This game is too real.

Chapter 446 The Light That Destroys Everything

A truck speeds past the pass on the south side of Lost Valley.

Glancing at the mountain peaks outside the car window, Sisi, who was leaning on the driver's seat, finally heaved a sigh of relief and focused his attention on the front.

So far, the power of the nuclear bomb has been weakened by at least half.

"It's the last step."

After muttering silently in her heart, she stepped on the electric switch hard, knocked away a few nibblers wandering to the side of the road, and continued to drive forward along the path dug by the legion, heading straight to the center of the Lost Valley.

10 minutes ago.

She and Rourou loaded the nuclear bomb onto the truck, and then drove towards Lost Valley alone.

When the group entered the valley before, they had confirmed that there was a huge pit hundreds of meters wide and bottomless in the center of the Lost Valley.

Like a pothole left in a quarry.

Some kind of terrifying weapon directly collapsed the geological structure of this area, and caused the rock dike several kilometers away to uplift. The battlefield of the last era should be under that tunnel. .

In order to explore the inside of the tunnel and transport the excavated earthwork at the same time, the Legion dug a circular dirt road along the funnel-shaped slope, just enough to accommodate two vehicles passing in parallel.

Following this dirt road all the way down, and seeing that it was about to approach the very center of the tunnel, a jeep that broke down on the side of the road suddenly appeared in front of Sisi.

Before she was surprised why there was a car here, two heads popped out from the back of the jeep, and then a pistol and a submachine gun were aimed at her.

"Don't move!"

"Stop the car! Put your head in your hands!"

The faces of the two were full of nervousness and apprehension. It was obvious that they were officers of the legion, and their status was not low.

Sisi stepped on the brakes to stop, but he didn't listen to the request of the two, and didn't even get out of the car. He just smiled lightly and joked with his arms on the car window.

"Guess what's in my car?"

It's almost time to send it to this position, there's no need to throw it in the center, so she didn't panic at all, and looked at the two people in front of her with interest.

Seeing that the man didn't put his gun in his eyes at all, and still had a calm expression on his face, McClenn couldn't help but stunned, and asked subconsciously.

"... What are you pretending to be?"

Sisi didn't talk nonsense, opened the door and got out of the car.

Ignoring the two guns, he walked straight to the back of the truck, and pulled the nuclear bomb out of the truck with a whoosh.

The gray-black nuclear warhead is surrounded by a ring of aluminum alloy brackets, and the fracture seems to have been pulled directly from the plane.

The moment they saw the nuclear bomb, the faces of General McLennan and the officer next to him turned pale.

Seeing the expressions on their faces, Sisi breathed a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, the more you worry about something, the more likely it will happen.

This thing really has a self-destruct mechanism to prevent it from being captured by the enemy.

Otherwise, there's no need for them to run into this dead end, and there's no need for them to turn pale with fright after seeing this thing.

With trembling lips, McKellen looked at her and said.

"Are you crazy?"

"Crazy? How come, I saved at least tens of thousands of people just now, okay?" Sisi rolled his eyes, looked at the officer with a high status in front of him and continued, "By the way, I found a number keyboard on the nuclear bomb , should be used to enter the password, do you know the password?"

McLennan said with difficulty.

"...Only the pilot knows."

"That's a pity, he's already dead." Sisi shrugged and continued, "By the way, the battle outside is over, do you want to surrender?"

Glancing at the nuclear warhead on the ground, McLennan said with a wry smile.

"Does it still make sense?"

"I don't know, just give it a try," Sisi shrugged, "but if you continue to delay, you will definitely have no chance to live."

Looking at the indifferent expression on that face, McLennan gritted his teeth, but finally he still didn't muster up the courage to face death.

He didn't know why the guy in front of him was not afraid of death.

But if he could live, he didn't want to die.

Lowering the gun in his hand, McLenne whispered.

"Please take me out of here..."

Although the word surrender was not uttered in the end, the slumped expression obviously gave up resistance.

