Section 422: Devil and Deathly White

The gathering point was very large.

Like all the gathering points in the x35 wilderness, it was full of chaos, dilapidation, filth, and dirt. 【 *】 The entire gathering point was converted from an abandoned military base of a previous civilization.

Located inside a mountain, the chaotic tunnels stretched through the mountain like roads, and no one knew where they ended.

At the entrance of the tunnels, dozens of stone houses and walls were built with the help of the terrain, serving as the facade of the gathering point.

The military base had a complete water circulation system and power generation equipment.

In the post-apocalyptic world, water was the foundation of survival, and any gathering point without water would only turn into yellow sand in the wind.

Moreover, this base had electricity, which was even more unusual.

Therefore, despite the chaos of this gathering point, it concentrated tens of thousands of people.

It was one of the most attractive residences within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

Water, electricity, resources, and population, gathered together, formed a force in the post-apocalyptic world that people yearned for.

The only thing lacking was food.

However, Blood瞳 had already seen this when he jumped out of the car.

On one side of the gathering point, near the foot of the mountain, thousands of terraced fields had been neatly divided.

The surroundings were carefully built with stone walls for wind protection, and the clear water from inside the gathering point was introduced into them, with streams flowing, green fields, and stone walls, creating a beautiful picture that was hard to imagine in the post-apocalyptic world.

It was like a paradise on earth.

“This is……”

“My hometown.” Singer answered in a rough voice, his tone like ancient stone.

“You can call it Shangri-La.”

“Shangri-La……” Blood瞳's eyes lit up.

This strange name came from an ancient legend of the pre-civilization.

It meant a paradise on earth.

Unexpectedly, there was such a land of bliss in this post-apocalyptic world.

Of course, with the scale of the gathering point, it was far from worthy of this name, but it was already enough.

Didn't the people living in the post-apocalyptic world only seek a glimmer of hope?

Although this gathering point was dilapidated, it was the hope of people within a radius of hundreds of kilometers.

The name Shangri-La was well-deserved.

Night… gradually deepened…

There were more and more people in the small bar, listening to the noise and laughter from downstairs.

Blood瞳 looked at the sky.

Although the night was so dark that he couldn't see anything clearly, Blood瞳 knew that endless dark clouds were rolling above his head at this moment.

They were like a layer of deathly barrier, wrapping x35 layer by layer, restricting sunlight and the vitality of human beings.

This was the evil consequence of nuclear war… When would x35 be able to get rid of these dark clouds and see the light of day again?

Thinking of the day when x35 would reappear in green, the corners of Blood瞳's mouth slightly curved up.

He knew… it wasn't far away.

The old wooden door creaked open, and a burly figure walked in.

Blood瞳 didn't even turn his head and asked softly.

“Why aren't you drinking with your friends?”

The person who came in was Singer.

This was his hometown, so he naturally had many friends.

Therefore, since arriving here, he had been grabbed by some strong men and forced to drink, chatting about interesting things after their separation.

It also allowed Blood瞳 to see another side of him.

Unexpectedly, under his cold exterior, he hadn't been completely frozen by the cruelty of the post-apocalyptic world.

He also had a trace of human touch.

But this had nothing to do with Blood瞳.

He was just watching coldly, but he didn't expect Singer to come to him at this time.

It was already midnight, what did he want?

“I know you're not asleep yet.” Singer said hoarsely, and put a large wooden barrel on the wooden table in Blood瞳's room.

With a thud, the wooden table shook repeatedly.

He also threw a large package next to it.

“I brought some wine… and meat.”

“I'm not hungry.” Blood瞳 turned his head and glanced at Singer.

“Speak your mind.”

Singer was not polite, he seemed to know that nonsense was useless in front of Blood瞳.

So he went straight to the point and said.

“I'm here to talk to you about tomorrow's matter.”

“Oh?” Blood瞳 raised an eyebrow.

He knew that the opponent this time was a very powerful mutated beast, but seeing Singer's solemn appearance, he became interested.

It wouldn't hurt to listen to him.

Sure enough, Singer opened his mouth and said.

“The guy we're going to kill tomorrow is very strong.

So I want to make a plan with you.”

“How strong?” A hint of a smile flashed in Blood瞳's eyes.

“Very strong, very strong.” Singer didn't notice Blood瞳's expression and continued to say seriously.

“Strong beyond imagination.

In fact, even if I challenge it this time, I don't have the confidence to win, no, to be precise, I don't have any confidence at all.”

“If you hadn't joined, I would have died.”

“Oh?” Blood瞳 raised an eyebrow.

“Then why do you want to challenge it?”

“I don't have time.” Singer gritted his teeth, and a flash of light flashed in his eyes.

Then he slowly narrated.

Time passed little by little, and Blood瞳 finally knew the origin of the matter.

It turned out that this was indeed not an ordinary mutated beast.

In fact, even Singer himself didn't know how strong or how big this mutated beast was.

