Text Prequel Chapter 36 Firm
What the girl herself represents, is the order and rules of this time and space, so she has the ability to fulfill the promises she made, in different world lines, the same about regions, about the development of human beings, about the future process of human beings, but they have different appearances, she can send the four of Nan Qiyun to a new world line with a happy ending, and integrate them into that world line, unlike here, there will be no more human beings there, there will be no more wars, no more disputes, building systems, It will not be a trap for humans, it will be a real utopian world, a perfect Garden of Eden for humanity alone. They will also have the same relatives, everything around them will not change in any way, and they will enjoy all the good things they should enjoy.
What is needed is the choice they make.
Nan Qiyun looked at the other three people, his eyes were mixed with complex emotions, and all four of them were silent, for a long time, no one expressed any opinions.
The girl seemed to anticipate this. She turned slowly, took a heavy book from the shelf, returned to the couch, and sat down.
"Team Leader." Chu Han looked at Nan Qiyun, and he tugged at Nan Qiyun's sleeve.
"I'm not leaving." Nan Qiyun shook his head at him and gave a negative answer to the choice the girl had given. Parallel world, although far away from the smoke of war, although everything is still the same, except that there is no longer war around, nothing will change, and you can even enjoy the peace and beauty that you have been longing for, but if you make such a choice, it is equivalent to abandoning this world, abandoning not just one or two people, abandoning is the trust that all mankind originally pinned on themselves, the new world, even if it is the closest person, for Nan Qiyun and them, It is no longer the original intimate feeling, that world, although it is exactly the same, although it is equivalent to being carved out of a template, but the meaning is completely different, they are unwilling, and they can't let themselves enjoy the beauty of this world with peace of mind. If the ending can no longer be changed, then at least they need to go back, they need to let everyone know the truth, those who die, those who are about to die, they can't let them die meaninglessly.
"Me too." Han Xian then said, No. 1 nodded, and she didn't say anything more.
The girl turned her head. "Looks like you already have the answers."
She looked at Nan Qiyun, and the corners of her mouth raised a subtle arc. Nan Qiyun noticed that she seemed to be trying to express something to herself, but her eyes quickly shifted away from Nan Qiyun.
"Good luck to you, Blue Star warriors." She smiled and said to the four people in front of her.
Nan Qiyun felt that the girl's figure was gradually moving away, and the scene around her slowly became blurry and invisible, in the colorful light, different histories, different presents, one by one, Nan Qiyun saw the past and present of the parallel world.
The beautiful world, full of life, people live peacefully on this blue planet, the magnificence of the buildings covered outward, is the vision of Nan Qiyun in the universe that has never been seen before, the whole earth, like a huge and orderly machine, in accordance with the established track, day after day, no war and dispute, no doubt and suspicion, human beings have mastered the technology beyond the times, the progress of civilization, and have a glorious future.
After graduating from the Military Academy, he became a junior officer of the coalition government as he wished, working diligently in his own post, and doing his best to contribute to this society, this government, and this world in his own post. Sometimes there will be parents' concerns, but more often there is pride and expectation. Like most people, he met the person in his life, a touch of nervousness and expectation was quietly passed between the two, holding each other's hands in the blessings of countless people, having a successful career, having his own home, and having his own children, everything is developing in a beautiful direction according to the normal track.
This is the happiness that Nan Qiyun has been looking forward to, and it is also the happiness he should have. His eyes moistened.
From the beginning when he refused to leave this world, he could never have the opportunity to touch this calm and beautiful nostalgic happiness, and now, he needed to return to that world, even if that world was full of gunsmoke, even if that world was already in shambles, but as a member of the thousands of human beings in that world, as a group of people who were trusted and entrusted with great responsibilities, under the aggression of another civilization, he needed to rush to the forefront for the people behind him, if humanity was doomed to perish, Then he should at least fall before those whom he is protecting.
Chu Han, Han Xian, and No. 1, who had been reluctant to be named, also saw the peace and tranquility of the parallel world, and their eyes showed envy, but they gradually turned into a determined look.
Now, the responsibility is to be borne by everyone.
In the endless flow of light, the world has become a boundless gray.
12 January 2424, Level A, 36th Floor of the United Government Headquarters Building.
Hua Chengyu stood in front of the window in the corner of the room, looking at the calm of the city below the first area of the A floor, with a solemn face. He knew that such a calm would probably not last long.
Nearly four months have passed since the "Blackbody" civilization launched an all-out war against humanity, and in the face of the overwhelming army of infected people of the "Blackbody" and the powerful forces of the Ruins Continent, the coalition government has been defeated again and again. At the outset of the war, the coalition government lost most of its control over the building system, and the speculation of the building threat theorists became a reality, and the link between the various floors, the "elevator" system, was completely shut down from humanity, and from the A to F floors, in addition to still being able to maintain communication with each other, was in fact in a state of separate battles.
