The blue light patterns alternate between light and dark, giving the entire space a beautiful scene as if it were under a shallow sea. But there is neither a sea nor any creatures swimming here. What is there are just humanoid figures arranged in a battle formation.
machine.
In fact, by human standards, they should be called aliens, not alien machines. But still by human standards, the most elite warriors with impressive records often use
Killing machines to describe them.
The people standing in line here are the warriors of the fourth civilization. Just standing can exude a suffocating pressure. This is not intentional, but a real momentum that has been tempered. It is not a king.
The master is not a fierce warrior, but has an aura that makes people instinctively think of the word "killing machine" just by looking at him.
Compared to the Earth civilization, which has successfully gone through several games, the Fourth Civilization has spent countless lives in exchange for the survival of the civilization until now.
Originally, it was not a civilization that was good at producing warriors. In fact, if we were to put the words describing the characteristics of the civilization such as economy, culture, and entertainment in order, then the words related to combat might have to be found in the backward order.
A civilization like this that is completely unsuitable for a game of destruction should have been completely destroyed in the first game. But there are always countless possibilities in the universe. The enemies that the fourth civilization encountered in the first game, whether it was technology or
Their mentality is even more fragile than theirs.
But even so, the opponent is an attacking civilization after all. In the cruel and strange war, while shedding tears, he pulled the trigger of plundering lives from the fourth civilization... In some respects, such an enemy is more sinister than a ferocious god.
The coming enemies made it even more difficult for the Fourth Civilization to deal with. After nearly all the game participants who participated in the novice tutorial were wiped out, they barely managed to win the first game.
It has to be said that the first game of defensive civilization completely copied everything in real civilization, which was a very effective way of spurring. In addition to the huge losses of the game participants themselves, the surviving game participants also saw something
A planet where life is almost completely extinct. Corpses are everywhere, it's like hell, and blood flows like rivers. These words are no longer adjectives, but an expression of facts.
Because they were the first to adapt to combat, the survivors who were not eliminated by death returned to reality with the memory of their civilization being destroyed, and used their own power to prevent the fragile civilization that was no different from the game from being destroyed.
The Fourth Civilization advocates fairness, but there are too many factors that can break fairness, especially the destruction game that strongly intervenes in the process of civilization, which has the power to obliterate fairness and even obliterate all things. In the face of this force that is too powerful to resist, the Fourth Civilization
The only way to uphold fairness is compromise, and only compromise.
While the vast majority of people are still walking on the ordinary path of life, on the other side opposite to reality, some people are beginning to be forced to become warriors, either for themselves or for the sake of the entire civilization.
There is no shortage of excuses in the game of destruction. Once you participate in the game, it is no longer clear whether killing and destruction is for yourself or for civilization. Even if you blatantly shout the former, in essence, your own survival is indeed civilization.
The basis of survival. And no matter what kind of despicable things a person who uses the latter as his slogan does, as long as it does not directly endanger the survival of civilization, no one can accuse him of doing anything wrong.
This game that tightly binds individuals and civilizations can easily change the thinking of any civilized individual. Therefore, warriors are not only warriors, but also leaders who completely change the thinking of the entire civilization to adapt to the game.
"If you don't kill, you will be killed."
"We must protect our home."
"I hope to give my loved ones a happy life."
"We cannot see people we value being killed by invaders in front of our eyes."
"The other party made the first move."
"Our enemies are aliens that are completely different from us. Killing them is not considered killing at all."
From the perspective of civilization itself, these words are not wrong in the first place. What’s more, those who can refute these words have always only existed from the perspective of staying outside the matter, and in this civilization, there is no distinction between men, women, old and young, rich or poor, high or low.
, regardless of good or evil, all people are involved in the game, and the moral standards are unified as never before.
If you want to survive in the game of destruction, you have to adapt to your own silent clamor. The fairness of the fourth civilization has been transferred from the fairness of all things to the fairness of becoming a warrior and protecting civilization without any hindrance.
There is neither a lack of excuses nor a lack of pressure, and there are countless coveted exchanges. All the forces in the universe that push living things forward are gathered in the game of destruction, so let alone the fourth civilization with common thinking to a certain extent, as long as it is
It is absolutely impossible for civilization to escape the control of the game of destruction.
After several difficult victories, the similarity of thinking brought about by fairness allowed the fourth civilization to complete the transformation of thinking faster than other civilizations. It omitted the process of individual confusion and struggle and went directly to the collective choice.
on the direction of progress.
This is both an advantage and a tragedy. Because of fairness, we have gained the fastest growth, and because of fairness we have lost the difference between warriors and those who need to be protected.
