The howling night wind blew the girl's long golden hair. In the quiet and deserted small square, she stared at the people wearing exoskeleton armor in front of her.

There are some young and old among these people, the youngest looks less than twenty years old, while the face of the oldest is already covered with the lines of time.

Willie calmly stared at the 'comrades' in front of her.

They wore inconsistent clothes and held weapons in inconsistent postures.

However, each of them is a warrior who has emerged from blood and fire, and is the last support of the Twilight Society.

The surrounding air is so quiet, so quiet that you can hear the rapid beating of your heart.

Weili is not their commander, and she doesn't even have much communication with these front-line soldiers. She needs a speech, a speech that can bring her closer to these soldiers.

She originally thought that when this moment came, she would be nervous and at a loss, but when this moment really came, she felt an unprecedented sense of tranquility.

Looking at the people in front of her, she could suddenly understand the feeling of her father standing on the podium. She took a deep breath, held the decorative dagger at her waist, recalled the speech that the young man had revised for her, and spoke slowly

,

"Everyone standing here now, we have all lost our families and our happy lives because of the Eternal Esoteric Cult. We all remember the most tragic moments in our memories, the scenes that have echoed in our dreams countless times.

"Compared to the Eternal Secret Cult, we are just humble ants. We are weak and powerless, and it seems that we cannot shake them at all.

"In the years that the Twilight Society has existed, despite our best efforts, the Eternal Secret Cult continues to grow stronger.

"Now, they have even taken control of the city, like a huge curtain covering everything we can see, holding us tightly in their hands like a group of ants."

After hearing her words, there was some commotion in the crowd.

But Willie did not let these commotions turn into doubts. She raised her voice slightly and continued,

"But even ants can bite bumps on people, and even the weakest rabbit can leave claw marks on a hunter's hands.

"Now, the hands of the Eternal Secret Cult have been squeezed. They have blocked the city gates, controlled the Internet, and their tentacles have spread throughout the city.

"Now, death is before our eyes.

"A hound trapped in a cage can roar angrily, and a fox stuck in a trap can howl sharply.

"Some people in this world died quietly,

"Some people die, and their glory can be seen across the starry sky,

"Now, this is our only chance, the chance to change everything. Our actions may have no effect, and we may die in the flames of the first wave of fighting,

"But the whole city can see us coming. If there really is a kingdom after death in this world, then our family can also see everything we do.

"If we succeed, this city will no longer have people who join us with new hatreds,

"If we fail, our flame will burn forever.

"I can tell you clearly that death is closer to us,"

scandium--

The blonde girl suddenly pulled out the dagger at her waist, and two huge pure white mechas emerged from behind her.

"Life and death are in front of you. If you are willing to follow me, take a step forward. If you are not willing, retreat to the backcourt. When the time is up, I will let you go."

Silence permeated the dim square.

After a short pause, almost everyone, including the surrounding support staff, moved forward at the same time and took that step.

Willy stared at the figures standing resolutely in front of her, slowly pulled out her hand, put the dagger in her hand back into the scabbard, then she took a deep breath and said in a slightly broken voice,

"We will eventually reach the final destination!"

Off-road vehicles came from the other side of the square. Under the arrangements of the logistics staff, all the soldiers got on the vehicles one by one.

Willy stood in the center of the square, looking at the Twilight Society soldiers getting on the bus, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"How about it?"

She gently touched the miniature walkie-talkie embedded in her ear.

"A little immature."

The young man's hoarse voice sounded.

The girl's breasts dropped slightly, and her breathing tightened a bit.

“But overall, it’s pretty good.”

The voice sounded again.

The girl's not-so-high breasts returned to their normal rise and fall again, "Can you speak without gasping for air?"

"The key to a speech is not how profound the argument is, but to let the people listening to your speech know that you stand with them,"

The young man's calm voice sounded slowly again, then he paused and continued, "You have matured a lot."

"Can you please stop being so old-fashioned when you speak?"

Willie glanced around and found that no one was looking at her, so she pursed her lips slightly and said, "I'm obviously the sister, okay."

There was no more sound coming from the intercom.

Willy raised her head and glanced at the two huge pure white mechas behind her.

She didn't know if she could come back alive.

But as the young man said when he finished revising his speech, no matter how humble a life is, it should let the world see its roar.

That guy may really be ‘K’.

novit district

"So that's why we're here?"

Lena raised her head and looked at the tall factory buildings around her.

There are almost no street lights on the nearby roads, but the integrity of the roads is better than in other areas of the Novit district. It seems that few vehicles have passed here.

The rumbling sound of machines echoed in the silent night around, filled with the most fundamental noise.

But this noisy noise in this deserted street seems to reveal something unreasonable and strange.

"There is no one in the security booth."

Lena walked to a nearby guard box and took a look inside, "It's strange, don't any of the factories nearby have security personnel?"

She followed the young man's figure and continued to move forward, while her eyes kept scanning the surroundings.

The huge machinery in the factory was still rumbling, but not a single person could be seen on the calm street. There were no security personnel on duty in the factory building, and not even a single person passed through the brightly lit windows.

The two continued walking forward for a few minutes, and the strange feeling around them became stronger and stronger.

Lena raised her head and glanced at the dark street ahead, "Are there even buses here?"

In order to maximize the operating efficiency of unmanned buses, the commuting time of the Novit District factory is divided into time periods, and the morning, middle and evening shifts are different in different areas.

In this way, the off-duty hours of different areas can be staggered, and therefore, the unmanned buses run almost 24 hours a day.

Moreover, the routes of these buses often overlap, so it is normal to suddenly encounter a bus full of employees while walking on the streets of the Novi district.

But they had been walking for so long, and it seemed they hadn't met a single bus.

Thinking of this, Lena looked back at the street behind her, "Speaking of which, where did we get into this place from?"

She carefully remembered that she followed the boy's footsteps and turned into a "dark alleyway" that was completely unattractive, and then she seemed to have suddenly entered this area.

She looked around again.

There was almost no difference between the surrounding factory buildings and the repeated factory buildings in the Novit district, but she always felt that this neighborhood was particularly strange.

This seemed to be a neighborhood in the Novit District that she had never been to. She had not even seen the detailed information about this neighborhood.

But this seems impossible. As one of the most well-informed people in the entire Winter City, even if the Novite District and the Cloud District are not within her sphere of influence, she cannot learn the most secret information, but she should not be connected to the place.

Never seen them.

She turned her head and looked at the young man wearing a hooded robe in front of her.

The young man was still walking forward calmly without any pause.

The two walked forward for a while, and suddenly something 'new' appeared in their field of vision.

Those are small 'transporters'.

These transport trucks are driving on this quiet street, with no one in the cab, and they are completely controlled by the main control computer.

Lena raised her hand and glanced at the bracelet, but there was still no signal.

These unmanned transport vehicles should be connected through some kind of encrypted LAN.

"Follow up."

The young man walking in front raised his head slightly, stared at the largest group of transport vehicles, and quickly followed it.

These transport trucks did not carry much load and were not traveling very fast. The two quickly caught up with the transport vehicles, and then followed their 'footsteps' and arrived at a deep street.

A huge building that was similar in height to the surrounding buildings, but several times larger in width and depth appeared in front of the two of them.
