If I don't have money to go to college, I can only go to slay the dragon

Chapter 601 That year is over
Revelation 20:7
When the 1000 years are over, Satan will be released from his prison, and he will go out to deceive the nations of the four quarters of the earth, Gog and Magog, and gather them to fight, and they will be as numerous as the sand on the seashore.

—

Black yellow sand, countless yellow sand, the wind is no longer whimpering and whimpering, the wind has been endowed with a new sound, and even a new shape, they caress on the dunes like a woman The light yellow soft yarn covering the face is like a flowing wave rising and falling along the high and low piles of sand.

When Su Xiaoqiang realized that she was still "alive", she took a step forward, and then stepped back a few steps as if she had returned to her soul. The touch under her feet was not the grip of the concrete floor, but the deep yellow sand Out of control and chaos, she fell backwards and fell on a piece of soft gravel. The surging and indescribable smell flooded into her nasal cavity from all directions, making her almost suffocate.

Since she was lying on her back on the ground, her eyes only fell on the sky, and the only thing she could see in her field of vision was the oppressive yellow-brown color, as if the diluted blood had stained the works using the sky as the paper. , the sky has a solid body because of the color, as if it will be pressed down anytime and anywhere, sticking heavily on her cheek.

She struggled to get up, supported the ground with her hands and touched the hot yellow sand, like a person trapped in a swamp trying to save herself, although the sand was not deep enough to submerge her, she seemed to be submerged in sand and water When it comes to the neck, it is generally so panicked.

She struggled to stand up, stand still, then looked up instinctively, trying to figure out where she was, what time it was, where the people she loved and valued were.But the moment her eyes fell to the horizon, she froze, as if she had turned into a statue and froze on the spot, unable to move.

The sky in this world is dark yellow, it may be the dawn or the afternoon, but now it is hard to tell, the huge sunset hangs at the end of the horizon, and the yellow sand connects the sky and the earth as if putting the whole world in a desert.The leaning building stands in the distance of the sky, like a mourning giant whose body is half buried in the loess. They lower their heads and mourn the withering of the steel forest. The sun is their blood, which tilts little by little until it dries up. The last drop fell into darkness.

There is no doubt that this is a city, the city she is familiar with, but this city has sunk into the ocean of sand, and in the sand and dust, only the arms of the steel giants are left sticking out of the water, everything is submerged , endlessly, deliberately.

Standing in the yellow sand, she looked around blankly and terrified. She saw familiar font-shaped buildings, but only sharp points remained of these buildings in the yellow sand, but it could be vaguely seen that this was Shilan Middle School.

Yes, Shilan Middle School, the ivory tower in the coastal city where the elite students grew up, she recognizes it. There is a voice in her heart telling her that this is that place, the old place where she stayed for three years, and the city is also that A city, and a school is that school.

In a trance, she slowly recognized this place according to the corner of the building where the yellow sand was faintly exposed. Now the yellow sand has filled up the plastic track of the playground, the rows of green cypress trees, and even the tall teaching classroom. The buildings were also submerged.But she can still vaguely see the highest arch at the school gate, an arc protruding from the yellow sand, and a signboard erected beside the arc, on which only the faint mottled "Shi" protruding from the yellow sand can be seen. The characters, even "officials" are only left to be scholars, and the rest have disappeared, just like the students in this school.

What's going on, what happened?The city of Shilan Middle School. No, what happened in this world?
Great doubts swept her mind like a storm and a storm really came.

A wind suddenly blew, with a rustling sound, ranging from slight to intense, countless yellow sands were rolled by the wind and hit the remaining outcropping buildings, making fine and trivial sounds, blowing across the empty sand field. The face of the girl standing blankly on the empty sandy ground brought her pain like an ant bite, which made her unable to help but raise her hand to cover her face and squatted down to avoid this sudden attack. The wind is coming.

