Chapter 953 Finale Stage——Recitative
We like to believe that youth, enthusiasm, bravery, fearlessness and innate wisdom can overcome bureaucracy and corruption.Although in the story of Joan of Arc, the miracle does not happen, she eventually died at the hands of the enemy.But she became a symbol of the triumph of invisible power over visible power, of the power of pure thought, of how a single spark can start a fire, of victory over life and years.
We need someone like her, we need her as a hero who inspires us to better ourselves.Seeing her death as a victory keeps us from becoming slaves to time, mercenaries who only judge heroes by success or failure.

Paris.
5:20 am.
Avenue des quai branly.
Generally speaking, Paris wakes up very late in winter, and it is also the Christmas holiday. It is reasonable to say that this moment should be a dream time when everything is silent.However, the Branly Quay Avenue on the banks of the Seine is crowded with people. Countless pedestrians walk among the abandoned vehicles and street trees. Looking down from a high altitude, it looks like countless ants are evacuating the Eiffel Tower in the fine snow.
Although there were a large number of people and the atmosphere was heavy, unexpectedly the team was not chaotic. Everyone stared at the shining scepter at the front of the team and marched in silence.
It seems that the light is the Big Dipper that guides their direction, and the morning star that lights up the dawn.
In a room at the Eiffel Hotel on the banks of the Seine, a man wearing a French "Triumph" full-armor exoskeleton held up a binoculars and looked at Xie Minyun at the front of the team holding a scepter. After a while, he put down the binoculars and handed them to the soldiers beside him. He turned his head to Officer Julian who was standing on the other side and asked in a low voice, "Commander Julian, did you say to see the situation at that time?"
Facing the murderous man who looked like a mechanical soldier, the mustache police officer Julian was a little nervous. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and respectfully said to the famous star of the French army with a prominent family background: "Okay!" Yes, Brigadier General Sarkozy. Not long ago, around four o’clock, we received a mission, and terrorists were near the Eiffel Tower.”
As soon as Officer Julian started, Brigadier General Sarkozy interrupted his narration, and said in a deep voice: "Let's get straight to the point, did she use superpowers? What kind of superpowers did she use? As for the rest, it doesn't matter."
Officer Julian was a little stunned, but soon he reorganized his words and said softly: "I'm sure, she does have superpowers. Not only can she fly, but just looking at me, the gun in my hand will melt Yes. This is something I have personally experienced. Not only that, she can also manipulate metal." Julian paused, raised his hands and said sincerely, "I swear, I have never seen such absurd and terrifying things with my own eyes. What a scene! All the metal objects are floating in the air, the light ones include belts and mobile phones, and the heavy ones include motorcycles and tin houses. The scene is just like a movie. Even the lights of the Eiffel Tower are flickering. It’s incredible! I I really doubt if all this is just a dream! A nightmare!"
"Are there any other details? For example, about the scepter in her hand?" Brigadier General Sarkozy asked in a serious tone.
"The scepter? I really didn't pay attention to this, I only know that the scepter will emit light."
Brigadier General Sarkozy frowned: "Okay. I can't ask you uninformed people to pay more attention."
Officer Julien asked cautiously: "Your Excellency, who are these terrorists? Why do they have superpowers? Are we in France capable of dealing with them?"
"I can't tell you the specifics yet, but I just want to tell you that there is no need to be too nervous. Compared to Sith, the clown who spread poison gas, she is just a small trouble." Brigadier General Sarkozy said lightly.
Officer Julian breathed a sigh of relief: "Since you said that, I feel relieved. It's just that she doesn't seem to be malicious. She not only helps to calm people's hearts, but also guides the citizens forward. Maybe she really wants to help us in Paris."
"So it's from the Angel family." Brigadier General Sarkozy groaned, then turned to stare at Officer Julian suspiciously and asked, "Are you sure she's from China?"
"I'm sure, she once asked me to help contact the Chinese embassy. But the director did not agree."
"A Chinese, without self-interested motives, does his best to save the Parisians. What kind of spirit is this?" Brigadier General Sarkozy's tone was slightly mocking.
Officer Julian smiled wryly and replied, "The spirit of internationalism?"
"Commander Julian, do you believe that there is such a woman as Joan of Arc in history?" Brigadier General Sarkozy turned to look at Julian and asked a seemingly irrelevant question.
Julian hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't think it's likely to be fake, after all, English court records can't be faked."
Brigadier General Sarkozy smiled, and patted Police Officer Julian on the shoulder: "You lead her to the Jucardo Stadium, there are too many people here, it is not easy for us to arrest her."
"Now?" Officer Julian was surprised, and he hesitated for a moment before he said, "But without her guidance, the citizens' evacuation would not be so orderly. If there is any accident, a stampede may happen!"
"I'll send someone to follow you. You find a way to let her leave the scepter in front to guide the citizens. I believe she can do it. It will be easier for us to deal with her without the scepter. Even if she doesn't want to leave the scepter behind, There will be no surprises. We have identified the location of the clown Sith and her companions, and blocked all signals. Now the clown Sith has no way to detonate any gas devices. We will deal with the clown Sith after cleaning her up. Then Paris will return to calm." Brigadier General Sarkozy sneered, "This is also an opportunity to test whether she is a real saint. A real saint will not leave the scepter behind to guide people to move on, let alone When attacked, immediately summon the mace and throw people into chaos"
Sarkozy's ruthless behavior made Officer Julian's heart tighten. He rolled his throat and asked with some regret: "You are not going to kill her, are you? She has diplomatic immunity."
"Kill her?" Brigadier General Sarkozy shook his head, "Of course not, this girl can use superpowers even when the Chosen One server is closed, she is not an ordinary Chosen One, maybe... Anyway She has great research value, we have to catch her alive, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't want to solve her, and then solve the clown Sith."
Julian breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he still couldn't bear such a beautiful and kind girl to die like this. As for being arrested and used as a test object?He didn't dare to think about it. He just felt that the French army would not be inhumane. He discarded those sentimental feelings and turned his attention to other directions: "The Chosen One server? What is that?"
"You don't need to understand this now! But if you can handle this crisis well, you should have the opportunity to come into contact with another world. The world that belongs to the Chosen One." Brigadier General Sarkozy raised his wrist and glanced at the time, then turned his gaze to Throwing towards the empty stadium, "Time is precious, go find her now, we will set a trap there."
"Okay! Your Excellency Brigadier General." Officer Julian saluted.
Brigadier General Sarkozy nodded, and said to the person beside him who was also wearing the "Triumph" full armor exoskeleton: "Fulda, you go with Commander Julian and keep a distance, so as not to make her suspicious."
"Yes, sir!"
"Thank you! Lieutenant Colonel Fulda!" Officer Julian bowed slightly to Lieutenant Colonel Fulda, then turned and walked towards the door. When he opened the door, he turned around and asked, "Your Excellency, Joan of Arc Is it a fictional character?"
Brigadier General Sarkozy looked at Police Officer Julian who was holding the doorknob and said meaningfully: "Joan of Arc exists. But the Holy Maiden does not exist."
----------------------
Seeing Xie Minyun walking at the front of the team with a scepter in hand, Julian inexplicably remembered Joan of Arc who was wearing gorgeous armor and holding the "Cross of Lorraine" leading the French knights to charge into battle.
Maybe it's Xie Minyun's extraordinary beauty, maybe it's the tenacity and chastity shown in her words and expressions, maybe it's people bowing to her like lambs.Let Julian be full of admiration for the girl in front of him.
From a personal standpoint, he felt that Xie Minyun must be well-intentioned, and even he was willing to believe what Xie Minyun said that sounded absurd.However, in the face of national interests, the individual's position is so small.As a policeman, he deeply understands a truth that good people do not necessarily have good rewards.
Practically every saint is extremely unfortunate.
Like Joan, betrayed by her comrades, judged by her enemies, misunderstood by her people.
Perhaps this is the fate of a saint.
Julian sighed in his heart. He secretly gestured to Lieutenant Colonel Fulda, and quickly walked over to Xie Minyun, who was at the front of the team.He passed through the crowded crowd, pretended to be a little anxious, ran to Xie Minyun and said in a low voice, "Miss Xie, there is a big problem with Xiayou Palace, and it has something to do with your companions, I suggest you hurry over and have a look .”
"What's wrong?" Xie Minyun stopped, and the whole team also stopped flowing, without any noise or panic.
"The underground bunker was filled with poisonous gas, and there were explosions from time to time. Now we have established contact with the people inside, but there are still clown Sith people inside. We don't know how to identify your companions. I think you You should communicate and find a practical way to let your companions establish contact with us, so as to avoid more misunderstandings." Julian shook his mustache and said the words he had prepared a long time ago with a serious expression. As an old police officer, lying without blushing and heartbeat is also a skill he is extremely proficient in.
What's more, what he said can't be regarded as a lie.
Xie Minyun knew nothing about the situation inside the underground bunker, and there was no flaw in her words, but she heard that the inside was full of poisonous gas, and she was inevitably worried about Cheng Mo's safety. She frowned and asked, "Is it full of poisonous gas?"
Julian nodded, pretending to have a wry smile and said, "Fortunately, your partner prevented the citizens from entering the Xiayou Palace, otherwise I don't know how many people would die now! I'm really sorry, we misunderstood you at first."
Julian's apology made Xie Minyun's expression slightly relaxed. Although she firmly believed that Cheng Mo was doing good deeds, she did not want Cheng Mo to be misunderstood. Now the news that Officer Julian told her can confirm her opinion. Without any doubts, coupled with the eagerness to know the news about Cheng Mo and worrying about his condition, Xie Minyun immediately nodded and said, "Okay, what should I do now?"
"You have to go to the gymnasium." Officer Julian pointed to the Jucardo gymnasium not far away, then he looked around, and finally set his sight on the scepter emitting a soft light and said with some embarrassment: "But here is also inseparable from your guidance, if you walk away."
"It doesn't matter." Xie Minyun heard the string song and knew the elegance. She let go, and the Sanxingdui scepter hovered in mid-air like a living thing. Xie Minyun turned around and said to the devout believers behind him: "Everyone keep moving forward!"
The scepter began to move by itself, like a beacon guiding people in a snowstorm, guiding people along the Branly Wharf Avenue.Xie Minyun followed Julian upstream and walked quickly towards the Jucardo Stadium surrounded by dry plane trees.
"thank you for your trust."
The tone of the girl behind him was flat but full of sincerity, which made Police Officer Julian's heart twitch. His expression was very complicated at this second. After a flash of thought, Julian began to feel lucky that Xie Minyun couldn't see him, and he didn't turn his head back. He said: "It should be all of us French people who should thank you."
