Chapter 1258 Is there any meaning in living without hope?
Chapter 1258 Is there any meaning in living without hope?
Other people around were also trying to escape in various ways.
Some people fell to the ground in panic and were torn into pieces by the mutant beasts in an instant; others ran desperately, trying to find a safe shelter;
Others gathered together, using their weak superpowers and weapons picked up from somewhere to fight the mutated beasts, but they were soon overwhelmed by the beasts' frenzy.
The whole city seemed to have turned into a purgatory on earth, with wailing, cries for help, and expressions of despair everywhere. Those once familiar faces now became so strange and distorted, as if their hearts were completely devoured by fear and despair.
The air was filled with a strong smell of blood and death, making people feel suffocated and desperate.
"Although there is only one mission objective, it is hard to remain indifferent when seeing this kind of scene."
Qin Tian's voice sounded in the air, with a hint of complicated emotions.
He took a deep breath, and raging flames surrounded him, dancing and circling in the air like a giant dragon, then swooped down suddenly and instantly devoured a group of mutant beasts that rushed up.
Qin Tian's attack did not stop. He flashed and appeared next to another group of mutant beasts. He put his hands together and pushed forward suddenly. Another blazing wall of fire roared out, burning those beasts into ashes in an instant.
"That's human nature. Even though we're not from the same country, we're all human beings."
Huoyu sighed deeply at this, and his eyes revealed an indescribable emotion.
In the past, she only learned about the experiences of countries outside their country when invaded by mutant creatures through texts and videos. But no matter how vivid the descriptions were, she didn't feel anything. After all, they were not from the same country, so what could she feel?
She said a long time ago that she only cared about China and only China. She didn't have the mind or ability to care about anything else.
But when she stood on this land in person and saw with her own eyes the mutated creatures hunting humans, biting and devouring humans as if they were prey, even though this was another country and they were people of the same country, and these mutated beasts had nothing to do with her mission, she found it difficult to remain calm.
Perhaps it was pity for these innocent people, or perhaps it was sympathy for them, or perhaps it was anger at being hunted by a group of livestock as human beings. But at this moment, the reason no longer mattered.
She tightly grasped the Flame Emperor Sword, which was transformed from a fire beast lion, in her hand. Flames similar to but different from Qin Tian's burst out from her body, and she pounced on the mutated beasts like an angry lion.
The flames drew dazzling tracks in the air, instantly engulfing them in raging fire.
Chen Bing stood there. She didn't say anything, but a heart-pounding chill emanated from her body. The mutated beasts around her roared and rushed towards her, but the moment they came into contact with the chill from her body, they were instantly frozen in place.
Those originally ferocious and violent mutant beasts are now covered in frost, and their movements have become slow and clumsy, as if they were frozen in time at that moment.
Then, as Chen Bing's mind moved slightly, the frozen beasts shattered one after another, turning into countless ice crystals and scattered on the ruins.
With the actions of Qin Tian, Huo Yu and Chen Bing, most of the mutant creatures that were originally chasing humans have died, and those that survived have fled to other places.
The entire battlefield suddenly became clear, with only the rescued humans left. They had dazed faces, staring blankly at the three god-like beings.
Did they survive?
The eyes of all the survivors were filled with disbelief. They had just been in desperate situations, facing the threat of life and death, but now they were able to survive because of three people who appeared from nowhere.
This huge contrast made them unable to recover for a moment, and they could only stare blankly at Qin Tian, Huo Yu and Chen Bing.
Qin Tian and the other two did not say much. They knew that what these humans needed at the moment was quiet and rest. They stood aside silently, observing the situation around them vigilantly to prevent other mutant creatures from appearing.
Since they had done it, they had to do it to the best of their ability. This was what their family had taught them since they were very young. In the eyes of the survivors, their figures appeared even taller and more majestic under the light of fire and ice, like gods.
As time went by, the surviving humans gradually regained consciousness. They began to stand up with the help of each other, and used their weak strength to tidy up their messy clothes and wounds.
Although there was still a hint of fear and confusion in their eyes, the previous despair and helplessness were no longer there.
"Excuse me, are you the superpowers from China?"
A weak and trembling voice broke the silence around them. A middle-aged man plucked up his courage and asked Qin Tian, Huo Yu and Chen Bing carefully.
There was an expression of awe and gratitude on his face, as if he saw the dawn of hope.
Qin Tian nodded slightly and answered in a calm tone.
"Yes, we are from China."
He didn't explain much about his identity because there was no point.
"How did you know?"
Su Yunqing looked at him in surprise. They did not reveal their identities, and the power they had just displayed was only a part of their strength. Basically, any second-order psychic could do it.
How did he guess that they were Chinese psychics?
Because of their identities? After all, Dragon Emperor, Flame Emperor and Ice Emperor were the first officially launched superpowers, and they were very famous in the whole world.
But if you recognized them, you shouldn't use this tone.
Most likely it's due to some other reason.
"The powerful supernatural beings in our country are all with those in power, protecting their safety. They don't care about our lives."
"Although there were some psychics who were unwilling to join their side, they all died in the process of resisting the mutant beasts and that monster."
His voice revealed a deep helplessness and disappointment. He had lost confidence and hope in this country and those in power. The survivors around him were equally silent. Their hearts were filled with anger, but more of a sense of powerlessness.
It is obvious that their country was so "powerful" before the revival of spiritual energy, and it once occupied a place in the world in terms of both technology and culture.
They clearly believe in their hearts that they will be the second most powerful country in the world in the future, with countless outstanding talents and the wisdom and tactics passed down by powerful ancestors.
But after the revival of spiritual energy, everything changed!
