Chapter 5: Sacrifice for Righteousness
The rattans in all directions seemed to smell a bloody piranha, and frantically pounced on Shen Cheng's father and daughter. Wei Yi swung his sword and sprinkled a curtain of light, firmly protecting the two people behind him. The sound of "poof, poof" continued to sound, countless rattans were cut into pieces, and the remaining stumps retreated in panic.
But in just a moment, the stumps that had lost their branches soon grew new ones. They swung a few times, and then came up one after the other, and so on.
Wei Yi's sword cut off one rattan after another, and there were mountains of broken rattan branches piled up on the ground. His hands were already a little numb. Just mechanically waving, chopping through one rattan after another rushing up.
Shen Cheng's leg didn't know why it was unconscious, as if it wasn't his leg anymore. Wei Yi guessed that it was probably poisoned. This strange plant not only has intelligence, but also has a terrifying recovery ability, and also has an invincible venom, I don't know if there are other abilities that are more surprising.
What he didn't notice was that the rattans that he had cut off gradually burrowed into the ground, converging on an extremely unusual rattan body, gathering more and more. The rattan emitted a colorful light, and its whole body was like glass, transparent and bright.
As it became as thick as a bucket, a burst of light emanated from it. It instantly shrunk dozens of times, became extremely slender, and suddenly drilled up from the ground, and stabbed straight towards Wei Xuan.
Wei Yi suddenly felt a tingling in his scalp, and an extreme sense of danger made him tense all over, and the hairs on his body stood on end. He flashed to the side reflexively.
"Poof" a rattan glowing with colorful glass light instantly pierced his shoulder blades, rushed straight towards the sky, and then turned around and stabbed Wei Yi's forehead.
"Oh, don't!" Shen Xiaoman screamed, and she rushed over, trying to push Wei Yi away.
Wei Yi pushed her away and shouted to Shen Cheng: "You're all fine, let's go!" Come on! ”。 He hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, but it was too late.
The colorful glazed vines stabbed into his chest fiercely. Wei Yi used the last of his strength to swing his sword and cut it off.
Colorful juice squirted all over his body in an instant. Blood kept spilling from the corners of his mouth, but he turned his hand and threw the lightsaber at Shen Cheng's side.
"Let's go!" He spat out a mouthful of blood, almost roaring and shouting to Shen Cheng's father and daughter, and then fell heavily to the ground. In his hand, he was still clutching the half-cut colorful glazed vine that had been cut down.
Shen Cheng dragged his injured leg, pulled out his lightsaber, and pulled Shen Xiaoman away in pain. His heart hurt as if he had been cut by a knife, and the tears could no longer be controlled, and the spring gushed out. This stranger saved him twice, but he could only watch him die like this. Life is so small.
Wei Yi only felt that the strength in his body was leaving him little by little, but the surrounding rattans seemed to not see him, and they all took a detour. In a daze, he seemed to hear a voice that kept asking him, "Why?" Why don't you run away? Why did you save him? ”
"Where did so many come from, why?" He muttered to himself in a low voice, his consciousness sinking into endless darkness.
The juice of the colorful glazed rattan was gradually absorbed by Wei Xuan's body. Gradually, his body began to glow with colorful light. When the light was at its peak, his body gradually began to dissipate. After a few moments, it disappeared without a trace.
Wei Yi felt as if he had arrived in an indescribable place. It's a borderless space, surrounded by countless points of light that are constantly flying in a certain direction. He reached out to grab one and take a closer look, but suddenly found that his hand was actually made of nothingness of light.
He looked down at himself in astonishment, and found that he was emitting a colorful glass light, but it was a disembodied phantom. He wanted to open his mouth to say something, to ask out loud, but found that he couldn't say anything at all.
He tried to pinch a point of light that passed by him, and in an instant, he saw the figure of a woman, and all the things that this woman had experienced in her life. Like him, she experienced the disaster and died on the way to escape.
