12 o'clock in the morning

Squeak

The door of the congress hall opened, and Jean walked out of the congress hall slowly, and Locke behind him pressed his hands on the double doors, looking at Jean with a solemn face.

"It's probably more complicated than you think."

Jean nodded.

"The situation is inevitably getting worse, and the next response is up to you, Chubby."

Locke snorted, nodded, and looked at Jean who was slowly walking towards the steps with his uniform, Locke closed the door, the strategy of action of the 3 divisions has changed, and after the last large-scale battle today, Congress will enter the discussion of dealing with the next state of affairs.

Some of the casualty figures have been reported, but Locke knows that the situation is far worse than the numbers.

The Orchard Project has been put on the agenda, and after discussing the countermeasures after this barrier area action, further discussions on the Orchard Project will be launched, which is requested by the gods, and Locke also knows that this is to mitigate the impact of this 3 sections of the barrier area action on society, and it must be announced, even if this plan is currently just a castle in the air and cannot be started, it is also necessary.

Jean stood on the stairs, looking at the dazzling sun in the sky, overlooking everything in the city, he was now going to the barrier area, although he might not be able to solve anything, but he could do something at the right time, the students were excellent, but at the same time they were too young, and when dealing with some problems, they were too restrictive, and the problems that arose in the barrier area now were not so easy to solve.

Jean looked to the west on the right, and to the north behind the Capitol, as long as these two sections could not have bottomless ravines like the east and south, the criminals could walk through, there must be loopholes, and now the sensing function of the phantom membrane is still being added, and it will not be possible to complete it in a short time.

Once it is done, the phloric membrane will envelop the city like a huge transparent cover, and everything that enters and leaves the city, as small as a grain of water molecule or as large as a person, will be recorded.

The future needs more accurate data to guarantee, Jean glanced at the faint blue light flashing next to him, in the strong sunlight, the blue light has been so faint that it is almost impossible to see, looking at the pattern on the pillar, many places are the appearance of snowflakes, Jean does not know why he chose the pattern of snowflakes.

"Snow?"

Jean took out a cigarette, he hadn't seen a snowflake for I don't know how many years, looking at the snowflake carving pattern on the pillar, Jean felt a throbbing, and a girl's name always came to mind, Tasia.

"Who are you? Tasia! ”

The first time he went to look for mimics, Jean lost his way due to a broken locator, and he only remembered snowflakes in the sky, and then he couldn't remember anything, which was very important to Jean.

But no matter how Jean tried to think about it, he couldn't remember anything, and when he woke up, he was in a mountain range, but finally he went to the highest point of the Himalayas, saw a glimmer of light in the night, determined the location of the Bright City, and finally Jean returned to the Bright City. It's just that I can't remember that memory anyway.

Jean stepped down the stairs, the pale blue light on the pillar on the right stopped flickering, and the fierce wind came to his face, stirring the corner of the uniform in Jean's hand, and Jean looked at the city in front of him in a trance.

For Jean, the most important thing in his life is the agreement with others, and the reason why he can be so concerned is only one possibility, he has agreed with this woman named Tasia about something extremely important, but he has forgotten it.

Jean walked down the stairs step by step, the wind was getting stronger, and he had to go to the ramparts now, and though he might not be able to do anything anymore, he could do something.

After stepping down the last staircase, Jean saw Mo Xiaolazy sitting on the edge of the flower bed on the side of the General Affairs Department building, with his hands on his cheeks, Jean smiled at her, and Mo Xiaolazy breathed a sigh of relief.

"Is there no problem?"

After Jean nodded, he half-squatted on the ground, Mo Xiaolazy sighed, stood up, and directly pulled out a set of thick coats and lay on Jean's back.

"Sit tight, you'll be there in about 20 minutes!"

Mo Xiaolazy nodded and urged.

"Hurry up, it's hot."

Jean smiled and swooped out, and in an instant he had reached the edge of the General Affairs Section Square, only to see some faint blue particles falling in the air in the sunlight.