"It's okay, misunderstanding is inevitable. The main reason is that my companion's behavior is really abnormal and caused you some trouble, but they are all to save Paris! I hope you can understand." Hearing Julian say "thank you", All misunderstandings were cleared up, and Xie Minyun's heavy heart did not show any joy. If something happened to Cheng Mo, everything would be meaningless.
Julian didn't know the truth of the matter, but based on the study and judgment of Xie Minyun's personality, he roughly speculated that the girl and her companions in front of him were probably saving Paris.
But he believes that there is no point, he cannot be the master.Saying "I'm sorry" again in his heart, Julian quickly adjusted his mentality, and didn't want to use morality to judge the right or wrong of his current behavior, so he didn't continue to chat with Xie Minyun about this matter.
It just so happened that the cry of a baby was heard in the quiet evacuation team, and Xie Minyun, who was full of concern, ignored this little strangeness.
Xie Minyun and Julian followed the sound of crying and looked over. A young Caucasian couple was standing anxiously under the plane tree on the side of the road. There was a lot of people on both sides. The man was holding the baby, and the woman was holding the baby bottle and trying to feed the baby. , but the baby in his arms was only focused on crying and coughing, not caring about the surrounding situation at all.
Julian sighed and said, "I hope this will pass quickly."
Seeing Julian in police uniform, the man rushed over with the baby in his arms, and said impatiently, "Officer, my child has a fever and needs to go to the hospital as soon as possible, can you help me?"
The woman also hurriedly grabbed Julian's arm and said, "Please."
Julian said with a embarrassed expression: "Well... Even if you go to the hospital, there may not be a doctor. Many of my colleagues have been injured and have not received effective treatment yet."
"Then what should we do? Then what should we do?" The woman cried while holding the bottle, tears streaming down her cheeks like broken beads.
Julian was about to say that there was nothing he could do, but Xie Minyun from behind stepped forward and said softly, "Let me see."
The man was hesitant when he saw a young and beautiful Asian face, but the people nearby shouted: "That's the saint, give her the baby."
Only then did the man suddenly realize that he handed the child to Xie Minyun in a hurry. Xie Minyun looked down at the wrinkled little face, clenched his fist and cried loudly. A smile appeared on his cold face. She raised her right hand and stretched it out. The index finger was on the baby's forehead. The baby seemed to have discovered something, and waved and held her index finger.
A soft white light passed from her fingertips to the baby.That point of white light is so crystal clear in the snowy night, reflecting Xie Minyun's jade-like face, exuding a holy breath.
Amid the exclamations of the people, the little face wrinkled into a rag stretched out, and the cough mixed with crying tended to subside.
Xie Minyun asked softly, "What's his name?"
"Killian." Seeing that her child seemed to be getting better, the woman replied with a sob.
"Killian, you will grow up healthy and healthy, and become a brave, upright and kind person."
Hearing Xie Minyun's words, the baby actually laughed out of tears. He turned his little head up and giggled at Xie Minyun like a little flower.
Xie Minyun also smiled, blooming like a lotus in the cold winter.
Everyone around was infected by such smiles, and people's anxious mood unexpectedly calmed down.
Xie Minyun took out his index finger from the baby's soft hand, and the baby blinked twice, closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
The couple, who were originally anxious, were also relieved, and thanked them repeatedly with grateful faces.
People who witnessed the miracle again gave cheers and applause for Xie Minyun.
Xie Minyun took the opportunity to appease the people loudly again, telling them to evacuate calmly and orderly, warning them that mass panic is more terrible than poisonous gas.
The crowd continued to flow, and Xie Minyun went up against the flow amidst prayers and cheers.
Seeing people's expressions full of anticipation and looking up at Xie Minyun devoutly, it was like finding a life-saving rope in the abyss of despair.Julian's heart became more and more heavy. He felt that arresting Xie Minyun now would be tantamount to destroying people's hope, which is not a good idea.
Julian was tangled in every possible way, but when he came to his senses, there was nothing he could do.
The gates of the Jucardo Stadium are within easy reach.
He seemed to have smelled the smoke of gunpowder. At this moment, he could only pray in his heart that the "Dragon Knights" of the French special forces would not have any trouble.He also thinks what Xie Minyun said is right, mass panic is more terrifying than poisonous gas.However, the reason why people can remain calm now is because of the existence of Xie Minyun.
Thinking of Xie Minyun's unpredictable superpower, Julian was a little worried. If the French "Dragon Knight" could not properly deal with Xie Minyun, the consequences would be unpredictable. Thinking of the catastrophic scene, Julian's breath was inevitably short of breath the moment he walked into the door stand up.
Xie Minyun is not a girl who is so naive as to be ignorant of the world, let alone a foolish and sweet person who has no vigilance. When she found that Officer Julian was a little nervous, and when she saw the bright lights in the empty gymnasium outside the doorway, she immediately had a trace of suspicion. .
It's a pity that there is no way to use a three-dimensional map to observe the surrounding situation, so Xie Minyun pretended to be nonchalant and probed: "Officer Julian, how did your police establish contact with the underground bunker of Ouyu's headquarters?"
"Ah! I don't know, it's all contacted by the above." Julian didn't look back, but subconsciously quickened his pace and walked towards the stadium.
Ou Yu will definitely not take the initiative to contact the police, because the police have neither the authority nor the ability to deal with it, only the army can.Xie Minyun knew that Julian avoided talking about it because he had a guilty conscience.The lights in the wide arched doorway were dim. Xie Minyun blinked her eyes when she saw the back of Officer Julian. She stopped and asked in a deep voice, "Is it the army?"
"No, of course not." The sweaty police officer Julian stopped and looked back at Xie Minyun.
At this moment, heavy footsteps sounded at the entrance of the gymnasium. Xie Minyun turned around and saw a group of soldiers wearing dark blue "Triumph" full armor exoskeletons blocking the door with magnetic storm guns. The ropes hanging above the door were still flowing. Soldiers are constantly coming down.
Without any extra words, not even a single warning, the opponent fired directly, and countless blue electric lights shot out from the muzzle of the gun shining with electromagnetic sparks, densely covering the entire door opening.
The flustered police officer Julian ran away, not even caring about dropping his hat on the ground, stumbled into the stadium, and was ripped away by a soldier wearing an exoskeleton hiding by the door.
Without the support of a [-]D map, Xie Minyun did not dare to use teleportation at will. She knew in her heart that she should flee to a crowded place to be safe. But thinking of so many innocent citizens, Xie Minyun still chose to jump into the trap and used teleportation without hesitation. Moved, dodged the electromagnetic net laid at the entrance of the door, and rushed into the stadium.
Julian, who was hiding on the side of the doorway, watched Xie Minyun disappear like an elusive breeze in the doorway where the lightning flashed, and appeared in the middle of the stadium in the blink of an eye. He didn't look at him at all, and didn't mean to kill him at all. Julian's tense body immediately relaxed, and then he was fascinated by looking at Xie Minyun who flew up in the middle of the football field.
The white LED lights illuminate the entire football field like daytime, snowflakes are flying like confetti, all kinds of weapons on the stands are spitting out flames crazily, red, blue and purple chains are covered with huge venues, and Xie Minyun is like standing on the grandest stage, dancing in the streamer, just like the god of dance.
Julian was stunned. He had never witnessed such a thrilling dance. It reminded him of drinking spirits in a Spanish tavern, admiring the unrestrained and rapid dance steps of flamenco, and the flame-like flamenco. atmosphere.
Although the girl in the middle of the football field didn't wear a red dress, nor was she in a tavern with ambiguous lights, but Julian seemed to be in an alley lit by street lights. red.
Xie Minyun tossed and turned in the ballistic trajectory that pierced the air. The soldiers in dark blue mechs, like tall rugby players, rushed towards Xie Minyun from all directions with various weapons in their hands.
Seeing that Xie Minyun was about to be swallowed by the dark blue tide, she jumped up gently, like a master surfer walking through the waves, those strong mecha fighters turned into bulls, and she turned into a heroic matador, shaking Holding the red cloth, he played with the violent power on the applause.
Soldiers are constantly being knocked into the air, like plastic toys. Xie Minyun, who is in the center of the field, seems to be performing. Among the crowd, butterflies wear flowers, and her figure is not chaotic at all. Sunshine, night, morning light, and mist, from her graceful movements Burst out, leaving a spectacle of natural celestial phenomena everywhere.
Julian had never imagined that the battle could be so beautiful, everything was so dazzling.Thinking of such a crisis situation, Xie Minyun did not summon the scepter that was leading the crowd forward, Julian was a little sad.
I feel like I've committed an unforgivable sin.
In panic, he leaned against the cold wall, made a cross on his chest, folded his hands and closed his eyes and prayed in a low voice: "Merciful Creator! Please forgive my hidden transgressions and cover me with your precious blood." to make me clean."
"There is no need to pray for the understanding of the creator, but a heretic."
A majestic voice sounded beside him, Julian turned his head, and saw Brigadier General Sarkozy, holding a weapon bigger than an anti-aircraft machine gun, which looked like a miniature version of Transformers.
Under the illumination of the LED lights, a sharp and cold light flowed on the surface of the huge gun, and the dangerous atmosphere spread. Brigadier General Sarkozy said proudly: "It's called 'Macha's Curse'. It is the only powerful weapon in Europe that can destroy the cells of the Chosen One!"
Even if Brigadier General Sarkozy didn't explain, Julian could still see that this weapon has unrivaled power. Thinking of Xie Minyun's gentle and kind appearance to the baby just now, Julian gently reminded: "Your Excellency, Brigadier General, it seems that she didn't call That scepter."
"It's a good thing!" Brigadier General Sarkozy raised his gun and aimed the muzzle of "Macha's Curse" at Xie Minyun in the middle of the football field. "I will try my best to be gentle."
A group of soldiers cooperated with long-range shooting to suppress Xie Minyun's range of activities with all their strength. Brigadier General Sarkozy stood on the edge of the gymnasium, lurking in the depths of the jungle like a seasoned hunter, looking for suitable opportunities through the scope without moving. Quietly waiting for Xie Minyun to reveal his flaws.
Time passed by every minute and every second. Seeing that the time for the server restart of the Chosen One was approaching, Sarkozy, who had been standing still like a mountain, couldn't hold back any longer. He frequently put pressure on his subordinates. All members of the First Special Service Brigade of the "Dragon Knight" unit set up by the founders went into battle, and hundreds of well-trained and tough fighters besieged Xie Minyun.
