Su Mingan leaned against the telephone pole and heard screams one after another in the city. A massacre was taking place here.
He stared at his level 4 and 6 and walked back while holding on to the wall.
Blood flowed down his right arm, and the gun body of the Glory Hunt he was holding was dyed bright red.
He saw many Fenghuo members along the way, and they were doing the same thing as him - blocking alien beasts and protecting the neighborhood behind them.
But this is just a drop in the bucket.
There are still thousands of alien beasts, and nearly 80,000 residents are evacuating. Even if there are more mercenaries, they can only save some people.
In more places, he saw human corpses being chewed. Many people died together, maybe father and son, mother and daughter, or lovers. They still held hands tightly together when they ran for their lives.
Downed wires and gravel made the road uneven. His right arm was injured in the battle and had many similar small wounds. This was not scratched by a strange beast, but mainly caused by the shock damage caused by the aftermath of the space.
"Da." A survivor was crushed under the ruins not far away.
When they looked at each other, the survivor also recognized him.
"Akto..." the survivor said softly, stretching out his dusty hand: "It's all your fault."
The survivor's voice was very soft, and he didn't have much strength left. Blood spread along his abdomen, and the extended finger bones were broken.
He stared at Su Mingan closely, as if he was not looking at a human hero, but at an enemy who had destroyed his family.
"I also have lovers and relatives, why should I sacrifice myself for your great cause?" The survivor whispered: "Before you launched the war, before you declared war on the camp of gods... did you think about us?"
Su Mingan walked forward, blood dripping on the ground along his footsteps.
"Why did you choose District 11?" The survivor said: "Why... you can't come to us again after leading the army? Why... do we have to become cannon fodder for you to start a war?"
His voice became lower and lower. It's not like a condemnation of hatred, but more like a desperate soliloquy.
He was despairing - despairing about why human beings would encounter this, despairing that he failed to protect his family, he was just an inconspicuous corpse in a large war. His family was shattered and there was no sound of water stirred up at all.
He didn't hate Acto, he was just looking for a reason to vent his sorrow for his tragic fate and ending.
"Asa Akto. I don't appreciate you at all... Even if humanity wins, humanity will not appreciate you.
You killed my daughter, my mother, my wife, and they were eaten alive before my eyes...
And I... Even if I go to hell, I will never forgive you, you have caused all these..."
The survivor took his last breath and closed his eyes.
Su Mingan passed by the ruins without even casting a glance at the corpse.
Even though the first battle of the Dawn War was tragic, it was still victorious. Even though the casualties were huge, people had time to breathe and would have the possibility to fight back in the future.
As for whether these people hate him...
[——Akto has worked hard for the world since the catastrophe of the century to the 102nd year after the catastrophe, and has never been appreciated by anyone. 】
What does it have to do with saving these people?
…
"Rumble--"
The truck drove into the core area, and people, led by Noah, raised the electronic barrier.
When Su Mingan walked back, Tredia rushed over and wanted to hug him.
"Teacher, you are finally back..." She burst into tears, feeling pleasantly surprised at what she had lost and found.
Su Mingan turned sideways and avoided her hug.
He looked around and saw the towering buildings in District 11, and the ice-white walls were not stained with a trace of blood. All core members, elite personnel, and high-end technical personnel were evacuated in time without any losses.
He walked into the hall, and blood dripped from the unhealed wound on his right arm. The claws of the alien beast seemed to have the effect of inhibiting the healing.
"Oh, why are you so injured?" Feisi asked in surprise. Everyone saw the scene where Su Mingan intercepted the alien beast army in the air and thought he would not be injured.
Su Mingan raised his arm, which felt a little heavy.
"Su Mingan!" Luna grabbed his shoulders: "Okay, the evacuation operation is over. We will not be attacked for the time being. Noah's regional defense system has been activated. You can rest."
She lowered her gaze and saw his blood-stained right arm. The white sleeve was dyed blood red, and the amount of blood loss was a bit scary.
"I..." Su Mingan said.
"Su Mingan." Lu also walked over. He stared at Su Ming'an's bloody arm and stretched out his hand.
A bright golden light danced between Lu's five fingers. After a moment, a thin layer of golden light coated Su Mingan's shoulders, and the bleeding temporarily stopped.
Lu's profession is a metal profession similar to forging. It can condense weapons and liquefy metal, and it also has special effects in restoring blood. Although not as good as a pure nanny, it can contain some injuries.
"Su Ming'an, Luna, Noah, I, and I are here. It should be a buffer period now and no big events will happen. You can go get some sleep first." Lu let go.
The dark circles under Su Mingan's eyes were too obvious. He stayed up all night last night to record Akto's three-domain technology.
Thousands of people gathered in this area, some sitting outside the door, some crying, some standing in front of the window looking out, and some sleeping on the ground.
"Come on, go to sleep." Luna pulled him.
Su Ming'an was directly stood up by Lu and Luna.
