Chapter 127: Appalling (2-in-1 Long Chapter)
Xue Muyan was silent, and in troubled times, this was her own choice. If this woman didn't want this, she could have chosen to be proud and self-conscious.
It was her choice, and no one could blame her.
Sighing softly, Xue Muyan silently withdrew her gaze and simply ignored this scene.
"Actually, it's good to be able to reproduce, but I don't know if this woman's body can support her to give birth to children......"
The faint voice of the city guard officer sounded in the ears of several people.
"So, how does the central camp deal with the residents who commit crimes? With so many people miserable like this, the security here should be very poor, right?" Lin Yetian said casually.
"Contrary to what the lord said, the security in the central camp is not as bad as expected. When it comes to crime, the punishment rules of the three cities are surprisingly consistent. ”
"That is, the offender, shoot and kill. ”
The face of the city guard officer was solemn, and it seemed that to him, these civilians below were more ants than ants.
"Wouldn't it be too harsh?"
"Personally, I don't think so. In troubled times, a strong law is essential if you want to establish a strict and strong rule and ensure that the rules of the three cities do not cause large-scale upheaval. ”
"The fact that these civilians have survived to this day shows that no one can value their lives more than them. As long as they can survive for a long time, they will not challenge the rules of the camp. ”
"Being alive is more important than anything else. ”
The heavy words and murmurs of the city guard officer silently echoed in the ears of several people, causing several people to bow their heads silently.
Lin Yetian didn't speak, just silently watched the dense crowd and quietly thought about something.
Troubled times use heavy codes.
What's more, it's the end times.
The procession continued to move forward in a mighty manner, and no one paid too much attention to the small scene that happened.
Under the faint reflection of the white sunlight, a group of doomsday warriors who dragged their broken bodies forward were cheering, and three or five carried the corpses of the monsters they hunted this time, all the way to the distant aristocratic district.
Their bloody stains and the smell of blood in the air, mixed with the rancid stench of monsters' flesh, made it difficult to tell who was the monster for a moment.
"It is said that the operation lost a lot of people, about a third of the Doomsday Warriors were killed or wounded, and the number of serious wounded was as high as five figures...... And the Doomsday Warrior who has lost his ability to move must not need much explanation for his fate......"
The slightly gloomy voice of the city guard officer echoed in the ears of several people, and the faces of several people were a little heavy, and they did not speak.
"As time goes by, the strength of those monsters seems to be getting stronger and stronger, even the most ordinary toothed mouse monsters before have strong strength, not to mention that even the fourth-level terrifying creatures have appeared this time......"
"It's okay to talk about water resources, after all, we always have a device that can purify the water no matter what, and the only thing we have to worry about is the leftover food......
"It seems that the corpses on the other side of the Dark River have been getting fewer and fewer recently, and our city food reserves in Zhaocheng are also close to being depleted...... If nothing else, even my own salary is only three pieces of rancid flesh a day...... I can't even tell what kind of creature it is......
"And another piece of bad news...... , I heard...... There seems to be something missing from the civilian stronghold on the other side of Whip City, and there seems to be some stinking blood stains in the houses...... Fear...... Is there really someone who wants to keep humans in captivity......"
"Except for the rat-men who live in the sewers, covered in filth and covered in plague and germs, I'm afraid the current food reserves ......"
"Go ahead with this...... Blue ...... Is there really a future?"
The city guard's face was a little gloomy and hesitant, and he muttered these unexplained words to himself, and I am afraid that even he no longer had any hope for the camp itself.
Once upon a time, he also thought about becoming a doomsday warrior, fighting everything for what he trusted and guarded, killing most of the doomsday creatures.
It's a pity that the sky is not as good as people want.
There are some things that he can't do if he thinks about them.
Even his wife and children who died tragically in front of him......
The wrinkled face of the city guard officer slowly stared at the leading members, and the scene from ten years ago resurfaced before his eyes......
"What's that light up ahead? It feels a little weird, can't it be the horn that was painted?"
"Can you really draw the light in your house?"
Xue Muyan complained casually in response, and at the same time inadvertently interrupted the city guard's thoughts, turned to Lin Yetian and introduced:
"It's artificial light, and it's far from being as realistic as natural light in terms of brightness and clarity, and it may seem a little false to the adults who have just arrived, but for this group of refugees who haven't seen real sunlight for a long time, this is the most real light. ”
Xue Muyan nodded and said nothing.
