The top of the tower is melting, and bricks are falling off the walls. Aberrations are appearing in large numbers in the white tower.
All the people living in the tower were swarming down the long staircase. Only Ni Ji was swimming upstream.
In order to be faster, he ran almost vertically along the wall most of the time. Most of the people rushing down to escape only felt a gust of wind passing over their heads.
This tower is so huge, with each floor being the size of a small village. Even taking the high-speed elevator to the top of the tower takes a very long time.
Two mutants leaped out from the darkness and blocked Ni Ji's way forward.
He rushed forward without stopping, strangling one with his black long sword and chopping another with his red bloody blade.
The sentry's black military boots swept past, leaving traces of blood and knife light behind.
Lin Yuan looked at Ni Ji on the virtual screen.
Watching him very seriously. Wanting to memorize his every move and every subtle expression.
He is a handsome warrior. How fast and stable must he be to run on the wall like that?
With extremely long legs, he can leap over obstacles as lightly as a swallow. When he does a ground-touching spin kick, he can kick the enemy away with one swift kick.
Normally, he loves to laugh when he is in front of me. But at this moment, his serious expression is also very attractive.
In short, everything is good.
I really want to wait for him.
Lin Yuan sighed. At this moment, she was sitting on the top floor of the White Tower. The imperial palace above had completely melted away.
The wind became very strong, the whistling sound was ringing in my ears, as if it would blow me away at any time.
The walls on all four sides were slowly melting and sinking down, and the ground was collapsing until there was little left.
Even the stone wall that Lin Yuan was leaning against with his back was shaking and about to collapse.
She heard the dull sound of gunfire coming from the bottom of the tower. From the future she spied on, Lin Yuan knew that one day countless sentinels would invade the White Tower.
Now, I have done everything I can. I have destroyed the queen's body and crushed her spirit.
The rest will be handed over to the warriors who have the same goal as me. I hope those brave sentinels can succeed.
To finally be able to step onto that path of life.
Of course it can be done. There are so many lovely people among them.
Of course it can be done. Everyone in this world has already seen all the truth.
Lin Yuan raised his head, and the entire blue sky appeared before his eyes.
The sky is so beautiful, it seems like I can touch it with my hands.
Under the blue dome, Lin Yuan felt a little sleepy and wanted to take a nap.
Then he closed his eyes slightly.
Then she heard Ni Ji calling her name in the personal terminal, with a slightly hoarse voice, as if she was afraid that something might happen to her.
"Lin Yuan?"
Lin Yuan wanted to tell him that nothing was wrong. She was just a little tired and wanted to take a nap, just for a while.
But he was too tired. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out.
"Lin Yuan!"
The tone of Ni Ji's voice at the end rose, and it sounded like she was about to cry.
Lin Yuan woke up and blinked hard to show that he was fine.
"Don't sleep. You, you listen to me. Speak." The sentry's hoarse voice was accompanied by panting while running, and he began to speak desperately.
"I've learned to make a lot of desserts lately."
"Yes? The latest soufflé, which you said you liked last time."
"I also learned how to make Q-cake. It's very soft and delicious when dipped in soybean powder. You must try it..."
Ni Ji's voice sounded breathless and appealing.
He seldom ran like this. Even when he was running at a life-or-death race in that sea of flowers, Lin Yuan didn't even hear him breathing so heavily.
But he kept talking.
"You know, Lin Yuan, marshmallows are actually delicious when roasted. I'm sure you haven't tried them yet."
"I found a brown sugar jelly shop far away. It has a strong almond aroma. I want to go there with you next time."
Brown sugar jelly cake,
Lin Yuan leaned against the cold stone wall, licked his lips, and finally sobered up a little.
Along with Ni Ji's mumbling, one could also hear the killer whale whimpering.
The tentacle, which had been completely unable to move, slowly crawled out from under Lin Yuan's skirt amid the cries of the big fish.
The tentacles squirmed and grasped the half-broken stone wall, helping Lin Yuan stabilize his body which was about to fall.
With a loud bang, the precarious ground finally couldn't hold on and collapsed.
Lin Yuan's feet felt empty and his body fell downwards.
Fortunately, the only tentacle that could move caught the stone beam at the edge of the gap in time, hanging Lin Yuan on the edge of the ruins on the top of the tower.
The tentacles grabbed the edge of the stone wall, hanging Lin Yuan's entire body.
The wind was blowing hard at the top of the tower, and the badly injured body was swaying in the wind.
There was a huge height difference under my feet, and below me were broken concrete slabs and broken steel bars, and a horrible roaring sound of a distorted being could be heard.
