Chapter 372: The End Is Coming

The giant's body disintegrated into light particles, converging into a human form where it converged at the command post.

Shen You fell among the dilapidated ruins of the captured position. The battered command post was no longer breathing of a living person, and the commander who had fought valiantly until the last moment had already swallowed his breath.

Commander Chaka sat down against the wall, clutching a machine gun in his hand until the last moment, as if there was still a hint of fire in his already empty eyes.

Regardless of his life, he was at least a respectable warrior when he died.

"General Chaka, the people are safe, we have finished withdrawing!"

A hoarse voice came from the communicator at the command post.

"We are about to go back to answer and receive a call"

The general seemed to never be able to reply.

Shen You stretched out his hand, gently closed the general's eyelids, and laid him flat on the ground.

"You've done your best, and the world will remember you."

When Shen You stood up, a pale golden light rolled over his body. By the time he stood up straight, he had changed into General Chaka.

"I'm sorry, but I'll lend you your identity."

Since the Seventh Master created a precedent, this has become one of the classic ways to start the world. As we all know, Ultraman came to the earth to choose the human body, and most of them are divided into two situations, the ghost upper body and the deity transformation. Among them, most of the people selected in the ghost upper body opening are hot-blooded young people who saved the dog at the beginning, and most of the representatives of the deity transformation are moved by the spirit of human sacrifice and used by their appearance.

Earth 2 is now a place that is just a foot away from the end of the world, and a general can be very useful in obtaining information. Shen You simply paid tribute to a wave of seniors and borrowed this vest for use.

"Command post, please call back if you receive it"

Shen You connected the communication: "This is General Chaka, I received it." ”

At this time, Karen also flew into the command post with Helena. The two learned about the situation, and Cullen was still a little surprised when he saw General Chaka's face.

"It's him."

"You know?" Shen You asked.

"Not really." Cullen's expression was a little complicated, "I only worked together during the First Apocalypse War. I didn't like him at the time because I heard about his private life. The personal style was not very good"

Karen sighed, rubbed the bridge of his nose, and said gloomily.

Well, he's a respectable warrior anyway. It looks like we have one less acquaintance. ”

"It's going to be fine, Karen." Helena patted her shoulder and comforted her good friends, "We will win." In the end, all the sacrifices will be worth it. ”

"Maybe."

Cullen took a deep breath and looked at his two companions.

"So what do we do now?"

The three looked at each other.

The news of the Giants of Light's appearance quickly spread across the globe and caused a huge sensation. There are different opinions about the true body of the giant.

Statements similar to the myth of salvation have naturally emerged among the people of Earth2 facing the end times. Many people believe that this is the embodiment of the legendary God. The suffering that this world has endured so far is part of the experience, and the rest of their humanity has survived the experience before finally waiting for the legendary God.

Of course, there are also a few people's opinions, and many more people are still skeptical.

The world has been through so much that the survivors have learned not to make overly optimistic assumptions.

Interestingly, Apocalypse was steadily advancing its conquest of this world, and the human side was defeated again and again. But after the events of the Battle of Gotham, the armies of the Apocalypse around the world suddenly disappeared temporarily.

No one knows where the invaders have gone, and it seems that the war has suddenly been put on hold. But neither the military nor experts are optimistic, and most are inclined to believe that this is just the calm before the storm.

Maybe the enemy is just preparing for a big wave. The next time they show up, it's going to be even more violent than every time they've been before.

No one notices that it was during this period that a new coffee shop quietly appeared on the streets of the metropolis.

The signboard of "HISHE" was hung.

Helena, who returns to Earth 2, is fortunate to find that even after the end of the world, her family's Wayne Group is still standing. This provides her with a pretty good convenience.

Now that Batman is dead, Helena Wayne is the sole heir to the family business. Helena, who became a billionaire again, got them a new place to settle down within two days, and Shen You hung up the "HISHE" sign, so it became a branch of their café.

It's just that even Shen You himself didn't expect that the first time he opened a branch was actually on the earth next door. I don't know if this will be a harbinger that my own HISHE will bloom everywhere in the multiverse in the future and become the world's No. 1 chain brand.

