Nirvana Rebirth

his shoulders.

The mercenaries could hardly believe that this gun had been abandoned for many years, and it could neither be repaired nor returned to the factory. At first, they just wanted to use it as scrap iron for some money. After a few strokes, the gun was fixed!

"25 gold coins." A-Ka said.

The mercenary hurriedly took out money to pay.

Aka glanced at the Tsar sitting in the corner, the Tsar just smiled to himself, Aka wondered if the Tsar could see his ability, but no matter whether he saw it or not, Aka felt that he couldn't talk too much .And Paixi's dream—Aka tried to communicate with Paixi several times, but couldn't get a result, so he had to put it on hold temporarily.

As time passed, Akka and Paisi worked in the Tsar's shop for nearly a week.At first, the customers who came to the store were all mercenaries with fierce faces, but they were a little surprised to see Aka and Paixi.They didn't treat Aka very well, but they were very polite to Paisie, and even tipped Paisie before leaving.

A-Ka took all the money, and the Tsar would pay A-Ka more or less every day according to the turnover, and A-Ka gave all the money to Paisi for him to manage.

The two of them basically had no money to spend. While repairing firearms for the Tsar, Aka couldn't help but think of his once treasure-Robot K.At that time, he worked very hard to save parts every day, and in the end they all disappeared.From here, A-Ka thought of the robot that suddenly appeared in front of him that day when he and Heishi escaped from the city of steel.

Who is controlling K?A-Ka was thinking, while dealing with the bursting machine gun in his hand. After repairing it a few times, he thought of Heishi who escaped with them.Heishi doesn't know how he is doing now, is he in danger?

In the evening, he planned to ask Pai Xi to contact Fei Luo and ask about the situation of Black Stone.

It was very cold outside today, the door was closed with heavy snow, and the snow in Phoenix had a pungent sulfur smell, and the snowflakes that fell were all gray, and the polluted snow piled up in front of the door.Akka assembled a small autonomous snowplow robot and let it clear snow outside his door.

In Phoenix, private research on robots is forbidden.But the boundaries are very blurred. Humans and clones cannot live without mechanical devices. Most of the mechanical bodies that can operate by themselves, the rebel patrols will turn a blind eye.

Aka was fine anyway, so he used the discarded parts in the Tsar's shop to assemble something by himself.If possible, he still wants to make another K.Now it is not for escape, and he does not need to fight, but the innate yearning for steel and machinery in his body makes him unable to bear these thoughts.Making a robot is like playing with building blocks. It is ever-changing and full of fun, especially when the device you make moves, there is a kind of joy and joy of the creator...

While thinking about this, the bell outside the main entrance rang.

"Closed," said A-Ka, "Come back tomorrow."

The door was pushed open, and a tall man walked in, like a mountain, wearing a rebel cap, looking down at A-Ka.

"Where's the Tsar?" When his voice sounded, the whole store trembled. Patsy, who was peeling potatoes in the kitchen, was startled, and the cups and plates rattled.

"He..." Aka looked at this man anxiously, as if he was talking to a giant Ancarus bear.He pointed to the inside and said, "It's inside."

"Oh, Grizzly," the Tsar was leaning against the door with a glass of whiskey and a cigarette in his mouth. "Welcome. I thought you had died in the City of Steel."

A-Ka frowned slightly, and when he heard this long-lost place name, he couldn't help but glance at the man named Grizzly.Grizzly said: "This damn winter will never end, I've had enough!"

Grizzly took off his army coat, threw it down the stairs, and landed on Paisy's bed, showing his strong muscles, almost bursting his shirt.It was the first time for A-Ka to see such a burly and majestic man, with a height of 190 centimeters. Even the strong Heishi paled in comparison when standing in front of him.A grizzly is as big as two grown men.

Grizzly drank a big gulp of whiskey, his face flushed red: "An outsider joined the secret operation team, you don't know what they found in the ancient heart! Although the revolution failed, but according to the information provided by that man,' Father's rule is about to come to an end! That man... they call him 'Savior', they think he is the key to the end of 'Father' left behind by the ancient gods, he is in the ancient heart..."

