In the night sky, Lin An looked down at the earth silently, as if he was an independent observer from the entire world, integrated with the darkness.
He turned off all communications and stopped thinking about anything. From this moment on, he planned to examine the world and himself.
How far man is from God, he does not know.
He doesn’t know what it takes to transform from a human to a god.
But Lin An knows that everything he has experienced, encountered and endured in his two lives will eventually be integrated into one today.
His thoughts, ideas, persistence, and understanding of all things will be transformed into invisible beliefs, giving birth to Him who is divine.
"From human to god, it is by no means an overnight success, but a painful and long transformation. Every day, we deny ourselves and find the only correct way."
"The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. When this responsibility exceeds the critical point and crushes people, the character that reappears is both personality and godhead."
Lin An looked down at the lights at his feet.
This is near the outer city of Long'an. The safety zone is well constructed. He can hear everyone's voice and see everyone's joy, anger, sorrow, and joy.
Zhang Tie asked him more than once, asking him why he didn't escape and why he didn't give up.
What should we bear? What should we do if we care about so much? Why should we save those people? What is our responsibility?
To be honest, Lin An didn't know it at first.
Like all little people, he just wants to live a good life.
But it was like an invisible transformation. From the beginning of his rebirth, he only wanted to become stronger so that he could survive with An Jingtian and the others.
after that.
Wen Ya, Zhang Tie, Gao Tian, Chu An
The students at the academy, the Yuntian siblings, the humans who are copies of Amoeba, the survivors in Linjiang, and the Wangjiang War Zone
Chinese in South Korea, Linjiang Province, Qinghai Theater, Military, China, Soviet Russia
From the Savior Team to Long'an, from China to Asia, to the whole world, and even the Tianmu clan who are far away.
The team is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more people believe in Lin An.
Step by step, Lin An only felt that the pressure was getting bigger and bigger. The pressure on his shoulders was almost overwhelming. He could not die, make mistakes, shrink back, or show any weakness.
He no longer represents himself and cannot live for himself.
Lin An was often confused and asked himself the same question as Zhang Tie more than once.
With great power comes great responsibility, right?
"because"
"Can see, can hear, can do."
Lin An asked and answered himself, looking at a hut at his feet. It was the most common and the most ordinary hut in the gathering areas outside Long'an.
The light in the hut on the far left is warm, and inside is a father and daughter.
Sitting cross-legged on a simple canopy bed, the man is a second-level awakened person. He looks lovingly at the little girl who is sewing her boots. On the map in his hand that is about to be turned over, there are heavy circles with red pen.
Make a circle.
The Chinese New Year was coming soon, and the city was closed due to heavy snow. He wanted to collect more supplies so that the father and daughter would not go hungry.
Of course, maybe you can also find a small dress in a shopping mall that has been searched countless times and use it as a New Year's gift for your daughter.
After silently clenching his fists and making a decision, the man couldn't help but be attracted by the shouting next door.
Next door is a group of young people.
He didn't feel noisy, only full of vitality and vitality.
On the right side of the cabin, there is a group of young people laughing and cursing loudly.
In the room, everyone in the team raised their bottles of wine and thought loudly about the future.
"We must make a name for ourselves in Long'an next year! If our team works together, we will definitely be able to survive!"
In the corner, a young man also had a smile on his face, but subconsciously, he couldn't help but look at the other room on the right.
Next door is the girl he silently admires.
When he hopes to become the third level, he will apply for residency in the inner city and confess his love to her.
In the third room, the lights in the room are dim.
A girl with short hair hugged her legs alone and stared blankly at the photo in her hand.
That's a family photo.
"Mom and Dad"
"I will live well"
"Bang Bang"
The fourth room was a dark hut, inside which a strong man was silently polishing the weapon in his hand.
He raised his head and looked toward Wangjiang City, a hundred kilometers away, with determination in his eyes.
"I will find you"
You want to see people when you are alive, and you want to see corpses when you die.
In the fifth room is a mother and son. The son squats in front of the hospital bed, feeding his mother medicine. He looks at his mother's worried eyes.
The boy just proudly took out a medal and signaled to his mother that he had joined the official team and there was no need to worry.
In the sixth room is a young couple. The man looks at his wife's belly lovingly and gestures with the newly bought clothes in his hand.
Thinking about how long it would take for him to save enough to contribute, he couldn't help but promise his wife that maybe next year they could move to the inner city.
Withdrawing his gaze, Lin An flashed a red light in his hand and teleported to the outside of Linjiang in the next second.
It was different from what he saw and heard in Long An. Almost as soon as he appeared here, Lin An heard the cries and roars of humans.
If we say that under the rule of Long An, although people's lives are not very good, most people have hope, or expect that they can become stronger, or are eager to join the officialdom, or fight for their families and loved ones.
So here, in the three provinces of western Shanxi next to the Wangjiang War Zone, even the night is darker.
