However, he didn't need to continue pondering, because the flames suddenly rose from under his feet. A massive explosion was created, and a violent shockwave shook the ground, leaving the entire tarmac vulnerable. The liftable tarmac swayed in the continuous explosion of firelight, and finally could not continue to support it and collapsed into several pieces, and then fell suddenly from a height of 100 meters.

"What...... Such an explosion?" Yuan Hao had never imagined that such a change would happen, and the sudden cracking of the ground under his feet made the Vanguard Gundam he controlled unbalanced.

In the scorching fire and thunderous roar, Yuan Hao, who was at a disadvantage, became more and more calm, and the physical fitness of the great martial arts master was perfectly displayed......

As the images on the screen in front of him flowed, Yuan Hao quickly judged that his body had regained its balance.

"Very good...... Yuan Hao's heart settled down, the posture nozzle opened, the main thruster pulled up, and through the propulsion generated by the backpack, he reduced the speed of his fall, and finally stood at the bottom of the tarmac in a slight shock.

The apron has several floors, each of which bears witness to the development of Zion. It didn't start with six layers, but it grew up layer by layer as Zion grew. Its existence is proof of Zion's strength, and its fall seems to be proof of Zion's decay.

However, Yuan Hao didn't pay attention to this for now. The sudden explosion just now caused heavy losses to the mecha units that were still holding on to the tarmac, including the MS troops. Almost two-thirds of the mechs and MSs were unable to fight in this explosion collapse. Either the pilot was knocked unconscious by a heavy blow, or the body was buried in the wreckage and could not move.

In short, this round of explosions destroyed most of Yuan Hao and his direct forces in the blink of an eye.

"Damn it...... What the hell is going on?" Yuan Hao looked at the misery of his troops, and while scolding in his heart, he was also puzzled: "When will the mechanical octopus of the matrix play such a trick." ”

Needless to say, as far as the explosion just now is concerned, it was definitely caused by human rape inside Zion.

It's just that Yuan Hao is a little strange, and the defense line on the apron can be said to have been completely penetrated by the mechanical octopus. Although the gap was filled due to the lack of funds and joining the defensive line, in terms of the number of mechanical octopuses, they were still able to reverse all this with a larger force.

Why don't they use such a strange method instead of a simple and direct method? And the time for their launch is still after their own arrival. It didn't feel like it was being done to solve the resistance of the tarmac, but someone was deliberately targeting it.

"This ......," Yuan Hao's brows furrowed slightly.

Just as Yuan Hao's mind was turning, a voice descended from the sky: "Mr. Yuan Hao, you are still as useless as ever in this world." ”

With a faint nasal voice, an imperceptible sense of superiority, and that condescending posture, Yuan Hao couldn't be more familiar with all of this - Smith.

A huge metal mass slowly descended, countless arcs of electricity jumped back and forth in the metal ball, the dark golden arc condensed a powerful force, and every trace of escape would emit a deafening roar, and countless mechanical octopuses formed a pattern in the shape of a face, and that face was none other than Smith.

In Yuan Hao's perception, a sphere emitting ten thousand golden rays of light was suspended in front of him. Its rays are as fierce as the sun, each light emitting heart-pounding energy fluctuations, and the code of each ray of light surging wildly in a tyrannical form never before seen. And as long as the spiritual fluctuations emitted by Yuan Hao touched it, they were ruthlessly devoured by this sphere, like a black hole.

"Déjà vu, right?" said the huge face, and as it spoke, the mechanical octopus fluctuated at an eerie frequency, vividly interpreting all expressions, and of course making his voice louder, "We used to face each other like this, and I, who was once one step away from killing you, was able to escape many times in that situation." Mr. Yuan Hao, I have never met someone as lucky as you. This time, though, you're finally running out of luck. ”

Yuan Hao calmed down the fluctuations in his heart, controlled his body, and calmly asked, "Where is Neo?"

The huge face laughed, "As I expected, your first question was about the Savior." It's just that you should be able to figure it out, too. Now that I'm here, why do you think he still has a chance of survival?"

"I don't think so. Don't lie to me!" Yuan Hao said lightly: "When facing you, he will never give up, because he still has hope." ”

Smith's expression seemed to froze for a moment: "Worthy of the person Neo trusts the most, you don't spend much time with him, but you have surprisingly trust in each other...... Yes, yes, but so what? What do you have left but hope? Hmph, that old guy is right...... Hope is only the most beautiful illusion of humanity, and it is the greatest source of your strength and weakness. ”

Are you looking down on humans again?

Regarding Smith's always obvious sense of superiority, Yuan Hao didn't show any disgust to show it, he just asked calmly: "You haven't answered my question yet." ”

"Oh yes, of course. Smith made an exaggerated expression, "Because you're still hopeful." That's right, your savior isn't dead yet, and that old guy wants to balance the equation and bring the matrix back into his control by the way, what a calculation!

It's a pity that I'm beyond his authority to merge the French and the fortune teller, I could have killed the savior and ruined his calculations, but this guy can continue to survive on the remnants of the matrix...... So, I made a deal with him, and that's why I'm in Zion personally. ”

Although Smith's tone was still arrogant, Yuan Hao could hear a lot of different things, especially Neo's news shocked him, and his strong spiritual power immediately made him deduce the meaning of the subtext:

"The matrix has not completely collapsed, and the humans of the matrix have survived, and even formed a certain degree of symbiosis with Neo, so outside of the mathematical equation, you have once again formed a relationship between the two sides of the same body. If you kill him, you will not be doomed.

