"You'd better calm down."

Looking at the power armor that took a step forward, the Holy Son did not panic, but smiled faintly and said in a very soft voice.

"Just in case, I have a ton of metal hydrogen explosives in this warehouse······ Any unidentified biometric information entering the identification zone will trigger an explosive device. ”

This madman······

Fang Chang looked at him in astonishment and stopped his steps forward.

"Are you crazy?"

The Holy Son said softly.

"It may seem to you, but I know exactly what I'm doing."

"Then you should know very well that you're just doing this for a pointless resistance," Fang Chang stared at him dead and continued, "Surrender, you've already lost." ”

As he spoke, Fang Chang sent instructions to the team going to the security room, asking them to implant the cracking program made by Xiao Qi into the security system of the vault, and try to find the location of those bombs.

As if he had heard some funny joke, the Holy Son said with a faint smile.

"The Heavenly Kingdom of Haiya Province has indeed come to an end, but it is too early to talk about us having lost.

Without waiting for Fang Chang to speak, he continued.

"In fact, my soul is already one and a half million kilometers away from here, and the reason why you can see me here is only because I want to see you at the end.

"Meet us?" Fang Chang frowned slightly, staring intently at the guy in front of him who was pretending to be a ghost.

What made him care more was actually another piece of information revealed in this guy's words.

1.5 million km······ Lagrange point?

The Torch Church hierarchy uploaded their minds to one of the Lagrange satellites or space stations?

He didn't intend to explain what he said, but the Son just smiled faintly.

"Or what do you think? Without my acquiescence, would a brain soaked in a petri dish have the ability to sneak out from under my nose? ”

“······ Actually, only the brain ····· left."

There were staccato voices coming from the communication channel, and it was clear that Karen's body was quite devastated.

Fang Chang didn't have time to comfort her for the time being, just stared intently at the Holy Son who was standing behind the rows of cultivation tanks.

"And now? Your curiosity should have been satisfied. ”

"Yes," the Son nodded, and continued in a crisp voice, "after meeting you, many of the perplexities in my heart have been answered. You are a complete form of life in another sense, and a possibility that I have not conceived before······ Actually, we could have worked together, and that's my biggest miscalculation of the situation in the wasteland. ”

"Then you're really insulting us," Fang Chang smiled, looking at this arrogant guy with disdain, "We're never going to cooperate with a thing like you again." ”

The Holy Son was not angry, but said with a faint smile.

"I'm talking about the technical sense, and you can't deny that there is a possibility······ Of course, that's all for now, and I really shouldn't expect you remnants of the old days to understand our ideals.

"Your Ideal ······" Fang Chang sighed, "To be honest, whether you are good or Charas, you guys, what you say is better than what you sing, and you talk about theories one after another, but in the end, you don't even dare to stand up and take responsibility and admit your mistakes." Afraid of what? You have so much reason to stand on the judgment seat, and perhaps we will be persuaded by you? ”

The Son looked at him in silence, as if speechless, trying to refute but not coming up with anything suitable.

"Say whatever you want, after all, you're the winners······"

Eventually, he dropped the sentence and ended the topic hastily.

However, as if to save some face, the Holy Son paused for a moment and continued.

"But don't rejoice too soon, your victory is only temporary."

"The Celestials are back."

"And came back a long time ago."

"No one can resist the ultimate evolution! No one! ”

Almost at the same time as his voice fell, the voice of another group of team members came from Fang Chang's communication channel.

"The hacking program has been implanted! Biometrics are off! The self-destruct device has been eliminated!

"Roger."

Fang Chang, who had been paused in front of the stairs for a long time, took another step forward.

Looking at Fang Chang, who had entered the biometric area like a normal person, the Holy Son's face was filled with a moment of surprise, but it was only for a moment.

"I see, it looks like it's time for me to quit the game" You have too much nonsense! ”

Fang Chang quickly pulled out the tranquilizer gun, aimed at his chest and unceremoniously pulled the trigger.

However, at this moment, an unexpected scene happened.

The moment the pale blue tracer light hit the Son's chest, the latter's body inflated like a swollen balloon.

His limbs and facial features were twisted together, as if he had been injected with some unstable genetic modification agent.

"We'll meet again—"

With that, he exploded into a burst of maniacal laughter, scattering blood and shredded flesh all over the room.

The players froze. Bai Zhisni swallowed spittle. "Good guys······ Self-destructed? ”

The prop belt master couldn't help but tsk his tongue.

"It's not even a whole corpse for yourself."

This guy is a ruthless man······

Obviously, as the Son said, they had uploaded their thoughts to a server 1.5 million kilometers away.

That's the way out they left for themselves.

As for the flesh that remained in the "mortal world", it was originally a dispensable thing for them.

Fang Chang didn't know where that guy's confidence came from, so much so that when he was dying, he was still there and unashamedly saying something, "Your victory is only temporary".

But there was one more clue that made him care.

“······ Heaven. ”

What is this?

"My body ······" The sound of sobbing coming intermittently from the communication channel interrupted his thoughts.

Obviously, not everyone thinks that the flesh is an indifferent burden.

Looking at the heartbroken Kalian, Fang Chang said with a word of comfort.

"On the bright side, at least there's a brain left."

In other words, with the biological technology of these people, it is not difficult to pinch a body again and then put the head back on, right?

He doesn't know much about this kind of professional thing, but it should be feasible in theory.

"You don't understand······ I never dreamed of leaving this shelter. Those people······ They promised me that they would take care of my body for me·····

Karen's voice grew incoherent.

Fang Chang glanced at the drone lying on the ground, then looked at the cultivation tanks soaked in brain flowers, and thought for a while before speaking.

