Chapter 112 Vatican City
With the rapid expansion of the ocean, Italy's long boots have been changed to flat shoes at this time, and the territory is gradually shrinking.
Territory has been reduced sharply.
The ocean is raging.
Rome, the capital of Italy, is a nearby country China.
Vatican.
An inland city-state located in the highlands of the northwest corner of Rome, the capital of Italy.
The country with the smallest territory and the smallest population in the sea blue star has an area of only 0.44 square kilometers.
Because it borders Italy on all sides, it is called "National China".
It is the center of Catholicism all over the world - the Holy See led by the Pope, and is said to be the center of faith for one-sixth of the world's population.
In the fields of politics and culture, it even has the influence of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Although the territory is small, it cannot be underestimated.
At this time, the Vatican had reached nearly 100,000 people, all of which were fleeing to Italy, as well as Catholic believers from neighboring countries. After the disaster, they flocked into the Vatican.
Pray to God to save the world.
The usually quiet Vatican was already in riots at this time, and countless refugees were walking in a mess on the streets of the Vatican and flocking to the Vatican's main hall.
St. Peter's Basilica.
St. Peter's Basilica, the most sacred place in the Catholic Church, and the most magnificent place in the Vatican.
The square in front of St. Peter's Basilica had already accommodated tens of thousands of people at this time. Everyone stood in the square, looking at the church standing in front of them with a restless look on their faces.
The dome of the church is towering, and stained glass emits a sacred brilliance under the sunlight.
The broadcaster's solemn voices kept ringing in the Vatican City, and the news of the expansion of the waves was always broadcast. Only the sounds on the radio were heard saying in a deep voice:
"The waves have swallowed Carson City, and there is only one hour at most, and the waves will be in the future."
"God blesses, Amen."
Everyone fell silent, and many people whispered in a low voice on their chests, "Amen."
Everyone sighed in their hearts, looked at the cathedral in front of them with a low expression, and their faces became more and more desperate. Some people even gave up struggling and sat down in the square, waiting for the arrival of death with a calm expression.
After a moment, the sky became more and more dim. A bell rang in the church, and the clanging sounds rang throughout the square. All the people with low expressions raised their heads in confusion.
The crisp and bright knock made everyone feel a little energetic.
The magnificent church balcony, wearing a white robe and red shoulders, slowly walked out.
Come into everyone's sight.
Everyone in the church square stood up at this time and looked up at the solemn Pope. The Pope first finished praying gestures, and then spoke.
Everyone in the square became quiet, the huge square was silent, and everyone was listening quietly to the Pope's words.
The Pope said of this disaster with a serious expression. His voice was very slow, starting from the beginning of human birth.
"The ancestor Adam was created in the image and style of God, but he was judged because of the fall of sin."
"And, judgment comes upon Himself and all his descendants, and therefore all mankind needs salvation, because he cannot escape from the punishment and control of sin."
“God prepared the Savior Jesus Christ for the fallen mankind through his fulfilled salvation.”
“Those who believe in Jesus Christ are justified and eternal life.”
All believers listened to the Pope's words piously and looked pious.
"Humans are now again incurring judgment because of their sins. The great flood is God's judgment on mankind. Judgment comes to all mankind, and all mankind needs salvation."
“Although disaster comes, God is waiting for us in the kingdom of heaven, so that all who believe in Jesus Christ will receive eternal life.”
"Get eternal life."
All the believers in the square followed the pope and said, with a loud voice.
"That light is true light, illuminating all those born in the world."
"He is in the world, and the world is also created by him, but the world does not know him."
"He came to his place, but his own people would not receive him."
"Everyone who receives him is the one who believes in his name, and he gives them authority to be children of God."
The Pope continued to speak in a deep voice, and the atmosphere in the entire square became sacred and solemn, and everyone prayed devoutly.
The church members who were originally frightened also calmed down at this time. They followed the crowd with a calm expression and stood peacefully on the square.
The sound on the radio became more and more serious at this time, and the sea water had already flowed through the ancient Rome and came towards the center of the city.
Standing on the towering balcony, the Pope could already see the blue water in the sky in the distance. The sea water quickly poured into the city and it would not take long to arrive at the Vatican.
The Pope looked at the surging sea water in the distance with a calm expression.
In the Roman city, countless refugees fled to the north in a hurry. The huge city was empty, with only broken containers and garbage everywhere left on the streets.
The shop door was open, and no one paid attention to these things anymore. The sea water slowly poured out from the streets, and sea beasts stepped onto the ancient city.
In the city, only the Vatican is left, and tens of thousands of people are waiting for the arrival of the waves.
The broadcast in the city also stopped completely with the broadcaster's last sound, and everyone was waiting for the waves to arrive.
Standing on the Vatican square, you can already smell the stinking sea breeze blowing from the sea breeze and the hoarse roars from the sea beasts in the distance.
Many people's bodies began to tremble.
The voice of prayer echoed in the square again, and everyone closed their eyes and prayed, suppressing the fear in their hearts.
There seemed to be a crisp bird song in the quiet world, and the sound was very weak, and no one in the square seemed to hear it.
The Pope, who was standing on the balcony, opened his eyes in confusion. He was just closing his eyes and praying when he suddenly heard a bird cry.
Now as the waves surge onto the mainland, animals with sensitive senses have long migrated northward. At this time, there are almost no creatures in the Roman city, and most of the remaining are abandoned cats and dogs.
They have nowhere to go, they can only wander around the streets.
As for other wildlife, especially birds, they had already flew away from Rome and flew further north as soon as the disaster occurred.
So when the pope heard the sound of birds singing, he looked surprised. Could it be that he had been too tired in recent days and had hallucinations?
But just as he was thinking, a crisp bird song came from his ears. The Pope quickly glanced around, but he did not see the birds.
With a puzzled look, the pope looked at the others, and indeed found that the other bishops beside him looked puzzled.
Several people looked at each other, then glanced around, and finally everyone's eyes fell on the large stained glass window at the end of the main hall.
