From black technology to super engineering - #808 - Chapter 806 Sin in the Night
The dense atmosphere blocked everything after all.
Except for a very small amount of debris, only some scattered high-temperature-resistant materials fell on the ground.
Gloria quietly sat cross-legged on the high sentry tower, smelling the indescribably pleasant smell of fireworks that filled the air, and watched the meteors falling all over the sky.
Seeing that there was no more danger, her father stood beside her, looking up at the flames and light in the sky.
Gradually, more and more miners came out of the mine, and more and more people looked up to the sky.
The meteor shower kept falling.
From noon to evening, the entire residents of Lant City walked out of their rooms and took to the streets, looking up at the sky and watching this eternity.
Except for a very few people, the vast majority of people don’t know what is happening in the sky. Even after nightfall, when they see the light shining across the sky in the sea of stars, countless people begin to kneel on the ground and hold their hearts in their arms. Extreme panic and devout prayers for peace.
Time passed slowly minute by minute.
As night falls, the bolide gradually calms down.
There was no rest at night in Lant City.
Until someone discovered that the usually selfless robot soldiers and ubiquitous drones suddenly lost control and turned into scrap metal.
When the first person tried to seize the robot soldier’s weapon, the entire Lant City completely turned into a city that never sleeps.
…
The searchlights of the sentry were spread across the square, illuminating Hedolan’s generous figure.
“Older generations, brothers and sisters!”
“I know you are worried about the situation at home, but you also know what is going on in the city now. At this time, all money is external.”
Hedolan looked at the dark crowd with unprecedented determination on his face.
These people were all miners and their families in the mine where he worked. After making sure that the wreckage of the warships would not fall to the ground in the afternoon, he decisively summoned a few friends who recognized him as the Great Rishi to send the Huo Lan family to the mine. The person in charge was imprisoned and then took control of the entire mine.
At the same time, he followed his daughter’s instructions and asked everyone to go back and take all his wife, children, and children to the mining area.
“Please believe me, we just need to stay safely in the mining area and wait.”
The crowd was quiet for a few seconds, and suddenly a voice shouted: “Brother Hai, we believe you, but you must always tell us what happened in the sky.”
“Yeah, what happened?”
“Are the gods fighting?”
“I heard that the Gods have mobilized a lot of warships recently. They must be fighting!”
“Who are you fighting with?”
“It doesn’t matter who we are fighting with. What is important is that we have not completed the construction period. What if the Gods pursue us?”
As one person spoke, countless questions were thrown out.
Hedolan frowned. He subconsciously looked at where the searchlight came from – his daughter was still on the watchtower. He looked at the night sky that was gradually becoming calmer. After a few seconds of silence, he took a deep breath. .
Never reveal your daughter’s interactions with humans before meeting them.
“Do you think that even if the robots and drones are out of control, the gods…will come again?”
Hedolan pointed to the remains of the two robots and the two out-of-control drones ahead: “You don’t know the principles of these mechanical structures, but I know, and my daughter knows!”
As he spoke, Hedolan pointed to the sentry tower on the top of the mountain: “All robots are controlled by the temple above the sky!”
“You mean, the temple was destroyed?”
“I really want to answer you like this, but without final confirmation, we don’t have to do anything, don’t think about anything, we just need to quietly preserve ourselves.”
Hedolan clenched his right hand into a fist and raised it on his left chest: “If our Kra tribe is going to perish tomorrow, then… I will use my identity as the Great Rishi to ask you all today to let us wait for the dawn together.”
…
…
Gloria’s legs were numb, but she didn’t mind. She still stared closely at the telescope, looking at the base high in the sky.
Although the war in the sky was coming to an end, she could not tell who had won the final victory.
Throughout the shot, the wreckage of the spacecraft is floating everywhere.
These wreckage were like dead fish in the water, blocking her sight and casting a layer of dust on her hopes.
