Chapter Seventy-One: When a Man Is Killed, He Dies

Tower of Babel, seventy-seven floors.

The tense atmosphere in the conference room has eased as the city defense system has been put on the right track, and the city map on the projection screen has been colored red and blue, clearly divided into two major areas, the red *** domain of the enemy-occupied area, and the blue *** domain recaptured by the enemy army, symbolizing the light points of the rebels and the automatic defense battery, they are sometimes entangled, sometimes separated, sometimes appear in the opponent's control area, and sometimes suddenly turn into gray that is annihilated by the logo when the light points are entangled.

The ministers had found the backbone after Dr. Hyde's return, and they quickly stabilized and began to arrange the evacuation and evacuation of civilians as required, while Dr. Hyde remotely controlled the battery through the terminal, while staring at the map on the projection screen, the edges of the control areas of the two sides were magnified to show a kind of interlaced and interconnected zigzag, these edge areas were constantly surrounded by enemy resistance, or the light points of their own automatic turrets were extinguished, and the surrounding areas were painted with other colors, But soon these areas will be recaptured by the reinforcements of the points of light

It has been a few hours since the city defense system was activated, and the sky outside is still covered with yellow-brown haze, which makes it difficult to tell the exact time, and the fierce exchange of fire in the city seems to be evenly matched, but the overall advantage in the city is tilted towards the Haide side, because compared to the resistance army that invaded the city at the beginning, the number left is now less than one of the previous ones, and there are many resistance troops that have been encircled and may be annihilated by automatic turrets at any time.

Hyde couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the blocks that kept changing colors.

Noticing the change in his mood, Johnson suddenly asked, "Doctor, what's wrong?"

This approach, unlike Jekyll's means, Hyde frowned, he stretched out his hand and dotted a few dots on the projection screen, pointing to a few entangled points of light in the red and blue edge area: Look here, here, and here

Johnson looked in the direction he pointed, those areas had changed color many times, and several rebels in the encirclement tried to break through several times, but they were always blocked back by the automatic turrets raised in batches, and the map color had been switched back and forth between red and blue several times under the continuous outbreak of fighting, and if the frequency of switching was a little faster, it might even cause epilepsy, which made Johnson a little strange: it looks like the counterattack is very powerful, but is there anything wrong with this?

The problem is big Hyde shook his head, these vanguard troops have been fighting alone in the city until now, almost emptied by our automatic turrets, and the large army outside the city is still friendly and immovable, this is the biggest problem The commander who commanded these rebels was definitely not Jekyll.

Jekyll?

This familiar name flashed in Johnson's mind, but he didn't have a specific character image in his mind, because he didn't know this person, and he hadn't even seen it, but he had heard this name from Dr. Hyde's mouth countless times, and he had heard about this person's deeds countless times, but judging from the other party's nostalgic tone and slightly nostalgic expression, it should be an old acquaintance of the doctor.

Coupled with the identity of the rebels, maybe it is because of the brain-computer revolution and Dr. Hyde's acquaintance who has become enemies. But Johnson doesn't find this surprising: because this kind of person can say too much in the brain-computer revolution, in the early days of the extremist group assassination, the few people who decided to follow Hyde to change the world are all betrayals, spurned by friends, angrily reprimanded by relatives, and accused by lovers.

At that time, they were faced with a situation in which their relatives and friends were instigated by others to turn against them, and even people all over the world were making enemies of them.

But what does this have to do with whether it is Jekyll or not? How do you see that? But questions immediately arise, and Johnson wondered.

Hyde looked at the color exchange on the map, and suddenly showed a smile: Jekyll is a good man, he will not let his subordinates fall into this kind of needless tug-of-war, let alone sit outside to watch the show, and it is impossible to let his subordinates inflict atrocities on the weak, judging from the previous video, our enemies may want to borrow our hands to eradicate some non-combustible garbage

Are you saying that the commander behind the rebels is deliberately sending these enemies to the front line to die? Johnson immediately understood, but then more doubts came: he

Are you so sure you're going to take the load?

Hyde smiled: In this case, I really have to take over the burden he threw over

But isn't this playing into the hands of the other party?

Because we don't have a choice. Hyde glanced up at Johnson, then lowered his head and continued the operation in his hand, while saying unhurriedly: I don't know if it's a coincidence or necessity, they happened to choose to enter the mechanical city in the state of Sibylla downtime and the defense system was all ineffective, pointing directly at the Tower of Babel, our core lifeline, if we don't want to end here, we can only set off the hole cards to resist, otherwise we can only sit and wait for death, so we have no choice from the beginning, we must help him clean up these burdens, He can even use these people's deaths to promote our brutality

Exploring the way, cleaning up the internal baggage, and adding a wave of morale to your own side, it is really a good way to kill three birds with one stone

In just a few words of conversation, a constantly flickering red light on the projection screen had been extinguished, and the red enemy-occupied area was quickly dyed blue.

