A stray bullet hit the left front canard of the Nuwa, causing the fuselage to shake violently, but the overall impact was not significant.
Yu Zhesen raised his altitude and broke away from the air defense fire net - there was no point in continuing to dive through the barrage when he could not break through the rainbow barrier.
"You're tired, right?" Shi Xin said worriedly, "Your body has been overloaded with superpowers today."
Yu Zhesen does feel mentally tired, and his increasingly severe dizziness is making him gradually lose his sense of direction.
"Call Team 141...the mission cannot be completed. You should return immediately."
"Team 141 is unable to return. We are deeply honored to fight alongside you on the last leg." The captain of Team 141 replied.
Yu Zhesen saw that the only two VXF-21 fighters of Team 141 had begun to stall and glide, and their fuel was exhausted.
"Team 141! Leave the battle area immediately! Find a suitable sea surface for emergency landing, so maybe you can still..."
Before he could finish his words, he saw the seraphs holding swords and shields catching up with the VXF-21 fighter plane that had lost its supersonic speed, and slashed the lightsaber at the cockpit mercilessly.
Two fireballs exploded over the deep-sea mothership, and there was no sound of friendly forces in the radio communication.
Blood overflowed from Friedheim's nostrils and corners of his mouth. He controlled the Rainbow Angel to engage in continuous aerial combat, and his body was already overloaded with superpowers.
"Franken, inform the launch silo to be activated. The target... is to destroy the Qidao City Administration Bureau, the Defense Force, the Security Bureau Building and the Tribunal!"
"Yes...but Dean, you can no longer force yourself."
"I still have nothing to do." Friedheim raised his crutch with difficulty and pointed at the sky, and the angel in the sky also made the same gesture as him, pointing at the Nuwa with his sword.
Suddenly, his eyes became empty, and his body fell straight forward as if frozen.
Franken supported him with a thick arm and looked up at the sky with feeling: "The dean..."
The virtual space unfolds for the second time, this time the scene is a vast sky.
Friedheim is floating above the sea of clouds, with the solemn rainbow angel behind him, and a wide red line connecting their bodies.
Opposite him, Yu Zhesen and Shi Xin were floating hand in hand, with Nuwahao transformed into a robot form behind them.
"I didn't expect you would choose to enter the virtual space again to face me face to face." Friedheim seemed hesitant to speak, "Although you are omnipotent here, killing me is also meaningless."
Yu Zhesen casually stretched out his hand, and thunder suddenly sounded in the air, and An He's black long knife flew into his palm again.
"I'll get rid of your string puppets first, and then I'll kill you!" Yu Zhesen said and raised the black knife, preparing to guide the silver strings that would cut off everything.
But Friedheim did not panic at all. He said calmly: "Indeed, once you lose the Rainbow Angel, the defensive weapons on the ship alone cannot stop you. I want to know that by that time, besides killing me,
, what else are you going to do?"
"Do you still need to ask? Of course, bury this battleship and your ambitions under the deep sea!" Yu Zhesen replied decisively.
"Would you hesitate to stain your hands with blood for this?"
Friedheim's wavering eyes were telling Yu Zhesen the fear in his heart at this moment.
Yu Zhesen said sarcastically: "I thought that as a leader, you should be more ruthless than your subordinates and not afraid of death. Did it turn out that the leaders just tempted their followers to die? When you controlled the angels to kill those defense force pilots, did you
Have you ever thought you would die?"
"You misunderstood. I don't care about personal life or death, but this 'ark' carries the hope of mankind."
"It's nonsense. Is this kind of anti-human war weapon considered a hope?"
Friedheim sighed and turned around slowly: "The time in the virtual space is enough for you to find out the truth. You might as well go and see for yourself."
As the sea of clouds changed, Yu Zhesen discovered that both the Nuwa and the Rainbow Angel were moving away from them.
But this is not that the two robots are flying higher into the sky, but that they are falling rapidly.
A moment later, he and Shi Xin landed on the deck of the deep-sea mothership "Ark".
Friedheim stood in front of an open door more than a dozen steps away.
Behind the door is a vertical elevator that leads to a huge space hidden below the deck.
"What's down there?" Yu Zhesen asked softly.
He was neither asking Friedheim nor his time, but himself.
After landing from the clouds, Yu Zhesen had a strange thought in his mind - what Friedheim was going to show him would break his will.
He knew that he was not a ruthless embryo-killer, but that he had a relatively heavy moral baggage. To convince his conscience to accept killing, he needed a sufficient reason, and the reason for killing Friedheim was enough.
So he instinctively resisted visiting the space below deck.
"Don't you want to take a look at another possibility of this world?" Friedheim invited him, "a possibility that breaks away from the order of the Iron Dome."
"No matter what you want me to see, it can't change the evil you did in the past and now." Yu Zhesen said coldly.
