Forced to take the love route by a scumbag villain

Today is August 8, and it is also the ninth day since Meng woke up from this dream.

In nine days, he witnessed the completion step by step of the central tower in the center of the city that carried the last hope of mankind and the four auxiliary towers in the four corners of the city. However, he could only watch from a distance every time, whether it was the central tower or the four auxiliary towers. The tower is surrounded by very tight security. Not to mention walking up to see this doomsday spectacle, you can't even get close to it.

But today was different. Meng Xing had the honor to visit these five towers in person. Of course, it was not based on his own ability, but because of Wen Rulan's influence.

The end is coming. After the sun rises and sets for the last time on August 8, an unprecedented cold wave will sweep across the earth. The planet will become a frozen snowfield in eternal night, and all life will solidify under the ice and snow.

Fortunately, the debugging work on the artificial sun led by Wen Rulan has been basically completed, and only the final deployment is needed. Wen Rulan's job today is to go to the four auxiliary towers and the central tower to deploy the systems one by one.

After everything is ready, the government is preparing to officially launch the artificial sun at midnight tonight.

By then, the cold night will be driven away by the radiance of the artificial sun. There will be eternal night outside Noah's City, but inside Noah's City, it will always be bright daytime.

This is the miracle of the end times and a new era for mankind.

A new era full of light and hope.

Noah City began to empty out on the night of August 8th, and began to accept outside ticket holders on August 7th. Over the course of a day, the empty Noah City gradually became lively.

Wen Rulan's first stop today was the auxiliary tower in the northeast corner. Their entire research team, more than 20 people, were transported by a special vehicle sent by the government, accompanied by security personnel.

As a family member, Meng Xing boarded this special car. While the private car was traveling, he noticed that the streets were much denser than yesterday.

People were walking on the street. They had probably just entered the city, carrying large and small bags on their backs, and were preparing to go to the accommodation arranged by the government. Their faces are not the same, but they are filled with the same joy, hope and warmth.

Because they are lucky, they are qualified to survive in this doomsday screening.

But a few kilometers away, outside the edge of Noah's City, it was a completely different scene.

After all, Meng Xing was a non-staff member. Although he stepped on Wen Rulan's back door and entered the auxiliary tower in the northeast, he could only stay on the outside where core secrets were not involved.

Today we have to deploy all five towers. The time is tight and the tasks are heavy. There is no time to say anything. Wen Rulan briefly communicated with Meng Xing, and then led other researchers in the team into the internal control room of the auxiliary tower.

The control room was at the top of the tower, and Meng Xing was left in a lounge in the middle of the tower. The lounge is also equipped with an observation deck with floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides. Standing by the window and looking out, you can clearly see the entire Noah City.

Meng Xing was bored and wanted to go to the observation deck. The first thing he looked at was the direction of Noah's city. Just like what he saw on the way here, the empty city was filled with many small black spots, which were all people who had just entered the city.

They were smiling and joking with their companions from time to time, looking at the city they were about to settle in with curiosity and expectation.

But when Meng Xing walked to the other side of the observation deck, all he saw was the cold snowfield.

The white snowfield is divided by the high-voltage power grid, like an ugly and ferocious scar. When Meng Xing passed by the edge of the city yesterday, he only saw one layer of power grid, but today it has been laid with three layers.

The auxiliary towers are located at the extreme corners of Noah's city, and they themselves are the dividing lines of Noah's city. But beyond this heavy dividing line, there is also a protective line surrounded by triple power grids.

Each grid is approximately one hundred meters apart, and the outermost grid is a full kilometer away from the auxiliary tower.

Outside the outermost power grid, there should have been an equally empty snowfield, but Meng Xing now saw black spots that were many, many times denser than those in the city.

Those same people, desperate people, angry people, unhappy people.

The whitewashed peace is like a wall made of paper. It looks great and solid, but in fact, it has holes every time you poke it.