Fear and helplessness filled her chest, she looked left and right to find a shelter from the wind, but everything in the teaching building in her memory was submerged in yellow sand, so she could only walk out with difficulty, she walked through the After stepping on the sand dunes of the former playground and now, stepping on the gate of the college with only an arc left, and came outside.But even so, so what, the outside is still yellow sand, the city is no longer a city, the streets are no longer streets, and everywhere you can see are long yellow sand and dead buildings.

Suddenly, the wind stopped.

The trivial sounds in the ear suddenly seemed like a person jumping off a cliff to commit suicide and fell into an arc. After the last grain of sand fell to the ground and caused a tiny splash, everything fell into silence. Seconds, and then loosened gently, the light passed through the slits of her hands and shone into her eyes, a grotesque, strange, performance art gradually appeared on the retina, which made the soul fall into dead silence picture.

If the city of steel is a giant drowned in the sea of ​​yellow sand, then the ants floating on the water are the ants that once lived in the steel jungle. In the boundless sea of ​​sand, the unstained wax either prostrates, stands upright, kneels down, or stretches its hands into the distance, as if praying for something or fearing something.

Their direction is unified, east, they are worshiping towards the east, like pilgrims.

So Su Xiaoqiang looked further east, the east side is the tower, not the towering Pearl Tower in her memory, now she can even see the Pearl Tower that should have been blocked by the city, because of the yellow sand The ground has been raised, so now she can see at a glance the only half of the point buried in the sand in the distance.

To the east of the tower, it should have been the sea. The Pearl Tower is a coastal building, but now the sea has been filled with endless sand, and the vast sea of ​​sand can't be seen at a glance.

This scene really makes people think that once upon a time, there was a heavy rain in this city and in this world, but what fell from the sky was not rain, but endless yellow sand, until the city was submerged, the sea was filled up, and evaporated All the moisture was removed, leaving only this doomsday scene.

Where there is disaster, there must be miracles.

There are miracles, and that is the huge black shadow that enters the clouds on the sea of ​​yellow sand. To the east is a tower, not the Pearl Tower, but a truly magnificent pyramid that pierces into the sky and makes people feel frightened.

She is so majestic, you can't see her top when you look up, you can only see the brownish-yellow clouds engulfing the tower body, surging, as if licking the body of the pyramid, one side of her body falls on the endless The sea of ​​sand is like a wall that reaches the sky. Up, down, left, and right are infinite, infinite death and awe-inspiring majesty.

Su Xiaoqiang stood blankly in the city flooded by yellow sand, and the huge red sunset behind her provided a blood-like light source for all this, illuminating the maroon doomsday.

She looked at the giant beyond the limit of imagination on the sea of ​​sand in the distance. In her comparison, how weak and pitiful the miracles of the world that human beings were once proud of were. Bricks, tens of thousands, trillions of square bricks are stacked together, constantly upward and upward, and piled up to form this myth, this is not the Tower of Babylon.

After the great flood, the first rainbow appeared in the sky. God came and said: "I put the rainbow in the clouds, and this will be a sign of my covenant with the earth. When I make the clouds cover the earth, there will be a rainbow now." In the clouds, I will remember my covenant with you and with every living creature; and the waters will no longer flood and destroy all living creatures.”

The flood has come, but there is no rainbow, no flesh and blood. This world seems to have come to an end, and she is the last traveler in this world.

Under the dark and oppressive sky, she was walking in the dim doomsday city, surrounded by white wax statues. When the wind blew, they would drop white ash like embers of a volcano. Su Xiaoqiang didn't know how they were formed , but they never questioned their identities during their lifetime.

She passed two statues standing together, with a gap of tens of centimeters between each other, and an arm was also missing. It is conceivable that if the arm has not been covered by yellow sand, they should be held together, probably promised Life and death are inseparable, and it is not life and death that separates them in the end, but the natural wind, sand and time.

