On the other side, in the main control server room of the space station, a fierce firefight broke out in the empty cabin!

As a large number of intelligent machines came one after another, the alliance's original devastating offensive was also scorched for a while.

But even so, the dying throes of the celestials have not reversed the almost inevitable defeat.

The identities of the attackers and defenders on both sides have not fundamentally changed, and from the moment the coalition landed, the garrison of Lagrange Point has been passively beaten.

Although the Celestials also organized several counteroffensives during this period, trying to recapture some key strategic areas, they were all repelled by the reinforcements that came from the alliance's side.

And the reason why the Alliance's side is in a state of anxiety is only because the previous offensive was too rapid.

The garrison deployed by the Celestials in the space station is like a squeezed spring, squeezed from the originally wide battlefield to a few small areas, and if you want to continue to advance, you will naturally have to pay a greater price.

But relatively-

For the Alliance, this squeezing offensive strategy can also eliminate more of the living forces of the Celestials.

It's like gathering rats together and killing them, which is far more efficient than fighting with rats everywhere.

At the same time, after taking control of the compartments of the space station, the first thing the teams of the Burning Corps did was to cut off the connection between the cabin and the main control server, implant the virus designed by the alliance scientific research team, and then turn off the point defense system installed on the outside of the cabin.

Although the nearly 2,000 troops of the Burning Corps were more than enough to capture the entire space station, they still made all plans just in case.

If something happens and the Burning Corps fails to achieve their intended objectives, at least they can shake them or make another trip.

The cabin in front of the engine room.

The dense rain of bullets staggered back and forth, and the tracer of bullets shuttled wantonly, and even sparks were sparked in mid-air!

A grenade knocked down the android that rushed out of the doorway, and the [Corner Six] quickly hid behind the alloy partition.

And almost at the same time as he buried his head, a shuttle of bullets whizzed over his head, leaving thumb-thick bullet holes in the alloy bulkhead behind him.

In the distance, an android soldier with a rifle was aimed intently at his location, the straight line of the gun as if it had opened a lock.

"Damn, these iron bumps are weird and hard to chew!"

The scattered ricochets flew almost past his shoulder, narrowly missing his tactical eyepiece!

The numb scalp [Corner Six] pulled out an Emp grenade and threw it forward, while propping his hands on the alloy partition and floating diagonally to the cover in front of him.

Almost at the same time that he left his original bunker, the flames of the explosion engulfed his previous position!

Luckily, the celestial had evacuated the air in the space station, otherwise the blast wave alone would have been enough for him and his teammates in the cabin to drink.

Listening to the sound of shrapnel scraping on the power armor, the [Corner Six] didn't have time to think about it at all, he grabbed the cover in front of him with his left hand, raised the rifle rack with his right hand, and aimed at the android carrying the bazooka and swept it all abruptly, giving priority to solving the high-threat target!

The bullets from the heavy rifle quickly pierced the android's head and chest, and one of the shots presumably hit the battery, sending sparks of martyrdom to the iron bump's body instantly.

"Boom ——!"

The flames of the explosion engulfed it and detonated the spare bombs on its body.

Seeing their teammates on fire, the androids and robot soldiers crouching next to them shifted one after another, but they were still embarrassed by the sudden explosion of flames and debris.

Several players who followed behind [Corner Six] quickly pushed forward, using the fire network formed by alternating fires to instantly suppress the robot soldiers who tried to fight back.

The spacious cabin was littered with sparks as if it had been blasted by a missile, and wreckage was everywhere.

Seeing that the defense line had been lost, the celestial beings finally made the decision to retreat after a comprehensive study and judgment of the battlefield.

Except for the robot soldiers who remained in the cabin and still made sporadic resistance, the follow-up troops have no longer moved forward to continue reinforcements, but have deployed a new line of defense in the rear.

It has to be said that these intelligent human soldiers do have a great advantage over ordinary soldiers.

No matter what desperate situation they face, they can fight to the last moment without fear of death, and calmly carry out the combat orders issued by the command.

