Chapter 1834 children
When the reborn king of star pirates pounced on the stars in the sound of wolf howlings, the capital of the Starry Federation is also ushering in a new dawn.
Although the first morning glow that tore through dark clouds appeared in the sky, the horizon was also a little golden and red flames were getting higher and higher, most of the sky was still shrouded in darkness, and the temperature was close to zero, as if it was frozen in the night. I wonder how long it would take for the real light to come.
For all the middle school students in Tiandu City, especially those who live on campus, this is an unforgettable night for them.
The major evacuation of teenagers has started yesterday, and the children in kindergartens, elementary school students and some junior high school students were evacuated one after another.
But before the junior high school students were completely evacuated to the underground war fort, the evacuation operation was temporarily interrupted for some reason. It was just that many federal troops were dispatched to station in various middle schools, making these passionate and restless boys and girls spend a sleepless night in the forest of long spears, short cannons and swords and halberds.
Everyone knows that a contest is taking place in the sky to determine the fate of the Federation, but the news on the Starry Sky Battlefield is still blocked, and the federal government's announcement is also a matter of time. Citizens should try their best to stay at home or school, obey the command of the federal army and police forces, maintain basic social order, and require all veterans and cultivators who have awakened their spiritual roots to register at the nearest military station, or they would register online, connect to the "National Battle Network", and wait for the next task assignment.
As for the outcome of the decisive battle, no child knows it yet.
"Fatty, hurry, hurry!"
"Bigou, you are quiet, clumsy. If I had known, I wouldn't have brought you here. No one can escape if I made a noise!"
"Jump, you're going to jump quickly. The three of us are all below and you are following you. If you don't dare to jump, why would you come out with us just now?"
In a remote corner of Tiandu City 29 High School, four high school students jumped down one after another on an inconspicuous high wall.
The girl seemed to sprain her ankle when she jumped down, and she let out a slight "Oh" sound, and was complained by the three boys again.
Then, the fat man supported the girl, and the four of them tiptoed and sneaked towards the city.
The four high school students are all the most energetic and energetic, and their parents are members of the Federal Army. They have grown up listening to the battle stories of the Federal Army and the Cultivators since childhood. They have no doubt that one day, perhaps today, they will also take over the banner of their fathers and become a new story and a new protagonist.
The boy's lips had just grown thin fluff, and the girl's breasts had just bloated like an air-filled ball last summer, but they felt that they had grown up and had the right to do a big fight, no matter what they did.
The students were bored in the dormitory all night, like a group of chicking chicks locked in an airtight cardboard box, and they had been so breathless that they had long been so hungry that they volunteered to go outside to find out some latest news.
"We are going to the 'Federal Square' in the city center, which is very close to the 'Federal News Center'. No matter what the latest news will be released on the large light curtain of the Federal Plaza, as soon as possible."
The four high school students pretended to be very experienced and explained to their classmates, "Besides, even if you can't find out any news in Federal Square, you can guess the general situation after looking at the movements and momentum of the Federal Army on the street."
In this way, the four high school students came out, stalking with their heads raised, and moved towards dawn from the vast darkness.
With the hope of the whole class, there is also a sense of pleasure of violating school rules and breaking through taboos. Two completely different feelings turned into a force that was both fresh and exciting, as if eight springs were pressed under their feet, which was about to make them trot all the way.
Tiandu City is completely different from the street scene they saw during the day.
Traffic control was implemented in the sky, and there were no more shuttle buses that were endless day and night, but occasionally some military shuttles like steel war eagles roared past.
Temporary fortifications were built on the street, with many crystal chariots parked, as well as large and small packages of construction materials and psychic puppets on standby, which can be upgraded to semi-permanent fortifications at any time, as if street fighting is to be carried out. Even if Tiandu City is razed to the ground, it will never be left to the cultivator.
The colorful skyscrapers and glass windows of the skyscrapers in the past were all blocked by layers of armored steel plates, like rows of wordsless tombstones, quietly telling the Federalists' determination to fight to the end.
"Look!"
The girl suddenly pointed to the distance and exclaimed in surprise.
The boys followed her fingers and saw hundreds of light columns that were taller and thicker than skyscrapers rising among the tall buildings in the city center.
The milky white column of light soared into the sky like a cannon barrel perpendicular to the ground, piercing through the dark clouds and piercing into the sky.
Even the strong dark clouds could not withstand the power of the light column, and large swaths spread around them, as if they would be completely torn apart in the next second, revealing the blue sky.
"Is that a cannon?"
The girl's voice was a little trembling, and she was deeply shocked by the magnificent scene.
"No, it's the highest level of defense formation in Tiandu City."
The shortest boy in the four, wearing round glasses, said, "I heard from my dad that this kind of defensive array can open a super giant psychic shield with a diameter of more than 300 kilometers, enough to withstand the bombardment from outside the atmosphere...at least twenty-four hours."
