hunting light

The fear of death is like a rope wrapped around the neck.Kent felt countless pairs of small hands grabbing his limbs, embracing his body, and pulling him down.

In the dark deep seabed, people lose their sense of sight and hearing, and their sense of touch becomes extremely sensitive.When countless small bites bit the boy's body, the skin exposed in the swimming suit immediately felt the sharp pain of being pierced.

Kent screamed and struggled frantically, the salty seawater poured into his nose and lungs.

The creature wrapped around his body clings extremely tightly, its tiny sharp teeth biting the human flesh hungrily and greedily.Kent subconsciously swallowed the seawater due to suffocation, his mouth full of his own blood.

I'm dying?

Amidst the severe pain and suffocation, thoughts of despair flashed in Kent's mind.

The life-saving collar around his neck detected abnormal vital signs and activated immediately, trying to hold him and drag him away.But the weird creature wrapped him tightly, like a thick layer of flesh and blood armor, dragging him down to the bottom of the warehouse.

He will die in the mouths of these monsters, Kent thought... the flesh and blood will be devoured, and only a skeleton will be left for his parents...

Universities, lovers, the future... Those things that are about to be within reach will only become sad souvenirs before his death...

Physical strength drained from his body rapidly, Kent's consciousness gradually blurred, and his struggling movements became smaller and smaller.

In the field of vision ahead, behind the densely packed black shadows, colorful lights suddenly flashed.

Flash and flash.

That's the glitter of the colored balls!

These creatures were really afraid of light, and when the light appeared, their biting movements stopped immediately.

As the light got closer and closer, the monsters let out a hoarse hiss that resembled a reptile, let go of Kent, and hid in a dark corner.

The colorful flashes are like a shooting star piercing the night sky, dispelling the darkness.

Leon held a ring of colored balls in his mouth, held a broken steel pipe in one hand, and a fire ax in the other, and was struggling to swim towards Kent.

Under the protection of the light, the group of monsters did not dare to get too close to him.But there are still a few daring ones, trying to come up to fight for the colored ball, trying to destroy it.

As soon as Leon swung the steel pipe, he beat the monster's brains out, and with another ax in his backhand, he chopped the other monster in half.

Black blood spread in the water.The group of creatures became frantic and restless, and began to snatch and eat the corpses of their own kind.

Kent's eyes widened, and he cheered up immediately.

He shook the monster wrapped around his body vigorously, stuffed the loose oxygen tank back into his mouth, grabbed a monster wrapped around his arm, and snapped its neck.

It was a group of weird creatures the size of a human baby, at first glance they looked like hairless black-skinned monkeys.The forearm is slender, the snout protrudes, and there are sharp teeth.But below the waist is a thick and bald tail, it is simply the ugliest mermaid ever!

Leon swam up to Kent, threw him the fire ax and gestured.

Kent held the fire ax and followed Leon's example, taking out the colored ball he got earlier from his pocket and holding it in his mouth.

The two teenagers turned around and swam towards the warehouse door at high speed.

Behind him, densely packed monsters followed closely like a swarm of wasps.

It was not a long journey from this weird warehouse to the nearest damaged port from the sunken ship, but the two teenagers swam quite hard.

Locked in the warehouse for an unknown period of time, how could monsters who were so hungry that they would kill each other let go of two delicious tender meats that they brought to their door?

The fear of light only made them flinch slightly, but their thirst for food made them frantically follow and chase all the way.There are fierce and bold individuals constantly rushing up, attacking, biting and biting.

Leon swung the steel pipe and stabbed down. The sharp end pierced the monster's mouth, pierced through the back of its head, and pierced another monster's stomach.

Although Kent was bruised all over his body, fortunately he didn't hurt his muscles and bones, and he was young and strong.After burning with the desire to survive, he quickly recovered his state.He swung the ax around, and the sharp blade chopped off several monsters that tried to grab his legs.

The water monsters surrounded the corpses of the same kind like fish fighting for food.I saw a mass of black rolling, but after a while, only white bones with a little muscle remained.

