Chapter Ninety-Three: Night Falls
It's dark!
Sudden!
The orange stars were invisible, and the vast sky of the entire wasteland world seemed to be instantly shrouded in a thin black veil, dotted with scattered stars.
The world is unforgiving, the laws of the universe are cold, and they will not change because of the expectations of individuals now.
Shen Sen in the school field raised his head and stared at the sky, lost his mind for a long time.
The plan was interrupted by the sudden arrival of darkness, and although he wanted to complete the selection of soldiers before the cold winter, it now seemed that what he didn't want to happen had happened.
Like a merciless mockery, after he announced the whole thing, the time of cold winter had arrived.
Looking at the gradually darkening sky, according to the normal development, in a few hours, there will be a goose-feather snow as promised, dyeing the whole yellowish earth white.
This is a bad thing, but I don't know why, at this time, Shen Sen felt a trace of familiarity that he had not seen for a long time, and even relieved.
In the past month or so, he has repeatedly traveled between the two worlds, and the changes that have taken place around him are so numerable that he feels disconnected from the whole world.
The cold winter shrouded in darkness, although unexpected, evoked his earliest memories of this land.
Chaos, disorder, cruelty, strife!
Taking advantage of the darkness, Shen Sen looked at the soldiers in the training ground and the scavengers in the camp, and he was a little worried that the arrival of winter would cause chaos in the camp like the last time.
You must know that the cold winter period has brought heavy memories to the remnants of this land.
For decades, as if a conditioned reflex, all the people of the wasteland were in a state of desperate madness for a few days after the onset of winter.
Chaos and riots are the prologue of the night, and death and bloodshed are the ultimate elegy.
The previous year, the fear of survival brought about by the freezing period had gradually turned the riots in Camp 1123 into turmoil, forcing him to intervene and severely punish a few leaders before the camp returned to some order.
Fortunately, there were thousands of people in the camp today, although there was a commotion for a while because of the fall of night, but after a while, order and calm gradually returned.
"Winter is coming!"
"Look at what you said, it doesn't seem to be able to come."
In the crowd outside the training ground, a young man with a relaxed expression tucked his hands into his sleeves and angrily answered the meaningless exclamation of another scavenger.
"Hey, God forbid, thanks to the leader, there shouldn't be any more deaths this year!" The man who said this was old, his face was vicissitudes, and there was a hint of relief in his tone.
Although his actual age was only thirty years old, he had lived a long time in the wasteland.
He had gone through thirty cold winters, the first twenty-eight years were muddy, and the only memory of this was darkness and death, if it weren't for the appearance of this leader, he might have been consumed as reserve food as early as the previous year, and he could live to this day, living such a life in heaven on earth.
"Don't worry, there will definitely be no more dead people this year, with this leader here, we will definitely get better and better!"
The young man just now put away his slightly flirtatious expression, spoke very slowly, and his expression was full of affirmation.
It's not that he's blindly optimistic and can turn a blind eye to the boundless darkness of winter, but that he trusts in the leader as much as he believes in miracles.
What the two didn't know was that thoughts like this existed in the hearts of almost every camp scavenger, and this was the source of confidence that they could still deal with it calmly after seeing the cruel cold winter of the past.
Although it was impossible to know what was going on in everyone's minds, Shen Sen, as the leader, finally put his mind at ease after confirming that the camp was as usual, and that the cold winter period had not affected him much.
The five hundred people in the training ground were still standing motionless, their expressions determined, as if the change just now had not affected them much.
As an armed force that has experienced the key care of the telecast, although the military literacy of these 500 people may be lacking, their will to obey orders to complete the mission is comparable to that of the most elite soldiers.
Since you can't change the environment, it seems that you can only change your own plans.
Shen Sen thought about it and decided not to change his mind, and now he can't afford to hesitate anymore, and the selection plan formulated will be carried out as usual, maybe this dark winter can force the potential of the participants even more.
"Silence!"
After waiting for the camp to become silent, Shen Sen said loudly.
"All 500 of you will participate in this selection, and the winner will be qualified to control the Pioneer Mecha, and have a powerful power to resist the darkness."
After that, as soon as Shen Sen raised his hand, the red mecha behind him, the green glow in his eyes flashed in the darkness, and then his huge body shook slightly.
I saw 36 blazing and dazzling missiles ejecting from the camp, like stars falling from the sky, piercing the pitch-black sky, exploding dozens of huge flames in the distance, and for a time the heavens and the earth tore apart the night, as if it were day.
The earth-shattering loud noise was mixed with a violent shock wave, followed by a rapid spread in all directions, startling the sky full of flying sand and rocks.
Far away, this huge movement still made everyone in the camp who turned around and witnessed this scene and covered their ears.
The power of the Pioneer mecha is terrifying at this moment!
If the target was replaced by a high-rise building in the city, I don't know how many buildings would break and collapse in the fireworks at this moment, becoming a pile of ruins.
The effect was very good, Shen Sen was very satisfied, and the five hundred soldiers in the training ground were also very satisfied, and even the camp scavengers who were watching outside the training ground were excited.
Looking at the crimson mecha in front of them, their eyes were red.
Strength, indescribable power!
It is in the nature of males to seek power, just as females seek beauty, not to mention that this is in the wasteland, and everyone knows what strength represents.
And now, with its own possession, it can have unrivaled power beyond ordinary people.
"Good boy, this is a big move!"
"You say, do I still have a chance to enter the Defense Force and participate in the selection like Li Xin's kid?"
A waste picker who had once moved bricks with Li Xin asked the worker next to him in an eager tone.
"It's up to you, don't think too much, think about whether you can run one more lap tomorrow morning!"
The worker patted the man on the shoulder and said in a serious voice that if it weren't for his physical fitness, he would have wanted to participate in the selection.
It's a pity, it's a pity!
There was no doubt that at this moment, Shen Sen felt a lot of fiery gaze coming from his surroundings, and even the cold night could not be suppressed, and the atmosphere was just right.
"Are you ready?"
The majestic voice of inquiry sounded again, and it was greeted with a uniform answer:
"For the sake of victory, for the sake of will, I wait for my life!"
