Chapter 672 Chapter 670 · “You don’t have to include me in the fire.”

 In biology, when mantises reproduce, female mantises will eat their mates.

However, some male mantises are willing to be such "victims". They face the blade and neither resist nor escape. Some zoologists believe that this is because the male mantis is exhausted and unable to escape. But some people believe that after the courtship activity is over, the male praying mantis has completed its only mission in life - to nurture the next generation.

 At this point, its survival is meaningless. If it can provide sufficient nutrition to the next generation, it can devote itself to passing on its genes.

 The page of the book closed with a "snap", and the white-haired young man stood up. His pale fingers rested on the "Entomology for 4-Year-Old Children" on the table.

 He removed the hot air machine and the ink on the red paper dried, revealing a pair of Spring Festival couplets with ink written on them.

　　First couplet: [I wish you happiness every day. 】

  The second line: 【Also wish me happiness every day. 】

 “Shua.” Lin Guang picked up the couplet and recalled the time when he wrote these two lines.

 He ​​can't write. This character was taught to him by a Dragon Kingdom player he captured. When he wrote it, he thought it looked pretty. Maybe he was very talented.

He heard that today is "New Year's Eve" in Luvis' world, which is equivalent to the Fuyuan Festival here. Every household writes Spring Festival couplets and sticks them on the door. He hopes that Luvis will be happy every day.

He walked through the empty corridor, with starlight shining through the floor-to-ceiling glass. In front of him was a corridor as deep as a transparent ventilation duct, like a distant skyline.

The City of God is not as lively and noisy as the gathering place, but more of a ridiculous illusion. In such a huge city, he would often feel like a part of himself was left behind for a certain day, unable to escape and constantly being lost.

At this moment, he suddenly felt deeply sad. Violet said it was "lonely". Because no one can hold his hand, no one can walk with him.

He turned his head. The screen hanging on the wall was still reporting the battle situation on the front line. It was already nine o'clock in the evening, and the screen was filled with bursts of light. At the forefront was an elite legion. Their **** cloaks fluttered in the wind, and blue defensive covers were raised. They were like waves rushing towards the city wall.

 “The beacon fire obeys the order—!”

 Sen Kelstia rushed to the front, his cloak flying, just like sixteen years ago.

However, next to him, there is no judge Tredia wearing goggles, no taciturn deputy lord Xia Sheng, no Cheng Luohe carrying a vermilion sniper rifle, and no Yao Wen wearing a shell necklace.

Time is like a wave, washing away countless companions, leaving only a few survivors with no one around them.

 “Boom—!”

The artillery fire exploded, and the deafening crackling sound spread across half of the battlefield. People raised their defensive shields and made a shrill scream as they faced the attack.

 As long as someone falls, someone will immediately take over, forming an everlasting and tight line of defense. Mori cut through the enemy's ranks like a **** sword and became one with his soldiers. Sen's headset kept transmitting sounds from various channels, which were instant orders issued by the twelve commanders overlooking the battlefield. At this time, everyone seemed to have one brain.

 In the sky, the battle between the powerful warriors was still going on, and Su Lin's flames dyed the night golden red. The fall of the four outer cities is inevitable.

Lin Guang glanced at the unfavorable battlefield on the screen and continued walking forward.

“My lord, [—you are the music, the sky, the palace, the rivers, the angels, the deep rose that God shows to my blind eyes, secret and without end].”

A soft female voice sounded, and Lin Guang paused slightly.

Violet leaned against the wall, curling her rose-dyed curly hair charmingly, and her floor-length red skirt was draped down like petals, revealing her smooth long legs. She is a player and has been working as Lin Guang's subordinate in the City of Gods. She has high emotional intelligence and is good at talking, so she has never been strangled to death by the unpredictable Lin Guang.

However, Lin Guang didn't even look at her, and walked on the ground with a "click" sound.

Violet sighed slightly.

"Sir, it's snowing tonight..." She looked out the window, which had been darkened by the night. This central building is made of floor-to-ceiling glass that provides an unobstructed view of the outside world. It is completely transparent, like a giant hexagonal diamond.

At this time, as soon as she raised her eyes, she could see the falling goose feathers of snow, which were floating outside the glass like twinkling stars. A light layer of snow had already fallen on the building below.

"My mother likes snow very much. She is from the Dragon Kingdom. Whenever it snows, she will sit in our imitation Dragon Kingdom garden all night and watch the snow fall on the branches. It seems that she can return to her hometown..." Wei Olette said softly.

Lin Guang still walked forward without looking back.

"So, I know that the upper and lower couplets of your Spring Festival couplets must at least have a symmetrical number of words." Violet's voice floated over.

Lin Guang stopped.

He immediately looked at the Spring Festival couplets in his hand. The two columns of characters were really different in length.

For a moment, Violet's eyes were filled with pity and sympathy. She felt that people like Lin Guang were an inevitable tragedy.

“… Spring couplets need to be symmetrical.” Lin Guang said: “That Dragon Kingdom player didn’t tell me this, I’m going to kill him.”

“If you kill players again, Lewis’s favorability will decrease again.” Violet said.

Lin Guang only realized this, and his thoughts were always slow.

Violet turned her head and looked at the heavy snow outside. The transparent glass is so transparent that it is almost invisible to the naked eye, and heavy snow seems to be drifting in along this glass.

