Chapter 35 Fireworks
Several dialog boxes popped up at the same time, almost freezing Zhou Zhengde's communicator.

There is no way. Precision instruments are supplied to the Joint Defense Force first. This kind of communicator should not appear in Central City.

[My Mom is Forever Young: Wenying is in trouble. Her pulse has disappeared. The last location sent by the life detection chip is on the 49th floor of the lower city, but the area cannot be determined.]

[A member of an unimportant law enforcement team in the upper city: The psychics of the Thirteenth Institute are rioting! More than thirty psychics have rushed out of the Thirteenth Institute and are heading for the elevator! Captain! Holy shit! All the psychics of the 76th Fortress have run out! There are thirty-eight of them!]

[Goddess Wei Na (front): The cleanup troops on the 45th floor suddenly started moving! They seemed to have received an order and started to move downwards! I'll go ask them right away!]

Zhou Zhengde's head buzzed and almost exploded.

What happened down there?
Just because An Xi died, all the psykers stationed in Fort 76 were dispatched? There were even a few C-level psykers among them?
Of course Zhou Zhengde couldn’t see that the biology minister, who saw his mother’s pulse signal suddenly disappear, was roaring wildly in the office at this moment.

Zhou Zhengde thought for a moment and immediately began to reply.

To my ex-girlfriend Wei Na: [Notify Mu Liang to leave the 49th floor immediately! All the psychics stationed in our fortress have come out in full force!]

To former team members: [Hide yourself and delete the communication records in the server, thank you. 】

To the Minister: [Why did Miss Ban go to the 49th floor? ]

Waited for more than ten seconds.

[An unimportant member of the law enforcement team in Upper City: Don’t worry about me! Boss! Everyone is waiting for you to come back! Anonymous.]

[My mother is forever young: She just told me that she was going to the 45th floor to supervise, so that she could take over the facilities of the Black Fire Gang later. We can’t let your psychics destroy those expensive facilities.]

[Goddess Wei Na (front): The captain here said that the order was issued by the upper city command center. The Black Fire Gang started a fierce exchange of fire half an hour ago, and there was a large-scale explosion. Thirteen psychics were killed. ]

[Goddess Wei Na (front): I am going down with the Silver Party and have been trying to contact him. Are you sure the receiver on his helmet is not damaged by the battle? There has been no response.]

Zhou Zhengde immediately replied to Wei Na: [The receiver is located between his eyebrows. If it is damaged, he will most likely not survive.]

Zhou Zhengde thought for a while and replied to his minister mother:
[Mother, I know you have to make plans for your faction and political stance, but I still think this matter is a bit excessive.]

After a while, two messages popped up again.

[My Mom is Forever Young: I know what you hate, kid, but you have to think about it. If we can control the Black Fire Gang's functional modules in our hands, can we effectively monitor what these gangs do?]

[My mother is forever young: Justice that ignores the whole is not true justice. Remember what your grandfather said: The one fighting against the blade beasts is the fortress, and hundreds of thousands of humans are a whole. For the survival of the whole, we can sacrifice some individuals.]

Zhou Zhengde replied with a dark face:

[Me: But grandpa also said that the whole is made up of each individual. If we don’t pay attention to each individual, the whole will soon fall apart.]

[My Mom is Forever Young: So this requires a balance. The ecology of the fortress is the best balance at present, with the upper, middle and lower cities each performing their respective functions.]

[Zhou Zhengde: But we haven’t given the people in the middle and lower cities enough choices! The basic human rights of the people in the lower cities cannot be guaranteed! ]

[My mother is forever young: I am the Minister of the Interior, and I have access to all the data inside the fortress. I can answer your question... We simply can't afford to support them.]

[Zhou Zhengde: Then why do we allow so many people to multiply in the lower city! ]

[My mother is forever young: Because human individuals are a resource. Including you and me, we must sacrifice for the tribe when necessary. I have a self-destruct chip installed in my neck to prevent the Mimic Blade Beast from stealing the fortress data.]

Zhou Zhengde threw the communicator on the table, raised his hand to cover his eyebrows, and leaned back in his chair.

Powerlessness.

Every conversation he had with his mother was filled with this feeling of powerlessness.

