414. End of Volume 2. Another era is coming...
"Team Leader Huo!" Someone was shaking her body.
It is difficult to describe Huo Wenxi's current situation. For the first time, she experienced her soul leaving her body. The whole world became simple and clean, and a huge eyeball in the sky was looking down at her.
The eyeball is like the sun, and every blink is like the alternation of day and night.
Huo Wenxi used to be afraid of this eyeball, and she would lament the insignificance of human beings every time. Now she is no longer afraid, and even feels a sense of intimacy.
This is the "ancestral" eye of the Huo family. Grandma Huo Jinsheng, mother Huo Huaiying, and Zhu Ning have all used it. They were chosen by some force to become observers, and their destinies are connected because of the eyeballs.
Huo Wenxi was at a loss. She was briefly pulled under the eyeball and prayed that her sister Zhu Ning would also be there.
But she didn't see Zhu Ning, she was the only one here.
History flows slowly beneath his feet, and he can see the ever-changing world in the blink of an eye. The ability of foresight has brought tens of millions of possible futures, but as time goes by, some "answers" are denied, and there are few endings left in the ocean of consciousness.
Huo Wenxi knew that this was the impact of reality, and Zhu Ning's actions were affecting the future.
Huo Wenxi's worst prediction may come true. Zhu Ning, who has become a demon, does not care about the life and death of ordinary people.
She wanted to see again what the so-called ultimate world or the true future was.
Huo Wenxi felt a sudden pain in his heart. Someone had given him a needle in the heart. Huo Wenxi breathed subconsciously.
call--
The cold air filled her lungs, the chaotic images moved away from her, and her huge eyeballs were trembling.
Huo Wenxi wanted to stay under the eyeball for a while longer, or give herself another minute, but reality did not allow it, and she was pulled away by a force.
"Team Leader Huo!" The rebels waved their hands in front of her, and Huo Wenxi's eyes naturally reacted.
It was over, and Huo Wenxi completely returned to reality. In Xuan Qing's camera, she turned from a frozen image into a living thing.
There are rebels around Huo Wenxi, and the mycelium man who was holding her down before has stopped.
Huo Wenxi felt a pain in his heart as he breathed, and asked, "How long?"
"Sixty-five seconds." She got the answer immediately. Huo Wenxi's personal perspective seemed to have been exiled for a lifetime, but in fact it was only one minute.
Huo Wenxi's mind was in a mess, and he quickly asked, "What's going on now?"
Someone helped her up and discovered that the wounds on her body were bleeding. The resistance soldier who came to rescue her probably cared more about Huo Wenxi's life and death and wanted to bandage her wounds first, but Huo Wenxi pushed his hand away, grabbed the deputy brain and asked, "How is it?"
Xuan Qing was on the other side of the secondary brain and finally saw Huo Wenxi wake up. She breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt greater pressure, as if the superior had come to hold her accountable, and Xuan Qing became the soldier who needed to be held responsible.
Xuan Qing didn't say anything, because what was going to happen next didn't need words to explain, just watching.
There is an electronic screen on the sky dome of the fourth area, which projects the current situation in various places. Many ordinary people who did not have time to enter the shelter watched from this perspective.
Now Huo Wenxi has also become one of them, and the speed of obtaining information is not much faster.
[Level 1 defense wall failure]
[Second Zone Automatic Defense System Failure]
[The third zone is invalid...]
The failed protective wall is like a falling domino. This is not an intelligence network exclusive to the upper class, but is open to the whole world. People have to accept the whole process of losing Prometheus' protection.
Human beings have relied on artificial intelligence for many years and have paid the price at this moment. The scythe of fate has fallen on everyone.
Huo Wenxi typed two words on the secondary computer with trembling hands. The blood on her fingers made her movements not very smooth, or maybe her mind was confused. In any case, she only typed meaningless characters.
Huo Wenxi realized he was doing something useless, stopped typing, and asked, "What's outside the north wall?"
