Chapter 199: World Tree Someone was the first to see the thing at the end of the sky...
"This is Team Z32, reporting to Command Center. Nothing unusual on the overpass. There are over fifty injured civilians here, all with minor injuries..."
Z32, one of the first teams from the Central Star First Military Academy to come to support.
Because there are only three of us and we don’t have a counselor, we are numbered 32nd.
The leading captain was a handsome young man. He took off his glasses, and his vine-like spirit quickly formed a net, transporting the people blocking the bridge from the viaduct to the ground.
Another muscular young man with tattoos stabbed the mutant's core with one hand. With a hissing sound, the mountain-like monster fell heavily from the other side of the overpass.
The giant eagle spirit roared with great force in protest, circling between the bridge pillars and driving away any winged mutants that tried to approach.
Not far away, a handsome, dark-skinned young man was also beating the mutant with all his might.
"Xiao Lin! Do you still have a knife? Mine is broken!"
Lin Chaosheng was busy transporting the wounded.
Before he could answer, Seraphina threw a black dagger from a distance.
"Use it sparingly!"
The spirit of Doudoumei's big dog pounced up with a "woof", grabbed the handle of the knife, and lightly jumped over a distance of more than ten meters. He ran back and handed it to Zhou Bai, and swatted a mutant away with his claws.
Lin Chaosheng was carrying the wounded along the way and transporting them to the places where other teams would pick them up.
After the bridge was cleared, the three men did not linger in the fight and quickly advanced forward.
They were extremely efficient, moving deeper and deeper into the city.
Lin Chaosheng ran while anxiously checking the communicator.
"I wonder where Xiaoyun is now. Why isn't she answering the phone again... Huh? Xiaoyun?!"
Zhou Bai and Seraphina followed his gaze and looked into the distance.
In the distance, a man in a white T-shirt was standing in the middle of the overpass.
He turned his head around, as if looking for something.
Lin Chaosheng thought he was dazzled.
The person I had been worried about all the way suddenly appeared before my eyes. It was like a dream.
If this familiar figure isn't Yun Fuyu, who else could it be?
The three of them were surprised and happy. They ran over madly and suddenly pounced on Yun Fuyu and hugged her!
The scorching body temperature surrounded us layer by layer, driving away the night wind and cold.
In Yun Fuyu's vision, dreams and reality, the human world and the other world, the present and the past, different spaces overlap chaotically and constantly change.
Only when his mental power touched his teammates, his body sensed their body temperature, and he hugged them tightly, could Yun Fuyu anchor his position among the millions of memories.
Yun Fuyu buried her head in her teammate's arms and rubbed it gently.
Zhou Bai was very excited.
"Xiaoyun!! How did you find us? Where did you go before? We couldn't contact you, so we were fighting mutants all the way, but there were too many mutants——"
The big dog also rushed over, grabbed Yun Fuyu's waist, and wagged its tail.
In the darkness of the night, Yun Fuyu's reaction was slow, his eyes were misty, and his vision seemed to be looking through them to somewhere else.
Now, all three of them realized that something was wrong.
Lin Chaosheng looked left and right, but Yun Fuyu was not injured and her body temperature was normal.
He wiped the dust off Yun Fuyu's face and said, "Xiao Yun? Are you feeling unwell?"
Yun Fuyu paused, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"No, I just dealt with a lot of mutants, and I'm a little tired all of a sudden."
Seraphina: "We just received a message from the central headquarters. They are looking for you. What happened? What are they going to do?"
They were afraid that Yun Fuyu would get involved in something bad again, so they naturally did not report his location and planned to get clarification first.
Yun Fuyu tried hard to hug three people at the same time.
"It's not a bad thing. They came to me because I have some connections with the Holy See... Don't be impatient, just listen to me."
The teammates were not clear about the origin of the Son of God and the past of the Holy See, and it would take a while to explain them all.
Time is limited, so I can only talk about the most important things.
Yun Fuyu: "I wanted to join the resistance army before..."
Zhou Bai couldn't control his voice for a moment, "What??"
Yun Fuyu blocked his mouth: "Listen to me first."
"A month ago, I found a clue about the resistance. I was planning to go investigate yesterday, but I happened to run into the pollution outbreak... I also accidentally recovered some of my memories."
Lin Chaosheng looked a little reproachful, but still held Yun Fuyu's hand.
"If we hadn't met today, would you have planned to leave quietly?"
Yun Fuyu felt the warmth of his palm and a faint smile appeared on his face.
"I'm sorry, I won't do that again."
Lin Chaosheng vaguely felt that something was wrong, but Yun Fuyu's face had returned to normal, and there was no clue. He couldn't tell what was wrong for a while.
Yun Fuyu squeezed Seraphina's arm.
"I sent a potted plant to your sister with a small note inside explaining my whereabouts. Now the plan is scrapped and the message is also scrapped. I'm sorry, I couldn't think of a better way at the time, so I had to trouble her."
