Chapter 17: Above the Dome
The rescue spacecraft arrived in time at the last moment, which made Long Xingyi and the others feel very excited. As the rescue spacecraft slowly landed, several people refocused their firepower and fought their way through the door of the dilapidated spaceshipβin fact, most of this "blood road" was killed by the high-energy cannon of the spaceship overhead.
The spaceship landed slowly, and Long Xingyi simply used the courage of "one man is the key, ten thousand people are not open", and shouted to the people behind him while shooting: "Withdraw!" You go first! β
Lei Ling glanced at him helplessly, as if he wanted to say, "Please, although there are fewer people, I am the commander-in-chief of the Southern Theater, okay?" But he swallowed the words back, silently obeyed the command, and got on the ship. However, Yin Yuting cast a positive look at Long Xingyi, as if she was escorted by a male god, and she also felt very secure. At this moment, if Long Xingyi looked back and didn't need the strange beast to pounce on him, he himself would be fascinated and his legs would go limp.
Yin Zhendong didn't say a word, silently covering for him by Long Xingyi's side. When the rest of the people boarded the spaceship quickly, Yin Zhendong took out a free hand, patted Long Xingyi's shoulder, and pointed to the back, as if to say, you withdraw, I come.
Long Xingyi understood and replied: "Together!" Yin Zhendong nodded, fought and retreated with Long Xingyi, returned to the hatch of the spaceship, and jumped up.
The hatch quickly closed, and the ship took to the skies and continued to shoot around. On the other side of the town in the distance, a huge figure was breaking through the fragments of the wall and quickly attacking the spaceship.
"What about Murong Shaokang?" An officer on the ship asked in a loud voice.
"Looking for him?" Lei Ling asked, pointing to the fire at the tail of the spaceship below, "Go there and find it!" β
The officer glanced down, did not speak, returned to the bridge, and shouted through the onboard communication: "Rescue No. 1 report!" A total of 6 survivors were received, and the target Murong Shaokang did not survive and was confirmed dead. β
"This time...... Don't get shot down again. Long Xingyi said, threw the laser gun in his hand on the ground, and sat on the chair.
Yin Yuting, who was also slumped in the chair next to her, glanced at him sideways, and scolded weakly: "Close your crow's mouth!" β
Long Xingyi was also exhausted at the moment, unconsciously staring at the undulating outline of Yin Yuting's chest, and was stunned.
"Where are you looking?" Yin Yuting noticed his eyes and slapped Long Xingyi with her elbow.
Only then did Long Xingyi realize that the position he was staring at was not right, and he looked out the window with a red cheek. However, Yin Zhendong was in a good mood in the back, and when he heard the conversation between the two, he joked, "Don't look at you, do you look at me, an old man?" Hahaha! It's just that the others also lost their strength, and sat in their chairs silently, panting.
I was most afraid that the air would suddenly be quiet, Long Xingyi thought embarrassedly.
The spacecraft rises into mid-air, the main thruster activates, and it quickly flies upward. Long Xingyi looked out the window, and the sky gradually darkened. The past two days have been like hell, but probably due to excessive stress, in retrospect, he can only recall a few fragments, and he no longer reminisces, but continues to enjoy his first trip to space.
The spacecraft gradually sailed out of the atmosphere and into a sea of stars. Just outside the atmosphere, a huge "metal net" envelops the entire Earth, and there is no edge visible at a glance. The entire metal mesh is connected by pillars made of stainless steel, and on each node there is a huge device shaped like a turret, and countless small-looking robots fly around the turret, as if maintaining the turret. This should be the legendary "Skynet"! Long Xingyi thought.
Passing through the giant "mesh", the ship continued its journey into space. Long Xingyi pressed his face against the window, feeling the cold in the desolate space after passing through the atmosphere. Through the thick portholes, he saw a huge space station, floating in the vastness of space. Probably because he was getting closer and closer, he felt more and more that this huge space station was like an invincible battleship in a science fiction movie, majestic and majestic. And what he saw was only the tip of the iceberg.
Unconsciously, something touched his arm, and Long Xingyi looked back, and it turned out to be the laser gun he had just thrown on the ground, which was already floating in the cabin. And he is wearing a seat belt, and it seems that as soon as he unfastens his seat belt, he will fly with him.
"Weightlessness!" Long Xingyi whispered excitedly.
"Secure your guns." Lei Ling, who was behind him, knocked on the weapon rack on the wall and said.
Long Xingyi raised his hand, loaded the gun on the weapon rack on the wall, and continued to look out the window.
The space station's massive hatch opens, allowing the spacecraft to sail in and land smoothly. Long Xingyi saw that Lei Ling and the other officers had all unbuckled their seat belts, and he dared to unbuckle his seat belts and stand up. "It turns out that there is a self-weight system......" stepping on the solid ground, Long Xingyi sighed that he was a little lonely.
The officer on the spaceship took Lei Ling and the others to the command room of the Star Alliance space station, and at this time, a Mi military officer was arguing with the Stygian Sea about something.
"Again, I won't arrest anyone until everything is decided." Seeing Lei Ling and the others coming, Shenchenhai said in an unobtrusive tone, as if he wanted to end this unpleasant conversation quickly.
"Alright! We will also investigate as soon as possible, and we hope that when the evidence is conclusive, you will not shield anyone, Your Excellency Commander-in-Chief. The blonde and blue-eyed officer said regretfully, and then turned to leave. At this time, he saw Long Xingyi in the team, recognized him at a glance, glared at him fiercely, and quickly left.
