444 I really envy you
In a certain combat command room in Canglong City, the outline of Obsidian City appeared on the display screen, and the entire city flashed with red light points.
This is the sign of the demon beast, and the dense red dots occupy almost half of the city, and spread to the other side, at a very fast speed.
On the other side, the screen captures real-time surveillance footage through satellites, and you can clearly see the collapse of high-rise buildings from above.
However, the people in the command room quickly turned the screen off, and the picture turned into a snowflake, and the next moment it became completely dark.
"If the current situation continues, before dawn, the entire Obsidian City will be in ruins, do we really have to turn a blind eye and do nothing? That's more than 100,000 people, and I'm afraid there are very few people who can escape from the attack of demon beasts. ”
A young officer objected to this, he clenched his fists, and his whole body trembled, no matter who faced such a situation, he would not be calm.
Even ordinary citizens would be like this, let alone those who knew the inside story, which made him feel a deep sense of guilt.
"This is a decision made by the higher-ups, in order to cover up what they have done, it must be like this, after dawn, the entire Obsidian City has been destroyed, and it is announced to the public that this place has been destroyed by the Demon Beast Legion, in fact, it is true, there will be no Obsidian City on the territory in the future. ”
An older officer shook his head slightly, he was no stranger to this kind of thing, after all, he had been in the military for more than twenty years.
During this period, he didn't know how many secrets he had come into contact with, and he had already figured out the style of those people, and he also knew his position in this matter.
"Is it possible to put the lives of hundreds of thousands of people at risk, or even to the brink of destruction, just to cover up the eyes and ears of the people?
The young officer was indignant, and his reaction was very strong from the moment he learned about it, after all, he was still very young.
When he was first promoted to this position, he was full of longing, always put people's interests first, and began to struggle.
However, after coming to this position, he found that the situation seemed to be a little different from what he imagined, and his blood gradually became cool.
The colleagues who came with him began to get familiar with the style here, and began to adapt, and they adapted to the rules of the game, and their career was unimpeded, but he always insisted on some ethereal and unrealistic things, and his comrades-in-arms in the same period advised him to be more aware of current affairs more than once.
He was puzzled by this, and it was this brainless that made him the best achiever not rise as quickly as his friends.
He looked at the flashing red points of light on the screen in a daze, and he knew very well that each flickering point of light meant the sacrifice of a large number of citizens.
"The world is complicated, more complicated than you can imagine, those things are not for you and me to intervene in, in this position, don't be too curious, don't have too many secrets, just follow the step-by-step execution, we are not so great, we can't save everything. ”
"The only thing that can be done is to carry out the orders made by the top, we are the executors, not the decision-makers, no matter what kind of sin we bear, we have to do it, after all, even if we don't do it, others will carry out the orders, you are still very young, don't let stubbornness affect your career. ”
The old officer advised him that he was very optimistic about this young man, and that he had also thought of cultivating him vigorously.
"Even if we don't do it, others will do it? Is this why we turn a blind eye to bad decisions? If we carry out such orders, we will only become accomplices and executioners, which is contrary to the original purpose of my choice to be here, which is not what I wanted!"
The young man was so indignant that he grabbed the epaulette on his shoulder and tried to tear it off, but hesitated for a moment and did not act.
This was a difficult choice for him, and at this time he was confused, confused, and extremely painful inside.
"It's not a world where we can do whatever we want, let go of those meaningless and childish ideas, William, you are a promising young man, not just because of your father, but because you alone have extraordinary abilities, if you really want to change all this. ”
"Then work hard to be promoted, no longer be a person who needs to carry out orders, but be a person who can make decisions, only then can you make changes, but until then, if you want to make decisions, you have to climb high enough, you have to do those things that you are not willing to do. ”
"Each of us has our own aspirations, we have our own desires, but in this chaotic world, there are too many obstacles to our demands, we have too many bodies that can't help ourselves, don't let your stubbornness hurt you, try to be the one who can make decisions. ”
The middle-aged officer looked at the young man with a complicated expression and patted him on the back as an encouragement, even though he was the son of an old friend.
There is a little bit of affection in it, but just looking at his personal ability, he is still a very exciting new star in the military world.
"If you want to make a decision, you can only implement it...... Xiaofei, I really envy you who are free. ”
William Li shook his head bitterly, he finally dropped his hand that was about to tear off the epaulettes, and slowly turned around and left the war room.
The middle-aged officer sighed and continued to return to his work, which would be a sleepless night.
At the same time, thousands of miles away in the center of Obsidian City, under the onslaught of the Demon Beast Legion, the Obsidian Building, which is a landmark building in the city, was finally overwhelmed, and broke off from half of the place, and thousands of tons of light steel materials fell from a height of hundreds of meters.
The nearby low-rise buildings were smashed to pieces in an instant, the ground shook, the air was covered with dust, and even some monsters didn't have time to dodge, and were directly smashed into a puddle of flesh by this urban monster built of reinforced concrete!
After all, even a monster beast with a defense of steel could not withstand this level of weight, and the collapse continued.
In the face of such devastating destruction, not a single person could survive, and the moon was pale and bleak.
It was silently projected, witnessing the despair as a spectator.
The hands that were still walking on the ruins turned to 3:30.
There are still two and a half hours before dawn, but there is no chance of survival for the whole city, and it will be completely destroyed!