With Lin Yuan's body, he would die if he fell down. It would definitely not be a pretty death.
"I'm still alive." Lin Yuan, who had regained consciousness, immediately spoke to comfort Ni Ji, "Don't be afraid, I'm still alive. The tentacles are hanging on me."
On the other side of the screen, after a few seconds, Ni Ji hummed very softly. The voice was a little shaky, as if it was him, not her, who was hanging on the edge of the ruins.
Lin Yuan wanted to smile at Ni Ji on the other side of the screen, but her face hurt so much that she was afraid that her smile would not look very good.
In fact, she couldn't hold on any longer. But she didn't dare to let go of her tentacles. She couldn't imagine what it would be like if she fell down and was smashed into a meat pie, and Ni Ji rushed up and saw her dead body.
I didn't dare to imagine the scene at that time, so I gritted my teeth and let the tentacles that could hardly withstand gravity hold on.
That person had experienced a life-and-death separation from his best friend. At that time, he was skinny and gloomy, like a lunatic with self-destructive tendencies.
He just got a little better, started to laugh again, and learned to cherish life.
Lin Yuan tried hard to think about Ni Ji, and thought about the delicious food he had told her about over and over again. This gave her some strength, and she raised her arms to grab a little edge of the ruins.
The vision was a little blurry, and I saw the sentinel on the screen holding an anti-gravity gun.
He knelt on one knee, holding the gun in both hands, and without hesitation his black-gloved fingers pulled the trigger and shot at the wall of the White Tower.
The White Tower was once the strongest fortress of mankind. It was completely closed, with no window connecting to the outside world except the window of the palace on the top of the tower.
The outer wall is extremely strong. It has been proven that no weapon that humans have ever used can blast open the outer wall of the White Tower. Not even the anti-gravity gun.
To enter and exit the White Tower, one can only go through the gate at the bottom of the tower.
But the White Tower is different now. The falling of holy bricks has made this once impregnable fortress look riddled with holes.
It was obviously too late to run up the long and narrow stairs. There was only one way left. I had to give it a try.
Ni Ji adjusted the power of the anti-gravity gun to maximum and fired at the weakest point between the holes in the wall.
After a silent shot, cracks appeared on the inner wall.
A huge killer whale appeared from the void and crashed head-on into the cracked area. The pure black fish was slammed into the white tower with a loud bang, and the tower wall shook. With another loud bang, a huge gap was created.
Outside the Baili Tower, the lit virtual screens slowly rotate around the tower.
More and more people quietly gathered outside the tower, and cameras were set up to broadcast this thrilling battle live.
In the camera, there was a loud bang, and a gap appeared in the middle of the white tower due to an explosion.
Broken bones and rocks fell along the outer wall of the tall white tower. A killer whale rushed out of the cave.
A sentry in black stepped on the orca's head and flew along the outer wall of the white tower straight to the top of the tower.
The huge virtual screen was spinning, and the Sentinel Star, with its feet on the killer whale, was flying quickly across those virtual images, speeding through the pages of thousands of human histories.
Like a gorgeous comet, it rushed towards the top of the white tower without any hesitation.
This scene was captured by a camera outside the tower and broadcast on the TV screens that everyone was watching.
Soon, the giant killer whale became small in sight. It climbed all the way up to the clouds, so small that even a high-definition camera could not capture it, and ordinary people could no longer see what was happening there.
"Who is that and what is he doing there?" someone asked.
Ordinary people's vision cannot see the top of the tower from such a long distance.
But the best sentinels can do so when their vision is fully open.
"He went up there to save people. To save the guide who helped all of us."
Ji Xuan stood in the temporary command post built outside the Bai? Tower, his eyes glowing green, and he looked up at the top of the Bai? Tower.
"Come on, Ni Ji." He said in his heart, "Go faster. She can't hold on any longer."
Inside the White Tower, Du Yuanyuan, who had just killed a powerful mutant, took a breath and looked down at the video screen on her personal terminal.
I saw Ni Ji break through the outer wall of the Bai Tower and rush all the way to the top of the tower.
She also knew who was on the top of the tower at that moment. She could also guess who was the reason why the queen's powerful mental power was not activated.
"Come on, Ni Ji. Go to Xiaoyuan quickly." Du Yuanyuan said in her heart.
"Come on, Ni Ji. Don't leave Director Lin alone."
"come on."
Many people pray in their hearts.
Lin Yuan knew that Ni Ji was rushing towards him regardless of everything.
She wants to be able to wait for Ni Ji.
I want it very, very much. I have never wanted it so much in my life.
But is it really true that I can't hold on any longer?
