After repairing in the secret base deep in the ocean for half a month, Lin Sen and Chen Lan drove "Midnight" to leave the island and rush to the Cerberus Dome, which had become a restricted area. [Lin Sen gave himself a special version of Corina
q7 got a new name]
The journey home was 5,700 kilometers away, and it would take more than two hours even at the highest speed at midnight.
But Lin Sen was not so anxious.
On the way, he first had a conversation with Chen Guang and the others. When he learned that they were making good progress and were preparing to return, Lin Sen felt relieved.
But when the uncle heard that Lin Sen was taking Chen Lan with him, he immediately became unhappy when the two of them headed to Cerberus. He asked Lin Sen over and over again to come back and take him with him.
However, Lin Sen was more accustomed to an environment with fewer people, so he politely refused.
Before approaching their destination, Lin Sen and Chen Lan recalibrated the precautions that Manni had given before leaving.
The first is activity time.
Because Cerberus is currently surrounded by extremely unstable electromagnetic storms, the daily operation time is limited, and the specific time period must be determined based on the day's storm data.
Generally speaking, the safe operation time is about 4-5 hours a day. At other times, Manny recommends staying at midnight and not trying to confront the electromagnetic storm that can destroy everything.
Next is the course of action.
Although Lin Sen has lived outside the walls of Cerberus for fifteen years, the world inside the Wall of Sighs is still extremely unfamiliar to Lin Sen. Therefore, for the sake of safety, Lin Sen did not collect any other precise data before
Sen's course of action was planned.
His first stop will be the starting point of the entire "repertoire".
The Thirteenth Media Building of the United Government is located in the ruins of the upper city in the northwest of Darken City.
According to the long-distance scanning and monitoring a day ago, no traces of enemies have been found around the building. It is relatively safe. However, Linsen needs to pass through a 215-kilometer-long ruined area, which is full of instability.
energy vortex and wandering alienated mechanical creatures.
"Manni said that this section of the road was originally part of the middle-level city structure, but it was completely turned into ruins after the final battle. If we went there on foot, we could directly reach the first target point, but it would take too long and there would be too many variables.
, so I plan to let Midnight send us directly above the first target point, and then we go in directly from top to bottom, what do you think?" Lin Sen calmly analyzed the route situation.
Chen Lan had no objection to this. He nodded and said, "I listen to Brother Sen."
Lin Sen smiled when he heard this: "We are companions who live and die together. If there is anything wrong, you must speak up. You can't just listen to me."
Chen Lan also smiled: "It's okay, I believe Brother Sen."
"Heh... Okay, let's make this decision for now. When we get to the place, we can revise it if there are any changes."
"good."
A final note of caution is action purpose.
At first, Lin Sen thought this was a simple rescue operation, but the night before leaving, Amy found Lin Sen and told him another operational significance of returning to Cerberus.
That is to try to achieve first contact with the enemy's axial thinking body.
"I'm ashamed to say it... We, a group of us, thought we were righteous and made such a big fuss in Cerberus, and so many people died... In the end, we didn't know who the enemy was, so I hope you will
Go, if you can, find the real answer." Amy's tone was full of self-blame, and this was probably how her pride was lost.
Lin Sen's account of everything that happened on Cerberus is still based on Amy's narration, and many details are not yet complete, so Lin Sen has already prepared for the worst.
Lin Sen also told Chen Lan about this worst-case scenario.
However, Chen Lan's answer was simple: "Brother Sen gave me my life. It doesn't matter where I die, as long as I don't die, it's a coward."
Several other considerations are mostly related to the natural conditions after the fall of Cerberus, including the original artificial weather structure of the Cerberus Dome. This part of the structure was completely out of control during the fall, so the current
The weather phenomenon inside Cerberus is a complete mess. Maybe you are walking on a sunny street, and within a few steps, the wind suddenly blows, and then it starts to snow.
The snow wasn't the worst, the worst was the lightning storm simulation...
Regarding this simulation, Lin Sen felt very weird when he heard it... Are human beings really idle and have nothing to do? Why should we add such natural disaster-level weather simulation data to the artificial weather framework? I think life is too easy, right?
…
Complaints are complaints, but Lin Sen honestly recorded them in his heart.
The final summary is that this trip to Cerberus is definitely a desperate journey with a narrow escape from death.
…
At 10 a.m. on January 6, 2014, the core of midnight thinking woke up Lin Sen from his nap.
"We have arrived near our destination, please prepare to land."
