Chapter 449: Reminiscing about the Old
The huge dark void is so quiet, not like a vortex constantly sucking everything around it, and there is no film and television picture, the chaotic stars that symbolize the flow of time, are pitch black, huge, and obscuring the sky, as if a big hole has been cut out of the surface of this world.
And if you don't walk into it, you don't even know whether it's standing on the ground or hanging in mid-air, whether it's a surface or a sphere, and you can't determine the boundary with the naked eye, you can only use the surrounding buildings used for scientific research to roughly determine that this big hole is estimated to be several kilometers wide.
It is impossible to verify who the researcher of the rift is, since centuries ago, when the humans on the other side of the rift entered the world, all the research reports on the rift have been looted, but from the perspective of a scientific researcher, that researcher is definitely the most outstanding genius in human history.
Lilith walked into a building, which was a center of scientific research, so Lilith was revered here to a much higher degree than in the survivor government building.
But the bad thing is that there are not too many military forces stationed here, after all, looking at the past few centuries, there have only been a few things that have come out of the rift in time and space, and there is really no need to waste valuable combat power to guard such a place.
And when Lilith rushed here, she had already asked the government to send troops, but because she did not have the right to deploy troops now, and this kind of major event was definitely not something that could be implemented in five tens, so when the helicopter she was in landed alone, there were only three or four companies of combat power here.
A person in charge of the Temporal Rift Detection Bureau immediately stepped up and shook hands with Lilith, who looked to be in her sixties, and Lilith rarely showed heartfelt respect for him, in her eyes, these people who have dedicated their lives to the cause of scientific research are much better than those cowards in government buildings who play with power, or hold on to the command of the army.
"I'm glad you came in person, but the government didn't give us a notice and didn't let us build fortifications." The elderly person in charge went straight to the point.
"Those people are all stupid, and at this time, they still think they can stop that guy on the outskirts of the city." Lilith shook her head helplessly: "I don't want to think about it, if that rebel succeeds in breaking through and runs into the wasteland outside the city, even if he sends more troops to chase after him, how long can he chase him?"
It was so difficult for the military to resupply outside the city that the planes could last 5 hours, the power of heavy armored vehicles could only last 48 hours, and if they were at full speed, they would be completely exhausted in less than 15 hours.
The traitor drilled into the canyon, who could find him! β
Lilith's tone was a little quick, and it seemed that she was really angry.
And the elderly person in charge on the side also nodded slightly, he seemed to be more willing to trust the woman in front of him than those arrogant military experts.
However, he had to be surprised by Lilith's assessment of the traitor.
It seems that in her concept, that person can really break out of the encirclement and suppression of the army by himself.
"So what now, if the army can't stop him, then our combat effectiveness here doesn't seem to be of any use."
"Originally, there was actually another way, I calculated the speed and breakthrough direction of the guy, if it was 630 kilometers away from the city as the base point, directly triggering a nuclear explosion, and the explosion range was set within 50 kilometers in diameter, there was a 70% probability that it would be enveloped in it, and if it did not affect the target, the explosion range would be extended to the southwest for 120 kilometers, then it would be able to hit directly with a probability of more than 90%.
But this method was directly dismissed.
The idiots seemed to think it was ridiculous to take such a big risk to set off a nuclear explosion in a nearby city just to kill a person.
In this case, they are still like little girls, and they are entangled in the secondary mutation of the surrounding ecology that the tuberculosis explosion may cause. β
Lilith took a deep breath:
"They had no idea that if that traitor were to return to his world, the variables would be much worse than a few nuclear bombs."
Lady Lilith was angry, anxious, and helpless.
No matter how complicated her emotions were, there was no way to change the status quo after all, and three hours had passed since she reported the proposal for troop deployment, and for such a long time, the news of the traitor's death had still not arrived.
That means, he ran away!
And as long as he is out of the sight of the army, the speed of him and the mutated creature in such a huge wilderness will reach a terrifying level that he can't even imagine, and at this time, it will be useless to send troops to the Space-Time Rift Observation Bureau.
"He's always coming here, and when the time comes, please let all the soldiers be quiet and don't fire."
"What?!" The person in charge of the inspection bureau was stunned for a moment: "But, if that's the case"
"There is no point in firing, not even his speed can be slowed down, there is no one to stop him now, and it is up to me to make this all go in a good direction."
No one knew what she meant, but judging from the conclusion of her words, it seemed that the woman in front of her was much stronger than the army on the other side of the wilderness that was constantly releasing the smoke and flames of war.
An hour passed.
Two hours passed.
In the past two hours, the soldiers stationed at the entire space-time rift monitoring station and those scientific researchers were extremely worried, a terrible demon that killed people was rushing in their direction, and no matter who it was, there seemed to be no way to settle down.
Lilith sat in a chair, I don't know which employee it was, and there was still half a cup of coffee on the table that she hadn't had time to drink, and when she thought back to the time of the year, she was sometimes silent, sometimes she smiled wryly, and always felt that everything seemed like a farce.
At this moment, she frowned slightly, because she saw that the liquid in the cup on the table began to ripple slightly.
Then, there began to be a circle of ripples until it tumbled, and along with the cups, it shook and collided with the tabletop with a clicking sound.
Something, speeding from afar.
Lilith stood up and walked out of the observation room, and at the same time, the entire observation station noticed that the earth was vibrating, and a distant roar was rapidly approaching.
