Tower of Babel, seventy-seventh floor.
As soon as Hyde and Johnson left the elevator and returned to the emergency command headquarters on the seventy-seventh floor of the Tower of Babel, they felt something was subtly wrong in the atmosphere.
The anxious ministers of various ministries had several wired telephone receivers hanging on their bodies. They wished they had more mouths to give different orders at the same time. The noisy room was filled with the smell of tense gunpowder. Orders were inconsistent and full of errors and omissions. From time to time, orders came out of these ministers' mouths. , and when Hyde and Johnson appeared at the door of the room, everyone stopped, and the room fell into an eerie silence.
It was as if time had stopped.
The silence lasted for more than ten seconds, and then the sound of huge cheers and battle reports drowned the two of them.
Dr. Hyde, you are finally back!
There's help! There's help now!
PhD! The southern district of the city has been completely occupied, a large number of enemies have entered the Third Ring Road, and several troops are advancing towards the Tower of Babel!
At least streets and three administrative districts are currently controlled by the rebels!
Doctor, there are more enemies coming outside the city. They have destroyed the power supply facilities and signal transfer stations outside the city, occupied the industrial area, and are trying to release large-scale electromagnetic pollution to seize electromagnetic rights!
Swordsman Tower! The follow-up troops of that group of lunatics drove the tanks into the city!
That group of thugs burned in the city, and many residents have been killed. We must immediately find a way to stop this situation.
Everyone's voices talking to themselves at the same time overlapped. People's garbled words not only failed to allow Hyde to quickly understand the current situation, nor to quickly figure out what happened in the few hours he left, they overlapped. The noise made him even more confused.
However, the people in the emergency command center have seen the wind and waves after all, and with the return of Dr. Hyde, they found their backbone. Soon, the chaos of talking about each other quickly calmed down. The department secretary recounted to Hyde and Johnson the events of the past few hours as succinctly, quickly and methodically as possible.
Having an ominous premonition, the rebels chose this time to take action. Hyde pinched his forehead with a headache. Although he was a little confused by everyone's chatter at first, by then he could already deduce the incident from their few words. The general outline of the story, and the concise descriptions of these ministers allowed him to grasp many details, understand how bad the current situation was, and made his already headache even more painful. I just left a few It's only been an hour, how come you were beaten like this by the rebels?
The heads of various departments said in unison: Do you think we want to! Next, they began to argue incessantly: Sibylla's downtime left the defense force completely vacant. Should we take the lead and attack the rebels? God knows why those lunatics suddenly put their wealth and lives on the line!
Hyde was so shocked by their voices that his head hurt, and he bared his teeth to express surrender: Okay, okay, let's take it step by step. First, has the drone command link come over?
The ministers looked at each other, and the last black-haired woman in her forties, smartly dressed, shook her head: No, the technicians said they entered the key and tried to switch the drone's chain of command to manual control mode, but it was probably Due to the impact of the Sibylla outage, all drones have not responded so far, and they are trying to use other means to transfer the chain of command.
There is no way to rely on the drone defense system in a short time. Hyde's heart skipped a beat, and the ominous premonition became a little more severe, but he quickly gathered his mood and asked other questions: How many enemies are currently invading the city? Which places are in enemy-occupied areas? How many residents are expected to be trapped?
Judging from the feedback signals, there are currently at least many illegal signals in the city that cannot recognize the chip. The Chengnan District has been completely blocked by those madmen. They have established a foothold in the Chengnan District. The city surveillance probes captured several vanguard teams heading towards Ba. We are heading in the direction of the tower, and judging from the footage captured by surveillance satellites, there are more hostile units reacting in the southern suburbs of the city. Some of them are rushing around to destroy our infrastructure and signal base stations outside the city, but there are more The troops are ready outside the city and may enter the city at any time.
Answered this time
He is a chubby security minister. Although he looks ugly, his talent and qualifications have been recognized by the Sibyl test, and he is completely suitable for talents to shine in this position: When I discovered the invasion of the rebels, I sent out personnel and the security department was not affected by it. The automatic robots under Sibylla's jurisdiction conducted an emergency evacuation of the residents of the southern district of the city, and used inoperable automatic vehicles to set up roadblocks along the road to slow the progress of the rebels. However,
How is Chengnan District doing now?
