Chapter 262: Oger Seeks Help (Part )
Atayal. Atayal.
The sky is blue and cloudless.
Anus hung high in the sky, and the scorching sun burned the earth mercilessly.
On the vast plain, large bomb craters with diameters ranging from about 1 mile to thirty or forty miles are filled with water. Even in broad daylight, the edges of the puddles shine with a faint fluorescence. The water is as thick as paste, and there are wisps of fishy yellow and earthy green sediments on the edges.
There are fish and shrimps in the crater.
But merciful Amitābha, those fish with three heads and six tails, those shrimps as thick as the calves of ordinary people, and those turtles with a back shell two feet thick, larger than a heavy tank, and high-radiation electromagnetic flames that can be spewed out of their mouths, crawling onto the table in the middle of the night and hunting humans as snacks…
This world has become so terrible.
On a small hill, inside a heavy steel wall welded from armor plates of abandoned tanks, ten feet high and three feet thick, and covering an area of more than a thousand acres, in the “War Orphanage”, the morning class had just ended.
On the towering tower, a lonely flagpole holds up a half-moon flag with a cyan-blue background and dark purple patterns. In the hazy moonlight, the figure of a graceful girl can be vaguely seen – this is the holy image of Amitabha, the supreme totem of all believers in the Amitabha Temple.
The early morning class had just ended, and the mental fluctuations that had filled the entire war orphanage like a tsunami had gradually subsided.
Taran, who was nearly six feet tall, tall, thin, and as thin as a bamboo pole, staggered out of a prayer room.
He has shut down his mental network.
The belief in Amitabha is like this – every day, Amitabha’s believers will open the spiritual network only when necessary or at night, connecting their own spirit, their own consciousness, and everything they have with those of their tribesmen to share the infinite and mysterious spiritual space.
But in the daytime, when the power of Anus notifies the heaven and earth, the believers of MIT can shut down the spiritual network and make themselves an ‘independent’, ‘detached’, ‘free individual’ who ‘can keep a little secret’!
And those followers of Anus, those fanatical fools, they maintain a connection to the spiritual network every day.
They share everything!
They don’t have any privacy.
They don’t have any secrets!
Even when the couple was performing the solemn ritual of marriage, all the tribesmen around them, as long as their spiritual fluctuations could reach them, tens of thousands of them, could clearly sense all their feelings.
It’s insane, immoral, and absurd to the extreme!
Before the war, the archbishop of the Temple of Amitābha criticized in the public media that the followers of Anus were a group of shameless beasts!
Because of this judgment, because of the doctrinal dispute between the two sides, the war of faith that lasted for a hundred years broke out!
The children of the Earth Mother Goddess Taiya, whether they believe in Amitabha or Anus, have an innate spiritual network that allows them to connect the wisdom of all people into one.
A century of wars of faith have brought the destructive power of this talent to its extreme.
In just a hundred years, the warriors of the two holy temples quickly evolved from metal armor, steel swords and spears to nuclear bombs, hydrogen bombs, heavy particle fission bombs, and even small continental shelf collapse weapons… Other terrible weapons such as bacteria, viruses, high-energy lasers, high-energy rays, etc. also made their debut.
During the Hundred Years’ War, the Atayal people, whose population once numbered trillions, suffered heavy casualties, with only one in a hundred surviving.
According to the population census conducted jointly by the two holy temples three months ago, there are now less than 20 trillion Atayal people left… and everyone’s life is extremely difficult.
The sky is polluted.
The earth is polluted.
The air is polluted.
The rivers are polluted.
Oceans, mountains, forests, glaciers, deep pools, all geographical features you can imagine are polluted.
Taran walked slowly out of the orphanage protected by a small force field. He pressed hard on the heavy metal belt around his waist, and a set of old-fashioned portable nano-inner armor quickly flowed out of the belt and covered Taran’s entire body in two breaths.
The energy core in his belt emitted a subtle hum, and clear, fresh air rushed into his nostrils. Taran walked slowly on the barren hillside, his body passing through the air, stirring up tiny electric sparks.
With a ‘chi chi la la’ sound, the dust with terrible high concentration of radiation hit his nano-armor, and the dust exploded, and the radiation energy surged. The physical lethality of each dust explosion was comparable to that of a small-caliber bullet. The high concentration of radiation contained in it was even more lethal.
Relying on the protection of the inner armor, Taran walked down the hill and came to a jungle of about three hundred acres that was also wrapped in a small force field. Therefore, it was not contaminated by radiation and barely maintained a normal ecology.
Last night, the artificial rainfall system just watered this jungle.
Lying neatly on the rotten wood piles in the forest, there were densely packed with palm-sized, white, plump and juicy white jade mushrooms. A large number of plump white jade snails were happily wriggling among the mushrooms, happily nibbling on the delicious food.
