Chapter 254 Death Is Coming

"ah--"

The boy in the air roared in pain.

Looking at the young man's unacceptable expression, Zhang Hao twitched the corners of his blood-stained mouth and revealed a warm smile.

‘Stay alive, the world needs you. ’

The tide of beasts surged, biting the soldiers who collapsed on the ground with countless sharp mouths, and finally drowned them.

The warriors who rushed to support him accurately caught Wang Xianxian in the air, then turned around and ran away.

On the city wall, Master Zhao, who witnessed Zhang Hao's death with his own eyes, felt a heartache and then staggered.

Tears accumulated in his eyes, and the endless sadness finally turned into a roar.

"fire!!!!!!"

boom--

The crazy cathartic artillery fire instantly drowned the chasing beasts.

However, facing the endless tide of beasts, it is only a drop in the bucket.

The only target of those crazy alien beasts was Wang Xianxian. As he watched the young man being led to the city wall, the alien beasts below attacked the city wall again.

But this time, the alien beasts gathered together to attack, ruthlessly tearing apart the defense of Tianbing City.

"Hold on, as long as we can hold on to the Demon Emperor's return, it will be our victory!"

Facing the dark tide of beasts ahead, the soldiers in Tianbing City looked resolutely, then held their weapons and rushed forward.

…

Above the endless desert.

"Where is this?"

Zhang Hao stretched out his hand and looked at his hands, his eyes a little confused.

He looked around and found that he was standing on the top of a huge pyramid.

The height of this pyramid is very exaggerated, like a mountain.

Looking down, he seemed to see the entire desert of death.

Confirming that he seemed to be able to observe the entire desert, Zhang Hao immediately looked to the east, which was the direction of Tianbing City.

From an unknown distance away, Zhang Hao saw the tragic scene of the alien beasts attacking the city.

only……

Time in the entire world seemed to have stopped, including Tianbing City, which was becoming a battlefield.

Everything stopped.

Zhang Hao patted his face, then looked up and found that the sky above the desert was full of stars.

During the day, we obviously don't see the stars, but the world here seems absurd.

The purple aurora in the sky is like a ribbon, connecting the desert and the starry sky, like a dream.

Recalling what he had just experienced, Zhang Hao couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Is it all a dream?"

Zhang Hao sat down without any image, and then looked at the starry sky boredly, as if waiting to wake up from sleep.

"Is it beautiful?" A mysterious voice sounded from her ears.

"Who!" Zhang Hao jumped up suddenly, then turned around and looked.

The speaker was a middle-aged man with brown skin. He was tall and wearing a white robe.

The middle-aged man came over with a smile, and then sat down next to Zhang Hao minding his own business.

"We were old acquaintances, have you forgotten me?"

Zhang Hao stared at the other person's face, thought for a long time, and then shook his head.

"I do not know you."

The middle-aged man was not surprised. He chuckled twice and pointed to the scale necklace on Zhang Hao's chest.

"Then do you still recognize it?"

Lifting up the necklace on his chest, Zhang Hao seemed to have seen something funny.

"You mean this?"

The middle-aged man nodded: "Yes."

"How could I not recognize it? This is my necklace. I have been wearing it for more than ten years." Zhang Hao shook the necklace on his chest.

The middle-aged man's eyes were very gentle: "I gave this to you."

"Are you kidding me, uncle?" Zhang Hao raised his eyebrows, "This necklace is obviously mine..."

Halfway through, Zhang Hao was stunned. He held up his necklace blankly and tried to remember something.

"It...it..."

Zhang Hao was a little dumbfounded. He tried hard to search his memory, but found that he had no memory of getting the necklace.

I don’t know when it started appearing on my neck.

It appeared out of thin air, as if it had just taken a nap.

After thinking for a long time with no results, Zhang Hao slowly raised his head.

"Who are you, why do you appear in my dream, and why do you know this?"

"Do you think this is a dream?" The middle-aged man smiled.