Those powerful psychics who were once regarded as the pillars of the country have now become the private soldiers of those in power, only concerned with maintaining the power and interests of those people; and those psychics who were unwilling to go along with the crowd have died one by one in this disaster, and their sacrifice seems to be in vain.
I still remember that when the information about the "savior" and "savior" was announced, the whole country was jubilant. People seemed to see hope and expected him to save the country in this desperate era and lead them to new glory.
But now?
Where is the "savior" who is so highly expected?
I'm afraid he has already forgotten the oath he made to save this country in his drunken stupor!
Qin Tian, Huo Yu and Chen Bing stood silently by, listening to the middle-aged man and the survivors around him, looking at the angry and aggrieved expressions on their faces, but unable to say anything.
There was no way to respond to this. As people from the Spiritual Energy Bureau, they certainly could not agree with other people's internal affairs. So even though they felt heavy and helpless in their hearts, they said nothing.
And to be honest, if we put ourselves in their shoes, if they were the ones with sequence-level abilities, would they be willing to follow their current wishes and dedicate their lives to this country?
It is not uncommon for the dragon slayer to become the dragon himself.
Not to mention after the revival of spiritual energy, such things happened a lot before the revival of spiritual energy.
For the sake of profit, people always do things that go against their original wishes.
This is human nature!
Even if it were not for Bai Xuan's existence, if it were not the family they were born into, if their will was not strong enough, they might have betrayed the oath they had made because of the power they possessed.
Even now, they are not sure that their future selves will have the same inner feelings as they do now.
"We don't know how to comfort you about this, and you probably don't need any comfort."
“Although it sounds a bit like chicken soup, no matter what, don’t give up hope.”
Finally, Huoyu looked at them and spoke seriously.
"Although given the absolute gap, even if you unite and work together, it is almost impossible to change the situation in this country, but at least, you can change something."
“If you do nothing, it will never be possible; if you do something, even if it is impossible, there is still a chance.”
Given the absolute gap in power, it is very difficult to change this country by relying solely on one's own efforts. Even if more people unite, it will be the same. But if you do nothing, there will really be no hope at all. If you do something, at least there will still be a little hope.
Having no hope is a terrifying thing. What’s the difference between living like that and being a walking corpse?
Do you think that the meaning of your life is to live a miserable life?
Huoyu shook his head and was about to say something when suddenly, a terrifying spiritual power fluctuation came from a distance. The expressions of Qin Tian, Huoyu and Chen Bing changed instantly and they turned their gazes to the back.
"That mutant slime is coming over here. Zhang Hai picked a really good coordinate."
Huoyu couldn't help but complain.
"I've been meaning to say this since a while ago. This guy must have chosen the right spot; but now is not the time to complain."
Then she turned to the group of survivors and said, "Leave quickly. We won't be able to take care of you when the fight starts. Don't let us kill you instead of them."
The group of survivors looked at each other with gratitude in their eyes; they knew that Qin Tian and the other two said that to protect them; so after expressing their gratitude, they quickly fled from here.
Looking at the survivors' departing backs, Qin Tian, Huo Yu and Chen Bing turned around and waited quietly for the arrival of the mutated giant slime.
Time passed slowly, and when the group of survivors fled far away, a huge figure slowly appeared in the sight of Qin Tian and the other two.
It was a mutated giant slime, so huge that it stood on the horizon like a mountain. Its body exuded disgusting mucus, and countless small slimes separated from it and rushed towards the city like a tide.
Although these small slimes are not strong individually, they are numerous. However, Huoyu is not afraid of group battles.
Faced with this sudden group of small slimes, Huoyu was not at all panicked. She stepped down hard with her right foot, and a huge rune was shining under her feet.
At the same time, behind Huoyu, the void began to twist, and then countless fire-attribute summoned beasts slowly emerged; they all emitted blazing flames.
A group of small slimes roared and rushed towards Huoyu and her summoned beasts. There were so many of them that they looked like several waves of different colors, colliding with Huoyu's summoned beasts.
"This thing is really good at differentiation. How much did it swallow?"
"Earth attribute, water attribute, fire attribute, wood attribute, poison attribute. Tsk, I'm beginning to fear the power this guy will gain after integrating these small slimes into his body."
Huoyu couldn't help but speak as he watched his summoned beast fighting against the group of small slimes that had differentiated.
If it can differentiate, it can naturally be reunited.
The mutated slimes after differentiation are all first-sequence level mutated creatures. If these differentiated mutated slimes were to be fused together again, what kind of terrifying power would that be?
Could it be that it is like that Kunpeng, surpassing the limit of the first sequence?
When did the First Sequence become combat gauges?!
Now that the version has been updated, even the first sequence is no longer considered the top combat force?
Although Huoyu complained like this, she showed no mercy when she attacked. Basically, each summoned beast could take away at least ten small slimes. Her supernatural powers were also continuously activated, and a large number of summoned beasts continued to pour into the battlefield behind her.
Since we are worried that the mutated slime will be able to burst out with power beyond the limit of the first sequence after it gathers again, it is better not to let it gather.
As long as we kill all the small slimes that differentiate from it, there will be no problem, right?
There is no faster solution than solving the problem at the source!
"Give me all the differentiated small slimes. You should be able to handle the big one, right?"
"of course."
"Yan!"
Qin Tian said lightly, and accompanied by a dragon roar, a blazing flame burst out from his body. The Flame Dragon Armor covered his body, and raging flames flowed on the armor, as if a violent fire dragon had descended to the earth.
As a creation of Bai Xuan's [Natural Authority], it also seemed to have undergone some changes due to the strengthening of [Natural Authority].
