Chapter 29: Where the Soul Is (1)
In the iron-gray world, it should have been the pain of time like years, and Yichen, who was anxiously worried about Ai Xue, hated the rapid passage of time.
His steps were no longer steady, and each step followed the next, and he became more and more impatient as he felt the deep powerlessness of his life force.
There was not much time left for him, and he had to find Ai Xue.
Faltering, his body was shaky, Yichen, who had been kept awake by pain, gradually found that the pain of the broken arm could no longer suppress the exhaustion of the spirit, and he began to press the wound on the broken arm again and again, and every time he pressed, the severe pain would spread throughout the body like a strong electric current instantly.
Although he knew that this stimulation would only have a short-term effect, and even that the spirit would be more tired and his body would become more and more unbearable after the pain, he still chose this method.
There was no blood on the ground, he didn't know if he had walked the road ahead, and the world without a sense of direction, when he was first shrouded in darkness, he experienced that even if he decided to move in one direction, the final result could be to turn in circles.
But he had no other choice, and in order to find Ai Xue, he had to move forward.
Walking step by step in the world of iron ash without sound and other colors, the torture from death silence and death did not make him feel afraid, and not finding that girl was what he was most afraid of.
Even if he died, he would have to see her for the last time.
Otherwise, he would not have blinked.
I don't know how long it took, but at a certain moment, his body and spirit reached their limit, and they could no longer provide him with the strength to walk, and he fell to the ground with a thud, his legs and feet bent but there was no strength to help him get up.
A deep sense of powerlessness invaded his whole body, and he clearly felt that he was gradually losing control of his body, and his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier due to mental exhaustion.
He no longer tried to get up, and the only remaining hand reached forward, trying to crawl on it, and then move forward.
The body told him that he was going to die.
The spirit told him that he couldn't see Ai Xue anymore.
The limbs gradually stiffened, and the feeling of death was so clear.
Suddenly, in the haze, he saw the Qianying, the Qianying who was unwilling to give up and wanted to find, yes, it was her, even if it was vague, he could recognize her.
She walked towards him, his eyes still watering with tears, he was not dead yet.
She walked up to him, crouched down, and stretched out a hand, the fingers still so long, and the skin still so fair.
He let out a silent roar for a moment, bursting out with the last shred of strength in his life, briefly overcoming the stiffness of his body and reaching out his only remaining hand.
Holding hands together, his spirit was exhausted.
His eyes gradually closed, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.
He's got her.
At this moment, behind what Yichen couldn't see, a large amount of blood red appeared on the entire lead-colored ground, not in pieces, but in the accumulation of dense blood droplets like raindrops, like blood roses blooming on the earth, encompassing the vision and shocking people's hearts.
Yichen's blood, Yichen's road, he has walked so long, and the blood shed should have killed him a long time ago, but the terrible power that this man broke out from exhausting his life made him persist here and let him come here.
The shadow that Yichen saw was not Ai Xue, he was hallucinating due to mental exhaustion, the hand holding him was strong and powerful, but the skin was dry and wrinkled.
Squatting in front of Yichen was the old man with white hair and beard, but the axe on the waist of the mysterious old man had disappeared.
The old man looked away from Yichen, turned his head to look at the iron-gray little girl behind him, and said with a smile: "Is he passed?" ”
The little girl tilted her head and snorted: "It's still a long distance!" ”
The old man smiled and said: "Enough is enough, how can anyone go so far, this kid has been tortured by you enough to be pitiful, this tenacity is also worth your face, it's a big deal to go back and let him invite you to dinner." ”
The little girl glanced disdainfully in one direction, and said intentionally or unintentionally, "I don't have someone's mouth that penetrates the sky, like a rice bucket." ”
The colorful little boy, who had already been hiding far away, listened, and his delicate little face was flushed, and he could only look up left and right as if he hadn't heard it, relieving his embarrassment.
The old man, who was already familiar with such a scene, smiled: "Then he will pass the test." ”
The little girl snorted again, but said nothing.
The old man looked at Yi Chen, who was probably dead, stroked his beard and smiled with satisfaction: "Heaven is impermanent, fate is more ethereal, it seems that you are more suitable for another choice." ”
He beckoned, and the colorful little boy flew over lightly, and glanced at the little girl as if he was weak, and was relieved to see that the other party was not glaring at him as before.
At the signal of the old man, the little boy nodded his head, stretched out his right hand, and the colorful light swayed in the palm of his hand like a docile dandelion.
.
.
.
Northwest Theater.
A rainbow bridge hung in the sky, and the little boy on the bridge was dressed in a pink and gold suit, embellished with gray-green lotus flowers, and the whole bridge exuded a majestic momentum under his feet, and all the fighters close to the bridge lost control and crashed.
The earth was filled with rivers of blood and corpses, and now, an even more desperate catastrophe had arrived.
The earth shook suddenly, not only in the northwest region, not only in Oceania, but also in the entire earth, the ocean roared, and the sky roared.
All over the world, the end has come.
High-rise buildings collapsed, broken bodies and debris rose into the air, rivers flowed backwards like waterfalls, the corpses of flying insects and beasts were everywhere, and the forests and grasslands were depleted in a large area to present a barren desolation, starting from the weakest old people and the children with the worst physique, people kept falling to the ground, and each fall to the ground meant the death of a life.
In a short moment, the world was in chaos.
