Even so, this persistence will become meaningless when the final destruction comes!

The dilapidated streets were covered with frost, and one could vaguely see many equally broken bodies.

There are fully armed soldiers and plain-dressed civilians; there are burly men and short children; there are gorgeous girls and wrinkled old men...

Regardless of their identities, genders, or ages... their bodies lay so peacefully in the corner of this dead city.

As the snow fell, their cities and their civilization were gradually buried.

I had a cold the past few days and I was fine, but I got a relapse today. I have typed more than 2,000 words and I really can't stand it anymore. Please excuse me for a day. I will make up for it tomorrow.

Chapter 242: Are you survivors?

"What on earth happened here?!" Standing on the deserted street, Xing stared at the fallen figures in a daze. Although she was born not long ago, she could still see that there was something abnormal about these corpses.

Compared to the soldiers outside the city who were obviously killed by the enemy, the deaths of these people in the city were much stranger. They did not have any wounds on their bodies, and the expressions on their faces were still frozen at the moment before they died...

Joy, eagerness, worry, sorrow, anxiety, anger... but there was no pain or panic! It was as if everyone was killed at the same moment, and even until they died, they did not realize that they were attacked, let alone that they were already dead!

In the entire city, Xing didn't see even a drop of blood, except for frost all over the ground!

Faced with such a strange situation, let alone Xing, even the well-informed San Yue Qi couldn't help but shrink his body: "Hiss~ Killing so many people in one breath, does Xing He have such a terrible method?"

Looking around, Dan Heng walked towards the roadside. A girl in a crimson jumpsuit was standing in the corner, holding a bunch of bright rainbow flowers in her arms and a piece of letter paper in her stiff hands. She had a happy smile on her face and looked very happy... but she had been frozen in this moment forever!

After raising his hand to examine it briefly, Dan Heng silently withdrew his palm: "Because of the temperature, the time of death cannot be accurately observed, but it will not exceed two or three days at most!"

"Two or three days..." After a pause, San Yue Qi couldn't help biting his lower lip, his eyes revealing pain and regret: "In other words, if we could have come three days earlier, maybe..."

You know, the Star Train was originally scheduled to leave the Black Tower Space Station and head for Yalilo VI three days ago!

If she and Xing hadn't suddenly become 'players' and were obsessed with helping to complete tasks in the space station to earn rewards, and hadn't specifically asked Jizi and the others to leave later, they should have arrived here three days ago!

At that time, they would be able to catch up with the disaster! With the strength of the train crew, not to mention directly solving the disaster brought by the star core, no matter what, the entire city would not be destroyed...

"Blame me……"

"No, this is not your responsibility!" He raised his hand to stop San Yue Qi from blurting out the self-blaming words. Facing the corpses all over the city, Yu Qi's expression was very calm. He shook his head and said, "No one can know what will happen in the future. Even the Star God can't make everything go according to his own ideas."

"And, to be honest, even if you and Xing didn't tell me, I would have offered to stay for two more days..."

"but……"

"Alright!" Shaking his head, Lei Dianzhen walked over and touched San Yueqi's head: "No one wants to see something like this happen, but this is fate!"

"Just like in the universe, there are countless planets and countless civilizations that are being attacked by the antimatter army, harassed by the people of abundance, eaten by the insect swarm, and heading for extinction due to star cores and various natural disasters. We are also powerless to stop these things, let alone save those who are about to die. This is not the fault of anyone, and it is not our responsibility!"

"Then, is it the Star God's fault?" Xing slowly raised her head, the white snowflakes fell on her cheeks, bringing a touch of coldness. She asked in a daze: "Nanook of Destruction, why did He do this? Or is this actually the world's fault? !"

"..." The atmosphere was a little depressing for a moment. Facing Xing's gaze, Sanyueqi and Danheng didn't know how to start. After a long silence, Yu Qi finally came over and said, "When you have a chance, you can ask Him yourself why he did something."

“But, Star, you must remember that the vision, cognition, and concepts of the Star Gods are ultimately different from those of ordinary beings like us.” Looking up at the sky, Yu Qi’s gaze seemed to penetrate time and space, and met a pair of cold golden eyes: “What we think is wrong may be right for the Star Gods, and even right for the universe itself…”

"..." He exhaled a breath of white air, and a mist appeared in front of his eyes. His star-gold eyes showed deep confusion, as if the world in front of him was completely covered by the mist, and he couldn't see the way forward at all: "Then, what should we do? If what he did is really correct from the perspective of the universe, we..."