She knew that the control systems of robots and drones had been offline, but that didn’t mean…humanity had won the final victory – because in the sky full of artillery fire, it only took one main gun shot to hit the control center to completely paralyze these machines. mechanical.
“Gloria, take a rest and eat a piece of cake.”
The father’s voice sounded behind him, and Hedolan lovingly stroked his daughter’s hair with his big hands, almost forcefully moving her away from the telescope lens.
“dad……”
Gloria was a little dissatisfied, but when she saw her father’s anxious face, she still closed her eyes hard, took a long breath, and took the pancake that was held in her arms by her father.
Then she just wanted to get up and change her position, but found that her legs were no longer in control.
“My legs are numb…”
“Silly girl, you don’t even know how to move around.” Her father sat down on the cold roof, put Gloria’s legs on his own, and began to massage her knees.
Gloria turned sideways and looked towards the foot of the mountain.
At this time, people had begun to enter the mine to rest one after another according to their father’s instructions.
Gloria was silent for a few seconds and then looked at the eastern sky.
Just endless darkness.
“It’s almost dawn.”
“So you should go down and stay in the mine with us.” The father stared at his daughter with a serious expression: “The situation above is unknown now… but below…”
As he spoke, my father casually glanced at the brightly lit city in the distance.
Not only were the lights bright, but there were…fires reaching into the sky.
The cold night wind blew by, bringing with it the smell of smoke and the faint sound of crying and wailing.
Gloria pursed her lips hard, and a great sadness rose in her eyes.
Is this… my own clansman…
Are they…really worth it?
Hedolan understood the emotion in his daughter’s eyes. He sighed and said softly: “You don’t have to be sad. Our people have spent thousands of years in hesitation and slavery…”
Gloria stared stubbornly at the city where countless crimes were being born due to the collapse of order: “But it shouldn’t be unleashing such complete evil at this time – at least not to its own people.”
“Lily, haven’t you realized? We actually… no longer have the concept of clansman. Many people, even the vast majority of people, no longer know where we come from.” Hedolan looked at her deeply. City: “The Great Lisi, according to records, is the wisest Lisi among our Kra tribe, a wise man who is respected and loved by hundreds of millions of people…”
“But…what wisdom do I have? Who will love me?”
“dad……”
“So… go down with daddy, and then we’ll wait for dawn together, okay? Baby.”
Gloria withdrew her gaze from the city and glanced at the sky one last time. After a few seconds of silence, she finally nodded.
“……good.”
…
…
Base 31.
Like a dexterous big mullet, the Baiqi quickly shuttled through the wreckage-strewn airspace and stopped outside the base that had been targeted by the main guns of hundreds of warships.
Following the guidance of the landing troops who arrived first, a landing module slowly detached and then flew to the base landing bridge that was still intact so far.
Yang Wenzhi strode out of the landing cabin with Ming Sala, the deputy governor of the Silver Moon Fleet, Borali, the war chief of the Kra tribe, and several intelligence officers who were on board the ship.
The reason why there are only three of them is of course to ensure absolute safety and maintain the combat effectiveness of the fleet.
At this time, both sides of the entire passage were already filled with robot soldiers armed with live ammunition.
Two elite special operations soldiers trotted up to greet him. They stood at attention first, and then pulled down their helmets to expose themselves to the air.
“General, we have now completed the control of the entire base, and the air test has also been completed, and it meets the exposure breathing conditions.”
“Take a break, you have worked hard.”
Yang Wenzhi took off his helmet and looked around again: “Are you sure the enemy only has two people left?”
“Definitely, but there are many… waiters from the Kra tribe left behind.” One of the soldiers glanced at Borali and immediately said: “We have gathered all the waiters in the hall now. Their emotions are quite unstable. I also hope that General Borali can comfort him…”
Bolali immediately stepped forward and said in a deep voice: “Take me there!”
After a pause, Bolali looked at the intelligence officers behind Yang Wenzhi: “Do I want to inquire…”
The leading intelligence officer immediately shook his head: “No need for the time being. We cannot expose information until we figure out the situation.”
