Chapter Seventy-Six: Jekyll and Hyde (Part II)
At midnight, the rising winds and dull thunder and lightning had been brewing in the sky for a long time, and the thunderstorm finally fell.
Trickling raindrops began to fall from the sky, and then the rain quickly became heavier, and soon the entire mechanical city was enveloped in a torrential rain.
Lightning and thunder roared, lightning lit up over the mechanical city in the dull thunder, torrential rain poured down, and the wind whistled through the mechanical city.
An inexplicable chill spread along the wind and rain, and the cold city was shrouded in thick dark clouds.
The intensity of street fighting that exceeded expectations has further increased power consumption, and the city's power reserves have dropped to a predetermined danger line. In order to survive until dawn, the cold, mechanical city cut its power supply even further, and a faint light went out in the cold night, and three-quarters of the city was already in darkness.
The battlefield where the rebels engage the auto-turrets forms a twisted and tangled front that divides the mechanical city into north and south on the map. On the front line of the rain of bullets, the combat vehicles and mechanized soldiers fearlessly launched an attack on the position of the automatic turret, the anti-armor weapons exploded a ball of fire on the combat vehicle, the machine gun turret was shattered by the large-caliber artillery, the soldiers who rushed to the battlefield were sieveed by the shrapnel of machine guns and offensive grenades, and the intensive bombardment from the distant artillery positions burned the designated place into a white ground.
Human life has lost its value here, countless lives are withered on the battlefield every moment, and the city seems to have turned into a monster that chooses people to eat, even if thousands of lives have been buried here, it is still not satisfied, but instead opens its gluttonous mouth, waiting for more fresh life to fill its belly.
It was only under the bad weather of lightning and thunder that did not stop for a moment, and the torrential rain, that the fierce fighting that the two sides had been maintaining was alleviated.
Clearly, the environmental impact of this sudden thunderstorm and torrential rain has had a significant impact on both sides.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the one-eyed man threw away the cigarette butt that had burned to the filter, looked out the window at the increasingly heavy rain and couldn't help but curse: Hell, if the rain continues, we may not be able to complete the advance task as planned
The first to respond and apply to join the battle, the One-Eyed team has always been concerned about the unknown Commander Jekyll, and they immediately rushed into the mechanical city after they got the permission, and soon after they solved the Two-faced team's suppression of the surrounding automatic turrets, they were very lucky to join the follow-up reinforcements, and according to the instructions of the headquarters, all the way to the direction of the Tower of Babel, where Jekyr is most likely to exist.
Ryder walked to the window and looked at the rain curtain with a solemn expression, the position of the automatic turret was already unrecognizable under the cover of the rain curtain, he frowned and asked a little impatiently: Isn't the hindering effect of the rainstorm relative? While our vision and weapon calibration are affected, their combat effectiveness will also be suppressed, right, can't we force a breakthrough in the face of this layer of rainstorm?
Hearing his speech, which had no combat experience in the rain, the one-eyed strong man shook his head: This is not only a matter of vision and weapon calibration, strong thunderstorm weather will bring disturbance to the electromagnetic environment, which is essentially equivalent to a natural wide-area E weapon, many people in the rebel army have undergone mechanized transformation surgery, although the electronic components buried in the body have done a certain degree of electromagnetic protection, but in a strong thunderstorm environment, no one knows how effective this protection can be in a strong thunderstorm environment, the most important thing is that these people walk in a strong thunderstorm environment, It is equivalent to a human-shaped lightning rod, and in this dense thunderstorm environment, I am afraid that many more people will be killed by lightning than by machine guns
As he spoke, he glanced back at the team members in the room who were hurrying to rest, and then said: I am the commander of the team, and I am responsible for your lives.
But! Ryder raised his voice, and he turned to look at the one-eyed man, as if he wanted to argue with him, but before he could say anything, he was interrupted by a wave of his hand.
No, but. Another bolt of lightning pierced the sky, and a sudden burst of dazzling light illuminated the three-dimensional face of the one-eyed strong man, do you know why I asked you to stop before?
He was referring to Ryder's previous assault on the Two-Face.
Ryder was stunned, as if he didn't expect him to ask this question, thinking before
He bowed his head with some guilt for his reckless actions: because my actions put the lives of the rest of the team at risk, I am sorry about this matter, I was too impulsive at the time.