The corner of his mouth slightly turned up, Sisi returned to the driving seat, and started the truck skillfully.

"boarding."

……

On the other side, somewhere in the valley.

Seeing the tentacles getting closer, Luo Yu became extremely nervous.

Standing not far behind him, Baige smiled softly and said in a pleasant manner.

"Don't be afraid, it won't eat you, it's just that it hasn't seen a living person for so many years, it's a little curious."

What are you curious about?
Taste or texture?

After hearing this explanation, Luo Yu became even more nervous, and couldn't help but take a step back, avoiding the tentacles that quietly reached out to his forehead.

"It... what's the situation? Is it also symbiotic?"

"That's not true, it's the matrix."

"Matrix?!"

Looking at Luo Yu who was dumbfounded, the man whose head was like a piece of rotten wood continued to speak in a gentle tone.

"That's right, but you don't have to be so afraid. Even people can be divided into good and bad. Mutant slime mold is a kind of 'social animal' that has evolved a social division of labor. Of course, there can be two concepts of good and bad."

"Of course, this is just for your convenience. A more rigorous statement is that the dry environment in the desert makes life very difficult for the slime molds here. They don't have enough nutrients to breed huge broods and cultivate powerful evolutionary bodies to help the population hunting, and there are no organisms around for them to hunt. Therefore, some mutant slime molds have evolved special abilities over a long period of time."

Luo Yu swallowed.

"... Symbiosis?"

The white pigeon nodded happily.

"Yes."

Luo Yu thought of Butch.

The man wrapped in the tin can like a medieval knight.

He was lucky enough to see that guy take off his armor, almost his whole body was occupied, those slime molds only left him a brain that was not working at all.

According to Heya, if he doesn't rely on special drugs to suppress it, that guy may become a slime mold puppet at any time.

Should that count as parasitism?
Luo Yu asked nervously.

"I don't understand, is there any difference between symbiosis and parasitism?"

The white dove answered with a cheerful voice.

"Of course there is a difference. One is non-aggressive and the other is aggressive. One is to prosper with the host, and the other is to squeeze the last bit of nutrients from the host and then change to another host to continue squeezing."

"The slime mold evolved from the No. 7 oasis site belongs to the former. It can make you invulnerable to all diseases, live forever, gain a strong body and ability, and don't need to abandon your genes. This is much safer than awakening."

"As a symbiont, it will not sacrifice the host's health, but absorb trace elements, organic matter and water from the host's metabolites. You can understand it as a special... vaccine! As long as you are inoculated with it, you will You can get a stronger body!"

"How? Young man, do you want to try?"

The persuasive voice sounded like the whisper of a devil, and once he agreed, he would sign a contract with some kind of "evil power".

Luo Yu admitted.

It does sound appealing if it could turn into a tentacle monster.

Two hands to operate the aircraft, how can ten hands micromanage awesome? !

But if it fits with a tentacle monster, it's another matter.

And this guy himself has turned into such a ghost, Luo Yu always feels that what he said is not convincing at all.

If the price of becoming stronger is to become ugly, then he would rather practice leveling honestly.

However, out of curiosity, he still asked.

"What about the price?"

White Pigeon smiled and continued.

"The price is—"

The voice has not fallen.

Xiaohong suddenly looked around uneasily, but before it could react, the tremors of the earth shaking and the mountains shaking came from under the feet of all the "people".

Baige's face changed wildly.

However, before he could utter a single syllable, the surging sand, dust and gravel instantly engulfed all the "people" in the ruins...

At the same time, another world.

Luo Yu, lying flat on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes.

In front of you is a pop-up window saying that the connection has been disconnected.

The countdown of the resurrection CD has already started, and the game character is obviously cool.

Taking off the helmet covering his head, he sat on the bed for a long time before swearing like he came back.

"I boil it!"

What is the price? !

……

The nuke went off after all.

And not long after it was off the truck and pushed down a steep slope.

A beam of light lit up the silent valley.