“Okay, I’ll trouble you a few more.”
Seeing Borali striding away with the special forces soldiers, and almost trotting in the end… Yang Wenzhi let out a long breath.
Next to her, Ming Sa Yang seemed to understand Yang Wenzhi’s mood. She, who had always been serious about words and expressions, smiled slightly: “Fortunately, I did not live up to General Hai’s last wish.”
“Yes.” Yang Wenzhi’s mood only agitated for a moment, and then he immediately calmed down and began to walk towards the long passage under the leadership of another soldier.
At the end of the passage, the door was wide open. Machine warriors and special operations soldiers stood in two rows, guarding the two people in the room.
——These two people are the only Imperial people left.
…
Hall completely laid his body flat on the phase change chair. His expression showed no sadness or anger. On the contrary… there was only endless peace.
In contrast, Dika, who was lying next to him, had a hint of anxiety, anger, and tension that could not be concealed – of course, on the surface, he was also very calm.
“Dika, I really didn’t expect you to stay.” Hall glanced at Dika, closed his eyes and said softly: “Can I ask why?”
“If I say that my conscience shows up and I want to accompany you as a prisoner, would you believe me?”
“I do not believe.”
“Well, I don’t believe it either – although there is indeed a little bit of it.” Dika regarded the mechanical warriors in the room as nothing and stared at the door with a hint of bitterness on the corner of his mouth: “Human events started with me, naturally… …It’s also up to me.”
Hall turned his head and stared at Dika, and after a few seconds of silence, he let out a long sigh.
He knew that this time the legion suffered a huge defeat and Base 31 fell… No matter how powerful and connected he was… it would be of no use.
And tracing back to the source, Dika, the first person responsible for the human incident… naturally cannot escape.
It’s just…he stayed because he had a lot of questions he wanted to ask humans.
If he can’t get the answer, he will die in peace.
What about Dika?
Perhaps…Dika saw Crozier’s life in the human world…and felt that such a life of imprisonment was easier to accept than being imprisoned in the empire.
Well…it’s always good to have a buddy by your side.
The footsteps got closer and closer, and soon, a group of people appeared at the door.
Golden stars shone on the shoulders of the leading human. When he approached, all the machine warriors saluted in unison.
Hall slowly straightened up under the support of the phase change chair and stared at the other party.
“What’s your name?” Hall stood up straight and asked in Imperial dialect.
“Yang Wenzhi, commander-in-chief of the first group army of this super galaxy group.”
“Hall, chief commander of the 31st Execution Base of the Holy Empire Execution Corps.”
“Dika, deputy commander of Execution Base No. 31 of the Holy Empire Execution Corps”
The robot warrior on the side translated the languages on both sides in an emotionless tone.
Yang Wenzhi tilted his head slightly and stared at the other person from a distance of about three meters – the other person was a head taller than him, and his momentum was really at a disadvantage when he got closer.
“Can I understand that in your civilization, as a commander in a war zone, you also have the responsibility to defend the territory and not retreat?”
“You can think so.”
“Very good, then, please cooperate with us in taking over the work.” Yang Wenzhi listened to the reports coming from the earphones and smiled slightly: “First of all, please answer a few questions for me.”
“Please say.”
“Have you handed over all weapons capable of attacking this system?”
Hall listened to the words of the robot translator, and a touch of ridicule rose at the corner of his mouth: “Are you worried that I will launch a suicide attack on you?”
“Yes.” Yang Wenzhi smiled and nodded calmly.
Hall took a breath, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his tone became indifferent: “The Legion’s mission at Base 31 has failed. As an advanced civilization, accepting failure calmly is the most basic quality.”
“Very good.” Yang Wenzhi nodded slowly: “Second question, do you have armed forces deployed on the ground of Ella? Can you still launch attacks on the local indigenous people?”
“There are mechanical soldiers and small unmanned aerial combat equipment deployed, but the self-destruction program was initiated two hours ago.”
