Chapter 1306 - The Path Of Apocalypse (29)
Chapter 1306: The Path Of Apocalypse (29)
He thought everyone had left, even his father’s ship .
He was abandoned here.
But… his mother didn’t leave.
She came to find him.
Mother’s arms were still warm.
“It’s okay, Little Nine, Mom’s here. Don’t be afraid.”
“Mom… Mom…” Little Qi Yu called her in a weak voice and his little body shrank into his mother’s arms.
“Shh!” Mother Qi urged him to be quiet. “Mom will take you out of here, but you should keep quiet, can you do that?”
Little Qi Yu nodded hurriedly and held Mother Qi’s neck tightly.
He wouldn’t make any sound.
He would be a good boy.
“That’s right, my Little Nine is the best.” Mother Qi praised him gently.
Outside, the aliens were still lingering. Mother Qi waited for a long time before she got the chance to leave with him.
There were dead people everywhere in the camp. Mother Qi covered his eyes and ran to the parking place.
Little Qi Yu could not remember how many times she had fallen down. He could not see anything.
Ka*—*
An alien suddenly jumped in front of Mother Qi. Not giving her any chance to react, the alien’s sharp claws reached toward her.
Mother Qi stepped back in horror, slipped, and stumbled over the ground. She shielded Little Qi Yu and suffered ferocious wounds on her neck and shoulders.
Mother Qi was confounded and rolled to the side in panic; she touched some abandoned weapon on the ground.
Boom!
The incoming alien was shot and retreated, but that didn’t kill it. Instead, the counterattack infuriated it.
The alien roared and rushed toward Mother Qi.
Pengpengpeng!
Mother Qi fired several shots in succession, and finally the alien fell to the ground.
She had no time to care about the pain and got up from the ground. The noise might attract other aliens, so she had to run.
She held Little Qi Yu with one hand and the weapon with another, leaving no hands to cover his eyes.
He saw the blood on Mother Qi.
Little Qi Yu was terrified. “Mom…”
“Shh!” Mother Qi quit hiding and ran directly toward where the aircraft parked. It was right ahead.
The noise just now attracted the aliens wandering in the camp.
If she was fast enough, she could get on the aircraft.
However, the aliens were faster. Mother Qi was stopped by an alien.
Mother Qi shot it without hesitation. However, the ammunition soon ran out, so she could only throw away the gun and rush out with Little Qi Yu in her arms.
More and more aliens arrived, and Mother Qi was patted off by one of them.
Little Qi Yu heard Mother Qi’s muffled, pained moan. His face was stained with warm blood.
He obeyed his mother and didn’t make a sound.
“Little Nine, run, run quickly.” Mother Qi suddenly released him.
“Mom?” Little Qi Yu pulled her hand, almost crying. “Mom, let’s go together.”
“No… No.” Mother Qi gasped heavily. “Mom can’t run further, you run. Go hide in the aircraft, Dad will come to save you.”
“No…”
“Little Nine, didn’t you promise to be a good boy?”
“I don’t want to be separated from you.”
“Mom will come find you, you run first, okay?” The aliens were approaching; Mother Qi pushed him. “Little Nine, Mom loves you, you must live.”
Little Qi Yu was pushed and almost lost his balance. And that push made the distance between him and his mother widen.
Mother Qi approached the aliens without hesitation. She stopped them with her flesh.
He watched as an alien’s sharp weapon pierced her chest and her blood poured to the ground.
She looked at him with difficulty over her shoulder.
“Run…”
Little Qi Yu stepped back, tears obscuring Mother Qi’s face in his eyes. All he could see was blood.
He turned around and stumbled forward, but when he approached the aircraft, he saw the aliens wandering there.
He just couldn’t get there.
He couldn’t make it…
When the aliens spotted him, they ran over at once. Little Qi Yu had nowhere to go, and in a panic, ran toward the deep pit.
On the edge of the pit, he looked at the approaching aliens with a pale face.
The pit was dozens of meters deep, and he would certainly die if he fell in.
As the aliens’ ferocious faces got closer and closer, Little Qi Yu retreated and stepped on the edge, half of his body suspended in the air.
One of the aliens raised its claws and swung them down at him.
Little Qi Yu’s body was suddenly weightless, falling into the pit.
He thought he was going to die.
But no.
When he woke up, he was in a clean room with a golden platform, and he was on the golden platform.
Before him floated the two gold coins, the apocalypse.
—Do you want to live?
Little Qi Yu seemed to hear someone ask him this.
But he didn’t see anyone.
—Take it and you will live.
Looking at the two floating gold coins, Little Qi Yu slowly reached out his hand.
His hand passed through the light, the tips of his fingers almost touching them. But he jerked back and rolled off the platform, watching the scene in horror.
The voice did not sound again. He was afraid and then began to look for a way out.
But the room was sealed, and he could not find a way out.
Thinking of his dead mother, the physical fatigue, and terror, he hardly dared to close his eyes.
Fortunately, the light in the room gave him a little peace of mind.
After a long while…
He was very hungry and lay dying in the corner.
It was very quiet all around.
Finally, he got up and went back to the platform with difficulty, reaching out to grab the two gold coins.
The light disappeared and the room went dark, but nothing strange happened.
The voice was never heard again.
Soon he heard a slight noise, like the opening of a door.
He groped his way down, and a door appeared in the completely enclosed room.
He pushed the door open and went out. There was the same pit outside, aircrafts hovering in the sky.
Those who had left came back.
A shrill noise sounded in his ear, and then the aircraft fell from the sky.
The noise faded away.
When he woke up, he was already lying in the treatment capsule.
…
“That’s when I got the apocalypse,” Qi Yu said. “After that, occasionally, I could hear that voice, and it always wanted to beguile me into making a covenant with it.”
When he was a child, he was not very strong-willed. He almost went along with the voice several times.
And later, if he had not met her, he would not have made a covenant with the Apocalypse.
“Why does the Apocalypse have to make a covenant with you?”
“It doesn’t have to be with me,” Qi Yu said. “Maybe at that time, anyone went in and it would do that.”
“No…” Ming Shu shook her head. “There were so many people coming in and out, but it didn’t do anything. Why you?”
Qi Yu was stunned.
Right.
His father’s men had studied the place inside and out before him.
But they did not find the room. It was only after he came out that the room appeared.
Qi Yu blinked and began to praise himself. “Surely I’m a genius.”
“Genius your head!” Ming Shu gave him a slap.
“Wife, stop, stop, don’t beat me to stupidity.” Men’s heads shouldn’t even be touched, yet she beat him hard!
If only I had a bad temper!
I’d have long since killed you!
