Volume Four, 161: Counterattack(1/2)
From the content of this report, it is not difficult for you to see how serious the situation Fieldland was facing at that time was almost at a disaster.
It seems that if we do not implement measures that violate normal moral concepts, we will completely collapse before being rescued.
But in fact, the final situation is even more difficult than you think. If the song started from the bottom of your heart hadn't started at the last moment, we might have been dead, and we wouldn't have told you what happened at that time...
——The above comes from the memories of a survivor who has personally experienced the incident at that time.
…………
After Guberna took away all the demon hunters, facing the last wave of crazy killings of the aliens who entered, the ordinary humans living in the underground passage had no ability to resist at all.
Even though the process of mutation has increased their physical strength a lot, and even if there are still many guards equipped with suicide bomb devices, they can face it, after all, a demon who is stronger than an ordinary lord-level devil, as well as many intermediate aliens led by it, as well as those who have long been prepared for suicide attacks.
With the huge difference in strength, the tragic phenomena that happened here are simply unbearable to witness.
Almost like the autumn wind swept away the fallen leaves, starting from the first passage of these aliens to dozens of passages in the future, thousands of lives living inside turned into lifeless pieces of corpses under the ravage of evil, and the sprinkled blood dyed a real road to death red.
The cowards ran around in the rear, telling more people with screams and crying. What they feared the most was.
The brave man raised the weapons in his hand and stood in front weakly, and then was torn apart fragile and cruelly, and continued to become something like the corpses on the ground.
Until those guards who had a desperate intention to undergo a frontal lobe surgery have arrived.
Watching the steps of death closer and closer, they opened their stupid but firm eyes, and used their ugly bodies to form walls of humanity to block the attacking aliens.
They shouted the name as hope, and then resolutely waved their fists and hit the sensor.
At this moment, blood was burning and flesh was roaring.
They told the invaders of their guardians with countless flames and body parts that exploded. They would never take a step back.
Because there are others behind them.
You can hear from the names they shout. Among them are their relatives, their lovers, and their friends who are familiar with each other. This is the most important memory they have loved and lived here. Even if they have become a monster who cannot return to normal human life, they are unwilling to give up. Give up what they care about the most. They even pay their lives and future for it.
Under these huge roars that exploded at the cost of life, not only the channels were shaking, but also the aliens were trembling.
Faced with the explosions soaring into the sky and the collapsed mud and stones, they had to pause their steps and greedily and regretfully watched the delicious flesh and blood slip away from their mouths.
However, for those who have just survived the approaching death, they cannot be grateful for anything.
Listening to the explosions behind, tears of sadness flowed in their eyes.
When a person is willing to die to protect you, even the most disgusting person will be moved. Moreover, previous experiences have told them why these dead people have become like this.
Countless people asked themselves secretly, and the heart-wrenching pain was passed down in the hearts of every surviving person.
Why are we so powerless?
Why do we watch others die for ourselves?
Why can't we stand up bravely, stand in front of those aliens, and use our weak but strong strength to tell them that I am not afraid of you, I can protect others.
...
At this moment, countless whys sounded from the hearts of these people.
It seems that humans have been asking questions since the wilderness. Faced with the harsh natural environment and the powerful natural enemies and beasts, this most urgent desire to change allows them to create text tools and build a powerful civilization to unite and protect everyone; this most sincere unwilling anger allows them to burst out with the most powerful force, defeat nature, defeat all beasts, and become the real masters of this world.
At this moment, it seemed as if a force heard their shouts, which sounded in the passage, appeared in everyone's ears, and then resounded in his heart.
"I've been tossing and turning lately, and it's hard to fall asleep..."
"I hope we can break through the darkness one day..."
"Don't hide in the dark and damp sewer..."
"There is no need to be afraid to cry alone..."
“For my family, I began to pray devoutly as much as I can….”
"I would rather give up that world of luxury..."
"I would rather give up that materialistic life..."
"Just let us break through the darkness and look up to the light, yes, look up to the light!"
"Life is like a winding vine, the moment of disappearing is carrying the next continuation..."
"Faith is like a rushing river, and the brief silence is accumulating energy for the next outbreak..."
“I have no vitality, but I am fearless…”
"I'm scared, but I have hope..."
"I believe that this world has not been buried by despair, and the most persistent pursuit is still flashing in my eyes..."
"I hope that we can one day break through the darkness and look up to the light, yes, look up to the light!"
“For my family, I began to pray devoutly as much as I can….”
"I felt love from it and found that they could burn like a river. It spreads to every dark corner..."
"Hope is our [love], which comes from the desire deep in our hearts, and it brings light..."
"I watched the darkness fade away, savoring what we learned in fear and despair, those persistence, those desires, those demands..."
"I believe that we don't have to be afraid of the darkness in the future. We can always look up to the light, yes, look up to the light!"
