"How's it going?"

"It's still like that, the vital signs are completely normal, but it's still asleep."

"It's weird, go ask the dean."

Two nurses in white robes whispered, squeezed out of the intensive care room, and trotted past the Grim Reaper.

The hologram at the door was marked with a sign prohibiting visits, and the Grim Reaper could only hold it at the door, watching his former friend through the heavy bulletproof glass.

The medical center's bell has already struck fourteen.

"It's time to go." Wu Liao reminded softly behind the Grim Reaper.

The Grim Reaper nodded silently, turned around without saying a word, and walked in front.

At the suggestion of Ye Shuo and General Reynolds, today is the day of the government hearing.

The military will discuss what the Reaper team has seen and heard in Habitat 021, as well as the major changes in the cyborg world, to determine the choices of humanity.

In the center of the bunker in Optics Valley, an inconspicuous European-style building stands quietly in the center of the square.

There are no suggestive plaques hanging here, but it is evident from the daily frequency of military members that it has a unique place in the Optics Valley bunker.

The central square, which used to be crowded with people, has now been completely under martial law, and spaceships are constantly hovering and falling into the tarmac of the government affairs hall at low altitude.

The soldiers in full gear were lying behind the yellow barrier, and they were trying to maintain order around the venue.

"Hello! What kind of event is taking place today? ”

"I am a reporter from Optics Valley Daily, and what will today's meeting do about the future trend of the human world?"

"This is a reporter from HUBC, and we will be at the front of the venue to bring the latest news to our fellow human beings who are watching."

Huge broadcast ships were parked around the streets, and reporters armed with long guns and short guns flooded the quarantine area.

The reporters were constantly squeezed forward by their peers behind them, and even the soldiers behind the isolation zone were constantly squeezed backwards by the crowd.

"Your spokesperson is invited to speak!"

"We, the media, want to restore the most real world to the masses!"

"The people have the right to know, and I hope you can cooperate!"

The venue became more and more noisy, and at one point fell into an uncontrollable stage, and there was a constant influx of journalists.

In a world dominated by the media, the media's ability to regulate has exceeded society's expectations, and the military has lost control over the field.

A jet-black spaceship quietly rowed into the venue, quietly landed behind the cordon, and came to a steady stop.

The spacecraft was hoisted with an orange military badge, and all the reporters quickly turned around and rushed over when they saw this scene.

"Click!" Two soft noises were heard, the hatch of the spaceship slowly fell, and General Renault walked out with a gloomy face.

He slowly walked to the cordon, and the soldiers on both sides spread out like a tide to both sides.

"General Renault! What do you think about this? ”

"General Renault, is there really a war between Sky City and Hailing City?"

The reporters began to ask questions again, and all the cameras were focused on General Renault.

Renault was taken aback by these two sentences, these news had obviously been blocked, and even most of the military and political leaders who came to the meeting were ignorant of it, let alone these media who deliberately avoided it.

The voices around him grew louder and louder, and he couldn't help but frown.

He waved his hand lightly, signaling the reporters present to be quiet, but in such a chaotic scene, many reporters in the back row could not even see his movements.

"Quiet!" Renault let out a deep roar, and the sound slammed into everyone's ears through the speakers around the square.

After this sound, the scene was much quieter.

It may also be General Renault's usual tough attitude, and the reporters did not dare to touch this mold in a panic, and they all quieted down first.

General Reynolds' gaze swept over the reporters in the front row, and he coughed lightly twice.

"I don't know who got you this kind of news, but I want to clarify from the military's position that the news of the declaration of war between Sky City and Hailing City is purely false."

There were bursts of exclamations from the crowd, and all major media organizations had temporarily received reminders of unfamiliar signals today, and now they were a little overwhelmed by General Renault's explanation.

A sweet-looking reporter squeezed out of the crowd with a nameplate engraved on the microphone in her hand.

"May I ask General Reynolds, since there are such major events from time to time, why is there martial law around the government affairs hall? Is there anything you are hiding? ”

After the HUBC reporter finished speaking, all the people fell silent, which was also the doubt in their hearts.

General Renault's face was a little gloomy again, indeed, it is rare for the government hall to be under martial law like this.

Some thoughts quickly flashed through his mind, and General Renaud took a few steps forward, and he tore the barrier in front of him with his own hands and stood next to the female reporter.

