Start Cthulhu with priest - Chapter 295
c293 292. After the Nuclear Explosion
The original abandoned capital.
Even if the bottom layer is in chaos, living in the shadow of not seeing the sun all day long.
But on the upper floors of the city, tall buildings line the sky.
Rows upon rows of windows, glass that reflects a faint golden light in the sunlight, and architectural decorations unique to the style of the abandoned city… all make this city look glamorous on the surface.
It is completely a modern city mixed with magic.
But from the perspective of the landscape itself, it is even more spectacular than some big cities on the earth, and even An Le secretly admires it.
But now, in the core area of the city.
The tall building of the Black Mountain Company has completely disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.
A deep hole left on the ground is the only trace of his existence.
The soil in the deep pit has been squeezed and collided in the high temperature, and has changed into a completely different structure, showing a glass-like texture.
Near the building, the buildings within two to three kilometers in diameter were damaged to varying degrees.
The nearby high-rise buildings were directly razed to the ground, or cut off at the middle, and collapsed in a distorted manner, hitting the ground, destroying more than half of the residences of the low-level civilians.
In the distance, the windows of countless houses were shattered by the violent air waves.
Many houses are crumbling, and it seems that they may collapse again at any time.
There are broken walls and burning ruins everywhere.
But at the core, there are almost no human corpses to be seen.
Because under the extremely high temperature, even the bones will be melted into ashes.
From a little distance away, many people could be seen walking out of their previous hiding places in a daze, staring blankly at the place where the explosion occurred.
Words can no longer describe people’s mood at this moment.
Some unlucky people who happened to be walking on the street were red all over their bodies, and the skin on their bodies began to fester.
— This is a sign of a high degree of burn.
It’s just that these people don’t feel pain at all.
Because, the extremely high temperature destroyed their subcutaneous nerves in an instant.
Isn’t this… a kind of luck?
Survivors at greater distances endured excruciatingly painful burns.
There are also many survivors who were blown away by the blast and crushed under the rubble during the explosion, howling in pain.
Someone dragged half of his body and crawled forward with difficulty, dragging the intestines and viscera along the way;
Some people were blind and deaf, and they stood there blankly, falling into another “dark” world.
Someone hugged his own dead child, crying loudly, with blood and tears in his eyes…
In just a few minutes, countless people in the abandoned city lost their parents, children, wives, and husbands forever.
The sound of flames licking dilapidated houses, the loud noise of buildings collapsing from a height and colliding with the ground, and the desolate cries and pain of people, these sounds merged together.
This is… the wail of the entire ruined city!
The lethality caused by nuclear bombs is far more than the first wave of outbreaks.
After it exploded, the scars left on the entire city and the people who experienced it will be unforgettable for a long time to come.
And this is just the beginning of the confusion.
It is very likely that there was a conspiracy in advance.
A large number of armed personnel and superhumans belonging to infinite creatures began to indiscriminately attack the important strongholds controlled by the energy company RG and the Montenegro security company.
Waste Capital is still too big after all.
Even this eye-catching mushroom cloud caused extremely terrible casualties.
But in the fringes of the abandoned capital, there are still large areas that have not been affected.
Without exception, after witnessing the rise of the mushroom cloud, everyone knew—the ruined capital is about to change!
Unlike ordinary citizens in ordinary cities, the residents of the abandoned capital have long been accustomed to the existence of chaos and blood.
Many people farther away quickly understood the current situation, and planned to…do a big job.
Obviously, it can only be one of the three major companies that can use this level of weapons.
And their enemies are bound to be other giant companies.
Moreover, when this weapon is used, it means that the conflict has escalated to the point of no return, and it is very likely that even the highest authority of a certain company has been killed.
At the same time, this also means that the power structure in the abandoned capital will usher in a major reshuffle.
The original stable structure collapsed completely.
This is exactly what many forces are happy to see.
In nature, there is a phenomenon called “whale fall”.
When a whale in the deep sea dies, its huge body will become food for countless weak species for a long time afterwards, returning the nutrients accumulated over decades to the creatures in the sea.
The same reason.
