Chapter 267 I Must Take You Away

The entire base was in chaos.

Jian Yue got off the spaceship directly. Many spaceships had taken off outside one after another. The smoke they raised covered the ground and fell on people's faces. Many spaceships in the sky were moving outside.

The sky was filled with flying sand.

There are still many ordinary people left in the base. If they leave the safety shield, they will die. The magnetic storm outside is so fierce that there is no power to resist it at all.

What surprised Jian Yue was...

He saw a person.

Xiaopeng.

Jian Yue's eyes widened: "Xiao Peng! Why didn't you get on the spaceship!"

According to the regulations, all the children had to leave, but Xiaopeng did not leave. All the children were taken away together two days in advance, but Xiaopeng somehow managed to avoid the inspection!

Xiaopeng was originally hiding behind a box. After hearing Jian Yue's voice, he poked his head out. He was a little hesitant.

Jian Yue walked directly to the child, took his hand and said, "Come here quickly. There is another spaceship here with a rest cabin. Come in quickly..."

Next second.

He saw that what Xiaopeng was holding in his arms was a kitten.

It was Xiao Mi, Jian Yue recognized her. Xiao Mi was not even wearing a muzzle and was curled up in Xiao Peng's arms in pain due to the influence of the magnetic storm.

Jian Yue said: "Why are you bringing Xiao Mi with you?"

Xiao Peng's voice was very childish and soft. He was just a kid who loved to play a few days ago. He said softly, "Brother, I don't want to leave. I want to go back to find mom. I want to be with Xiao Mi. They said mom doesn't have superpowers, so we can't leave. I know that those who stay will die. Mom will die if she doesn't have superpowers. Xiao Mi is a zombie and will die too. I'm a child, so I can live, but without them, I... don't want to live on my own."

When he got to the back, his eyes were red and his voice was crying.

Jian Yue was stunned for a moment, raised his arm and slowly touched his head, and sighed: "Silly child."

Xiaopeng could have been strong enough to hide himself away, but after Jian Yue comforted him in a low voice, he suddenly burst into tears.

His crying made everyone nearby look over.

But even in the midst of such crying, Jian Yue's originally panicked heart slowly calmed down. So what if they were zombies? So what if they were ordinary people? Who decides whether to live or die?

Jian Yue touched Xiao Peng's head and said, "We won't die."

The magnetic storm clouds not far away rolled up the color of the sky, turning it bright red. Zombie birds were circling in the sky not far away, and their sharp cries seemed to pierce the clouds. Some zombies were banging against the protective shield, and all creatures were in pain.

Xiaopeng cried and said, "But...but..."

He hasn't finished speaking yet.

Jiang Xianyu said: "He will not die."

Jian Yue looked up at him in surprise. Jiang Xianyu's dark and deep eyes met his. He closed the panel he had been looking at and said to Jian Yue, "I have been doing tests to calculate the frequency and duration of this entire magnetic storm, but there is no specific data to support it. Now the magnetic storm has come and the calculation is complete. This magnetic storm will last for a total of four hours. As long as the protective shield can withstand four hours, everyone can survive."

"How long can the base's protective shield last?" Jian Yue asked.

Jiang Xianyu told him: "Under the attack of the magnetic storm, at most an hour."

Jian Yue's boiling heart was extinguished a little, but soon, he heard Jiang Xianyu say: "My fire can be made into a fire shield, which can protect this place."

When his voice fell.

Jian Yue had a bad feeling.

Jiang Xianyu said to Jian Yue: "Take good care of these people in the base and keep them alive."

A sense of panic emerged in Jian Yue's heart, and he immediately asked: "Where are you going?"

Jiang Xianyu had already turned around, but after hearing Jian Yue's words, he turned around and looked at the person. He saw Jian Yue's hair scattered in the wind, walked over, stretched out his hand and touched Jian Yue's face, he suddenly put something in Jian Yue's hand, Jian Yue looked down, it was actually a ring, this is a ring made of jade.

"This is the only relic my mother left behind." Jiang Xianyu whispered, "I didn't give it to you before because I hoped you could have a brand new life."

Jian Yue asked: "Then why are you giving it to me now?"

"If it can survive, we will get married." Jiang Xianyu said: "If not, let it accompany you for me."

