Chapter 747 Civilization
Isaac's experience was not the only tragedy. At this moment, all coastal cities were on the highest level of alert.
Even if it seems that most coastal cities and even islands do not have the strength to be alert at all, they just sound the alarm to remind the people and wait for the follow-up.
The wave is coming.
The signs have probably been there in recent years. The restless sea has been warning the land that it may explode at any time. Even so, this wave came too suddenly, and most areas did not react at all.
What schools of fish are leaving the shore, what calls are coming from the bottom of the sea, what is the lack of light in the sea, what is the dark clouds.
None this time.
The sea suddenly became violent and there was no cover. Everything that was left was belatedly followed by the waves.
…
"Everyone evacuate to the shelter immediately! Escape immediately! Escape!" A soldier was slapped in the face by raindrops, but he didn't realize it. He stood on a high platform and rang the bell to wake up the surrounding residents who were sleeping soundly at night.
The residents who were woken up at first were dissatisfied.
But I saw the night sky outside that was brightly illuminated by various signal flares, and the sound of the tide accompanied by the weird chirping that could be heard far away from the coast.
They realized that tonight was unusual.
The escape begins.
The wave continued to advance, and since its formation, it has swallowed up countless islands, and many more have been submerged along the way.
The Sunless Sea is still rising as it advances, and continues to rise.
Three meters, five meters, ten meters, thirty meters, fifty meters, one hundred meters...
Still rising, the black sea seems to be connected with the equally dark sky, forming a dangerous wall that is about to collapse on humans.
The primitive gods will bring judgment to civilization in the most direct form!
Just as the black waves approached the offshore, several islands, peninsulas and coastal cities lit up with bright and dazzling firelights!
Pillars of fire soared into the sky, connecting with each other, arousing the dormant fire on the earth, burning at this moment to protect the fruits of civilization.
The wall of fire shook the huge black waves and blocked them from the offshore sea.
Many people watching this scene at close range felt suffocated.
Many ships rushed back, and coastal cities continued to evacuate. Soldiers and hunters stayed on the front line after the fire wall was extinguished, while people evacuated several kilometers inland.
If the first line along the coast is swallowed up, they will continue to retreat inland, and there will be other defenders on top.
All countries on the continent have no room to escape. This is the life and death moment of this world's civilization.
The wall of fire was moving backwards slowly. The distance was not obvious at first, but it gradually accelerated. Soldiers detecting intelligence at close range drove ships and quickly reported the situation to the rear.
Suddenly, he heard a strange sound.
Sizzling——
The flames burned something.
呲——
Suddenly, the hot water vapor followed the tiny black water column across the gap in the fire wall and fell into the offshore area.
The scout's eyes suddenly widened and he looked horrified.
The bodies of a large number of sea monsters burned by the wall of fire jumped over the wall of fire and fell into the offshore sea along with the boiling sea water.
There are more and more charred sea monster corpses, more and more uncharred sea monster corpses, and more and more half-dead sea monster corpses.
There are more and more living sea monsters!
"Squeak!" A group of half-burnt sharks and sea monsters bit the edge of the scout ship and kept tearing at the hull.
The scouts hurriedly turned the bow of the ship to evacuate, and reported quickly: "Sea monster! There is a sea monster crossing the fire wall and invading the offshore! We are under attack! We are..."
boom!
A sea monster in the form of a sea crawler fell from the sky and directly smashed the ship into the sea, and the contact came to an abrupt end.
Firewalls can only delay danger, but they cannot isolate it.
The brutal minions did not stop because of the obstruction.
They swim quickly and sink all ships on the sea. If people fall into the water, there is only one fate.
Then, he headed towards the shore at a fast speed.
The army of frontline soldiers and hunters who received the order from the scouts was already in full formation.
When the claws of the first sea monster climbed up the shore and poked out the dull fish head, they were instantly shattered by the cannon with salaried fire.
But just as they scramble to cross the blazing wall of fire for their compatriots behind them.
The corpses of pioneer sea monsters piled up along the coast, and the constant impact gradually tore gaps in the firepower network of the front. Such a small gap was grabbed and drilled into without any accident in front of the endless sea monsters.
An octopus suddenly appears behind the line, and it will hide! The body is looming, and its rampage further expands the loopholes in the front.
