Scarlet Dawn [Apocalypse]

The hive is sunk in the ground, completely closed, and the CNC security system is extremely strict, and the accident that can interrupt the alliance dance at this time can explain it—Bai Yi and Silvison quickly glanced at each other, and both of them saw it in each other's eyes. Uneasy—it must be "they" coming.

At the same time, the communicator on the major general's wrist beeped, and when he pressed the switch, Colonel Su Chen's soft and gentle voice sounded, "Hill, come in with your little one, and Admiral Brian issued a first-level alert Instructions, this surprise is really surprising."

Having said this, the two of them stopped hesitating and rushed towards the Crystal Palace at the same time.

Two figures, one tall and one short, stood in the shadow not far away. Nicklus yawned lazily, walked slowly to the fountain, bent down to pick up a card from the scattered cards, and held it between his fingers. Jian Jian, showed the face of the Wheel of Fortune to another person, and said, "I have finally waited for this day, Cong Xi, how do you think we should celebrate tonight?"

Bai Congxi came over and put a fox fur on the young man's shoulders, stretched out his hand to brush the hair from his forehead, and said with a light smile, "I will allow you to drink a little wine, just tonight."

"Oh, forget it, you never count your words!"

Nicholas gave him a very dissatisfied look, and was about to continue, but suddenly covered his mouth and coughed violently.Bai Congxi still had a smile on his face, and patiently patted his bony back.

Dirty blood seeped from between the fingers, leaving glaring marks on the young man's pale skin, and finally dripped down.Seeing more and more blood spots on the ground, Bai Congxi frowned slightly.

After a while, Nicklus felt better, and raised his hand to signal the other party to stop. He panted with difficulty, but said reluctantly: "I asked you to accompany me to watch the aurora at the Antarctic base two months ago. You are still late, I will never...cough...I will never believe what you say again!"

There was blood on the corner of the boy's mouth, and he looked stubborn but weak.Bai Congxi touched his head, his lips curved into a gentle arc, and comforted him: "400 years ago, you asked me to help you study the D virus, and I did it; you asked me to put the virus on the earth and trigger the world Doomsday, I did it too; today, you asked me to accompany you to announce the "God-Revelation" plan to the world, and I still did it—”

Nicholas turned his head stubbornly, not looking at the man's smiling eyes, and his bleeding lips slowly pursed into a line.

Bai Congxi pinched his chin, forced him to look at him, gently stroked the other's lower lip with his thumb, and continued: "Neil, in this world, who else can you trust except me?"

The young man remained silent, and after a long time, he said, "Will you agree to watch the aurora with me next polar night?"

"Yes, I promise I won't be late this time." Bai Congxi said with a half-smile, "But before that, I have to change your body as soon as possible. The time is almost up, and this one won't last long."

Nicholas nodded weakly, leaned into Bai Congxi's arms, closed his eyes, and said softly, "Go back, I'm too tired, I haven't fed the world dinner yet, and I'm going to scratch the pillow again soon. "

"Where do you want to go back?" Bai Congxi asked softly.

"Hmm... How about the Sydney base?" Nicklus yawned sleepily, "It's not too cold in winter, and the idiots from the Alliance just came back from Oceania, so it's safe."

Bai Congxi picked him up horizontally, the young man's frail body was so thin that only a few bones remained, and the weight was very light. He wrapped the fox fur tightly and said with a smile: "Actually, you want to see koalas, right? Neil?"

"I'm just thinking about safety," Nicholas also smiled, "seeing koalas is just in passing."

◆

The Crystal Palace was brightly lit, and thousands of people were present at the same time, but it was so silent. The scene was indescribably weird, like a still silent drama, everyone stopped and raised their heads, looking in the same direction.

There is a holographic screen floating in the center of Nuo Da’s palace. On it is a masked person. The camera only shows a close-up of his face, and it is impossible to distinguish between men and women. The weird mask is drawn as half an angel, half a devil, half smiling and half crying. .

Bai Yi and Silvison hurried up to the second floor when they arrived at the Crystal Palace. Su Chen, who was leaning on the Roman column, saw the two coming and beckoned them to go over, then pointed to the hall.

Looking from the railing, he can be at the same level as the masked man on the big screen. Behind the hollowed-out eyes is a pair of gray eyes with hidden meaning. Every capillary is clearly visible. gods.

Silvison only took one look, then retracted his gaze, and asked, "What's the situation now?"

"The host terminal has been violently invaded, and the permissions have been tampered with. All the holographic screens in the hive are broadcasting this stuff." Su Chen bent his back against the stone pillar, squinted at the screen from the corner of his eyes, and there was a cry on his lips. An unpredictable smile, "It seems that I have missed a lot of interesting things in the past few months..."

"No, actually, the timing of your return is just right," Silverson said, "Everything that happened before was just a sideshow at the tip of the iceberg, and now they are finally willing to stand in front of the world—"

Bai Yi glanced at him suspiciously, and asked in confusion, "It sounds like you're looking forward to it?"

"My teacher once said that anyone who breaks the laws of biology will be punished." Silvesen leaned on the railing, lit a cigarette, and added lightly: "So the punishment of 400 years of dormancy has come."

"Before you speak, you should clarify your position, Major General Silverson."

The voice was as majestic and indifferent as ever, as if it came from an emotionless ghost. Conrad stood still in front of the three of them with a solemn expression on his face. His cold eyes swept slowly, staying on Bai Yi for a moment, and finally looked at Xi Wilson.Even if he attended such an occasion, he was still wearing a combat uniform with a military rank on his shoulders, which was out of place in this extravagant palace.

