 “Ahhhh!

"

With a series of teeth-piercing crisp sounds, the roaring chain saw cut the battle ax in the mutant champion's hand, and also cut the steel bulletproof armor on its chest. (Due to caching reasons, please direct the browser to the browser.

After receiving a solid blow to his chest, the mutant champion let out a roar of pain, and a trace of panic gradually appeared on his bloodshot hole.

It used all its strength to beat the iron knot in front of it with the broken battle ax in its hand, trying to knock it out, but it still couldn't stop the chain saw from cutting open the chest, and could only look at its own flesh and blood.

It was thrown into the sky by the high-speed rolling saw blade.

"Roar--"

The roaring voice gradually weakened, and the strength of the struggle became smaller and smaller.

It seemed that it couldn't bear the huge pain, and it finally fell on the player like a rag.

Pushing away the fallen mutant champion, the player wearing the exoskeleton gasped and glanced around the battlefield.

I could see no mutants still standing on the smoke-filled ruins.

The one that fell in front of him seemed to be the last one!

A trace of excitement appeared on his blood-stained face. He struggled to pull the chain saw out of the mutant's chest and swung it into the air, scattering the minced meat and plasma on the place where he had fought before.

it's over!

This battle in heaven!

"victory--!"

Looking up at the dark cloud-covered sky, he let out a heartfelt cry.

Someone quickly responded to him, and shouts of victory resounded throughout the battlefield.

"victory!

!”

“Long live the managers!

!”

"Long live the Alliance!

!”

“Ouch!

!”

The continuous sound gradually floated into the distance, even dispersed the dark clouds in the sky, and floated onto the deck of the Heart of Steel...

Chu Guang, who was standing in the airship bridge, finally had a sincere smile on his expressionless face.

"it is finally over."



Things developed exactly as Vanus said. The battle to end the Torch Church came to an end before dusk fell on the top of Mount Luosong.

A soldier wearing an "iron wall" exoskeleton planted the alliance's flag at the highest point of the entire battlefield.

As the last apostle and mutant fell, the last bionic chip carrying the temple also stopped running, and melted into the soil along with the brains and blood.

From now on, there will no longer be those forerunners who pretend to be gods and ghosts, dictating to people on the ground from a high position.

Their evil deeds and twisted ideals were burned to ashes in the sparks of fire ignited in the wasteland.

Later that day, Chu Guang, as the Marshal of the Alliance Alliance, gave a speech on the bridge of the Heart of Steel.

"...Today is destined to be a great day, and our history will remember this day forever."

"In the past six months, our troops have crossed the grasslands, climbed over the hills, and even crossed the ocean, going deep into the most vicious hells and fighting against the ugliest and most savage monsters..."

"Now all the blood and sweat we have paid for justice has finally paid off. We have finally driven the evil torch out of the ground beneath our feet!"

"We have used our actions to prove our bravery and our invincibility!"

"Cheer for this moment! Celebrate it!"

"For those who are saved!"

"For this hard-won victory——"

"And our union!"

The deafening sound echoed in the bridge, and was broadcast through the radio to the entire alliance and all the coalition forces of the Adhesive Community.

On this occasion of celebration, almost all televisions and radios are playing the same content.

At the Weifu City military base, cheers of victory echoed one after another in the camp.

People turned on all the lights in the base, lighting up the entire sky and expressing their joy.

The wounded who were resting in the hospital even pulled out the needles on their bodies, ran out of the ward, and hugged excitedly with other celebrating comrades.

Whether they are residents from Ideal City or people from Willant from Triumph City.

No matter what their identity is or where they come from, people are cheering for the same joy at this moment.

In a tavern near the military base, the boys from the 100th Mountain Division wanted to tear the roof off.

After staying on the battlefield for such a long time and having seen many lives and deaths, their mentality is already different from that of half a year ago. How warlike they were before, they are now homesick.

Using the wine bottle in his hand as a microphone, Tang Feng excitedly jumped onto the wine table and shouted loudly to the booing brothers.

"Praise the managers! Praise the Alliance! Praise the ruthless people of the Stormtroopers! This damn war is finally over!"

Ideal City’s bars, nightclubs, and the most missed one, Duandianyun!

Everything is coming back!

At this moment, his heart was extremely excited, and his excitement seemed to have wings.

He vowed that after he returned as a war hero, he would take a good rest, such as bragging on Endpoint Cloud for a whole week!

Of course, the most important thing is that he has to bring back Kunpai, which is popular on the front line!

It would be a shame not to share such an interesting game with everyone!