After Qi Ruiwen's speech yesterday, a large number of accounts were banned, which forcibly reversed the one-sided public opinion. But people are not puppets, nor are they dull machines. If they are blocked from speaking out, they can always find new ways to speak out.

Moreover, with countless solid evidences, Qi Ruiwen's false lies no longer have half the credibility. If yesterday's public opinion was just one-sided anger and dissatisfaction, today it is completely the opposite.

The act of banning accounts is nothing more than adding fuel to the fire. Although it has achieved temporary calm, it has further angered the people.

They contacted each other in various ways, and then gathered into groups and surrounded them outside Noah's city. The number of people was more than three times what Meng Xing saw yesterday. Therefore, in order to prevent them from rioting, the government tripled the protective grid.

The triple high-voltage power grid, as well as the armed soldiers guarding the power grid, temporarily brought the situation under control.

People protested and roared with dissatisfaction outside the power grid, but after all, they were frightened by the other side's force and it has not turned into a more serious violent conflict yet.

But it is only temporary. No one can say how long this confrontation can last.

Qi Ruiwen was also betting that he would never admit that lie or admit that the so-called fair screening was just a scam. Even if he openly and honestly explained the reasons for the behind-the-scenes operation yesterday, saying that for the long-term development of mankind, it was the right choice to keep the elite, but the ordinary people who were abandoned would not accept it.

There are people with lofty ideals in the world who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the righteousness, but most of them are ordinary people who are struggling to survive. No reason could convince them to accept the fate of being abandoned, so Qi Ruiwen could only lie.

He knew the consequences of lying and that the growing anger and desperation of the population could turn into horrific violent attacks. People in despair have no sense. After despair, all conscience and humanity are swallowed up, leaving only the malice that dies together.

Qi Ruiwen was betting on the military's defense capabilities. As long as they strictly guarded the last two days, no, it was less than two days, a little more than a day. After the sun sets tomorrow, the cold wave will come.

There is no longer any distinction in the world between those outside the city and those within the city, because those outside the city are no longer there.

As long as you hold on to these last thirty hours...

In fact, from the overall strength point of view, Qi Ruiwen has a high chance of winning, because although there are far fewer people in the city than outside the city, the number of soldiers who can fight is less than 100,000.

But they have the most advanced weapons, sufficient firearms and ammunition, and have built fortifications. They are well-trained soldiers with strict orders and prohibitions. The opposite is just ordinary people with no organization and no discipline.

What combat capabilities can these ordinary people have? They don't even have any firearms. They can only wave a kitchen knife dissatisfiedly twice. What can they actually do?

The assailant who used gasoline to attack the entrance to Noah's City yesterday was just a very special case, and the government has also strengthened protection and issued an order to proactively shoot according to the situation to prevent such an incident from happening again.

Logically speaking, Meng Xing doesn't need to worry too much, because the government's protection has been very good, but he still has uneasy worries.

Because of the ending written in the beginning, on August 8, Wen Rulan died at the end of the world.

According to Meng Xing's previous experience, things will definitely not be smooth sailing, and there will definitely be some unexpected changes. But before the changes actually come, he has no way to prevent and hide.

He could only wait, waiting for the moment when Tiandao really took action.

Meng Xing spent three hours in uneasy worry. It took three hours for Wen Rulan to finally deploy the auxiliary tower. When he came out of the control room, he was urged to take a ride to the next auxiliary tower before he could even talk to Meng Xing.

The artificial sun will be started at midnight, and it is already 11 noon. They have just deployed an auxiliary tower, and they are really pressed for time.

Meng Xing knew the importance, so he did not disturb Wen Rulan who was surrounded by colleagues discussing deployment matters. He just followed behind silently and got into the same car with Wen Rulan. Finally, like before, Wen Rulan led the team into the auxiliary He stayed in the control room of the tower while he stayed in the lounge.

The four auxiliary towers have the same shape and the same internal structure. The control room is also on the top floor, and the lounge is also equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows for easy viewing.