The scorching fireball was like the sun rising from the horizon twelve hours earlier, instantly lighting up the night sky covering the valley.

The violent airflow and shock wave were like raging waves, beating against the mountain that buried the embankment, and even the ground was shaking in that terrifying energy.

In the barracks outside the valley.

The soldiers and officers of the legion had given up resistance and surrendered with their hands raised above their heads.When they saw the blooming light, almost everyone's faces were filled with despair.

The horses galloping in the barracks paced their hooves uneasily, and the cavalry on the horses held the reins, trying to stabilize the horses' emotions.

The captain of Thain's personal guard looked at the light that lit up in the Lost Valley in amazement, his eyes flickered with bewilderment and fear, and he kept muttering to himself.

"……prophecy!"

That person is indeed the messenger of the gods!
The doomsday prophecy has finally been fulfilled!
But it is consoling that the light that burns everything does not shine on the soil of civilization, but in the lost ruins.

……

At the same time, the western front of the battlefield.

As the dazzling white light came on, the gunshots resounding through the wilderness also stopped abruptly.

Looking at the sky lit up by the nuclear explosion and the dust that almost rushed into the sky, people forgot to fight for a while, and expressions of astonishment and astonishment were printed on their faces.

The world seemed to hit the pause button.

Only the shaking of the ground and the reverberation of the explosion remained.

It was like the roar of the gods.

"...The spirit of the sand sea is above."

A soldier of the Falcon Kingdom had pale lips, trembling shoulders, and the gun in his hand slid down on the sand with his knees.

His case is not alone.

Including the ten officers and other grassroots officers, many of them lost the courage to continue fighting when they saw the light of the nuclear explosion blooming in the rear position.

hundreds of meters away.

Below the reverse slope of the dune.

Sion, who was bandaging his gunshot wound, also saw the shining light.

Several guard soldiers immediately stood in front of him, but they were dispersed by him with a wave of his hand.

"Priest Priest said that those who wither under the curse cannot see the curse." Thain continued with a hearty smile, "We can see the light, which means we can't die."

"That's a curse on sinful people, the gods are on our side!"

He raised his arms and shouted, inspiring the soldiers who fought side by side.

"Long live the Hump Kingdom!"

The sudden nuclear explosion caused a momentary pause on the battlefield.

Facing the direction of the light from the nuclear explosion, devout believers knelt on the ground to pray, while the rest of them lay or squatted at a loss, undecided whether to continue the fight.

The shock wave of the explosion seemed to have swept far away, but luckily it didn't reach them.

The favor of the "gods" seemed to protect them once again...

the other side.

The tank troops of the Skeleton Corps did not stop after reaching the airport on the north side of the Lost Valley, and continued to advance westward to reinforce the Petra Fortress friendly forces who went out of the city to face them.

There is no suspense about the outcome of the entire battle, and it can even be announced that it has entered the stage of cleaning the battlefield.

The military camp on the north side of Lost Valley has been taken by Petra's cavalry, and the Legion has lost almost all of its armor in this area.

The remaining infantry to the west had no further reinforcements.

It only takes a few righteous 155 rounds, enough to make them throw up their hands and surrender.

And just as the light of the nuclear explosion was blooming, a Conqueror 5 tank carrying the Union flag was driving staggeringly to the east of the airport.

The hatch opens upwards.

The bandaged mole poked its head out, looked in the direction of the Lost Valley, and opened its mouth wide in surprise.

"...Fuck."

Hearing the fuss, the driver of the car yelled.

"What's going on outside? I can't see it from here!"

"Nuclear bomb..." Mole swallowed, and added later, "Oh my god, that nuclear bomb seems to have exploded!"

If you don't count the small one in the northern suburbs of Qingquan City, this is the first time he has experienced a nuclear explosion up close.

The overwhelming coercion is really no small matter, but the power of the explosion seems to be less than he imagined.

Is this thing really a million tons?

Or because of the explosion in the valley, the power was weakened...

"Fuck?!"

