Building a Salvation Organization from Scratch

Chapter 245 The man in the painting is as dazzling as the sun

Sharp blast.

came from behind Luke.

He didn't know how a monster like that could make such a sound?
Luke just knew.

The intense fear made him tremble all over.

No matter how curious and extraordinary he was before, he couldn't help but regret this situation now.

The open space in front of him has been shrouded in a huge shadow.

The huge death worm was already behind him, opening its mouthparts filled with circles of sharp teeth.

In a trance.

Luke felt as if he could smell the strong smell of blood and gunpowder smoke filling his nose.

He wants to do something.

But the body running forward stiffly showed no response to the thoughts that were constantly diverging.

next moment.

Just when Luke thought he was about to die.

Several sharp cracks in the air suddenly sounded.

Then came the violent explosion itself.

The intense heat shock wave that followed caused Luke's entire body to be blown away.

It fell on a haystack not far away.

Luke struggled to get up, but the burning pain in his back made every move he made extremely difficult.

Fortunately, my head felt a little lighter after the fall.

When I finally raised my head.

He found that the huge death worm was slowly crawling up from the ground.

Below the huge mouthparts of the death worm.

There were a few black stains that were not there before, looking like they had been hit by some kind of explosion.

Look up to the sky.

A dozen fighter jets, whose specific models Luke could not recognize, roared past.

Obviously.

They launched missiles just now.

Looking at the way the monster is standing still, those missiles do have some effect.

But looking at the monster's unharmed appearance, Luke felt that there was a high probability that this would be of little use.

ponder for a moment.

Luke wanted to get up and leave this place of right and wrong where he could die at any time as soon as possible.

But in addition to the burning pain in his back, the bones all over his body seemed to be falling apart, making it difficult for him to move significantly.

In this regard.

Luke could only hold his forehead helplessly to comfort himself, at least he could still feel the pain.

It's just that this forehead-holding action has just been done.

He then realized why his head felt a little light.

Blue Afro.

Most of it was destroyed in the explosion.

Luke had no time to feel sad about this. He took advantage of the Death Worm's attention to focus on the fighter planes roaring in the sky, and quickly got down from the haystack bit by bit with difficulty.

Needless to say, he was lucky.

The missile exploded not far away, but he was not seriously injured immediately.

In addition to the bruised flesh and blood on the surface of his back that was burnt by the high-heat shock wave, the most serious injury was the collision injury when he was blown away by the shock wave.

Probably two broken ribs and bruises all over his body.

Look around twice.

Luke endured the pain that worsened every time he breathed, and found that the scroll of the painting was stored on his waist, on the ground not far from him.

He took a few steps closer.

Pick up the roll by the handful.

After a general inspection, I found that there were several obvious cracks on the reel, which were obviously caused when it was thrown out just now.

Luke turned his head and looked at the Death Worm not far away, which for some reason remained motionless.

Then he swallowed.

I slowly opened the scroll and took a quick glance: [The busy street scene of Taos Town serves as the background, with a sunny man standing]

Apparently no damage was sustained, and the contents of the painting were still clearly visible.

Luke immediately grabbed the painting.

Limping towards the direction closer to the town and away from the death worms.

Although I don’t know why the Death Worm stood there motionless when it looked uninjured.

But Luke knew one thing:

If you don't run now, when will you wait?
Surrounded by the world's strongest four-nation blockade force, there is also the joint No. [-] aircraft carrier formation patrolling in the sea not far away.

The worm will be killed by the firepower that will soon be released or delayed here.

When the covering firepower comes, if he still stays here, he is not sure that he will be as lucky as before.

The more I think about it.

Luke couldn't help but quicken his pace.

Even if my whole body hurts, even if I feel exhausted.

Soon.

The town where he settled appeared before him.

but.

I saw countless people gathering at the edge of the town, looking at Luke who stumbled past.

No... to be precise.

It was through Luke, looking at the giant death worm far behind him.

Obviously.

The huge movement at the blockade just now has alarmed most people in the town.

They took their respective tools and prepared to come out to see who was going to make such a big splash in a place like this.

Only at this moment.

They were all dumbfounded.

I can't believe what I'm seeing now.

In this town that became popular because of the search for Godzilla, monsters other than Godzilla appeared.

And the army's attack seems to be ineffective!

