Chapter 1259: Darkest Hour (Finale)

Last day.

178 Fortress Inside.

All the residents were standing by the radio, wanting to hear what was going on.

If there is no radio at home, the whole family gathers together to the neighbor's house, and everyone waits with bated breath for a news that will be broadcast from time to time.

The male announcer's voice is good, but the news on the radio always comes with bad news.

The troops of the Northwest Army were killed in battle, and sometimes everyone fell into infinite silence when they listened to it, and sometimes they heard a certain news that which unit had died en masse, and an earth-shattering wail sounded next to the radio.

Because their families may be among the fallen troops.

The streets of Fortress 178 were silent.

After an autumn rain, the weather gradually became a little colder, and everyone couldn't help but shrink their necks when walking on the road.

Qing Zhen glanced at his watch at his residence, and there were only 12 hours left before the countdown.

He put on his white suit, and then said to Luo Lan, Zhou Qi, and Xu Pu: "Let's go, it's time for us to do something, don't live up to the hopes of the Northwest Army." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the residence, where there were already vehicles of the Northwest Army waiting at the door.

After the four of them got into the car, the car drove straight to a quarry west of the fortress.

I don't know when this quarry has been under martial law, and it is surrounded by soldiers wearing quarry uniforms, quietly vigilant.

Xu Xianchu waited outside the quarry gate, and after he received Qing Jin, he turned around without saying a word and led everyone inside.

In the factory, a woman in a red dress was waiting there early, she was the person who negotiated with Zhang Jinglin on behalf of Qingzhen, and she was also the executor of the entire plan.

At this time, there was no machinery and equipment used to blow up the quarrying in the quarry, although it looked simple on the outside, but it was extremely technological inside.

When you enter the factory, you need to change into a white dust-free suit, and inside are a large number of precision instruments, as well as 1,374 scientific researchers who are busy.

Qing Zhen wore a dustproof suit and asked the woman in the red dress next to him: "Everything is ready?"

The woman in the red dress nodded: "Everything is ready." ”

Xu Xianchu asked Qingzhen: "You said that there was a possibility of a missile attack here, so I came to guard this place, but I saw that there was no missile attack." ”

Qing Zhen shook his head and said with some puzzlement: "If you calculate the range of the Wang Missile Force, this place should already be within the range, and the artificial intelligence should be able to analyze the abnormality here, there is no reason not to bomb here." I'm not sure exactly what happened, but someone must have made an effort to help us. ”

On the side, Luo Lan thought for a while and said, "Can our plan really come true?"

"Whether it succeeds or not, it depends on whether Ren Xiaosu's side can survive these 12 hours," Qing Zhen said: "If you can't hold on, then all the previous efforts will be in vain." ”

"Do you think he will be able to survive until then?" Zhou Qi asked.

Luo Lan shook his head: "I'm not sure, but he has never let me down." ”

For this day, the southwest also paid a huge price.

Someone died in battle on the Sanshan defensive line, such as Qingyi.

Someone died trying to deliver a message, such as Tang Zhou.

But there are still too many unknown pawns who die for the same goal and the same hope.

They once accompanied Qing Zhen to climb Ginkgo Mountain, and saw the ginkgo trees on the mountainside dyed, and they died for the glory of Qing's family.

Outside of the war, there are 1,374 scientific researchers of the Qing clan working in an absolutely confidential state, and no one knows what they are working on, not even their families.

Qing Jin felt that if the plan failed, then no one really knew about the efforts that these people had put in.

So they can't fail.

......

on the evacuation path.

"The Southwest Force of the Artificial Intelligence didn't stop us," P5092 was a little puzzled, according to his time calculation, in fact, they should have almost encountered the enemy forces in the way at this time.

However, at this moment, there was still no one in front of them, not even a single figure.

Someone must have stopped the enemy army in the south, but P5092 couldn't figure it out, who had the ability to block the nearly 10 million troops of artificial intelligence?

At this time, it was Ren Xiaosu who suddenly reacted: "If someone really blocks Zero's two southwest troops, then excluding all the impossible help, the only thing left is Li Shentan." ”

What Ren Xiaosu did was the method of elimination, because it was possible that the people in the northwest would appear at this time and help them, and only Li Shentan was left.

When all impossibilities are ruled out, then the only option left is the truth.

