Chapter 221: Until Death
On the tarmac, hundreds of APU mechs are neatly arranged, quietly waiting for the moment when they are activated. The pure metal structure of the fuselage, up to three meters of huge body, even in a stationary state, also gives people a strong sense of deterrence, its shape design combines the rough wildness with the exquisite industrial structure aesthetics, the material and the gloss of the surface bring a cold metallic texture, the unprotected operation room completely exposes the human individual soldier to the outside, this design that is easy to be killed in seconds has been complained by many weapon enthusiasts, including Wang Yang. But when it came to the world of the Matrix, Wang Yang knew that in addition to the actual needs of mobility and weight, this design also stems from the collective unconscious of human beings, because of the continuous hundreds of years of slaughter and enslavement, human beings' disgust with pure machines has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, so from the designer to the driver all agree that this design can add a bit of flesh and blood to this killing machine, and always remind the driver not to forget his own blood and race.
There was another vibration from the outer walls of Zion, and the pressure of the coming war had fallen on everyone's heads, and the soldiers of the Defense Army, who had long been accustomed to all this, performed their duties, and walked through their respective posts in a nervous and orderly manner, occasionally passing by, only signaling to each other with their eyes.
Wang Yang stood on the other side of the tarmac, with short hair, light, and a silent aura, which could isolate the surrounding noise and scrutiny. Nine strangely shaped EMP guns were neatly arranged around him, and beside him were hundreds of unruly death squads, but no matter who they were, they were in awe of the one standing at the front.
With a face that is not angry and arrogant, and short hair like a steel needle, he stops there casually, and immediately has a momentum like an immovable mountain, which makes it difficult for people to look at. On the huge tarmac, everyone was faintly headed by him, and only Wang Yang could keep his calm and relaxed.
"Hello, Wang Yang." In Wang Yang's induction, everyone opened their mouths wide and looked at themselves in great surprise. was able to let McFanley speak first as his boss, and Wang Yang gave everyone a big surprise.
"Hello, sir." Wang Yang stood up and replied with a straight face. In the Zion Defense Force, he was second only to Morpheus in respect for Captain McVanley. In the survey of the viewing experience of the third part of the Matrix, only two plots reached 100% attractiveness: one was Captain McFanley leading the APU team to stop the invasion of the Machine Legion, and the other was Captain McVanley's heroic sacrifice in the face of the torrent of electronic squid; You know, even Neo's aerial duel with Smith is only 95 percent.
Captain McFanley smiled and said, "First time we met, introduce myself, McFanley, rank Captain, it's a pleasure to meet you." β
Wang Yang also said: "I have admired the name for a long time, captain." β
McFanley raised his eyebrows: "Oh, you've heard of me?" β
- Of course, who has seen the Matrix and who doesn't respect you? In Beijing's dialect, that's the real guys!
"The steel gates of Zion, the last barrier of humanity, the trump card of Locke." Wang Yang said word by word, "You are the pride of all soldiers. β
Captain McFanley's gaze wandered over the nine EMP guns for a moment: "Your design? It's a strange shape, where is the trigger? "After Wang Yang's redesign, the EMP gun has become shorter and more powerful, and a lot of redundant features such as grips, scopes, and triggers have been eliminated.
Wang Yang said: "No need, I control it directly." β
Captain McFanley pointed to nine weapons: "Can you handle them at the same time?" β
Wang Yang replied: "After calculation, this is the number of firepower I can exert the maximum amount of firepower." β
McFanley nodded: "In this way, you can have at least three mechs on top of it alone, not bad." He was talking about weapons, but everyone in the audience could feel that he was really judging people.
