Chapter 319 May the Aurora Never Fade Away

Plum Blossom K glanced back,

"Master often said that to know a person deeply, you should not just look at what he says or what he looks like, but what he does... If it weren't for him, Aurora City would have become a hotbed of disaster. You don't even know what he is like. People don’t know, so why do they think it will pose a threat to humans?”

Hongxiu was slightly startled, looking at the sleeping Chen Ling and fell into silence.

"There's more." Meihua K said lightly,

"It's not the turn of outsiders to dictate matters regarding the Dusk Club."

Plum Blossom K left without looking back, and his solemn black suit disappeared at the end of the ruins.

Hongxiu stood there, raised her head and took one last look at the cyan and blue aurora sea, as if she wanted to remember it forever in her heart, turned around and walked in the opposite direction...

…

the other side.

Among the ruins of Aurora City, a charred body fell to the ground like a corpse. The extremely cold frost and snow covered his body, and he had no breath.

But as the seawater, which seemed to have no thickness, spread in the city and slowly soaked under his body, black spells came to life on the surface of his skin. The frost and snow on his body began to melt, and his subtle breaths were heard in the severe cold. Reappear.

"I...this is...where..." Zhao Yi's consciousness was blurred, and he opened his eyes a little while half asleep and half awake.

The spell passed over his eyes, and he only saw two figures walking slowly towards the end of the charred earth. Zhao Yi couldn't see their faces clearly, and he had even lost the ability to think. His body felt heavier than ever before. .

An unfamiliar hand held up his head, and the next moment, a beam as bright as a flashlight lit up from the blurry darkness, as if someone was checking his eyes.

"This degree of fusion... is it natural fusion? No... I can't smell the bloody smell of disaster, it seems to be artificial fusion..."

"Aurora Base, has it also broken through the experimental bottleneck of artificial fusion?"

"Aurora Base's research on fusion should be far less perfect than ours, and if they really mastered artificial fusion, they wouldn't be reduced to this... I think this kid should be an accident."

"The most important thing is that I can't smell what kind of disaster he is fused with... It seems that every disaster in the Forbidden Sea has a bit of it? What is this? You can't string it together like this, right?"

"To be able to withstand this level of fusion, he hasn't gone insane yet. His willpower is still top-notch."

"Originally I just wanted to collect some disaster corpses and take them back for study, but I didn't expect an unexpected surprise... Take him back. He is a good seedling and has the potential to become a 'holy apostle'."

"It's so heavy... This guy doesn't look big, so why is he so heavy?"

"We all said that the fusion technology at Aurora Base is too backward and can easily lead to fusion distortion. Take him back and inject him with a few new medicines, and then teach him to control his own power. Sooner or later he will be able to recover... Hey, he seems to be waking up?"

Zhao Yi felt like he was being carried on someone's shoulders and kept bumping. In a daze, he opened his eyes...

Someone patted him on the shoulder and said with a grin:

"Comrade...welcome to join the glorious evolution."

…

Aurora City ruins, underground.

Han Meng bit the bandage, wrapped the treated wound on his knee bit by bit, and sighed.

As all the facilities on the surface were blown up, Aurora Base also lost most of its power supply. There was a dead silence in the dark corridor, as if Han Meng was the only one left here.

He leaned against the wall and looked at the lift shaft blocked by rubble, his eyes full of complexity.

Tuk-tuk-tuk...

A slight sound came from the other side of the corridor. Han Meng was slightly startled and frowned.

The light of the kerosene lamp dispelled the darkness at the end of the corridor, and a figure walked slowly towards here on crutches and holding a kerosene lamp.

He was an unkempt old man, exuding the aura of old age. Only his eyes were still deep and mysterious, seeming to shine with the starlight of human destiny... He stood next to Han Meng, slowly bent down, and held the kerosene lamp in his hand. put it on the floor.

"...I thought there was no one in this base anymore." Han Meng said in a deep voice.

"The top scientific researchers have already left on the boundary train. I have also returned the others to the surface. If nothing else, they have all turned into aurora..." The old man's voice was extremely calm, "Now, this base I'm the only one here."

"Really? Then you admit defeat pretty quickly."

"That's the truth." The old man shook his head, "Hongxiu and Tan Xin betrayed them at the same time. Even if all the law enforcement officers in Aurora City combined, they would not be their opponents... In this case, it is in the best interest of mankind to preserve scientific research talents as much as possible. decision."

"Then why don't you go to the surface? Transform into an aurora. At least you have a chance to come back."

