Thrive in Catastrophe

"Your request is granted."

At the same time, among the torture troops, Major General Hiti stared at the holographic screen and chuckled.

"This day has indeed come."

In the corridor of the torture unit, a middle-aged man in a gray windbreaker strolled along the passage, behind him were a dozen or so tide killers in combat uniforms.There was a gentle smile on the man's lips, and a whole group of armed soldiers in front of him was pointing at him with condensation guns.

The man turned his face slightly, and the killers behind him rushed forward. They didn't take their own lives seriously at all. When the killer who was rushing forward was hit by the condensation gun, the killer behind him took advantage of the armed soldiers to detain him for the second time. Trigger and kill them all.

A soldier lying in a pool of blood looked at the man standing in front of him like a god, the smile on his lips was harmless, but it was heartfelt frightening.

"Who... are you...?"

"Valentine Sheen."

Valentine raised his legs, stepped over layers of corpses, and came to a certain cell.

The woman in the cell raised her head and stared at each other in amazement.

"Honey, don't show such an expression. You used to be my most beloved daughter, Claire. Of course, it is still the same now. As long as you tell me where Jane has gone, I will take you out of here."

Fear crept into Claire's eyes, but eventually she shook her head.

"Actually, like you, I never knew what Jane was really thinking." A smile appeared on Claire's lips, even though her shoulders were trembling.

"Hey... my children have grown up, and they always want to leave home to pursue unfettered freedom. But the outside world is not as exciting as you imagined." Valentine's fingers brushed Claire's cheek, very satisfied cherish.

"You can enter my brain to interpret my memory..." Claire tried to lean back, but Valentine firmly controlled her head.

"Actually, if I could get Xiao Yan, my plan would be perfect, but now Xiao Yan affects the armed forces of the entire Shire, but you are different. Although this child Jane is always bohemian and doesn't care about everything, but He takes feelings too seriously. As long as anyone has expectations of him, he will take other people's expectations as his own responsibility. So he lives a very tired life and will never get real freedom. And you , is one of his responsibilities." Valentine suddenly drew the sharp blade of the killer beside him, and cut off Claire's legs locked by titanium.

"Ah—" Claire screamed, blood flowed out, rendering a bright red on the ground.

Valentine nodded on the tip of her nose with little interest, "This is your punishment. I know you have been following Jane. It's time to visit the famous Major General Hiti."

Valentine hummed Baja and came to Major General Hitty's office.The music was still there, and the aroma of coffee spread everywhere. Major General Hiti, who was sitting at the desk, looked at the uninvited guests with his head half propped up.

"Welcome to the torture unit."

"You are the first person in Shire to say welcome to me, so I decided to treat you as a friend, Major General Hitty." Valentine sat sideways on Hitty's desk, leaned over as if to See clearly the person in front of you.

"So you will invite me to join Tide?" Hiti's smile was calm without a trace of fear.

"I admire your ability, but Your Majesty's ability is too outstanding, so I have to..."

After finishing speaking, Valentine slammed into Hitty's neck. At that moment, Hitty's figure made a "sizzling" sound. Valentine was slightly taken aback, and then realized that Hitty in front of him was not a real entity, but It's a hologram.

He suddenly destroyed the image, and only then did he realize that Major General Hiti had retreated into the escape route and left the torture team.

"It's so rare that I was deceived by you. But forget it, I have achieved my goal." Valentine raised his wrist and said to the communicator on his wrist with an expectant expression, "Dear Xiao Yan , The last confrontation made me sincerely admire your brain. This is the most sincere and final invitation letter I send to you."

Valentine's image appeared on Xiao Yan's communicator, and this guy actually invaded the frequency of Shire's communicator!

Trapped in the research room, Xiao Yan's lips curled up, and he smiled helplessly: "Maybe you are God, but it's a pity that I can't be an angel by your side."

This answer seemed to be expected by Valentine, "You refused too soon, son. I will still keep your answer, don't die here."

"Don't die here? What does this guy mean?" Lauren raised his eyebrows.

At that moment, there was a deafening explosion, and the entire laboratory shook violently, and everyone subconsciously covered their ears.

Sirens sounded endlessly.

"Valentin, that bastard, doesn't he want to blow up the Central Academy of Sciences!" Reitz yelled.

"If so we must leave immediately!"

Xiao Yan looked at Hein, at this moment they couldn't know exactly what happened.At this moment, Wen En initiated a contact request to Heine.