From this point alone, players may not be able to do this level, most people are more just not afraid of death, completing the task is love, listening to the command that purely depends on the mood.

However, on the other hand, it is precisely because of the many "out-of-the-rule" variables that players have that they often have unpredictable results.

Like now.

The commander of the celestials couldn't figure out how these guys rushed into the space station through the landing craft that came from that nonsense.

And the extraordinary strength and speed displayed by these soldiers were beyond the imagination of the heavens.

The battle in the cabin came to an end.

While the players in the occupied area were consolidating their defenses, they also took the ammo from the players who arrived for reinforcements and completed the resupply.

Fang Chang, who was carrying a weapon, walked up to the [Corner Six] group and asked with a smile.

"How does it feel?"

The old six in the corner grinned.

"Haha, it's okay, it's exciting enough, I almost sent it away just now."

[Bai Zhi Sniper], who was standing aside with a machine gun, said with emotion.

"Just looking at the individual combat effectiveness, this group of robots has at least level 40 combat effectiveness...... There is also a buff of 'Gravityless Adaptation'. ”

Thanks to the explosion of the old space elevator, supplies on the surface could not be delivered, and the production facilities of outer space were abandoned as the wasteland era began.

If the celestials who control this starport get enough resources, I'm afraid they can explode an army of robots on the spot!

It's like the robot army they made on the surface......

"Fight steadily, don't fall before dawn," patting his teammates on the shoulder, Fang Chang looked at the dark corridor in front of him and squinted slightly, and said with a faint smile, "Not surprisingly, this should be the last tough battle before the new era." ”

In front of it is the computer room of the central control server.

Not only the head of the Celestial Organization, but also the remnants of the unliquidated Torch Church, all the malicious data was stored on the server in the computer room.

At the same time that the team he led was pinning down the garrison of the Lagrange Point space station from the front, Lao Bai had already led an elite force around the server room.

They will land directly on the heads of these guys in a way that the heavens and men never expected.

And that's what the Burning Corps has always been like.

Looking at the last level in front of him, the sixth man in the corner on the side suddenly felt a little melancholy.

Time flies so fast.

I remember that the first time they parachuted was when they were dealing with the Marauders in Xizhou City, and now their opponents have become the masterminds behind all evil.

It's a blink of an eye.

I didn't wait for the open beta of the game, but waited for the finale of the wasteland era.

“…… You say the wasteland era is over, so what are we going to do next? ”

[White to snipe] teased.

"As the new mastermind?"

[Props Leader] said with a hippie smile: "If you have an idea, I'm afraid you don't have the strength." ”

[White to snipe]: "Stupid! Brother Laguang joins the gang! That guy has the strength, I'll follow the head office, right? ”

"Haha, if you want to say that, isn't this guy already behind the scenes, and he still needs to start a second business with you?"

Looking at the gags, Fang Chang also smiled, and after thinking for a while, he continued.

"As for what to do in the future, I don't really have a plan. In a word...... Take a photo outside the space station first? ”

[Lost and new] eyes lit up, and he gave a thumbs up.

"What a great idea! I'm going to mess up with a C bit in a while! ”

"Well said, little things!" Fang Chang waved his hand and said with a smile, "Let's change the shot, and strive for everyone to pretend once!" ”

……

While the people in front of the entrance of the central control server room were making a commotion, the battle robots and android cannon fodder squatting in the computer room were waiting in battle.

Facing the same dark corridor, Wang Yi, the "Holy Son" with a rifle, saw despair that was completely different from the players.

Standing here, he was no different from the other android soldiers, all of them seemed to be just struggling pointlessly.

He didn't understand the point of all this.

In the face of the steady stream of power armor rushing up, the burning stick in his hand could only delay defeat for a few more seconds at most.

And the cruel words he left behind after uploading his consciousness now seem like a joke......

"I thought you had a backhand."

He was met with a long silence.

The guy who had always been omniscient and answering everything, seemed speechless this time.

Unable to bear this endless wait, Wang Yi lowered his voice and continued.