The battle inside the Jucardo gym intensified.The originally flat turf has been trampled into mud.The surrounding seats and concrete walls were also covered with bullet holes and burn marks.
The battle was so tense that it was hard to breathe.
Finally, Brigadier General Sarkozy jumped up gently when Xie Minyun was trying to avoid the "paralyzed power grid". The opportunity was fleeting. Brigadier Sarkozy pulled the trigger, and a dazzling flash covered the LED lights that illuminated the entire gymnasium. Then it split into countless silk-like slender white lines, the dense lines pierced the sky of Paris, and went straight to Xie Minyun in mid-air with a thunderous momentum.
-------------------------
Without Nvwa, it would be absolutely impossible to avoid the detection. Fortunately, Cheng Mo has always been accustomed to imagine the situation he will face as the most extreme situation, so Cheng Mo didn't panic at all. Turn around and go straight to the stairwell you just came up.
It is Cheng Mo's good habit to plan ahead. When he went to the data center, he once imagined that there is no other way to escape from the underground bunker called "Kyklop" S' solid defense.
Now is the time to test whether this idea is correct.
Cheng Mo turned his head and walked along the corridor alone. The corridor was full of corpses, some died of poisonous gas, some died of explosions and bullets. Find a place to stay with the flickering lights.When passing by a machine gunner, Cheng Mo paused for a moment. He could clearly see that the bullet pierced through the machine gunner's respirator and left a blood groove on the machine gunner's face. Teeth that are completely out of their sockets.
In addition to the machine gunner and the machine gun on the railing, there were several corpses of Ouyu guards nearby. It was obvious that Fu Yuanzhuo and the others had had a fierce and bloody battle with Ouyu guards here.
Cheng Mo couldn't help thinking of Zhu Lingqi who was hit by the clown Sith on the respirator. Cheng Mo's eyes dimmed for a moment, and there was an inexplicable emotion surging in his heart, not only anger, but also regret and self-blame.Even though he has repeatedly emphasized that he will not be responsible for anyone's "death", Cheng Mo's heart is not without waves.
But now is not a good time for reflection and reminiscence, Cheng Mo collected his emotions, grabbed the railing and observed the whole bunker, the crystal lamp hanging in the middle has been hit by bullets, and the lights in the corridor have also been destroyed It's almost the same, only the colorful lights around the Christmas tree flicker stubbornly in the sparse poisonous fog, like a soldier's glorious medal.The whole courtyard was no longer dazzling, like an abyss in the hazy gloom, and the Christmas tree, bent for a short section, looked like a dejected giant.
No trace of the enemy was found, Cheng Mo sighed in his heart: "This is really a long Christmas." He bowed his body and walked carefully towards the stairs.
Going down the winding safety stairs to the ninth floor, Cheng Mo once again encountered the dark metal gate. Even though the guards abandoned the control center and data center due to the poisonous gas, they did not forget to lock the gate.Cheng Mo prayed in his heart that the control center hadn't returned to normal. If the data tampered with by Nuwa had been restored, his risky behavior would trigger an alarm.
Cheng Mo didn't believe that in such a terrible situation, there were still people who remembered to check the system. According to his guess, most of the technicians probably died in the poisonous fog, otherwise Nuwa wouldn't be able to hack into Ou Yu's so easily. control center.
But nothing is absolute, and in the form of efficiency first, he must take a risk.Thinking about possible accidents in his heart, Cheng Mo took a deep breath, checked his weapon, walked to the gate and entered his fingerprints, when the computer asked him to verify his iris, Cheng Mo felt relieved, it seemed that Ou Yu's Technicians are pretty much dead indeed.
After passing the iris verification, the heavy alloy door slid open silently, and Cheng Mo sneaked into the core area of Ouyu again, the corridor was filled with thick poisonous gas, and the surrounding was eerily quiet, only the sound of Cheng Mo's inhalation was heard. Shocking his eardrums, he walked along the promenade alone, like a lonely ghost.
Cheng Mo had no doubt that if it was Gu Feihua and Guan Bojun, they would be scared to pee in this environment, and then Cheng Mo lamented that he was really a lone star, just felt a little bit of cooperation, and was immediately attracted by the clown Sith. Get back to shape.
Thinking of the clown Sith, Cheng Mo inevitably thought of Zhu Lingqi again, "Maybe friendship is really a luxury for me." All of a sudden, Cheng Mo put aside these negative emotions and quickly ran towards the auditorium.
The map of the negative ninth floor was deeply remembered in Cheng Mo's brain, and Cheng Mo, who had excellent spatial imagination, found the auditorium full of corpses without delay.Cheng Mo looked towards the area where the wounded were placed, and it was obvious that there was no living person here, and those seriously injured corpses had also been carried away.
Cheng Mo remembered that when he was placed there, there were many medical equipment nearby.He searched the past according to his memory, and soon found the medical oxygen cylinder he needed, some first-aid kits and a box of medical alcohol by the wall. In the meantime, he walked out of the lifeless auditorium with medical alcohol in one hand and a trolley containing medical oxygen cylinders in the other.
Walking through the long corridor with flashing piano lights, and arriving at the entrance of the data center, Cheng Mo lifted the medical oxygen cylinder from the trolley, carried the medical oxygen cylinder weighing dozens of kilograms, and descended the wide and simple fortification stairs, and arrived at the data center. Data center door.
Cheng Mo opened the vault-like alloy door with ease, and returned to the underground data center that was bigger than the playground.Cheng Mo stood on the steps and looked up at the cooling tower towering in the center of the matrix.Centered on this cooling tower with a height of four or five floors, a data matrix composed of rows of black cabinets is arranged in all directions. Those black data storages are shining in the hazy darkness, like an airplane flying at night Overlooking the cobweb-like city.
Cheng Mo had seen such a grand scene once, so he was not shocked. He only knew that after the signal was blocked, the data inside could no longer be transmitted via satellite.
Cheng Mo didn't know whether Nuwa had transmitted his father's information, and it wasn't time to worry about it. He walked directly along the corridor between the matrixes to the cooling tower, which was his only hope of escaping from here.
Carrying the oxygen cylinder and medical alcohol to the vicinity of the small building-like cooling tower, Cheng Mo first looked up at the top of the cooling tower along the stairs, even though the cooling towers with four or five floors of two or 30 meters were tall enough, But the ceiling is even more frighteningly high.The entire data center is like an empty aircraft factory building, and the mid-air is densely covered with fire-fighting pipes, and these pipes are connected to cooling towers.
Although these cobweb-like fire pipes completely shattered Cheng Mo's idea of setting fire to the entire data center, it confirmed another idea of his.
Cheng Mo reviewed the plan again, and drew up a backup plan. He put the oxygen cylinder by the stairs of the cooling tower, observed the surrounding storage for a while, and made sure that there was nothing wrong with burning some of the machines. He carefully selected a Not far from the cooling tower, the area between the entrance and the cooling tower was set on fire.
The reason for choosing this piece of data storage is not only because this piece of data storage is an old model, but the cables are all made of ordinary rubber insulators. Compared with the silicone insulator cables used in those new data storages, the ignition point is much lower. It is easier to burn.Also because this area is burning, the thick smoke will effectively block the line of sight between the entrance and the cooling tower.
He poured medicinal alcohol on bundles of colorful cables wrapped with insulators, and then he took out the lighter and started setting fire non-stop. Soon, Cheng Mo ignited a large piece of old cables, and the flames spread far faster. It was faster than he imagined, but in an instant, all the data storage was engulfed in a sea of flames. The violent fire was accompanied by electric sparks, and the black case was swallowed by the flames, making a crackling sound. Rolling up.
Cheng Mo was wearing a gas mask, so he wasn't affected by the smoke at all, but the mask couldn't block the scorching heat.Finding that the fire was bigger than he had imagined, Cheng Mo didn't hesitate anymore, and rushed towards the cooling tower, throwing away the thick smoke.
Before reaching the cooling tower, the alarm bell blew up, and the data center started power outage protection. Those flickering lights like colorful lights went out in groups, and then the nozzles on the fire pipe above the head sprayed continuous water.
Cheng Mo ran to the edge of the cooling tower, untied the belt, tied it to the oxygen cylinder, and put the belt on the shoulder of his right hand.Then Cheng Mo climbed up the narrow iron stairs. Without the help of the exoskeleton, his physical strength was almost at the limit. The oxygen cylinder weighing dozens of kilograms fell on his right shoulder and often slipped to his elbow when climbing. , so Cheng Mo had to stop and hang the oxygen cylinder on his shoulder with his left hand, which made the not-so-high stairs especially long and difficult.
Unexpectedly, the plan was still very secretive, and he was used to the infinite power of the exoskeleton, which made Cheng Mo completely overestimate his physique. If he wanted to change Cheng Mo, who had not strengthened his physique with points, the only choice was to give up.Right now he still has the capital to persevere, gritted his teeth, and Cheng Mo climbed up to the top of the cooling tower step by step with his sore and painful right hand.
The sky-shattering alarm bell kept ringing, and Cheng Mo knew that sooner or later someone would come, and the alloy door under power-off protection would automatically open, allowing the guards who had no way to enter the data center to enter the data center unimpeded.
But he had to stop the operation of the cooling tower, without Nuwa he had to take such extreme measures.Right now he is in a race against time.The tens of kilograms of oxygen cylinders on the shoulders became Cheng Mo's biggest obstacle. Halfway through the climb, Cheng Mo felt that his shoulders had been worn out, not only sore, but also burning pain.
The pain made his consciousness a little trance. Cheng Mo remembered that when he was studying, every morning when he walked through the corridor outside the classroom, he would see students practicing track and field on the playground. Tires, sprinting over and over on the plastic track.At that time, he was not only a little envious of those students who could practice track and field. At this moment, he felt that it was better to be able to sit at the desk and read quietly.
While Cheng Mo was trying to distract himself from the pain by thinking wildly, there was the sound of messy footsteps at the gate.Cheng Mo cursed inwardly that the efficiency of the guards was a bit high, but he couldn't climb faster. Right now, he could only pray that the thick smoke and dark environment would delay the time for them to find themselves.
"How many times have you prayed today?" Cheng Mo thought, as a staunch materialist, he believed that the act of praying was a shameful betrayal of science!Cheng defaulted that maybe he should pray to Huygens, and of course it could be Bernstein and von Misis, or Kolmogorov.
At this second, Cheng Mo's mind inexplicably flashed countless great mathematicians who have made outstanding contributions in "probability"
I always thought that when the Japanese mathematician Kiyoshi Ito introduced stochastic integrals and stochastic differential equations in 1942 and opened up a new path for the study of stochastic processes, he was finally only a few meters away from the top of the cooling tower.
