"Conch, open the door!"
I called several times, but Miss Conch, who was always talkative, had no response.
Even if she is crying secretly, she should theoretically respond. After all, her character is very polite, and it is impossible not to have any reaction...
Lu Yuan's heart "thumped".
He quickly ran to the starry sky conch and tried to force open the lid.
It's a pity that it is extremely difficult to open this thing from the outside.
He tried his best, and the veins popped up on his forehead, but he still couldn't get them open.
Unless you use violence to smash it directly, but that may damage the soul gem of the conch.
"What a mess, it's not a worry at all."
"Is it so difficult to respond?"
Lu Yuan suddenly had an idea.
He tried to put the starry sky conch into the storage space.
Things with "self-awareness" cannot be stuffed into storage space.
But this time, he easily stuffed the big shell in...
This means that Miss Conch's soul has indeed disappeared.
Lu Yuan's pupils dilated and he clenched his fists.
"She was taken away by that illusion. Damn it...when did it happen?"
"She... volunteered?!"
A heart sank to the bottom of the sea.
Yes, most likely voluntarily.
Those crazy obsessions just want to continue the "Ascension Ceremony". As long as the conch passes over voluntarily, there is no need to continue attacking others.
After Lu Yuan thought about this clearly, he turned around silently and came to the tree of life, feeling nameless anger in his heart.
In the tawny wind and sand, this large emerald green tree stands alone, and the vicissitudes of the city become more and more vicissitudes in the world.
In his mind, he recalled the low cry of the conch.
And her father’s last motto: [Decide your own destiny and enjoy the freedom to be yourself, this is the ultimate trust of our souls.]
"Is this the fate you have decided?"
"To die and save us all?"
"You're such an idiot, damn!"
The world is a big place and full of helplessness.
Even he, Lu Yuan, cannot go back home and hangs out with the villagers here. In fact, it is a helpless choice...
The sandstorm grew larger at this moment, and the rough sand blew against the face like sharp blades, causing bone-piercing pain.
It really hurts.
Lu Yuan looked into the distance again.
The "Ascension Ceremony" is no longer possible to succeed.
As he grows older, Conch's ability to "accommodate one's wishes" has long since slipped from its peak.
Only one root of the poppy tree remains.
There is only a little scrap left in the "spirit".
There are only some residual obsessions left in the "green paradise".
Everything is no longer what it once was.
Not only will she die, she will die in an extremely painful way - her soul will be distorted and become a terrifying monster.
Thinking of this, the rage in Lu Yuan's heart grew stronger.
I can't bear it!!
"Did I ask you to save us? Do I need you to save us?"
Listening to the violent wind, Lu Yuan realized that he had no choice, and silently took the Tree of Life back into his mind.
He realized that his mentality gradually changed and turned into the peaceful sand dunes.
He made up his mind.
If there are enemies,
Then kill the enemy and save the people.
If there are no enemies and Conch is willing, then scold her. No one wants to owe you a favor. Don't even think about sacrificing yourself!
Your father allows you to live a happy life. Is this how you repay your father?
Lu Yuan had a cold expression, breathed a sigh of relief, and prepared weapons for combat.
The thermal weapons are all in the storage space. They were maintained just a few days ago and should be ready for use.
Cold weapons can be used at any time.
"There are a million monsters in the middle of the city, and it would be good to kill 10,000 of them."
"But if you rescue the conch, what will the Shali clan do? Let them all die?"
The old cat jumped onto Lu Yuan's shoulder calmly, just like it had done in countless battles before.
"I cut down the roots of the poppy tree. That's the best of both worlds." Lu Yuan said firmly.
Although the immortal giant turtle didn't understand what happened, when he heard that the conch had been captured, he became furious and yelled something: "That's my brother's sister."
Lu Yuan put on his best equipment and ran towards the distance at high speed.
It's a rare cloudy day in the desert, with a few clouds like fish scales blocking the sun and bringing a rare coolness to the vast land.
"Comrade, do you hear that? Comrade!" While running, Lu Yuan picked up the eyeball and activated telepathy.
"Listen - see -" came a very slow voice from the other side.
"I'm going to participate in a dangerous battle. If I don't call for a long time, it means I have lost and there is no need to worry about it anymore."
"Pangaea is inherently risky, and anything can happen."
"I have been mentally prepared for survival and death."
Lu Yuan ignored the other party's slow inquiry and hung up the phone.
The closer to a life-and-death crisis, the more his mind becomes clearer.
He moved faster and faster, running wildly through the ruins.
