The rising sun shatters the darkness!

Chapter 313: Ashes after the Disaster (asking for monthly tickets)

"This time, the legend is no longer an experience simulation, but a historical re-enactment?"

"Root fragments, Zhu Xian twenty-four..."

"The pigs are fresh and fed? The pigs die first?"

In the ruins of the square, Xu Shu, who was alone, looked at the small ancient sword logo in the Taichu Scroll with horror on his face.

He suddenly remembered the end words of the Taichu Volume that often appeared when he was punished by the Star Tower for committing suicide during the expedition.

Combined with the scene he just saw, he couldn't help but suspect that the rain of swords that suppressed the heaven and earth and turned into tombstones in [Re-enactment of History] was the essence of the Star Tower!
Those powerful little swords are the reason for the lightning attacks launched by the Star Tower. In other words, the Star Tower's basic attack is sword energy!

As for the epitaph, Lü Liang…I and Wu are my bosom friends? Aren’t I and Wu both himself? Could this person be the founder of District D8B3?
But what are those four worlds that look like nightmares?
First of all, we can rule out Earth as the possible source.

Because according to the brief and limited historical records, the Star Tower has only been around for eighteen years, and in the past eighteen years, even during the catastrophe, such a scene had never appeared on Earth.

So what history is this so-called “reenactment of history” reenacting?

Could it be the worlds represented by the “ruins”?
Xu Shu felt confused.

No, I don’t have time to dwell on this now…

He took a few deep breaths and recovered from his shock as quickly as possible. He looked around and his heart suddenly sank.

Although the legend has become a special mode [Reenactment of History] this time, it still follows some basic rules. For example, one draw is equal to four hours, and the longest is from 6 am to 6 pm.

It was exactly twelve noon when Xu Shu entered the legend. After three draws of legend, when he returned to reality, 12 hours had passed. The excess time was not calculated, so it was exactly six o'clock in the afternoon.

This time is quite accurate, not a minute more or less.

At this moment, the sun has just set and the bright moon has risen. What you can see are collapsed buildings in large areas.

The roar of artillery fire covered everything, echoing throughout the sky, occasionally mixed with some strange and ferocious roars, and screams so faint that they were hardly noticeable, coming from unknown corners.

The once prosperous safe zone has completely turned into a battlefield and ruins.

Directly in front of us, only a small section of the originally majestic star tower remained, a few hundred meters at the bottom, and this small section also lay crookedly on the ground.

It was like a tree that was knocked down by a force twelve gale but still had some strength left after breaking, or like a wax spear that was limp but stubborn after having sex with ten women at night. It smashed one side of the circular track building of the Astronomical Society, and a small residential area farther away was also buried, with the rubble blocking the gap.

Because they are so large, the dust has not yet dissipated.

Seeing this scene, Xu Shu hurriedly looked up, looking for the strange sky, but saw the dark blue night sky - he immediately laughed at himself.

I was really worried and confused. Since I could see the sunset and the rising moon and stars, the strange countercurrent sea in the sky must have disappeared.

only……

"Why are you still fighting at this time?"

Glancing at the corner of the wall not far away, Xu Shu saw a group of soldiers who were suspected to be garrison troops, who were passionately encircling and killing a two-legged sheep that was more than three meters tall and risking their lives. He immediately became very suspicious.

According to his feeling, the Star Tower was destroyed at twelve noon, which was the moment the legend was opened, and the Star Tower exploded.

Up to now, six hours have passed.

But what's with all this gunfire noise?

Why are the people in the safe zone still fighting monsters here?

The evil god of the Tzeentch sect failed to descend, so there shouldn't be many demons left. Why don't they take the opportunity to escape during the day?

No, buddy, I risked my life to buy you these six hours of crucial time for life and death escape, and you didn't run? Just wasted it?
Then wouldn’t my star tower have been blown up in vain?
It's already six o'clock in the evening, and the siege will begin soon!
The monsters are waiting for the night to come. What are you waiting for? Waiting to die?
——Of course, saying it was a waste of time was definitely a joke.