The Fourth Civilization, which hates fighting more than most civilizations, has completely given up on everything worth enjoying in reality, mechanized training of combat skills, mechanized familiarity with the use of weapons, and mechanized viewing of combat... It is constantly pushed by the consciousness of the entire civilization.
You can't even see the end point in front of you.
This kind of fourth civilization will still laugh because of happiness and cry because of sadness, but other than that, there is no emotional place that can distinguish an individual from the entire civilization. It is infinitely close to the social form of the lizard people. Therefore, the fourth civilization
Civilization is powerful. Especially the warriors who, in addition to thinking and training, have experienced games on the edge of despair and survived until now.
Although he did not understand the order he had just received, he still prepared for battle efficiently and then lined up to wait.
Under the detection of high-precision sensors, the vibrations from the top of the head are getting stronger and stronger, which means that the Boom Beast is rapidly approaching downwards, but the magnetic balls are all arranged around it, and none of the long-range weapons are aimed at the top of the head.
According to the order, other people will deal with the boom beasts dug out of the ground. At this time and place, what needs to be guarded against are threats from around the underground world. The soldiers of the fourth civilization will question the order, but they will never fail to do so.
To execute, and the person who gave the order this time was unprecedentedly careful. After asking the soldiers to obey the order, he also used the time before being attacked to explain the reasons for the current arrangement.
Blue light patterns flashed rapidly on the arm of the commander of this team of fourth civilization warriors, conveying a series of orders and instructions that inspired hope. After the commander made slight modifications, his deliberately cold voice echoed in the area.
In the midst of a murderous battle array.
"Our enemy only exists here underground. We only need to stick to our current position to win the final victory. Maybe it will be one hour, maybe two hours, maybe ten hours. Although I don't know how long it will take in the end, but
What is certain is that those of us who are defending here are convinced that as long as we fight with all our strength, the time required will definitely be within our limits."
As the commander finished these words, the vibrations above his head miraculously began to weaken. Except for the commander, the only moving soldier quickly compared the readings on the sensor, then nodded slightly to the commander, and then returned
queue.
Although he didn't say a word, and the other warriors didn't turn their heads to see his actions, the similarity of thinking made all the warriors know that under what circumstances there was no need for special explanation - the threat above their heads was indeed gradually fading away.
The commander's words, and the fact that they almost came in response, made the eyes of the soldiers hidden under the armor become brighter and brighter. The fact that the soldiers of the fourth civilization kill for survival does not mean that they are willing to make themselves targets of killing.
.After setting the goal of defending for victory, the soldiers already know the meaning of the following battle. Even if they cannot improve their combat power, they can prevent themselves from becoming weak due to confusion. But now, it is confirmed that the threat above them is coming.
As time goes by, the meaning of fighting changes from fighting for victory to fighting for survival.
The former is a collective goal, and one needs to pay countless prices to obtain it. The latter is the ultimate goal of individuals fighting. When an astonishing number of booming beasts are no longer approaching, the so-called defense becomes a bit less tragic.
, a little more hope. It makes what the commander calls "within the limit" a psychological possibility.
The warrior's body is as silent and resolute as steel, but the fighting spirit exuding is transforming from a suffocating heaviness into jumping and burning flames.
"My words now are not just to make you fight desperately. Allies from other civilizations have confirmed that our hostile civilizations are hiding in the space we are in now. Although we do not understand this technology, we are
In the previous battles, we have been exposed to too many technologies that we cannot understand. And before we understood it, the enemies using these technologies were defeated by us, so this time, we still don’t need to understand, as long as we know, this technology
It requires a huge amount of energy, and the enemy cannot hide for a long time, so that's enough. The only thing we need to do is to hold on until the enemy reveals their true form from the space they are hiding in, and then kill them."
"The protagonist of this battle is our civilization. Among the eight points that need to be reached to achieve the goal, only people from our civilization exist. Do you know what this means?" The commander knew that no one would reply, but still paused for a few seconds.
Then he continued to shout in a high-pitched voice, "This means that as long as one of the eight points fails, we will never have another chance. Not only are we responsible for the life and death of our own civilization, but there are also other things on our shoulders.
The future of the fourteen civilizations. The fourteen are also likely to save our civilization in the future. So this victory may also mean countless victories in the future..."
The commander vaguely felt that something was wrong with what he said now, but before he had time to think about it, new information came over.
"The commanders of the other seven points also said the same thing as me, especially this sentence - in the eight points, there may be losers, but it must not be us..."
After the sensor reaches the set warning threshold, it suddenly emits a harsh buzzer. Soon, even if the sensor is not used, you may clearly feel the vibrations coming from all directions.
The commander read out the last message he received verbatim.
"The enemies hiding around us can see our every move, so... don't be underestimated..."