I said nonsense before that Li Shentan was going to do what he promised Ren Xiaosu.

What did Li Shentan promise? Li Shentan promised Ren Xiaosu that he would exchange the demon's salvation for Chen Wudi's return.

Therefore, Ren Xiaosu suddenly had a realization in his heart that his apprentice Chen Wudi might have returned!

When he thought of this, he felt a little excited in his heart, but in an instant, Ren Xiaosu's mood was gloomy again, because he knew very well what the demon's redemption meant.

When talking about Li Shentan before, there was a little loneliness in his expression, and he knew the answer very well when he thought about it.

"Another friend left," Ren Xiaosu said suddenly.

At this time, a soldier in front suddenly shouted: "It's time to 178 Fortress!"

Ren Xiaosu looked back and looked ahead, and saw the shadow of the majestic fortress in the distance, so familiar and so kind.

The wide walls resemble the solid back of a giant, making people feel safe when they look at it from a distance.

Although everyone knows that now it is only a sight of the fortress, if you continue to retreat, it will take at least six hours to get there.

Because Fortress 178 is so tall and tall, there is still a long way to go between them when its silhouette comes into view.

Either way, seeing Fortress 178 means seeing hope.

But before the soldiers had time to rejoice, news suddenly came from the rear troops that the enemy's mechanized units had appeared on the horizon, and the enemy's infantry and land units were probably about to catch up soon.

When this news was delivered, Ren Xiaosu looked around and suddenly found that there was a little despair in the eyes of many people.

Obviously, it only needs to be delayed for nine days, but this last day looks like it is going to fail.

Everyone knew that it was impossible for them to hold off the enemy in this kind of plain terrain, because there were so many of them.

With only one day, or even half a day, they might be able to win.

Although everyone doesn't know what kind of plan Qing Zhen and Commander Zhang have, since Commander Zhang said that he believes Qing Jin, it means that this plan is feasible.

However, it seems that everyone can't wait for that moment anymore.

Ren Xiaosu stood silently in the crowd, watching the hope in everyone's hearts gradually fade, and suddenly wanted to do something.

This war was fought so fiercely.

On the Sanshan defense line, the Qing troops were killed in the whole system, but the Qing soldiers were thinking about how to pull a few more enemies on their backs before they died, and they won the most critical data and time for the northwest dawn defense line.

The fighters of the 6th Field Division were stationed in the rear of the enemy in order to buy two more days for the Dawn Line.

The officers and men of the first and second echelons of the Dawn defense line died one after another, and even if they were wounded, they were unwilling to retreat with the First Army.

Everyone is just hoping for a glimmer of hope for the final victory, but this hope is also gone.

He had to do something.

He had to do something.

He wants to defend this hard-won hope.

P5092 said: "Wang Yun, help me convey the order, the First Army will all stop advancing, find cover on the spot and prepare for battle!" Commander Zhang, Ren Xiaosu, you continue to advance with the wounded, and I will stay and lead them to fight a blocking battle!"

"If you stay and fight, you'll die," Wang Yun said seriously.

P5092 smiled, "So what?"

"No need," Yan Liuyuan, who was sitting on the back of the wolf king, jumped down and said with a smile: "You continue to retreat, and I will take care of the rest." ”

Everyone was stunned, everyone didn't expect Yan Liuyuan to suddenly say this.

Yan Liuyuan said with a smile: "Why, don't you believe me, I'm also a demigod-level transcendent." ”

Sister Xiaoyu on the side nervously grabbed Yan Liuyuan's arm: "Liuyuan, you can't use your ability anymore, you really can't use it anymore, otherwise you will die." ”

Yan Liuyuan looked at Sister Xiaoyu silently, only sighed, what he couldn't let go of was Sister Xiaoyu, in his heart, Li Xiaoyu had long been his own sister.

As a result, at this moment, the wolf king suddenly raised his head to the sky and roared.

The next moment, the wolf king turned and headed towards the enemy, and the wolves slowly followed behind him.

Yan Liuyuan shouted twice, but the wolf king never looked back.

I saw the silver wolves running, running faster and faster, their fur moving in the wind, looking extremely bright.

P5092 said calmly: "Continue to evacuate, don't stay!"

