0544 Chapter Twelve: The Not Eternal Dusk (Section 11)
"Dang-dang-dang-dang..."
Before Gretel finished speaking, he heard the dull ringing of a bell in the distance.
The eyes of the refugees hiding from the rain in various parts of the dilapidated town projected fear from their souls.
They each took out their weapons and tried to build a crossfire network under each other's cover. However, the insurmountable heavy rain eventually blocked most people's shooting horizons and escape channels.
Human beings are like turtles in a urn.
Suddenly, gunshots began to sound in the distance.
What followed was the scream of human beings dying.
A praying mantis first appeared in Zhen Cheng's field of vision. It moved very fast, had three heads, and swung six majestic swords on its arms, looking as ferocious and powerful as the Hindu god Mahakala.
What's even more exaggerated is that this thing has a body shape of two stories high, which is comparable to the planet's ancient overlord Tyrannosaurus Rex.
With a twist that was as seamless as a martial arts move, the three refugees who were hiding together and shooting were cut into two pieces.
With the visual speed of Zhen Cheng, who is now a goddess, she can even see that the three people were chopped off by three different arms of the mantis in its rotation.
What followed was a rhinoceros that was as huge as a tank and its carapace was harder than the armor plate. Tens of thousands of legs were densely covered with its body, dragging its terrifying weight and charging at an alarming speed.
boom!
With a loud bang, a relatively intact brick wall was easily crushed down.
And behind this beetle, there are countless insect legions at a glance.
In other words, an army of mutated beasts that can barely see the characteristics of insects.
A cockroach with twelve pairs of wings, like an angel descending into the world; a mosquito with a body like a hedgehog, its mouthparts protruding densely in all directions; a fly with one half of its body rotting and bleeding, while the other half exudes a metallic luster...
The strange rain gave these insects at the bottom of the food chain the opportunity to become their masters. In the rain, they fell into a lawless carnival.
In the rain, they are the masters of the doomsday wasteland.
Zhen Cheng was still surprised at first. Even if there were no repairs, half a century would not have caused humanity's reinforced concrete jungle to become so dilapidated.
It wasn't until she saw the real culprit that she put aside her doubts.
But the doomsday scene in front of her still confused Zhen Cheng:
"Have you been here like this for decades?"
This is not common sense. If humans are so miserable, how did the largest settlement in this bullshit survive?
I'm afraid that within two or three rains, humankind will become extinct. Could it be that this wasteland world only rains once every few decades?
"No... they... also know that the darkness is coming back..." Gretel, a resolute man, could not stop trembling at this time.
Four or five generations of inheritance have engraved the fear of mutant insects deep into our genes:
"Usually rain only attracts two or three bugs near where we stay. But this time... they are also migrating, taking the same route as us, escaping from the returning darkness..."
So these bugs have nothing to do with darkness? Are they completely soaked in the water of eternal life and become like this?
In this way, Zhen Cheng finally understood.
Looking at the end of the broken formation, more and more tall figures were approaching, Justice frowned and was about to draw her sword.
"Senior!" Zhen Cheng's voice stopped her hand from drawing the sword.
Justice turned her head in confusion. If Zhen Cheng stopped her from saving people at this time, the senior sister would be very, very unhappy.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he saw Zhen Cheng just smiling and extending his hand, saying: "Senior, please take advantage of the misfortune."
Justice knew clearly that the fake she had imitated in class had appeared in Zhen Cheng's hands in the blink of an eye.
Justice became serious. It was the difference in the flow rate of time that created this effect. In the blink of an eye, the senior sister had already entered the insect swarm.
Under Gretel's confused gaze, Zhen Cheng smiled and said nothing. His hands sometimes plucked and sometimes slapped the strings, and began to play simple music on the umbrella harp.
The melody was improvised. After seeing her senior sister play it once, Zhen Cheng roughly learned how to play the umbrella qin.
There is such an easy way to step into the extraordinary goddess with the direction of your mind.
Jumping up gently, Zhen Cheng used the power of the fifth-dimensional law he had just learned to regard everything around him as the true name of words, stepping on the object named "Qi", giving it the attribute of "hardness", and rising step by step.
Different paths of sublimation interfere with the laws of events in different ways. Although it is difficult for the Yanling Path to use strength to create skill and is unbreakable by specializing in one area, it has the reputation of being able to decipher all things in the world and has the ability to manipulate everything.
The weakness of the law.
Just like this, while playing the umbrella harp and stepping in the air, Zhen Cheng stood on the broken edge of the second-floor roof of the small building. She attracted the attention of a large number of refugees around her, and sang while playing the harp in the rain:
"In the old days, I missed my hometown road, but I returned to my destiny by chance."
As soon as the song came out, the pouring rain seemed to stop. Not only did the humans fighting for survival forget to shoot, but even the giant insects that were killing people stopped for a moment.
"Goodbye Mandala, a trace of sand."
Smoke suddenly rose, and humans and insects were instantly strangled into a mass.
It's just that human firearms can only temporarily slow down the attack of insects, but those huge mutated insects only need to tear down human shelters to shelter humans from the rain, and they can plunge humans into catastrophe.
"Time is no match for a sword, and it is as hard to defeat a sickle as lightning."
With a flash of sword light, the mighty six-armed mantis suddenly turned into a pool of slime.
It was not cut by the sword, but the moment the sword light flashed, it was strafed by a dense barrage of human fire for a full five minutes.
Such a long-lasting attack broke out instantly, and even the carapace of the Rhinoceros tank on the side collapsed, and flesh and blood flew everywhere.
On the other side, Elogensi watched in surprise as the invisible blood scythe she summoned rolled through the insect swarm like lightning.
Even though she had devoured some of Euripides' characteristics, her original fighting method did not allow the Blood Scythe to slash across such a large area at high speed.
"Insects still want to live, so what?"
When the song ended, the mutated insects that survived the sword light and blood sickle lost their lives in an instant.
Their bodies are so complete, as if they have not suffered any damage, but at a higher dimension, there is no consciousness or soul to guide their actions.
This is the power of the goddess.
"What happened?" The people who had narrowly escaped death looked at the insect corpses everywhere in panic.
"What did you do?" Gretel stood at the door of the house, looking fearfully and piously at the lonely figure in Hanfu on the independent ruins.
"Great job!" Justice turned around and gave Zhen Cheng a thumbs up, showing an innocent smile like a child.
As for Ai Luogensi, she was so excited that she immediately flew behind Zhen Cheng and hugged her tightly from behind.
