In the end of the world, I become an immortal alone

Several dialog boxes popped up simultaneously, almost crashing Zhou Zhengde's communicator.

There was no way around it; precision equipment was prioritized for the Joint Defense Force, and this kind of communication device shouldn't even be in Mid-City.

[My Mom Is Forever Young: Wen Ying is in trouble. Her pulse disappeared, and the last location from her life detection chip was on the 49th floor of the Lower City, but the exact area is unknown.]

[Some Unimportant Law Enforcement Officer from Upper City: Spiritual energy users at the 13th Institute are rioting! More than thirty spiritual energy users have rushed out of the 13th Institute's building, and they're heading for the elevators! Captain! Holy crap! The spiritual energy users from Fortress 76 are running out too! There are thirty-eight of them!]

[Goddess Wei Na (Former): The Purge Force on the 45th floor has suddenly begun to move! They seem to have received orders to start heading downwards! I'll go ask right away!]

Zhou Zhengde's mind buzzed, and he almost exploded.

What was happening down below?

Just because An Xi died, the spiritual energy users stationed at Fortress 76 were all mobilized? There were even a few C-level spiritual energy users among them?

Of course, Zhou Zhengde couldn't see that a certain Minister of Biology, who had just seen his mother's pulse signal suddenly disappear, was currently roaring madly in his office.

Zhou Zhengde pondered slightly and immediately began to reply.

To former girlfriend Wei Na: [Immediately notify Mu Liang to leave the 49th floor! The spiritual energy users stationed at our fortress have all been dispatched!]

To former teammate: [Hide yourself, delete the communication records on the server, thank you.]

To Minister: [Why did Sister Ban go to the 49th floor?]

After waiting for a dozen seconds...

[Some Unimportant Law Enforcement Officer from Upper City: Don't worry about me! Boss! Everyone is waiting for you to come back! Anonymized.]

[My Mom Is Forever Young: She only told me that she was going to the 45th floor to supervise, to facilitate the subsequent takeover of the Blackfire Gang's facilities, so that your spiritual energy users couldn't destroy those expensive facilities anymore.]

[Goddess Wei Na (Former): The captain here said that the order was issued by the Upper City Command. The Blackfire Gang started a fierce firefight half an hour ago, and there was a large-scale explosion. The spiritual energy users at the 13th Institute were killed.]

[Goddess Wei Na (Former): I'm going down with the Silver Party people, and I'm already trying to contact him. Are you sure the receiver on his helmet won't be damaged in the battle? There's been no response.]

Zhou Zhengde immediately replied to Wei Na: [The receiver is located between his eyebrows. If it's damaged there, he's probably dead.]

Zhou Zhengde thought for a while and replied to his mother, the minister:

[Mother, I know you have to plan for your faction and political position, but I still think this matter is a bit excessive.]

After a while, two more messages popped up.

[My Mom Is Forever Young: I know what you're disgusted by, child, but you must consider, if we can control the functional modules of the Blackfire Gang in our hands, can't we effectively supervise the actions of these gangs?]

[My Mom Is Forever Young: Ignoring the overall justice is not true justice. Remember your grandfather's words: The fortress is fighting the Blade Beasts, and hundreds of thousands of humans are a whole. For the sake of the overall survival, we can sacrifice some individuals.]

Zhou Zhengde replied with a dark face:

[Me: But Grandpa also said that the whole is composed of each individual. If we don't value each individual, the whole will soon disintegrate.]

[My Mom Is Forever Young: So, it requires a balance. The fortress's ecosystem is the best balance right now, with the Upper, Middle, and Lower Cities each performing their duties.]

[Zhou Zhengde: But we haven't given the people of the Middle and Lower Cities enough choices! The basic human rights of the people in the Lower City cannot be guaranteed!]

[My Mom Is Forever Young: I am the Minister of Internal Affairs, and I have access to all the data inside the fortress. I can answer your question... We simply can't afford to support them.]

[Zhou Zhengde: Then why let so many people reproduce in the Lower City!]

[My Mom Is Forever Young: Because human individuals are themselves a resource. Including you and me, we must be sacrificed for the sake of the race when necessary. I have a self-destruct chip installed in my neck to prevent the fortress's data from being stolen by Mimic Blade Beasts.]

Zhou Zhengde threw the communicator on the table, raised his hand to cover his brow, and leaned back in his chair.

A sense of powerlessness.