"Otherwise?" Zhang Hao said disapprovingly, "Did I really break into the underworld, save people from monsters, and then sacrifice myself?"

The middle-aged man seemed amused by Zhang Hao's words, and the corners of his mouth raised high: "Yes."

Hearing this, Zhang Hao rolled his eyes.

"I am a camel equipped with rockets. I am so durable and can run so fast?"

The middle-aged man looked into the distance. He no longer planned to tease the little guy in front of him.

Standing up slowly, the middle-aged man patted Zhang Hao on the shoulder.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them teleported to the city wall of Tianbing City.

Zhang Hao held his head in his hands and shook his head vigorously. Apparently he had not adapted to the change in environment.

After he saw the situation around him clearly, he was stunned.

The cannonball stopped in mid-air, the flower of fire paused in bloom, the frozen body, the frozen expression...

For the first time, Zhang Hao saw the battlefield where the pause button was pressed up close.

Cruelty, pain, fear and...

die!

Suddenly, his pupils trembled wildly, and his face was filled with disbelief.

Appearing in front of Zhang Hao was a young soldier wearing a military uniform. This soldier's body had been eaten by alien beasts and was reduced to a human shape. His broken limbs, splattered blood, and the flesh and blood from the mouth of the alien beast next to him...

Only the head was left on the body, which was relatively intact. He recognized this soldier, and he had seen him in the mirror countless times before...

"Are you surprised to see your own body?" The middle-aged man came to Zhang Hao's side quietly.

Zhang Hao clenched his fists tightly. Although he was unwilling to admit it, the moment he saw the body, his instinct and even his soul told him...

This is him...

"So, it was not a dream, it was all real..." Zhang Hao muttered to himself.

"Yes." The middle-aged man squatted on the ground, looking at Zhang Hao's expression before his death, and smiled with relief.

At this time, Zhang Hao also came over, and he also saw his expression, which was a sense of satisfaction, a joy without regrets.

After looking at his face for a long time, Zhang Hao suddenly laughed.

He gently closed the eyes of his body with his hands.

After doing everything, he looked back at Division Commander Zhao on the city wall.

Looking at the other's red eyes, Zhang Hao's smile suddenly stopped.

"This is the obsession of the deceased, and also the anchor of the soul." The middle-aged man's voice rang again.

Zhang Hao lowered his head and thought about this sentence silently. After a long time, he slowly raised his head and looked at the middle-aged man with awe.

"Are you the god of death?"

The middle-aged man shook his head: "I hope I am, of course, now, I can be."

Zhang Hao was silent. He didn't understand, but he didn't dare to ask.

"Let's go." The middle-aged man motioned Zhang Hao to come over.

However, Zhang Hao paused and hesitated.

"Is this in line with the rules? I am a Chinese. I think it's better to wait for Wuchang to pick me up. I prefer our family's King of Hell..."

The middle-aged man's eyes penetrated Zhang Hao's soul and saw his fear, the fear of death engraved in the soul of all lives.

And the attachment and desire for life.

The middle-aged man's eyes that were enough to judge the soul made Zhang Hao unable to raise any resistance.

He reluctantly took the first step...

When he took the second step, he turned his head and saw his comrades, the teacher whom he regarded as his father.

Tick-tick-tick-

Tears ignored the law of time and space prohibition, passed through the eyes of the young soldier, and then fell on the desert.

"Will they be sad?"

The middle-aged man nodded: "They will cry for you, hold a funeral for you, pray for you, and finally find a smile."

After listening, Zhang Hao walked towards the middle-aged man again.

Every step, he walked very slowly.

"If I leave, what will happen to my grandfather?"

"The dead do not need to consider the affairs of the living. This is the tempering of the living."

"Can I see my parents and sister?"

"Life and death will meet in the end."

"Will I go to hell?"

"This requires judgment."

"Lord Death, can...can you walk slower?"

"I'm sorry, I'm afraid not."

When death came, he realized that his life still had so many things that he was reluctant to give up.

When death came, he realized how much he feared death.
