Chapter 427 The Final Battlefield

The emergence of Sky City changed the local climate of Crescent City. The heat energy generated by the operation of thousands of plasma engines formed convection with the cold air, causing strong winds throughout the city.

Weilai held the knitted hat on his head to prevent it from being blown away by the strong wind. He looked up at the Sky City that appeared in the distant sky and asked, "Didn't the boss say that he brought everyone back from the capital? Where are they?"

Qi Ling: "I just contacted him. He is still on the way. The capital is more than ten hours away from us. It will probably arrive late tonight."

She took the laptop on the table and her fingers jumped quickly on the keyboard: "It's almost time, let's proceed to the next plan."

"Attack Sky City!"

Under Qi Ling's operation, the flight vehicle hangars on the middle floor of the Edge Building were all opened, and dense drone formations poured out from them, like black crows of flying ants rushing into the sky.

These drones are the most advanced military models with strong environmental adaptability. They are not affected by the strong wind. The engines of the formation they formed roared through the sky. The number of drones almost covered the sun above the dome and cast a dark shadow on the ground.

The drones in the sky were all over the sky from all directions. Compared with the vast and magnificent sky city, the size of the drones was just a grain of dust, but their number was too large. From a distance, they looked like countless ants hunting giant beasts.

Not long after, the first gunfire sounded in the air. The drone formation launched a fierce attack. Various machine guns, lasers and micro missiles poured down like raindrops. The dense firepower was intertwined in the air into a huge fire net.

The laser beams danced in the air like red light snakes, cutting through the sky with hot energy, the micro missiles dragged long tail flames, and the bullets of the machine guns were like dense raindrops. Various attacks whistled towards the sky city.

As the supreme home of the human elite, the sky city naturally also has the top defense system.

As the attacking drones approached, the defense drones belonging to Sky City also began to appear. They rushed straight to the enemy formation and began to intercept.

The drones of both sides fought frantically under the control of their own intelligent systems. The interception missiles drew arcs in the air and formed fireballs one after another after the explosion.

The high-frequency pulse weapons released strong electromagnetic waves, interfering with and paralyzing the opponent's electronic system, causing it to lose control in the air and fall one after another.

At this time, the sky had become a chaotic battlefield, with fire and smoke rising everywhere, and destroyed drones falling all the time, as if there was a burning rain of fire in the sky.

In addition to sending out drones to intercept and defend, Sky City also has an extremely advanced energy shield system. As each shield node lights up, the azure light curtain barrier unfolds around its main body, wrapping the entire Sky City.

These barriers composed of pure energy have no dead angles and can block all attacks from drones.

The laser beam hit it, and the huge shock wave of the micro-missile explosion caused ripples. The machine gun bullets were all bounced off in a series of crisp collisions. No matter how the drone attacked, it could not penetrate the barrier.

This air battle lasted for a whole day, from dawn to dusk, and the afterglow of the setting sun gradually dyed the sky red, as if it was painted with rich blood.

At this time, the drones launched from Crescent City had basically been consumed and all were destroyed and fell.

Obviously, it is impossible to attack the Sky City with the power of a mere city and relying solely on drones.

However, in this long and fierce battle, the shield energy of the Sky City was also consumed, and because the energy supply reactor was largely used for defense, the energy allocated to the propulsion engine was reduced, resulting in its abnormally slow movement. It did not fly out of the suburbs of Crescent City for a whole day.

Gradually, it was night, and the Sky City with its dazzling light curtain looked particularly magnificent in the night. The energy barrier was still standing, and the wreckage of drones could be seen everywhere on the ground. It can be imagined how fierce the battle was during the day.

Countless white stars manifested by the Spear of Judgment still shine on the dome, forming a sea of ​​stars symbolizing death, telling the destruction that will come at dawn after the night.

Two-thirds of the 24-hour strike countdown has been completed.

When the dawn rises, the end of the world will come.

On this last night before the end of the world, people's rationality completely collapsed in the face of fear, and order no longer existed. Everywhere in the world was full of chaos, despair, and violence.

On the streets of Crescent City, all kinds of chaos were taking place.