The first step is to gain a foothold and gather intelligence.

Ever since he heard that Earth 2 was a parallel world that was about to end and full of despair, Shen You's mind became active.

On the one hand, there is an occupational disease, as if Superman reflexively picks up a shirt and phone booth combo every time he hears a volcanic earthquake, "It sounds like Superman's work. JPG", and every time Ultraman hears that there is such a dark place, he has the urge to "my light is already moving".

On the other hand, if this world can be saved, Shen You estimates that the bonus of light will definitely be much stronger than the main world.

First of all, we need to understand what the current situation is like on Earth 2.

The metropolis here also feels a little different. Shen You walked on the street, he could see a lot of familiar buildings, but there was always a lack of familiarity. The street feels even more dreary, with pedestrians always bowing their heads, wrapping their scarves and lowering the brims of their hats, hurrying around, but not knowing what they are busy with.

He noticed a homeless man on the street carrying a sign that read "The End is Coming", with a yellow face and thin muscles, and he hadn't eaten seriously for a long time. There are newsboys selling newspapers on the side of the road, but there is a newsstand just a street away. In addition to newspapers, you can buy comic books and even very white and colored publications.

"A newspaper." Shen You walked to the newsstand.

The boss is bent his legs and immersed in the sea of holmes in a certain magazine, and the large-scale cover is facing the sidewalk, which has no intention of hiding it at all. He didn't even look up when he heard a customer, he just gestured to the coin jar next to him and asked him to pick it out at the stall.

"One serving of Seven World Coins." He said without looking up.

Shen You took out a few coins from his arms. It's a currency that hasn't been seen in the Overworld, and I've heard that it was newly issued after the Apocalypse War.

Earth2 is not the same as the Overworld. If it must be said that the continuous conquest of the Apocalypse Star has even the slightest benefit to human civilization, it may be that the human race, which has been fighting for thousands of years, has finally had to unite.

Although Earth 2 still has the concept of a country, it has been very vague under the perennial war against aliens. In order to resist the invaders, mankind established the World Federation, and the army was also united, collectively known as the "World Army".

Currencies are also unified under the joint establishment. Although the ontology currency in some regions has not completely disappeared, the world currency has basically become the mainstream currency of Earth 2.

When he learned about these changes, Shen You couldn't help but sigh a little.

Perhaps only when such a powerful foreign enemy invades, and only in the face of the crisis of the life and death of civilization, can mankind truly put aside its prejudices and unite.

Shen You flipped through the newsstand casually twice. Nowadays, there don't seem to be many newspapers in the metropolis, and there are only a few options to come and go.

He glanced at it, looked up and asked, "No 'Planet Daily'?" ”

Hearing this, the boss finally looked up from the malnourishing magazine. He looked at Shen You with a strange expression.

"Huh? You're kidding? He said strangely, "What age is that old calendar?" The Planet Daily is long over. ”

"It's over?"

"yes. Brother, you're coming to the Met for the first time after the war, right? The boss pointed in a certain direction, "There used to be a daily planet, and it was over there. But it was destroyed as early as the first Apocalypse Invasion, which was the first target of the alien invasion of Metropolis.

Superman's girlfriend, that Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, Louise Lane, was in that building at the time. Superman didn't make it in time. You didn't see how angry the big guy was at the time, I've never seen him like that in my life in the Met."

The boss sighed.

"Alas, it's all in the past, and there's nothing to say. Anyway, everyone knew about it later, and even Superman died. And the aggressors are back . Who knows what the future holds? ”

He shook his head and spread the magazine back open, as if only a pimple could make him feel the only trace of warmth in this cold world.

Shen You paid, took the newspaper, and glanced in the direction he was pointing.

He did see what had once been the site of the daily planet.

The building is no longer there, but the planetary ornaments that appear to have fallen from the top of the building when the invasion broke out are still on the ground. A plaza was built around the area, with a statue of Superman and a huge monument filled with the names of the victims.

On the top line, two names are clearly written that he is not unfamiliar with.

Clark Kent, Louise Lane.

The world's greatest journalists are buried here.