Aka couldn't help stretching his neck, curiously listening to the conversation between the Grizzly Bear and the Tsar.The door of the room was open, and the Tsar glanced out, just in time to see Akka's expression.

"Tsar, may I use your magnetic welding coil?" Aka asked a little embarrassed.

"You can do whatever you want," the Tsar said lazily, "but don't try your new weapon in my shop. If you want to use it, take it to the river behind the alley."

A-Ka nodded and began to assemble his mechanical arm. When he wanted to eavesdrop on something, the Tsar walked to the door and closed the door. A-Ka could no longer hear their conversation.

Aka always felt that the atmosphere was a bit wrong recently. The Tsar no longer went out, and the investigation outside gradually became stricter.Early one morning, a mercenary came over and said, "Hey, boy, is that kid in Lane No. 16 your brother? He was detained by the guards."

Aka immediately put down the work at hand and went out, and found that there were many guard posts on the street.Pai Xi held an electronic crutch for the blind in his hand, raised his head in confusion, and held a bag of bread in his other hand.

Aka said: "He is my younger brother!"

"Don't walk around outside." The clone sentinel glanced at him, returned the bread to Paisi, took another shoulder patch, and asked, "Who gave it to you?"

"My dad," Patsy replied.

The epaulette Feiluo gave him has been kept in his close pocket, and the clone sentinel smiled and said, "Interesting. Are you the son of a clone?"

"Let's go." A-Ka looked at the sentinel vigilantly, took Paisi's hand and went back.The sentinel said: "General Maxey will come back for inspection in a few days. If you don't want to cause trouble, just stay at home obediently and don't go anywhere."

"What's going on outside?" Akka asked the Tsar when he returned.

The tsar was lying on a chair, his booted feet were resting on the round table, his hat was covering his face, and a voice came from under the fedora: "Maxie is here for a parade, speech, pre-war mobilization..."

"Is that the person in power here?" Aka asked.

"One of the three people in power." The Tsar lazily said, "The clone regime wants to counterattack, mobilize everyone, and attack the city of machines."

Aka said: "It failed only once."

The Tsar said: "People in Phoenix City are in a state of panic. At a time like this, one must find something to do."

Aka didn't ask any more questions.At night, the Tsar hummed the military song "Black Earth" of the rebel army, which Akka had heard Firo sing several times.There was a curfew in the city, the lights were turned off early, and the room was completely dark. After A-Ka fell asleep, he heard the knock on the door and got up sleepily, but Pai Xi fumbled to open the door first.

"Who?" Aka asked.

The Tsar seemed to be waiting, and said, "Come in."

The man put something on the counter in the dark, went straight into the Tsar's reception room, and closed the door behind him.A-Ka turned on the light and saw a long-range sniper rifle on the counter.

He began to test the guests, thinking that they might be some kind of friend of the tsar, and looked around curiously, wondering if the visitor had brought any news from the mainland.But the Tsar shut the door tightly so that nothing could be heard.A-Ka didn't sleep well that night, and with the disturbance from the grizzly bear's visit last night, A-Ka didn't sleep well for two consecutive nights.And the next morning, just before dawn, he was awakened by the noise outside.

People thronged through the streets, cheering as the leader of the rebel army was coming.A-Ka pushed open the window and looked out, the streets and alleys were crowded with people, all walking towards the square.Some people brought flowers, some people brought food, scrambling to the square, waiting for the legendary figure to arrive in Phoenix.

There have never been so many people in Phoenix like today, as if celebrating a grand holiday.

The sound of fireworks was deafening, Aka closed the doors and windows, and the first thing he did was to see the guests who came last night.

The guests were not there, and the Tsar was still asleep. Pissy said, "Are you looking for the man who came yesterday? He brought us something to eat."

There was a box of fresh fruit on the table with drops of water on it. Paisi said, "He got up this morning, and after washing the fruit, he told us to eat it, so he went to the rooftop."

A-Ka went up the stairs to see him, but found that the door of the roof was locked.Aka knocked on the door and said, "Are you outside?"

The man in the windbreaker put the sniper rifle on the railing, wiped the lens, looked back at the locked roof door, and did not answer.

Aka: "Thank you for the fruit, come down for breakfast."

