Chapter 125 The entire army salutes, carving out a new world!
A muffled "plop" sound!
The dark golden spear tip, as if there were no obstruction, pierced through the sea monkey king's hard head covered in poisonous bumps in an instant.
The Dragon Devourer Spear pierced the back of the Sea Monkey King's head, leaving a trail of red and white goo, and emerged directly from its gaping maw full of sharp teeth, firmly embedded in the steel plate of the wing below.
"Cluck...cluck..."
The sea monkey king squeezed out two sounds like a broken bellows from its throat, its huge body suddenly convulsed, its limbs were still flailing wildly, and its claws scraped against the metal, making a screeching sound that made people's teeth ache.
In just three seconds, its sturdy, lumpy flesh went completely limp, collapsing to the ground like a lump of mud.
[Ding! Devoured the soul of a Level 5 sea beast—the Sea Monkey King!!]
[Increased gun body strength! 50 catties added to weight!]
[Current weight of the Dragon Devourer Spear: 1650 jin!]
Lu Sheng gripped the gun barrel with one hand, not even bothering to draw it, and coldly scanned his surroundings.
The remaining few dozen elite sea monkeys were terrified. They stuck their butts out and tried to squeeze into the gaps in the scrap metal, while some were eager to jump into the sea.
"Trying to run away?"
Zhou Hai grinned, his face full of ferocity, and flames suddenly erupted from his body as he stepped in front of them.
"Did you ask your grandfather?"
"boom!"
The Exploding Flame Fist was unleashed with full force, blasting several sea monkeys that had just jumped up into fireballs in mid-air. They screamed as they fell into the Black Sea, the sizzling sound of roasting meat audible from afar.
Zhao, carrying a shield as big as a door, charged forward headfirst, shoving two sea monkeys against the metal container, the sound of bones cracking echoing one after another.
Su Li's figure darted back and forth in the shadows, and with each flash of cold light, a green head fell to the ground.
This is not a fight at all.
This was a unilateral execution.
Ten minutes later.
The hill behind the garbage platform, which used to be incredibly noisy, is now eerily quiet.
The only sounds were the booming of waves crashing against scrap metal, and black blood dripping down the edge of the wing, forming a small ditch that stained the seawater below red.
Lu Sheng stood amidst a pile of corpses, his feet resting on the corpse of the Sea Monkey King, his expression as calm as if he were taking a stroll in his own backyard.
He raised his hand and made a grabbing motion in the air.
"receive."
The space swayed slightly.
The giant body of the sea monkey king, along with the broken arms and legs scattered all around, vanished in an instant.
Inside the system space, the All Things Furnace started spinning with a "boom," and the eerie blue flames, as if starving, licked at the flesh and blood full of viruses and filth, burning away all the impurities inside.
[Ding! Melting successful!]
[Obtained: 98 Intermediate Spirit Source Crystal Cores!]
Ninety-eight intermediate-level crystal cores—that's enough for an ordinary Spirit Source user to directly reach level 5.
But in Lu Sheng's eyes, it was just a number.
He drew the Dragon Devourer Spear, shook the spear to remove the last drop of filthy blood, and turned to walk towards the shore.
"I'm gone."
Lu Sheng didn't turn around; his coat fluttered in the fishy-smelling wind.
"The fire should be set on fire."
……
On this side of the shore, hundreds of red gasoline drums had already been rolled to their designated positions, and Qin Yue, along with dozens of soldiers, was pouring the brownish-yellow gasoline into various corners.
The container fortress, the mountains of garbage, the frames with human bones hanging on them... were all soaked in gasoline.
The pungent smell of gasoline quickly masked the nauseating stench of corpses and fermentation.
Lu Sheng returned to the deck of the Blazing Flame, took out the slightly deformed cigarette pack from his pocket, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it.
The flames flickered, reflecting in his emotionless, vertical golden pupils.
"Major Lu, the ignition points are all set up, and everyone has been evacuated to a safe distance." Qin Yue's voice was a little hoarse and trembling slightly in the communicator.
Lu Sheng took a deep drag of his cigarette, letting the pungent smoke swirl in his lungs before slowly exhaling.
