Wasteland Plane.

Just when Su Ziyu sensed that an unprecedented powerful enemy was descending on the material world, in an underground laboratory in the wasteland plane, a major event occurred that was enough to change the course of the world.

The white conference room was filled with figures.

The youngest of them was a mature woman in her thirties, with long, burgundy wavy hair and a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

Da-da-da-da.

A crisp sound of footsteps sounded.

Soon, Dr. A, dressed in a white coat, walked in, followed by a pair of young men and women, women in their twenties, with beautiful and cold faces, dressed as professional secretaries, with slightly long fingernails, and a pair of azure eyes behind gold wire glasses staring coldly at the others.

The young man beside her, also with a handsome face, stood behind Dr. A with a blank face, like a cold soldier.

"Thank you very much for being here in person."

Dr. A came to the front of the conference room, glanced at the others, his pupils narrowed slightly, but the corners of his mouth raised a smile, and said slowly, "This meeting is very important. ”

"In order to avoid information theft, I invited you to come in person."

It's different from the last meeting.

This time, the people who appeared here were all ontologies, not holographic projections, and the situation in the wasteland plane has become more and more tense in the past two years, and the genetics have launched several counterattacks, and also stolen some of their information, and many underground forces have emerged, further expanding the scale of chaos.

"Dr. A."

"Is there any important information that we need to come over in person?" A white scholar in his fifties stood up, looked at Dr. A in front of him, and said, "Have you found [Zeus]?" ”

"Or did you find out who he really is?"

Hearing his words, Dr. A shook his head gently and said, "No." Zeus has not been seen since the last operation. ”

"We can only be sure that he has some connection to the Brotherhood."

"But the Brotherhood has kept any information about him under wraps, and it's impossible to determine his true identity."

Dr. A's words made some scholars look disappointed, the most mysterious existence in the wasteland in the past two years must be the one known as [Zeus], who can control the power of lightning, and single-handedly destroyed several secret bases of the Genomics in the northern region two years ago. This incident has greatly damaged the strength of the genetic school, and if it weren't for the sudden appearance of Zeus, I'm afraid they wouldn't have regained control of the northern region so quickly.

"Although no trace of Zeus has been found."

"But our men have discovered traces of the Godmother of Isold, who has recently appeared in the depths of the Atomic Sea." Dr. A raised his hand slightly, and a female figure with long light green hair appeared, and he swept his gaze and said, "This is the first time that Godmother Isolder has appeared in our sight since she destroyed the super mutant base of the Genomics with [Atomic Light] last time. ”

"Still."

"Ladies and gentlemen, that's not what we're going to talk about today."

Since the mysterious being codenamed [Zeus] wreaked havoc on the genomics two years ago, many scholars have become extremely interested in such abilities, and then the [Atomic Light] of Godmother Isolder has made them extremely concerned about it, because they have discovered that humans can actually control the power of radiation.

Does this mean that there is another antidote for humanity?

Dr. A's gaze swept around the conference room, then clapped his hands, and some holographic projections appeared in front of him, his tone gradually became cold, and he said slowly, "Everyone, please look here." ”

"Here are some of the images that our satellites have captured in Asia."

The screen switches quickly.

The first to emerge was a huge industrial city, and just looking at the red flag flying in the center of the city, everyone else present knew where it was.

"Beidou?"

"Are they expanding again?" The mature woman in her thirties pushed her glasses on the bridge of her nose and said.

Dr. A moved his fingers slightly to quickly switch the picture, and said in a deep voice, "Yes." This is the third expansion of Beidou. ”

"Look here."

On the periphery of this huge industrial city, a large number of construction sites are being started, and in the distance is a vast convoy, stretching for almost dozens of kilometers, with no end in sight, the original abandoned roads have been rebuilt, and heavy trucks are loaded with all kinds of materials, which are transported to the industrial city in front of them like a long dragon, and continuously deliver nutrients to it.

Groups of soldiers in exoskeleton armor are marching in formation, some of them carrying supplies back, some of them heading out into the unknown distance in heavily armored trucks.

"Two years."