At this moment, he was also discovered by the guards who rushed over. The beam of light from the strong flashlight swept across the cooling tower twice, and finally shone straight on his body.If you ask him what it feels like to suddenly see his own shadow in the darkness, Cheng Mo believes that he can write an article with thousands of words.
It's all beating around the bush and cursing.
There was a shout from below asking him to stop immediately, Cheng Mo ignored it, he waved his soon-to-be-disabled right hand and continued to climb forward, the light enveloped him, allowing him to see clearly the silver metallic paint on the surface of the cooling tower. There are huge Masonic signs.
The beam of the powerful flashlight shone on it like a full moon, and he was like a monkey climbing a mountain in the moon.
The stairs began to shake, Cheng Mo lowered his head and glanced, two people wearing Ouyu exoskeleton were going up as fast as apes, Cheng Mo suddenly felt that he overestimated himself by saying that he was a monkey, compared to the speed of the enemy, he was just moving Snail climbing a tree.Cheng Mo grabbed the stairs and desperately climbed up, his body was shaking violently, as if he was about to collapse, his body was soaked in sweat, his mask was covered with mist, and his vision was blurred.
There was a gunshot, and the bullet hit the outer wall of the cooling tower, leaving a shallow crater, which bounced off to nowhere.Cheng Mo didn't panic, and calmly glanced at the crater not far away, deduced from the distance between the bullet and himself that the other party just wanted to slow down his climbing the stairs, not kill him, which made Cheng Mo feel at ease, but Not only did the crisis not end, but the people who were chasing him were getting closer and closer.
Cheng Mo looked down again, the two had already climbed halfway in the blink of an eye, Cheng Mo gasped, looked up at the top of the tower that was close to Chi Chi, and groaned twice, ignoring the Oxygen cylinders, struggling to board the platform on the top of the tower.
At this time, he felt that his right hand was completely numb and didn't belong to him at all. He reluctantly switched the oxygen bottle to his left hand, and Cheng Mo ran towards the center of the cooling tower tremblingly.
The sound of stepping on the stairs behind is getting louder, and the pursuers are getting closer, Cheng Mo doesn't care at all, he just wants to drink a sip of water, his throat is about to burn, apart from the strong thirst, the pain of muscle tearing makes his whole body He was almost unable to support himself, and all kinds of torture made his soul want to abandon his broken body.
Cheng Mo's incomparable carrier of nostalgia also wants to have that "God gene".He struggled and ran to the center of the cooling tower, panting heavily, put down the oxygen cylinder beside the bulging lid, and put two grenades beside the lid for backup. The energy stored in "Zong" is running out.
Cheng Mo resisted the needle-like pain, and turned the rudder-like switch with his nearly disabled hands. The sound of "creaking" echoed in the huge data center, like a monster grinding its teeth.The sound of stepping on the stairs exploded, and Cheng Mo looked up and saw a guard rushing up to the top of the tower, quickly raised his submachine gun and pointed it at him, shouting in English: "Don't move, raise your hands immediately. "
Immediately afterwards, another person climbed to the top of the tower, and also pointed a gun at him. The dazzling light shone on his mask, making him almost unable to open his eyes.
Cheng Mo stopped the movement of his hands, closed his eyes and responded loudly: "OK! Don't shoot! Don't shoot!" He pretended to raise his hand, but actually grabbed a grenade. The moment he raised his hand, Cheng Mo pulled He opened the insurance and threw a grenade in the direction where the two were standing.
The gunfire and the explosion flashed at the same time, Cheng Mo ignored it, he believed that the exoskeleton could avoid most of the damage, so he just lowered his head and pointed the top of the helmet towards the direction where the guard was standing, and desperately rotated the rudder switch of the cooling tower cover , I don't know how many bullets the exoskeleton blocked, anyway, Cheng Mo's numb body couldn't feel it at all.
In the rapid gunshots, he lifted the steel cover that was bigger than the manhole cover, and the bullets crackled on the cover. Cheng Mo didn't even look at it, and picked up a grenade and threw it towards the place where the gunfire sounded. , Fighting for a short safe time, Cheng Mo looked down at the inside of the cooling tower. There was no light, and only a dark piece could be seen. The inside of the cooling tower seemed to be an endless dark abyss.
After the grenade exploded, the bullets began to jingle on the cover again, and the sound of footsteps was also approaching.It was too late to take out the bright flashlight to observe the situation, Cheng Mo had no choice, maybe he still had a choice, surrender should save his life, and killing might also allow him to escape, but Cheng Mo acquiesced that it was not the best choice.
Believe in your own judgment and jump into the abyss in front of you is the best choice.
I don't know how much confidence Cheng Mo has to jump down from a height of tens of meters where he can't see the situation clearly. If there is no water in the cooling tower, or the water level is not high enough.
There is only one possibility of death.
Not only that, this cooling tower has to be connected to the Seine River as Cheng Mo speculated, so that Cheng Mo has a chance to escape.If it were not connected to the Seine, his life and death would be unpredictable.
The map that Mr. Armadillo gave him did not include data center information.
Ke Chengmo just believed in his own inference.
For such a large data center, if other heat dissipation methods are used, the power consumption will be astronomical, and it is impossible not to use the Seine River water.
If you were someone else, you would definitely hesitate, get entangled, and give up in the face of huge risks.But Cheng Mo just took a deep breath, bent over to pick up the oxygen cylinder, and jumped into the dark cooling tower amidst the rapid gunshots and footsteps.
At this moment, Cheng Mo's mind went blank, he didn't pray, he didn't think of anything or anyone, and his thinking completely stopped.
After the sound of water splashing, everything became quiet, the sound of gunshots and footsteps disappeared, and Cheng Mo's brain resumed functioning. He opened his eyes and saw himself sinking rapidly in the thick darkness , the surroundings were horribly dark, and the abyss was nothing more than that.He firmly grasped the oxygen cylinder with his left hand, and untied the helmet and mask with his right hand, and the mask and helmet disappeared in an instant.
Holding the oxygen cylinder weighing tens of kilograms, Cheng Mo quickly sank to the bottom of the cooling tower, the water pressure rushed towards all directions, and an absolute silence enveloped him.He couldn't see anything around him, he could only see the air bubbles he exhaled. At this moment, Cheng Mo felt that his lungs were going to be empty, and the strong desire to breathe was devouring his reason.
Cheng Mo stepped on the slippery bottom of the cooling tower, with the oxygen bottle between his legs, put the breathing mask on his mouth, and then fumbled for the switch.He had confirmed the switch of the oxygen cylinder and the amount of oxygen. With full preparation, even when he was jumping back and forth on the verge of death, Cheng Mo remained calm.Turning the switch slightly, Cheng Mo felt fresh pure oxygen rushing towards his face. He took a deep breath and immediately relieved the feeling that his lungs were about to explode.
After solving the imminent survival problem, Cheng Mo felt a little more at ease, and his breathing became much calmer.However, this does not mean that he is safe. He still has to find a pipeline leading to the Seine River. Logically speaking, for the sake of environmental protection, both the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe must lead directly to the Seine River.
He took out the military high-light flashlight from his waist and turned it on. The light illuminated a piece of dark green, with countless dust-like plankton floating there.
With the light, Cheng Mo became more and more calm. The quality of the flashlight is very good, but in such a deep water, the range and distance that the bright flashlight can illuminate are very small, and Cheng Mo can't even see the wall of the cooling tower. .He hung the belt tied to the oxygen tank on his arm again, lit the flashlight in his right hand, and walked forward with the oxygen tank in his left hand.The underwater oxygen cylinder is not heavy, it is light, but when walking, there is a sense of oppression in all directions, which is amazing.
Cheng Mo guessed that walking on Mars in a spacesuit probably felt like this.The silence is so suffocating, as if everything is far away, and I am imprisoned in a strange environment where I may die at any time, which is probably the feeling.
As an excellent student with both arts and sciences, and a battle-tested candidate, Cheng Mo didn't have much fear, and even began to imagine that standing on Mars and looking at the earth in the distance, would he feel a sense of loneliness called longing.He also thought of the diving book he had read, which said that diving requires at least two people, one is to help each other; the other is because underwater will produce a dangerous sense of loneliness, which can be fatal in a crisis.
At this time, Cheng Mo had already reached the edge of the cooling tower. With the help of a flashlight, he found the water outlet with a filter along the wall.Cheng Mo used the "Seven Sins" to break open the filter screen. Behind the alloy filter screen was a huge water pump more than two meters high.Cheng Mo looked up at the impeller embedded in the metal components. In the green water, the huge blades looked like the propeller blades of a giant ship.
Cheng Mo wondered if the electricity was cut off, and estimated that he would be sucked in and cut into pieces in an instant.Time is precious, and Cheng Mo has no time to appreciate the spectacular scenery of this other world. He swung the Seven Sins and cut a gap enough for him to pass through between the impellers, and reached the water inlet section and sealing area composed of countless mechanical parts. He controlled Following the Seven Sins to get through the entire water pump, it finally entered the outlet pipe.
At this time, the strong light has been able to completely cover the cross-section of the pipe, and Cheng Mo saw the turquoise wall of the pipe, and green moss-like things covered the entire wall, making it impossible for Cheng Mo to see clearly what material the pipe wall is made of. become.But that doesn't matter either.
Cheng Mo took two steps tentatively, the inner wall of the pipe was too slippery, and it was extremely strenuous to walk, so Cheng Mo tried to switch to a swimming posture.Cheng Mo himself doesn't know how to swim, but he has swam several times in the carrier state. After the brain has experience, the body can do it effortlessly.
At this time, the broken exoskeleton on his body was a little in the way. Cheng Mo held the oxygen cylinder between his legs, and with difficulty removed the exoskeleton full of bullet holes, took off his shoes, and dragged the oxygen tank like a fish. The bottle swims down the seemingly endless depths of the intake pipe.
Unlike diving, except for dense plankton and some green algae around Cheng Mo, there is no living thing related to life. Terrible silence enveloped him, as if he had entered an eternal water coffin.
This loneliness is incomparably great loneliness.
Similar to despair.
Cheng Mo speeded up and swam forward. He remembered the good time when he and Xie Minyun swam in the icy lake. Even if there were dangers everywhere, as long as she was there, the danger was so sweet.
At this moment, he really wanted to see Xie Minyun.
Only her warm embrace can comfort his lonely soul.
