Chapter 328 - Protection Shield (2/2)
However, their shooting skills were not advanced. It was difficult for them to carry heavy guns. The bullets were repelled by the domain, so they could not hurt Wei Huo and the others.
Wei Huo said, “Don’t panic. We’re not enemies.”
A boy shouted, “You’re demons! You killed my parents!”
The children had never heard of the people from the Northern Continent. From their perspective, as long as their skin color was different from theirs, they were not members of the same race!
“Stop! Hetal!” At that moment, a voice was heard from outside the protective shield. It belonged to a black man covered in blood. He was holding a crutch and he looked very weak.
However, Wei Huo knew this person. He was the black captain he had met before.
“Uncle Modin!” the group of children exclaimed. “You’re still alive!”
Modin approached Wei Huo and bowed deeply. He then told the children, “Don’t be rude. They are our saviors. Where did the adults go?”
After Modin asked that question, the children fell silent. Some of the younger children started crying. Their tears fell uncontrollably, and even the older children’s eyes were red.
Something occurred to Modin, and he asked, “Could… Could they…”
Modin rushed into his home. Wei Huo and the others followed him closely. They saw a huge electric tower surrounded by five big glass jars filled with yellow liquid. There was only a little yellow liquid left in the glass jars.
The glass jars kept emitting bubbles, and the electric tower kept producing electricity from afar to supply the equipment in the estate.
However, Lu Qiqi, the golden armor, and the others were stunned when they saw the huge power supply device. They finally knew what had happened. After all, there were many human soul fragments around the electric tower.
The golden armor said in shock, “Is… Is this a device that can turn souls into energy?”
Modin lowered his head and then sighed. “Yes, but we usually use living animals. We’ve never used living humans before. This time, the adults must have protected the children, so…”
It was unbelievable that equipment could turn souls into energy, but there were such unbelievable things in this world.
Wei Huo and the others finally understood why the shield had lasted so long. It was because the adults in the estate had sacrificed themselves. They had used their souls to produce a large amount of energy for the shield and resist the waves of the calamity.
Wei Huo suddenly said, “Would an Atlantean do that?”
Lu Qiqi said, “There are indeed not many children in the underwater world. They should have been… moved away.”
Wei Huo nodded. “It seems like any race would do the same. The urge to continue their race has been engraved in every individual’s genes. Although we’ve escaped this calamity, we have more important things to do.”
The entire race had migrated. All the humans on Earth had migrated over the past 55 years!
At that moment, a few huge fireballs appeared on the horizon. They slid down the horizon and smashed into the Southern Continent.
The golden armor asked, “Is it the Zerg?”
Wei Huo’s eyes emitted a golden light. Moments later, he said, “It’s a spacecraft. A spacecraft from an interstellar civilization!”