No matter which giant company becomes the loser in this struggle.
Of course it will be harvested by the final winner, the most valuable part of the “nutrient.”
However, just the part of the residue leaking from the corner of the winner’s mouth is enough to feed an unknown number of people.
And those forces whose strength is only a grade behind the giant companies will be even more tempted by this shocking change.
If the three major companies fight to the death, wouldn’t they have a chance to take the top job?
After all, there are only so many resources in total.
If they don’t fight for or rob, won’t they all be robbed by others?
At the same time, in such a chaotic environment.
It was time to liquidate some past enmities.
Doing it during this period can greatly reduce your own suspicions.
——He died in the aftermath of the nuclear bomb, what does it have to do with me?
During this period, there are countless crimes such as taking advantage of the fire to rob, taking the opportunity to bully the weak, steal property, or humiliate wives and daughters.
This nuclear bomb, like a small spark, instantly ignited the sinful and chaotic fire in people’s hearts, amplifying their usually hidden desires.
No matter how unbearable the three major companies are, how ugly the faces of capitalists are.
However, it is undeniable that they do maintain the basic order of the abandoned city to a certain extent.
It’s like three big mountains are pressing on people’s heads, so that they don’t dare to have too offensive behavior.
Now, the landslides.
The madness and chaos suppressed under the mountain began to expand unscrupulously.
Never underestimate the ugliness of human nature.
Especially in the Abandoned Capital, a city with sinful blood flowing through it.
*****
at this time.
At the top of the tallest unspoiled building.
“Black Mountain Qing” is overlooking the city below him, witnessing all kinds of chaos in the city.
As the initiator of all this.
He had a guilty look on his face, folded his hands together, and didn’t know who to tell.
“I’m so sorry for making this city such a mess.”
Just the next second, the apology disappeared from his face.
Instead, it was ferocious and rampant.
The apology just now was completely pretended by him.
“Heishanqing” laughed, like a lunatic who couldn’t understand common sense: “Hee hee, hee hee…”
“This scene… I just want to see this scene!”
He watched with satisfaction the explosions that occurred one after another in the distance, and the brutal and rude atrocities of the people.
The satisfaction at the corner of the mouth gradually became obsessed.
It’s like admiring some kind of incomparably magnificent and beautiful scenery, but in this obsession, there is a somewhat disgusting sense of distortion.
The purpose of “Black Mountain Clearing” is actually not as complicated as Anle thinks.
He just wants to disrupt the existing order.
Let all human beings return to a more primitive, more real and better state – chaos!
After all, order and rules are only short-lived, just a flash in the pan, or in other words, an illusion created by people.
The nature of the world and even the universe is not like this at all.
Hei Shanqing’s face changed again, becoming Xi Le’s appearance, and his eyes turned black.
“Sure enough, this body is more comfortable!”
Xi Le is her original name, and it just so happens that this human female is also called Xi Le.
So she chose the other party as her target just right, and replaced it by the way.
Xi Le stood on a high place and muttered to himself.
“Father An, you should also like this scene more, right?”
“Chaos… is eternal.”
After muttering in a low voice, Xi Le silently turned her head and looked somewhere outside the abandoned city.
I thought, that lady saint must be feeling bad now, right?
*****
This huge riot not only happened in the abandoned capital, but also affected the rebels.
Make them panic and anxious.
From the perspective of members of the rebel army, it can also be clearly seen that two powerful explosions occurred near the abandoned capital.
The former is like… a method used by the Holy Maiden?
As for the latter, people with a little common sense can tell that it will only appear after a nuclear bomb erupts.
The members of the rebels were naturally surprised by this.
Is this going to war against the three major companies?
But before that, they didn’t receive any news!
Moreover, when did the rebels have such a big killer as a nuclear bomb.
Or… are the three major companies fighting on their own?
Due to the lag of the internal news of the rebel army, they don’t know what the situation is like at this time. They can only guess based on some past experience, and all kinds of news are flying all over the sky.
It’s just that most of the members of the resistance army showed no fear or fear of this incident, but…excitement!
As mentioned earlier, with the public opinion propaganda of the three major companies by the rebels, it has become more and more popular.