Leon backhand stabbed a big monster who was attacking Kent from behind to death, and the hand holding the steel pipe suddenly went limp.The steel pipe nearly slipped from his hand.

The heat in the body became intermittent, and the hands and feet were strong at one moment, and soft like cramps at another.And his life ring was also vibrating rapidly, reminding him that he was running out of oxygen.

This power that has sustained him to fight until now is about to be exhausted!

Kent passed him from behind, through the hatch, gesturing sharply back at him.

Leon took advantage of the moment when his hands and feet regained strength for a short time, and swam through the hatch with all his strength.

He turned and pulled the heavy hatch, trying to close it.

Unexpectedly, just as the door was opened half way, the strength in his body was suddenly emptied again.The hatch fell back, but it even pulled Leon over.

Kent immediately reached out and clasped the edge of the door.Two teenagers threw themselves on the door and slammed it shut.

A monster rushing to the front couldn't dodge in time, screamed, and was cut off by the hatch.Immediately there was a rapid knock on the hatch.The group of crazy monsters even tried to break through the door.

Kent anxiously tapped Leon's shoulder, gesturing to urge him.His oxygen tank was bottomed out, the red light was blinking, and there was no further delay.

And Leon's body was as empty as a wildfire-burned wilderness, that powerful force completely disappeared!

However, without this power, couldn't he go back with his own physical strength?

Leon took a deep breath, kicked his feet, passed Kent, and gestured: "Come with me, I know the shortcut."

Without the harassment of monsters, they quickly reached the big gap at the stern.Through the jagged hole, both teenagers could see the vague skylight.

It was a piece of light blue that symbolized the hope of survival.However, they haven't seen each other for only half an hour, but the two teenagers feel a kind of intimacy that seems to have passed away.

Kent's oxygen tank was finally exhausted. Fortunately, there was still about 3 minutes of oxygen reserves in the lifesaving collar, at least enough for him to return to the surface from here.

The two teenagers exchanged an ecstatic look, struggling to swim towards the opening above.

"squeak--"

Leon caught a sound wave in his ears that made his scalp tingle instinctively.

A blasted passage on the side was like a wide open mouth, and groups of black water monsters spewed out from it, rushing towards them!

Kent was startled and swam desperately upstream.

Flesh injuries do not affect Kent's speed too much.But Leon not only lost the power of blessing, but even the physical strength he should have lost quickly.His hands and feet became more and more numb, and his right leg even started to cramp.

"Follow up!" Kent gestured anxiously when he saw that Leon hadn't followed.

Looking at his figure against the background of skylight, Leon suddenly knew that he couldn't catch up.

At this moment, he made a decision.

"You go first. Go ask for help!" After Leon gestured, he turned around resolutely and swam towards the other side.

Kent's eyes split open.

The water monster soldiers were divided into two groups, the large force chased Leon, and the small force chased towards Kent, which was located in brighter light.

Kent roared angrily in the water and had to turn around and head upstream.He passed through the gap and rushed straight up.

A group of water monsters chased the sunken ship.Lightning from the sky shot down through the sea, onto dark skin and eyes that had never seen sunlight.

Those skins festered and cracked quickly, and the eyeballs even burst open, releasing a ball of white pulp.

The water monsters flinched and stopped, had to give up the pursuit, and turned around and dived back into the sunken ship.

Kent didn't dare to look back, and swam towards the surface of the water like crazy.

The storm on the sea became even more manic, and the sky was full of huge waves. The world turned into a powerful washing machine, stirring everything with soup and water.

Ian's wristband sent out a reminder that a person was rapidly ascending.He immediately operated the shuttle to approach the positioning point.

who is it?

He held his breath, his heart about to explode.

The oxygen of the two teenagers should have been exhausted, why only one came back?

Is it Leon?

A boy surfaced, coughing heavily, struggling in the waves.

Chestnut hair, it's Kent...

Ian hurriedly dragged Kent from the sea onto the shuttle, and couldn't wait to grab him and shouted, "Where's Leon? Why are you the only one?"

