Abandoned Lover [Future]

After that, Eugene also thought about why Xiao chose to appear in the White Tower in that way.The final conclusion was that Xiao might want to block his other escape routes.

Xiao seems to know clearly that if there are other options, he is definitely not willing to sacrifice Xiao's freedom.Therefore, the biochemical man simply took away his right to choose, and would not let him fall into the choice between personal affection and righteousness.

... Such a cruel and gentle approach made him hate it from the bottom of his heart, but he was also helpless.

The pioneers have already "controlled" Xiao within the White Tower, trying to rate him and testing his abilities.Eugene felt that such an arrangement was quite ridiculous, but still forced by the procedure, he could only keep Xiao in the other party's hands.

The feeling of being deprived before came back again, and Eugene raised his hand and pressed his temple.He still has unfulfilled responsibilities, and he cannot strip his identity now.After returning to the Guardhouse with the guards, Joshua told him that someone was waiting for him at the entrance.

Eugene really didn't want to see any more visitors, but was startled when he learned the visitor's name.Ten minutes later, a tall and graceful woman walked into his war room, and Eugene looked at her: "...Anika."

He never thought that this person would appear here at this time.

"Why are you...the Rift?"

Anika was wearing casual clothes, and sat down in front of him calmly: "Xiao and Basil borrowed a boat to go to Green Star, and I came with it."

Eugene frowned.He didn't doubt that Xiao could come to Green Star from Sagrand without hindrance, but he really didn't know the inside story.Anika seemed to see his doubts, and briefly introduced what happened.

After Eugene left, there were no local ships on the barn planet enough to complete the voyage to the green star.However, Xiao somehow contacted Miles, and asked the latter to directly send a ship to the border and take him to the Rift.There, Xiao negotiated with Basil, and actually let Basil relax and lent him a light ship capable of continuous jumps.Hearing this, Eugene was unconsciously surprised.It was hard for him to imagine how Xiao would take the initiative to contact people—his cyborg always stood by his side like a shadow, and would never contact other humans around him unless necessary.It's just that willingness is not equal to ability. In places he can't see, Xiao may show behaviors and expressions he has never seen before.

Taking a slow breath, Eugene focused on Anika.At such a sensitive time, Anika voluntarily chose to come to Green Star, is it because Xiao told her that this matter was related to Igor?However, thinking about it carefully, such a possibility does not exist at all, because Xiao didn't know that the "Anika" in Igor's mouth was Fasha on the Rift.

Perhaps it was because Eugene's expression was too easy to understand. Anika changed the position of her crossed legs and smiled at him: "Basil asked me to come. He said that if I don't come, you will die. Others A lot of people will die too."

Eugene was startled.Such a speech was sudden, but it was Basil's usual style.But saying this probably meant that Anika's arrival would rewrite his fate.

He lowered his head and said thank you.When he raised his head again, he asked Anika: "What about Xiao?"

Anika's eyes were calm: "Basil's premonition only works on humans."

Eugene nodded, and after a moment of silence, he continued to smile: "That's right. I'll have to trouble you to return Basil's boat later."

Anika maintained the same smile as before, but did not answer.

——She didn't tell Eugene, and Basil also said that if she came, she would be the one who died.

……

9 month 28 day.

On the top floor of the White Tower, Eugene stood in front of Xiao, negotiating with Ziev and Sisong on his behalf.

"Such a plan is impossible to carry out." Tiev narrowed his eyes threateningly: "The center cannot be exposed to Sagrand's attack range."

"It's just a tactical arrangement, General." Eugene tried his best to remain polite, hiding his clenched fists behind his back: "Compared with hundreds of millions of casualties, taking a little risk seems to be a more reasonable choice. "

"Whether it is reasonable or not is never a personal judgment, Arning." Diev snorted coldly: "Even if the probability is so small, if the consequences cannot be borne by anyone, this choice should not exist in the scope of candidates .”

Eugene smiled angrily: "You are right, but the wars that the Center can't bear" are happening everywhere outside our defense range. Why is this? Is it because the lives of the residents of the Center are more precious? Or are you Worried about nobles and politicians threatening your current status?"

"Pay attention to your words!" Jiev's eyes widened suddenly: "My position is always in the interests of the majority of the alliance! Our current defense area has covered more than 80.00% of the population of the alliance, but you Tell me, why is there any reason to expose more than half of the population of the center to danger?"

"Because what you sacrificed was not numbers, but the people waiting for you to save!!" Eugene suddenly raised his voice: "If you give up these people once, everyone will know in the future that they may all be important to the alliance. The price of being abandoned!!"

Tiev raised his eyebrows: "There won't be another war like this, you..."

"The dead will never come back to life again, General Tiev!!" Eugene's eyes widened with anger, his chest heaving violently: "I pushed through the defense line outside the center!! The lives of the people in the defense area were guarded by me. Yes!! From the very beginning, the population you have to sacrifice is not 15.00%, but the entire 40.00% outside the center!!"

Tiev stared at Eugene, his lips were tightly closed, the outline of the jaw bulged out a line of ups and downs, and two veins burst out on the forehead.

In the great anger, Eugene felt a sudden lump in his throat.His efforts to calm down were not going well, and he ended up repeating his position hoarsely.