The wind and sand blew on the armor, making a "ding-ding-ding-ding" sound.
In a head-to-head fight with millions of flower buds in the center of the city, he is absolutely no match, not even with cannons.
So, he found a sewer manhole cover and got in. It was a little damp inside, and some crustacean insects were crawling around in the sewer.
According to the people of Sarai, these bugs are reproduced by a supernatural being called the "mother bug". These bugs are highly poisonous and even pollute the water sources in the sewers.
In the dark environment, Lu Yuan did not slow down, but just moved along the sewer in a certain direction.
He always kept the map drawn by the Sarai people in his heart.
He saw a huge female insect.
A fat, elongated insect covered with tentacles, like a termite queen, with a total body length of more than ten meters, occupies the corner of the mushroom's forehead.
A pair of ferocious compound eyes stared at the group of them, and a sharp roar came from its mouth.
"Get out of here!"
Lu Yuan's donkey head mask bloomed with scarlet light.
He raised the black iron sword in his hand, bent his right leg in a lunge, and made a preparatory movement for slashing - he would really launch an attack in the next second, and he would do so in the form of teleportation, bursting out with all his strength.
Kill this guy as quickly as possible.
The old cat also spat out the machine gun in his mouth, his eyes cold.
Perhaps frightened by the terrifying murderous intent of this group of people, the female insect screamed twice and actually retreated.
This insect may have evolved subtle intelligence and did not trouble this group of almost crazy travelers.
Or perhaps, it has just returned to its soul and is a little weak.
It ran away.
"Good luck to you!"
"Wow, wow", they flowed all the way through the twists and turns of the sewer.
Some time passed.
Lu Yuan saw a jade pendant covered with algae on the floor, with a kind-hearted humanoid statue on it, which might be some god believed in by the green civilization.
It was washed into the sewers for a long, long time.
"Bless me, god whose name I don't know, I am going to save the last people of your civilization."
"When she dies, the green civilization will truly perish."
"She is alive and may be able to reproduce the next generation."
Yupei couldn't speak, so he just remained silent.
It was hung on Lu Yuan's chest, swaying and colliding with the armor, just like it witnessed the final collapse of civilization thousands of years ago, it was always silent.
Finally, Lu Yuan saw the buds in the sewer.
Bright and moving.
The constant beating of the buds resonated with his heart, as if it was trying to pull his soul out alive, and strange hallucinations appeared in Lu Yuan's mind again.
Fortunately, there are no living things among these buds.
They live in the sewers, and it is impossible for the strong men of the green civilization to choose the buds of the sewers as their shelter.
These things should have been reproduced later.
"Light curtain!" Lu Yuan whispered in his heart.
A layer of dark red light appeared on the surface of the skin.
The defensive performance of the fourth-level eternal fire can be regarded as resisting this manic resonance power.
He bit the bullet and opened a few flower buds, trying not to hurt them.
"Brother, if there really is a fight, let Mr. Turtle serve as a human shield."
"You saved people, just run away on your own." The immortal giant turtle exhaled heavily from its nose, and there were bloodshot eyes in its eyes. "Master Turtle will not die, at most he will just sleep."
"I understand, thank you brother."
Lu Yuan nodded, opened the sewer manhole cover above his head, and stuck his head out.
There were wriggling flower buds in all directions, and the density of enemies reached a numbing level. Countless flower buds were resonating back and forth. Lu Yuan once again heard the mysterious sound of "The ascension ceremony is about to begin."
If no one stops us this time, we're really going to fucking start!
His eyes widened.
I saw the huge poppy tree hundreds of meters away!
In the gray mist, there was only a wooden stump left of the poppy tree, but it still looked so majestic and exuded a shuddering and terrifying aura.
Its original trunk was torn apart by itself, and the injured area had been tanned reddish-brown by the sun over the past thousands of years.
But even if the upper body disappears, the remaining wooden pile is still a hundred meters high and maintains extremely strong vitality.
Countless branches branched out, blocking the sky.
Those millions of buds are part of the extension of the giant thing.
Compared with the ones in the fantasy world, the poppy trees are a little more ferocious and less elegant.
The overwhelming branches gave Lu Yuan a sense of psychological fear. All attributes could not be detected, and only one name could be seen - [Poppy Tree·Demon].
He had no idea how to fight this behemoth.
All attacks are just scratching, and even a few nuclear bombs may not be able to destroy this unimaginable super life.
Fortunately, his mission was only to rescue Miss Conch. Killing the terrifying monster from the previous era was simply impossible.
