after tomorrow is the end

Chapter 653 Shattered Memories

Whoosh... Circles of fire snakes surrounded the giant mutated beetle, and the soaring flames could be seen from far away.

Ash stood on the back of the giant mutated beetle, the scorching arrogance made him feel a little suffocated, and the smoke choked his throat: "cough cough...cough..."

"Surrender." Li Jie was not in a hurry to kill him, a known enemy was much easier to deal with than an unknown one.

"Hmph! It's still far away!" Ash snorted coldly, and stomped on the beetle shell with his right foot.

"Uh ho ho ho!" The giant mutated beetle screamed upwards, raised two hard and thick insect legs, and saw the blue light above it, and it slammed into the crack of the ground.

Swish, swish... A series of sharp ground thorns emerged from the ground, with a special ability: ground-splitting thrusts.

The ground thorns centered on the giant mutated beetle, spreading out in circles.

Hang, hang, hang... The ground thorn broke through the soil layer under the chariot robot, and penetrated the mech of the chariot robot like a mountain of knives.

Hum...Zizi...A row of chariot robots destroyed by ground thorns, the sparks caused by the short circuit made them lose power, and the musket stopped spraying.

The other side.

Hang, hang, hang... The ground thorns broke through the soil layer under Thales and Nissan, and went straight to their mechs.

Puff, puff, puff... The jet propulsion ejected two jets of air, and Thales and Nissan rose into the air with a whistling under the thrust of the reaction.

They left the ground before the thorns were poked.

"Rush!" Without the shackles of the flames, Ash urged the giant mutated beetle rumbled towards Li Jie.

Tread Tat Tat... A group of Guards soldiers stood between the two, and the weapons in their hands were all flamethrowers. It seemed that Li Jie had premeditated and set a trap here.

Hoo hoo hoo... This spray was merciless, with full firepower, and even two fire snakes shot directly at Ash above!

"Be careful, my king!" Rebecca suddenly stood in front of Ash, but even a demon general might not be able to resist the power of the flames.

"Rebecca!" How could Ash let his beloved block the gun for himself, and hurriedly used the control wave to urge the giant mutant beetle.

"Uh ho ho ho!" The giant mutated beetle hissed to the sky, backed up hard, and stood up.

Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo huh... the flame hit its belly which was not hard, making the sound of sizzling roast meat.

"Wow!" As the giant mutated beetle stood up, Ash lost his center of gravity, and his whole body fell backwards, and he was about to fall off the beetle's upright back.

Snapped!A soft hand grabbed Ash's vacant right hand, and the two of them seemed to be hanging on a cliff, extremely dangerous.

"Ah?" Ash looked up, it was Rebecca, her other alienated right paw was holding tightly to the carapace of the beetle, preventing the two of them from falling off.

But what made Ash's eyes condense, and suddenly lost his mind, was that Rebecca grabbed his left hand...

This is a human hand. Although it does not have a healthy skin color, it is still the dark corpse color, but it is indeed a human hand!

Ash followed the beetle's swaying body and swayed freely, deaf to the sound of funeral roars and flame spurts. In his eyes, there was only this hand!
Since he woke up, he returned to Levin City based on the place where his memory last disappeared, looking for his beloved woman.

Standing on the viaduct leading to the outskirts of Levin City, the fragments of memory gradually pieced together the scene at that time:
The army erected a fence barricade on the viaduct, cutting off all exits from the city.

Several police cars and buses rushed over, and they were full of citizens fleeing in panic, most of them were women and children.

Encountering a blockade, it was confrontation, it was card breaking, everyone in the car ran to climb over the roadblock, only Ash and Rebecca remained in the car.

Seeing the tide of infected people catching up, it wasn't that Ash didn't want to escape, but that he couldn't.

In the process of fleeing, Ash was accidentally bitten by an infected person. Without Rebecca's cover along the way, he would not even have been able to come here, this short distance.

Bang bang bang... Outside the car doors and windows, there were countless bloody hands slapping, and Ash also entered the final stage of the virus during this time.

Ash's black pupils gradually shrunk, and finally were ruthlessly devoured by the surrounding dead white. The teeth also grew obviously, becoming sharper and sharper, and the body began to swell, and the muscles bulged...

"Ash..." Rebecca leaned on Ash's chest, closed her eyes silently, a tear fell from the corner of her eye.

"Uh uh..." Greedy saliva spewed out of Ash's mouth, only the white neck was in his dead eyes.

"Bite! Bite! Bite down! Contagion! Contagion!" A bewitching voice filled his mind, making him uncontrollably open his mouth, go to Rebecca's neck, and bite down!
..., ...

..., ...

..., ...

When they met again, it was the bus under the sunset, and Rebecca staggered out of the bus, as if she had been waiting here for him to come back...

But things are different, Rebecca has alienated into the form of a snake queen, with a pair of slender blue crystal claws like scissor hands.

"Rebecca!" Ash threw himself on Rebecca excitedly, blaming himself extremely in his heart. If he... had stayed away from her earlier... he wouldn't have...

Probably feeling Ash's emotion, or out of obedience to the mother's body, Rebecca also hugged Ash mechanically...

Puff... The scissors-like claws unintentionally pierced Ash's skin, causing him pain.But the pain was not on Ash's body, but on Ash's heart. Those scissor hands were like the severed arms of an angel with broken wings.

For so many years, this pair of scissor hands has been like a shackle, making Ash and Rebecca lack something indescribable.Can't hug, can't take care of myself, can't drink wine together, can't go for more intimate contact, etc...

Ash is like a nanny, washing her face, bathing, trimming her hair, and dressing her up as beautifully as possible, and occasionally pouring a glass of wine, drinking by herself, talking to herself and chatting with Rebecca.

Even if Rebecca embraced him affectionately, it was an order executed under Ash's instructions...

But today, this time!It was completely based on Rebecca's subjective consciousness, not because of the passive behavior of protecting the ethnic group matrix.

The most powerful evidence is that the beautiful hand that grabbed Ash was a reverse mutation!It is a human hand that faded after being infected with the virus by itself!
Ash's eye sockets were moist, the long-lost tear glands condensed new tears, and slid down from the corners of his eyes...

Yes, behind her cold, emotionless face, there is a real imprisoned, real, loving... soul...
