martyrdom
Hello, world. Zhu Ning once said hello to the world.
Hello, new world, Su He greeted Zhu Ning, which sounded like a kind of irony.
Contaminated blood was dripping from the palm of Unit 03. The blood was red, and Su He's fluttering windbreaker was also red.
The cold stone statue was staring at her, and Su He behind Song Zhizhang was also staring at her.
Life was too painful for her.
Did Zhu Yao create Zhu Ning to make her suffer? Did Zhu Ning create Unit 03 to make her suffer?
If human beings have no dignity in life, then is there any meaning in life?
Unit 03's eyes were pitch black, with a liquid-like substance oozing from its eye sockets. It wasn't tears or blood, but rather a black, slightly twitching mucus that hung down like two black bloodstains, or like the facial lines of a cat.
Qin Yun seized the opportunity to sprint. She had a message to deliver and couldn't die here. Zhu Ning and Su He were her more worthy opponents. She should find a way to leave. Black lines covered her surroundings. The rat-headed man had opened up the contaminated area. She couldn't leave unless the source of the pollution died or Su He gave her permission.
Qin Yun silently shrank his body, and the dark shadow condensed into the shape of an eyeball and dived underground. Under normal circumstances, Su He would only hurt the surface, and the underground was relatively safe.
As her body sank, she glanced at the surface of Unit 3. The black slime looked like another creature.
Qin Yun was actually a little scared when she saw this scene. Zhu Ning's target was definitely not her, but this was the instinctive reaction of the creature. The black slime itself symbolized a part of the new world. What would happen if she was touched by the black slime?
She didn't know how much control Zhu Ning had over the wall now, was it swallowing or manipulation?
Before Qin Yun could figure it out, Unit 03's body melted into a black shadow and flowed into the ground like ink. The next second, a face with black lines appeared behind Su He. Unit 03 had a blank expression on its face, and the knife in its hand fell again, as if it didn't care whether it would hit Song Zhizhang's body or not.
Su He was covered in armor, so naturally it was not cut through, but a bright mark was left, and white mist was steaming out of the surface. It was not a shadow-type ability, but a corrosion-type ability.
Green liquid flowed through the black blade, quickly corroding Su He's neck.
Qin Yun understood that Unit 3 wanted to corrode Su He's defense. As expected, she would not enter Area 82 without preparation. The biggest nemesis of the defense system is the corrosion system.
The tactics of Unit 03 remained unchanged from the beginning to the end, which was to force Su He to take action to consume her special abilities. Song Zhizhang's defense system also had its limits, otherwise Song Zhizhang would not have quit the team because he failed to protect his teammates.
Song Zhizhang's supernatural powers had gradually weakened when he was alive. After being made into armor, how many attacks can he withstand?
Su He laughed instead. This was interesting. Her goal had always been the new world, and Zhu Ning had to show corresponding strength to catch her eye.
The blade filled with corrosive liquid slashed across Su He's neck for the second time. Her goal was to cut the original wound again and really hurt Su He's skin.
Su He turned around and reached behind her. The movement was so casual that it seemed as if she was slapping a mosquito to death. The body of Unit 3 suddenly stopped in mid-air. Su He's whole body was covered with hard armor, and Song Zhizhang's body pressed against her like a rock.
Su He's hand clamped onto Unit-3's neck, and the knife raised by Unit-3 couldn't move forward any further. The two were very close to each other, and her neck made a grinding sound, and her breathing became weaker and weaker.
With a bang, Unit 3's body was pressed against the wall, and she coughed up blood. Because Su He was too strong, spider web patterns had been left on the wall behind her, and Unit 3 was like an insect trapped in a spider web.
Su He still didn't snap her fingers. She was an executioner trained by the First Military Region. Even without using her biggest trump card, she had countless ways to kill the enemy.
"You dare to kill me like this?" Su He didn't care about the wound on her neck, but she was surprised by Zhu Ning's reaction. Song Zhizhang's corpse only had a deterrent effect on her for a few seconds.
Did Unit-03 triumph over her emotions? Or is the current operator actually the cold-blooded Zhu Ning?
With a loud crash—
Su He crushed the Unit 03 like a vase, and the body suddenly shattered into pieces. The glass-like material slipped through Su He's fingers, leaving only a broken wall in its place, with brick chips falling down.