The internal members became increasingly filled with righteous indignation, and their attitude gradually changed from hostility to hatred.
Now, regardless of whether this matter was designed by the Holy Maiden or not, this is an excellent opportunity for them.
You can take advantage of the internal struggles and weakness of the three major companies, and take advantage of the benefits of the fisherman, and sound the clarion call for counterattack.
Perhaps… success or failure lies in today!
Although the rationality in most people’s hearts tells them that this is unlikely, such thoughts are still unavoidable.
I wonder if it’s still not possible?
What if?
One person’s thoughts are of course nothing, but when so many people have the same idea, they converge into a force that cannot be ignored.
The people anxiously waited for the order from the Holy Maiden.
However, neither Suo Youzi nor Du Zuozuo showed up for a long time.
It is inevitable that the eagerness in people’s hearts will continue to accumulate, and at the same time, some doubts will arise.
What is Mr. Du doing now?
Isn’t there nothing to say about this serious situation?
They were all speculating on Du Zuozuo’s movements and thoughts at this time.
After all, the person who really holds the power and is responsible for all aspects of affairs in the rebel army is none other than Du Zuozuo.
Suo Youzi is more of a mascot and backbone.
In this specific action, members of the rebels still rely more on Du Zuozuo’s decision.
But Du Zuozuo right now has no time to care about these things at all.
because–
Suo Youzi fainted!
In the bedroom shared by Suo Youzi and Du Zuozuo.
The beautiful girl was lying on the bed, her pretty face was white and almost bloodless, and the blue blood vessels on her cheeks could be clearly seen.
The eyes were closed tightly, and the slender eyelashes trembled from time to time.
It seemed that what she saw in that coma made her feel very painful.
Du Zuozuo held Suo Youzi’s left hand, and with a worried face on his pretty face, he called softly.
“My lord, my lord…”
Even Du Zuozuo, who was by Suo Youzi’s side, didn’t understand why she suddenly fell into a coma.
Suo Youzi’s coma showed no signs.
One second he was still talking to Du Zuozuo, the next he closed his eyes and fell backwards.
There are only two possibilities that Du Zuozuo can think of.
One is that the body of the Holy Maiden was overwhelmed and finally reached the limit, so she fell into a coma.
Second, this may be because of the chain reaction triggered by the gun of St. Kiris that he lowered.
Yes, before the nuclear bomb broke out, An Le and the others saw the huge beam of light.
It was Du Zuozuo’s handwriting.
Although she seems to be just a follower beside Suo Youzi.
But her belief is pure and pious, definitely surpassing 99% of Hui Cultists, and her own strength is not weak.
It is only because of the saintess as a contrast that she looks dull.
Du Zuozuo also has the ability to drive the spear of St. Gilis.
The place where the beam of light descended was the No. 2 ruin.
This is why she sent someone to investigate in advance.
And this is the request that the black-eyed person wrote on the pages of Zhonghui’s book.
Du Zuozuo also thought about whether the black-eyed people had other purposes.
But based on the information she collected herself, she didn’t find that there were too many suspicious points in this place.
Eliminating the vital forces of the three major companies was originally what Du Zuozuo should do.
Even if, there will be some civilians in that place.
All she can do is to “as much as possible” reduce civilian casualties and reduce her inner guilt.
As a war of unequal strength.
Du Zuozuo had no choice.
She can only force herself to become cold and tough, and become a person that many people in the rebel army respect and fear.
Isn’t Du Zuozuo doing this to protect Suo Youzi’s pure heart?
can now.
Du Zuozuo, who has always been calm and calm, couldn’t help but panic.
She can endure all kinds of suffering and responsibilities by herself, but she doesn’t want the Holy Maiden to bear even a tiny bit.
Not to mention, she faintly sensed that Lady Saint’s coma might be related to her actions.
‘No, there must be something wrong! ‘
The more Du Zuozuo thought about it, the more serious his expression became.
‘Is this really a conspiracy by the black-eyed people? ‘
I wanted to fry it for a long time, and finally I did it, holding back for a long time!