"...This battle is only for Xiao to temporarily release part of the 'net' defenses. The blood lions will not make the same mistake as last time. Gather up and let us defeat it. This is the only way to attract them to shrink forward." Eugene sniffed, and didn't look at Tiev's face again: "Use the center as a bait, and after the blood lion enters the attack range of the 'net', Xiao will be responsible for shooting it down in one fell swoop—I don't I don’t think there’s anything fundamentally wrong with such a plan.”

Tiev also looked away, and his expression returned to sarcasm: "Yeah, it's really appropriate for you to put all your hopes on an unknown inheritance."

"But you also know better than anyone else that you can't use the limitations of human beings to think about heritage..."

Seeing that the debate in front of him gradually reached a stalemate, Xiao, who was standing behind Eugene, opened his mouth.

"The general." Xiao smiled in Kiev's direction, the smile was perfect and polite, without any real meaning: "He is indeed asking for your permission."

Tiev turned his gaze to Xiao, and his expression became more and more disgusted: "Since you have this self-awareness..."

"...But your consent is not necessary." Xiao's expression remained unchanged, and he raised his hand in a certain direction where there was nothing.

All the guards raised their guns at the same time, and Eugene took a step back to block Xiao, letting all the red lines fall to his chest.Xiao's expression finally gained some warmth, and he continued to maintain his posture unmoved.

In the next second, a scene that no one could have imagined appeared before everyone's eyes.

——As if shrouded in the four walls of clouds and mist, golden geometric lines like streamers began to emerge.Such lines extend from the ground to the end of the dome at a very high place, some are parallel, some are interlaced, with different thicknesses, just like the paths printed on the circuit board.Such a path gradually spread to the left and right from the direction pointed by Xiao's fingertips, as if some kind of living creature quickly crawled across the four walls, and finally joined each other behind Xiao.After a moment of almost blinding glare, all the colors and scenery in this space—the white that almost covered the entire field of vision, and the golden lines embedded on it—had disappeared into nothingness.

This void is so pure, like the center of a black hole, all light cannot escape, and all sound cannot pass through.Everyone present lost their sense of their own "existence" in an instant, causing some guards to subconsciously pull the trigger.However, the red light indicating the front sight was nowhere to be seen, and the sound of firing did not sound as expected.In the indescribable chaos, someone knelt down on the ground and began to vomit.

Fortunately, such a sound could still be heard. Under the absolute darkness, Jiev shouted in a deep voice, which finally stopped everyone from running in embarrassment.In such a scene, Eugene felt that his breathing was subconsciously too fast, but a pair of familiar hands wrapped around his waist from behind and kissed the back of his neck.

After that, increasingly unbelievable scenes appeared.From a very far point in everyone's field of vision, there were rapidly moving spots of light scattered in all directions.No one still remembers that they are in the White Tower. In the space that has lost the sense of boundaries, they seem to be mayflies floating in the void, helplessly watching the light spots scattered at different speeds and densities.As the light spots passed by their side, some people were surprised to find that these tiny light spots were actually all kinds of stars scattered in the universe.

At this moment, they are like travelers in deep space, able to witness all the magnificent sights of the stars, but at the same time they are in an uncontrollable fear.Some people raised their heads and looked around, sighing uncontrollably, while others began to break down and cry.

Such scattered images end in a sudden, seemingly static frame.What was presented before their eyes was a peaceful and beautiful planet.

That's the green star.

The green star was under their feet, spinning slowly at a speed they couldn't judge.

"It's a sight that 'nets' can observe."

Among the messy breathing, crying and sighing, Xiao's voice made everyone fall into silence again.With the dim light in the scene in front of them, they were able to vaguely see the heritage among them, and the human beings embraced by the heritage.

Seemingly not feeling that there was anything wrong with this posture, Xiao raised his hand and pointed somewhere in the void a few times.Golden light spots appeared on the part touched by his fingertips, as if he had touched some kind of medium.

The green star in front of everyone was pulled away again, and the direction of view was changed, aiming at a void that was no different from other places.

"...This is the 'net' you speak of."

As his voice fell, a golden network structure composed of countless triangles appeared instantly, densely packed, covering everyone's vision.

"Finally, this is what it looks like after being released from the net."

The seemingly borderless gold/grid quickly fades into the background like ice dissolving in water. With a "click", Jiev raised his hand, loaded the purely mechanical pistol/gun, and pointed it at Xiao's head.

"You can destroy my body, General." Xiao looked at him with white-gold eyes glowing with inorganic matter. "Then you find out that no human being can restore the 'net'."

Where no one was looking, Tiev's hands trembled slightly.

"...So I hope that you can trust me and let me do this for you."

The golden grid was rebuilt from the field of vision, and Xiao slowly lowered his hand.The boundless darkness subsided completely in the next instant, and everyone seemed to wake up from the hallucination, and returned to the white room above the White Tower.Only the faint remaining golden lines among the white clouds reminded them that what happened before was not a dream.

"I don't hold any malice towards you." Xiao said calmly. "You should already be well aware of that, General."

This sentence looks like a gesture of goodwill, but Tiev translated it into the most essential threat

——I have the ability to destroy you easily.I don't use it.So be grateful.

Diev put down his gun.

……

When he walked out of the White Tower again, Jiev raised his head and looked at the blue sky above him, feeling as if he had passed away.

He frowned, and said to Si Song beside him in a deep voice, "...that thing can't be left behind."

"The question is how to do it." Si Song put away his kind face rarely, and looked back at him.

Diev's eyes changed.

"...start with the only thing he cares about."

The author has something to say:

The next chapter is the final battle.I can't believe it myself...