The song seems to be telling them the answer and how to do it so that they can change these powerless things.
"I've been tossing and turning lately, and it's hard to fall asleep..."
"I hope we can break through the darkness one day..."
"Don't hide in the dark and damp sewer..."
"There is no need to be afraid to cry alone..."
"For my family, I began to pray devoutly as much as I can..."
Inexplicably, a person began to sing with the sound in his heart...
"I would rather give up that world of luxury..."
"I would rather give up that materialistic life..."
Then, there were the voices of two people...
"Just let us break through the darkness and look up to the light. Yes. look up to the light!"
Next were ten people, hundreds, and thousands of people, until countless people began to sing this song that could reflect their emotions and wishes...
When singing "Life is like a winding vine. The moment it disappears, it is carrying the next continuation...", they remembered the families who risked huge dangers to go out to find food but just to make themselves fill, and the families who protect themselves every time they encounter danger... They are no longer afraid of escaping. They gradually clenched their fists.
When singing "Faith is like a rushing river, the brief silence is accumulating energy for the next explosion...", they remembered the sorrow and prayers they had when they saw their sudden death, and the desire and efforts they desperately wanted to change when they heard that their family was hungry... They were no longer weak and could be bullied, and gradually stood up straight.
When they sang "I am not energetic, but I am fearless...", they remembered those who had undergone a frontal lobe surgery and became stupid but had a dying intention... They were no longer afraid of death, and the same will gradually flashed in their eyes.
When singing "I am full of fear, but I have hope...", they remembered those who have become vegetatives and lying in the safe passage... They are no longer confused about the future, and they gradually have the same hope on their faces.
When they sang "I believe this world has not been buried by despair, and the most persistent pursuits are still flashing in my eyes...", they thought of the parts they had allowed themselves to persevere... They no longer felt cold, and their hearts gradually became warm.
When singing "Hope is our [love], which comes from the desire deep in our hearts, it brings light...", they remembered their belief that they had to survive and live with their loved ones until the end... They are no longer troubled by the process of change, and their bodies gradually emit a striking light.
And when singing "I watch the darkness fade away, reminiscing about what we have learned in fear and despair, those persistence, those desires, those demands...", invisible illusory light belts extend from their minds, and then gather in the same position.
In a vast space full of pipes for sewage intersecting treatment of sewage.
Here, a voice that gathered the voices of the crowd, but only had one tone of voice sounded.
"The sun is bright and the night is vast;"
"Ghosts and monsters, nowhere to hide;"
"The evil party is alien, fearing my holy light;"
"The holy emblem is always there, and the light is always shining;"
...
There were more than 200 voices of varying importance and weight singing this oath from Green Lantern here.
However, they are not suffering from cosplay madness, but there are very important reasons that prompt them to do so.
Because as the tone of the oath gradually became high and the voice became grand, the badges of the Knights of St. John they wore began to emit white light. Under its influence, the inhuman characteristics transformed by the process of change slowly returned to normal. After the oath was completed more than a dozen times, they had completely recovered to what humans should be.
"Very good, everyone here has no problem. You have confirmed that the words you have said are sincerely willing to do everything for the humans outside, otherwise the holy emblem will not be triggered and thus stimulate the positive energy inside."
Looking at the completion of this scene, Mr. Liu showed a satisfied smile and asked these people cautiously.
"But I still want to ask you again in the last time, are you really willing to join the urban management force? You must know. Once the oath is completed, you will never have the chance to withdraw. The price of violating the oath is to be directly incinerated by the positive energy triggered by the holy emblem. And you should notice the mortality rate of your predecessors. It has only been a little more than five days. It has almost changed. You need to consider it clearly."
However, in the face of Mr. Liu's major issue that concerns life and death, more than 200 people of different ages, genders, and skin colors responded with the same firm tone.
"I do!"
"Okay, since you are so determined, then follow me to read it." Mr. Liu nodded, took out a golden and ancient box (the kind in the Holy Library), put it on the platform in front of him for a few times, and recited some unclear sentences silently. Then he opened it and took out the oath note left by Chen Xi to him, intending to guide these people to read the oath together.
In fact, he had asked Chen Xi why he was so complicated and unnecessary. The relevant oath told him directly, and why he wanted to do so mysteriously, but Chen Xi's answer made him think deeply.
"Rituality seems a bit unnecessary, but the tedious steps are a very important process of experience and perception for humans. It can make people calm down in a solemn atmosphere, slowly but heavy rhythm, fade away the restlessness of daily life, and think about the meaning of what they are going to obtain, and why they do this.
In this process, it can force you to be more determined to do that. This is usually the fundamental reason why we are obsessed with something. Such as religious rituals, the crowning and awarding of secular power, and the rules of apprenticeship and discipleship are all for this purpose."
