Chapter 1138 - 583: Tears and Light (Part 2)
It's the same everywhere.
Bang!
The sound of a gunshot rang out, and behind the ruins of the rainstorm, a distorted face appeared, holding a gun, aimed at Ji Jue's face, shouting:
"Get out, Federation scum!"
In the muddy water, Ji Jue turned back, looked at him, expressionless.
The hands holding the gun were trembling, the makeshift gun he cobbled together, soaked by the rain, couldn't aim at all, and with the gunpowder wet, it might not even ignite.
Only the fear that couldn't be concealed and the hatred that couldn't be let go were in his eyes.
"Jia Kongzhu, he's here to save people," said a disheveled woman softly.
"Save people? Do Federation scum really have such good intentions?"
Jia Kongzhu's expression became even more twisted, scowling: "If it weren't for these Federation dogs and Empire dogs, how would we have fallen to this extent, saving people?
Wasn't it them who pushed us into Hell!
Get out!
Get lost, we don't need you here!"
Ji Jue didn't answer, silently walked over, tilted his head, dodged the bullet flying out of the gun barrel, then reached out his hand and pressed it on the top of the ruins.
Material Enhancement, one touch and it split.
Barely braced the collapsing beam.
He looked back, took one last glance at the man, whose expression was still fierce, twitching as if he wanted to flee, but instinctively spread his arms, blocking Ji Jue, protecting the woman and child behind him.
"Take your wife and child to another place."
Ji Jue said, "This place is going to collapse."
He threw the last packet of medicine in his pocket into the man's arms.
He turned to leave.
The rumbling sound resounded once more, in the flood, the continuous sounds of collapse and destruction echoed from afar, spreading as if unending.
Not far away, amidst the swirling floods, countless shanties stacked together collapsed with a roar, pressing down on a dazed child in the ruins.
Boom!
The sharp cracks and wooden planks abruptly ceased, the figure of a beastly oxen raised its body suddenly, blocking in front of the child, firmly propping up the collapsing ruins.
The child looked back blankly, at the monster that was so close, unmoving.
As if, in a state of numbness.
Letting the falling bricks and debris land on him.
Even when Ji Jue reached out to pull him, the child still stood his ground, unwilling to leave.
Grasping tightly to a hand soaked white in the flood, its warmth long gone.
Holding tight, unwilling to let go.
"Mom..."
Those empty pupils looked at Ji Jue, repeating blankly: "Mom is underneath..."
Ji Jue was silent.
The arm the girl was holding onto had long been broken.
Under the collapsed ruins, there weren't any living people.
"..."
Ji Jue opened his mouth, wanting to speak, but nothing came out.
A flash of lightning suddenly crossed.
In a fleeting instant, it illuminated everything in the mud and torrent, broken bricks and shattered tiles, the broken white tower, the streets turned into ruins, and the flood rushing past.
For a moment, in the haze, it was as if he heard an illusionary children's song.
In the collapsing ruins, a mother embraced her curled-up child, bathed in the rain, lowered her head, singing softly and gently, so familiar.
But then, the ruins collapsed.
The song disappeared.
With the extinguishing lightning, it faded into the distance.
Only the belated thunder pierced the eardrums, buzzing incessantly.
Boom!!!
The sound of gunfire rang out again, one after another.
Among the rising floodwaters, on the pieces of broken wooden planks, those who drifted with the flow collided with each other, fighting for the scarce food and valuables among them.
Like desperate beasts, biting each other.
People scattered, running aimlessly, futilely moving forward, yet not knowing where they should head. Stumbling, they fell into the flood and vanished.
Groups of strong men guarded their only rooftops and high points, clutching knives, staring coldly at anyone who dared to approach.
But not long after, the rooftops collapsed in the flood.
Chaos spread like a tangible existence, in plunder and biting, the numbed wails and cries echoed continuously, then vanished.
Darkness, like an unseen mouth, slowly and meticulously consumed everything within its grasp.
And in the distance, at the entrance of the city, after another round of continuous gunfire, an excavator equipped with a scoop slowly pushed forward. Pushing everything left on the ground, the dead, the living, the wailing, the pleading, into the floodwaters below.
The rain kept falling, washing away the last trace of crimson on the ground, no longer seen...
Only in the rolling torrents, a shocking red began to emerge.
From the sky fell tears, on the earth flowed blood.
Forward is a dead end, backward is also a dead end.
Hell is everywhere, and there is no escape.
"..."
In the mud and torrent, Ji Jue raised his head, looked at the sky, once again, saw the flash of lightning crossing.
Soon after, the sound of thunder roared and spread, unending.
Bolts of lightning dropped from the sky, flickering continuously, tearing the veil of rain, the fierce light like blades, not cutting through the darkness but stinging too many eyes.
Disaster is stirring, becoming increasingly violent.
He received a message from the meteorological satellite...
The White Deer Typhoon, the speed has increased once again, in just a few hours, it has officially made landfall from the east of Tower City!
From outer space looking down, that massive and hideous cyclone, carrying immense moisture, was like a raging monster, inch by inch, writhing, crawling across the wilderness, ravaging forward.
