Chapter 500: Coming Home
The gray snowflakes in the sky were still falling, constantly falling on Charles and Anna, and after a while, the two sitting on the steps had become two snowmen.
"Whew~" Anna's body cracked open, and more than a dozen tentacles quickly stretched out and shook continuously before quickly retracting them.
Anna, who was suddenly clean, stood up and pulled Charles's arm, trying for him to stand up. "Let's go, go inside and get something to eat, you haven't eaten anything at all. ”
"Go eat, I don't have an appetite. Charles retorted in a low voice.
"And what are you thinking about now?" asked Anna.
Looking at the gray snow in front of him in a daze, Charles's eyes were full of confusion, and he paused for a while before he slowly said: "Thinking a lot, thinking about a lot of things before, my mind is very messy now......"
Just as Anna was about to say something, the sound of the propeller came from far and near, and the pathfinder returned.
The wind whipped up by the propellers blew the gray snow in all directions, revealing a cracked brown earth.
The pilot on the helicopter was holding something and rushed towards Charles.
Charles quickly stood up and looked into his arms. It was a long strip worm curled up into a cake, and its shell didn't look like a chitin shell, but like half-melted scarlet flesh, and if it weren't for the rows of long legs underneath it, I wouldn't have seen it to be a worm.
Charles stretched out his prosthetic leg and grabbed the head of the bug, and with a sharp flick, the curled body quickly straightened, and the length of the bug actually reached one and a half meters.
This is not life on Earth, at least not in the 21st century.
"Where did you pick it up?" Charles asked in a hoarse voice.
"Picked up 20 kilometers in the direction of 3 o'clock, it looks dead, 50 meters to the left of the object is a black mist with no boundaries, I didn't dare to go in, there seems to be some living thing in the mist. ”
Charles nodded and threw the bug back in his hand. "Isolate it first, and then have someone dissect this bug to see what's in its stomach. ”
As the man left with the bug in his arms, more and more helicopters quickly returned, 16 went out and 15 returned.
They brought photos of the nearby landscape, as well as a variety of special plants and animals. But these things are very different from the creatures on Earth before, strange and distorted.
Charles seemed to calm down, scrutinizing what the helicopters had brought back, and Anna, who was standing next to him with her hands on her chest, looked at his back with some concern.
Suddenly, she saw Charles stop, staring motionlessly at a photograph in his hand.
Anna walked over and reached for the picture. In the photograph is a large mountain with no top visible, but there is a faint glow on the right side of the mountain, a cool hue that is different from the dark purple in the sky.
"Is there anybody? or are there other sapient beings?" asked Anna, looking at the picture.
Charles, frowning, shook his head and turned to walk towards the airship. "Whatever it is, go over and see it first. ”
The airship began to shift direction and set off in that direction.
The gray snow was still falling, and a thick layer had accumulated on the airship's airbags.
Although the floating airship is not good at high-speed flight, it is better to be stable.
It didn't take long for Charles, who was standing on the bridge of the ship, to see the huge mountain, which was full of oppression and stood motionless. Like a sleeping giant.
Charles also saw the light, but this time the color of the light changed to indigo, which confirmed Anna's conjecture that the light was not natural light, and under normal circumstances, there would be no such color change.
"Drive over. As Charles gave the order, the airship slowly approached that direction.
At the same time, the machine guns and bombs were also in place, and if there was really any trouble over there, the armed forces of these five huge airships were not vegetarians.
Slowly, the light source appeared in front of everyone.
However, the moment Charles saw the thing, he was suddenly shocked and shouted: "Everyone get down!!Pull down the sunshade curtains!!"
He found out that the light source was the God of Light! He hadn't left the surface!
"Whoa~" The black curtain quickly obscured the light coming in from outside.
Charles walked over to the window, carefully pulled a corner away, and looked out.
The huge body of the god of light was gone, and only one of its sun heads fell to the ground and moved slowly.
His color should have been bright and warm white, but now He was a strange indigo blue, and shone slightly from time to time.
"Telescopes. Charles held out his hand behind him.
Grab the telescope that you have handed to your hand and put it in front of your eyes, and look towards the God of Light.
