Breakout [Rebirth]

Ogg's hand hangs down, and he puts the phone on the table weakly.

This is destined to be a sleepless night. The infrared warning system that can only be activated during wartime is turning back and forth outside the window. The overly silent Federation can occasionally hear the screaming siren from far away. From the balcony, you can see the sea of ​​flames and the huge mechs on the other side of the city, and patrolling drones fly by from time to time.Auger opened the window and stood on the balcony squinting for a long time.The night was too heavy, so it was not clear what the battle was like.

Achilles left from between his eyebrows, and he couldn't be contacted anyway. He should have been summoned by Ares to go to the battlefield.Although the news anchor said that he would broadcast the battle situation as soon as possible, there was no movement until two o'clock in the morning. Maybe even the broadcasting building had already been attacked.The boring TV shows and games that had been scheduled long ago were playing on the TV, which seemed very out of place on such a night.Ogg stood on the balcony for three or four hours. Alrin's apartment floor was fairly open, and three seas of flames ignited as far as he could see, and then the mecha belonging to Charon led a mecha team We rushed to the sea of ​​flames, and around three o'clock, the sea of ​​flames slowly extinguished, and the Federation once again fell into unsettling darkness.

Erin walked to the balcony and stood beside Ogg, looking at the place where the flames of war had just extinguished like him.His expression couldn't be seen clearly in the dim light, he put his hand by the window and said, "I never understood."

Ogg withdrew his gaze from a distance, landed on Erlin beside him, and asked absent-mindedly, "Huh?"

Erlin lowered his eyes and looked at the garden downstairs: "Clones are created by human beings. They can't have a complete soul that real humans can have, and they can't have spiritual power, and they don't even have emotions. Complete. What they copy is only the body of the original owner, and they can't do anything about things that don't need to be carried by cells. So whether it's the current or the original clones, no matter how they do genetic hybridization, they can no longer have spiritual power Yes, we, why?"

"..."

"I know that he is a very powerful person. No one in the current Federation can surpass his current achievements." Alyn's side face was hidden in the darkness, "but no one can give souls to man-made things, then It's something only the gods of nature can do."

"Man-made things," Ogg said, "I have seen Ares' mech Achilles. At the very beginning, he was just a pile of man-made scrap iron. Through the combination of spiritual power, the master gradually gained his own mind and evolved his own independent existence form. Including the magnetism in the advanced evolution state that I have come into contact with, their magnetic attack has surpassed the scope of a single 'magnetism' , It becomes a bit like another form of spiritual power... so it is always difficult to say clearly about life, maybe it is like in a fairy tale, because of their love for us, they endowed us with souls."

Erlin was silent for a while, and said, "You have changed a lot since you lost your memory."

Ogg moved his lips and did not speak, another place was ignited, and that place was already very close to them, and they could clearly see it.The gazes of the two turned over at the same time, and the firelight reflected in Alyn's eyes, and his face was dimly illuminated, giving him a strange sense of beauty.He went to the refrigerator and got two bottles of cold beer, and gave Ogg a bottle.The two lightly touched the bottle under the light of the flames of war. Ogg drank most of the bottle in one breath, holding the bottle tightly, and said: "I can feel the fluctuation of Ares' mental power. He was still there an hour ago. The bitter battle has gradually stabilized now. The battle situation in Area A should have stabilized."

"The roaches that flooded into area C are the real worry," Alyn drank his beer slowly, "They can shrink themselves, hide in the crowd, mate, and produce more offspring. If they really If they are controlled by their 'leader' and have wisdom. Maybe there are scorpions hiding beside us now, watching us drink."

"Can you feel them?" Ogg asked. "During the military academy, you controlled Karl and the simulated machines in the Achilles Forest. Is this your unique ability?"

"It's us," Alyn said, "we have this ability. But after you lost your memory, I feel that your sensitivity in this area has decreased a lot, sometimes even close to none. It's just that you seem to...wait for a few days wait."

Erlin straightened up suddenly, his eyes fell on the dark corner below the community.Ogg's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately pulled out the miniature laser gun that Robert gave him, and followed Alyn's gaze.

