【Second Ring District·3:09 am】
"City News, bringing you the latest news."
"Today's turbulence index in the dangerous area is level 7. The weather is relatively severe. It is recommended that the resource expedition team reduce their outings..."
"Insert an advertisement - are you still troubled by the aging of the city? Are you still troubled by the parents' employment and nurturing? Eden's newly launched product [Bionic Child] allows you to raise your own exclusive child without obtaining a parent's certificate. Child……"
"Crack!"
A blood-stained iron rod hit the radio, and the sound of advertising stopped abruptly.
"The labor and management have long been tired of hearing those news about Lao Shizi every day." The soldier holding an iron bar spat at the fragments of the radio and turned around to continue searching.
In the supermarket where the shelves are scattered, the rebels are searching for food and weapons.
In the past, this would have been impossible to happen. But now, the surrounding eagle and dog machines that were responsible for guarding had abnormally entered a dormant state, and no one stopped this group of people from looting.
The rebels invaded the inner city and broke into residential buildings. The residents screamed and screamed all around.
"——How did you break into my house!"
"—Where's my door lock alarm? Where's my guard robot? Why—"
"——Don't come over! Don't come over! Don't smash my things——"
"Da da da da——"
Gunshots sounded like raindrops.
In the quiet night of the city, the noise broke the sleep.
The hawk-dog machines on the streets no longer abide by the laws of the city-state.
As guards to protect the safety of the residents, their eyes were red, as if they had souls of their own. They no longer paid attention to the residents asking for help, but instead helped the group of rebels who invaded the city.
The most lethal firearms fell into the hands of the rebels, who vented their desires and anger like wild beasts out of their cages.
[——Kill Dawn. 】
This is their heartfelt slogan.
It was as if they wanted to put half their life's injustice and anger into words, and wanted to spit out the flames of anger from their guns. They wanted to make this city-state in the rain overturn for the dawn of their new century.
They want to kill Asa Actor, the leader of the current city-state.
"Click-"
The helicopter hovered in the wind and rain, and the female reporter from the TV station opened the hatch and broadcast the current battle live, with the camera lens pointed at the midnight lights below.
"——The evening dispatch brings you the latest news..."
The young female reporter spoke quickly to the camera.
Her expression was a little frightened, and her eyes were full of disbelief, as if she didn't expect that someone would dare to cause turmoil in the City of Measurement.
Half of her body was drenched by the heavy rain. She hung in the cabin door, pointing the camera lens at the street below, where a black torrent of rebels was gathering.
"At three o'clock in the morning today, a resistance force of about a thousand people gathered in the Karst Industrial Zone and led people with inferior personalities into the inner city.
"——From here we can see that the area adjacent to the Second Ring Road has been occupied, street stores have been smashed, smashed and looted, electrical facilities have been damaged, residents' houses have been invaded, and fires have begun in many areas.
"The core district council has determined that this is a vicious incident - residents led by inferior personalities decided to gather in crowds to resist because they did not obey the current city-state welfare and system.
"Their target seems to be directly aimed at Central City. The current destruction is to search for resources and weapons, and they will not stay too much in the second ring area.
"This should be [Tavi]'s infiltration of the Eagle Dog military. It cut off the connection between the Eagle Dog mechanical army and the Dawn surveillance system, which caused the Dawn system to fail to respond in time, allowing people to fire shots.
"A spokesman for the Peace Dove News Agency described the current situation as, [a free dance of the souls of the rebels]. Investors of the "Dream Making" Group said, "This is a bold internal fight that defies the laws of the city-state. Those who seek refuge with other defenders will be suppressed].
"As of now, the vicious incidents are still unfolding, and the rebels are calling on residents around them to join the team. After the suppressing troops in the inner towns arrive at the scene, the two sides may exchange fire and turn this turmoil into a small war...
"KiwiTV will continue to provide you with coverage over the next few hours..."
The female reporter's trembling voice sounded in every house through the sound transmission equipment.