Su He had already seen one of the special abilities chosen by Unit 03, splitting and reassembling.
The broken pieces of Unit 03's body were like countless pieces of a puzzle. Su He forced her into a corner, and the only way out was Su He's back.
The broken and reassembled superpowers must be reassembled, and the user cannot exist in the form of fragments for too long, otherwise he will die because he cannot connect with other parts of the body.
The fragmented body of Unit 03 re-fused ten meters away, retreating as it fused. The fusion speed was very slow, especially on the neck where five finger marks were left. Su He twisted her cervical vertebrae, and it was as if Su He was pinching a can, and the mechanical parts inside had been destroyed.
The surface of Unit 3 was crackling with electricity. She took a deep breath, and with her breath, the concave part of her neck was regenerating.
Her fourth ability card is a healing card, which is used to increase her chances of surviving under Su He.
As expected, Su He didn't even look at Unit 03. She wiped the side of her neck with two fingers. Unit 03 had just slashed here with its corrosive blade, and the remaining corrosive liquid had corroded her fingers. Unit 03's blade didn't hurt her real blood vessels, but cracks had formed on the surface of her armor.
Su He's index finger and middle finger were corroded. At this time, she made an action that was very common for other people, but it would be terrifying only when Su He did it. She put her thumb and index finger against each other.
Unit 03's feet had just touched the ground and it hadn't yet stood firmly when it suddenly raised its head.
Click——
Su He snapped her fingers, and Unit 3 faced the dead line for the first time. Standing in front of her in Area 103 was Song Zhizhang. The Cheetah Team members and Shen Xingqiao were responsible for diverting Su He's attention, and countless demon hunters cleared the way for Zhu Ning.
She remembered their fate very clearly. The mountain cat was broken into two halves and was glued together by ice powers. Shen Xingqiao was paralyzed and took more than half a year to stand up again. The death toll of other demon hunters who participated in the battle was as high as three thousand.
This is the direct death part, not including the chain reaction and crimes committed by other members of the Recovery Society.
Unit 03 was mentally prepared, as this was even part of her plan. However, when it all happened, she realized that no amount of preparation was of any use. A sharp murderous intent came towards her, and it seemed as if all the oxygen in the air was killed. The line of death advanced inch by inch, killing everything: air, rocks, buildings, and even humans.
There wasn't even any blood when the line of death touched the rat-headed man. The rat-headed man with deformed appearance and different sizes only had a stunned reaction when facing Su Heshi, and then was crushed into ashes.
People often describe killing as easy as cutting wheat with a knife. Unit 03 has participated in so many battles and killed so many enemies. For the first time, it truly realized what wheat was. It was like looking at a sickle coming towards it but having no way to escape. As a plant with roots deeply rooted in the soil, it can only passively accept the only outcome.
die.
The newly reconstructed body of Unit 03 melted quickly. When she chose to decompose, she took Su He's ability into consideration. Since the essence of Su He's Death Line is to decompose matter to the point where it cannot be decomposed any more, she can destroy herself first.
But it is obvious that Unit 03 can only split its body into pieces, and it is impossible for it to break itself into powder and then glue itself back together.
Shadowing and decomposition and reorganization both take time, which is still too slow compared to Su He.
From the perspective of an observer, all this happened at a speed beyond imagination. In just a blink of an eye, the line of death that Su He unfolded did not destroy everything within sight, but was actually only the size of a knife.
The place where the line of silence passed was like a road being cleared in the snow, or like a row of harvested wheat in a farmland. Only white ashes were left on the one-meter-wide and one-kilometer-long road.
The ashes piled up, this is the thickness of life, only three centimeters thick.
Everything dies on this narrow road.
The contaminated area condensed by the rat-headed man suffered severe damage, and thousands of rats let out crazy roars, the sound was sharp and high-frequency, like dying animals.
Su He probably knew where the source of the pollution was in advance and did not directly open the contaminated area, but now the black lines are twitching, which means that the non-natural humans can no longer hold on.
The roar of the rat-headed man lasted for a full minute. Su He glanced over and expressed his annoyance at the sound. It was as if a hand pressed the pause button, and the roar of the rat-headed man suddenly disappeared. The rats hugged their heads with distorted facial features, looking more painful than before.
The rat-headed man was even more afraid of Su He, so he retreated step by step, quickly clearing a circle.