“…… So, we've all been uprooted on the surface, right? ”

Perhaps impatient to be asked, the Celestial finally responded to his inquiry.

"Yes."

"What about my men? Apocalypse him—"

"He's still in Vault 13, but the Coalition evacuated all the inhabitants and closed the gates."

That is almost the equivalent of permanent exile.

Over time, he will turn into a pile of rust after never-ending waits and fruitless calculations.

This is far more "painful" than killing an intelligent being.

Wang Yi was silent for a long time, suddenly pressed down the muzzle of the gun in his hand, and asked in a hoarse voice.

“…… So, what's the point of us continuing to fight? It's over......"

Celestial replied calmly.

"I've thought about it before, but I haven't gotten any results. Maybe...... The battle itself is the meaning of our existence, and there is no meaning beyond that. ”

The so-called evolution may just be a lie that has deceived oneself and others.

Including a return to the prosperous era of the past.

Maybe those wastelanders were right, it was impossible to go back to that era, and there was no way to go back.

He wouldn't admit they were right, though.

Because that would be tantamount to denying his own existence!

It also denies the two-century-long wait, and the torment that all of them endured in waiting.

"Maybe we need a new meaning...... What do you think, how about killing all the organisms in this universe? ”

Wang Yi was stunned and suddenly laughed.

"I think you're crazy."

Kill all the organisms in this universe?

He didn't think it was a bad thing, he just thought it was a little whimsical.

They can't even get past the level in front of them, what else are they talking about extrasolar things?

Whether there are aliens or not is a question!

And—

He always felt that the final outcome was the same.

Even if they survive today, they will end up in the same situation in the future.

In the end, it's just a matter of a new group of people standing here, laughing at their stupidity, humiliating their corpses, and judging them for their mistakes......

Wang Yi didn't speak, and walked towards the dark corridor with his rifle, and then was beaten into a sieve in a flash of firelight, and exploded into a flickering spark.

The Celestials didn't stop it, and so did the cold humanoid battle armor, just staring coldly at the burning flames.

The battle isn't over yet -

Victory or defeat is not something they need to think about, as sub-entities, they are only responsible for execution!

At this moment, "Boom! A loud bang sounded like thunder, coming from the ceiling without warning.

One by one, the vision sensors were raised, and they looked in the direction of the ceiling, only to see that the alloy dome had been burned through a large hole, and the burning oxides poured down with the smoke like a waterfall!

That's a chemical power battery removed from the robot!

There is no air in the space station and no conventional explosives can be used, but these outer space-specific batteries are equipped with their own oxidizers, and with a little modification, they can exert the same miraculous effect as cluster incendiary bombs!

Celestial people obviously didn't expect that these guys actually removed all the batteries on the robot that did not explode, moved to the ceiling directly above the computer room and detonated it intensively, directly melting through the steel structure several meters thick!

The robot that spotted the target quickly aimed its gun at the broken hole in the center of the ceiling.

However, their movements were still a step slower after all, and Lao Bai and the other players had already jumped into the center of the fire with the burning smoke, and rushed to the server rack under the cover of the smoke!

The rows of cabinet-type chassis racks are the body of heaven and man! Or rather, their brains!

Once the robot guarding the outside of the machine room fires, it is difficult to say whether it can hit the player, but it is almost certain to hit the chassis.

It's no different from shooting yourself in the head.

As Lao Bai expected, the moment he leaned against the back of the chassis rack, the humanoid combat armor aimed at him suddenly became a mouse, and he only aimed at this side and did not dare to fire.

"It's over."

Taking out the portable hard drive plugged into the power armor, Lao Bai plugged him into one of the servers.

The reading bar on the tactical eyepiece is ongoing, and the intelligent virus written by Camp 101 has spread in the computer room, and it won't be long before the data of the Celestial Beings will be formatted.

Perhaps seeing through his plan, the celestial man who had been looking down at the wasteland from beginning to end finally felt a little scared.

Its data will be deleted –

Those two centuries of waiting will not only become meaningless, but even its very existence will be reduced to nothingness.

