Chapter 662: After the Disaster
At that moment, the veins of the continent seemed to be shattered in an instant. Nuclear weapons everywhere trembled and choked, like a giant dragon that shattered the earth, unleashing all the sealed sky-burning fury. The nuclear weapons that had been dormant in the warehouse for years squirmed, disintegrated, and finally cracked with a thunderclap.
It was a scene beyond the end of the world, and huge mushroom clouds suddenly rose, as if thousands of troops were surging out of the center of the earth. They soared into the sky, tearing through the dark canopy of the sky, outlining a thrilling picture of destruction.
Every explosion is the end of a city, the prelude to its destruction. A huge shock wave swept through everything, and even the stubborn reinforced concrete cracked under the ghostly pressure, disintegrating into an empty shell in an instant. The equipment, huts, and boulders of the city churned in the arms of the explosion, scattered and shattered like dead leaves swept away by an enraged wind.
Life became fragile in that moment, and the bustling neighborhood of the past was left with endless silence. Countless sad songs have become the sound of thanks before they have even been written, and the soul has been mercilessly swallowed by the storm before it can struggle.
Then came the earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, landslides and other disasters, as if the whole world was roaring and the whole continent was trembling. That's the fallen leaves returning to the roots, that's turning the world upside down.
At the edge of the western continent, the middle-aged man supported the old high priest as they stood by the sea, looking out at the eastern sky. On the surface of the sea, the waves are turbulent, and terrifying mushroom clouds are rising, like the imprint of a demon frozen in the sky.
The ground shook, countless rolling stones collapsed from the mountains, and dust splattered everywhere, obscuring the sky and the sun. The air was filled with the smell of burning, accompanied by waves of heat rolling up from the surface of the sea, and every time it touched, it made people feel extremely hot and suffocated.
The man's eyes were full of horror and bewilderment, and he turned his head to look at the noble and mysterious high priest. The man hurriedly said, "High Priest, why don't we avoid it?" I see that the waves will soon be where we are standing. β
"Avoidance? No, you don't. The High Priest sighed slowly and said, "Although the impact of the explosion on our side is relatively small, the nuclear radiation has been scattered all over the world, and we have nowhere to escape. At that time, all living beings will die under the radiation. β
After listening, the strong man couldn't hide the shock in his heart, and asked nervously, "High priest, is this the end you predicted?" β
The High Priest gazed leisurely at the burning ocean, his eyes filled with deep worry and weariness. He shook his head, his voice hoarse but firm: "It's pretty much the same, but the doom I predicted is far more serious than that." β
His words drifted in the sea breeze, sending chills to the heart. The picture of the end is gradually unfolding in front of our eyes, and people's fear and helplessness about the future are presented at this moment. However, they are more afraid of the cruel end of the future than the despair of the present. On the other side of the world, the fate of humanity is being quietly rewritten.
east on the continent.
Ye Ning and Li Yishuang saw huge mushroom clouds rising in the distance, like a harbinger of bad luck, and the dancers of nothingness were dancing the waltz of the end of the world. The blast wave swept towards them like a raging storm. Before Ye Ning could react, his vision was already swallowed by the endless darkness, and his consciousness fell into a never-ending abyss.
Ye Ning woke up in a trance in the twilight, and his consciousness seemed to have suddenly passed through a pitch-black tunnel and returned to a chaotic reality. He felt himself lying on top of a soft temperature, and the faint light penetrated through the edge of his vision, allowing him to see Li Yishuang's face vaguely.
"What's going on? His throat seemed to be filled with soot, and his voice was hoarse.
Li Yishuang stared at him, her eyes a little more worried and uneasy, but still firm. She shook her head slightly, and replied, "I don't know, I just know that an explosion wave is coming, and my ability helps us block the damage." But you passed out, and I'll bring you here. β
Ye Ning swallowed his saliva painfully, every corner of his body was full of tiredness and soreness, as if he was pressed against his chest by a mountain, and it was difficult to breathe. He closed his eyes, trembling fingers trying to make sense of the situation.
They are now in a bomb shelter, a shelter, low and cramped. But it can bring a ray of life to life in times of disaster. He leaned against the wet wall, trying to relieve the pain that almost swallowed him, while Li Yishuang sat beside him, guarding his safety.
Ye Ning took a deep breath and struggled to sit up, his voice a little firm: "Let's go, let's go out and see what's going on outside." His eyes had never been so resolute, like cold iron, and no difficulty could hold him back.