Kent was out of breath, and pointed at the sea with his bitten torn fingers: "He... lured them away and let me go first..."

"What?" A big hole appeared in Ian's chest instantly.

"There are...monsters in the water..." Kent yelled in horror. "A large group...cannibal...Leon led them away. He still stays in the boat...Father?"

Ian couldn't wait any longer.He had already put on the simple diving booster on the shuttle, put it on outside his shirt, put on a lifesaving collar around his neck, and brought an oxygen tank.

"Father, it's too dangerous down here!" Ken stopped Ian, "There are at least dozens of those water monsters, and their attack power is very strong. They are sensitive to light, but..."

Ian immediately picked up the waterproof light on the shuttle again.

"Wait!" Kent yelled anxiously, "You're just an Omega, you can't deal with them. Let me..."

"You stay here!" Ian snapped. "Your father and the rescue team will come soon. They know that there are abnormal creatures below and will take action. And I will never let Leon ignore it. He can't wait If you rescue them, you will die from lack of oxygen."

After all, he pushed Kent away and jumped into the raging sea.

The sea water shielded the sound of thunder and waves, leaving only the rumbling heartbeat in my ears.

The booster device was activated immediately, and Ian quickly dived deeply with the breathing mouth of the oxygen tank in his mouth.

The crossbar slipped out of his collar and hung around his neck. The holy amulet reflected a bright golden light in the dark sea water.

Like a ray of sunshine, the young priest with the lamp fell toward the abyss.

At the time of life and death, Leon burned himself, bursting out with a power that surprised even himself.

Behind him was a black tail made up of water monsters, struggling to swim into a blasted passage.

Inside is a long corridor, neatly lined with cabin doors, which should have been the dormitories of senior officers in the past.

Leon found a room with intact walls and windows, swam in, and quickly closed the hatch.

Surrounded by water monsters, they hit the walls and doors, and their sharp claws scratched the metal bulkhead with harsh sounds.

Leon backed away slowly.

"boom--"

A larger water monster crashed into the window behind him. Through the blurred glass window, it opened its sharp-toothed mouth and hissed threateningly inside.

More and more water monsters crowded outside the window, scratching desperately, gnawing at the seams with their fangs.

Leon clenched the steel pipe in his hand, leaning his back against the wall, letting himself breathe slowly.

calm down!he said to himself.

Leon's oxygen cylinder was also exhausted. He tried to hold his breath for a long time, and then had to activate the last bit of oxygen stored in the life-saving collar.

If after 3 minutes, the rescuer does not come.Then, the only way to meet his ending is to drown!

In the last 3 minutes, countless pictures flashed before the young man's eyes like a revolving lantern.

The road covered with petals in the Parthenon, the Blue Bay in the sunset, the bread freshly baked by the cook Martha...

The sun was shining brightly and the birds were singing and the flowers were fragrant. Dad was sitting in front of the window playing the piano, his expression was intoxicated, and his eyes were so sad.

His father taught him how to hold the knife with his hands, roughly rubbed his hair with his broad palms, and pressed heavily on his young shoulders.

And Ian.

His Ian...

The young man was wearing a dark blue robe and knelt before the altar to pray, his face was so holy and beautiful.

They rode side by side, Ian's white shirt glowing.He tilted his head and smiled at himself, with sunshine dancing in his eyes.

Under the light, Ian was sitting opposite the desk, explaining his homework softly to him. His drooping eyelashes were so long that one couldn't help but want to reach out and flick them...

He will never see this handsome face again, never hear that warm and clear voice again.

He could no longer breathe the fragrance of the green grass, and no longer felt the slender fingers tapping his forehead lightly, reminding himself to concentrate...

What a stupid bastard I am!

Leon's tears spilled out of the corners of his eyes and merged with the cold sea water.

Why should I get angry with him?I should believe everything he says, even if he is lying to me.

I don't want to die!

Leon shouted frantically in his heart.

I want to live!I want to live a long, long life as a nasty old monster.