“Hehe… So, why do you have to think so much?” With a slight smile, Yu Qi raised his hand and rubbed the confused little gray cat. His gentle voice fell into Xing’s ears, but it was so loud: “Don’t care about other people’s opinions. Right and wrong are just conclusions drawn by everyone from different perspectives! Remember, you are you, and Star Gods are Star Gods. Their right and wrong have nothing to do with you!”

"If the act of "destroying" Nanuk makes you unhappy, then go find Him and give Him a good beating to vent your anger! If you can't do it now, then continue to grow and "open up" such a future!"

Taking his hand back, Yu Qi looked at Xing's gradually brightening eyes and said, "This could be your ending, or it could be Nanook's ending! Use your own will to open up your future!"

"Use your own will to explore..." The confusion in his eyes completely dissipated, Xing took a deep breath, and his originally sluggish spirit was revived: "I know!"

"One day, I will walk up to Nanook and give him a hard beating with a baseball bat! Not for the humans on this planet, nor for other civilizations in the universe destroyed by the antimatter army, but because, I! Am! Not! Happy!"

"Well, I'm looking forward to seeing that day!" Looking at Xing who was clenching his fists with high spirits, Yu Qi nodded and said nothing more.

Turning around and looking, his gaze passed through the ancient and majestic castle not far away and looked at the towering snow-capped mountains on the other side of the city.

There, the star core unscrupulously releases its own power filled with the breath of "destruction", which is violent and terrifying. However, even in this power that is enough to completely annihilate any ordinary life form, there is a little dim breath of life, weak and dead, like a candle in the wind that may be completely extinguished at any time in the storm of destruction.

The most important thing is that the distance between that breath and the star core is only one step away!

'The only survivor? Or, the one whose mind was controlled by the star core and caused all this?'

His eyes flickered, and Yu Qi took a deep breath: "Let's go and recycle the star core first. As for the matter of this city, we can discuss it with Ji Zi later!"

"It should be so!" Dan Heng nodded slightly. After all, if the star core was allowed to continue to radiate its power, no one knew what kind of disaster it would cause.

Seeing this, Sanyueqi and Xing looked at each other and nodded slowly: "...Okay!"

As they moved forward, Yu Qi and his companions passed by lifelike corpses with expressionless faces. It took them several hours to get out of the main urban area with complex terrain and come to an abandoned urban area that must have been eroded by the rift.

From here on, the bodies of ordinary people were obviously much less, and were replaced by soldiers wearing blue and white uniforms and holding various weapons in their hands. Their bodies were torn into pieces, just like the thousands of soldiers outside the city.

'Compared to the people who were killed without any sense in the city, are they sad or happy? ' Yu Qi looked down at the corpse at his feet, with only half of the head left and a bloody face that still showed a hideous look. He didn't know whether he was sighing or lamenting.

Compared to dying in ignorance, perhaps dying honorably at the hands of the enemy is the best outcome for these soldiers!

Walking through the passage built with mechanisms, passing through the numerous steel gates, and climbing up the steps along the layers of dilapidated steel platforms, Yu Qi and his companions finally arrived at the far north where the cold wave was raging, and came to this ancient battlefield where no one had been able to set foot for who knows how long.

Perhaps because they were closer to the core of the star, the surrounding wind and snow were not as fierce as before. When Yu Qi and his companions arrived at the snowy ridge on the outskirts of the city, the sky unexpectedly cleared up for the rare time.

The fading light made the dark clouds in the distance appear especially scarlet, just like the mountains of corpses and seas of blood that Yu Qi and his companions had seen along the way.

However, even though the sky had cleared up, the temperature around him did not rise at all. Instead, it became even more biting. Even San Yueqi could not help but shiver: "… so… so cold! With just a little bit of development power, I can no longer resist the low temperature…"

Nodding, Dan Heng's body was covered with a layer of light green light, and he was using his own strength to resist the surrounding cold wave: "This means that we are approaching the core of the star... the center of the cold wave."

Walking through a ruin, a strange ice sculpture suddenly appeared before his eyes. Its hideous appearance frightened San Yue Qi so much that he shuddered again: "What the hell is this... Oh, it's so scary!"

"Like an insect trapped in amber..." After taking a closer look, Yu Qi came to the conclusion: "It looks like the virtual soldiers of the Antimatter Legion may have been caught in the sudden outbreak of extreme cold when they invaded here, and have been frozen until now."