How could it be in vain?

If the Star Tower was still there, what Xu Shu would see at this moment would not be the scene of the garrison fighting with the monsters that rushed into the city, but the time when the demons were having a dinner party.

However, no one took the lead in running away, which is also a headache.

Did the people above order us to defend a safe zone without a star tower?
Isn't this seeking death?
These questions flashed through my mind, and finally merged into one sentence -

"Oh no! Mom and Dad are still in the Judgment Department!"

Xu Shu quickly turned over and jumped up, running towards the Judgment Office.

After the Star Tower was shattered, it fell towards this side, and the east side collapsed... The Dawn Church was also collapsed... Fortunately, the Judgment Department is to the north of the Astronomical Society... Why is there so many corpses at the entrance of the Judgment Department? Was it also attacked? No... Don't let anything happen, don't let anything happen!

Xu Shu felt as if a huge stone was pressing on his chest, which made him feel depressed and heavy, and he could not help but have some rather selfish and despicable thoughts.

Passing by a collapsed building, I heard a wailing sound coming from inside, and then a baby's cry suddenly came from under the rubble.

"Wow!"

Xu Shu looked at it nervously, and for a moment he thought that the son of the evil god Paimon had appeared again, but when he looked closely he found that it was a young mother who was protecting her child with her body and was trapped under the collapsed beam.

The woman's face was filled with pain. She stretched out her hand and shouted to Xu Shu, "Help... Sir, save me..."

Xu Shu didn't look at the woman who was calling for help, but walked towards the Judgment Office.

After a few seconds, he cursed "Fuck", turned back, helped the woman to dig up the collapsed beams, and pulled her out of the rubble.

He had no intention of responding to the other party's repeated kowtows of gratitude. He stared straight ahead without blinking, trying to hurry into the Judgment Department.

Part of the Judgment Department also collapsed, apparently it was also attacked.

Cars drove in and out one after another, and it seemed that they were here to pick up people and headed towards the city gate; there were also some vehicles carrying medical staff among them.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a lot of people gathered in the hall. Although there were still people directing the scene, it was still a mess.

Curses, cries, and screams filled the air.

Compared to before, this place is even more chaotic.

In addition to the broken remains of the monsters that had not been dealt with in time, in a corner at the end of the corridor, one could also see the bodies of the sacrificed police officers laid out quite messily on a bench. They were so seriously injured that many of them died on the spot without even having time to receive treatment.

The war was intense, and being able to have a place to stay instead of having corpses lying on the street was already a pretty good treatment. "The Judgment Department was also attacked. Well, in addition to demons, there were also alien species..."

Looking at the corpses of several monsters not far away, Xu Shu knew that this meant that the aftereffects of the collapse of the Star Tower had begun to appear.

Perhaps because of the residual power of the past, the monsters in the wasteland dare not all come in.

But once there is one, there will be another. When these monsters gradually realize that they can't be killed after climbing up the city wall, they will pour in in large numbers.

They missed the golden six hours of evacuation time, it was too late...Xu Shu's heart sank.

Just as he was about to go to the third floor, Xu Shu focused his eyes and saw a familiar figure lying in the corner.

It was a young woman with fiery red hair, but she was lying weakly in the corner. There was a wound on her chest and abdomen that went all the way through. The edge of the wound was a dark mixture of black and green, and it was suspected to be highly poisonous, and was extremely hideous.

Xu Shu hurried over, squatted down and called out with concern: "Tang Ying?"

Tang Ying opened her eyes weakly and saw that it was Xu Shu. She was stunned for a moment and said, "Director Xu... you're still alive... I'm so glad... I'm sorry, your family, your family..."

As expected, this world, haha... Xu Shu's eyes darkened slightly, and he pressed her wound and said gently: "It's okay, I know, I don't blame you."

Tang Ying also added breathlessly: "They are fine."

"..." Xu Shu looked at Tang Ying with a slightly frozen expression, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly.