It was 1 o'clock in the afternoon

In the windswept barrier area, the long team is moving, Ling Hong is still walking at the end of the line, the team did not encounter any problems during the movement, but the speed of movement has accelerated, because after today's battle, most of the team can continue to march easily, and only some will continue to stay to accurately map the barrier area.

This march is only the last battle of Jizhigrad, as long as it is over, in just over a day, many people can no longer stand it, in such an environment, it is a torment for many people.

In the distance, only the black outline of the mountains is getting closer, and the march takes intermittent breaks, the march is an hour and rests for 20 minutes, and then starts again, more than 50 kilometers are already halfway through.

Even in such a wind and sand, the team was still able to move quickly, and many of the staff members had already begun to adapt, because they had been training in the barrier area for up to a year in the past, and it was normal to be restless, anxious, and irritable, but after the first day had passed, the experience of previous training came in handy.

Ling Hong glanced at the time, it should be able to be an hour earlier than the scheduled time, so that the group movement of the team can ignore the threat of wind and sand to a large extent.

Obviously, it can be easily used to use the carrier to arrive quickly, but in this way, the meaning of the march is lost, and the psychological significance of this march is far more important than Ling Hong imagined.

Although some people will be buried here for a long time, leaving a lifelong wound, but the vast majority of people have begun to face up to the meaning of this march, many times not relying on excellent weapons can solve all problems, in the process of combat on-the-spot reaction ability exercise, is also essential, mechanical weapons can improve only the success rate of the battle plan, many things are not foolproof.

Ling Hong looked at the mountain side in the distance, there was a little change, the terrain here was higher, and the vague outline of the city could already be seen, and under the gray-black sky, a large area of the city that could not be seen at a glance could already be clearly seen.

The members of the team who were still talking on the road stopped saying anything at this time, and the overall atmosphere became heavy, and the gray scale of the sky was relatively clear at this time, and the entire barrier area was gray, just like the haze sky after the gunsmoke.

Some of the squads in front had stopped and started to rest, Ling Hong quickly walked to the middle of the squad in front of him and summoned the captains of more than 30 squads.

On a screen of light and shadow, the map of the headquarters has been updated, and on the map is the general outline of Jizhgrad, which is a rough map that took a lot of exploration planes to map.

Now Ling Hong and the others are located due east, less than 20 kilometers away from Jizhigrad, and some squads have already traveled to a range of less than 10 kilometers, and have already begun to wait for the take-off and landing planes to deliver some heavy firepower weapons, and some new weapons of war will also be delivered.

The whole area of Gizhigrad is huge, it once lived here with a population of nearly 9 million, and it was the second largest city in the land after Jizhgra, and it was also briefly civilized and orderly in the past, when the real sun was not obscured.

As the sun's rays grew weaker and weaker, the nearby farmland became struggling to grow crops, food shortages, and chaos ensued, eventually when the sun's rays were completely unable to penetrate the objects wrapped around the planet, and a century-long war for survival began.

Many parts of the city still have traces of the war years, which have long been dilapidated, and some photos have been arranged in an orderly manner, and now the team leaders need to familiarize themselves with these pictures, and then they have 3 hours to lay out the battle plan for the members of the team after arriving at the target location.

After the first round of bombardment, they will begin to break through directly, and can only take a carpet clearance operation, breaking in from different places to sweep the whole of Jizhgrad.

In order to ensure that the enemy can be detected at the first time, the floaters will be densely arranged around the team members, plus the fire blockade of the flying fortress.

Squads at each combat assault site will shoot like sharp knives into Gizhgrad, and after the bombardment has been completed, the battlefield will be divided, and the assault will begin.

A new batch of combat equipment has begun to be sent to the front line, and all team members need to wear protective combat armor weighing more than 8kg, which can effectively resist sniper rifle attacks and some close-range blasting impacts.

Now that the weapons in the hands of the enemy have been basically determined, the 10th Division will also take the lead in using an automatic firing tower that can identify signals in the vicinity and launch attacks on the points where there is abnormal movement through the signals transmitted by floaters.