(End of this chapter)
We like to believe that youth, enthusiasm, bravery, fearlessness and innate wisdom can overcome bureaucracy and corruption.Although in the story of Joan of Arc, the miracle does not happen, she eventually died at the hands of the enemy.But she became a symbol of the triumph of invisible power over visible power, of the power of pure thought, of how a single spark can start a fire, of victory over life and years.
We need someone like her, we need her as a hero who inspires us to better ourselves.Seeing her death as a victory keeps us from becoming slaves to time, mercenaries who only judge heroes by success or failure.

Paris.
5:20 am.
Avenue des quai branly.
Generally speaking, Paris wakes up very late in winter, and it is also the Christmas holiday. It is reasonable to say that this moment should be a dream time when everything is silent.However, the Branly Quay Avenue on the banks of the Seine is crowded with people. Countless pedestrians walk among the abandoned vehicles and street trees. Looking down from a high altitude, it looks like countless ants are evacuating the Eiffel Tower in the fine snow.
Although there were a large number of people and the atmosphere was heavy, unexpectedly the team was not chaotic. Everyone stared at the shining scepter at the front of the team and marched in silence.
It seems that the light is the Big Dipper that guides their direction, and the morning star that lights up the dawn.
In a room at the Eiffel Hotel on the banks of the Seine, a man wearing a French "Triumph" full-armor exoskeleton held up a binoculars and looked at Xie Minyun at the front of the team holding a scepter. After a while, he put down the binoculars and handed them to the soldiers beside him. He turned his head to Officer Julian who was standing on the other side and asked in a low voice, "Commander Julian, did you say to see the situation at that time?"
Facing the murderous man who looked like a mechanical soldier, the mustache police officer Julian was a little nervous. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and respectfully said to the famous star of the French army with a prominent family background: "Okay!" Yes, Brigadier General Sarkozy. Not long ago, around four o’clock, we received a mission, and terrorists were near the Eiffel Tower.”
As soon as Officer Julian started, Brigadier General Sarkozy interrupted his narration, and said in a deep voice: "Let's get straight to the point, did she use superpowers? What kind of superpowers did she use? As for the rest, it doesn't matter."
Officer Julian was a little stunned, but soon he reorganized his words and said softly: "I'm sure, she does have superpowers. Not only can she fly, but just looking at me, the gun in my hand will melt Yes. This is something I have personally experienced. Not only that, she can also manipulate metal." Julian paused, raised his hands and said sincerely, "I swear, I have never seen such absurd and terrifying things with my own eyes. What a scene! All the metal objects are floating in the air, the light ones include belts and mobile phones, and the heavy ones include motorcycles and tin houses. The scene is just like a movie. Even the lights of the Eiffel Tower are flickering. It’s incredible! I I really doubt if all this is just a dream! A nightmare!"
"Are there any other details? For example, about the scepter in her hand?" Brigadier General Sarkozy asked in a serious tone.
"The scepter? I really didn't pay attention to this, I only know that the scepter will emit light."
Brigadier General Sarkozy frowned: "Okay. I can't ask you uninformed people to pay more attention."
Officer Julien asked cautiously: "Your Excellency, who are these terrorists? Why do they have superpowers? Are we in France capable of dealing with them?"
"I can't tell you the specifics yet, but I just want to tell you that there is no need to be too nervous. Compared to Sith, the clown who spread poison gas, she is just a small trouble." Brigadier General Sarkozy said lightly.
Officer Julian breathed a sigh of relief: "Since you said that, I feel relieved. It's just that she doesn't seem to be malicious. She not only helps to calm people's hearts, but also guides the citizens forward. Maybe she really wants to help us in Paris."
"So it's from the Angel family." Brigadier General Sarkozy groaned, then turned to stare at Officer Julian suspiciously and asked, "Are you sure she's from China?"
"I'm sure, she once asked me to help contact the Chinese embassy. But the director did not agree."
"A Chinese, without self-interested motives, does his best to save the Parisians. What kind of spirit is this?" Brigadier General Sarkozy's tone was slightly mocking.
Officer Julian smiled wryly and replied, "The spirit of internationalism?"
"Commander Julian, do you believe that there is such a woman as Joan of Arc in history?" Brigadier General Sarkozy turned to look at Julian and asked a seemingly irrelevant question.
Julian hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't think it's likely to be fake, after all, English court records can't be faked."
Brigadier General Sarkozy smiled, and patted Police Officer Julian on the shoulder: "You lead her to the Jucardo Stadium, there are too many people here, it is not easy for us to arrest her."
"Now?" Officer Julian was surprised, and he hesitated for a moment before he said, "But without her guidance, the citizens' evacuation would not be so orderly. If there is any accident, a stampede may happen!"
"I'll send someone to follow you. You find a way to let her leave the scepter in front to guide the citizens. I believe she can do it. It will be easier for us to deal with her without the scepter. Even if she doesn't want to leave the scepter behind, There will be no surprises. We have identified the location of the clown Sith and her companions, and blocked all signals. Now the clown Sith has no way to detonate any gas devices. We will deal with the clown Sith after cleaning her up. Then Paris will return to calm." Brigadier General Sarkozy sneered, "This is also an opportunity to test whether she is a real saint. A real saint will not leave the scepter behind to guide people to move on, let alone When attacked, immediately summon the mace and throw people into chaos"
Sarkozy's ruthless behavior made Officer Julian's heart tighten. He rolled his throat and asked with some regret: "You are not going to kill her, are you? She has diplomatic immunity."
"Kill her?" Brigadier General Sarkozy shook his head, "Of course not, this girl can use superpowers even when the Chosen One server is closed, she is not an ordinary Chosen One, maybe... Anyway She has great research value, we have to catch her alive, if it weren't for this, I wouldn't want to solve her, and then solve the clown Sith."
Julian breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, he still couldn't bear such a beautiful and kind girl to die like this. As for being arrested and used as a test object?He didn't dare to think about it. He just felt that the French army would not be inhumane. He discarded those sentimental feelings and turned his attention to other directions: "The Chosen One server? What is that?"
"You don't need to understand this now! But if you can handle this crisis well, you should have the opportunity to come into contact with another world. The world that belongs to the Chosen One." Brigadier General Sarkozy raised his wrist and glanced at the time, then turned his gaze to Throwing towards the empty stadium, "Time is precious, go find her now, we will set a trap there."
"Okay! Your Excellency Brigadier General." Officer Julian saluted.
Brigadier General Sarkozy nodded, and said to the person beside him who was also wearing the "Triumph" full armor exoskeleton: "Fulda, you go with Commander Julian and keep a distance, so as not to make her suspicious."
"Yes, sir!"
"Thank you! Lieutenant Colonel Fulda!" Officer Julian bowed slightly to Lieutenant Colonel Fulda, then turned and walked towards the door. When he opened the door, he turned around and asked, "Your Excellency, Joan of Arc Is it a fictional character?"
Brigadier General Sarkozy looked at Police Officer Julian who was holding the doorknob and said meaningfully: "Joan of Arc exists. But the Holy Maiden does not exist."
----------------------
Seeing Xie Minyun walking at the front of the team with a scepter in hand, Julian inexplicably remembered Joan of Arc who was wearing gorgeous armor and holding the "Cross of Lorraine" leading the French knights to charge into battle.
Maybe it's Xie Minyun's extraordinary beauty, maybe it's the tenacity and chastity shown in her words and expressions, maybe it's people bowing to her like lambs.Let Julian be full of admiration for the girl in front of him.
From a personal standpoint, he felt that Xie Minyun must be well-intentioned, and even he was willing to believe what Xie Minyun said that sounded absurd.However, in the face of national interests, the individual's position is so small.As a policeman, he deeply understands a truth that good people do not necessarily have good rewards.
Practically every saint is extremely unfortunate.
Like Joan, betrayed by her comrades, judged by her enemies, misunderstood by her people.
Perhaps this is the fate of a saint.
Julian sighed in his heart. He secretly gestured to Lieutenant Colonel Fulda, and quickly walked over to Xie Minyun, who was at the front of the team.He passed through the crowded crowd, pretended to be a little anxious, ran to Xie Minyun and said in a low voice, "Miss Xie, there is a big problem with Xiayou Palace, and it has something to do with your companions, I suggest you hurry over and have a look .”
"What's wrong?" Xie Minyun stopped, and the whole team also stopped flowing, without any noise or panic.
"The underground bunker was filled with poisonous gas, and there were explosions from time to time. Now we have established contact with the people inside, but there are still clown Sith people inside. We don't know how to identify your companions. I think you You should communicate and find a practical way to let your companions establish contact with us, so as to avoid more misunderstandings." Julian shook his mustache and said the words he had prepared a long time ago with a serious expression. As an old police officer, lying without blushing and heartbeat is also a skill he is extremely proficient in.
What's more, what he said can't be regarded as a lie.
Xie Minyun knew nothing about the situation inside the underground bunker, and there was no flaw in her words, but she heard that the inside was full of poisonous gas, and she was inevitably worried about Cheng Mo's safety. She frowned and asked, "Is it full of poisonous gas?"
Julian nodded, pretending to have a wry smile and said, "Fortunately, your partner prevented the citizens from entering the Xiayou Palace, otherwise I don't know how many people would die now! I'm really sorry, we misunderstood you at first."
Julian's apology made Xie Minyun's expression slightly relaxed. Although she firmly believed that Cheng Mo was doing good deeds, she did not want Cheng Mo to be misunderstood. Now the news that Officer Julian told her can confirm her opinion. Without any doubts, coupled with the eagerness to know the news about Cheng Mo and worrying about his condition, Xie Minyun immediately nodded and said, "Okay, what should I do now?"
"You have to go to the gymnasium." Officer Julian pointed to the Jucardo gymnasium not far away, then he looked around, and finally set his sight on the scepter emitting a soft light and said with some embarrassment: "But here is also inseparable from your guidance, if you walk away."
"It doesn't matter." Xie Minyun heard the string song and knew the elegance. She let go, and the Sanxingdui scepter hovered in mid-air like a living thing. Xie Minyun turned around and said to the devout believers behind him: "Everyone keep moving forward!"
The scepter began to move by itself, like a beacon guiding people in a snowstorm, guiding people along the Branly Wharf Avenue.Xie Minyun followed Julian upstream and walked quickly towards the Jucardo Stadium surrounded by dry plane trees.
"thank you for your trust."
The tone of the girl behind him was flat but full of sincerity, which made Police Officer Julian's heart twitch. His expression was very complicated at this second. After a flash of thought, Julian began to feel lucky that Xie Minyun couldn't see him, and he didn't turn his head back. He said: "It should be all of us French people who should thank you."
