The day of the life and death of the universe - what a majestic but unusually distant sentence, it can be easily written in a story, in a play, in a bard's poems, and when it appears in front of everyone in the form of myths, legends and heroic stories, almost no one would have thought that such a thing could really happen in the real world, in their lifetime, in front of their own eyes.Tanagus - Holy Spring Valley - New Exploration Point, Spring of the third year of the new calendar, early in the morning, no wind.Ulanov stood on the watchtower outside the frontier settlement, holding the weapon he had just issued a few days ago, his eyes slowly sweeping over the giant vines that had grown in the distant jungle, and the cold night wind from the valley made his mind clear.The weapon in his hand is a long-range precision firearm that fires magnetically accelerated crystal needles, and a close-range secondary weapon that fires magnetically confined plasma on a weapon pylon on his thigh, both of which are not the products of the Drom civilization itself, but from the nearest drone factory supply depot - these depots have not been activated for a long time since the various frontier sites became self-sufficient in the necessities of life, and their most recent activation was to distribute weapons and equipment to the local population, This is something that many people have never thought about.The newly self-sufficient Drom civilization does not yet have the ability to produce modern weapons on its own, so the equipment that can be used to fight the madness tokens must be provided by the factory supply depot.However, for the Zom people, who have experienced the end of their home planet, the virtual ark, and the interstellar migration, and now expand their territory on a completely unfamiliar planet, it is already a survival instinct to meet the challenge, and cosmic annihilation and planetary apocalypse are not much different for them, and if they can fight for a chance to survive with a gun, they will not hesitate to arm themselves - as for the origin of this gun, it is even more irrelevant.What's more, there is also the eldest son Zhuo Mu who is watching over this planet in the far reaches of space, and the human race, as the second son, must of course be even more fearless.Ulanov moved his slightly numb fingers and rubbed the cold, hard body of the electromagnetic rifle in his hand.For the past three years, he has been active as an engineer and technician in various development sites, working on the design of waterwheels, mills, and agricultural tools, but the experience of being on guard at the edge of the base is not new to him, and he can't help but think of what he has experienced in the virtual world, the dream that has not been cleared, and he is a member of the Gray Fox mercenary group, struggling to survive in a world destroyed by nanomachines......
He thought of the gray fox, the cold-eyed and powerful female leader with a gray ponytail, where was she now?
Join those powerful Gentiles in another battlefield preparing for the ultimate challenge of this universe?
There was a sound of footsteps on the stairs behind him, and Ulanov turned his head to see an unusually tall figure coming to the watchtower.It was Carl, who, like him, was a member of the "Grey Fox" in the dream world.After being reborn in the real world, Carl became a farmer and was sent with himself to the new frontier to tend to the large farmland on the western side of the frontier.But when the goddess delivered the edict and the provisional government called for the fighters, he stood up like himself and volunteered to be one of the sentinels.Perhaps thanks to the runaway dream world, many people have experienced thousands of strange lives in the dream world, and have been infused with a lot of useful and useless knowledge, although they have to go through a long and painful process of "consciousness organization" after "waking up", but it has also given the Zom people countless excellent combatants.With near-perfect new limbs born from the blood of the source, and a spirit tempered in the dream world, almost every Djom can fight with a weapon."
It's not time for the changing of the guard yet."