Hearing that a nuclear bomb had exploded ahead, the advancing tanks stopped for a moment.

There was a sound of ding ding bang bang bang, the driver hurriedly opened the hatch cover, watched the excitement and rushed out, excitedly looking forward.

"let me see!"

……

At the same time, at the edge of the nuclear explosion area, there were heart-piercing cries.

"quick--!"

"Hurry up!!"

"Ahhh! I'm going to catch up!"

McLenne, who was lying in the rear compartment, screamed in shock and squeezed desperately towards the front of the car, trying to keep himself farther away from the center of the explosion.

His adjutant was lying on the other side of the carriage, with his head in his hands, his eyes closed, and he was babbling about who he was praying to.

Both had already put on radiation protection suits.

Not only did he wear a protective mask on his head, but he also took two anti-radiation agents, but he still couldn't withstand the threat of death that was close at hand and the fear that penetrated into the bone marrow.

Sisi, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was fairly calm, but seeing the white light printed in the rearview mirror, a drop of cold sweat still rolled down his forehead.

The truck she was driving had almost just rushed out of the col on the north side of the valley, when the dazzling white light and the sound of explosions chased after her.

He didn't dare to look behind him.

Gritting the crown tightly, the soles of her shoes were almost welded to the switch, and she rushed to more than 60 yards on the bumpy and rugged dirt road!

The scorching shock wave carried the turbulent dust, almost blowing into the compartment.

The open col on the south side seemed to be a vent for the shock wave, and dust and gravel rushed forward from behind her.

Fortunately, the center of the explosion is located below the surface.

If it exploded on flat ground, I'm afraid they wouldn't even feel the pain, and everyone would have turned into molten iron and waste together with the truck below them...

North side of the airport.

Tail standing on the dune, holding a telescope in his hand, looking at the valley surrounded by night to the south.

When she saw the white light glowing, she couldn't help but let out an exclamation.

"I'm Giao! The nuclear bomb really went off!"

"Fortunately, we caught up." Sesame Paste heaved a sigh of relief, and finally let go of his tightly clenched right fist.

Tail suddenly looked at her suspiciously and asked.

"But why is there no mushroom cloud?"

"Only in the case of an airburst will there be a mushroom cloud... probably?" Sesame Paste replied in an uncertain tone.

Rourou who was standing aside was still moaning, his depressed look was clearly feeling sorry for the ruins in the valley.

Sesame paste was about to comfort her.

At this time, a truck rushed out of the billowing dust and drove towards the airport from the north side of Lost Valley.

The truck stopped.

As soon as the crowd gathered around, two people rolled down from the rear compartment.

The two of them pulled off their protective masks, and before getting up from the ground, they put their hands on the ground and vomited.

Seeing the two throwing up heavily, Sesame Paste, who was walking up to greet his teammates, stopped unconsciously, looked over there suspiciously and asked.

"Who are these two?"

"McLen, and his adjutant..." Jumping off the driver's seat, Sis glanced at the two people on the ground, "I just found out."

Tail's eyes lit up, and he looked excitedly at the middle-aged man who slowly got up from the ground.

"Oh! Are you General McClane?"

Rourou clenched the bear's claws tightly and shouted excitedly.

"Awei! We caught a big fish!"

"Oh!!"

The pale-faced McLenne was slightly stunned. He didn't know the person and the bear in front of him, let alone why the bear could speak.

However, he still has the self-consciousness of being a prisoner, knowing that being honest will save him a lot of suffering, so he opened his mouth cautiously.

"I'm McLenne... are you?"

Tail: "Tail!"

McLenne: "...?"

Looking at the blank face, Sisi suddenly raised a black-bellied smile at the corner of his mouth, and said thoughtfully.

"Speaking of which, when we were in Ruigu City, Ah Wei was the one who released that balloon."

Tail nodded excitedly: "Yeah! That's right! In order to raise the balloon higher, it took me and Sesame paste a lot of effort!"

