Chapter 131: An Army of One Man (6)
Zhao Gao's boots stepped on the terrazzo floor, and the sound of his footsteps reverberated through the empty hall.
He was a little surprised, the moment he stepped into the Jin Mao Tower, he almost thought that he had returned to the era when the apocalyptic crisis had not yet erupted, where time stopped flowing, and the Jin Mao Tower was still the center of this bustling city, so the golden lights were shining.
The chandelier overhead casts the shadow of youth on the floor, the flowerbeds on both sides are lined with verdant and neatly trimmed plants, the escalators run silently and slowly, the cosmetic billboards on the walls glow white, and large posters of Angelina Jolie and Anne Hathaway are plastered on tall light boxes. Zhao Gao didn't know how much effort the Night King had put into maintaining and repairing this building, everything here carried the shadow of the era of civilization, luxurious, brilliant, and high, like the last relic left in that era.
People born after the apocalyptic era refer to the era before the outbreak of the virus as the "era of civilization", and the survivors always marvel at the beautiful years when they recall, and those born after the apocalyptic era can hardly imagine the world before the crisis, the cities swept by the virus are full of zombies and death, and there are no more jewelry, red wine and perfume.
The Jin Mao Tower is the last outstanding work of human civilization, like a beautiful work of art, even the Night King is amazed by its grandeur and splendor.
Zhao Gao went upstairs step by step, his feet on the stairs, and there was a dead silence in the hall.
The atmosphere is eerie, everything is working normally, the escalators are slowly turning, there is even a Christmas tree in the corner, the neon lights on the tree are flashing in all colors, and the big screen on the wall is playing advertisements in a loop, but there is no figure here, everything is silent, like a silent film in color.
There are two special sightseeing elevators in the Jin Mao Building, which can go directly to the eighty-eighth floor from the first basement, it only takes forty-five seconds, and it is the fastest to reach the top of the building through this road, Zhao Gao didn't know if the two high-speed elevators were still useful, he decided to take a look.
Zhao Gao glanced up at the top of his head, he knew that at this moment, that monster was three hundred and forty meters above his head, and there were still three hundred and forty meters left before the end of this war.
The mission of the Assassin team is to drag the Night King all the way, so that the latter can not be distracted to deal with the rescue team, this plan was proposed by Zhao Gao, he persuaded the academy that if the Night King intervenes to hinder the rescue operation, then the whole plan will be ruined, and the survivors and rescuers will be wiped out, so someone must take action to attract the attention of the Night King, and only Zhao Gao himself can do this.
Actually, it's just a faΓ§ade.
Zhao Gao knew that a monster like the Night King didn't actually care about the life and death of the survivors, and he didn't bother to care about the actions of the Academy, he was the kind of person who didn't even want to take a second look at things that he wasn't interested in, and the Night King was not interested in the actions of the Academy. All of this is the RPG game he designed, the life and death drama he designed, in his opinion, except for the brave and the demon king, all the other characters are NPCs, how can players care about the life and death of a group of NPCs?
Therefore, the Night King will not interfere with the rescue plan of the Academy, he is the Demon King, and the Demon King should sit in the deepest part of the palace and wait for the brave to push the door in.
At this point, Zhao Gao and the Night King have the same attitude, they just need an environment that allows the two to face each other without anyone interfering.
Zhao Gao is a brave man, and a brave man should push open the door alone.
Since it is going to end, it should end beautifully and cleanly.
One more person is not a perfect ending.
Zhao Gao pressed the elevator up button, the red numbers lit up, the transparent glass door moved to both sides, and the young man stepped into the sightseeing elevator.
Distance Zhao Gao to the battlefield...... Forty seconds to go.

Lu Xun sat in the driver's seat of the Humvee off-road vehicle, he is the leader of the hostage rescue team, once the rescue team is out of the communication range of the academy, he will have full authority to command the rescue operation, this responsibility should not have fallen on his head, but now there are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains to dominate the king, middle-aged people have become bait, Zhao Gao has become an assassin, the veterans of the executive department have all been wiped out, Luo Cheng is disabled Fei Bizhi is disabled, Belle is panicked, the storm is silent, Lei He is unorganized and undisciplined, it seems that the only one who can take on this heavy responsibility, Only the Land Patrol remains.
Speaking of Lu Xun, he is actually not so vegetable, he has studied with Zhao Gao's madman for a year, from the infected to the killer, he has seen all kinds of battles, large and small, in the eyes of the Luo Pu public, he is simply a good man killed from the zombie pile, unconsciously, Lu Xun has gradually jumped to the safety zone "The most worthy of lifelong man list" Tanhua, the evaluation is "introverted and reliable, and he is simply a good man at home", usually a young girl will come over to talk to him during dinner.
It's just that the hummingbird hunting team is a bunch of monsters, and Lu Xun has lived between a group of humanoid Godzilla for a long time, which dwarfs it, like a rookie.
Lu Xun naturally didn't know that he had such a high status in the eyes of the girls, he was a defeated dog in front of the director, and he came and went as soon as he was called.
Lu Xun looked down at his watch, the time had reached 7:30, the bait team had been set off for a long time, according to the original plan, the bait team would lure the hunters away from the forbidden area at this time, and then the rescue team would follow up, try to make it seamless, without wasting a minute.
But the Academy's directive hasn't come down yet.
"Do you think Zhao Gao can defeat the Night King?" Belle asked suddenly.
Lu Xun hesitated for a moment, "I've never seen Zhao Gao's madman fail. β
"But he had failed twice before the Night King." Belle turned her head to look out the window, "He might die in this battle?" Aren't you worried? β
"Death is death, his kind of scourge dies early, and he is born early." Lu Xun shrugged, "That bastard should have died a long time ago, and it was best to die with the Night King, so that there would be two less scourges in the world." There is a text in a Chinese primary school called "Removing the Three Evils Around the World", have you heard of it? It's about a bully named Zhou, who did all kinds of evil in the township, and the villagers dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, so they instigated him to fight tigers and kill dragons, and wanted him to die with those scourges......"
Lu Xun chattered, and Belle interrupted him.
"Tell the truth."
"That's the truth."
The girl turned her head to look at him directly, and Lu Xun looked innocent.
"Do you really think so?" Belle asked, "You really don't care about Zhao Gao's life or death?" β
Lu Xun was stunned and was silent for a long time.
He ...... I don't care if lemon lives or dies. β
Belle was taken aback, and her voice lowered, "Sanwu's death is not Zhao Gao's responsibility. β
"I didn't say it was his responsibility...... It's just that he doesn't care about anyone at all, and the colonel that the Night King pretended to be is right about one thing, that is, Zhao Gao has long been blinded by hatred, and he only wants to kill the Night King to take revenge, for which he can pay any price, even if he does not hesitate to ruin the future of all mankind, in essence, he and the Night King are the same kind of creatures. "Both he and the Night King will eventually destroy the world, so the best outcome is ...... It was these two who died together. β
Belle froze, she looked at Lu Xun in a daze, speechless for a long time.
"You're kind of like a colonel."
Lu Xun raised his eyebrows, "Where is it like?" β
"It's just as cold-blooded."
