Chapter 87 Leaving the Surface

This theater used to be the place I longed for. Before the era of destruction, I always hoped that one day I could enter this theater or even stand on that stage, but hope is just hope after all. I have a clear understanding of my physical condition.It is impossible for me to become an idol and stand on the stage, so I can only watch them from a distance, across the screen and across the East China Sea, hoping that she will be fine in the end.

If I could find some of them who survived, I would be happy to take them off the surface to the Sky Tower, but the life sensor did not find any signs of living people nearby, and Akihabara fell into a terrible silence, among the ruins There is no visible living thing, and even the birds have been completely wiped out of the sky.

Probably, I'm not the only one who thinks this way.

I looked at the ground under my feet. The ground was sand. The concrete and tiled ground turned into fine sand for some reason. I knelt down and spread my palms on the sand. I closed my eyes and carefully felt the energy from the ground.The chosen ones who received energy fragments from the earth god Gaia protected this small world before our arrival.

I look around, there are still some undamaged vehicles but my abilities don't work against anything other than weapons and there's no way to get them to help me move.If possible, I hope that at least this theater will not be buried by the wind and snow. This is my selfishness, and it is also the hope of the strong man who sleeps at our feet.However, I have overused the ability before, so I don't know if I still have the ability to protect it.

We stayed in Akihabara for a few hours, and the theater was completely surrounded by flames. This was a flame of about 27 degrees. The fire supported an independent world outside the theater building. Even if we left this world, the theater would still be there. Surrounded by Baidu's flames, it was protected for at least a year.My abilities can be enhanced by soul-resonant life-sharing with nearby gods, as can those of gods, who can also enhance or extend their elemental abilities through my presence.The sphere of flames kept a distance of half a kilometer from the building, and the temperature inside the building was about [-] degrees Celsius. If anyone could get into the fire net by chance, at least he would not be frozen to death.After leaving the building, I thought it was wrong, so I asked Xue Ling to open a door that could be three meters long, wide and high in the fireball, so that if any survivors followed the flames to find this place, they could enter the fire-protected place. world.

Even if we leave the surface, the flame will continue to exist. The flame of the Dragon King will not be extinguished by the melting ice and snow, but it can only last for one year, at most three years. If the temperature does not rise after three years but continues to drop, there is nothing we can do. .But it doesn't matter, the contractors sleeping underground should have saved some people, and I can sense the life reaction of the underground city group.Japan has the world's largest underground city system, and living underground in order to avoid nuclear winter may not be such a bad thing for them.

After doing everything I could do, I looked at Xue Ling, she smiled and patted my head, the buttons on her chest shot out in red light and turned into a flying dragon.

After spending too much time in the ruins of Tokyo, it was already late at night when we returned to the foot of the Sky Tower.The outside world started to snow again, this time the flying dragon opened its mouth to the sky and swept out a hot red light, piercing a hole in the clouds, winning a few more clear hours for the next time.The limited time is coming, and it will never be too late for the chosen girls to enter the Sky Tower, and for those ordinary people, this is their last chance.In the last hour, many people entered the Sky Tower. They did not want to go up with the army and immigrants. They just wanted to rely on the rule that the physical fitness in the tower should always be at least sub-peak in the bottom few floors. Waiting for the wind and snow outside to end.Shangguanhui's suggestion to them was to put an alcohol thermometer at the entrance of the tower, and when the temperature returned to [-] degrees Celsius and stabilized, the people in the tower could return to the surface.

When leaving, Xue Ling gave the remaining people a piece of scarlet dragon scale, telling them that in the underground network, this piece of dragon scale can be turned into a fire that will not be extinguished within ten years.There are ominous preconceptions churning in my heart, no matter whether the button turns into a flying dragon or the dragon scale turns into a kindling seed, it doesn’t look like Xue Ling, whoever I have to say...

So in the last 10 minutes of my departure I pulled Xueling behind a half-collapsed house.

"May I ask you something?"

"Don't use honorifics to me, I don't like it."

"Don't devour her. I can continue to be by your side, and you can treat me whatever you want, but please leave at least a sliver of her consciousness."

Xue Ling's exquisite smile briefly shattered, her voice was still so sweet, but there was obvious panic in her eyes.

"What is Xiaoyu talking about? Why did it become so strange all of a sudden?"

I shook my head and looked at her. After a few seconds of confrontation, I rushed to hug her and raised my head to kiss her lips.Xue Ling, or Dragon King Agulas didn't expect me to come out like this, but since I offer a kiss, she will definitely not refuse.During the kiss, I maximized the ability that I had never used before regardless of my own endurance, translucent energy flowed around us.

"Xiaoyu, this is..."

