Chapter 754: seven hundred and fifty two

  Chapter 754 Chapter 752 · "This is Su Mingan's choice."

“According to the footage returned by the cruise drone, the inner city control building has been captured by our side, but the central political building has been taken back by the enemy.”

“With Kinmen Commercial Street as the center, there are at least a thousand enemy units hidden in the thirty-seven large buildings around it. If you rush in directly, you will suffer huge casualties.”

“The energy load has been overloaded and the defensive shield has insufficient energy supply. If we continue to fight, it will be a collision of blood and flesh.”

“So, please be prepared to die in battle.”

 In Doomsday City, in the large supermarket "Walmart", hundreds of soldiers wearing underground city uniforms gathered, and Su Xiaobi's virtual image loomed.

“So many people have died, and yet there has been no progressive breakthrough! In the end, we still have to die in battle?” After hearing Su Xiaobi’s words, Baird from the trial couldn’t help but complain.

He kept pacing, sighing as he walked. The generals on the side also frowned.

"Now the signal is suddenly interrupted, and all the communicators are out of service - we can't get any news out. We can only rely on the unknown 'Team Mu'. This person has not even appeared in person until now, just like a cyber ghost. Baird continued to complain: "If this continues, all of us will be directly divided and defeated."

Su Xiaobi didn’t speak, just looked at him lightly. The kaomoji on her head changed to: (=.=). Obviously very disdainful of him.

Just ten minutes ago, all signals in Doomsday City were suddenly interrupted. Baird and others speculated that this was the handiwork of God - He led the king into an urn, waited for all the soldiers in the underground city to land on the surface, and suddenly cut off everyone's communication, causing them to be confused and even unaware of their companions. s position.

"Human resources are already scarce, and fighting like this consumes a lot of people, but pensions are also a lot of expenses. Besides, artillery, bullets, cars, these energy supplies are all heating resources! It's all wasted." Borg, the deputy city lord of Antofa City, shook his head. He has always been pampered, but now he regrets it. He feels that it is better to stay in his home city.

 The atmosphere in the supermarket, which was full of stains and blood, was a little dull.

"I fight this war just to survive for my children and for the next generation of my old comrades-in-arms. But now I'm told that I'm still going to die. What's the point? At least you can live as a slave..." Baird Still complaining.

 At this moment, a person suddenly rushed out of the crowd.

Before Baird had time to see clearly, he was slapped with a "snap" sound, which stunned him.

"-If you say such depressing words in the middle of the battle, your grandma, I will give you a slap in the face!" As soon as Yamada Machi took back his hand, he learned from Lu Shu and scolded him fiercely: "What's the point of saying such words now? You have to be taken seriously. You can be your own slave and disturb the morale of the army here. If you are a soldier affiliated with Doomsday City, I will kill you now!"

“Yes, everyone, please talk nicely, there is still hope for help.” An Qi, the brown-haired player next to him, saw the situation and immediately smoothed things over.

“I heard the voice of God. He instructed us that we will definitely win this war...” Artemis, a Western European player, looked pious.

Baird snorted coldly and said nothing more.

“Report—we found traces of the officer!” At this moment, a soldier suddenly rushed into the supermarket and shouted.

 Suddenly, the supermarket erupted in noise, and people's eyes began to shine.

"Where is he?"

 “Where is sir?”

 “Where is Su Mingan?”

The soldier looked around cautiously, then whispered in Yamada Machi's ear:

“…Sir, the only church in the city. Commander Noel asked me to call you over.”

 “I understand.” Yamadacho nodded.

He motioned to everyone to wait in the supermarket, and he rushed into the rain alone, his body like a fleeing shadow. This was his main professional skill.

 Several players saw this, and a blond girl whispered:

"I heard that the gods have a device called an emotional resonance device. Su Mingan's condition may not be very good."

 “What do you want?” Han player Liu Enhao frowned.

“I want to protect him, maybe he can remember me.” The blonde girl said, she is a healing player.

Dragon Kingdom player Zhang Daoxuan touched his goatee and looked like a fairy: "If you want to help, just go and help. After all, there are too many people who want to harm him."

 Zhang Daoxuan's apprentice Zhang Xiaoqi said: "Master, why do so many people insist on targeting him?"

 Zhang Daoxuan laughed when he heard this.

"It's not that so many people have to target him. It's the one person out of ten who hates him who always comes in front of him, which makes us feel that many people hate him." Zhang Daoxuan touched his apprentice's head: "Let's go , let’s go take a look, maybe we can help him—after all, Gu Wu’s Lu Shu is gone, and we have to find someone else to befriend Su Ming’an.”

 …

 When Yamada arrived, the church was still quiet.

 He opened the door and found several people already standing here.