"Is it over? Qin Yun is hiding underground." One of the mice could speak human language. His voice was particularly unpleasant, and he could not be discovered by blending in with the mice. Pollution sources like to hide in the forest. He still remembered the traitor Qin Yun, and Su He never tolerated traitors.
Su He didn't respond to this sentence at all. The smile on her lips became even bigger, as if she had figured something out. She walked step by step to Song Zhizhang's body.
Defensive abilities can open up defensive walls, just like the one Song Zhizhang left in Area 103.
Su He used a small piece and condensed it into a human figure, just to scare Zhu Ning. The sculpture-like thing didn't even have facial features.
A figure leaned against the stone wall. Unit 03 had re-fused itself into its own body, but perhaps due to the limited use of its supernatural powers, the glued parts were constantly oozing with blood, as if a person was about to fall apart.
Unit 03 can no longer use splitting and reassembling. If it does that again, she will die here.
She leaned her back against Song Zhizhang's body, the only safe place on the battlefield. Unit 03's body was slowly recovering. She noticed that the light in front of her was blocked, and was not surprised to see Su He's condescending face.
"Once." Unit 03 tilted its neck and said hoarsely.
Su He paused for a moment, then quickly realized what Unit 3 meant. She meant that she had tricked him once, and he was still alive, so the plan was effective.
Su He's ability limit is still far away. She can at least last five minutes without interruption, and Unit 03 can only withstand it once more at most.
Su He smiled. They were like seniors and juniors.
She had been observing Zhu Ning for a long time. Every time Zhu Ning accomplished something big, Su He watched him. Su He would browse Zhu Ning's True God Society forum and never caused trouble for the True God Society. She even allowed Huo Wenxi to develop Zhu Ning's believers.
Su He observed people's comments on Zhu Ning. Some people cursed Zhu Ning as a devil, while others prayed to Zhu Ning as if he were a god.
Su He is different from everyone else. She has been walking alone on this road for so many years. When she looked back, she found that there was a little tail following her. Zhu Ning was walking on the same road with her.
Su He could empathize with the pain that even Huo Wenxi could not.
"There's no point in killing me." Su He looked at her with pity. "My death won't change anything."
It had already happened a long time ago, Su He just lit the fuse, she couldn't go back in time.
Su He is not afraid of death. It doesn't matter whether she dies early or late.
"I know." Unit 03 knew it when she arrived. She knew that she could not take revenge, nor could she truly kill Su He.
Only when she saw Song Zhizhang's body did she realize how incompetent she was.
But she always felt a glimmer of hope, as if she could get more information from Su He and solve everything.
She can also avenge Song Zhizhang, give an explanation to the dead demon hunter, and find a way to save the world.
But nothing happened.
Su He looked at her for a while, then half squatted down, as if she saw a dying animal on a rainy day. She was a bad person, but that didn't stop her from holding an umbrella for kittens and puppies when she felt like it.
Unit 03 is accumulating strength. She still has four unused supernatural chips. Although the chance of a comeback is very small, Unit 03 will not give up.
Su He should have taken this opportunity to kill Unit 03, but unfortunately she had no interest in bullying small animals.
In her eyes, Unit 3 was like a cat shivering in the rain.
"New world." Su He called her.
Unit 03 would have felt fear before experiencing the line of silence, but now the fear has vanished. It is difficult to describe the feeling at that moment in detail. When people are afraid, their heartbeat accelerates, and when it accelerates to a certain level, it no longer feels like fear, but more like anticipation.
For a moment she didn't want to do anything, waiting for the scythe of death to fall.
She is not afraid of death. All her companions have died, so how could she be afraid of death?
Su He realized that all the people who died below the death line were similar. They longed for death, as if the self-destructive tendency engraved in human genes was at work.
Kill me, Unit 03 was also praying silently, just like the people on the execution ground.
"Why do you always call me New World?" Unit 3's throat was full of blood, staring at the hem of Su He's windbreaker. Did Liu Liu look at the hem of Su He's clothes in the same way at that time? She was so desperate that she could do nothing.
"I am not her." Unit 03 said, Zhu Ning is the new world.
Su He did not answer this question. She stared into the eyes of Unit 3. The surface of the eyeball was covered with black mucus, which meant that Zhu Ning behind her had not taken any action. She neither tried to take over the control of Unit 3's body nor provided assistance in the form of black mucus.
