Chapter Three Rest in Peace(2/2)

He raised his hand, slowly approached the ray of sunshine, put it into it, and held it in his palm. The long-lost warmth slowly awakened his sleeping soul.

"Sunlight……"

After a while, Xu Qing's eyes showed a bright look, he pushed aside the debris blocking the gap, and as more beams of light embraced him, he slowly got out.

The moment he leaned out of the exit, he raised his head and saw no longer dense and dark clouds, but a bright and brilliant sun.

As if the old man in the morning light has regained his vitality after being seriously ill for many days, slowly kicking off the show, bringing freshness to the world again.

"The rain has stopped."

Xu Qing took a deep breath of the air filled with sunshine and silently looked at the city covered by the morning glow.

Everything in the city seemed to have a different brilliance under the dazzling red sun.

The bright red morning glow on the horizon shines down from the gaps in the clouds, like countless whales spewing golden waterfalls, washing away the haze and fog that filled the city little by little, revealing the mottled scars.

The collapsed houses, the blue-black corpses, and the shocking blood-colored puddles everywhere seemed to remind Xu Qing of the catastrophe that had occurred here.

There was a hint of complexity in Xu Qing's eyes. He had lived in the slums outside the city for six years, and he had also watched this city for the same six years.

Although he doesn't come in often, this is the place he has longed to live most in the past six years.

"I gained the skills to practice here."

"I got the purple crystal here."

"I'm here...survived." Xu Qing murmured, silent.

After a long while, he sighed softly, walked to a green-black corpse, looked down at it for a long time, picked it up on his back, and walked forward.

After walking all the way to a nearby square, he put the body down, then turned around and carried the second, third, and fourth bodies on his back...

Some bodies were scattered on the streets, and some were buried under the rubble.

Until he carried all the corpses in the nearby area to the back of the square, the corpses here were piled up like a mountain, some complete and some incomplete.

Xu Qing stood there and set a fire. Perhaps due to the abnormality, the flames burned stronger and stronger, and thick smoke rose...

Xu Qing looked at the thick smoke for a long time, then silently walked away to the second area. Soon, another thick smoke rose, more and more... more and more...

Just like this, on the first day when the sun shone into this ruined city, in addition to the light, there was also thick black smoke from the cremation of corpses in the city.

The black smoke rose into the sky one after another, covering the sun. At this moment, the morning light was also full of powerlessness and turned dim, as if it was hiding a deep sigh.

It seems that the thick smoke has become its tears. And the reflections formed on the ground seem to have turned into tears on the earth.

The last tear stain is where Xu Qing discovered the purple light.

There, Xu Qing put down the body of the old man in the medicine shop. As the flames burned in the pile of corpses, heat waves hit his face. He stood silently by the fire, and the rolling flames reflected in his dark pupils, shaking constantly.

The withered long hair also bent due to the heat wave. After a while, Xu Qing's body also bent and bowed his head.

"RIP..."

At this moment, the flames burned suddenly and violently, becoming more and more intense, emitting countless dandelion-like flames that scattered in the wind.

But the thick smoke rising into the sky still carries the unwillingness and regret of the deceased that cannot be melted away, and the wind cannot blow it away.

Rising higher and higher, like a few scars on the sky.

Insignificant and full of helplessness.



After a long time, along with the sound of chaotic footsteps, a strange voice suddenly came from far behind the young man.

"I asked why I didn't see any corpses along the way. It turned out that there was such a stupid boy who, at the expense of his own strength, actually moved the corpse here to be cremated."

"Well, since you are so nostalgic, I will help you and throw you in to accompany them."

Xu Qing turned around suddenly.