Ulanov said, looking at the big man.Karl's voice was a little muffled: "I can't sleep, come up and take a look in advance." ”As he spoke, the sturdy man, who seemed to be taciturn, raised his head and looked up at the starry sky above him with some distraction.Looking up at the sky from the Valley of the Holy Springs, it is easy to find one of the most striking "celestial objects" in the starry sky, which is a crystal moon, a super-large integrated orbital station called the Crystal Nucleus Research Station.There is a bright red spot in the lower part of this "moon", which is the eye of the eldest son, Zom, gazing at the planet.The eldest son, who had lived in symbiosis with his home planet and was with humanity day and night, lost his body in the apocalypse of falling into the sun, but the Gentiles recreated a consciousness carrier for him and fused him with the Crystal Nucleus Research Station.For the past few years, it is he who has remotely controlled hundreds of Sacred Springs of Source Blood on the planet Tanagus, returning the souls of the Drom to the real world.Ulanov also glanced up at the sky, and he saw a large number of moving points of light around the crystal nucleus research station, each of which was a smaller space entity: some battleships, some spacestars.He couldn't help but say, "This planet is an important base for observers, and there are a large number of armed satellite groups around the crystal nucleus research station, so it should be much safer than other planets." ”"The goddess said that the enemy might bypass the defenses in space and attack the mortal world on earth," Karl said, gesturing to his head, "From here, we are the biggest vulnerability. ”Ulanov shrugged: "Whatever, anyway, the goddess also said that those who can penetrate the mortal world are the most low-level derivatives, as long as there is a good gun, it will still be a hole in one shot." ”At this moment, a pale golden glow suddenly passed through the sky, and flew quickly in the direction of the development point.Ulanov subconsciously raised the muzzle of the electromagnetic rifle, but then lowered it again, and Karl next to him nodded: "It's them." ”The golden light came like a meteor in a matter of seconds, and in a matter of seconds it was from the horizon to the front of the lookout, and the light group hovered to see its true face—in fact, it was three Enheria warriors, their golden armor floating with magical radiance, as if they had given birth to light-shaped wings.It's like coming out of a mythical story.These light-forged exotic soldiers were reinforcements sent by the Observer, and frankly speaking, Ulanov was really taken aback when he first saw these empty armors: although the Dzom civilization has a belief in goddesses since ancient times, and there is also "supernatural knowledge" in divine arts, magic, especially necromancy, is still quite different from their worldview, and using the soul to drive a pair of hollow armor has always been a classic routine of horror and supernaturalism in the traditional literature of Drom, and it took Ulanov a long time to start with " This is actually another robot pointed out by the tech tree", as a reason to be able to face these empty armor calmly.Valkyrie was much more amiable than dealing with these terrifying undead products - although I heard that the "Valkyrie" was actually some kind of undead, at least she looked beautiful......
The three Enheria warriors circled the watchtower and landed towards the makeshift camp next to the frontier point, while Ulanov took his attention back and nodded to Karl next to him, indicating that he was going back to rest, and then walked to the ladder next to the watchtower.The moment he stepped on the stairs, he suddenly felt a trance, and a strange and mysterious image immediately appeared in his mind: he saw the cosmic starry sky disappear one by one, countless stars snaked and writhing tentacles and eyes, a large and profane dark structure between the nebulae, slowly tearing the whole world apart, a wriggling mass of inexplicable matter looking down on everything from the infinite height, and in the midst of all this, he was alone, entangled in endless terrifying visions.These terrible images in his mind only appeared for a moment, and then disappeared, and Ulanov felt himself tremble all over, and his steps couldn't help but stumble twice, but the psychological qualities he had honed as a mercenary in the dream world made him adjust immediately.He quickly regained his balance, and his gaze swept around him—in his vision, countless large and small spots suddenly appeared on the metal watchtower railing, and the rifle in his hand had a disgusting texture like rotting pieces of flesh, but the constellation of satellites in the sky suddenly lit up, and his vision returned to normal.He looked up in Karl's direction, and the big man was also looking at him, with the fear in his eyes that had just faded, and beads of sweat on his forehead."
The time has come."
They spoke in unison.Piercing sirens sounded in the pioneering camp of the Valley of the Holy Springs.Resounded throughout Tanagus.In Halletta, in Io, in the Surrogate home planet, in Kolo, in every eco-planet.All of the walls of the Overwatch Fortress were filled with a blue-white glow, and the massive variable mechanism slowly opened, revealing the hidden turrets and missile launch arrays below, raining beams of light from every defense of the fortress, and between the beams of bullets, countless flashes of light could be seen - the flashes of the Jump Missile's brief acceleration in space and then into hyperspace.Artillery fire roared silently across the universe, and in front of the fortress's defenses, that dark horizon no longer existed.The indescribable chaotic space tore through the visual barrier, and countless wriggling black smoke, distorted frames that did not conform to the three-dimensional perspective, and crooked and trembling celestial bodies poured out like crazy abstract graffiti, occupying the entire Celestial Domain, overlooking the entire battlefield.Pong, let's take a look at the SAN value verification."
The horizon has opened!
Observable target entities!
”"All weapons are online, the protective wall has entered a wartime state, and the Annihilation Spear has begun to charge!""
Derivatives observed, the number ......
Extremely massive!
”"The drone swarm has been released, and the S3 and S4 areas are suffering a heavy blow!"
The "Guardian Legion's Third Fleet has arrived in the S4 Sector......" command center was like a pan of oil being poured cold water, and it was so busy that it was almost boiling, and Leah's eyes narrowed in front of the crazy and confused cosmic picture that constantly filled her vision."
It's time to say goodbye, my old rival ......"