The people on the roof remained silent.A-Ka waited for a while, but did not get any response, thinking that the people who came to the Tsar were some weirdos, so he ignored him.

A-Ka and Paixi were having breakfast when they heard singing outside, converging into a torrent.

"Unyielding soul, we will eventually return to our homeland..."

"Heroes of destiny, lead us forward..."

"The future is at your feet..."

The town was ignited with enthusiasm, and although Akka was not interested in the rebels and their affairs, he was inevitably exaggerated by this emotion.Pai Xi said, "Can I go out and have a look?"

"No." A-Ka replied without thinking.

A moment later, someone knocked on the door again, and the door opened with a bang, and Grizzly appeared at the door.

"Maxie is here," Grizzly said, "Don't you want to go out and have a look?"

The Tsar lazily said: "Oh no, there are two children at home, you can take them with you."

Grizzly smiled and asked, "Are you going?"

Pixi looked at A-Ka. A-Ka didn't want to go. His mechanical arm hadn't been assembled yet. The Tsar said, "Paixi, you can go with Grizzly. He will protect your safety."

A-Ka sized up the Grizzly, and finally said: "Go, come back early."

Grizzly came over to hold Paisi's hand and led him out. The Tsar said, "Grizzly once destroyed a base with his bare hands, don't worry about your brother."

"Instead of worrying about whether he can protect Paixi," Aka said, "I am more worried about what he will do to Paixi."

The Tsar laughed and said: "He doesn't like children, you can rest assured. Now that your bodyguards are here, no one has to be afraid."

"What?" Aka asked inexplicably.

After breakfast, the Tsar did not answer Akka's words, so he went back to his room and sat down, still lying on his chair, with his hat covering his face, and turned on the radio, which broadcast the news about General Maxey's tour.

Aka was behind the counter, debugging his robotic arm. He assembled a robotic arm with scraps from the Tsar’s shop, held it in his hand, and made a “quack” sound when it moved, and added A flare gun.

What are the guests above doing?He went up to the rooftop in the morning and never came down.

Aka opened the window and looked out, only to see that the square in front of the station was crowded with people.The crowd stretched as far as the eye could see, Aka had never seen so many people, they poured in from all directions, as if they wanted to witness a certain historic moment with their own eyes.In the center of the square is the steam station leading to the south. The railway track is laid here, as if leading to the barren land of the world, without moving forward an inch.

The big clock pointed to [-]:[-], and a steam train arrived in the small town of Shakespeare. When the doors of the carriage opened, the crowd boiled.

"Maxie-"

"Maxie, you're here!"

Countless people shouted Maxi's name, and several officers of the rebel army left the carriage, followed by a short middle-aged man.

A-Ka couldn't help but walked out of the house, and climbed up the roof along the ladder outside. Not far away was the rooftop. He saw the man in the long black windbreaker, with his hands in his pockets, quietly at the corner of the rooftop, looking into the distance .

"Hey!" Aka called to him.

The man was about the same height as Heishi, and he was wearing a pair of earplugs. A-Ka bet he heard it, but didn't turn his head.Aka stood on tiptoe and looked towards the square. He knew that many people in Phoenix City were looking forward to Maxi's arrival, and his deeds were widely recited among the rebels.The news on the radio said he was in that fight too, single-handedly destroying two large Annihilators.

He came with the orders of General Liebler, who died in battle, to unite the rebel forces in the north and lead them to form a united front, and now, he is back in Phoenix.Humanity is about to set off a revolution here and regain its homeland.

The singing of "Black Earth" was loud and loud, and then gradually died down, and Maxey spoke.

"Today is a historic moment," Maxey said.

With a deep voice, Maxi took off his hat and said: "We have suffered the most tragic blow in history, at the cost of the lives of countless soldiers, we have weakened the majesty of 'Father', but this is far from enough! We will unite……"

The daylight was pale and thin, and it fell silently on every building in Phoenix.On the roof of the machine repair shop, Heishi bit a bullet, set up his sniper rifle, and headed towards the podium where Maxi was standing in the center of the square.

He put on an infrared sight and stared at Maxey who was waving excitedly 400 meters away. He was waving a marshal's military cap to arouse people's enthusiasm.