Jian Yue smiled gently. He looked at the person in front of him and said, "Isn't it a bit too overbearing, Xiaoyu? You always make decisions for me."

Jiang Xianyu whispered, "I'm sorry, if I survive in the future, I will make amends to you."

Jian Yue knew he would say that because he knew he had little chance of surviving. He also knew who Jiang Xianyu was doing all this for, because in the main storyline of the original novel, the system had clearly marked that Jiang Xianyu played the role of the villain in the final magnetic storm incident, and he would not save the people in the city at all.

But he's gone now.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Jian Yue grabbed his wrist. Jiang Xianyu looked back at him. Jian Yue smiled at him and said, "When you come back, I have something to say to you."

Jiang Xianyu looked at him deeply.

Jian Yue said: "You must come back."

Jiang Xianyu pulled the man into his arms and hugged him. Both of their embraces were very cold, but in such coldness, Jian Yue felt as if he could hear each other's heartbeats, until the man's low voice fell into his ears, and he said, "Protect yourself."

It was almost instantaneous.

Amid the noisy and somewhat chaotic environment, the man disappeared.

The energy shield of the entire base was impacted. Outside the energy shield not far away, there were sounds of cracks. The zombies outside were also suffering greatly. But at this moment, when there was lightning in the sky and a magnetic storm was coming, a huge fire shield suddenly rose up, surrounding the zombies outside and the base inside. The fire shield could completely isolate the torture brought by the magnetic storm outside.

Magnetic storms also bring ice, snow and sandstorms.

Jian Yue stood inside, watching everything outside. He looked in the direction Jiang Xianyu left. The information terminal on his wrist rang. He clicked it and heard the voices of Aya and others.

Aya said: "Butler Wang, why didn't you get on the spaceship?"

Jian Yue said: "I stayed."

Aya asked in confusion: "Why? Don't you want to go back? You will die if you stay here. You know that if you die in the dungeon, you may lose your life!"

Jian Yue said: "I know, but Sister Ya, there is something I want to gamble on."

Aya asked, "What?"

Jian Yue looked at the spaceships rising up in the sky not far away. He said, "I need to confirm this matter further. There is something I need your help with. As the captain of the guild competition, do you have any special authority?"

Aya replied: "There is no special permission, but there is a prop that can synchronize a message to all survivor guilds."

Jian Yue immediately said: "That's enough. Give me ten minutes on the spaceship, and I'll be back soon."

He had just finished speaking.

A voice came from behind, and Aya said, "It will take more than ten minutes. If you have anything to say, just tell us."

Tiantian also smiled and said, "Butler Wang, are you surprised?"

Li Lele and Li Meng are both here. Li Meng's eyes have gotten much better now. Li Lele has been treating her eyes during this period.

Jian Yue was a little surprised and asked: "You didn't leave?"

Aya said, "In fact, from the time you synchronized the message with us, we could guess that you would definitely not leave. You are not the type of person who would abandon others and leave when in danger. There are millions of people living in this base. Even if the spacecraft took some away, there are still millions left. Even if there is only one last glimmer of hope, you will not leave."

Jian Yue was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and said, "Actually, I'm also afraid of death."

Aya asked: "Why don't you leave?"

"Because the so-called new habitable place does not mean life." Jian Yue said: "Sister Ya, haven't you noticed that from the beginning, they have been talking about moving to a new planet, which is a more habitable home. In fact, does this home really exist? Each of us has been tasked with finding the serum. Everyone is trapped in this apocalypse, so naturally we have ignored this so-called new home."

Aya's face changed.

Tiantian said: "Could it be that the so-called new planet doesn't exist at all?!"

So where is the spacecraft actually going? Isn't this a devastating blow? If the so-called destination of the spacecraft is simply another hell, then isn't humanity really going to be extinct?

Jian Yue said: "Do you remember, each of us came to a copy, and the copy is a nightmare world. If the ending of this apocalyptic copy is really that the hero and heroine defeated the zombies and went to a new planet to live a good life, then why is this copy called a nightmare world? What is the meaning of the system putting so many survivors into this copy? Is it really to fight zombies?"

Everyone was speechless for a moment.

When everyone's brains are bombarded with the terror of natural disasters and zombie attacks, they often ignore some real facts.

Aya's expression became more serious and she said, "If that's the case, then those spaceships that fly up there are actually doomed!"

