NOVEL WEB Chapter 707 Zidale Gas_2
Its body had very few feathers, appearing gray and black, with a scorched smell.
The wings were riddled with holes, from which black blood occasionally dripped, sizzling into small pits on the ground.
And with each step, Xila let out a cry, sounding like a scream of pain—for it, every step would tug at the already rotten muscles, causing immense pain.
Yet it still chose to slowly walk over.
Whoosh!
Two green beams of light struck Xila, causing it to howl in agony!
"Great, this creature is extremely fragile!" Xin Cheng, piloting Flying Swallow No. 1, was thrilled seeing the wounds opened on the monster after hitting it.
Da Gu, piloting Fly Swallow Two, was puzzled: "Xin Cheng, maybe we should pause the attack; this monster seems a bit off."
Too weak!
And despite clearly feeling pain, it ignored it and headed towards the direction of the Zidale Gas... this is strange!
"Da Gu, what are you saying?" Xin Cheng's displeased voice echoed in the communicator, "Our duty is to defeat the monster, draw it out of the city and minimize the losses."
After he spoke, he turned to say to Lina sitting behind him, "Lina, am I right?"
"Even so, I think Da Gu is right; this monster might really be different from the others. Even when attacked, it doesn't fight back." Lina was also slightly moved, "This one is different from the one we encountered before that Tiga drove out from Earth, it feels pain and is very weak, yet it doesn't retaliate."
"It's a monster after all, nothing strange about it behaving in any way." Xin Cheng was helpless, but still paused the attack and used the communication device to report the situation to Kujima Megumi, Zongfang, and others on the ground.
Zongfang frowned and said, "Da Gu, Lina, you're being too sentimental!"
"Wait, Deputy Captain, perhaps it really can be resolved unconditionally!" Zheng Zha, standing on the same defense line as Zongfang, spoke. He knew the plot, "I've heard from Chu Xuan that this monster turned from his daughter's pet... maybe it just wants to destroy the Zidale Gas."
"Don't be naive, it's a monster!" Zongfang scolded angrily, "Just a move, and landslides, even if it's kind, so what? We're not an animal protection organization! Humanity is not yet at a stage where we can coexist peacefully with monsters!"
Zheng Zha was stunned; he had never imagined Zongfang could be so stern!
"Zongfang, perhaps we can trust Da Gu for once." Kujima Megumi spoke up.
"Why... Da Gu?" Zongfang fell into silence, as if understanding, he nodded and said, "Alright, then let's pause the attack!"
"Chu Xuan, did you hear that?" During this time, Sun Wukong had kept the communication channel open, connecting to Chu Xuan. Content sourced from MV4LEMPYR – My Virtual Library Empire.
"I heard."
On the other end of the video, Chu Xuan adjusted his glasses, "But convincing Dr. Genjin is likely not going to be easy."
"No, I'm not a stubborn old man!" Dr. Genjin coughed twice, spitting out a mouthful of dark red blood, "If Xila is aiming to destroy the Zidale Gas, then there's no reason to stop it."
"This is all my fault—"
"Even if it wants to eat me, it's fine. I can hold the Zidale Gas and go into its stomach with it... this is the end I deserve."
"If it weren't for my research on the Zidale Gas, Mami wouldn't have died."
Zongfang secretly clenched his fists, taking the communication device from Sun Wukong, saying, "Dr. Genjin, please do not say such things! Chu Xuan, protect the doctor well!"
"Understood!" Chu Xuan's expression was solemn.
Kujima Megumi took the communicator from Zongfang's hands and spoke to Dr. Geng Jing, "Doctor, please do not belittle your life, I think if your daughter were still alive, she would definitely forgive you!"
"Yes." Dr. Genjin nodded weakly, knowing that his body's state couldn't hold out much longer, and he knew he had to do something.
For his daughter...
At this moment, Xila, dragging its broken body, had arrived in front of Chu Xuan and Dr. Genjin.
The laser from Xin Cheng earlier had already left its body utterly exhausted, with its muscles even starting to decay—it had long since died!
But the guilt towards its owner, and longing, made its soul stubbornly control the scorched body, and it "revived" using the energy from the Zidale Gas.
It was a walking corpse!
When everyone saw that Xila really stopped in front of Dr. Genjin, they were all stunned.
"You really guessed it!" Zongfang glanced at Zheng Zha, then looked at the still-standing Xila, murmuring.
"Hee~"
Xila called out, its body crouching down, its pitch-black beak opened, and a pillar of golden light emerged, shining on the ground—≦─=≡Σ
"Xila, do you really want to take away the Zidale Gas?" At that moment, Dr. Genjin understood Xila's intention.
It wasn't revenge against him, but to destroy the Zidale Gas!
"I'm sorry, Xila!"
Dr. Genjin took the box containing the Zidale Gas from Chu Xuan's hands, placed it in the golden light beam, and the box slowly ascended, entering Xila's mouth.
And Xila closed its mouth, got up, trying to flap its wings to fly to outer space, but because of the previous strike from Xin Cheng, its body could no longer take flight and fell to the ground.
