00330 Act III Massacre
In front of him, the whole of Cerberus has been plunged into an unprecedented catastrophe, mechanical creatures are mercilessly slaughtering humans, the death toll is rising, and blood stains every street.
And in front of them, this rain that had just saved them, she ......
It's also a mechanical life.
Or rather, it seems.
Yu'er looked around at everyone for a week and replied: "My name is Yu'er, this is given to me by Qi Xuan, but if you expect to get the truth, then I can tell you that my real name is ZCCE-20181061113, I am the first mechanical species in this world to be conceived and born through the idea of number order, I have an independent thinking core, independent self-awareness, in a sense, except for my body, I am no different from humans, and...... The most crucial point, I ....... ”
While everyone was still vigilant, Yu'er paused, and then said seriously: "It's your friend." ”
"Friends?!" The driver remained suspicious, and his gun was not lowered.
Trek stood at the end, looking at the familiar surroundings, as the Order, he hadn't been back since he was demoted, and today, he hadn't heard anything about it before the whole catastrophe struck.
It seems that he has been abandoned...... Terrick thought sadly, and then ...... The first thing he thought of was not the immediate crisis, nor his own safety, but the fact that he had been blaming himself for all this time, about his daughter Terema.
"Are you suspicious of me?" Yu'er stood there and didn't move, but the others had already withdrawn behind the driver one after another, and it seemed that everyone thought that a thinking pistol could bring safety to flesh-and-blood humans.
The veteran driver, who had been an Imperial soldier, had made sense that he had not laid down his arms, even though he had realized that it was ridiculous to do so.
"Why should we believe you, are you any different from those murdering machines out there?!"
After hearing this, Yu'er replied calmly: "Of course there is, if not, you are dead by now." ”
The straightforward answer made everyone embarrassed.
The old driver's last resistance finally turned into an outburst of pain, and he suddenly fell to his knees and cried.
No one knows why he is like this.
Only Lin Sen, a bystander, understood the scene...... As he entered the base, he watched as his wife and daughter, who had begged for help, were brutally murdered by mechanical creatures that had broken into the room.
Yu'er was silent for a while and then said: "There is still a part of the supply left inside the base, enough for everyone to support for ten days, in these ten days, for your safety, please do not open the gate of the base again, otherwise, even if I am here, you will still die." ”
With that, Yu'er turned around and left the hall on her own.
The rest of the crowd sat there blankly, and the little fat man and his girlfriend were crying.
Yukiko's boyfriend sits in the corner with a pale face, giving Yukiko the only first aid kit while the wound in his own abdomen is still bleeding.
……
"You are all sifted test subjects, outcasts, and in the name of Order, lies are the only gift in the face of your impending death."
……
At this moment, in all corners of the city, a small-scale tragedy is turning into a massacre.
More and more people are wrapped in pitch-black lines, and when the life signals of human beings disappear, the mechanical life that replaces them begins to search for targets automatically.
And repeatedly, searching...... Slaughter...... Search...... The cycle of terror.
……
"They're coming! Everyone, prepare! "Revolt also appeared in all corners of Cerberus shortly after the catastrophe.
Even though there are no Freedom Wings or the Order Keepers who roam the streets all day long, the instinct to survive is great.
A few energy weapons, some metal instruments, and the humans began their struggle for survival.
But the results were not rosy.
The assembled humans are also ushering in an army of assembled machines.
In the face of a terrifying enemy whose strength and speed are far greater than those of ordinary people, the weak resistance of human beings is like a candle in a storm.
Not only was it faint, but it was extinguished in the darkness in an instant.
Blood pooled into a river and poured into the drainage system, and the originally golden sand beach was all bloody as far as the eye could see.
The result of the man's futile struggle was that his arms were torn off, his body was torn apart, and his flesh was flying and screaming.
……
"Your rulers have given up on you, for, in comparison with the continuation of humanity, the necessary order cannot be disturbed by chaotic struggles, and therefore they have built this great tomb for you."
Violdred didn't seem to care if anyone was listening to her, she kept talking to herself, and kept creating new mechanical life.
……
"General!! Let's fire! It's not the first time the blood-eyed adjutant has asked to go into battle, and the result is still "Wait for instructions." ”
Han Jingyu stood in the comprehensive combat headquarters on the wall of sighs, standing with his hands in his hands, looking into the distance.
The death toll was also beating before his eyes, but without an order, he could only hold on to it, carrying out the "total lockdown" plan for a greater continuation.