Unfortunately, he had no way to convince his mother, so he could only stick to the principles in the political textbooks.

Although Zhou Zhengde was sitting in the security office on the 13th floor at this moment.

But he seemed to have heard it;
The radio sounds of the fortress clearing troops advancing were heard.

……

"Zizi... All squadrons, the battle plan has been distributed to each team's command system. The goal is to wipe out the Black Fire Gang and kill all armed elements and life and mechanical entities that attack us. All squadron leaders report."

"receive."

"receive."

"Received, Commander! The fast downlink channel has been opened!"

"All squadrons, prepare to rappel according to numbers... Tell these warrior cubs not to look at the scenery of the lower city! This is another world of the fortress. It's like we would be disgusted if we saw the dissection of the human body's internal organs. This is the internal organs of the fortress."

"Received, drone swarm has been activated, mechanical vanguard has been activated."

"Received. Our unit will be the first to descend quickly."

"receive."

"Our unit is ready, and we will begin rappelling."

"Fly support forces to seize air superiority and do not sacrifice our warriors in operations inside."

"The battle for air superiority has begun."

Sudden.

"Zizi... Mu Liang? Mu Liang, can you hear me? Retreat quickly! The purge troops are here! They will kill all the militants in the designated area, or you'd better throw away your weapons first! I'm on the way to support you with the hired troops! Mu Liang! Answer me quickly if you hear me! You have killed a D-level psychic and two or three hundred militants! You can stop fighting now! Leave the rest to these brutal regular troops! Mu Liang! Mu Liang!"

"Zizi... Doctor Wei Na, this is the full-frequency command system. You are connected to the wrong channel. The communication unit on your helmet seems to be part of our equipment."

"Uh, sorry! Eh? Is that my ex-ex-ex-ex-boyfriend?"

Wei Na, who was riding her motorcycle down the winding road, immediately made up for it:

"I'm actually reminding you that there's one of our people down there. He can't stand what the gangs are doing, so he's... Exorcist."

Commander: "Continue to descend quickly, don't chat on the command channel! All captains switch to 99230! Wei Na! Get your new boyfriend out of that area quickly if he doesn't want to endure my jealousy!"

"Okay, okay, keep going."

On the motorcycle, behind the helmet, Wei Na's face turned visibly red.

It wasn't because she was shy, she hadn't felt this kind of girlish emotion for many years.

I'm just ashamed of my amateurishness.

She continued to call Mu Liang on the channel, and when she had to slow down on the road, she subconsciously looked towards the center of the 47th floor.

There was a huge noise.

Around her, the gang members shouted:
"Look!"

"Shit! It's cracked!"

"The regular army of the fortress! It's been more than 20 years! I see them again! The purge troops... the purge troops! Alas!"

"The area in the middle can be opened? No wonder we are not allowed to touch it!"

In the middle of the 46th, 47th and 48th floors, corresponding to the position of the central elevator shaft above the 45th floor, cracks appeared simultaneously. The giant fan blades were dislocated up and down, slowly rotating, and finally retracted into a circular frame with a diameter of 20 meters.

A 'patio' connecting vertically up and down has appeared.

At the edge of the patio, more than a dozen ropes made of high-strength materials quickly fell down.

Accompanied by a fierce buzzing sound, drones like a swarm of bees appeared in the center. Each drone was spherical in shape and equipped with short-barreled machine guns, micro missiles and other firepower units. Following closely behind were sixteen three-meter-tall all-terrain combat robots, which were covered with gun barrels and cannon barrels and were falling vertically along the ropes.

Soldiers wearing camouflage combat uniforms, tactical helmets and carrying tactical backpacks descended at a constant speed with the help of a rope-assisted system.

Drone swarms, combat robots, fully armed soldiers...

The eyes of the gangsters suddenly became extremely clear.

Wei Na couldn't help but swear and shouted hurriedly: "Mu Liang! Mu Liang! Mu Liang can you hear me! Is this communication system not working well?!"

Maybe it’s because there’s an upward and downward passage in the middle.

"Zi... Doctor Wei Na? Is that you?"

"This is the helmet's built-in communication system! Mu Liang, run! Get away from the Black Fire Gang! The farther away from the Black Fire Gang, the better!"