The teenagers were silent.
I remembered all kinds of panic rumors last night.
It is said that once the Expeditionary Force of the Real Human Empire wins the Battle of Star Sea, it will appear swaggeringly above the Tianyuan Star.
They don't have to attack the ground at all. They are very likely to drag a large number of giant meteorites over, install the cheapest power unit on the butt of the meteorite, and then use large meteorites to accurately bombard Tiandu and major industrial cities. They don't have to fight any street battles at all, and can completely kill the federal people's will to resist.
"Anyway...we will win."
The fat man waved his arm and gritted his teeth, "If the starry sky cannot be saved, we will retreat to the mountains to fight guerrillas. Ten, twenty, fifty years, one day we will regain the Federation!"
"That's right!"
The young man with a very big head said seriously, "Think about it, it took the human race in the past 30,000 years to regain the Star Sea. What is the decades? We... will win!"
The biting chill penetrated into the collar and cuffs, causing the four teenagers to shudder deeply.
But instead of retracting, they continued to walk forward in the cold wind.
Before they walked far away, when they passed by an artificial lake, they unexpectedly found an old man by the lake.
The old man was wrapped in metal all over his body, and even his face was just a cold mask. He should be a ghost cultivator who accidentally lost his body.
The reason why he is called an "old man" is because his movements are very stiff, just like rust all over his body and will fall apart at any time.
When they saw the old man, he was doing something common by the lake, but now he was quite strange to feed birds.
There are many birds by the artificial lake, and people often come to feed them.
But no one has ever attracted so many birds like this old ghost cultivator. Not only does it appear next to him, but it even falls on him, as if he has a natural sense of intimacy with him, and is not afraid of this cold mechanical body at all.
"So amazing, how did he do it?"
"When there are chaos, how can someone feed birds here? Who is he?"
"I seem to have seen this old man. Yes, it's him who often comes here to feed birds. I like to go to the artificial lake to recite ancient runes in the early morning. I have seen him several times, and he seems to be the archivist of the archives in the next library.
"But before, his movements were much clumsy. Once he fell down for a long time and couldn't get up. I helped him up. Moreover, there wouldn't be so many birds falling on him..."
The boys were talking and curiosity grew.
Just as she was about to let the girl who knew this old man come forward to ask what was going on, "Hulala", all the birds on the archivist flew up, and with a faint flash, they scattered and rushed into the sky.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
The archivist's metal chest cuff made a thunderous laugh, which scared the four teenagers.
The old man was as if no one was around, unscrupulous and heartbroken. The whole world was filled with his laughter alone. Even the dark clouds that covered the sky and the sun were torn apart in the wild laughter, and golden light burst out!
Smiling, smiling, the old man's voice and breath gradually weakened.
He was originally squatting on the ground to tease the birds, but now he could not support his heavy body. He sat on the ground with his butt, and his huge head hung down inch by inch.
"Grandpa!"
The girl was anxious and rushed up the first time. The three boys followed closely behind and wanted to help the old man, but the old archivist waved his hand at the children and signaled them not to come.
"Danger."
The archivist said it very clearly.
Then, balls of black flames gushed out of his metal head.
The black flames were swaying and struggling desperately, as if some kind of unwilling and resentful force was burning and completely annihilated!
With the annihilation of this power, the archivist's final life also disappeared, as if a burning golden match turned gray and white.
When the girl finally helped the old man up, she had only time to hear him in a vague voice and finally said something strange. There was no sound in the light metal chest.
The boys waved and shouted desperately on the street. Three minutes later, the police and the federal army finally called in. Not long after, the ambulance arrived in time.
This was originally a very common sudden death incident of an elderly man, and it was not surprising that it happened to the old ghost cultivator.
However, when the doctors uncovered the old man's metal celestial cover and found some traces of brain cells left inside, things became strange.
When the police checked the number on the old man's spiritual weapon prosthesis and found that this was an illegal prosthesis that had not been officially registered, the difficulty of the case was increased by several levels.
"You said, before he died, he said something strange, what is that?"
The policeman frowned deeply and stared at the four terrified and at a loss.
The teenagers looked at each other. It was a whispering and awkward sentence. They couldn't figure out the meaning for a while.
"Don't worry, let's think about it slowly. Even if you don't understand the meaning, you can repeat the syllables. This is very important for confirming the identity of the deceased."
He changed to a policewoman and said very kindly but very firmly.
The teenagers scratched their ears and foreheads, but they still couldn't think of it, and they all turned red with their faces.
At this moment, a flashing roar sounded on the horizon, and the rising sun finally broke free from the shackles of darkness and jumped high after a fierce battle.
There were cheers and noise coming from the direction of the city center, as if there was some great news, turning into a boiling storm, about to sweep the entire city, the entire planet, and the entire Federation.
The girl widened her eyes, and she finally understood what the old man had muttered just now.
"I, I understand, the old man's last words seem to be."
