After half a month of revisions to the secret base in the depths of the ocean, Lin Sen took Chen Lan to leave the island in "Midnight" and rushed to the Dome of Cerberus, which had been turned into a forbidden area. [Lin Sen has given a new name to his special version of Corina Q7]

The journey home is 5,700 kilometers long, and it takes more than two hours to reach the maximum speed at midnight.

However, Lin Sen was not in such a hurry.

On the way, he first talked to Chenguang and them, and when he learned that they were going well and were about to return home, Lin Sen's hanging heart was also relieved.

But when the uncle heard that Lin Sen was going to take Chen Lan with him, the two of them were immediately unhappy when they went to Cerberus, and asked Lin Sen to come back and fly with him over and over again.

However, Lin Sen was more accustomed to an environment with few people, so he politely refused.

Before approaching the destination, Lin Sen and Chen Lan recalibrated the precautions that Manni had explained before leaving.

The first is the event time.

Because Cerberus is currently surrounded by extremely volatile electromagnetic storms, the daily time of action is limited, and the specific time period is determined based on the day's storm data.

Generally speaking, the time for safe action is about 4-5 hours a day, and the rest of the time Mannie recommends staying in the middle of the night and not trying to go toe-to-toe with an electromagnetic storm that can destroy everything.

Then there is the course of action.

Although Lin Sen had lived outside the walls of Cerberus for fifteen years, the world inside the Wall of Sighs was still extremely foreign to Lin Sen, so for the sake of safety, Lin Sen's course of action was planned until other exact data was collected.

His first stop will be the starting point of the entire "repertoire".

The 13th Media Building of the Coalition Government is located in the ruins of the upper city northwest of Daken City.

According to the over-range scanning monitoring a day ago, there is no trace of the enemy around the building so far, and it is relatively safe, but Lin Sen needs to pass through a ruin area that is two hundred and fifteen kilometers long, which is full of unstable energy vortices and roaming alien mechanical creatures.

"Mannie said that this section of the road was originally part of the mid-level urban structure, and after the final battle, it has been completely reduced to ruins, and if we go on foot, we can directly reach the first target point, but it will take too long and there are too many variables, so I plan to send us directly above the first target point at midnight, and then we will go straight down from the top, what do you think?" Lin Sen calmly analyzed the situation of the route.

Chen Lan had no opinion on this, he nodded and said, "I listen to Brother Sen." ”

Lin Sen smiled when he heard this: "We are companions who were born and died together, if there is anything wrong, you must say it, but you can't listen to me." ”

Chen Lan also smiled: "It's okay, I believe Brother Sen." ”

"Huh...... Okay, let's just decide it first, and when we get to the place, we'll revise it if there are any changes. ”

"Okay."

The last note is the purpose of the action.

At first, Lin Sen thought it was a simple rescue operation, but the night before leaving, Amy found Lin Sen and told him another combat significance of returning to Cerberus.

That is to try to reach the first type of contact with the enemy's Axial Thinking Body.

"I'm ashamed...... A bunch of us thought we had made such a big fuss in Cerberus and killed so many people...... In the end, we don't know who the enemy really is, so I want you to go this time, if you can, to find the real answer. Amy's tone was full of self-reproach, and her pride was probably lost in this way.

Lin Sen's account of what happened to Cerberus is still stuck in Amy's retelling, and many details are not so perfect, so Lin Sen has prepared for the worst early.

Regarding this worst-case plan, Lin Sen also told Chen Lan.

However, Chen Lan's reply was very simple: "My life was given by Brother Sen, it doesn't matter to me where I die, as long as I don't die." ”

Most of the other precautions are related to the natural situation after the fall of Cerberus, including the original artificial weather structure of the Cerberus Dome, which was completely out of control at the time of the fall, so the current weather phenomenon inside Cerberus is a complete mess, maybe you are walking on a sunny street here, and suddenly the wind blows after a few steps, and then it snows.

Snow isn't the worst, it's the lightning storm simulation......

Regarding this simulation, Lin Sen felt very unbelievable as soon as he heard it...... Are humans really idle and have nothing to do? Why add such catastrophic weather simulation data to the artificial weather framework? You think life is too good, right......

complained and complained, Lin Sen still honestly recorded it in his heart.

In the end, it can be summed up in one point, this trip to Cerberus is definitely a journey of death and death.

……

At 10 a.m. on January 6, 104, the midnight mind core woke up Lin Sen from a nap.

"You have arrived near your destination, please be ready to land."