What's more, I believe that even if we don't have an automatic defense system in the city, or if we are not ready to fight them at all, the commander behind the other side must have other means to clean up these scum, but I don't know whether to send loyal elite troops to hunt down and kill them in the future, or use the crimes committed by these people in the city as a handle and evidence of the crime

Johnson listened secretly and couldn't help asking: If it was Jekyll, what would he do?

The expression on his face began to become a little strange, if it was Jekyll, he would probably tell you that if people are killed, they will die. Life is not something to be given up! Cherish your life and do not die lightly. This kind of brainless preaching, and then he took the lead and rushed to the battlefield

Mechanical city, northern suburbs wasteland.

If a person is killed, it will die, Jekyll sighed and stopped, looking at Elizabeth and the Crimson Queen who stubbornly followed, and he didn't know how many times he persuaded him bitterly: You have to think clearly, the trip to the mechanical city is very dangerous, and it is a high-risk area to move forward from here, you may be discovered by drones at any time, you may be captured by drones or even killed, life is not something to be abandoned, you can wait for Wu Ming and them to come out in a safe area

Originally, Jekyll was going to show the two little girls the way and let them go back to the underground shelter as soon as possible. But after hearing that he had helped him a few days ago, and Wu Ming and Zhao Xida, who had been very busy with the Tiehua Troupe, infiltrated the mechanical city in order to find the electronic components of the Crimson Queen, and hit the idea of the perfect body that was taken away by the tyrant Hyde, he had one more reason to go to the mechanical city to see if he could take advantage of the chaos to rescue these two benefactors who had helped the Tiehua regiment a lot.

But along the way, these two little girls who don't know the world don't seem to have any nervousness at all, and they are not worried about the whereabouts and current situation of Wu Ming and Zhao Xida, they are happy as if they are going out on an outing, obviously looking well protected by Wu Ming, which makes Jekyll even more worried: he is worried that in the end, he will not be able to save Wu Ming due to his lack of strength, so that these little girls will be helpless and difficult to survive from now on.

Elizabeth, who has heard hundreds of sermons along the way, should have heard calluses in her ears, but she always replied with a smirk on her face as if she had heard it for the first time: But I'm not human, I shouldn't have to worry about dying

Jekyll himself didn't know how many times he felt powerless in communication, this silly girl's brain circuit seemed to be completely different from his, and no matter what he said, the other party would never understand what it meant.

The crimson queen on the screen seemed to be a little more mature, not like Elizabeth, who was always carefree, she nodded, and the crisp Google Lady synthesis voice came: Big brothers have been gone for a long time Crimson is worried about them

When she said this, the Scarlet Queen smiled secretly in her heart: I feel that something interesting will happen on the big brother's side, and I must grab a first-class seat this time, although it is also interesting to listen to the story of the big brother, but occasionally Crimson also wants to witness the story with her own eyes

This is what the Crimson Queen really wants to go to the City of Machines, or at some point later

The idea that came after a future observation

As for Elizabeth

She had already thrown Zhao Xida's advice and threats to her before leaving into the clouds, just as the puppet girl predicted, with the passage of time, the restraining effect of the threats and exhortations to her before leaving was constantly decreasing, and now she had forgotten all about it, coupled with the emotions and thoughts that the crimson queen intentionally or unintentionally leaked from the spiritual link, this silly girl who was easily encouraged also forgot the original intention of acting without authorization, and followed Jekyll through the mountains and forests with a stupid face, all the way to the edge of the mechanical city.

Seeing that the two of them were so determined, mainly the Crimson Queen, Jekyll sighed again, and his heart was big enough to flip the table, no matter how bad he was, he could at least ensure the safety of the two girls, and after leaving, he reluctantly agreed to the two of them's somewhat excessive request: Okay, I will try my best to protect your safety on the road, but you can't act without permission, otherwise even if it is by forcible means, I will take you out of the mechanical city and send you back to the settlement

Elizabeth nodded like garlic, but Jekyll was now skeptical that she understood what he was saying, but he didn't want to care so much about it, he took a deep breath and turned his head to look at the building complex that was almost close at hand

The enemy is in the Tower of Babel!
