242 God's Descent (End)

◎Congratulations on completing the side quest, God descends◎

The Kingdom of God's airship hovered above Area 103.

The person in charge was a man, over fifty years old, wearing a military uniform covered with medals. His name was Zhang Shouxin.

The screen showed the battle situation in Area 103. The huge pollutant almost destroyed Area 103. The tentacles could crush people and buildings at will. Everyone thought that Area 103 was doomed to be destroyed, but the pollutant was pulled back underground by another huge force.

Because they were looking down from a high enough angle, when they watched the battlefield in Area 103, it didn't feel like they were watching a war. To use an analogy, it was more like keeping a carnivore in a transparent glass bottle. The buildings in Area 103 were the landscape in the bottle, and the resisting combatants were like shrimps fed to pets, who unexpectedly ate the carnivores.

The countdown on the screen froze at 1:07 seconds, and they almost bombed Area 103.

"We actually won?" Another lieutenant general came over with a bottle of beer. His face was red from drinking, and he didn't feel the tension of the battle at all. Now wars can be fully automated, and the team sent by the Kingdom of God is very disorganized.

Thick smoke was still billowing from Area 103, and the flames of war were burning and could not be extinguished. Survivors came out one after another and were taking stock of the battle situation. There were many corpses on the ground, but the people floating in the sky could not hear the mournful cries.

"How come there are no contamination spores?" they asked.

This was indeed abnormal. They had been watching the showdown between pollutants and humans from the sidelines. They calculated that the probability of pollutants winning the war was 92%, but District 103 won. It was very unexpected, like a dark horse.

Regardless of the outcome, they were more concerned with one question: where were the contaminated spores? They had come to harvest them, but there weren't a single contaminated spore in the city. How could there be no spores in the decontaminated area?

The combat troops were unable to make a decision, so he put down his beer, connected to the Kingdom of God, and waited for the latest instructions.

The Kingdom of God was also confused. One-third of the people had left, and the rest were just chatting.

Now they stopped and turned to look at the screen. Movies usually have a beginning, a middle and an end. Huo Wenxi commanding the attack on pollutants should be the climax, and a few children pressing the explosion button should be the ending.

There's a certain tragic quality to it. What's that popular word these days? Atmosphere. Area 103 has quite the apocalyptic, wasteland vibe.

It should have ended there, but I didn't expect there would be more to come.

The fiery red light shone on everyone's face. The expressions of several people from the Divine Kingdom were very interesting. It was difficult to summarize everyone's reactions in one word.

Someone impatiently crumpled up a report and immediately started answering the phone. "What did District 103 do?"

"How could a child have done this? There simply aren't enough munitions to go off inside the walls of Area 103! What weapons did they hide?"

"Wait a moment, we're recalculating here..." The mechanical secretary is collecting information.

The conference room suddenly became busy. Section 103 hadn't followed the plan, adding a lot of work to their workload. More detailed information was coming in like a flurry of snowflakes, and even they couldn't immediately make sense of it.

No matter how complicated it is, the only certain information is that District 103 won.

They won.

"Hahahahahahaha——" Lu Yao laughed muffledly. In such a chaotic situation, he actually laughed out loud.

He doesn't care what others think, and if the situation is not wrong, he would even want to applaud.

Lu Yao really won the bet. The other people from the Divine Country lacked foresight. Businessmen must seize opportunities when the ship of the times begins to turn. Lu Yao firmly believed that he had seized the opportunity and had smelled new business opportunities in the future. All this was thanks to his sister, who allowed him to establish contact with District 103 in advance.

Liu Niannian tightened and loosened her hands on her knees, took a deep breath, and relaxed herself through subtle movements.

Zhu Ning won.

Although no one knew the specific situation and everyone else was confused, Liu Niannian knew that it must be Zhu Ning, and Zhu Ning had won.

Liu Niannian is a house cat, and house cats envy wild leopards. Zhu Ning is a ferocious wild animal, and she did not disappoint. The glow in Zhu Ning never extinguished, and Liu Niannian would always watch her.

Huo Jinsheng frowned tightly, her face looked frighteningly ugly. Compared to Area 103, she cared more about Huo Wenxi's fate. She thought Huo Wenxi was definitely dead. After a while, new news came from her secondary brain.