There was a deadly silence downstairs, no one turned on the lights, there was no other light source except infrared light, and nothing could be seen.After a while, Alyn frowned slightly: "Maybe it's my illusion?"

Ogg didn't put down the laser pistol, held it tightly in his hand, drank the remaining beer, and kept his eyes on the area.He didn't have the keen mental power of Alrin, but he had the intuition honed in the battle, and this intuition gave him a bad premonition.

Alrin on the side looked at him and said, "If we really meet..."

Without raising his head, Ogg frowned tightly and said, "Just stay behind me, I'm just a younger brother like you."

"..."

There was no sound over there, but Ogg's mind wasn't on Erin at all, he swore he saw something move underneath—

A creepy woman's scream suddenly came from an apartment on the tenth floor, which lasted for five or six seconds as if she was about to die.Ogg's scalp tightened, and he raised his laser gun without hesitation, aimed at the screaming house, and shattered the glass with one shot.All the infrared rays were sensitively concentrated, and a shrunken black figure was photographed.The figure turned around and looked straight at Ogg on the balcony more than a dozen floors away. His deformed face was twisted into a very disgusting appearance, and he let out a high-decibel cry that was several times more terrifying than that woman.

The alarm screamed instantly, and the scorpion jumped onto the ledge, its red eyes turned in their direction.Ogg's whole body tensed up, unable to tell if it was just a soil bug or a magnet bug, he used his mental power to protect his already fragile brain, and said to Elrin, "Go, it's coming up."

As soon as the words fell, the air violently fluctuated like ocean waves. In response, all the glass in their building turned into powder, and even cracks appeared in the steel walls.There were screams of horror one after another, and the community that was still dead just now fell into great panic and chaos.Ogg opened his eyes wide in surprise, watching the fictitious flames ignite all over his body, and the flames trembled like thorns, and their apartment began to shake, and the cracks in the walls slowly widened...

A rare firecracker? !

When Ogg was not surprised, a white spiritual force rushed out like a flood, and rushed to the fire scorpion below the tenth floor, causing thorns and thorns to appear on the scorpion like a real collision of water and fire. The white mist instantly extinguished the fictitious flame on it, washing it so hard that it could hardly stand still, struggling and screaming in hatred.Ogg reacted immediately. When it was controlled by Alrin's mental power, the laser gun was aimed at the thing's face and swept wildly. It directly used up the last bit of energy, and the purple liquid flowed out from the face, which was painful. tumbling on the ground.Ogg buckled the filling laser gun in his hand, turned around to look for something that could be used as a weapon, but found that the wall between them and the neighbor had been shaken to a big hole at some point, a fat glasses wearing big pants The boy looked at him trembling and terrified.Ogg glanced at the superhero models and collectible knives hanging on the wall of his room at a glance. Without saying a word, he rushed over to snatch a collectible knife, shouted "Run!" and rushed back to the balcony.

Erlin's body couldn't support such an intensity of mental overdraft, and he sat on the ground as if he was fished out of the water, panting heavily.The restrained firefly that had lost its mental power stood up again on the balcony on the tenth floor. Its most powerful weapon was extinguished, and it looked much weaker. It was not even comparable to an ordinary soilfoil, but it still Made a gesture of attack.Ogg pulled out the knife, suddenly felt something was wrong, looked down, and could not help but curse.

He was holding a model knife that didn't even look like it could cut a cabbage.

Ogg was furious, and was about to throw it, when a weak spiritual power rushed into his head, guiding him to inject spiritual power into the model knife.But Aerin's spiritual power had already been exhausted, and this guiding spiritual power quickly dissipated completely.Ogg grasped that feeling and poured almost all his mental power into it. At this moment, he found that the model knife began to emit a faint light, and the invisible blade was moving in the air, not very stable yet.Just as he was about to stabilize his mental strength, he caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye, trembling, and once again ignited the already extremely weak virtual flame on its body. With a kick of its hind legs, it turned into a cloud of dust as the floor on the tenth floor turned into dust. It rushed over like a cannonball.

Ogg held his model knife and stood in front of Erlin and the bespectacled boy who had been frightened out of his wits.