"It's okay, misunderstanding is inevitable. The main reason is that my companion's behavior is really abnormal and caused you some trouble, but they are all to save Paris! I hope you can understand." Hearing Julian say "thank you", All misunderstandings were cleared up, and Xie Minyun's heavy heart did not show any joy. If something happened to Cheng Mo, everything would be meaningless.
Julian didn't know the truth of the matter, but based on the study and judgment of Xie Minyun's personality, he roughly speculated that the girl and her companions in front of him were probably saving Paris.
But he believes that there is no point, he cannot be the master.Saying "I'm sorry" again in his heart, Julian quickly adjusted his mentality, and didn't want to use morality to judge the right or wrong of his current behavior, so he didn't continue to chat with Xie Minyun about this matter.
It just so happened that the cry of a baby was heard in the quiet evacuation team, and Xie Minyun, who was full of concern, ignored this little strangeness.
Xie Minyun and Julian followed the sound of crying and looked over. A young Caucasian couple was standing anxiously under the plane tree on the side of the road. There was a lot of people on both sides. The man was holding the baby, and the woman was holding the baby bottle and trying to feed the baby. , but the baby in his arms was only focused on crying and coughing, not caring about the surrounding situation at all.
Julian sighed and said, "I hope this will pass quickly."
Seeing Julian in police uniform, the man rushed over with the baby in his arms, and said impatiently, "Officer, my child has a fever and needs to go to the hospital as soon as possible, can you help me?"
The woman also hurriedly grabbed Julian's arm and said, "Please."
Julian said with a embarrassed expression: "Well... Even if you go to the hospital, there may not be a doctor. Many of my colleagues have been injured and have not received effective treatment yet."
"Then what should we do? Then what should we do?" The woman cried while holding the bottle, tears streaming down her cheeks like broken beads.
Julian was about to say that there was nothing he could do, but Xie Minyun from behind stepped forward and said softly, "Let me see."
The man was hesitant when he saw a young and beautiful Asian face, but the people nearby shouted: "That's the saint, give her the baby."
Only then did the man suddenly realize that he handed the child to Xie Minyun in a hurry. Xie Minyun looked down at the wrinkled little face, clenched his fist and cried loudly. A smile appeared on his cold face. She raised her right hand and stretched it out. The index finger was on the baby's forehead. The baby seemed to have discovered something, and waved and held her index finger.
A soft white light passed from her fingertips to the baby.That point of white light is so crystal clear in the snowy night, reflecting Xie Minyun's jade-like face, exuding a holy breath.
Amid the exclamations of the people, the little face wrinkled into a rag stretched out, and the cough mixed with crying tended to subside.
Xie Minyun asked softly, "What's his name?"
"Killian." Seeing that her child seemed to be getting better, the woman replied with a sob.
"Killian, you will grow up healthy and healthy, and become a brave, upright and kind person."
Hearing Xie Minyun's words, the baby actually laughed out of tears. He turned his little head up and giggled at Xie Minyun like a little flower.
Xie Minyun also smiled, blooming like a lotus in the cold winter.
Everyone around was infected by such smiles, and people's anxious mood unexpectedly calmed down.
Xie Minyun took out his index finger from the baby's soft hand, and the baby blinked twice, closed his eyes and fell asleep peacefully.
The couple, who were originally anxious, were also relieved, and thanked them repeatedly with grateful faces.
People who witnessed the miracle again gave cheers and applause for Xie Minyun.
Xie Minyun took the opportunity to appease the people loudly again, telling them to evacuate calmly and orderly, warning them that mass panic is more terrible than poisonous gas.
The crowd continued to flow, and Xie Minyun went up against the flow amidst prayers and cheers.
Seeing people's expressions full of anticipation and looking up at Xie Minyun devoutly, it was like finding a life-saving rope in the abyss of despair.Julian's heart became more and more heavy. He felt that arresting Xie Minyun now would be tantamount to destroying people's hope, which is not a good idea.
Julian was tangled in every possible way, but when he came to his senses, there was nothing he could do.
The gates of the Jucardo Stadium are within easy reach.
He seemed to have smelled the smoke of gunpowder. At this moment, he could only pray in his heart that the "Dragon Knights" of the French special forces would not have any trouble.He also thinks what Xie Minyun said is right, mass panic is more terrifying than poisonous gas.However, the reason why people can remain calm now is because of the existence of Xie Minyun.
Thinking of Xie Minyun's unpredictable superpower, Julian was a little worried. If the French "Dragon Knight" could not properly deal with Xie Minyun, the consequences would be unpredictable. Thinking of the catastrophic scene, Julian's breath was inevitably short of breath the moment he walked into the door stand up.
Xie Minyun is not a girl who is so naive as to be ignorant of the world, let alone a foolish and sweet person who has no vigilance. When she found that Officer Julian was a little nervous, and when she saw the bright lights in the empty gymnasium outside the doorway, she immediately had a trace of suspicion. .
It's a pity that there is no way to use a three-dimensional map to observe the surrounding situation, so Xie Minyun pretended to be nonchalant and probed: "Officer Julian, how did your police establish contact with the underground bunker of Ouyu's headquarters?"
"Ah! I don't know, it's all contacted by the above." Julian didn't look back, but subconsciously quickened his pace and walked towards the stadium.
Ou Yu will definitely not take the initiative to contact the police, because the police have neither the authority nor the ability to deal with it, only the army can.Xie Minyun knew that Julian avoided talking about it because he had a guilty conscience.The lights in the wide arched doorway were dim. Xie Minyun blinked her eyes when she saw the back of Officer Julian. She stopped and asked in a deep voice, "Is it the army?"
"No, of course not." The sweaty police officer Julian stopped and looked back at Xie Minyun.
At this moment, heavy footsteps sounded at the entrance of the gymnasium. Xie Minyun turned around and saw a group of soldiers wearing dark blue "Triumph" full armor exoskeletons blocking the door with magnetic storm guns. The ropes hanging above the door were still flowing. Soldiers are constantly coming down.
Without any extra words, not even a single warning, the opponent fired directly, and countless blue electric lights shot out from the muzzle of the gun shining with electromagnetic sparks, densely covering the entire door opening.
The flustered police officer Julian ran away, not even caring about dropping his hat on the ground, stumbled into the stadium, and was ripped away by a soldier wearing an exoskeleton hiding by the door.
Without the support of a [-]D map, Xie Minyun did not dare to use teleportation at will. She knew in her heart that she should flee to a crowded place to be safe. But thinking of so many innocent citizens, Xie Minyun still chose to jump into the trap and used teleportation without hesitation. Moved, dodged the electromagnetic net laid at the entrance of the door, and rushed into the stadium.
Julian, who was hiding on the side of the doorway, watched Xie Minyun disappear like an elusive breeze in the doorway where the lightning flashed, and appeared in the middle of the stadium in the blink of an eye. He didn't look at him at all, and didn't mean to kill him at all. Julian's tense body immediately relaxed, and then he was fascinated by looking at Xie Minyun who flew up in the middle of the football field.
The white LED lights illuminate the entire football field like daytime, snowflakes are flying like confetti, all kinds of weapons on the stands are spitting out flames crazily, red, blue and purple chains are covered with huge venues, and Xie Minyun is like standing on the grandest stage, dancing in the streamer, just like the god of dance.
Julian was stunned. He had never witnessed such a thrilling dance. It reminded him of drinking spirits in a Spanish tavern, admiring the unrestrained and rapid dance steps of flamenco, and the flame-like flamenco. atmosphere.
Although the girl in the middle of the football field didn't wear a red dress, nor was she in a tavern with ambiguous lights, but Julian seemed to be in an alley lit by street lights. red.
Xie Minyun tossed and turned in the ballistic trajectory that pierced the air. The soldiers in dark blue mechs, like tall rugby players, rushed towards Xie Minyun from all directions with various weapons in their hands.
Seeing that Xie Minyun was about to be swallowed by the dark blue tide, she jumped up gently, like a master surfer walking through the waves, those strong mecha fighters turned into bulls, and she turned into a heroic matador, shaking Holding the red cloth, he played with the violent power on the applause.
Soldiers are constantly being knocked into the air, like plastic toys. Xie Minyun, who is in the center of the field, seems to be performing. Among the crowd, butterflies wear flowers, and her figure is not chaotic at all. Sunshine, night, morning light, and mist, from her graceful movements Burst out, leaving a spectacle of natural celestial phenomena everywhere.
Julian had never imagined that the battle could be so beautiful, everything was so dazzling.Thinking of such a crisis situation, Xie Minyun did not summon the scepter that was leading the crowd forward, Julian was a little sad.
I feel like I've committed an unforgivable sin.
In panic, he leaned against the cold wall, made a cross on his chest, folded his hands and closed his eyes and prayed in a low voice: "Merciful Creator! Please forgive my hidden transgressions and cover me with your precious blood." to make me clean."
"There is no need to pray for the understanding of the creator, but a heretic."
A majestic voice sounded beside him, Julian turned his head, and saw Brigadier General Sarkozy, holding a weapon bigger than an anti-aircraft machine gun, which looked like a miniature version of Transformers.
Under the illumination of the LED lights, a sharp and cold light flowed on the surface of the huge gun, and the dangerous atmosphere spread. Brigadier General Sarkozy said proudly: "It's called 'Macha's Curse'. It is the only powerful weapon in Europe that can destroy the cells of the Chosen One!"
Even if Brigadier General Sarkozy didn't explain, Julian could still see that this weapon has unrivaled power. Thinking of Xie Minyun's gentle and kind appearance to the baby just now, Julian gently reminded: "Your Excellency, Brigadier General, it seems that she didn't call That scepter."
"It's a good thing!" Brigadier General Sarkozy raised his gun and aimed the muzzle of "Macha's Curse" at Xie Minyun in the middle of the football field. "I will try my best to be gentle."
A group of soldiers cooperated with long-range shooting to suppress Xie Minyun's range of activities with all their strength. Brigadier General Sarkozy stood on the edge of the gymnasium, lurking in the depths of the jungle like a seasoned hunter, looking for suitable opportunities through the scope without moving. Quietly waiting for Xie Minyun to reveal his flaws.
Time passed by every minute and every second. Seeing that the time for the server restart of the Chosen One was approaching, Sarkozy, who had been standing still like a mountain, couldn't hold back any longer. He frequently put pressure on his subordinates. All members of the First Special Service Brigade of the "Dragon Knight" unit set up by the founders went into battle, and hundreds of well-trained and tough fighters besieged Xie Minyun.