Huo Wenxi's life monitor did not indicate her death; she was still alive.

The Huo family attempted to portray Huo Wenxi as a villain. As a member of the Huo family, they must always uphold the family's interests. This is the consequence of betraying the family. Now her plan has failed.

After the chaotic meeting, he managed to organize some thoughts and hung over Area 103, still waiting for the order whether to bomb or not.

After careful calculation, the Kingdom of God chose to suspend the bombing. There were no contaminated spores, and fuel and weapons were huge expenses. This was essentially a business, and the balance of income and expenditure had to be calculated. The Kingdom of God only wanted to make a small profit with a big investment, and would not do business at a loss.

If Area 103 really has some secret weapon, then the nature of this matter will change completely. It will no longer be a business, but may be a brand new war.

An area that possesses the power to devour pollutants is an invisible deterrent to the Kingdom of God. No one knows whether the muzzle of the weapon will be aimed at the first area suspended in the sky.

The airship received the command but did not return immediately. Instead, it continued to hover in the air and continued to observe Area 103.

…

Cleaning center.

Twenty floors of the main building were destroyed, and black smoke billowed out. The fire was not put out until today.

Huo Wenxi wore a black eye patch, and there were red lines near her eye sockets, cracked like a spider web, and lighter than before. The only "gift" left to her by this war was this alienated eye.

Alienation is irreversible, and her demonic eyes are now quiet, curled up in their eye sockets.

Huo Wenxi was injected with anti-pollution agents and followed the doctor's advice at this time. If Zhu Ning had not swallowed the source of pollution in time, Huo Wenxi would have died.

There were documents in front of her, her assistant was buzzing non-stop, she had a cigarette between her fingers, and the ashtray was full of cigarette butts. Zhuang Lin reminded her several times but Huo Wenxi didn't listen.

The first thing Huo Wenxi did when he woke up was to review the battle situation. The death toll was 40,000, and the number of survivors was still being counted. The anti-pollution force would clean up the pollution in the entire city.

Today, the civilians in the shelter have walked to the ground. They are at a loss, looking at the fire burning on the street, feeling as if they were in another world. At this time, their first reaction is not joy, but sadness.

They must first find their relatives, family members and friends. Humans are human beings because of these relationships.

No one is an absolute winner in war. Everyone is a loser and will always receive the message of death.

Only a few chose to leave the shelters; most people were afraid to leave, fearing the next wave of pollution would arrive and that they would be unable to sleep on the surface. The aftereffects of war take a long time to heal, and may never be fully healed.

There are huge cracks on the ground in Area 103, and the city is torn apart, as if it was split in half.

After the pollutants were swallowed up, a huge and rugged cavity appeared underground. Only by lying at the entrance of the cavity and looking down could people understand how powerful the enemy was and how small they were.

They shouted at the cave entrance, and the echo lingered for a long time, as if they had discovered a new world.

Zhu Ning disappeared after that incident. In the first few days, everyone was busy sorting out the battlefield and rescuing the wounded, and no one was looking for Zhu Ning's whereabouts.

Now they have freed up some manpower to search, but they dare not send living people down, and only sent patrol planes.

The patrol plane's screen brought feedback, and the technician seemed to be looking at the underground world from an insect's perspective. The deepest distance was one thousand meters. If it went down further, the patrol plane would lose signal.

It was very dark down there, swallowing up the light. There were no clear images, but they captured a lot of sounds, such as the whistling wind and the sound of flowing water. There should be a hidden river down there. This is all they know about the underground caves now.

It seemed like bad news that there was an unknown cavity beneath the human city, but it also seemed like good news because they did not detect any pollution concentration below.

Generally speaking, human cities have a small amount of pollution. Even a piece of stone will detect a 5% pollution concentration. But the underground detection data is surprisingly 0. The underground world is even cleaner than the human world.

They recorded the data, but could not find manpower for the time being. The medical troops were all on the front line treating the wounded, and scientific researchers had also taken to the scene. They could only put the matter on hold for the time being and continue the exploration later.

Huo Wenxi is extremely busy. All the information needs to be summarized to her. She has almost no personal time. She only stops for a while in the busy intervals, and no one knows what she is thinking.

Zhuang Lin asked, "Are you not looking for Zhu Ning anymore?"