"Well, I really don't understand······ By the way, do you know someone named Hea? ”

“..···· Who? ”

Karen's voice was dazed, like the first time she had heard the name.

And so it was.

Probably having guessed the whole story, Fang Chang sighed lightly.

"Nothing."

If he guessed correctly, the blue coats of Vault 117 must have uploaded their consciousness to a server 1.5 million kilometers away a long time ago······

At the same time that the team led by Captain Fang successfully suppressed Vault 20, a shuttle-shaped scientific research ship was quietly parked in the abandoned city not far from the entrance of the vault.

I saw that next to the research ship, more than a dozen explorers wearing exoskeletons were standing quietly, only making brief exchanges in the communication channel.

"I didn't expect the league to take the lead." One of the explorers had a solemn expression on his face, as if he was overwhelmed by the unexpected.

It's not just the Willantes who are interested in the Gestalphant Life Formation project, they are also interested in the Singularity-level research project.

The Academy had been able to get the coordinates of Vault 20 a long time ago, and they had come here to retrieve the technical data stored in the Vault.

But it was clear that they were a step too late.

"What's next?" Looking at the highest-ranking prospector in the team, the slightly younger explorer asked.

"What to do······ Did you snatch it from them?

"Actually, it's not necessary, I just thought that it would be a good thing to throw this trouble into the hands of the Alliance.

"Oh?"

"The Willantes should have noticed the situation here, and a team of 1,000 men is heading towards this area······ Hehe, I hope they don't fight because of the uneven distribution of the spoils.

"I don't think so.

"Either way or not, it's time for us to withdraw."

There was no point in staying any longer, and more than a dozen explorers returned to the research ship one after another.

A pale blue plasma plume erupted from the engine vent, and the long shuttle-shaped research ship melted silently into the night, just as it had quietly arrived.

At the same time that the Academy's research ships were withdrawing from the battlefield, the battle that broke out in the abandoned city finally entered the white heat.

As if sensing the departure of the Holy Son, the Knights of the Holy Light, who had been maintaining a steady and steady offensive, suddenly launched a near-suicidal raid towards a battalion led by the Murderous Dagger.

I saw a paladin wearing power armor suddenly roaring and rushing out of cover.

The guy was like a mad monster, ignoring the hail of bullets that blasted at his face, striding into the players' faces, and then using his sturdy and powerful shoulder armor to directly collapse an entire concrete wall, startling the players leaning behind him.

"Long live the Holy Son!!"

The paladin roared, his rifle thumping and thumping, and the flying tracer light swooped down like lightning on the exoskeleton-clad players around him.

However, the players are obviously not vegetarians, especially the people standing here are all high-level players of the Burning Corps.

The crowd, who were taken by surprise, quickly distanced themselves from the mad elite monster.

A half-crouched player skillfully pulled out the RPG bazooka and fired an armor-piercing bullet straight out, slamming into the right shoulder of the power armor!

The sparks and smoke of the explosion shook the power armor backwards, but it didn't kill it, it just crashed it to the ground.

Seeing that the Alliance's defenses were breached, the soldiers wearing exoskeletons also rushed out of cover, shouting slogans and rushing towards the players' defenses.

Although it was impossible to see how many people there were in the black light, there was a platoon just listening to the gunshot!

The other player crouching next to him didn't hesitate to pull out the shelling beacon and throw it directly.

"Hidden!!" He let out a loud roar and fell to the ground first.

Seeing that the paladin in power armor was about to struggle to his feet, a 155mm ground-penetrating bullet suddenly slammed through the dome and slammed into his feet.

"Boom !!"

Not only the crumbling power armor, but also the thirty or forty light infantry wearing exoskeletons who rushed up from behind, all of them were engulfed in the flames of the explosion!

The scorching shock wave swept across the battlefield, and the hot dust even blew out hundreds of meters away.

A group of players who were lying down and hiding got up from the ground one after another.

Looking at the battlefield with a trace of white smoke rising, many people had shocked expressions on their faces.

"·····."

"Are these dogs crazy?"

"Don't give people a head like this·····."

At first, everyone thought it was just an accident, but soon everyone realized that it was not an accident.

It's not just a single apostle or a certain paladin who has gone crazy, it's everyone on the battlefield!

As if they had already decided that they would not be able to win the war in any case, they launched a desperate attack in desperation, trying to seek ultimate relief from death.

The murderous dagger could feel that the group of guys standing in front of him at this moment were no longer fighting for some distorted beliefs or ideals, but were just seeking a relief.

Although most of his men have suffered casualties, in the face of such an opponent whose morale has collapsed, there is no chance to turn the tables!

Shooting a soldier of the Knights of Light who rushed forward head-on, the Killer Dagger quickly changed the magazine of the rifle in his hand while shouting loudly in the communication channel. "Hold on!

"Our enemy is already at the end of the crossbow! They won't last long!

At the same time as his words fell, another loud roar was heard in the distance.

Hearing that voice, the Murderous Dagger's mood sank slightly.

Mutants! It's the roar of mutants!

The opponent who had been in the crossfire was suddenly replaced by a bunch of people wearing power armor and exoskeletons, so much so that he almost forgot that this was actually mutant territory.

The angry roar seemed to swear the Yandong Clan's sovereignty over the ruins.

As if sensing that the allies with reinforcements were about to lose, a group of green-skinned guys with large-caliber rifles were back in front of their position.

The tide of battle has taken a turn for the worse!

The killing dagger has even been silently prepared in his heart for three days.

But at this moment, a voice like an ordinary voice came from the communication channel.

“······ This is Lao Bai, and Vault 20 has been controlled. ”

"I'm sorry, brothers of the first battalion, you've been waiting for a long time!
