MTL - The First Order-Chapter 1258 The darkest moment (the finale)
The last day.
178 in the fortress.
All the residents stayed by the radio, wanting to hear the current state of the battle.
If there is no radio in the house, the whole family went to the neighbor's house together, and we waited for the news that was interrupted from time to time.
The male announcer has a nice voice, but the news on the radio always brings bad news.
The troops of the Northwest Army were killed in reorganization. Sometimes everyone fell into infinite silence as they listened. Sometimes they heard a piece of news saying which troops were killed collectively, and there was earth-shaking wailing on the radio.
Because their family members may be among the dead troops.
The streets of Fort 178 were silent.
After an autumn rain, the weather gradually became a bit colder, and everyone couldn't help but shrink their necks when they walked on the road.
Qing Zhen glanced at his watch at the residence, only 12 hours were left before the countdown.
He put on his white suit, and then said to Luo Lan, Zhou Qi, and Xu Man: "Let's go, it's up to us to do something. Don't let down the hope of the Northwest Army."
After speaking, he turned around and left the residence. Vehicles of the Northwest Army were already waiting at the door.
After the four people got on the car, the car drove straight to a quarry west of the fortress.
I don't know when this quarry has been under martial law, surrounded by soldiers wearing quarry uniforms, quietly vigilant.
Xu Xianchu waited outside the gate of the quarry. After he received Qingzhen, he turned and led the people inside without a word.
Inside the factory, a woman in a red dress had been waiting there early. She was the person who negotiated with Zhang Jinglin on behalf of Qingzheng and the executor of the entire plan.
At this time, there is no mechanical equipment used to blow mountains and quarry rocks in the quarry's workshop. Although it looks simple on the outside, it is extremely technological inside.
You need to change into white dust-free clothes to enter the factory, and inside are a large number of precision instruments, and there are 1,374 busy scientific researchers.
Qing Zhen asked the woman in the red dress next to her in a dust-proof suit, "Everything is ready?"
The woman in the red dress nodded: "Everything is ready."
Xu Xianchu asked Qingzhen: "You said there might be a missile attack here, so I came to guard this place, but I saw that there was no missile attack."
Qing Zhen shook his head and said in a puzzled manner: "If you calculate the range of the Wang missile unit, this place should already be within range, and the artificial intelligence should be able to analyze that there is an abnormality here. There is no reason not to bomb this place. I am not sure about the specifics. Something happened, but someone must have worked hard to help us."
Luo Lan thought for a while and said, "Can our plan really come true?"
"Success or failure depends on whether Ren Xiaosu can survive these 12 hours," Qingzhen said: "If you can't make it, all previous efforts will be wasted."
"Do you think he can survive until then?" Zhou Qi asked.
Luo Lan shook his head: "I'm not sure, but he has never let me down."
For this day, Southwest also paid a huge price.
Some people died on the Sanshan Defense Line, such as Qingyi.
Someone died to deliver news, such as Tang Zhou.
But there are still too many unnamed pawns who died for the same goal and hope.
They used to accompany Qingzhen on the Ginkgo Mountain together to see the ginkgo trees on the mountainside being stained. They went to death for Qing's glory.
In addition to the war, there are 1,374 researchers from Qing's working in an absolutely confidential state. No one knows what they are working on, not even their family members.
Qingzhen feels that if the plan fails, no one really knows the efforts these people have made.
So they cannot fail.
...
On the evacuation path.
"The artificial intelligence southwest force did not stop us," P5092 was a little puzzled. According to his time calculation, in fact, at this time, they should almost meet the enemy in the way.
However, at this moment, they were still empty in front of them, and there was no personal shadow.
Someone must have stopped the enemy army in the south, but P5092 can't figure out, who has the ability to block the nearly tens of millions of artificial intelligence troops?
At this time, Ren Xiaosu suddenly reacted: "If someone really blocks the two southwestern troops at zero, then all the impossible assistance is eliminated, and the only thing left is Li Shentan."
What Ren Xiaosu did was the method of elimination, because it is possible that only Li Shentan would appear and help the people in the northwest at this time.
When all the impossible is eliminated, then the only option left is the truth.