Sesame paste smiled a little embarrassedly.

McLenne didn't even look at her, though.

The moment he heard the word balloon, his eyeballs bulged as if they were inflated.

Staring at the proud guy with murderous eyes, he stretched out his index finger tremblingly, his face turning blue and turning pale.

"That balloon...you did it?!"

Not paying any attention to the gaze that wanted to strangle him to death, he nodded his head triumphantly.

"Yeah, that's right! You're welcome!"

McLenne almost spat out a mouthful of old blood, wishing he could rush up and strangle her.

"do not move."

Appreciating the collapsed expression, Sisi shook the pistol he had just seized in his hand, and politely reminded him.

"Don't forget that you are a prisoner now, so be honest if you don't want to die."

It was so embarrassing to be chased in Ruigu City back then.

Now it's revenge.

……

9 Oasis West.

The command post of the regiment is stationed.

A "Saber" fighter jet landed on the runway of the airport.

Looking at the pilot who jumped out of the cockpit, an officer followed the footsteps of the ground crew and walked forward, asking anxiously.

"Where's the H-55 you escorted?"

The pilot replied curtly.

"We're under enemy air attack! The H-55 lost one of its engines during takeoff."

The officer's face changed drastically, and he asked quickly.

"What about the nuclear bomb?"

The pilot bit the bullet and answered truthfully.

"on the airplane……"

While the pilot was reporting the situation, the officers at the frontline command post had learned about the situation on the frontline from other sources.

command account.

Griffin, standing in front of the radio, was silent for a long time without saying a word.

About ten minutes later, he turned and returned to the command table, stared at the strategic map twice, and ordered in a deep voice.

"Notify the 3th team of the Falcon Kingdom...Be sure to defend the line until the reinforcements arrive!"

"The 3th team finished its rest and moved to the north side of the [-]th team for defense."

Reinforcements from companies and alliances are arriving in Luoxia Province one after another.

With the support of the Heart of Iron, the No. 9 oasis must be unable to defend. It is the best choice to retreat to the No. 3 oasis to organize defense and lengthen the opponent's supply line.

He will ask His Excellency the Legion Master for more reinforcements.

Hearing General Griffin's order, the officers standing at the command table looked at each other in blank dismay.

An officer couldn't help but reminded.

"The [-] team just took part in the battle against the Harvest City a few days ago. They suffered heavy losses in personnel and equipment, and their combat effectiveness may be less than [-]%. I'm worried—"

Griffin glanced at him.

That cold look made the officer shut his mouth immediately, not daring to say another word.

Looking back at the map, Griffin continued concisely.

"The rest of the ministries are transferred to the No. 3 oasis. All equipment and supplies that can be taken away are taken away, and those that cannot be taken away are burned on the spot."

The adjutant standing aside asked.

"Where's McClane?"

Griffin fell into silence, and there was a hint of complexity in his cold eyes.

He has fought with that arrogant guy for half his life.

Although he wished that the guy would get out immediately, but leaving the stage in this way still made him feel sad.

He swears.

I will definitely avenge this!

Throwing his hat on the map in command, he turned and left the camp.

"Fly the flag at half-mast for him."

Behind him, the commander's account was completely silent.

After a long silence, it was unknown who took the lead, all the officers took off their hats and dragged them in their palms.

A pair of pupils were burning with flames.

That's the spark of hatred...

……

at the same time.

Chu Guang, who was in command at the front line, also learned of the battle situation near the No. 7 oasis site through the channels of Xiao Qi and the official website forum.

And when Chu Guang heard that the 11th Falcon Kingdom team stationed at the airport was actually directed by McClenn, he froze for two seconds.

This is really...

What a coincidence.

"What about people?"

Xiao Qi: "It has been controlled by your players."

Chu Guang nodded.

It's good not to die.

These can be used as bargaining chips on the table before devolving into all-out war.

Neither the alliance nor the enterprise can go to the west coast, which is [-] kilometers away. This is neither in the interests of the alliance or the enterprise, nor is it the war goal of both parties.

