Xia Yinan finally stood at the top of half of the building. The battle had just ended, and they defeated the frenzied infected people—just today.

This is still the meeting building, where they once fought "death".Now looking at the past, the streets are like cobwebs, and there are still a few infected people wandering on the former site of the military area where most of the collapsed.It's just that the lair there has been cleaned up, and the city center is no longer off limits.

Followed by more difficult and dangerous battle.Arnold didn't have a good face. After all, Xia Yinan blinded him in one eye, and he also shot through Xia Yinan's knee.Neither of them tacitly mentioned this matter, and they would not greet each other, nor would they have disputes.

Although Arnold is conceited, he is very capable.For so many years, the army has been hiding in the dark. It is thanks to the leadership of him and several other generals that they can deploy defense lines in a difficult and dangerous environment, and wait until today when the starship is about to be completed.

After several days of discussions, the station finally reached an agreement with the army—the spaceship will take away all members of the station.

Not everyone is willing to leave, and a considerable number of people believe that it is safer to continue shrinking underground than to go to the unknown starry sky.

Now Xia Yinan stood on a high place and looked out, and he could see the wilderness far away.According to Arnold, the starship is just below the surface, and the whole earth will tremble the day it takes off—

Then human beings will take the heavy past and move towards the bright starry sky and the boundless sky.

"...They were able to bury such a large factory underground." Standing beside Xia Yinan, Li Shuo sighed, looking into the distance as well, "I don't have any relevant memories at the military headquarters, it seems to be an absolutely secret operation. .”

"Is it possible to abandon the people on this planet and directly build a spaceship to leave, can it not be a secret? Moreover, the professor was mentally unstable at the time, and it was because of this that the military department excluded him from the plan." Xia Yinan said, "The military department The higher-ups trust Qiao Lang very much, even though he has been dead for hundreds of years, they strictly follow his plan."

"After all, he is the savior of the alliance." Li Shuo teased.

The two sat down on the floor, and the only food they could eat was still bad canned food.Xia Yinan said, "Two days later, you're going to the northern defense line, right?"

"Who will I go if I don't?" Li Shuo snorted, "Just to let the army see my strength."

The army's defense line surrounding the northern part of the city is about to fail.It is estimated that in two days, the terrifying infected people outside the defense line will arrive in the town and attack the station.The army is going to send a lot of people there, and Li Shuo, as the highest combat force at the station, will naturally go there too.

Only by guarding the station and preventing Christopher from taking advantage of it, can the starship take off.

The two began to say nothing, eating a cold dinner.After a while, Li Shuo said, "Have you ever been a hero before?"

"No." Xia Yinan replied, "I'm not interested in it either. I'm mostly a personal enmity this time. No one has ever dared to kill someone in front of me."

"That's pretty good," Li Shuo said, "Being a hero while taking revenge is the best of both worlds."

"This is not my body. This professor doesn't even tell anyone his real name." Xia Yinan said, "I doubt whether the army will recognize Xia Zheng's achievements. But these are none of my business, I am just a passer-by .” He rubbed his browbones, and rarely smiled with distress, “I originally wanted to explore other places outside Pingcheng City, but it seems that I can’t do it now.”

"Then change the world." Li Shuo patted him on the shoulder, "We still have time."

Xia Yinan frowned: "I have a bad premonition, maybe I don't have as much time as I thought. And as long as I die, it's impossible to return to this world, just in case, in case I want to Is the thing I was looking for here? I am already like this, and I have missed a lot of worlds."

Li Shuo smiled: "No matter what, take your time, don't worry too much."

Xia Yinan glanced at him: "What do you mean by that sentence, 'I will definitely die in battle, but not today'?"

"Yes."

"Then how about now? Can you still say this in the battle two days later?" Xia Yinan smiled, with the usual little bit of bad jokes, a twilight fell in such eyes, " If you can come back, I will really think about it."

"What are you thinking about?" Li Shuo didn't realize it all at once.

"What do you say?"

Li Shuo's eyes lit up, he suddenly came to his senses, and approached him: "Really? Did I finally impress you because of my handsomeness?"

"Really. But obviously you don't have those two attributes." Xia Yinan replied, pushing his head away, "So what, do you still have the original confidence?"

"...I'll be back." Li Shuo said with a smile.

When the team was about to close, the light of the setting sun was about to disappear.Xia Yinan stood up again and looked at the edge of the building. The wind lifted the corner of his clothes: "...Do you think this is a good time?"

"What?" Li Shuo didn't respond again.

Xia Yinan lowered his eyes, and a strange mark appeared on the back of his right hand.The imprint shone with a faint golden light, but it was not a color of the world, it was more like a million-ton melted gold mixed with starlight, or the bright golden sun was suddenly ignited.

"You say," he repeated, "is this a good time? Can the spaceship really go to space and find a habitable place?"

"I don't know," Li Shuo said, "but at least I have the confidence to give them a chance to take off and try. If you really want to say something," he looked at the medical soldiers running around at the bottom, and those who were still covered in blood Soldiers, each of them has perseverance written all over their faces, and the scars on their bodies have lasted for many years. "I think so. There are so many people who are still working hard to live. Is this not enough?"