The fast-growing grass developed by the Life Science Park under the jurisdiction of the Temple two years ago has grown to the height of a human waist overnight in the forest. A large group of black-skinned and white-striped wild boars, more than one foot long and covered with fat, are running rampant in the grass, chewing on the fat grass in big mouthfuls.
These little wild boars have no taste to speak of, their only advantage is that they are omnivorous and can grow very fast even by eating grass. They also have a very high fat content, which can provide the children in the orphanage with the oil and water they most need for their growth.
And those white jade snails can provide high-quality protein.
Those fresh mushrooms can provide fiber, as well as a little bit of essential vitamins and other trace elements.
This small jungle is the lifeline of this war orphanage on the hill.
Taran walked to the deepest part of the jungle.
There were dozens of concrete piles with rebars neatly placed on them. A bunch of soldier dog tags flashing with cold light were densely hung on the rebars. When the wind blew, the dog tags swayed slightly and collided with each other, making a harsh “ding ding” sound.
Taran walked familiarly under a rebar and found the two dog tags that belonged to his parents.
He pulled out a few blades of grass and carefully wiped the dog tag, wiping the name, the unit number he had served in, and other information on it until it was shiny.
He mumbled in a low voice, telling his parents about his life in recent times, how much he missed his brother Tata, and how confused and scared he was about leaving the orphanage and entering society in two months.
war of the Damned.
Taran’s father, mother, uncles, aunts, their children, cousins… all his closest relatives died in the war.
Taran’s father and mother were able to find two dog tags as souvenirs from the mess of flesh and blood.
And all his elders, brothers and sisters, and even their dog tags were reduced to ashes along with their bodies under the terrible heavy proton fission bomb, leaving no trace of their existence.
“Dear mother, I’m sorry, I really am, too weak.”
“I failed to pass the selection for the deep space expedition force. I failed to follow in my brother Tata’s footsteps and go to Taiya’s sister planet Tailan to conquer that rich and beautiful planet and open up a new living space for our people.”
“My destination has been decided. A new energy crystal mine has been discovered in the Altos Basin where you once fought. My heavy mecha driving skills ranked 13,000th in the comprehensive evaluation of all war orphanages in the Amitābha Temple last month.”
“There are a total of 32 billion war orphans of the same age who participated in this comprehensive evaluation. I was able to get 13,000th place, so I was selected to join the mining team of that energy mine.”
“The salary is very high, and the benefits are very good. The salary list sent by the temple deacon actually includes half a pound of fresh milk and one pound of green leafy vegetables every day. I haven’t tasted fresh milk and green leafy vegetables for more than ten years.”
“So, I’ll be fine, don’t worry.”
“My marriage partner has also been designated by the Holy Temple.” “A girl whose spiritual frequency and genetic ratio are almost perfectly matched with mine. She is two months older than me, and her personal combat power index is twice as high as mine. She has been selected to join the energy mine’s guard team, and her salary is higher than mine, and her treatment is better than mine.”
“So, my future life will be good.”
“If you can hear my prayers in the arms of Amitābha, then please bless my brother Tata… He is so outstanding. Last year, he was the latest batch of reinforcements and rushed to Tailan Star on a star ship.”
“Beautiful and rich planet Tailan!”
“Last month, we watched the images and data sent back by the Deep Space Team’s outpost… Tailan is such a beautiful planet. It’s so perfect. Moreover, its ecology is so… so… incredible.”
“Boundless jungles, fertile and vibrant plains, endless rice fields, wheat fields, and other crops… Such a rich, beautiful, and vibrant world, how could it be occupied by those stupid Thailans?”
“You can’t imagine that they used flintlock rifles in their wars!”
“Haha, on that planet, the Eastern Country that occupies an important position, the Eastern Country that replaced our ancestors, received divine favor, and then taught them knowledge and power, they are still fighting on horseback… They are still using metal armor, steel guns and crossbows!”
“Tata can conquer the Eastern Kingdom by himself wearing the energy armor, right?”
Taran sighed, “I can’t even imagine what the next time I see Tata will be like… As a reinforcement for the deep space force, he has made great achievements. When he returns to Taiya, he may even hold the title of bishop of the Temple… He may be surrounded by hundreds of young and beautiful temple saints who are willing to give everything for him… And what about me? I am just an energy mine digger, with a wife assigned by the Temple, and perhaps a few genetically optimized children, timidly going to greet my glorious brother.”
“I can not understand.”
“Those Easterners are so…stupid, ignorant, primitive, and backward…”
“According to the records left by our ancestors, why did those gods who descended from the sky abandon our ancestors and choose them instead?”
“Taiya and Tailan, the two mother goddesses, are sisters. The tribes they gave birth to, our Taiya people and their Tailan people, look exactly the same, and even the language they use is extremely similar…”
“Why would the gods choose them who are backward and ignorant?”