He had only seen a corner of this mutated beast when he was a child.

But that corner alone was nearly a thousand meters in size, and it easily destroyed a gathering point on the other side of the mountain range.

At that time, Singer and his mother were living in that gathering point.

He personally saw the huge steel falling from the sky, crushing the tallest building in the gathering point like a heavy hammer.

Countless bullets burst out, shooting the residents of the gathering point to death in a pool of blood.

He was still young at that time, but he witnessed the most cruel hell on earth with his own eyes.

His mother, his friends, were all shot to death by these bullets.

In the end, no one survived in the entire gathering point except him.

He also escaped under his mother's body.

Speaking of the end, Singer slowly pulled open his military uniform, allowing Blood瞳 to see a huge scar on his chest.

This scar was on the right side of his chest, near the heart, and looked like a hideous ghost face.

“At that time, a bullet pierced through me and my mother at the same time.

My mother died at that time.

I survived because my heart was on the left side.

But every time I see this scar, I feel a sharp pain in my heart.”

Singer said calmly, as if he was recounting the past of another person.

“For this mutated beast, I have been training frantically for fifteen years and have been collecting information about it everywhere.

But I haven't gained much.

I just found a legend.”

“What legend?” Blood瞳 asked, narrowing his eyes.

He was finally a little interested in this enemy now.

Just a corner was a thousand meters in size, and it had the power to easily destroy a gathering point and could fire countless bullets.

Could such a thing still be called a mutated beast?

“When the eighteenth blood-colored moon appears, the huge demon will emerge from the ground.

It carries the ancient sins, the thirst for blood, and will spread death again on the earth.

No one can survive in front of it, just like no one can resist the call of the King of Hell.

It is God's punishment, the end of human sins.”

Speaking of this, Singer raised his head and glanced out the window.

“The blood moon is a weather phenomenon unique to x35, occurring once every fifteen years.

I have calculated that in seven days, it will appear again, and that will be the eighteenth blood moon in the post-apocalyptic calendar.”

“It's coming out!”

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ hair!

“Blood Moon?” Blood瞳 was slightly surprised.

He certainly knew about this weather phenomenon, but he didn't know that the blood moon would be linked to this mutated beast.

And that legend… who spread it?

Slightly closing his eyes, Blood瞳 fell into deep thought.

This matter had little to do with him, but since he had promised Singer, he couldn't stay out of it.

What's more, x35 was his hometown.

If that legend was true… such a terrifying mutated beast obviously had the power to destroy the world.

This destruction of the world certainly didn't mean that it could destroy the planet, but according to Singer's description, it was very likely to destroy all life on the planet.

You must know that it destroyed a gathering point with one blow, and it was only a corner of its body.

If it all came out, even the Land of Paradise would be destroyed in an instant.

The entire x35 simply didn't have any universe warriors who could stop it.

As for those troops… they were not worth expecting at all.

Feeling the cold night wind outside the window, Blood瞳 sighed.

Could it be that x35 would always be accompanied by disaster and ruins?

Thinking of this, a cold light flashed in Blood瞳's eyes, and a surge of anger welled up.

“What do you plan to do?

If it's really as you said, you definitely can't be its opponent alone.

And why don't you seek help from the Bloody Parliament?”

“No one believes my words.” Singer smiled bitterly and lowered his head.

“No one believes that there will be such a powerful mutated beast.

What's more, in the post-apocalyptic world, everyone lives to live, who would pay attention to the demons hidden under their feet?”

“Then why do you want to challenge it?”

“Because I have to do it!” Singer replied decisively.

“My mother, my friends, were all destroyed by it.

I will never forget that bloody night.

I woke up in a pool of blood.

My body was covered in blood, it was my mother's blood.

Then I saw my mother's eyes, a pair of white, fish-like eyes.

In those eyes, there was no familiar warmth, only strange deathly white.

I was very scared at that time, but now that I think about it, it was a revelation, that is, I must face it again.

Return to that fateful place.”

“Because this is the meaning of my survival.”

Sense of responsibility…

At this moment, Blood瞳 suddenly realized that this was what Singer wanted to say.

He survived that night of destruction, but he carried this blood debt on his shoulders.

So these years, he has been thinking about going back all the time.

It was as if an invisible force was driving him.

Perhaps in the eyes of most people, this was a demon, a morbid manifestation of a person going to extremes.

But in Blood瞳's eyes, this actually had another meaning.

Persistence… or paranoia.

“It's ridiculous, isn't it?” Singer lowered his head, poured a glass of wine from the large wooden barrel he had just taken out, and drank it down in gulps.

Then he wiped his mouth.

“But this is what I think, I'm not a savior, and I don't want to be a savior.

But I just want to go back, back to that bloody night, grab that damn mutated beast from the ground, take a look at its appearance with my own eyes, and then break its head.

Put it in front of my mother's grave.

Let it also see that deathly white.”

“That is the white of fear… the white of death.”

“Now is the time to return it to it.”