A statue of a man raised his hand toward the east as if to block something, but that force swallowed him like a flood and a storm, leaving behind stalactite-like spikes on his arms and sides, which can be judged by that force It came from the east, and its indomitable momentum submerged everything in it.

There are two slightly smaller statues in front. No, it’s one, the other is squatting. It should be a weak woman crouching and holding a small child, comforting him and protecting him before the end, telling him everything will be fine Yes, the child was ignorant, maybe he was crying, maybe he wasn't, looking at the extinction light in the distance was like watching a firework.

There are old people, young people, and children in the statues. Their faces have been worn out by the wind and sand, but what cannot be destroyed is their past stories, the last images and images preserved before the unknown disaster. A frightening story of the brilliance of human beings, a story that sends chills down the spine.

Su Xiaoqiang walked over step by step, the more she walked forward, the more difficult she felt. She walked in the sea of ​​white trees, those who used to be as fresh as her, but now they have become statues.Indescribable emotions rose from her chest, and she was suppressed by the panic and helplessness. She didn't know why she was here, and what all this meant. She just kept walking, as if there was something It is urging her to move forward until she reaches the final destination.

Half an hour, maybe longer, if this is a dream, then this dream is too long.She walked to the once tallest Black Prince Building in the coastal city. Just like the Pearl Tower, this dark building is only a few tens of floors above the yellow sand, and the incomplete glass curtain wall is reflected on the yellow sand. The appearance of the girl, this is also the first time she saw herself clearly in this nightmare.

In the dream, she was wearing a dark green school uniform. She remembered this school uniform, the school uniform of Kassel College. She remembered more clearly where she was before she came to this world, and who she was communicating with. Nian, yes Lin Nian, she can't find him here, then this is just a nightmare, a real, absurd, impossible to wake up nightmare.

She stood in front of the glass curtain wall in a daze, looking at herself inside as if looking at someone else. She felt that the people inside the glass curtain wall were so strange, as if they shouldn't appear in such absurd and absurd places. in the scene.

The person in the glass moved, but Su Xiaoqiang didn't.

No, what moved was not the person in the glass, but the thing behind the glass, inside the building. It was a figure. When Su Xiaoqiang was staring at his own reflection in the glass in a daze, he happened to coincide with the girl's reflection inside. The moment he moved, Su Xiaoqiang discovered his existence!
"Who?" Su Xiaoqiang took a step back and was so frightened that she wanted to shout out, but at this moment, the more turbulent tide drowned out her words, and the roar came with a strong wind.

It was the sound of the wind tearing apart, with the sound of explosion and a huge shadow, Su Xiaoqiang looked back, and saw a huge shadow coming from the red sun occupying most of the sky in the west of the world His wings are like clouds covering the sky, covering almost all of Su Xiaoqiang's sight of the sky. That graceful ancient body is full of endless power, and the black scales full of profound patterns reflect the boundless world of yellow sand. Those eyes are the doomsday scene of lava!

He came with the doomsday, swept through the roar of the supersonic boom and the strong wind, and his wingspan covered the entire city. He swept through the air and carried behind him a black sandstorm that engulfed everything. .Facing this desperate disaster, Su Xiaoqiang threw himself on the ground and covered his mouth, nose and head as much as possible.

Just before she was engulfed, the thing passing by at a height of a thousand meters glanced down at the ground, and a black sandstorm blasted past, thousands of white statues crumbled into dust, and even the vast city Countless buildings creaked and collapsed amidst the roaring sound, like sand sculptures collapsing and kicking up countless dust. The whole city and the whole world surrendered under His black wings like ants.

He didn't see anything in the black sandstorm, but for a moment, he turned his eyes away and rushed to the miraculous tower on the sand sea in the extreme east, his throne.

It took half an hour for the black sandstorm to extinguish, the city once again fell into dead silence, the water level of the yellow sand rose again, and only a few four or five floors remained of the original dozens of floors of the Black Prince Building.

Now the girl is no longer seen on the street outside. She may be dead, or she may be submerged in the yellow sand and suffocated.