Before nonsense, he said that Li Shentan had done what he promised Ren Xiaosu.
What did Li Shentan promise? Li Shentan promised Ren Xiaosu that he would use the devil's salvation in exchange for Chen Wudi's return.
Therefore, Ren Xiaosu suddenly had enlightenment in his heart, his apprentice Chen Wudi may have returned!
When he thought of this, he felt a little excited in his heart, but suddenly Ren Xiaosu felt sad again, because he knew very well what the devil's redemption meant.
When talking nonsense before, when talking about Li Shentan, there was some loneliness in his expression. I wanted to talk nonsense and I knew the answer.
"Another friend has left," Ren Xiaosu said suddenly.
At this time, a soldier suddenly shouted in front of him: "It's fortress 178!"
Ren Xiaosu turned his head and looked forward, and suddenly saw the shadow of the towering fortress in the distance, so familiar and so kind.
The wide city wall is like a giant's solid back, making people feel safe from a distance.
Although everyone knows that now I just saw the fortress, if we continue to retreat, it will take at least six hours to get there.
Because fortress 178 is too lofty and tall, when its outline appears in the field of vision, there is still a long way to go between each other.
But no matter what, seeing Fort 178 means seeing hope.
But before the soldiers had time to be happy, news suddenly came from the rear troops that the enemy's mechanized units had appeared on the horizon, and the enemy's infantry and land units might soon be catching up.
When the news came, Ren Xiaosu looked around and suddenly found a little despair in the eyes of many people.
Obviously, it only needs to be delayed for nine days, but this last day seems to be a failure.
Everyone knows that it is impossible for them to stop the enemy in this plain terrain, because there are too many opponents.
Only one day or half a day away, they may be able to win the final victory.
Although everyone doesn't know what kind of plan Qingzhen and Zhang Commander have, since Commander Zhang said that he believes in Qingzhen, it shows that this plan is feasible.
However, it seems that everyone can't wait for that moment.
Ren Xiaosu stood silently among the crowd, watching the fading hope in everyone's hearts, and suddenly wanted to do something.
This war was fought too hard.
On the Sanshan Defense Line, the Qing's troops were killed in the reorganization system, but before their deaths, the Qing soldiers were thinking about how to pull a few more enemies back. They won the most critical data and time for the Northwest Dawn Defense Line.
The soldiers of the Sixth Field Division guerrillas behind the enemy in order to buy two more days for the Dawn Line of Defense.
The soldiers on the first echelon and the second echelon on the dawn defense line died one after another, even injured and unwilling to retreat with the first army.
Everyone is just a glimmer of hope for the final victory, but seeing this hope is also gone.
He must do something.
He must do something.
He wants to defend this hard-won hope.
P5092 said: "Wang Yun, help me convey the order. All the First Army will stop advancing and look for bunkers on the spot to prepare for battle! Commander Zhang, Ren Xiaosu, you will move on with the wounded, and I will stay and lead them to fight a defensive battle!"
"You will die if you stay and fight the fight," Wang Yun said seriously.
P5092 smiled: "So what?"
"No need," Yan Liuyuan, who was sitting on the back of the Wolf King, jumped down and laughed: "You continue to retreat and leave the rest to me."
Everyone was taken aback for a moment, and everyone didn't expect Yan Liuyuan to say this suddenly.
Yan Liuyuan said with a smile, "Why, don't you believe me, I am also a transcendent at the level of a demigod."
Sister Xiaoyu on the side grabbed Yan Liuyuan's arm nervously: "Liuyuan, you can no longer use your abilities, you really can't use it anymore, otherwise you will die."
Yan Liuyuan looked at Sister Xiaoyu silently, but sighed. The one he couldn't let go of was Sister Xiaoyu. In his heart, Li Xiaoyu had long been his sister.
As a result, at this moment, the Wolf King suddenly looked up to the sky and roared.
In the next moment, the Wolf King turned to meet the enemy, while the pack of wolves slowly followed behind him.
Yan Liuyuan yelled twice, but the wolf king never looked back.
I saw the silver wolves running, faster and faster, their hair moving in the wind, looking extremely bright.
P5092 calmly said: "Continue to evacuate, don't stay!"