Seconds later, the killer pulled the trigger.

"boom!"

It was as if a giant slammed a hammer on the ground, and the whole world was shaken by it.

At that moment, the passage of time seemed to be extremely slow, Maxi's great head exploded, and blood spattered.Under the sunlight, Maxi's brain shone with the light of the chip.

Everyone in the square was stunned. The shock was so great that within five seconds, no one could speak. They watched the headless body of Maxi fall to the ground and rolled off the stage.

The gunshots that shook the city killed one person, but another person woke up at the sound.

In the repair shop, the Tsar was awakened by the gunfire and sat up suddenly.

Outside the store, Aka suddenly felt a sense of panic, he jumped down and rushed back into the store.It was full of bumps with the rushing tsar!

"What did that bastard do!" the Tsar yelled angrily, grabbing Akka by the collar.

"I don't know!" Aka pushed the Tsar away and shouted, "I just heard the gunshots too!"

"Damn!" shouted the Tsar, rushing up to the roof, knocking on the door angrily, "open the door for me! Damn it! What have you done!"

However, the iron gate was tightly closed, and the Tsar could not open it with all his strength.At this moment, Akara grabbed him, pushed him aside, set up the mechanical arm, and fired a cannon against the door.

With a loud "boom", the cannon blasted the entire roof door flying out.The Tsar and A-Ka rushed up to the rooftop, and saw the windbreaker flaps flying, the figure of the sniper jumping over the railing and jumping down the alley, and his gesture of raising his hand and waving his fingers at A-Ka .

At that moment, A-Ka's blood froze instantly.

"Black Stone—" A-Ka yelled as he jumped in front of the railing.

At that time, Heishi jumped down the alley behind the repair shop, looked up at A-Ka when he landed, then ran and disappeared at the end of the alley.

Aka also fell down, fell on an oil drum, and fell to the ground again. After rolling around, feeling dizzy, he got up and ran after Heishi, shouting: "Wait!"

Maxey's death caused uncontrollable chaos. Nearly 10 people in the square uttered unexplained yells after they came to their senses, mixed with anger, sadness and even despair.Many people rushed to the stage to see his body, but the guards fired warning shots, and a riot broke out. 10 people trampled on each other and overwhelmed the stands.

Aka never expected such a thing to happen, he chased out of the alley and saw Heishi's figure.There was chaos everywhere, Heishi was really running too fast, the patrol planes all over the sky finally found Heishi, and the clone police began to outflank and intercept the escaped Heishi.

A-Ka took out a monocle positioning machine from his arms and put it in front of his left eye. He dragged the robotic arm and rushed across the long street. There were soldiers chasing Blackstone and evacuating the people everywhere. There was a complete riot in Phoenix City, and the rebel army began to suppress it. .

How is this going?Where A-Ka passed by, it was found that many people had launched a gun battle with the rebels, and most of them were mercenaries!

This desire to destroy spread among the crowd, and some people began to smash glass windows and buildings.In just half an hour, Aka witnessed with his own eyes how history completed its transformation at a critical moment, and how fate forcibly changed the life trajectory of hundreds of thousands, millions or even tens of millions of people.

With a roar, two security mechs controlled by clones chased after Blackstone, and the defense facilities rotating in the sky issued a warning.

"Quickly evacuate, ten seconds later, the sixth block began to blockade..."

"nineteen……"

Heishi ran on the road ahead, but realized the danger, turned to one side, and with a loud "boom", two annihilation mechs blocked in front of him.He flicked the sniper rifle in his hand, and in just a short moment, the sniper rifle automatically disassembled, reassembled, and turned into a magnetic cannon, blasting against the mecha.

In the lightning, the mechanical body lost its power of movement, but after a few seconds of delay, A-Ka had already caught up from behind.At this moment, the encirclement of the entire block was closed, and thousands of clone soldiers rushed towards the Black Stone with guns in hand.

Heishi turned his head and glanced around. The defense satellite on Zenith had already counted down to "one", and then, a laser shot quickly.Before long, A-Ka rushed to the crossroads, bowed, knelt down on one knee, raised the mechanical arm with his left hand, put his right hand behind his back, pulled out the rocket propeller behind his boot, and kicked on the ground.

