Today is August 8th, and it is also the ninth day since Meng woke up to this heavy dream.

In nine days, he witnessed with his own eyes the completion of the central tower in the center of the city, which carried the last hope of mankind, and the four auxiliary towers at the four corners of the city, but every time he could only watch from a distance, whether it was the central tower or the four auxiliary towers There are very strict security around the tower, not to mention walking up to see this doomsday spectacle, even if you can't get close.

But today is different, Meng Xing was fortunate to visit these five pagodas in person, of course not because of his own ability, but because of Wen Rulan's honor.

The end is coming. After the sun rises and sets for the last time on August 8, an unprecedented cold wave will sweep across the earth. This planet will become a frozen snowfield in the eternal night, and all life will freeze under the ice and snow.

Fortunately, the debugging work for the artificial sun led by Wen Rulan has basically been completed, and only the final deployment is needed.Wen Rulan's job today is to go to the four auxiliary towers and the central tower respectively, and deploy the systems in sequence.

After everything is ready, the government will officially launch the artificial sun at midnight tonight.

At that time, the cold night will be dispelled by the brilliance of the artificial sun, and there will be eternal night outside Noah's city, but there will always be bright day in Noah's city.

This is the miracle of the end and a new era for mankind.

A new era of light and hope.

Noah City began to be emptied on the evening of August 8th, and began to accept outside ticket holders from August 7th. After a day, the empty Noah City gradually became lively.

Wen Rulan's first stop today was the auxiliary tower in the northeast corner. Their entire research team, more than [-] people, was picked up by a special car sent by the government, accompanied by security personnel.

As a family member, Meng Xing took this special car.During the journey of the special car, he noticed that the streets were much denser than yesterday.

People were walking on the street. They probably had just entered the city, and they were still carrying bags, big and small, and were about to go to the residence arranged by the government.Their faces are not the same, but they are filled with the same joy, full of hope and warmth.

Because they are lucky, in this doomsday screening, they are qualified to survive.

But a few kilometers away, outside the edge of Noah City, it is a completely different situation.

After all, Meng Xing is a non-staff member. Although he stepped on Wen Rulan's back door to the auxiliary tower in the northeast, he can only stay outside which does not involve core secrets.

Today, all five towers are going to be deployed. The time is tight and the task is heavy, so there is no time to say anything. Wen Rulan briefly talked to Meng Xing, and then led the other researchers in the team into the internal control room of the auxiliary tower.

The control room was at the top of the tower, and Meng Xing was left in a lounge in the middle of the tower.The lounge is also equipped with a viewing platform, with floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides. Standing by the window and looking out, you can have a clear view of the entire Noah City.

Meng Xing was bored, so he wanted to go to the viewing platform to have a look.He first looked in the direction of Noah's city. As he saw on the way here, there were many small black spots in the empty urban area, which were all people who had just entered the city.

They smiled and joked with their companions from time to time, and looked at the city where they were about to settle with curiosity and expectation.

But Meng Xing walked to the other side of the viewing platform, and all he saw was the icy snow field.

The white snow field was split by the high-voltage power grid, like ugly and hideous scars.When Meng Xing passed by the edge of the urban area yesterday, he only saw a single grid, but today it has been laid with triple grids.

The auxiliary towers are located at the farthest corner of Noah City, and they themselves are the dividing line of Noah City.But beyond this demarcation line, there is also a protective line surrounded by a triple grid.

The distance between each grid is about 100 meters, and the outermost grid is a full kilometer away from the auxiliary tower.

And outside the outermost power grid, there should have been the same empty snowfield, but Meng Xing saw black spots that were many times denser than those in the city.

Those too are people, desperate people, angry people, unhappy people.

The whitewashed peace is like a wall made of paper. It looks good and solid, but in fact, a hole is poked.

After Qi Ruiwen's speech yesterday, accompanied by a large number of account bans, the overwhelming public opinion was forcibly reversed, but people are not puppets, nor are they rigid machines. If their tongues are blocked, they can always find new ways to speak out.