The battle inside the Jucardo gym intensified.The originally flat turf has been trampled into mud.The surrounding seats and concrete walls were also covered with bullet holes and burn marks.
The battle was so tense that it was hard to breathe.
Finally, Brigadier General Sarkozy jumped up gently when Xie Minyun was trying to avoid the "paralyzed power grid". The opportunity was fleeting. Brigadier Sarkozy pulled the trigger, and a dazzling flash covered the LED lights that illuminated the entire gymnasium. Then it split into countless silk-like slender white lines, the dense lines pierced the sky of Paris, and went straight to Xie Minyun in mid-air with a thunderous momentum.
-------------------------
Without Nvwa, it would be absolutely impossible to avoid the detection. Fortunately, Cheng Mo has always been accustomed to imagine the situation he will face as the most extreme situation, so Cheng Mo didn't panic at all. Turn around and go straight to the stairwell you just came up.
It is Cheng Mo's good habit to plan ahead. When he went to the data center, he once imagined that there is no other way to escape from the underground bunker called "Kyklop" S' solid defense.
Now is the time to test whether this idea is correct.
Cheng Mo turned his head and walked along the corridor alone. The corridor was full of corpses, some died of poisonous gas, some died of explosions and bullets. Find a place to stay with the flickering lights.When passing by a machine gunner, Cheng Mo paused for a moment. He could clearly see that the bullet pierced through the machine gunner's respirator and left a blood groove on the machine gunner's face. Teeth that are completely out of their sockets.
In addition to the machine gunner and the machine gun on the railing, there were several corpses of Ouyu guards nearby. It was obvious that Fu Yuanzhuo and the others had had a fierce and bloody battle with Ouyu guards here.
Cheng Mo couldn't help thinking of Zhu Lingqi who was hit by the clown Sith on the respirator. Cheng Mo's eyes dimmed for a moment, and there was an inexplicable emotion surging in his heart, not only anger, but also regret and self-blame.Even though he has repeatedly emphasized that he will not be responsible for anyone's "death", Cheng Mo's heart is not without waves.
But now is not a good time for reflection and reminiscence, Cheng Mo collected his emotions, grabbed the railing and observed the whole bunker, the crystal lamp hanging in the middle has been hit by bullets, and the lights in the corridor have also been destroyed It's almost the same, only the colorful lights around the Christmas tree flicker stubbornly in the sparse poisonous fog, like a soldier's glorious medal.The whole courtyard was no longer dazzling, like an abyss in the hazy gloom, and the Christmas tree, bent for a short section, looked like a dejected giant.
No trace of the enemy was found, Cheng Mo sighed in his heart: "This is really a long Christmas." He bowed his body and walked carefully towards the stairs.
Going down the winding safety stairs to the ninth floor, Cheng Mo once again encountered the dark metal gate. Even though the guards abandoned the control center and data center due to the poisonous gas, they did not forget to lock the gate.Cheng Mo prayed in his heart that the control center hadn't returned to normal. If the data tampered with by Nuwa had been restored, his risky behavior would trigger an alarm.
Cheng Mo didn't believe that in such a terrible situation, there were still people who remembered to check the system. According to his guess, most of the technicians probably died in the poisonous fog, otherwise Nuwa wouldn't be able to hack into Ou Yu's so easily. control center.
But nothing is absolute, and in the form of efficiency first, he must take a risk.Thinking about possible accidents in his heart, Cheng Mo took a deep breath, checked his weapon, walked to the gate and entered his fingerprints, when the computer asked him to verify his iris, Cheng Mo felt relieved, it seemed that Ou Yu's Technicians are pretty much dead indeed.
After passing the iris verification, the heavy alloy door slid open silently, and Cheng Mo sneaked into the core area of Ouyu again, the corridor was filled with thick poisonous gas, and the surrounding was eerily quiet, only the sound of Cheng Mo's inhalation was heard. Shocking his eardrums, he walked along the promenade alone, like a lonely ghost.
Cheng Mo had no doubt that if it was Gu Feihua and Guan Bojun, they would be scared to pee in this environment, and then Cheng Mo lamented that he was really a lone star, just felt a little bit of cooperation, and was immediately attracted by the clown Sith. Get back to shape.
Thinking of the clown Sith, Cheng Mo inevitably thought of Zhu Lingqi again, "Maybe friendship is really a luxury for me." All of a sudden, Cheng Mo put aside these negative emotions and quickly ran towards the auditorium.
The map of the negative ninth floor was deeply remembered in Cheng Mo's brain, and Cheng Mo, who had excellent spatial imagination, found the auditorium full of corpses without delay.Cheng Mo looked towards the area where the wounded were placed, and it was obvious that there was no living person here, and those seriously injured corpses had also been carried away.
Cheng Mo remembered that when he was placed there, there were many medical equipment nearby.He searched the past according to his memory, and soon found the medical oxygen cylinder he needed, some first-aid kits and a box of medical alcohol by the wall. In the meantime, he walked out of the lifeless auditorium with medical alcohol in one hand and a trolley containing medical oxygen cylinders in the other.
Walking through the long corridor with flashing piano lights, and arriving at the entrance of the data center, Cheng Mo lifted the medical oxygen cylinder from the trolley, carried the medical oxygen cylinder weighing dozens of kilograms, and descended the wide and simple fortification stairs, and arrived at the data center. Data center door.
Cheng Mo opened the vault-like alloy door with ease, and returned to the underground data center that was bigger than the playground.Cheng Mo stood on the steps and looked up at the cooling tower towering in the center of the matrix.Centered on this cooling tower with a height of four or five floors, a data matrix composed of rows of black cabinets is arranged in all directions. Those black data storages are shining in the hazy darkness, like an airplane flying at night Overlooking the cobweb-like city.
Cheng Mo had seen such a grand scene once, so he was not shocked. He only knew that after the signal was blocked, the data inside could no longer be transmitted via satellite.
Cheng Mo didn't know whether Nuwa had transmitted his father's information, and it wasn't time to worry about it. He walked directly along the corridor between the matrixes to the cooling tower, which was his only hope of escaping from here.
Carrying the oxygen cylinder and medical alcohol to the vicinity of the small building-like cooling tower, Cheng Mo first looked up at the top of the cooling tower along the stairs, even though the cooling towers with four or five floors of two or 30 meters were tall enough, But the ceiling is even more frighteningly high.The entire data center is like an empty aircraft factory building, and the mid-air is densely covered with fire-fighting pipes, and these pipes are connected to cooling towers.
Although these cobweb-like fire pipes completely shattered Cheng Mo's idea of setting fire to the entire data center, it confirmed another idea of his.
Cheng Mo reviewed the plan again, and drew up a backup plan. He put the oxygen cylinder by the stairs of the cooling tower, observed the surrounding storage for a while, and made sure that there was nothing wrong with burning some of the machines. He carefully selected a Not far from the cooling tower, the area between the entrance and the cooling tower was set on fire.
The reason for choosing this piece of data storage is not only because this piece of data storage is an old model, but the cables are all made of ordinary rubber insulators. Compared with the silicone insulator cables used in those new data storages, the ignition point is much lower. It is easier to burn.Also because this area is burning, the thick smoke will effectively block the line of sight between the entrance and the cooling tower.
He poured medicinal alcohol on bundles of colorful cables wrapped with insulators, and then he took out the lighter and started setting fire non-stop. Soon, Cheng Mo ignited a large piece of old cables, and the flames spread far faster. It was faster than he imagined, but in an instant, all the data storage was engulfed in a sea of flames. The violent fire was accompanied by electric sparks, and the black case was swallowed by the flames, making a crackling sound. Rolling up.
Cheng Mo was wearing a gas mask, so he wasn't affected by the smoke at all, but the mask couldn't block the scorching heat.Finding that the fire was bigger than he had imagined, Cheng Mo didn't hesitate anymore, and rushed towards the cooling tower, throwing away the thick smoke.
Before reaching the cooling tower, the alarm bell blew up, and the data center started power outage protection. Those flickering lights like colorful lights went out in groups, and then the nozzles on the fire pipe above the head sprayed continuous water.
Cheng Mo ran to the edge of the cooling tower, untied the belt, tied it to the oxygen cylinder, and put the belt on the shoulder of his right hand.Then Cheng Mo climbed up the narrow iron stairs. Without the help of the exoskeleton, his physical strength was almost at the limit. The oxygen cylinder weighing dozens of kilograms fell on his right shoulder and often slipped to his elbow when climbing. , so Cheng Mo had to stop and hang the oxygen cylinder on his shoulder with his left hand, which made the not-so-high stairs especially long and difficult.
Unexpectedly, the plan was still very secretive, and he was used to the infinite power of the exoskeleton, which made Cheng Mo completely overestimate his physique. If he wanted to change Cheng Mo, who had not strengthened his physique with points, the only choice was to give up.Right now he still has the capital to persevere, gritted his teeth, and Cheng Mo climbed up to the top of the cooling tower step by step with his sore and painful right hand.
The sky-shattering alarm bell kept ringing, and Cheng Mo knew that sooner or later someone would come, and the alloy door under power-off protection would automatically open, allowing the guards who had no way to enter the data center to enter the data center unimpeded.
But he had to stop the operation of the cooling tower, without Nuwa he had to take such extreme measures.Right now he is in a race against time.The tens of kilograms of oxygen cylinders on the shoulders became Cheng Mo's biggest obstacle. Halfway through the climb, Cheng Mo felt that his shoulders had been worn out, not only sore, but also burning pain.
The pain made his consciousness a little trance. Cheng Mo remembered that when he was studying, every morning when he walked through the corridor outside the classroom, he would see students practicing track and field on the playground. Tires, sprinting over and over on the plastic track.At that time, he was not only a little envious of those students who could practice track and field. At this moment, he felt that it was better to be able to sit at the desk and read quietly.
While Cheng Mo was trying to distract himself from the pain by thinking wildly, there was the sound of messy footsteps at the gate.Cheng Mo cursed inwardly that the efficiency of the guards was a bit high, but he couldn't climb faster. Right now, he could only pray that the thick smoke and dark environment would delay the time for them to find themselves.
"How many times have you prayed today?" Cheng Mo thought, as a staunch materialist, he believed that the act of praying was a shameful betrayal of science!Cheng defaulted that maybe he should pray to Huygens, and of course it could be Bernstein and von Misis, or Kolmogorov.
At this second, Cheng Mo's mind inexplicably flashed countless great mathematicians who have made outstanding contributions in "probability"
I always thought that when the Japanese mathematician Kiyoshi Ito introduced stochastic integrals and stochastic differential equations in 1942 and opened up a new path for the study of stochastic processes, he was finally only a few meters away from the top of the cooling tower.