Captain McFanley looked at Wang Yang with interest for a while, and suddenly asked, "How old are you?" β
Wang Yang paused for a moment, after entering the infinite reincarnation for so long, to be honest, he almost forgot the time, if he added the cultivation in the super training space, he really responded to the poem: There is no sun and moon in the mountains, and the cold and heat do not know the year. He could only answer with his real-world age: "Twenty-seven." β
Captain McFanley's eyes showed a look of relief: "Yes, young and promising!" β
Wang Yang was a little curious: "Don't you think I'm guilty of not being punished?" β
McFanley's face turned pale: "Of course." But then he relented: "But you smashed the damn cage." In war, we try to avoid affecting the innocent, but many times, war is war, and victory comes first. If a soldier is allowed to win a battle, he is also required not to injure civilians by mistake, unless the soldier's name is God. β
Speaking of this, Captain McFanley patted Wang Yang on the shoulder: "In fact, in the defense army, many people think that you are good, but you must also understand that war is never a simple military act. β
Wang Yang looked at him, he didn't know what to say for a while, he could say such things in such a place at such a time, he could only describe his mood with respect. From the bottom of his heart, he is not a cold-blooded and ruthless person, and he hopes to save as many compatriots as possible, even if these compatriots are just NPCs to him, but as he explained to Morpheus, the remnants of the earth can no longer bear more life, rather than let those humans who can't accept the reality finally have a mental breakdown, it is better to keep only Zion, and in another sense, only these human beings who have experienced disasters and know how to cherish can truly let go of hatred and differences and continue the race. Didn't Commander Locke understand this? Don't the members of the council know how to make trade-offs? No, they understand, it's just that this responsibility is too heavy, and they have too many bonds with this world to let go of at all.
Seeing Wang Yang's speechless appearance, Captain McFanley smiled and said, "You don't have to be like this, young man. I just said what I had to say, like you did what you had to do. As for the result, to hell with it! β
Wang Yang was silent for a long time, and finally said: "Thank you!" "He is not a man of this world, he has no entanglement of cause and effect, and naturally he has a lot less scruples, even so, when he thinks of those compatriots who I did not kill Boren Boren and died because of me, he will still feel related, and Captain McFanley can stand in the position of this world to affirm himself, what kind of mind does it take?
Captain McFanley waved his hand and suddenly whispered, "Nebuchadnezzar has left." β
Wang Yang's heart suddenly burst: "Oh." β
McFanley smiled a little mysteriously: "The driver is not Morpheus but Neo, even if Speaker Haman approves, it will be difficult for Commander Locke to pass, because leaving at this time is almost equivalent to death, but until he walked out of the gate of Zion, he actually had a green light all the way, according to those operators, they all thought that they had received the order to take off, but in fact, Commander Locke had already ordered to concentrate all forces to guard Zion, and it was impossible to let any spaceship take off." What do you think? β
Wang Yang suddenly smiled: "Captain, I think this is the will of heaven." β
Captain McFanley also smiled: "The prophecy says that twelve o'clock tonight will be the hour of the destruction of Zion, do you believe it?" β
Wang Yang did not hesitate: "I only believe that things are man-made." β
Captain McFanley asked again: "Will the war end?" β
Wang Yang nodded: "It will be." β
Captain McFanley stared at Wang Yang tightly: "So can humans win?" β
Wang Yang replied lightly: "The power of life is only qualified to be judged in the future. β
Captain McFanley looked at Zion, who was facing a great enemy at his feet, and said with deep emotion, "Yes. Even if we can defeat the machine, it will take a lot of courage and wisdom to survive on this devastated earth, and it is hard to imagine how we can describe the future to the next generation in the face of all this. Humanity needs a future, a future full of hope and infinite possibilities. β
Speaking of this, he suddenly looked at Wang Yang with a meaningful look in his eyes.
Of course, Wang Yang understood what the other party meant, but he couldn't give any promises, this time the solo plot was about to end, and his life had entered the countdown, and the opportunity for him to break through the bottleneck was unknown, it was the mud bodhisattva who crossed the river and could not protect himself, at this time, what qualifications did he have to promise others?
Captain McFanley's eyes were slightly dim, but he also knew that at this moment, being able to survive desperately was the most important thing, no matter how rebellious Wang Yang was in the Matrix, back in the real world, he was just a person who was a little more powerful than an ordinary soldier, and in the face of 250,000 electronic squid, his strength could only be regarded as a drop in the bucket.
At this time, a dull rumble was heard again, and the whole of Zion began to shake, and outside the reinforced concrete faΓ§ade, the sound of the electronic squid rushing through it was densely intertwined, intertwined into a beehive-like hum, like the grim laugh of the Grim Reaper. The final battle is coming.
McFanley glanced up, his gaze had become as sharp as a falcon, and he suddenly said loudly to Wang Yang: "Okay, one last question: Can I fight side by side with you?" β
This sentence was like a flame, which made Wang Yang's long-dormant blood burn, and he once again felt the power transmitted to him by Trinity, a power more powerful than pure power-moved, he put his fist on his left chest, and replied in an unquestionable voice: "Until death!" β