Her voice was very soft, no longer as decisive as before. Xuan Qing transferred the video to her.
The north wall is the outermost part of the entire human survivor base. A corner of a huge creature can be seen in the yellow sand. Its tentacles are extremely large, and it makes people grit their teeth through the screen. The source of the disaster is moving towards here.
Not to mention the north wall, most of the high walls were motionless, as if they were dead.
At this point, the survival of mankind is truly in Zhu Ning's hands. Huo Wenxi's lips trembled, and she swallowed the sound she wanted to make. She didn't know whether Zhu Ning was watching her.
The automatic defense system of the high wall did not activate. She saw the kingdom of God tremble and then fall rapidly like a fireball.
The consequences of falling under such pressure are unimaginable. For a moment, Huo Wenxi felt that the path chosen by his grandmother was the right one.
The sparks created by the fall of the Kingdom of God are growing more and more spectacular, and the whole world is watching a show, at the cost of death.
Some people didn't dare to look directly, but Huo Wenxi was always watching. She said that she would take all the blame with Zhu Ning. If possible, she would even rush to the far north to tell Zhu Ning that she was not alone.
The behemoth and the base of human survivors are getting closer and closer. The storm blows up the roofs, as if it is the center of a disaster. For the tiny humans, what they need is very little. They don’t want to defeat the enemy all at once, but just want to find a protective shield to hide so as not to be killed immediately by the oncoming wind and sand.
This was not an unreasonable request when Prometheus was still usable, but now it has become an unknown.
Su He himself didn't even show up, but he could still witness humanity's self-destruction.
With a loud bang, the tentacles slapped the north wall, hitting the wall again and again, and the kingdom of God on the other side fell faster and faster.
Disasters always occur in pairs, and humans are struggling to survive in the floating doomsday base.
Even if Huo Wenxi could stop it, what would he do? On one side was Lu Yuan, and on the other was Zhu Ning.
Some people around her had already closed their eyes, waiting for death to come, but Huo Wenxi was still trying to keep her eyes open. The tentacles in her eye sockets stopped wriggling, making her feel even more painful.
"The north wall has cracked." A report from an unknown team came into the deputy brain.
"The evacuation of refugees from the Fifth District is incomplete."
"The north wall is expected to collapse in one minute."
Amidst the banging sounds, Huo Wenxi could only sketch out the outline of the world through fragments of words, and realized that any emergency plan he had made was useless.
Suddenly, she felt someone moving around her. At such a critical moment, everyone's attention was on the screen above, or running for a bigger goal.
No one noticed the mycelium man next to Huo Wenxi because Prometheus had been offline and she had been shut down long ago. She was a two-meter-five-meter-tall mechanical warrior. Suddenly, she stretched out her mechanical arm and gently pressed against Huo Wenxi's back.
Huo Wenxi's body froze for a moment, as if an assassin was standing behind him, but the mechanical warrior behind him said, "It's actually very beautiful."
She was admiring the beauty of the fallen Kingdom of God.
Her voice was unfamiliar. When she was being controlled, she was Huo Wenxi's enemy. Now, her voice was so strange that people couldn't react. Even the resistance forces didn't take any effective action.
Under normal circumstances, people would definitely suspect that she was an assassin or an enemy who came to take advantage of the situation to disrupt the situation, but Huo Wenxi did not sense any murderous intent. The mechanical arm was just against Huo Wenxi's back. She saw her weakness, so it gave her a fulcrum to prevent her from falling.
Huo Wenxi's attention was diverted, no longer looking at the Kingdom of God and other battle situations, but turned to look at the person behind him.
The other person's eyes were gentle and familiar.
Huo Wenxi trembled. Zhu Ning was in the far north, but she was also in front of him.
If only Prometheus was killed, the first signal released would be the failure of the defense wall, all controlled mycelium people would stop moving, and the mechanical warriors and automated factories under Prometheus's jurisdiction would shut down.
