326. The people who remained
Sventins, Colorado.
On the same day that Gao Shuai left Blue Star, the country announced the convening of an extraordinary NATO summit in the second largest city in Colorado. On the surface, the meeting was an invitation to NATO members to discuss the threat from observers, but those in the know knew that this was far from the case.
Lieutenant Colonel Edward was obviously one of those in the know, and those who knew also included the other two supernatural power owners who were by his side at the moment, Doggett and Menel from the Kingdom of Chen.
In the eyes of most military enthusiasts, the city of Svrins' fame comes from NORAD, the seat of the North American Air Defense Command. The headquarters, located in the Cheyenne Mountains, was established during the Cold War to monitor air and space threats from adversaries. It is also the largest sanctuary in Quanjin, built over the years to provide perfect doomsday shelter for more than 6,000 people, and hundreds of meters of granite provide a sense of physical and psychological security for evacuees.
The powerful ability to monitor the air and space and the ability to protect against doomsday disasters make the Cheyenne Mountain Military Base stand out among the various military bases and shelters in the country, and become the most suitable shelter for the current situation where the threat to observers is extremely imminent.
Therefore, the meaning of this temporary NATO summit is self-evident.
The main purpose of this extraordinary summit is to provide possible doomsday protection for the heads of the participating member states and the elites of various industries.
"But why not convene a conference in the name of the United Nations?" Menell was too young to understand the need to protect a handful of human elites in the apocalypse, but she couldn't understand why the protection was only for Western allies from the Nation of Jin, which was in serious conflict with the values she had acquired since childhood.
"The refuge facilities of nuclear powers like Oros and Shen are no worse than those of Jin. Doggett explained.
"What about the other countries?" In Menel's worldview, shouldn't the Western countries lend a helping hand to the weak in the midst of an imminent human catastrophe of such a gigantic scale? Perhaps, as Doggett said, the big countries don't need the help of the country, but what about the small or poor countries? If they have no ability to protect themselves, can't they even save a seed for the future?
Doggett was a little speechless, he could certainly answer the question, but he couldn't bear to destroy the good value in Menel's heart, although it seemed too naïve and naïve.
"Let's hope the commander can defeat the observers and save us. Menel prayed sincerely, although the threat of the observer weighed on people's hearts like a mountain, but Gao Shuai's victories again and again also left a trace of expectation in the heart of the little girl of the country.
Menel's prayer attracted Edward's gaze, but he didn't say anything, maybe he was hostile to Gao Shuai before, or there was a sense of competition in his heart that even he couldn't detect, but now, although Edward didn't say it, he admitted in his heart that he had been left behind by Gao Shuai.
Compared to the high-ranking commanders who led the owners of supernatural powers to fight the enemy head-on, he no longer had the slightest pride to stay in the country to protect the safety of the political elites.
Edward couldn't help but look up, his gaze seemed to penetrate the sky, to see the battle that would determine the fate of mankind, but unfortunately, he was destined to be a spectator regardless of whether he won or lost.
At this moment, on the other side of the blue star, there was another person looking up at the sky.
Chen Ao was wearing a dress, and he was preparing for a wedding behind him, the hero of the wedding was him, and the heroine of the wedding was Chen Jiadong's secretary and Chen Ao's childhood sweetheart's playmate, Jia Wenjing.
Because of the threat from observers, although governments are trying their best to suppress the news and avoid greater panic, whether it is the battle of the button or the subsequent big move of Gao Shuai to collect the world's nuclear weapons, the uneasiness has spread, and even the most stable Shen Guo has a vague atmosphere of restlessness, so this wedding is simple, only a limited number of relatives and friends on both sides are invited, and the venue is also placed on the top floor of the group building.
"Wen Jing is a very good child, but she has always stayed by my side to help me for you, and she has been much more useful to me and the company than you over the years. Chen Jiadong stood by Chen Ao's side, leaving no affection for his son.
"It's me who owes Wen Jing. Chen Ao smiled bitterly, he was also a very good person, but his energy was more focused on how to enjoy life, until the supernatural power came and met Licht.
While talking to his father, Chen Ao's gaze did not withdraw from the sky, and he still looked upward.
"Still regretting?" Chen Jiadong could see that his son's heart was not at the wedding at the moment. His son has been in a bad mental state since he came back, and the reason is not difficult to guess, after all, Chen Ao's behavior is to escape, he has the right to choose to leave the heavenly court, but he must also bear the psychological burden and pressure brought by this choice.
"I do regret it, I really want to fight with the observer as a man like Gao Shuai, even if I lose, I am a hero. But whenever I finished thinking about it, there was always a rational voice in my heart telling me that it was futile, that the strength of the observer was not something we could overcome at all, and that instead of doing a useless struggle, it was better to return here before that and accompany my father and mother through the last part of my life. Chen Ao retracted his gaze and said seriously.
"As a father's expectation for his son, I want you to be a hero and save the world with Gao Shuai, but as a father's selfishness, I want you to be by my side at this moment. "Whether judging from his own son or other information, Gao Shuai's success in this battle is too low, rather than participating in a battle with no chance of winning, it is better to be by his side at this last moment. This may be as Chen Jiadong said, the selfishness of an old father.
"When I rejected Gao Shuai, he also told me the same, he said that it is okay to go back, let me accompany you more, and he also said that you are older than before. Chen Ao recalled.
"Gao Shuai is a very interesting young man, but I didn't expect him to become such a great hero anyway. Chen Jiadong's eyes appeared in front of his eyes with the only two meetings with Gao Shuai, and he couldn't help but sigh.
At this moment, Jia Wenjing, who was wearing a simple wedding dress, walked over.
"Wen Jing, what kind of person is Gao Shuai in your eyes?" Chen Ao turned his head and asked.
Jia Wenjing was stunned: "Gao Shuai? I don't know." The changes before and after him are like dreams. ”
"It's not that the two of them are judged, Xiao Gao has never changed, he has always had a seed called a hero in his heart, but he didn't find the right soil before the divine power came. "Ninety-nine Bureau, the old director also looked at the sky, and Zhu Changyou and others gathered around him.
"Director, do you think we can win the outcome of this battle?" asked Zhu Changyou.
"I believe that Xiao Gao will live up to our expectations. The old director's eyes were full of trust in Gao Shuai.
At this moment, Heavenly Court, the belief of all the possessors of supernatural powers was also infused into Gao Shuai's body, and they even gave their lives to Gao Shuai, and he launched the final blow against the observer!
The face of the observer who had just stepped out of the diamond bracelet froze, and his intuition warned him loudly that perhaps in the next moment, an incomparably great danger would befall him, and that would endanger his life!
A light second away, the heavenly court flickered weakly, but huge spots of light lit up on both sides of the shield at the same time, which was a sign of energy gathering.
The observer's heart was shocked, and he finally let go of all his pride, no longer holding back, and resorted to the last resort.
The supernatural module on Gao Shuai's forehead, which was running at full speed, suddenly stopped, and then he was surprised to find that he had established a spiritual connection with the observer.
