Chapter 270 Tian Zhuo
Chapter 270 Tian Zhuo
In a distant corner of the universe, on a lonely planet, the afterglow of the setting sun illuminates a ruin, which is the last refuge of a mother and daughter.
They were besieged by a group of hideous monsters with no way to escape. There were cliffs behind them and the abyss of death in front of them.
"Mom... I don't want to die... I'm scared..." The little girl's voice trembled and her eyes were full of fear. She looked at the monster that was about to climb up and fearfully hid in her mother's arms, as if that was her only safe haven.
"It's okay, baby... Mom is here, don't be afraid..." The mother's voice trembled, and she hugged her daughter tightly, as if she wanted to pass all the warmth to her.
However, her eyes revealed endless sadness, and her tears were like pearls that had broken off a string, falling drop by drop on her daughter's head. Those were tears of despair.
She was already in tears and her limbs were shaking uncontrollably, but she did not give up. She used up her last bit of strength to hold her daughter tightly in her arms, as if she wanted to protect her until the last moment of her life.
“Huh…!”
The monster's hand was already on the stone platform.
“Get away...! You monster!” The mother looked at it climbing up and raised her leg to kick it.
What came into view was a green-skinned monster with distorted features, a machete in his hand, and a body about sixty centimeters tall.
After being kicked, it was stunned for a moment.
Then he raised his head, with red light in his eyes, and stared at the person who kicked it.
It raised the machete and chopped at the woman.
But there was a cliff behind the woman, how could she escape? And she had her child in her arms.
With a "puff..." sound.
The machete hit her thigh and blood spurted out.
The monster became even more excited when he saw this.
It jumped from side to side, as if declaring its victory.
Suddenly, at this moment, a ray of light appeared in the sky. It was a spaceship.
Behind the spaceship were two flashing meteors, rapidly falling towards this side.
When the 'meteor' was about to fall, it was not a meteor at all, but two mechas flying towards it.
The monster's attention was drawn to the sudden noise, and its huge body turned sharply to face the impending threat.
But everything happened too fast. The two mechas were like gods descending from heaven. They kicked and struck the monster's head. The blood splattered everywhere, splashing on the terrified mother and daughter.
"Lin Yu! Look at yourself!" Liuying's voice came from another armor, with a bit of blame, but more of concern.
She quickly removed her armor, walked out of the mecha, took out a handkerchief, and gently wiped the blood off the mother and daughter.
"Sorry, sorry." Lin Yu apologized and then removed his armor.
"Are you okay?" Liuying asked worriedly.
"It's okay..thank you..." the mother thanked.
"Ding~ Mission completed. Go to Tianzhuo and rescue Princess Yulin and her child. Mission reward: +10 favorability between the two and Skycoins."
Then the spaceship above also landed on the ruins nearby.
Then two people walked down from the spaceship, March Seven and Xing.
"Ah...Lin Yu, why did you come to this place...Do you know these two people?" March 7 asked doubtfully.
"When we were on the train, we saw you frowning and worried, so we followed you... to the coordinates you mentioned."
"I was taking you on a trip and happened to save someone..." Lin Yu explained.
March 7 looked around and towards the bottom of the cliff. The surrounding scenery was indeed beautiful, and there was no disgusting smell, except for this headless corpse.
"Are you here for tourism? If possible...can you let me lead the way for you? It's also to repay you for saving my life..." the mother said to Lin Yu and the others.
"Hey..? But your legs..." Sanyueqi looked at her thighs, a little hesitant.
Even though I was wrapped in bandages by Firefly, I was still a little worried.
"It's okay.. just take a rest for a while..."
But the next moment, Lin Yu's gentle power was transferred to the mother and daughter.
In less than three seconds, the injuries and shock suffered by the two were relieved and treated.
"Huh...? What an amazing ability." The mother was surprised at Lin Yu's ability.
"By the way...are you from outer space?"
"Our country... has been occupied by these alien monsters... It used to be a very peaceful world... But now..." The woman began to sigh.
"That monster doesn't look strong. Why can't it fight back?" Xing asked.
"You just saw a monster. Generally speaking, monsters come in groups, and those monsters are a little special..."
"Special? What does that mean?" Xing asked.
"They seem to have a goal, a purpose... They brutally kill men and turn women into..." The woman's voice trembled, and she uttered the last two words with difficulty, "forbidden food..."
Xing frowned, she seemed to understand the meaning of the woman's words.
"So...if we are captured by that monster...our ending will be...a fate worse than death." Her voice was filled with fear.
The woman's face turned sad and tears glistened in her eyes.
"My sister...died in such agony..." As she said this, she finally couldn't hold back any more and tears fell like rain.
"I'm sorry...I shouldn't have asked..." Xing lowered his head, his heart full of guilt, feeling that he had touched the woman's deepest pain.
"It's okay...it's okay..." The woman shook her head.
"My name is Yulin, and this is my child, Yulinyue." Yulin introduced herself, including her child.
"Nice names. My name is Lin Yu, and these are Liuying, Xing and Sanyueqi." Lin Yu praised, and then introduced the people on his side.
"Our next journey is to pass through this ruin and then cross the forest. There is a path that leads to the bottom of the cliff, and then there is a river. After we cross the river, we will be able to see our country." Yulin explained.
After hearing this, San Yue Qi also spoke up: "It sounds like the journey isn't very far... we should be there soon."
"Is it.."
"When our caravan was crossing the river to the neighboring country... it was attacked by monsters. In order to protect us... everyone stayed behind to face those monsters."
"We fled for a day and a night, and then we ran to this cliff... There was no way to escape."
"We got rid of all the monsters and only one was left..."
"But...but...I really don't dare to fight back...I'm really scared..." the woman cried, hugging the child tightly in her arms.
"We understand your pain," Lin Yu said gently, "but please believe that we will not let this happen again. We will protect you and let you return safely."
Sanyueqi also stepped forward and gently hugged the crying mother, trying to comfort her: "No matter how many monsters there are, we will drive them away!"
The mother raised her head, her vision blurred by tears, but a gleam of hope shone on her face.
She saw the determination in these young people’s eyes and felt the kindness in their hearts.
Maybe... they are the ray of light in this desperate world.