The huge monster like a death worm is just like a devil in myths and legends who does all kinds of evil. Just looking at it makes people shudder.

in silence.

No one chose to contact the outside world.

As an area close to the blockade, the four countries have jointly blocked a wide range of signals. Anyone who comes here will be isolated from the world.

This is a necessary protective measure.

When anyone in the town leaves, they need to be carefully checked by more peripheral checkpoints to see if they have any video or audio-visual recording equipment on them.

This is the contradiction between the urgent need to develop the tourism economy and the necessity of lockdown.

At least the four countries involved in Japan's political and economic collapse have acquiesced in this behavior that is conducive to economic redevelopment.

A tourist town with the theme of trying to cross the blockade is allowed to exist close to the blockade.

It's just that you can't contact the outside world.

Now they have to find a way to survive while the blockade army has nothing to do with the monsters.

It will take too long to leave here, and there is a high probability that you will not be able to outrun the huge death worm.

so now.

It would be best if the army had something to do with the monsters.

While everyone was thinking this, the fighter planes in the distance launched a second round of attacks.

This time it's not a test.

Instead, all the firepower he carried was vented.

The few fighter jets coming from the blockade's makeshift airfield did not carry much ammunition.

If this blow is useless.

We had to wait 10 minutes for support from the aircraft carrier formation in the sea not far away.

Expensive and dangerous fireworks.

Blooming in the sky now.

The huge amount of fire engulfed the monster.

Everyone expected this blow to be effective.

Luke also stopped and turned his head to watch and wait for the result of this blow.

Because everyone understands that if this blow has no effect.

It would be enough for this monster to destroy the town before the aircraft carrier fighter group arrived 10 minutes later.

in silence.

Everyone held their breath.

It seems that he is afraid that if he breathes a little more, the power of those airborne missiles will be affected.

But even if they are not breathing.

The power of these missiles does not seem to be sufficient.

A thick purple beam of light suddenly penetrated the endless firelight and smoke.

The light beam flashed with purple electric light, like an indestructible lightsaber.

Don't wait for people to react.

It suddenly raised at an angle.

A fighter jet that couldn't dodge was swept straight past the rear half of the beam of light.

Like a hot knife cutting through butter.

The rear half of the fighter jet disappeared into nothing after being swept by the light beam, without any hindrance.

Only the cross-section filled with molten metal showed that this fighter jet had a rear half.

The rest of the fighter jet fell freely, and the pilot failed to eject at the last moment.

Although the other fighter jets immediately made various emergency maneuvers, trying to find a way to avoid the sweeping beam of light.

But most of them can't react at all.

They were all swept away instantly and turned into fireworks in the sky.Although the only remaining fighter jet escaped.

But looking at the empty ammunition reserves, he immediately chose to return.

next moment.

The purple beam of light disappeared.

The fire and smoke all over the sky dissipated.

The unharmed death worm stood quietly in place, with purple arcs flashing from time to time in its open bloody mouth.

Apparently, smoke never hurts.

Fire coverage still cannot have any substantial effect on the death worm.

Even allowing it to be covered up by the rising smoke, an electric arc beam unexpectedly eliminated most of the incoming fighter jets.

now.

Its eyeless mouthparts face the town.

This made everyone who had expected the military attack to achieve something feel chilly in their hearts.

Although you can't see the eyes.

But everyone vaguely understood that this monster was staring at them.

next moment.

The monster's huge body moved again.

Without the fighter jets to delay time, the monster's squirming body moved faster than ever before.

Luke saw with his own eyes that any trees or stones blocking the road would be crushed into powder.

It is approaching at an incredible speed.

Conservative estimates suggest that it is far from possible to escape by driving away now.

in silence.

Luke did not choose to run away like the people in the small town who were watching.

Escape is nothing more than fighting to be the last to die.

No matter how you run, you can't escape.

Luke decided not to run away!

To be honest, he was already tired from running just now.

Dragging his injured body and sitting on the rocks by the roadside, Luke quietly watched the monster approach.

Although I was scared just now.

But at this time, it was unusually calm.

He really didn't want to die.

But when you know you are going to die.

He wanted to face it calmly again.

Luke looked at the approaching monster and wanted to reach out and take out the paintbrush from his afro.

Before dying, draw two strokes on the ground.

But the explosive head, which was half blown away by the high temperature and flames, obviously no longer has its original storage function.

The paintbrush had obviously been left somewhere when he was blown away.