For the alliance, the most optimistic situation is to get a sum of war indemnity from the legion or the vassal of the legion, and then take a few younger brothers in Luoxia province.

Maybe the Corporation would be willing to share the secrets of Vault 0 with him, but he wouldn't be too disappointed if he didn't.

After all, he never pinned his hopes on that legend.

"Where is the nuclear bomb?" Chu Guang immediately asked the question he was most concerned about.

Xiao Qi said in a low voice.

"It was detonated by the Legion...but your player sent the nuclear bomb into the underground tunnel of the Lost Valley, and it seems that no one was hurt."

Chu Guang's expression was slightly astonished.

exploded?

"what happened?"

Noticing the change of expression on Chu Guang's face, Vanus cast him a questioning look.

Finod, who was standing not far away, also looked at this side nervously, trying to figure out what stage the war had reached.

No matter which side wins.

As long as he enters into the ceasefire negotiations, he has the hope of returning home.

Chu Guang didn't speak, and cast his gaze out of the French windows of the bridge, looking at the sun that was getting farther and farther away at the end of the horizon.

If only I could get that nuke.

Even if you don't use it in your hands, it can still make the legion fight against the mouse, and you can't let go of your hands and feet on the battlefield.

but now……

The situation is a little more complicated.

……

The Great Rift Valley, the city of origin.

In the spacious conference hall, there was a long conference table carved from obsidian, and two people sat in front of the long table.

The person sitting at the head of the conference table was about 60 years old, his temples were covered with hoarfrost, his face was covered with vicissitudes, and the criss-crossing ravines looked like cracks in a canyon.

Those slightly closed eyes seemed to be thinking about something.

As if worried that he was falling asleep, the tall man sitting at the other end of the long conference table reminded him blankly.

"Even the nuclear bomb was used."

He was wearing a silver-gray uniform. The straight fabric was as smooth as a mirror without any wrinkles.

Hearing the word nuclear bomb, the old man's eyebrows moved slightly, but there was still not much reaction.

"Ah."

"It's really getting too much."

"Ah."

"Do you only know this sentence?" The tall man's voice was a little unhappy.

The old man sighed softly.

"I need time to think."

"Thinking? Is the black and white contract no longer counted?"

The tall man chuckled, with a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

"By the time you think about it, we're probably going to have another world war in the garbage."

The old man sitting on the chair sighed, and finally opened his lowered eyelids.

Looking at the tall man sitting across from him with cloudy pupils, he said in a calm and gentle tone.

"This is where the complexity of the problem lies. Our civilization is on the verge of collapse, and any small mistake may destroy the last hope. And...don't always use that irrelevant tone, It will become like this, so your college has no responsibility at all?"

"Of course, we made a serious mistake and chose to trust a group of idiots who think with their fists. What's even more stupid is that I just wasted another 5 minutes of my life trying to convince an old man with a dull mind." The tall man With a sarcasm, he lowered his arms that were wrapped around his chest.

The figure gradually faded, and finally turned into a phantom, dissipating in a piece of light particles.

That's a hologram.

Facing the empty conference table, the old man fell into a long silence.

At this time, the electronic sound of AI floated in his ears.

"...The envoys from the south are asking for a meeting. They claim to be an alliance and want to negotiate with us about the secret support of the Legion by the Buguera Free State."

alliance……

I seem to have heard the name.

When is it coming?

Stretching out his index finger and pinching the space between his eyebrows, the old man couldn't remember clearly.

Since the era of prosperity came to an end, too many strange things have happened in this land.

From the king of the kingdom to the chief of the tribe, and all kinds of weird organizations and ideas... They are like matches struck in the dark, they come and go quickly, and the only use is to burn your fingers black , and then I know it hurts.

But in the end the old man decided to meet the young juniors.

"Invite them to the lounge, I'll be there in a moment."

The AI ​​assistant replied with a gentle electronic voice.

"Okay, Mr. Chief."