Jian Yue said: "I need all the substantial evidence to prove my guess, but we don't have much time now, I need your help."

Tiantian immediately said, "We are a team, there is no need to be polite. When we got off the spaceship, we were already prepared to live and die together. Sister Aya also said that if we want to go out, we will go out together, and if we want to die, we will die together."

There was fear in everyone's eyes, but no one left.

Jian Yue paused, then suddenly laughed. His heart became more determined. He said to Tian Tian, ​​"I would like to ask you to use your teleportation ability to go to the outer city. In the main control room outside, there are some chains and muzzle links for imprisoning and controlling zombies. They all belong to the zombies from the outer city who came to help with the work. Release them all. No matter what grudges there are, there is no need to continue at this time."

then.

Jian Yue said to Aya, "Sister, Lele, please go to the main control desk and calm the people in the city. You helped a lot of people when you were in the outer city, so your words are very convincing. If you don't leave, the people will feel at ease. The energy shield cannot be broken now. Do you see the fire shield above? That is Xiaoyu's shield. The shield will attract zombies from all over the place to City A. The shield will protect the living beings from being harmed by the magnetic storm. By then, there may be more and more zombies. Tell the people in the city not to be afraid."

Aya and Li Lele nodded and said, "No problem."

Jian Yue immediately said to Li Meng: "Meng Meng, I need your card to help me find someone."

Li Meng was curious: "Who?"

Jian Yue replied: "My father's secretary."

Li Meng asked with some confusion: "Who?"

"The secretary of the father of the original owner of this body." Jian Yue said, "In fact, I have been investigating his sudden bankruptcy and escape. I carefully recalled the time and words of his last phone call to me at noon that day. I felt that everything was fishy. During this period, I have been secretly investigating and found that the business and voice of the Wang family before was to produce spaceships. These spaceships are interstellar spaceships, which are what everyone is riding now."

Li Meng said: "This was done by the Wang family, so why did they go bankrupt?"

Jian Yue said, "My secretary told me that there was something wrong with the things he produced, so he ran away with the money. But I asked Xiaoyu these two days, and she said that the problem with the spacecraft was a minor signal problem, which was not enough to make him run away with the donations. So I guess my father might have noticed something he shouldn't know, so he was silenced."

Li Meng immediately said: "Since they are the manufacturer of the spacecraft, they must know whether the so-called new planet and the so-called destination are real."

Jian Yue nodded: "I remember that your cards can be found once you have seen them. I don't know where the secretary is. Can you help me find her?"

At this time, the excess of this card appeared.

Li Meng said directly: "Give it to me."

Jian Yue handed the secretary's photo to Li Meng. After Li Meng took a look at it, he picked up the card, closed his eyes, and whispered: "Looking for a friend, I found a good friend..."

A purple light surrounded her.

Li Meng slowly opened her eyes and said to Jian Yue, "He did not leave the base. He is eating in Room 21, Area C."

Jian Yue smiled and said, "Go find him."

When everyone passed by, they happened to see the embarrassed secretary.

The secretary looked at Jian Yue in surprise and asked, "Young Master?"

Jian Yue nodded and said, "You seem surprised to see me."

The secretary smiled and said, "I just didn't expect it."

Jian Yue said, "I remember you are a superpower, Secretary. Why are you here? Why didn't you leave on a spaceship?"

The secretary looked at Jian Yue and said, "Isn't the young master also a superpower? Why didn't the young master leave?"

Jian Yue said, "Because the people and things I care about are all here, I won't leave. What about you? I remember the secretary told me that everyone in your family has passed away."

"Since you came to see me, you must have known something. Now that things have come to this, I have nothing to hide." The secretary said, "I'm not leaving because there's no point in leaving. Do you know, young master, that the new planet is not suitable for human survival? To be honest, we haven't found a suitable planet at all, and the spacecraft has no destination. Those spacecraft that are launched will only fly aimlessly in the universe."

Jian Yue said: "You knew it a long time ago, and so did my father. He was silenced, so why didn't you?"

The secretary said, "Because I overheard that those who must go to the new planet and want to land will die in the end. Since they will die anyway, why not stay here?"

Jian Yue said: "Why didn't you say it earlier?"

The secretary sneered and said, "Whether you say it or not, those who stay or not will all die. What's the point of saying it or not?"

Jian Yue looked at his decadent appearance and said, "I understand."