I want to see Ian every day.I wanted to grow up, and I wanted him to see me mature, full of strength, and perfect.I want to take care of him in turn, to be trusted and relied on by him.

I want him to be proud of me.

Rather than wanting to do this, he drowned in the deep sea in embarrassment, and was fished ashore as a swollen corpse and stuffed into a coffin.

And Ian, my poor Ian, as a priest, he had to preside over my funeral.

Will he cry for me?Will kiss my bruised and distorted face mournfully.Will he miss me late at night, wipe my pictures, pray for my soul?

Will he hold a lamp by the sea, call my name, and call back my lost soul in the deep sea?

There was not much oxygen left in the life-saving collar. The collar detected insufficient oxygen in the blood and sounded an alarm.

The doors and windows were still crowded with water monsters, and these beasts were still scratching and biting, ready to share the human corpses.

Leon's consciousness gradually blurred.Floating in the water, he no longer felt the coldness of the sea, as if he had returned to the womb, wrapped in warmth and safety.

Slowly let go of the hand, the steel pipe slid down and touched the ground with a soft bang.

Under the diving goggle, Leon lowered his eyelids, covering his ice blue eyes.

The last bubble came out of his mouth...

In the dimly lit room, the teenager Lost could only feel his body floating quietly.The densely packed water monsters outside the window are still persistently scratching.

A light flashed.

The water monsters froze.

Then, another light.

This time, the light didn't move away, but shined firmly.

The water monsters gathered by the window screamed and dodged.

The light became stronger and stronger, and a figure fell on the outer window.

The light shone brightly on Leon's soft and flowing blond hair.Ian thumped the window glass hard, but Leon felt nothing.

Knowing that he had passed out, Ian was so anxious that he went crazy. He didn't care about the water monsters scurrying around him, so he turned around and dived into the gap of the sunken ship.

Ian turned the power of the booster to the maximum and rushed towards the place with the most water monsters.

But the closer to the hatch, there are more and more water monsters, crowding the narrow passageway.Even if Ian had lights in his hand, he couldn't disperse them for a while.

What's worse, although the monsters' eyes are sensitive to light, they found that the artificial light can't hurt their skin.As a result, they immediately became more courageous, and after dodging for a short time, they counterattacked violently towards Ian.

They are not afraid of ordinary light, so...

An idea flashed in Ian's mind, and he hurriedly checked the lamp in his hand.

God bless, the fact that this marine light is multifunctional and has a cleaning mode means it can-

Ian turned the knob on the head of the lamp, and the lamp immediately switched to UV mode.

Under the strongest light mode, the ultraviolet rays shot in all directions like dense sharp arrows, instantly burning the weak skin of the water monster.The film-like black skin was cracked and festered like a burn, and blisters appeared, exposing the black and red muscles underneath.

The horrified creaking and screaming almost pierced Ian's eardrums, which were already suffering from severe pain due to the huge water pressure.

Now, no water monster dared to approach Ian again.He kicked open the hatch, rushed in, and hugged Leon.

The boy's body was cold, his eyes were closed, and he was unconscious.

Ian was trembling with fear, kept patting Leon's face, felt his pulse, and stuffed the mouthpiece of the oxygen tank into his mouth.

"Wake up, Leon!" Ian shouted from the bottom of his heart.

"Breathe—"

Leon was not breathing, and a bubble of oxygen slipped from his mouth.His pulse also stopped beating.

They were in the water, and Ian couldn't even give him artificial respiration!

etc!Ian felt a docking port on Leon's life-saving collar that looked like an external oxygen tank.

Holding the mentality of a dead horse as a living horse doctor, he tried to take the oxygen tank out of Leon's mouth, unplugged the breathing port, and inserted the port into the life-saving collar.Then he stuffed the breathing port that came with the life-saving collar back into Leon's mouth.

The life collar detects oxygen and becomes operational.It protrudes a straw from the breathing port, starts to suck the accumulated water in the user's trachea, delivers oxygen, and delivers an electric shock to the user's heart.

Ian had never studied this kind of military life-saving collar, and he didn't expect this step, so he was instantly bounced off by the electric current.