"Boss! You have to get everyone out! Valentine Sheehan dropped particle bombs on the Central Academy of Sciences, the Special Task Force, and the Presidential Palace!"

"what--"

The news shocked everyone.

Particle bombs are no different in size from sand and gravel. They can quickly attach to the metal surface, react with the metal, release high heat in an instant, and trigger a destructive explosion.Particle bombs are known as the nemesis of high-density titanium.But so far, the stability of particle bombs is still a difficult problem for the Central Academy of Sciences, but today, it seems that Valentine Sheen has produced the finished product of particle bombs.

"If it's a particle bomb, it won't last long here, we have to leave!" Loch's half-awake expression was replaced by seriousness.

"Let's go." Hein looked at Xiao Yan.

"It's hard to get in... Are you going out again?"

The research directors chattered.

Everyone looked out of the door in fear, and the mutated zombie's face was pressed against the glass, trying to smash the sliding door and rush in.Bloodshot eyeballs, their teeth scratched the glass from time to time, leaving disgusting marks.

"Oh... God..." Reitz pressed his head, "I'm not sure I can go through it again..."

Without further ado, Xiao Yan opened the sample storage container, took out the medicine, put it neatly into the injection gun, and calmly looked at all the colleagues in front of him.

"Everyone, this is Sharon-3. Judging from the data, I have successfully extended the effectiveness of the virus from long-term to permanent. But the virus is ever-changing, and I cannot be sure that after it enters everyone's body, the effect will be as expected. "

Back in his research room, Xiao Yan's most important goal was to obtain the sample medicine of Sharon-3.

As soon as he finished speaking, Reitz took the injection gun from him without hesitation, "The most serious consequence is just to hang up."

Originally, Xiao Yan was worried that everyone would hesitate, but at this moment their most urgent thing is time.Reitz suppressed everyone's suspicions, and when Xiao Yan looked at him gratefully, he just shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

The moment the sliding door opened, everyone held their breath, and the zombie rushed in. Several researchers closed their eyes tightly, and they opened their eyes slowly until the zombie passed by them without stopping.The group of walking dead swayed numbly, as if they were looking for something, one of the zombies came to Lauren, it stared at Lauren, the breath almost sprayed on his face, Lauren raised nervously shoulder, looking in Xiao Yan's direction begging for help.

Xiao Yan also became worried, for fear that Sharon-3 would be ineffective against Lauren.

But this worry was unnecessary, when another explosion sounded overhead, the zombies left Lauren.

"What are you doing there in a daze! Move fast!" Reitz shouted.

Hai Yin rushed to the front, and together with the rest of the special forces, cut through the zombies and cleared the road, Xiao Yan followed closely behind.

This feeling of being completely ignored by the zombies made them novel, but the constant explosions above their heads also made their sense of urgency tear apart.

With the sound of an explosion that was very close, the buzzing made many of them lose their sense of balance. A whole piece of titanium metal lost its support and fell down. Xiao Yan quickly pulled Reitz towards him, and the metal wall caused a shock when it fell to the ground, and a series of explosions The sound came, and all the metal walls above the head were crumbling.

"Don't stop!" Heine's deep voice was extremely penetrating.

At that moment, a large piece of titanium metal penetrated the top of the tunnel and fell down, at a speed so fast that it was impossible to react.Xiao Yan couldn't dodge in time, so he could only press Reitz down with one hand, and raise the other hand to try to support the metal plate.But the weight of the high-density titanium gold is enough to completely crush him. Just as Xiao Yan closed his eyes and waited for the pain to come, there was a "squeak" sound above his head. Xiao Yan's palm was only contused by the force of the falling metal plate. Turning his head, he saw Heine kneeling on one knee not far from him, supporting the metal plate with both hands.

"Move quickly!" Heine's muscles were tense to the point of trembling. In order to support the metal plate, he was also injured.

Xiao Yan stopped talking, and motioned Reitz to follow him to climb out.

They continued to move forward, the passage behind them had completely collapsed, and there was no way back for them.

Reitz almost fell, but Loch behind him supported him.

"Can't you run fast for your life! It's time for you to exercise!"

Rarely did Reitz not argue with him, he just kept his center of gravity and continued to move forward.

The passage was sloping downwards. If they could not reach the exit in time, they would slide to the bottom floor along with this passage and be buried by the collapsed building.