Their commanders have already said in the military camp that when the "Orca" transport plane lands at the airport of the military base tomorrow, they will be able to get on the flight home immediately and leave this damn ghost place.

Seeing Tang Feng dancing excitedly, Adem from the Hound Special Forces also had a heartfelt smile on his face, raised his glass and touched it with him.

"Congratulations! You can finally go home!"

To be honest, these guys don't look like they are here to fight, but more like they are here for an outing.

But now that the battle is finally over, it should be a relief for them.

Xin Ran clinked the wine glass handed to him, Tang Feng drank the wine in the glass, then burped and said with a drunken smile.

"Hahaha, we are all happy! Not just us, you can also go home!"

Adem smiled when he heard this, with a hint of sadness in his eyes.

"We? I'm afraid we can't be that fast...and even if we go back, I'm afraid there will be new jobs waiting for us."

The Hound Special Forces is a for-profit organization and does not raise idlers.

As long as the wasteland exists, they will have endless work to do.

What's more, he still has a loan to repay.

Perhaps, in fact, he did not want the war to end just like Mr. Sigma sitting in the Firestone Group building.

If the war is really over, he who originally lived a decent life may really have to sleep on the streets and beg for food...

The sound of drinking and drinking can be heard endlessly in the Weifu City tavern, and the same is true on the Legion's Loyal airship.

Liam, who was standing by the porthole, tasted the wine in the goblet in his hand and looked at the south with his eyes narrowed into two crescent moons.

"...These disgusting cockroaches are finally dead."

Although the battle on Shifeng Mountain was just a small episode in the entire war, he still did not forget the humiliation he had suffered on that mountain.

I really don’t understand what those eastward expansionists think, and they actually make peace with these disgusting things...

But there is one thing to say, the Torch Church does have some skills in biotechnology.

It would be great if we could combine the technology of regenerating severed limbs with the ability to grow clones eight times faster.

In this way, the legion will be able to create a true undead legion!

Their footsteps will make the entire continent tremble!

Standing next to General Liam, Captain Magdalen sighed softly, but his eyes were rather regretful.

"...It's a pity that the research institutes we occupied are all stocked with scraps. I heard that the truly valuable technologies are all kept in a place called Vault 20."

"Shelter No. 20..." Liam narrowed his eyes slightly, not knowing what he was thinking in his eyes.

After glancing at General Liam, Captain Magdalen continued in a very soft voice.

"I suspect that the Alliance and Enterprise have secretly controlled this shelter, otherwise they would not be so sure that the war is over... But unfortunately, we have no evidence, and even if we point it out, they will deny it."

In fact, not only the alliance and enterprises, but also the silent academy, and even the legion itself, are actually recruiting the research team of the Torch Church behind the scenes.

This is a tacit agreement reached by both sides at the beginning of the war. Whoever occupies the occupied areas in Haiya Province will be in charge of it. Unless the actual controller voluntarily withdraws, other people are not allowed to intervene.

The benefits of this are obvious. In order to increase the bargaining chips in their hands, armies from all walks of life have shown their true skills on the battlefield, instead of waiting for the friendly forces to exert their strength in the front while they themselves take advantage of the situation behind.

However, now that the war is over and it's time to divide the spoils, the situation has changed again.

Nowadays, other parties in the Sticky Community are no longer just friendly forces to the legion, but have gradually become competitors.

After listening to Modlin's suggestive words, General Liam just laughed softly, looking like he didn't take it seriously.

"Evidence? Do you need that thing?"

This is a battlefield, not a courtroom.

Now that the big trouble of the Torch Church has finally been resolved, it's time for them to settle old scores with the Alliance.

After pausing for a moment to think, Liam placed the wine glass on the sill of the porthole, looked at the adjutant standing aside, and said in a calm tone.

"You will contact Captain Benoit who is in Dawn City later."

"Tell him for me that the civil service group has reaped so many benefits from behind, and it's time for them to do something more."

The adjutant standing next to him stood at attention, made a military salute, and said with a serious expression.

"yes!"



The news of victory was like being given wings, and quickly spread throughout the entire army of the Sticky Community.

And just as everyone was celebrating and toasting this hard-won victory, an invisible undercurrent was restlessly stirring under the calm water.

Hidden dangers that threaten peace not only come from within the Sticky Community, but also come from far away 1.5 million kilometers away.

In order to understand the situation of the Lagrange point, Chu Guang summoned representatives from the college at Yin Fang's suggestion.

