In the last cold winter of mankind, the last two hundred humans of the Green Zone huddled together, enjoying the warmth of their own kind for the last time. Shell was wearing a white beret, and his gray coat was buttoned up tightly to resist the sub-zero cold. Humans lived in a world of darkness and had no time to maintain the cleanliness of the entire city. They even tried their best to protect themselves, let alone live a superior life. The empty cities were whimpering horribly in the bleak wind, as if they were telling the story of everyone's death, while the living could only tremble in vain. After experiencing too much suffering and separation, she still felt that this was an unbearable thing to look back on. Without life, what are we left with? Justice? Evil? Right or wrong? All of this was not important anymore. It was all for the sake of survival. The shells used their abilities to make the animals become human sacrifices, providing them with food and clothing, but it was useless. Humans still died inexplicably one by one. The disappearance of the human element had led the entire human race to a terrifying path, like a drunk driver driving a car on the road. In a trance, the shell seemed to see the most primitive human beings. They also embraced the future like this, but now they had to face the irreparable and known future.
A wail interrupted her thoughts. Another young life was silent in her mother's arms. His head was drooping, and his lips were covered in a thin layer of dust. He must have only taken a short nap before falling asleep forever. When the poor mother realized that something was wrong, she could only use her memory to recall the child who could still talk and be happy.
It turned out that elements were as fragile as everything in the world. Even a living being could not save them. If we had known that this would happen, would we still fight for status, money, or reputation like before?
"Can't you do anything?”The shell cried and asked the gods who had appeared behind him. They no longer needed to play the role of humans and revealed their original appearance. " You're right!" Lord Prayer flapped his four pairs of white wings." Even if we told you earlier, this ending would not have changed."”
"I don't believe it!" " That person will be killed by the dilapidated billboard." Lord Qi sighed and pointed at the person opposite him." I'm telling you now."”The shell's pupils constricted. That person was indeed sitting under a crumbling signboard. The prophecy would really become a reality.
What should he do? He had to save him!
"Danger! Leave that place! It's dangerous up there!"
The man was shocked. He looked up and found the danger. He immediately stood up and was about to leave the place. Unexpectedly, he tripped on a corner of the ruins and fell to the ground, breaking half of his front teeth. His head hit the broken wall and he fainted. The billboard above his head finally fell down. The shell clenched its fists, and a green light flashed in its eyes. Thousands of rats rushed out from all directions to use their bodies to protect the man from the falling weight, but they still did not make it to the last moment. His head was smashed, and the few rats were buried with him.
"Even if someone tried to stop it, it would still happen.”Hearing this, the shell stubbornly raised its tearful eyes. If you guys are so powerful, why don't you help him!”Soler pulled her aside, signaling her not to say anything more. Lord Prayer didn't mind. He took off the ribbon that accompanied her all day and revealed his body in front of the shell.
It turned out that the red flesh and white bones were the true appearance under the ribbon. The wounds were connected together like a gully made of muscles, so deep that one could see the beating organs and bones. The shell looked at the wounds and suddenly wanted to vomit. Not only were they beating with the pulse, but they were also flowing out. If they were not connected to the blood vessels, they would definitely fall out. " This is the punishment for trying to stop 'fate'." Lord Prayer put on the ribbon expressionlessly, and his blood and internal organs immediately returned to his body. We are not gods, we are just a different species from you. You can call us whatever you want.”
In his spare time, Soler pulled the shell aside." In fact, there are not many mistakes in the records of the Prayer in your documents. I don't know who told you that she did love a human prince and knew that he would die one day, so she forced herself to come here and marry the prince on the day of the prophecy. She hoped to use the blessings of humans to resist the fate of being nailed to death. In the end, the Prayer did not resist the urge to mate with him. The prince could not stand her power and died. The Prayer also left behind a 'tainted moment'.”The shell didn't make any comments, as if it was listening to a story that didn't concern itself. Soler shook his head. If he continued to instill such a thing in her, she would not be far from collapsing.
The gray-black city, coupled with the gray-black rain, had a different flavor. The shell did not want to hide in the shelter. It let the ice rain hit its long silver hair, and its bangs stuck together to block its blurry vision. People huddled in the buildings, waiting for their death. Earlier, the shell would encourage them and tell them that everything would pass, but now, she needed someone to comfort her. One person, one person is fine, who can save the pitiful people! The shell knelt on the ground and roared with its heart.
One night, Seashell begged Soler to bring her to the Black Tortoise Hall. The latter did not mind and did so. Without Scorpio, she easily opened the heavy door. The smell of decay still existed, but it was less oppressive and less playful. The shell saw the egret that had turned into a stone statue. She knelt under the throne of the Black Monarch and prayed for his resurrection. The other sisters were either like her, or they had disappeared and were incomplete. The Black Monarch's battle armor was still lifelike. The moment he entered the door, the shell thought that he was really alive.
"What is the reason?" she muttered to herself.
" The Black King is very far-sighted," Soler said." It's just that his enemy is too powerful. Even if he obtains our power, he is just an ordinary species. It is impossible for him to defy 'fate'.”
"Then what is the meaning of such a life?”" What?" Soler turned to look at her." Following fate is the meaning of life." Don't do things beyond your ability, don't try to change your destiny. If you did something that others would think was a miracle, it would be 'destined' after it was completed. It would definitely happen at that moment.”
"That means that the man died because I warned him of the danger?”The shell glared at him.
"The scenery will change, but the destination will not. Even if you don't speak, he will still die.”"Nonsense!" The two words echoed in the empty hall. The shell decided to ignore Soler, but after a while, it blushed and stole a glance at him. Soler smiled bitterly and shook his head." Do you want me to take you back, my lady?”
"This is what you asked for. No, I didn't force you!”"Yes, yes, yes. Please." Soler squatted down and let her lie on his back.
"Where did he go?" As soon as they returned to the Green Zone, Lord Prayer was waiting not far away with her arms crossed. Soler confessed, and she seemed a little angry." Don't run around. There are some things I don't know. If you die, this place will really be destroyed, and we will be forced to move.”
After an unknown amount of time-or perhaps not very long-the number of humans was enough to count. Before that, many people chose to commit suicide. Even if they survived, they would not be able to hold on for long. They could only kneel in a circle and pray for the arrival of God. If they knew that the gods were by their side, would they be crushed by the last straw?
Let's end it, we've had enough. The shell had already lost one eye from crying. She took one last look at the crowd and prepared to leave them.
"Hey! Humans!"
On the coastline, a ray of hope pierced through the despair. The remaining people braved the heavy rain and ran to the port. A big ship whistled and threw dazzling street lights on the sea, forming a line to the corner where the sea and the sky met. "White zone! Go to the white zone!" The people on the ship waved their hands, causing everyone to cheer. The shell turned around to look at Lord Prayer in surprise.
"I didn't say that mankind would perish.”" Don't worry." Lord Qi smiled slyly." My people will accept them.”
The last 200 humans boarded the road to the White Zone. If there were any survivors left on the three continents, the guiding lights would guide them, and the ship would continue to sail. The sailor reached out to pull the shell onto the boat, but she took a step back and refused. " No one can live here anymore," the sailor said doubtfully." Only the White Zone is still habitable."”
"I'm needed here." The shell looked up at the sky. Above the thick clouds, there was a blue sky and a bright starry sky. "I can still revive this place."
I am nature, and this is nature.
In the ruins, a stubborn sprout emerged.