The aircraft driven by Liv and Mark had reached the exit of the passage, and the hatch opened. Wen En leaned out with half of his body, and stretched out his arms to pull them out one by one.

Heine was the first to reach the exit, but he carried Xiao Yan behind him on his shoulders, and Wen En picked up Xiao Yan and threw him into the cabin.

"The order from the military department is to take Xiao Yan away! Whoever wants to survive, hurry up!"

Loch supported Reitz and pushed him up. Compared with Reitz who was frantically trying to pull Loch up, Xiao Yan was much calmer.

He clasped Loch's hand, and said to Reitz coldly, "Let go!"

The moment Reitz didn't understand what it meant, Xiao Yan had already dragged Luo He up.When Loch fell forward, he fell right on Reitz's body. Reitz's head hit the seat and he almost passed out.Xiao Yan and Hai Yin cooperated with each other tacitly and dragged everyone else up.

The passage was getting closer and closer to a right angle. When Heine dragged the last major, Lauren behind him couldn't hold any support and fell down.

"Lauren—" Xiao Yan stretched out his hand, and the moment he almost jumped out of the cabin door, Heine grabbed the cabin door with one hand and pushed Xiao Yan back hard.

Lauren, on the other hand, opened her eyes wide and fell down along with the broken passage.At that moment, despair exploded the eyeballs.

In an instant, a figure quickly hung the sliding rope on the door and jumped out. When Lauren closed his eyes and waited for death to come, the figure gritted his teeth and grabbed Lauren's arm severely.The force at that moment was enough to dislocate the wrist, and with Lauren's screams, the tunnel fell completely, and the aircraft took off, and Lauren was dragged in mid-air by the other party.

"Ah—" The huge pain made Lauren completely forget the fear of death, and the pain went straight to the brain along the nerves.

Xiao Yan, who was blocked by Heine at the door of the cabin, finally let out a breath, "Fortunately... Wen En..."

With a cold snort, Wen En looked down at Lauren and said, "You're not dead yet! What are you calling for?"

When Wen En brought Lauren back to the cabin, Heine withdrew the arm that stopped Xiao Yan.Looking at Hai Yin's stern face, Xiao Yan swallowed hard. It had been a long time since he felt the oppressive feeling that Hai Yin nearly crushed his bones.This man would rather be hated by him than allow him to do anything dangerous.

Riding on the aircraft, constantly dodging to avoid the falling dome, everyone stared at everything outside the window with dumbfounded.

Residents are fleeing helplessly, and the speed of high-density titanium falling is comparable to that of a comet hitting the ground.The once most prosperous commercial street was covered by the smoke from the explosion of titanium metal, and even the holographic screen was completely destroyed.The iconic luxury residential building in the Shire is crumbling, and Xiao Yan doesn't even need to use a terminal to estimate that this usually brilliant building known as the "Underground Babel Tower" will disappear in less than 3 minutes.The elegant and decent upper class people fled in embarrassment.The central square was extremely chaotic, gathering people with nowhere to escape.All the armed forces were dispatched, but the emergency refuge area simply couldn't accommodate all the people.Quite a few people clamored that the Shire would collapse and they were going to the ground.But in fact, the military does not have enough aircraft to take everyone out. Even if they are taken out, these people will have a delicious meal in the face of zombies.

Looking at the presidential palace in the distance, one could hear bursts of explosions. The federal flag symbolizing "Hope and Freedom" was submerged under the ruins. The people were panicked and shouted: "The president is dead—the president is dead—— "

Even the armed forces performing the mission subconsciously turned their heads to look in the direction of the presidential palace.

Amidst the dust, several aircraft drove out, and Xiao Yan recognized that they were Ling Xiao's troops.Xiao Yan exhaled, Ling Xiao couldn't take off without bringing the president and general out.Titanium fell, and Ling Xiao drove the aircraft through a constantly changing trajectory, every moment was frightening.

The sky that has been supported for more than 200 years is still trembling. At that moment, the fake azure blue sky and the unpredictable flowing clouds were replaced by icy high-density titanium metal, revealing the truest colors like a lie that has been exposed.

People raised their heads in fear, waiting for the moment of complete destruction.

"If...all the 36 supporting points of the dome are broken... Shire will completely sink into the ground..." Reitz's voice trembled.