They stepped out of the threshold of the bomb shelter, as if they had entered another world. It was a silent wasteland, with only flying sand and dust dancing between heaven and earth. A strong sense of gloom spreads from all directions, making people dizzy.
The sky seemed to be dyed an earthy yellow, like a canvas covered in mud. The blue sky and the white clouds disappeared without a trace, replaced by darkness and coldness. The sunlight was blocked under the heavy dust, and although it could be perceived, it was impossible to look directly at its light, and it was impossible to distinguish between day and night.
It was a silent apocalyptic scene, with the dust from the violent explosion obscuring the sun, moon and stars, allowing all things to listen to the mournful silence. Ye Ning looked at this scene and remembered the picture of the extinction of dinosaurs described in the history books. At that time, the blue star was obscured by a fog of silica and sulfuric acid caused by a catastrophe, and the global cold that eventually caused the dinosaurs to extinction.
Ye Ning looked at the ruins in front of him, and countless emotions welled up in his heart. Beneath the endless dust and ruins, lies the splendor of humanity's past, and what awaits them in the future? Will it be like the dinosaurs, extinguished by the swirl of sand and dust, or will it survive and welcome a new dawn?
The scene of the end of the world always makes people want to think deeply, and in the face of the fragility and insignificance of life, Ye Ning can't help but think about the future of mankind. It's just that the sand and dust under him cover the sky, which can only make him clearer, and he can't predict the future road, so he can only take one step at a time.
There was an abnormal heat wave in the air, like a raging fire, which burned Ye Ning's clothes like red-hot iron. He leaned over and breathed, feeling like his lungs were being burned by torches. It was obviously not a normal temperature, and if the normal air was like a soft woman, the air was now more like a raging warrior, angry and hot.
Li Yishuang's voice is like a beating melody, especially prominent in the dead silence. "You've been in a coma for a day, and the whole sky has been like this all the time, and the temperature has been so high that there's no sign of dissipating," she said. β
Ye Ning took a deeper breath, as if he could taste the taste of temperatureβit was the smell of scorched earth, the smell of barrenness. He chewed on the air mixed with the smell of ashes, and said softly, "The temperature should be more than ten degrees higher than usual, and it is estimated that we are still on the verge of an explosion." If the temperature of the entire planet were so high, most of the creatures would be extinct. β
This world is like being banished into a fiery purgatory, a world of yellow sand, hot air, and dust that covers the sky, everything seems to herald the demise of life. Ye Ning and Li Yishuang stood in the ruins, staring at the apocalyptic scene like survivors, the helplessness and worry in their hearts were more like the exploration and expectation of this unknown world.
Li Yishuang's eyes showed a little worry, and her voice was low, "The most important thing is that we don't know how big this explosion is. β
The corners of Ye Ning's lips also drooped slightly, and his tone was full of bitterness and indifference, "If even that huge pine caterpillar that only destroyed humanity is dead, then the scale of this explosion may be beyond our imagination." β
Yes, if Li Yishuang can save him, then the Overlord Worm is estimated to have been destroyed by this nuclear explosion. A hundred nuclear bombs have been fired at it before, and in this case, the Overlord Worm has survived. The scale of the explosion is unimaginable.
"Star Soul, are you there?" Ye Ning continued to ask Star Soul Dao. But there is still no response, the star soul has been lost for a long time, Ye Ning has not been able to contact him for a long time, and Ye Ning has lost his understanding of the reality of this world.
But the star energy in Ye Ning's body is still there, and he uses these star energy to feel the world and feel the changes in the earth. Ye Ning felt that all the tree roots on the Eastern Continent had disappeared, the soil had loosened, the ground had collapsed, and the whole world was barren.
Ye Ning felt that the towering tree was still alive, but its roots had been traumatized unimaginably, and the roots of the towering tree were more than half shorter than before.
The heat wave is still coming, and breathing is difficult. He squinted into the distance of the dust world, and a chill ran down his spine. He turned his head to look at Li Yishuang, "Is there food in the bomb shelter?" β
Li Yishuang shook her head, and after a moment of silence, she responded, "Food and water are only enough for the two of us to eat for three days." β
Ye Ning sighed, his heart full of pressure and helplessness. "Let's take our food and get ready to go, we're going to have to keep foraging if we want to live. By the way, let's look for any surviving humans. β
Ye Ning's gaze pierced through the endless sand and dust, fixed on that distant margin. They will embark on their own journey to find the spark of hope, and in the midst of despair, all they have is the persistence and perseverance to survive. Unknown challenges and difficulties will be obstacles on their way forward. They looked at the world in the dust and bravely took the next step.