You are each other's deaths, in this case, Neo has chosen me, and it is up to me to decide the fate of mankind, if you can kill me and destroy Zion, then he willingly become your vassal, if you are defeated by me......"

As Yuan Hao's reasoning deepened step by step, Smith's expression also underwent a series of changes, from disdain to unwillingness, from surprise to shock, until he finally became angry and embarrassed, until he suddenly interrupted Yuan Hao: "Enough! Who do you think you are? Defeat me? You won't have any chance!"

His voice became louder and louder, and the mechanical octopus began to move from wriggling, and by the time he said the last sentence, the mechanical octopus had turned into a rampaging mess, the frequency of the dark golden arc jump skyrocketed, and the violent air explosion sound also increased instantly.

Speaking of this, Smith suddenly woke up: Why did he react so strongly? Is it because the other party saw through him? He quickly calmed down, and the mechanical octopus also recovered from the rampage, and the dark golden arc also disappeared into the group of mechanical octopuses again: "Sorry, I just changed my new body, and I'm still a little uncomfortable."

Speaking of which, this is the first time I have come out of the matrix, and I have to say that this real world is even worse than the matrix! I can't understand why such an unbearable thing still exists, why? There are still people who don't even want their lives in order to exist for it? There can only be one explanation: inferior species and stupid choices. ”

Smith's attention turned back to Yuan Hao: "Do you need me to say it again?As the first human in hundreds of years to have the key to the door of evolution, you can choose to either die, or join us and become a higher-level life form with me." ”

As he spoke, more mechanical octopuses poured in from the hole above his head. They seemed to know what was going on, but without saying a word, they swooped down on the fallen tarmac. While the remaining soldiers were still a little dazed, they came close to the mechs. More than a dozen steel tentacles tightly pulled the limbs of the APU mecha, and the force was so strong that the APU mecha couldn't even turn the muzzle. In the pilot's struggles, the mechanical octopus lifted one of its tentacles and retracted slightly, revealing a very sharp tip.

"No ......" The driver's roar was earth-shattering. He watched the opposite sharp approach to him little by little, and every second seemed to be very long. In the case of achieving absolute superiority, the mechanical octopus attack is not fast, as if it is enjoying the thrill of killing the enemy. Such a move made the driver's roar begin to be mixed with endless sadness and despair, and the cannon began to shoot aimlessly, looking more like a feeble dying throes.

Everything happened behind Yuan Hao, although he didn't see it with his own eyes, Yuan Hao could fully imagine the sadness and powerlessness in it, so he frowned slightly.

Smith saw all this with a smile, he didn't mind it, and even commented with interest: "Look, this is the epitome of this war, no one can save him, and neither can humans." You stupidly appear here, which in itself is a mistake. And for your mistake, you have to pay with your life. It's not just you, it's everyone here. ”

"That's not necessarily!" Yuan Hao replied coldly, controlling the body to jump up, completing a 180-degree turn in an instant, and the 40mm Vulcan cannon in his head shot out continuously, and a string of bullets accurately hit the tentacles of those mechanical octopuses, directly breaking their tentacles at once.

The mechanical octopus's offensive and postural control methods are mainly achieved by relying on tentacles. Now that their tentacles are broken, they naturally have no ability to attack.

And the roar of the explosion and the sudden flash of fire woke the driver from despair. After he realized that he had escaped death, he shouted excitedly. He was interrupted by another group of rushing mechanical octopuses, but the pilot had completely put aside his fear and despair and fought back with confidence.

Yuan Hao moved quickly, but in an instant, before Smith could react, Yuan Hao turned around and stood in front of him. The dexterity of the Vanguard Gundam surprised Smith as well. He never thought that robots, especially large ones, could be as dexterous as humans. After all, that huge volume is out there.

"That's a nice robot......" Smith complimented, but the disgust on his face remained, and he scoffed, "But what's the point?

Mr. Yuan Hao, your actions are only delaying his death and making him struggle in despair for a while longer. And there's a million mechanical octopuses here, and me! How much do you think you can save in the face of such a powerful us?

The demise of Zion is predestined, as is the demise of humanity. Look at your bodies! I admit that you have good heads and great mental powers, but it is sad that such a bright head and spirit should be attached to such a weak flesh and blood!

You see how fragile the human body is, such a weak person has no reason to exist. Even if you create powerful armor for yourself.

Join us! You have rejected me, but now is no longer the case, and your wisdom should be able to see that the destruction of Zion is only a matter of time, and that there is no hope for humanity in this war.

And you, Mr. Yuan Hao, leave the matrix, your power is a joke in front of me, with your current situation, even if you don't have to do it with my hands, your body will die in front of the huge mechanical octopus, this shouldn't be your end.

I appreciate you and I'm willing to give you a chance. Choosing to be eternal life or to be swept into the dustbin of history, I guess there is nothing to hesitate about. ”

"......" Yuan Hao didn't respond, he just controlled the body, stretched out his right hand, clenched his fist, stopped when it was at the same height as Smith, and then poked out his middle finger. There was nothing offensive about it, but it was full of contempt and provocation.

Smith fully understood what Yuan Hao meant: "Sure enough. Obviously you can survive, but you want to choose death, you have a chance to become a god, but you have to mix with garbage, such a stupid and stubborn guy will be pinned on the last hope by the savior.

Hahaha, providence, really providence. When your death period is over, it will be his turn. In that case, let you see the new species as it really is, and you will know what you have missed with your stupidity and stubbornness. ”

As Smith's voice grew cold, the wriggling animatronic insects began to fly outward, the huge face quickly disintegrated, and the dark red lava-like light gradually contracted and faded, and finally, a brilliant figure appeared.