“Very good. The third question…”
Yang Wenzhi paused and looked back at the CNY special official behind him.
The intelligence department official’s name was Li Liang, and he had been responsible for liaison with Gloria before. At this time, he came in person for the sake of Gloria’s safety.
Li Liang understood and asked in a deep voice: “Where does the great priest of the Kra tribe live?”
Hall’s eyes narrowed slightly. He quickly sorted out the information and previous questions in his mind, and immediately judged that humans… probably had the mission of “rescuing” the sin descendants of the Kra tribe this time.
Thinking of this, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
“There are so many sin-born maids in the hall. You can just catch any one and ask them. How do I know about the Grand Priest?”
Li Liang frowned slightly, but did not continue to ask, but turned and left.
Yang Wenzhi slowly put his hands behind his back, and his eyes fell on Hall and Dika.
These two people didn’t seem to have the consciousness of being descendants.
On the contrary… he was very calm.
This made him feel an inexplicable absurdity from the bottom of his heart.
This makes…why does he look like a villain?
“Last question, why do you stay when you can obviously leave?”
“Because I have many, many questions…” Hall looked directly at Yang Wenzhi and said slowly and word by word: “I want to see your chief scientist.”
Yang Wenzhi looked at the other party, and a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Why does everyone in the empire want to see Ye Ming?
Are these people here to seek enlightenment?
…
Ella star.
The rising sun disperses the mist and spreads a little light into the mine through the hole.
There was a noise outside the mine, which woke up Gloria who was sleeping in the cave.
She opened her eyes and saw only a little light at the entrance of the cave and the backs of a group of people.
Of course, there is also the mother’s anxious face.
“Mom, what’s going on outside?” Gloria closed her eyes hard to drive away her sleepiness.
“No…nothing…just sleep for a while.”
“It’s daybreak, why are you still sleeping…” Gloria stood up and looked around. Under the dim mine light, all the old, young, women and children who stayed in the cave had nervous expressions on their faces.
She was slightly startled and immediately asked: “What happened?”
“Gloria… A gang of thugs came from outside, saying they wanted to take over the mine, and they also…”
“What?” Gloria immediately jumped up and strode towards the entrance of the cave.
Then, she heard a clamoring voice outside the cave shouting: “Hai Duolan, I’m warning you, don’t use your status as the Great Ceremony to oppress others. What age are you still the Great Ceremony? I’m telling you, Things have changed above! The new adults are coming soon, and they have specified that various factories and mines must be protected. You guys, the lackeys of the empire, still want to work for your old masters? “
“Also, hand over Gloria!”
Hedolan roared angrily: “Dicklin, you bastard! Who the hell doesn’t know that your Wanghai family is willing to send their daughters up in order to occupy the mining area?”
“My daughter is dead! Where is your daughter? She became the bastard of the empire’s prophet!”
Hedolan was shaking with rage.
Everyone knows that the Wanghai family went to great lengths to curry favor with the executive above them. They took the initiative to send their daughter there without telling them, and even let her hook up with the executive… and ended up dying inexplicably, but they didn’t even dare to fart. !
Now, when the world is in chaos, this Dicklin actually beats him up…
At this time, the voice outside shouted again: “Brothers in the mine, let me show you the leaflets issued by the new master. I hope that everyone will not be stubborn, don’t listen to Hedolan’s demonic words to confuse the people, and join the new master as soon as possible. , there will be great benefits waiting for everyone in the future!”
After talking for a few minutes, he crumpled the flyer into a ball and threw it in.
Gloria took a leaflet and read it carefully.
This is a leaflet written in both Imperial and current Craven.
As Dicklin said outside, the content of the flyer is very simple. It means that the combined fleet of this super galaxy group has defeated the imperial fleet and completely recovered the planet Aila. All residents below are asked to protect the factories and mining areas in various places, maintain normal life order, and wait for the coalition ground troops to take over. At the same time, they must also be alert to the remnants of the empire to launch sabotage and counterattacks.
