Chapter 433 Mission
Elbert was moved.
Wendy's singing was absolutely enchanting.
From the moment she first spoke, Elbert realized Wendy's voice was one in a million.
And now, he was discovering more of her magic.
Her voice was like the pure, clear song of a bird in a valley, free of any impurities.
Starting with a soft hum, it gradually rose to a powerful and resonant pitch.
Yet it wasn't harsh; it felt like a cleansing of the soul, lifting you higher and higher until you could look down upon the earth from above.
The lyrics were filled with Wendy's love for this small village.
The melody seemed to be an ancient folk tune from Lumaria.
"Robert, record this moment," Elbert said, gradually becoming entranced.
In the heart of the radiation disaster zone, under the massive vines, in the dead of night, the village was filled with the most beautiful singing.
Even Quentin didn't wake up; instead, he slept even more soundly.
In the distance, Mike looked up, his terrifying figure and appearance flickering in the firelight.
Elbert found it hard to believe.
What kind of fate could lead to this moment?
As the song continued, Elbert's thoughts drifted.
Deep in the radiation zone, no outsiders ventured in, and the vines blocked all satellite images.
After the disaster, these forgotten villagers rebuilt their village on the ruins.
They were inherently simple and hospitable.
Knowing they wouldn't be accepted by the world, they chose to live in seclusion.
Though isolated, they didn't fall into despair; they continued to live their lives.
This village, full of monsters and eerie sights, brought a word to Elbert's mind: paradise.
Elbert was deeply moved, his thoughts racing.
What did the village chief mean when he said Elbert would completely end their way of life?
Elbert intended to absorb the radiation from the sarcophagus.
But so what?
The damage from the radiation was already done, irreversible.
The villagers' appearances would remain the same, and they had no chance of leaving this place.
How would their lives change?
Elbert was puzzled.
He wanted to help these villagers, but he had no effective way to do so.
The song ended.
Wendy turned around, "Mr. Perry, did you like it?"
Elbert paused slightly.
Wendy's face was still terrifying.
But her voice was heavenly, and her personality was gentle, like an angel untouched by the world.
She must have been very beautiful before.
However, Elbert had just heard the villagers call her "Ugly Wendy."
Ugly would accompany her for life.
Elbert smiled and nodded, "It was beautiful, but such a lovely voice shouldn't be heard by just me."
Wendy's eyes lowered, "There's no way. You're the only one who doesn't mind my appearance. You don't know, before the explosion, I used to sing for tourists in the village!"
Elbert smiled warmly.
With a thought, a small drop of liquid metal emerged from the pendant on his chest, slowly forming into a rose.
Elbert handed it to her.
"Now is the same. I'm a tourist."
"Here, this is a flower for the singer."
Wendy smiled, very happy.
But she didn't know that Elbert had uploaded the video he recorded to the internet.
Elbert posted the video through the account of the famous singer Paul.
A video appeared online.
A woman standing in the moonlight, holding an instrument.
Her voice was heavenly, incredibly beautiful!
Paul's account had nearly 900 million followers!
In just one minute, the video exploded online.
Countless people were captivated, enchanted, and mesmerized!
Comments surged, reaching tens of thousands in the blink of an eye!
"This voice is so beautiful, it rivals Paul's!"
"She's a woman, her silhouette is hazy, she must be pretty!"
"This voice is almost the most beautiful female voice I've ever heard!"
"She doesn't show her face, just like Paul, so mysterious!"
"This is Paul's account, could she be?"
"Her voice is so good, she must be Paul's student!"
"I really want to see her face!"
Elbert scanned the comments and smiled knowingly, "Wendy, if you ever leave here, you'll be welcomed by everyone."
Wendy's expression darkened, "No, I won't."
Elbert shook his head, "You definitely will."
Elbert felt deeply moved at this moment.
In this world, there are many people with beautiful appearances but hearts like snakes.
Similarly, there are many people with ugly appearances but pure hearts.
This world should be seen with the heart.
After a moment of silence.
Wendy brought a blanket and smiled, "The villagers look like this, if you sleep with them, you'll have nightmares. I guess you and your friend just want to sleep by the fire."
Elbert smiled gently, "Wendy, are there any survivors in the village who weren't affected?"
"Yes."
Wendy nodded, "Darius and four others my age, their appearances didn't change, but they became incredibly strong."
Elbert nodded.
Indeed.
Some humans successfully absorbed the radiation and evolved.
Elbert asked, "Where are they?"
"They have heavy tasks. Because they look like outsiders, they often go out to gather supplies for the village."
Wendy looked towards the village entrance, "They should be back in a couple of days."
Elbert nodded again.
He had to meet them, maybe find a way to help.
The next morning.
Elbert was ready to set off alone for the sarcophagus!
As for Quentin, he was vomiting uncontrollably.
Indeed, he couldn't handle the mutated food.
Elbert felt sorry for him but had no other options.
Quentin was too pitiful.
Quentin was gasping for breath, his face green, "I must have eaten something bad yesterday."
"But!"
"I think if I eat that egg, I'll feel better!"
"Let me have a bite!"
Jace, with his head wrapped in bandages, grimaced.
Quentin's hallucinations hadn't faded.
Elbert apologized, "Please take care of my friend."
Then, Elbert walked out of the village entrance and set off.
A villager worriedly said, "Chief, the sarcophagus is very dangerous. Even Darius and the others can't get close. Will Mr. Perry be in danger going alone?"
Jace shook his head, "I can see clearly, Mr. Perry is a lion, invincible!"
"As for his friend..."
Jace looked at Quentin and said, "He's just a Sal!"
The villagers laughed.
Sal was the only creature that survived the nuclear explosion, now grown to 1300 pounds, and the village mascot.
A giant pig.