Seeing him so calm, the secretary was a little concerned. He had originally made up his mind that no matter how much Jian Yue scolded him, he would not be moved at all. But Jian Yue's calmness and the appearance of not saying anything actually attracted his attention.

The secretary couldn't help but looked at Jian Yue's back as he was leaving and said, "What do you know? Don't you have anything to say to me?"

Jian Yue turned around and looked at him, and said, "I only know that everything depends on human efforts. If you think you are hopeless, then you are truly hopeless."

When coming out of the room.

Jian Yue said to Li Meng, "Did you record it?"

Li Meng nodded.

Jian Yue said: "Send it to Sister Ya, and have them send it to all the survivor teams simultaneously."

Li Meng is a very calm, rational and objective girl. She said, "If they all get on the spacecraft and we survive the magnetic storm, then our team will be the only ones to survive. Are you sure you want to synchronize?"

Jian Yue looked at her and said, "Do you want me to say yes or no?"

Li Meng said: "I don't know."

Jian Yue smiled and said, "My choice is yes."

Li Meng said: "I can guess a little bit."

Jian Yue said, "Will this disappoint you? Maybe this way our team won't be the only winner."

Li Meng said: "Maybe there will be a little disappointment, but if you choose uncertainty, then you are not you. And it is because you are you that we are willing to be your teammates and friends who can give their lives to you."

Those who can choose between interests are only suitable for doing business, not for being friends.

Jian Yue smiled and said, "Then, it's time for us to take action."

Almost at the same time, all the small teams of survivors on the spacecraft received the information and video synchronization. The spacecraft would not lead everyone to the so-called new earth, but would only bring them endless wandering or death.

At the same time, the magnetic storm is sweeping more severely.

Jian Yue went directly to the signal tower of the base and said, "The energy bar of this signal tower is not enough. Will the energy shield disappear after the energy bar ends?"

The boy in charge of guarding the energy tower said, "Yes, based on the current energy consumption, it is estimated that it will not last more than half an hour."

Jian Yue said: "I remember there must be a backup plan under each device, right?"

The boy on guard said: "There is a manual turntable machine that can inject energy into the energy tower, but this turntable machine can only be turned by a superpower with strong superpowers. Ordinary people can't push it at all. It weighs tens of thousands of pounds!"

His words fell.

The hope that had finally risen was shattered.

A child's voice came from beside Jian Yue, saying, "I can ask my mother for help!"

Turning around in surprise, Jian Yue didn't know when Xiaopeng and the others came. Other people from the base came with them. They all heard the broadcast and went to the energy tower in the central square for refuge. The protective shield was covered by the flame shield at the bottom, but the light imprint of the magnetic storm would still shine up and cause harm to the human body.

But at this moment, many zombies in the base were sticking to the energy shield, even Squidward was sticking to the energy shield. After spending some time together, many zombies had gotten used to staying here. At this moment, they did not seem to be enemies, but just comrades who leaned on each other in the face of disaster, and everyone hugged each other.

Everyone said:

"Then we will help too."

"If I don't push it, I'll die anyway."

“Let’s go for it!”

Millions of people seemed to be tied into a rope, gathering into a powerful force to push the energy tower. Everyone gritted their teeth just to inject new energy into the energy tower.

Thanks to everyone's efforts, the energy tower's rotating bar finally started moving!

But it only rose a little.

Even with the efforts of so many people, the energy waves emitted were not enough to fill the entire energy tower. At most, they could only last for less than a few minutes. Everyone was somewhat desperate.

And just when despair was about to fall on everyone.

A pop-up window popped up on Jian Yue's information terminal. It was the sound of a communication. Xiao Li's voice came from it and said, "When I received your message, the flight had already been canceled. Our landing point is in City A. Since we will die if we leave or not, we might as well take a gamble and send all the energy of the spacecraft to the energy tower."

At the same time.

There are also other information pop-ups.

When Jian Yue raised his head, he saw spaceships flying all over the sky. They passed through the fire shield and landed. The energy lights on the spaceships started the injection mode and all gathered on the light column of the energy tower.

Time passes by little by little

Two hours have passed since the magnetic storm officially left, and the outer shell of the energy shield, which should have shattered long ago, is still solid, with only some cracks appearing in weak places.

