Blood Candle Keep Disciple

Chapter 551 Not Eternal Twilight

Launceston is the seaport at the northern end of Tower Island.

In the era Zhen Cheng and the others were familiar with, starting from here, sailing northward overnight could reach Port Melbourne in the southeastern corner of the Australian mainland.

This is also the original route drawn up by Gerrett and others.They planned to stay here in mainland Australia and migrate to the central desert area.

There is very little precipitation in that place, and the business that is affected by the strange rain is relatively mutated, and even the mutated things that are eroded by the deadly darkness will also decrease.

Although productivity has suffered a devastating blow, human technology has never really broken down.

Gretel is sure to lead the surviving humans to establish a safe underground town in the desert to thrive.

These are cases where the dark changes are progressing as expected.

And if the darkness does not run as predicted, their backup plan is to go all the way through the old sites of the big cities on the east coast to resupply, take the Indian Ocean and cross the Suez Canal, and go to seek refuge in Thetis, the hope of Europa.

Floating across the sea on the earth ruled by darkness, it is doomed not to escape the claws of darkness.But the experience accumulated over the past 50 years has also taught the survivors how to survive in the dark in a short period of time.

In fact, the person who first summed up those regulations was Gerrett's father, Zhen Cheng's late old friend, the great detective, and the leader of the survivors without camps, Epilens.

I hope Thetis has more advanced technology than the old times, has the foundation to ignore the threat of darkness and rain, survives safely in extreme environments, and even has a quality of life that these refugees may never have seen in their entire lives.

But they still regard defection as an alternative that they will only consider when they have to.

In the final analysis, it is because the human beings who chose to gather here do not want to participate in the struggle between human beings.

They don't mind risking their lives to fight mutant insects, and they don't mind enduring the pain of having to undergo amputation surgery to maintain a normal human shape if they accidentally get caught in the rain.

But they don't want to face each other with similar weapons.

Different from these people, Hope Thetis, Yuanzu Thetis, Songhai Heart and the human beings of the Rebirth Society hold different ideas, actively cultivate game candidates, and fight each other in the game world and reality.

Some of them are just for their own ambitions, some are for the future of all mankind.Right and wrong are hard to say, I am afraid only God can judge.

That's right, these are the tasks that are currently in front of Zhen Cheng's eyes.

It is not too difficult to subdue all forces by killing wantonly with thunder.But it is not so simple to subdue human beings for her own use, to want people to sincerely submit to her, and to fight with her against powerful enemies that seem out of reach.

Following Gretel into the settlement, what she saw were pairs of lifeless eyes full of despair.

These resolute human beings have survived and developed for half a century with hardworking hands and intelligent minds in this land where the living environment is not inferior to the abyss of hell.

But today is the most desperate day in their lives.

They gambled all their hopes on the big ship, even with the rations they needed to live on.

But now... everything is lost.

"Where's the boat?" Standing on the embankment of the port, Zhen Cheng asked curiously.

The so-called "swallowed by darkness" doesn't really mean that when you encounter darkness, you disappear without a trace?

If the darkness covering her hometown had this characteristic, then there should be nothing left on this planet when she left.

"There..." Gretel pointed to the distance at the sea level.

Speaking of the so-called eternal twilight, after nearly three days of walking on the earth, Zhen Cheng and his party really felt it.

For more than sixty hours, the sun has neither risen nor lowered by half an inch, and has always hung half-dead at the end of the horizon, scattering a dying golden light all over the ground like a returning light.

Looking around now, the horizon became the sea level.Only the unstoppable sunset still hangs there.

In the halo of the setting sun, a bit of darkness is particularly eye-catching.

With the guidance of senior sister on the road, Zhen Cheng has been able to flexibly use the basic power of the true god.Looking through the five-dimensional space, the scenes more than ten kilometers away are presented in her eyes in detail.

Zhen Cheng was shocked by the sight in front of him.

It was a giant steel beast that could carry three to five hundred cars.She couldn't imagine how these naked people in the doomsday used mortal strength to build such a giant.

But she can imagine that such a ship carries the spiritual sustenance of all people.

It's just the name "Steel Behemoth", not a metaphor.

Under Zhen Cheng's nose, the bow of the ferry suddenly split open, turning into a huge steel mouth several hundred meters wide, with iron teeth and copper teeth, chewing and tearing a mutated octopus more than 30 meters long in one bite.

Instead of crushing it with one blow like a closed trap, it chews back and forth like a beast with bite muscles...

The delicacy of the movements is simply unimaginable.

Zhen Cheng was dumbfounded.So this is what "swallowed by darkness" means?
"Weird Rain" can mutate any creature, and "Deadly Darkness" can even give life to inanimate objects?
Do not!Zhen Cheng was keenly aware that the ferry boat had not turned into a living creature like a mechanical life, but more like...

became part of the darkness.

She finally understood what Gretel said, that the darkness is alive, but it is neither being controlled by people nor having self-awareness.

From the perspective of a mortal who was born and bred on the earth, it is really impossible to understand this state.

With Zhen Cheng's current experience, she feels that this mass of darkness that is subdued by the earth and covers most of the earth is more like...

Some kind of ancient existence, similar to the state of Sister Shabu when she was asleep.

"I'll go and have a look." Elogens became interested, broke through the sound barrier with a "bang", and ran towards the distant sea boat riding the waves.

Zhen Cheng nodded in agreement, then sighed.

"You don't seem to trust her power much?" Justice raised an eyebrow.

Zhen Cheng shook his head: "I don't think there is any enemy in this world that my sister can't solve.

Rather than not trusting her strength, it's better to say that I don't like my sister's way of dealing with problems..."

As expected. Ten minutes later, Alogens ran back the same way with a beaming face, and his body was still stained with a mixture of engine oil and sea water.

She bared her canine teeth and gave Zhen Cheng a thumbs up: "How is it? It's all settled!"

Justis was stunned, while Gerrit and all the refugees with binoculars on the port guard tower were filled with uncontrollable despair.

"Sister..." Zhen Cheng held his forehead and sighed: "What exactly did you solve?"
