Chapter 96: last step

The new election ceremony is about to end, and the lively atmosphere at the beginning is gone. +++ The latest ranking of Tanmei novels: EbookFREE.me The first thing that happened was the celebration square outside the city. Residents of city Y only heard that the ceremony was interrupted by accident. Not many people really took it seriously. But when the residents of city y themselves become targets of attacks, no one has the intention to engage in elections—they only hope that the coalition government will act quickly to solve the imminent city closure problem.
It can be tolerated for three or four days, take less baths and take some nutrients. Most of the belongings of the residents outside the city are still in their houses, and there is continuous artillery fire around the city, and the tremor of the explosion can even spread to the city. People are getting more and more irritable, and the protest team looms.
Some people are dissatisfied with the current quality of life, some are worried about the upcoming wave of unemployment, and many people even try to sneak out to rescue their property in the empty outer city.
In this anxious atmosphere, the two candidates stopped attending any talk shows. The light screen of the square began to play some soothing music or songs, and the bright colors did not fit in with the mess.
The garbage disposal system has to deal with four or five times more garbage than usual, and the entire cleaning chain is on the verge of collapse. Public living facilities were overwhelmed, many fire-fighting facilities were opened to the public, and a group of people circled the fire hydrant to wash and wash laundry. The central square was full of people, several old people fell down because of the getting colder weather, and the children got sick from the smelly garbage. After just a few days, the energetic crowd quickly fell silent.
"It's a good thing that you weren't elected." Yining's young assistant said, "I saw this kind of scene for the first time...If you want to take up this mess, you will be hated if you don't do it well."
Yining stood at the top of the command center, looked at the chaotic square, and said nothing.
"Zhu Sheng wants this position, so let him take it." Seeing Yi Ning's silence, the assistant continued to mutter. "These salty things they did will be exposed sooner or later. Yi Shuai, I think this mess is God's will."
"do not talk."
"At least the fellow villagers in our settlements must know the truth."
"This is not the time to talk about this topic!" Yi Ning's heart became angry, and finally managed to control his tone. "It's not the time to care about who has gained fame, understand? I took you out of the colony because I wanted you to slowly guide the children out of the colony, not..."
He exhaled heavily.
"Forget it, Zhu Sheng will probably be able to rescue five to sixty thousand people back. He also promised to leave a team outside the city to organize the remaining residents of the settlement. My initial thoughts now seem like a child's play. I ..."
On weekdays, the residents of city y are of extremely high quality. After a few days of hard work, these "decent people" have also become manic. Yining had to admit that he completely underestimated the destructive power of war on ordinary people. The current riots are far from being resolved by a few beautiful words.
The fact is obvious that Zhu Sheng is solving the problem, but he can't.
What comforts people, what considerate policies. Once the basic needs are met, 10,000 words of concern are no better than an exact solution.
In order for some people in the settlements to survive, he agreed to help Zhu Sheng sacrifice others. Zhu Sheng is for the residents of City Y, intending to sacrifice all the settlements-is the difference between them really big? What position does he have to blame Zhu Sheng?
After changing himself to manage the player system, can he really figure out a better way to deal with it? The lives of countless compatriots depend on the system to continue. Does he really have the courage to terminate the system and explore from scratch?
Yi Ning looked bitter.
The assistant was silent for a while: "You were just fooled by Zhu Sheng. He deliberately asked you to choose this way to make you doubt yourself. Sir, if you really doubt yourself, then you will really be defeated by him!"
"You don't understand." Yi Ning murmured, without looking at his assistant. "Since I took Luo Duan in, I didn't seem to have done anything useful."
"We are still one step away, Luo Duan also said, as long as you grasp Zhu Sheng's weakness! Sir, you were so firm before, how come you have become such a ghost now?!"
The assistant looked at Yining, his eyes a little red for a moment. He calmed his breath for a while, saluted, and left the room.
Yi Ning still didn't look back, he just looked out the window and said nothing.
"A human team has left city y." Outside the city, Chai Xuyang reported.
"We emptied the east of the city just to let them out." Hu Yan was not surprised.
"what?!"
"Why do you think the fire is weak and there is no one there? Zhu, ah, our sister-in-law told me before. Leave the place in the east of the city. If there is a team leaving, just pretend not to see it."
"Sister-in-law?" Zhu Yanchen never showed his face in front of a synthetic person other than Hu Yan. Chai Xuyang didn't think about the "male human collaborator" at all. At this moment, he was suspicious, "I said, Shu Jun is not married yet."
"Don't take care of our captain's housework!" Hu Yan raised his voice, "Anyway, if Zhu Sheng wants to incorporate Yining, he must use the rescue settlement as a bargaining chip. That team will bring many hostages back, so let's wait and see. That's it."
"Isn't that large number of hostages in Y city enough?"
"The group of people are all in the city center and we won't be able to reach them for a while. If there is no'massive human casualties', how can we trick the sigma out?"
"...How much did you discuss without me?"