He soon discovered that the God of Light was not moving on his own, but that someone was dragging him along.
A human, who looked extremely small in front of the great body of the God of Light, was pulling Him along with some black ropes.
The scene of human beings pulling an indigo sun in the gray snow is both spectacular and eerie.
Charles dropped the binoculars and turned to rush towards the exit. "Anna, don't come along, I'll go over and have a look. ”
But it was clear that the other party would not listen to him, and just as Charles had just grabbed the parachute and jumped down, he felt the back of his neck sink and Anna was already sitting on his shoulder.
"Hurry back!!I'll just go alone! I have something to ask the God of Light!"
Anna's legs tightened slightly, "Don't think." ”
Her back body cracked, and several tentacles wrapped around the parachute rope pulled slightly, and the parachute quickly fell towards the position of the god of light.
By the time Charles landed, he had already appeared in front of the God of Light.
Only then did he realize that the person was the Pope, and it was the Pope who used a dozen giant chains that were two meters thick to put on the God of Light and pull him along.
The naked Pope's lips tightened and his eyes were red, as if he was holding back his tears.
"God, hold on! We'll be back soon!We'll go home!!" the Pope, who was tugging on the chains, cried out loudly, his voice as if full of endless grievances.
With a "snap", the light on the god of light exploded violently, and only pure blue was left on his body, and this color was even lighter, almost on the verge of extinguishing.
"Ledger, forget it, I'm dying, don't waste time......" A female voice with endless exhaustion suddenly sounded.
Hearing this, the Pope finally couldn't help it, and he whimpered and cried. Tears fell in large numbers. But even so, he didn't let go of the chains on his body, and he was still pulling with all his strength.
"Please, God, please don't leave me!!You can do whatever I want!!"
Charles, who was standing next to him, opened his eyes wide and looked at the scene in front of him in shock, just by revealing one face, the God of Light, who almost wiped out the human race in the earth and sea, was actually going to die, what kind of existence could do such a thing?
"Ledger, I'm sorry, I can't fulfill the promise we made, but ...... Good thing you have nothing to lose, goodbye, old friend......"
A sky-blue light shot from the god of light onto the Pope, and his wrinkled and age-spotted body quickly became firm and elastic, representing the rapid return of old white hair and finally to a beautiful blonde.
Even as his body rapidly became smaller, his mutilated body was completely repaired, and eventually the Pope's body returned to the appearance of a ten-year-old boy.
But at the same time, the light on the god of light became more and more dim, and he seemed to be using his last power to rejuvenate the pope.
Charles was in a hurry when he saw this, the God of Light was about to die, but he still had a lot to ask of Him.
"Wait, what the hell is going on?How did the surface get to be like this!!Who hurt you?"
The body of the God of Light suddenly brightened, emitting an extremely dazzling blue light, and the loud voice resounded throughout the Gobi. "They deceived me! They deceived us all!"
"Smack~!" The entire God of Light exploded into all kinds of brilliant light, and after a few seconds, the God of Light disappeared.
The recovered young Ledger put down the chains in his hand and walked to the position in front of the god of light in a daze.
Suddenly, his legs weakened and he fell directly to the ground, crying loudly, at this time he was no different from him who was besieged by teenagers 120 years ago, desperate and helpless.
Charles and Anna stood aside, looking at everything in front of them, when suddenly Charles moved, his prosthetic leg turned into a chainsaw and spun rapidly, and he walked straight towards the Pope.
In the face of Charles's actions, the Pope did not move, still kneeling in place and crying in despair.
Anna's tentacles grabbed Charles, "Let him live, you killed him just to help him get free." ”
The weeping Pope crawled on the ground, slowly crawling forward, and finally crawled to the point where the god of light disappeared and curled up in a ball. "God...... I feel your temperature, you're not leaving, are you......"
"What are you going to do next, continue to search for your family on the surface?" Anna asked.
Charles lowered his raised hand, and he looked up at the hazy dark purple of the sky.
Suddenly, he reached out, grabbed Anna's right hand, and walked in the direction of the airship.
"No, I'm not looking for it, there's no family on the surface, my family is in the sea now, Anna, let's go home, my family needs my help. ”
