Author: Captain of the Youth First Crazy Squad
Most of the brave people and responsible people have died. Of course, the rest cannot be said to be all garbage. After all, it is only the first round of elimination. There should also be people who were forced by their families to flee.
But in terms of character, spirit, and their own value in this crisis-ridden world, they are generally weaker than the deceased victims.
And fleeing with a team that was mixed with a lot of selected crooked melons and jujubes, it was really.... His stomach started to hurt just thinking about it.
"But the biggest question is how to keep these people alive..."
He took out a stack of blood-stained photos from the inner pocket of his jacket, and looked at the unfamiliar young man in the photo, his troubles multiplied again invisibly.
Things have developed to this stage, and then maybe it will be a bad conference?
Although it may not be staged at the beginning, after all, there should still be some people with a sense of justice on the other side, but after a while this reverse elimination continues, in the end, only a group of scumbags will naturally remain, and it is possible to say that scumbags It's not very accurate, but it can be said to be a group of hopelessly selfish people, and there shouldn't be too many problems.
Because if you are simply worried about small things, and you simply feel that there is someone who can never die, it is absolutely impossible to persevere to the end.
In principle, this is a voluntary sacrifice, but the nature of this volunteer will inevitably change in the later stage. After all, considering the actual situation, it is fundamentally impossible to rely on volunteers in the middle and later stages.
What should we do in this case? As a hero, will Utano go to forcibly make sacrifices? It's impossible...
It is unrealistic to want Song Ye to control the situation. Song Ye is very powerful and has inspired the masses, but in the final analysis he is still just a child.
Even if she does her best to control the situation, there is a limit to what a person can do, and after human beings are freed from legal constraints, a considerable part will undoubtedly become a beast-like existence. Human beings themselves are not without experiments.
It is human nature to do things that are beneficial to oneself. Many times, in order to "self-interest", they will unknowingly "harm others".
If there are several children who don't know each other and will fall down if they don't eat without the guidance and education of adults, will they first think about sharing it with others? Or will they go up to grab the monopoly regardless?
The result is self-evident, foraging is the instinct of all animals, including humans, because this is one of the instincts of survival, it seems that it is not very appropriate to say that it is a villain... But it must not be said to be good. .
And what will this survival instinct evolve into here? It is inevitable to use everything to the extreme. What will happen to the struggle between abiding by the bottom line and having no bottom line?
It is said that chaotic times use heavy codes, but Song Ye has no way to kill people, and it is not that she is incompetent. She is only a fourteen-year-old child after all, and the most important thing is that her status as a hero restricts her from attacking people. Kind leadership In the case of overall peace, a leader like Ming Junke naturally lacks sufficient control in an extremely chaotic situation.
In a more cruel environment than nature, what kind of people can survive? By benevolence?
No, it's a guy who abandons benevolence and any kind of mercy and can sacrifice other people.
Among them, there is also a very critical factor - those who are willing to pay and stand up for others have been eliminated in the first few rounds. The timid, cowardly, afraid of death, unwilling to die, and abide by benevolence and morality, Those who do not want to die for some reason will naturally become a minority, and such people will naturally become the targets of cooperating scumbags to deal with and sacrifice, and then they will fight and consume each other internally, pushing the losers out.
Song Ye's role in this process is very limited. Can the villain's face write that I am a bad person? It is also a big problem for her to accurately distinguish lies. won't work as it should.
But....except for the children who confirmed that they should be the children of people who voluntarily sacrificed for their children, the others have nothing to do with him. Anyway, the core of this disaster lies in Utano. According to Shikoku's plan itself, Suwa was abandoned. Saving one more now is a pleasant surprise.
It may also feel troublesome.... Because there are too many people in Shikoku, I was only prepared to wait for Suwa to perish, and then express my regrets to people. The most and only thing I want is Utano Shiratori, and everyone else is actually is an unnecessary burden.
....................
....................
the other side.