Then you say sorry?

are you crazy?

Considering that the other party was seriously injured, Xu Shu didn't bother with her.

Tang Ying smiled miserably and said, "I may not be able to bear it anymore... There were several second-level alien species that attacked here... We didn't have enough manpower at the time... I could only... cough cough! Director Xu, it's great to see you. I have a few words to say. If you can see my father, please tell him for me."

Xu Shu observed the powder on her wound, which obviously had no effect, and judged that the wound might contain the power of curse. He hesitated for a moment and said, "You say."

Tang Ying said with difficulty: "Tell him that I, Tang Ying, did not flinch in battle, and did not bring shame to the Tang family..."

"Okay, I understand. Anything else?" Xu Shu asked.

"Also, help me tell Yuchun to destroy the small box in my room." Tang Ying said with difficulty.

"Okay, if I can meet her." Xu Shu said.

Tang Ying asked again: "Director Xu, can I touch you...your face?"

"Um, okay." Xu Shu leaned over.

Tang Ying touched Xu Shu's cheek and smiled sadly: "Director Xu, you are so good-looking. I have never seen anyone as handsome as you, a strong man... Haha, you know, in fact, you are too strong, not my type, but you... you touched me that day... According to the rules, you have to be responsible for me, ahem... But I am going to die, forget it..."

Her hands dropped, unable to lift them.

Seeing that she stopped talking, Xu Shu asked, "Is there nothing else?"

"Hmm?" Tang Ying raised one eyelid with difficulty, revealing the last doubt in her life.

The next moment, Xu Shu reached out, grabbed a strange mark behind his back, and pulled it hard.

A fat orange cat was pulled out from a deep sleep. It rubbed its sleepy eyes, looked around, and asked in confusion: "What happened, meow?"

"Save people." Xu Shu said concisely.

Alice then turned around, observed Tang Ying, thought for a moment, and then licked her with her tongue.

Tang Ying's wound was transparent from the abdomen to the left chest, and her internal organs could be seen. There were also strange attachments on the wound, which seemed to be corroding her and hindering the therapeutic effect of the doctor's powder.

But as Alice licked it, the crystal cat saliva seeped into the wound, and the strange corrosive power of the curse was completely swallowed up, and the wound began to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Such an injury might make a second-level life path extraordinary being feel helpless, but Alice is a stage three "succubus" in the nun's path, and is quite proficient in the use of curses and lust, so this is not a problem for her.

As her injuries recovered, Tang Ying's consciousness, which was about to fade away, was forcibly restored.

She opened her eyes and looked at the orange cat lying on top of her, then looked at Xu Shu, with a look of deep confusion in her eyes.

After a while, she looked at Xu Shu: "Why... don't you save me first?"

Xu Shu said naturally, "Didn't you want to say your last words first?"

Tang Ying: …

My last words to your mother!
Shit! I was really saying my last words just now!

Xu Shu took back the slightly tired Alice, stuffed her back into the cat bag and wrapped her up. He glanced at Tang Ying's chest and changed the subject expressionlessly, "Where are my family members?"

Tang Ying quickly straightened her clothes and got herself dressed.

The joy of surviving the disaster made her less ashamed, and she quickly replied, "Upstairs, with the civil servants of the Judgment Department."

"Take me to see it."

Arriving at a relatively well-protected secret room on the second floor, Xu Shu finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his adoptive parents and their family, who were nervous and scared but full of energy.

"elder brother!"

"Ashu!"

When the three saw Xu Shu, they were frightened and worried, and surrounded him.

This was actually the situation he was most worried about. If his adoptive parents and sister unfortunately died here, although he knew that this was an outcome that ordinary people would find difficult to escape, he would then live in a very heavy hatred.

"Now is not the time to talk, just wait here and don't leave the main force!"

Xu Shu had a brief reunion with his family, and felt much more at ease. After giving some instructions, he and Tang Ying returned to the first floor and asked, "Have you received any arrangements?"
