Chapter 159 Chapter 159 Chapter 159
When Luo Shizhen and others arrived, the situation was already somewhat out of control.
Lynch played as the vanguard. While killing a ferocious monster that rushed up, he also used time stop to control the most critical area. Looking at the chaotic scene in front of him, he asked the military commander who was sent here.
"What's going on?!"
Luo Shizhen raised his hand to block the wind and looked at the scene in front of him. He also wanted to ask like Lin Qi what was going on.
The battlefield ahead was not the frontline that the Eternal Day members were accustomed to, but rather a row of buildings that originally belonged to a residential area, surrounded by ordinary people who were hastily fleeing under military escort.
But haven’t the monsters been firmly suppressed at the front line, unable to step out of line?
Why did the strangeness reach the rear city protected by the Eternal Daylight overnight?
A hoarse voice came from the headset. Because there was chaos all around, the explosion sounded dozens of times almost every second. The person on the other end had to use the maximum volume to barely hear what he was saying.
"Either the monsters have been hiding most of their combat power, or they have suddenly evolved. Not only our country, but the entire world has been attacked fiercely by the monsters at the same time!!"
"Our country is currently in the best situation. An hour ago, the main armed forces of Country O were dispersed, and the government has been completely disconnected."
"Country X has also sent a request for assistance. At the current rate, the monsters in Country X will reach its capital by tomorrow at the latest."
"Now it's not just about exterminating the weird, but about defending the country, and even defending humanity... Zizi... A battle... Comrades, please... Zizi..."
After the signal was stuck for a moment, a building in front collapsed under the attack of a strange flying creature. At the same time, the noisy voices from the leading officer's side suddenly quieted down.
Half a second later, another voice sounded:
"It has been confirmed that the team leader Yuan Shou has been killed in action. I am the new team leader Zhang Ming. Operation codename 9980325. I will be in command from now on."
Luo Shizhen's pupils constricted. Before his eyes was a scene like the end of the world, and in his headphones came the voice of the new team leader.
He had also seen awakened ones die in battle. It was very common for awakened ones to die in battle on the front lines.
However, those deaths in battle were tragic and long. After the enemy died in battle, his teammates would hold a funeral for him and offer him a bouquet of wild flowers that might have been picked from the front battlefield.
It was very simple, but everyone was grieving.
But now, a leading officer has died in battle, and more awakened ones have also died in battle, but their deaths are neither tragic nor long, but silent and unnoticed, like a moth flying into a flame.
Their colleagues had no time to grieve, and no chance even to express their sadness.
When Teacher Chen passed away, Luo Shizhen was very sad, but later he learned that Teacher Chen still had a chance to come back.
But the large number of soldiers and awakened people who died on this battlefield have no chance of resurrection.
But they still continue to move forward.
Because just as the team leader Guan Yuanshou said, this is now a do-or-die battle for humanity.
Either humans will repel the weirdness, or the weirdness will exterminate humans.
"Shi Zhen."
Sui An patted Luo Shizhen's shoulder, his eyes firm yet gentle: "Let's go."
Luo Shizhen nodded, and his originally confused expression became firm again.
"Um!"
He drew his weapon and joined the battle.
He chopped down a strange creature with his sword, and then heard someone behind him shouting hurriedly: "Wang Luxing! Wake up!"
Luo Shizhen looked over and saw a young man with bloodshot eyes, and his Qi body was almost covered by pollution.
Some bird feathers also appeared on his face, a sign of deep pollution.
Because there are a large number of weird things in the crowd, pollution will of course mix in. Some awakened people who show signs of pollution or are too immersed in the battle will be forced to be contaminated even if they are on guard.
"No, no..."
The awakened one named Wang Luxing still had some rationality left, and painfully pressed down the hair on his face that was about to grow out.
He cannot be alienated now.
Once alienated, he will lose his mind and turn around to attack his original teammates together with the monsters.
With the current level of alienation, taking purification drugs is useless. Even if it can temporarily suppress the alienation, the huge pollution brought by so many monsters on the battlefield will quickly contaminate him within a minute.
Then there is no need to waste precious purification drugs.
A struggle flashed in Wang Luxing's eyes, and then his trembling hands clenched the weapon.
It seemed like a simple action, but it almost consumed all the strength he could control.
Then, he stabbed himself in the heart.
