The cheers of the battleship harbor continued, and the people enjoyed this rare victory with nostalgia, although they did not last long until the interlude in the war.

Gate 3, battered by the Desert, stood desolately, the wind pressure growing through the cracks between the broken stones turned into screams, and the piercing sound was like the mouth of an abyss monster in front of the black hole with interlaced canine teeth.

"Hey! What sound do you hear? ”

A soldier armed with an electromagnetic firearm slapped his comrade next to him and asked cautiously. He had a strong fear of the voice.

"Report to the command center!" The soldier's face turned pale, and the joy of victory just now vanished in an instant.

－－－－－－－

"Sir! A large number of squid legions were found in the passage outside Gate No. 3, and the holographic sensor showed that there were at least 100,000 or more! The adjutant received the news and rushed to Locke's face, reporting with a solemn face.

Bang!

Locke slammed the EMP-scrapped command platform and yelled angrily, "Damn it! How could it be so fast? ”

The adjutant smiled bitterly and said to the angry boss in front of him, "When the Desert came back, it was discovered by the Squid Corps. It almost pierced through the entire corps from head to end, although several captains cooperated with each other to temporarily repel them, but in this way the situation that we had run out of ammunition was exposed, and the squid army accelerated the offensive! ”

Locke took a deep breath and suppressed his furious emotions, as the chief defense commander of all of Zion, he had to remain absolutely calm in the battle, anger would only make things worse. After a moment of silence, Locke gave the order: "All retreat!" Block all vertical passages! ”

"There are still a large number of wounded in the battleship harbor that have not been cleared out! What to do? The adjutant asked anxiously.

"Abandon them!" Locke said coldly, looking back into the adjutant's eyes, "All for Zion!" ”

The adjutant was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously.

In the battleship harbor, the soldiers loudly conveyed orders, civilians and guerrillas were intertwined, everyone was busy evacuating, although the order to abandon the wounded seemed a little cold-blooded, but it was not a satisfactory thing for the people who had been fighting with the machine army for many years and were on the battlefield almost every day. After all, leaving the hope of life to those with greater opportunities is the reason for Zion's inheritance.

The broken warrior urged the rest of the people loudly, and from time to time he looked back at the eerie and ferocious Gate Three. He suddenly shuddered, his face changed color, he looked back at the people who were still rushing into the evacuation passage, gritted his teeth and rushed forward, while shouting loudly, "They're coming!" ”

If sacrifice can save others, I will face it calmly!

Before he could finish speaking, tens of thousands of mechanical squid suddenly erupted from the eerie mouth of Gate Three, and they flew out of the hive like enraged hornets, trying to deal a fatal blow to the enemies who offended them.

The dense squid occupied the entire battleship port, and the little warrior after the break opened fire with a resolute and decisive face, and the green tendons on his arms burst out, swaying from side to side rapidly, hoping to eliminate as many squid as possible.

The little warrior is dead! But he accomplished his mission, and he chose to guard in the last moments of his life. The word 'great' is so frequent on the battlefield, so often that it is inconspicuous. But the last group of evacuees who witnessed this scene still shed tears. They are not moved, they just miss.

The squid didn't care about that, they attacked again in greater numbers, taking all the vantage points with great control, slaughtering all the creatures that were still breathing. The legions in the rear were still pouring in, and the number of 100,000 was far from what a small battleship port could hold. Their battle has only just begun.

A patrolling squid spotted the stopped drill robot, and it pounced on it along with the nearby squid, its tentacles encircling it like vines, entangled to death.

'What are they doing?' The observer looked at the images inside the monitor and asked with some surprise.

No one spoke, just stared at the monitor and prayed in their hearts. Now they can only watch the squid move freely in the warship harbor, and there is no way to stop it.

The squid will be surrounded by the drill robots destroyed by the guerrillas, and the electric light will constantly swim on the huge body of the drill bit. The creaking current and the squid that is not replacing are clearly telling people that the drill robot is being repaired.

‘shit!‘ Locke grimaced as he watched the drill get back up and running. He stomped his foot hard and turned to walk towards the temple, knowing that the council must be waiting for his report, as the repair of the drill bit made the entire first half of the war meaningless.

－－－－－－－－－－－－

'How long can our outer walls last?' The Speaker of the Parliament, who was still dignified and luxurious, asked calmly.