Meng Xing looked at the auxiliary tower in the southeast corner for a while. Just like in the northeast, there was still a triple power grid outside Noah City, and there were still dense crowds of people outside the power grid.

The crowd confronted the soldiers with guns through the electric fence, and the atmosphere seemed a little more tense than before. Amidst the roar, someone grabbed the snow on the ground, kneaded it into hard snow, and threw it at the soldiers inside the power grid.

This is not slapstick, it is a catharsis of despair, and the force of the snow throw is unreserved. Although the soldiers were wearing helmets and protective clothing, they were still injured and painfully hit by snow.

But they did not fire, because although their superiors issued instructions to fire according to the situation, it was also an extremely unavoidable situation. Shooting was equivalent to the beginning of a war, and it was equivalent to completely making enemies outside the city.

Once the gunshots are fired, public sentiment will become more furious and more difficult to control.

So they restrained, endured, and did not make any counterattack. They were just like a pine tree, guarding the border of Noah's city.

But they didn't fight back, and people didn't calm down or give up. The real source of their anger is not these soldiers, but the government that deceived them and took away their chance of survival.

But Qi Ruiwen hasn't made any public response since yesterday, whether it's a lie or the truth.

Because either of the two will intensify the conflict, but silence will also do the same.

With the experience of the first round, the auxiliary tower in the southeast corner was deployed a little faster, taking only two hours. Coupled with the time spent on the road, it was 2 o'clock in the afternoon when Meng Xing and his party arrived at the third auxiliary tower in the southwest corner.

Meng Xing was still left in the lounge. He looked outside the city. Someone was also throwing snow cubes in this direction. The soldiers were restrained and patient just like those on the southeast side.

But the level of violence escalated as time went by. Meng Xing noticed that someone began to destroy the outermost power grid. A gap soon appeared in the power grid. The soldiers discovered it in time. They tried to repel the crowd, but people still poured in through the gap. .

They rushed to the second power grid, and the defense line was pulled closer. The situation became increasingly tense, but the soldiers still did not fire.

Among the people confronting each other, Meng Xing suddenly saw an acquaintance. It’s not that we’re familiar with each other, we’ve just met each other.

Feng Ye was still wearing the black windbreaker, but no longer wore the hood. Meng Xing was a little surprised that he appeared here, but he didn't seem too surprised. Feng Ye, an outsider without identification, had no chance of being drawn, not to mention tickets, so he was not qualified to enter the city.

He stood among the protesting crowd, but he was outside the crowd. Because he was not as excited as the others. Others were crowding into the power grid through the gap, and he just followed unhurriedly at the end. He looked calm, observing everything in the dream calmly and rationally.

He said he was looking for an answer. What kind of answer was he? Did he find it?

Meng Xing wanted to ask Feng Ye again, but he just stood on the tower and watched from a distance without saying hello or going down to see him.

Because he had a premonition that they would meet again before the end came.

After another two hours of deployment, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the last of the four auxiliary towers, the northwest auxiliary tower.

Not counting the afternoon. In the apocalypse, the day is very short. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky has completely darkened.

At night, the vision was not as clear as during the day. Meng Xing could not see clearly what was happening outside the city, but he could see the figures gathering together and refusing to disperse.

Densely packed, overlapping shadows.

The doomsday is very cold, even colder at night than during the day, but people refuse to retreat, because all this coldness is not as cold as the despair of impending death.

But they were somewhat affected by the low temperature and were no longer as aggressive as during the day. The situation seemed to be a little better, and both sides remained calm and peaceful for the time being.

Until seven o'clock in the evening, when the last auxiliary tower was deployed, there was no trouble outside the city.

Only the last central tower was left, with five hours left. It was no longer in such a hurry, and Wen Rulan finally had time to talk to Meng Xing.

He left the team of researchers and came to Meng Xing's side. Before he could say anything, he heard a huge "bang" coming from the window.

It was gunfire.
