Chapter 268 A World Rotten to the Core
When Sauro saw clearly the person standing in front of the house, he was stunned.
He blinked and said in disbelief:
"Big...big bear?"
Robin replied happily:
"It's Big Bear Brother, let's go over there quickly."
She took Sauro's hand and quickened her pace.
The big bear in the distance saw Robin running towards him and a rare smile appeared on his face.
"Robin, let me take you away. The bombardment is about to begin."
After speaking to Robin, he turned his gaze to the tall figure behind Robin.
"Lieutenant General Sauro, I didn't expect to see you here."
Sauro's huge body seemed a little cramped in front of the big bear.
He scratched his head awkwardly and said:
"I didn't expect..."
He knew that Big Bear was the one who helped O'Hara, but he chose not to ask more questions.
Robin held Sauro's hand tightly, with hope glittering in his eyes.
"Uncle Sauro, Big Bear will take us away."
Sauro was silent for a while, looking down at Robin's trusting eyes, and felt a warm feeling in his heart.
However, he finally shook his head and said:
"Robin, I'd better stay here."
After he found out how to leave, he changed his mind.
He didn't have much contact with the big bear, but he knew that he was a good person.
Now that he has rebelled against the Navy and is being hunted by the World Government, he doesn't want to implicate innocent people.
He had thought things were simple before.
If he were caught, he wouldn't do anything to let his benefactor down, but there are simply too many ways for the World Government to pry open his mouth.
Even if he escapes from here, there is no guarantee that he will not be caught by the World Government for the rest of his life.
When Big Bear heard this, he frowned slightly.
"Sauro, are you sure you want to stay here? You know what this place will become once the bombardment starts."
Sauro nodded firmly. "I know, but I don't want to cause you any trouble."
"As far as I know, there are people in the World Government who have eaten the Memory Fruit. I cannot guarantee that I will not be caught by the World Government in my lifetime."
His voice was low and firm, and his eyes shone with an unshakable determination.
Robin took Sauro's hand and said anxiously:
"Uncle Sauro, don't stay, you will be in danger!"
Sauro leaned over and gently stroked Robin's head with a gentle smile on his face.
"Robin, you have to be strong. You will be reunited with your mother in the future, and Big Bear is someone you can trust unconditionally."
Tears welled up in Robin's eyes, but she gritted her teeth and shook her head.
She knew what Sauro's decision meant, so she didn't want to let this kind navy man die in vain.
Big Bear looked at Sauro deeply and shook his head.
"Sauro, you can face death calmly, so why should you be afraid of the uncertain future?"
"If we were afraid of the world government finding out, we wouldn't have come here."
"..."
Just then, the door in front was pushed open, and Jin An walked out slowly with a relaxed smile on his face.
"Hey, Sauro, long time no see."
Sauro was even more surprised, his eyes widened.
"Lieutenant General Jinan, you are here too."
Jinan said directly to Daxiong,
"I trust this guy's character. Let him go and keep company with those scholars."
He looked up at the sky in the distance and his expression became serious.
"The bombardment will start in about five minutes. We don't have time to chat any more."
Without saying a word, Big Bear slapped Robin and Sauro one by one, and instantly sent them flying, escaping from this place that was about to become purgatory.
Robin drew an arc in the air, feeling himself being gently wrapped, and closed his eyes with peace of mind.
She believed in Daxiong and Jinan's arrangements and was full of hope for the future.
As Sauro was flying in the air, he looked at O'Hara who was gradually going away, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He knew that he couldn't die at the moment, but the giants always wanted to repay a favor.
Since Jinan and the others saved his life, his life belongs to Jinan.
Jinan looked at the distant horizon and felt the tense atmosphere in the air.
He warned Big Bear,
"When the shelling starts, you will leave directly with Clover. Remember, keeping yourself safe is the most important thing."
Big Bear nodded and walked into the room. Looking at Clover who was still talking about his research results, he thought that this world was rotten to the core.
Then he looked into the distance in silence.
......
On a naval ship in the distance, Sakaski stood on the deck with an expressionless face, ordering the soldiers to prepare for shelling.
He knew that this was a mission he had to complete. Although he felt a little uneasy and dissatisfied, those little emotions had nothing to do with this operation.
"Get ready to fire!"
Sakaski said coldly, his eyes fixed coldly in O'Hara's direction.
The moment the bombardment began, the entire sky seemed to be illuminated.
More than a dozen warships opened fire at the same time, and the huge gun barrels spewed out blazing flames, as if to tear the whole world apart.
The deafening sound of cannons echoed on the sea, like the roar of thousands of thunders, which was heart-pounding.
The shells cut through the sky, whistling towards us with destructive force.
Countless shrapnel intertwined in the air to form a web of death, covering the entire O'Hara.
The air on the island was instantly filled with a thick smell of gunpowder, as if even breathing had become hot and difficult.
As the shells fell, the ground shook violently, as if the entire island was wailing.
The sturdy building collapsed instantly under the impact of the shells, and stones and dust flew everywhere.
The massive trunk of the Tree of Omniscience was directly broken, and its huge branches and leaves rolled and fell in the air, making a tearing sound.
Flames were everywhere, explosions were heard one after another, and the entire island seemed to be caught in a doomsday catastrophe.
The raging fire spread rapidly, devouring all combustible materials, and the scorching heat made it impossible for people to get close.
Those once bustling streets, quiet libraries, and ancient buildings were instantly reduced to ruins.
The waves rolled and vibrated, and the sea water kept hitting the shore of the island, as if it was going to swallow the entire island.
Rocks were blown to pieces, soil was blown up, and a dust cloud formed in the air that covered the sky.
The entire O'Hara seemed to be destroyed by an invisible giant hand. Everything collapsed in an instant and turned into a dead ruin.
Those people on the island who were still preparing to surrender did not even see the navy and were instantly engulfed in the sea of fire.
"These navy men are executioners!!!"
"Damn you navy, I won't let you go even if I go to hell!!"
"I regret it so much...I hate it so much!!!"
"..."
With round after round of shelling, the terrain of the island continued to change, and huge craters could be seen everywhere.
Those surviving trees and vegetation were uprooted and flew away by the shock wave of the explosion.
The ground was littered with broken rebar and twisted metal.
All living things ceased to exist.