"I don't want to lose my sister, even if the reborn god will completely inherit the memory and emotions of the original owner of the body, I don't want to lose my sister, so I can only do this. I don't know how long it can last, but at least face you at this time , I can still suppress it. Aigolas, even if I inherit my sister’s feelings and memories, I know that you are not her. When one day you replace her, I can feel it. I can continue to stay by your side , My sister’s consciousness can also serve as a chain that binds me, so please don’t push me to the side of the metal god Belis.”

The more frequently the fire elemental power is used, the faster the dragon king will awaken. If Xue Ling can fight from now on without using the elemental power and relying solely on the dragon-formed body, the dragon king will never be able to awaken, and her consciousness will not be absorbed.What would I do if that kind of thing happened?Flee to the metal god and ask her to avenge me?This possibility is very high, Liu Pin... Bailis will not refuse my request. To her, it doesn't matter whether the Dragon King or Zheng Xueling is. Eliminating this guy with Xueling's body can cut off my desire to leave her.

"Xiao Yu is really headstrong, relying on her own guesses to let me sleep peacefully. There is no way, who made you my woman, even if you are so willful, I have no choice but to pamper you." Xue Ling's embrace was still so warm , her hands on my shoulders gently lifted my long hair, and then made me the promise I prayed for.

"Zheng Xueling's consciousness will not disappear. Most of Xiao Yu's guesses are correct, and the method of god's rebirth is basically the same as Xiao Yu's guess, but not all. Xiao Yu still remembers that the God of Plague said to be your daughter? The most important thing is that there is no way to realize this kind of thing by rebirth without purpose and randomness. But it is still too early to tell Xiaoyu about this matter. It doesn't matter if Xiaoyu doesn't know, everything will surface when the final battle with the planner. This is the first time Xiaoyu has used the additional ability of listening to everything, the ability to comfort. Xiaoyu has consumed too much life in the past month, so she is not allowed to use the ability anymore."

I smiled with tears in my eyes, and now it was my lover Zheng Xueling who was talking to me, and it was no longer the Dragon King Aigolas who hadn't fully woken up.

The deadline has also come. I told them before that if I failed to enter the Sky Tower in the last time, it means that I still have something to do. I asked them to wait for me on the fourth floor, so only Shangguanhui came out to see if we are Not still, I shook my head and went back after getting the reply that I would wait another hour and ask them to go to the fourth floor first.What are we going to do on the surface during this hour?To be honest, I just want to see more of the buildings on the surface, these people, and the flags of various countries that are frozen hard by the ice and snow before leaving.I was in a daze for a few minutes, and a few snowflakes fell on me. I looked up at the sky, and the black cloud pierced by the light beam had returned to its original state at some point.

There was great panic among the crowd, and many people who had been resolute before leaving began to regret their decision to rush to the Sky Tower in the face of the fact that the blizzard had rained again in just half an hour, but the entrance of the tower was blocked by a layer of light. No matter how hard you try, you will be blocked by the light.

The surrounding wind is stronger, the temperature is lower, and a wave of terrifying cold air is coming.Xue Ling issued a warning, and some people turned around and ran towards the underground network, but more people desperately slapped the materialized light at the entrance of the Sky Tower, crying and begging for a miracle to come.The cold air is getting closer and closer, and Xue Ling, who was asked by me to never use the power of the fire element, had to pick me up and fly to the sky tower, pass through the light and stand in the tower watching these desperate people. Giving these people false hope, they sprint forward desperately to get in, but it is an effort doomed to failure.

The cold air finally arrived, and everyone outside the tower froze into ice within ten seconds.

"Xiaoyu, let's go. We have done everything we can, and the rest is the hard work of these people. In fact, we can also think of a better place. The underground network we built is only enough for 3 people to live for a year. , This wave of cold air killed more than 10 people at one time, which can reduce the survival pressure of the survivors hiding underground."

Facing Xue Ling's comfort, I could only smile wryly, I wanted to cry, but there were no tears.

Reduce stress for survivors?There are nearly 3 people in an underground network shelter with a reasonable capacity of 50 people. The food is only enough for them to consume for a month at most. How can they survive after a month has passed?The outside environment is extremely unstable. Occasionally, when a hole appears in the black cloud, they can come out to find some food. More often, they can only hide underground and wait to pray that they will be given food.When the food is finally exhausted, human cannibalism is no longer a horrific tragedy but a future that will actually happen—order, ethics, morality, and law are all so pale and powerless in the face of survival.

But is it really possible to survive by doing that?Once a patient appears in an underground network shelter that lacks medicines, death is inevitable. If the dead become food for other hungry people, the disease may spread on a large scale, and eventually the entire underground shelter will be completely destroyed.

What can be done, we have done.The dead cannot be brought back to life, what we should do now is to go to the fourth floor and gather with the large forces, find a safe place in the tower to resettle the people, and then the army willing to participate in the war against the metal god will pass through the Sky Tower to the Cloud Continent, and defeat The metal gods went to find the so-called final answer.