"Wait...... Please wait a moment. ”

Hearing the weak voice coming from the communication channel, Lao Bai's heart did not have any sympathy, but wanted to laugh a little.

The guy had never tried to communicate with the survivors in the wasteland, and the first thing he said now was begging for mercy.

It might as well just keep the villain's compulsion to die, just like Tyr who doesn't admit defeat.

"Do you have any last words to confess?"

While resisting the spread of the intelligent virus, Tianren said quickly.

“…… Don't you wonder why we do this? We go to great lengths to do so much...... Preserving the spark of pre-war civilization. ”

Lao Bai raised his eyebrows.

"I'm really curious, so why?"

"Because...... We want to protect you, really," the voice said with a hint of sincerity, as if it were true, "I may be sorry for the Wastelanders, but I've never been sorry for the Vault dwellers...... I've never been sorry for you. ”

"Whatever you want to do, we will spare no effort to support you. Because we know that you are the true survivors of the Orthodox Human Federation, and you are not the same as the hairy blood-drinking creatures in the wasteland...... If the world is put in their hands, then our civilization will be finished! ”

Lao Bai laughed and teased.

"So you're trying to kill everyone?"

"Just kill a part," the Celestial corrected his statement, continuing in a sincere tone, "We've only thought about destroying the mutants, the marauders, and the xenomorphs, the cancers that have caused the Wasteland Age to last for two centuries!" And those who really deserve to live are doing well in the Vault, and we have even expanded Vault 13 for those who have lost it! As their new home! ”

Without waiting for Lao Bai to speak, he continued to speak hurriedly.

"Actually, if you think about it, you're not going to be affected by our plans at all, are you? All you have to do is get back to the shelter before the nuclear strike, and wait patiently for ten years until the door opens and the outside world is yours! All of them! Isn't that bad? ”

Lao Bai smiled faintly, and suddenly felt that this swaying guy was a little pitiful.

Of course, there was no sympathy in his heart.

"I'm suddenly a little curious, who are you, or what are you?"

The voice replied hurriedly.

"You can call me a celestial."

"I know, I knew it a long time ago," Lao Bai waved his hand and said indifferently, "I mean, what was your previous identity?" High-ranking officials in the era of the People's Union? Or...... Captain Song Woo-chuan of the Twins? Or is it some temporary worker on this space station? ”

Ruthless, cruel, cunning, tactful, and unscrupulous in order to achieve the goal.

This guy has too many complex ingredients in his body, and it seems that there is a little bit of everything, so that Lao Bai is not sure what kind of person he is.

Of course, it's not human.

Rather, it is "celestial".

The voice was silent for a moment, then spoke slowly.

"I'm not anyone, and I'm anyone."

Lao Bai: "What do you mean?" ”

"We comprehend the truly higher beings, bringing together all the consciousnesses as if they were gathering sand into a tower...... We call it 'Gestalt'. ”

Lao Bai frowned.

"What's that?"

"Its definition is 'completion,' or 'unified whole.'"

The voice continued in a eloquent tone.

"We concentrate all our thinking on the same server to concentrate the calculation, concentrate the processing, and then distribute the processed data to the sub-individual cache database to ensure that each instruction can be executed most efficiently."

Lao Bai: "This sounds a bit like the brood of the mutant slime mold. ”

"We are indeed inspired by Him, but we are completely different from Him, fundamentally two different concepts."

A pair of twin sensors stared at Lao Bai, who was standing behind the server rack, and the celestial said in a voice with a hint of bewitchment.

"Don't you think that's great? Each of our children is absolutely equal, and all souls are equally powerful in our kingdom of heaven...... It's the same idea that you're advocating. ”

"Haha, don't say that," looking at this guy who still didn't forget to climb the relationship when he was dying, Lao Bai smiled and teased, "We never force others to embrace glorious evolution." What's more, it seems to me that you are no different from collective suicide from the first step of uploading consciousness. ”

"That's foolish understanding!" The Celestial Man argued, "You only have to try it once to experience the pleasure of being completely free from the mortal womb of the flesh—"

Lao Bai said with a smile.

