So you subconsciously define these people's life forms as "human."
[68 years old: For some reason, the nobles of this city suddenly became very kind.]
[The residents of the settlement all thought their consciences had been restored!]
[This scene is surprisingly similar to the happy ending of the story of the little match girl.]
The first nobleman was "kind-hearted."
Thus, the residents of Giant Rock City and the refugees from outside tasted the fragrant and delicious food they hadn't tasted for a long time, and every bite was filled with the satisfaction of this sudden happiness.
The second nobleman is "a surge of kindness."
The residents and refugees put on new and good-looking clothes, which warmed their bodies and hearts.
The third nobleman is "Compassion is fully manifested."
Parents who had lost their children in the city, and husbands who had lost their wives, were pleasantly surprised to find that their long-missed loved ones had returned safe and sound.
On the day the three nobles performed their "good deed," it felt as if Giant Rock City had welcomed a grand festival.
People were filled with gratitude and spontaneously held a grand bonfire party.
[Beside the blazing bonfire, everyone ate the "food" given by the nobles and drank the fragrant "wine."]
【Laughter and joy echoed in the night sky, and everyone's face was filled with happiness and joy, as if all the suffering had become a thing of the past.】
[And those "nobles" stood quietly by, watching the crowd immersed in joy.]
[From their eyes, drops of scarlet tears quietly slid down.]
[That is the last trace of their original selves left within this body, silently telling a secret unknown to others.]
70 years old: Good luck.
After countless days and nights of unremitting efforts, good news finally arrived—within a hundred miles of Giant Rock City, no one would die of hunger anymore.
[Hearing this exciting news, a relieved and happy smile appeared on your tired face.]
【"Very good!"】
[These three simple words are filled with your hard work and dedication over the years.]
[At this moment, all the hardships turned into a full sense of accomplishment.]
Volume 1: Chapter 22: Towards the Abyss
【certainly. 】
[Your side is "developing" better and better, but some places are quietly becoming weird.]
This planet is like a complex puzzle, not only with barren lands symbolizing savagery, but also with prosperous areas full of civilization.
【Tianwei Alliance! 】
[An orderly organization established by many survivors gathering together.]
【Snapped! 】
[Accompanied by a document being slammed hard on the table.]
[A rather rugged-looking old man could no longer contain his rage and began to roar.]
"Look! Take a good look!"
"It's only been a few short years, and yet so many monsters and demons have appeared!"
[For a moment, everyone present was silent, and the conference room was filled with a depressing atmosphere.]
[That document clearly records the relevant information about the "Stand-in" and the "Greedy" Fate Walker.]
[Now, because of the existence of Giant Rock City, these strange things have spread here. ]
If it wasn't an accident.
[No one knew that such a thing had appeared here! ]
[And until now, they still don't know how many strange things called "stand-ins" are hidden among them.]
The old man suddenly stood up, his hands firmly on the table, his eyes wide open, his gaze glaring at everyone present.
[It was as if he wanted to use this sharp gaze to completely burn away the cowardice in their hearts.]
"What did we promise the people before? We vowed to give them a safe and stable home, but what about now? What has happened?"
In the crowd, a young man wearing glasses looked a little flustered, his lips trembling slightly as he stammered:
"But... these things are so weird! They're impossible to kill, and if you're not careful you'll be parasitized..."
[As he finished speaking, the entire conference room fell into a dead silence.]
[Everyone knows that all the flesh and blood inside was devoured by the "stand-in".]
[Then watching those plants, wearing their own skins, walking among familiar people, just thinking about it makes people feel extremely twisted and terrified.]
[They will never forget the horrific scenes related to the information.]
[In a small community, everyone has turned into monsters with only skin.]
[And the densely packed bones in the merchant's basement, those are silent screams, the horrific witness of the loss of life.]
【If it weren't for various accidents. 】
[They don’t even dare to imagine what will happen next! ]
"What about thermal imaging and X-ray detection? Can they detect their traces?" someone suggested.
"It's useless!" A man in a white coat who looked like a researcher shook his head helplessly.
"Those monsters mimic the features of normal creatures. Unless you do a direct blood test, it's impossible to tell them apart..."
What's the principle behind this?
[Boy! Destiny power!]
The old man took a deep breath and tried to calm himself, but the bulging veins on his forehead clearly showed that the anger in his heart had not yet been extinguished.