At Lin An's feet, he saw at a glance the garbage mountain outside the safety zone. Hundreds of scavengers were divided into several groups and confronting each other.
Although they were both at the bottom, everyone was staring at each other, clutching the crude weapons in their hands.
What the three parties were fighting for was a tin box containing several packets of damp salt. For scavengers, this was tantamount to great wealth.
As a condiment, salt is indispensable to people. A pack of salt costing 7.5 yuan before the end of the world can often be exchanged for dozens of kilograms of grain.
There is no doubt that whoever can get it can survive this winter.
When the fighting started, the leading man did not hesitate and hit the leader of a group of teenagers with a stick.
Brain Burst, compared to these children who don't have enough to eat all year round, he has an advantage among the scavengers because he is taller and stronger.
He didn't care how many people would die in this melee. For the scavengers, every life in exchange for a sausage was worth it.
During the melee, people's blood almost soaked through the white salt in the box. During the fight, a thin little girl relied on her inconspicuous advantage to crawl under people's legs like a mouse.
All she could see was the salt blocks that had been snatched and scattered on the ground. She jumped up and landed on the salt blocks.
However, as soon as she got excited and wanted to grab the salt block and run away, the next second, a foot stepped down angrily, crushing her fingers.
"ah!!"
She couldn't help but scream, but compared to the pain of ten fingers to the heart. The girl seemed to be willing to fight, and she wanted to cry regardless of the pain. The girl stretched her head desperately to reach for the salt block, opened her mouth, and put the fist-sized
Eat the salt cubes raw into your mouth.
Just run away.
I don't know if it smells like blood or damp salt.
The girl resisted the nauseating salty smell, which seemed to be bitter on the tip of her tongue and ran away.
She knew that as long as she could run away with this piece of salt, she could exchange her sister for an anti-inflammatory pill, which might cure her sister's ulcer. If she saved some more money, she might ask the supply team to take them on the bus.
Fleeed to Linjiang.
I heard that people can have enough to eat there. The god-like man in the picture will also protect them.
However, before she could run a few steps, she heard a whooshing sound and an ax flew from behind, hitting her leg directly.
The huge impact was like breaking a branch. The girl's right leg was instantly broken, and bloody bone stubble was exposed at the ankle.
After falling to the ground, the girl was still trying to crawl away in fear. Soon, two adults rushed out from among the scavengers and rushed to her.
Seeing the girl holding the salt in her mouth, she almost ran away with it.
The two of them were furious and took the girl directly from her
He pulled out an ax from his leg and made a gesture to chop off her head.
"Cut her head off! If you can't take it out, use her head as a salt shaker!"
Withdrawing his mental power, Lin An turned to look at the edge of the city in the old era.
I saw a convoy speeding away on a road full of weeds. Behind the convoy was a mutated giant wolf.
Or maybe it's a dog infected with a virus.
Although it only has second-level strength, for most survivors, this is an irresistible nightmare.
At the end of the convoy, on a modified off-road vehicle, several awakened people looked at the wolf's mouth getting closer and closer in horror.
The foul smell of rotting corpses almost made Men and the others vomit.
In the huge open mouth, you can vaguely see a severed hand hanging from the teeth.
"Drive faster! Drive faster! We will all die if we are caught up!"
"I can't keep distance! The car is too heavy!"
No matter how hard you press the accelerator to the bottom, the off-road vehicle filled with "junk" can only act like a panting old cow, as if it will be scrapped in the next second.
However, the people in the car seemed reluctant to leave the garbage behind even until death. The next second, a young man sitting on the roof of the car did not hesitate to grab the boy next to him and throw him away from the car.
"No! Brother! No!"
Seeing that he recognized that his brother was about to throw him out of the car, the young man grabbed the roof handle tightly and subconsciously wanted to beg for mercy.
The car was too heavy, and his life was obviously not as valuable as a few cotton clothes.
"I gave you money! Brother Wang! You promised to take mine! I beg you, my mother is still waiting for me outside the city to bring food back! I don't want to die, no"
"boom!"
Facing the younger brother he had taken in, the young man looked ferocious and without saying a word, he just slashed the boy with his fingers and kicked him out of the car.
His short fingers were hanging on the roof of the car. The young man known as Brother Wang had cold eyes. He looked like he was collecting sausages. He simply grabbed the boy's short limbs and stuffed them into his arms. He ignored the last begging for mercy and turned away.
.
Yes, he agreed to this kid to take him as a member of the search team.
The boy is also considered talented and has a good chance of becoming an Awakened One. If you train him well, he might become a formal member in the future.
But, if you die, you will die. A "good seedling" like this will not be more valuable than this truck of supplies. He only needs to hook his hand, and there are many low-level survivors like boys, begging to join them.
.
With a grunt, the boy was kicked hard out of the car.
