Chapter 292
After crossing the Void Fissures, Luo Mio arrived in District 39.
A week later, Luo Mio arrived at District 39, only to find that it had changed drastically.
"This is...?"
The ground was littered with trash and curses.
Some grasslands and plains have even been burned into a desolate, blackened wasteland.
Luo Mio slightly, then looked in another direction.
"..."
A surge of anger began to fill Luo Mio's heart.
The eyes beneath the white hair and bangs slowly lifted, revealing a cold, icy gold.
——
"Hey! Are you ready over there?"
A young man dressed like a college student spoke to his companion not far away.
Not far from him, a much older, tattooed thug was pouring gasoline into a gap in a manhole cover.
"Hehe, right away, right away."
After saying that, he cruelly licked his lips at the inside.
Similarly, not only here, but also in various directions, not far from each other, one of their accomplices was pouring gasoline onto the manhole covers.
Then the tattooed thug who had already poured out the gasoline said to the college student.
"By the way, did you take that thing? I've heard that these little bastards are incredibly Life Force. Without holmium-modified bullets or bomb shrapnel, they're impossible to kill."
Don't worry...
After saying that, the college student took out a timed, directional bomb from behind his back.
"I got this from my cousin."
As they were talking, their other accomplices around them finished pouring out their gasoline and came over carrying gasoline cans.
After watching his accomplices finish, the college student in charge revealed a morbidly cruel smile.
"In that case... I can... I can avenge you, Xiaomei."
His girlfriend was also from the Osaka Area... but she was kind-hearted and did not leave the Osaka Area when "Libra" launched its attack. Before she died, she video-called him and showed him what it looked like when she contracted the virus spread by "Libra"... He could never forget it.
He hates! He hates Libra! He hates Gastrea! He hates the Gastrea virus! So he also hates the "Cursed Children" who carry the Gastrea virus!
His accomplices, upon seeing his smile, also felt a chill run down their spines.
He then took out a lighter from his pocket, lit it, and looked at the gasoline-soaked sewer drain with a cruel smile.
"Die, you monster!"
After cursing inwardly, the boy threw the lighter down the drain.
"..."
But a few seconds after throwing the lighter down, the boy did not hear the sound of a roaring flame or see any bright, scorching light.
"What happened?"
The tattooed thugs exchanged bewildered glances.
As they looked down into the sewer, flames erupted like a volcano.
"Ahhhhhhhhhh-!"
The flames, as hot as magma, engulfed their bodies, but they did not die; instead, they rolled on the ground, tormented by pain.
The next second, a miraculous scene unfolded: the flames spewing from the various sewer openings where they had poured gasoline converged in the air, transforming into a giant ball of fire.
The ball of fire emitted a temperature like that of the scorching, burning sun.
Then the ball of fire rushed towards the thugs.
The next moment, the ball of fire enveloped the thugs.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
The screams, so intense they filled one with despair and terror, made it feel like one had entered hell.
The thugs engulfed in the ball of fire did not die immediately from the flames, even though they had been burned to a crisp.
They wanted to die, but they couldn't. The burning flames seemed to mock them like the Grim Reaper, as if their screams were the Grim Reaper's pleasure. The Grim Reaper didn't want them to die; he enjoyed watching them being tormented by the flames, their bones and flesh burned, and their desperate screams.
The college boy who managed to dodge in time watched this bizarre scene with astonishment and fear in his eyes.
Just as he was about to run away, a voice came from behind him.
"A wise ruler".
A familiar, beautiful figure stood behind him.
"... Xiao Mei?"
"Why didn't you come to save me, wise ruler?"
"Huh?" The college student was taken aback, then explained to her, "I want to save you! I really want to save you!"
"Why didn't you save me! Wise ruler." The woman in front of him shed tears and looked at him with despair.
"Why didn't you save me! Why did you steal my plane ticket!"
Upon hearing this, the boy paused for a moment, then quickly replied.
"No, I didn't!"
Why didn't you save me! Why did you leave me there alone! Why did you take away my right to live!