At this moment, he was also discovered by the guards who rushed over. The beam of light from the strong flashlight swept across the cooling tower twice, and finally shone straight on his body.If you ask him what it feels like to suddenly see his own shadow in the darkness, Cheng Mo believes that he can write an article with thousands of words.
It's all beating around the bush and cursing.
There was a shout from below asking him to stop immediately, Cheng Mo ignored it, he waved his soon-to-be-disabled right hand and continued to climb forward, the light enveloped him, allowing him to see clearly the silver metallic paint on the surface of the cooling tower. There are huge Masonic signs.
The beam of the powerful flashlight shone on it like a full moon, and he was like a monkey climbing a mountain in the moon.
The stairs began to shake, Cheng Mo lowered his head and glanced, two people wearing Ouyu exoskeleton were going up as fast as apes, Cheng Mo suddenly felt that he overestimated himself by saying that he was a monkey, compared to the speed of the enemy, he was just moving Snail climbing a tree.Cheng Mo grabbed the stairs and desperately climbed up, his body was shaking violently, as if he was about to collapse, his body was soaked in sweat, his mask was covered with mist, and his vision was blurred.
There was a gunshot, and the bullet hit the outer wall of the cooling tower, leaving a shallow crater, which bounced off to nowhere.Cheng Mo didn't panic, and calmly glanced at the crater not far away, deduced from the distance between the bullet and himself that the other party just wanted to slow down his climbing the stairs, not kill him, which made Cheng Mo feel at ease, but Not only did the crisis not end, but the people who were chasing him were getting closer and closer.
Cheng Mo looked down again, the two had already climbed halfway in the blink of an eye, Cheng Mo gasped, looked up at the top of the tower that was close to Chi Chi, and groaned twice, ignoring the Oxygen cylinders, struggling to board the platform on the top of the tower.
At this time, he felt that his right hand was completely numb and didn't belong to him at all. He reluctantly switched the oxygen bottle to his left hand, and Cheng Mo ran towards the center of the cooling tower tremblingly.
The sound of stepping on the stairs behind is getting louder, and the pursuers are getting closer, Cheng Mo doesn't care at all, he just wants to drink a sip of water, his throat is about to burn, apart from the strong thirst, the pain of muscle tearing makes his whole body He was almost unable to support himself, and all kinds of torture made his soul want to abandon his broken body.
Cheng Mo's incomparable carrier of nostalgia also wants to have that "God gene".He struggled and ran to the center of the cooling tower, panting heavily, put down the oxygen cylinder beside the bulging lid, and put two grenades beside the lid for backup. The energy stored in "Zong" is running out.
Cheng Mo resisted the needle-like pain, and turned the rudder-like switch with his nearly disabled hands. The sound of "creaking" echoed in the huge data center, like a monster grinding its teeth.The sound of stepping on the stairs exploded, and Cheng Mo looked up and saw a guard rushing up to the top of the tower, quickly raised his submachine gun and pointed it at him, shouting in English: "Don't move, raise your hands immediately. "
Immediately afterwards, another person climbed to the top of the tower, and also pointed a gun at him. The dazzling light shone on his mask, making him almost unable to open his eyes.
Cheng Mo stopped the movement of his hands, closed his eyes and responded loudly: "OK! Don't shoot! Don't shoot!" He pretended to raise his hand, but actually grabbed a grenade. The moment he raised his hand, Cheng Mo pulled He opened the insurance and threw a grenade in the direction where the two were standing.
The gunfire and the explosion flashed at the same time, Cheng Mo ignored it, he believed that the exoskeleton could avoid most of the damage, so he just lowered his head and pointed the top of the helmet towards the direction where the guard was standing, and desperately rotated the rudder switch of the cooling tower cover , I don't know how many bullets the exoskeleton blocked, anyway, Cheng Mo's numb body couldn't feel it at all.
In the rapid gunshots, he lifted the steel cover that was bigger than the manhole cover, and the bullets crackled on the cover. Cheng Mo didn't even look at it, and picked up a grenade and threw it towards the place where the gunfire sounded. , Fighting for a short safe time, Cheng Mo looked down at the inside of the cooling tower. There was no light, and only a dark piece could be seen. The inside of the cooling tower seemed to be an endless dark abyss.
After the grenade exploded, the bullets began to jingle on the cover again, and the sound of footsteps was also approaching.It was too late to take out the bright flashlight to observe the situation, Cheng Mo had no choice, maybe he still had a choice, surrender should save his life, and killing might also allow him to escape, but Cheng Mo acquiesced that it was not the best choice.
Believe in your own judgment and jump into the abyss in front of you is the best choice.
I don't know how much confidence Cheng Mo has to jump down from a height of tens of meters where he can't see the situation clearly. If there is no water in the cooling tower, or the water level is not high enough.
There is only one possibility of death.
Not only that, this cooling tower has to be connected to the Seine River as Cheng Mo speculated, so that Cheng Mo has a chance to escape.If it were not connected to the Seine, his life and death would be unpredictable.
The map that Mr. Armadillo gave him did not include data center information.
Ke Chengmo just believed in his own inference.
For such a large data center, if other heat dissipation methods are used, the power consumption will be astronomical, and it is impossible not to use the Seine River water.
If you were someone else, you would definitely hesitate, get entangled, and give up in the face of huge risks.But Cheng Mo just took a deep breath, bent over to pick up the oxygen cylinder, and jumped into the dark cooling tower amidst the rapid gunshots and footsteps.
At this moment, Cheng Mo's mind went blank, he didn't pray, he didn't think of anything or anyone, and his thinking completely stopped.
After the sound of water splashing, everything became quiet, the sound of gunshots and footsteps disappeared, and Cheng Mo's brain resumed functioning. He opened his eyes and saw himself sinking rapidly in the thick darkness , the surroundings were horribly dark, and the abyss was nothing more than that.He firmly grasped the oxygen cylinder with his left hand, and untied the helmet and mask with his right hand, and the mask and helmet disappeared in an instant.
Holding the oxygen cylinder weighing tens of kilograms, Cheng Mo quickly sank to the bottom of the cooling tower, the water pressure rushed towards all directions, and an absolute silence enveloped him.He couldn't see anything around him, he could only see the air bubbles he exhaled. At this moment, Cheng Mo felt that his lungs were going to be empty, and the strong desire to breathe was devouring his reason.
Cheng Mo stepped on the slippery bottom of the cooling tower, with the oxygen bottle between his legs, put the breathing mask on his mouth, and then fumbled for the switch.He had confirmed the switch of the oxygen cylinder and the amount of oxygen. With full preparation, even when he was jumping back and forth on the verge of death, Cheng Mo remained calm.Turning the switch slightly, Cheng Mo felt fresh pure oxygen rushing towards his face. He took a deep breath and immediately relieved the feeling that his lungs were about to explode.
After solving the imminent survival problem, Cheng Mo felt a little more at ease, and his breathing became much calmer.However, this does not mean that he is safe. He still has to find a pipeline leading to the Seine River. Logically speaking, for the sake of environmental protection, both the water inlet pipe and the water outlet pipe must lead directly to the Seine River.
He took out the military high-light flashlight from his waist and turned it on. The light illuminated a piece of dark green, with countless dust-like plankton floating there.
With the light, Cheng Mo became more and more calm. The quality of the flashlight is very good, but in such a deep water, the range and distance that the bright flashlight can illuminate are very small, and Cheng Mo can't even see the wall of the cooling tower. .He hung the belt tied to the oxygen tank on his arm again, lit the flashlight in his right hand, and walked forward with the oxygen tank in his left hand.The underwater oxygen cylinder is not heavy, it is light, but when walking, there is a sense of oppression in all directions, which is amazing.
Cheng Mo guessed that walking on Mars in a spacesuit probably felt like this.The silence is so suffocating, as if everything is far away, and I am imprisoned in a strange environment where I may die at any time, which is probably the feeling.
As an excellent student with both arts and sciences, and a battle-tested candidate, Cheng Mo didn't have much fear, and even began to imagine that standing on Mars and looking at the earth in the distance, would he feel a sense of loneliness called longing.He also thought of the diving book he had read, which said that diving requires at least two people, one is to help each other; the other is because underwater will produce a dangerous sense of loneliness, which can be fatal in a crisis.
At this time, Cheng Mo had already reached the edge of the cooling tower. With the help of a flashlight, he found the water outlet with a filter along the wall.Cheng Mo used the "Seven Sins" to break open the filter screen. Behind the alloy filter screen was a huge water pump more than two meters high.Cheng Mo looked up at the impeller embedded in the metal components. In the green water, the huge blades looked like the propeller blades of a giant ship.
Cheng Mo wondered if the electricity was cut off, and estimated that he would be sucked in and cut into pieces in an instant.Time is precious, and Cheng Mo has no time to appreciate the spectacular scenery of this other world. He swung the Seven Sins and cut a gap enough for him to pass through between the impellers, and reached the water inlet section and sealing area composed of countless mechanical parts. He controlled Following the Seven Sins to get through the entire water pump, it finally entered the outlet pipe.
At this time, the strong light has been able to completely cover the cross-section of the pipe, and Cheng Mo saw the turquoise wall of the pipe, and green moss-like things covered the entire wall, making it impossible for Cheng Mo to see clearly what material the pipe wall is made of. become.But that doesn't matter either.
Cheng Mo took two steps tentatively, the inner wall of the pipe was too slippery, and it was extremely strenuous to walk, so Cheng Mo tried to switch to a swimming posture.Cheng Mo himself doesn't know how to swim, but he has swam several times in the carrier state. After the brain has experience, the body can do it effortlessly.
At this time, the broken exoskeleton on his body was a little in the way. Cheng Mo held the oxygen cylinder between his legs, and with difficulty removed the exoskeleton full of bullet holes, took off his shoes, and dragged the oxygen tank like a fish. The bottle swims down the seemingly endless depths of the intake pipe.
Unlike diving, except for dense plankton and some green algae around Cheng Mo, there is no living thing related to life. Terrible silence enveloped him, as if he had entered an eternal water coffin.
This loneliness is incomparably great loneliness.
Similar to despair.
Cheng Mo speeded up and swam forward. He remembered the good time when he and Xie Minyun swam in the icy lake. Even if there were dangers everywhere, as long as she was there, the danger was so sweet.
At this moment, he really wanted to see Xie Minyun.
Only her warm embrace can comfort his lonely soul.
