Chapter 41
The scene before him was terrifying. All the horror stories he had heard in his childhood, the monsters biting human bodies, and the explosions caused by mechanical debugging failures, were all shattered by the roaring flood.
For a long time, no audience sent any message to the barrage, until more than ten seconds later, the barrage exploded like water dripping into a boiling oil pan.
#Grandma, run! #
#Grandma runs#
#Why are you running to the sky#
#How much mecha energy is left#
#Mom|Run#
#Oh My God#
#RunRunRunRun#
In fact, Jiang Xiangyang was a long distance away from the flood, but the flood was moving very fast and passed through half of his entire field of vision in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Xiangyang felt that his mind was cut into five, six, seven or eight pieces. One part was shouting how this could be true, another part was yelling why the flood came so quickly, and another part made him freeze in the distance, not knowing east, west, south, left, right, up or down, where he should go.
Jiang Xiangyang turned around, and the camera followed him to look at the forest behind him. He opened his mouth, and his throat seemed to be stuffed with debris. After a long time, he finally found his voice with difficulty, but it sounded blocked and unpleasant.
He heard himself saying, word by word, "There are a lot of people there."
There was a brief blank in the barrage again. No one was secretly controlling it, and they all stopped at the same time.
This is not something that has already been set up in the film, but it is a hell on earth that is about to happen but has not happened, and they have to witness it with their own eyes.
Jiang Xiangyang added, "But I can't seem to save them."
Jiang Xiangyang's tone was a little confused, a little sad, and a little desperate, mixed with the sound of thunder and rain, which made the hearts of many people on the new planet twisted into a knot.
#Grandma, you...sorry, I'm leaving first#
#Remove the grandma host#
#Grandma, please find a place to hide...it will be fine#
#It'll be alright...#
#Sorry, I'm leaving#
#Sorry for withdrawing...#
#Retreat first......#
#Hey, why are you doing this? Just leave the old lady alone——#
#Grandma, please hide quickly#
Jiang Xiangyang looked at the rolling barrages and the exponentially decreasing number of viewers above the holographic projection, and suddenly covered his eyes with his hands. He seemed to have become a beast trapped in a cage again, running around in circles without being able to find a way out, feeling so depressed that he couldn't breathe.
He seemed to hear the screams of people trapped in the flood, the wails of wild beasts, and the vegetation being uprooted and swept away in large tracts, leaving behind a tragic flood on the land where he had once enjoyed the warm sunshine.
Jiang Xiangyang's chest was heaving violently, his trembling hands unable to hold onto the controls. Tears were already welling up in his eyes, streaming down in streams. He wiped them away intermittently, "What should I do? Who can tell me what to do—"
#Is the grandma using Hilda's school mecha? What type? #
The little ball pulled Jiang Xiangyang's sleeve hard. Jiang Xiangyang dropped his hand in shock and looked at the barrage in a daze.
#Answer quickly, there may be a way to stop the flood! #
Jiang Xiangyang's heart was pounding. He forced himself to calm down and answered quickly.
There were still many viewers who stayed in the live broadcast room. When they saw this comment, they all thought that the person was daydreaming.
#Stop the flood, are you kidding? #
#Big talk? #
#It's already this time, can you please stop making fun of the old lady#
#Is there still humanity#
#Stop making sarcastic remarks and listen to what he says! #
The comments quieted down, half filled with anticipation and half with suspicion. All heartbeats seemed to have synchronized to the same rhythm. The few remaining tens of thousands of viewers stared intently at the person with the username 'Codename 7742', not knowing what they were so nervous about or what they were expecting.
The man finally posted another comment, but he asked Jiang Xiangyang whether the flood would pass through a canyon.
Jiang Xiangyang immediately replied: "Yes."
At the same time, in an office on the new planet, a dozen researchers in white work clothes crowded in front of the photon screen, holding their breath, ready to go, and highly focused. A man sat in the middle of them, his fingers tapping on the keyboard rapidly.
#How much distance is there between them? #
Jiang Xiangyang: "About 20 to 30 meters."
#That's enough. Go over there. There's a small red button on your left. Press it and enter command G3178Y217K912 within three seconds. This will prepare the high-pressure particle cannon and directly destroy the mountain! #
Jiang Xiangyang didn't react, but by the time he realized what he was doing, the operation had already been completed.
The two robotic arms suddenly disassembled, and the pieces of mechanical debris formed a circle in the rain, and then reassembled in seconds, revealing a large gun barrel in front of everyone.
The barrage area has exploded.
Jiang Xiangyang was stunned for half a second when he saw this scene, and then came back to his senses in less than half a second when he saw the rushing flood in the distance. He didn't have time to read the next barrage of comments and hurried to the mouth of the canyon.