"We can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to come up with a practical solution."
His gaze swept across everyone's faces, finally landing on a tall, middle-aged man with a resolute gaze.
"Old Chen, take a team and thoroughly investigate the origins of these monsters. Be sure to pay attention to safety!"
Old Chen nodded slightly, his expression serious and earnest: "Understood. I will definitely bring back the news as soon as possible."
【Then the old man turned his gaze to the young man wearing glasses.】
"Xiao Zhou, work with the research team to find an effective method to identify these monsters, even if it's just a preliminary basis for judgment."
Xiao Zhou pushed up his glasses. Although a hint of fear still lingered in his eyes, he still responded firmly, "Okay, I'll do my best."
[On the surface, this old man's judgment seems very reasonable.]
【However, he overlooked one crucial thing. 】
[For those who walk the path of greed and gluttony, the root cause of their embarking on this path lies in the word "greed."]
[At this moment, in a corner that the old man didn't notice, a handsome man was swallowing his saliva.]
[A strange light flickered in his eyes, a strong desire for the power in the old man's hands!]
"Almost! This old guy is about to die!"
73 years old: I don’t know when you started keeping a diary.
[Early this morning, as usual, you wrote in your diary: "Nothing to do today..."]
[However, you have no idea that in a distant place, a group of people are controlling weapons capable of destroying everything, and are pointing their guns at this place.]
The power contained in that weapon seemed to be able to instantly destroy all life within a radius of hundreds of miles centered on Giant Rock City.
[At this moment, you looked at the happy scene in Giant Rock City, and a relieved smile appeared on your face.]
[In your opinion, the people in this area have received enough help, and it's time to set off to other places to help more survivors.]
[After all, you've already learned the locations of other survivor gathering places on this continent from a passing merchant.]
【So you decided to rescue them from the sea of suffering! 】
[And just as you were immersed in such thoughts——]
【"boom!"】
[A loud noise, like the roar of a god in rage.]
[A weapon carrying the power of destruction fell from the sky without any warning!]
At that moment, everyone in the core area of Giant Rock City felt as if their souls were struck by this terrifying force like never before, as if they had seen their own grandmother.
[Even you, facing this devastating force, your flesh and bones began to dissolve, leaving you completely powerless to resist.]
Soon, there was no one left alive here. The once prosperous Giant Rock City instantly turned into a dead and silent ruin.
【“The ‘Salvation’ plan has been completed!”】
[A pilot flying a bomber in the sky witnessed all this and quickly reported it to the command center.]
【"receive!"】
[A terse response came from the command center.]
But is this really over?
[Boy! Abundant divine power!]
All the "people" in Giant Rock City felt themselves gradually merging into the earth, their bodies slowly dissipating as if being swallowed by the earth.
[The flesh and blood of even more people were vaporized by the heat, transforming into an unknown mist that began to merge into the sky, then slowly entered the rain layer.]
【at that moment.】
[Part of them became the sky, and part of them became the earth!]
[The plan called "saving the world" not only failed to save the world, but instead stepped on the accelerator again for this already mad world, causing it to rush into an even more twisted abyss!]
Volume 1: Chapter 23: Is this not over yet?
[Er 0IV9 Sans, 74 years old: You open your eyes again from an unknown state.]
Somewhere in the unknown, Bai Ge slowly opened his eyes, his eyes once again filled with clear stupidity.
He stood there in a daze, his thoughts like drifting clouds, difficult to condense.
who I am? where am I? What am I doing?
He just stood there blankly in the center of a huge pit, and then his memories came back like a tide.
"why?"
Bai Ge doesn’t understand!
He has been saving people all the time!
He gave the dying a plan to live again, he gave the sick better health, and he made the people of a city no longer hungry...
But why does the world treat him like this!
What did he do wrong!
Bai Ge thought so.
Drops of sad tears flowed from his eyes.
If he really did something wrong.
You should punish yourself!
The people in this gathering place for survivors, and the disciples he took in, they are all innocent!
Bai Ge's tears fell on the charred land and were instantly absorbed by the dry earth, leaving no trace.
He slowly raised his head and looked at the sky, which was still blue but seemed to have a strange aura.
The pain in his heart was like a sharp knife, cutting his soul again and again.