Moreover, under the countless conclusive evidence, Qi Ruiwen's hypocritical lie no longer has half the credibility.If yesterday's public opinion was only one-sided anger and dissatisfaction, today it is directly reversed.

The act of banning the account is tantamount to adding fuel to the flames. Although it has achieved temporary calm, it has further angered the public.

They contacted each other in various ways, and then gathered in groups to besiege outside Noah's city together.The number of people was more than three times higher than what Meng Xing saw yesterday. Therefore, in order to prevent their riots, the government tripled the protective grid.

The triple high-voltage power grid, as well as the armed soldiers guarding the power grid, temporarily controlled the situation.

People protested and shouted in dissatisfaction outside the power grid, but after all, they were deterred by the force of the other party, and it has not yet evolved into a more serious violent conflict.

But it is only temporary, no one can tell how long this confrontation will last.

Qi Ruiwen was also betting that he couldn't admit that lie himself, that the so-called fair screening was just a scam.Even though he openly and honestly explained the reasons for the black-box operation yesterday, stating that for the long-term development of mankind, the choice of leaving the elite is correct, but ordinary people who have been abandoned will not accept it.

There are people with lofty ideals who are willing to dedicate their lives to righteousness in the world, but more are ordinary people struggling to survive.No reason can persuade them to accept the fate of being abandoned, so Qi Ruiwen can only lie.

He knew the consequences of lying, and that growing anger and desperation could turn into horrific violence.People in despair are irrational, and after the despair is gone, all conscience and humanity are swallowed up, leaving only the malice that perishes together.

Qi Ruiwen is betting on the military's defense capabilities, as long as the last two days are strictly guarded, no, it's less than two days, a little more than one day, and the cold wave will come after the sun sets tomorrow.

In the world, there is no distinction between people outside the city and people inside the city, because the people outside the city are gone.

Just hold on to these last 30+ hours...

In fact, from the perspective of overall strength, Qi Ruiwen has a very high chance of winning, because although there are far fewer people in the city than outside the city, the number of soldiers who can fight is even less than [-].

But they have the most advanced weapons, sufficient firearms and ammunition, and fortifications. They are well-trained soldiers who are prohibited by orders, and they are just ordinary people who are unorganized and undisciplined.

What combat capabilities can these ordinary people have?They don't even have any guns and weapons, at most they can wave a kitchen knife dissatisfiedly twice, what can they actually do?

The assailant who attacked the entrance of Noah City with gasoline yesterday was just a very special case, and the government has also strengthened protection, and even issued an order to shoot proactively according to the situation, so as to prevent such incidents from happening again.

It stands to reason that Meng Xing doesn't need to worry too much, because the government's protection has been done very well, but he still has uneasy worries.

Because that was written in the ending at the beginning, on August 8, Wen Rulan died in the doomsday.

According to Meng Xing's previous experience, things will definitely not be smooth sailing, there will definitely be some unexpected changes, but before the real changes come, he has nothing to guard against and nowhere to hide.

He can only wait, waiting for the moment when Tiandao really does it.

Amid anxiety and anxiety, Meng Xing spent three hours.It took three hours for Wen Rulan to finally deploy the auxiliary tower. When he came out of the control room, he was urged to take a car to the next auxiliary tower before he had time to talk to Meng Xing.

The artificial sun will start at zero o'clock, and it is already 11:[-] noon. They have just deployed an auxiliary tower, and the time is really rushed.

Meng Xing knew the seriousness, so he didn't bother Wen Rulan, who was surrounded by his colleagues to discuss the deployment. He just followed behind silently, and silently got into the same car with Wen Rulan. Finally, as before, Wen Rulan led the team into the auxiliary In the control room of the tower, he remained in the lounge.

The shape of the four auxiliary towers is exactly the same, and the internal structure is also exactly the same. The control room is also on the top floor, and the lounge is also equipped with floor-to-ceiling windows for convenient viewing.