The old man did not answer immediately. He leaned on a cane with both hands and stood silently outside the halo of the kerosene lamp. After a long time, he spoke hoarsely:

"I... grew up in this base since I was a child. Before I was thirty, I dreamed of going to the surface to see... By the time I was forty or fifty, I was no longer curious about everything on the surface. Later, in the darkroom After living for another thirty years... at the age of eighty, I no longer have the courage to set foot on the surface.

I have placed my whole life on Aurora Base. Even if I die, I will die here. "

Han Meng looked at him blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Is there really someone who will live in this small underground base for a lifetime? Han Meng couldn't imagine how he survived this life and what supported him all the way to where he is today.

"Don't look at me like that." The old man closed his eyes and said,

"Only by being closed underground and unable to see the splendor of the earth can we completely abandon emotions and humanity... Hundreds of thousands, millions of people are just a number to me. Only by simplifying and quantifying everything can we become like machines. Always make decisions that are best for humanity.

Every generation of leaders in the Aurora Base has come this way. "

Han Meng was silent. He withdrew his gaze from the old man. In fact, he had no hostility towards the leader who launched the "reappearance" plan. What's more, the prosperity of the Aurora Realm in the past few hundred years was originally due to one person. Built by leaders like him.

Han Meng walked straight towards the lift shaft that was sealed by rubble.

"What are you going to do?" the old man asked.

"Return to the surface." Han Meng crushed the coal in his hand, stretched his hand towards the distance, and a pistol automatically flew into his palm from the warehouse, "I can still fight."

The old man shook his head, "The explosives have been detonated, and Aurora City has long been reduced to ruins... Everyone who should leave has left. Now there is only disaster up there. With your fifth-level strength, you are just going to die."

"That's better than waiting to die here."

"The Aurora Realm has disappeared, and there are very few law enforcement officers left in the world... Do you want to die in the Gray Realm in a meaningless battle, or do you wait until one day to become a law enforcement officer who protects mankind?"

Han Meng stopped and asked, "What do you mean?"

The old man stretched out his hand and pointed to the base under his feet.

"Although Aurora City is gone, there are still enough supplies in the Aurora Base to support hundreds of people for a hundred years... You can stay until one day your strength is enough to allow you to walk in the gray world to the next realm. Leave again.”

When Han Meng heard this, his eyes lit up with a glimmer of light, as if he was thinking about this issue seriously.

"Of course..." the old man smiled, "You can still accompany me, a dying old man, and chat occasionally. I also know a lot of secrets about Red Star... I have been hiding in the darkroom for thirty years. It has been a long time. I’ve never spoken to anyone like this before.”

After pondering for a long time, Han Meng took one last look at the sealed lift shaft, as if he had made up his mind, and took a deep breath...

"Okay." He nodded,

"I will use my own strength to reach the next realm... that day, it won't be too late."

…

Boom——!

In the cold gray world, a train engraved with mysterious runes roared across the surface of the Forbidden Sea.

As the ancient characters on the surface of the train and the rails flickered, no disaster was approaching here. The steaming smoke floated out from the front of the train. It carried the last flames of Aurora City and rushed straight to the direction of the next realm.

There was a deathly silence in the train carriage at this moment.

Whether they are the top scientific researchers in Aurora City or the political leaders of various parties, they are all looking silently at the distant ruins outside the window, with mixed feelings in their hearts... They are the survivors of this realm, and they have witnessed it with their own eyes. Witnesses of death.

When the aurora dissipated, they truly realized that the peace and prosperity in any realm was just a temporary illusion... The aurora realm was not the first to be destroyed, and it would not be the last, even if they escaped this Jie, what about next time?

In this gray and lonely world, where is the future of mankind?

In such a depressing and silent atmosphere, a woman sitting by the window quietly opened the notebook in her hand.

In the front of the notebook was a reporter's daily records and analysis of various cases she encountered. At the back was a long explanation of a certain plan. When she turned the last page, it was an inner text similar to a monologue. .

"...Yes, I don't know how far mankind can go in this disaster, but I believe that we will never stop..."

"...Aurora City is a failure, but it is also a success. Our souls will accompany the Aurora and stay in the sky above the Aurora realm forever, and our three hundred years of efforts for mankind will become the continuation of this world for mankind. The torch in the grand relay lights up the road ahead..."

"Now, we pass the torch..."

"The next realm, the next realm... As long as the train still roars in the steam, as long as the sun still rises from the east, as long as the kites in the hands of children still fly in the sky... One day, we will survive Through the cold winter.”

"at last……"

"May the aurora never fade away."