As one of the three major forces that inherited the legacy of the Post-War Reconstruction Committee, the Academy is probably the most in-depth study of the Torch Church, and it is also the force most likely to understand the "Lagrange Point" and the "Celestial Man" situation.

Looking at Yang Kai who appeared in the holographic conference room, Chu Guang went straight to the point without exchanging pleasantries.

"What do you know about the gods?"

Hearing the word "Heaven", Yang Kai's expression was obviously a little strange.

And this also made Chu Guang feel more confident that the people in the academy really knew something.

"I want to say that I actually don't know much...although I think you wouldn't believe me if I said that."

Seeing that he was planning to cross the lake, Chu Guang stared at him and continued.

"I'm asking you this very seriously."

Seeing the indifferent expression on Yang Kai's face, he continued in a serious tone.

"According to the intelligence collected by our frontline troops, the senior leaders of the Torch Church digitized their thoughts and uploaded them to a server 1.5 million kilometers away. When our frontline troops arrested the latter, they obtained

I know that there is a group of forces called 'Heavenly People' who have accepted them."

When he heard Chu Guang say this, the expression on Yang Kai's face finally relaxed a little.

"Why are you so sure I know something?"

Chu Guang lightly shrugged his shoulders and said matter-of-factly.

"Isn't it obvious? No one cares more about things outside the earth than you do."

After a pause, he continued.

"I know you have no right to decide whether to reveal the information to me, but I hope you will think clearly that there is a group of guys who are hostile to us hiding somewhere in outer space and eyeing us. You want to leave the solar system and find a new one.

Home, I don’t object to the choice you made after careful consideration, but do you think you can get away with it based on the current situation?”

Yang Kai fell into silence for a long time after hearing this.

After a moment, he sighed and said.

"Heaven... To be honest, we really don't want to provoke those guys, and I advise you to leave them alone. Isn't your goal to end the Wasteland Era? Now that the war is over, you can just do this.

Okay, why bother with this?"

Using the alliance to extinguish the torch was the decision of the college's senior management. Although being dragged into this war by the alliance and ending up personally was an unexpected twist and turn, the final result was good, and the goals expected by the college's senior management were accomplished without compromise.

.

Neither the Chief Technology Officer nor Dr. Conclusion himself want this war to continue to expand, and this is the best outcome.

Although he does not understand the decisions of the top management, he greatly agrees with the wisdom of the Chief Technology Officer.

However, after listening to Yang Kai's words, Chu Guang frowned slightly.

He always felt that there was something in this sentence.

"When you say that, I'm getting more and more curious. What kind of guy is this that even you guys don't dare to mess with easily?"

Listening to the tone with a hint of excitement, Yang Kai sighed and said.

"I don't deny what you said. We really don't want to be enemies with them. In addition, you might as well think about a question... Why did the Holy Son do so many unnecessary things when he was about to die? Not only did he reveal his whereabouts, but he also had good intentions.

To remind you who took them in. Think about it!"

Seeing Yang Kai's heartbroken expression, Chu Guang continued indifferently.

"I know what that guy wants to do. He just wants to lure us into investigating things about heavenly beings."

Yang Kai's eyebrows twitched fiercely and he couldn't help but say.

"Since you know this is a trap, why do you still ask so many questions?"

"Whether it's a trap or not is another topic. I will naturally judge the risks on my own based on the information and clues I have." Chu Guang stared at him intently and said in a serious tone, "However, there is a group of people that I cannot tolerate.

Dirty Dong XZ is ready to move in the dark, ready to give us a surprise at any time. Compared with the traps that have been exposed in the open, the risks hidden in the dark are more worthy of my vigilance."

Yang Kai fell into silence.

It seemed that he asked his superiors for instructions. After a moment, he sighed and said.

"We actually don't know much about them... I can only tell you the part I know."

Chu Guang motioned him to continue talking with his eyes.

After sorting out his thoughts for a moment, Yang Kai slowly spoke.

"If you know the history of the People's League, you should know that two centuries ago, the People's League sent an expeditionary force to Nanmen 2."

Chu Guang's heart moved and he asked immediately.

"Are those heavenly beings descendants of the expeditionary force?"

"You can say that." Yang Kai nodded slowly, agreeing with his guess.

However, after receiving the affirmative answer, more doubts emerged in Chu Guang's heart.

"...But I don't understand. If they are descendants of the expeditionary force, shouldn't they be on our side? Why should they help the Torch?"

Not surprised by Chu Guang's confusion, Yang Kai continued.

"On our side...what exactly do you mean by 'us'?"