“But that’s not important.”
“The archbishops of the temple claimed that the deep space forces have already taken control of an extremely powerful country over there. Tata and his companions are working hard to expand their power and are actively occupying larger territories.”
“Tata and his team used the resources of that world to build the first batch of starships, which are already on their way. In a few months, the 27 newly built starships will return to Taiya Star with a large amount of supplies.”
“everything will get better.”
“Those materials are the core resources we need most to build new starships. With those resources, we will be able to build more, larger, and newer starships. We will have more people join the deep space force and go to Tailan. We will conquer the entire Tailan and make Tailan our new home where we can live and work in peace and contentment.”
“They are powerless and have no right to resist us.”
“So, I still can’t understand why those legendary saints abandoned us back then?”
Taran smiled strangely: “I even doubt… Well, if those sacred things imparted supreme, infinite wisdom and power to the Tailan people… then where is that wisdom and power? Is it those ancient metal armors? Are they those crudely made steel knives and swords? Are they those strong bows and crossbows with a range of less than fifty feet?”
Taran smiled widely.
Then, he was horrified to find that the blazing sunlight in the sky suddenly dimmed.
He raised his head suddenly, and saw a strange figure quietly appearing in the azure sky dome… The figure was very high in the sky, but in Taran’s view, the figure was still more than a foot long, even larger than the figure of Amitābha in the night sky at night.
Amitābha is a planet with a diameter of more than 20,000 miles.
Then, at the top of the sky, there is a figure that looks even bigger than Amita’s true form in the night sky…how big could this person be?
The dark gray fog, carrying wisps of sticky cold air, slowly spread in all directions.
The gray fog seemed to be spreading slowly, but in fact it was extremely fast. It covered the sky in an instant. The blue-green sun was rapidly dimming. In just a quarter of an hour, the sun turned into a golden red that made people feel strange and extremely uneasy.
The temperature between heaven and earth is dropping rapidly.
The cold wind whistled past, and between heaven and earth, a faint murmur could be heard in the strong wind. The dog tags of the soldiers hanging in front of Taran flashed a hazy phosphorescent light, and wisps of resentful aura quietly emerged from the dog tags. Distorted faces struggled to emerge bit by bit.
The overwhelming resentment swept in all directions, and Taran felt inexplicably extremely frightened. He screamed miserably and turned away in embarrassment.
In his mind, the flames condensed from his spirit were trembling violently. The fire of his soul was almost torn apart and crushed… He staggered and ran, screaming at the top of his lungs, and released his spiritual power in a panic.
Invisible spiritual force fields are everywhere.
Taran quickly connected to the spiritual network of Amitābha’s followers, and the spiritual power of countless people quickly connected into one. A series of cool and gentle spiritual waves swept along the huge network. They were the archbishops of the Amitābha Temple, who borrowed the power of Amitābha to strengthen the entire spiritual force field.
Thus, the spiritual network formed by trillions of Amitabha believers was sublimated.
Powerful spiritual waves swept across the sky, resisting the waves of evil, hideous, and horrible cold wind and fog that suddenly emerged between heaven and earth and were full of twisted evil power.
The low murmur echoed between heaven and earth.
“This world is so terrible… Why is it like this? There are only a few living people left. How can we have enough food?”
“So, you stupid ants, reproduce!”
The terrifying evil power rolled down from the huge figure in the sky, and the obscure gray fog gradually turned into an ambiguous pink. Between heaven and earth, the breath of spring revived…
Taran, all the Atayal people, and all the flesh and blood creatures on Atayal Planet, all had the most primitive passion sprouting in their bodies at the same time.
“Reproduce, grow, and become our food!”
The evil whispers echoed between heaven and earth: “Hey, we have enough patience to wait for you to reproduce tenfold, a hundredfold, ten thousandfold… Well, the reproduction method of your group can be slightly adjusted… You don’t need wisdom, you don’t need strength… You just need faster reproduction efficiency and a greater growth rate, that’s all.”
“Well, just a little bit, we found it. The way for your group to prosper is hidden in the laws of the sun and moon. You didn’t protect the foundation of your group’s existence?”
“laugh!”
“You deserve to be our food!”
“Foolish Atayal people, no wonder those damned Three Pure Ones and Four Imperial Gods looked down upon your people… Well, with such a developed spiritual power, what a good food!”
The East, Shenzhou.
Pinghai City.
International Concession.
Inside the Aimee Federation Consulate General, Og and Osho rushed out of the underground secret room with pale faces. Og wailed at the top of his lungs: “Jieshi Gong, Xing Tianli, where is he… Find him as quickly as possible!”
“Damn it, that horrible evil creature, why, why could he… find… find…”
“Besides, we will spend several years on the journey… They, it only took them a few days? A few days?”