"Then what are you afraid of?"
Friedheim smiled slightly: "If you really have the supreme vision for the Iron Dome Order and are willing to sacrifice your life to support it, what are you afraid of me showing you?"
Yu Zhesen remained silent, and Friedheim saw through his heart.
If his loyalty to the Iron Dome Order and the Adventists' loyalty to their own sect were weighed on a scale, there would be no doubt about the result.
"Do you remember the question I asked last time in the virtual space?"
Friedheim solemnly repeated the question he asked at that time: "Didn't you have a moment of confusion along the way?"
The scene around him changed again. When Yu Zhesen came back to his senses, he found that they had arrived from the deck into a lecture theater that could accommodate hundreds of people.
The classroom was full of 7 or 8-year-old children. A young female teacher was pointing a laser pointer at the blue planet rotating on the screen, and said in a soft voice: "The Earth is the third planet in the solar system.
This planet is also the origin of our human civilization..."
Yu Zhesen and Shi Xin sat down in the seats in the last row, while Friedheim stood quietly in the aisle.
The female teacher on the stage talked about the evolution of human ancestors and the evolution of primitive society, perhaps to take care of the immature minds of the children. The content of this class was very simple.
The content of the lectures is basically consistent with Yu Zhesen’s understanding of human history, and this knowledge also exists in the Iron Dome education system.
But at the end, the female teacher made a request to the children to "establish the lofty ambition to one day lead the compatriots to return home."
"Returning home... So in order to realize the return of all mankind to that wasteland, you are willing to destroy everything in the current Iron Dome Paradise? Doesn't this count as putting one's personal will above all mankind?"
"Have you ever wondered why the world today has so many similarities with the old times?" Friedheim asked meaningfully.
"Similar?"
"A year has four seasons, 12 months, spring, summer, autumn and winter, and a day has 24 hours. There is a star called the sun and a satellite called the moon. The planet's land area is about 29% and the ocean area is 71%. There is sufficient oxygen,
There is a diversity of flora and fauna..."
Yu Zhesen's mind was buzzing. What Friedheim said was indeed what Iron Dome Paradise had in common with the old earth.
"I know that the education you have received has always been that 'The Iron Dome Authority has found a planet that is almost completely similar to the Earth.' You also believe that there is a primitive, unexplored wilderness outside the revitalized city, even if it occasionally
People in pioneering areas discover some strange civilization products, which will also be interpreted as relics of ancient civilizations created by the extinct aborigines on this planet."
Friedheim took a deep breath and said slowly: "What if I told you that this is the earth?"
"How can I prove that what you said is not a lie?"
"Leave the Fuxing City and go to the more distant ruins outside the development area, and you will always find evidence."
"You know that I can't confirm it now, and it's impossible to confirm it." Yu Zhesen said keenly, "And since you said this is the earth, what do you mean by return?"
Friedheim replied: "This is the Earth, but it is not the Earth either. You can understand that the real Earth has been swallowed up by the Iron Dome Paradise, and only by destroying it can we achieve true return."
Yu Zhesen disagreed: "Destroy the civilization and development achievements of the new era and let everyone return to primitive society?"
Friedheim shook his head.
He did not continue to argue, but let the surrounding scenery change again.
Leaving the amphitheater where children attend class, Yu Zhisen passed by the production workshop where bionic robots and ordinary people worked together, the shops and canteens where planned rationing was implemented, the standard living areas where everyone had the same conditions, and the indoor park where young lovers and elderly people were scattered.
.
"There is no monetary economy here, and there is no distinction between rich and poor. Adults and machines work together, children receive intensive care and education, and the elderly enjoy support. Everyone believes that their efforts will change the world and eventually
One day we can take back our true home."
"Your soldiers are selected from these people?"
"Everyone here wants to be a warrior, but once you become a warrior, you can only fight until you die and never return to the group." Friedheim said, "We will announce to anyone who is ready to become a warrior.
According to this rule, if he still has nostalgia for the life below the deck, his memory will be erased and sent back to the living area."
"So this is picking out pure lunatics?"
"No, dedication to the doctrine must be voluntary. And those living below the deck will never have to feel guilty for the chaotic and evil world outside. All sins are borne by us." Friedheim said,
"If we succeed in the end, these people can start creating a new era spotlessly."
This is truly a noble and great act of madness, Yu Zhesen thought to himself.
Obviously, Friedheim knew that what the Adventist sect did in the Renaissance City was a heinous act of terrorism, but they accepted such evil calmly and firmly believed that it was inevitable to promote the advancement of history. "The Nuwa detected the ignition of the Ark's launch silo! Yu Zhesen, it's time to make up your mind!"
Shi Xin suddenly interrupted the conversation between Yu Zhesen and Friedheim, reminding him that a real crisis was occurring.