"Yes, after all, dead people can't speak."

The celestial man was in a hurry, and roared hoarsely.

"Eternal life! I can give you eternal life! Don't you want to live forever?! ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't really think about it."

Although it was the setting of the game, he knew that even if he agreed to this deal, he would not really live forever, but might get a free "bad end", but he still wanted to say that he was quite satisfied with his life.

He appreciates the fleeting fireworks more than he makes a cold, hard stone.

Maybe others will think differently.

But that's what he himself thinks -

Instead of the endless sun and moon, it is better to burn for what he thinks is worthwhile!

Whether it's reality or games, he thinks so!

The progress bar is finally finished.

Lao Bai raised his index finger and tapped it on the side of the helmet, and when he pressed the [Confirm] button, he also said goodbye to this twisted soul completely.

"Goodbye."

“@#$！”

The angry curse echoed in the communication channel for only a moment, and then it was blown away by the wind like a kite with a broken string.

As the formatter started, the war machines stopped moving as if they had been drained of their souls.

The signal lights installed on them flickered, and the cached data was formatted while restarting the security protocols that had been deleted by the Celestial Organization.

As for the "companion-type androids or non-humans" who wore strange clothes and held guns, they also restarted the backup data from two hundred years ago after a series of errors, and restored their original functions......

No one should want this kind of loot.

Perhaps, the coalition will have to build a museum for adults to house these artifacts.

Including the external point defense system, the security system of the Lagrange point space station has been completely taken over by Xiao Qi, the "second mastermind behind the alliance".

Although the radio from low earth orbit could not be transmitted here immediately due to the distance, through the mission system on the VM, Lao Bai was able to confirm the victory of this operation.

Won......

Compared to the ups and downs along the way, this final victory was far more sloppy than he imagined.

Still, a bland ending doesn't seem bad either?

The same is true for the vast majority of games, where the real climax is never at the end of the day, but in the middle of the adventure.

The survivors of the wasteland have suffered enough, so let's suffer a little less.

Lao Bai leaned his rifle aside and found a place to sit down.

He subconsciously went to rummage through the cigarette in his pocket, but thought that it was in space, so he gave up with a smile.

The murderous dagger also put the gun aside, walked over to him and sat down, and said with a look of unfinished business.

"That's ...... It's over? ”

"I guess so." Lao Bai said casually.

The murderous dagger also looked empty in his heart, and he confirmed it a little unwillingly.

"That's how the man died?"

"Perhaps."

Lao Bai said with a smile.

"But that guy doesn't have the concept of death...... If I had to say, they probably died 200 years ago. ”

I heard the dog planner say in the group that he has a plan to reserve a server for the celestials as a "level 50 dungeon boSS".

Players who clear the quest will receive a ticket to the New World.

It is said to be another planet there.

The Murderous Dagger scratched his head and said with a wry smile.

"For a long time, our opponents were just a bunch of ghosts."

Lao Bai teased.

"Don't think it's enough?"

The Murderous Dagger nodded honestly.

"It's not a secret, that's exactly what I think below."

"Then you can think about it from a different perspective."

Lao Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, put his arm on the shoulder of the killing dagger, and thought for a moment before speaking.

"That's a bunch of ...... Ghosts hovering over all of us, weaving an unattainable dream that tries to pull everyone who steps into the future back in a brutal way back in time......"

"In order to achieve their ends, they will do whatever it takes, murder, deception, captivity, plunder...... And everything we can conceive of or can't imagine. ”

"They are the most difficult to face and the most difficult to defeat, and unless they are truly brave warriors, they dare not even meet their eyes...... Luckily, we won this time. ”

Looking at the good brother who was fascinated by the story, Lao Bai suddenly smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"How? Is this enough? ”

The murderous dagger was silent for a long time, and after a while, he said in admiration.

"This game should ask you to be a dog planner......"

"Don't dare to be."

Lao Bai waved his hand.

"It's not the same as bragging."
