"When our world was still strong, we also launched a massive counterattack."
In the tavern on the edge of the dimly lit city, Strange listens to the descriptions of old men who are being eroded and transformed by chaotic energy, but still retain their wisdom and humanity.He had already known before that this world had been eroded by the cursed flesh for more than ten years, but according to the old man's description, the flesh and blood with the power of chaos had eroded a continent in the space of three months.At this rate, these humans in front of them should have been gone a long time ago, and they simply couldn't hold out for so long.There must be something hidden in this.The chaotic power of this world is so powerful that it has occupied the vast majority of this world.If these remnants of the world of despair have a way to fight against the strange flesh that has corrupted the world, it must be a very powerful force.So, can this power be used for oneself?
But let's be honest, although the possibility is possible, Strange doesn't have much hope for it.Just look at the group of people in front of you, whether they have ever had the power to fight against chaos or not, and now they have failed, which proves that there is a limit to the power that can exist."
After our civilization migrated to the Western Continent, the world's remaining researchers spent several months setting up a facility on what was once the Northern Continent."
The old man poured himself a glass of wine.His black face had a look of remembrance, and he drank the cloudy, strangely wafty wine and said to Strange, "We draw heat from the center of this world and attack the invading flesh with something similar to a massive lens system. ”"I still remember the cursed flesh that had spread to the northern continent as it quickly receded under the sun-scorching light.""
We were thrilled, we thought we had found a way to save the world...
But we rejoiced too soon. ”"This incineration and obstruction enraged it, and the flesh soon took on a more aggressive side, confronting the 'savior' beam we had set up on the northern continent in a manner that did not count the attrition."
At this, the old man shook his head, and there was the same despair in his three eyes as when the story took place."
Drawing heat from the center of the earth, the beam of light emitted by zoom is so powerful that flesh and blood will be incinerated into ashes when it comes into contact with it, but after all, there was only one such device at that time, and the flesh poured out of the deep sea and gathered in all directions, like a tide and storm made of dirty blood.""
We failed...""
Those heroes detonated the device of salvation before they failed, and the explosion wiped out all the flesh and blood that plunged into the northern continent, but the price paid was that the northern continent also collapsed.""
Can you imagine?
A scene when an entire continent collapses. ”The old man pointed to his heart with his black paws, and he said, "I have seen it, I have seen it with my own eyes." ”"It was a tragic victory, and it seemed to be frightened by our determination, and the erosion of flesh to the western continent was paused for 10 years, and we thought we had frightened it and stopped the flesh from corroding the last island of civilization.""
But no, it realizes that we can hurt it, so it does it another way."
The old man laughed miserably, and he said to Strange with great interest: "It no longer corrodes the ground, no longer corrodes the world, but begins to corrupt us, the last remnants of the world, like the plague in my body that transformed into flesh and blood, which appeared three years ago, like a plague." ”"By the time we found out, it was too late, it took 10 years to study us, study life, find our weaknesses, and then launch an attack in the dark.""
We are so stupid, we have wasted too much time in the 10 years that we have earned through this precious sacrifice.""
We're done.""
Brave warriors and wise researchers were the first to be infected, then our chiefs and officials, and finally able-bodied men, women, children...", the old man covered his forehead, and he whispered: "Our civilization is over, and we are no longer saved." ”"After 10 years, after realizing that the lens device you invented can kill flesh, didn't you continue to set it up?"
Strange asked, "Didn't you think about making more lenses and killing them all at once?"
”"We've thought about it, we've been ambitious, we've even planned the future of civilization after it's rebuilt!"
The old man clenched his mutated fist and said to the curious stranger: "In 10 years, we have improved it, we have set up a larger lens, and our researchers have burst out with unparalleled wisdom!"
But...
Not everyone can make up their minds. ”"The collapse of the Northern Continent is a wake-up call for us, maybe the lens can kill it, but its dying counterattack will also tear apart the Western Continent, which is our last home."
He shook his head and said, "It will die, but we will also die, and if we all die, then what's the point of winning?"
”"We pinned our hopes on the implementation of the deterrence strategy, counting on the power to frighten it with the power of the same end, and 10 years of peace made us think that we had succeeded...
Three years ago, when the epidemic appeared, we wanted to implement the strategy of ending up together, but it was too late. ”The old man pointed in the direction of the city, and he said to Strange, "The infinite forest in the mountains, where the 'Sun' lens device is located, but we can't get in. ”"We don't have any magic in this world, or real superhumans, we don't, we're just an ordinary civilization, and the forest is full of strange evil spirits, the kind of monsters that only exist in our legends.""
They hold back our last hopes, and we'll have to wait to die after the last few elite legions are buried there."
Strange fell silent.He looked at the wine glass in his hand, and he felt sad for the not-so-bizarre stories of this world.After a moment, he asked, "Are there any normal people in this world?"
”"Maybe there's more."
The old man said in frustration: "After learning that the spread of the epidemic is unstoppable, we have set up several permanently closed shelters underground, and sent the children who are still healthy into them, and no one can contact them, maybe they are still there, maybe they are dead. ”"The worst-case scenario is that they, like us, have already been infected."
Strange didn't ask any further.After more than ten seconds, the old man put down his glass, he looked at Strange, and he said, "So, curious stranger, do you have anything else to ask?"
”"Nope."
Strange stood up, he breathed a sigh of relief, pulled his hood down, and said to the old man, "I've got the information I need, I..." he looked at the old man, and there seemed to be an unspoken expectation in those cloudy eyes before his eyes.Strange could read that expectation.He also knew very well that this mysterious, knowing a lot of old man, did not need to tell these things to a stranger as they were, but he did it anyway.He was expecting a kindness.It's like someone who has fallen into the water and is about to drown, desperate for the last help."
