Chapter 86
They were not far from Chu Yunsheng, the powerful shockwave instantly smashed all the windows. The houses in the village weren’t built of concrete. It wasn’t solid enough to withstand the shockwave. Within a few seconds, many houses collapsed onto the ground.
Chu Yunsheng had nowhere to run, he was heavily injured and exhausted. He even started to lose consciousness. Eventually, he was knocked out by the shockwave and buried by the building that collapsed on top of him.
All he felt after was complete darkness, and he suddenly felt pains appearing everywhere around his body. Then, he couldn’t remember anything anymore.
In the building debris. No one knew how long it had passed. Chu Yunsheng seemed to see his mother preparing the dish he liked the most in the kitchen, and his father watching a boring tv program on the sofa. It was the scene that he used to see every time when he returned home in his childhood. It didn’t change at all. His father even said exactly the same words that he would say every time, “Oh, you back, are you hungry? Your Mom has prepared the soup for you already. Go wash your hand first.”
The sad memories instantly made him burst into tears, he rushed towards his Mom and embraced her from behind. He wanted to tell her all the panic, fear, loneliness and the most important how much he missed her.
He wanted to tell her a lot of things, but in the end, all he could say was, “Mom… I miss you!”
Then the scene suddenly changed.
An overloaded truck suddenly appeared along with an ear-piercing braking sound and crashing noises…
The sound just came from below her. Chu Yunsheng seemed to realize something, he immediately tried to move the body away. However, she was still stuck there. He had no choice but to slice the entire car including her legs into halves. Then, he discovered the thing that she used her life to protect. It was a little girl, who was roughly five years old.
The little girl’s hair was plaited behind her head and she was wearing a blue cotton coat, she was holding a stuffed toy and her face was as pale as a ghost. There was a huge hole in her stomach. She was already dead. The voice Chu Yunsheng heard came from the bloody stuffed toy she was holding.
Chu Yunsheng was beside himself with disappointment. He sat on the ground and leaned against the car’s door, unable to control his breath.
Suddenly, the ground started to shake again like an earthquake!
“Is it the golden-shelled insect or other monsters?” Chu Yunsheng sneered and then laughed out loud, “Come… come you those bastards, they all died, all died, I don’t want to live either!”
“Boom … Boom… Boom…”
The shockwaves constantly came from a distance, and each time it would shake Chu Yunsheng and the car behind him.
Underneath the hazy shimmer, he soon saw a monster that could destroy everything on the earth appeared.
A gigantic long leg monster slowly appeared on the horizon. It was so big that he did not even know how to describe it. Each one of its legs was almost as tall as a thirty-story high building. The shockwave occurred every time when its leg hit the ground! And everytime, the ground would shake violently.
It appeared on the horizon and disappeared on the horizon. It did not notice Chu Yunsheng at all.
Chu Yunsheng completely lost his hope, ‘this world is long gone! it is over!’
He quietly took out the stuffed toy and sat on the hillside. Staring at the endless bodies, he subconsciously took out two brand new batteries and replaced the old ones in the stuffed toy.
Suddenly, the wind appeared, seemingly from all directions, blowing at Chu Yunsheng, and making his broken grey coat flapping constantly in the wind.
As Chu Yunsheng pressed a button on the stuffed toy, an innocent little girl’s voice wafted through the air in this Saha World:
“Firefly, Firefly, fly slowly
Summer night, summer night, wind blowing slowly
A child who fears dark, please sleep tight
Let fireflies give you a light
Little glowing bodies in the night
Guide travelers at night to the right direction
In their short life, they glow all they might
Allowing the dark filled with hope
Firefly, Firefly, fly slowly
My heart, my heart, still chasing………”