Suddenly, Ren Xiaosu summoned a steam train and drove to Fort 178 alone at full speed.
The soldiers of the first group were stunned. What was the situation? How could the marshal walk alone when he heard that there was an enemy in the rear? Is it running away or something else?
I saw the steam train whizzing away with a huge gust of wind on the wilderness.
No one knew what Ren Xiaosu was going to do.
Wang Fengyuan looked at the steam train leaving, he looked at Zhang Jinglin in surprise: "Commander, this..."
Zhang Jinglin shook his head: "I don't know what he is going to do."
On the way to continue the retreat, there was a lot of discussion in the First Army, and everyone was speculating why the marshal left alone.
Some people speculate that the marshal has other plans, but there is no reinforcement on the 178 fortress. What can the marshal do even if he arrives at the 178 fortress.
As the steam train was running at full speed, it was getting closer and closer to Fort 178. When the guards on the walls of Fort 178 saw the train, they hurriedly shouted: "You are the marshal, quickly open the gate!"
The gate opened slowly, but Ren Xiaosu's steam train did not stop, and directly shuttled past the city gate to the Tongzhong Square.
It happened that it was exactly 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The bronze bell on the Bronze Bell Square was rang three times, and the bell sounded melodiously.
The residents of Fort 178 took the initiative to get out of the street when they saw the steam train. They saw the young marshal sitting alone on the front of the train, with a grim expression.
"It's the marshal, why did you come back suddenly?"
"The direction of this steam train is Tongzhong Square. What does the young commander do to Tongzhong Square?"
However, seeing the steam train stop abruptly in front of the Tongzhong Square, more and more residents who did not know the truth chased them out of curiosity. More and more people gathered outside the Tongzhong Square. Ren Xiaosu jumped off the steam train. The stride came before the bronze bell.
Ren Xiaosu looked at the bronze bell and said, "You asked me how old I was before. I said I was more than two hundred years old. In fact, I was not joking. You may not believe me. I am really more than two hundred years old this year."
"I am Experiment No. 001. I slept because of cancer and genetic mutation more than two hundred years ago. My father is the founder of Cavaliers, Ren He. Therefore, I am older than all of you."
"I have seen the most glorious era of human civilization. Almost everyone has a meal. People on the land of Kyushu live and work in peace and contentment, enjoying a new era."
"At that time, the Internet and technology were developed, and everything seems to be better than it is now."
"In this era, many people can't even eat a full bite. TVs don’t have LCDs. Most people’s entertainment life is to listen to the radio with the radio. The so-called rich people’s lives are not worth mentioning to me, everyone. I have never been farther away. At that time, it took only more than ten hours from one end of the world to the other."
"I once said don't let the sorrow of the times become your sorrow, it is because I feel that this era has completely decayed."
"However, when I saw everyone dying for that glimmer of hope, I suddenly realized that in fact, this era is not that bad. In absolute darkness, there is really new light."
"I don’t have much ambitions. I used to think that I had a small family. I didn’t want to be the commander of the Northwest Army. I don’t want to be the commander of the Northwest Army in the future. I always feel that it’s just me. It’s for the commander."
"But if someone wants to take away this last ray of hope, then I want to ask... More than 200,000 human pioneers under this bronze bell, are you willing to become heroes and kill them with me?"
"Although it is a bit unfair to you to be a heroic spirit, after all, you have already paid so much for the Northwest, but now you have to become a vassal of others. Moreover, once you become a heroic spirit, you have the possibility of death again, and then it will be eternal silence. It’s not even a newspaper."
According to Luo Lan, the heroic spirit is not immortal, and will dissipate once it has suffered more than the tolerance limit.
This is also the reason why Ren Xiaosu and Luo Lan have always restrained this ability.
However, Ren Xiaosu continued: "But, I really want to show artificial intelligence what is the pride of mankind."
Ren Xiaosu stood alone on the Bronze Bell Square and waited silently, waiting for a response of 270,000.
At this time, the residents outside Tongzhong Square also looked at Ren Xiaosu in surprise.
They didn't know what happened, only that the young marshal entered the 178 fortress and suddenly ran to the Tongzhong Square and said a lot of words inexplicably.