Everything passed in silence, and the apocalypse did not collapse because of the girl's passing, as if this was not a simple dream.

There was a click, crisp and sharp like a silver bottle bursting.

The glass curtain wall on the top floor of the Black Prince Building was shattered, and the glass slag fell from a high altitude and sprinkled into the sand. The sound of the explosion was particularly ear-piercing in the deserted city, but it was quickly drowned out by the desolation of the sand. .

Behind the shattered glass curtain wall, a thin figure stood in the window of a high-rise building, his eyes condescending and scarred were quietly looking at the yellow sandy street.

The whole world seems to allow only one person to appear. It was Su Xiaoqiang before, and now it is him. In the far east, the pyramids that look like gods and miracles are hidden in the vast clouds, and the red sun and blood light are dragging his shadow behind him in the darkness. in the floors.

"We don't seem to be discovered by him." Suddenly a woman's voice sounded behind him, breaking the eerie silence.

From the shadows on the floor came out a woman in full armor with long dark red hair, "We can't stay outside for too long, His eagle dogs are all over the ground, and sooner or later they will find us."

"He glanced at the ground just now, maybe he noticed us but didn't bother to kill us all?" Someone said in the darkness, and at the same time several heavy figures of different heights walked out.

It is not difficult to guess that they are the real last walkers in this doomsday land.

"The war hasn't started yet, don't shake the morale of the army first, shouldn't you Japanese pay more attention to the spirit of 'jade breaking'? Sometimes I always wonder if you are an authentic Japanese." A man with a slightly Henan accent The voice sounded faintly, "I kind of miss the days of fighting side by side with the Japanese 'Emperor', at least he would only draw his sword at the enemy instead of saying timid words of frustration before the battle."

"Hey, hey, we're still some distance away from the Great Pyramid, and we haven't arrived yet. Are you sure there's going to be internal strife now?" There was a frivolous and unscrupulous voice smoothing things over.

"Shut up, this is the last chance. This is our only chance to get close to the kingdom of God. We have already died too many people on the way from Japan." The woman whispered, "I still remember the principal in Shanghai Did you say that when you died in the landing battle?"

"I don't have the belief to go forward. It's just that I don't go there, but pass here." The first man said softly, and then he suddenly smiled, "But...we really still have the so-called forward belief?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was suddenly lifted up by a companion who hadn't spoken all the time, and slammed into the wall beside him with a loud noise, shaking off countless mottled pieces of chalk. Everyone looked sideways at each other but no one tried to stop it.

"Erika." The woman whispered, "Let him down, we don't have many people now. You should know that he hasn't lost his faith. He may be the last among our group."

The girl in the dark red combat uniform who lifted the man grabbed the man's neckline with her right hand, exerting a terrifying and strange force that was incompatible with her age and appearance. Numerous cracks spread on the wall behind the man, and those dark red pupils He stared at the man's dim eyes without moving, while the other party just looked sideways at other places and didn't meet her eyes.

After a few seconds, she let go, and the man on the wall dropped his ass and sat on the floor with white ashes.

"Sooner or later, this team will be finished sooner or later!" The frivolous voice couldn't help but sigh and began to add insult to injury, continuing to bring the atmosphere to the bottom, "If I knew it, I would follow the vice principal and those idiots from the equipment department and run away with oil on my feet The Spine of the World has taken refuge, why do I have to come to this Death Squad to make up for it?"

"The Genji Brothers"

The woman said that the voice was not loud but it attracted everyone's attention, including the owner of the frivolous voice.

"Patriarch Inuyama, Patriarch Fuma, Patriarch Sakurai, Patriarch Ryoma."

"Principal, Professor Guderian, Professor Manstein, Minister Schneider"

"Chu Zihang, Xia Mi, Mandy Gonzalez, Vileva Helsinki, Lancelot, Suzy, Zero"

She read the names one by one, and every time she read a name, the expressions on everyone's faces changed, until finally the silent man by the window moved his fingers at the edge of his trouser legs.

