Text Prequel Chapter 6 Assassination

His hand was suddenly grabbed. When he came back to his senses, the flames of war and the smoke of gunfire were gone, and the huge pillars of the palace appeared in front of him. He suddenly remembered that he was still inside the ruins of a civilization in the abyss under the sea.

The scene of Fang Cai is still vivid, and that miserable picture is like an elegy for the end times.

He was holding a blade in his hand, and the tip of the blade was almost against his neck, and the cold edge was close to his neck. He broke out in a cold sweat.

The No. 1 handle was gently released from Nan Qiyun's wrist. "Found you."

"What was I doing?" Nan Qiyun asked her. Nan Qiyun was deeply impressed by the scene he had just experienced, and it was difficult for him to recover from that scene for a long time.

"You have a knife and want to kill yourself," Number 1 replied, "Han Xian, Chu Han, and I also got separated, and I searched for a long time before I found you here." ”

"Your eyes are much better than they were just now," she added, "have you seen something strange?" ”

Nan Qiyun thought about it carefully. From the moment he found himself separated from the other three after entering the palace, his thinking and reflexes began to slow down as he walked through the chaos inside the palace, as if at some point, he was caught in the picture of the apocalyptic scene, and he didn't know it.

He had some kind of hallucination, which eventually nearly killed him. If No. 1 hadn't arrived in time, he would probably have been buried in this deep sea from then on, disappeared into the long river of history, and never been found again.

In the palace, there is something that interferes with people's thinking and even produces hallucinations, which Nan Qiyun speculates is a way for prehistoric civilizations to protect the surviving ruins after their demise. He looked at Number 1 standing beside him, and she didn't seem to be affected by the hallucination.

"How long has it been since we entered the palace?"

Number 1 looked at the time display on the communicator. "Two hours."

Fortunately, it didn't take too long as it did when I was in District 6 before.

"I probably had some kind of hallucination," Nan Qiyun said, "I just saw a lot." ”

"I see, the end of humanity." He spoke again, his voice trembling. That kind of scene is extremely real, and it gives Nan Qiyun the feeling in his memory as if it has just happened.

Number 1 tugged at the hem of his shirt. "It's time to go."

The mission of this trip is to bring the war technology contained in the ruins out of the deep sea.

Following the direction coordinates provided by the coalition government, they came to a huge stone gate that was half-hidden. The stone gate is very high, as if it has been directly pushed into the ocean above.

Their footsteps stopped abruptly the moment they stepped through the stone gate.

Behind the stone gate, there were dozens of corpses, all without exception, all dressed in the emblematic clothing of the coalition government's army.

Nan Qiyun checked the list of travelers for this operation.

Except for Han Xian and Chu Han, whose current whereabouts of his group are still unknown. The rest of the teams sent by the coalition government were all lost here.

They wouldn't be dead for long, less than three hours had passed since the first group had entered, and the blood splattered on the back of the stone gate was still fresh. They all maintained a strange posture, with a sharp dagger in their throats. Their hands were on the hilt of their knives, and their expressions were filled with endless despair.

"It's very similar to when I met you." Number 1 stepped forward, and she gently closed the eyes of a dead team member leaning against the stone gate. They encountered the same situation as Nan Qiyun, except that none of them were able to come out of the illusion.

Nan Qiyun sighed. "They're just one step away from getting the job done."

The two silently carried the bodies of all the dead team members to a slightly open place outside the stone gate. They don't have the ability to take the bodies of dead team members out of this underwater abyss. These dead government soldiers will sleep here forever along with this prehistoric civilization site.

Inside the stone gate is a wide and long passageway. Nan Qiyun and No. 1 walked along the passage together. If the geographical coordinates given by the government are correct, then what they are looking for must be at the end of the road.

On the walls on both sides of the stone road, there are endless murals. The figures of the two people are particularly small against the backdrop of the huge mural.

The level of painting of the mural is not high in Nan Qiyun's opinion, the outermost end, is a black human figure, the appearance is very blurry, people can not see the appearance clearly, only to see a vague black shadow, the black shadow is holding a wooden stick in his hand, in front of him is a cluster of things similar to a fire. Further on, the figures gradually increased, the wooden sticks gradually turned into swords, and the black shadows began to consciously gather together, and on the ground, a black shadow was writing characters.

This is the history of the development of prehistoric civilizations recorded here.

How similar this is to human beings. Nan Qiyun couldn't help but sigh at the wonder of nature, and to this day, human beings have no way to escape from this road on the long road of civilization. The development of civilizations of all kinds is like an endless cycle, from the dead silence of nothing, to the vigor of life, and then back to the dead silence.

It's just that the prehistoric civilization that has reached such a high-end frontier in science and technology has disappeared into the long river of the earth for what reason?

Continuing to go straight, the content of the mural is gradually enriched, high-rise buildings appear, all kinds of means of transportation also appear, and then the things shown in the mural can no longer be distinguished by Nan Qiyun.

Prehistoric civilization was separated by centuries from humans. It would have taken much longer for humanity to get to the same level of time as they did. The discovery of the site has brought this century difference to a great span.

They came to the end of the mural.

Dense black shadows stood on the ground, looking at the scorching sun in the sky, their bodies burning. This is the final picture

Nan Qiyun counted them, and there were ninety-nine.

There is a legend in ancient China that in ancient times, there were ten rounds of scorching sun, scorching the earth, and the people were struggling to survive. The heroic descendants of humanity stepped forward and shot down the nine suns in the sky to save humanity from extinction.