This Vulcan A6 automatic fire tower, which has 1200 rounds per second, will be placed in some important places, and it only takes 1 second to destroy a lot of things, and these fragile walls cannot withstand the fire of Vulcan A6.

After thinking about it, the rest time had come, and Ling Hong gave the order again, asking the team leaders to take their respective team members and go directly to a place 5 kilometers away from the target location to rest.

Over the years, Osman has been very strict with the physical training of the members of the 3 subjects, and has never slackened, and this group of more than 10,000 members of the 3 subjects is a leader with excellent endurance and endurance.

Such a long-distance march was nothing for them, and their physical strength could fully keep up, Ling Hong planned to go to the target location first, and then gather the squad leaders who were attacking from the east, issue combat orders, and hold a simple combat meeting.

Ling Hong moved quickly, and arrived at the established location in less than 10 minutes, at this time, a large number of large take-off and landing planes had already transported weapons and equipment, Ling Hong finally saw the whole picture of a part of Jizhigrad in front of him, the right side extended to the Altaula Mountains, and the left side was almost invisible, this giant city of mankind had long been dilapidated.

At this time, there was not the slightest sign of human activity in the entire city, and nothing could be seen from a distance, and the red particles began to dissipate near Ling Hong's eye sockets, and she walked into the prepared combat headquarters, and many squad leaders were already looking at the specific information sent over.

As soon as Ling Hong entered, more than 20 squad leaders stood up, Ling Hong waved his hand, motioning for them to sit down, and a total of 100 squads and more than 3,000 troops would be gathered in the east.

Ling Hong took the hot tea handed over by a female squad leader, took a sip, and leaned back on the chair comfortably, she planned to rest for half an hour, everyone's expressions were a little nervous, this sense of oppression that was about to come made the atmosphere in the entire Eastern Operations Command Department a little serious.

It was 1 o'clock in the afternoon

Lao Cheng took out a cigarette, lit it and took two puffs, the scarlet sparks floated in the breeze, the smoke shook violently in the air current, and there were weapons and ammunition piled up all around, as well as some controllable equipment for small missile launchers around the bunker on the eastern edge.

Lao Cheng looked through the binoculars, and from the cracks in the bunker, he could already see the assembled officers, he smiled, he never thought of going to the city to engage in any tug-of-war, most of the people who stayed behind were fighting on their own, choosing their own burial places, and waiting after the carnival this morning.

The weapons and ammunition in the bunkers are ready-made, these bunkers are on the edge of Gizhgrad, under many scattered buildings, very secretive, the city leaders have brought people to set up over the years, but this time is different from the past, most of the people have fled, knowing that there is no chance of victory.

The people who stayed behind did not think about the way out, nor did they think about the point of continuing to live, everyone is a criminal, there is no need to pray for mercy, or to repent, because no matter what, the sin has been imprinted on the people here for a lifetime, they have no fear, no family, no friends, and no relatives.

Click

Lao Cheng loaded a sniper rifle, and then began to load bullets into the empty magazine of the sniper rifle, humming a small song in his mouth, this is a childhood song in his memory, and the melody is very good.

"I've done something bad, it's bad, I deserve to die, but I'm not going to sit still!"

Lao Cheng smiled self-deprecatingly after speaking, but at this time, his eyes trembled slightly, the cigarette was already half lit, he took a puff, the expression on his face was a little complicated, Lao Cheng thought of those children.

"They don't know anything, how many of those little ghosts who don't know anything can survive today?"

The smile on Lao Cheng's face gradually froze, and then quickly regained his smile, but this smile seemed a little bleak.

"What's my business, they're not my children, anyway, even if these little ghosts return to the city, there is only a tragic fate waiting for them."

Lao Cheng picked up the wine bottle next to him, took a sip, spit out a puff of smoke, and threw away the cigarette butt, but the little boy he saw this morning in his mind, and the scene of the baby girl curled up in the corner on the little boy's back, always lingered, and Lao Cheng poured another sip of wine.

