Chapter 715 The End
The streets of the past have become ruins.
Countless lives have become nutrients for tree roots.
That day, a day that no one will ever forget.
August 5th.
On an ordinary afternoon, four hundred and fifty rifts appeared around the world and were instantly activated, and the first creatures to emerge from them were not monsters.
But the roots of the tree.
These tree roots destroyed the city, occupied the streets, swirled and tangled, turning the entire steel city into a suffocating and desperate scene.
Human weapons are unable to destroy these thick roots.
And they continued to grow, and the branches growing from the roots began to attack humans and aliens.
One after another, the special management bureaus began to fall.
These monsters born from the fruit initially resembled deformed and twisted beasts.
Then it will gradually evolve while fighting with more and more aliens and human armies. The stronger your power is, the faster it will evolve and the more fruits it will produce.
In just three months, the entire world has been shrouded in the shadow of these roots.
The towering tree growing on the nuclear reactor of the Special Management Bureau in Area 91 also covered the sky above, and its branches and leaves continued to extend, as if to cover the entire world.
The resistance of the Huaxia Special Management Bureau was the most intense, but it was also the area where the monsters attacked most intensively and frequently.
Li Muhan climbed over the ruined high-rise building and squatted carefully among the rubble, staring at the three-story twisted monster.
"Team Seven, Li Muhan, is in position. In Tianhai City, District D8, a rift creature has been sighted. Level... Catastrophic."
Disaster level.
This level of aliens always makes people feel scared.
But now, in just half a year, the world is already filled with disaster-level rift creatures.
Li Muhan slowly raised his head and looked at the top of the giant TV tower that Tianhai City was once proud of.
The huge blue dragon had been dead for a long time. A month ago, a huge crack appeared in the ruins of the Tianhai City TV Tower. Venerable Yulong's body circled the giant tower, guarding the crack. Finally, he used his own soul to imprison the giant tower and block the crack space.
Prevent those monsters and tree roots from breaking through.
"The specific area...the place where the Azure Dragon fell."
Li Muhan slowly stood up.
He ripped open his collar and placed one foot on the edge of the building.
"No support needed."
The next second, golden lightning flashed in his eyes, and the black bracelet in his hand turned into arm armor, and the Demon-Suppressing General was held in his hand.
Then, his entire skin was slowly covered by a layer of black ink, with golden runes shining in it.
"Realm, Thundering Abyss."
......
When the huge monster fell to the ground with a bang, Li Muhan stepped on its body and inserted the Demon-Suppressing Sword into its chest. With a crisp sound, the monster's body slowly turned into dust and dissipated in the sky and earth.
Li Muhan was breathing slightly.
There were several more holes in his clothes.
It was obvious that at the beginning, these monsters were vulnerable to his own power.
In just half a year, they have evolved to this level.
"No matter how many we kill... we can't keep up with the speed at which they are born..."
Li Muhan raised his head and looked at the sky above his head which was covered by black leaves. The gold in his eyes became even brighter.
"That's enough..."
Fu Jiang Zhenmo slowly pointed to the sky.
"Since that day, one by one, you've taken those I love from me. Enough is enough..."
Soon, a voice came from his headphones.
【Come back, Li Muhan, it's almost time. 】
Li Muhan said "hmm" and his body slowly lost its demonic form.
Within the original subway line, the original entrance to the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau, the bank building, has been destroyed.
This is the only entrance.
The guard at the door saluted after seeing Li Muhan.
Li Muhan no longer wants to remember anyone's face.
In the past six months, just in these six months, everything that I once cherished and wanted to protect died one by one in front of me.
He didn't want to remember anyone anymore.
"......tutor."
Lu Yunxue walked to Li Muhan's side.
Her eyes were dull and her rims were slightly red.
"Zhou Yichen..."
Li Muhan spoke slowly, his voice a little hoarse.
Lu Yunxue slowly shook her head, tears streaming down her cheeks.
