【Doomsday City】
Edward opened his eyes and held out his limp hand.
He was still dizzy, like a hammer hitting his brain. He had drunk a bottle of red wine and was drugged.
"Click, click, click." The sharp footsteps of high heels were heard. Edward raised his head with a dazed look and saw through the iron bars of the prison a head of long beige hair that seemed to be shining with a thin layer of light.
Tretia stood at the prison door and looked at him indifferently.
"Tretia - I didn't lie to you, the experimental plan is real, you have also seen the sample, and today's Actor is indeed a bionic body!" Edward howled hoarsely.
His whole body was so limp that he could hardly move. After he persuaded Tretia to release the world live broadcast, Tretia drugged his wine and locked him in prison. He never expected that Tretia would turn against him, even though they had been talking happily before. Why are all the NPCs around Su Mingan so wicked?
"Humph." Tretia smiled pleasantly. "You are right. The experimental plan is true, but that doesn't mean..."
She leaned forward, her red lips slightly parted, with a fresh scent of lemon on her body: "It doesn't mean I will completely trust you."
Edward was so angry that his face turned red and his neck became thick.
He had clearly raised Tretia's favorability to 60. But he never expected that Tretia's favorability towards the fake Su Mingan was as high as 90 points. She didn't trust him at all.
——Another person in power! Another advantage of being in power!
Edward subconsciously attributed all his mistakes to identity suppression, as if this was the only reason for his failure.
"It's useless, just kill him." Tretia didn't bother to pay attention to him. She waved her hand, and the soldiers behind her raised their guns and pointed them at Edward.
"Tretia——" Edward roared and activated the life-saving item. With a flash of azure light, he disappeared in the prison.
Tretia frowned and stood there for a moment. Then another set of footsteps came. It was Noah, the blond-haired, blue-eyed man.
"——Tretia, you disclosed the experimental plan privately and led the public to question the city lord. Get ready to be tried by the military court." Noah said coldly.
"I know." Tretia said calmly, "But now that the City of God has launched a nuclear explosion, this matter can be discussed later."
"Do you think you can escape?" Noah asked, "What's the difference between the current Akto and the previous Akto? What good will it do you if you overthrow him? Do you think he can't come back to punish you?"
Tretia stared at him and suddenly smiled.
Her smile was gorgeous and elegant, but it made Noah feel cold in his heart. He didn't know why this mature and steady scientist before the catastrophe of the century had become like this.
——Because of love?
——Because of her almost crazy love for her "teacher"?
What is love?
"Because I love him." Tretia's eyelashes trembled, and the shadow melted in her pupils: "So, this will be my token of allegiance to pave the way for him. Don't stop me, Noah, you poor guy whose favorability is forcibly improved by a weird skill."
Noah took a step back.
He stared at Tretia, who had a crazy look on her face, with trembling eyes.
…
Su Mingan brought Xia Sheng and his group back to Doomsday City in a grand manner.
After the nuclear explosion in the City of God, the people fell into an unbearable despair. No one could save them except the legendary Dawn System.
In the outer city area, residents sat on the ground like dominoes, staring blankly at the sky, as if venting their dissatisfaction in some unique way.
——They seemed to think that they could force Akto to die by using this silent method of group demonstration.
"A bunch of idiots." Luna said lightly when she saw this.
Su Mingan and others came all the way to the inner city. The atmosphere was equally tense. Slogan leaflets were posted everywhere and the sound of emergency communications could be heard continuously.
"Second City Emergency Communication——"
"Freedom Alliance Emergency Communication—"
"Inquisition, (298,498) Emergency communication—"
The calls were endless, and all the allies were urgently requesting help.
Seeing Su Mingan and his men coming, the expressions of Qiao Celin and others changed slightly. Some of them looked panicked, some looked guilty, some looked embarrassed, but more of them were afraid and alienated.
Su Mingan looked at these gazes and was not surprised.
He still remembered that in the first few years of Kaiusta's opening, he had stayed up all night teaching these people in detail how to make machines and how to use biochemical technology for human treatment.
result……
"I just want to ask one question." Su Mingan looked at the silent people: "Do you want me to die?"
The room was silent.
People avoided looking at him, and only vaguely heard the protests coming from the outer city.
"——The City of God has launched a nuclear explosion. We cannot just sit there and wait for death! Human civilization cannot end here!"
"——He has deceived us for more than ten years, hasn't he? He is not our true God at all! Only his death can activate the Dawn System!"
All the information plans released by Tretia can be checked, and they are real plans. Su Mingan established the Divine Religion in the name of Akto. Once the name of Akto is false, the Divine Religion will also collapse.
Back then, in the Skyland, people only recognized him as "the Hundred Gods". If someone could prove that he was not "the Hundred Gods", the Lighthouse Cult would collapse. It is the same now.
The iron laws of the past hang over people's heads, becoming a lingering shadow, stubborn and impossible to dispel. Human hearts and desires are fully reflected at this moment.
"If the death of a living being can bring about the survival of the entire civilization, then its death will be regarded as progress." At this time, a young man named Balk spoke in the corner, his face flushed: "City Lord, you... should understand this."
If Su Ming'an died, Akto would disappear completely, and they would still hesitate.
But if Su Mingan died, there would be a new Aqto - so what was there for them to hesitate about? The difference between Su Mingan's death and immortality was only the "emotional burden" for them, which was insignificant compared to their lives.
Through the surveillance cameras hanging on the wall, you can see the panicked people in the outer city. Most people just want to survive with their loved ones, and for this they can "sacrifice" an imposter.
Everyone in the room avoided looking at each other, as if silently saying,
——Since it is for the survival of civilization, why can't a person die?
What's more, he is not even considered a 'human'.
"Very good." Su Mingan suddenly spoke.
