Chapter Eighty-Three: Above the Ruins
I was standing about three stories above the building, and I could see it clearly from the ground. Writing, Fun, and Pavilion www.biquge.info within the small field of vision as far as the eye can see, dozens of people have already been revealed. Unexpectedly, after the disaster, there were still quite a few people who survived.
Now, individually or in pairs, they watched blankly at everything in front of them, perhaps praying that it was just a nightmare.
Others have begun to dig in the collapsed buildings like crazy.
Not long ago, they were all screaming and fleeing in a hurry under the hunt of demons, but now, when the sky was white and everything was back on track, they had all forgotten what they had just experienced.
I only remember that I experienced a severe earthquake, and I don't remember the existence of demons and demon gods at all. It is believed that soon, many of the things that have been interrupted, such as communication and electricity, will be restored, and at that time, people may communicate and discuss the possibility of natural disasters and the end of the world for a long time, but they will never be able to figure out what humanity has experienced on such a bloody night.
Standing on top of the ruins, staring at the wolves and the shattered human hands and feet exposed among the rubble, looking at the blood-stained earth, listening to the human cries and whispers, my mind became complicated again.
How I understand the pain of losing a loved one, and how many people are experiencing the same grief as I am right now. I could hear them murmuring in their weeping, and the most common thing they said was, "God, why don't you open your eyes?" ”
I repeated this phrase over and over again when I was most in pain. I thought, if the gods really existed, how could they just watch my parents suffer misfortune? They're such good people.
Now, I know that the Protoss does exist, so are they also watching what is happening in the world?
In the end, the Protoss did not show up, and they indulged the demons to devour the humans as much as they could. If they claim to be the guardians of the order of heaven and earth, then does this mean that they think such a great catastrophe is in order?
In other words, all this is what human beings should bear?
I don't even know how I followed Liqing back to the bar, and when I came back, I found that Lichun and the four of them had also returned.
Of the four people, three were injured and were being treated in the house. Only Liqiu has no trauma on his body that needs to be dealt with, and is now shuttling in and out of the bar, repairing the damaged parts of the store one by one.
Although the wounds on the other three people were a little terrifying, none of them were fatally threatening, and at this moment, all three of them appeared in their bodies and were healing in their own ways.
They heal with demonic powers, not ordinary drugs and bandages, so even if I am worried, I can't help much. I was even worried that talking to them would disturb them and have a detrimental effect on the healing, so I didn't dare to say anything, so I could only hide from a short distance and watch.
Across the street, Houqing's shop was also popped in and out, but they were apparently not so lucky. I have seen many people being carried back, and perhaps in this tragic battle, the "mystery" sacrificed many people is unknown.
I saw Dongcheng standing in the doorway, commanding with a solemn expression, and it seemed that his heart was filled with great grief. Hou Qing didn't show up, but I believe that he shouldn't have anything, and if he had anything, the "enigmatic" person wouldn't be in such an orderly state as he is now.
Standing there for a while, I didn't know what else I could do now, but seeing them hurt and miserable, I couldn't stand still standing here doing nothing. I don't know what to think, but I stumbled into the kitchen and planned to start cooking.
I was originally a bar cook, and there was nothing I could do for them, as if there was nothing else.
But when I turned on the gas stove in the morning light, I found that there was no fire at all as usual.
The gas supply has stopped, and it is strange that the city has been so badly affected that there is still a supply.
I looked around and saw that the electricity was gone. When the ground first appeared, the lights could be seen within a radius of one kilometer, perhaps because the nearby power supply facilities still functioned. But now, as in the city, all municipal services are paralyzed.
Can't even eat a hot meal.
When I left the bar last night, everything was fine. I went to the supermarket to buy red beans, because today is Gu Yu, and many people say that they should eat red bean porridge on this day. But the red beans and octopus I bought are buried deep in the ruins, and now, there is no water, electricity or firepower.
How many people, how many days and nights of destitude do they have to spend in despair?
My hands moved mechanically, twisting the ignition of the gas stove one by one. Suddenly, with the crisp "click" of the igniter, the stove actually "whirred" and ignited the flames.
Gas on? But this is impossible!
I looked back sharply and saw that it was Lichun who pushed open the kitchen door and came in, slowly walking behind me.
He had returned to his usual appearance, and had changed into a set of light gray lounge clothes, and he still looked so handsome, but there was a little more pale in his complexion. Then I realized that I had only hit one of the igniters, but both of the gas stoves were on fire, and the flame was not the pale blue of the natural gas burning, but a warm orange red.
For the "Fire Emperor", lighting a gas stove should be a effortless little trick!
"Brother Lichun, are you okay?" I said worriedly.
I had seen him take the form of a green peacock, his beautiful emerald feathers were soaked with blood, sticky and messy, and his wings were bound by a lock ring formed by black gas, which looked very embarrassed. It seemed to be quite laborious to remove the erosion of that black qi, and for this reason, Liqiu, who was not very injured, went out of his way to help him.
I've seen Lichun's true skills, but the opponent I met last night was able to force him to such an extent, which is extraordinary.
"It's okay," Lichun said, "just rest for a while." ”
I scrambled to fill the pot with water and put it on the gas stove. In the short period of time from now on, it will definitely be impossible to buy food from outside, and you will have to rely on these things stored in the kitchen to survive. And what about the people out there? Will it plunge into a long period of famine, plunder, and cannibalism?
I remembered what I had experienced after I was crushed in the rubble of a supermarket when the city collapsed.
Lichun seemed to see through my thoughts, smiled, and said, "Don't worry, Shi Ning has witnessed many such catastrophes, and each time, human beings will eventually stand up, and will soon find the most suitable way to start on the right track and multiply. ”
It sounds like Riharu has more confidence in humans than I do. Moreover, such a description always feels weird, as if human beings are those "little strong who can't be killed".
"Humans are the most complex and weird creatures in the world, and it is completely impossible to predict what they will do, the only thing that can be sure is that as long as humans do not lose the power to reproduce, they will always exist, and the whole world will change because of them."
I thought to myself, "Is this why you're interested in humans?" ”
