Chapter 253: Crawling out of the pile of dead people
The overwhelming sound of fighting came.
The sallow and skinny laborers below the city platform were helpless. There were fighting in all directions, and they could not find their way out.
But on the city platform, a masked priest shouted to the people below: "Whoever can be chosen by God can become the Son of God. Regardless of status, anyone has a chance..."
These words reached the ears of those laborers.
"I, can I too..."
"Could we, too, be sons of God?"
The priest raised his head, opened his arms, and said loudly: "Climb up, climb up to the city platform, climb up..."
The priest's voice seduced everyone under the city platform and aroused the desires hidden deep in people's hearts.
"Climb up..."
"Climb up..."
One after another, figures climbed towards the altar, and some people scrambled to climb up, stepping on their bodies.
"Only I can climb up! Get out!!"
There was a complete chaos under the city platform with roars one after another.
"Who do you think you are! I am the Son of God!"
Waves of smoke and dust were raised under the city platform, and shouts and roars spread to everyone's ears.
Some people were at a loss, others were at a loss, but what followed was a sudden change, and the fight spread from the initial fight of dozens of people to hundreds or thousands of people.
Everyone seemed to be going crazy and rushed towards the city platform. One person climbed up and was pulled down by another. Not long after, someone was trampled to death under everyone's feet. Some people knocked on the city platform and rolled down. After a while, they were dead.
Stiff.
"Mine! It's mine!"
"Go away!"
Fighting, desire, killing, fighting...
These emotions spread inside and outside the city platform, and these roars were mixed with the sounds of fighting.
The dog looked around blankly.
He stepped forward and rushed towards the altar.
"Stop fighting!"
"Stop fighting!"
The dog shouted, pulling everyone along.
But he was kicked down and said, "Get away!"
The dog fell to the ground, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the swarming crowd.
At each step, dozens of corpses were used as stepping stones to be trampled on.
The dog sat slumped on the ground, with despair and helplessness in his eyes.
All destroyed...
All ruined...
"Why did it become like this, why..."
The dog murmured in his mouth, and the feeling of powerlessness deeply devastated his heart.
He endured all the suffering and changed everyone's hearts, but with just a few words, everything was ruined.
Chen Changsheng walked slowly over and stood behind the dog.
He raised his head and glanced at the priest on the city platform.
The priest felt the gaze and looked at the person standing under the city platform.
The priest didn't pay attention, but looked at the blood of tens of thousands of people in the distance. Through the mask, there seemed to be hope in his eyes, expecting more people to die.
Gou'er was dejected, turned to look at Chen Changsheng and said, "Can you save them? I beg you, please save them."
Chen Changsheng looked down at him and said: "Whether it's under this city tower or outside the city tower, all the fighting is caused by desire. It has nothing to do with me or you. Life and death are their own choices.
"Those who do not save themselves will have no one to save them."
In just a moment, the dog's eyes lost all their luster and he collapsed completely.
…
The battle up and down the city platform lasted for two days.
Countless corpses were piled up inside and outside the city platform, and the hills formed one after another were filled with a strong smell of blood.
There was no sound around, and no birds or animals dared to come near here.
Corpses were piled up one after another on the steps of the city platform. When someone died, there was no regret in his eyes, but unwillingness.
The air of death filled the sky, and the vultures circled in the sky, biting off a large piece of carrion as they continued to swipe down.
The priest sat on the city platform and watched the scene below.
"it's over……"
There was some pity in the priest's eyes, but then he showed a bit of cruelty.
He lowered his head and looked down the city platform.
"Um?"
The priest was stunned for a moment, and he saw the green shirt again.
And beside that man was a young boy.
"Just stay still."
Chen Changsheng called to the dog, and then he walked towards the city platform.
The priest stood up and frowned when he saw the man walking ten steps away in the blink of an eye.
It wasn't until Chen Changsheng came to him that the priest could see his face clearly.
"May I ask if your Excellency is..." the priest said.
"People from outside the country." Chen Changsheng said.
The priest thought about it and didn't ask any more questions when he saw this.
Chen Changsheng turned his head and looked into the distance, and what he saw was densely packed corpses.
Chen Changsheng asked: "Is anyone alive?"
"some."
The priest said: "Maybe he will crawl out of the grave in a while."
Chen Changsheng nodded and asked, "Chen has some doubts and would like to ask the priest to answer them."
"Just asking."
The priest was a little afraid of this person. He couldn't see through him and didn't dare to act rashly.
"Is this a game?" Chen Changsheng said.
The priest did not hide it, but said: "Yes."
Chen Changsheng said: "With such heavy karma attached to me, I'm afraid I won't be able to survive in the future."
The priest fell silent and then replied: "This is my fate and the fate of everyone who climbs the city tower."
The priest reached out his hand and took off the mask from his face.
Chen Changsheng saw an old face, and there was a particularly clear scar on the man's neck.
"Meng Qiuliang." the priest said.
"Good name."
Chen Changsheng immediately asked: "But Chen is a little curious, what does the fate you talk about mean?"
Meng Qiuliang's voice was old, and he continued: "This world is far from being as simple as it seems. Natural and man-made disasters are just the tip of the iceberg. The destiny of the Son of God is to preserve this remaining human world."
Chen Changsheng probably guessed a little bit, and then he understood.
He asked: "But are there too many people dead?"
"Not much at all."
In Meng Qiuliang's view, if this world completely falls, then there will be no hope at all.
What does it mean if more than 10,000 people died?
While he was talking, he saw movement in the pile of dead people in the distance.
I saw a man with a broken arm crawling out from the pile of dead people. He supported his body with a spear, stared at the city platform in the distance, and walked forward step by step.
"People are here." Chen Changsheng said.
Meng Qiuliang looked at the man and said, "He is a good boy."
Chen Changsheng saw the man holding a spear and walking step by step until he reached the steps. During this period, the man fell down several times but got up again.
Meng Qiuliang turned his head to look at Chen Changsheng and said, "I'm going to die soon. Can you help me carry out the unfinished words?"
"Bring it to whom?" Chen Changsheng asked.
"An old woman named Ning Yuan, just tell her, just tell her..."
Meng Qiuliang closed his eyes and said: "Forget it, let's not talk anymore."
"Why didn't you say anything again?"
"Just don't say it anymore."
Meng Qiuliang breathed a sigh of relief, turned to him and said: "You should leave quickly. When the city platform opens, all life in a radius of more than ten miles will be wiped out, and you will die too."
Chen Changsheng shook his head and said, "Chen is standing here and watching."
Meng Qiuliang paused for a moment and stopped trying to persuade him.