'Less than two hours!' Locke replied calmly. At this time, he can only be calm, irritable and can't solve any problems.

'Is there any possibility of resistance for us?' Next to a councillor interjected and asked a question that everyone cared about.

Locke glanced up at the three captains standing in the corner, lowered his head and said indifferently, "No!" Although the final burst of electromagnetic pulse from the Desert took out the vanguard of the Squid Legion, it also wiped out all of Zion's counterattack forces!

The three captains were silent, they now knew that they had been a little reckless, but they didn't regret it, if they hadn't arrived in time, Zion would have fallen entirely!

The parliamentarians discussed it with each other, but there was no result. Even if those who engage in politics have some understanding of military affairs, they are definitely not as good as professionals. So they turned their gaze to Locke and said, "Then what else can we do now?" ”

Locke's eyes were calm and indifferent, and he had no expectations for victory in this war. Said lightly: "Move everyone to the temple below the mouth to hide." Expect a miracle! ”

Morpheus stepped forward, his face full of determination and reminded, "Neo! ”

Everyone's expressions moved, and the speaker opened his mouth to say something, but he still didn't say it, and finally just waved his hand and said, "Let's do it!" Gather all the civilians in the temple. I hope we can keep a little bit of human fire! ”

An hour and a half later, Morpheus and Naobi carefully hid in the lowest floor, behind the crumbling stone walls and crumbling steel and iron pillars forming a simple hide. The two of them carefully stretched out their heads, staring at them for a long time, making their eyes sour and astringent, but they still stared at the top ceiling without blinking, for fear that the squid army would invade at the moment of their blinking!

Click~!

A crack appeared in the ceiling, and the eyes of all those who were paying close attention to the situation instantly opened to the maximum.

Another crack staggered on it, and a large piece of the entire wall plate protruded.

Three more appeared, and the protruding wall was already full of cracks, and it looked like it was about to fall apart!

Countless cracks followed, and the broken roof finally shattered and fell off. The huge drill bit of the drill bit robot slowly revealed its true face, slowly rotated and smashed straight down. The gravitational potential energy continued to be transformed into faster and faster speed, easily smashing the iron bridge on the road and slamming it on the floor of the lowest floor. No one noticed that the tip of the drill bit was right in the vertical passage to the bottom.

No one paid attention to the big drill that fell, everyone's eyes were focused on the hole that appeared in the ceiling, and everyone lowered their bodies and tried to hide as much as possible, they knew that the squid army was coming!

Sure enough, a large number of squid fish rushed out, like a faucet that couldn't be turned off. When the water composed of squid came out, it spread out in all directions, and circled around the central cylindrical space in search of all living forms.

A small group of squid discovered Naobi's hiding place, and the squid rushed up without hesitation, with a terrible wind and endless momentum. Naobi closed her eyes tightly, and in the last moments of her life she didn't want to hide her emotions anymore and threw herself into Morpheus's arms without hesitation. She had completely forgotten about the electromagnetic gun in her hand, and at this moment she was just a little woman.

Morpheus hugged her tightly and instinctively turned to get in front of her. Close your eyes and wait to take the final blow!

Silent.

Still silence!

The expected blow did not hit, and the two opened their eyes gently, first quietly glanced at each other, and then turned to the squid.

The squid, who had just been violent, dangerous, and murderous, became unusually well-behaved at this time, floating quietly in the air, and a tentacle opened into a careful radar receiver, and then put away the tentacles and swam away quietly!

Morpheus and Naobi glanced at each other, both of them a little puzzled, and looked around to see that all the squid had become quiet and harmless. Morpheus was shocked and couldn't help but call out the name: "Neo! ”

When the people around heard this, their faces all showed joy, and they slowly put down the gun, and the original sad and angry thoughts of dying together slowly disappeared in their hearts.

Naobi's face could not hide the look of shock, and he muttered, "Neo! What the hell did you do! ”

Just when the war of the people was about to turn because of the savior, the hole above the broken stream suddenly began to pour out a denser army of squid, this army was different from the one just now, they were not scattered, they still hugged each other tightly to form a cylindrical shape, like a black python falling from the sky and straight to the ground, like a waterfall constantly flowing through. They didn't know that the python's head was stuck in the same place where the drill had just hit.

A young soldier suddenly and irrepressibly shouted in an unbelievable tone: "They are purple! ”

That's right! They're purple, which means. The world's biggest robber is coming!
