Witnessed hell.
There were blazing flames everywhere, and the ground was covered with twisted corpses burned into black coals.
Burnt and choking black smoke continued to pour in from the nasal cavity, and every time he took a breath, there was a burning pain in the lungs, causing the brown-haired boy to stop and couldn't help but cough violently.
The once magnificent and majestic building complex has been reduced to ruins, and now only small hills made of rubble and rubble are left.
"Help...get me out..."
"Wish Network...hurry...cure me...no! Don't!"
"Why does the wishing spell have no effect..."
Auditory hallucinations that did not exist in reality echoed in his ears. They were the last moans and murmurs of the dying people. Even though they had long since turned into corpses, these words were still deeply imprinted in his young mind.
Thick, dark blood coughed out in large mouthfuls as he coughed violently, falling into the ruins.
The high-temperature and scorching combustion environment, the ubiquitous high-energy radiation, and the poisonous smoke containing highly toxic substances have been squeezing his remaining physical strength and life, and this sudden violent cough became the last straw for the little boy. .
The sharp fragments tore through his clothes, and the red ruins burned by the flames stuck to his skin, leaving pieces of twisted burns.
But the little boy lying on the ground could no longer feel the pain.
It should be daytime now, but due to explosions and fires, a large amount of smoke and harmful gases rose into the sky on hot air currents, causing the entire sky to look gray. A few drops of cold liquid fell on Wei Gong, covering him with black ash and scratches. His childish little face made his almost lost consciousness clear up a little.
Is it raining?
The little boy opened his eyelids with difficulty, raised his right hand with all his strength and stretched it to the sky. He didn't know what the meaning of his action was. It might be to ask for help, or it might be to catch the illusion that appeared in front of him...
"Brother, big brother! We found someone here who is still alive!"
There was a distant voice in his ears that was hazy and erratic, but the little boy could feel the vitality of the owner of the voice.
Then a man broke into his field of vision and grabbed his little hand that was reaching toward the sky.
"The vital signs are weak. Hey, little guy, can you hear me? Do you still remember your name?"
"I..." the little boy hesitated. He didn't have much thinking ability left. Even recalling his own name required several seconds of thinking before he could vaguely remember it. "Wei...Gong... "
Hearing his answer, the man's face showed a smile, and he said strange words that he couldn't understand: "Wei Gong... what a good name, well, from today on, your surname will be Wei Gong, and your last name will be Shirou. "
Wei Gong saw light emitting from the man's hand, and then the light group transformed into something like a scabbard, and then was buried in his body.
…………
Seeing Wu Ming put the sleeping Wei Gong into the holding space to rest after Wu Ming finished the treatment, Elizabeth, who was holding her breath and cheering silently, breathed a sigh of relief: "Wow... finally saved..."
They walked all the way from the edge to the center of the explosion. Although many people were saved according to the life responses detected by the stealth detection plane, many more people died before being rescued.
The deaths of those people were weird. Not only were the victims suffocated by the poisonous smoke produced by burning materials, but there were also lumps of blackened carbon left by explosions and fires. There were also many... who didn't look like they had died here at all. Victims of fires and explosions.
They saw corpses with eyes wide open and faces full of terror that had been frightened to death. They saw corpses with only a thin layer of human skin left, as if their flesh, flesh and bones had been drained. They even saw themselves removing themselves. A strange corpse strangled to death.
"The closer you get to the center of the explosion, the fewer survivors..." Siegfried, who had scouted the surrounding area, slowly walked to Wu Ming, "Judging from the traces, the child escaped from a position close to the center. It’s incredible that I can get here alive because of my will to survive and luck..."
"After all, it is the fate of the protagonist. When he learns the essence of projection, he can duel with the great heroes of Greece." Wu Ming said strange words casually, "Morrie, have you figured out the problem all the way down here?"
He was referring to the issue of wishing and the wishing network being unavailable.
"I...I don't know..." Now unable to use the power of wishing at all, and unable to get any response when making wishes, Mori seemed a little at a loss. It was also the first time for him to experience such a situation that was beyond common sense - in addition to violating the general rules In addition to the principle of wishing, the wishing network is responsive to any wish. It is impossible not to respond to normal wishes...
But this impossible thing happened before his eyes. He could clearly feel the existence of the Wishing Network, he could feel that his wishes were actually conveyed to the Wishing Network, and he could feel every person who was saved by Wu Ming. The compatriots are all individuals who belong to the wishing network, and the wishes they made when they just returned to their home world also prove that the wishing network is indeed functioning normally.
But the Wishing Network just didn’t give any response.
Otherwise, this child would not have stumbled all the way here and been rescued by Wu Ming and others who happened to pass by. Instead, make a wish directly and rely on the power of the Internet to be rescued directly when a disaster occurs.
Otherwise, those compatriots who were already killed would not have died tragically. Because if there is no wish to commit suicide and end one's life, any individual in the wishing network will be given the first priority by the network to satisfy the survival instinct and stay alive.
But no matter what happened to him or those compatriots who were rescued or not rescued, judging from the various information obtained so far...
The Make-A-Wish network apparently failed to respond to any wishes during this disaster.
"I swear that in my perception, the wishing network is absolutely normal! The wishes made are indeed conveyed to the wishing network!" Mori said confidently, but soon his expression became tangled and confused again, "But …But I don’t know why, the Internet didn’t fulfill our wishes…”
Elizabeth looked at Morrie, who was doubting his life, and then looked at the direction of the center of the explosion: "Brother...where should we go next..."
"Go to the center." Wu Ming called up the picture returned by the stealth probe. "Although the center of the explosion has completely turned into a crater, there are still signs of activity of two life forms there, and they are in a state of war. One should He is the culprit that caused the current situation, the other one...the situation is a bit bad..."
After determining the target, Siegfried once again walked at the front, wielding the black iron sword and shoveling a path through the ruins, followed closely by Wu Ming, Elizabeth and Mori.
No one spoke any more along the way, and the atmosphere seemed a bit solemn. Soon they approached the crater area at the center of the explosion.
The rising flaming sun directly evaporated everything on the surface here, forming a large meteorite crater with a diameter of nearly one kilometer. Wu Ming and others came to the edge of the crater, and looked at the things inside the crater from the edge of the crater. .
In the crater, a huge, bloated monster was venting its emotions wantonly.
From a distance, the monster looked like a huge mountain of flesh piled up from countless animal corpses or body parts, and its body surface was always in a state of renewal that was constantly festering and regenerating. Every minute and every second, piles of rotten flesh and blood peel off and fall off from its body, and then new flesh and blood will grow out immediately.
Long whip tentacles composed of countless giant pythons and poisonous snakes intertwined with each other stretched out from the pile of meat, slapping around with thunderous force, stirring up a large amount of smoke and dust. In the smoke and dust, a figure could be vaguely seen. The figure is running away in embarrassment.
A crack opened halfway up the mountain, revealing two rows of sharp teeth composed of the sharp horns of countless animals, revealing a sharp laugh, just like a cat teasing a mouse, and stretched out several more A giant python tentacle, without giving the figure any time to breathe or stay, swatted towards him step by step...
"This is... the mother body of disaster..."