He pinched another point of light, and it was a little boy. The little boy's life was extremely short, and his memories finally stuck on a Dalmatian.
Dalmatian sacrificed himself to protect his master, but he did not save the little boy's life. They ended up hugging each other and dying. Wei Yi clearly saw the despair in the boy's eyes and the admiration in the Dalmatian's eyes.
He let go of the two points of light and let them run away with the group of points of light. The inexplicable traction also continued to pull him, and with the surrounding points of light, they floated together in a certain direction in the distance.
"What kind of place is this? I think I'm dead, right? Wei Yi stopped touching those points of light. He looked around, and his heart was extremely uneasy to follow the points of light around him, converging forward.
It was a long road, and I don't know how long it took for him to finally see countless spatial cracks. The light was dragged, and in an instant it was swept into one of the cracks. Wei Yi clearly saw that those points of light were broken down into dust, and they were only engulfed by cracks in an instant.
"What the hell is this place? Doesn't death make people die in peace? Wei Yi wailed in his heart, watching as the countless points of light around him were swept into those cracks, all of which were broken into dust. And the next one is right away.
He struggled, but was still helplessly pulled to the crack. Seeing that the crack of the black hole was about to tear apart his ethereal body, the colorful glass light on his body suddenly enveloped it and plunged into this crack. In the midst of the whirlwind, Wei Yi didn't even have time to be surprised, and he instantly lost consciousness.
For a long time, he felt some coolness in his body, but it was extremely soft underneath, as if he had returned to his cozy little bed.
He slowly opened his eyes, and in a blur, he saw the familiar ceiling.
Ceiling? Wei Yi jumped up suddenly. He looked around and saw that it was actually in his own home.
It's very neatly furnished, and the seats are dusty. The electronic hanging watch at the bedside told him very conspicuously that the time was the night before the disaster.
"It's not scientific, I'm obviously dead." Wei Yi stretched out his hands, looked at them carefully, and pinched his face vigorously, until his face was pinched purple and red, and he was convinced that this was true.
He sat down on the ground, struggling to remember where he had been. But everything after entering that spatial rift was unknown, and he couldn't recall anything. He was convinced that he was not dreaming, and that the memories he had had experienced before, not fantasies or dreams.
But what is happening now is too much for him to understand. He was in this room not long ago, and he encountered an unprecedented catastrophe. He remembered it well, and he couldn't have been clearer than clear. Shen Cheng's father and daughter, the huge plants he had never seen before, the mysterious light, and the kind officer, he remembered all these things clearly.
Is it really just a dream? He looked out the window at the quiet night, the moonlight sprinkled a silver veil on the ground, soft and peaceful. Insects chirp one after another, and the shadows of the trees under the moon swaying slightly. It was all so quiet and peaceful, and there was no sign of the catastrophe that struck.
Wei Yi looked at the electronic wall watch: 2105 AD, September 18, two o'clock in the morning. That's the start time he remembers. He should still be asleep, dreaming of a beautiful woman, and then, suddenly, someone broke in.
"Bang dang", just as Wei Yi pondered whether this was a dream he had. The door of his room was slammed open, and several police officers in police uniforms rushed into the house, and without saying a word, they were about to run out of the house.
"What are you doing?" Wei Yi was startled, subconsciously struggled out, knocked over a police officer with a punch, picked up a chair, and smashed another police officer who rushed up.
"Your situation is dangerous, and we must get you out of here at once. Please stay calm! Someone shouted at Wei Yi.
Wei Yi picked up something and threw it at the person who spoke, and smashed it on the man's forehead. The man screamed, clutched his forehead, and hurriedly took a few large steps.
The officers tried to persuade Wei Yi to calm down and leave with them. However, Wei Yi was still unsure of what the situation was, he didn't know what the other party was here to do, and everything he had experienced before made him feel very confused and tired. He didn't want to be taken away as an experiment, so he dissected and studied.
They were at a stalemate for a while. A rush of footsteps came from outside. The building shook slightly for a moment.
