738 Sacrifice
With a muffled sound, the fifteen-ton dandelion war machine suddenly fell to the ground from the rubble, and the moment it fell to the ground, its cannon chamber exploded. Shrapnel penetrates inside. And the combustion depletes the oxygen inside, extinguishing the vitality of the driver inside the cockpit.
As the energy operating inside the tool increases, so does the danger of losing control.
Shang Heng looked at the fallen machinery and the cloud of dust smashed on the ground. Shang Heng nervously held a breath in his chest and slowly spit it out.
Shang Heng is familiar with the gun turret of this armored car, and roughly speculated about its internal ammunition feeding system and loading system. So the ability was activated.
For this Dandelion fighter, Shang Heng has a lot of puzzles, most of the structure inside the entire body Shang Heng knows nothing, but if it is only destruction, as long as it understands some points. Doctors need to understand the structure of the human body in their entirety, while murderers only need to memorize vital parts.
As Shang Heng expected in his speculation about the future, the Dandelion fighter with the cannon raised exploded in the self-destruction of the interior of Shang Heng's construction. Although Shang Heng made a clear idea. It was almost 100% expected that this dandelion fighter would be destroyed by itself.
But throughout the whole process, Shang Heng has not been full of confidence, but has maintained a high degree of nervous observation. I didn't dare to breathe a sigh of relief until I had created reality based on the actions I had speculated.
After making a move, he quickly withdrew his eyes from his opponent's side, ignoring his opponent's follow-up, and calmly waiting for his opponent to fall, this kind of chic Luan may never be able to do.
Embarrassment, panic, and trembling gaze at the world around him are Shang Heng's performance in danger.
Fifteen minutes later, Shang Heng was still blocked by multiple battle mechs.
Just between the cracks of a department store, when Shang Heng was about to hide in the basement of the building, six dandelion fighters fell from the sky, blocking Shang Heng's front and back retreat.
These heavy armor on the ground are quite deterrent, and the battle mechs of the tilt-wing gunship mode hovering in the sky are also ready to be wiped out with cannon strikes, small carbon-based targets (Shang Heng)
In the face of the persuasion of the Dandelion mecha in Chinese and Russian, "Surrender quickly, do not resist, we treat the prisoners preferentially." Something like that
At this time, Shang Heng can completely imagine that he is the controller of these mecha at this time, a target on the screen, and the cross on the screen should have been aimed at him.
At this time, should you continue to be a cowardly living person, or a fierce person for a second?
The reality is that Shang Heng put his hand on the back of his head and then honestly knelt down.
Shang Heng muttered in a low voice: "In this world, I can be a martyr, but not for this reason. ”

Four hours later, after finishing most of the day's work, Qiandi and Lu'an clusters realized the danger of the northern split. And this time. All Qiandi could hear was news reports that there had been a military clash in the northern ports controlled by the Holy Spirit Cult. In other words, it took four hours for the ontology's rehearsal ability and high superpowers to descend on the split.
Dandelion raid, four hours later.
Shang Heng (or Lu An), who was already docking ontological thinking, looked at the bars around him and the soldiers escorting him. In Russian, follow the people around you constantly. But I got a warning like "be honest". Then he was put on a large number of electronic shackles. Then he put on a black cloth hood (the hood had no effect), escorted to a battleship, and sent to the rear of Imperial Russia.
The dandelion raided, and 24 hours later, Luan was in a state of confinement.
During this time, Lu An's main attention has not been detached from his own balance. Because the crisis of the balance has not been resolved.
This made Lu An speechless, because if Shang Heng's identity continued to be unsafe, it meant that he needed to focus his attention and super energy on this split for a long time, and this would cause a large part of his work in Qiandi to be stopped in the past few days.
At the moment, Lu An has two choices, the first option is to continue to wait, and the second option is to use the strong super power to escape without knowing it.
All in all, Lu Ann is not like giving up on the division of the balance. 'Even if I am separate, I am separate. This sentence is simply a cluster pretense, but a complete responsibility.
But it can't be dragged on indefinitely, because if it drags on indefinitely, it will make Lu An's main business in Qiandi very difficult.
So Lu An used a rehearsal to investigate, and after investigating the situation of this dandelion army, Lu An decided not to run away. Because of the actual situation of the Dandelion Legion, Lu An gasped.
###
So after eighteen hours in the confinement room, Shang Heng, who was very decadent, finally waited for the summons of Anna, the heavyweight of Imperial Russia.
You meet Anna in an underground base west of St. Petersburg, and in this wide hall Shang Heng walks into the hall, and in normal view, sees the hall in a soft space like flesh that makes up the surrounding walls. It's like in the stomach of a living being.
But this is not the stomach of a carbon-based creature, the pliable walls here are a mixture of metal and liquid. (Simmons spring beds can also give people a sense of flexibility.) )
And Anna didn't come to the road with a lineup, she has been in a metal life support pod, and at this time she is no longer the elegant and calm princess image she used to be. Rather, very cold, mechanical.
Anna: "Name! ”
An honest look of Shang Heng: "Shang Heng"
Anna: "Gender"
Shang Heng: "male" (600 words omitted during the interrogation)
Fifteen minutes later, Anna said in a slightly sharp voice, "You're a high-ranking officer of the rebels, aren't you?" ”
Shang Heng rubbed his hands and said, "It should be, in the Arctic Harbor, the defense line on land was built by me. ”
Anna asked, "Is it so simple to just build?" Engraver (Shang Heng's code name within the Holy Spirit Sect)"
Shang Heng paused and said, "That, I, I did lead the construction of the base there. ”
Anna: "Well, there is no doubt that you are a war criminal. ”
Shang Heng did not refute, according to this position, there is no doubt that he is a war criminal. Of course, there is nothing to say as a war criminal. Especially the god in front of him, who made great sacrifices for the sake of the war.
However, compared to his own situation, (knowing in the rehearsal that he would not die) Lu An is more worried about the trend represented by Anna's case
Anna's current situation is what Lu An has always been worried about, whether "people can control superpowers" or "superpowers can influence people" When superpowers are included in an important position from the perspectives of all parties in this world. Superpowers are not free. When the things that the superpower fancy cannot be obtained by other means, and can only be obtained with superpower, then it will be controlled by superpower.
In the rehearsal, Lu An (Shang Heng) suddenly burst into the ability to dig through the heavy armor of the life support cabin, and Lu An can clearly see Anna's state. The figure that was supposed to be a girl is now pale and you can see blood vessels, the ribs are protruding, and the leg muscles have become loose due to the lack of exercise for a long time. The head was supposed to be hair, but it was lifted up and inserted into a metal tube.
In the rehearsal, when Lu An broke the coffin with unstoppable force, the goddess's originally cold gaze revealed a look of waiting for relief.