The sound of gunfire was like thunder, waking up the sleeping residents. They turned on the TV sleepily, only to receive such horrific news.
——The rebels are targeting Central City.
People have long been immersed in the peace and happiness of the city-state and have worked diligently for decades. They never thought that gunshots would be fired from within the city-state.
Since the Dawn War thirty years ago, when the "City of Doom" was transformed into the "City of Measurement", they had not heard the sound of gunfire again.
"Mom, why are there gunshots..."
"Don't be afraid, it's just an accident... Let's hide in the room and don't talk. By tomorrow, everything will be fine and the Dawn System will save us..."
This is a mother and daughter with the doors and windows locked. The girl is hiding in her mother's arms. The mother has her eyes closed and they are trembling.
Gunshots continued to ring out in the city.
Every gunshot seemed to hit people's hearts.
The gunfire of the rebels is a bloody struggle that mocks the name of peace in the city-state, and is a provocation that tramples order and law underfoot.
People's eyes were blood red, they were wearing body armor, like hard black beetles, and their soles were stained with blood that couldn't be washed away.
During the heavy rain, the gradually thin red color fell into the puddle. When the foot wearing leather boots fell, blood and rain splashed up together.
Resistance troops, like black beetles, kept flowing through the streets, loading boxes of resource boxes onto trucks.
Between the hazy fog and rain, the yellow truck headlights projected out, like two sharp lightsabers penetrating the darkness and shining into the distant future.
The roar sounded, the truck started, and the "Black Beetles" sitting on the truck raised their guns.
"Boom boom boom——!"
The headlights soared to the brightest level, like two cold stars in the dark night.
In the blood-red sight of the mechanical army,
——The truck was speeding straight towards Central City.
…
Under the rain.
The blond and blue-eyed leader of the resistance was leaning against the wall and smoking.
He looked into the distance in silence, looking at that sharp building standing in the dark night like a lighthouse.
That is Central City, the towering Central City, which is also their ultimate goal.
At his feet, there was a middle-aged man lying with a dead expression on his face - the electronic information of the supermarket employee was hung on the man's chest. This is a very ordinary ordinary person. He has the latest lipstick in his pocket, maybe for his wife, maybe for his newly grown daughter.
But tonight, with the sound of a gunshot in flames, all his future disappeared like a dream.
The smoke rose faintly in the rain. Under the blond hair of the leader of the resistance army, his pair of sky-like blue eyes looked hazy. He seemed to be immersed in a peaceful atmosphere.
"Click."
He stepped on the edge of the supermarket employee's pocket, and his lipstick squeaked slightly.
...It seemed to be the sound of a broken family.
"At 3:15 in the morning, we successfully broke into the second ring area. The number of survivors was 65. The average combat power was 1,300 points. A total of 899 NPCs voluntarily surrendered. [Portkey] played a major role in the infiltration of the Eagle and Dog Army. The Dawn System failed to mobilize effective forces in time to destroy us."
A woman in a tight leather jacket jumped from the roof. She was Natalie, the top player and the "guardian" of the blond man.
The "guardian" who prevents him from going crazy and monitors his mental state at all times.
"...Edward." Natalie stretched out her hand and called out the blond man's name.
The rebel leader's eyelashes moved slightly.
Natalie's hand passed over his left cheek, wiping away the blood splattered on his face.
This action looks concerned and ambiguous.
Natalie grinned, a bright smile appearing on her exquisite Western European appearance.
"We...were very successful." She said with a smile: "Our speed is fast enough. The city-state is a huge sieve, and countless people who have been infiltrated by [Tavi] have provided us with huge conveniences."
"Yeah." Edward responded.
He took off the cigarette, and the back of his hand was covered with broken raindrops.
"As long as someone shouts - the war will start." He said: "World Games allows us to enter the instance at just the right time. Many people have already fallen into other dimensions. We are just a pusher, giving them a chance to start a war. slogan."