He was at a loss. Is it in the eyes of this group of people that he is just a lunatic who refuses to rest until the last minute?
…
...It seems to be true.
"Go to sleep. Come on, be good, and we'll take you to bed." Lu led him inside, fearing that he would still run out. Luna and Tredia followed closely behind, accompanying them as if they were escorting prisoners.
They carried him all the way to the room before letting go.
"Good night, have a good rest," Luna said soothingly.
With a "click", the door closed.
Su Mingan sat on the bed and took off his blood-stained white coat.
He turned his head - looking from here, through the transparent glass sparkling under the bloody sun, he could see the city on the verge of being broken. Magenta smeared the surface of the buildings, and every inch of daylight was dyed blood red.
Among the dense shadows, exposed wires and steel frames were torn down, factory wastewater and bloody water flowed everywhere, and the entire city was like a candle in the wind that was about to be extinguished. You can vaguely see some broken limbs in the shadows, and a giant beast crawling past like a dark cloud.
His eyes were cold.
Lin Guang is really difficult to deal with. Not only is he ruthless, but his behavior pattern is also extremely unconventional. He couldn't predict what Lin Guang would do.
It's just like playing chess with a madman.
What happened today, although the loss was not big, and it could even be said to be a victory, was unexpected. No one could have imagined that Lin Guang would let tens of thousands of strange beasts attack the city.
Of course, he has one last resort - death retreat.
But if he turned back, he could not explain how he knew that the gods' camp would send alien beasts, nor could he tell the specific attack direction of the alien beasts. If we directly move everyone into the core area in advance and completely abandon the outer city... it will be like predicting the future.
——He can't save it.
This kind of situation is completely unpredictable. If he takes precautions in advance, he will simply put the organizer's IQ under his feet.
Lin Guang's move was too cruel, completely harmful to others and not beneficial to himself. Abandoning the human front has caused these behemoths to break through the edge and go straight into the center, further reducing the scope of human survival.
Su Mingan fell on the bed, overwhelmed by endless fatigue.
He half-opened his eyes and saw the barrages passing by quickly.
[Lin Guang is so cute, he actually wants to massacre a city for Luvis. 】
[It’s so exciting to watch, powerful forces colliding, Lin Guang suddenly launches a thunderous attack, trying to kill with one blow, but Su Ming’an stops him. 】
[Baimao, hehe. 】
[I really like Lin Guang and feel sorry for Lin Guang. He must have some kind of psychological shadow to act like this. Everyone, please save him. 】
Watching the barrage floating by, Su Mingan suddenly said, "Do you like Lin Guang?"
He said something and then closed his mouth.
Only the barrage was startled, thinking they had heard wrongly.
[Did Su Mingan speak just now? 】
[Is he talking to himself? How could he reply to us? 】
[His tone seemed very angry, as if he thought we shouldn't like Lin Guang...]
…
Su Mingan closed the live broadcast room.
As soon as he stretched out his hand, the amber knife flicked on his palm, the tip of the knife touched the edge of his palm, and the blade slightly cut -
Blood flowed out and pain came. His eyes became clearer and he got rid of the strange emotions in his heart. When he was in the City of Measurement, he often felt inexplicable sadness, and he would also be angry at the corruption in the City of Measurement - this should be the residual influence of Akto's body.
Just now, when people mentioned Lin Guang, anger suddenly rose in his heart. It seemed that Akto didn't like Lin Guang very much.
In fact, he himself was extremely disgusted with Lin Guang, and he was even more disgusted with the audience who only looked at the facial features but not the three views.
...As long as a person is good-looking and has white hair, can he be forgiven for even massacring a hundred thousand people and disregarding human defense?
He held the handle of the knife, and the blade reflected his bloodshot eyes. Suddenly, there was a light knock at the door.
"who!"
He opened the door and pointed the tip of the knife outward, but it touched the forehead of the white-haired young man.
Lu Shu stood at the door holding a bowl of tea, staring at him blankly.
Su Mingan put away the knife: "What's the matter?"
He thought someone was eavesdropping, but it turned out to be Lu Shu.
Lu Shu was silent for a while before raising the teacup.
"I'm here to bring you tea." Lu Shu said, "According to what you said, the tea leaves are green and the tea water is colorless."
Su Ming'an took a look at the tea. The tea was still not the same as before. It even smelled like disinfectant. He didn't know how Lu Shu brewed disinfectant from tea leaves. He was such a genius.
To be on the safe side, he would not drink anything Lu Shu offered him at this stage.
"I will rest and stop drinking." Su Mingan said, "Don't force yourself too much, your illness will get better."
"Isn't this the tea you want?" Lu Shu asked anxiously.
"Good night." Su Mingan closed the door.
Lu Shu stood outside the door and didn't move for a long time.
Wait until the tea is cool.
Holding the tea cup, he walked through the corridor, walked down the fire escape through the small door, walked all the way to the ground floor, and kicked open a door.
