Chapter Eighty-Six: Nirvana
Darkness as far as the eye can see
Yes, there is only darkness here, nothing can be seen, nothing can be heard, and even the "feeling" becomes nothing. Is this what happens when people die?
I don't know how long it has been, but I know that it is a terrible feeling that I am in the dark, I can't do anything, I don't know anything, it seems that even thinking has become very laborious
When you're tired, you don't want to
Well
Um- what is that, it looks so far away, it should have nothing to do with me, I don't look at it when I'm tired, etc., it seems- it's moving this way, yes, it's moving this way. It's white, and even though I'm so far away from it, I can still see it because it's the brightest thing in this dark space
I don't know how long I was staring at the white object, until I started to lose my mind and felt the white object move more slowly, and I suddenly felt a faint heartbeat. In an instant, my spirits became excited, and yes, I finally regained one other feeling than vision, which was a good sign.
When I turned my attention to the white object again, it was already floating in front of me. Yes, it just stopped there quietly, it looked so beautiful, the gentle white light dispelled the darkness around me, and for a moment, I seemed to see hope, no, it felt like my mother's embrace, because I also felt a trace of warmth. I wanted to reach out and hug the ball-sized ball of light, but I couldn't feel my limbs, so I couldn't feel it.
"Humβ"
Suddenly, there was a buzzing of light. Oh my God, I actually - I heard it, I definitely didn't hear it - I heard it wrong, it was a "buzz" sound. I felt as if something was about to open, and I nervously watched the brighter and brighter clusters of light, as if something was about to be born out of them. Uh, why do you suddenly feel like this ball of light is very much like an egg? Wait for the eggs?
"Dingβ"
With a soft roar, the gentle light emitted by the light cluster began to slowly contract, and when the light mass shrank to the size of an orange, the light surrounding its core completely disappeared. In the blink of an eye, it became a round "egg", and the shell was more beautiful and smooth than the top-grade white marble.
"Click-click-"
A crack appeared in the eggshell, and at the same time, the dark space around it began to slowly brighten, and the tissues with tentacles, spikes, and spikes that had saved Mark (see Chapter 61 3/5 &B) slowly emerged one after another, slowly occupying this space. As the light filled the space, I could clearly feel my steady heartbeat.
I shifted my gaze to the white jade "egg" that was already full of cracks, and I was looking forward to the moment when the contents of the egg broke out, it must be a beautiful creature, right?
"Click-click-"
A blinding light suddenly shone on me, and when I couldn't observe the white jade "egg" because my vision was blocked, the next moment, I felt something explode in my arms.
"Wow-" For a moment I lost consciousness completely
"Time: 11:32 January 15, 2071ββββ Location: Warrant Officer Mark, Warrant Officer, Warrant Mark, S Jurisdiction, Base 004 Jurisdiction--S SectorββββDLT&xjp*EX-444444-"
"Wow-" With a scream, Mark snapped open his eyes and sat up. The feeling of being blasted at close range was so real, but now, Mark found himself alive and unscathed. The huge gap made Mark wonder if he was hallucinating.
"This is where I fell to the ground? Oh my God, why are there so many Zerg corpses? β
Now Mark is in a semi-supine position leaning on the insect corpse, as far as his eye can see, the pile of Zerg corpses, judging from the surrounding traces of destruction, as well as the death of the Zerg, these Zerg have been wiped out by the explosives on Mark's body. Being able to pull so many Zerg pads on their backs, the average Marine can be content. Well, it's a pity that Mark is not your average Marine.
After making sure there were no living Zerg around, Mark tried to raise his left and right arms. Judging from the body's reaction, Mark's main arms were not damaged too much, but the arm armor that wrapped his arms was not so lucky, and the damage was serious, but it could barely function. The condition of the torso is much the same, there is no major problem with the body, the armor is badly damaged, and various items carried on the outside of the armor are also destroyed. Unfortunately, the condition of the leg was very bad, the right thigh bone of the body was stressed fractured, the armor layer of the right leg armor was completely damaged, and the artificial muscles were exposed to the harsh air environment of Sharitz, and some of the muscle tissue was inflamed.
Looking at the super-large sandstorm that was about to obscure the sky, Mark gritted his teeth and supported the Zerg corpse behind him with his arm, trying to force his feet up. However, the intelligent terminal on the armor stopped him.
