"So, those trapped took the initiative to accept the afterglow of light.
This completes the last part of your plan."
Su Wen nodded.
He looked at the pure white light gradually engulfing his feet and said calmly and rationally:
"Only some people chose to stay.
Maybe because:
They still have nostalgia for this world.
Even if.
Just in a historical way."
Hear Mr. Detective's final puzzle.
Caroline answered softly:
"because.
Today is Christmas, a time of rebirth and reunion, right?"
"Um.
This is the answer."
now.
At the end of his elegant words.
Those churning streams of light can no longer be blocked by the long-abandoned isolation barrier of Rockefeller University's No. 76 Research Institute.
In an instant.
A pure white torrent shot into the sky like the eruption of Mount Fuji.
But Dolores and the armed helicopter formation had already left here.
In the sky far away from Mount Moses.
The frosty-faced female prosecutor crossed her long legs wearing tight black boots and black stockings and leaned on the helicopter seat.
She said without interest:
"Let's go.
The next emergency matter will be handled by the U.S. Federal Night Watch.
If we are left behind, the situation will get further out of control."
Hear Dolores's command.
A slightly confused female voice came from the Dragonborn Research Society's communication line:
"Isn't it dangerous?
I always get the feeling that Caroline is trying to do something anti-social.
Just like when she tricked me into opening the inquiry records of [Seventh Proverb] in Augusta, Maine."
"Lully.
If you have systematically studied the course [Stability of Space Composition and Theory of Abyss Purification Energy Cycle].
This question probably won’t be asked.”
"Don't call me stupid!"
"hehe.
You admitted it yourself before I said anything."
It is probably only at such times that the female prosecutor rarely smiles.
She looked at the white waves that shone in the sky and began to gather clouds:
"To ensure that the helicopter formation I mobilized is not affected by the La Nina cold wave.
All drivers from t1-t7.
Return quickly to the military-controlled airport in Manhattan."
That's right.
In the return command.
Delores used the term 'La Niña cold wave'.
at the same time.
She also clearly saw that the mercury thermometer hanging inside the armed helicopter was dropping at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Communication in progress.
The girl she called Luli analyzed with some confusion:
"Temperatures and water levels have returned to normal levels in tropical areas of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
According to William Patzelt, chief oceanographer at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory:
This calm situation began with the disappearance of La Niña three months ago. He believes that the global climate system has returned to the state it was in four years ago."
"I suggest you ask William Patzelt again now.
in his atmospheric circulation model.
Whether the extraordinary variable ‘Relic Jet’ has been added.”
Abandoned ruins.
Su Wen felt that the temperature in this research institute was decreasing.
Thin layers of pure white ice began to spread on the walls, picture frames, and LCD screens.
Caroline put her palms together and took a breath of hot air.
She was a little cold.
The third level [Transparency] mainly brings improvements in thinking and psychic control to the life class.
Moreover, Ms. Hacker’s sublimation pedigree has no effect on improving vitality.
Perhaps only when you reach the fourth level [Flawless] can you have stronger resistance.
Therefore, Su Wen gently put his coat on her body.
then.
He pulled out the azure long sword from the surface of the laboratory that had been replaced by white waves and then disappeared:
"If I'm right.
Most of the monsters buried in the entire Research Institute No. 76 will be frozen to death in the ice.
A small number of them will rush out and attack us due to the sudden drop in temperature and the sudden increase in the spiritual energy environment.
Be mentally prepared.
Whether this attempt can be successful depends on now."
Hear him say that.
Feeling the rekindled warmth, Caroline tightened her tight coat, and then showed a beautiful smile:
"Mr. Lai Yin.
Is this the last battle tonight?"
"If there's nothing wrong with my plan.
Then my answer:
Yes."
Hear him say that.
Caroline took off the bracelet hanging from her right wrist:
"After everything is over, remember to take me back."
The girl's beautiful eyes also had an endless bright yellow glow.
With countless drones floating and rising in front of her.
Countless brands were engraved on the shells of those drones as if they were gone.
[Yan Ling: Gilded Fire]
then.
Boundless golden flames sprayed out from the marks engraved on the drones.
at the same time.
A huge number of mutant monsters also broke through the laboratory's defense line.
But the next second.
They were melted by the boundless constant-temperature flames.
Turned into the ‘nutrient’ of the ruins
But even so, because of the terrifying attraction brought by the huge spiritual tide reshaped by the ruins.
More and more mutant lives still choose to rush here to die like one after another.
After one hour.
Whether it is Su Wen who maintains [Sealed Artifact: Fragments of C12-2022 Glow Torch] at the cost of burning his life force.
Caroline, who was still rapidly consuming her energy and spiritual energy to maintain the constant-temperature flames, almost couldn't hold on anymore.
only.
Unbeknownst to them, between the troposphere of the New York State sky.
The ever-expanding low temperature condenses water vapor.
finally.
The harbinger of falling snow was established.
Feeling that her body's strength was constantly being overdrawn, Caroline coughed twice.
Do not know why.
While resisting the offensive of mutated monsters,
The hacker lady also recalled her experience in the orphanage, and she said weakly:
"I still remember that time.
Including me, the day that all the children in the orphanage look forward to most is probably Christmas.
The fact that we look forward to that day is not because Christmas has any special meaning.
only.
Just get some delicious food.
Two pieces of white bread and a large bowl of cream soup are probably the gifts we are most looking forward to.
so.
Even if you encounter danger, even until death.
Susan was still thinking about the discount bread coupon that had probably expired long ago.
Mr. Lai Yin.
Will we die here?
But I don’t want to give up, what should I do?”
While she was feebly reminiscing like this.
In the pure white light that reshapes the boundless ruins.
That familiar figure of Caroline.
She has come back.
And behind her.
there are more.
Once assimilated by the endless pollution of the abyss.
But now, those who are baptized by the resonance of the tide of the Silver Sea are left with only their will.
them.
Volunteer to become the guardian of this ruins.
In the early morning of Christmas Eve, this moment was fixed that was great enough to be remembered by human civilization.
The last missing piece of the puzzle to reshape the ruins.
