Don't worry, Yokohama is about to end

Mei's words caused an extremely brief silence in the data space.

Zhongyuan Zhong also looked at the girl from bottom to top, and a conjecture that had been answered for a long time was confirmed again at this moment.

Yes, the answer is actually that simple.

When adults like them were hesitant about whether Mei Zhishang accepted the result of "I am not human" too well, and whether it would bury hidden dangers, this little girl was thinking about how to make a good ending.

Whether it is a person or a city, it doesn't matter to her at all.

What made the existence of "Chishang Mei" able to go straight forward was not that superficial thing from the very beginning.

That's why Zhongyuan Zhong felt that those words had no meaning to ask.

"What don't you understand, don't you just say it all?"

The orange kitten sighed, took over the conversation logically, and replaced Mei with a conversation with an artificial intelligence suspected of being a mackerel, "Hey, this is the end of the chat, it took a lot of time to come out, I think you already have a plan Alright."

The kite-eyed youth stared at Zhongya Mao silently for a while, just when everyone thought that he was planning some kind of shocking plan, he suddenly showed an expression of seeing something strange, looked at Mei and said sincerely, " Miss Mei, have you considered changing to a pet?"

Zhongyuan Zhong also had a fierce look in his eyes: "Huh?"

AI Abel ignored the burning sight on his face, and continued to advise earnestly, "Miss, don't be fooled, some cats look harmless to humans and animals because they are short and bald, but they are actually possessive and narrow-minded. O beast."

"Hey! Who are you saying is short mackerel! Send you to hell!"

Mei Zhishang: "..." I don't understand what you are talking about, but I suspect that you are cheating on me.

"Mr. Abel, please don't make friends with Zhongya in a bullying way, it's easy to be scolded."

Mei finished speaking to the young man seriously, and then snapped, covering the mouth of the orange kitten who was cursing, "And Chuya, I said kittens can't swear, come, have another cat biscuit."

AI Abel helped the tree with a livid face, and seemed to have suffered a lot of mental shock: "Make, make friends... Evil &? Y(Y..."

Nakahara Chuya: "Hahaha deserves it... Bah, bah! Stop stuffing the biscuits over!"

In two sentences, a quarrel that was about to break out in elementary school disappeared in an instant.

It's amazing, as expected of "Yokohama".

Xiao Luanbu, who was quietly eating snacks, made a sound of praise.

Seeing that the scene was about to go astray again, a tooth-piercing bending sound sounded above everyone's heads.

The four inhumans were stunned for a moment, and they raised their heads at the same time, looking in the direction of the sound source——

At the top of the huge light tree, a luxuriant branch is rapidly withering at an inconceivable speed.

The leaves that symbolize life have all faded away, leaving only bare branches, which shriveled into ashes in the eyes of everyone and disappeared.

"Uh……"

"again……"

AI looked up at the light tree in random steps, with a hint of dignity in his words.

"This tree...is it dissipating?"

Mei stared at the fluorescent blue light spots around the giant tree, and had a very bad association——

Those dreamlike light spots are not the product of the atmosphere, it is the light tree itself, but for some unknown reason, this giant tree has been unable to sustain the trend of dissipation, and it is on the verge of danger.

"Ah, you're right."

AI Abel took a step forward, and carefully touched the trunk of the lower light tree, his retracted fingertips were covered with light debris, "It seems that our "spirit base" is about to reach its limit. "

"Spirit base?"

Subconsciously sounded in Tomoshang Mei's mind, a certain sentence her father said in the memory axis——

[However, in just half a year, five cracks appeared in the spiritual base of the city...]

"This tree of light, it is the spiritual foundation of this city!" The silver-haired girl came back to her senses.

"bingo!"

Abel clapped his hands and asked like a question answering host, "So, now there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"

Which one should I listen to first?

Everyone's eyes fell on the face of the kite-eyed youth, and his eyes gradually became dangerous.

"Huh? No one wants to choose? Then I have to announce the answer directly!"

Mr. Abel, who was not afraid of being beaten at all, continued with a high tone, "The good news is that the spiritual foundation supporting our city has been broken inside, leaving only a twig struggling to support it. The bad news is-- "

"If you leave it alone, everyone will be able to meet in heaven soon."

"Isn't there no difference at all!" Zhong Yuan Zhong also said loudly with disgust.

"That's not right..." Zhongye Mao's heart moved, and he suddenly realized, "Isn't this kid still standing here well? It doesn't make sense that the city's spirit foundation is endangered to this extent."

Zhishang Mei immediately discovered the doubt, and corrected it seriously: "Zhongye, it's not a kid, it's Mei."

Chuyamao: "Is now the time to talk about this?"

AI Abel automatically skipped the untimely cross talk performance of one person and one cat, and said meaningfully, "Yes, she is still standing here, otherwise, how do you think the spirit foundation has survived until now with just a twig?"

Yuanyan AI's words were like a light hammer, hitting Mei Yi's puzzled point for a while.

The bait, the siege of the AI ​​​​headquarters, the double trap of the Yokohama General Hospital...

The past encounters were replayed frame by frame in front of the silver-haired girl like a slideshow, and a certain answer naturally surfaced.

"So... He has been trying to get rid of me."

Mei suddenly realized, the girl looked down at her hands, as if she had finally re-examined her own role, "Because as long as I am still alive, there is still hope for this city, and it will not die completely."

If this is the case, then the murderous intentions and coincidences all along can make sense.

However, new problems arose again.

——"Then who is He?"

"You should know the answer to this question better than us." Xiao Luanbu, who had been keeping quiet all this time, suddenly said.

