American Comic World Ultimate Warrior

Chapter 114 The Base
A retro chandelier hangs on the wall, a heptagonal pattern stands in the center, and at the core of the center is a magnificent statue.

It stands tall, with gorgeous decorations paving around it. This huge statue, which is nearly ten meters high, has been erected here for hundreds of years. After the baptism of time, it is still intact.

The majestic demeanor tells its nobility, the gorgeous decoration represents its identity, and the tall body is like an indestructible city wall and faith, sheltering its people.

This church hall, which can accommodate nearly 500 people, is full of prayers at this moment. They are wearing the most solemn dresses, and everyone has a serious expression. They all lower their heads, like a most devout believers.

In the next second, the door of the church opened, and a woman appeared at the door. Behind her were two soldiers in armor, which could also be called guards.

When she led two guards into the church hall, the prayers standing inside made way for her.

"I am the great light, walking in darkness."

"I am the embodiment of light, protecting its people."

"Everyone, please let the great sun shine on us again!"

The prayers of the people resounded in the church auditorium, as if everyone was piously yearning. Faith gave them great courage, firm belief, and hope to live.

They are the last survivors of the Suda civilization!
"Great me, please wake up again, your people need your shelter, your light, and your strength, noble leader, please open your eyes and look at this planet! Look at the former home !Look at us!"

Under the leadership of the woman, everyone in the church was praying for the last time, but unfortunately, in the face of their devout prayers, the huge statue did not move at all, just like itself, it was just a noble and majestic statue.

As for this result, the prayers seemed to have known it for a long time, but instead of being discouraged, they looked at the huge statue with more determined eyes.

They believed that the once great leader would not abandon themselves, they longed for miracles to appear, and they also longed for the light of freedom to come to this planet again.

When the woman standing in front of the statue turned her head, everyone was looking at her, as if waiting for her to announce the final result of this prayer.

"Yes, our great leader once again ... did not respond to us."

They all knew the result of what the woman said, because since the establishment of the church, this huge statue has not responded to them, but they still pray day after day, year after year.

Not for anything else, just to seek a hope in their hearts, even if that hope is so slim that it makes people feel extremely disappointed, this cannot stop them from praying for a miracle.

With this almost slim expectation, the prayers dispersed. They left the church auditorium and returned to their original positions in this base. After all, they still have to survive, and it is impossible to escape reality, so they can only accept it , adapt to it, and face the world together with it.

After a few minutes.

Not long after the prayers left, several personnel in combat uniforms walked into the church auditorium. They were the Extreme Ice Squad who had just narrowly escaped death a few days ago, and the leader of the team was Lei Shi himself.

They walked to the woman in gorgeous costumes, and before Lei Shi could speak, the woman shook her head and sighed:

"Captain Lei Shi, how long can my father last?"

"My lord, he"

"Hey, it's all my fault. It's my fault that I shouldn't let him look for the legend. If it weren't for that strange dream, maybe we could still have a healthy lord instead of being sick."

This noble-looking woman blamed herself and sighed. Because of her presumptuous assertion, her father, who is also the current manager of the base, is suffering from serious illness at the moment.

"Ray Ashley, the lord will be fine, don't worry, the day after tomorrow, I will lead the whole team to that city to get back the medicine the lord needs."

"If it's really a simple medicine that can cure my father's ailment, that would be great. It's a pity that my father has a heart disease."

"Heart disease? Is there no other way? The lord's life cannot be lost, and the base cannot do without him now!"

Seeing Lei Shi's anxious expression, she was silent for a while, and after a few seconds, she sighed softly:

"If a great leader is found, maybe my father's heart disease can be healed, but that's so easy."

"That's right, it's that easy. It's already very difficult for us just to survive, let alone organize our forces to find that legend."

"Hey, it's all my fault. My father believed my prophecy too much. He went alone, and within half a day, he returned to the base with serious injuries. Perhaps the desperate environment outside made his heart die, or perhaps the ambiguity of looking for legends is impressive. Less than hope, too much..."

Seeing her haggard look, Lei Shi didn't know what to say at the moment. It wasn't that he couldn't comfort others, but that what Lei Ashley needed now was not comfort, but hope.

It is the hope that can save all of them. They can no longer bear this torture like an abyss devouring them, but they have no choice but to continue to survive. Everything is for living.

Feeling that the atmosphere was a little low, Hillus on the side broke the silence in front of her eyes, and she said seriously:

"We haven't lost. No matter how slim the hope is, we will do our best to find that legend, because it is our last hope!"

"Lesh, Ashley, we can do it, as long as we are united, hope will always appear, just like your daily prayer! If the leader really exists, then he will definitely respond to us!"

"Are you always willing to go on like this? Ah?! Answer me?!"

Faced with Heathrow's question, everyone was a little silent. Even though they were unwilling to live in such a meager way, the cruel reality was before them, and it was not their turn to make other choices.

"Ashley, tell me, aren't you the one who believes in legends the most! Tell everyone, we still have hope! Legends are true!"

"Eh……"

Seeing Heathrow's excited look, Lei Ashley sighed. She is the same as Heathrow. She also firmly believes that the legend is true, but she dare not bet and dare not take the last prize of this base. Strength to gamble on that sliver of hope.

She was scared, that's right, as her father fell, she even doubted herself a little, wondering if she was too naive to pin her hopes on the legend.

But when she thought of the long-standing legend, her own life experience, and the prophecy in her dream, they all told her that the legend was true, and they were all descendants of the great leader.

Unfortunately, repeated failures and disappointments made her, the most steadfast, feel powerless. She didn't know what to do. Just when she was about to give up, a crisp voice reached their ears.

"Mother, let me go, I can find my mother's ancestors."

"Why are you here, Elijah?"

Walking in from a distance is Ray Ashley's daughter, Ray Elijah.

"Mother, since my father left, my awakened predictive ability is stronger than yours. You know that if this is really our last chance."

"Then we can only stand alone!"

Seeing the determination on the face of the young woman in front of her, Lei Ashley was silent. Her daughter inherited her youthful appearance, glamorous, beautiful, talented, and her enviable figure.

The most important thing is that she has been smart since she was a child, and she knows the current changes and environment of the planet she lives on. She has a strong predictive ability, which allows her to detect danger in advance and escape, and even has a stronger predictive ability than herself.

Originally, Lei Ashley planned to let her inherit everything in the church, but in the end, she found out that her daughter's strength after awakening is not suitable for being a priest of the church, but is more suitable for being with the Extreme Ice Squad, because her ability can make the Extreme Ice Squad Avoid more dangers.

But after all, it was her own daughter, and Ray Ashley didn't want to see her take risks.

As if sensing her mother's hesitation, Lei Ilia said seriously again:

"Mother, I've already told them about the Judgment Church. They agreed to this last attempt, even those old stubborn ones. What else do you have to worry about?"

"Even if we fail in the end, I will be able to bring them back to the base safely. At that time, maybe they will really be like grandpa, without any hope..."

"However, if we don't even make the last attempt, what is the difference between despair and despair? Mother, you should know that this perception is the strongest in more than ten years. We must grasp this faint hope!"

"If the legend is true, it can't be wrong!"

After finishing speaking, Lei Ilia looked at the woman in gorgeous clothes, and she knew that her mother would have to make a decision next.

And after this brief silence lasted only a few seconds, Lei Ilia got the answer she wanted.

"Go, go prepare, this may really be our last hope..."