"The armor is badly damaged and unable to move! Call for help or disarm under suitable conditions. If you ignore the warning and force the move, the system will automatically inject the sedative. β
"Ya, are you going against me at this time? I have to go and complete my mission, unprotect the armor, and I'll go myself! β
Facing the excited Mark, the intelligent terminal replied emotionlessly: "Warrant officer, Area S has been destroyed by a nuclear bomb, causing 'Nirvana' to start automatically, and you don't need to go there anymore." Your teammates have completed the mission, and this is a notification from the highest levels of the military on the public channel that your mission is over. β
With that, the smart terminal began to play a one-way notification that kept circulating in the public channel: "This is the Shariz Joint High Command, and below is an emergency notice, all the human warriors who are still fighting on Sharitz, you have done your best." Nirvana has been activated, the war of Shariz is over, Shariz is over, you can evacuate. Repeat, you can evacuate. The fleet was already equipped with available vehicles, and the troops, having received the order, immediately assembled in the designated area and evacuated Sharitz. Repeat"
The announcement was sent by General James, and the general's voice Mark remembers that it could not be fake. "Nirvana" has been activated, the destruction of Shariz has become irreversible, and evacuation is the only option. At this moment, a mixture of emotions such as loss, sadness, and joy surged into Mark's heart, making him fall into a state of mental breakdown in an instant.
"Ahβββ why! Why! Why do it!? Why ββββ"
The hysterical rant could not give vent to the resentment in Mark's heart, and General James lied to him, to him. The original mission was only to defend the 004 base and cover the evacuation of civilians, and the later extended mission "Nirvana" only required to destroy all the research results there in Area S, but now, the announcement actually said that Nirvana was to destroy the entire Sharitz! Obviously, it should be by using conventional means to defeat the Zerg, how can this method of sacrificing the planet be used to achieve the consequences of burning the jade!
It took a long time for Mark to calm down, but at this moment, he no longer believed in the military leadership. This matter is a foregone conclusion, and he has no ability to change anything, so it is better to face it calmly. With all this in mind, Mark began to think about how he could escape.
Taking out a nano-medical bug injection from the safest storage compartment under the breastplate, Mark stabbed it into his right leg, and it was only a stress fracture, but the medical bug was still able to deal with it. After successfully correcting the position of the bones, the nano-medical worm began to repair the fracture, and soon, the broken bone tissue was connected again, and the movement was no longer greatly affected. It's just that the medical system that comes with the armor suggests that it is best to perform surgery in a place where conditions permit, and then recuperate for a period of time to allow the bones to heal on their own and avoid sequelae. (Mark: "I was so badly injured and didn't treat it when I fled the Leviathan, do I need treatment for this little fracture?") Author: "Haven't you noticed some changes in your body?" Mark: "Huh?!" βοΌ
As soon as Mark's leg wound was treated, the automatic repair of the combat armor was completed, and there was a reinforced bonded H20, so it was difficult to completely destroy Mark's combat armor, maybe the people inside were killed first, and the armor was not rotten
Wrapping the bare artificial muscles of his legs with two pieces of Zerg skin, Mark slowly stood up from the ground. Glancing around, Mark found that his weapons were basically blown up, and even the jetpack was blown up, and the only things that were still intact outside the armor were the golden lightsaber of Xiao Sheng (Gruvo) and the silver wasteland falcon pistol given by Ouyang Luo.
Seeing the two weapons that were still shining, Mark couldn't help laughing at himself: "I didn't expect such a violent explosion to not damage you, not even dirty, it's really a good thing, the quality is excellent." Harder than me, I'm all messed up"
Putting the two weapons away, Mark opened the navigation map and staggered in the direction of Shafeng City, Base 004, with an estimated speed of 17 to 22 kilometers per hour. At his speed, it was estimated that it would take three hours to reach Shafeng City, and by that time, the daylilies would be cold, let alone evacuated. However, before that moment, you can't give up, this is Mark's motto, and it is also the standard of his behavior.
"Until the results are out, everything is subject to change!" Cheering himself up in his heart and gritting his teeth, Mark quickened his pace and walked forward
(Tips: Because brain worms can seriously interfere with human long-range communication, in extreme cases, the military top will send an announcement in a clear one-way way on a public channel that is difficult to interfere with, informing all troops of important information that is not afraid of being known by the zerg.) οΌ
