Abyssal Kingdom

The chaos in the wealthy district is more refined and restrained.

No one was making too much noise, it was just that they stopped chatting or eating, people started getting calls, people looked down to check messages on their phones, and people turned pale.

Wei An saw that everyone lowered their voices one by one, chatting uneasily, or watching the news on their mobile phones.

He also started looking down at his phone like some of the guests.

Yinwan is the largest ground military station in Taoyuan. Most of the federal troops who came to pacify Yingtian are stationed here. They are planning to hold a large-scale celebration banquet in three days.

Just now, at least a thousand missiles hit the heavily guarded military base at the same time.

In the images captured by aerial cameras, missiles rained down and exploded, turning the ground into a scorching hell and the sky blood red.

The words "Yinwan Station Attacked" were everywhere in the news, full of shock and danger.

The satellite photographed the last moment before the disaster of the station, and the decorations prepared for the banquet can be seen shining brightly.

Only a little chaos can be seen under the aerial camera. They obviously monitored the attack. Some people tried to evacuate, some people knelt on the ground, and some people stared blankly at the sky. No one knew what the last moment would be like.

Anyway, no matter who wants to do anything, it will be too late.

At this time, the light from Yinwan, like a terrifying sea of ​​flames, crossed hundreds of kilometers and reached the wealthy area of ​​Tongyun.

The scene must have been a scene of a huge disaster, but when it came to Tongyun, the sky was only rendered brighter, and the crimson turned into a light pink, which was extraordinarily beautiful.

There were low-pitched and tense discussions among the party crowd, and from time to time a slightly sharp voice sounded, revealing fear.

"Is it true that Silver Bay was attacked?" one guest said.

"Who would attack Yinwan, don't you want to live?!" Another person said.

"There's no reason—"

"But Yinwan's defense system is the top in the country. The federal army has been upgraded since it came over. It is fully equipped with energy shields, orbital protection, and anti-air missiles. How could it be attacked so easily? The news said it was a barbarian. Is it level ground?"

"I didn't even know Taoyuan had so many ground missiles!"

"It looks like it was bombed. How many permanent personnel are there in Yinwan, and how many people are there?"

"A lot, my God, they're preparing a celebration dinner—"

Everyone was shocked.

Everyone chatted quickly, and many names, relationships, and speculations flashed through the conversation. The guests analyzed the defense level of Silver Bay, the recent international political situation, and the struggle of the upper-level families of the Federation, and so on, trying to clarify the situation.

Wei An was also shocked, thinking to himself, what's going on?

Hasn’t Taoyuan always been a model and stable province of the Federation? The pace of life in the country is the slowest. It is neither a strategic location nor produces important materials. There are only three basic seats in the parliament. The political situation is simple and uncomplicated... How could it happen? This kind of thing?

The focus of this incident is not an attack, how many lives were lost, or property damage. This is a major event that really happened at the top.

There are indeed some political struggles in Taoyuan, there are big companies with dirty hands and private soldiers in gray areas, but Wei An knows that such small local forces in remote provinces cannot make such a level of movement.

Yinwan is one of the largest military bases in Taoyuan. Most of the federal troops are stationed here. They are the core regular troops of the central government, but they are by no means helpless lambs under the claws of predators. This kind of attack must have been planned for a long time. The tight layout is not something that can be done by changing some defensive code and inserting a few traitors in the station.

This is a long and bloody upper-level struggle.

Wei An could smell that smell, it was very subtle, like the smell of a gigantic animal rotting from its bones, bloody and dark, making people confused.But if you stay up there for a long time, you will naturally smell that smell, which will bring disputes, ignite gunpowder, fatal but unavoidable.

It's anyone's guess, but to Wayne, it's as obvious as it is on a billboard.

Of course, it was triggered by the officer in Yinwan who came all the way from the main star field to put down the rebellion, De Xinming, the youngest son of one of the largest families in the Federation, the De family.

This person has been the focus of discussion since he arrived in Taoyuan. Although people don't know his personal affairs, they are still very keen to discuss him.

He is the kind of person whose family background is extremely superior, and his name is written in the memorabilia of the federal family with a golden pen after birth.Although the Federation is a civilized society, there are still many old and fixed things. For example, after generations of management, some people’s identities will not fade as long as they exist. It represents money and power, and will attract countless people. gaze.

De Xinming is such a person.

Wei An has heard a lot of gossip from De Xinming these days. Discussing such people is like discussing the power core of the Federation. The workmanship of ancient imperial objects, jewelry made of expensive gemstones, and good wine are a kind of obligation and obligation of this kind of life. pleasure.

When De Xinming first arrived in Taoyuan, Wei An paid attention to it, but the whole process was normal.

He came because last year when he was the co-consul under the family's power, something went wrong with a supervision bill that was implemented-he was almost doing a idle job, and the bill was signed as if it was no big deal-he was degraded.

He came to Taoyuan just to make a transition, to accumulate some military merits, and he went back soon.

The children of the rich and powerful often do this kind of operation, and De Xinming behaves in the same way. Although he is here to suppress the rebellion, the first thing he does when he arrives in Taoyuan is to decorate the banquet hall.

Everyone knows that he was able to finish the task of pacifying Yingtian very quickly, mainly because the deputies were very capable and had good resources.

No matter how you look at it, the whole thing is full of irrelevant flow, but now it has become like this.

The sky was getting darker, and the fire in Yinwan was still burning, dyeing the night with an ominous dark red.