Too much blood had been shed, and the fingers that were clasping the edge of the ruins were cold and numb, and they could no longer be felt.
The tentacles were stretched very long, and the suction cups lost their elasticity and loosened one by one.
The limit.
This really shouldn't happen. It might just be the last bit of time.
Lin Yuan closed his eyes, feeling very sad, and watched his fingers loosen.
When she was falling, she suddenly wanted to say to Ni Ji, if both of them are still alive this time, let's test their compatibility.
No matter what the measured value is, I hope you can come to my house and live with me.
It sounded like the words didn't express what I meant, like a marriage proposal.
It doesn't matter, I just want to propose to him.
What a pity.
I don't have this opportunity.
My body was falling down and my consciousness was becoming blurred.
Ni Ji has already seen Lin Yuan.
The guide's body was covered in blood, hanging on the edge of the collapsed ruins of the tower by a tentacle.
Her fingers finally loosened and her small body fell from a great height.
It was too late. No matter how fast he accelerated, he was still just a little short.
She would fall onto the next level of sharp, jagged rocks.
Just a little bit.
Can't get her? Ah.
The limp body fell out of his sight.
The sentry's eyes instantly glowed purple. He pulled out the anti-gravity gun that he had used once.
Without even a second to aim, he raised his hand and fired several shots at the white tower.
While moving forward at such a fast full speed, each of his shots accurately passed through the gaps in the holes and hit the crucial load-bearing points in the floor.
Terrible dynamic vision, terrible gun control ability.
Lin Yuan fell from the edge of the ruins on top of the tower.
The floor slabs of the next level cracked at the same time, and countless remnants of steel and rubble from human buildings collapsed to the level below with a rumbling sound.
A long huge crack appeared on the ground layer below, followed by an even bigger crack, collapse, and fall downwards.
Lin Yuan fell from a great height, but did not fall on the reinforced concrete ground.
Her body continued to fall down along with the dust and debris.
The floors cracked and rocks and dust fell down one after another.
The killer whale flew towards the rain of falling rocks.
The rubble blinded his eyes and caused his skin to bleed, but the sentry on the whale's back was completely unaware and just stared at the countless fallen rocks in front of him with his eyes closed.
Finally, he met the girl who fell from a high altitude.
He stood on the killer whale's head, stretched out his hands far away, and caught the person steadily when she fell.
Caught it and held it tightly in his arms.
It seemed that in this short period of time, I lost everything and regained everything.
Air began to flow back into his lungs. He was finally able to breathe. His chest was aching, excruciatingly.
Ni Ji stroked Lin Yuan's face, held her in her arms, kissed her forehead repeatedly, and carefully wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth.
Yes, the treatment cabin. Find the treatment cabin immediately.
The killer whale turned its head and flew towards the nearest treatment module.
No, you should give her this first. The sentry hurriedly took out a ring he made from his pocket. With shaking hands, he held it in front of Lin Yuan.
"You agree, right? You will agree. At least give me a status." The last half of the sentence was said while buried in Lin Yuan's hair, and the tone sounded a little crazy.
Isn't it crazy to say such things at this time?
The guide holding the baby in his arms had his eyes closed, his face was pale, and he was unconscious. It was impossible for him to give him any answer.
Why is now the time to say this? Crazy.
The sentry who had just been able to accurately hit the target with a shot from a long distance, now lost his composure and became as confused as a young child.
In the end, he could only hug Lin Yuan tighter, feeling bitter in his heart.
He sat on the whale's back, holding Lin Yuan in his arms, and looked down again and again to check on her condition.
So many of her tentacles were broken and so much blood was shed.
Ni Ji couldn't imagine what would have happened if he had reacted a step slower and only had time to see Lin Yuan falling to the ground.
He didn't know what would happen to him. He didn't even dare to think about it.
Even before that thought came to my mind, my heart was aching as if it were being stabbed by a knife.
Fortunately, she was still alive, lying in his arms, her body soft and breathing weakly.
As long as the patient is alive, the treatment cabin can heal all wounds.
The damage to her spiritual body can be treated by her as her personal sentinel.
I can spend a lot of time with her to help her recover slowly in the way she likes.
From now on, I will never let her do this again.
Never let her act alone again. It would be best if I could cling to her every time, no, every day.
If she likes fish, show her fish; if she likes tails, give her a tail.
If she likes sweets, I will make the most delicious candy for her.
Anyway, whether you hook her or seduce her, one day she will belong to you alone.
I will never abandon myself so easily again and do those life-threatening things alone.