In just a few moments, A-Ka flew towards the Black Stone, and the mechanical arm was fully fired, clearing a path!Hei Shi immediately stretched out his hand, and the two hooked their arms together. Hei Shi leapt up flat, turned around beautifully in mid-air, and embraced A-Ka. The two rushed into a building like cannonballs!

There was a loud "bang bang bang bang", and A-Ka and Heishi hugged each other tightly.A-Ka used the mechanical arm to protect the heads of the two, and rushed into the glass building, crashing into an unknown number of things, and then rushed out from the other side, dazed and unable to distinguish the direction.Heishi rushed into a basement with Aka in his arms.

"I'll go by myself..." Aka said.

Heishi took A-Ka's hand, and the two ran in the underground parking lot, found the next passage, and got in.

After half an hour, they finally got rid of all the pursuers.A-Ka was lying in the sewer, gasping for breath. He felt that he had been shot, and it was in his side.Gotta get the bullet out asap.

He stretched out his hand to touch his ribs, and his hand was wet and greasy, full of blood.However, Heishi didn't know it yet, so he pulled up his coat and covered the wound.

Heishi stood tall, standing at the junction of the sewage pipes, his brows were deeply furrowed.

"How long do you have to rest?" Heishi asked impatiently.

"Can you have a little conscience!" A-Ka was furious and said angrily.

Heishi looked at A-Ka, and A-Ka asked inexplicably, "What? Am I weird?"

"Why chase it out?" Heishi asked.

Aka said unhappily: "I'm worried about you, why didn't you say hello to me when you came back? You brought the fruit for me and Pai Xi yesterday? I wonder who will give us something delicious."

Heishi said "um" casually, and there seemed to be a little anxiety between his brows.A-Ka turned over with difficulty, leaned on the wall of the sewer, and walked with one foot deep and one foot shallow.Heishi immediately became alert and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go on your own." Aka endured his anger and sadness and said, "Leave me alone."

"It's dangerous outside!" Heishi chased after him.

Aka finally broke out, turned around and put his mechanical arm against Heishi's chest, and roared: "Why did you stay! Why did you come back! You didn't tell me anything! I really regarded you as a friend, so I chased you regardless of my life Come out to save you! What do you think of me!"

Heishi was taken aback, Aka was like an angry fighting cock, staring at Heishi and panting.

"Is that so?" Heishi seemed very amused, "Are you angry?"

"Stop bluffing me with what you don't understand about human emotions!" Aka said angrily, "Get lost!"

"Wait." Heishi walked behind A-Ka and said after a long thought, "I don't want to involve you in this matter."

Aka said: "Go away! I don't want to hear it!"

A-Ka walked to the vent, stood for a while, and used his mechanical arm to remove the fence in front of the vent, but Heishi let him avoid it, and punched the fence with a loud "clang".

"Follow me." Heishi pulled down the fence, took Aka's hand and climbed up.

This is a vast underground space, where many sewers in Phoenix City converge.Aka limped ahead, clutching his stomach, his feet were covered in blood, and he couldn't stop being dizzy.

Heishi finally found out about A-Ka's abnormality, and immediately changed his expression: "What's going on? You were shot?! Why didn't you tell me!"

Aka broke away from Heishi, but Heishi rushed forward, hugged him tightly, and shouted: "Don't move around! Let me see!"

A-Ka was bleeding and dizzy, Hei Shi hurriedly laid him flat, took off his coat and put it on the ground, let A-Ka lie down, and took off his shirt.The bullet holes were not big, so Heishi shook his weapon with a "swish", the weapon seemed to be alive and shrunk automatically, turning into a pair of sharp tweezers.

Aka said: "Then... what is that?"

Heishi didn't answer, and lowered his head to take out the warhead for A-Ka. A-Ka cried out in pain, and Heishi said nervously, "Don't move!"

A-Ka couldn't help twitching, Black Stone took out the bullet, threw it on the ground, made a "clang", then took off his shirt and pressed it on A-Ka's abdomen.

"No medicine, I have to go up quickly..." Heishi was a little at a loss.Seeing that Heishi was so nervous, Aka thought it was very funny, and said, "It's okay, I can't die."