At this time, in a small room near the bunker where Lao Cheng was, a man and a woman had just separated, and after the two kissed eagerly, they looked at each other and smiled, each put on their clothes and pants, and picked up their respective weapons.

"The last one was wonderful!"

The woman smiled and lit a cigarette, and the man laughed.

"It's death anyway, and I hope you can live now."

The woman sneered.

"You habitual fraudster, why have your conscience awakened now?"

The man put his arm around the woman from behind and shook his head.

"I don't know why, I always feel like you don't deserve to die here, why don't you leave with your children?"

The woman shook her head.

"That little ghost........

The woman was a little distracted for a moment, and after exhaling a long breath of smoke, she laughed.

"Where can you escape? That little imp has been living in this cursed world since the day he was born, fucking shit. ”

The woman walked to the door of the room with her weapon on her back, and the man behind her shouted.

"I remember your son's name is Owen, and you have a baby girl named Shema."

The woman raised her hand and waved, smiled and walked out of the room, at this moment the woman felt her powerlessness as a mother, she couldn't give her son a bright world, so she had to take her son to hell with her, she was determined to leave, but the woman finally turned back, but she didn't go to Owen, because she knew very well that she couldn't give Owen anything, and she couldn't guarantee anything for him.

"Why did you come back, go to your child's side, maybe it's ........ to go out and surrender now"

"The reason why I came back is because I don't want to live anymore, that's all, as for the little ghost I was born with, I can only say sorry to him!"

The woman's hesitant expression changed, she left the house quickly, and her expression began to become indifferent, in the past, the woman had thought that all this she had suffered might be retribution, but now the woman did not think so, since bathing in the dawn of the new era, everything has changed, and the originally wealthy family began to become more and more unfortunate.

Everyone is looking forward to a new era where life should be better, but it's getting worse and worse.

Walking through the ruined streets, the woman glanced at the bright city in the distance and smiled contemptuously.

"We were abandoned by that city for a long time."

The temperature of the air was quite mild at this time, Owen hugged Hima, and kept patting her red little face, Owen yawned, looking at everything outside, the noise of the adults was over, but Owen didn't know what was in the sky before, it was something Owen had never seen before, and in the distance, there seemed to be something, I couldn't see it very clearly, it seemed to be a person, but it didn't seem to be.

"Shema, you really love to sleep and eat so much."

Owen said, looking at Shema's bulging belly, and laughed, now that Shema is asleep, he doesn't cry anymore, and he is a lot more relaxed.

Someone brought them food, but Xima seemed to have eaten too much this morning, no matter how Owen called Xima, he didn't wake up, the adults who came over before said to let Owen take good care of Xima, Owen remembered that when he left, his expression was a little sad, and he just put down some things to eat and drink and keep warm and left.

Owen took out another piece of candy from his pocket, his mother used to be eaten by Owen often, but it took a long, long time to eat it once, this time Owen got this kind of thing that makes him feel extremely happy as long as he holds it in his mouth, and he always feels lucky today.

Owen called She-Ma a few more times, but she still didn't wake up, so Owen put She-Ma on his back, leaned on the edge of the window with his hands on his cheeks, looking at the quiet city, and his heart was sweet.

"When will Mom come back!"

There was a loud sound, located 5 kilometers away from Jizhigrad, a large number of members of the 3rd Section were receiving combat equipment, this kind of combat armor that was a little heavy on the body, a little bulky, but many people felt relieved at this moment.

Many people look much better than yesterday, and this operation has a large-scale bombing, at least it can make the operation a little easier.

Someone even saw a tracked patrol guard robot, 10 people are debugging the robot, nearly 2 meters long, with a variety of weapons on it, like a mini tank.

Many of the 3rd Section members who have already experienced the battle in the barrier area are relieved, and the reason why they choose to fight at night is because the wind and sand at night are minimal, which can solve a lot of trouble, and the signal is much smoother than during the day.

