Chapter 50 City District
That day, Guan Buhui should have hated himself for a moment.
Why didn't he study hard when he was in the Capital Star Military Academy?
Obviously, he had so many resources at that time. As long as he wanted, the top scholars and professors in the entire Federation would come to teach him, and the professional team members in the Inspection Court would come to train him -
as long as he wanted, all the skills were at his fingertips.
Why.
Why... didn't he cherish it.
There was no anesthetic in the secret room, but there were painkillers. But that little bit of medicine could only be used temporarily. Facing the pain of digging out the shrapnel from the abdominal wound without protection and disinfection, it was still too weak. Guan Buhui kept reaching for the knife, and the captain had to hold his hand himself and teach him to put his fingers inside.
In order to prevent the puppets from being attracted by the loud noise, she had to hold her coat in her mouth and endure it. Cold sweat dripped from her back and soaked her thin shirt.
When Guan Buhui was wrapping her bandage, the captain was concentrating on looking at the sky outside the one-way glass window.
The golden barrier was shaking violently and making a buzzing sound. The traces of overlapping artillery fire broke through the dome. The face of the hypocrite was playing on the advertising screen of the tall building below. The evil white-haired boy was smiling and continued to preach his moral values.
"In the Kingdom of God, there is no need to think, only to obey - endless obedience and happiness, isn't that good?"
"God will give you everything you need, and you can only get all the glory and a long life by crawling at God's feet."
"Sacrifice for the Lord God... That's what you lambs should do... Right?"
Guan Buhui finally treated the wound tremblingly, sat down on the cold and hard floor, panting and shifting his sight to look at the advertisement screen for a while.
The little parrot now looked quite wolfish, with the originally shiny pink and purple fur now tangled in gray, and his clothes were far less shabby than before like his adoptive father. He stared at the face of the false god for a while, and even had the mind to curl his lips: "It sounds a bit like a cult organization's pyramid scheme
." "It is," the captain leaned against the wall and panted violently, spitting out the fabric of his coat for a while, his face pale, "Don't look into his eyes... you will be mentally polluted if you look too much."
"Mental pollution... don't you feel it?"
Guan Buhui rubbed his eyes and looked again, but didn't notice any dizziness. But he still shifted his gaze - after all, no one wants to become a tentacle puppet.
The two of them sat on the ground for a short rest, and the little parrot asked hesitantly: "So, what happened? That thing..."
"I don't know, no one knows," the captain shook his head tiredly, wrapped another bandage around himself, gritted his teeth and revealed a hint of hatred in his eyes, "Originally everything was no different from usual... That monster suddenly appeared in the Inspection Bureau and directly contaminated a large number of team members working in the bureau. When it came, the ground was covered with sticky tentacles, and it couldn't run far... That thing is not human at all."
"I was just one step away from opening the alarm gate, and when I regained consciousness, you appeared in the conference room."
So, that thing was the monster that his adoptive father had imprisoned in the South Territory test area and soaked in strong acid for more than ten years, and it was able to contaminate the entire test area?
Why did his foster father create this thing?
Why did he come to the M31 galaxy? He
couldn't have really come after him, could he?
Guan Buhui lowered his head and dared not talk about his life experience. He could only frown and think wildly. He seemed to have caught some subtle inspiration.
In some fragments of memory, when the false god was suppressing him, he once said these words sweetly in his ear.
"God...the God you have forgotten..."
"God seems to like you very much..."
God?
Guan Buhui's understanding of God is limited to the ancient history he read in education.
The history books said that it was God who descended in the dark wasteland and acid rain that year, and chose the successor who would lead human civilization and make him stand out from the crowd.
Modern society does not believe in the existence of "God". Compared with "God", people believe that it is some powerful weapon that can stabilize the situation, or some leader with strong cohesion. Although his adoptive father is the heir, every time he mentioned this topic to Guan Jiu, the latter always glanced at him coldly and kept silent about "God".
But judging from the current situation, the existence that can manipulate the entire planet in an instant is definitely not human.
Could it be a real God?
"God" came out to punish the world because humans forgot Him? It sounds a bit like the middle school apocalypse comics he had read before.
"..."
Perhaps it was a symptom of being too nervous, he couldn't help but start to look around again, and fell on the eyes of the false God on the advertising screen.
Just now he had a vague feeling that the eyes of that thing, both in color and shape, were very similar to Fu Jiao.
Speaking of which, the origins of the cubs living in the temple are also very mysterious.
Wuyuan Wugu appeared in the starship for no reason. Wuyuan Wugu was very close to Deng Baoying and even other heirs, and knew nothing about the common sense of modern society.
At first he thought she was Deng Baoying's illegitimate child hidden in some remote planet, but would an illegitimate child live openly in a temple that had been sealed for a long time?
The temple had been strictly locked up since it was built, and was usually only open to high-ranking officials of the Federation - to be precise, only to Deng Baoying. No living person is allowed to enter the palace, and normal infrastructure construction is maintained by housekeeper robots and drones.
Guan Buhui's temples began to ache dully, as if it were a warning when humans touch the edge of the truth. Fragmentary inspirations floated, waiting for him to thread them into a line.
But it's a pity.
Reality does not intend to give him the opportunity to explore the truth.
There was a sudden explosion outside, this time louder than any previous one, accompanied by a crackling sound like glass breaking, shaking the entire Inspection Bureau and even the walls of the secret room.
The two people in the secret room suddenly looked up, but saw that on the distant boundary line, the dark sky full of glowing tracks of gunfire and bullets and shrouded by a golden barrier was shattered.
Broken in the physical sense.
The protective film made of soft tentacles was blasted open by the artillery fire, like the Buzhou Mountain that was broken by the angry gods in the ancient legend, roaring and revealing its original dull color. Countless golden fragments tilted down, and with the horizontal collision, the soft film was torn apart, revealing the huge steel figures of the starships that came to support.
The surging artillery fire and bombing sounds also rushed out from the crack like a pouring waterfall, accompanied by countless drones and mechas.
In just a moment, it took over the entire sky.
"......Ah."
Guan Buhui raised his head stupidly, revealing a stunned look of inexperienced people.
Looking at the drone reconnaissance group carrying ammunition sweeping like a dark cloud in the sky, looking at the mechas landing on the top of the high-rise building and opening their wings to engage in a battle, facing the airships and starships flying through the clouds to avoid the enemy's aim, the whole city was caught in a lightning-fast conquest, and the ammunition falling on the street exploded the wreckage of countless metal bodies.
The city, which was as peaceful and tranquil as before last night, was filled with thick smoke and the smell of burning inevitably spread in the air. War, real war, was completely kicked off