He flew into the opposite bulkhead, his back was in severe pain, and his internal organs were displaced.The blades of the booster were crooked and stopped turning.

To make matters worse, a leaf fell off and scratched Ian's right leg, cutting a deep bone wound.Blood flow profusely.

"..." Leon finally coughed, his body twitched, his heart beat again, and he began to breathe.

Ian broke free from the useless booster device, dragged his injured leg and swam over with difficulty, and embraced Leon in his arms ecstatically.

Leon's consciousness has not yet recovered, his eyes are half-opened, motionless.

Ian's right leg was so painful that he lost consciousness, and blood gushed out crazily, probably because he injured a vein.If the bleeding does not stop, he will go into shock very quickly.

And the blood stimulated those monsters.They hid in the shadows outside the door, screaming, restless, frantically trying to rush in, but they were afraid of the ultraviolet lamp in Ian's hand.

Why hasn't help come yet?

The loss of blood made Ian feel dizzy for a while, and he knew he couldn't last much longer.

Ian closed the hatch, hugged Leon tightly, hugged the boy's cold face in his arms, and kissed his forehead sadly.

Holding the cross with pale hands, in the deep sea farthest from heaven, in the coldest darkness, he began to pray.

/Holy and Almighty Lord, please listen to the desperate prayers of believers, please give me the Holy Light, let it pass through the deep sea, and shine on our humble and cold bodies. /

/Please redeem this innocent child.His life has just begun, and he is as pure and beautiful as a flower in your garden.He shouldn't have lost his life in this place. /

Ian's sanity became more and more blurred, and his arms still hugged Leon tightly.The boy's steady heartbeat made him feel a glimmer of hope amidst despair.

/My Lord, I would like to sacrifice my soul to you, and beg you to take this child away from this abyss full of demons. /

/My body and life will belong to you completely, and I will be driven by you for the rest of my life. /

/I beg you to come down with a miracle, let the light illuminate the dark seabed, dispel those blasphemous demons, and give us back the hope of life.../

The golden cross of holy light shone in Ian's pale fingers.

/If I break my oath, my body will be wiped out, and my soul will fall into purgatory forever.I will suffer all kinds of pain in my life, and I will suffer forever in purgatory when I die. /

/My Lord, I am your most devout believer.Please grant me the light—/

With his consciousness far away, Ian closed his eyes, and his arms around Leon were gradually loosening.

The UV light hit the floor, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The light flickered a few times, snapped, and went off.

The water monsters made a strange commotion.Not ecstasy, but... panic?

The lamp went out, but the light did not disappear!

The light purple light sank into the floor, swam along the seams, climbed up the wall, and rushed in all directions.

Light diffuses outward from this small room.It ran through every stitching gap, using every groove of the sunken ship as its own loop.

Whether it is a deck covered by aquatic plants and corals, or a ship wall covered with shells.It was unstoppable, wandering around wantonly, sweeping back and forth on this warship that had been dormant for more than 100 years.

"How did the Holy Lord appear?" Once a sunny afternoon, the boy stood on the edge of the sea cliff and asked his priest.

Light swept through the entire warship, and finally found what it was looking for - the mecha garage that was blown up that year.

The light passed over the pile of scrap copper and iron, and flowed along every line.

The broken mech arm, the core machine buried under the ruins, the energy bars that are shortened into several knots...

"The Holy Lord will only appear in the most dangerous and desperate situation, when human beings can no longer save themselves with their own strength, and save us from fire and water." The young man replied gently.

Then the light was collected suddenly, gathered on a battle mech that was blown up in the middle, and gathered into its core machine.

hum-

A circle of powder swayed.

The abandoned mecha that has been sleeping for a hundred years is activated.

The young man said: "At that time, only the prayers of the most devout believers could be heard by it."

In the dead cabin, the young priest's hand had slipped from the boy's back.

In the mecha warehouse under the feet, the mecha pushed away the waste with its remaining handle, grabbed half of the energy bar on the floor, and inserted it into the groove of the core machine.