Lin Sen opened his eyes, and then he was stunned for the first time.

Because of the sight in front of you......

"The current position is eleven kilometers away from the target location, the height is five hundred and twenty-one meters, and the wind speed is ten knots."

"Let's stop here for now." Lin Sen looked at the bleak scene in the distance, and the trembling in his heart had reached the point of horror.

"Okay."

At this time, Chen Lan also woke up, and his appearance after waking up was very similar to Lin Sen, or even more exaggerated.

"Oh my God...... Over here...... What the hell has gone through......" Chen Lan's voice was trembling, and he came to the cab at midnight, scanning the past little by little through the ultra-distance vision module.

Saw......

In that distant place, a pure white mast with a dome structure like an umbrella cover tilted more than seventy degrees fell in the darkness of the storm, as if the pillars supporting the heavens and the earth had fallen, and even if it did, its immensely magnificent body still could not be seen, its foundations were still deep in the earth, and its commanding heights were still buried deep in the clouds.

Under the storm, the wall of sighs, which was more than 120 meters high and 55 meters wide at its narrowest point, was now devastated, and many places had been destroyed, and the remaining scars showed the world how terrible the destruction it had suffered.

If, when he first got Cerberus's panoramic model, Lin Sen thought it was a small circle, a small courtyard-like place, now he knows that his imagination is too narrow......

It is indeed a small circle from the starry sky, but that small circle once inhabited 120 million people and ten new century metropolises with more than 5 million people.

But now, it's a barren land...... It's still that far away...... But it already makes people feel a huge sense of depression and death......

"Let's go, Midnight." Lin Sen turned off the ultra-distance vision module and pulled the speed to the maximum.

Soon, Lin Sen was back at the home he had looked forward to countless times over the past few months.

Although the wall of surveillance has been completely destroyed, and the wall of sighs is mottled, what Lin Sen didn't expect was that the home where he had lived for fifteen years was still basically retained in its original appearance......

"The initial stage of the exercise has been completed, and the current period is suitable for operation, and no threat signals have been detected within the security range." Midnight dutifully carried out its work.

Lin Sen nodded, then opened the hatch.

The air outside the cabin was very turbid, and Lin Sen had no choice but to drop his mask.

Pushing open the small wooden door of the courtyard, the vegetation in the courtyard has been completely polluted by the turbid air into pitch-black plastic.

But to be able to see these familiar things again, Lin Sen still sighed.

"Did Brother Sen live here before?" Chen Lan followed Lin Sen into the house, and he found that this house, which didn't look gorgeous on the outside, was very carefully decorated inside, especially the kitchen that was transformed from a thinking chariot.

"Yes." Lin Sen wiped the dust off the table, and the crystal screen on the surface of the table was still working.

"This is? Sister Lin Yan? Although Chen Lan had never seen Lin Yan, he immediately guessed when he saw a few people smiling on the screen.

Lin Sen didn't speak, he looked at the photo, the corners of his lips rose, and then silently collected these precious data.

At the end of the collection, Lin Sen accidentally found a letterhead written a few months ago.

After hurriedly opening and looking at the opening, Lin Sen's eyes turned red......

"Assen...... Arya is willing to help us, but I know the character of you and Cher, you would never agree to such a charity, but now I can't lose more, so ...... I ended up contacting Alya...... Now, I'm going to take Cher with Arya, and she agrees to help us recreate the Lin family's classical music...... Hopefully my decision is not wrong...... I...... In fact...... Sam...... If you're still alive...... I ......" the picture came to an abrupt end here...... Lin Yan couldn't suppress her emotions, she knew that this expectation was nothing more than a naïve fantasy...... So the letter that was originally left to Lin Sen was not really completed.

But it's enough.

Lin Sen put the letter away and said softly, "Let's go, let's go inside and have a look." ”

……

The heavy rock and poured steel made the Wall of Sighs once the strongest defense system of mankind, and it once preserved the fire of civilization for mankind in its most desperate moments, and completely blocked the invasion of xenomorphs.

But now, the indestructible it has also fallen.

Lin Sen walked forward and took about five minutes to reach the interior of Cerberus, which he had once dreamed of.

As soon as I came in, the vision in front of me suddenly opened up a lot.

And...... Even though it has fallen, and the once prosperous and rich city has been reduced to withered dead wood, its grandeur remains.

"I'd love to see what it looked like before it fell." Chen Lan looked at the turbulent man-made ocean in the distance, as well as the tilted axial mast, and said with regret.