Some people with special powers jumped down from the spaceship. Those with wood-type special powers used vines to block the attacks of the magnetic storm, and those with metal-type special powers also joined in. The entire protective shield was covered with colorful special power supplements. It looked like a tattered cover, but with the efforts of everyone, it became strong and indestructible.

As everyone pulled in unison.

The energy tower is continuously replenished.

Everyone is about to be saved.

When everyone wanted to hide under the energy tower, only Jian Yue wanted to go outside. The further he went outside, the hotter it was outside. After leaving the protective shield, it was extremely hot outside. The light of the magnetic storm was pouring down. If it weren't for the fire shield, he might have been chopped into pieces immediately. Jian Yue saw the man sitting in the middle of the pile of zombies outside.

Jiang Xianyu.

He was sitting in a thin fire shield, with fire rising from his body, forming a ball of fire that surrounded the area. The fire shattered the meteorites and sandstorms brought by the magnetic storm. All of them were shattered by the fire. There were other zombies around him protecting him. Jian Yue couldn't get close, but a tentacle gently dragged him up and sent him to Jiang Xianyu.

Ordinary people cannot get close to this flame.

Jian Yue's water is the water from Hope Island, which can protect him. He rushed to Jiang Xianyu's side, and almost fell because of his hasty and fast movements. There is a reason why he was so hasty, because Jiang Xianyu's hair turned white. He used the divine power of the Teng Snake clan, and the price was that his body would pay a huge price. He was aging and his life was slipping away.

When Jian Yue almost fell to the ground, a pair of hands caught him.

"Xiaoyu..."

Jiang Xianyu opened his eyes and saw him, and whispered, "Didn't I tell you to stay in the city?"

Jian Yue shook his head and said, "I'm worried about you, so I came to see you. Many of them have returned, and they will help block the protective shield. Please calm down."

Jiang Xianyu said: "If I put away my flames, all the evil meteorites and magnetic storms will hit the base and you, and the protective shield will not be able to hold up."

Jian Yue said: "Then what are you going to do!"

"What are you going to do?" Jian Yue's hands were shaking. He fell on Jiang Xianyu's shoulders and tightly grasped his clothes as if he could grab something. He said, "Who will protect you? You will die, right?"

Jiang Xianyu suddenly raised his hand and wiped away the tears from Jian Yue's red eyes. The man had handsome eyebrows and sharp face, but he looked at Jian Yue with some tenderness. He didn't smile much, but now, he smiled and said to Jian Yue: "Don't cry."

Jian Yue looked at him and heard him say, "I'm actually very happy, because before I lived in this world with only hatred, but now, because there are people I want to protect, they can all survive, and you should be happy too."

"No..." Jian Yue looked at Jiang Xianyu's graying hair and bloodless lips and felt his heart aching as if countless needles were stabbing him. The pain was driving him crazy. All his rationality seemed to be shattered in an instant. After separating from the man, he thought that they would meet again in the copy, but he didn't expect that the reunion would last less than half a year, and he didn't expect that he would see him leave with his own eyes.

"I'm not happy at all." Jian Yue said without thinking. He was shaking all over and full of fear. He was more afraid that the person in front of him would die than he was afraid of dying himself. He was afraid that he would never see him again: "I will save you."

He said.

Watching Jiang Xianyu's blood and life being slowly absorbed by the supernatural power, the fire dragon's chains and spell patterns fixed on Jiang Xianyu's body seemed like an invisible cage. This destiny, this power fell on him, and he had no control over himself. This cage was so tight that he had nowhere to hide.

Jian Yue's eyes were red, and the magnetic storm not far away was still crashing down on the ground. Jian Yue's voice fell into Jiang Xianyu's ears. He looked at him sideways and met his tearful eyes. Then Jiang Xianyu heard Jian Yue say, "I must take you away."

In a trance.

It’s like going back many, many years.

Maybe it was in the laboratory, or maybe it was at some other time, when he saw those clear, childish eyes, and the person held his hand tightly and said, "I'll take you away."

At that time, Jiang Xianyu remembered him saying: "You can't take me away."

A few years later, when he met the youngest son of the Wang family again, he found him to be an uneducated and uncultured dandy who never looked people in the eye. It was as if the man in the laboratory had disappeared long ago.

And now.

Under the magnetic storm, he seemed to see that person again. He held his hand and said, "I must take you away."