Seeing Hyde's increasingly ugly look, he couldn't help but take out a handkerchief and wipe the coolant leaking from his forehead. He hesitated for a few seconds before letting out a deep sigh: This was the scene captured by the surveillance probe before it was destroyed. , you'd better take a look for yourself
As he spoke, the security minister reached out and pressed a few times on a portable touch screen device, calling up an image and projecting it on the big screen in the conference room.
Although all the facilities and equipment in the Tower of Babel are managed by Sibylla, they usually only need to control the activation of these devices by voice. However, in order to deal with emergencies like now, any facility in the Tower of Babel has manual control. The control backup system does not require the complicated process of authority transfer like drones, so all facilities and equipment in the tower can still be used normally.
After a brief black screen, the surveillance screen soon appeared on the projection screen.
The neat and orderly streets of the past no longer exist. There are raging fires burning in the storefronts on the street. Thick black smoke billows from the tall buildings. Residents of Chengnan District hang on the sidewalk street lights at different heights. They struggled painfully with tough steel wires around their necks. The body modifications gave them healthier bodies that were less likely to die, but at this moment they became the source of nightmares that prolonged the pain.
Those intruders with all kinds of weird shapes and almost no human appearance broke into one store after another, smashed the exquisite goods inside, and then left an incendiary bomb or grenade to reduce the store to ruins. They made unexplained noises. Screaming pulled the trigger of the submachine gun, turning the automatic vehicles on the road into exploding fireballs. They set high-rise buildings on fire and watched people falling from high-rise buildings one after another in order to escape. They dragged residents to the streets and exhausted all human resources. The imagination inflicted violence on them, humiliated each other, and finally hung these people on street lamps as lamps.
All the invaders on the screen are venting their long-repressed violence, as if they want to retaliate a thousandfold on these weaklings who cannot resist, and they wreak havoc in the city for the terror that the drones inflicted on them. facilities, burn the order to the ground with weapons, and then stand and laugh out loud, empty, emotionless electronic music.
It was almost like their orgy.
In the end, Hyde saw a seven or eight-year-old child being dragged for dozens of meters. He struggled to escape from the clutches and find his mother. In the end, his hands and feet were broken and he was hung in front of the surveillance probe.
The fair and tender little face was covered with dust and scratches, and bright red blood slowly seeped out. The child's eyes gradually changed from frightened to distracted, and finally lost their look.
The scene ends here.
Hyde didn't speak, but everyone knew that he was very angry now, whether it was his tightly clenched fists dripping with blood, his body shaking slightly due to anger and the blue veins popping up on his forehead, or his silence that was depressing. His silence showed everyone that he was on the verge of breaking out.
A storm is brewing in Hyde's heart, and it only takes an opportunity for this brewing storm to burst out and destroy everything.
Even if these scum die a thousand times, ten thousand times will not be a pity. Johnson spoke in a hoarse voice. His voice was full of bitterness. This is the first time I wish I didn't have a brain implant. A chip so I can torture these scum in the cruelest way I can think of.
Hyde did not answer. The increasingly tempting suggestions in his ears were tempting him towards the abyss of madness. After he closed his eyes and remained silent for a long time, he took a deep breath and slowly opened his eyes: This is the only way.
Fire, smoke, gravel, and wreckage, the streets turned into a sea of flames, the buildings turned into rubble and ruins, and the smell of gunpowder smoke and burning filled the nostrils.
As a one-eyed man who was later approved by Sanming to bring his team to the scene for support, he never thought
I have never seen such a scenery.
After being tortured, chip implanters were hung on street lamps, shops and streets were looted and destroyed, and shocking blood stains and severed limbs could be seen everywhere on the ground.
Along the way, all the one-eyed man saw was the violence and abuse unleashed by the strong on the weak.
Originally, this was supposed to be a battle to liberate the tyrant from oppression and rescue the regiment leader. Why did it end up like this?
The one-eyed man felt that there was a voice in his heart that was shouting crazily. That voice was filled with burning anger, as if an angry beast might break out of the cage at any time.
Not only him, but other members of the small team also suppressed the angry beast in their hearts. Everyone seemed to have a tight string in their hearts. Behind this string was a beast that could break out of the cage at any time. .
This strange state continued until some sparse figures appeared on the street.
They were friendly forces chasing a group of residents with submachine guns.
Ryder, the one-eyed man, spoke in a hoarse voice. Let's go to the front to see the situation.