"..." Li Muhan really wanted to become numb. How many people would have to leave before he became numb?
"sorry......"
He couldn't remember how many times he had said sorry.
Lu Yunxue shook her head without saying a word.
Li Muhan continued to move forward.
Everything here is no longer the same as it used to be.
There is no receptionist at the front desk anymore, quite simply, there are no more new visitors.
The size of the cafeteria has also shrunk significantly because they can no longer find so much food, and of course, there are not so many people who need to eat.
"Eat something."
Bai Ran stood at the door of the cafeteria, as if she had been waiting for Li Muhan for a long time, holding a bowl of hot porridge in her hand.
"...You eat first, I'm not hungry."
Li Muhan said expressionlessly.
"...Sister Yueli said before she left...If there is one last fool left in this world, it must be you, Li Muhan...She hopes you can take good care of yourself. We all hope..."
Bai Ran's eyes were slightly red.
She would never forget what happened to Yue Li and Team Six when they recklessly went out to rescue civilians that day.
That was the first time they faced a winged monster falling from the sky.
The monsters ruthlessly tore apart the bodies of humans and aliens. To them, there was no difference.
Yueli ultimately failed to return to the Special Management Bureau...
Subsequent personnel were unable to recover even her body.
Li Muhan took the hot porridge, took a big sip and gave it back to Bai Ran.
"Give it to others."
I may not be able to use it anymore.
Li Muhan didn't say this out loud, he didn't stop.
Passing through Cen Lin's office that would never be opened again, this poor old man no longer had to talk about retirement, he could rest forever.
She also passed through the engineering department. All of Mo Qiao's brothers and sisters died in a major repair. Now she is the only one left in the engineering department, and she has locked herself in there for nearly half a month.
No one knew whether the child was dead or alive.
At this moment, Li Muhan suddenly saw someone walking towards him.
"Good morning, Li Muhan."
That's Mengmeng.
No... isn't Mengmeng already dead?
Her power was also learned by those twisted monsters and became even stronger. Mengmeng eventually died in her own dream.
Crunch——
Li Muhan's head suddenly hurt.
He slowly squatted down against the wall.
"What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Mengmeng came to his side.
Reached out his hand to him.
Wait a minute... Mengmeng, my head hurts... Wait a minute, I'll grab your hand right away, don't go, don't go yet...
Crunch——
Another sharp pain.
The severe pain that involved his nerves made his eyes a little blurry.
Then a hand gently pressed down on his shoulder, helping him to steady himself.
Li Muhan slowly opened his eyes and then stretched out his hand towards Mengmeng.
"I'm much better, Meng..."
But there was no one in front of him...
“Mengmeng…?”
Li Muhan stood up and looked around, but still no one answered.
[Headache again?]
Baal's voice came slowly.
"Well, it's been happening more and more recently. I've been seeing hallucinations, seeing people who...are dead."
【concentrated】
"I know that today... everything will end."
Li Muhan took a deep breath and then walked towards Lin Ze's office.
"Director Lin."
Li Muhan pushed open the door and saw Lin Ze sitting on a chair wearing a worn coat from the Special Management Bureau. There was no coffee cup in front of her, only a pile of combat briefings.
"You don't look well, Li Muhan. Can you sleep well these days?"
"Yeah, but Xia Yue's condition is getting worse... She... has been sleeping for two days."
"After Xia Grace disappeared, Xia Yue's condition took a sharp turn for the worse. This matter can't be delayed any longer. Humanity can no longer afford to waste time with these things."
Li Muhan nodded.
"Director Forestry, have you found out the source of that tree?"
"Well, although this tree originally grew in Area 91, that was only the first stop for it to absorb power, and its true source..."
Lin Ze pointed to the map on the table.
"In Qinqiu Mountain."
......
Li Muhan squatted beside Xia Yue in front of the shabby wooden bed.
The pale-faced girl seemed to be asleep, breathing evenly.
At first she was just very sleepy, then she slept for a long time, and now, Xia Yue has been in a coma for two days.