"What's the hurry? I don't know many things earlier than you." Hu Yan looked at the cracked protective wall, "Now the communication is all cut off, and the team is also guessing the opposite direction."
"Is it really okay to go on like this?"
"I don't know." Hu Yan moved his fingers and some small rocks bounced on the ground. "But to be honest, I just want to end it soon."
"Well, I understand. Wait, wait, there's another communication on my side...what, the swamp is close?!"
The center of their topic-Shu Jun slammed into the city wall again with fierce gunfire. The corrosive monster he manipulates is extremely large, and his two broken claws have already clawed on the wall, and there is a tendency to cross the protective wall.
Another salvo of purification projectiles turned half of the monster's head into dust. Then the corroded matter gathered into black smoke at the wound, and the black vines twisted like a living thing, and the wolf-headed skull quickly returned to its original shape.
The monster let out another deafening roar, and the whole protective wall vibrated.
"How to deal with that thing?!" The captain of the second team garrisoned here almost collapsed. "Sir, our artillery fire is limited, so we can't waste it like that. And just received the news that there is another large swamp to the west! This battle is impossible! Fight, we really can't fight without a synthetic person..."
Zhu Yanchen didn't say a word, and directly took out his gun and withstood the forehead of the captain of the second team. The latter immediately stood up straight, with panic in his flushed eyes.
"Calm down?"
"Cold and calm."
"Synthetic team is also concentrated in the west of the city, just right. Retreat from the front and let the synthesizer advance a few steps to lure the swamp after the erosion is broken - the swamp will not pick the enemy, as long as it is used well, it will become a help."
Zhu Yanchen took back the gun quickly: "After confirming the situation, you withdraw to the vicinity of the city center. Remember, make sure to leave a safe area in the east of the city to meet the coming settlements."
"That monster—"
"He is sane, and has always maintained his companions, and will not leave a nearby swamp."
"...Sir, did you already know that the swamp will come? The command center hasn't figured out the rules—"
"Now is not the time for a science lecture, to lead the team."
"Yes!"
If it hadn't found any abnormal communication, the captain of the second team would have doubted that Marshal Zhu and the monster had a clear heart-as soon as he had arranged this, the monster disappeared from the city, and the huge shadow passed through the gunpowder and moved quickly toward the west of the city.
The first and third teams in Chengxi faced an alien of this size for the first time, and they were shocked. Another burst of purification ammunition was shot out without money, and the monster became a sieve.
The captain of the second team who rushed to the scene held his breath.
Perhaps it was the sudden increase in firepower, the first time he saw that monster was so badly injured. This time its recovery speed was obviously slower, so that the "internal organs" in the chest cavity were exposed.
Among the pitch-black and twisted vines, a figure stands out. The captain of the second team immediately picked up the binoculars and observed carefully--
The man's upper body was half-hung outside the monster's chest, and his lower body was buried in the creeping corrosive mass, only his smooth knees and part of his thighs were exposed. His naked upper body is covered with corroded filaments, as if tattooed with totems all over his body, with an uncomfortable weird beauty.
As if perceiving the human side's observation, the man raised his head.
Ash-like gray hair, and eyes of the same color. The constricted vertical pupil is like a beast, making people stand upside down. That face is quite handsome, and it is also very familiar
The captain of the second team gasped abruptly.
"Isn't that Shu Jun?" He shouted to his comrades beside him, "The Blackbirds of the synthetic man game, their captain! Isn't he dead? We watched him fall!"
As if unwilling to be onlookers, countless eroding fine vines shot down. They almost poked the soldiers on the outermost layer, sizzling under the action of the purifier.
"That's their leader!" the captain of the second team called out immediately, "absolutely!"
Before this sentence was finished, the dark vines entangled again, wrapping the figure into the chest of the monster. And behind the monster, the horizon slowly turned into pure black—another large swamp hit the gap in the protective wall.
The huge sacrifice is in sight.
The human captains gritted their teeth and quickly changed their formation according to Zhu Yanchen's orders. The Synthetic people seemed to be frightened by the approaching swamp, their offensive immediately rose, and the crack in the protective wall was torn a few meters apart.
The monster squeezed in first. It rushed into the neatly arranged array, rushing to disperse the formation on the human side. Countless synthetic people rushed in immediately, apparently avoiding the swamp behind.
"Sure enough, as Marshal Zhu ordered, they all withdrew to the city center-Synthesizers won't repair the protective wall, let them stop the swamp!"
The human army retreated immediately, and within a few hours, the west of city y was occupied by synthetics. But the human army firmly guarded the city center and the east of the city, and the front line was strong and beautiful. The Synthetic Army gained a larger position, but was sandwiched between the Human Army and the Swamp.
Chaos is approaching, and everyone has a more or less solemn expression on their faces. In the entire city y, only one person smiled.
"Hooked. Shu Jun, well done."
Zhu Yanchen looked at the image of the large swamp and curled his mouth.
"...Now it's my turn to shoot."
