2. She Saw God
Countless space battleships emerged from the torn sky, and the energy beams they launched simultaneously blasted the strange beasts on land, sea, and air into pieces.
Even the beast tide that was about to devour Su Liu was wiped out by the continuous bombardment, but what followed was a smell more fetid than a rotting corpse.
Su Liu covered his mouth and vomited continuously. Blood mixed with gastric juice flowed down his hand, making him feel extremely nauseous.
Not far away, the broken ground suddenly trembled, and it seemed as if some living creature underground paused for a moment, and then quickly approached her, and the concrete floor along the way was repeatedly overturned with a loud bang.
Su Liu's vision was obscured by a thick blood mist. She only saw a huge "arm" suddenly pop out from the ground and pierce through the man who was still breathing on the ground.
A large amount of blood spurted out from the man's chest. The man coughed weakly, his head tilted, and his dull eyes looked towards Su Liu.
He is not dead yet.
But an inverted triangular head slowly stretched out from the crack, raised its "arm", and swallowed the man from the head into its stomach.
The dull sound of swallowing, the creaking sound of bones being squeezed, deformed and broken, and the desperate whimper of the man as he gradually died were all particularly clear in this not-so-silent space.
Su Liu finally saw clearly that it was a snake-like creature with its head raised high like a king cobra, but its eyeballs were as dead as a zombie.
Its "arms" are sharp snake tails, and its huge body is covered with layered black and green scales. Each scale is sharper than a knife blade and has a strange metallic luster.
When it discovered Su Liu was a living person, it turned its head and opened its bloody mouth towards Su Liu.
Its mouthparts, filled with poisonous gas, are filled with tens of thousands of fangs. As the oral muscles contract, they constantly squeeze and "stir-fry" the head of the man who has not yet been swallowed, until even the skull is shattered into powder.
“Hiss—”
The scarlet snake's tongue kept moving towards Su Liu, and its huge head slowly approached, with Su Liu's figure reflected in its turbid pupils.
Su Liu felt no fear. He just lowered his head and calmly hugged his father who was breathing weakly.
The strange beast opened its huge mouth like the abyss again, and swooped down towards her with its head raised.
However, Su Liu felt no pain.
On the contrary, time and space seem to be frozen at this moment, the hustle and bustle of the world is isolated, and the only sound left in the ears is the heavy echo of the waves hitting the rocks.
Su Liu raised his head in confusion and saw countless spider-web-like cracks appearing on the terrifying and strange snake head.
Immediately, the snake's head broke into pieces, and black blood and body parts fell down.
what happened?
Su Liu opened his eyes wide, and after the giant snake's body collapsed, he vaguely saw a tall and slender figure in front of him.
The man was wearing a military uniform, with the reflective silver badge on his shoulder showing his high military rank. His windbreaker fluttered in the strong wind, forming a very arrogant arc.
He held a giant blade glowing blue in his hand, standing on a mountain of strange beast wreckage. His green eyes, clearer than emerald, were as beautiful as a lush forest lake.
Behind him were countless corpses of strange beasts, so many that they were enough to fill the mountains and seas, spreading all the way from the distant end of the sky to this place.
Su Liu was just astonished when the man was already walking towards her. His angular face beneath the brim of his hat was quite cold and resolute, and his temperament was as indifferent as an icy sea that had been baptized by frost and snow for tens of millions of years.
Yes, God?
Only God has such powerful and incredible strength to kill all the strange beasts on this planet.
The man did not stop, but raised the heavy, shining blade again, and chopped the winged beast behind Su Liu into pieces more freely than waving a paintbrush.
The moment he passed by Su Liu, the man's cold green eyes shifted slightly.
The blood-stained, armless girl sat in the diffused sparks, wrapping her only remaining arm around the old man's head.
The girl's waist-length black hair was blown by the wind, curling into a very sad arc in the bloody storm.
The tragedy that has been repeated countless times can still move the imperial admiral for a moment.
On that day, the planet K-72 was destroyed and two billion people around the world perished.
On the rescue starship, Su Liu had a bandage wrapped around his eyes and sat silently in the medical cabin.
The healer was a very young girl, who kept on spraying medicine on Su Liu's broken arm.
"You're lucky. Because you're one of the few survivors, we have time to repair your broken limbs. Otherwise, you would be disabled for life."
Su Liu lowered her head and let the healer torment her wounds.
After the healer finished the basic treatment, he took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to help you regenerate your severed limb. It's going to be painful, but you can't use anesthesia, so bear with it."
Su Liu still didn't react.
A day later, she was moved to a general treatment room.
Outside, the healer's eyes were complicated.
"God, she didn't even utter a word when I regenerated her limb. You know, that hurt more than a chainsaw cutting through bones!"
Another nurse was already accustomed to this. "She must have lost someone very important. The heartache has already paralyzed her body."
The healer couldn't understand and just stared at his first injured patient.
A few hours later, the healer walked into the treatment room with food.
"You have to eat something, or you'll starve to death."
Su Liu lowered his head, holding the half-blood-stained letter in his hand.
The healer pursed his lips, stepped forward and snatched the letter away.
"Don't read it. You can't eat letters."
Su Liu, who had been unresponsive all this time, was like a cat whose sore foot was stepped on. He suddenly broke free from the medical equipment and rushed towards the healer, roaring hysterically.
"Give it back to me, give it back to me—"
The healer was startled, and before he could react, Su Liu had snatched the letter back and held it against his chest cherishingly.
The frightened healer took a moment to calm down, then asked cautiously, "Is that something very important?"
Su Liu tilted his head, looking lifeless.
Before her father died, he gently stroked her furry head.
"Although you are my adopted son's fiancée, you are more like my own flesh and blood than my adopted son."
"In just three short years, you've brought me happiness I've never experienced in my entire life and made me truly like a father."
The father used up his last bit of strength to take out the letter from his arms and handed it to Su Liu as if it were a very important task.
"Liuliu, go to the Imperial Star and give this letter to the person in charge of the Ives family."
"Don't die," Su Liu begged desperately, "Please, don't die."
My father smiled silently.
"My life has been a failure, and you are the only compensation fate has given me. Promise me that you won't think about revenge. Just stay alive, healthy, and happy. That's enough."
After saying this, my father lowered his arms and left forever.
The planet has been destroyed, and even the home where the father and daughter once lived together has long since collapsed.
The only thing left for Su Liu was this letter that did not belong to her and was stained with her father's blood.