The party is over, and people leave in a hurry, on the phone.Wei An bid farewell to the guests, calmed down his emotions, and agreed that everyone should keep in close contact and follow up the situation at any time.

At present, it seems to be relatively stable, Taoyuan related agencies have responded, the rescue and medical departments have been activated, and the nearby roads are also under martial law.

Both official and non-governmental organizations will organize donation activities, and everyone will go to participate, donate some money, and show sincerity.

No one knows the deeper story, but power struggles are always dangerous and worrisome.People like them need to be responsive and spend enough money to express their deferential and harmless stance.

It was completely dark when Wei An saw off the last guest.

When the crowd dispersed and the surroundings were quiet, the bustle and panic just now seemed like hallucinations, which never really existed.

Wei An wandered around idly, not knowing what to do for a moment.

In the garden, the AI ​​cleaned up the remnants of the party in an orderly manner. These things ran efficiently and quietly, like ghosts gliding by in the night.These days, villas do not need regular housekeeping staff. AI makes life convenient, and many people will live by themselves.

However, there are not many people who really live alone like Wei An, and there are always some servants or bed partners in the houses of ordinary people, but he has nothing.

His local friends sometimes ask a question, but there is nothing to say. We are good friends at the party and don't care too much about the specific details of other people's lives.

Wei An stood in the night for a while. The houses in the wealthy area were far apart, with open spaces and a good ecological environment. For a while, only the sound of wind and insects could be heard.

He just stared blankly for a while, then turned around, walked through the dark corridor, and returned to the room.

He turned on the TV in the living room. In fact, this kind of electrical appliance has always been marginal, and now it is almost completely eliminated.This thing was originally just an extension of the computer terminal. Due to the technical limitations of the ancient Taoyuan Kingdom, the ghost technology was developed. Later, it was used to broadcast repeatedly on a fixed channel in some places like prisons, mining areas or orphanages. .

But for Wei An, the frequency of use is quite high.

After this thing is opened, there will be something on any station, and there is no need to choose. It looks like everyone is busy with a plan.

The screen lit up, and the host of a financial program had a serious expression, discussing whether the Yinwan incident involved some higher-level conspiracy, with a heartbroken expression on his face, lamenting that people's hearts are not old.

Wei An changed the channel, and an entertainment channel was recommending a few movies, saying that he needed to watch some movies about wars and disasters at this time, which reflected the theme of finding out the truth and calming down life in a difficult situation.

He changed it again, and it was still a similar topic.

In the end, Wei An found a small channel with no one in charge among a bunch of channels discussing the number of deaths, missile models, political forecasts, conspiracy theories, and denouncing the decline of the world. He saw an urban romantic drama No. 80 eight episodes.

He stopped to watch, the lives of the men and women in the film are full of various bed relationships, with passionate expressions, fights, suicides, car accidents and miscarriages, and their lives are very fulfilling.

There are also many advertisements in the program, ranging from kitchen paint, pirated toilets to the opening of viewing villas, some of which are still on sale, and some product information has expired.

What Wei An found was a very remote and unattended small station, not even a living person, the programs were just randomly grabbed by artificial intelligence, and the information was no longer updated in time, but just randomly placed.

Wei An sat on the sofa and watched for five hours.

When he was watching TV, he didn't do any extra movements, he just sat there quietly, and the AI ​​with built-in health maintenance programs came over occasionally and handed him juice, which he drank seriously.

In the early hours of the morning, an advertisement was broadcast on TV.

The picture first shows the building from above, which is majestic, calm and has a sense of history, and then cuts to the main entrance of the building, where the sign of Taoyuan Provincial Museum stands.

A deep male voice said that the museum's annual exhibition of ancient civilizations is about to begin.

As we all know, before human beings have historical records, there was a civilization in the universe. The farthest star field we have traveled has the ruins of this ancient country.

No one knows how this civilization died. They only know that even the remains of it are so large that human beings' current technology can't explore the edge at all.

During the long period of great darkness, the small divided countries regarded it as a god-like existence and performed bloody worship and sacrifices. Even in modern times, the legacy of the era of blind faith is still visible from time to time.

The annual exhibition of the Provincial Museum is a rare feast of ancient civilizations. You can see the prototypes of those strange things that are usually only seen in history books, movies or games, and learn more about the gloomy nature of this land. history.

Everyone passing by must not miss it.

Following the voice, posters lit up on the screen.

The silent ruins under the setting sun, the solitary head of an unknown species, the vine-like gun with teeth, a painting of a battlefield with a very strange sky...

Sitting under the bright light, Wei An seemed to be stupefied as he watched the flashing images one after another.

The pictures are increasingly terrifying, to the point that normal human life is unimaginable.

A distorted human body knelt on the ground, making a prayer posture. Its limbs were degenerated, and it was so thin that it was out of shape. It was completely black, as if it had been calcined by the fire of hell.

Its eyes and mouth are three black holes, small and round, screaming and wailing darkness and pain that human language can never comprehend...

Wei An suddenly raised his hand and turned off the TV.

The last voice in the house died away, and the surroundings fell silent.

The wind blew through the trees outside, and the sound was like a long whimper. It felt like being in an empty unknown place, surrounded by a desolate, empty, boundless wilderness.

But no, his house is huge, expensively furnished, surrounded by rugs, couches, books and art, brightly lit...

Wei An just sat there for 10 minutes, then he stood up and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

go to bed.