Suddenly, Ren Xiaosu summoned a steam train and drove to Fortress 178 alone at full speed.

The soldiers of the first group were stunned, what was the situation, how could the young marshal leave alone when he heard that there was an enemy situation in the rear? Was he running away or something else?

I saw the steam train whistling away in the wilderness with a great wind.

No one knows what Ren Xiaosu is going to do.

Wang Fengyuan looked at the departing steam train, and he looked at Zhang Jinglin in surprise: "Commander, this ......"

Zhang Jinglin shook his head: "I don't know what he's going to do." ”

On the way to continue the retreat, there was a lot of discussion in the First Army, and everyone was speculating about why the young marshal left alone.

Some people speculate that the young marshal has other plans, but there are no reinforcements on the side of the 178 fortress, so what can the young marshal do even if he rushes to the 178 fortress.

The steam train was getting closer and closer to Fortress 178 while it was running at full speed, and when the soldiers on the wall of Fortress 178 saw the train, they hurriedly shouted: "It's the young marshal, hurry up and open the city gate!"

The gate slowly opened, but Ren Xiaosu's steam train did not stop, and shuttled directly from the city gate to Tongzhong Square.

It just so happened that the time was 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and the bronze bell on the copper bell square was struck three times, and the bell sounded melodious.

The inhabitants of Fortress 178 took the initiative to get out of the way when they saw the steam train, and they saw the young marshal sitting alone on the front of the train, with a grim face and did not say a word.

"It's the young marshal, why did you suddenly come back by yourself?"

"The direction of this steam train is Bronze Bell Square, what is the young marshal doing in Bronze Bell Square?"

But seeing the steam train stop abruptly in front of the Bronze Bell Square, more and more residents who did not know the truth chased after them under curiosity, and more and more people gathered outside the Bronze Bell Square.

Ren Xiaosu looked at the bronze bell and said, "Before you asked me how old I was, I said more than two hundred years old. Actually, I'm not kidding, you may not believe it, but I'm really over 200 years old this year. ”

"I am Subject 001, I was asleep more than 200 years ago due to cancer and genetic mutations, and my father was Ren He, the founder of Knights. So, I'm a little older than all of you. ”

"I have seen the most glorious era of human civilization, when almost everyone had something to eat, and the people of Kyushu lived and worked in peace and contentment, enjoying a new era. ”

"At that time, the Internet was developed, the technology was developed, and everything seemed to be better than it is now. ”

"In today's era, many people can't even eat a full meal, the TV does not have an LCD, and most people's entertainment life is to listen to the radio with a radio. The lives of the so-called rich people are not worth mentioning in my opinion, and no one has ever traveled farther, and at that time, it was only a little more than ten hours to go from one end of the world to the other. ”

"I once said not to let the sorrow of the times become your sorrow, that is because I think this era has completely decayed. ”

However, when I saw that everyone was dying one after another for that glimmer of hope, I suddenly realized that this era is not so bad. In the absolute darkness, there is really a new light. ”

"I don't have any big ambitions, I always felt that it would be good to have a small family, I don't want to be the young marshal of the Northwest Army, and I don't want to be the commander of the Northwest Army in the future. I always feel that someone like me is the material to be a commander. ”

"But if someone is going to take away that last glimmer of hope now, then I want to ask...... The more than 200,000 human pioneers under this bronze bell are willing to become heroic spirits and kill them with me. ”

"Although it is a little unfair to you to become a Heroic Spirit, after all, you have already given so much for the Northwest, and now you have to become a vassal of someone else's ability. Moreover, once you become a heroic spirit, you have the possibility of dying again, and then it will be eternal silence, and you can't even read the newspaper. ”

According to Luo Lan, Heroic Spirits are not immortal, and once they suffer more damage than they can bear, they will still dissipate.

This is also the reason why Ren Xiaosu and Luo Lan have always been very restrained in this ability.

However, Ren Xiaosu continued: "However, I really want artificial intelligence to see what is the pride of human beings. ”

Ren Xiaosu stood alone on the Bronze Bell Square and waited silently, waiting for a response from 270,000.

At this time, the residents outside the Bronze Bell Square also looked at Ren Xiaosu in surprise.

They didn't know what was going on, they only knew that after the young marshal entered the 178 fortress, he suddenly ran to the Bronze Bell Square and said a lot of things inexplicably.