Seraphina: "Whatever it means to be troublesome, but Xiaoyun..."
Yun Fuyu: "From now on, just pretend this matter never happened. For the time being... I probably won't join the resistance."
Zhou Bai: "Um, Xiaoyun..."
Yun Fuyu: "Don't worry. I remembered what happened in the past. My family is in the Vatican. I'm going back to find them."
Lin Chaosheng held Yun Fuyu's face and took a closer look.
"Xiaoyun..."
They interrupted Yun Fuyu one after another.
Yun Fuyu finally sensed something strange in his dazed mind.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Bai carefully reached out his hand and touched Yun Fuyu's cheek.
"Your face... this is..."
In the night, the slightly cool cheeks are as white as jade.
But there were faintly glowing lines climbing up from the collar and along the skin of the cheeks, as if they had life, flickering with the breathing.
Seraphina became anxious and reached out to wipe the side of his face.
"What is this?"
The flickering lines were like some kind of plant, clinging to the face and could not be wiped off with hands.
That's not a vine.
That is...
The roots of the World Tree.
Yun Fuyu tried hard to open her eyes wide, but she could only see her own blurry reflection in Lin Chaosheng's panicked pupils, which was not very clear.
Zhou Bai looked anxious. He picked up Yun Fuyu and ran towards the outside of the city.
"Don't be afraid, we'll go back to the base now... Don't be afraid, Xiaoyun."
Yun Fuyu had a confused look on his face. He touched his face and became a little flustered.
He jumped out of Zhou Bai's arms with extremely light movements, and ran to the edge of the viaduct in a few seconds.
For a moment, the others couldn't catch up with him.
Lin Chaosheng was startled by him.
"Xiaoyun!"
The three of them chased after him, and Yun Fuyu retreated again and again.
Yun Fuyu looked down and saw the lines on the back of his hand. He looked a little scared and his eyes were slightly moist.
"This, this seems to be my spirit body... I'll go find the people from the Vatican and solve this pollution. Please be careful and don't get hurt..."
Before he finished speaking, Yun Fuyu looked down at the bridge and flipped over decisively.
The three people's hearts tightened instantly, and they jumped down decisively!
But after landing... it was pitch black under the overpass and there was no one there.
*
Another corner of the city.
In front of the huge polluted rift, the priests were stretched thin and unable to cope.
The injured pastor sitting nearby was almost crying, and he looked at the call for help every few seconds.
"Hold on for another half hour! The bishop is almost here!"
...But the mutant is about to pounce in front of us!
At this moment, a gentle and powerful force suddenly formed a transparent barrier, blocking everyone.
The pastor sat on the ground in a daze.
A sliver of white clothing suddenly appeared on the left side of my field of vision.
He turned his head and saw a handsome young man walking slowly towards him.
The young man looked up at the crack with the expression of an innocent child, unaware of the danger.
The pastor's eyebrows jumped and he grabbed him tightly:
"Wait! It's too dangerous, don't go over there!"
The young man paused, patted the pastor's arm and smiled.
"Let me do it."
It was at this moment that the pastor saw clearly that the young man in front of him had the same face as the person in the missing person notice.
"You are... Yun Fuyu?"
The pastor quickly sent his position and climbed up using his hands and feet.
"Don't leave yet! You...you have a special identity. The priest from the Vatican wants to see you. He's a good man. Can you wait another ten minutes? Just ten minutes!"
He raised his head with great effort, but heard a chuckle in the wind.
The child they had been searching for for so long stood high on the ruins, his face stained with ash and blood.
In the strong wind, his clothes fluttered and his figure was like a signpost standing firmly in the wind.
Yun Fuyu turned around, his brows relaxed, and a peaceful smile appeared at the corners of his lips.
"Don't worry, I remember who I am."
Pollution and mutations are everywhere.
Yun Fuyu never stopped and continued to walk forward.
He protected all living beings in time, purified wherever he went, and extended his mental power without hesitation, wiping out all enemies within his perception range.
The wind blew his hair away, and the purifying white light cast a faint glow on his smooth forehead and straight nose.
Yun Fuyu was not afraid.
Memories are like a body of water covered with white mist, in which someone is singing a familiar and ancient ballad.
They were gathered around the tree, singing for their unborn child.
This song can purify pollution, soothe restless spirits, and heal physical pain.
The singing is soft, and countless fine threads overlap to form a ribbon.
One end is at the foot of Yun Fu Yu, and the other end extends forward.
They knew that the long-awaited child wanted to go home, so the roots of the World Tree emerged to show him the way.
Yun Fu Yu hummed a song softly and walked along the road.
The roots that carry memories appear and disappear from time to time, but the end point is clearly visible.
It extended vaguely into the city and to the bottom of the temple of the sacred tree doll.
There, there is also a huge, lush, and everlasting tree.
