Chapter 2349 Petrification
An ordinary world cannot attract the attention of the ancient gods, so the ordinariness of this world is only temporary. Soon, a petrifying light will cover the earth and petrify all the people and swallows on the earth.
Why do we need to petrify the swallows? No one knows this, but the swallows are so cute. It is probably just like the ancient people who sacrificed people, but also sacrificed some cattle, sheep and horses to add color. It is an additional thing.
In short, the sacrifice has not happened yet, so everything in this world is normal. Everyone is living a daily and ordinary life. Although some petrified swallows have been found falling from the sky all over the world, they still have not attracted people's attention.
After all, the lives of ordinary people are to support their families and work overtime. Who has the extra energy to understand this kind of urban legend? !
But what is ignored by humans is often the most deadly.
Duran stood on the noisy street without feeling any sense of urgency. Obviously, only very few people are paying attention to the petrification of swallows.
First of all, a scientific department of the United States, the world's most powerful country, is studying petrified swallows. However, at present, they have only found out that these petrified swallows were indeed petrified while alive, and this is a global phenomenon. There is no regularity at present, and it is not known what means caused it.
It may be a virus, or it may be a weapon, or even aliens. In short, scientists are working hard to study, but unfortunately there is no breakthrough.
Before scientists figured it out, the petrified green light had already erupted, and it began to expand rapidly from one point, from the south of the earth like the volcanic ash covering the earth in the last days of dinosaurs, but the volcanic ash will last for a long time, while the green light will sweep away, but the people in the green light, whether in the building or outdoors, cannot escape the fate of being petrified.
Humanity was defeated, and even the mastermind behind the scenes was unknown. Only the last six of the seven billion people in the world were left.
Of course, these six were not the chosen ones, they were just astronauts, and because they were performing missions in the space station, they were not affected by the petrified light.
Duran stood in the city, looking at the green light approaching him in the southwest and prepared. He had encountered many magical petrifying rays, but this was the first time he had encountered a technological petrifying ray. The magical petrifying ray would not kill people. As long as the magic was lifted, the petrification would disappear. I didn't know what the effect of the scientific petrifying ray was.
At this time, the people at the edge of the petrifying ray had already discovered that the people covered in the light had turned into stone, so the people who had not been swept away ran away desperately, just like running in the poison circle in "Stimulating Battlefield", but how could their speed compare with the petrifying ray?
For a time, the wail spread all over the four directions, and the whole city seemed to be boiling. The car horns, sirens, screams of fear, and the sound of car accidents... The messy sounds intertwined together meant that everything was in chaos.
But the chaos did not last long, and soon everything was quiet, because the people who made the noise were petrified, and they stood on the street in their final posture.
The people on both sides of Duran were running away, but Duran was like an iron nail fixed in place, waiting for the petrifying ray to arrive. Finally, the green light was in sight, and Duran opened his arms to welcome it.
The green light turned all the slow runners in front of Duran into stone sculptures, and then shone on Duran unceremoniously. His skin became hard, but soon returned to normal.
In an instant, Duran was calculating the composition of the petrification light, and his petrification was lifted. There was no challenge at all.
"I didn't resist." Duran said that he didn't use any force to resist, he was just thinking, of course his thinking speed was faster than light: "I consumed all the energy of the petrification light when I was thinking?" Duran realized why petrification was useless to him. It turned out that the energy of the petrification light can be digested by the human body. So that means these petrified people are actually still alive. If ordinary people can digest the energy of the petrification light, then they can recover. But how does the thinking speed of ordinary people compare with Duran?
Duran roughly calculated that the thinking capacity he used just now was equivalent to the content of ordinary people's thinking for three thousand years. That is to say, if these people who turned into stone statues do not stop thinking, they will be able to break out of the stone after three thousand years.
There is definitely no hope for Kaz in Jojo, because he cannot move after three thousand years of petrification. To consume petrification energy, he can only think constantly and digest it through brain activity. Kaz will definitely stop thinking soon, so he can't digest petrification energy.
If humans keep thinking, they can be unstuck in three thousand years. Unfortunately, how can normal people keep thinking for three thousand years? Even saints and philosophers who have been famous for thousands of years, how can they keep thinking in darkness and loneliness?
It is too difficult and too harsh for ordinary people.
At this time, the petrification light has covered the world, and there are no more people who can move on the surface except Duran. The clothes are not petrified, only the flesh is petrified.
The whole city has become an exhibition hall of stone men and fell into silence. Three thousand years later, the city will be smoothed by nature, and the surface will change due to crustal movement. The fate of these stone men is not optimistic. Without any protection, most of the stone men will be weathered and eroded, which is equivalent to death.
Duran looked up at the universe. There were still six astronauts in the orbit who had not been petrified, which meant that the scope of the petrification light was the surface of the earth. But now these six astronauts must have collapsed, because they could not get any news and had no idea how terrible things had happened on the surface.
These six astronauts could only save themselves and find a way to return to the earth, otherwise they would die in space.
Duran blinked his eyes. Now he was the master of the earth and could completely establish himself as the king of the earth. Now everything on the earth was his. He could make it whatever he wanted. After all, before the astronauts came back, he was the only living person on the earth.
That's right, Duran was the only living person. People who used the petrification light were also petrified. The petrification light covering the whole world did not distinguish between friend and foe. Anyway, as long as they were in the light, they would inevitably be petrified.
But Duran soon felt that it was boring. Without the onlookers, who would he show off to? So he had to wait for the astronauts to come back.
Duran thought that the six astronauts would probably become Adam and Eve. They would definitely reproduce, provided that they could survive.
The astronauts were just three men and three women who could form three pairs, and their races spanned Asia, Europe and America.
At this time, the six of them had already discovered that the contact with the surface was completely cut off, and they also witnessed the terrifying scene of green light surrounding the earth in the sky. They all speculated that something must have happened on the earth, so they sent two people down first.
But without ground navigation, the reentry capsule had no idea where it would fall or what posture it would land in. After all, there would be support personnel on the ground before landing, and they would rush to help the astronauts as soon as possible. But now the surface is dead silent, there is no signal, and at night, the originally bright urban area is also dark, which means that their landing will lose ground support.
So the two warriors chose to go back and take a look first.
A daytime meteor streaked across the sky, which was the scene of the reentry capsule passing through the atmosphere.
Duran, who was sitting on the Ferris wheel to kill time alone, saw the meteor and watched them collide directly in the direction of the southern sea.
"It seems that they have finally decided to go home." Duran smiled, and the Ferris wheel stopped rotating instantly without his telekinetic support. The onlookers came back, and Duran wanted to take a look.
