1. Devour
Su Liu had never seen the sky torn apart.
It was like the sky covered with fiery clouds opened one eye, reflecting colorful stars in the pupil.
It was a very beautiful and shocking scene, but the earth was already filled with grief.
On the scorched earth soaked in blood, a baby with dull eyes bit his hand and curled up beside his dead mother.
Amidst the ruins, the white-haired father protected his pregnant daughter, his frail body smashed into a pool of flesh.
The defeated soldiers pushed aside the corpses of their comrades, dragged their bloody bodies towards the strange beasts that were biting humans, and launched a final attack with all their might.
However, soon, the violent energy beam cut off half of his head, and the intestines were trampled all over the ground by the running little beast.
The spurting blood splashed all over Su Liu's face, and the strong stench mixed with the saliva of the strange beast made her almost nauseous.
She knelt on the ground, hugging her father who had lost both legs tightly, her blood-soaked body trembling constantly.
A few hours ago, countless strange beasts appeared in the sky, on the earth, and in the ocean at the same time.
They invaded and devoured the planet in an instant, and the military forces stationed in human cities all collapsed.
Until now, a huge creaking sound was heard from high in the sky, sweeping across the entire earth.
Su Liumu looked up and saw the broken starship split in two and slowly falling into the ocean in the purple-red storm.
Continuous rumbling explosions spread across the hull, and from them came the suffocating and desperate final report of the artificial intelligence.
"Disaster level, Devour. Their strength has significantly exceeded the Legion's estimates. The 14th Division of the Rose Army has been completely annihilated. Please request that the remaining reinforcements cover the evacuation of civilians and fight to the death."
Rows of enemy fighters flew in from the horizon, detonating their fuel in suicide attacks to crash into the herd, causing a sea of fire, just hoping to buy even a little time for the retreating rescue starships.
But the beast master "Shi" will not let them get their wish easily.
The giant snake coiled on the planet moved its body slightly, and the vibration more terrifying than a magnitude 9 earthquake made the entire planet tremble.
Its pitch-black vertical pupils blocked out a section of the sky, and the edges of its golden pupils looked like a suppressed solar eclipse.
It was so huge, but with just a slight tightening of its tail, the starship that had already escaped from the planet and was flying towards an alien planet was blown away by the airflow to a tiny part of its tail, and it swirled and shattered in the vast universe like a withered leaf.
Everyone on this planet will die.
Su Liu's mind went blank. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw his fiancé holding his lover and running quickly towards an enemy fighter plane not far away.
With hope within reach, she immediately dragged her father, who only had the upper half of his body left, and crawled towards her fiancé with difficulty and panic.
"Zhang Yanchen!"
Zhang Yanchen, who was wearing a military uniform, seemed to be unable to hear her cries, and was only concerned with holding his lover Lin Roufang and boarding the fighter plane.
Seeing the enemy fighter plane about to take off, Su Liu shouted desperately, "Zhang Yanchen, take Dad away! Please save Dad!"
In the cab, Zhang Yanchen inadvertently lowered his head and saw Su Liu kneeling on the scorched earth in the twisted heat of flames, shouting and kowtowing to him.
He hesitated for a moment and put down the ladder.
Su Liu was overjoyed and used all his strength to try to drag his father over.
Just as she was about to reach the ladder, Lin Roufang coughed weakly, and a little blood appeared on her palm.
"Yanchen." She whimpered with tears in her eyes and then fainted.
Zhang Yanchen's eyes were bloodshot for a moment, and he looked at the screen and saw that the beast tide had discovered them.
In three minutes at most, the beast tide would arrive here, so he quickly retracted the ladder.
But Su Liu didn't know where he got the strength from, but he held the ladder tightly and tried to push his dying father up.
"Zhang Yanchen, he's your father, you can't just stand by and watch him die!"
Zhang Yanchen looked at the surging beast tide, and then at the weak and delicate Lin Roufang, with tears in her eyes.
He gritted his teeth, unbuckled his safety buckle, ran to the cabin door, and kicked Su Liu in the chest again and again.
"Get out of here, get out, get out now!"
It would be a waste of time to let a disabled person board a fighter plane, and he was unwilling to waste even a second.
Su Liu was kicked so hard that he vomited blood, but he refused to let go, and his eyes were so red that they seemed to be dripping blood.
"Zhang Yanchen, please, at least take Daddy away! He raised you. He even sold his blood to earn money to send you to military school. You can't just ignore him!"
The terrifying roar of the beast tide was approaching. Zhang Yanchen was frightened and angry, and he drew his knife and stabbed it directly into Su Liu's palm.
I thought Su Liu would let go due to the sudden pain, but I didn't expect her to grit her teeth and hold on.
Even though his palm was pierced, he still clung to the ladder and blocked the hatch.
"You ungrateful bastard!" She widened her eyes in anger and cursed word by word, "You shall not die a good death!"
Zhang Yanchen shuddered, but when he saw Lin Roufang curled up weakly in the chair, he immediately found an excuse for himself.
"Roufang is a Purifier. Her life is a thousand times more precious than yours! If you endanger Roufang while saving you, the Empire will tear you apart!"
In the chaos, Su Liu saw Lin Roufang, who should have been unconscious, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.
The smile was very proud, and Su Liu was sure that it was not his illusion.
Before she could say anything, the furious Zhang Yanchen grabbed a sharp piece of iron and slashed at her arm.
A blood mist spread before his eyes. Su Liu only felt a sharp pain, and his body immediately leaned back.
Her broken arm was sucked into the roaring engine and turned into minced meat in an instant like pork in a meat grinder.
The hatch was finally closed, and the fighter plane took off immediately. The airflow blew up and instantly blew Su Liu several meters away.
She rolled over a dozen times in the dust, and after hitting the ruins, she suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
After a few seconds of dizziness, she looked up again and saw the enemy fighter plane had already flown away. She couldn't help but scream hysterically: "Zhang Yanchen——"
This coward abandoned her and her father and fled alone with his lover.
Su Liu sat blankly in the ruins. After a moment he remembered something and crawled to his father who was also blown away, leaving a winding trail of blood behind him.
My father was gone from the waist down, and his once kind face was as pale as a corpse in the morgue, without a trace of a smile on his face anymore.
"dad……"
No response was received.
Su Liu hooked his fingers around the corner of his father's clothes and sobbed silently.
She never believed in God.
But at this moment, she hoped very much that a god would come.
"Oh God."
Su Liu closed his eyes and murmured.
Look at this destroyed planet and the civilian lives that have been trampled upon.
Why do humans have to endure all this?
Why did she come to this terrible world and encounter such a cruel disaster?
If dying again was her fate, then being able to go with this little old man at the last moment of her life didn't seem so scary.
The raging beast tide, like thousands of horses galloping, made the earth buzz. Su Liu hugged his father's upper body tightly and closed his eyes in despair.
Then, she heard a deafening roar that seemed to tear the universe apart.
The sky, the earth, and the ocean all trembled continuously with the roar.