He would rather commit suicide than let his body become a weird helper.
"Wang Luxing!"
The roars of teammates came from the front.
Wang Luxing forced a smile. The last moments of his life should have been a flashback, but it didn't. His mind was blank and he couldn't think of anything. All his energy was used to commit suicide.
files--
The knife was picked open.
Wang Luxing half-knelt on the ground. He knew that the person who opened the knife must be a human.
It should be his teammate.
This really shouldn't happen.
He thought that if he didn't die now, after he became alienated, it would be other awakened people, ordinary people, who would die.
The best option for him is to die now. Isn't that what the Awakener School taught him when he was in school?
Which teammate could get the wrong answer to such a simple multiple-choice question?
He struggled to look up and saw a face that looked familiar, but one he had definitely never seen before.
It doesn't make sense that they would do this if they were not teammates and there were no emotional factors involved. If it wasn't too outrageous, Wang Luxing would have wondered if the other party was a strange undercover agent.
But the next second, he saw the other party raise his hand, and a wisp of white qi rushed into his body.
The restlessness in his body subsided quickly like a flame meeting water. The feathers that had been gradually growing out retreated again. Wang Luxing gasped for breath as if he had been pulled out of a swamp.
He had never felt so light before. He looked at the young man in front of him. Even though he had never seen him before, his identity instantly popped up in his mind.
——Purifier.
Only purifiers can purify on the spot on the battlefield.
But doesn't a purifier need to have a favorable impression of someone before using their ability? He had never even met the other person, so how could the young man purify him so quickly?
Having escaped death, Wang Luxing didn't have much time to think. He looked at the strange creature that suddenly attacked the young man and subconsciously raised his hand to help the other party block it.
The auxiliary system needs the protection of the offensive system, which has always been the understanding of the awakened.
But he was fast. Luo Shizhen was even faster than him. He just dodged and raised his hand to grab the back of the monster's neck. He exerted force and with a click, the neck of the small monster was twisted off.
This is the reaction ability that can only be acquired through long-term combat on the front lines. One can quickly determine what the attacking monster is and what its weaknesses are based solely on the sounds behind him, and eliminate the opponent in the quickest way possible.
Is this really a purifier?
Just as Wang Luxing was thinking this, he saw Luo Shizhen holding a small strange corpse with a broken neck in one hand, and releasing several strands of white Qi with the other hand. These Qi flew in the air, part of them devoured the rapidly increasing pollution in the sky, and part of them flew into the body of the polluted awakener.
"Are you okay?"
Luo Shizhen saw Wang Luxing looking at him, and was afraid that he might have some sequelae, so he asked.
Wang Luxing nodded quickly: "Okay, I'm fine now, thank you."
"Okay, let's continue fighting."
Luo Shizhen finished speaking quickly, found the area with the heaviest pollution, and ran over while releasing white Qi to purify it.
When his mind was focused on purifying the surroundings and the awakened ones, he could no longer react as quickly to every strange attack as before.
The weirdos also discovered that there was a human purifier on the battlefield.
More strange creatures set their sights on Luo Shizhen. Some were flying in the air, some were running on the ground, and some were crawling out from the ground. They all wanted him dead.
But Luo Shizhen seemed not to see it. He didn't even make any defensive moves, but only focused on outputting his Qi.
Because by his side, the members of Silver Cocoon followed him all the way. No matter what level of weirdness came towards Luo Shizhen, it would be quickly killed by the members of Silver Cocoon before it could get close to him half a meter.
Above Luo Shizhen's head, Sui An's mental power was like a big safe net, and some monsters with special invisibility abilities would be strangled as soon as they approached.
The members of the Silver Cocoon team, with Luo Shizhen as the center, pushed forward towards the most polluted area. The situation that was originally suppressed by the strangeness gradually improved.
Wang Luxing also rejoined the battle. The situation was urgent and there was no time for them to vent their emotions. His teammates just said "It's good that you're okay" in the team channel.
It was not until the sudden appearance of the silver cocoon relieved some of the pressure that these awakened people who had been fighting silently had time to say a word or two.
"Too strong, is this the silver cocoon?"
"Who is that purifier in the middle? He's actually able to purify members of other teams in such a complicated situation."
"He was the one who saved Lu Xing. I'll have to thank him after the battle is over."