Suppressing his disgust, San Yue Qi also approached and took a look at the ice sculpture. He couldn't help but gloat: "Hehe, when the minions of the Antimatter Army invaded this world, they certainly didn't expect that they would be swallowed by the cold wave."

"But are these guys in the ice still alive? Looking at their appearance, I always feel like they are still alive."

"It sounds very similar to someone's situation." Xing joked, "Why not give it a name, how about calling it July 3rd?"

San Yue Qi resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said, "Go away, it's already this late and you're still in the mood to joke..."

The fight diluted the heavy atmosphere among the crowd and they continued to move forward. The remains of the virtual soldiers they saw along the way were countless. The frozen remains of the virtual soldiers were scattered all over the mountain road. Even such a brutal legion could not resist the power of the cold wave.

If it were any other time, everyone might have stopped and carefully observed these legion members, discussing their feelings when they were engulfed by the cold wave caused by the "star core".

but now……

"Wow~" Looking up at the huge building in front of him, Lei Dianzhen couldn't help but exclaimed: "Is this the relic left behind by the humans of this civilization? It's really spectacular!"

A huge steel structure loomed over the mountain road, and below it were countless broken iron plates, paving a road leading to the top of the mountain. Faintly, they seemed to be able to see the corpses solidified by ice and snow, from who knows how many years ago - the remains of human soldiers.

"This place..." As his eyes swept across the corpses, Yu Qi thought of the frozen soldiers on the mountain road below, and couldn't help but exclaimed: "The war at that time must have been extremely tragic."

"But..." Looking up at the huge building above, Sanyueqi scratched his head: "Don't you think this thing looks a bit like a giant hand?"

"It's not a resemblance, it's a palm!" Looking at the machine with frost hanging on its head, Yu Qi said casually: "Do you remember what Mr. Walter told me before coming here?"

"You mean..." Because of the series of events before, San Yueqi could still remember the things before the departure. Now, after hearing what Yu Qi said, he suddenly realized: "Is this the robot that Uncle Yang mentioned? These are too big, right?"

"It's not big, how can it be called a super robot!"

Passing through the mechanical palm, there is a towering platform on the top of the mountain. The steps are littered with the remains of frozen virtual soldiers, with ferocious faces as they charge towards a corner of the platform.

Looking in the direction where the virtual soldiers were charging, a shattered wreckage appeared in everyone's sight.

The thick cables were broken and scattered randomly on the ground. Large pieces of steel debris piled up together, and their original appearance could be vaguely seen - a device that was supposed to be used as a cage to restrain an object.

And the thing that should be bound...

"Look! The core of the star!" With a serious expression, March Seven exclaimed, subconsciously stretched out his hand to summon his weapon, and looked warily at the golden sphere that was constantly overflowing with violent energy that was almost condensed into substance.

As pioneers, they are very familiar with this thing!

"Be careful!" With the cloud-strike appearing in his hand, Dan Heng took the initiative to step forward and block San Yueqi and the others behind him.

A layer of gilded shield appeared on everyone, and at the same time, a brilliant purple halo also appeared.

The power in his body continued to surge, but Yu Qi's gaze did not look at the star core that made everyone on high alert. Instead, he looked towards the pile of ruins on the ground. A tall figure was lying there quietly, as if dead!

As if aware of the noise made by the crowd, the figure slowly moved his head, and his empty eyes met Yu Qi's gaze. In an instant, Yu Qi seemed to see unprecedented surprise, fear and sadness blooming in those eyes.

"You... are survivors?!" She tried to support her body while trembling, but she was too weak to even move. She could only let out a low sob and howl from her throat.

"Are you survivors?!"

Chapter 243: The Dying Girl

Her voice was low and hoarse. Perhaps because she was too weak, it was as faint as the hum of a mosquito. The moment it came out of her mouth, it was completely swallowed up by the howling cold wind around her.

Fortunately, everyone present had very good hearing, so even though the sound was very faint, they still noticed it.

"Ah~ There's someone?!" Startled by the hoarse voice, Xing turned his eyes and soon saw the figure lying beside the ruins.

Xing instinctively took a step forward and was ready to rescue her, but just as he took a step, he was blocked by Dan Heng holding a gun in front of him.

