The construct tugged at my clothes vigorously: "Alright, let's go!"
With red eyes, I yelled at her: "Take this girl away!"
The construct slammed me against the wall and yelled at me, "He doesn't have a seal, what's the point of bringing him over there? What kind of behavior are you using? You gave him hope, and then brought him back to despair. Do you still think you're a gentleman? Why are you pretending to be a good person? Your behavior is hypocrisy, do you understand? You idiot! If I had met someone like you before I became a construct, I would have beaten you to death."
This sentence shattered my self-esteem. He was right. There was nothing I could do. I could only say sorry to the girl and turned away.
The construct suddenly took out a flare gun and said to me: "I'll send out a flare. Maybe those Kowloon soldiers can see it, but it may also attract monsters, but maybe it can allow the girl to live longer." A green flare rose, which was out of tune with the blood-red night sky.
After that, the construct and I quickly ran towards the ladder, feeling very sorry for the girl.
The construction question looked at the wall in front and said, "Smelly boy, we are almost there."
I listened to the noisy sound in front: "Yeah, but why is it so noisy in front?" After passing through a wall, I arrived in the city of Aldea, which was crowded with people.
Those people were madly pushing their way to the entrance of the ladder. "Master Qu, you said you wouldn't abandon us, you said you would protect Jiulong, but why did you hide it from us? And you even ran away on your own? Come out and confront us quickly, you liar."
The people's emotions were becoming increasingly uncontrollable, and the guarding soldiers could hardly hold on any longer and were being forced to slowly retreat.
After a while, a woman in green clothes walked out from the rooftop and looked at the people fiercely. In an instant, the people quieted down.
"Why did you abandon us?" someone cried.
At this time, Qu shouted in a loud voice: "Everyone, I will not abandon anyone, and Jiulong will not abandon anyone. I will stay and fight those monsters to the end. Moreover, no one from the Kowloon high-level will evacuate. All those who evacuate are civilians. We discovered this crisis long ago after the Great Revolution. We didn't tell everyone, mainly because unprecedented situations would occur. Kowloon may be destroyed before the great crisis comes. The countries and cities outside and we established the Ladder Covenant after the Great Revolution. Those who can climb the ladder are the humans we carefully screened by Kowloon. They can bring the energy of the future and retake the earth in the future. We entrust all our hopes to them. And now the monsters outside are almost here. We, as citizens of Kowloon, should understand what is going on. What you are doing now is extinguishing the last spark of fire and truly destroying us Kowloon."
"So now we have to go fight those monsters and die?" a young man shouted in a crying voice.
Qu Yizheng said, "Yes, you and I, Jiulong's last trump card, will go out and fight these constructs that were once human. They are willing to fight together with us. Perhaps we will die in this battle, our bodies cut open by those monsters, and blood will spray on our faces. Everyone fears death, afraid of the death of their loved ones, but this is not meaningless. Your actions will be recorded in human history forever. Future generations will remember your glory, and we are extremely honored."
Qu's speech made everyone present excited. In fact, it was self-encouragement for everyone, because disobeying would only lead to death, so they could only motivate themselves.
"Yes, what have we Kowloon people ever been afraid of?"
"Let those junks see how powerful we are."
"I haven't touched a gun in a long time. Today is the last time I'm going to have a good time."
They said they were happy, but everyone was crying because they were forcing their lives to burn in this moment.
After a while, the roar of the monster outside gradually approached the city gate. The terrifying sound made everyone present feel terrified.
Seeing this situation, Qu quickly gave the order: "All seal bearers, begin entering the ladder now. Young men and soldier constructs will be the first line, women and the elderly will be the second, and children and the elderly, the weak and the disabled will be the last. Stretch out the defense line. Those without weapons, go to Kowloon Building to get weapons. Go get medical supplies for the medics. The gate can probably hold out for another hour. Go up to the city wall first to prevent the monsters from climbing up."
Everyone started to move. Seeing this situation, the male construct sent me to the entrance of the ladder: "Smelly boy, let's go! Maybe I'll still be alive when you come back one day, haha! Just kidding." No, this is not funny at all.
Construct: "It's said that the biggest difference between constructs and robots is that we have feelings, but robots don't. Before I became a construct, my name was Ross. Don't forget it, little brat." The construct named Ross patted my head and left without looking back.
I entered this tube-shaped elevator. The expressions of the people inside were as ugly as mine. They all looked numb. Some of them also had relatives who had not come up. Some might have died now. I sat on the floor above the elevator, with dull eyes, waiting quietly for the elevator to operate.
The faint sound of gunfire outside the ladder echoed in everyone's heart.
Suddenly, Master Qu's voice appeared on the ladder: "From now on, no one is allowed to enter the ladder. The ladder is about to start operation. The defense line has been breached. Activate the ladder immediately."
"What's going on? There are still many people who haven't come in yet. Are you going to give up on them?"