Zhuang Lin didn't say it out loud. What if she was dead? What if she was injured? There was no news of Zhu Ning at all. If she were still alive, she would definitely contact Huo Wenxi. But Zhuang Lin didn't dare to say it, feeling that saying it would be like a curse.

Huo Wenxi also behaved out of character. Her previous attitude was to dig deep into the ground to find Zhu Ning, but now she seemed to not care much about it.

Huo Wenxi paused and said, "No need."

Huo Wenxi felt that she was not dead, and that Zhu Ning would appear when she wanted to. The Kingdom of God had sent an order, hoping that District 103 would hand over Zhu Ning. They would treat Zhu Ning as a strategic weapon, responsible for daily maintenance and post-war repairs.

Maintenance and restoration? This wording is really arrogant, as if Zhu Ning is just a high-end item.

In this situation, Huo Wenxi wished Zhu Ning would not show up.

Huo Wenxi thought for a moment, then made a list and handed it to Zhuang Lin, "I want to know about these people."

The list she gave was not long, and it contained several names, including Shen Xingqiao, Ye Fei, and the remaining members of the Cheetah Team. Huo Wenxi remembered that these people were Zhu Ning's companions.

When there is no news about Zhu Ning, Huo Wenxi is responsible for taking care of the safety of Zhu Ning's relatives. This is the promise she made to her ally.

…

Outside the wall of Area 103, about ten kilometers away, there is a river.

There is a small robot picking up trash by the water. It has two patches on its face and no voice function. It has been completely abandoned because it is too old. Its only fate is to end up in the garbage incinerator.

A few days ago, there was a earth-shaking noise coming from inside Area 103. Two huge monsters were floating in the sky. It hid in the corner and trembled, listening to the continuous artillery fire, as if it was the end of the world.

Later, the war stopped, and suddenly there was a lot of garbage on the river beach. A bunch of messy things were washed out from the underground river, floating in the river, and finally washed here.

It is the same type of robot as Labao, but not exactly the same. There is a leech parasitic in its brain. At this moment, it is holding up its two paws and looking for usable batteries by the river. Its energy comes from these garbage.

It took out a battery from a used robot and plugged it into its own battery slot, but it was out of power.

It put it down in disappointment and walked towards the next one, which was the 39th robot found today. It saw a person lying by the river.

The simulated man is so realistic, wearing a black protective suit, and the exposed skin has a human texture, like a real person.

Half of the man's body was soaked in water. After some testing, it guessed that the energy source of this type of simulated human should be in the heart. Humans were very unimaginative when designing robots. They still started from their own perspective and usually placed the energy in the head and heart.

It turned the corpse over and found that its entire body was ice-cold from being soaked in the water and there was no breathing. It was indeed a dead body.

But it turned out to be a woman, her hair was messy and stuck to her face, her eyes were closed, and her forehead was bruised.

There seemed to be something like seaweed wrapped around the chest, a black mass. The small robot pulled it twice and pulled the seaweed apart. When it touched it, it felt that it was probably not seaweed, but more like asphalt, black and sticky.

It stared blankly at the palm of its hand, feeling as if something like asphalt was wriggling in its hand. It then moved on to the chest of the corpse, where the energy tank should be, with a cold mechanical texture. However, it did not feel a battery, but instead felt a piece of sticky flesh, which suddenly squirmed and startled it.

It took a sudden step back, its body motionless. What was that heart part? A parasite living in the chest cavity?

It looked carefully and found that what was wrapped around her chest was not water plants at all, but black mucus, which was even wriggling. Something in her chest was beating, and blood-red tentacles replaced the heart, making a sticky sound when wriggling.

Weird weird weird monster!

It was so scared that it kept backing away, rolling and crawling, trying to run away.

Perhaps because the noise was particularly loud, suddenly, the corpse that should have been dead opened its eyes unexpectedly. There was no emotion in those eyes, and black threads were attached to the whites of the eyes.

Zhu Ning opened his eyes and saw only a clear blue sky. It was cloudless, having been obscured by the steel dome for so long. The real sky gave him a sense of expansiveness. The wind felt comfortable on his face, and the fresh air of nature rushed in, filling his chest.

Her eyes gradually focused, but before she could analyze her situation, she heard a ding in her head:

[Congratulations on completing the side quest, God descends, purification level 100%]