He looked at the mountain of garbage, filled with sin, filth, and despair.
"burn."
Just one word, spoken lightly, yet it directly sentenced this wretched place to death.
From several assault boats a hundred meters away, "whoosh—!"
Several incendiary bombs, trailing orange-red tails, pierced the gloomy sky and landed precisely in the ventilation shafts of the container fortress.
After a brief silence—
"boom--!!!"
A muffled thud, like the gates of hell being kicked open.
The towering fire instantly obscured all vision. The dry garbage, waste plastic, and gasoline-soaked wooden planks all became ruthless accelerants, burning fiercely.
The billowing black smoke, like a black dragon baring its fangs and roaring, shot into the sky, making the already gloomy sky even darker.
"Crackling and popping—"
A series of crackling sounds came from the fire, the sound of those evils being burned to pieces under the high temperature.
A few hundred meters away on the sea, a heat wave swept over, making people's cheeks ache.
Lu Sheng stood at the bow of the boat, neither dodging nor blinking.
The firelight danced in his pupils, and he seemed to see again the woman's relieved smile before she died, and hear her words, "We don't want to endure this anymore."
This fire not only burns away the garbage, but also bids farewell to those who are suffering.
"Everyone has it—!!"
Suddenly, Chen Yan's powerful roar rang out in the communication channel, filled with barely suppressed grief and solemnity.
He saw everything inside the container through the drone.
As a soldier, failing to protect the people is dereliction of duty, but now, all he can do is give those who have died a final moment of dignity.
"salute--!!!"
"brush!"
On the Lieyan, Zhenyuan, and the other escort ships, whether they were sentries on the deck or soldiers covered in blood who had just come down from the battlefield, they all turned around in unison at this moment, facing the raging sea of fire.
Thousands of arms rose at the same time, their fingertips pressed tightly against their eyebrows.
There was no military music, no eulogy, only the sound of waves crashing against the ship and the roaring of the fire.
Zhou Hai abandoned his usual playful demeanor, his face becoming serious, his arm taut as he saluted.
Zhao's eyes were red-rimmed, and his lips were pressed tightly together.
Su Li even bowed deeply.
Lu Sheng slowly raised his hand and gave a military salute that was not quite standard, but was heavy enough.
He looked at the collapsed fortress in the firelight, and at the black ash drifting away in the wind.
If this damned apocalypse doesn't end, this kind of thing that drives people to become ghosts and turns ghosts into beasts will only be repeated again and again at sea.
No matter how fast he kills, or how sharp the Dragon Devouring Spear is, he can't save everyone.
Unless... he sets the rules.
Unless he can stand at the very top of this world and completely turn this murky world upside down.
"Lu boy, burn it all." Zhou Hai put down his hand, watching the flames gradually sink below the sea level, his voice low, "We... should go too."
The foundation of the garbage mountain was burned off, and the huge ruins began to fall apart. With a sickening metallic twisting sound, it sank into the sea with a loud "boom".
The churning seawater swallowed everything, leaving only a vast expanse of black ash and white steam.
Lu Sheng lowered his hand and flicked away the cigarette butt that had long since burned out from his fingertips.
The Mars fell into the sea and was extinguished instantly.
He turned around, the sea breeze making his blood-stained overcoat flutter, his back straight as a gun barrel.
Since the world is in chaos, let's use spears to sweep away this chaos.
He wants to carve out a clean and new world on this sea!
He raised his head, his gaze passing over the crowd, looking towards the deeper, more dangerous unknown sea ahead.
There are even more powerful sea monsters there, harsher weather, and perhaps even more hideous human hearts than sea monkeys.
Lu Sheng's lips curled up slightly, revealing a cold smile, and golden light flashed incessantly in his eyes.
"I'm gone."
"Buzz—!!!"
The Blazing Flame's engines roared deafeningly, its massive propellers churning up the floating dust on the sea surface. Its black hull, like a sharp blade, cleaved through the waves and hurtled towards the deep sea at full speed.
Behind them, the sunken garbage mountain has become nothing more than dust in history, leaving only a legend about the boy in white, which drifts away on the sea breeze.