The black-haired boy interrupted the rhythm of AI Abel's narration seemingly unintentionally, he opened his habitually squinted eyes, and the emerald pupils fell on Mei's face like a scalpel, "Mei, why have you never Want to go to other cities to take refuge?"

Mei Zhishang was stunned.

The sound of AI's chaotic steps was like a key, inserted into the dusty door lock for a long time, with a click——

The silver-haired girl seemed to hear the sound of the bolt being opened.

The entire data space fell silent in an instant, and in the emptiness, the sound of the AI's chaotic steps seemed to become far away. It was like a white dove flapping its wings, passing through the obstructing fog, and landed on her ear accurately. ——

"You should wake up, Yokohama."

??

Yeah, why did she never think about leaving Yokohama and taking refuge in another city?

After searching and rescuing survivors, sending them to a safer place, isn't this the best solution?

Why has she never thought about it, cherishing her life like a strong man, and Uncle Songbei and the others never mentioned it?

The answer is simple -

Because in this world, there is no safe place anymore.

Yokohama is the only surviving city.

??

At the thought, countless information rushed into Mei's mind like a torrent of rivers——

【I may go to the battlefield and die in the battle...】

[We are the ones who carefully protect these low-level people! 】

[That's because we are the only ones who have found the "City Will". 】

……

The sealed memory was opened a crack, the noise, screams, and roars came together, mixed with the breath of flames and scorched earth, rendering an extremely cruel scene of hell in Mei's mind.

That's right, there is no safe place in this world.

I don't know when it started, in the world, the countries that should have been rushing towards the top technology of the future have appeared "withering" one after another.

In the beginning, they were just birds and insects, but they were so common and common, coupled with the ever-decreasing temperature, no one cared about it except that mysterious eastern country.

Until the longest river in the world ran dry.

Taking this as an opportunity, it was as if the trigger was finally pulled. Water, plants, animals, all the resources on which human beings depended for their survival began to be gradually exhausted. Human beings who were once favored by technology were infected with unknown diseases——

The hair attached to the body surface fell out, the chapped skin disappeared like sand, and the blackness like lochia spread to the body surface.

The plague came and they turned into black monsters.

Disaster breeds crisis, and crisis breeds war.

The flames of war quickly spread from country to country, initially only some small countries, and then more and more countries were involved.

By the time Mei’s generation was born, there was no concept of “country” in the world except for the legendary Xia Country——

Without people, where is the country?

Scorched earth is everywhere, but Yokohama, miraculously, has become the last Garden of Eden.

They have miraculous technology. Every baby born is trained to be a warrior. Water, food... all resources, this city seems to have found a unique solution.

A handful of survivors have trekked here, eager to get a biochip implanted in their wrists.

Because of this, it means that you are a legal citizen of this city.

Those who are struggling call this city "the city of God closest to heaven".

Miracles don't last forever, however.

Soon the city's spirit foundation also had problems, and the symptoms of "withering" began to appear. The panicked people prayed for a "miracle" to come again——

Of course a miracle happened.

Overnight, everyone in the city disappeared.

Instead, there are irrational black monsters that wander in the darkness.

In exchange, the city's withering stopped.

Everything was brutally maintained at a weird balance point.

??

……

——"Hey! Mei! Zhishang Mei, are you okay? Wake up!"

The voice in his ear gradually became clearer, and Mei Zhishang woke up, and found that he was still standing in the data space where the AI ​​was chaotically walking, while his Mr. Cat was frightened and stomped on his face with a cat meat pad. .

Yes, a little bit of happiness...

The silver-haired girl's cheeks blushed uncontrollably.

The next moment, the calling sound in the ear stopped, and the treatment of the cat stepping on the milk was gone.

Mei Zhishang opened her eyes in disappointment, and as expected, she saw the eyes of her Mr. Cat as if looking at a fool, and the meaningful eyes of the two AIs.

The meaning of this look is profound and uncomplicated. When translated into Japanese, it means——

[People can't, at least they shouldn't...]

Yai: "..."

"Cough, okay, long time no see, everyone."

No one speaks.

Most afraid of the air suddenly quiet.

In the end, it was Mr. Nakahara Nakaya, the most reliable person in the village, who finally broke the curse of silence.

Chuyamao cleared his throat in a dignified manner, and asked, "Cough! Brat, Mei, what do you think of?"

Zhishang Mei was silent for a moment, she closed her eyes and said slowly, like sighing, "I saw it—truth."

He is none other than Yokohama.

He wants to kill her.

Because as long as she is alive, there will be changes.

Erasing all human beings is tantamount to erasing the origin of "withering", then the city that is about to collapse can be permanently stagnated and maintained at the most balanced and safe moment.

This is how He guards Yokohama.

"Those black monsters are the resentment of the dead superpowers, and he responded to this resentment."

Mei Zhishang said calmly.

She looked at the people who were staring at her, and the complicated and rushing thoughts in her heart made her not know what expression to make.

AI Abel looked at the silver-haired girl, finally tried to see him, and asked the real sentence——

"So what's your choice?"

??

at the same time

On the battlefield beyond the data space

A black crack appeared above the heads of the AIs.

The blonde AI raised its head, and a slender figure appeared in the sky.

The flying bullets and the day-bright sun screen illuminated the silver hair on his shoulders, and he turned his gaze, revealing a face similar to that of Mei Zhishang.

"A group of ants."

The silver-haired god came from the sky, his cold golden eyes looked down at the AI ​​on the ground, he raised his hand, and more and more black monsters poured out from the dark place.

The crowds were so dense that they almost covered half of the sky.

The silver-haired god looked down at the ground, and calmly pronounced the sentence——

"Ants, your time is over."