They all have their own plans. Unit 03 is trying to trick Su He into taking action, and Su He is trying to force Zhu Ning to join the battle.
Zhu Ning had indeed lost her emotions. She had no reaction when she saw Song Zhizhang's body, and she could also watch another of herself die silently.
What is Zhu Ning waiting for?
She and Zhu Ning were never competitors. They were like another partner that Su He was waiting for in a relay race.
They carry similar fates, like two sides of a coin, Su He represents destruction and Zhu Ning represents rebirth.
But Zhu Ning is too young. She cannot become a bright banner like Su He. If Su He were her teacher, he might teach her this part.
"You know how to kill me correctly." Su He said.
Kill her correctly? What does that mean? Unit 3 itself does not have the ability to kill Su He. She carefully considered Su He's words. Su He is not the kind of person who talks a lot. Every word she said has meaning. Su He's emphasis is correct.
Why does she always call herself the New World? Is it because the world is the corpse of a female giant, and Zhu Ning is equivalent to a female giant?
Unit 03 is unclear about this boundary, and perhaps the one who knows it best is Zhu Ning herself. Zhu Ning is a newly created container, but it is obvious that she has not swallowed up all the pollutants in the world. Along the way, she has only swallowed up some important organs, such as the heart and nerves.
The human neural network is spread throughout the body. Under this premise, the polluted area outside the wall has been connected by default and does not need to be swallowed up with effort.
What about inside the wall?
Unit 3's expression became increasingly confused, and suddenly her heart skipped a beat. She stared at the black lines in front of her in disbelief. The background color of the polluted area was so common to a demon hunter that Unit 3 hadn't thought there was anything wrong. Now, she felt that the black lines were like a sword of Damocles hanging overhead.
What Su He meant was that if Zhu Ning wanted to stop all this and stop the yellow sand from spreading outside the wall, including killing Su He easily, there was still one last way left, which was to actively overturn the high wall from the outside, pollute all human survivors' bases, and make the entire world form a common pollution zone, so that the female giant's body would be "complete."
Su He wants Zhu Ning to go his own way.
What happens after it's complete? Unit 03's thinking continues, Zhu Ning can pollute the entire world, and humans can live in her polluted area?
But is that still human?
So humanity is bound to perish. What is the difference between dying at the hands of Su He or at the hands of Zhu Ning?
Zhu Ning is already close to being a god. Her way of calculating and thinking has been completely elevated. She had thought of this a long time ago, and meeting Su He was just to confirm it.
Su He was like seeing a poorly performing student finally come to his senses. "You've investigated and found out that the world is the corpse of a female giant. The female giant is dead, and her body is rotting, causing the world to become polluted. That's true, but everything has multiple interpretations, or in other words, Zhu Ning had multiple choices."
The results of human exploration of the world are not irrefutable truths.
Unit 03 always seems dazed when hearing Zhu Ning's name, as if it is talking about her but not her t.
"Zhu Ning could certainly preserve the human wall to replace the deceased female giant and slow down the world's decay. Even if humans were lucky enough to win this time and some surviving humans survived for a few years, humanity could only wait for the illusory hope of the future and the arrival of the next savior. This is the most mediocre option."
"She can also choose to tear down the walls and contaminate everyone before me. This would also be equivalent to bringing the surviving humans under her protection. Embracing human evolution like me, you and I would be allies."
Su He advocates the evolution of all mankind, so she said that she might be the same kind of person as Zhu Ning.
Unit 3 frowned, feeling disgusted by this method, and asked, "Is there a third way?"
Su He: "After polluting the entire world, Zhu Ning is the core source of pollution. Killing her may truly purify the world."
Su He's voice was flat, as if a teacher was explaining some basic knowledge. She was so calm and objective, and disdained any verbal inducement.
Only weak people would use words to divert attention at such times. Su He doesn't need that.
And what she said was the truth. Zhu Ning's system panel had a main task that had never changed, which was to purify the world.
The basic logic of the polluted world is that if you find the source of pollution, you can purify the polluted area. This logic supports the actions of the Witcher and is also the reason why humans can survive in the polluted world to this day.
"Martyr." said Unit 03.