In a dark room with no lights, there is a female player who is tied up.
He picked up the female player's collar and stared at her:
"Still not right!"
The female player was frightened and cried bitterly: "Master Lu Shu, master, I really don't know what the tea you made before was like. I can only make it look similar. You can ask others, okay? I am also a Dragon Kingdom player." ,Let me go please……"
"You don't know?" Lu Shu said coldly.
"I really don't know, Great God Lu Shu, please..."
The female player's words stopped abruptly.
Her head fell to the ground, leaving only a broken throat bone.
Lu Shu withdrew his blood-stained hand and let go of the female player whose neck bones he had broken into pieces.
"Bang!" He smashed the porcelain bowl, his face gloomy.
…
【City of God】
Lin Guang opened his eyes.
He vomited blood before reluctantly crawling out of the dormant cabin. Countless tubes were connected to his body, tightly binding him like chains.
Driving ten thousand alien beasts to attack the city was too much of a burden for him.
"Violet—Violet!" He raised his eyes and stared at the dazzling ceiling lamp, feeling dizzy.
"Here you come, my lord!"
A slim and hot woman wearing a leather skirt walked into the room and stood respectfully next to the sleeping cabin. She is a player who used her charm and wisdom to temporarily gain Lin Guang's trust and become his deputy.
"How's the battle going?" Lin Guang asked breathlessly. He didn't have the strength to crawl to the center console to observe.
"The alien beasts broke through Area 11, but failed to penetrate the core area, so..." Violet said cautiously, "It failed."
"Why couldn't we break in?" Lin Guang was angry.
"Because Akto blocked the front of the alien beast army and delayed it for twenty minutes." Violet said.
Hearing this, Lin Guang was so angry that he spit out another mouthful of blood.
Violet hurriedly took a handkerchief to wipe him, but was pushed away by him.
"It's him again, so annoying! Don't tell me anything about Luvis in the future! I don't want to hear his name!!" Lin Guang said angrily.
"Yes." Violet followed the good example and immediately changed the subject: "Sir, I found a good flute score at the disaster site today. Do you like it?"
Lin Guang was silent for a moment, then he reluctantly stood up holding on to the wall and took the flute score. After glancing at it, he imagined how to play it.
What Violet took out was the flute score of an Ode to Joy, which in Lin Guang's mind should sound good.
"This feeling...if you let Luvis hear it..." Lin Guang murmured to himself.
The next moment, he suddenly realized that he had mentioned Luvis again. He was so angry that when he stretched out his hand, several innocent guard robots broke into two pieces with a "click".
"If you don't like Luvis, just kill him." Violet looked at this scene helplessly.
"I don't like him." Lin Guang gasped: "But I don't want to kill him either."
After a moment of pause, he added: "But I have to kill him to avoid being so sad?"
"Sir, do you know what 'emotion' is?" Violet thought for a moment and enlightened: "It's not necessarily the kind of love between a man and a woman, it's just a connection like a family member, an admiration like a friend, 'Love' for an independent individual life, this person is different to you, can cause waves in your heart, and can make you feel that he is a very good person. Have you experienced this when communicating with others? Is there such a feeling? If so, it is called 'appreciation' and 'love'."
"Love." Lin Guang said this term with a blank look in his eyes.
He thought of everyone looking at him with such hateful eyes. The thought of walking with inanimate robots always made his heart feel as cold as stagnant water.
He seemed to have forgotten a lot of things and lost a lot of things. He is now very strong, strong enough to dominate a world, but he feels like he has caught nothing and left nothing behind.
——He suddenly thought of the night when he played the flute while walking with Lewis. It was a kind of heartfelt relaxation, as if all the worrying things, such as "gods" and "the future of mankind" had disappeared with the wind. . There were only shadows under the moonlight, and the long trailing shadows were enough to calm his mind.
——Then he remembered the way Luvis looked at him.
In addition to Luvis, there are... when he touches the green seedlings growing in the ruins, when he sees the first ray of sunshine in the morning, when he hears the cry of new life and gets a new flute score , he can feel similar emotions.
"Yes." Violet taught: "Can you sum up 'love' in one word now? Beautiful, happy, warm, soft, or... something?"
At this moment, Lin Guang suddenly felt the "emotion" mentioned by Violet.
"Violet, what is love?" Lin Guang asked.
Violet is persuasive: “It’s like facing parents and friends, facing people like Lewis, and facing the prosperous things in the world.
——[When you live in this world, what you feel every moment is love. ]"
Lin Guang's eyes were slightly startled.
At this moment, light seemed to fall from his pupils.
…
"This way...it turns out that love is despair." He said.
…
…
He seems to have forgotten many things.
I only vaguely remember... Akto seemed to have said something to him thirty years ago, and he remembered that sentence for a long time.
He narrowed his eyes - what was that sentence?
Like...