Hearing these meaningful words, Chu Guang couldn't help but frown slightly.

"What's the meaning?"

Yang Kai said concisely and concisely.

"That's what it means literally."

"This planet is filled with retro militarists, far-sighted escapists, and hedonists who've had a good life... and a bunch of other shit. You'd think they'd have the slightest hope of closure.

The Wasteland Era? Maybe they themselves have never thought about ending the Wasteland Era. For example, we think it doesn’t matter, we will leave here one day anyway.”

Chu Guang: "But there are some people who think there is such a thing, right?"

Yang Kai smiled meaningfully.

"Are you talking about yourselves? Of course it seems that way to you, but it's another story to us onlookers. You have indeed united some people, which is amazing, but to the wider wasteland

In fact, there is nothing we can do... No offense intended, you yourself know very well that some people cannot be united."

Chu Guang nodded.

"This is nothing to admit. We have also prepared another plan."

Yang Kai shrugged his shoulders noncommittally and continued.

"Maybe, but no matter what plans you prepare, at least in the eyes of onlookers, those plans may not be more efficient than the methods of the Vaillant people."

"It may take 500 years for the Vaillant people to end the wasteland, and it may take 400 years for you to count on it, but it may also be 600 years... Who knows? I guess you don't have an accurate one in your mind.

’s numbers.”

Chu Guang neither denied his statement nor interrupted him, but quietly waited for him to continue speaking.

After a pause, Yang Kai continued.

"As for the heavenly beings... in your view, they are compatriots from the Human League era and successors of that era. However, this is just your own opinion. In their view, they are not the successors, but the Human League itself.

.”

"As for you, us and everyone else on this planet, in their eyes they are just 'children' of the People's Federation. They don't care at all who will win, as long as human civilization can eventually continue."

Chu Guang's brows tightened.

"Even if it continues at the expense of everyone..."

Yang Kai chuckled.

"Dear Mr. Administrator, are there not many people who have died because of the Wasteland Era? What seems to us to be an unacceptable price may be something else to those who are real bystanders... This

It's not impossible. But in most cases, they will not directly interfere with matters on the surface, as long as you don't act like they feel threatened."

Chu Guang asked in a deep voice.

"for example?"

"I don't know. Maybe the chess pieces on the chessboard took the initiative to break the wall between the spectators and the chessboard. Maybe you did something to make them feel that the end of the Wasteland Era is hopeless..." Yang Kai spread his arms.

Hands, a helpless expression on his face, "We know very little about them, including what I said before. Many of them are actually our guesses."

"But one thing is for sure, this group of people are more eager for quick success than we imagined. This may be related to the fact that they have little time left... In short, they hope to end the wasteland before their time runs out, and some other methods,

From their point of view, everything is acceptable, even the practices of the Torch Church and the Enlightenment Society."

"After all, according to our calculations, if the torch plan succeeds, it will take up to fifty years for the planet to enter a new era... Of course, this price may be very high, especially for those of us who are alive.

"

After a pause, Yang Kai looked at Chu Guang and continued in a sincere tone.

"So I hope you'd better not provoke those guys. It's not that difficult to pretend they don't exist... Anyway, the power of the torch on this planet has been eliminated, even if those guys escaped 1.5 million kilometers away

There can't be any trouble outside, right? And if there is any fatal danger on this planet again, we will remind you, just like before."

Listening to this innocent rhetoric, Chu Guang shook his head.

"...If the idea of ​​celestial beings makes me feel at best that these people are crazy, the way you bury your heads in the sand and act like ostriches makes me feel stupid."

Looking at Yang Kai who looked sulky but speechless, Chu Guang continued speaking without any politeness.

"Since you know that these people are more eager for quick success than you think, how could you come to the naive conclusion that 'they will not interfere in surface affairs'?"

"Let me tell you straight, they have ended up personally. Those black boxes held by the Torch may have been provided by them, but you are not willing to admit it."

"If we really leave them alone, it's just a torch this time, and maybe something else will come out next time!"

Yang Kai couldn't help but ask.

"Then what can you do? They may have an entire fleet at their disposal, but what about you? You can't even go to outer space."

He still hoped that the alliance would be better off not provoking those "celestial beings", so he tried to persuade Chu Guang to give up that unrealistic idea. After all, provoking those guys, not to mention whether it was practical or not, would do no good at all.

It may lead to greater trouble.

However, Chu Guang did not do as he wished, and instead replied in a decisive tone.

"We will naturally use our own methods."

"No matter what choice we make in the end, we will never sit still and wait for death."
