Section 373: A Tale of Fate (1)
Looking down from the balcony, this is a beautiful city, except for the high-rise hotel where Marin is located, there are all kinds of villas and small buildings as far as the eye can see.
Maybe in normal times, there would be pedestrians running and exercising on the streets, mothers pushing strollers, and people of all kinds make the city smell of the living, instead of now, living corpses rubbing shoulders and looking at the tide of corpses below, Marin shook his head helplessly - this is the era of the great destruction.
I don't know where the city is today, but it did exist back then.
Thinking of this, Marin finished eating, then returned to the room, and asked Ansa to start flipping through the TV channels - this should be the best way to get a visual idea of the current situation.
The first channel is the fitness channel, which broadcasts programs that should have been recorded a long time ago - after all, the transparent background of the picture is a world of ice and snow, and a macho man with ten-pack abs is stretching with a group of equally strong men.
With only a natural abs, Marin was very unhappy and chose to change the channel.
The second channel has the word news written on it, and the woman in the studio on the screen is broadcasting a note about the cyborg out of control, and Marin confirms it and finds that it is also recorded, because when he said it, Marin saw that the star ring outside the transparent landscape glass behind her was still very neat.
And when he was on the balcony just now, Marin saw that a large part of the star ring had been lost, and he didn't know where this thing had fallen, but he thought that most of it should have been burned during re-entry, otherwise this world would not be able to live - such a large mass would be smashed on the ground, and the ashes raised would make the whole world not see the sun for the next period of time.
Thinking of this, Marin looked at the balcony again, and the sunlight shone into the balcony and through the glass door, bringing an inexplicable warmth to the room.
The third channel has only one screen, and the text is written on it - the playback is aborted.
Chopin's nocturne was playing, and I don't know which version it was, Marin simply sat down on the sofa and took the tablet handed by the mechanical waiter.
Open the news channel, most of the news in Europe is four days ago, but the Asian channel and the North American channel still have the news of the day, the overwhelming various battle scenes, should be taken by bold and good deeds, the high-speed running of living corpses in the picture and the fierce charging scene like a wave can be said to be another reproduction of Marin in the Bellevue Hotel called Le Grande Hotel.
Only this time, the multi-barrel rapid-fire cannon array driven by a high-speed electric motor in the picture completely shredded tens of thousands of out-of-control cyborgs.
The guy who shot the video didn't speak, but judging from the camera pointing to the sky, it should have been that the recording was not on, and this guy should be cheering.
It looks like Asia and North America are still resisting.
In this way, Marin somewhat understood - the cyborg incident should be the most serious outbreak in Europe, according to the clues in Marin's hand, it should be that the cyborg production base is in Europe, and those on the star ring should be sent up through the orbital elevator.
Does this represent a division of labor between different continents?
Marin was a little unclear, but from Karn Kedel's words, Marin could clearly understand his view of East Asians—those guys in East Asia, a very neutral word.
"Give me a pen."
As soon as Marin spoke, the mechanical waiter immediately took one out of the open drawer on its abdomen, and then manipulated its anti-gravity body to float over.
Marin took the pen and began to write his own conjectures on the tablet canvas.
First of all, the European zone is the birthplace of the cyborg crisis, because the factory is here, Marin specially asked Faye for this reason, confirmed the general map of the human world today, and compared it with the European zone in his own image.
Their current location is to be central Italy, with Fort Carter near Marseille in France, and Sidney Union covering more or less southeastern France, south-central Germany, and part of the Czech Republic.
The Swiss region and the Milan region in northwestern Italy are home to the Black Zone.
In contrast, the Northern Kingdom was the Danish region, and the Holy Kingdom and other kingdoms included north-central Germany, Poland, and the eastern Czech Republic.
The Eastern Kingdom was supposed to include Romania, Moldova, Ukraine and Belarus, while the entire Russian region and the Middle East became a huge black zone.
The Great Wilderness of the Just Church is supposed to include Austria, the northeastern salient of Italy, Slovenia and Croatia, and extend south to the Greek peninsula.
This area should be mountainous, but in the intelligence, this is a hilly area, Marin checked the map in the tablet for this, and found that it is indeed hills, so Marin feels that this earth should not be the earth he is familiar with, or the earth union has mastered the planetary transformation technology.
The three northern kingdoms have become a huge black zone, this is the northern black zone, because it is too cold, no tech hunters want to go over, only some giants are on the edge to beg for a living, but nothing can be found, Marin through comparison, found that Norway, Sweden and Finland have become no man's land before the era of destruction - everyone went to live in the south.
Only a few wealthy people would build isolated resort buildings there - so in Marin's opinion, there was almost no searchability in that ghost place, and there were no living corpses, just breaking -100 degrees all year round.
