“……”

“……”

Several people led by Angelina suddenly fell silent slightly, probably not expecting to get such an answer.

However, it seems that it is also a matter of course, according to the prophecy of the prophet, tonight will be the prelude to an all-out war between mankind and the "alien demons", which will be extremely cruel and tragic, and it is foreseeable that countless people will be sacrificed.

Perhaps the entire base will be destroyed, and the vast majority of the population will not be able to escape, and will die tonight.

Truth be told, if they don't leave the base before and choose to stay, basically these people need to understand one thing, and that is that they are likely to die tonight.

Everyone is like this, this is a thing that everyone knows, maybe after tonight, they will have no tomorrow, they will never be able to return to their hometown, they will not be able to see their relatives and familiar scenery.

"Xiaoxue, I heard that you should have been just an ordinary student before, right?"

After a moment's hesitation, Angelina stared at the Chinese girl in front of her and asked, she was a little curious, or should I say a little incomprehensible-

"And you are not God's chosen one than your friend, why...... Why insist on staying tonight? You don't have that responsibility, do you? ”

“……”

“……”

"This ...... Can I start by asking, why did you persevere? Xiao Xue hesitated for a moment, then pursed her lips, stared at the woman in front of her and asked very seriously.

For this question, she couldn't answer it for a while, and she really couldn't understand what these people in front of her were for, so desperate to sacrifice their lives and forget about death.

Because during this time, this base has been attacked by "alien demons" several times, and each time it is more and more dangerous, but the people of these organizations have blocked them, and there are even two times when the situation is particularly critical.

Those "alien demons" had already rushed into the hospital, but those soldiers were stunned to block the road with their own lives, and they really used human lives to fill in the problem, and finally solved the problem. No one flinched, no one complained, these were the scenes she had witnessed.

Therefore, Xiaoxue has no way to understand what these people are fighting for, and why they are persevering.

"Me? Of course I'm for what I believe...... I firmly believe that this is God's test for humanity, and I don't want us to fail in this test. ”

Angelina smiled slightly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and her eyes seemed to have some kind of pious and holy light flickering, fully reflecting what "faith" is.

"So I will contribute my strength, my will, my life to this holy war...... I firmly believe that this is the purpose of my existence, the way I choose to live! ”

"That's it......" Xiaoxue's heart couldn't help but be slightly touched, is this the reason why these people insist?

Of course, she herself does not have such a firm belief, but because of the shattered worldview, she has a certain instinctive, intuitive and unreasonable doubt about the reality of this world.

But the reason why she insisted on staying now was not because of any faith, but because she felt that she had to...... That's right, that's what you have to do, it's what you have to do.

Because during this time, she often has strange and bizarre dreams, which seem to be another familiar and strange world.

She didn't know exactly what happened, but she always felt like the self in the dream who betrayed someone, and the other party never forgave herself, and gradually drifted apart, and finally the two became characters in two different worlds, and never intersected again......

It's a dream, but it feels very real, and that trace of guilt will accumulate after every dream awakening, and even make the girl wonder if she is communicating the records of parallel worlds in the dream.

"What about you, Xiaoxue?" Angelina asked casually while skillfully moving on the tower and quickly assembling and fixing a hideous-looking machine gun with a few other people.

Her language talent is obviously very good, and she speaks Chinese fluently and smoothly, but she is not an authentic Chinese after all, so she still has a hint of the awkward taste of foreigners speaking Chinese.

"I'm because—"

The girl came back to her senses, thought about it quite seriously, and then took a deep breath and was about to answer.

Boom ——!!

At that moment, a loud bang, as if there had been a violent explosion somewhere, interrupted her words.

Not only did Xiaoxue subconsciously turn her head to look, but even a few people who were half-squatting on the floor of the tower stood up suddenly, looked in that direction with a serious expression, and saw a fireball rushing straight into the night sky.

"Everyone, the holy war has begun......"

Angelina muttered.

As her words fell, gunshots began to rang out, and the entire base was moved by the wind and went crazy...... The noise of the huge propellers, the helicopter in the airport not far away took off directly.

The pillars of various dazzling searchlights were shining in all directions.

The shrill sirens also sounded, and there were red warning lights flickering wildly everywhere around the entire base, all kinds of shouts, roars, and rapid running sounds, and the scene instantly became chaotic.

"Quick! Get down there and go to the hospital! ”

Angelina grabbed Xiaoxue and said seriously.

"You can't help much here, go to your friend at once, and if you can, you'd better wake her up...... If you can't, get out of here with her! ”

"Huh?" The girl couldn't react for a while, just stared at her blankly, and her brain was almost blank.

And that's where it begins?

This is where the war began?!

She thought she was ready and could accept it, but when it did, she realized that she wasn't ready for the catastrophe at all.