Lin Sen opened his eyes and was stunned for the first time.
Because of the scene in front of me...
"The current position is eleven kilometers away from the target location, the altitude is 521 meters, and the wind speed is ten knots."
"Let's stop here for now." Lin Sen looked at the desolate scene in the distance, his heart trembling to the point of horror.
"OK."
At this time, Chen Lan also woke up. When he woke up, he looked very similar to Lin Sen, even more exaggerated.
"Oh my God...what happened here..." Chen Lan's voice was trembling. He came to the midnight cab and scanned the area bit by bit through the long-distance vision module.
I saw...
In that distant place, a pure white mast with an inclination of more than 70 degrees and a dome structure like an umbrella fell crookedly in the dark storm. It looked like the pillar supporting the heaven and earth had fallen down, and even if
It tilts, its extremely majestic body is still beyond sight, its foundation is still deep in the earth, and its commanding point is still buried deep in the clouds.
Under the storm, the breathtaking Wall of Sighs, which was more than 120 meters high and 55 meters wide at its narrowest point, was now devastated. Many places had even been completely destroyed. Those remaining scars showed
The world shows how terrible the destruction it has suffered.
If when he first got the panoramic model of Cerberus, Lin Sen thought it was just that small circle, a place like a small courtyard, then now he knows that his imagination is too narrow...
It is indeed a small circle when viewed from the starry sky, but there were once 120 million people living in that small circle, and there were ten new century metropolises with a population of more than 5 million.
But now, it has become a deserted land... It is still so far away... but people can already feel a huge sense of depression and death...
"Let's go, Midnight." Lin Sen turned off the long-distance vision module and increased the speed to the highest level.
Soon, Lin Sen returned to the home he had been looking forward to countless times in the past few months.
Although the Wall of Surveillance has been completely destroyed and the Wall of Sighs is also in disarray, what Lin Sen did not expect is that the home he has lived in for fifteen years has basically retained its original appearance...
"The initial stage of the deduction has been completed. The current period is suitable for operations, and no threat signals have been detected within the safe range." Midnight is carrying out its work diligently.
Lin Sen nodded and opened the hatch.
The air outside the cabin was very turbid, so Lin Sen had no choice but to lower his mask.
Pushing open the small wooden door of the courtyard, the vegetation in the courtyard has been completely polluted by the turbid air and turned into pitch black plastic.
Lin Sen was still filled with emotion to see these familiar things again.
"Brother Sen, did you live here before?" Chen Lan followed Lin Sen into the house. He found that the house did not look gorgeous on the outside, but it was very carefully decorated inside, especially the kitchen that was transformed with a thinking chariot.
It’s all available.
"Yeah." Lin Sen wiped off the dust on the table, and the crystal screen on the surface of the table was still working.
"This is? Sister Lin Yan?" Although Chen Lan had never met Lin Yan, he guessed it immediately when he saw the smiling people on the screen.
Lin Sen didn't speak. He looked at the photos, raised the corners of his lips, and then silently collected these precious data.
At the end of the collection, Lin Sen unexpectedly found a letter written a few months ago.
After hurriedly opening it and looking at the opening, Lin Sen's eyes turned red...
"Asen...Alia is willing to help us, but I know your and Xue'er's characters. You will never agree to such charity. But now I can't lose any more, so...I finally contacted
Aaliya... Now, I am going to take Xueer to Aaliya's place, and she has agreed to help us reproduce the Lin family's classical music... I hope my decision is not wrong... I... actually...
Ah Sen... If you are still alive... I..." The scene stopped abruptly here... Lin Yan failed to suppress her emotions. She knew that this expectation was just a naive fantasy... so this letter was originally left for Lin Yan.
Mori's letter was never really completed.
But enough is enough.
Lin Sen put the letter away and said softly: "Let's go inside and have a look."
…
The thick rock and poured steel made the Wall of Sighs once the strongest defense system of mankind. It once preserved the fire of civilization for mankind in its most desperate moments, and completely blocked the intrusion of alien species.
But now, the indestructible thing has fallen.
Lin Sen walked forward on foot, and it took him about five minutes to reach the interior of Cerberus, which he had always dreamed of.
As soon as I walked in, the view in front of me suddenly became much brighter.
And... even though it has fallen, and the once prosperous and prosperous city has turned into withered dead trees, its grandeur is still there.
"I really want to see what it looked like before it fell." Chen Lan said with regret as he looked at the rough man-made ocean in the distance and the tilted axis mast.