Except for the painting he brought with him, he was quite alone at the moment.

in silence.

Luke opened the portrait with the words Eternal Sun written on it.

Looking at the sunny man with great temperament above.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It seems that the secret about you can only disappear with me."

Luke shook his head.

I wanted to rely on this painting to find the extraordinary.

However, before the search could officially begin, an extraordinary disaster came knocking on the door.

It seems...

Until his death, he would never be able to see again the man who smiled and allowed his portrait to be drawn.

Silent, looking at the monster that had already poked its head downwards.

It opened its mouthparts full of sharp teeth.

Luke slowly closed his eyes.

What else are you looking for to be extraordinary?Even the Anomaly Countermeasures Bureau, which Lighthouse spent all its efforts to establish, has not made any achievements in this regard.

What's the point of messing around with him?

really.

It's better to end it all.

"Eternal Sun..."

Whispering, Luke closed his eyes.

Waiting for the death worm that has reached the top of the head to crush itself with its densely packed teeth.

He believed the pain would not last long.

The circles of sharp teeth that make people feel terrified will not give him too long to feel the pain.

Death will only last for a moment.

but……

The expected pain didn't seem to come.

Luke opened his eyes.

What he saw was a mouth big enough to swallow dozens of himself right next to him.

But it is impossible to make any progress.

If you look carefully.

Luke found himself surrounded by a hemispherical golden transparent energy shield.

The big mouth of the death worm is stuck outside the shield and cannot break through at all.

The muscles around its sharp teeth were clearly trembling, and it was obviously exerting enough force.

But there was still nothing he could do about Luke.

Even the death worm itself is like a normal person holding a light bulb in its mouth, its big mouth seems to be stuck here and cannot be withdrawn.

The scene was deadlocked for a while.

Luke was naturally confused.

He doesn't know why he is still alive, and he doesn't know what the energy shield around him is?
But when he looked at the painting in his hand, he immediately understood.

Man in portrait.

I don't know when it disappeared.

It's not that it's been erased, but it's as if the painting had never been about the man.

As Luke subconsciously looked around.

Sure enough, I found a familiar yet unfamiliar figure next to me.

It's strange because the man's face is always forgotten the next second he looks at it, and he can't remember it clearly.

Familiar because.

The man's sun-like temperament made Luke unforgettable for a long time.

It still feels as warm and reassuring as when we first met.

The man was seen looking up at the death worm.

The fact that he was wearing the same clothes as before meant one thing: the man obviously looked the same as he did in the painting.

Then think about it in conjunction with the missing man in the painting.

It's like saying that this man just walked out of the painting.

Such speculation made Luke swallow his saliva.

He didn't know what to say at the moment.

But he was certain that there was both excitement and panic in his heart.

Luke knew he kept the painting to find this man.

But when this man really walked out of the painting, he couldn't help but feel a bit like Mr. Ye.

He believed that no one could in this situation.

Still maintaining enough composure.

If the monster's big mouth wasn't about to fall on top of his head at this moment, it would be really difficult for him to move his thoughts in such an outrageous direction.

pondered.

Luke chose not to say a word.

He chose to look quietly at the man in the painting who had most likely saved his life.

And this man didn't pay attention to the complicated look in Luke's eyes next to him.

He just looked up at the worm with a hint of inquiry and murmured: "Interesting creature...but it doesn't seem to be the original body?"

The man's voice was just like his appearance. The next second after hearing it, he couldn't remember its characteristics.

I can only vaguely remember hearing something said by someone unknown whether it was a man or a woman, old or young.

next moment.

The man waved his hand at Luke's shocked look.

Huge golden pillars of light rose from all around and shot straight into the sky.

The worm that had been unscathed before was instantly reduced to nothing before it could roar or escape under this fierce attack.

Everything fell silent.

Such a familiar scene.

Luke, who had seen similar beams of light outside the San Cristo Mountains, couldn't help but shrink his pupils.

This is it!

The golden beam of light is like a god descending, carrying boundless power to destroy everything!
He has found it!

Luke was instantly excited.

But before Luke could ask anything.

Everything around him disappeared.

The worms, the protective shield, and the familiar yet unfamiliar man all disappeared.

Except for Luke who didn't know when he would recover from his injury.

There was only one painting left around.

A painting that should have had something in it, but now was empty except for a Taos street scene.