Due to the small number of stardust, the death toll of the cyclists was kept in double digits under the cover of Utano's protection and volunteers.
However, this still broke the record of zero casualties for Ueno.
Once the three-year record is broken, it will inevitably make the people of this team feel a little bit nervous, and their confidence in Shiratori Utano has also been shaken a little... There is no way to judge the quality and behavior, this team lost an average of one or even a little bit. several grades.
Those long-lost complaints and those who firmly stand on Ueno's side, it is inevitable that there will be quarrels, but Ueno just feels helpless.
Even if there are only 30% or 40% of the people, she really didn't protect them well.
There is no way to do this. After all, in the past, she would send people to shelters and underground when the star debris attacked. Now everyone is on the surface, and they are still running in the direction of the small number of star debris, and the number is more than normal. I don't know how many times there are more people, she is really more than enough.
For the criticisms and accusations that gradually appeared in the crowd, we could only close our eyes and endure silently, and unswervingly continued to lead the people to flee far away, trying not to waste everything the deceased paid for them.
"Gong Nong..." Shuidu, who was struggling to pedal a bicycle beside Song Ye, looked at her dignified face, and listened to the criticism hidden in the crowd, and her face also changed. Oh no.
But Song Ye didn't care, and even smiled at her as usual: "It's okay."
"Well....I trust you."
Shui Duo didn't ask what was okay, whether the team was okay or she was okay, she believed that Song Ye's words would be okay.
For her trust, Song Ye also nodded gratified, and quickly ran to the front to explore the way for everyone.
In the oppressive atmosphere, the mighty bicycle queue moved forward without delay for a moment, but the speed of bicycles was faster, and some sections were completely destroyed, even bicycles could not pass, people could only Carry the bike across as fast as possible.
And until the next day... They were more than 50 kilometers away from Suwa, but Luo Mo did not appear on their side, but the crowd had been divided twice as the stardust approached.
On the third day, the crowd that was still quite large had been divided four times. During this period, there was even a lot of fights because no one was willing to take the initiative to be the bait.
Many people rely on force to force others to leave. Even if they commit suicide, like bullying on campus, many people will not perish together. Of course, the situation is definitely different.
But this time, the people who were forced away did not bring another group of people to die together. Maybe it was because Song Ye didn't want to be involved in helping them, or it could be another reason, but no one knew what it was.
For these Ge Ye, she is powerless to stop them, because she has no way to supervise everyone by herself, and she also needs to rest, but things also appear in her supervision blind spots, and she can't even tell the difference between two people with the same scars but speaking diametrically opposite words. Which one is telling the truth?
.................
In order to maintain the gradually chaotic team, and because of the different atmosphere that gradually became sinister in the past, as well as people's intrigue and mutual hurt behavior, in just three days Shiratori Utano was already haggard, and even suffered a lot of injuries from fighting against Stardust. A smile full of confidence cannot be sustained with or without confidence that must be done.
The most common thing to do is to look back from time to time, expecting the "Angel" to catch up with their team with the usual smile.
But no matter how many times she looked back, she couldn't see anything except for the occasional star dust that came up... Ruined cities, flooded ruins, burnt remains, bones everywhere—everything. Hope seems to have disappeared from this land, only despair and death are all over the land.
Even when he continued to move forward, he passed through Nagoya, which was once very prosperous, and found the collapsed buildings, the roads buried under the ruins, and the surrounding walls. The entire city was covered with countless huge eggs.
The outer surface of the egg is pure white like the star dust, but there is something crawling inside, obviously there is something hidden inside... This scene is creepy.
Similarly, those giant eggs that cover most of the city and squirm from time to time also make people feel biologically disgusted by this instinct.
Monsters sprang up one after another from nowhere, and the mystery of growing with terrifying momentum was finally solved.... It's not that God is idle and boring to create them, but that they can reproduce without limit by themselves.
- No doubt, it was the eggs of stardust.