The killer whale flew very fast, and the sound of the wind whistled in my ears. Artillery fire exploded under my feet, and the sound of gunfire and the roar of the monster mixed together.
The battle between humans and the White Tower continues.
More people are coming to join the fight against the mutants, and some are organized to rescue the important reserve resources in the White Tower.
There will be a lot of destruction in this war, but it will also gain a lot.
The tower collapsed with a rumbling sound, and from now on, there was no longer a refuge of eternal peace, the Garden of Eden, in this world.
People will slowly rebuild a new order and establish a new human world on the ruins.
Whether you are a sentinel or a guide, if you want to survive in this world, you must truly break away from your past stereotypes.
A huge fish with a black back and a white belly flew out from the rolling smoke, carrying the sentinel and the guide all the way to the distance.
From the clear blue sky, the sun poured down, shining on the scarred bodies of the two people.
Lin Yuan lay in the treatment cabin for a long time.
When I woke up, the sound of cannon fire had stopped, but I could still hear occasional random gunfire coming from the street.
Ni Ji was guarding outside the treatment cabin. Probably, how long she had been unconscious was equivalent to how long Ni Ji had been guarding her here.
His eye sockets were sunken, and there was even a layer of blue stubble on his chin.
Lin Yuan did not ask Ni Ji about the war. After her spiritual body slowly recovered, she had already read countless information.
Better than I expected? Slightly better.
That day, the White Palace collapsed, the Queen died, and except for a few stubborn ones who escaped, the Empire no longer existed.
This is enough. At least my blood was not shed in vain, and the blood of so many warriors in the White Tower was not shed in vain.
The two of them rode back home on Ni Ji's killer whale.
"What was that you held before?" Halfway through, Lin Yuan suddenly spoke, putting his index finger and thumb together to form a circle.
"I heard everything, although I didn't have the strength to answer you at that time."
The sentry's face suddenly turned red and he turned his head away, refusing to pay attention to her.
He clearly hurt himself like this.
She clearly hid it from him and did such a dangerous thing secretly.
Even now, he is still smiling at me heartlessly, as if nothing has happened.
This person has no idea what kind of torment he has been through, doesn't know the pain in his heart at that moment as if it were being torn out, and doesn't understand the anxiety he has felt while waiting outside the treatment cabin for the past few days.
"Take it out quickly. I agree." The man leaned into his arms, poked him with his finger, and raised his ring finger. "Have you prepared a ring? Let me wear it here."
"Hurry up, I'm very tired. After putting on the ring, I still want to eat candy."
"I heard you then. If you want a tail, give the tail. If you want a fish, give the whole fish."
"You have to keep the promises you made to me."
The same goes for the promises I made in my heart. They can all be heard anyway.
The sentry finally kissed her hand.
Holding her hand, he took out the small ring and solemnly put it on her ring finger.
The ring is polished to a fine luster, and Lin Yuan's name is engraved on the inner ring.
The size was just right, not too big or too small, and it fit perfectly. When the ring was put on, Ni Ji lowered her head and repeatedly kissed her finger with the ring. She even shed tears.
Lin Yuan grabbed the sentry's broad palm.
There were marks from practicing with firearms, and scars from repeated cuts from a knife. But she still looked very pretty, with long, slender fingers and a few pale blue veins floating under her skin, a kind of powerful beauty.
Lin Yuan looked into the sentry's eyes and put the other ring on him.
Both of them locked rings symbolizing loyalty around the base of their fingers that were connected to their heart veins.
The process was silent, with no spoken vows of love.
The mental images of the two people are connected. All the words that need to be said are exchanged with each other in a few moments.
The bright full moon hangs in the night sky, and the sound of the waves on the sea is beautiful.
The tentacles took the killer whale to treat its injuries.
Lin Yuan pinched Ni Ji's fingertips and gently kissed his ring finger.
The two hands were clasped together, and the light of the rings shone brightly.
Lin Yuan once vaguely felt that he was not quite a human being.
Maybe I am a hybrid of monster and human, or maybe I am just a pure monster. I shouldn't live in the human world.
But now it doesn't matter anymore.
She learned all kinds of emotions.
Even learned what love is.
She fell in love with a human. She fell in love with many, many friends. She lived happily in the human world.
The sound of gunfire was still ringing on the ground, and the blood was still flowing out of the White Tower.
The killer whale flew by, and Lin Yuan saw his home in the distance.
The roses on the wall have begun to bud again. Xiaosuo may be busy in the kitchen.
Life is not more stable than before. It is still unknown where the future of mankind will eventually go.
But at least the heart is free.
No longer a slave to anything.
Love each other and go home together with the one you cherish.
That's enough.