Someone quickly gave the answer: "It's Luo Shizhen, the Luo Shizhen who made the purification medicine."
Everyone suddenly understood.
"So this is Luo Shizhen."
"No wonder. I heard he's almost an eighth-level Purifier."
Wang Luxing did not join the discussion, but just silently memorized Luo Shizhen's appearance while fighting.
He thought to himself that he would definitely thank him properly after he settled down.
But even though high-level awakeners received the news and rushed over like silver cocoons, the situation did not improve.
Batches of strange creatures, emitting large amounts of pollution, rushed into human cities with suicide attacks, transforming originally good humans into monsters, and then driving the monsters to attack their own kind.
These monsters kept coming, and after killing one batch, another batch came. Humanity was quickly defeated.
In just one week, the originally peaceful and stable Xia Kingdom had lost more than a dozen cities, and a large number of civilians were protected by the army and moved to the rear.
But many times, just after migrating to a new place, the area would quickly fall, and people would have to rush around and retreat continuously.
Everything became clear. It turned out that Guiyi had been hiding his strength all along.
Even when they had not displayed their full strength, it was already very difficult for humans to maintain peace, not to mention now that they have fully released their strength and are launching a massive attack.
These weirdos know all about human tactics and military attack methods.
Even in various countries, it has been discovered that the top leaders are actually high-level weirdos.
Then, the reason why they had hidden their strength before is also very clear.
They are intelligent and strategic, and have patiently spent decades eroding and dividing humans, and then at the chosen moment, they launch a fatal attack on humans.
Countries with strong military power quickly formed the Blue Star Alliance, showing unprecedented intimacy, sharing military strength and scientific and technological talents, and sticking together closely.
One month after the war broke out, facing the situation that they would be exhausted if they continued to fight, some people compromised. Some people in the alliance wanted to try to negotiate with Weird, and Blue Star could get half.
The alliance did not agree with this idea, but the negotiating party secretly sent people to contact Guiyi, hoping to reach a settlement.
But those who went to negotiate did not come back alive.
In the video, the black-haired, white-skinned man, wearing a simple Taoist robe, looked like a handsome young man of high level. He only lit incense and said lightly:
"This planet should have belonged to my race. You've lived here for two thousand more years. You should be content."
The next second, blood splattered and the video was interrupted.
The video was rushed to the highest levels of the league.
Everyone can see clearly that Weiyi does not simply want to live on the Blue Planet, but wants to exterminate humanity while living on the Blue Planet.
Only at this time did mankind feel truly despair.
When Luo Shizhen heard the news, he was bandaging his wounds in the medical room.
The wound was half an arm long. Because it was very serious, even though he was an awakened person, he could not heal it by himself. In addition, his self-healing ability was not that strong, so although he still wanted to continue fighting on the battlefield, he was still sent to the medical room.
He looked down at the bandage on his arm and asked in confusion, "What do you mean Blue Planet should have belonged to them? Why do you say humans have lived here for two thousand more years?"
Sui An was also having his wounds bandaged by medical staff. There was a faint dark blue tint under his eyes, which was caused by long-term lack of sleep.
Not only him, but other awakened people and staff in the medical room were in the same state.
The pace of the war is pressing, time is racing against time, and the awakened ones on the front line only sleep for half an hour a day, or not at all, as they are fighting all the time.
The same goes for Luo Shizhen, but what makes Sui An feel relieved is that it may be related to his ability. Although Luo Shizhen almost never sleeps, his body is not affected at all.
On the contrary, because we consume a large amount of pollution every day, it is like taking a tonic, making our complexion rosy and our spirits full.
Now he was leaning against Sui An, staring at the wound on Sui An's thigh with some worry.
Sui An let him lean on him, and even moved his posture a little to make Luo Shizhen more comfortable:
"This is a secret, but Chen Heyan should have told you that more than two thousand years ago, when the five kingdoms divided the world, the strange invaded Blue Star."
"However, due to the long time since the invasion, people at that time were still in the agricultural period. As stories were passed down from generation to generation, those strange invasions gradually became myths and legends."
Luo Shi really understood: "I know, it's just like the Classic of Mountains and Seas."
Many of the descriptions of animals in "Classic of Mountains and Seas" are simply weird, and even their abilities and functions are written clearly. If you have never seen anything weird, you really can't write that book.
