"How much hope is there...... Ling Yu's side. ”

“20%…… Up to that. ”

Just when Ling Yu was preparing for the last fight, Steve. President Harold also came to the command center at Fort Bradley in New York.

The pale president sat in a wheelchair, pushed by guards, and still had a drip on his forearm on his left hand, but he still maintained the momentum of the top commander of the alliance and asked Yang Chengze questions bluntly.

The old man, who had burn scars on half of his face, sighed and gave his judgment.

"Then let's start the 'Cyprus' project."

President Harold was silent for a moment, then leaned back, leaned back in his wheelchair, and was silent for a moment, then spoke word by word.

Yang Chengze nodded lightly, did not speak, but waved his hand, and a Space Army officer next to him sighed heavily, but still took out the key, untied the handcuffs on his hand, put the terminal on the table in front of the president, and then opened it.

This is the ultimate weapon of the alliance - "Cyprus".

And in fact, this ultimate weapon is neither a nuclear weapon nor a satellite railgun.

It's Icarus itself.

When the alliance encounters an irretrievable strategic situation, or is completely paralyzed by a large-scale attack by the ACA, and the country is facing extinction, the space station of prehistoric civilization is parked in high-altitude orbit. It will be the last and most terrifying weapon of the Alliance.

Once the "Cyprus" order is given, the space station, after descending into the gravitational sphere, will disintegrate into three pieces, like the mythical three-headed dog, with the help of high-powered thrusters. Fall to the designated place.

More than 200 kilometers long and 15 kilometers in diameter, almost entirely made of metal from prehistoric civilizations similar to the "Ark", even if only a third of them, can not be stopped by any ground weapons and protective equipment.

In fact, since the League got hold of this cylinder of terror that almost destroyed humanity, there has not been a day that has not been preparing for the possible second "Icarus Crisis" - even ordinary people understand that there is no absolutely safe protective equipment, how could the League not think of such a possibility.

After a long period of research and experimentation, the answer given by the Academy of Sciences and the Academy of Engineering is. In space, this terrible monster is broken into three pieces in advance, and it is usually connected in a certain way, and if it encounters an inevitable fall, it will simply be used as the most terrifying kinetic weapon and put into the area controlled by the ACA.

Two will hit Africa and the other will fall in the middle of South America.

"When I was campaigning, I never imagined that there would be such a day...... Use your own office as a weapon. Harold looked at the verification screen. He smiled wryly, "The Alliance's space technology will be set back two hundred years because of this. The lunar base will become an island, and the construction of the Tower of Babel will become impossible...... There are also more than a billion ACA civilians killed and injured, as well as hundreds of millions of Allied citizens who could be affected, global climate change, and a new food crisis...... Have I forgotten anything? Yang Chengze? ”

"I don't know." Yang shook his head lightly and gave an honest answer. "But mercy to the enemy is cruelty to ourselves, and we have no choice, sir."

"I know, I know......" Harold nodded slowly. If Icarus falls in North America or Central Asia, or in the Pacific Ocean...... Or if it doesn't disintegrate, and the whole thing crashes directly into the earth, then I'm afraid that humanity will perish. ”

"This order, can it be canceled?"

Suddenly, as President Harold was typing the command code on his keyboard, he suddenly looked up and looked at the Brigadier General of the Space Force, who had been carrying the box all the time, and this Brigadier General was also a technical officer, well versed in all the technical details of the Icarus and Cyprus plans, in case the President interrogated.

"You can set the critical altitude to start automatically, sir, and you can cancel the command at any time before then." Brigadier General of the Space Force nodded, "But the altitude must be higher than a critical point, otherwise there is no guarantee of accurate delivery to the ACA territory, and once it is below this altitude, the operation cannot be suspended." ”

"Hmm." Harold nodded, "Have all the personnel in Icarus been evacuated?" ”

"Scientists evacuated ...... before the solar storm," the technical brigadier general was silent for a moment, "the later separation operation will require the cooperation of the Space Force technicians inside Icarus. ”

"Is there a way to go and no return?" Harold was silent for a moment, then tapped lightly on the mechanical keyboard, and the final verification was completed, and the interface of the suitcase suddenly turned blood red.

"I think we might have a little more time, President." Yang Chengze, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke, "We still have two minutes, but this time is the time for the rocket engine to start, but there should be one or two minutes for the rocket engine to start and adsorb on Icarus, and it should be two or three minutes for Icarus to be pushed to the lowest point of gravity, after all, the technicians of the Space Force will not sit still, and will definitely activate the vent in the opposite direction to resist this thrust...... We probably have ten minutes or so left. ”

"I know what you're thinking, General." President Harold turned his head to look at Yang Chengze, "I also hope that these last ten minutes can make Ling Yu create a miracle." ”

"Let's pray together." Yang Chengze nodded lightly, "For the sake of more than a billion living beings not to be destroyed." ”

The president didn't speak, just looked at the blood-red screen and altitude countdown and nodded.

***

Ling Yu held the three-edged dagger horizontally in front of him, looked at Marshall on the opposite side, and disappeared in place when the countdown pointed to two minutes!