"Today's event is to commemorate the soldiers who have lost their lives in the hunting operations of the Military and Hunters' Association over the years! The cordon around the venue is just to ensure that these heroic spirits can return home as soon as possible. ”

The female reporter paused for a moment, then immediately responded with a new one.

She put the microphone to General Renault's mouth: "Then may I ask, since it is such a commemorative event, why didn't you notify the media in advance?" Wouldn't it be more convenient to motivate humanity to survive in the last days? ”

Renault's brows had been twisted into a Sichuan shape, his eyes were wide with anger, and his face was a little red.

He snatched the microphone from the reporter's hand and said loudly to the camera.

"I don't know who's behind these little moves!" General Reynolds took a deep breath:

"However, today, we just hope that the Heroic Spirits can have a good rest, and after that, we will hold a special press conference to explain today's behavior."

General Renault twisted his head to the female reporter, and a contemptuous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Once I find out about these rumor-mongers, what awaits you is the court's arraignment. ”

After speaking, he secretly exerted force in his hand, and the entire microphone was directly pinched by his huge power and exploded in all directions, scattered all over the ground.

He turned around neatly and whispered to the soldier beside him, "Be careful to maintain order, you don't need to answer any questions." ”

After that, he returned to the spaceship, he was the manager of this meeting, and it was past the opening time, and he had to rush back to the government affairs hall as soon as possible.

The soldiers really withdrew the cordon a little back, and after General Renault's suggestion, the order on the scene had been greatly improved compared with before.

Despite this, none of the journalists left, and they remained on the front lines of journalism.

The conference room of the government affairs hall is located on the third basement floor.

Even in the bunker thousands of meters deep, the high-level people of the human world still put the conference room in the safest place.

In order to avoid a repeat of the tragedy of 19 years ago, almost all electronic devices are cut off here, and even the signals are blocked except for the most basic light sources.

Before entering the venue, it will be verified by the military directly under the government affairs hall, all electronic equipment will be temporarily stored, and the recording tools in the venue will be converted to more classical paper and pen.

The podium is located in the center of the venue, surrounded by folded walls, and the special theater-like structure allows sound to be transmitted to every corner of the venue even without the use of loudspeakers.

Circle and Ovilla were one of the important witnesses to Habitat 021, and after many consultations by General Renault, the council finally decided on their admission.

Diamond-shaped ceiling lights hung on the roof of the venue, and all the soldiers stood in full gear next to the soundproof doors on all sides.

Thousands of chairs were already densely packed with people, and their uniforms were also different.

Most of them were soldiers, and the rest were commanders from various medium-sized and large bunkers, and many leaders of the Hunters' Guild were also involved.

The fixed objects on each person's table are uniformly distributed by the government affairs hall.

A small pile of white paper, a plain ink pen, a bottle of purified water, and a jammer to block the signal.

The people in the hall who knew each other on a daily basis were talking in whispers, and they still didn't know what the purpose of the meeting was.

"Quiet." The Speaker of the Human World Council, Ye Li stood up, he was a middle-aged man who looked quite stern, and he looked exactly like Ye Shuo.

He was dressed in a straight light blue military uniform, with five gold stars shining on epaulettes.

His gaze swept across the room like an eagle, and the previous chattering stopped.

Compared with General Renault, who is not angry and arrogant, Ye Li is a little more convincing, and just standing there gives people a feeling worth following.

"The meeting has begun, and I would like to ask General Reynolds to tell you about the purpose of this meeting."

With that, General Renault sat down slowly, bowing his head and pondering something.

Sitting next to him was Ye Shuo with an excited face, who had been looking forward to making achievements, and today was the best opportunity.

General Renault hurriedly entered, and it had taken a lot of time to entangle with reporters outside the field, and he didn't even have time to sit down and take a break, so he opened his mouth directly.

"Sky City and Hailing City are at war."

General Renault went straight to the point, and threw out the bombshell news directly at the beginning, not surprisingly, the audience suddenly boiled.

As the leaders of the human world, they naturally understand what this news means.

General Reynolds pressed his hands down twice, and the room fell silent again.

"The theme of today's meeting is simple." General Reynolds paused, his gaze sweeping across the chamber.

"At such a time, the fate of humanity is in your hands."

General Renault took two steps forward, his lips slightly open: "Is it to wait for the robots to completely wipe out humanity after they really form a unified regime, or take this opportunity to fight." ”

General Reynaud sat down with his arms crossed, and four ancient televisions covered the rostrum, falling into the eyes of everyone in the room.