They walked out of the room, looked out into the wilderness in the distance, and saw the vast earth, the blood-colored sky, and the yellow sand rising from the dividing line, and the howling wind pushed everything around them like a breathtaking tornado.
When these experimenters saw the scene in front of them, they were all stupid.
At first, they couldn't understand why Miss Lilith would say that the armies couldn't keep up with the rebel.
No matter how fast he is, can he still be faster than an airplane or a missile?
Until they saw the scene in front of them, and then stared into the distance in amazement, only to feel that their brains were buzzing and their legs were shaking, but they couldn't tell if it was because of fear or if it was from the vibration of the ground.
I just feel that if such a guy wants to pass through the rift in time and space, then these surrounding buildings, if not at his speed, will be thrown into ruins.
In front of such a monstrous flame on a physical level, Ms. Lilith slowly walked out of the complex, standing between the fierce sand in the sky and the dark rift in time and space, as if she was standing on the speeding railroad tracks, trying to block the oncoming train with her thin body.
In the distance, Crimson was running wildly.
In fact, for most of the past, people have only noticed Crimson's overly human-oriented structure and the external skeleton that was specifically designed for combat.
Indeed, these characteristics seem to have been specially designed to allow him to show incredible combat effectiveness on the battlefield.
But in fact, everyone ignores the area that he is best at in his entire body structure.
That's running.
The strong calf muscles are not restrained at all, the entire ball of the foot is wrapped by bones, used to establish a more stable impact with the ground, the thick tendons are like steel bars, and the kinetic energy generated by the stepping continues to be brought into every muscle of the body, his slender body is not born for strength, but for speed, the slight forward back is to make the whole body appear more suitable for running streamlined, slender arms and wide shoulder armor, let it swing, like a huge bird with wings ready to fly.
Lilith had studied Crimson for a year, and she knew exactly how terrifying this mutated creature would be if it fully displayed its speed, so she knew from the beginning that he couldn't be surrounded, and he couldn't be killed.
"Lord Lilith!" Behind him, some exclamations rang out, probably shouting that it was too dangerous to come back quickly.
But it's just a few subconscious voices.
Because most people have understood that if the traitor really wants to kill, then everyone here will die, and no one will survive.
Lilith stood silently, there was no theoretical basis for what the traitor would do when she saw her, but she had spent some time with the other party after all, and in those days, she had no reason and was extremely conceited to think that she had understood the other person.
Although it is only a part, although it is only a very vague concept, she stood in front of the other party at this juncture.
The vibration of the earth has reached a heart-wrenching level, and the equipment in the monitoring station is shaking wildly, crackling and falling to the ground, causing a chaotic alarm on the data equipment.
The huge lateral tornado was already very close, and the yellow sand kept hitting the building like dense raindrops.
The crimson figure was like a demon running out of hell, unstoppable, unstoppable!
However, at a certain moment, the terrifying shadow seemed to slow down, and then, at a moment when people did not notice, the violent wind and sand beside them stopped, and the vibration of the earth disappeared imperceptibly.
In that moment, when people finally came to their senses, the behemoth had already come to their eyes, with their hands hanging down at their sides, and their bodies slightly bent up, standing in front of Lilith, one large and one small forming the most stark contrast.
People's hearts began to beat wildly.
I don't know why, at this time, the scene in front of me is extremely quiet and peaceful compared to the flying sand and rocks just now, but people are becoming more and more frightened and nervous.
They watched as the giant slowly leaned down, and a man jumped off its shoulder, landed lightly on the ground, and walked towards Lilith.
"Long time no see." Sherlock said lightly.
"yes, long time no see."
It's like a chance reunion between two old friends, although it's a little awkward, although there is a more urgent escape, about the escape between life and death, but they have to stop and reminisce.
"Don't worry, I'm not trying to stop you, and I can't stop you." Lilith seemed to know what the other party was thinking, and emphasized with a wry smile.
"Phewββββ," Sherlock exhaled visibly, "I'm scared to death, I thought you'd take the two sisters out of Miel, or drag the old man with mutant creatures in front of me, and force me to surrender." β
"Actually, at first, I thought about using this method, but when I thought that I was going to use a citizen of the Survivor Alliance to blackmail a rebel, I thought it was ridiculous, and I couldn't do such a thing."
Lilith's tone was soft, she knew that she couldn't stop the other party, but she still had a peculiar pride.
Sherlock seemed familiar with this feeling of pride and confidence, as if he had put on this stinky fart every day.
"So, what are you doing here, it's not really going to be with me."
"Of course not." Lilith said, "I thought, since you don't agree to stay as my guinea pig, then I have to let you play another level of your value."
When you return to your world, I want you to make the people in your world accept us.
26 million people.
With technology that is far more than 800 years old in your world,
In exchange for a place to live.
At the same time, to put an end to the war that had lasted centuries between the two worlds.
If you calculate it this way, you won't lose anything, right? β
Sherlock smiled.
"Didn't you tell me this idea at the beginning?
But you must understand that if this is really like an arithmetic problem or selling potatoes, then how can our two worlds fight for centuries?
And then there's the "
Speaking of this, Sherlock also paused deliberately: "Why do you think that after I have been hunted down by you for a whole year, I will still have the heart to listen to your request, instead of turning you and others behind you into meat sauce now?" β
