Chapter 186: The Collapse of the Space City

The crystal warhead still has a huge kinetic energy after penetrating Xingyao City, and it flies rapidly into the void behind Space City under inertia, and the surface of the warhead is not worn, exactly the same as before it was exploded and launched, and the surface is still smooth as a blood-red mirror, but now this blood red is mixed with real blood. The area pierced by the front was smeared with a large amount of ice crystals, formed by the liquid leaking from the destroyed pipe network, drinking water, sewage, and blood, and the people living in these areas were smashed into a pulp before they could react, I don't know if they were lucky, they didn't have time to feel a little pain at this high speed.

The volume of Star City is too large, compared to that warhead, it is like a giant, even such a powerful blow is difficult to pose a threat to this space city, just like shooting through an adult with a strand of hair, such a small wound is difficult to cause damage, and it is even difficult to be detected, but the crystal warhead accurately hit the "heart" area of Star City, and the damage to the central power system is like a human heart being penetrated, even a small wound is enough to be fatal.

To be precise, Xingyao City was not destroyed by this warhead, but by itself, the central core has stopped driving, but the habitation ring adsorbed in the outer layer is still moving under the action of inertia, and soon the entire space city will be torn apart in its own rotation, this process will last dozens of hours, for the billions of people living in the space city, it will also be hellish for dozens of hours, maybe many of them will envy those who died at the moment of the attack, for people, the most painful thing is not death, It's a process of knowing that there is no escape, and desperately dying under the survival instinct.

At this time, the earthquake spreading everywhere in the space city is not the impact of the warhead, but the sign that the space city is disintegrating itself, and the junction of each habitation ring is vibrating violently, tearing each other and resisting each other, this loss of control, the largest machine built by mankind is heading for the fate of collapse.

At this time, everyone didn't know what was going on, even Xingyao City** was confused, originally they thought that the central drive system had failed, or was attacked by an extremist organization, during this time, the underground organization activities in the ring became more and more rampant, but when the task force arrived at the fault point, they were shocked by what they saw, and the flanks of the central drive system were opened with a large hole with a diameter of nearly 100 meters...... It's really not a good idea to describe it as a hole, because it's an extra-long tunnel through Starlight City, and everything in the tunnel is gone, including the components of the drivetrain.

Like an almost impossible task to repair it, a destruction of this magnitude is impossible to repair in a few months, not to mention that they simply don't have so much time, not even a tenth of the time, due to the shutdown of the central system, what will happen next in Space City, everyone knows in their hearts, what can be done now...... I'm afraid there's only one left, in order to keep as many people alive as possible......

"Headquarters, headquarters, this is Emergency Task Force 32 of Sector 3, we have reached the underground damage point, the central drive system has been damaged beyond repair, the damage is being uploaded, and the report is complete." A task force maintenance personnel in a professional protective suit was holding a communicator, his whole body was trembling, standing in the pierced bullet holes of Space City, he felt an indescribable fear, what could cause such damage, although Star City does not have any outer defense system now, but after all, the size is there, and the weapon can do this...... It's even unimaginable.

"Also receive data, according to the report of you and the other twenty-five task forces, to confirm the action plan, the emergency maintenance plan is canceled, after urgent deliberation at the highest joint meeting of Star City, we have decided to activate the second emergency plan instead, all task forces please rush to the nearest power transmission point, lock all the power systems that are still fully functional, this is the highest order, have the highest priority, over."

The voice in the communicator was very clear, but when they heard it in their ears, the task force felt a burst of tinnitus, as if they had heard a ridiculous auditory hallucination, and the second emergency plan ...... Although when they saw this wound, they guessed that things would develop like this, but when they really had to carry it out with their own hands, everyone felt a sense of guilt that they couldn't bear.

"Again, this is the highest order, and everyone must carry it out at all costs......"

"Action!"

The task force captain standing at the front of everyone shouted helplessly, put away the communicator and grabbed the bracket of the power bone with both hands, and rushed to the front first, ordinary people can't move at all in this environment, the gravity of the space city is generated by its own rotation, but the central system has stopped, and the residual rotational force will be smaller and smaller, in other words, the gravity in the entire space city is getting smaller and smaller, and the closer they get to the center, the gravity on their bodies will become smaller and smaller, and countless garbage residues float in low gravity, Most of them were metal debris from the impact of the warhead, which struck the Task Force on their visors as they moved quickly, leaving long scratches in their wake.

The heart of the space city is not completely damaged, but it can no longer bear such a large burden after the damage, what they have to do is to quickly unload all the burdens before the central system is dragged down, and what are those burdens? It was the residential ring that was later installed outside the Star City, including the middle ring and the outer ring, that inhabited a giant residential area of at least four billion people!

At this time, chaos and fear are spreading in the residential ring, Xingyao City** and the media are trying their best to suppress this emotion, but the huge shaking just now can't hide the past, the continuous aftershocks continue to occur in the residential ring, and a large number of people begin to move closer to the center, because they know that at this time, only the most central area is safe, more and more people converge into the tide, the police force is gradually unstoppable, Xingyao City** has no choice but to discharge the army to suppress, gave a death order to guard the entrance to the inner ring, more and more passes** broke out violent conflicts, fear forced some people to start violently attacking the defense line, and the army guarding the pass did not hesitate to choose to fire, and the social system that Xingyao City tried to maintain collapsed in an instant.

First of all, we must live, everyone thinks like this, survival is the premise of everything, and it is the first element of life.
