Human beings may have never been so isolated and helpless as they are today, and that feeling of powerlessness is more deadly than the direct destruction of life, because when everyone begins to wait for death, they will completely reach the end of destruction.
However, the desire for life still inspired more people to try and struggle. They fled from the newly established new city. Although they didn't know where they were going, they knew they couldn't stop.
Most of the remaining guards were the group of warriors brought out by Yue Pingyang who swore to fight to the end for mankind. They had already regarded death as home. Therefore, after receiving Xiao Qing's order, this group of people immediately began to assemble without hesitation and decided to fight with the center.
Let’s fight to the death with the remaining power of the curtain!
But when Xiao Qing discovered that more than two thousand people had safely entered the trap they prepared for them, Xiao Qing suddenly had a new plan.
"Everyone stays where you are." After Xiao Qing's order was issued, the heavily armed guards stopped three hundred meters outside the new chamber of Pride of the Future.
The Sovereign, which had just ignited the engine, also closed the charging valve group of the main gun.
Although Qin Wen disagreed with Xiao Qing's stay, Xiao Qing's rank was higher than hers, so she could only choose to obey the order.
"Yue Pingyang, how long will it take for you to come back?" Xiao Qing saw that everyone had stopped and contacted the reinforcements who were rushing back to Future Pride.
"It's almost here, about ten more minutes."
"Okay, when you come back, ask your people to stand by at the star port, and then you and I will go to meet the leader of this group of people."
"Meet their leader? Are you crazy?" Yue Pingyang said in surprise.
Xiao Qing replied: "I'm not crazy, but these people are a little strange, so... I decided to try to make contact with them, maybe... it's not necessarily to the point of life and death."
After hearing this, Yue Pingyang understood: "Okay, just wait a moment, I'll be there soon."
After hanging up the communication, Xiao Qing locked her eyes on the new court, which was targeted by multiple firepowers. Another set of pictures was displayed in front of her. In that picture, more than two thousand people in the court were sitting neatly.
Only Wei was walking back and forth on the newly built speaker's seat in the chamber, looking not only not in a hurry but also quite leisurely.
And it was because of this scene that Xiao Qing had the idea of communicating with the other party.
…
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when the "Chongfeng" on which Yue Pingyang was traveling returned to the first star port of Future Pride.
The confrontation between the new army and the more than 2,000 people lasted for a full hour.
After returning, Yue Pingyang immediately found Xiao Qing and asked about the general situation.
Xiao Qing briefly explained what happened, and then said: "Now they are sitting quietly in the new court, and they don't know what they are planning."
"Did they say anything? Did our people talk to them?"
Xiao Qing shook her head: "No, they were very calm. They didn't even say a word when passing through the security check. They looked like a group of deaf-mute people."
"The deaf-mute... Tsk, okay, I'm ready, let's go talk to them?"
"Walk!"
…
At the same time, in the new chamber, the team leader sitting on the speaker's seat sat upright, with one person standing on each side in front of him.
The three people's eyes were focused together, as if they were looking at something intently.
The scene in the picture was a bit weird. When Yue Pingyang was packing his equipment, he asked: "What are they looking at?"
"I don't know? Maybe it's some very special gadget..." Xiao Qing put on a brand new set of desperate weapons, which was one of the few pieces of equipment retained on the King.
At this time, Qin Wen, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly entered the channel and said: "They are observing the changes in string rate space-time."
"Uh... string rate space-time? What is that thing?" Yue Pingyang picked up the thought pistol and put it down again, probably because he felt that this thing had no effect at the critical moment.
"Chord-rate space-time is a space-time structure drawn with a 'string' pattern. By observing changes in this structure, we can detect the precursors of various strange changes in space-time," Qin Wen explained.
But... despite the detailed explanation, Yue Pingyang still had a question mark on his forehead.
Xiao Qing seemed to understand, and she asked: "Qin Wen, did you discover something?"
Qin Wen hummed: "Yes, after determining the target of their observation, I simulated and started the high-frequency string rate observation program. Through observation, I found that the spatial string rate around Vasalir Forest is very abnormal."
"Hmm?! Can we share the data?" Xiao Qing was startled again, and then a group of images of waves similar to line drawings popped up in front of her eyes.
Seeing this "wave", Xiao Qing's expression became very complicated.
"What's wrong? Could it be that the Central Curtain has made a comeback?" Yue Pingyang asked.
Xiao Qing frowned and replied: "Not sure, but a large-scale space collapse is about to occur near Vasalir Forest! And if that collapse really happens... I think... we don't have to do anything, just
Just wait for death."
