"It seems we really have no way out."

He Ao withdrew his gaze, put his hands on the solid wood steering wheel, looked at the completely darkened sky in front of him, and smiled.

"It reminds me of the days when I was young and surviving in the wilderness."

Covey also laughed hoarsely, then he paused and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything going on in the west?"

"Won't,"

He Ao held the steering wheel and turned it gently, "I'm on my way here."

After hearing this, Covey was silent for a moment, then he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, then I should get ready."

Then he paused, as if remembering something, and asked hoarsely, "Aren't you worried that the consortium has infiltrated my people?"

The Ives space system's penetration into Nancheng is not weak. In the past, officers used mechas to hunt down He Ao.

"There are some guys who may have been blinded by the federal currency,"

He Ao said slowly, "But I also believe that there is no shortage of people in the city defense army who are willing to fight to the end to defend the city and the future. They are all brave warriors."

He has seen too many people like this. Even on the high wall of St. John City, when the command system completely collapsed and the Kjet mercenary group entered the high wall, there were still a large number of people who were isolated and helpless.

, but the soldiers of the city defense army were still fighting at the last moment.

Hearing this answer, Covey was slightly startled, then he lowered his head and said calmly and firmly, "They will not betray your trust."

The rich darkness swallowed up the silver-blue old-fashioned limousine, and also swallowed up the faces of the two old men.

low-rise block

As night fell completely, in the dim light, the young man repairing the bracelet put the last bracelet into the drawer, then stretched out and put down the mechanical tool in his hand.

Then he turned his head sideways, glanced at the hazy and dark night outside, and took off the electronic magnifying glass hanging on his left eye.

There was a slightly excited noise from the side. He slowly stood up and looked at the TV playing the news.

The TV host was still rattling off the dirty information to criticize the mayor and the city cabinet, as if the people living in the palace surrounded by a sea of ​​jasmine were the most notorious villains in the city.

The young man raised his hand and turned off the TV.

The whole world seemed to be silent at this moment. The young man put down the repair tools one by one, and then put the repaired bracelet into a cabinet nearby.

When everything was done, he reached out and turned off the lights in front of the table.

As the dim light that illuminated the entire room was extinguished, the narrow shop blended into the darkness of the night.

In the silent darkness, the young man walked to a pile of boxes containing electronic components. After a brief hesitation, he reached out and pulled out a silver suitcase from between the boxes.

Then he walked out of the shop step by step with the suitcase in hand, picked up the long iron hook on the side, and hooked the lower edge of the open rolling shutter door.

Standing in front of the dark door, he raised his head and glanced at the entire store again.

Then he slowly used force to pull down the entire rolling shutter door, cutting off the night and the shop.

The night wind was slightly cool, and there was no one on the old road. The young man raised his head and glanced at the huge advertising screen above his head. At this moment, the mayor's answer from today's noon press conference was being replayed on the screen.

He retracted his gaze, picked up the suitcase, turned around, and slowly moved forward along the dilapidated road.

The people on the night shift have left, and the people on the afternoon shift have not yet gotten off work. The low-rise block is unusually quiet at the moment.

After turning around a few intersections, a dimly lit gate in the distance appeared in the young man's field of vision.

At this moment, some pedestrians began to appear around.

Some of them knew the young man. They stopped and greeted the young man in a low voice. The young man responded one by one. When they reached the gate, a little boy hurried in from outside the gate.

As soon as he saw the young man, he waved excitedly, "Brother Wells!"

"Jerlin?"

The young man lowered his head and looked at the boy with a smile, "Didn't you send your mother to the doctor? How is she doing now?"

"Already completely settled,"

The boy was a little excited, "The doctor introduced by Mr. Lin En was so great. He confirmed my mother's condition after a while of looking at it. He also said that my mother's disease is rare and valuable for observation, and he exempted us from medical expenses."

He can operate on my mother tomorrow."

"That's good,"

The young man looked at the boy with a smile, "Your life is starting to get better."

"Everyone's life is starting to get better,"

The boy chuckled and looked back at the slightly broken gate behind him and the city defense soldiers guarding the door, "How could I dare to come in through the east gate before? Those prisoners wouldn't even give me a scratch."

, now it’s fine, I can enter through the gate in a dignified manner, and no one will ask me for money.”

“Really good.”

The young man looked up at the door in front of him and smiled.

"That's right, Brother Wells,"

At this time, the boy remembered something. He looked at the young man and asked in a low voice, "Do you still sell bracelets? I am going to buy a bracelet for my mother. When she recovers, I will give it to her. She

She will definitely be very happy. She has always said she doesn't need it before, and I know she is reluctant to let me spend money."

"Yes, but I have to go out for a while."

The young man thought for a moment, shook his head slightly and said.

"Um?"

The boy was a little confused, "Brother Wells, are you coming back?"

"meeting,"

The young man paused for a moment and looked at the boy in front of him, "But then, you may not need to buy a bracelet."

"ah?"

The boy looked at the young man in confusion.

But the young man did not talk to him again, but carried the suitcase and passed through the east gate not far away.

Vaguely, he seemed to see the young man's back jumping onto the roof of a low building.

But when he took a closer look, there was nothing there, only the dark and silent night.

——

Nancheng Command Center

Time passed by, until the night completely plunged into darkness, and the feeling of fatigue was already spreading in the darkness, but no one among the officers sitting densely in front of the crowded seats dared to relax. They raised their heads and were alert.

He looked at the live broadcast on the projection screen in front of him.

Not only one person lowered his head and yawned quietly, sleepiness quietly covered the entire space.

And at this moment, under the dim and silent sky on the screen, a series of magnificent and huge war machines slowly started, crossing the invisible line.

The flashing light seemed to surge and gather in the huge muzzle.

Like a bucket of cold water pouring down from the top of their heads, everyone woke up at this moment.

The flames of war were ignited.