Xiao Mei's figure moved like a ghost, getting closer to him without saying a word.
"No! I... I just want to settle down here as soon as possible. After all, I'm a man, and I'll be the head of the family in the future. Once I'm settled, we can live a good life here... Yes, that's right."
"I'm in so much pain! I'm in so much pain! It hurts so much!"
Xiao Mei was seen clutching her shoulders in pain, crouching down, with tears of blood streaming from her eyes.
"Xiaomei, Xiaomei, are you alright!"
The boy climbed over and looked up at his girlfriend from below.
"I... am in so much pain!"
The next second, the boy no longer saw his girlfriend's beautiful face, but a monster's face.
"Aaaaaaaahh..."
"I am in so much pain! Wise ruler!"
An extremely discordant sound came from the monster's mouth.
It opened its hideous mouth and walked towards the boy.
"Don't come near me! Don't come near me! Monster! Monster!"
The boy was so frightened that he stood up and ran away quickly.
But...
The next second, his foot was bitten off.
"Aaaaaaaahh..."
His mind was filled with excruciating pain.
"I'm in so much pain!"
The monster made noises as it chewed.
The boy watched in despair as the monster approached him step by step.
Eventually, consciousness faded into darkness.
——
Standing before the boy, whose face was filled with despair and blankness, his cheeks smeared with tears, saliva, and snot, Luo Mio's emotionless golden eyes seemed to look at him as if he were an ant.
"Deception, greed, and arrogance."
After glancing at the boy, Luo Mio turned her head towards the tattooed thugs being tormented by the ball of fire.
"It's noisy."
Luo Mio said it in a calm tone.
Then the thugs' screams stopped abruptly, but their expressions remained ferocious and desperate. They tried to make a sound to relieve their pain, but their throats seemed to be locked.
Luo Mio glanced at them silently, then waved her hand.
Then the crimson fireball transformed and turned golden.
The next moment, the thugs felt a burning sensation in their minds that was far more painful than before.
And as they turned into golden fireballs, they discovered that their feet were slowly disappearing as if burned to ashes. And with each bit disappearing, an unimaginable pain intensified and assaulted their consciousness.
After swinging her arm, Luo Mio turned and left.
"Slowly endure the torment, and disappear from this world forever, embracing despair and pain."
A silent, indifferent murmur echoed across this desolate land.
Chapter Sixty-Eight: Cries of Lamentation from Around the World
Luo Mio walked on the road, looking at the crowded streets.
Most of these people are from the Osaka Area, and in the current situation, the dark side of human nature has been completely exposed.
In the hidden alleys, you can see all sorts of people: thugs from the Osaka Area harassing innocent young girls passing by, and yakuza gangsters from the Tokyo Area collecting protection money from residents of the Osaka Area.
For example, right now, right in front of Luo Mio.
A self-important young man openly harassed a young and beautiful woman on the street.
Upon seeing this, Luo Mio's azure eyes flickered slightly.
The next second, in everyone's sight, the young man who had been so arrogant slowly turned to ashes and disappeared before their very eyes.
Screams erupted immediately.
Luo Mio silently walked past the crowd toward the First Area.
Because of the fall of the Osaka Area, coupled with the people who fled from Osaka Area to the Tokyo Area, the security situation in the entire Tokyo Area is now facing huge problems.
"Buzz—!"
The roar of an airplane could be heard coming from above Luo Mio's head.
Luo Mio raised her eyes and looked.
But upon seeing this, Luo Mio's eyes narrowed slightly.
Her azure eyes followed the direction the plane was descending.
Luo Mio was silent for a moment, then started walking towards the airport.
——
At the airport in Seventh Area.
Rentaro looked at the plane that was about to land, and then spoke.
"This must be the last plane to land in Seventh Area."
"Um."
Tendo Kisara, who was standing to the side, nodded.
After the plane landed completely on Runway 2, Rentaro turned around and spoke to the other police officers.
Just then Tendo Kisara's sharp eyes looked at the crowd of people walking down from the cabin door, and he immediately called out to Rentaro.
"Satomi!"