However, all this did not happen as expected. The human-machine joint device on the mycelial man's solar system emitted a black light, replacing the previous blue, which looked very dark, more like a demon controlling humans.
However, Huo Wenxi felt a sense of security, as if he had seen his relatives.
When the kingdom of God fell and the walls collapsed, Zhu Ning appeared behind him, took over the control of the mycelium man, silently extended a mechanical arm, and supported Huo Wenxi's retreating body.
"Zhu Yao is about to die." Zhu Ning said through the mycelium man's mouth.
Huo Wenxi didn't expect to hear these words. The death of the mother of the Alpha series should not have been so silent, but it was indeed the case. The deaths of many great figures in history were no different from those of ordinary people.
Died from a natural disaster, died from injuries or illness, died from an accident.
No one can accurately control his or her own death and arrange a grand ceremony for the god of death. We are all just ordinary people.
"I'm free." Zhu Ning said softly.
Huo Wenxi couldn't tell Zhu Ning's exact emotions, because the person she was controlling was too different from Zhu Ning himself, and his tone was even colder. The only thing Huo Wenxi could sense was relief, as if Zhu Ning had gotten over this moment.
Huo Wenxi really wanted to hug her.
boom--
In the distance, the Kingdom of God, which was falling at high speed, suddenly slowed down in mid-air. Lu Yuan destroyed everything on the Kingdom of God. Huo Wenxi thought that she would drop the Kingdom of God at an unstoppable speed. She witnessed with her own eyes the sinful land shattered into countless pieces, crushing the city-state below, and causing countless deaths, because Lu Yuan didn't care.
Even if she wanted to change her mind, it wouldn't be easy to regret it.
But the fact is that the speed of the Kingdom of God's fall slowed down, the supply pipeline of contaminated spores was reopened, and the bottom energy was supported again, which was equivalent to a gentle hand holding up the bottom of the falling island.
This hand did not interfere with Lu Yuan's thoughts, but only made the landing lighter, preferably as light as a feather.
Boom boom boom——
As the Kingdom of God fell, huge amounts of pollutants hit the high north wall, creating a crack in the wall and allowing wind and sand to pour into the city wall.
Black mycelium appeared on the surface of the wall, which was more viscous than the original mycelium of Prometheus. The texture was very strange, almost like asphalt.
The mycelium weaved into a new network, restarting the wall's automatic defense. If the north wall collapsed, there would be another wall. All the domes were locked. If viewed from above, the human survivor base looked like a honeycomb, with each grid inside representing an area. There was a crack in the outer north wall.
Now the black slime has enveloped the hive and penetrated every corner. In addition to the large-scale defense system, there are also countless surveillance systems.
In an instant, a tide of black mucus surged in, as if spreading directly from the Far North to the human base. The neural network spread throughout the human body. Zhu Ning requisitioned Prometheus's channel.
Every Mycelium person blinked, blinking at the same pace that was creepy. The stopped mechanical warriors started up again, and the man who was standing on the rooftop and committing suicide jumped off the rooftop. Zhu Ning stood silently behind Huo Wenxi, put his hand on her back, and said to her, "You are really beautiful."
Huo Wenxi initially thought that Zhu Ning was describing the sparks produced by the fall of the Kingdom of God, and perhaps this was also the meaning, but she felt power from the cold mechanical arm behind her.
Darkness falls, and the devil takes over the giantess's brain. If humans lived under the control of Prometheus before, they will live under the control of the devil next.
Darkness has arrived, Zhu Ning devours Prometheus and takes on all of his sins and karma.
Some people around her cheered and re-confirmed the situation, but Huo Wenxi did not move. She had no time to pay attention to more information. She reached out and held Zhu Ning's hand, and Zhu Ning did not let go.
At such a significant moment, Huo Wenxi just wanted to be a bystander and witness it with Zhu Ning.
They watched with their own eyes as one era passed and another was about to begin.