It's a hell of a place where even frost giants feel the cold.
Northern France lost its Channel before Britain, and it was once the Ingmar Empire, and of course it is now the Black Zone and Chaos Control Zone.
Spain and Portugal have disappeared from the map, and Marin doesn't know if this represents a difference between the world and Marin's previous world, or if it was the result of a destruction in the past thousands of years.
Italy has lost Sicily and the southern regions, Corsica and Sardinia are within the confines of the Raging Sea, the people on land have long forgotten about them, Marin does not know if they have disappeared or continue to exist, next time ask the sea tribes?
As for Africa...... Considering that only the western part of the Mediterranean can be navigated, and that the Thays say that the east-west voyage will take almost half a year, Marin suspects that Africa may have disappeared.
As for why he didn't see this, Marin himself didn't know the bottom of his heart.
In short, it's a ridiculous world.
Marin sighed.
The relay towers in Europe were all destroyed, so they could not receive terrestrial communication, and the satellites in the universe could work, but Marin didn't know why Karn and the others said that they couldn't contact ...... Could it be the disturbance caused by the fall of the ring?
Anyway, Marin is now watching the big soldiers in Asia put out fires everywhere - maybe because they blew up the rail elevator on the spot, and the large number of cyborgs in the star ring did not enter the Asian area.
Just now, Marin even saw a wingless shuttle flying slowly through the air, and the loudspeaker said that the survivors should be hidden, and the United Earth Army would go to the European area as soon as possible to rescue.
If history hadn't told Marin that there were four more such destructions, Marin would have felt that it was just a Cyborg crisis.
So when Marin saw Washington at dawn. When the sky turned dark green, and countless mysterious objects dragged black fireworks down, they still sighed that destruction had finally come.
For Kahn Kedel, he may have been unfortunate because his young life had died; But in the same way, he was lucky, because he no longer had to face death from the sky.
Real death has come, and compared to such an existence, the living corpse is nothing more than a scabies.
Watching the video shoot scream at the flesh that had fallen in his garden, Marin understood that this should be the price of looking directly at Chaos, and the filmmaker finally fell to his knees, his tablet on the ground, and the camera just recorded its distortion.
Marlin glanced at the time on the tablet.
A.D. 2489, July 17.
Marin sighed as he heard the siren.
"Guest, a nuclear strike has been detected on the way, and the Joint Military Committee has announced that your region of southern Italy will be in the nuclear strike sequence." Ansa issued a warning.
"What about North America." Marin asked.
"North America is fighting, new enemies are emerging from low-earth orbit, please immediately go to the shelter under the hotel to take refuge." Ansa sent a mechanical waiter: "Mr. Marin, please go to the shelter immediately, the four nuclear bombs launched from central Siberia still have fourteen minutes and seventeen seconds to arrive, please follow the waiter to the shelter, please be sure to live, guest." ”
“…… No need. Marin sighed and fell down on the bed: "Ansha, goodbye." ”
The next second, Marin, who opened his eyes, heard a slight breathing sound, turned his head, and Marin saw Faye, the elf girl was sleeping so deeply that Matilda's whole fox held her and did not react.
Marin carefully pulled his hand out of his sister's arms, carefully performed a spider trick on himself, and then crawled out of bed through the inner wall of the carriage, and finally landed quietly.
Farni and Beep cuddled together on the coffee table to sleep, Marin turned his head, Fio got up from the coffee table, it opened a small portal for Marin, Marin climbed in, and then climbed onto the top of the carriage.
At the top of the mountains far east, there is the light of dawn, and the planet beneath its feet is still carrying out its mission.
As the sun leapt out of the mountain, Marin pulled a bottle of wine out of the void, uncorked it and blew it away.
He threw the bottle back and lay down on the roof of the car, and Chopin's nocturne came from the tablet.
Until a teleportation hole appeared next to Marin, Faye, who was wearing pajamas, poked his head out and immediately frowned: "What kind of wine did you drink early in the morning?" ”
"No, I'm just wishing myself a happy birthday." Marin smiled and burped.
"Don't be stupid, your birthday hasn't come yet, come, come down." Faye said as he reached out and grabbed Marin, "You're getting smaller again, really, are you really a giant, Marin." ”
"Of course, whether I'm big or small, you can confirm it."
After saying that, Marin was carried into the portal by the back of his neck.
"I'm not going to go crazy with a drunk, sober me up!"
Faye, who threw Marin on the bed, seemed to be a little confused.
But it's normal.
Faye wouldn't understand that her Marlin had just had a birthday on a deep dive.
Thinking of this, Marin pursed his mouth for a long time, and then was held in his arms by Matilda in his dream.
Damn, this girl has a lot of strength, and she can't breathe a little.