Everyone can't wait to smash these eggs to pieces, and they will be completely smashed into ashes, but Song Ye didn't even have the energy to destroy them, so he could only continue to move forward with the crowd whose atmosphere was not as good as before.
"That guy... won't die so easily?"
The person who was supposed to share the difficulties with Luo Mo's loss of contact made her extremely worried, but the long road ahead did not allow her to stop. She could only look at the person beside her with frustration and pain. Everyone sighed and numbly continued to assume the responsibility of the hero.
.................
.................
The team full of sacrifices continued to move forward, but it was only on the sixth day.... On the eighth split, it finally ushered in the disaster.
It's not that no one can disperse, but the people who were forced to leave finally couldn't bear to be sacrificed, and they deliberately turned around and ran with all their strength to intercept the fleeing team.
As a result, the countless star dust that covered the sky directly attacked Song Ye's escape team.
Shuidu, who seemed to have expected this scene, walked over to Ueno and hugged her silently. Even though he tried to restrain his inner emotions, tears still came out of his eyes.
Even though the heroes have superhuman physical strength, Uta's exhaustion has reached the limit these days, and the injuries all over the body are very conspicuous, which really makes her feel distressed at the same time...
"There was a new oracle just now...it is said to be the last oracle..."
"Don't cry, A Shui." Ue Ye hugged Suido with an embarrassed smile, and asked the sobbing Suido softly: "It's fine with any oracle, and I will definitely solve the problem this time."
"...Guarding Suwa for three years, holding back the enemy and making Shikoku lay the cornerstone to fight the enemy. It's really hard work, and we will become heroic spirits or something... God means that this time we... ..Dead...."
"Really? I think so too." Song Ye nodded with a distressed smile, looking at the countless monsters, there was really no way to deny it, he just hugged Shuiduo a little harder and said, "But you won't. Die, I will block them, you can go now while you are."
"Why can you say such things at will!? Are you not afraid?! Or do you think I can easily leave you behind?!"
"No... Of course I'm very scared. How can I not be afraid of fighting monsters like that every day, but I definitely don't want to stand by and watch others die in front of my eyes with trembling... Especially people I know die, so I more terrifying."
With a gradually deformed smile, Ueno showed obvious fear on his face but clenched Suzuto's hand tightly.
"Gong Nong... You are so stupid..." The determination conveyed in Song Ye's heart made Shuidu's heart lose its balance, and tears flowed out of his eyes again.
... Just when the two looked at each other as if they were dying lovers, the atmosphere was thick, but suddenly there was a voice that was very inconsistent with the atmosphere.
"I'm sorry~ I can ask you to be a little bit more respectful at this time. Don't make the oranges look a little bit more respectful to others and stardust?" Luo Mo, who had disappeared for five days, got out of nowhere and looked helplessly. The girls sighed as they embraced each other intimately.
"You—??!" Ge Ye's eyes widened and subconsciously reached out to him, but he was speechless for a while, but he casually put her hand away, reached out and poked the wound on her shoulder lightly, Knowingly, he asked: "Yo~ I haven't seen you for a while, how have you been doing recently?"
"Hey...! What are you doing!? Of course it's not good at all!!" The girl who took a deep breath instinctively avoided and glared at him.
"Is that so? That's really a pity, but I'm actually doing pretty well? I also found that well-preserved cans can still be eaten even after the expiration date has passed!"
"...Are you here to make fun of me?"
"Do I look so bored?"
"Aren't you that kind of person? And where have you been in these 5 days!?"
Despite the tight time, Song Ye couldn't help but want to get angry at him suddenly disappearing, but Luo Mo waved his hand casually with a calm look on his face:
"I didn't go anywhere, I just took in some people who I liked, well... Although there are not many, they are the first two or three people, but there are also more than 160 people, just a little bit more than you here. A little more, so let's hurry to the other side, shall we?"
"But the people here..."
"Just leave it to me. The people I protect are in this subway. You will definitely be able to see them if you catch up." He threw away the current map of the city, which he specially marked on it. area.
