Chapter Eighty-Three: The End of the World
At noon that day, after making adequate preparations, General Hardeman and the base commander, Admiral Robert, boarded the main battleship of the base.
When all the air and space battleships were ready to go, Colonel Robert stood in the middle of the main control room, looking at the choppy Pacific Ocean in the distance, squinting his eyes slightly, and then reached out and dragged the main control panel on his side, frowning and issuing orders to all warships and armies:
"All the troops are leaving!"
With an order, dozens of air and space warships suddenly soared into the sky from the Iron Fortress Armament Square, followed by nearly 100 heavy and super-heavy mechs with their wings open behind them.
The battleship and mecha formed a triangular formation, forming a dark cloud in the sky, covering most of the sky.
"How's it going?"
Tony's mustachioed face appeared on the virtual panel of the mech control room where Lawne was, and asked with a smile.
"How's that?" Lawne asked, looking overwhelmed.
"Isn't it cool to control such a war machine? Feeling good? ”
With a faint smile, Tony suddenly paused and thought for a moment, and then continued: "When I go back, I will also build such a mecha, and when the time comes, the control system and metal shell inside will be fully upgraded, but there are no creatures like giant beasts in our world, and it doesn't seem to be of much use to create such a giant armor." ”
"Build a mecha?"
Lawn was slightly surprised, and smacked his tongue: "Stark, the size of the mecha, you just need to shrink it appropriately, this world created this kind of giant mecha just to defend against giant beasts, and we don't need such a huge guy in our world." ”
"But don't forget that the technology of our world neural sensing device is not yet mature, of course, if you want to build a model, just go ahead and get one, and keep one for me as a collector when the time comes."
"Small ......"
Tony smiled and waved his hand nonchalantly in response, "But I'm trying to build more than just a model." ”
"Do you really want to make such a big guy? But how do you solve the control system, stability system, power system and neural sensing system of the mecha? ”
"It's simple, Laune, don't forget ......"
Tony smiled happily and said slowly, "What have I been doing all this time?" ”
"Your time...... Mecha Labs? ”
A thought suddenly popped into Lawn's mind, and he couldn't help but stare at Tony on the virtual panel, and exclaimed, "Have you mastered these techniques?" ”
"What do you say?"
Tony smiled at him, then waved his hand and said, "Wait for my good news when you go back, to be honest, I really want to see how your old man Ronan Collins will look when he sees the 'gadget' I made." ”
The corners of Lawn's mouth tugged inadvertently, and he didn't say anything more.
"Alright, we're almost in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, so get ready for battle."
After Tony said this, he immediately reached out and closed the communication interface.
The power of nuclear fusion propelled cloudy arrays of warships and mechs to fly at supersonic speeds, quickly disappearing through the sky.
…………
Walker Turner was a pilot who originally worked for the 11th Regiment at Lion's Heart Base in Seattle, but in a naval battle, his fighter group was almost completely wiped out, and he was the only one who survived, but he also paid the price of a leg.
In this special period of global war, the federal government does not support useless people, even if his stump leg has been replaced with a mechanical leg, and there is almost no obstacle to action, but because of the defeat of the battle, he still lost the rank of captain, and was assigned to the lowest level of maintenance work near the high wall of the base defense line.
Walker thought that his life was almost so mediocre, but an accident two days ago inadvertently changed his life completely.
He remembered that he was still doing normal maintenance work that day, because there had never been a trace of a giant beast near the coastal defense line in the past half a month, so he dared to go out of the defense line to clean up the war garbage that washed up on the beach.
But just when he came to the outside of the defense line to collect the garbage of the war on the beach, he found a woman who washed up on the shore with the garbage in the garbage pusher.
And when Walker ran over to help her, he was surprised to find that the woman's consciousness was still awake.
When he came to his side, the woman grabbed him by the leg of his trousers, but instead of saying a word for help, she stared at him for a long time.
That scene at that time will probably be unforgettable for the rest of my life.
Walker's shabby clothes, pale face, and swollen body soaked in the sea made Walker startled, but after calming down, Walker instantly sensed that this woman was unusual.
The woman's face was very ordinary, so ordinary that no one would be able to find her when walking in the crowd, but at that time, in Walker's eyes, this weak woman who pulled his trouser leg magically attracted him.
The woman has an inexplicable temperament that Walker can't express clearly, he only vaguely feels that this woman has a special aura that is incompatible with the whole world.
The woman grabbed his trouser leg and stared at him for a moment before she opened her dry lips and asked him, "Are you a maintenance worker at this base?" ”
Hearing the woman's question, Walker was stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly with his mouth half-open.
"Poor ......"
The woman's face was pale, but there was a strange sneering smile on the corner of her mouth, she glanced at Walker's mechanical leg, and shook her head weakly: "This leg of yours is caused by those giant beasts, right?" ”
“…… Yes. Walker frowned slightly and nodded.
"You people have spent your whole lives fighting to save the world, to resist the sudden crisis of giant beasts, but you have never thought about where those giant beasts came from, you just resist like a machine?"
"What do you mean by that?" Walker heard something different from the woman's words, and hurriedly asked.
"What do you mean? …… Ha ha...... What do you mean by me? ”
The woman suddenly stood up and sat on the ground, staring at Walker, and then laughed like a maniacal.
"Do you really think that all you have done is to save the world, to restore the peace that your homeland had before it was restored? No...... Not ......"
The woman shook her head frantically, laughing and saying loudly, "It's all just a game, you are playthings, the beast is a plaything, and I ......"
The woman suddenly lowered, "It's also a plaything." ”
"What the hell do you mean?" Walker felt more and more confused and wrong, and asked again.
"Go to the end of the world and see it, and get there, and you'll see everything you want to know."
The woman sighed and said to Walker, then looked up at the sky, looking at the clouds and the blazing sun for a long time, but the corners of her mouth showed an eerie smile with mockery, sarcasm, joy and relief.
Walker looked at the woman's smile and felt more and more panicked, but the words of this stranger he had just met unwittingly planted a seed in his heart.
After the corners of the woman's mouth grinned to the extreme, she fell down with a "poof" and did not get up again.
But the seed in Walker's heart sprouted in just two days, and finally reached a point of unbearable itching and pain.
Now, two days later, at this moment, Walker is flying a worn-out plane that he has put together toward the edge of North America.
Looking unwaveringly ahead, Walker didn't know what he wanted to see, he didn't know what the end of the world was, but he felt he had to go.