The sky was dark and chaotic, with only half a cold moon floating among the sparse frozen clouds. The City of God was completely silent, the snowflakes were like blown away dandelions, and the white stars were whirling.

  She suddenly felt that this scene was beautiful - if she could not see the millions of lives lost on the battlefield. If you were to enjoy the snow alone in such a quiet city, you would be in a good mood. Such a snowy night may be the last night of the world...

"Lord Linguang, I want to say a few words to you." She said: "When people are born, people are classified into high and low. The launch of the War of Dawn was people's struggle and dissatisfaction with this 'injustice'. They longed for all People are treated equally and receive freedom and liberation. However, after you launch a nuclear explosion, the human race is destroyed, and everyone dies in the same way. At the last moment of life, everyone is 'equal'. Will they get punishment or reward?"

Her words fell to the ground and remained silent for a long time.

Lin Guang looked at her blankly.

"You haven't found happiness yet, you haven't felt 'love' yet." Violet said: "Those human beings have achieved enough happiness, some have descendants, some die hand in hand with their lovers, and some People shed their blood on the battlefield, did not despair of the final outcome, and fought until the last moment at six in the morning. If everyone died at the same time, but you did not feel happy, who would be the loser? Wouldn't you be the same? Where are the others buried with them?”

Lin Guang was silent.

"And, I remember..." Violet stood up straight and combed her hair behind her shoulders: "The City of God is like spring all year round, and it will never snow."

 Her eyes slowly moved and looked in the direction of Lin Guang: "Now, are you unable to control the warm weather?"

Lin Guang stopped looking at Violet and walked towards the depths of the corridor as long as the skyline.

Violet seemed to see a world of sorrow in him.

 Justice is originally a concept defined by human beings themselves, and even the criteria for judging the value of all things are determined by human beings themselves. Once this value judgment standard falls into the hands of one person, and selfishness is not restricted... it will lead to the birth of disaster and tragedy.

In Violet's eyes, Linguang is an unrestricted tragedy.

 …

“The inner city will enter a period of comprehensive defense. At present, there are sufficient survival resources. The herd of thousand-level alien beasts at 30 degrees east to north has been cleared, and the Originium Guards can go out from this direction.”

“Repeat, the city’s emergency defense is activated…”

Under the emergency live broadcast on the Doomsday City screen, hundreds of thousands of people were evacuating, and the lampposts cast uncertain shadows. There was almost no sound in the entire city except for people's footsteps.

Doomsday City is in the "Third Battlefield". Compared with the "First Battlefield", the underground Originium Battlefield, and the "Second Battlefield," the legion's fortified battle, the "Third Battlefield" is more conservative. Once the first and second battlefields are defeated, this place will become the hope after the nuclear explosion.

 Culture, art, armaments, and technology in the three fields, all human wisdom are preserved here. Even if the external battlefield is completely defeated, at least human beings will not lose traces of their existence.

 After a moment, there was a "click" and an announcement came:

“The city alert will be suspended for one minute. I will transfer to the **** department, Miss Luo Kelstia...”

The screen changes, and the face of the black-haired girl appears on the live broadcast interface:

"There are still nine hours until the final time of the nuclear explosion. If the nuclear explosion cannot be stopped, we are ready to survive the nuclear winter. Doomsday City is the largest main city of the freedom camp, and humanity still has sparks. In addition, the Wartime Investigation Department detected There are large traces of movement in the southeast direction. Please go out and avoid this direction. I will go here with the **** to clean up the enemy forces to prevent them from affecting the construction of the nuclear barrier."

She wanted to say something else, but a sharp shout came from beside her: "—There is no need to evacuate!"

 “Return to city alert below.” Yueyue said quickly, and her face disappeared from the live broadcast screen.

  She turned around, and between the buzzing giant computers, a middle-aged man wearing a military hat walked over. The emblem on the man's shoulder was the commander-in-chief. Now the commander-in-chief Tredia, Xia Sheng, Xi, and Noah are not here. This little commander is the one with the highest military rank in the city.

Yue Yue: "Commander Colby. There is no need to say such words when I relay the message, the people will fall into chaos."

"Don't worry about the Ministry of Military Intelligence's affairs." Colby said coldly: "This city is hopeless. The experimental team has just tested that the Originium barrier is not enough to stop the nuclear explosion, and the residual radiation is enough to kill the underground. 90% of people.”

Yueyue: "It doesn't matter, I want to save you."

"Commander Kelstia, please follow us to evacuate immediately." Colby said: "The other twelve commanders have decided to go to the edge of the world, where we will not be covered by nuclear explosions and we can still survive. Please Come with us and you are allowed to bring three family members or friends.”

Yueyue: "Let's go."

She stood up straight and put her hand on the hilt of the lightsaber: "If there are not even a thousand people left in a group, then this group is no different from extinction. You can go to the edge of the world to survive. But I promised him that I will stay here. This city.”

"Because of Asa Akto?" Colby said: "I admit that he is great. And it is precisely because of his actions that we must seize this buffer time to escape - we are the last firewood of civilization."

“Goodbye.” Yueyue walked towards the outside world without looking back, her slender figure casting a long black shadow under the light.

Her voice was like jade beads falling to the ground:

  “You don’t have to include me in the fire.”