A man in religious uniform stood on a burned car, holding a black flag with a strange totem in his hand, and fanatically preached to the people around him about the end of the world, judgment, gods, and punishment.

In this era, with the vigorous development of science and technology, religious forces have long declined, and no one would care about him at ordinary times.

However, at this time, he was kneeling beside believers.

In the despair of the end of the world, these believers chose religion as a spiritual totem, escaping reality with temporary faith, and fell into collective frenzy.

They prayed devoutly with their hands clasped together, shouting the slogans in the doctrine at the top of their lungs, as if they could get the so-called salvation by doing so.

Not far from these believers, a group of thugs were smashing, looting and burning. They were holding sticks, iron pipes and Molotov cocktails, frantically destroying everything they could see around them.

The shop windows were smashed to pieces, and the cars on the street were set on fire. The raging flames illuminated the entire street, and also lit up the brutality on the faces of the thugs.

They don't steal, rob, or have any clear goals. They just keep destroying, howling, and wantonly trampling on the legal bottom line that once imprisoned them, venting their inner fear and despair in this extreme way.

In the downtown area, a large adult party is going on. High-power speakers are playing passionate music from nightclubs. Thousands of naked men and women are indulging in lust in the square. From a distance, they look like countless twisted maggots. The scene is extremely unbearable to watch.

Anyway, it's the last night. No one cares about moral shame anymore. They all release their animal desires unscrupulously, trying to numb themselves with the pleasure brought by the flesh, and forget the impending doomsday in this bliss.

This may be the craziest night in human history.

The collective rationality of mankind has completely collapsed, and moral and legal constraints no longer exist. The whole world is in chaos. Some people numb themselves in carnival, some vent their anger in violence, and some find peace in faith. Everyone is facing fate in their own way.

And in this chaotic night full of mania, no one noticed that a meteor streaked across the sky outside Crescent City.

The meteor lit up from the end of the sky and rushed straight to the Sky City. After hitting the energy barrier, it exploded into a blue ripple.

Due to the large amount of energy consumed by the drone formation during the day, coupled with the extremely strong impact of the "meteor", the energy barrier of the Sky City was smashed into a hole.

Although the hole was restored almost instantly, the "meteor" had also entered its interior.

Where the "meteor" fell, two figures slowly walked out.

Su Mo folded the mechanical wings behind him, put down Su Mo Tong in his arms, waved his hand to disperse the surrounding smoke and dust, and looked into the distance.

The Sky City at night was shrouded in soft moonlight, as if covered with a layer of silver gauze.

Unlike the imagined scene of various high-tech facilities everywhere, there are almost no modern facilities here, full of primitive natural landscapes.

The reason is also very simple. When technology is fully popularized and steel high-rise buildings are erected from the ground, nature has become the most scarce thing, and only the supreme human elites are qualified to enjoy it.

Looking from a high place, the surface of Sky City is covered by vast forests, like an endless green carpet, stretching endlessly, and it looks particularly quiet and mysterious under the moonlight.

The ancient trees are towering into the clouds, and the lush branches and leaves form a green dome. Occasionally, a few rays of moonlight penetrate through the branches and leaves, casting mottled light and shadows on the ground. The breeze blows and the sound of leaves rustling, as if whispering the secrets of the forest.

Various small animals live leisurely in the forest. Several deer are pacing in the woods, lowering their heads to nibble on the grass on the ground, and their ears are raised from time to time to listen to the movements around them.

The brown rabbit jumped out of the bushes, flexibly shuttled between the trees, and occasionally stopped to sniff the air with its nose.

The owl on the branch opened its round eyes, quietly watching everything on the ground, and made a low "coo" sound from time to time.

In the middle of the forest, there is a lake area that is larger than the Crescent City Warm Water Lake. The lake water is silvery under the moonlight, like a huge mirror, reflecting the endless white stars in the sky.

The reeds by the lake sway gently in the breeze, and the white swans swim gracefully, sometimes lowering their heads to comb their feathers, and sometimes spreading their wings to flap the water, splashing waves, and startling a few small fish to jump out of the water.