Helplessly, the front line began to move back...
…
Luo Xi's anchor was stained with large pieces of flesh and blood and robe remnants of false god cultists, and he was holding a fresh fire bearer's head that had just been pulled out. This fire bearer was even supported by the false god's fire. None of them died immediately, and they kept shouting.
The high priest looked at Luo Xi who was fighting in front of him, his lips trembling.
Then, before Luo Xi could speak, the high priest took the lead and shouted angrily: "What are you doing?!"
Luo Xi:?
Why is this guy shouting so loudly? Such righteous words even frightened Luo Xi.
"I'm here to kill you." Luo Xi put his head away and wiped his hands on the hem of the hunter's uniform.
"Don't you see?" The high priest's scepter pointed to the sea in the distance, and the bright wall of fire was blocking the rising black waves.
If that huge wave really hit the land, it would probably be another wave disaster that will go down in history.
Civilizations on the earth will continue to lose large areas of their land and the homes they rely on for survival, and this symbolizes the loss of civilization to barbarism and primitiveness once again.
"So?" Although Luo Xi didn't want things to get so bad, why was a cult leader asking himself, an innocent hunter, about this kind of thing?
"The final wave is coming, and the wall of fire left by the ancient country of Isa cannot be sustained forever. The will of the sea is already on the opposite side, and we have no room for it."
After a pause, the high priest saw that Luo Xi was still unmoved, and gritted his teeth and shouted: "God! We need God! Only God can fight against God! You have the qualifications, and Simaya also has the qualifications, but you are actually against us. ! Enemy to civilization! Delaying yourself and Simaya’s transformation! It’s simply stupid! Traitor of civilization!”
"Most of my beautiful memories in this world were given to me by the sea." Luo Xi suddenly said.
The high priest was even more furious when he heard this.
He is indeed a traitor!
"Then, most of the so-called 'civilization' I had access to at that time was not very good to me."
"So it's a personal grudge?"
"It's obviously my side that is being persecuted by personal grudges, right?" Luo Xi showed a helpless smile. The high priest looked at Luo Xi's expression and his anger couldn't help but stagnate.
This feeling is not that he is standing on the side of righteousness. He has the moral high ground to accuse a wild hunter who does not understand the glory of civilization.
On the contrary, it seems that this savage hunter, who has no idea whether he has received civilized education or not, is acting as a generous and loving "adult" and letting a "child" run amok.
"I like literature. Those things carry the weight of civilization. A man pointed out this path to me. First, he asked me to read and see, and then he asked me to try to write it myself. He was from an island in the distant sea. I have no education, but I like reading very much. Then, another person who is equivalent to my teacher told me that there are not so many complicated things, and all the fire has to do is to pass it on."
"Paper, pen, and fire are completely unrelated, but they are very similar. The biggest thing in common is that they are both light, but they can both carry missions that you think are too heavy in this world. Fire has many characteristics, but you pay more attention to the characteristics of fire. Light and heat, light can repel darkness, heat can restrain savagery.”
As he spoke, Luo Xi slowly walked towards the high priest.
At this time, the high priest should run.
But he didn't move, because if he backed away at this time, it would be like he lost.
Even so, he stood there but seemed speechless.
I can only say: "Isn't it true? You are also powerful because of the light and heat of the fire."
"It's just a word." Luo Xi smiled and said: "Why do you think that fire wall exists?"
"..."
"It was passed down from the corpse of the God of Fire to humans, then wandered around from the ruined ancient country, and then handed over to the continental countries from all eras to the present to maintain it, and finally passed down."
The fire has meaning only if it is passed on.
The high priest hesitated, feeling that there were many things he could refute, but at this moment, he felt that everything he said seemed like sophistry.
"Who are you?" In the end, he could only squeeze out a few words through his teeth.
"Roxi," the figure in front of him replied, "Poet of Fire."
The anchor dropped.
The foundation of civilization is barbarism.
The evil nature that cannot be shaken off entangles wisdom and wants to pull it into the lightless deep sea.
Wisdom is easily forgotten.
That’s why we have to keep passing it on.
Luo Xi wiped the anchor, and the surrounding pseudo-god believers gradually gave up the fight and looked at Luo Xi quietly, and then moved out of the way when he took steps.