At this time-

Rumble!!

The tower they were on suddenly shook, as if something had slammed down on it, making it look like it was shaking.

"Ah——!!h

Xiaoxue subconsciously screamed, and stumbled under her feet and lost her balance! Fortunately, Angelina next to her was quick and grabbed her arm, so she didn't fall directly off the guardrail at the edge of the tower.

The next moment, there was a harsh sound of metal grinding and tearing.

The dome above was forcibly torn apart by something, it was a pair of huge claws, and the claws seemed to grow into the wings in one piece!

In the midst of that long, high-pitched, shrill scream, the behemoth tore open the dome through a huge crack and poked its head in. It was a huge eagle-like head, larger than a human body, with fierce eyes and a pointed beak-like beak.

Not to mention its great strength, its claws and beak are extremely sharp, and its movements are as fast as lightning.

It ignored all the others and attacked Angelina suddenly, just like the "alien" who always had a containment on his body and was alive as a living containment in his eyes.

But Angelina's reaction speed was extremely fast, and she rolled directly on the ground with Xiaoxue in her arms, avoiding the attack of this thing. And the sharp beak immediately pecked a large hole in the solid floor of the tower.

Bang!

Bang bang! Bang bang bang!

But in the next second, a fierce gunfire had already sounded, but it was the other people who reacted quickly, picked up their weapons and set fire to the monster that attacked the tower where they were.

A sharp shrill cry sounded, feathers fell, blood splattered, and flesh was instantly beaten into a blur.

This behemoth was deprived of its life in an instant, and its heavy body lost its supporting strength, and it fell directly from the top of the tower to the bottom!

Boom!

After a second or two, there was a heavy crash, and a dull slight vibration.

"This is what those demons really are? It's the first time I've actually seen them, and they look like so-called griffins......"

Angelina let out a long breath, and in the glance she had just made, she could clearly see the general shape of the monster. It was a half-lion, half-eagle hybrid creature.

Definitely not a normal species that can be bred in the ecological circle on Earth, maybe these are the true colors of the so-called alien demons? They're finally no longer stealthy and can be seen directly?

However, the power of the guns is as strong as ever, and it can still kill these damn things directly, so it's not a big problem.

One of the several people was injured, but it was not life-threatening, and at this time, it was not the time for everyone to rush forward and care. Therefore, Angelina did not stop, but decisively seized this opportunity to leave the tower with Xiaoxue.

When they hit the ground, the two of them were able to feel the chaos of the base more fully, and it was obvious that it was spreading rapidly.

Gunshots, fires, and fires appeared in all directions.

In addition to the high-speed movement of the helicopter's propellers, there was a long, high-pitched scream, and the fluttering of wings of some giant creature.

A cursory glance at the two of them was enough to tell that the griffon-like monster was flying around in the sky, looking for opportunities to cull ground targets, and the number was completely incalculable.

I don't even know where they came from, without warning.

Not to mention Xiaoxue, even Angelina, who is determined and pious, was a little distracted for a while, she didn't doubt her determination, but she just had a sad view of the next result.

- The attack of the demons was already so fierce at the beginning that the base would never be able to be saved.

They had no chance of winning, so they had to transfer the Savior...... Anyone can be sacrificed, and all the members of the organization who remain at Al Qaeda today have decided to sacrifice themselves, but the Savior must not have an accident!

Thinking so, she led Xiaoxue straight through the chaotic base and went straight in the direction of the hospital.

Shootings, explosions, fires, shouting, roaring, howling, buildings collapsing, helicopter crashes......

The base has completely turned into a chaotic battlefield, with bullets and artillery flying everywhere and turmoil. Xiaoxue couldn't think at all, she just ran with Angelina in a daze, and the members of the organization she met on the way were very tacit, and they forgot their lives to help them and help them open the way.

It seems like a long, long time, about a century, and it seems like only a short time, about a few minutes.

Sensing that Angelina had stopped, Xiaoxue raised her head a little dazedly and found that she had come to the parking lot in front of the hospital.

However, things don't seem right here, it's too quiet compared to the chaos in the rest of the base...... Suddenly, Angelina, who had a sudden sense of vigilance, had some kind of omen.

The next moment, she was already extremely agile and grabbed the head of the girl next to her, and pressed the other party down!

The moment the two of them lay on the ground, a scorching ray visible to the naked eye swept straight from front of them, passing above them. Everywhere they passed, the sturdy buildings were instantly burned and cut open, revealing a deep mark of melting.

"Good response......" a gentle, mellow male voice sounded.

In all fairness, this is not something to be surprised about, but at this moment, Angelina's heart is surging with turbulent waves-

Do demons speak? Do they also have wisdom?