Now the situation in this world has almost exceeded her imagination, and even the light that is accustomed to in the ancient land of Sandu has become shocking here.
Perhaps, the only thing that can bring her solace is that the surrounding land is not even polluted with air......
As the team continued to advance, the path under the original light became more and more real.
"There's ...... A church?"
At the front of the procession, a makeshift transparent church appeared in the eyes of several people. Several people standing on the high rooftop could see the transparent church very clearly.
In the middle of the church, a circle of black bouquets illuminates the church with flickering candles, looking warm and hopeful.
At the same time, the three-meter-high black stone statue is lined with unclear reliefs, and above the relief stones, the same indescribable lines are scattered in a disorderly manner on the black boulders.
The black convoy stopped at the door of the church, and saw more than a dozen captains on the convoy get off the bus quickly and neatly, and slowly step into the church in an orderly manner amid the blessings of the people on both sides.
Behind him, the warriors who were also dragging the monster's body put down the captured flesh, leaving dozens of warriors with guns and standing under strict guard, and the others stepped into the church.
"These are the people of the Church of Light, and every time the Doomsday Warriors return from the operation, they receive their blessings to bless the success of the next operation. Of course, even if everyone knows that this is just a futile move, there is still something that needs to be done. ”
The voice of the city guard officer's explanation sounded in the ears of several people, and the doubts of several people were answered in time.
Faith is a very precious thing in the apocalypse, and it is the only thing that those low-level civilians can hope for.
"Speaking of which...... It's hard to say whether this Church of Light is really that bright......" The city guard snorted coldly, obviously knowing something.
Looking back at the eaves of the church, the seats below were all filled, and hundreds of worshippers stood in the back row.
Each believer was draped in a black robe, and under the robe, a black linen robe concealed their calm and serious expressions.
The artificial light and shadow are reflected through the layers of lenses, and for a while, the originally slightly crowded hall seems a little spacious and full of expression.
The lights flickered, a pale yellow halo poured on the red earthy ground, and the shadows of the disciples stood obliquely.
In front of the huge statue, a burly man dressed in a graceful red robe recited the teachings loudly, while behind him, countless believers murmured, and for a moment the mixed sounds of men, women, and children echoed through the red hall over and over again.
As these sounds echoed over and over again, the captains of the several squads who had been standing silently just now also slowly stepped forward, silently accepting the cardinal's baptism of holy light with the heavy smell of blood on their bodies.
It is said to be holy light, but because the degree of illumination is getting less and less, the light that can actually be projected to several people is actually pitiful.
Looking at these doomsday warriors who were silently baptized, the corners of the cardinal's mouth rose slightly, and his hands rose upward, indicating that the surrounding murmurs were getting thicker and thicker.
"Everything is the law, like a dream bubble. If dew is like electricity, it should be viewed as such. ”
The cardinal's lips and teeth slowly spat out words with incomprehensible meaning, and the other believers around him also learned in a similar way, and with the flickering light, the sacred hall actually looked a little strange.
"Everything is a gift from the Lord of Light!" the cardinal silently poured out the petals, and at the same time his right hand danced, pointing to the huge statue in the center, which had no face:
"The Lord of Light is the hope of the world! The Lord of Light is our gods! As long as there is light in our hearts, as long as there is light in our hearts, we are the most devout believers of the Lord of Light! The Lord of Light will bless us!"
"My heart is sunny. ”
The voices of the faithful echoed through the red hall, and the impassioned bishop had noticed that the eyes of the Doomsday Warriors in front of him had gradually turned from disdain to confusion, and for them, they seemed to have found a new hope at this moment.
"As long as the heart is set to the light, you are a believer in the Lord of Light. The cardinal gently stroked the heads of several people, and said slowly as he touched them:
"My children, even if you are in darkness, I want you to believe in the light...... You must be convinced that no one dares to spread wild on the head of the Lord of Light...... This is the territory of the Lord of Light, and only light is truly eternal......"
These slightly demonic words echoed through the hollow hall over and over again, accompanied by the murmurs of men, women, and children, the mahogany hall looked sacred and elegant, and several team leaders on the opposite side agreed with a "I realized" expression.
Suddenly, an inopportune voice came out of the mouth of one of the believers, who looked at the huge sculpture behind him and stumbled and said:
"Uh...... Bishop, there seems to be something ...... on the head of the Lord of Light."