The Raider tanks were ready, and the battle would begin at 7 p.m., and it was just 1:31 p.m., and there was still a lot of time to rest, and most of the staff put on their combat armor and found some comfortable sand to rest.

"What the hell did you say was that weapon last night?"

Someone asked, and the squad leader smiled and shook his head.

"It would be nice if that kind of weapon could be dispatched directly, and it would allow us to ........"

A section member just wanted to say something, his face sank, and there was a combat helmet next to him, only a small gap was exposed, and the internal structure was very exquisite, this heavy 1KG helmet was a little uncomfortable to wear at first, but their group of staff members had been wearing these heavy equipment for a few months to train in the barrier area, and now they don't feel unfamiliar, just a little diaphragm.

Someone was sleeping on the ground wearing a helmet, wanting to eliminate this diaphragmatic feeling as soon as possible, and the take-off and landing planes continued to take off and land, and more and more staff members gathered over.

At 2 o'clock, nearly 100 squads had gathered directly east of Jizhgrad, and the squad leaders were all in the combat conference room, listening to Ling Hong explain the operation of the operation, Ling Hong constantly took out every detail to analyze, and the squad leaders needed to strictly follow the implementation of the battle plan, which was necessary, and the integrity of the operation must be unified.

At this time, in the mountains located in the north of Jizhigrad, a mountain located in the middle of the mountains, more than 1,000 meters from the foot of the mountain, a large number of people gathered, behind them is a cave leading to the mountain range, there used to be a mine here, nearly 3,000 people came here, many people have long been exhausted, have long been rested, several leaders quietly stared at the lights in the distance, worriedly looking at everything in the city below the mountain, they have been living here peacefully for seven or eight years, but now everything is broken, The place in front of you will soon become a battlefield.

"Those bastards just don't listen."

One of the younger leaders muttered, and the other older leader laughed.

"It's not that they don't listen to persuasion, they can't escape anymore, we didn't discuss it at the beginning, this land should be free, at least more free than in the city, they at least have the right to choose their own burial ground."

A female leader next to her crouched on the ground, leaning against a large hard rock behind her.

"The remaining children don't know ........"

The female leader didn't finish speaking, and everyone's expressions changed slightly, and the older leader sighed.

"I'll go back to sleep, if you like to watch, if it's not ruined, we can go back for a while, if it's destroyed, we won't be able to go back, we can only live in the mountains for the rest of our lives."

Some people have difficulty adjusting to the sudden increase in height, there is a physical problem, and everyone who comes here wants to live.

The woman glared viciously at the distant place, in the bright city in the light, and she laughed contemptuously.

"I'll go back someday, and I'm going to make the guys in the city pay."

After the woman said something hatefully, several leaders next to her laughed.

"Don't think about it, go back? Where can I go back? ”

Some of the people had already crossed the mountains and had come directly to some of the former human facilities near the barriers, where the conditions were much worse, with more harmful particles in the air, and many people had just come sick from here, and there was very little medicine, and there was no good way to relieve them, so they could only resign themselves to fate, and some of the parents brought their children over and did not leave them in Gizhgrad.

In the distant sky, a dense white light kept passing through, and it seemed that this time the operation department was real, and a large-scale take-off and landing plane had been dispatched.

"Hurry up."

Mo Xiaolazy said, Jean still didn't move, just quietly looked at the white light in the sky in the distance.

"Can you convince her?"

Mo Xiaolazy nodded.

"Yes, I always feel that this war, inexplicable, really Jean, I always feel that this war, Section 3 has made a bad start, and will continue such a bad situation, there is no need to do this."

Jean smiled and nodded.

"So do you have a solution?"

Mo Xiaolazy was stunned for a few seconds and then shook his head.

"It is the safest thing to do at present to seal off the west and north and prevent any criminals from flowing to the barrier area."

"Now the city doesn't have that much capacity to do these things, so lazy."

Mo Xiaolazy pouted.

"Then you move quickly."