"Beidou launched a total of twelve expeditions." Dr. A's voice grew deeper and deeper, even revealing a hint of coldness, and he said slowly, "Once every two months on average." ”

"More than 1.5 million troops were mobilized before and after."

"Eight armies, more than twenty armored divisions."

With a wave of his finger, Dr. A turned into a map of Asia, with red arrows extending from the red dot where Beidou was located, first pointing to two cities in the coastal zone, then extending to the Yangtze River and Yellow River basins, then north to the edge of the map, and then all the way south.

"It can't be!" An old white man in his sixties stood up and exclaimed, "They simply don't have that many supplies to support such a large-scale battle!" ”

Dr. A looked up at him coldly, and with a flick of his finger, he said, "Yes." Normally, that's true. ”

"They simply don't have so much supplies to support such a massive expedition."

The screen switches again.

This time there is no longer a majestic industrial city, but a long-abandoned factory mining area, the first picture is captured by satellites, you can see a convoy full of people driving into it, and then the whole area began to undergo earth-shaking changes, one by one factories were rebuilt, huge armored vehicles, heavy trucks, cranes, excavators will be abandoned factories flat, and then there is a 24-hour all-night work picture, countless figures like ants flying by, In the blink of an eye, factories and mines were re-established.

Countless similar images are repeated, and factories are re-established on abandoned land.

In the end, the picture is fixed on a group of workers covered in darkness, they seem to have just come out of the mine, a face is completely indistinguishable, the face is covered with black dirt, only a pair of resolute bloodshot eyes, rough palms are full of calluses, they laugh and remove the external mechanical crane arm, and then a group of people sit around the ground, holding boxes of food and swallowing their heads, not far from them, there is another team of workers covered in dirt, they greet these people, Without hesitation, he entered the dark mine ahead.

"They work more than twelve hours a day."

"All the factories and mines are running at full capacity 24 hours a day in three shifts." Dr. A's voice was very low, and he said slowly: "In Beidou, there are tens of millions of workers like them. ”

"They not only supported Beidou's twelve large-scale expeditions."

"And three new industrial cities have been rebuilt."

The picture changed again.

The first to appear is a certain city in the coastal zone, thousands of engineering teams are extremely busy starting work, and in the distance is dozens of convoys are constantly transporting countless materials and resources, and in the distance is an unfinished port, on which you can see a huge aircraft carrier, its hull has been dilapidated, but at this time there are more than a dozen engineering teams are busy on the aircraft carrier, and a helicopter gunship is slowly descending on the deck of the aircraft carrier.

There was a dead silence in the meeting room.

The screen switches again, this time to a city in the valley of the Two Rivers, half of which is still in dilapidated ruins, but the other half has been rebuilt with high-rise buildings, and outside the barracks are countless armored vehicles, at this time a group of fully armed steel soldiers with black blood stains are returning to the team.

"The footage was shot a month ago." Dr. A said slowly, "At the speed of their current march, this force should have pushed through the valley of the two rivers. ”

There was a brief silence.

The woman in her thirties suddenly spoke, "We can't sit still, maybe we can stop them from expanding further." ”

"One of their legions is almost beyond the borders of the old days."

"According to the treaties of the old era, they violated the territorial sovereignty of other countries by doing so."

The voice fell.

Many people in the conference room raised their heads, but Dr. A's pupils constricted, as if he wanted to show a mocking smile, but he restrained himself, he turned his head to look at the woman, his cold gaze made the other party's heartbeat seem to stop, and then he said in a deep voice: "The border? ”

"Do you think this thing still makes sense now?"

"When you see these images, the first thing that comes to your mind is how to stop them. Destroy them? ”

"It's the Wasteland Age."

"The foreseeable end is just around the corner, and according to Gaia's calculations, in about 120 years, there will be no new babies born in mankind."

Dr. A's words silenced everyone else.

"But we can't sit back and watch them grow, it will threaten our country......" said an old man suddenly.

Dr. A interrupted him with a wave of his hand, his gaze swept like a sharp blade, and he said in a condensed voice: "The concept of the state should have been abandoned a long time ago!" We are in a country that once had the best of everything on earth! ”

"The best people! State-of-the-art technology! The most abundant resources! The greatest wealth! ”

"But what about the result?"