"Don't interrupt me at a critical moment when I'm hosting!"
The cardinal did not look back immediately, but glared at the believer with some disdain:
"What's all the fuss about? What's wrong with the Lord of Light's head? A spider has landed on it, or is the statue not angled right?"
The believer didn't respond, just looked at the huge statue of the Lord of Light and looked like he was speechless.
"Young people, you need to be calm and don't always want to make big news. The cardinal said for a while, his expression seemed to calm down a little, and he turned slowly and silently and surrendered his gaze to the head of the Lord of Light:
"To settle down as a child, you need to have more knowledge and more life experience like me, so that you can change all the time...... Damn!?"
The cardinal's gaze finally saw the huge statue, but he saw a boy of seventeen or eighteen who seemed to be embarrassed to sit on the head of the statue of the Lord of Light, shaking his feet at will.
"Damn. ”
The city guard on the rooftop in the distance also uttered the same words as the cardinal, and even the expression on his face was even better than his.
"Night...... Yetian!?" Xue Muyan looked at the young man sitting on the huge statue in the church in surprise, and turned around sharply, only to see that there was no figure left where Lin Yetian was standing just now.
"This guy ...... When did you get up there, hey!"
Inside the church.
"You, you, you...... What the are you ......" The cardinal's jaw almost hit the ground, and he stumbled and fell to the ground, his arm trembling slightly, pointing at Lin Yetian above the statue and stammering:
"When the did you go up there, hey me!"
The cardinal's movement attracted the captains of several squads who had been bowing their heads and waiting for blessings, but when they looked up, they saw a slightly familiar figure.
"This ...... It's not ......"
Lin Yetian scratched his head embarrassedly, but sat motionless on the head of the Lord of Light, without the slightest thought of wanting to go down.
"I don't care how you got up, anyway, why don't you get me down first!" the cardinal's appearance seemed to be a little flustered, and the sanctimonious appearance just now seemed to be gone.
"Hey, it's so high, it's going to kill you if you jump down! I'm only eighteen years old, I don't want to die so fast!" Lin Yetian grinned, looking around the cardinal below with interest and said casually.
The cardinal was stunned for a moment, then laughed evilly, looked at Lin Yetian and said viciously:
"Little one, are you trying to play tricks on me? It's ridiculous, not to mention that I have hundreds of believers here, and one spitt is enough to drown you, and these doomsday warriors, who are also followers of the Great Lord of Light, pinch you to death as if you were an ant of unknown origin......
Hearing this, Lin Yetian blinked his eyes and looked at the several doomsday warriors below, and the doomsday warriors in the rear met Lin Yetian's gaze.
Three seconds later.
The Doomsday Warrior, who was standing closest to the cardinal, took a big step back and stammered a line with him:
"Who...... Who the is a believer in your Lord of Light, you, don't ruin my reputation!"
Cardinal: "Hmm...... Huh?"
The cardinal, who hadn't reacted yet, was about to speak, but saw that several team leader representatives who were originally confused in their eyes also woke up, looked at him suspiciously, and then slowly took half a step back, and at the same time his palm was already touching the weapon he was carrying.
Under the influence of several team leaders, all the members in the church also looked at the believers around them with unkind faces, and the appearance of a fight at any time made the believers a little jealous.
"You...... What are you doing?" for a moment, the cardinal looked at the group of people who had rebelled and was speechless.
One of the leading squad leaders didn't pay much attention to the cardinal, but looked at Lin Yetian above the idol, and asked with some uncertainty:
"Your Excellency...... Dare to ask Your Excellency, but you are the one who tore the fourth level with your bare hands...... Lord Night?"
Follower...... Tearing the fourth level with bare hands?
The uncertain words were like a thunderclap, which made the cardinal's mind a little dazed for a while, and he did not speak for a long time.
Lin Yetian sighed lightly, nodded, and then looked at this doomsday warrior with some strange eyes:
"It's me. By the way, who are you, I don't seem to recognize you?"
The Doomsday Warrior's face looked a little embarrassed, hesitated for a moment, and then said tentatively:
"Lord Yetian, I happened to be near where you killed the Lord of Slaughter, and after you killed the Lord of Slaughter, I went up and picked up a bit of meat......"
