at the same time.
Shangjing City.
Dozens of ghosts surrounded the base of the city wall, wandering aimlessly.
As if there is some attraction, more and more ghosts gather from a distance, as if they smell the smell of blood.
And in the air, in addition to the ghostly energy, there is also a trace of strange energy, which seems to be able to trigger the darkest side of people's hearts.
In the city, in a certain bungalow area, a corpse that died at an unknown time suddenly opened its eyes and stood up in confusion.
His body was completely decomposed, and the bowels in his body could even be seen moving.
Maggots were crawling all over his body.
And the corpse opened the door, walked out of the room, and gently knocked on the door next door.
After no one responded, the corpse walked crookedly away. Because of the severe decomposition of the corpse, one of its legs fell off after just a few steps.
The corpse picked up the legs, inserted them into his body casually, and continued walking away.
Just on the street next to the body is a civilian reserve.
At this time...
Energy flickered in the air, and after a flash of red light, the corpse broke into two pieces.
Yang Chen stood on the street with a pale face, breathing heavily.
Several young people who had just awakened skillfully took out a body bag made of gold and put the body that had been broken into two parts into it.
"More and more?"
Yang Chen gritted his teeth, forcibly cheered up, and disappeared into the darkness with a few young people.
…
Similar scenes keep happening in Shangjing City, like mushrooms after a rain.
The old man guarding the city gate had already staggered up to the city wall at some point and leaned against the wall behind, trying to save every ounce of his energy.
"a bit more..."
"A little more..."
The old man used his only remaining arm to wipe the half of the spear in front of him and murmured to himself.
There was a hint of expectation and relief in his eyes.
At some point, three other old men appeared under the city wall, with the same old age and the same broken limbs.
Several young people supported them with red eyes and tried hard to help them stand up straight.
No one spoke the whole time.
They were all lining up silently, waiting for that moment to come.
finally...
A pair of severed legs exuding a terrifying aura appeared in the direction of the city gate, with the two arms on the legs waving continuously.
In the palms of those hands were two eyes, emitting evil light.
"I'm coming."
The old man on the city wall, at this moment, his body became upright, like a spear, exuding endless vigor!
This sharp energy pierces the sky!
The half of the spear was firmly held in his hand.
The severed arms, legs, eyebrows, heart, and eyes all emitted a strong light at the same time.
Several young people under the city wall lowered their heads at the same time, holding back the tears in their eyes, and their bodies trembled silently.
"The false five senses...are also the five senses!"
Looking at the ghost under the city wall, this old man does not have the gentleness and charity he used to face humans, but is filled with a cold and cold light!
Whispering softly, the old man floated in the air.
"The human race will never be destroyed!"
"The light lasts forever!"
This old voice kept echoing over the entire city.
then...
The five rays of light in his body were all gathered on his dantian at this moment, and the light was even more dazzling!
In this darkness, it can bring endless light to people.
as...
A blazing sun!
"I, Lin Junxi, will die today!"
The old voice was full of heroism. As the voice fell, the old man was like a burning meteorite, falling outside the city wall in the center of many ghosts.
Face that pair of broken legs!
Then...
The roar sounded!
The terrifying energy exploded into a bottomless pit on the ground!
Many ghosts melted like ice and snow and disappeared completely...
No healing, no regeneration.
Destruction in the true sense of the word!
The legs were now covered with wounds, and only the skeleton of one leg remained!
One of the arms on the leg was also completely broken!
The eyes on the remaining arm were filled with fear and the joy of surviving the disaster.
He turned around and fled in embarrassment, the aura on his body was much weaker, even worse than many ghost generals!
"Old Lin is lucky to take the first step."
Under the city wall, the old man at the front of the queue smiled widely. One of his eyes was missing and one of his legs was missing. He needed help.
"Old man, it's my turn."
As he spoke, he looked gently at the young man supporting him.
"Child, come back."
"I want to walk the last part of the road by myself."
The old man's voice was full of kindness. Under the eyes of several other old men, he stubbornly took out a wooden stick, supported his broken leg, and walked up the stone steps to the city wall.
The young man knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the old man three times, turned and left!
he...
There is also work to be done!
These old people, for the sake of the human race, forcefully filled their bodies with energy and endured the bone-piercing pain every day.
Just for...this moment!
Even if they die, they don't dare to leave a whole corpse for themselves, for fear of becoming the body of a ghost.
The old man stood on the city wall, looked at the white spear, and sighed.
"After all, are you still not willing to let it go with you?"
As he spoke, the old man leaned against the spot where Lin Junxi had been leaning before and placed his wooden stick next to the spear.
And myself...
Then he closed his eyes and waited silently.
…
Day group, conference room!
On the big screen, the scene above the city wall was reflected. Countless superpowers watched this scene in silence.
"Does it hurt?"
"Are you sad?"
"Put away your weak hearts. The security we have now is the result of the blood of the older generation!"
"Instead of shedding tears like trash here, do what you should do!"
"Make yourself stronger and work hard to improve your strength, even a little bit!"
"Only in this way will their sacrifices not be in vain!"
"Only in this way can the darkness be dispelled and the light spread across the earth!"
"Now, all, move!"
Zhang Ziliang's expression was cold, as if he was not affected by this scene at all, and he shouted coldly!
The superpowers were silent, glanced at Zhang Ziliang indifferently, and then left silently!
But no one saw that Zhang Ziliang's hands behind his back were scratched by nails, and blood was dripping down his palms!
"actually..."
"They are relieved..."
Li Xinghe looked at the screen, seeming to reminisce: "And...your efforts are actually no less than theirs..."
“And it’s more painful as time goes on.”
As he spoke, Li Xinghe turned his head and looked at Zhang Ziliang, with a somewhat complicated expression on his old face.
"This is the path I chose and has nothing to do with anyone else."
"And...I, Zhang Ziliang, don't need to explain to others what I do!"
Zhang Ziliang's voice was calm and he turned and left!
He... also has things he should do!
I just hope that Wang Ye's trip to the wasteland can bring good news as he expected.
