be so hard!
In the meantime, my cousin's injuries have healed a lot, but she is crippled!
Her leg was hit by shrapnel and her main nerve was damaged and paralyzed.
By the thirtieth day. With trepidation, I opened the heavy stone door!
I don't know what's going on outside, I don't know what happened to my mother, and I don't know what happened to my aunts and uncles.
With my paralyzed cousin on my back, I walked through the long underground space with difficulty, step by step, and with a heart of fear, to the basement below the temple!
There used to be a lot of people here, but now there are no one. Only some dried up, black blood, and some messy bandages.
My cousin and I were stunned, stupidly staring at the desolate scene in front of us.
The dome was not torn apart, and there was no place to collapse.
I suddenly felt a little better: Does this mean that the nuclear bomb did not explode?
If the nuclear bomb had exploded, this underground space would have collapsed long ago, and if we wanted to get out, we would only have to use a small machine dedicated to tunneling underground in a bomb shelter!
Going up the stone stairs, my cousin and I walked out with difficulty.
The sun is dazzling, and everything has been reduced to ruins!
The trees are still there, the walls are still there, and the nuclear bomb really didn't explode.
I don't know whether to be happy or worried.
It wasn't until many years later that I learned that the information that there was a nuclear bomb under Tiangou Peak was also given to MM2 by Wu Zhi, and the other party preemptively sent spies over to destroy the detonation device of the nuclear bomb. The nuclear bomb that destroyed the world was not detonated.
Later, I also learned that on the day our Wu family was exterminated, MM2 was also served off by someone.
They're staring at us, and they're staring at them.