"...Is there really more than one hundred and sixty?"
"Do you still doubt me at this time? Okay, you'll be happy, but if you go late, they will all have to feed stardust, and the water may die... How do you decide to think for yourself."
As he spoke, a large amount of star debris was already blowing towards his face, and the surrounding survivors also subconsciously moved towards them, but he just had to lift it up, and the huge rock wall immediately rose to the ground, forming a semicircle to wrap them all inside.
--boom! boom! The impact of the star debris appeared in the next moment as if it were seamlessly connected.
Even if Luo Mo didn't say anything, the constant crashing sound and the dust falling from the rock wall made Ge Ye no longer able to tangle.
"—I'll go first! You must catch up this time! Otherwise I won't forgive you easily!"
For this group of people who had been completely chilled, Ge Ye clenched his teeth and stomped his feet or chose to take the first step, let the water hug her from behind and hang on her, and then smashed the rock wall with a whip and rushed out.
"Finally out! Hurry up... Hey!? Where are you going!?"
"You left us and ran away by yourself?!"
"Please, please, please! Don't abandon us!"
"—This kid is really unreliable! What bastard hero! Didn't he escape by himself in the end?!"
"Don't go! Lord Song Ye! Come back soon, we need you!"
....................
At the moment Song Ye broke through the wall, the people around were as happy as if they were reborn after a catastrophe, but then they found that Song Ye's face was unbearable, but he broke through the siege with the water on his back, not as usual. To protect their plans.
This also made them angry, either scolding or begging him to bring them, but... no matter how they said they couldn't get the answer they wanted, they couldn't catch up at all if they wanted to.
Another hope.... It is said that Luo Mo, who is said to be an angel, betrayed their expectations more simply, waved at them with a smile, and turned more ruthlessly and ran away.
Obviously - all of them have become the bait this time.
"no, do not want!"
"—Wow ah ah ah ah!!"
The despair that the people who were forced to leave before were forced to feel, at this moment, appeared in their hearts.
The tragic state of the eaten companions and the pain of the white alien creatures eating themselves made the screams of pain resound through the earth in an instant.
"—No, no...no! Why!? Why?! I should live! I should be the ultimate survivor!!!"
The real leader of the previous team, a strong man staring at the approaching stardust, the fear of death shook his whole body...
It didn't take long, the only traces of their existence on the earth were the human skeletons that had been eaten up.
No pity, no grief, only stardust....on their remains lay their eggs.
.............
.............
Luo Mo really doesn't want to do thankless things. Although those monsters are not good, they are not really weak, or they also have extremely outstanding advantages.
Through these years of observation and research, he can see that the defense of Stardust is low, but the attack is still possible.
The armored vehicle is like potato chips, the high-speed impact of the power after the flight, and the two strong and strange crosses in front of the front teeth can directly make the wall become like a paper paste, and the whole is a violent demolition team.
The most important thing is of course the number. There are too many to count, and the number of them is really life-threatening. If you fight against so many opponents alone, in case a fish slips through the net and accidentally bites or bumps it a few times, he feels that he is not very good. Tolerable.
So...he naturally gave up on those people decisively, maybe there were good people hidden deep in them, but he didn't have that kind of time to care about them.
Of course, it's not just this matter, he also deceived Song Ye in the number of the other half of the survivors.
In fact, he only saved sixteen people, and there was no way...it was really troublesome to carry too many people, and the special distance was quite long.
But Shiratori Utano caught up with him. Even though he knew he was being lied to, he unexpectedly didn't waste time condemning him. He just let out a sigh, and everyone in the team moved on without a word.
Now that the number of people has dropped sharply, their goals have become much smaller than before, and the atmosphere in the team has become much better.
Everything seems to be heading in a good direction, even miraculously not being attacked too much along the way, slightly detouring to the direction of Shikoku, after half a month of biking and walking, they were shocked. Without danger, we arrived at Awaji Island, the island before Shikoku.