……
"Sir, why didn't the Freedom Wings save the citizens of the Coalition that they were supposed to shelter? What are they waiting for? "Midnight's mind grew a lot, a lot, and he began to have doubts, and there was sympathy.
The wind surged on the Wall of Sighs, and Lin Sen silently looked at the falling prosperity.
He was also questioning himself...... But it's not like the midnight confusion...... Lin Sen actually already had the answer in his heart, but he couldn't accept it.
As Han Wensheng conveyed......
Deprivation of life...... It's about prolonging life...... This can even be called honor...... There is no right or wrong.
……
Terema's combat company was ready, and all of Cerberus's internal combat forces were concentrated around Born Bright.
"Everyone has seen the tragedy! I don't want to say anything more! I don't have time to comfort you! Because behind you is the splendor of life that supports the city! If it falls, all humanity living inside Cerberus will die! So...... For humanity, for freedom! We have nothing to fear! The Commander-in-Chief also personally piloted an Iris Type 5 mech, and he stood in the middle of the wing, sword raised.
"Fearless !!" Tremar roared and shouted, and she watched the surging enemies in the distance, and a fierce battle was coming.
……
"The length of life has always been a very strange question, humans don't actually bother because they only have a lifespan of about 100 years, and of course, they don't mourn the shortness of mayflies because they only live for one day, because what? Because...... Be accustomed to something. ”
……
An hour after the disaster, the upward trend in the death toll eased, possibly because most of the survivors learned to hide, which slowed down the slaughter of mechanical creatures.
Located in the underground secret base in the second block of AZ1 City, everyone began to gather their emotions and try to accept the facts.
But the grief is amplifying, especially when Yukiko wakes up to find that her boyfriend is dead......
The old driver stopped crying, he wiped his weapon and began to look for available resources in the base.
But what made him desperate was that the interior of this huge base had been emptied...... Aside from some of the food supplies Yu'er had mentioned earlier, there was nothing else available, especially the weapons and armor that they needed most right now.
"No need to look for it, I already scanned it before I came, and there's nothing here." Yu'er stopped the old driver, who was about to continue his downward exploration.
The driver looked back at Yu'er, a girl who looked like a human, but was actually a robot with terrifying powers......
"Okay...... "The old driver went back.
When he returned to the hall, he noticed that there were three fewer people in the room.
On closer inspection, the middle-aged man and the little fat couple were gone.
"Where did they go?!" The old driver hurriedly asked.
Yukiko and the three people next to her realized that someone was missing, and they shook their heads in a hurry, and then everyone looked at the gate of the base that had been closed earlier.
"! Don't want to live! The old driver said as he picked up his weapon and ran to the door.
But Yu'er suddenly appeared and stopped him.
"It's too late, you can't save them, and the pheromones they leave will reveal our location, so we'll have to keep evacuating deeper as well, and this place will soon be exposed."
After Yu'er finished speaking, she stepped forward to help the depressed Yukiko and forcibly took her away from her dead boyfriend.
The remaining four people looked at each other, and after hesitating for a while, they still chose to believe Yu'er.
……
Returning to the place where Yu'er stopped the old driver before, Yu'er said softly: "There are many dangerous and cruel truths in the world below, and I advise you to put away your curiosity." ”
After speaking, Yu'er walked into the elevator with Xuezi first.
After everyone took the elevator down nearly 100 meters, the elevator reopened.
The moment the door opened, the dark passage was lit up, and immediately, on both sides of the passage, those "people" sleeping in the darkness began to feel uneasy.
Some of them got up and banged on the door of their room, some curled up in fear, and some of them looked blankly at the light and giggled.
This situation fell into the eyes of the old driver, and he secretly clenched his fists.
Among the three people who Yu'er was not very familiar with, a boy with long hair asked in a panic, "Is this ...... Where is this? He...... He...... They...... No...... No...... It can't be a xenomorph, right? ”
Yu'er didn't speak, she helped Yukiko and walked forward.
Yukiko's wound was still dripping blood, and the blood left a long trail.
The bright red, restless glow in the white glow made it all the more eerie.
After passing through the hallway, the lights go out.
Yu'er pushed open a large door, and behind it was an empty hall with a pitch-black pyramid standing in the center of the hall.
"Okay, it's safe here for now, you guys rest here, I'll go back and bring the food, remember, don't try to leave again, because this place has come to the end of the base." Yu'er left a new piece of advice and left.