Looking at the bloody mouth biting him, the boy's eyes were full of despair.
He is not afraid of death, what he is afraid of is that after he dies, he can only stay alone in a tent, selling his hair to raise the registration fee for his sister, how to survive in this cold winter.
Take back your mental power.
Under the bright moon, Lin An turned his head slightly and looked at a defense line where gunshots were ringing.
The roar of gunfire turned into fire snakes in the dark night, smashing the corpses rushing out of the darkness one after another. However, no matter how strong the firepower was, it could not stop the huge mutants in the corpses.
Seeing the metal-like tank roaring towards the defense line, a large number of Awakened soldiers on the city wall could only drop their rifles and were forced to jump off the wall and fight the monsters in close combat.
At the foot of the city, a soldier whose lower body was trampled to pieces and whose intestines flowed all over the ground was holding his companion's hand in pain.
Just ask the other party to give you a happy life.
He knew that although he was rescued, he might not die with the vitality of the awakened person.
But no one can care about him, everyone is working hard, and he knows that even if he survives, he will only be a useless person.
I saw the soldier vomiting blood and looking at his comrades with pleading eyes;
"Brother! I beg you, please take away my equipment and sell it."
"You keep the money, as long as I keep my mother from being kicked out of the safe zone, don't tell me to die."
"She can't bear the blow if she has nothing left."
Take back your mental power.
Lin An looked at a group of refugees on the wasteland far away from the city.
On an iron pot that was set up, a woman with disheveled hair and a look of madness was desperately fishing for something in the pot. Her palms were burned by the red-hot iron pot, giving off a smell of meat.
piping hot
The clattering sound could not stop the woman's desperately searching hand.
Behind her, a group of refugees just held the bowls in their hands numbly, drinking the broth one mouthful at a time.
Slowly close your eyes.
In just a few minutes, Lin An had seen too many tragic scenes.
Every minute and every second there are people suffering and struggling in despair.
Even if he closes his eyes, his extremely powerful five senses will transmit all the sounds and vibrations within a radius of thousands of kilometers into his ears in every detail.
He could hear the screams of the monster, he could hear the screams of the woman who was being raped, he could hear the heart-rending cries of his parents starving to death in front of him, he could hear the woman who was being forced upstairs.
The survivors on top fell to the ground with a sound of despair.
Being too powerful is actually a kind of torture.
Even if Lin An takes the initiative to close off his five senses, not to see, not to hear, not to smell.
But his powerful, realm-like mental power can also stuff all the information within thousands of kilometers into his mind.
It's like being there, it's more painful than seeing or hearing it with your own eyes.
He is too strong.
The strength of his body and soul can even allow him to sense emotions "in the air".
"With great power comes great responsibility. This sentence is not naive. It sounds like nonsense about the weak restraining the strong, binding."
"It is a kind of substantive torture that constantly questions human nature."
"If you can't hear, see, feel, or notice, then anyone can naturally stay at ease and not do anything. And you won't suffer any mental condemnation."
"But if you can hear and see"
"Even if you stay in your room, you can hear people being raped and killed thousands of meters away, a team being attacked by zombies, a group of helpless children crying, and thousands of people trapped in a sea of fire.
, there is a war zone suffering disaster.”
"what to do?"
"If there is nothing you can do, you will not be able to rush over quickly enough to save them, your power will not be enough to kill the mutants, your strength will not be enough to extinguish the flames and prevent the disaster."
"Of course, I will only feel regret, pity and pity, but that's all."
"But what if it can be done, is it a matter of effort, is it easy, what if it can even be saved with just a thought and a burst of mental power?"
"Once tortured, once ignored, ignored."
"But what if you see it a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times, a hundred thousand times?"
Slowly opening his eyes, Lin An asked himself questions in his heart.
The answer to the question, he actually decided to gather his faith a long time ago and found the answer when he went to the battlefield of stars.
At this moment, it was as if he had gathered his own beliefs and forged his own godhead, pieced them together, and found a more correct answer.
"Unless you abandon your human identity, abandon everything, and cut off all past emotions, you will definitely go crazy."
"Unless you are absolutely cold-blooded and ruthless, like a machine, there will always be something, a tragedy that will touch you."
"But God needs people, which means that it is impossible for God to exist like a dead thing."
"Of course, maybe that's another way."
With his eyes flashing, Lin An began to integrate all his understanding of gods and people.
"All living beings suffer."
"I want to become a god."
"Now, I can save everyone, but in the future, after I save everyone for a short time, I will always encounter difficulties that even I can't solve, and I don't have that much energy to save everyone."
"so."
"The only solution is to gather common beliefs so that everyone can draw strength from the aggregation of beliefs and let people save themselves."
"In this way, we can avoid being bound by faith and not be afraid of backlash. Because it is not me who saves people, but the people themselves."
"only"
"My belief is to end the doomsday and kill the source of all pain and evil."