"I don't have an impression at all...... Lin Yetian scratched his head, but he didn't pursue it so much, he just nodded to indicate that he knew. "It's me. ”
Hearing Lin Yetian's admission, several squad leaders showed shocked and excited looks on their faces:
"Wuhu, I'll take off directly!"
"Bull, brother, take me, take me!"
"God, are you still missing a pendant on your thigh?"
"I'm straight I'm!"
Lin Yetian looked at these team leaders with excited expressions for a while, didn't he just kill a fourth-level doomsday creature?
Of course, what Lin Yetian didn't know was that the disaster ten years ago was still deeply preserved in the minds of several leaders.
If it weren't for the last line of defense led by Gu Tiebai's pro-soldier guards, I'm afraid that the last barrier of the Blue Realm would have fallen long ago under the siege of that group of fourth-level doomsday creatures.
Even so, even under the overwhelming strength of the pro-guard guards, the fierceness of that war was far beyond the imagination of others, and it can be said that there is not one survivor of the entire guard.
And the current young man actually single-handedly killed a fourth-level creature alive, such a powerful strength, I am afraid it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the best of the three cities.
From this point of view, it is normal for these squad leaders to look elated, after all, if you have a good relationship with this super thigh, maybe it is not impossible to save yourself because of a happy person during the battle.
"You ...... Are you going to rebel!
"Believers, it is time for you to die for the Lord of Light!
The believers glanced at each other, and then the most fanatical among them slowly moved in the direction of Lin Yetian, their eyes full of madness.
The faces of several team leaders turned cold, and they just wanted to make a move, when they suddenly heard Lin Yetian's lazy voice coming from above the statue:
"I said, what are you so nervous about? I just sat on top of this statue and didn't do anything, you were so nervous...... Won't you have a ghost in your heart?"
The cardinal raised his eyebrows, and forcibly shook his voice with some lack of confidence: "Evil words confuse the people! The old man just can't stand your blasphemous posture, if you do this, you will be sent to hell by the Lord of Light, and you will never be able to turn over!"
"Gods...... Lin Yetian smiled faintly, and said with some emotion: "Gods...... It's not something that any cat or dog can do......"
"Look closely!"
Before the words fell, a rope in his hand was wrapped around the waist of the statue of the Lord of Light, and then Lin Yetian jumped up, and at the same time as his body fell to the ground with a vigorous body, he forcibly pulled the statue of light off at the waist!
The upper body of the huge statue slammed into the ground with a bang, splashing a lot of dust, and the inside of the statue was gradually revealed.
"You...... You, you rebellious thugs, dare to do such a thing! The Lord of Light will punish you! What are you waiting for, believers!! Give it to me!" the cardinal trembled and pointed at Lin Yetian, shouting wildly.
Seeing that the statue of the God of Faith was so destroyed, all the Light Believers finally took action, and everyone slowly stepped forward with fierce eyes.
For a while, even some Doomsday Warriors were a little hesitant at this time, thinking that Lin Yetian had gone too far, and he didn't know whether he should take out his weapon to help.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute before you want to hit me!" Lin Yetian shouted with a strong desire to survive, causing the believers to stop for a moment.
"Do you really think that the Church of Light or something is really so bright?"
Lin Yetian smiled casually, then silently raised his head and cast his gaze on the half-section of the statue behind the dust mist. Many believers also looked up with some confusion.
"No, don't listen to him, kill him," the cardinal shouted hysterically, his eyes almost wide open.
It's a pity it's too late.
The splashing fog gradually dissipated, and what was in sight was clearly exposed.
"This statue is...... Hollow?"
"And it seems to be ...... inside What's it?"
"That'...... That's ......"
Countless devotees muttered to themselves in disbelief as they gazed inside the half-section of the statue, and a horrific horror appeared in their eyes:
"Poof....... Burst....... Puff puff puff....... Puff ....." A series of exhalations rang out all around. And...... It's out of place, a bit of a funny fart sound.
A corpse with a pale face, cold and stiff, mouth wide open, twisted and hysterical, human corpses were densely piled up like a mountain and crowded the interior of the statue.
The ketone body that was once full of youthful breath is now white. Countless young and beautiful bodies are twisted and superimposed. A six-meter-high "mountain" is formed.
Everyone is close to each other, and no matter how they were in life, they are now closely attached to each other.
The people were lonely.
