"Aktor... abandoned us?"
"He took his Dawn System and abandoned this world?"
People looked up with disbelief on their faces.
Violet's pupils trembled, and she turned her head, and dozens of players next to her met her gaze. Their eyes met each other, confirming the fact that "they were abandoned."
"You must be kidding." Wang Si muttered to himself.
"Impossible—Su Mingan won't lose!"
"But even he admitted it himself, what else can we do?"
Violet couldn't see the expressions of each player in the thick black fog, but she could hear their confusion.
…The first player actually admitted that they had lost? They had lost the efforts of generations of human beings, and everything that the “human race” had?
All the sacrifices before that, all the struggles and fights made by those people who could not touch the spring - what were they all for?
Zhang Xiaoqi's lips trembled, and he wanted to say something, but a soldier's roar came from the black fog, like a sharp sword piercing through the black fog:
“——Why! Why!! Why!!!”
This roar seemed to drain all the strength from the soldier's body, venting his grief and resentment. He sat down on the ground with a thud, and a dull whimper came from his protective suit.
"Bang", "bang", "bang", a series of noises rang out, and figures fell to the ground like collapsed mountains. The soldiers dropped their weapons and looked at the sky blankly, not knowing what they were fighting for.
Around them, the silver locators were shining. Every bit of silver light once symbolized hope. But in people's eyes, it was meaningless.
No matter what I do...it's meaningless.
"When I heard that Su Mingan had completed the game perfectly yesterday, I felt something was wrong. This dungeon no longer had any constraints on him. He can even give up this world now," said player Babulu.
When the player next to him, Zhenzhu, heard this, her eyebrows raised: "You are talking nonsense! Haven't you seen Su Mingan's efforts in the past 20 days? If he can save her, he will definitely save her!"
Babulu shrugged: "If you put yourself in their shoes, the fate of the ruined world has nothing to do with us Zhai Xing."
"Are you sick? You have to be the opposite at this time..."
The players' voices became louder and louder, and some people started quarreling.
And Su Mingan's voice continued, with a rumbling echo:
"I deeply regret this outcome."
"Humans have lived on this land for a long time. From the primitive period to the century-long catastrophe, we have experienced a full 102 years of civilization. We should have been destroyed by [Hevi] in the first few years of the invasion. These 102 years are the last time that Aktor can hold out."
"If possible... I also hope to enter the new century with you. I promised Fenghuo this during the Dawn War. I also hoped that one day those beautiful historical memories of mankind, the home we miss - can really be taken back by us."
"The descending layers of three dimensions, the Ouroboros of cause and effect, the grandmother paradox of civilization gamble, the grid theory of time, space and dimension. Actor used all his wisdom as a human being and risked his life to continuously extend the lifespan of the species. I also held my companion's hand and told him before he died that there really is spring in the future."
"But I..."
His voice paused, which was the only emotional fluctuation that people could hear in his farewell speech so far.
"…I seem to have missed the appointment."
“It’s my fault.”
…
At Constantine University, students stopped typing on their keyboards.
Just like the countless times before when he had open classes in the auditorium, the students raised their heads slightly and listened to their city lord's farewell words on the radio, as if it was their last lesson.
There was no roaring or insults in the auditorium, only some faint sobbing. Some young people had moist eyes, with dark circles still left at the edges of their eye sockets from staying up late to write papers.
"Miss." A student girl with big wavy blonde hair approached Yamada Machi and said, "Miss, you are the contact person at Constantine University. Is what the city lord said true?"
Her voice was trembling.
Many students are proud to be able to enter the Central City Laboratory in the future, and some even dream of becoming the city lord's assistant.
They could not accept this ending the most.
“……” Yamada Machi looked around.
In his field of vision, the cursors of hundreds of students' laptops were flashing, but the progress of their papers had completely stopped at the moment they heard the world broadcast, and no one typed another word.
Luo Cha, a student who once ate in the cafeteria with Yamada Machiichi, put down the core journals filled with complex foreign languages in his hands, his eyes full of confusion.
Several students with messy hair stopped working on the math problems they were working on, and unfinished formulas and data were still left on the wall.
Everyone was stuck in a state of stagnation. The future, career, and life had all lost their meaning to them.
Yamada Machiichi saw all of this and whispered to the blond student:
"It's true."
"He has done...his best."
As he said this, his eyes became moist.
Obviously everyone has a clear consciousness, and they do not die in a daze. The demise of each of their lives seems to have a heavy weight in this world.
Just as Yamada-cho saw it, every student sitting in the auditorium should not have died like this.