"What is this?" The moment Wei Yi felt the tremor, he completely understood. That's all he's been through before. Trembling, evacuating, collapsing, escaping, oh my God, he's really back to where it all began.
Crazy, he rushed out of the gate and crashed into the officer. Wei Yi ignored him, pushed the man away, and ran in the direction of the stairs.
"Wait a minute, come back quickly, you have to leave here with us at once." The officer shouted desperately behind him.
A few people came down the stairs, and one of the old men shouted to Wei Yi, "What are you running up for?" I don't know if I'm evacuating now? Hurry downstairs! ”
"Dad. Mom? It's dangerous right now, and we need to get out of here. Wei Yi said eagerly to the old man.
"This, this." A slightly younger police officer, carrying a man on his back, craned his neck and shouted at Wei Yi a few times. Wei Yi hurriedly squeezed over and personally carried his mother.
"Alright. Let's go, it's too late to delay. The officer chased after him and said to everyone. He nodded to Wei Yi from afar, and went to help an old man with impaired mobility, beckoning everyone to go downstairs quickly.
They got out of the building, got into a large police car for evacuation, and sped away. The buildings in the distance were beginning to collapse continuously. Shortly after they left, the building collapsed in an instant. The smoke and dust were almost chasing the butt of the police car.
"Tell me, what the hell is going on?" Wei Yi comforted his parents for a while, squeezed to the officer's side, and asked seriously.
"I'm sorry, I can't talk to you about it right now, it's highly classified." The officer did not give a substantive reply. He was shocked by the news he had just received that all members of the Marine Corps had been killed in the line of duty, and none of them had been spared.
Wei Wei grabbed the officer's collar, almost roaring, pointing out the car window and shouting, "Confidential? You look outside, you look closely, so many people are dead! Take a closer look! I just want to know what the hell is going on here, and what the hell is that damn plant? ”
The officer's eyes widened in surprise, he stared at Wei Yi with an extremely unbelievable look, and asked in extreme shock, "How did you know?" That's impossible. This is highly classified content, how could you possibly know? ”
He broke free of Wei Yi in an instant, and he didn't care about tidying up his clothes. grabbed Wei Yi and examined him as if he were looking at a prisoner.
"Say! Who are you and how do you know this? ”
"You don't care how I know, tell me, what the hell is that thing?"
The two are-for-tat, Wei Yi wants to know the truth, and the officer suspects Wei Yi's identity. They quarreled and pulled at each other. The people around hurriedly stepped forward to persuade each other. There was a commotion in the carriage.
"Bang dang, bang dang" The moving car suddenly jolted violently a few times, and the people in the car were all turned upside down.
Wei Yi and the officer writhed together and fell to the floor together.
"Hurry up!" A shout came from the direction of the cab. Everyone hurriedly reached out and grabbed the handle beside them. Wei Yi and the officer both let go of each other, got up and looked out the window.
The earth was shaking and shaking, and it was broken into verses and verses. Layer after layer of new soil came up from the ground. The whole surface seemed to be lifted up. Bottomless cracks appeared one after another. The cracks in the ground spread like cobwebs in all directions.
There was a loud bang, and a police car was rushed out of the ground by something, and it flipped a few times in the air, and plunged headlong into a newly cracked deep ditch.
"It's it, it's it. Quick, accelerate, get out of here right now. The officer yelled and ordered the driver. However, it was too late.
Everyone suddenly felt the loss of their center of gravity, and the gravitational pull of the rapid fall pulled everyone's heart almost out of their throats, so it was not uncomfortable. Wei Yi spread his hands widely, hugging his parents tightly, ready to push them up at any time.
The "Puff Pass" police car was planted in the groundwater, stirring up a huge column of water. When the car stopped falling, it was not long before the water began to seep into the car.
"It's not good, quick, smash the glass. Hurry, or we'll all drown. The officer removed the hammer from the window and smashed the glass with all his might. The water rushed in and knocked him into the glass of the car on the other side.