"It didn't lead humanity out of the earth, it didn't bring us a better future, it left us with nothing but war, war, endless wars......"

"Are you going to make the great catastrophe of the old times happen again?"

The others were a little eager to say something, but Dr. A seemed to be a little interested, gently raised his hand to switch the screen, and said slowly, "A day ago." Mass riots erupted among workers in Icephard as they protested for more than fifty hours a week. ”

"They took over the town hall with guns."

The scene cuts to a burning building, with a mob of gunmen in front of it, many shops looted, and billowing smoke from the fire in the distance.

The riots turned the city into a carnival of mobs.

"Frostpunk is just a special example." An old man with gray hair stood up and said in a deep voice, "We can send someone to suppress them at any time. ”

"Everything else is fine."

Inside the conference room.

Many people looked thoughtfully at Dr. A in front of them, and some of them had already guessed what Dr. A was going to do.

"And then?" Dr. A turned his head to look at the old man in front of him, a mocking smile on his lips.

"We can speed up synth production!" A middle-aged man spoke, "As long as there are enough synths, we can expand quickly. ”

Dr. A smiled and shook his head, "This is the Wasteland Age. ”

"A synth costs more than a state-of-the-art exoskeleton power armor, how much do you think we can make with the resources we've collected so far?"

After speaking, Dr. A gestured to the female secretary next to him.

Then he looked at the others present and said, "This is the picture we took with the satellite three days ago. ”

A white snowfield appears in the picture.

In the distance, a metropolis that has been completely destroyed by nuclear bombing, in a certain square area of the metropolis, a huge hideous creature like flesh and blood is sleeping in it, it is like a huge distorted jellyfish, extending a series of tentacles on the surface of its body, as if it is swaying slightly with the breath, and it is impossible to see what it is, because just observing its existence through the picture, many people have already felt a trace of spiritual stinging.

An indescribable, unguessable unknown existence.

Born in the heart of a nuclear explosion, an unknown monster that has been dormant for hundreds of years has not yet truly set foot in this realm of death.

Thundered.

A dull roar of machinery suddenly rang out.

I don't know when huge airships appeared in the sky, and below the airships, there is a huge army composed entirely of steel torrents is slowly advancing, directly in front of them are super giant exoskeleton armor up to about twelve meters high, under their feet are countless soldiers equipped with light exoskeletons like ants, their faces are cold, similar appearances, many people look as if carved out of a mold, a large number of armored vehicles are full of such soldiers, they are assembled into a legion, advancing towards the city that has long been reduced to ruins in front of it.

"Clone!" A suppressed exclamation from a certain woman rang out.

Heavy tracks pressed over the snowfield.

In the line of sight of the group, hundreds of tank units gradually emerged, these heavy tanks were completely different from other tanks, because in front of it was printed a bright red five-pointed star, extending two black hole barrels, the pitch-black coating exuded a suffocating pressure, when this armored unit appeared, many people in the conference room were very different.

Many people present had the impression of that unique shape, and one of them stood up with a face full of disbelief and said, "Apocalypse?!" ”

"It's impossible!"

"In the old days, we were victorious! We destroyed all their heavy industry! We destroyed all their military facilities! ……”

"There's no way they're capable of making an apocalypse!"

The picture in front of me changed again.

With the mighty Apocalypse Tank driving into the front position, tens of millions of armored soldiers began to assemble, and the cannon fire shrouded the abandoned city in front, and a strange light curtain visible to the naked eye shrouded the legion in front.

The entire conference room was silent, and many people looked dumbfounded.

Dr. A didn't speak, but the mockery on his face was even stronger, he swept the others present with a cold gaze, and after slightly signaling to the secretary next to him, he directly closed the door of the entire conference room, and then stood up and said, "I re-propose "Swarm Consciousness Implantation"! ”

"Who's in favor? Who is against? ”

The voice fell.

In the projected picture in front of them, countless soldiers also began to charge towards the abandoned city in front of them, accompanied by artillery fire that covered the sky, and a roar that had not been heard for a long time also echoed in the sky.

"Ula !!"

"Ula !!"

"Ula !!"