Xia Yinan looked far away.Pingcheng City is a beautiful place. Whenever you look down from a height like this, you will be shocked by its size and age.Every street has traces of battle, the scars that prove that he is alive.

Entering the goal, the morning sun, evening clouds and wild wind.

The golden light of the imprint enveloped the entire city at that moment, and at the same time expanded outward until it disappeared into the horizon.No one could notice the light, Xia Yinan smiled: "That's right, so be it." He turned and walked downstairs, "Go back, I have to see Kelsen tomorrow."

The next day they went to the beach accompanied by several soldiers.The sea was far away from Pingcheng City, but it was still within the line of defense. It was a blessing that these infected people could not swim.

Abandoned military sites by the sea have opened their doors.Under the control of Alpha, the only diving equipment is activated, floating up and down in the sea water.

It was a one-man submarine of the former alliance, which was round in shape and was originally used for underwater scientific research projects.

"If Maestra is still there, there is no way for this device to reach its depth." A soldier reminded at the end, "The chance of success is less than one percent. Even if it is possible to reach it, there is no chance to return. Water Pressure will ruin everything."

"It doesn't matter," Kelsen replied with a slightly hunched waist, "as long as you can reach the top of Maestra, even if you sink directly, you have reached it."

Before leaving, he paid a military salute to Xia Yinan and Li Shuo, and then entered the submarine.

A few seconds before the cabin door closed, he smiled and wrinkled his eyes: "I'm sorry I did these things to the station, but I can't pay back. At night, if there are ethereal singing voices on the sea, That is the silver mermaid riding the tide, carrying my greetings."

Then the submarine descended and fell into the deep sea from the bottom of the building, never to be seen again.

When going back, you have to walk a certain distance along the long coastline.There are soft and fine white sands, and the sea is deep blue.

Even after a long time, Xia Yinan would think of these days when he looked at the rough sea.He wondered if the old painter had arrived there.

Will he cry or laugh?Does the one percent chance favor the chaser?Is there a silver mermaid running through the old city with a lantern in hand and long hair flying?

Soon the ground will do its best to push the spacecraft and the hope of mankind up into the sky.The distance from the sky to the deepest sea is about [-] million meters, which is the distance between the future and him.

A salty wind blows from the sea, and the sky is blue.Xia Yinan took one last look at the scene, then walked inland on the soft sand.

He told Li Shuo that killing "Famine" was entirely out of personal enmity.but it is not the truth.He had no interest in being a hero after five years of life and death, but there are some battles that he has to fight in this life.

In 2176, he landed on a solid ground, the ten thousand meters down is the immortal obsession, and the one million meters up is the dazzling stars.

And the old city on the ground will be guarded by him.

……

Half of the lights on the platform were out. Xia Yinan sat cross-legged on the cold ground, lowering his eyes slightly.

Li Shuo has already led the team to the northern defense line, so I don't know how the battle is going.Now is not the time for him to care about this. From time to time, there are several teams of soldiers rushing past on the platform, the exoskeleton makes a mechanical sound when it hits the ground, and the wailing of the wounded comes from time to time.

He put a long knife made of black blades on his lap, put his hands on the handle and the end of the knife respectively, and carried a spare high-frequency short knife and gun at his waist. The bullets were fully loaded with D06, and just one shot could give "Famine" Cause heavy damage.

The tense voice of the dispatcher was on the earphone channel. He breathed slowly and remained silent for a long time, trying to keep his head clear.

Now that the "Yellow Seal" has been used, there is no room for turning back.

A person once told him: "If, if you think that this world and human beings can continue to go on, then you must use this mark." Her hand gently caressed his cheek, and there was a smell of freshly baked bread on it, "You have to remember these things carefully."

As she wished, Xia Yinan couldn't even remember her face, but still remembered this sentence.Unlike the previous world, when he used the Yellow Seal, he didn't know whether the battle could be won.

In this battle, he was determined to die. If they all died together, it would be too late to use the mark.For some reason, he has great confidence—he believes that the starship can bring hope to the distant future.

This night will be the hardest time.A large number of soldiers were heading north, and the station was unprecedentedly short of manpower. If the "famine" was going to come, it would almost certainly be this night—his period of weakness was about to pass, and this was the best chance.

Concerned about the large thermal weapons of the army, it is impossible for "Famine" to appear with a huge body.At this time, the Jiri is about to arrive at the South Station, and this is the place where he is most likely to appear.

The blood is boiling, and the nerves that have been battle-hardened are tense.The perception beyond human beings is working, and he can see even the tiniest dust in the air clearly while breathing, and the hoarse coughing of patients in the distance, and the whispering of soldiers are all poured into his ears.

Then, Xia Yinan heard a slight sound.

It only took him a few seconds to determine where the sound came from - directly above the subway tunnel.Almost instantly, he jumped out with a knife in his hand, ran over a distance of several hundred meters, smashed the thick glass of the platform and landed in the middle of the tunnel.

Soil fell from the sky, and the uninvited guest, dressed in loose clothes, fell to the ground. Because of his embarrassing figure, he supported himself on the ground with his hands to stand firm.

Christopher's face was still covered with dust, and he and Xia Yinan looked at each other in the dark tunnel.The lights of the platform came from one side, dividing their faces into light and dark sides, one side had dark eyes, and the other had light eyes.