"Okay." The frivolous voice said suddenly.

"Okay." After a few seconds of silence, he sighed again, "Stop talking."

"What are we always standing here for?" The woman whispered, "This is our belief in moving forward. The principal has taught us these principles when he rushed into the dragon tide on the Bund with the alchemy bomb at zero activation time; Chu The death of Zihang and Xia Mi in front of the resurrected bones of the three monarchs bought the last time for the retreat of the academy and taught us what we have forgotten; The opportunity of the well; Vileva, Susie, and Lancelot used the alchemy matrix as fuel in front of the Lu Shen engine to carry out the final human fire. There are too many reservations, too many things that can't be finished. Faith? Predecessors Our belief is our belief, and we must keep going forward, because we will never forget the belief of going forward."

Every time she said a word, the heads of the people in the room got lower and lower, but the Japanese man in the corner was looking up at the ceiling with the same emotion in his eyes.

"The vice-principal is deciphering the documents in the Great Library to find the last wedge on the road to becoming a god. Our task is to go to the final place to find him, then persuade him, and finally bring him back to our side. This is the only thing we can reverse. There is hope for the ending." She said, "This process may kill more people, but if we don't do this, the beginning of the new era will really be settled."

"A new era?"

Everyone silently looked out of the window of the shattered glass curtain wall, the maroon sky and endless wild sand all year round. All kinds of doomsday scenes of destruction are being staged. If this is the so-called new era, will the moment when the dust settles be the moment when human beings become history?

In the end, everyone's eyes fell on the window of the glass curtain wall. The man who kept silent during the discussion was wearing a black battle uniform with a huge antique-like weapon on his back. He was wearing a box, but his back was straightened like a gun stuck in the back of his clothes. The wind and sand blew up his clothes, and he watched the endless yellow sandy street silently from the beginning to the end without any emotional fluctuations.

"Lu Mingfei." The woman called out his name.

The man slowly turned his head to look at the woman with long dark red hair and nodded slightly, "Senior Sister, I'm fine."

"Before He passed by just now, you said that you saw a figure on the street?" The woman whispered, "This is already the outskirts of the Kingdom of God, who would appear in such a place? Could it be the group of the old secret party?" Remains? Want to worship the new god and become a vassal?"

"Probably not." The man shook his head and looked back at the street, which was a deserted place of yellow sand, "I saw a very familiar person."

"Familiar? Someone from the secret party?" the blond man asked in a low voice.

"No." The man shook his head lightly, "It's an acquaintance who has been dead for a long time."

"People before the catastrophe?" The Japanese man sitting by the wall said softly, "I probably guess who you are talking about. Since you know she is dead, how could you see her?"

"If she is not dead, maybe this operation can be the key." The blond man whispered.

The red-haired girl who hadn't said a word from the beginning until now pursed her lips slightly, and there was a little mourning and reminiscence in her eyes.

"Are you sure you saw her? You are the one with the most superior remaining blood among us, and you have never been connected by the Nibelungen alchemy technique. It should be impossible for you to hallucinate under his dragon power." The woman lowered her head. Said loudly.

"I don't know," said the man, "but I did see her."

"After the Red Well incident, there are always strange things happening, and there are many of them. The vice principal is still studying how to make the monsters under the ice active again and become the bodyguards of the new Walter Alheim." A frivolous voice said with a sigh.

"Perhaps." The man looked at the yellow sand all over the sky, as if he was recalling the horror scene when the catastrophe happened in the wellhead, but after a while, he also slowly withdrew his eyes and stopped thinking about it.

The huge bloody sun in the distance was about to fall to the horizon, and the last ray of dawn jumped over the endless sand dunes and shone on the scar on his cheek. He lowered his eyes and straightened the heavy sword box behind him, walked towards the crowd of companions and said calmly, "Go Well, we still have unfinished business to do."
