Behind the second line of defense of the temple, it was bustling with people. The pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info is generally divided into three parts, one part is the combat troops defending the entire defense line, and the other two regiments are around the electromagnetic network generators on both sides, holding various equipment to ensure their normal operation. There are also two teams that stretch from here to the rear, and they keep handing the Octopus's batteries forward.

No one speaks here, everyone is like a machine on an assembly line, repeating their work. At the back of both teams were a number of men with welding torches. The pale blue arc light became the only source of light here, reflecting the surrounding situation in light and darkness. Here the remains of the octopus have piled up into a mountain, and each octopus has a gap in its abdomen, in which only the battery has been pulled out.

Thomas was one of the people in charge of disassembling the octopus, and he worked on his knees for an unknown amount of time to keep his body stable. After disassembling an octopus, he reached out and touched it. But his hand hung in the air, and he explored up and down for a while, but he didn't touch anything. There was supposed to be an octopus placed in advance by a porter. He looked up suddenly, only to see the porter standing there silently shaking his head slightly.

He knew what it meant. Struggled to get up from a kneeling position. Rubbing his already numb legs, he looked up.

is going to die, but at least he must be a man who stands up to the sky and the earth, and he must stand when he dies.

The person who delivered the battery did not get the battery from Thomas and stared at him with wide eyes. The frightened eyes pierced his heart through the darkness. Thomas didn't say anything, just looked at him calmly. The man's gaze and emotions gradually settled down. He also passed on this composure from near to far.

Everyone knew what was going on, no one spoke, and no one showed up for superfluous movements. They straightened up in turn, and they all looked forward......

The bright electromagnetic mesh flickered a few times before it went out. The warriors were still fighting with their sidearms, and fierce fire flared up the defensive line.

With the help of these rapid flashes of light, Thomas sees the figure of the mechanical octopus, which is like a flickering old movie. At first, only occasionally one or two tentacles stretched out and stabbed at the warriors on the defensive line. As the screams continued, the firelight of the battle became scarcer, and with each flash of firelight, a large number of octopuses could be seen crossing the defensive line.

The last battle on the line was over, and Thomas saw the warrior, even though he was thrown into the air by an octopus, still roaring and keeping the shot. Until he fell heavily to the ground, and everything was quiet.

It's over...... In a breath or two, the octopus will pounce...... The sound of their tentacles moving was already ringing around them...... The next moment he will die......

At this time, Thomas thought of his wife, who was in charge of assembling ammunition in the rear. It's really the biggest regret that I couldn't protect her, but being able to die in front of her is also considered to have fulfilled my responsibility as a man.

I was so unwilling, I just died......

Thomas slowly closed his eyes, and at this moment he even felt that the sharp mechanical claws on the octopus's tentacles had penetrated his clothes and stabbed his body, and the cold feeling would immediately come from inside his body......

Everything seemed to freeze at this point......

The sound of the contactor closing with a "clang......" rippled through the quiet space.

Thomas's closed eyes also felt light and heat.

Is this paradise?

Thomas slowly opened his eyes. In front of him was a large metal head, and the red light was staring at him like eyes. Two mechanical tentacles were pressing against his chest and abdomen, and bright red blood was already dripping from his skin. But the octopus froze there, unmoved like a painting.

"It's coming!" I don't know who shouted it out loud.

"There's water!"

"The air is moving again......" The sound of surprise came from the depths of the temple, where the people had already begun to cheer.

The people on the front line did not dare to move, they gently turned their heads to look at each other. It doesn't feel good that these murderous demons are right in front of you.

Thomas was the first to dare to move his body. His wife's voice and smile were still in front of him, which gave him incomparably strong courage.

He began to slowly move his body back......

Everyone on the front line turned their eyes to him. Watching him move backwards inch by inch, at first in cautious slow motion, before finally he took a big step back. This was completely out of the octopus's range, but the octopus still didn't move.

Everyone followed Thomas's example and unhooked the tentacles of the octopus. They looked at each other with ecstatic glint in their eyes.

At this time, suddenly the octopus moved! They all folded their tentacles and stood tall in the air, the red lights on their heads flashing wildly.

Just when everyone's hearts suddenly rose to their throats. They all turned neatly towards the entrance of the temple, then turned around and left with a flick of their slender tentacles. A wave of the hand does not take a life......

Thomas saw a tall soldier on the defensive line holding up a huge machine gun, moving up and down, and shouting frantically: "The machine has run, we have won!" ”

Won? Thomas didn't dare to imagine that the word would happen, just now he was only a few millimeters away from death.

And why did victory come so ridiculously and strangely.

"Victory, Captain Baidi and Captain Mifuan have won!"

"We've recaptured the machine layer again!" Everyone is shouting like this. Thomas, on the other hand, felt very tired, not physically, and the lightness of the detachment after the fight was very comfortable; It's mental, because he doesn't know why he won.

When the octopus sentinels withdrew, the swift and neat movements, coordinated actions, as if a commander had changed. They are only now like a real army.

Thomas has a deep confusion buried in his heart, and in the confusion is an infinite fear of the unknown. He needed to find his wife immediately, and only by staying by her side could he enjoy a moment of peace.

He walked so anxiously that he didn't hear Rak's orders. "All the warriors who can still fight in Zion, grab your weapons and follow me to the machine layer!"

"Support the Captain of the Hundred Lands and destroy the machine army!" I don't know when human beings began to get used to shouting slogans.