But apparently, the heroes of prehistoric civilizations did not appear, and the sun was not just ten.

High temperatures have destroyed all technological civilizations, no matter how advanced they may be.

They looked away from the mural. Nan Qiyun was suddenly stunned.

At the end of the passage, there is no way.

There was nothing, not to mention the war technology that was kept here, not even a single thing to take away.

Gone wrong? Nan Qiyun hurriedly looked at the geographical coordinates on the positioning device. The coordinates show that they have reached their destination.

Nan Qiyun remembered that the geographical coordinates provided by the coalition government were located when the ruins of prehistoric civilizations were discovered hundreds of years ago. After so much time, if there is nothing you want here, it can only mean that the original location has been moved.

It is impossible to interrupt the execution of the task, Nan Qiyun glanced at No. 1.

"You decide." She saw what Nan Qiyun meant and did not object.

Then you need to find every building coordinate on the positioning device, and unless you are lucky, the return time will be greatly extended. Of the 108 buildings found here, all but one of them have been reduced to ruins, and the remaining 107 buildings are relatively well preserved. The place where they are now located is the innermost hall 108.

It is the safest way to return the same way as you are, and then check the buildings you come into contact with along the way.

Area 14 on Layer F, formerly the Himalayas. There used to be a mountain at the top of the world, Mount Everest. After the launch of the "Planet Project", this mountain range was added to the removal list, along with all other mountains and plateaus on Earth that are higher than 500 meters. While building the edifice, it took 20 years for human beings to finally erase these mountains and plateaus from the face of the earth. The Himalayas have retained the highest elevation since the edifice era, 884.8 meters, in the removal list, which was created by mankind to commemorate the glory of Mount Everest.

The General Headquarters of the Military on the F Floor was established here.

The tall figure stood in front of the command podium, he was the supreme commander of the F-tier military, Admiral Fry, of Caucasian descent. He is one of the few military leaders who has been attached to the F floor since the establishment of the building era. He looked at the battle form map in front of him, and his face was solemn.

The anti-government forces have obtained a large amount of military equipment by unknown means, and in just a few months, they have captured several large areas in a row, forming a situation of confrontation with the coalition government forces at the F level. Due to the establishment of the building era, the main function of the F floor is no longer to provide human living space, so its strategic position is not as good as before, and most of the military forces of the coalition government are gathered on the A floor to defend the government building and its important military facilities. After the outbreak of the human civil war, the coalition government urgently issued a relevant plan, mobilized the nearest B floor and a small number of elite troops on the A floor, and went to the F floor through the "elevator" to cooperate with the F floor government army to fight, but because the passage on each floor of the building is now only available with "elevators", the efficiency is not too high, but it can barely stabilize the situation temporarily. The anti-government forces, on the other hand, have a large number of supporters in the F-level districts, and even if there are casualties in a battle, they will be quickly replenished by a steady stream of soldiers.

Frye looked at the list of information on the table about the head of the anti-government army.

The massive anti-government rebellion was provoked by a coalition army major named Chen Yuepeng who pulled his own troops in District 6. To Frye's confusion, he had never heard of Chen Yuepeng before, and he had not been included in the reports submitted by the coalition army over the years on the cultivation of reserve talents, and it was certainly not enough to start a rebellion with his little troops, so where his arms came from, the coalition government had never learned anything about this. He also showed extraordinary military talent in the fight against the government forces, and in the campaign launched by the government forces in Region 6 a month ago, he relied on a weak force of less than 10,000 troops to repel hundreds of thousands of coalition forces.

There are also rumors that anti-government forces are looking for a large, strategic-grade weapon that can break through the building's compartment limits. This information is unclear, but Frye speculates that they may be looking for the Star Battleship that Nan Qiyun had discovered earlier. Since the only passage between the buildings, the "elevator", is tightly guarded by the coalition government forces, and only the coalition government headquarters has absolute control over the "elevator", as long as the coalition government stubbornly guards the "elevator", the worst-case scenario for the Coalition government is only the complete fall of the F floor. Judging from the current intelligence, only the Star Battleship has the possibility of breaking through the building.

But as a human born and raised on the F floor, and as the highest military commander here, he is too attached to this land, and he is unwilling and unable to give up this place easily. The anti-government forces rushed all the way to the Himalayas and captured the center of the coalition army's domination on the F floor, which would have a major impact on the entire battle situation.

The anti-government forces advanced at an extremely fast pace, and only one day had passed since Frye received information that its main forces had moved from Sector 6 to less than 200 kilometers from the General Headquarters. He decided to fight a decisive battle with the anti-government forces in the plains under the Himalayas.

He gathered all his men here.

The headquarters was empty, and the subordinates who had been meeting together here were either killed in battle or surrendered, and the rest were sent to the forward battlefield by him.

He stepped onto the windowsill of the headquarters and looked into the distance at the foot of the mountain. Once on the plains, stood a roof of the world. Once upon a time, the vicissitudes of life.

A gust of wind poured into the room, blowing away the papers on the podium.

Frye turned and walked over to the podium, trying to pick up the papers scattered on the floor.

His body stopped suddenly.

There was a whirring wind behind him, which seemed to be accompanied by footsteps.

Someone? He jerked his head back.

The room was quiet again, and outside the window, the afterglow of the setting sun was reflected.

He sighed.

The cold blade swept across his neck, and his gaze suddenly rose into the air.

Out of the corner of his eye, he focused on the blood-dripping blade below.

Blood splattered.

In front of him was a blurry black figure. Frye didn't see the figure's face.

The sight fell into eternal darkness.