The guards behind him hurried into the room.
"Governance, Sector 12 on Level E is lost." He handed over the latest battle report to Hua Chengyu.
"Put it on the table." Hua Chengyu waved his hand to the guard, and he didn't look back.
For four months, I have become accustomed to such things. With the help of the building system, the "black body" army broke through the restrictions between the compartments, and began to launch a large-scale attack on the human jurisdiction between different levels, and for the first time, human beings discovered that the building system that had brought them more than two hundred years of convenience was actually a threat to human beings, for the "black body", there was no interval limit between levels, and the compartment of the entire building system was useless for the "black body" and the infected, and a large number of infected armies appeared in various jurisdictions on all levels, Fierce battles were fought with government forces stationed in the area. The stubborn fighting of the government forces did not turn the tide of the war, and the army was quickly routed under the pressure of a large number.
Humanity has lost nearly 60 percent of its territory, and the scope of its fall is still expanding.
As the A floor is the political center of the entire human race in the building system, the army of infected people in the A layer is progressing very quickly, so far, except for the 1st area and the 2-6 districts responsible for the arch guard 1, the rest of the jurisdictions have all been lost, and the "black body" has formed a situation of encirclement of the coalition government headquarters on the A floor, judging from the situation sent by the military leaders of each layer, although the "black body" has different priorities in the rest of the layers, but the situation is generally not optimistic.
In this dire situation, the government army can no longer protect the people in the occupied areas, and the number of people is so large that the army cannot take care of the majority of the people when retreating, and in fact, it is no longer able to provide protection for those people.
The communicator on the table flashed red. Hua Chengyu got in touch.
"Governance, emergency," the voice on the other end of the communicator looked anxious, "Central 1 on the C floor is under siege by the army of the infected, and the situation is critical. ”
Hua Chengyu put down the communicator and immediately went to the command headquarters of the "Heiti" Countermeasures Bureau, which was already full of high-level officials of the coalition government, and they were also informed of this information.
At present, due to the closure of the "elevator" system, there is no way for the various floors to work together, that is to say, whether it is the United Government Headquarters on the A floor or other levels, they cannot give any help to the C floor, and everything can only be solved by the army and the people on the C floor.
The infected, who had been entrenched in several areas under the control of the C-layer government forces and were in a confrontation with the government forces, suddenly launched an attack on all the C-level jurisdictions a few hours ago, and the tide of troops pressed towards the defense line built by the government forces.
Within a few hours, the C-tier government forces had lost all of their territory except Central Sector 1, and now all government forces were besieged in Sector 1 by the army of the infected, unable to move.
With no reinforcements outside, a shortage of ammunition inside, and a huge number of infected people, it was only a matter of time before it fell.
Hua Chengyu connected to the communication of Admiral Leiton, the top military commander of the C layer.
"Supreme Commander of the C-Tier Government, Admiral Layton." A quiet voice came from the other end of the communicator.
"I'm Hua Chengyu."
"Governing." Layton responded.
"Tell me about the situation over there."
"The "black" army has completely surrounded the entire 1st District, and all other jurisdictions have fallen into the hands of the infected, and now the number of government troops besieging in the 1st District is about 200,000, excluding the wounded, there are 170,000 people still capable of fighting, and we are facing the number of infected people, and the monitors on our side show that there are at least millions of people, not counting the number of people cruising in other occupied areas."
"We are short of ammunition supplies, we don't have enough troops." Leiden calmly reported the situation to Hua Chengyu, and there was no trace of panic and despair in his tone.
All the officers in the headquarters of the Directorate of Countermeasures bowed their heads in disappointment.
"How long can it last?" Hua Chengyu asked him.
The communicator seemed to hesitate.
"The line of defense can only last for another two hours at most, and the collapse of the line of defense means the loss of the entire jurisdiction."
"But we'll fight them to the last man, the last bullet." Leiden seemed to be making a promise to Hua Chengyu.
"We will not give in, whether it is the army, or the people besieged in District 1, whether they are armed or unarmed, in power, we will resist until the last moment." There was a resolute look in Layton's tone.
Hua Chengyu nodded, although Leiden couldn't see the scene.
"Admiral Layton, good luck to you."
"Good luck to you warriors." Hua Chengyu said.
The communicator's red glow gradually dimmed.
He turned to face everyone. "Mobilize all forces to the perimeter to prevent a sudden attack by the inspired."
His tone paused. "Gentlemen, the decisive moment is coming."