Human technology has made way for it, clearing out a piece of sky for the legend to continue.
After an unknown amount of time, the sounds of the mutants disappeared, the street scene became deserted, and the colors became increasingly cold and dark.
In the blurry vision, I finally saw the red-painted wooden temple.
The door creaked open.
Yun Fuyu walked up the mossy bluestone steps.
There were no lights in the temple, and the shadows were thick. The sound of leaves rustling in the night wind could be heard.
But in Yun Fuyu's view, everything was different.
As soon as he stepped into the temple, Yun Fuyu's soul seemed to float up strangely, breaking free from the gravity of the earth, and became extremely light and trance-like.
The temple was dotted with bright lights, and the gods' glow looked like tiny fireflies.
The closer to the ground and trees, the brighter and more numerous these small balls of light become.
He walked past the shrine where he had once drawn fortune, and stretched out his fingertips in a trance to touch the tiny balls of light in the air.
The little ball of light rubbed his hand and circled around happily.
Then, with a "whoosh", all the light balls leaped and whizzed towards the tallest tree, the giant tree that was said to have a thousand-year history and symbolized the sacred tree doll.
It has a huge crown and has long been the elder here.
A long gust of wind blew by.
Air currents rushed into the city from the mountains in the south, and the only remaining natural relics in the steel forest turned into the sound of wind blowing through the forest, spanning thousands of years to greet their old friends.
The sound of rustling leaves was the young new trees here greeting him.
haven't seen you for a long time.
Yun Fuyu was supported by the roots and walked to the foot of the sacred tree doll.
Yun Fuyu leaned against the tree trunk and slowly sat down.
His consciousness sank, and he repeatedly observed the flesh and blood inside his body.
Deep in the brain, three tiny chips covering the nerves... were finally exposed by the powerful mental force.
The chip's presence suddenly became stronger, as if it was getting hot.
The system has been silent for a long time.
It's not human, it has no tension.
But at this moment, it guessed that it might have to leave Yun Fuyu completely.
The electronic sound is intermittent.
"Zizizizi...Host..."
Yun Fu Yu's voice was calm and peaceful.
"What's up."
It was the first person to accompany Yun Fuyu after she woke up. It used the chick effect to gain Yun Fuyu's trust.
Humans hate deception, and the World Tree is no exception.
Yun Fuyu should hate it.
So it gave up on its jokes and its requests that could soften Yun Fu Yu's heart.
Finally, it hissed:
"I'm sorry, and I wish you all the best. Bye."
Yun Fuyu pressed a certain spot on his solar plexus, his chest rising and falling, and sat quietly for a while.
——The mental power dug out the three chips at the same time without any warning!
“——!!!”
The nerves and blood vessels were damaged, and blood snaked down the side of the pale face like a cracked doll.
The "companions" who had accompanied Yun Fuyu all the way were these three little creatures that were so thin that they were integrated with the nerves and could be easily washed away by a pool of blood.
They were wrapped in the blood drops on Yun Fuyu's fingertips, like a drop of dew, sliding into the soil along the grass leaves under the big tree in this late night when no one cared.
The system is completely disconnected.
The journey with the host ends here.
Yun Fuyu's vision became increasingly dark.
If a human were to suffer this level of injury, he would surely die...but he has the World Tree.
The roots of the World Tree quickly repaired Yun Fuyu's body and stopped his bleeding.
*
"What is that...?"
In a place unknown to Yun Fuyu, someone was the first to see what was at the end of the sky.
"Command... Command Center, here, here..."
"What's going on? Stop stuttering."
"This, this, sir, sir, tree!"
The voice in the communicator was so excited that it was distorted and cracked. It was not because of fear, but because of the shock of seeing an inhuman being appear in front of people for the first time.
His hands were shaking so much that he couldn't hold the communicator steadily. He tried his best to control his trembling skeletal muscles, like a traveler shivering like a sieve on a cold winter night. He requested a video call at the last second before his superior's patience ran out.
Four or five seconds later, the adjutant answered the call and saw the application from the S-class psychic.
The man's eyes were wide open and his mouth was open. Although he was still communicating, his eyes passed the camera and stared straight at the top of the screen, as if he was looking at something behind the communication projection.
"...The picture is reversed, turn around!"
"What are you doing!"
"Don't be in a daze, kid!"
After being urged several times by his immediate superior, the psychic finally managed to focus a little on the voice on the communicator and tremblingly switched the screen.
The holy white light that penetrates the sky and the earth is like a new sunrise, illuminating the darkness.
In the tear-jerking light, that clear outline is clearly...
The officer's voice caught comically in his throat, then faltered into a stutter of shock.
"This is......"
An even more panicked voice came from the communicator.
The officer hurried over to report, and then there was a flurry of conversation between one person in a daze and the other in a stern voice.
The chaotic conversation approached the communication line, and then stopped abruptly.
The central control room was silent.
"Is this... the World Tree?"