Far away, they didn't even know what Ren Xiaosu said.

The residents of Fortress 178 don't know what Ren Xiaosu is doing.

However, in the next moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the center of the Bronze Bell Square: "We are willing to go." ”

"It is incumbent upon us to do so. ”

"We've been waiting for this moment for a long time. ”

This is no longer a voice that only Ren Xiaosu can hear, but everyone can hear it.

A golden figure walked out of the center, it was Commander Li, the most prestigious of the 270,000 Heroic Souls.

Then the second, the third, the thousandth, the thousandth, the hundredth thousandth, the hundredth thousand......

Ren Xiaosu originally thought that being able to summon 10,000 Heroic Spirits was the limit, but he didn't expect that his limit was that there was no limit.

More and more golden heroes walked out of the Bronze Bell Square, like a golden sea.

Gradually, the Bronze Bell Square could not be accommodated at all, and a large number of heroic spirits crowded the residents into the next street.

The inhabitants had no idea what was going on or where these golden figures came from.

At this time, suddenly a young face of the Heroic Spirit said to a woman about thirty years old, "Nan Nan ......"

The woman stared blankly at the young soldier in front of her, who looked particularly handsome in the standard military uniform of the Northwest Army, and she had seen this heroic father in photos more than once.

Seventeen years ago, when she was about to go to school, her father stuffed her with a candy and told her to go away.

As a result, the other party has been gone for 17 years and has never returned.

When she was young, she hated each other, but when she grew up, she didn't hate each other, because her lover was also a Northwest soldier.

Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar face in front of her, the woman burst into tears, she finally knew what was happening at this moment.

On the other side, a middle-aged man in his forties looked at a young heroic spirit in front of him and asked with some doubts, "Fang Yuan?"

The Ying Ling named Fang Yuan suddenly turned his head to look at him, and after half a minute, he asked a question, "Lin Ke?"

Lin Ke, who was in his forties, suddenly burst into tears: "You have come back to life, I have been dreaming every day for the past seventeen years, dreaming that I was not transferred out of the post on the day the war began, dreaming that I would die in battle with you!"

Fang Yuan grinned and said, "Then you are miserable enough." ”

Gradually, everyone understood.

The young marshal in the center of the Bronze Bell Square is resurrecting all the past martyrs of the Northwest Army!

"The pioneers and martyrs of the Northwest Army have all been resurrected. ”

"Martyrs, follow the young marshal to save the 178 fortress!"

A huge cheer erupted outside the Bronze Bell Square, and almost everyone in the cheers had only one expression, and tears of excitement filled their eyes.

Those martyrs who shed their blood for the northwest have come to life.

Ren Xiaosu felt as if the blood in his body was burning again and began to boil.

He turned and walked towards the outside of Fortress 178, all the golden Heroic Spirits following him.

A heroic spirit shouted to the residents in the back: "Do you know Liu Xu of Wei Zilu, tell him that he has come back to life and is about to go into battle to kill the enemy." ”

and Ying Ling muttered: "I thought this kid was easy to handle, but it turned out to be an old monster over two hundred years old, this is especially an ancestor!"

"Then we are now heroic spirits, and when the battle is over, can we beat him......?

"Yes, don't forget that!"

Ren Xiaosu didn't listen to what the Ying Ling behind him said, his pace became faster and faster, until he started running.

The golden torrent followed behind him, all the way out of the city, facing the direction of the enemy, and launched a charge from afar.

This is the first time Ren Xiaosu has used the ability of the Valhalla, and the first time he has his own Heroic Spirit, although Luo Lan's Heroic Spirit has increased his physical fitness to a certain extent, but in fact, the increase is also very limited, only about 1.5 times the original, after all, Luo Lan's own strength is really not very good.

But Ren Xiaosu is different, he is much stronger than Luo Lan.

The Heroic Spirits felt their new bodies, and they only felt that they were filled with power, a powerful experience they had never experienced before, and almost all of them had tripled in strength.

This is a T3 unit with a number of 270,000, and all of them are the most brave and skilled fighters in the history of the Northwest Army.

Ren Xiaosu ran wildly at the front of the golden torrent, looking down from the sky, the golden torrent behind him was so magnificent and magnificent.

With a murderous look on one's face.
