Even though a great cleanup operation has been launched to revive mankind, the zombies that exude stench and have no meaning in existence still occupy the largest area in the decaying old world.
Human civilization was almost extinct. Under the blessing of the gods, the only fire was preserved in the magical land in the east, and was continuously spread westward by the messengers of the gods, igniting fierce flames that could start a prairie fire. At the same time, it also caused
The flames of civilization are rekindled in those places of decay.
And in that most prosperous new sacred place, it has now become famous and is known as the Holy City.
The Holy City is huge, with a total of five million people living here. Everything is the same as before the disaster. There are even no city walls visible here, which should be unique in this rotten world.
The city is extremely lively, and the streets and alleys are full of smiling people. Even though many of them are thin and ragged, their eyes are not numb or hesitant. This is an expression of hope and belief. In this holy city
You can see so much in it.
Abandoned oil fields were recaptured; dilapidated old cities were emptied out, and useful instruments and equipment were hauled out for repair and use; broken cars, machinery, and metal products that could be seen everywhere were collected and resmelted...
Everything is slowly improving towards the original human living environment.
Hospitals have been re-established, schools have reopened, various factories and breeding industries have also come to life, and life seems to be getting more and more enjoyable.
It seems that there is a celebration in the city. Both sides of the street are full of festive red, some are made of red cloth and some are red silk. If these luxurious things are not available, figures are carved out of wooden boards painted red and placed at the door of the house or hung at the door.
Everyone here is smiling and smiling. Not only that, everyone's eyes are also full of a rather fanatical look, and from time to time they look towards the tallest nine-story tower in the city.
The nine-story tower, each floor is nine meters high, totaling 81 meters. It is huge and majestic. It was built more than ten years ago during the most decadent period in the world. The waste of resources is appalling, but no one thinks there is any point in building such a tower.
What's wrong is that some excited people think that this tower is too small and too short to deserve its name: Yama Tower.
Inside the pagoda is a gilded statue of a god, which is sixty-nine meters high including the base. Standing in the pagoda is like a miracle and everyone who sees it is shocked.
The resources for building the tower were donated by believers, and the statues were put together bit by bit by believers and then erected. Of course, the Unique Religion played a very positive role in this. It is precisely because of this statue that this statue is built.
The city was called the "Holy City".
Today's celebration is the "Netherworld Festival". It is said that on this day, the door to the underworld will be opened, and all the offerings in the world can be received by Lord Yama who lives in the netherworld without missing a beat. This is also the first human event after the decay of the world.
a holiday.
The authenticity of this legend is meaningless. Even Zhao Quan, Li Sirui, and Fan Mingkai, who are known as the envoys of the gods, laughed at the "origin" of the Netherworld Festival. There is nothing real in it, it is all made up.
.The only reason why they don’t expose it is just because people really need a festival that everyone agrees with to find a cathartic point to rekindle hope.
The three Zhao Quan brothers still remember the frantic scene when the first "Netherworld Festival" was held, which was hysterical and extremely crazy. Although the subsequent festivals were also crazy, they were far less violent than the first Netherworld Festival.
This is already the twelfth Netherworld Festival. Zhao Quan is thirty-six years old, and the third child, Li Sirui, is also thirty-two years old. More than twenty years have passed since they last saw Lord Yama.
In more than 20 years, the three brothers reached as far as the English Channel, and then turned back. Their footprints were almost all over the Eurasian continent. The two accompanying women also died and fell ill when they arrived at the English Channel.
Even those who practice martial arts cannot escape the vicious clutches of the disease. They could have relied on genetic medicine to prolong their lives, but the two women refused, saying that they were a disabled body and should have died long ago. The hope of seeing the end of this apocalypse was ignited.
I am already satisfied and willing to die and return to the embrace of the god Yama.
When they were in the English Channel, the three brothers were already mid-level Xiantian warriors. With the effect of the genetic potion, their combat power was very few that could threaten them. Of course, this was provided that they did not go to those big cities to fight with those seven
Grade special zombie hard steel.
But the three Zhao Quan brothers, who could almost do whatever they wanted in the world, almost lost their lives when they were preparing to cross the English Channel.
The land is full of dangers, the sky is full of unknown and terrifying creatures, and the sea is no exception, even more terrifying.
Think about what those huge sharks look like after being modified by the T virus, as well as those staggering numbers of sardines, and the largest whale in the world...
The three Zhao Quan brothers, who had returned with their lives, left the strait and returned to the inland, which lasted fifteen years. The three brothers' journey to spread the fire was written as the "Road of Fire" and was widely spread. Three
The thin and dull child was finally held up by the world at the feet of the gods and became the three living messengers of the gods of the only religion.
Perhaps due to their obsession, the three Zhao Quan brothers did not just sit back and enjoy the success. They really regarded themselves as divine envoys waiting to die. Instead, they remained true to their original intention and continued to travel around, helping to eliminate zombies and regain the city to harvest available resources.
The three Zhao Quan brothers only stay in the Holy City for two months a year to hold the scene for the Netherworld Festival celebrations. At the same time, they are treated as the highest-level clergy to receive the people. At the same time, they also have a good time with their families. After all, they are more than thirty years old.
Why are you still single at this age? It is normal to start a family and start a career. Moreover, they are angels with super high status and can be regarded as the top golden bachelors.
"The auspicious time has come, ring the bell!"
In the tower, the Pope of the only divine religion raised his voice and ordered to go down. Not long after, a big bell on the tower was rung. The sound was deep and pure, and it spread far away and could be heard throughout the Holy City. This meant that the celebration of the Netherworld Festival had officially begun.
A total of one hundred and twenty bells ring, indicating the official start of the twelfth celebration. After the bell is ringing, there will be a twelve-gun salute, followed by a city-wide parade led by clergy and other celebration activities. The entire event will last for a long time.
For three days, believers from various resurrected cities will come to make pilgrimages, and each major city will also have its own Netherworld Festival activities.
When the bell rang, people stood facing the Yama Pagoda with devout expressions, chanting the dogma of the only god, while thinking about the god Yama in their hearts, praying to the god for the future as well as the present.
When the bell rang for the last time, the salute was about to go off, but suddenly large dark clouds appeared in the sky, turning the originally sunny and clear scene into a gloomy atmosphere in the blink of an eye. Then a huge void suddenly appeared high in the sky.