Before you came here, I heard stories about you from some 'old friends', strangers."
Seeing that Strange was hesitant, the anticipation in the old man's eyes shone brighter and brighter.He said in a hoarse voice: "I know that you have magical powers, I saw it, the battle that took place in the dark mountains, I saw the light, the light that tore the earth, you are different from us, you have more power than us. ”"Maybe we can't do it, you can do it.""
I know it's rude, and we don't have anything to give you anymore, but as you can see, the world has been desperate for too long."
The old man paused, he tightened the dirty rag in his hand, and in a trembling voice, said to Strange: "I'll tell you everything you want to know, we guys, willing to give everything, maybe it seems ridiculous to you, but it's the last thing we can come up with." ”"Outlander, help us, help the world...
Please. ”"I—" Strange didn't know what to say.He does feel sad about what is going on in this world, and he is willing to help them if he can.But now that this battle has entered a more dangerous stage, it is difficult for him to even protect himself, how can he boast of Haikou at this time.He didn't come here for a simple purpose.The "Sun" lens, which could hurt the cursed flesh, was his last resort against the rest of his competitors, and if he could get his hands on it, he might be able to gain more of an advantage for himself.But looking at the pleading in the cloudy eyes of the old man in front of him, the humility that has let go of all pride...
If Strange had made him kneel and pray, the old man would not have hesitated at all.It was a look that could only be seen when real despair was raging."
I'll try my best."
Strange gritted his teeth and said, "I won't hide it from you, I'm going to get your lens, and I don't belong to the powerful ones you see, I have a hostile relationship with them, everyone is each other's enemies, so I need the power of the lens." ”"But if I could, I'd use it to kill the cursed flesh."
Strange leaned on the table, and he whispered, "I can't promise you more." ”"That's enough!"
The old man standing behind the bar rubbed his hands excitedly, and said, "If the solar lens can be activated again, the flesh that has eroded to the edge of the western continent can be removed, and it will be deterred again, which will buy more time for those who are sheltered...""
Lingering, well, this is indeed lingering, but we don't dare to hope for more."
The old man struggled to straighten up.But it was very difficult for his already twisted spine to do so, and in a comical-looking gesture, he clenched his paw into a fist and thumped Strange in the chest."

The world has been oppressed by despair for too long, we are like people walking in the dark, we can't see the future, we long to see the light, even if it is the last light before the end of the day...", he said: "If we are destined to die, I and my brothers are more eager to die with hope, and those who are still alive also need solace in their hearts." ”"Courage can help them survive this darkest hour, please light it!"
He turned, clawed the oddly shaped wine cabinet behind him, and with the sound of glass shattering, he took an empty bottle with a rolled-up scroll from the bottles, handed it to Strange, and said, "This is the map to the underground equipment of the solar lens, the last thing I can get my hands on." ”"Light the lens, light the last flame of courage in this world.""
Thank you, kind stranger, and we will be grateful, whether we survive or are doomed to perish."——————————— Strange walked out of the tavern.He didn't even dare to look back at the old man and the alien in the tavern who could still maintain his will to bid him farewell behind his back.They also sang strange songs, presumably ballads of the world's blessings to the warriors.But Strange didn't feel the glory, he only felt the pressure.Heavy, breathless pressure.The last hope that a group of desperate people pinned on him was only a trivial plea, but Strange never imagined that the expectations given to him by others would be such a heavy thing.He could have breached the contract, he had already gotten what he needed anyway.But would he do that?
Would a self-proclaimed hero do that?
And most importantly, can he do it?
He was the weakest of all the contestants, and perhaps even the strongest Doom wouldn't dare to pat his chest and say he could.To be saved, it takes not only courage and sacrifice, but also strength.And strength is what Strange lacks the most at this time.With this chaotic thought, Strange left the silent city, and he had to rush to the dark jungle in the shortest possible time, without stopping or delaying.The explosion caused by Doom had only injured the competitors, but had not completely routed them.The chaotic forces that exist in this world are constantly eroding the bodies of outsiders, which is an invisible time limit.Under the double pressure, the competitors are like whipped beasts, and in the increasing agitation, the bloody battle is also on the verge of breaking out.Strange was sure of his own strength, and he didn't want to be targeted.But luck is not subject to human will.Minutes after walking out of the city, Strange encountered a roadblocker, and in a cliff pathway, the Blacktongue Strategist hovered over a rock.It looked at Strange walking briskly in front of it, a strange smile on Ebony Throat's noseless face.It lifted its emaciated finger and waved it slightly.The next moment, in the roar of the beasts, those flesh-and-blood alienated monsters pounced out of the darkness around them, like the most loyal beasts, and pounced on Strange under the command of Ebony Throat.Obviously, even if the competition has just begun, there is no one Strange trying to use the power of this world, hope is power, and dark despair is even more so.The wild mage reacted quickly, he grabbed his wand, drew his battle axe, and when his hand fell, the first monster to pounce was immediately beheaded.But more monsters trapped him in a trap.Ebony Throat didn't even plan to say more to Strange, as it saw the golden alien trident that Strange was carrying behind his back, a weapon that Proxima Centauri never left his hand and his companion had been killed by Strange.This made Ebony Throat feel a little angry in his heart.It raised its fingers, and the rock under its feet rose rapidly under the control of a strong will, and like the carving of an invisible hand, at any time, sharp stone cones were densely spread all over the ebony throat.Its gray eyes were full of cold light.It's going to fulfill the Dark Order's revenge, it's going to do what it has to do, and it's not just because of this scramble...
The matter has turned into a personal vendetta.That's...
Blood for blood, tooth for tooth!