And Anna's state made Shang Heng completely in a state of horror when he saw the tragic end of his kind. This is the equivalent of the scene of the ancients in modern peacetime.
And now it's just the beginning of the world war, and the gods who sacrifice normal humans for the sake of superpower. Anna is the first, and no one can guarantee that she will be the last.
When the war gamble grows bigger. When everyone has to use what they have and the future they have not yet had to have as chips on the gambling table, when everyone has to enter the point of gritting their teeth and insisting because of the other party's gritted teeth!
So can the superpower still be considered human in the future? Lu An himself can no longer be regarded as an ordinary person, but as a state of full strength, Lu An does not think that he is out of the category of people. And can the superpowers of this world still maintain their human attributes in the midst of change?

The conversation continued.
Shang Heng 'bowed his head and admitted his mistakes': "You can say that I am a 'war criminal', yes, I will obey your orders next, and this kind of obedience, you can also say 'I atone for the war acts' I will not have any rebuttal."
Because I am timid and afraid of death, I think in this war in North Asia, I can't judge justice and evil, I just want to live. I will do whatever I want, whoever can keep me alive. Don't judge what I'm not capable of correcting. ”
Anna: "Justice will not tolerate your quibbles. ”
Shang Heng showed a flattering smile: "I will stop quibbling, not for justice, but for power, you can let me live." ”
The hall fell silent to the council, suddenly
Anna said in a tone of extreme disgust: "Shameless maggots. ”
Hearing this, Shang Heng said curtly: "I can't judge justice, justice is biased, while one group of people enjoys justice, another group of people will be ignored by justice." If you want me to believe in justice. Shang Heng looked at the steel coffin and muttered, "At least, at least let me believe that there is sacred." Only when there is a divine can be guarded, can justice be shouted. ”
In the hall, after a while.
Anna broke the silence: "Don't you believe in the existence of the divine? ”
Shang Heng said in a low voice: "When someone sacrifices for others, the person who survives by the great grace of the victim uses power to set the law and morality for everyone, and never forgets the great kindness of the victim and the price paid by the sacrificer." This is sacred. ”
Shang Heng raised his head and looked at Anna: "Say, now here I don't think there is anything worth sacrificing me." Even if some people will be moved, but without the definition of legalization by social organizations, how long can the memories of a small number of people last? ”
The silence in the hall was even longer. And Anna, who was lying in the life support cabin, her originally cold eyes flashed for a moment of confusion.
She was a victim. But as the conversation suggests, can she herself convince future generations that her sacrifice is sacred? In this world, who can inherit the solemn emotion of sacrifice and pass on the sacredness? (Lu Ann thought about this question decades ago, that is, even if Lu Ann could be self-sacrificing at that time, who would understand?) )
Three minutes later, Anna's cold voice continued: "You have no say until the atonement is over." ”