The overclocking enhancement that had been saved before was turned on to the maximum, and the white light emitted by the lines of his left hand could be seen even through the gloves, and the young man rushed directly towards Marshall with blood-red pupils.

However, instead of meeting Marshall's fist directly, he was short. Dodge the opponent's attack!

The shimmering dagger was lifted upward, and it was almost about to stab Marshall's abdomen, but the young man in black was directly smashed to the ground by the fist of Marshall's other hand in the next second.

Marshall flew up and kicked Ling Yu directly. The young man in black hit the wall, half-knelt on the ground, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and without hesitation, rushed forward again.

This time, it's still dodge!

Ling Yu still dodged Marshall's fist, and then was hit by a knee blow and flew straight up.

Ling Yu, who had hit the ceiling and fell heavily, twitched on the ground, then stood up again and rushed towards the other party again.

"You can't dodge!"

Marshall yelled. This time, he directly shook and didn't punch at all, but directly kicked Ling Yu away, Ling Yu slammed into the window of the research room next to him, and then rolled to the ground with the fragments of high-strength glass.

Ling Yu got up again, trembling for a moment, and then fell down again.

"Do you think you're strong? I know you have the ability to perceive. I also know that you can read some TF movements, I know it! ”

It seems to be because of Ling Yu's persistence. Marshall showed some mocking anger, ignoring Jiesi who was crawling towards him next to him, and then stepped forward, grabbed Ling Yu's neck, and lifted him up.

"But you can't dodge me, not even Char can dodge my attacks. Do you think you're a rat that can read my movements?! ”

Marshall's right hand had already squeezed deeply into Ling Yu's neck, but the black-clothed young man acted as if he was dead, without any movement, not even attacking Marshall with the dagger in his hand.

But he still held the triangular thorn in his hand tightly.

"Then let me strangle you first. Anyway, I won't be able to live for long, probably, for ten minutes, but I'll witness the destruction of the Alliance, and you-"

Marshall's words were interrupted instantly, and Ling Yu finally seized the opportunity and swung a knife that slashed directly at Marshall's neck!

Marshall threw Ling Yu in his hand and reached out to cover the throat of the blood spraying wildly, Ling Yu hit the pillar next to him, and the red light in his eyes flickered unsteadily.

But a dozen seconds later, Marshall stood up again.

"Whoa—Whoa—I have to say, you're indeed a very troublesome mouse," Marshall had apparently reached a critical point, not only had the speed of wound recovery slowed down significantly, but he had also apparently had a drastic physical exertion.

"Because...... I used to give up too much stuff, so ......"

"Not now!!"

Ling Yu leaned over and rushed to Marshall's position again.

Ling Yu opened his eyes, and in an instant, it seemed as if he had become slow, he could feel the overwhelming sense of danger, but he had no way to see clearly which direction the other party would come from.

This time...... Is it going to fail again?

The moment Ling Yu closed his eyes, intending to withstand Marshall's next attack, suddenly, he clearly felt the sound of water droplets coming from the other side not far away.

What is it?

Without waiting for Ling Yu to react, he suddenly felt that Marshall's sense of danger like a tide had receded, leaving only a sharp red light!

It's-

Ling Yu subconsciously leaned back, and the next moment, when he opened his eyes, he saw Marshall's fist, grazing his head and flying over!

The red light flashed again, and Ling Yu toe a little, flashing to the other side.

Dodged Marshall's knee!

Before the expression of surprise could appear on Ling Yu's face, the dagger in his hand subconsciously stabbed into Marshall's body, and then slashed hard, directly cutting Marshall's chest horizontally.

The red light flashed rapidly again, Ling Yu lowered his body in a hurry, and Marshall's elbow hit him directly against his head.

Ling Yu didn't continue to fight, and flew up and kicked Marshall's abdomen to regain the distance!

Throughout the attack, Ling Yu was not injured in the slightest!

"Impossible! You...... Finally! How is that possible, how did you do it?! ”

Marshall took a few steps back to stabilize his body, looking at the wound on his chest, revealing an expression of disbelief, as if he couldn't believe it, he even reached out and touched the wound on his chest that was slowly healing, until he felt the warm blood and pain, he was sure that Ling Yu had really hurt himself.

And at this moment, Ling Yu was also stunned.

He saw Marshall's movements, and every single one of them was clear! From the signal of danger to the trajectory of the attack movement, it was completely seen!

Why all of a sudden-

Ling Yu subconsciously thought of a possibility, he turned around and looked at Jiesi who was lying on the ground on the side, and at the same time, Jiesi also turned her head and looked at the young man on the side.

The girl lying on the ground stretched out her thumb at Ling Yu, and the left eye of the "hollow" machine emitted a faint white light.

The left half of the girl's face was already covered with blood from her eye socket due to rejection.

Ling Yu nodded, took a deep breath, and looked at Marshall again.

It's just that he didn't know that the surprise in his heart had completely spread to the girl lying on the ground at this time.

The original hollow with only 37% fit rate has soared to 94% at this time! (To be continued......)