"Yes, according to mythology, when the five kingdoms were dividing the world, the gods became angry and started a war. The gods' mighty power caused the war to break the sky apart, sending floods pouring down, nearly drowning everything in the world."
Sui An's voice was very nice. Luo Shizhen leaned beside him and listened to him slowly tell the story.
"The goddess Nuwa could not bear to see the world torn apart and humanity destroyed, so she cut off the four legs of the divine turtle to support the four corners of the world, took the five-colored divine stones to repair the sky, and separated the gods from mortals. From then on, mortals would no longer suffer from the chaos caused by the gods."
Luo Shizhen felt a little nostalgic: "When I was a child, my grandmother would tell me this story. Was the goddess Nuwa an awakened one?"
"Yes. After the establishment of the Awakener Center, we studied the history of suspected mysterious hauntings and can basically confirm that Nuwa is an Awakener. The so-called gods in mythology and legends are divided into two groups: one is the ancient Awakeners, and the other is the mysterious."
Sui An continued, "More than two thousand years ago, people at that time also experienced invasions by strange creatures. However, the common people regarded them as demons and monsters, and regarded awakened beings with special abilities as gods. High-level strange creatures with human appearances were also regarded as gods. When the ancient awakened beings fought against the strange creatures, in the eyes of ordinary people in ancient times, it was probably equivalent to a battle between gods."
"As for the Sky Breaking and Sky Repairing, it has been confirmed that these monsters come from another world. The so-called Sky Repairing is actually to drive the monsters back to their world and seal the passage."
Luo Shizhen listened carefully.
Every child must have heard the story of Nuwa repairing the sky, but he had never thought that it could be connected with the weirdness.
"No wonder that weirdo said we've lived here for two thousand years longer."
He pondered, "Since the Awakened in ancient times, without technology, were able to drive away the monsters, we should be able to do the same. Can we emulate Nuwa?"
Sui An shook his head. "There's no way to imitate it. The only records mention Nuwa severing the four legs of the Divine Turtle and refining the Five-Colored Divine Stone. The Divine Turtle is simple, and this should be referring to the Weird Gao Turtle. But no one knows what the Five-Colored Divine Stone is specifically. Moreover, after Nuwa repaired the sky, more than two thousand years ago, there were no more Awakeners. Experts speculate that the Awakeners at that time must have used some method to drive away the Weirdness. Although they eventually drove away the Weirdness, the Awakeners themselves lost their abilities and became ordinary people again."
"It's indeed recorded in the records that when the gods left, they said that the heavens were only temporarily sealed and that the evil gods would surely descend again. However, before the large-scale appearance of strange things, everyone thought that was just a myth. Until now, it seems that these strange things have been preparing for this for two thousand years."
Luo Shi was really shocked. The situation of the ancient awakeners more than two thousand years ago would have been even more difficult than it is now, but they still fought fearlessly and succeeded.
And now, it is their generation's turn to fight.
He felt admiration, yet also a little lost.
At heart, Luo Shizhen is still a small-town youth who just wants to live with his partner, find a solid job, earn a stable salary, go out early and come back late every day, and occasionally take a day off to play. He never thought that he would live in an era where human beings may be destroyed.
He subconsciously hugged Sui An's arms and shoulders, and Da Huang quickly hugged his neck.
Luo Shizhen tried hard to calm himself down:
"So the myth says that after that catastrophe, the gods retreated to heaven, and the heavenly and human worlds were no longer connected. Didn't the awakened ones also leave with them? Instead, they became ordinary people?"
He immediately recalled a TV show he had watched before: "Do we need to combine the power of all awakened people? Focus it on one person, and that person will be able to defeat all the weirdness?"
Sui An used his other hand to help Luo Shizhen tidy up his hair and soothed him softly:
"Experts do have similar speculations. Ever since the mysterious advent thirty years ago and the reappearance of the Awakened, the Awakened Center has been trying. However, the abilities of the Awakened are extremely mysterious and there's no way to remove them. However, now that experts from all over the world have gathered together, they're sure to find a way."
Luo Shizhen nodded dejectedly.
Seeing his teammates busy fighting on the battlefield, he hated weirdness more and more.
Do we need the five-colored magic stone to completely drive away the weirdness?
Five-color sacred stone?
What could that be and where is it?