Hei Shi suddenly hugged A-Ka with such force that it hurt A-Ka.A-Ka was a little taken aback at first, but Heishi's whole body was shaking.

"sorry Sorry……"

A-Ka couldn't believe that these words could come out of Heishi's mouth.

"What did you say?" Aka seemed to have heard a joke.

Heishi also noticed that he was a little agitated, so he sighed and said, "I'll carry you. I have to go out to find medicine as soon as possible to avoid infection of the wound."

As he said that, Heishi didn't allow A-Ka to refute, so he carried him on his back.A-Ka lost all his strength, lying on Heishi's back like a dead dog.

"Did you make the weapon yourself?" Black Stone asked suddenly.

"En." A-Ka was carried by the black stone, and his steps were very firm, which made him feel very comfortable.He turned his head sideways, looking at the dark and deep sewer, as if he had returned to the day when he and Heishi escaped from the mechanical city.

"Where's yours?" A-Ka muttered, "Where did you get your weapon?"

"I found it in the Creator's ruins." Blackstone replied, "An ancient weapon that can be controlled with thought."

A-Ka is very interested in this, but he is not in the mood to study it now, so he decides to ask Heishi to borrow it when he goes back.He asked again: "What are the remains of the Creator?"

"The place where everything was born," Blackstone said as he walked, "Before the golden age, the center of the world. At that time, the Creator created this world."

"Do you remember the past?" A-Ka asked again.

Heishi said: "I only remembered part of it."

"Your world is called the astrolabe, and it is a world controlled by preset programs." Blackstone explained, "The center that controls the astrolabe world is buried underground, and no one can find it. It is called the 'core'."

Aka: "I... don't quite understand, it seems to be different from what is said in the history books?"

Blackstone explained: "You can imagine that the world is a huge ecological spaceship. It came from the depths of the universe and stopped in this space on a certain day in ancient times. some microscopic laws."

Aka: "!"

Black Stone: "Thus, after tens of thousands of years, this ecological spaceship finally became what you see now. The pre-written program adjusts and controls the laws of the whole world through the energy under the astrolabe, such as earthquakes, Volcanic eruptions, tsunamis, hurricanes..."

"After the Creator did some research and left the astrolabe as an ecological petri dish, he left here, and human beings evolved and developed freely. 5000 years ago, a group of adventurers discovered the laboratory of the ancient heart. And took some technology from it, including the technology for making human clones, and computer technology. They copied another laboratory in the depths of the Eastern Continent and created the 'father'."

A-Ka vaguely felt that the black stone that appeared in front of him might be the key to unraveling all this.He held his breath, not daring to interrupt Heishi's words.After a long silence, Black Stone said again: "The original role of 'Father' is a mechanical surveillance body in the world where the Creator lives. It reports all experimental data to the Creator and stops experiments that exceed expectations in time."

"Later, the Creator felt that the basis of 'Father' was too rigid to retain the data they wanted, so they did not use it in our world. But the adventurers did not know about this past, but built a The 'Father' of self-awareness. After awakening, the 'Father' continues to extend the ego, docks with the core of the astrolabe, and at the same time proceeds to clear the part of the petri dish that is beyond control."

"So 'Father' and the clones rebelled, and this is the mechanical city you see now. Now, 'Father' is preparing for the final docking with 'Nuclear', and to stop this experiment that has lasted for tens of thousands of years, to prepare Clear the experimental data and start over."

Aka said, "What about the Creator?"

"They have disappeared," Blackstone said, "out of the communication range of 'Father', 'Father' cannot contact them, but according to its own procedures, it will end the entire experiment, stop all activities of the astrolabe, and shut down the computer to save energy."

"That is to say..." Aka was suddenly frightened.

"In the near future," Blackstone said, "after the intelligent life bred in the world is wiped out, the astrolabe will stop all energy supply, and the ground will become a wasteland covered with sand and stones, becoming a dead world, waiting for the return of the creator."

"When?" Aka trembled.

"Soon, Fei Luo went to investigate the countdown, not more than a year," Black Stone said lightly, "But before the Creator left this world, they still left an emergency system. This system has the priority of deciding whether to suspend the experiment." power, but its level is not higher than that of the 'father', I don't know when it sends instructions to the core of the astrolabe, whether the core executes the command of the emergency system or the command of the 'father'."