Sylvison stared at Conrad silently. At that moment, he seemed to lose all his cynical frivolity. Bai Yi had never seen Sylvison show such a serious expression, and the hand at his side was restrained into a fist , trembling slightly, as if holding back something, just when Bai Yi thought he would be unable to resist punching Conrad, that hand relaxed in vain.

"Of course you would say that, Colonel, I'm afraid you've forgotten the teacher's name long ago, and who rescued you from the dirty bottom world—" Silvison slowly raised his lips, and paused every word Said: "You betrayed Teacher Quincy, everything you have now is at the price of the teacher, Conrad Statham, I really look down on you from the bottom of my heart."

Conrad's face was so gloomy that it seemed that a layer of ice had formed, and he said coldly: "He wants to betray Lothar, I have no choice."

"He is correcting the mistakes of humans and blood races!" Silverson retorted.

The atmosphere between the two was quite tense, and the amount of information revealed in the conversation was huge. Bai Yi stood beside him for a while, feeling a little overwhelmed, while Colonel Su Chen on the other side didn't care about watching the show.

Just when everyone thought this debate would continue, the masked man on the holographic screen coughed lightly and said: "Dear residents, officials of the hive, and visitors from Lothar, good evening everyone, please allow me to take the liberty to Host your Creation Dinner."

His voice had been manipulated into a comical tone, but it wasn't hard to tell it was a man.

"Introduce ourselves here first. We call ourselves 'innovators', people who are about to revolutionize the world." The masked man bowed politely, then raised his weird masked face again, and said loudly: " Four hundred and six years ago, we implanted 10 cubic meters of liquid D virus culture medium into the meteorite 'Senna', and forcibly modified its flight trajectory, inducing the famous celestial body impact."

The crowd begins to exclaim and whisper, and the man on the screen pauses, as if generously granting humanity time to panic question.Bai Yi fixed his eyes on the screen, tightened his fingers clasping the railing, his whole body trembled slightly due to the tense muscles.

"Finally, 400 years have passed, and our research has finally come to an end. Now we sincerely extend an invitation to all hive residents—we will provide safe shelter and transformation medicine, and human beings will completely get rid of the restrictions of aging, and their physical functions will be greatly improved, even exceeding Those alien monsters!" The masked man was so emotional that even his voice was trembling, "There is no need to provide blood to the alliance on a regular basis, and there is no need to succumb to the ground and endure the false artificial system..."

"'Innovator' is only to regain the initiative of human beings, and here we use the 'Divine Revelation' plan to announce to the world that we have more powerful biochemical weapons than alien blood races, and we have mastered the method to make human beings immortal , now is the time to liquidate the 'Gene Project'..."

"How many people do you think will be tempted?" Su Chen turned her head and asked with interest.

Conrad stood with his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "The alliance will not allow anyone to leave the hive."

Hearing this, Silverson sneered, and said sarcastically: "In this case, Colonel Statham must be a good gatekeeper for the alliance."

"Do you want to open the door for 'innovators'?" Conrad asked indifferently.

"You two are enough, what is there to argue about at this time?" Bai Yi pressed his forehead irritably, and said, "No one will go, because no one will believe it! Back then the 'innovators' ruined the world, and now they come out again Talking about protection? This is a joke!"

The masked man in the holographic screen is still bewitching and instigating, but the four people here are in a subtle state of relative stillness.

After looking at the other three people in turn, it is understandable that Hill guy didn't do anything, why didn't Conrad kill that kid?Colonel Su Chen was deeply confused, when did these two temper become so good?Every time we meet, there will be quarrels, so it's obvious that you don't even lose the face of Admiral Bryan, okay? !

Bai Yi's attention was all on the screen. The masked man's speech had ended. Facing the shocked audience, he clapped his hands. Dry applause resounded in the Crystal Palace, and then the masked man stood sideways, spread his hands and made a gesture. A gesture of invitation, behind him is a roulette wheel that can be rotated, and a circle of good or bad fate surrounds it.

The wheel of fate!

Bai Yi suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart, and couldn't help recalling the sick and weak boy who interpreted "The Hanged Man and the Wheel of Fortune" in the central square that night, especially the sentence - the forbearance, acceptance, and reflection of the Hanged Man , Accumulating strength is to make the wheel of fortune follow one's will, this is innovation.

So... Could it be? !

The masked man on the screen started the roulette, and the pointer twirled, like the frustrating sound of the finger bones of the god of death.

Bai Yi waited with bated breath, a layer of cold sweat broke out from his palm gripping the railing, but after a while, the metal needle slowed down and finally stopped, pointing the tip at the goddess outside the roulette.

"Ah~ it's Lady Luck, what a good omen!" the masked man praised sincerely.

that's all?Bai Yi thought hesitantly, the tip of his tongue touched his dry lips——no, it's absolutely impossible to end like this!

Sure enough, the masked man shrugged regretfully, "Unfortunately, this is not a scheduled program, so—" Press the fingertips on the pointer and move it slowly. With a light click, the wheel of fortune changes, and the pointer The tip was redirected toward a man-eating beast.

"Oops!" Bai Yi exclaimed, terrified, and before he had time to think about it, he turned around and pulled out one of the double blades from Conrad's waist, and put one hand on the railing, like a fierce and swift beast, leaping forward. The height of the next two floors.

At the same time, the manic roar of the beast awakened the confused crowd. With the sound of screams, a pool of blood mixed with minced meat splashed all over a male guest. His body gave off a foul stench, and half of his body was being chewed between his jaws full of fangs.

The man took a step back with an unbelievable expression. The beast spat out its bones, bent its hind legs, and lowered its body to the ground. At the moment when the pounce started, a figure sprang out from the side of the man, slashing at the vital point with its arms. go.
