Tower of Babel, seventy-seventh floor.
The tense atmosphere in the conference room has calmed down as the city's defense system has been put on track. The city map on the projection screen has been colored red and blue, with Jingwei clearly divided into two areas: red and yellow areas, enemy-occupied areas. , as well as clearing the blue field recaptured by the enemy, symbolizing the light spots of the resistance and the automatic defense forts. Sometimes they are entangled, sometimes separated, sometimes appear in the opponent's control area, and sometimes they suddenly become Gray annihilated by logos.
The ministers of various ministries have found the backbone after Dr. Hyde returned. They quickly stabilized and began to arrange the evacuation and transfer of civilians as required. While Dr. Hyde remotely controlled the fort through the terminal, he stared at the map on the projection screen. The areas controlled by both parties were After the edges are enlarged, they present a zigzag shape that interlocks with each other. There are enemy rebels in these edge areas at all times, or the light spots of our own automatic turrets are extinguished, and the surrounding areas are painted with other colors. , but these areas will soon be recaptured by the reinforcements of light points.
Several hours have passed since the city's defense system was activated. The sky outside is still filled with yellow-brown haze, making it difficult to tell the specific time. The two sides in the fierce exchange of fire in the city seemed to be evenly matched, but The overall advantage in the city is tilted towards the Haide side because compared with the rebels who invaded the city at the beginning, the number left is now less than one before. Many rebels have been surrounded and may be attacked by automatic turrets at any time. Annihilation.
Hyde looked at these blocks that were constantly changing colors and couldn't help but sigh.
Johnson noticed the change in his mood and suddenly asked: Doctor, what's wrong?
This approach is not like Jekyll's method. Hyde frowned. He stretched out his hand and clicked a few dots on the projection screen, pointing at several entangled light spots in the red and blue edge areas: Look here, here, and here
Johnson looked in the direction he was pointing. Those areas had changed color and changed hands many times. Several rebel forces trapped in the encirclement tried to break out several times, but they were always blocked by the automatic turrets raised in batches. The color of the map has switched back and forth between red and blue several times during the outbreak of fighting. If the frequency of switching was faster, it might even cause epilepsy. This made Johnson a little strange: it seemed that the counterattack was very powerful, but this Any questions?
The problem is big. Hyde shook his head. These vanguard troops have been fighting alone in the city until now, and have been almost cleared by our automatic turrets. However, the army outside the city is still in trouble with friendly forces, and they are motionless. This is the biggest problem in commanding these troops. The commander of the resistance is definitely not Jekyll.
Jekyll?
This familiar name flashed through Johnson's mind, but no specific figure emerged in his mind because he didn't know this person, or even met him. He had only heard this person from Dr. Hyde countless times. I have heard of this person's name and deeds countless times, but judging from his nostalgic tone and slightly nostalgic expression, he must be an old acquaintance of the doctor.
In addition to his identity as a rebel, he might be an acquaintance who turned against Dr. Hyde because of the brain-computer revolution. But Johnson is not surprised by this: because there are too many people like this in the brain-computer revolution. In the early days of being assassinated by extremist organizations, those who decided to change the world with Hyde all turned against each other. Scorned by friends, scolded by relatives, accused by lovers.
At that time, they faced a situation where not only their relatives and friends were instigated by others to turn against them, but also people all over the world were against them.
But what does this have to do with whether he is Jekyll or not? How did you figure it out? But questions immediately emerged, Johnson said doubtfully.
Hyde looked at the color exchange on the map and suddenly showed a smile: That guy Jekyll is a good old man. He will not let his subordinates get into this kind of meaningless tug-of-war. He will not sit outside and watch the show, and he will not let it go. The subordinates inflicted atrocities on the weak. Judging from the previous videos, our enemies may be hoping to use our hands to eradicate some incombustible garbage.
Are you saying that the commander behind the resistance is deliberately sending these enemies who are inconvenient for him to die on the front lines? Johnson understood immediately, but then more doubts came: He
Are you so sure that you will take over this burden?
Haide chuckled: In this case, I really can only accept the burden he throws at me.
But wouldn't this play into the opponent's hands?
Because we have no choice. Hyde raised his head and glanced at Johnson, then lowered his head and continued the operation at hand. At the same time, he said unhurriedly: I don’t know if it was a coincidence or necessity, but they happened to choose to enter when Sibilla was down and all the defense systems were disabled. In the Mechanical City, it is pointing directly at our core lifeline, the Tower of Babel. If we don't want it to end here, we can only use our trump cards to resist, otherwise we can only sit back and wait for death, so we have no choice from the beginning, we must help him Clear away this baggage, and he can even use the deaths of these people to promote our cruelty.
