Chapter 67: Sea of Fire!
“Leia…”
“You said you would listen to me, didn’t you?”
“Just listen to me this once, okay?”
“Trust me just this once, okay?”
Leia: “Commander…”
On one side is Bia, and on the other side is the Commander.
The chances of Bia being saved are minuscule, but….
The Commander is still waiting for her….
She finally regained her composure, and under Chen Yuan’s comforting reminder, she quickly began her evacuation….
This time, she chose to follow Chen Yuan’s orders….
At a critical moment, she managed to charge out from the eye of the storm!
Chen Yuan let out a sigh of relief, his hands weakly hanging down as he slumped in his seat….
Knowing she was deceiving herself….
But looking at the speeding Leia, a faint sense of relief appeared at the corner of his mouth….
I’m sorry… Leia….
Hate me or blame me….
Just live well….
….
On the war airship designated for weapons, Leia and all her weapons boarded safely, looking down from a great distance, from the sky….
Only then did she see that this storm was actually not just one, but two — quicksand and tsunami storms merging and appearing at the same time….
The entire Forsisley Special Zone… would be engulfed….
After glancing at it, Leia diverted her gaze.
She thought about how Bia had sacrificed himself in the end; she really wanted to cry, and she really wanted to see the Commander…..
Wanting to confide in him… wanting to see him…..
Wanting to lean into his embrace and cry….
Only he could understand her feelings right now….
Only he could provide her with support and warmth….
He would surely comfort her softly and tell her she still had him….
Commander…..
I seem to not be able to live without you now….
You are all I have left….
….
Boom—
The soaring flames tore the sky apart, the dazzling light reflecting the entire ocean orange-red!
As if the sun rose from the ground….
The entire Forsisley Special Zone instantly transformed into a spewing volcano!
The shockwave from the explosion spread rapidly, forming a visible giant wave, igniting everything nearby!!!
Tearing apart everything that was combustible and fragile!
Even the storm! All engulfed inside!
“What’s happening? What kind of explosion is this?”
The airship trembled in the sky, everyone was stunned by this scene and leaned out the windows to look.
Like a doomsday scene, everyone felt a moment of despair and suffocation, yet in everyone’s eyes, it shone with dazzling light!
Igniting the flames….
That sea of fire ignited hope…..
The unstoppable storm was unexpectedly blown to smithereens….
….
“The storm’s weakness lies inside, in the Eye.”
“But the Eye is deep within; right now our technology can’t go that deep, and we also aren’t sure how to k*ll it or its exact location.”
“Then why not try to let it swallow us and then detonate?”
“No, the amount isn’t enough; it won’t work, it poses no threat to it.”
“How about preparing in advance?”
“Its appearance is random, illogical, how can we prepare?”
“Can’t we ignite the whole city? Even if it’s random, it still swallows cities. So when it arrives, we let the residents evacuate and then detonate the city—”
“……”
“Do you know how much loss that would cause?”
“But it’s still better than—”
“Ryan! Enough!”
….
“Get swallowed as close to it as possible.”
“Try to detonate from its center…”
As the storm engulfed the entire Forsisley Special Zone…..
Chen Yuan felt everything outside, buildings were being destroyed, the sky was filled with wails, he was in darkness and pain, waiting for an opportunity…..
It felt like stepping into hell, sweat beaded on Chen Yuan’s forehead as he desperately tried to stay calm.
If he guessed correctly, he was already inside the storm…..
Everything was being torn apart, everything was being swallowed…..
Reaching the end of the universe… only darkness and nothingness remained…..
Fear…..
More tragic than it was heroic.
Chen Yuan found he couldn’t even press the button…..
And the entire command room seemed on the verge of collapse, the shrill wails outside seemed to tell him how painful it would be later…..
His brain thought uncontrollably; this was no less painful than being eaten alive….
Thousands of monstrous fangs would tear him apart whole….
Along with his bones…..
Not even a scrap would remain…..
Chen Yuan struggled to adjust his breathing; it wasn’t like he hadn’t been bitten before, it was just that this time, without armor, it would hurt more….
All because of Leia… refusing to leave him a set of mecha….
Now look at this… his hands were so weak he couldn’t press the buttons….
But… those kids, just like Bia…
They all died like this… didn’t they hurt….
What am I afraid of….
Chen Yuan’s mouth curved up…
Clang—
The command room was destroyed, and thousands of alien creatures surged in with their gaping jaws….
Now is the time…..
….
Leia also saw the skyward sea of fire.
The explosion that started to spread from the storm center was strange…..
If it were a normal explosion, how could it take so long to reach that position in the storm…..
Her heart suddenly started pounding violently, for some unknown reason…..
Then, she suddenly received a communication from the Commander…..
Just in time, she hurriedly inquired if the Commander could return to battle; this was a golden opportunity to completely eradicate the storm!
However, when she opened the communication sent by Chen Yuan, it turned out to just be a recording…..
She suddenly froze, a bit hesitant to open it…..
….
“Leia.”
“When you hear this recording…”
“I should have already left.”
“I’m sorry, I deceived you, but the situation was too critical at that moment; I had no choice.”
“I’m sorry.”
“You must live well; among Class 104, you’re the only one left, you have to live well.”
“I will ignite the entire sea.”
“By then, I trust you’ll make your own judgment.”
“The storm is not unstoppable, nor is it invincible.”
“Humanity will ultimately triumph.”
“Leia…”
“I’m really sorry…”
“This time, it’s my turn to break my promise…”
….
“Commander…”
“No…”
As if she had anticipated it, Leia rushed to the window, looking at the endless ocean…..
“Liar!”
She yelled….
“Liar!”
“Fool!”
“I clearly listened to your orders!”
“Why!”
“Why!”
“Why is it still like this? No matter what choice I make, it’s wrong!”
“What do you want me to do…”
“I just wanted to have a home; I just wanted… you to be safe and then live a simple life…”
“Why is it so hard!”
“Commander…”
“Why did you leave me all alone…”