Shire is known as a miracle in the history of human architecture. 200 years ago, countless architects questioned the feasibility of building a huge underground city, until a breakthrough was made in the research of high-density titanium, a metal with incredible load-bearing capacity, difficult to be corroded, and extremely stable.It became the main building material for building the Shire.With the rapid development of science and technology, ultra-density titanium gold came out and was used to strengthen the 36 supporting points of the Shire dome.Since that day, architects have confidently said that unless the Earth explodes, the Shire will exist forever.

But today, that confidence was destroyed by Valentine Sheehan.

The aircraft on which the president was flying was hovering over the square, because there were too many people taking refuge and there was no place for the aircraft to land.

The so-called Central Square Monument is the strongest of the 36 supporting points that support the Shire, but no one is sure whether the Monument was also planted with particle bombs.

At this time, Heine's communicator received a message from the president.

"Colonel Burton, the situation is urgent and I don't have any time for nonsense. I order you as the president of the Shire Federation, immediately take the researchers on your aircraft to leave Shire, and go to meet Colonel Shen Bing! I will order all special missions Troop members will escort you out at all costs!"

This order means that Shire is about to be destroyed, and the president regards all researchers on this aircraft as the last hope.

There was an uproar in the entire cabin.

"What about you, Your Excellency the President." Heine's voice was smooth without any ups and downs, as if he had already expected all this.

"I am the president of the Shire Federation. Without the Shire, there would be no me. I will be with my people. And, sorry, your father is by my side, and he has decided to stay here." The president smiled slightly , requesting to talk to Xiao Yan.

Liv and Mark piloted the aircraft to avoid the falling titanium and headed for the only flight exits from the Shire that were still functioning.

"Xiao Yan... I wish you a safe journey."

I thought the president would say what he hoped Xiao Yan could do, but today, every word he said was so condensed that it was completely different from the rumors.

"Your Excellency! I am applying to you to recruit Major Ling Xiao's troops to the military chemical factory! There is nearly a ton of condensing agent there! Spraying the condensing agent on the support points can reduce the activity of particle bombs with the help of low temperature!"

"Thank you for your suggestion! But you still have to withdraw from Shire immediately!"

Contact lost.

Xiao Yan wanted to say something more, but Hai Yin pressed his shoulder.

"He's the president, and he's not going to give up on any one way to save the people."

Xiao Yan's aircraft left Shire just like that.

The president glanced at General Sharif, "Did you understand what Xiao Yan said just now?"

"Understood." Admiral Sharif issued an order to the armed forces.

At this time, Maya was pulling Major General Gordon and trying to take him out of the passage that was about to collapse completely. Major General Gordon persistently stretched his arms into the metal ruins, trying to grab something. He desperately shouted Ewell's name.

"Your Excellency! You must leave immediately!"

"No—Ewell is still inside!" Major General Gordon didn't give up at all.

"Major General—" Maya raised her hand to knock him unconscious.

"If you do that, even if I survive, I will blow my head off with a gun." Major General Gordon's back was calm and tough, it was an unshakable determination.

"Your Excellency!" Maya's eyes were red. When they tried to leave just now, the passage collapsed, and Lieutenant General Aiweier was blocked on the other side.But they simply don't have time to clear the rubble to bring Lieutenant General Ewell out now, let alone they can't even be sure that Lieutenant General Ewell is still alive.

"Didn't you hear Admiral Sharif's order? All armed forces must deliver coolant to lower the temperature of particle bombs. Don't you understand the order?"

"Your Excellency, you are also a member of the armed forces!"

"My arm is stuck." Major General Gordon replied coldly, but Maya knew his hand was fine.

"Your Excellency, what you are doing now is dereliction of duty!"

The sound of explosions continued to resound, and even though their location was the strongest part of the entire building, the way out would soon be blocked by collapsed ruins.

"Listen, Maya, I'm not irreplaceable. So do something more meaningful. There are always things in our lives that must be done. Like I absolutely can't keep Evel at this moment, and neither can you. You must not die here meaninglessly. Major, get out of here and help other troops deliver the condensate, this is my order to you."

Maya clenched his fists, and finally he raised his hand very vigorously to salute Major General Gordon, and left quickly with his subordinates.

Everything became quiet, except for the sound of explosions and collapses.

"Ewell, are you there? I know you're still there." Major General Gordon spread his fingers, trying to grab something.

Until the road behind him was blocked and all the light disappeared, I finally heard Ewell's voice.

"...why...don't you go..."

Aiweier's voice was weak and powerless, Major General Gordon lowered his head and could see the red blood seeping from the metal gap.