Exploring the road, clearing away the internal baggage, and boosting one's own morale is really a good way to kill three birds with one stone.
In just a few words of conversation, a flashing red light group on the projection screen was extinguished, and the red enemy-occupied area was quickly dyed blue.
What's more, those who think of using these troops as cannon fodder and sending them to the front line to explore the way have probably already thought of a series of countermeasures. I believe that even if we don't have an automatic city defense system, or are not prepared to fight them at all, the people behind the opponent's The commander must have other means to deal with these scum, but he doesn’t know whether to send loyal and elite troops to hunt and kill them later, or to use the crimes these people committed in the city as evidence to eliminate them.
Johnson was secretly speechless as he listened, and couldn't help asking: If it were Jekyll, what would he do?
The expression on Hyde's face started to look a little weird. Well, if it were Jekyll, he would probably tell you that people will die if they are killed. Life is not something to be thrown away! You should cherish your life and don't seek death easily. Such mindless preaching, and then he leads the charge into the battlefield, right?
Mechanical city, northern suburbs wasteland.
If a person is killed, he will die. Jekyll sighed and stopped. Looking at Elizabeth and the Crimson Queen who were stubbornly following him, he didn't know how many times he had tried to persuade her: You must think clearly, Mechanical City. The trip is very dangerous. From here onwards, you will enter the high-risk area. You may be discovered by a drone at any time, captured or even killed by a drone. Life is not something to be discarded. You can always stay in a safe area. Waiting for Wu Ming and others to come out
Originally, Jekyll was going to give the two little girls directions and let them return to the underground shelter as soon as possible. But after hearing that Wu Ming and Zhao Sida, who had helped him and the Tekka Group a few days ago, sneaked into the Mechanical City to find the electronic components of the Crimson Queen and set their sights on the perfect body that was taken away by the tyrant Hyde, he There was another reason to go to Mechanical City to see if they could take advantage of the chaos to rescue these two benefactors who had helped Tekkadan a lot.
But along the way, these two little girls who were inexperienced in the world seemed to have no sense of nervousness at all. They were not worried at all about the whereabouts and current situation of Wu Ming and Zhao Sida. They were happily going out for an outing. They were obviously attracted by Wu Ming and Zhao Sida. Wu Ming was very protective, which made Jekyll even more worried: he was worried that he would not be able to rescue Wu Ming in the end because he was not strong enough, leaving these little girls helpless and difficult to survive.
Elizabeth had listened to the sermon hundreds of times along the way, and Elizabeth, who should have been able to hear it in her ears, always acted as if she was hearing it for the first time. She replied with a silly smile full of sunshine: But I am not a human being, so I shouldn’t have to worry about it. It's a matter of death
Jekyll himself didn't know how many times he felt powerless in communication. This silly girl's brain circuit seemed to be completely different from his. No matter what he said, the other party would never understand its meaning.
The Scarlet Queen on the screen seemed to be a little more mature, unlike Elizabeth who was always carefree. She nodded, and a crisp Google girl synthesized voice came: The eldest brother has been away for a long time, and Scarlet is very worried about them.
When she said these words, the Scarlet Queen secretly smiled in her heart: I feel like something interesting will happen to Big Brother. I must grab a first-class seat this time. Although listening to Big Brother tell stories is quite interesting, sometimes Scarlet also wants to see it in person. Witness the story happening
This is the Crimson Queen’s true intention to go to the Mechanical City, or in other words, after a certain point in time, she
An idea that comes from conducting a future observation
As for Elizabeth
She had long forgotten Zhao Sida's warnings and threats to her before leaving. Just as the doll girl predicted, with the passage of time, the restraining effect of the threats and warnings to her before leaving would continue. Decreasingly, and now she has completely forgotten about it. Coupled with the emotions and thoughts that the Crimson Queen intentionally or unintentionally leaked from the spiritual link, this silly girl who is easily encouraged has also forgotten the original intention of acting without authorization. With a silly look on his face, he followed Jekyll through the mountains and forests, all the way to the edge of the mechanical city.
Seeing that the two of them were so determined, mainly because of the Crimson Queen, Jekyll sighed again, thinking that the worst thing he could do was flip the table over, no matter what, he could at least ensure the safety of the two girls. After leaving, he reluctantly agreed to them. The two made a somewhat excessive request: Okay, I will try my best to protect your safety on the road, but you can't act without authorization, otherwise, even if I use force, I will take you out of the Mechanical City and send you back to the settlement.
Elizabeth nodded like a fool, but Jekyll now doubted whether she understood what he said, but he didn't want to care so much anymore. He took a deep breath and turned to look at the buildings that were almost within easy reach.
The enemy is in the Tower of Babel!