Wei Na shouted quickly:

"The purge troops are out suddenly! They can't tell if you're a gangster or not. If you have a weapon and dare to resist, you'll be shot! Go!"

"I've seen a lot of drones coming over here," Wang Jixuan's voice was a little windy, "Please help me contact the people at Wanlijin and ask Captain Zhou to do it. I owe Captain Zhou another favor. I need to take away a dozen children from there."

"More than a dozen?" Wei Na scolded, "So you have so many illegitimate children! Then why are you pretending to be pure in front of me!"

"These are some orphans. I think Central City should be able to give them some help."

Wang Jixuan warned:

"Remember, contact Wanlijin first, and don't put yourself in trouble just because of saving people.

"I can evacuate here. I will blow up the escape route of the Black Fire Gang's top leaders later... I am installing some booby traps in their escape route right now..."

"Okay, okay, if you still don't like to hear what others say, I'll contact them right away! You're the boss after all."

Wei Na complained.

In the tunnel, Wang Jixuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Does Wei Na mean that he is stubborn and self-willed?

He quickly dropped miniature grenades wrapped with thin wires.

There was no more sound in the helmet.

He looked reluctantly at the sniper rifle in his hand which he would return later, disassembled it, put it on his shoulder, and ran at full speed.

A few minutes later.

fire?
Wang Jixuan's spiritual sense suddenly noticed that there were rolling waves of fire in front of him.

He casually made a hand gesture, put his sword finger against his forehead, and chanted:

"The sky is round and the earth is square, the laws are nine chapters, the golden light appears quickly, protect my true body!"

A light golden film appeared around him.

Wang Jixuan raised his hand and slapped the edge of the corridor while running. His body seemed to be flying, and he rushed out along the slanting steps in front of him and crashed into a sea of ​​fire.

Wang Jixuan was stunned.

The whole cabin was burning.

He was about to rush to the second floor, but suddenly stopped.

He didn't sense any breath of living things.

The beam in the middle of the wooden house was about to fall down.

Wang Jixuan jumped out of the window, and after several jumps, he stood steadily on the top of a shed and looked around.

Thomas's car was also burning, and the air was filled with the smell of burning meat.

A white shadow appeared in Wang Jixuan's sight.

On the side of the bumpy cement road, the girl sat obediently next to a suitcase, her white dress looking like a lotus blooming in the dark night.

“Leaf…Leaf!”

Wang Jixuan jumped over, raised his hand to take off his helmet and held it in his right hand.

Ye Zi, who was in a daze, looked up, and there was a little more light in her lifeless pupils. She shouted excitedly: "Brother Tian!"

Wang Jixuan fell down, rushed forward two steps, then stopped subconsciously, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Ye Zi smiled and opened her arms to welcome him. When she got closer, she found that Wang Jixuan's face looked pale in the firelight, and she slowed down her pace nervously.

There was a bit of invisible blood on her clean little face.

"Welcome home, Brother Tian! The house is cleaned. You really came back to pick me up. Ye Zi will also do the housework diligently in the future!"

"Where are your brothers and sisters?"

Wang Jixuan's voice was trembling.

"They're gone." Ye Zi answered crisply.

"Where are your brothers and sisters?"

"They're gone!"

"What is gone! Answer me! What is gone!"

Wang Jixuan held the pistol in his right hand and pointed it at Ye Zi's forehead:
"Tell me! What do you mean by gone? Where did the evil spirit come from? What did you do? What did you do?"

"Brother Tian..."

boom!
A crater appeared at Ye Zi's feet.

Wang Jixuan's breathing was a little disordered, and his right hand and arm holding the pistol trembled uncontrollably. He suddenly turned around and ran into the darkness.

The light in his pupils was slightly broken, and his heart of Tao was constantly shaking.

"Brother Tian..."

Ye Zi's lips were trembling, and she couldn't help but shed tears. She covered her face and slowly squatted down.

"Can't we just go together... We won't be able to take care of them if we leave here... Ye Zi has helped you clean up, isn't Ye Zi good enough... Brother Tian... don't you want Ye Zi anymore... Brother Tian... come back..."

There was a roar from the burning hand-made car in the distance.

The wooden house collapsed with a series of crackling sounds.

The girl's sobs gradually turned into laughter.

The fire became even more intense.