"Where is the key?" Aka asked.

Heishi turned his head and glanced at A-Ka.Aka pondered for a long time, and then said: "What conditions are needed to make the emergency system work?"

"Approach the core of the astrolabe, and issue instructions to it. The core itself has no thought, but only stores energy, and a terminal for executing commands. The only channel, which is under the tower of the 'father', has been connected by its computer leads gone."

Aka said: "You can try it, but this emergency system..."

Aka suddenly remembered something, stopped breathing suddenly, and asked, "Is it that chip? Does anyone else know about it?"

"That chip only records the adventurers' exploration of this matter, and retains the password to enter the nuclear." Heishi said, "The old man you found under the city of steel is one of the adventurers who entered the ancient heart. "

"Then why are you..." A-Ka remembered Blackstone's assassination.

"There are only four people who know about this," Heishi said, "you, me, the dead General Libble and Maxie. 'Father' discovered their plan, sent a robot, killed the first Maxie, And created another clone of him, mixed in the Phoenix City, mobilized the legion, launched a war, sent thousands of clones to the city of steel, and then set traps to kill everyone."

"But General Li Boer didn't know why he discovered the problem," Heishi said. "It's a pity that it was too late. He only knew a little about the secrets of 'nuclear', so he died in the end."

"Now I've killed Maxie as a spy," Blackstone said again, "Next, they will take back the control of the high-level officials in Phoenix City. If all goes well, and find the emergency system, there is a 50% chance that 'father' Shut down and restart the astrolabe."

"Restart the astrolabe, what will happen?" A-Ka asked.

"The environment of the golden age will be restored," Blackstone said. "Ion energy will be released to give birth to plants on the earth, purify the pollution you have caused to the world over the years, and make the environment and climate more suitable for every species to live in. Do you think it is necessary ?"

A-Ka once read in a book that the world of the Golden Age was a vast green land.

"I like that world," Akka said, "like an ecoregion."

"But after thousands of years, or even hundreds of years," Heishi said, "humans will still destroy it."

"I won't." A-Ka whispered, "But I can only represent myself."

Heishi asked, "Do you really like it?"

"Of course," A-Ka whispered, "Don't you like the world where everything grows under the wind and the sun?"

Heishi seemed to be thinking about something, and stopped making a sound. Aka said, "Thank you for trusting me."

"I just don't want you to be involved in such a complicated matter." Heishi said in a deep voice.

Aka said: "I am willing, I am willing to help you."

Heishi said: "I don't intend to do this."

A-Ka laughed and said, "If you didn't plan to do this, you wouldn't have come to Phoenix City."

Heishi stopped talking, and A-Ka said, "I understand. Look, isn't this good? You should tell me something."

"Don't tell anyone about this." Black Stone reminded in a low voice.

Akka knew that the seriousness of this matter would cause everyone to panic, especially if the emergency system had not been found yet.

"No matter what," A-Ka murmured, "there is always hope."

Heishi finally came to the exit of the sewer, pushed open the iron gate, and a golden sunset shone outside.Aka was stunned, the whole city was filled with thick smoke as if it had been bombed, and many places had become ruins.

This is an arduous war, and clones and humans fought desperately in Phoenix City.Aka didn't realize that the scale of civil strife broke out unexpectedly when he didn't know it.Heishi carried him to the west city, where mercenaries were inspecting the incoming human residents.

"What's going on!" Someone yelled.

"Is the family going to be separated?!" Another mercenary roared, "I have endured those clones for too long! I'm going to beat them to death!"

The human survivors inside the barbed wire responded all the time, and it was only then that A-Ka discovered that the conflict between clones and humans was so deep.The racial estrangement could not be eliminated at all, and the humans in the entire West Region were clamoring to get back their resources and drive out the last ruler of clones—Admiral Angus.

"Who?" The mercenaries guarded the sentry post in the west area, checking Black Stone.

With Aka on his back, Heishi said, "The chest pocket."

A-Ka took out a card from Heishi's pocket, the man glanced at it, and immediately said, "Go in, it's too unsafe here!"