"Be careful!" Dan Heng looked at the figure warily. Although the other party appeared to be extremely weak and so weak that she seemed unable to even move a finger, Dan Heng still remained extremely alert to her.

after all……

"This is where the star core is. How could humans be safe and sound under such a concentrated force? Even the people in that city have died, so how could she survive?"

Glancing at the figure with his sharp eyes, Dan Heng's main attention was still on the star core: "I suspect that she might be the culprit that caused the death of the entire city's human beings!"

"Wait, what did you say... Beloberg's people... what happened to them?!" As if hearing something unbelievable, the figure found strength from nowhere, supported his body, and crawled out of the ruins with difficulty.

It was at this moment that everyone saw her appearance clearly.

Her light grey hair was loose with three spiral curls at the ends. Her smooth hair showed that she had been well cared for on a daily basis, but at this moment it was already covered with dirt formed by melted snow mixed with dust.

There was a rainbow-colored earring on the left ear, and the right ear was stained with dried blood. Looking closely, there were traces of the earlobe being forcibly torn. In the corner of the ruins, a similar rainbow-colored earring was lying quietly among the rubble.

The white slim-fitting military uniform was tattered, with wounds caused by sharp blades visible everywhere, but not a drop of blood was flowing out. Only the dead white color of the wounds could be occasionally seen from the torn clothes, which seemed to explain everything.

His palms were clasped tightly on the iron sheet beside him. Only one finger was left on the black silk glove. The four exposed fingers were covered in blood and dirt. The fingertips were bloody and the white bone streaks could be vaguely seen.

The black boot on her right leg had a big hole in it, and when she looked sideways, she could see the ground on the other side through the hole - her calf seemed to have been completely pierced through by something, and her entire calf and body were connected only by the little bit of flesh and blood left...

"Hu, hu..." She panted laboriously, as if this simple action had exhausted all her strength.

Her pretty face was covered with stains. A long bloodstain extended from her forehead, across her eyes, and completely tore half of her cheek apart. The one intact eye was staring at the people not far away. Her light grey pupils were trembling violently, carrying with them pain, hope, and deep despair!

"Belloberg..."

"..." Dan Heng was about to speak as he watched the other person's actions with a frown on his face, but Yu Qi stepped forward and stopped him.

Calmly gazing at the girl lying on the ruins, Yu Qi said in a calm tone: "Everyone in the entire city is dead, there is no survivor! The Beloberg you mentioned... has been destroyed!"

“They… are all dead?! How could it be… all dead… all dead…” The girl’s body was shaking violently, and she swayed a few times before falling weakly onto the ruins.

The sharp edge of the iron sheet cut her skin, revealing the bright red flesh and blood. After a long while, some sticky blood slowly flowed out.

"sorry Sorry sorry……"

Completely ignoring the pain in her body, the girl only felt as if her heart was being completely crushed. Although she had already guessed such an outcome when her mother had released the disaster with her own hands a few days ago.

But, she still had a tiny bit of hope in her heart, what if, what if Beloberg really persevered!

Just like seven hundred years ago, just like...

This little hope is not strong, but it allows her to endure the pain in her body, persist and survive until now!

It was not until she heard with her own ears from Yu Qi and others that Beloberg had been completely destroyed that the only hope left in her heart was finally extinguished. Her breath, which was like a candle in the wind, was weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The gray pupils gradually dilated, and her consciousness became blurred. A teardrop slid down from her dry eyes with difficulty. She stared blankly at the gray sky above her head. Until the end, she kept muttering: "I'm sorry..."

"Not good!" Yu Qi frowned when he noticed the girl's breath was rapidly fading. He took a step forward without hesitation and shot towards the ruins.

"~~~" As if stimulated by Yu Qi's actions, the star core in the sky trembled violently, and then an increasingly violent energy emerged from it, rushing towards Yu Qi with a chill that could almost freeze time and space.

However, for some reason, this energy suddenly shook the moment it emerged; the originally solidified coldness directly dissipated, gently bypassing the girl on the ground, and when it blew in front of Yu Qi, it was just a biting cold wind, which could not affect him at all who was protected by the Yu Zhang shield.

'…………'

His eyes focused, and Yu Qi's body shook for some reason, and he looked at the star core in the sky in surprise.

'I see! '

Nodding calmly, Yu Qi took another step, and the next moment he appeared next to the girl, pressing his hand directly on her body. The light blue water elemental force spread rapidly with abundant power, and at the critical moment, forcibly retained the last spark of her life.