Every time he talked to his mother, he was filled with this sense of powerlessness.

However, he couldn't convince his mother, and he could only make himself adhere to the principles in the political textbooks.

Although Zhou Zhengde was currently sitting in the security office on the thirteenth floor.

But he seemed to have already heard it;

Heard the radio sounds of the fortress's Purge Force advancing.

...

"Buzz... All squads, the battle plan has been distributed to each squad's command system. The target is to eliminate the Blackfire Gang, and to kill all armed individuals and life forms and mechanical entities that attack us. Each squad leader, report."

"Received."

"Received."

"Received, Commander! The fast descent channel has been opened!"

"All squads, prepare for rapid descent in order of number... Tell these warrior cubs not to look at the scenery of the Lower City! This is another world of the fortress, just like if we saw the internal organs of the human body dissected, we would also be disgusted. This is the internal organs of the fortress."

"Received, the drone swarm has been activated, and the mechanical vanguard has been activated."

"Received, my unit will descend first."

"Received."

"My unit is ready and will begin descent."

"The flight support unit will seize air supremacy. Don't let our warriors be sacrificed in internal operations."

"Air supremacy has begun."

Suddenly.

"Buzz... Mu Liang? Mu Liang, can you hear me? Retreat quickly! The Purge Force is here! They will kill all armed individuals in the designated area. Or you can just throw away your weapon first! I'm bringing hired mercenaries to support you! Mu Liang! Answer quickly if you hear me! You've already taken down one D-level spiritual energy user and killed two or three hundred armed individuals before and after! You can stop fighting now! Leave the rest to these ferocious regular troops! Mu Liang! Mu Liang!"

"Buzz... Doctor Wei Na, this is the full-frequency command system. You've connected to the wrong channel. The communication unit on your helmet seems to be part of our equipment."

"Uh, sorry! Eh? Is that my ex-ex-ex-ex-boyfriend?"

Wei Na, who was speeding down the winding highway on a motorcycle, immediately made amends:

"I'm actually reminding everyone that there's one of our people down there. He can't stand what the gangs are doing, so he's... eliminating evil and defending the righteous."

Commander: "Continue the rapid descent. Don't chat on the command channel! All squad leaders, switch to 99230! Wei Na! Tell your new boyfriend to leave that area quickly if he doesn't want to endure my jealousy!"

"Okay, okay, you guys go ahead."

On the motorcycle, behind the helmet, Wei Na's face visibly turned red.

It wasn't because she was shy; she hadn't felt these girlish emotions for many years.

It was purely out of shame for her unprofessionalism.

She continued to call out to Mu Liang in the channel, and on sections of the road where she had to slow down, she subconsciously looked at the center of the forty-seventh floor.

There was a huge noise there.

The shouts of the gang members around her rang out:

"Look!"

"Crap! It's cracking!"

"The fortress's regular army! It's been more than twenty years! We're seeing them again! The Purge Force... it's the Purge Force! Woohoo!"

"Is the middle section openable? No wonder they don't let us touch it usually!"

In the center of the forty-sixth, forty-seventh, and forty-eighth floors, corresponding to the position of the central elevator shaft above the forty-fifth floor, cracks appeared simultaneously. Giant fan blades shifted up and down, slowly rotating, and finally retracted into a circular frame with a diameter of twenty meters.

A vertical 'atrium' connecting the upper and lower levels had already appeared.

On the edge of the atrium, a dozen high-strength material ropes quickly fell.

Accompanied by a loud buzzing sound, a swarm of drones appeared in the center. Each drone was spherical in shape and equipped with short-barreled machine guns, miniature missiles, and other firepower units.

Following closely behind were sixteen all-terrain combat robots over three meters tall. Their bodies were covered with gun barrels and cannon barrels, and they were descending vertically along the ropes.

Soldiers wearing camouflage combat uniforms, tactical helmets, and tactical backpacks were descending at a constant speed with the help of rope-assisted systems.

Drone swarms, combat robots, fully armed soldiers...

The eyes of the gang thugs instantly became incomparably clear.

Wei Na couldn't help but curse and hurriedly shouted, "Mu Liang! Mu Liang! Mu Liang, can you hear me! Is this communication system not working!"

Perhaps it was because a passage had been opened between the upper and lower levels.

"Buzz... Doctor Wei Na? Is that you?"

"This is the helmet's built-in communication system! Mu Liang, run! Leave the Blackfire Gang's area! The farther away from the Blackfire Gang, the better!"