Chaos, and there is no chaos to the kind of evacuation scene where the crowd scatters and flees, because there is nowhere to escape, and I don't know where to flee, the end is death, wielding a sickle and silently harvesting one head after another.
Most people look at the apocalyptic scene and the strange scene of people falling to the ground and dying, and stand in place with a desperate face, or look at the dead relatives around them with tears pouring out, or look up at the sky with a deep unwillingness in their eyes, and more people curl up and tremble their bodies, trying to escape the harvest of death in this childish way.
Everyone is full of reluctance to the world and life, and it is not until the moment of loss that they realize how precious and cherished they did not care about in the past.
As time passed, the side effects of such a terrible thing as despair really became apparent.
Some people began to go crazy and fell into a state of irritable madness, and people who lived at the bottom of the society all year round rushed into the shopping mall that had not yet collapsed, and wreaked havoc, trying to suppress the fear that quickly spread throughout the body by venting their grievances and anger in their hearts.
Luxury cars, luxury stores, and famous buildings have all become the targets of destruction, and fires are staged all over the world.
What's even more terrifying is that crime has begun to grow at a terrifying rate that people dare not face squarely, killing, raping, ...... All over the world, in cities large and small, wherever there are people, crime rates are rising wildly.
Intentional homicide, manslaughter, forced homicide, at this time, a single crime will give rise to countless crimes, and it will expand uncontrollably.
Andre, Michael, and the others who learned the news looked at each other, and they all saw powerlessness in each other's eyes, and their fighting spirit was not consumed by the terrifying Seven Element Warriors, but was exhausted in their own hands.
Now, whether or not they can win this terrifying samurai army is meaningless.
I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, as if it had received instructions from the way, the colorful army stopped attacking, slowly retreated, and finally melted into the earth like a liquid.
In this way, in the entire northwest region, only the human alliance army and the army of the Evil Legion who don't know where to go.
No, everyone has only one ending, waiting for death.
Among hundreds of thousands of people, except for the sound of rapid breathing, cries of pain, and the occasional explosion of a falling warplane, these are ignored, noticed or unable to be avoided, and there is only a frightening silence.
Someone took care of the wounded comrades nearby and helped the medical staff stop the bleeding and bandage.
There are also people who bow their heads, thinking that they will not be able to see their loved ones for the last time before they die, and tears are pouring down.
Some people simply sat on the violently shaking ground, saying that they were resting, but their faces were bound after despair.
At the moment when morale was at a low point, a straight electronic voice sounded: "Radio full-band authority passed." ”
A crisp voice coughed slightly, and said in a clear and serious tone, "What are you doing?" Ladies and gentlemen, I would like to ask everyone here, everyone! You're still not soldiers! Isn't it a warrior! What are you doing as a soldier, a warrior, a member of humanity! ”
Andrey, Michael, Chena...... Countless people raised their heads and looked at the young woman standing on the wreckage of the armor for some time, surprised and stunned.
In the face of the countless eyes cast, Fang Xiaolan's words were smooth and powerful: "The world is in chaos, the end of the world is not fake, but don't forget, people all over the world are looking at us, even the benchmarks among you human beings are decadent, desperate, and cowardly, where can the courage of human beings be!" I think that even without the end of the world, the fate of mankind will not be much better! ”
A soldier shouted: "Who are you! Who are you to reprimand us! Don't we want to win! The end of the world, even those superman-like guys are wounded to death, what can we do! ”
Fang Xiaolan's expression was majestic: "If you don't have any hope of living, you have to give up on yourself?" You are a soldier, I want to ask you, when your country is threatened, knowing that it will be defeated, knowing that it will die in battle, you can't go to war! Oh, I forgot, you're already on the battlefield, but what are you doing on the battlefield? A second ago, you were sitting on the ground, and the beggar still knew that if you sat cross-legged or didn't get food, what about you? ”
A few words made the soldier red-faced, and he had nothing to say.
Fang Xiaolan looked at everyone again, and her loud voice could be transmitted to all parts of the battlefield through the loudspeaker: "Everyone, isn't it just death?" The sacrifices of the predecessors were not heroic enough? Or can't you flaunt us? I know that everyone here is not afraid of death, but I can't help but admit that some people are afraid of pain, some people cherish life, maybe you don't care about death, but there are always people in the world who are afraid of death, but don't forget, the human nature in the bones is blood, not cowardice! ”
Her voice was high-pitched: "Now the whole world is watching us!" Since it is death, the first to die, and you are not afraid of death, why are you so decadent and depressed? Death is not terrible, pessimism in the face of death is the most shameful place for human beings! ”
A soldier sitting on the ground stood up, his expression solemn: "I apologize for my behavior just now, the pride of the human race and the honor of the soldier will stand up!" ”
Another soldier stood up, he was a little injured, but his expression was resolute: "I fell down at a little injury, it really lost the face of human beings, although I don't know what your identity is as a woman, but you are right, human beings want to die standing and die!" ”
Another soldier stood up, he had a hippie smile: "People all over the world are looking at us, there is nothing more worthy of showing off, I am proud to be the first to die, since it is death, but I must always set an example for those who come after." ”
Some people stood up one after another, and those who stood up straightened their backs, and everyone looked solemn.
At this moment, all over the world, saw the movement of this scene. The chaos almost stopped.
Human beings, weak human beings, imperfect human beings, have unyielding blood flowing in their bones.
Even death does not bring submission to this race.
Never giving in is the true soul of this race.