Why does it seem like everyone knows me? Who did I recruit and who did I mess with? Long Xingyi thought in his heart, and also glanced back at the departing officer, a little inexplicable.
When Lei Ling saw the Underworld, he took the initiative to step forward and salute, "Report to the commander-in-chief!" We didn't complete the task, Murong Shaokang had already been attacked by the beast before we arrived, and we could only properly dispose of his corpse. β
Shenchen Hai also returned the salute and said, "I already know, and I don't blame you. Did he say anything on his deathbed? β
"Yes." Long Xingyi, who was present at the time, interjected, "Academician Murong said that Judgment Day is a conspiracy. Without saying more, he passed away. β
Shenchen Hai slowly tilted his head and looked at Long Xingyi, his eyes were full of complicated expressions, "He...... Didn't say anything else? β
"No, I was there at the time." Yin Yuting proved.
The Stygian Sea was silent for a moment, "At present, it seems that this is indeed the case...... Thank you so hard. This is my country's command room, and I need to go to the general command center above to officially launch the 'Skynet Project'. If you want to see the fireworks, please stay here and watch them for a while. If you're tired......" he gestured to a staff member behind him, "our staff will take you to the arranged room to rest." β
After that, Shenchen Sea also passed through a few people, glanced at Long Xingyi with a solemn expression, then looked at Yin Zhendong, frowned, and walked out of the command room.
"Humph! Cast a mist before somebody's eyes. After the Stygian Sea left, Yin Zhendong said in a low voice. Long Xingyi guessed in his heart, could it be that the conversation just now had something to do with me? Why are they both staring at me? Is this "Judgment Day" caused by my crossing? Long Xingyi thought about it again and again, and he didn't dare to make a conclusion.
Yin Yuting pinched her sore shoulder, "I'm tired, in the past 72 hours, I have hardly closed my eyes, so I went to rest first." Besides, I don't want to see my hometown destroyed by ourselves......" Speaking of this, Yin Yuting looked through the window, forgot to glance at the gray earth outside the window, turned around and walked out with the staff. Luo Bing behind him didn't seem to have any Yaxing, and went to rest together.
"Watching the fireworks...... Is it to see our planet blown up? Long Xingyi asked knowingly, just to break the temporary embarrassment. But none of the people around him spoke.
"Hah! Finally seeing you in person. A voice came from behind them.
Long Xingyi looked back, and a familiar face walked over. It was Bai Duchuan, whom he had seen before in the holographic projection. Behind Bai Duchuan, followed by a young officer, with fair skin, a long figure, a strong physique, a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, an expressionless face, and a little unsmiling. But Long Xingyi looked at him and felt a little familiar.
Bai Duchuan walked up to Long Xingyi and said to everyone: "Your PC has been switched to the military intranet, and it can be used normally on the space station during this period, if you have any questions, you can contact our staff officer Long Haoqian." As he spoke, he pointed to the young officer behind him, then lowered his head and asked Long Xingyi with a smile and whispered, "Does it look familiar?" β
Long Xingyi nodded suspiciously, and Bai Duchuan smiled kindly: "Do you have a cousin named Long Xing Soul?" After hearing this, Long Xingyi looked at Long Haoqian with an expression of disbelief, and then looked at Bai Duchuan.
"That's right, this is his descendant, in terms of generation, you are still his orthodox ancestor!" Bai Duchuan said jokingly, but Long Haoqian, who was behind him, was still standing expressionlessly, without making any statement, as if waiting for the chief to give an order.
This character...... It's not quite like my cousin, who, like me, is a man with a great sense of humor, this grandson...... It doesn't seem polite to call my grandson, but in terms of seniority, he does seem to be younger than my grandson. This kid really doesn't seem to have inherited our family's humor cells! Long Xingyi looked at this cross-era relative and thought in his heart.
Bai Duchuan glanced at the PC in his hand, and then said, "It's almost time, let's take a look at the Skynet plan!" A scene that many people may not see in their lifetime. So saying, he led a few people to the window.
Long Xingyi looked at the earth in front of him, it was gloomy, and he couldn't tell the complicated feelings in his heart. I wonder if there are any humans on the earth who have not been able to evacuate in time at this moment? 24K: Did they evacuate safely?
The "nodes" on the "Skynet" outside the earth gradually lit up with dots of blue light, and the blue light changed from weak to bright, becoming a halo of light, flashing behind the fort. The barrels on the turret lit up one by one as if they were charging, and at last even the top of the barrel shimmered with a dazzling blue light.
"It's ......" In the silent command room, everyone stared at everything in front of them without saying a word, only Bai Duchuan muttered.
In an instant, pillars of bright blue light shot out from the tips of each fort, shooting towards the surface of the earth. Thousands of turrets fired blue high-energy plasma cannons, and the earth was like hydrangeas with blue embroidery needles.
Suddenly, blue circles of light appeared on the surface of the earth, like the explosion of a nuclear bomb, bulging blue hemispheres and gradually spreading. The whole earth was covered with blue balls of light as if it had herpes.
Until the ball of light gradually extinguished, the entire earth was lit with sporadic fires, but it was lifeless. There was silence in the command room, as if everyone was mourning for their homeland.
After being silent for a long time, it was Bai Duchuan who took the lead in speaking, "If we don't break it, we will always go back." β
Lei Ling didn't say anything, turned around and said to Long Haoqian: "Please take us to rest!" β
Long Xingyi also turned around and prepared to go to his room to rest, and in the past few days, he could finally sleep peacefully again. Before leaving, he glanced back at the still burning surface of the earth.
Is the Day of Judgment nature's judgment on mankind, or the judgment given to itself by mankind?
