Chapter 228 The Thing in the Dark
If it weren't for those damn guys, he would have been a demon lord now, no, even a demon duke!
However, before the old demon could finish, his current master, the reckless, secondary demon lord "Baron of Blood Sacrifice", interrupted him physically with great displeasure:
"There's nothing to be afraid of, old man. The era of those guys passed away hundreds of years ago!"
As he spoke, he retracted the meat hammer that had smashed the old demon to pieces, and no longer paid any attention to the rotten fleshy corpse, responding to the call of the arrival with a look of invincibility.
To him, it was just an ordinary day.
Soon, after a slight trance, he descended into a dark area. The area was closed on all sides and he could only see a large number of high-level sacrifices on the altar in front of him, which were also somewhat unfamiliar to them.
These offerings smell delicious...
But what puzzled him was, what about those who had summoned him here?
An inexplicable feeling of palpitations suddenly rose in my heart...
He suddenly felt a little uneasy, but before he could think further about what was going on, a terrifying wave erupted from underground at a speed that even he could hardly react to.
“Damn it!”
In his dying moments, he only saw a flash of white light breaking through the ground, and then his consciousness disappeared.
Boom…
A huge mushroom cloud rose from the ground like a little sun, almost lighting up the night. Amidst the deafening sound, the horrifying shock wave spread in a circular shape.
Even though they were at a considerable distance, Colin and the others could feel the slight vibration under their feet.
"This is Yuan..."
Colin couldn't help but sigh. He had the honor of experiencing this once before in the "Self-Selected Trial", but unfortunately, he died before he had time to savor it.
Now I look at the rising mushroom cloud from afar and feel the breath of destruction in the air.
He couldn't help but feel emotional, feeling the greatness of human creations and his own insignificance in front of such things.
"Now I don't even have the strength to withstand a nuclear bomb, so I must be humble and not impatient."
Pursing his lips, Colin looked for about two minutes before putting away the telescope and asking everyone to drive towards the nuclear explosion site.
In order to be able to arrive at the scene as soon as possible, they certainly would not use nuclear bombs that cause too much pollution, but instead used a type of nuclear bomb that is more efficient and more environmentally friendly.
In addition, their own strength is strong enough, so even if there is some residual radiation, it will not be a big problem.
However, even though several minutes had passed, they could still feel some residual objects falling from the sky from time to time while they were moving.
"I hope it doesn't get blown into space, or blown to pieces..."
Colin prayed silently in his heart.
Soon, after passing through the nuclear explosion area that was almost flattened like a ruin, they came to the edge of a huge pit. From the broken pit, they saw some broken meat wriggling like maggots.
The direction in which the pieces of flesh were wriggling was a heart-like object the size of a rotten watermelon...
"Amazing, he can still survive in this condition." Someone on the side couldn't help but exclaimed.
"After all, it is something with a certain 'divinity'..."
Colin was not surprised at all. He was about to say something when he suddenly felt a tangible gaze full of resentment.
The source of that sight seemed to be the heart on the ground. A bloodshot eye had grown on it at some point, and the eye was staring at him intently, filled with ferocious hatred.
"What are you looking at?"
Colin snorted, and without hesitation, he jumped down the pit. In the process, he pulled out his "Revolver Retrograde", aimed at the heart on the ground that was almost as big as his, and shot decisively.
Bang, bang, bang——
After firing thirty-two rounds in a row, Colin got stuck on the last shot and did not make any further moves.
Colin stopped and a mouth grew on the huge and strange heart.
"Haha, damn human, give up. This weapon is useless to me. Your only solution is to use that thing again. However, an attack of this power is obviously only possible once for you."
"When I gather and revive, you're all dead!"
"I will let you know what cruelty is!"
"But now, if you kneel down, admit your mistakes, and hand over that weapon to me, I will give you a chance to atone for your sins..."
"I can even make you my subordinate and grant you a transformation in your life level..."
…
So much nonsense... Colin didn't say anything. He looked around and saw pieces of meat of different sizes on the ground. They were approaching the main body.
If he didn't think it was a bit troublesome to look for fuel everywhere, he wouldn't have listened to this thing.
However, after more than ten minutes, when he felt that the blood had almost gathered, Colin raised his right hand and shot the heart in front of him, which had already gathered some flesh and blood and started beating again.
"Human, I told you this thing couldn't be...what?!"
The heart weakened rapidly after the 33rd bullet, as if it had received some kind of fatal blow...
At the same time, flames surged on Colin's body, sweeping from the soles of his feet to the surroundings, engulfing all the broken flesh. Weird screams emanated from the flames.
Five minutes later, the screams gradually subsided, and the pieces of meat in the flames were burned to only some materials that could not continue to burn. They were charred black, like pieces of oily carbon, containing surging power.
Seeing that the situation was almost over, Colin retracted the flame and was about to call for the researchers to come up and collect the bodies, but an accident suddenly happened.
I saw that one of the charred pieces of meat suddenly exploded, and a core inside it shot out like a cannonball, as if it wanted to leave the area, and its speed was incredibly fast...
"Damn it, I was careless!"
Colin quickly came to his senses and wanted to move, but then he paused.
He heard a terrified scream coming from that direction...
The next second, the charred piece of meat seemed to be thrown out from the darkness by something and landed not far from Colin.
Colin turned his head to take a look, and at this moment, it was completely dead.
"What is that?"
He could tell by the smell that something had briefly appeared, then killed the "demon" piece of meat, and then left, leaving almost no trace.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Some other people followed in, and seeing that Colin didn't move, they couldn't help but ask.
"It's okay, just pack your things."
Colin shook his head. He had some guesses about what had helped him.
But he didn't think much about it and asked people to start picking up the materials on the ground.
Armed personnel from the "Human Future Institute" wearing yellow protective suits walked in and picked up the greasy carbon.
"Finally I can leave..."
Colin breathed a sigh of relief. Now everything was ready, except for the final step of driving.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will be able to leave soon.
"Are we leaving now..." Qin Chuan couldn't help but say something. After being trapped for so many days, they even felt it was unreal to think that they could leave immediately.
"Let's take a good rest first..."
As he spoke, thinking of what had just happened, Colin closed his eyes slightly, feeling the quiet darkness around him, and said thoughtfully: "Next, before we set off, we will not encounter any danger, nor will we encounter any danger."
Whoever puts them in danger is against this "world"...
After all, they are not the only ones who want to leave this world.