On this night before the end of the world, humans with high intelligence fell into collective madness, but these ignorant animals were leisurely and comfortable, just like last night, just like countless nights in the past.

Su Mo picked up Su Mo Tong again, activated the flight module of the prosthesis and flew to the central area of ​​Sky City, and switched to low noise mode specifically, so as not to disturb the small animals in nature.

Sky City is very large, and the flight route is a certain distance. While flying, Su Mo dialed the contact with the Edge Building, and specifically called KK.

"Brother!" After the communication was connected, KK's concerned and urgent voice came from the other end, "Are you okay? Is there anything you want to tell me?"

"Everything is fine, I have entered the Sky City." Su Mo smiled slightly and said with some sadness, "Nothing to tell me, I suddenly thought of the year we met."

"At that time, I said that within three years, I would be in the Sky City overlooking the world, and you would stand by my side."

"Now I have come up, but I can't bring you with me, and the time is a little late. I feel ashamed when I think about it."

KK's mind is as delicate as ever. He knows that the more people face important occasions, the more they will recall what happened along the way.

Su Mo rarely talked about the past before. He suddenly mentioned the past now, probably because he had a heavy burden in his heart.

After all, the fate of all mankind is on him alone.

Therefore, KK did not appear serious, but responded humorously: "I thought you were just saying it casually, I didn't take it seriously, why did you take it seriously?"

"What's so good about the Sky City? I used to take the hovercraft every day when I was on a business trip, and I'm tired of the scenery in the sky."

Su Mo smiled knowingly and joked: "Oh, Mr. K is really a big shot now. He was so happy to have roasted potatoes, but now he doesn't even look down on the Sky City."

KK said lazily: "That's not right, the past is the past, and the present is the present. Do you still remember our first rental house? It was an old and broken house."

The two of them, one in the sky and the other on the ground, talked about the past.

Occasionally, where Su Mo flew over, he could see a piece of independent manor, which was built in the dense woods and perfectly integrated with the natural landscape.

The stone bricks of the manor building are covered with vines, and the green leaves look particularly soft in the moonlight. The windows are ancient glass windows with complex patterns carved on the edges.

The courtyard is full of various flowers, and several smart lights hanging on the branches emit soft light, shrouding the manor in a beautiful light and shadow.

These are the homes of the residents of Sky City.

The area of ​​Sky City is about the same as Crescent City. Crescent City is home to 32 million people, while there are only 112 people living in Sky City.

At a time when technology has penetrated into every corner of life, these human elites are like kings, sitting on vast lands and enjoying a natural life that returns to nature.

But there was something unusual tonight. No one could be seen in the manor that Su Mo passed by. These human elites seemed to have disappeared from their small kingdoms and did not know where they went.

Time passed by minute by minute, and Su Mo finally came to the most central area of ​​Sky City.

The moonlight illuminated a building standing in the wilderness. Its outer wall was made of black stone. Some grotesque symbols that had never appeared in human culture could be seen everywhere on the surface. They glowed slightly in the moonlight, revealing a strange and ominous atmosphere.

The overall building was in the shape of a tower, with the spire piercing the night sky like a sword. Many stained glass windows could be seen around it. The paintings on them were not common religious patterns, but grotesque things that were difficult to describe in words.

Red dripped like blood, green twisted like a venomous snake, and blue was as deep as the deep sea. Through these gloomy glass colors, you can vaguely see the mottled light spots inside the church, as if countless pairs of eyes were watching the outside world in the dark.

Su Mo brought Su Mo Tong to land at the main entrance of the building. There was a circle of tall iron fences here. Each iron bar was wrapped with thorns, and the sharp thorns flashed coldly in the moonlight.

This building obviously did not belong to the style of any era in human history, and it was full of ominous atmosphere everywhere.

Su Motong stared at the bizarre symbols carved on the surface of the building, then swept his eyes across the colored windows with bizarre paintings, and said in a deep voice: "These do not belong to human civilization, they are all related texts and paintings from the construct civilization."

Su Mo: "Yes, this is our last battlefield."

He whispered into the communicator: "KK, it's time to say goodbye."

KK's resolute voice came from the other end: "Go, all of us are waiting for you here." (End of this chapter)