Li Muhan gently combed Xia Yue's messy long hair, and then kissed her forehead.
"I have owed you this wedding for too long, Xia Yue..." Then he slowly took out a small box from his trouser pocket, and took out the ring that Wang Yao had given to Yin Qi from the box.
"This is what Yin Qi gave me before she died. Her last wish was that we could live well."
Li Muhan gently held Xia Yue's hand, and then put the ring on her ring finger.
There was no grand wedding, no wedding dress, no phoenix crown and bridal robe, and no vows of eternal love.
But Li Muhan always knew Xia Yue's answer.
"I love you, Xia Yue."
......
If the end is inevitable.
Then the struggle between humans and aliens is like a grasshopper jumping on a hot pot.
This story is really interesting.
Although I am not the protagonist of this story, I have also seen bits and pieces of the people in these stories.
Whether it is Li Muhan, or the people or aliens around him.
They are all a bunch of hopeless idiots.
The girl stood on the cliff of the snow-capped mountain, looking at the vines that were spreading out from the deep cracks of the snow-capped mountain.
Then, behind her, in the wind and snow, a figure slowly walked out.
"Hi."
Moriarty smiled and turned to look at the man.
"Prometheus lost, and it lost completely."
She smiled and challenged the person in front of her.
The person who came was holding a crutch in her hand. Most of her skin had been peeled off, revealing her mechanical body.
"It's... not easy getting here, Moriarty."
Leia's tone was very stiff, as if she had lost her basic language modules and could only use the most basic AI to repeat her words.
"Yes, this is the perfect place I have chosen for your burial, Miss Rhea. And, dear Mr. Sherlock, look, there is the source of destruction and the place where the end will come."
Moriarty smiled and pointed to the abyss below the cliff.
"Do you really think you've won, Moriarty?"
Rhea continued walking towards Moriarty step by step.
"What else could it be?" the girl stuck out her tongue. "Even the greatest weapon your mother left you couldn't stop the destruction of this world. But I'm really curious, what exactly did Prometheus leave you? Why haven't you made any moves in the past six months? It's made me a little panicked."
"...The power my mother left me is enough to allow me to possess an endless army of mechanical bodies. Like your rift monsters, they possess the power of infinite evolution."
"Oh?" The girl sneered. "That would be a real problem for me. If this world really becomes a world of rift creatures and mechanical life forms, then it would be completely different from Father's plan."
"So... Miss Leia, where is your army of machines hiding?"
Leia shook her head, her face unable to show any expression any more.
The wind and snow slowly peeled off the skin on her cheeks, and what was left was only a bionic body.
"There are no more great armies, Moriarty."
"Hahahahahahaha." The girl laughed so hard that she fell over. "Then why are you here? To die???"
"Yes..." Leia raised her head, her mechanical hybrid glass eyes staring at Moriarty: "I'm here... to die."
After saying that, she quickened her pace and pounced on Moriarty with a twisted body.
"Hahahaha! Stupid bug!! This isn't Reichenbach!! And I'm not Moriarty!!"
The girl raised her hand and grabbed Leia's neck, lifted the android high up, and then hung her on the edge of the cliff.
"I don't know what you're trying to do! Rhea! You're as stupid as your mother! And you! Mr. Sherlock! You're also a useless waste! You're not even good enough to become the end! Hahahaha! Now..."
The smile on Moriarty's face gradually became eerie and strange.
"Goodbye, my old friend, I wish you a bright future~"
Snap——
She crushed Rhea's neck, and the android's body fell into the crack of the abyss. Moriarty then looked at the head, which no longer had any expression, with disdain, and threw it down.
"Down below~" The girl picked up Leia's crutches, then opened her arms and shouted, "Let us welcome the true protagonist~Savior~Master~Demon King! This world! Last! Hope!"
Then she bowed slowly and faced the person who was walking towards her.
"Our beloved Mr. Li Muhan."