Yue Pingyang was stunned, and then said: "Hey, hey, hey! Are you kidding me! Large-scale space collapse? Are you saying that we will be swallowed up by the singularity soon?"
Xiao Qing nodded: "It's possible."
Yue Pingyang was really speechless. He originally thought that the remaining Sound Angel was bad enough, but he didn't expect that the real doomsday was not here.
But...looking at those guys sitting quietly, Yue Pingyang felt something was not right.
"Then...are they just sitting here waiting for death?"
Xiao Qing also noticed something was wrong when he heard this, because if these people were really waiting to die, why would they die here?
"Forget it, no matter what the future holds, it's not my style to sit back and wait for death. Let's go." Xiao Qing's heart was full of doubts, but she didn't intend to tangle herself to death.
Yue Pingyang sighed, dropped all his weapons, and followed Xiao Qing wearing only an ordinary Mark 7 exoskeleton.
…
When the two came outside the door of the chamber, they looked at each other, then they raised their hands together and pushed open the heavy door of the chamber.
After the door opened, the leader at the speaker's seat raised his head. He looked at the two people outside the door with burning eyes, then stood up and said: "I thought that if I kept waiting, the result would be a dead end. I didn't expect that there are still warriors among humans."
Xiao Qing was a little surprised when she heard this, but overall, the reaction to the first contact was much better than she expected.
"Who are you?" Xiao Qing stood at the door and asked loudly, but she did not go any further.
However, what was even more surprising was yet to come. After hearing this, the man on the speaker's seat replied directly: "We are the puppets cursed by the power of the central curtain, and we are the group of traitors who caused the destruction of the world."
Xiao Qing was surprised by being so straightforward, and then Yue Pingyang asked: "Then you are our enemies?"
The man replied: "Judging from the current situation, we are indeed hostile."
Ha! Yue Pingyang was happy: "Oh? Then you are here to kill us all?"
The man also smiled: "We won't do this unless necessary."
"so?"
"We are here to find a possibility."
"What kind of possibility?" Yue Pingyang continued to ask.
"It is possible to get more human support to re-establish our connection with the central tree." The man's words were straightforward from beginning to end, but the excessive straightforwardness was a bit unbelievable to Xiao Qing and Yue Pingyang.
Just like now, after hearing such an answer, Yue Pingyang burst into laughter. He looked at Xiao Qing, who also looked normal. The two of them couldn't believe that these people were planning to come looking for help... or rather... a kind of
Relatively polite...destruction?
When this concept appeared in both of their minds, Xiao Qing coldly asked: "Do you know what you are talking about?"
The man nodded: "I know."
"Then do you think it's possible?" Xiao Qing has never forgotten the disaster that the Central Veil has brought to the world, so how could she be so easily deceived by this man's calmness.
The man smiled lightly: "So I took them to fight for it myself."
Xiao Qing laughed angrily after hearing this. After arguing for a long time, it turned out that these guys were just a group of beasts in disguise. Although they didn't trample on life like Law Angel, there was no difference in essence.
However, Yue Pingyang felt vaguely strange. He was curious about how these guys thought they could get help from humans?
"I'm sorry, although my final answer will definitely be rejection, but I still want to know what it means for you to fight for it so politely? Or... what is it to help you re-establish the center..."
"The central branch tree is the prototype of Kabbalah's divine thoughts cast in light, and is also the true appearance of the central curtain." The man added.
Yue Pingyang chuckled: "Oh! Yes, yes! It's called the Kabbalah of Light, the central tree... But that's not the point. The point is, what are the benefits of doing this to us?"
After hearing this, the man thought for a moment, and then replied firmly: "There are many benefits."
Yue Pingyang was startled. He was really looking forward to it: "For example?"
"For example, most of you can still live in this world, but we will leave here completely and return to the realm of truth under the protection of the central tree." The man said very seriously.
But Yue Pingyang felt as if his IQ had been severely stepped on, and all his expectations were gone.
"Oh... After doing this for a long time, it turns out that you have made enough trouble, and then I found that the main force has retreated, leaving you guys with no money to buy tickets to go home?" Yue Pingyang said with a smile, but he had already quietly said it.
The combat system of the exoskeleton was activated and the combat signal was sent out at the same time.
Qin Wen, who had been silently paying attention to the contact dynamics, sighed softly, and then all ten of the King's shore-based main guns began to enter the charging stage.
However, I don’t know if these puppets are lacking in IQ or if they are too confident. In short, it seems that after listening to Yue Pingyang’s words, the man did not hear any danger signals.
He smiled and said: "It's a good metaphor. We really...should go home."