"However, the residents of the inner city are still loyal to the Dawn System and Akto." Natalie said: "Our speeches and persuasion have not had much effect. Almost no one is willing to join us, except for those with inferior personalities."
"It is expected." Edward said: "After all, even if the resistance army wins and destroys the Dawn System, this city-state will be destroyed in the future. In this kind of apocalypse, without the Dawn System, millions of people will not survive at all. "
"But..." He raised his eyelids: "That doesn't matter, most of the residents are idiots, just let this illusory 'freedom' be the slogan to hang them.
What I like to watch most is when humans turn on their own heroes and kill the people who once saved them. "
Natalie smiled.
"Yes, it doesn't matter." She said with a smile: "As long as we kill Su Ming'an and snatch the camp's highest points - what does the future of this city have to do with us? Only that guy Su Ming'an insists on it every time Achieve an ending that saves most people.”
"Let's go." Edward threw away the cigarette.
"Click-click."
On the wall, an LCD screen suddenly lit up.
Edward raised his head and looked at the screen. This seemed to be an emergency live broadcast.
In front of the blue background of the press conference, countless microphones were raised like weeds, and they all fell uniformly in the direction of the central speaker, the speaker of the core district, Fokri Kolbi.
The speaker stood in front of the flashlight with a serious expression:
"...The evacuation operation of the city-state is in urgent progress.
"The city-state has entered a state of emergency, and power and water outages may occur. Residents are asked not to be nervous and wait at home. We have the ability to ensure the personal safety of residents, and the armed forces are heading to the Second Ring District to suppress it.
“I believe that the Dawn system will respond to this matter in time and everything will return to normal.
"This kind of rebellious behavior that dares to provoke a civil war and consume internal survival resources is a betrayal of human civilization. The city-state strongly condemns humans who take refuge in other dimensions.
"At this moment, the residents of the city-state should believe in the surveying state, the impartial Dawn system, the powerful mechanical armed force in the city, and -"
Speaking of this, the speaker suddenly raised his voice a few times.
He faced the camera and said seriously:
"——Our great Lord Asa Akto!"
"Believe him, he will definitely serve as a beacon for the city-state and bring peace and order back to the residents!"
"We are all his loyal light chasers..."
"..."
It’s clear from this last paragraph that the speaker is not the original.
He is the top player on the list, "Prophet" Alande, who was personally ordered by Dawn to protect Akto from death.
After learning that Edward was lined up with them, he was instantly frightened - Edward and Su Ming'an were facing each other. This was simply the battle of the century. Who knows what the world would be like.
Sure enough, in the early morning of the seventh day after the dungeon was opened, Edward, who had been dormant for a long time, set off a declaration of war and led the resistance forces straight into Central City.
Alande thinks Su Mingan will win. So he flattered Su Mingan at the end of his speech to show his attitude.
——In the majestic rain, Edward stared at the LCD screen coldly and sneered.
"Wait, then."
Those who don't think highly of him, those who despise him, those who think he is crazy...
He wants them to pay.
After surrendering to the organizer, he has stronger authority and is different from before.
Just a dog.
Who is nobler than whom?
He looked around and saw a group of crazy residents in front of the bank's ATM machine not far away. They smashed the glass and snatched the banknotes from the cabinet, their faces full of desire and ferocity.
The backs of the residents' necks shone with a blood-like color. This color was avoided by people in the past, but now it is as dense as the stars in the sky.
Driven by sin and desire, the white rabbit can also turn into a wild wolf.
This group of people with average personalities who claim to be emotionally stable and aloof have abandoned their conscience and civilization in front of the money at their fingertips, and are as ugly as beasts.
The most precious part of "people" was trampled to pieces amid the gunfire and green banknotes scattered like heavy rain.
Amidst the blazing gunfire, the defenders in sheep's clothing raised their torches,
In the name of "freedom" and "struggle", they point their swords at the robin that brings the dawn.
——Then their own glorious lives were burned up in a fire.
