Chapter 253: Crawling Out of the Pile of Dead
The overwhelming sound of fighting came.
The sallow, thin, and emaciated laborers under the city platform were dazed and helpless, and there was war on all sides, and they could not find their way out.
But I saw that on the top of the city platform, the priest wearing a mask shouted to the people below: "Whoever can be chosen by heaven can become the son of God, and no matter who he is, anyone has the opportunity to ......."
These words reached the ears of those who were servants.
"Me, can I do it too......"
"Can we also be sons of God?"
Then the priest raised his head, stretched out his arms, and said in a loud voice, "Climb up, climb up to the platform, climb up......
The priest's voice bewitched the people beneath the city and stirred up desires hidden in the depths of their hearts.
"Climb up ......"
"Climb up ......"
One figure after another crawled towards the altar, and some people scrambled to climb up with their bodies.
"Only I can climb up! Get lost!! ”
With a roar, there was a complete chaos under the city platform.
"What are you! I am the Son of God! ”
Puffs of smoke and dust lifted up beneath the city's platform, and shouts and roars rang through the ears of the people.
Some people are at a loss, some people are at a loss, but then there is a sudden change, from the initial struggle of dozens of people to hundreds or thousands of people.
The people rushed to the platform as if they were mad, and when one climbed up they were pulled down by the other, and in a short time some were trampled to death at the feet of the people, and some fell on the platform, and rolled down, and after a while they stiffened.
"Mine! It's mine! ”
"Get out!"
Fighting, lusting, killing, fighting......
These emotions spread inside and outside the city, and these roars mingled with the sounds of fighting.
The dog looked around blankly.
He took a step and rushed towards the altar.
"Stop fighting!"
"Don't fight!"
The dog shouted and pulled the crowd along.
But he was kicked down, "Get out!" ”
The dog fell to the ground, and he looked up to see the crowd of people.
With each step, dozens of corpses are trampled on as stepping stones.
The dog sat on the ground, his eyes full of despair and helplessness.
It's all ruined......
It's all ruined......
"Why is it like this, why is it ......"
The dog murmured, and the feeling of powerlessness deeply damaged his heart.
He endured all the suffering, changed the hearts of the people, but in just a few words, everything was ruined.
Chen Changsheng walked slowly and stood behind the dog.
He looked up at the priest on the throne.
The priest felt the gaze and glanced at the man standing under the city.
The priest didn't care, but looked at the blood of tens of thousands of people in the distance, and through the mask, there seemed to be anticipation in his eyes, expecting more people to die.
The dog was decadent, turned his head to look at Chen Changsheng and said, "Can you save them, I beg you, please save them." ”
Chen Changsheng looked down at him and said: "Whether it is under this city platform or outside the city platform, all the fights are born from desire, and I have nothing to do with you at all, life and death are all chosen by themselves, and those who do not save themselves will be saved by no one." ”
For a moment, the dog's gaze lost its brilliance and completely collapsed.
……
The battle between the top and bottom of the city lasted for two days.
Countless corpses were piled up inside and outside the city, and the mountains that had been piled up were filled with a strong smell of blood.
There was no sound around, and neither birds nor animals dared to approach here.
On the steps of the city platform, there are corpses piled up one after another, and when someone dies, there is no regret in his eyes, but unwillingness.
Dead air filled the sky, and vultures hovered in the sky, grabbing down and biting off a large piece of carrion.
The priest sat on the platform and watched the scene below.
"It's over......"
There was some pity in the priest's eyes, but then there was a bit of cruelty.
He lowered his head and looked down at the city.
"Huh?"
The priest was stunned for a moment, and he saw the green shirt again.
And beside that man there was a young boy.
"Stay honest."
Chen Changsheng greeted the dog, and then he took a step towards the city platform.
The priest stood up, and he frowned when he saw the man walk ten paces away in the blink of an eye.
It wasn't until Chen Changsheng came to him that the priest also saw this person's face clearly.
"Dare to ask if your Excellency is ......," the priest began.
"Outsiders." Chen Changsheng said.
The priest pondered, and did not ask much when he saw this.
Chen Changsheng turned his head to look into the distance, and his eyes were densely packed with corpses.
Chen Changsheng asked, "Has anyone survived?" ”
"Yes."
The priest said, "I hope that in a while I will crawl out of the grave." ”
Chen Changsheng nodded and asked, "Chen has some doubts and wants to ask the priest to answer them." ”
"Excuse me."
The priest was a little jealous of this man, he could not see through the other party, and he did not dare to act rashly.
"It's a game, isn't it?" Chen Changsheng said.
The priest did not hide it, but said, "Yes." ”
Chen Changsheng said: "With such a heavy karma, I'm afraid it will be difficult to survive in the future." ”
The priest fell silent, and then replied, "This is my fate, and it is the fate of everyone who ascends to the throne." ”
The priest stretched out his hand and removed the mask from his face.
Chen Changsheng saw an old face, and there was a particularly clear scar on the person's neck.
"Meng Qiuliang." The priest said.
"Good name."
Chen Changsheng immediately asked: "But Chen is a little curious, what does the fate in your mouth mean?" ”
Meng Qiuliang's voice was old, and then he said: "This world is far from being as simple as what you see, natural disasters and man-made disasters are only the tip of the iceberg, and the fate of the Son of God is to preserve this only remaining human world. ”
Chen Changsheng probably guessed a little, and then he also understood.
He asked, "But are there too many dead?" ”
"Not much at all."
In Meng Qiuliang's view, if this world completely falls, it will be completely hopeless.
It's just that more than 10,000 people died.
While he was talking, he saw movement in the pile of dead people in the distance.
I saw a man with a broken arm crawling out of the pile of dead people, he supported his body with a spear, stared at the distant city platform, and walked forward step by step.
"Someone is coming." Chen Changsheng said.
Meng Qiuliang glanced at the man and said, "It's a good embryo." ”
Chen Changsheng saw the man walking step by step with a spear propped up his body, until he stepped up the steps, during which the man fell down several times, but got up again.
Meng Qiuliang turned his head to look at Chen Changsheng and said, "I'm about to die, can you help me bring a sentence that I haven't finished." ”
"To whom?" Chen Changsheng asked.
"An old woman named Ning Yuan, just tell her, just tell her......"
Meng Qiuliang closed his eyes and said, "Forget it, don't say it." ”
"Why don't you say it again?"
"I just don't talk about it."
Meng Qiuliang breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head to him and said, "You should also leave quickly, when the great array of the city platform is opened, the vitality within a radius of more than ten miles will be extinct, and you will also die." ”
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "Chen is just standing here and watching. ”
Meng Qiuliang paused for a moment, and did not persuade any more.
"Whatever you want."