Far away, they don't even know what Ren Xiaosu said.
The residents of Fort 178 don't know what Ren Xiaosu is doing.
However, at the next moment, a voice suddenly sounded in the center of the Bronze Bell Square: "We are willing to go."
"The responsibility lies in it."
"We have already been waiting for this moment."
This is no longer a voice that only Ren Xiaosu can hear, but everyone can hear it.
A golden figure came out from the center. It was Commander Li, the most prestigious among the 270,000 heroes.
Then the second, third, thousandth, ten thousandth, ten thousandth...
Ren Xiaosu originally thought that he could summon ten thousand heroic spirits as the limit, but he himself did not expect that his limit is no limit.
More and more golden heroic spirits walked out of the bronze bell square, like a golden sea.
Gradually, the Bronze Bell Square couldn't accommodate at all, and a huge number of heroes crowded the residents into the next street.
The residents didn't know what happened, nor did they know where these golden figures came from.
Suddenly, a young heroic spirit said to a woman about 30 years old: "囡囡......"
The woman stared blankly at the young soldier in front of her, who looked extra handsome in the Northwest Army's standard uniform. She had seen this heroic father in the photo more than once.
17 years ago, when she was about to go to school, her father stuffed her with a candy and told her to go far away.
As a result, the other party has left for 17 years and has never returned.
She hated each other when she was young, but she didn't hate it when she grew up, because her lover was also a soldier in the Northwest.
Looking at the familiar and unfamiliar face in front of her, tears burst into her eyes. She finally knew what was happening at this moment.
On the other side, a middle-aged man in his forties looked at a young hero in front of him, and asked with some confusion: "Fang Yuan?"
The hero named Fang Yuan suddenly turned his head to look at him, and after half a minute of recognizing it, he asked, "Lin Ke?"
In his 40s, Lin Ke burst into tears suddenly: "You are alive. I have been dreaming every day for the past seventeen years. I dreamed that I was not transferred from the post on the day the war started. I dreamed that I would fight with you. dead!"
Fang Yuan grinned and said, "Then you are so miserable."
Gradually, everyone understood.
The young marshal in the center of the Bronze Bell Square is resurrecting all the martyrs of the Northwest Army!
"The pioneer heroes of the Northwest Army are all resurrected."
"Martyrs, follow the young marshal to rescue Fort 178!"
Huge cheers erupted outside the Bronze Bell Square. Almost everyone in the cheers had only one expression, and tears filled their eyes with extreme excitement.
Those martyrs who had thrown their heads for the northwest, all came alive.
Ren Xiaosu felt that the blood in his body seemed to be burning again and began to boil.
He turned and walked outside the 178 fortress, and all the golden heroes followed behind him.
A heroic spirit shouted to the residents behind: "Is there any Liu Xu who knows Wei Zilu? Tell him that he is alive and is going to fight the enemy."
And the heroic spirit murmured: "I thought this kid was easy to handle, but turned out to be an old monster more than two hundred years old. He really recognized an ancestor!"
"Then we are now heroic spirits. After the battle is over, can we beat him up? This guy didn't disgust us less before..."
"Yes, don't forget about this!"
Ren Xiaosu didn't listen to what the heroic spirits behind him said, his pace became faster and faster until he started to run.
The golden torrent followed him, killing all the way to the outside of the city, facing the direction of the enemy, and launched a charge from a distance.
This is the first time that Ren Xiaosu has used the power of the Hall of Heroes, and for the first time he has his own heroes. Although Luo Lan's heroic spirit has increased in physical fitness, the increase is actually very limited, only about 1.5 times the original. After all, Luo Lan My strength is really not very good.
But Ren Xiaosu was different, he himself was much stronger than Luo Lan.
The heroic spirits felt their new bodies. They only felt that they were full of power. This was a powerful experience they had never had before. Almost everyone's power had tripled.
This is a T3 unit with a number of 270,000, and all of them are the most brave fighters in the history of the Northwest Army.
Ren Xiaosu rushed to the front of the golden torrent, looking down from the sky, the golden torrent behind him was so magnificent and magnificent.
Murderous.