The content of the flyer quickly spread throughout the mine. For a while, the miners guarding the door hesitated, and several people glanced at Gloria.
Hedolan clenched his fists and breathed heavily: “Dicklin, stop talking here and misleading the public!”
“Am I misleading people with my lies? Do you think I printed these flyers? They were dropped by several Iron Bird planes today, and they are all over the floor!”
“Brother miners, I have read the leaflet to you and explained the truth to you. If you still want to follow Hedolan and his daughter, the imperial lackeys… Then don’t blame the brothers for being rude – aim!”
As Dicklin’s voice fell, the tribesmen in the row in front of him who had snatched the machine soldiers’ firearms last night began to raise their weapons.
Although Hedolan and Kedar each have a gun in their hands, the guns on the opposite side…are obviously much more…
Facing the dark muzzle of the gun, the crowd at the entrance of the cave began to shrink back and turn around.
Gloria slowly closed her eyes. After a moment, she took a deep breath and strode out of the crowd.
“Gloria!” my father shouted.
Gloria glanced at the rising sun on the horizon, but her eyes were stung. After waiting for a few seconds, she narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the square.
On the square, the leader was Dicklin, the current patriarch of the Wanghai family – this man was about fifty years old, with a long face, deep-set eye sockets, and a face full of hypocrisy.
Behind Dicklin, there were more than forty members of the Wanghai family and a group of lackeys who were attached to them.
Each of these people holds a variety of weapons in their hands.
There are firearms obtained from paralyzed robots, as well as homemade muskets. Of course, there are more bright and shiny knives.
Many of them had blood splattered on their bodies, and their faces were extremely excited, as if a great wealth was about to come.
“Dad, it’s okay.” Gloria stood in the morning sun, turned back and smiled at her father: “Put down the gun first.”
“them……”
“Dad, listen to me, put down the gun.” Gloria looked at the miners beside her father – only a few of them showed expressions of concern for her, and most of them wanted to hand her over as soon as possible. appearance.
After sighing secretly in her heart, Gloria took a step forward.
She knew that Dicklin and his gang apparently… committed countless crimes last night.
If things don’t go their way today, who knows what these red-eyed demons can do? I’m afraid I would kill all the people in their mine… right?
Seeing Gloria slowly walking out, a sinister smile appeared on Dicklin’s face.
The reason why he came to the mining factory early in the morning was not only to seize the mine as a gift to the new ruler, but also because… Hedolan’s family was hiding here.
Gloria went to the temple with his beloved daughter Helena, but her daughter died mysteriously… Gloria became a student of the prophet.
Every time he thought of this, endless pain and grievance arose in his heart. Why? !
But now…the sacrifice of his daughter is just enough to gain the trust of the new master! It can be regarded as a hit-and-run, and it is destined that the Wanghai family will rise again. (See Chapter 634 and Chapter 700 for previous information)
Gloria stood in the sun and looked at Dicklin’s crazy expression. She felt no fear, only a feeling of disgust from the bottom of her heart.
Then…she felt that the sunlight seemed to disappear from her body.
A shadow quickly enlarged, and in just a moment, a spaceship appeared in the sky, and then appeared in everyone’s eyes.
The outline of the spaceship grew larger and clearer.
It is different from all Imperial ships…
Looking at the spaceship, Dicklin was overjoyed and waved his hand: “Tied!”
The two disciples of the Wanghai family quickly took out the rope and pulled it towards Gloria, who was looking up at the spaceship, with a hideous smile.
Then…without any warning, two rays of light fell from the sky.
A bloody hole appeared between the eyebrows of the two disciples, and then they fell to the ground.
Dicklin’s expression froze instantly.
In the sky, the spaceship descended slowly, and the sound of the shipboard radio resounded throughout the earth.
“Warning, everyone put down their weapons. All adverse actions against Gloria will be regarded as attacks and will be shot to death unconditionally.”
“Repeat, everyone put down their weapons…”