The energy was quickly filled, and the core machine began to speed up, sending energy to everywhere.Through the broken shell, a bright golden light burst out, instantly illuminating the entire armor library.

Then, the mech supported itself with one hand, and jumped up from the ruins——

"Leon, I hope that I don't have to see the apparition of the Holy Lord in my whole life." The young man said to the boy, "Because, this means that we live in a peaceful and happy world."

The youth and the teenager drifted in the water, separated little by little.

Gutt, another bubble overflowed from the corner of Leon's mouth, and his eyelashes trembled.

Boom—the whole warship trembled.

The boy's eyelashes trembled again, and the ice blue eyes lit up little by little.

Rumbling--

As if an undersea earthquake had occurred, the warship trembled violently, and the metal body made a sharp and ear-piercing distorted sound.

The water monsters screamed and ran around.

The vibration was getting bigger and bigger, the bulkheads, doors and windows, all creaked.

The armor depot located in the middle and lower part of the warship exploded, and the remaining fragments of the energy bar detonated several small torpedoes that had not been cleaned up in the arsenal next door.The impact of the explosion easily cut off the already dilapidated and rusted warship.

The cabin shook violently, the cabin door was shaken open with a bang, and the sea water was turbulent.Ian's unconscious body slammed into the wall.

Seeing that his back was about to hit the wall, a hand reached out and clasped his wrist.

Leon pulled Ian back, hugged him tightly, and wrapped him in his arms.

The boy woke up, and his expression seemed to be a different person.

He stared at the unconscious priest in his arms, and there was a strange golden light surging in his ice-blue eyes.

The warship rumbled loudly and moved tremblingly, as if it was being dragged by a huge force.

Leon pressed one hand on the artery on the side of Ian's neck, feeling the pulse under his fingertips, and then looked out vigilantly.

The location where the warship sank was very special. It was right on the edge of a trench, and a small half of its body was propped above the trench.The shock of the explosion, as well as the turbulent ocean currents in the storm, shifted the center of gravity of that half of the body, and began to fall into the trench.

But the two sections of the body were still disconnected, and the other half of the hull tilted under the huge drag force.

Leon has clearly felt the changes in the hull.Suddenly, his pupils shrank, and he hugged Ian and rushed to the corner of the room, covering him with his body.

The hatch was punched open by a huge mecha fist.The broken palm squeezed in, and half of the body with the core engine remained outside, stuck in the narrow passage.

The young man's blue eyes shot out an incomparably dazzling golden light at this moment, like the brightest star in the night sky before dawn, almost rivaling the sun and the moon for brilliance.

He had always felt that something was searching for him, trying to get close to him.Now, this thing made of metal is right in front of him.

The hull shook violently, the connecting part of the two hulls was completely broken, and the second half of the warship fell into the trench.And the first half of the warship couldn't maintain its center of gravity, and was slowly dumping towards the trench.

The water monsters fled the warship one after another.

Leon looked at the remnant of the headless mecha, and then stretched out his hand towards it.

In the next instant, the mecha quickly disintegrated.

The parts were scattered and deformed, and they rushed towards Leon, wrapped his still immature body, and quickly formed a light armor tailor-made for him.

The sturdy helmet, the smooth shoulders, the rusty but firm girdle, the hanging legs are tightly attached to the boy's slender and healthy legs, and the core unit and booster are buckled behind.

Leon's blond hair fluttered in the water, and his handsome face was resolute and calm beyond his age.

He hugged the unconscious Ian tightly with one hand, raised one arm, and was armed into a majestic and huge iron arm.

All the strength in the boy's body was poured into this arm.The core machine was running at high speed, and the energy circuit on the Iron Fist flickered frantically.

The booster erupted, and Leon rushed to the window of the ship and punched him.

Half of the ship turned over and carried it down towards the trench.The water pressure rose rapidly.The darkness opened its mouth wide, waiting to engulf the ship.

The side of the hull exploded suddenly, opening a big hole, and a ball of light rushed out from it.

It broke free from the sunken ship and shot towards the sea like a golden arrow.