Well. The one-eyed strong man nodded, because your actions at that time put the entire team in danger, and in that state, many of our compatriots may be injured and killed, so I forcibly asked you to stop Implementing justice is of course very important, but if the implementation of justice is to let the people under my hands die in vain, I will definitely not do this kind of loss-making business. The same is true now, there are many people who are willing to give their lives to save the captain, and we may lose some brothers and sisters forever after this battle, but at least I will not allow you to die in vain
In this world, dying is the easiest thing to do, and it often takes not only courage to live, but also to carry the hope of the deceased and live with everyone
Ryder was silent for a long time, the one-eyed man's words seemed to make him understand something, but when he thought about it carefully, he felt that his mind was full of paste and didn't understand anything, he looked at the other party for a long time, and then nodded: I understand
What nonsense, I just said nonsense, you understand? The one-eyed man smiled at him, ignoring the latter's stunned expression turned into anger, and then turned his head to look out the window at the torrential rain, his thoughts gradually drifted away, and he couldn't help but recall what Jekyll had said that had a deep impact on him.
I don't want to win this war by killing or sacrificing anyone, I want to save everyone
No matter how vicious a criminal is, we cannot deprive him of the opportunity to defend himself, let alone use his personal deeds in the name of justice. Including that tyrant Hyde, no matter how unforgivable the crimes he committed, how much he deserved to be cut with a thousand knives, and how much blood he had on his hands, but even so, because of this, we can't kill him to vent our anger! We need the law to give him a fair trial, and every law he has violated, every crime he has committed must be evidence-based and verified, and he must be convinced to confess his guilt, and let him sincerely repent of those who sacrificed for his crimes
It is not the law that protects people, but the people who protect the law spontaneously, and one day in the future, when everyone spontaneously protects the law, a highly civilized society will definitely come.
Do what we can, we may not be able to help many people, let alone protect many people, but the people we protect and help are like us to protect more people, help more people, and those people will do their best to help more people If the world forms a virtuous circle like this, I firmly believe that the world will be changed
Outside it was stormy and bone-chilling, but inside the Tower of Babel was warm as spring.
Inside the tower, seemingly endlessly, towards the staircase that stretched upwards, there were a series of alloy gates, which were used by the control room to block intruders, but judging from the holes in the alloy gates that seemed to have been melted through by some kind of high temperature, these obstruction measures did not seem to have much effect.
A group of vaguely distorted transparent shadows were silently walking through the stairs, this was a small team, the original invasion team of more than thirty people scattered into six squads shortly after entering the building, each marching from different upward routes, and they were the most upright group of people who walked up the stairs.
This time, the invasion mission was all carried out by the personal guards under Sanming's men, who received the secret order of the deputy regiment commander to bring the best and most advanced weapons and equipment, and sneaked all the way to the Tower of Babel, in order to rob Jekyr as much as possible before the frontal troops of the Tiehua Regiment advanced to the Tower of Babel.
The leader of the Ghost Team watched as the Door Bomb blasted a large hole in the metal gate, and he gestured for the team to follow, but as he passed through the window between the corridors, he overheard a glimpse of a thunderstorm of lightning and thunder outside the window.
The lightning continued to cut through the sky, the pouring rain made the whole city seem blurry and distorted, and another thunderbolt fell, and the whole sky seemed to be illuminated by this unusually dazzling lightning, faintly, Captain Ghost seemed to see that the lights of the city were gradually becoming dim in the rain curtain, and those high-rise buildings in the distance that fell into darkness, the lightning that lit up from time to time set off these buildings to look like a cold, hard, hideous face, in the rainstorm, he seemed to see a huge one
Drones soar through the sky in the wind and rain, fighting and fighting the storm.
It all seemed to be an illusion, and it seemed to be more than just an illusion.
A vague uneasiness was spreading in Captain Ghost's mind, and he always felt that something was wrong, as if danger was approaching, but he quickly suppressed it.
Let's hope the other teams will arrive sooner than we do
I'm sorry, these things will happen and it will be the pain of the times, if you don't end such a deformed world, such deformed labor pains will become more and more Jekyl has stood up from his position, he already feels that there is no need to talk about it anymore, Hyde, I will take you back, in order that such labor pains will not appear again, in order not more people will die because of this, I will end the empire you have built, I will create a highly civilized society, but before that, you need to take responsibility for what you have done, I will put you to a fair trial
You are still insisting on the concept of not killing anyone, this time there was a trace of admiration in Hyde's eyes, and he clapped his hands mockingly: Okay, you are a saint, you are high, you say it well, the crimes committed by those people are the pains of the times, and you have lofty ideals and aspirations, so it seems that the role of villain and despicable villain can only be played by me
If you have anything to say, let's go back and talk about it, Hyde. Jekyll had already made up his mind not to listen to the other party's demagogic words, he stepped on the table, and rushed to Hyde in the blink of an eye, sorry, my next action may be a little rough
As he spoke, he kicked Hyde in the face with a whip kick!