The flood came with a roar, and the waves hit the canyon walls. After arriving, Jiang Xiangyang stared at the barrage, waiting for news about that person.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
The flood was approaching, and Jiang Xiangyang was rushing through the canyon, his beating heart seeming to jump out of his chest.
Why not yet?
Come quickly.
Why is there still no news?
What the hell are you doing!
#Lock on the lower left eight o'clock direction and press the attack key, quick! #
Jiang Xiangyang punched the attack button with such force that veins appeared on the back of his hand.
A huge silver beam of light cut through the rain curtain and shattered the foot of the canyon. The sound of the explosion resounded throughout the area and drowned out the surging flood!
The energy in the energy tank was consumed at an alarming rate, but Jiang Xiangyang didn't notice it. He only saw the message from the person in the barrage: Keep going, move slowly diagonally upwards, don't stop!
The load-bearing support points were destroyed, the rocks began to collapse, and the fracture lines quickly spread upward, until the entire mountain collapsed, blocking the only road in the canyon.
Jiang Xiangyang did not smile, because it was not enough. This little bit of obstruction was far from enough to stop the roaring flood. Under the command of the user, he fired another shot at the broken part. The huge rocks fell on the road and overlapped with the previous obstruction.
At this moment, there is very little energy left in the mecha.
The earth-shaking sound made Heitu, who was hiding on the top of the mountain, stick his head out despite the obstruction of the three-petal man, and made all the tribes that were marching towards the mountains stop. The creatures in the forest raised their heads at the same time and looked at the dazzling light that kept shuttling through the distant dark clouds.
As hot as fire, as bright as stars, covering the high sky.
The old priest, ignoring the current, knelt on the ground and shouted loudly: "A miracle! That is a miracle!"
The flood finally arrived, roaring and rushing, biting hard into the barrier blocked by huge rocks, rolling back and forth, as if the way was temporarily blocked. All the spectators held their breath, the corners of their mouths curled up slightly, but the next moment, a stream of water gushed out from the cracks in the rocks, and gradually the barrier began to loosen.
#Ahhhhhhhh!#
#It's over, it's over#
#Can't stop it#
#The piled rocks are too loose, no! #
#Grandma, please bomb the other side too! #
#Grandma, hurry up, hurry up!! #
Accompanied by continuous bombing sounds, more rocks fell. Jiang Xiangyang punched down one after another, so fast that even the small ball could not stop it.
Beads of sweat appeared on Jiang Xiangyang's forehead and his eyes were focused.
It’s almost there, it’s almost there, it’s almost there!
[Warning, the mecha is running low on energy. Warning, unable to continue attacking. Warning, the energy is exhausted.]
Jiang Xiangyang's heart seemed to skip a beat. He turned his head helplessly and saw the energy bar flashing red light.
The energy bar dropped little by little in the ominous red light, and finally, with a ding, it became 0%.
#What? #
#No energy left!!#
#What?
#No, Grandma, you——#
Jiang Xiangyang could no longer see any more barrages of comments. His hand had already left the operating device. He did not take it away on his own, but his body suddenly became airborne and his hand moved away with it.
In an instant, the world turned upside down. Jiang Xiangyang stared blankly, and the feeling of weightlessness followed. The whole mecha fell downwards like a falling meteor.
He stared at the cliff that was only one last attack away from being shattered, until the sharp descent made the cliff disappear from his sight, and he faced the ground loosened by the running water.
Did it fail?
The whistling wind cut through the space, and all the noise faded away in his ears. Perhaps it was because he clearly felt the approach of death, Jiang Xiangyang seemed to see many people in a trance.
My deceased parents, the kind smile of my commander, the encouragement of my fellow officers, and then there was the first time I put on a spacesuit and flew into the sky, the first time I saw the wonders of ancient Earth as depicted in books, the first time I received a medal of honor...
And the first time I saw Shang Yi with a cold expression.
The audience outside the barrage of comments were looking at the same thing as Jiang Xiangyang. Many of them couldn't help but cover their mouths with their hands, their eyes trembling, and suppressing the heartbreaking "no" in their throats.
At this critical moment, a black light broke through the sky and caught the fallen mecha, followed by a counterattack, completing the unfinished attack by Jiang Xiangyang.
The huge rocks fell with a loud bang, making the temporary dam even stronger. The flood attacked again and again, but ultimately failed to break through this barrier.
The disaster was resolved as the flood receded, and the sunlight shone through the thick, indissoluble haze, casting its first rays of light on the land that had escaped the disaster.
Finally, dawn comes.
