Chapter 364: Withdrawal
The work on repairing the spaceship, although the power and handling system was unsatisfactory at first, and there were many large and small problems, after several improvements, it finally looked like a real spaceship.
In addition, the test tower built specifically for Victor was completed in the last month of autumn – the five-storey concrete building has become a new landmark for the main site since the moment it was completed, with its strange shape and height beyond the Tower. There is no doubt that it will be the most striking sight in the city until the launch vehicle is completed.
In addition to these, the oil fractionation tower and the building built to assemble the new generation of power sources are also nearing completion. In the past, the closer to winter, the more silent the wasteland became, as if the towns were hibernate along with the earth, but since the establishment of the Han Technology Empire, this phenomenon has gradually been overturned, and has reached a new peak this year. From the North Slope mining area to the shoal harbour, you can see busy people and newly built houses everywhere, and the bustle and vibrancy of the streets and alleys amazes all the merchants who come here.
A month and a half later, the First Army finally returned to its long-awaited starting point.
The people of the empire spontaneously formed in the steppes on the outskirts to welcome them, and their cheers almost resounded in the air.
On the same day, snow fell in the sky.
The long winter ...... It's coming.
After Momiji said goodbye to His Majesty, he led a group of ninjas back to the depths of the dungeon at the base headquarters.
After placing the high-level fish-man who had been hanging her breath all along, she was led into a secret room deep underground by Helter, where Qing Ling and Lan Feng were waiting.
Obviously, they have more things to care about than the captured fish-people.
"What do you think?" Closing the heavy iron door, Huerter couldn't wait to walk up to her, "Can we win?" ”
"Didn't we already win?" Momiji spreads hands.
Huerter patted her on the forehead angrily, "You know what I'm asking, so stop teasing me." ”
......
......
As the last remaining assassin of the Northern War Alliance, her relationship with these female ninjas was undoubtedly closer than the others.
Although the surviving Assassins and ninjas who survived the fall of the Northern War Alliance and Shikoku Island began to follow the principle that every life is equally important, the old class still left a greater or lesser legacy.
......
"Since she's so relaxed, I think it would be a good answer." Qing Ling chuckled.
"In fact...... I'm not sure," seeing Qing Ling speak, Momiji became much more serious, "I'm afraid that the fish-people today are very different from the xenomorphs of four years ago, not only in the use of abilities, but also in the new differentiation of species. Then she recounted the whole battle in detail, "I can say...... Lord Huert is right, but if the original plan continues, humanity will inevitably fail. ”
Unlike Huang Shang, Huang Shang's development philosophy is more inclined to the development of military science and technology and gradually strengthen the combat effectiveness of ordinary people, while Huerter, on the contrary, proposes to gather more overrunners and fight for mankind.
Actual combat has proved that the overrun is indeed a sharp weapon to restrain the high-level fishmen, but it is a pity that it is difficult to compete with the enemy on the frontal battlefield by relying on this alone - although the powerful body of the overrun is huge, it does not mean that it will not be injured, in the face of the new war machine, the biggest advantage of the overrun warrior will no longer exist, once the frontal battlefield cannot be broken through, Huerter's ideas and views are equivalent to losing their meaning.
After confirming this, Qing Ling seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, as if he had let go of some heavy burden, "Therefore, we did not choose the wrong follower, His Majesty Huang Shang's decision is correct. It's wonderful......"
"Yes, that's great......" Lan Feng also whispered, her voice even faintly choked, for a person who had lived in the wasteland for four years, this was really an incredible thing.
At this moment, the autumn leaves are also deeply touched.
Since then, they have weighed down a thousand pounds of boulders in their hearts.
There is nothing to be afraid of death.
What is terrible is to carry the incomprehension and rejection of his partner, looking for faint hope in the darkness.
If they fail, it means that the only possibility of human survival is stifled, and that kind of sin cannot be offset by death.
It is with this obsession that all people endure the empty shell of their unconsciousness and persist all the time.
Now that Hull's view has proven to be a mistake, they naturally feel a long-lost relief - even if the final outcome is the total destruction of humanity, the fate of the survivors will at least not seem so sad.
"Even so, there is a lot of truth in my opinion," Huerter rubbed his nose, "but now it seems that powerful military weapons can compensate for the weakness of those who exceed the limits."
"Don't worry, although your views have failed in practice, it doesn't matter, we still have a long way to go, so let your uncle take pity on himself with his own opinions."
"Qingling!"
Momiji smiled and shook his head, "I'm not done yet...... While it's still uncertain who will win the final war, I at least see hope. ”
With these words, the four high-ranking assassins all fell silent.
Because of this, hope has become a luxury.
Now, however, they can easily say the word again.
Realizing this, the Assassins could not help but fall into a moment of speechlessness.
After a long while, Qing Ling broke the silence and said, "So...... Can we fulfill His Majesty Huang Shang's entrustment? ”
"Entrusted?" Huerter was stunned.
"I'm okay," Momiji shrugged.
"I ...... too I don't think there's a problem," Lan Feng was the last to speak.
"Since you all agree...... All right. Huerter sighed helplessly.
Hearing Momiji talk about the dangers of entering the Soul Battlefield, Qing Ling sighed, "I see, but I won't regret it. ”
None of the three answered, because this was also the path they had chosen.
"If we can complete Huang Shang's mission, our mission will come to an end," she paused, "What the future world will be like is not something we can control...... But at least now we can plan ahead and find a way out for ourselves. ”
"Do you want to live in seclusion in the mountains, disappear, or find a place to bury yourself?" Huert said unhappily.
"Of course not," Qing Ling replied, shaking his head, "we can become an indispensable force for His Majesty Huang Shang. ”
