[Number of deaths:]
In the upper right corner of the live stream screen, there was a long and despairing list of death tolls.
And this number is increasing rapidly as [Ultimate] progresses.
This was simply something that [Ultimate] accidentally ran over while moving; there was no deliberate killing involved, just like accidentally stepping on a few ants while walking.
A satellite map was displayed on one half of the screen, with a red dot that was moving slowly standing out.
"This is the current location of [Ultimate] and its predicted roadmap."
As the satellite spoke, a scarlet line crossed Russia and reached the headquarters of the International Nightwalkers, outlining the path of the "Ultimate".
"Fortunately, this route does not pass through our Great Xia, so we will not have any problems for the time being."
[Satellite] tried to comfort everyone as if it were a joke, but no one present felt any joy.
Several more small yellow dots appeared on Russian territory.
"Our next task is for everyone to be divided into groups and proceed to the locations marked on the map, and then..."
"And then send them to their deaths?"
One of the men in the crowd could no longer hold back and asked a question in return.
Immediately, everyone's eyes fell on the man, including Han Xiaoxiao and the others from the special extermination team.
The man's forehead was covered in beads of sweat, and he was trembling uncontrollably.
"We're not going to our deaths, we're sacrificing ourselves for humanity," explained the satellite.
"Don't make it sound so nice, isn't that just sending them to their deaths?!"
The man roared in despair, his chest heaving violently as he stared at the holographic projection screen floating in the air.
"Tell us, how do we humans win? How are we supposed to fight that monster?!"
"He could destroy a legendary being with a wave of his hand; there's no way he could be killed!"
He suddenly waved his hand, sweat dripping down his face, his gaze sweeping over everyone present.
"Even if all of us ganged up on each other, one fart from the other side could wipe us all out!"
"Even if you gathered together every single person in human history who was capable of fighting, there would be absolutely no chance of killing the other side!"
"Even if ten [Godslayer] squads came, it would be the same!"
"Shut up!!!"
A furious shout suddenly rang out, and a powerful aura easily overwhelmed the man, causing him to kneel heavily on the ground.
With a calm gaze, Han Xiaoxiao glanced to the side and saw Gu Gongming, whose right side was empty, glaring angrily at the man.
The aura of 'starlight' surrounded him, causing his suit and the openwork right sleeve to flutter in the wind.
"Stop, we can't afford to fight amongst ourselves right now."
[Satellite] promptly blocked the exit, and Gu Gongming snorted coldly before concealing his aura.
"Ha ha……"
The man braced himself on the ground with both hands, breathing heavily, large drops of sweat falling to the ground.
"There's nothing we can do... but at least I don't want to die..."
He stood up shakily and walked unsteadily backward.
"What are you doing?" Gu Gongming's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly.
The man paused for a moment, then continued walking. "Being with the people I should be with is better than waiting to die!"
He pushed past one person after another, taking steps forward, one after another.
"dad!"
Suddenly, a little girl's sweet voice came from behind him, making the man tremble.
His eyes were filled with disbelief, and he stiffly turned his head back.
Floating in the air, a huge screen splits into another section, displaying a cute little face.
That's that man's daughter.
"Dad, where are you? Why is it so dark here?"
That innocent face looked around curiously.
For some reason, no one dared to meet the little girl's gaze; they all turned their heads away.
“Beibei wants Mommy to talk to Daddy too.” A woman’s face appeared on the screen, smiling and waving at the man.
"Honey, no matter how busy you are at work, remember to take a break. Don't forget to come home."
The man's Adam's apple bobbed repeatedly, and finally he managed to utter a difficult "Okay..."
"Dad, I learned so many things at kindergarten and made so many friends!"
That innocent face was projected onto the screen, while the screen next to it displayed the ever-increasing death toll.
Then several more projection screens appeared in the air, displaying relatives that everyone present could contact.
"Son, Mom misses you..."
"Dad, come back quickly! I recharged my phone with 200 yuan, and Mom is going to beat me to death!"
"Baby, I miss you so much, I want to marry you."
"Brother, are you tired? You look so dirty..."
"..."
Countless words of concern and conversations from relatives and friends gradually warmed this cold military base.
Everyone here, some laughing, some crying, some in a state of bewilderment, but what they all had in common was a touch of bitterness rising in their hearts.
After an unknown amount of time, the last relative hung up, and the screen at the scene was once again left with only the live broadcast and map of [Ultimate].
The green emoji stands between the two images.
"Dad, Mom, wife, husband, son, daughter, older brother, older sister, younger brother, younger sister, people you care about and people who care about you, people related to you, and people not related to you..."
"All of the people mentioned above will perish within approximately one day."
[Satellite] Although the tone was very cheerful, it sounded so cold.
"There is no absolutely predetermined ending in this world, although for many of you, your ending is very likely to be death."
"But it is the fate of each and every one of you that has led to a change in the fate of the people you know and the world as a whole."
"Night Stars, now, night has fallen."
"Please use your humble end to point the way for the whole world and light up the night sky."
"You will be the stars in the night!"
"Have you decided to take action?"
After saying this, [Satellite] fell silent and waited quietly for a reply.
The man below was panting heavily, his eyes tightly closed, as if he were recalling his life.
Finally, he raised his head and shouted at the top of his lungs.
"action!!!"
His words were like a fuse, igniting one person after another.
"action!!!"
"Light up the night!"
"Light up the night!"
A loud shout rang out within the military base, and Gu Gongming, Han Xiaoxiao, and the others standing in the center of the crowd nodded silently.
"Alright... Now, all Night Stars, please set off."
