game zero

Finally, the layers of fog gradually dissipated, and the pouring rain fell.And that monster finally fully appeared in the air, it escaped from the illusory space as if the seal had been lifted, and landed on the earth.

The deserted city was instantly shrouded in a terrifying cloud.

Those people raised their heads and could see the monster's sharp minions and blood-red eyes without using binoculars.

The monster let out a cry, the sound was sharp, as if it could pierce people's eardrums, and the sound waves spread out with the flapping of its wings. Suddenly, a killing intent enveloped the entire city.

On the observatory, He Bai's expression finally lost the former ease, and his eyes were fixed on the huge monster in the sky.

"For the first round of artillery fire, use a small laser cannon." He Bai calmly ordered.

Immediately, from the nearby attic, there were beams of light in every direction.

In previous wars, experience has long been obtained. These lasers are not enough to cause significant damage to monsters, but they can also make monsters fearful.

All of a sudden, the monster was surrounded by beams of light, and several laser beams hit its wings. Although it was raining, people could still smell it, and there was a burnt smell in the air.

"It hit, hit more than a dozen rounds!" Some people cheered.

"Don't underestimate the enemy!" As soon as He Bai's words fell, the monster swooped down, flapping its huge wings, and a gust of wind flashed by, and the people on the top floor were blown off. Let them hang in mid-air.

The monster still wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, so it let out a cry and swooped down again.It wants to eat these tiny humans.

"It's now!" He Bai stood up suddenly, "The laser cannon is fired!"

Following his words, a beam of light suddenly flew up from the ground and accurately shot into the monster's chest. The beam then penetrated the monster's body and appeared behind the monster.

The monster let out a tragic cry, and its huge body directly slammed into a nearby building!

boom!

There was a loud noise, almost suspicious, and everything in the world was destroyed accordingly.

"Ah!" Amidst the exclamation of the people, the entire building collapsed almost instantly, leaning to the side.

Even He Bai's observation deck was affected, and the tremor lasted for half a minute before everything gradually quieted down.

It was still raining, and there were constant sounds of rustling raindrops falling to the ground, but now, this rain was not as bloody as before, it had become an ordinary rain.

He Bai's ears were still ringing. He stood up and asked his subordinates, "Report the battle situation and the number of battle damage."

The adjutant quickly counted the numbers, "Report, the battle lasted five minutes and 42 seconds. A total of 106 ordinary laser cannons and one laser cannon were fired. Currently, 17 people were injured, including 2 seriously injured. No one died for the time being."

He Bai let out a long breath, and then taught his subordinates: "Look, death will not come because you are afraid or not. This thing depends on luck. Today, everyone's luck is good." He paused and said , "Go to a nearby city for a drink in the evening, my treat."

He Bai still thought he was lucky, this time he was so lucky that the monster happened to land on a city that was abandoned during the Great Depression.

If such a thing happened in a well-rebuilt downtown area, the consequences would be almost unimaginable.

It's just that He Bai is also a little helpless, such days will continue for a while.

Before the implementation of the Water Drop Project, the casualties of ordinary people cannot be controlled, and what mankind is facing is destined to be a doomsday disaster.

And through the system, it is the only way to reset the timeline.

He Bai walked down from the observation deck. Because the city's power system has long been deserted, this place is like an isolated island, and the elevator has long been out of service.

He Bai strode across the abandoned street, the rain was much lighter. Below, the wounded had been settled, and his subordinates were cleaning up the ruins, and recovering the corpse of the monster, preparing it for scientific research in the institute.

Seeing that everything was progressing in an orderly manner, He Bai took out the satellite communicator and called the Xiao family, "Hey, Mr. Xiao, monster No. 233 has been cleaned up. Yes, a new type of laser cannon was used. Um, We will feed back various data later. Okay, okay..."

On the other end of the phone, a gray-haired old man has been listening to He Bai's report, asking a few questions from time to time.After the call was over, the old man hung up the phone and stood up from the chair, holding the crutches with his old hands, unable to suppress the trembling of his body.

He is the current head of the Xiao family, Xiao Qize, who is 72 years old this year.Due to years of research on those high-end radiation weapons, his body has already been corroded by those invisible and intangible things to the point of being riddled with holes.In order to keep his sanity, he refused to keep him alive with newer drugs.

Now every day, he feels his chest being stabbed by something, and every morning when he opens his eyes, it is more difficult. He knows that maybe his time is coming.

The old man walked through the long corridor. On the wall on the right side of the corridor, there were portraits of the heads of the Xiao family. Among them, there were two daughters in three years. Prosperity does not decline, relying on the leadership of the Patriarch.In the past 20 years, the Xiao family has been doing research on weapons. Those things make human beings die and live. After experiencing the defeat of the Great Depression, the Xiao family reached its peak.