Wei Na shouted quickly:

"The Purge Force has suddenly been dispatched! They won't distinguish whether you're a gang member or not. If you have a weapon and dare to resist, you'll be killed! Run!"

"I've already seen them. Many drones are swooping over," Wang Ji Xuan's voice carried a hint of wind noise, "Help me contact Wan Lijin's people. Let Captain Zhou do it. I owe Captain Zhou another favor. I need to take a dozen or so children away from there."

"A dozen or so?" Wei Na scolded, "So you have so many illegitimate children! And you were pretending to be pure with me!"

"These are some orphans. I think the Middle City should be able to give them some help."

Wang Ji Xuan instructed:

"Remember, contact Wan Lijin's side first. Don't put yourself in danger because of saving people.

"I can evacuate from here. Later, I'll blow up the Blackfire Gang's escape route... I'm currently in their escape route, installing some booby traps..."

"Alright, alright, you still don't like listening to what others say. I'll contact them right away! Who told you to be a big shot."

Wei Na complained.

In the tunnel, Wang Jixuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Was Wei Na implying that he was headstrong?

He quickly dropped several miniature hand grenades wrapped with thin wires.

There was no more sound in the helmet.

He looked at the large sniper rifle in his hand, which he would have to return later, with reluctance, disassembled it, slung it over his shoulder, and sprinted with all his might.

A few minutes later.

Fire?

Wang Jixuan's intuition suddenly alerted him; there was a rolling wave of fire ahead.

He casually made a hand seal, pointed his sword fingers at his forehead, and chanted:

"Heaven is round, Earth is square, the laws are in nine chapters, golden light quickly manifest, protect my true self!"

A faint golden film appeared around him.

Wang Jixuan, while speeding along, raised his hand and slapped the edge of the corridor, his figure like flight, sticking to the upward-sloping steps ahead and darting out, crashing into a sea of fire.

Wang Jixuan was stunned.

The entire wooden house was burning fiercely.

He immediately wanted to rush to the second floor, but his footsteps suddenly stopped.

He didn't detect the aura of any living beings.

The central beam of the wooden house was about to collapse.

Wang Jixuan flashed out of the window, and with several consecutive leaps, his figure stood steadily on the top of a large shed, looking around.

Thomas's car was also burning, and the air was filled with the smell of burnt meat.

A flash of white appeared in Wang Jixuan's vision.

Beside the pitted cement road, the girl sat obediently next to a hand-carried suitcase, her white dress like a lotus flower blooming in the night.

"Yezi… Yezi!"

Wang Jixuan jumped directly over, raising his hand to take off his helmet and holding it in his right hand.

Yezi, who was originally in a daze, looked up, and a few glimmers of light appeared in her dull pupils, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Brother Tian!"

Wang Jixuan's figure landed, and he rushed forward two steps, then stopped subconsciously, his pupils suddenly shrinking.

Yezi smiled and opened her arms to greet him, but when she got closer, she noticed that Wang Jixuan's face was a little pale in the firelight, and she slowed down her pace with some trepidation.

On her clean little face, there was a speck of almost invisible blood.

"Welcome home, Brother Tian! I've cleaned up the house, you really came back to pick me up, Yezi will also be diligent in doing housework in the future!"

"Where… where are your younger siblings?"

Wang Jixuan's voice was trembling.

"They, they've left." Yezi replied crisply.

"Where are your younger siblings!"

"They've left!"

"What do you mean by 'left'! Answer me! What do you mean by 'left'! Where did the baleful aura on you come from! What did you do, what did you do!"

"Brother Tian…"

Bang!

A bullet crater appeared beside Yezi's feet.

Wang Jixuan's breathing was a little disordered, and his right hand and arm holding the pistol were trembling uncontrollably, and he suddenly turned and ran into the darkness.

The light in his pupils was slightly broken, and his Dao heart was constantly trembling.

"Brother Tian…"

Yezi's lips trembled, and she couldn't help but blur with tears, covering her face and slowly squatting down.

"Wouldn't it be better if we just left together… We can't take care of them if we leave here… Yezi helped you clean up, isn't Yezi good enough… Brother Tian… Don't you want Yezi anymore… Brother Tian… Come back…"

The burning handmade car in the distance made a burst.

The wooden house collapsed with a series of crackling sounds.

The girl's sobs gradually turned into a chuckle.

The fire, became even more intense.