Zhu Ning is already standing on the edge of a cliff, only one step away from the real God. God lives in textbooks and exists as interpreted by believers. The best God in the world is a dead God.
In this way, there will be no problem no matter how the doctrine is preached.
It is not enough to just personify things and humanize them; people also need to be symbolized.
Not only does Zhu Ning have to strip herself of all her flesh, blood, and emotions, she must also sacrifice herself and hand over the right of interpretation to the world.
If there were an anonymous vote, the majority would probably want Zhu Ning to die. After all, she was born to complete a mission; that was her original purpose, just like humans invented sweepers to help with cleaning. If Zhu Ning didn't go, countless hands would push her back, sending her to hell.
"Just like you," said Unit 03.
Su He is a martyr of the Resurrection Society. She is willing to die to destroy the world, so there is no difference between them in essence.
Su He smiled and shook his head, "I'm not."
Unit 3 didn't understand what Su He meant and asked, "When I came here, you were talking to that shadow-type psychic. You wanted her to find Huo Wenxi."
Unit 3 had already arrived. She observed from the side for a while and was ready to take action immediately after hearing Huo Wenxi's name.
She didn't know what Su He wanted to do, but her first reaction was to stop him, trap Qin Yun in the contaminated area, and prevent her from getting close to Huo Wenxi.
"Do you want her to tell Huo Wenxi about this?" asked Unit 3.
Qin Yun's body was hidden underground. She had survived a horrific battle and was just above the sewer. When she heard this, she suddenly stopped. What Su He said contained too much information, and the intelligence she had previously thought was valuable had completely lost its value.
Su Heyou left a way out for this world. Huo Wenxi is Zhu Ning's biggest ally and the president of the True God Society. She created Zhu Ning's social image.
If Zhu Ning chooses to sacrifice her life, she needs someone to cooperate with her, and Huo Wenxi is the best choice.
Su He: "You may not believe this, but I am the one who least wants you to sacrifice yourself."
Su He's position has never changed. She held the same position when the Kingdom of God tried to force Liu Niannian to sacrifice herself: the world should not be saved by a specific person.
There was no falsehood in Su He's words. She was a staunch destroyer, and Zhu Ning saving the world would cause her trouble. The saviors and destroyers were naturally opposed to each other.
So much history has proven that humans always destroy the world, try their best to save it, and then repeat the cycle.
"Ha." Unit 03 laughed out loud. She laughed softly, then couldn't help laughing out loud, but that laughter was so empty, everything went to nothingness.
She didn't know what made her feel ironic. Everyone wanted to push Zhu Ning away, but only Su He, her enemy, felt pity for her.
Su He had walked this road before, and she knew what was at the end of it, so she turned back and asked Zhu Ning to leave.
This is so weird. Su He killed Song Zhizhang and Liu Liu. She may not remember the specific name of the cockroach man who died in the basement of Area 103. Su He killed millions of humans, but she sincerely hoped that Zhu Ning would survive.
This kind of expectation is unique in the world and it is really weird.
clatter--
Suddenly, Su He reached out her hand to Unit-03, and her fingers touched Unit-03's forehead. These hands that could easily destroy the world were surprisingly soft. Su He's fingers were corroded by the corrosive liquid, and the blood-red fingertips revealed the snow-white bones.
The residual corrosive liquid soaked Unit 3's forehead. Unit 3 froze, thinking that Su He was going to open her head. The black mucus in her eyes stopped at the same time. Unit 3's breathing slowed down, and she realized that Su He seemed to want to touch the black mucus on her body.
The black slime is part of the giantess's body, but Su He has never touched it. This scene is very strange and even a bit divine. It is like the famous mural in history where when two fingers touch, God passes on the fire of life.
When Unit 03 observed Su He closely for the first time, it found that she was not as powerful as it had imagined. Her face was a little pale, probably because using her supernatural powers had its price.
Su He smiled faintly, and taught like a teacher, "Come and try to kill me for real."
The correct interpretation of this sentence is to invite Zhu Ning to overthrow the high walls and pollute the world, and killing Su He will be just a coincidence. Su He cannot resist the new world, and the terrifying power of the Dead Silence Line will be as weak as an ant in front of the entire new world. They will complete a status exchange, Su He will play the role of wheat, and Zhu Ning will play the role of sickle.
This is what it means to truly kill Su He.
