Chapter 141 Above the Wasteland
The iron-gray sky is almost pressing down, swallowing up all the colors.
Even after decades of scrubbing, the radiation dust in this area has not been completely dispersed. As far as the eye can see, it is filled with dust, sand and gravel. The rugged wind-eroded rock walls suddenly stand up. Only a few contain hidden treasures. In the gaps in the soil, vegetation sprouted with difficulty. In order to prevent being eaten by wild beasts, these vegetation were also leaden gray due to long-term evolution.
Even in the wasteland, this area is lifeless. Even the refugees would not choose this place as their temporary camp.
But today, there is an exception.
The violent roar of the engine started in the distance, and within a few breaths, it quickly got closer and closer.
A figure was galloping at high speed in the wind and sand.
If you don’t want to get a mouth full of sand, or even have your face scratched by the gravel carried by the wind, people who drive here should take necessary protection. But at this moment, the figure driving the motorcycle straight forward did not have any protection at all.
No helmet, no hard glasses, not even a scarf to prevent sand from entering the underwear.
——But the so-called "wind sand" cannot get even close to this figure!
As the locomotive continues to advance, the wind and sand are still howling, but once it gets close to the locomotive, sparks will burst out with a "bang". Outside the spherical field with the locomotive as the center and a radius of half a meter, a large number of sparks continue to appear and extinguish. .
It's like two hard substances are sputtering out sparks under rapid friction.
But this is not "friction", but simple "burning".
When every grain of sand and stone hits Song Shi, the psychic flames surrounding it will be triggered in a stress-like manner, burning it to ashes.
“——Tsk.”
Glancing at the piece of gravel that broke through the "defensive field" and passed by his side, Song Shi couldn't help but let out a light tut.
This "defensive field" is constructed by oneself with psychic flames. This is an application method of psychic flames, not a real psychic skill, so it is difficult to completely isolate all wind and sand. If he had acquired the psychic skill [Scorched Earth], the scene at this moment would never have occurred.
——Where I stand is scorched earth.
The wind and sand will be completely burned out the moment they get closer.
Unfortunately, [Scorched Earth] cannot be obtained in a short period of time.
Song Shixin said.
But another psychic skill, [Rendering], if the map given by Flashing Star is not marked incorrectly, or the changes are not big, it should be available in the near future.
Due to the continuous wind and sand and the roar of the engine, the music in the headphones gradually became quieter.
Song Shi sighed, took his right hand away from the handle, and pressed on the in-ear headphones to turn up the volume.
“Warm reminder, raising the volume above a safe level will damage——”
Press the headset twice and the warning stops abruptly.
These songs played in the headphones are the property of the "Qidi Music" platform launched by the giant company [Dust Contract Generation].
Backed by giant companies, it holds a huge amount of music copyrights of all kinds, and has attracted a large number of high-quality musicians with extremely generous resources. At the same time, it has signed contracts with the mainstream cochlear implant manufacturers on the market. As a built-in application that comes with the latter from the factory, it is now the undisputed leader in the field of music applications.
The super membership required for the top quality Super-Hi-Res (extreme high-resolution audio), even a flash star cannot get a pirated account. So Song Shi settled for the next best thing and played "lossless" sound quality.
I don’t know how long it has been.
At the end of the deep sky, the eternal iron gray became lighter for the first time. This is a sign that we are about to leave this "radiation zone".
At this moment, a huge amount of sand and gravel suddenly burst out from the side of the locomotive!
——Boom!
Time seems to stand still.
In the turbid sand mist that flew all over the sky and carried a large amount of gravel, an outline of more than three meters long broke out of the ground and jumped up. The scales that were originally tightly fitted and smooth, making it easier to sneak underground suddenly stood up, and a piece of Pieces of chitin are raised high.
Something like a lizard, but much larger than the former, the monster has a split mouth, accompanied by two rows of sharp teeth and a scarlet forked tongue, which is filled with corrosive saliva.
It flipped in the air and bit into the locomotive below!
The next moment, time flows again.
So, everything came to an abrupt end.
Without even looking at the adult "sand stone lizard", Song Shi put away the heavy sword with his right hand, shook off the sticky blood, and reinserted the sword into the scabbard on the side of the motorcycle.
Behind the locomotive, before there was even time to scream, the Sand Lizard still in mid-air was split into two - starting from the cut section, red-gold flames surged out with a roar, killing them all. Swallowed, smashed back to the ground, rolled a few times, and gradually turned into ashes.
About ten minutes later, Song Shi stopped the motorcycle.
There is a natural barrier blocking the way forward.
It was a rift valley about several kilometers wide and an unknown number of meters long.
Carved by the wind all the year round, as far as the eye can see, it is the same dark yellow color, with large areas of bare rock walls standing tall and rugged.
It was as if nature had made a joke. This huge crack suddenly appeared on the land that was supposed to be a hilly plain. This wound on the earth snaked along the surface and into the distance. Spreading, even with Song Shi's eyesight, it was difficult to see the end.
But this is never a "natural danger".
Song Shi got out of the car and slowly walked to the edge of the rift valley.
He stared into the depths of the rift valley, and after a long time, he raised his eyes and looked at the sky.
In the cold wind carrying the smell of dust, thinking of the records, the young man seemed to see the past scene here -
One of the predecessors of the [Pan-Eastern Continent Federation], the Sky Mother belonging to the Eastern Continent Republic The ship came here with an attitude of indifference, carrying flames that burned out everything.
The coalition government, which has not yet been forced into bankruptcy and reorganization by companies that have not been secretly cannibalized, and will be reintegrated into the [Enterprise Alliance] in the future, also mobilizes military power. Under the protection of batches of air defense fleets, it belongs to The latter's space carrier also took off, and at the end of the sky, the two sides started a collision of iron and fire.
Fires bloomed one after another in the sky, like crackling fireworks. The broken fragments were scattered all over the sky. In the interlaced energy beams and guided weapons all over the sky, they were burning and slowly falling downward—— To this day, many rusty remains are still buried deep in the nearby ground.
For a moment, the "Positron Cannon" as the ship's main weapon was finally fully charged. An unprecedented dazzling torrent of energy penetrated the entire sky, but it was still not close enough to actually hit the target. Instead, Scratching the ground below.
As a result, from the annihilation effect of positrons and electrons, even the concept of "matter" became insignificant. Under the bright light that was enough to blind the eyes, the earth was split open and evaporated in an instant, leaving behind what has never been seen yet. Trauma that can dissipate.
Song Shi stood on the edge of the rift valley, overlooking the surrounding fields.
This is the scene that can be seen everywhere in the Seven Lands War in the past.
