The voice coming out of the loudspeaker was that of a middle-aged human man, but due to force majeure, the voice was intermittent and somewhat distorted.
Someone shouted in the heavy rain, "This is a human voice, not a monster simulation."
"It's been a long time since we last saw these ruins before the apocalypse." Others continued.
But when they said these words, their actions did not pause at all. Every step they took was filled with murderous intent and a decisiveness that disregarded their own life and death.
However, this time the "prey" seemed different from the previous ones. After people attacked for a long time, they only injured the monster. Its body, which was so thin that only a skeleton was left, swung once, and a large building collapsed.
It is conceivable that it would be easy for it to kill humans.
However, the monster ignored the people changing their formation, and used its long arms to accurately hit Shi Wuqing's direction!
He Bird was at the monster's feet at the moment. When he saw its movements, his pupils shrank - why?
The monster is targeting her?
He gritted his teeth and slashed his long knife deep into the monster's instep!
Although... in the apocalypse, no one who has survived to this day is completely useless.
But... she doesn't look like the type who can fight!
"Sister!" Bai Xiaolu turned around and saw the monster's movements, and was very anxious. He rushed to He Niao and helped him to try to hurt the monster and attract its attention.
However, none of these actions could stop the monster.
It didn't even pause in its movements.
"Run away immediately... sizzle...! You will... die..." The man's tone became terrified through the loudspeaker.
"Bang!" The monster's arm hit where Shi Wuqing was.
"Sister!!" Bai Xiaolu trembled and shouted loudly.
"I'm fine." A calm voice answered him in the rain.
But the night was too dark and the surroundings were too chaotic. For a moment, no one could see how Shi Wuqing had dodged just now and where he was now.
“…coming…zizizi…going to the South Gate…quickly!!” The voice from the loudspeaker was almost a roar.
The monster raised its arms and its huge body shook, and all humans became nervous.
"No...sound...hiss...live on...ahhh!" The loudspeaker played the last part, leaving only the man's screams of fear and pain.
The monster suddenly collapsed, and several people were about to be hit, but the monster turned into black mist in the last second before hitting them.
Monster, dead.
The principal, who was reminding the students at the last moment through the loudspeaker, also died.
The bird jumped down from the ruins carrying Bai Xiaolu.
"What happened? Is it dead?" Bai Xiaolu asked in confusion.
It ended suddenly?
The bird replied briefly: "Dead."
"That was a close call." Bai Xiaolu wiped the rain from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he broke free from He Niao's hand and ran forward: "Sister? Where are you? Are you okay?"
No one responded.
Bai Xiaolu was startled and was about to shout again when he saw a girl holding a red umbrella and walking out with a faint smile from the silvery-white area of water in front of him.
Her smile, even in this gloomy and rainy night, has an indescribable beauty, like a white flower blooming in the dark night.
"I'm here," she said softly.
There wasn't a trace of fear or relief in her beautiful eyes. Instead, it inexplicably calmed the people who were looking at her.
——She is here.
——It’s not the sense of security of being protected, but a very strange and inappropriate feeling.
She is here.
The treasures that must be protected, which cannot be taken away by the evil dragon, the pure white that cannot be contaminated by darkness, and the faith that cannot be lost are all here.
——So, what are you afraid of?
Bai Xiaolu heard his own irregular heartbeat, but at the same time, he also felt unprecedented peace and tranquility.
if……
If I have my sister by my side, it doesn’t matter what the world becomes, right?
…
Bai Xiaolu didn't know what was going on with his strange feeling.
But if someone who can see the "power of faith" is here, he will find that the originally dazzling red light on Bai Xiaolu's body has become a little dimmer.
That meant that his faith in the "Golden Crow God" had decreased.
At the same time, a little white was quietly mixed into the red light.
Unlike the dazzling and powerful red light, white is soft and low-key - that is the belief in Shi Wuqing.
Among the three existing gods, belief in the Golden Crow represents the pursuit of absolute power, the desire for the protection of the powerful sun, and the hope and vision for the future.
Believing in the moonlight means wanting peace of mind, hoping for the protection of the gentle moonlight, and having an obsession with purifying the world and affirming one's self-responsibility.
And Shi Wuqing is the most special one.
Her name is "Xingyu".
Those who believe in Star Elm all aim to protect it.
The family members believe in the Star Elm because they want to protect everything they care about, pursue the tomorrow they desire, and let the "stars" hang in the sky forever.
The world has been destroyed to the point that creatures need faith to survive, so creatures believe in God in the hope of receiving God's protection.
But the believers of Xingyu are different. Everyone has in their hearts the people and things they most want to protect, the things they most want to achieve, and the past that they cannot let go of.
——Whatever it is, as long as it exists, it is "Star Elm".
She is more like a concept, a driving force.
As long as she is well, the believers are determined to move on.
Her existence itself is the best "shelter".
…
People cheered.
Bai Xiaolu eagerly walked over to Shi Wuqing and asked, "Sister, are you hurt?"
"No."
"That's great!" Bai Xiaolu said excitedly.
Shi Wuqing noticed that there was a long scratch on his arm. She put her hand on it and asked, "Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt... eh?" Bai Xiaolu said it didn't hurt because he didn't want to make Shi Wuqing worry, but as soon as he said that, he found that it really didn't hurt!
When the good-looking man moved away, Bai Xiaolu discovered that the wound on his arm had disappeared!
“?!!” Bai Xiaolu was stunned.
He looked up, only to see the beautiful girl curl her lips and whisper, "This is a secret between me and Xiaolu, don't tell anyone else."
"Okay... okay!" Bai Xiaolu stammered, "Sister... aren't you human?"
After asking this question, Bai Xiaolu pursed his lips nervously. He was afraid that he would get some answers... that he didn't want to hear.
Shi Wuqing gripped the umbrella handle, her fingertips cold. Her voice was pleasant, and she smiled softly, "Yes, I am."
"W-Why is that?"
"Because I am Jinwu's friend, he taught me some skills."
"???" The little boy performed a pupil earthquake on the spot.