Players such as Lu, Higurashi, and Ruiying are still on the front line. Standing in the church are Noel, Violet, and Che. The three of them were bathed in the warm light of the church, like a golden painting.

 “What’s going on with Su Mingan?” Yamada Machichi asked.

"I... don't know either." When Noel said this, his expression was painful for a moment: "I simply can't... share the burden for him."

 He turned his body sideways and opened the door to the back room. Yamada walked in quietly and saw an extremely small room. Su Ming'an sat on a chair, with complex red and blue links connecting his forehead and temples, like entangled and cold snakes. His face was extremely pale, his eyelids were tightly closed, and cold sweat covered his side.

Yamada Machi glanced at this scene, turned around and said coldly: "What is going on?"

—Why did you make Su Mingan look like this miserable again?

—Didn’t you agree that Su Mingan’s mission has been completed?

"When I found this place, he had already begun to use the emotional resonance device. I tried to resonate with him, but failed. I am not suitable for receiving other people's memories. I get dizzy after just a few dozen seconds. I hate being someone else. Noel said: "His decision-making is correct, and we cannot let go of any information. He is the most suitable person to receive emotional resonance."

"So you won't stop him?" Yamada Machichi said: "Look at this time, Su Mingan has already started for two minutes. If it takes more than ten minutes, there will be irreversible damage, and if it takes fifteen minutes, he will die. Aren't you worried?"

“…” Noel glanced at Yamada Machichi with a strange look, as if he was looking at a novel thing:

 “Why stop.”

 “This is Su Mingan’s choice,”

"Yamada, you have no right to give up for him. All you can do is stay with him, or end him when he can't hold on, so as to prevent him from suffering before death."

 After saying this, Noel lowered his head and wiped the rose cane in his hand.

At this moment, Yamada Machichi suddenly felt that Noel, a teammate who had always been enthusiastic and cheerful, was actually not without a cold and rational side. Sometimes even cold to the point of cruelty.

"No wonder Lu Shu didn't like you during that time in Praia." Yamada Machichi whispered: "Everyone you look at is like an ant, and no one is angry."

 Noel’s expression did not change after hearing this, as if he acquiesced to Yamada Machichi’s words.

 There have always been conflicts within the team, but with Su Mingan around, it was not obvious. Once Su Mingan is unable to make a decision, several sharp contradictions will become apparent.

 The church was silent for a while. In the room, there was only Xi Qingqian's voice:

“…Xiaoshuai, you must stay awake in the end.”

“…Xiaoshuai, you have to remember who you are.”

 She kept holding Su Mingan's cold hand and murmuring in a low voice.

Even two minutes ago, Su Mingan chose to connect to the emotional resonance device alone. However, his teammates quickly arrived spontaneously and took the initiative to complete the work of protecting and assisting him.

"Yamada, Violet, you also have a mission." Noel looked at the two of them: "Now that the signal is cut off, please run errands throughout the city and notify players with healing or spiritual skills to come here and be on standby. Remember to Be honest. Don’t let the news out on a large scale. Not many people know that Su Mingan is here yet."

Yamadacho nodded.

 He glanced at Su Mingan for the last time, and when he turned around, he suddenly said:

"correct."

 “How is Noah?”

 He is a lover of golden hair. Back then, the golden-haired saint in the sky made his heart flutter instantly, and now Noah is no exception.

 He got no answer.

Noel didn’t speak, and neither did Violet.

It wasn’t until Yamada Machichi was about to walk out of the church that he heard Violet’s magnetic voice—

"he's good."

“He will see the spring that he and his white bird friends have bought with their lives under the sunny flowerbed behind the city.”

 …

 With a "click", the emotional resonance is turned on.

Su Mingan leaned on the chair and closed his eyes.

 There was a rustling, slight vibration rubbing against his auricles. Immediately afterwards, his five senses began to weaken, as if he had fallen into sleep.

A strange emotion surged from his heart. He lowered his head, and his vision also drooped - it was as if he suddenly entered Akto's body, and even his vision, hearing, touch, and emerging emotions began to... Similar.

 It turns out that watching Akto’s Memories is an immersive experience.

  【Everything started from the cataclysm of the century. 】

Su Mingan heard such a sound coming from his own mouth.

 He lowered his head and looked at his hands. These were Akto's hands. He was no longer a bystander. A strong emotion of sadness, regret, and despair rose from his body and grabbed his heart. This was Akto's emotion.

He raised his head slightly and accepted Akto's memory with all his heart - he needed to fully empathize with it and experience everything that Akto had experienced back then to ensure that he would not miss any clues.

 As long as he can escape from the memory in the end, it will be a perfect emotional resonance.

 …

  【January 1, the first year after the disaster】

  A picture began to appear in his field of vision, marking the date in the upper left corner.

 Asa Akto, to Su Mingan, became “you” rather than “he”.