It was eleven o'clock in the morning.

The butler stepped forward and said, "Old Xiao, those people are waiting for you in the study."

Xiao Qize nodded, walked into the study, and sat on a chair in the middle of the study. In the study, standing with their heads bowed, were four of his cronies, and one was a family lawyer.

The old man sat on the chair, looked around, and the old voice sounded, "Everyone is here today, and I am running out of time. So I am here to show you my will, and announce the next The matter of the Patriarch of the Xiao family."

At his position and time, the old man has not shy away from it.He has always been a man of his word, grasping all the real power in the Xiao family, no one can challenge his authority.

After speaking, the old man took out the will from the safe, and the few cronies had already guessed that such a day would come, so they respectfully took over the will.

"Old Xiao..." The expression on someone's face changed subtly.

"The next Patriarch is actually..."

"This……"

Several people were obvious, and none of them guessed this candidate.

"What? Do you all think that Xiao Chengmo can't afford this position?" Elder Xiao said slowly, "As for the candidate for Patriarch, I already decided five years ago."

"The next head of the Xiao family must be someone who is extremely talented in weapon research. Although we have a professional research and development team, the person in charge must have his own ideas. There are more and more space cracks. If If no new type of weapon can be developed, human beings will face doomsday. Second, the head of the Xiao family must be a person with kindness in his heart. I hope he can bless the most basic principle of human beings - kindness, but this kindness is not Unconditional, bottomless kindness.”

"However, since Mr. Xiao has already appointed him as the next Patriarch, why did he let him go to No. [-] Prison?" A subordinate raised this question. At that time, Mr. Xiao suddenly let Xiao Chengmo enter No. [-] Prison. I thought that this young man had already been eliminated early.

"Because I want him to experience the dangers of the system, know the evil in the world, and let him experience the trough and despair of life. Moreover, if he is not in Prison Zero, he will be more dangerous. Sometimes the more dangerous the place, the safer it is." In the past few years, I have also made a plan at any time, if Xiao Chengmo dies, then how to plan the plan, but since he survived, I will fulfill my promise and bring him back." The old man said As he spoke, his eyes sparkled.There must be many people who will not understand his approach, but these are the best capital and wealth he can leave to Xiao Chengmo.

While his elder brothers are good at dancing, happy and enjoying everything that the family brings to them, he is always facing the test of life and death.

After hearing the old man's explanation, the subordinates bowed their heads and said, "Yes, since it is the Patriarch's choice, we will definitely try our best to assist the young master."

Xiao Qize nodded in satisfaction, and announced: "As for this will and the candidate for this new heir, please keep it a secret until my death. When I die, it will be the time when Xiao Chengmo inherits the Xiao family. When the time comes, I will I will announce the identity of the Patriarch to all media, and I will also send messages to all my political friends, hoping that they will continue to support the Xiao family."

Several subordinates nodded one after another.

"Well, that's all I want to talk about today. If you have nothing else to do, go out."

The people in the study retreated, and the room was empty and quiet.

Xiao Qize closed his eyes slightly, recalling the last time he saw Xiao Chengmo in this study a few years ago.

At that time, the sunlight shone down and projected onto Xiao Chengmo's face. He listened to Xiao Qize's words and understood the meaning.

A grandfather actually used a bunch of so-called family righteousness to throw an innocent grandson into a very dangerous prison.Ordinary people would definitely find it difficult to accept such a thing, but Xiao Chengmo was extremely calm.

"Afraid?"

"Well," the boy nodded, "It's a lie to say I'm not afraid, but I will work hard."

"Don't you want to know why?"

"Grandpa naturally has his reasons." Xiao Chengmo looked up at him without asking the reason.He is used to putting himself in a lower position.As the unfavored illegitimate child in the family, he lived a particularly low-key life.

"Well, you paid for the family, and the family will remember all this, but there are some things that you still need to rely on yourself." The old man looked at the immature boy who was only a teenager in front of him, took his hand and said: "Grandpa I promise you that one day, my family will pick you up."

Xiao Chengmo looked at him with doubts in his eyes. He has always been a little afraid of grandpa. He would assess their homework, ask them all kinds of ideas and decisions, and ask some strange questions. For him, this grandpa He didn't show too much concern, he didn't know if this was what grandpa comforted him.But he knew that his grandfather kept his word and never lied to anyone.

It's just that one day, how far will it be?

The memories were over, and after a while, the old man opened his eyes. The earth has reached a critical turning point, and the urgent thing now is to advance all the current progress.

He believed the words of the prophet.

Only human beings can save human beings.