Meng Xing looked at the auxiliary tower in the southeast corner for a while. Like the northeast direction, there is still a triple power grid outside Noah City, and there are still dense crowds of people outside the power grid.

The crowd confronted the soldiers with guns across the power grid, and the atmosphere seemed a little more tense than before.Amidst the roar, someone grabbed the snow on the ground, kneaded it into hard snow, and threw it at the soldiers in the grid.

This is not a slapstick, but a catharsis of despair, and the strength of the snow throwing is even more unreserved.Although the soldiers wore helmets and protective clothing, they could not avoid being injured and hurt by the snow.

But they didn't shoot, because although the superiors had issued an order to shoot according to the situation, it was an extremely unavoidable situation. Shooting was equivalent to the beginning of a war, and it was equivalent to completely antagonizing people outside the city.

Once the gunshots are fired, the public will become more angry and more difficult to control.

So they restrained, endured, and did not make any counterattacks, just like a pine, guarding the border of Noah City.

But they didn't fight back, and people didn't calm down or let it go.The source of their real anger is not these soldiers, but the government that deceived them and took away their chances of survival.

But Qi Ruiwen didn't make any public response after yesterday, neither lie nor truth.

Because either of the two will intensify the conflict, but so will silence.

With the experience of the first round, the deployment of the auxiliary tower in the southeast corner was a little faster, and it only took two hours.Coupled with the time spent on the road, it was 2 pm when Meng Xing and his party arrived at the third auxiliary tower in the southwest corner.

Meng Xing was still left in the lounge. He observed the outside of the city. There were also people throwing snow in this direction, and the soldiers were restrained and patient just like those on the southeast side.

But the level of violence escalated over time. Meng Xing noticed that someone began to damage the outermost power grid. A gap appeared in the power grid soon. The soldiers found it in time. They tried to repel the crowd, but people still poured in through the gap. .

They rushed to the second power grid, the defense line was drawn closer, the situation became more and more tense, and the soldiers still did not shoot.

Among the confronting crowd, Meng Xing suddenly saw an acquaintance.It's not too familiar, it's just a face-to-face meeting.

Feng Ye was still wearing the black windbreaker, but no hood.Meng Xing was a little surprised that he appeared here, but he didn't seem very surprised.Feng Ye, an outsider without ID, doesn't even have a chance to draw tickets, not to mention tickets, so he is not eligible to enter the city.

He stood among the crowd of protesters, but he stayed out of the crowd.Because he was not as excited as the others, who were crowded into the power grid through the gap, and he just followed at the end in a leisurely manner.With a calm expression, he observed everything in this dream calmly and rationally.

He said he was looking for an answer, what kind of answer, did he find it?

Meng Xing wanted to ask Feng Ye again, but he just stood on the tower and watched from afar, without saying hello, and he didn't go down to meet him.

Because he had a premonition that before the end really came, they would meet again.

After another two hours of deployment, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon when they reached the last of the four auxiliary towers, the auxiliary tower in the northwest.

It's not even afternoon. Under the doomsday, the day is very short. At four o'clock in the afternoon, the sky is completely dark.

At night, his vision was not as clear as during the day. Meng Xing could no longer see the situation outside the city clearly, but he could see the figures who gathered together and refused to disperse.

Dense, overlapping shadows.

The end is very cold, the night is colder than the day, but people refuse to retreat, because all this cold is not as cold as the despair of impending death.

But they were somewhat affected by the low temperature, and they were no longer as aggressive as they were during the day. The situation seemed to be a little better, and both sides remained calm for the time being, living in peace.

Until seven o'clock in the evening, when the last auxiliary tower was deployed, there was no disturbance outside the city.

There is only the last central tower left, and there are still five hours left. It is not so rushed anymore, and Wen Rulan finally has the time to talk to Meng Xing.

He left the team of researchers and came to Meng Xing's side. Before he could say anything, he heard a loud "bang" from outside the window.

It was gunshots.
