Alien paradise

“God bless…is this true?

"I'm not dreaming..."

Chaoyang once again heard the shocked "voices" of the prayers. Although he could not reply to them directly, he could display individual answers on the TV, mobile phone, and even the panel of the smart refrigerator.

"The Lord of Paradise is protecting you."

"Move forward, this is not a dream."

People plucked up the courage and tentatively walked out of the room where they were hiding - and then they were surprised to find that the fluorescent lights in the corridor were flashing in one direction, as if they were guiding them!

When the power supply is interrupted and everything falls into darkness, people's inner fears will be multiplied. But now that the lights are on again in the building, and the "redeemer" they have longed for has appeared, hope has finally defeated fear! Chaoyang saw more and more evacuated residents leaving their rooms and starting to gather towards the underground garage.

Especially when people find that they are not alone, and there are others walking with them on the road, their courage becomes even stronger.

Chaoyang also issued new instructions at the right time.

These instructions were transmitted one-on-one. He selected those who looked strong and asked them to help nearby neighbors who were injured or still dared not go out. Some of these instructions are text messages on mobile phones, and some are simply displayed directly on electronic billboards in the corridors. What is gratifying is that most people responded to Chaoyang's instructions - they postponed their escape, turned around and knocked open the doors of neighbors on the same floor, or carried the injured on their backs, or advised the timid, making the evacuation more efficient. It's gone up a notch.

But after all, there is a small group of die-hards who are unwilling to step out of their homes even after electricity is turned on.

Chaoyang reported the house numbers of these people to Elodie.

Compared with before, she might have to persuade hundreds of families alone, now she only has to find these ten people alone, knock them out one by one and take them away.

The time has now reached 1:10.

Chaoyang also received a notice from the Prevention and Control Center: Agricultural meteorological satellites detected a ballistic missile taking off from a distance of 1,500 kilometers and currently entering Canadian airspace. Supercomputer estimates indicate that its entire flight time was about 17 minutes, and the warhead detached. The time will be in 3 minutes.

He immediately informed Elodie of the news.

"Those guys are really on time, and they don't want to delay for even a minute!" the latter said angrily, "Can you help me open the doors of the elevator rooms No. 4 and No. 6... open them on every floor!"

"Of course." Chaoyang hooked his fingers, and the sliding doors of the two elevator shafts were all opened.

He guessed what Elodie wanted to do.

A straight line is the closest between two points. Similarly, jumping from the top floor to the first floor is the closest. Others will only fall to death if they jump down the elevator shaft, but for angels who can fly, this is a natural shortcut.

Through the shared perspective, he saw Elodie shuttle between the corridors at an astonishing speed, smashing the door with the wind-cutting sword, rushing into the door to take away those who refused to leave, and then throwing them together into the elevator shaft. , he activated the speed of wind to catch them from below, and threw them out of the underground garage with his last breath.

Although her movements were not that gentle, it only took her a minute and a half to clear out all the stranded people.

Seeing that all personnel were in place, Chaoyang immediately released the maze ability, and the building fell into darkness again.

"You just stay in the basement and comfort the refugees." He knew that Elodie had the ability to calm people. As long as she was there, the thousands of people crowded on the ground floor of the building would not be in chaos.

"how about you?"

"I want to see with my own eyes whether these self-awakened machines can stop a strategic missile falling from the sky."

"Isn't there any danger?"

"Don't worry, I'm the master of the paradise." Chaoyang smiled, and then called out to Xianyin, "Just like last time, take me to the roof."

"Please add the word "please" next time, I am the noble origin of the ancestors." Li Yin complained, but his movements were very agile. In the blink of an eye, he spread it out into a pancake and wrapped Chaoyang's body. This mode is exactly the "combination skill" used in the last discussion with Coco Moqi. The pickup can not only be used as an exoskeleton to drive Chaoyang's actions, but also has certain protective capabilities.

After completing the package, the slime jumped out of the window and climbed up the outer wall. His hands and feet were embedded in the wall like steel nails, and he climbed to the top of the building effortlessly.

There are still many drones patrolling the intersection, and there are even two tanks parked on the street, with their turrets facing the direction of possible enemies.

It's as if these machines know their identity and purpose.

It’s incredible…

Chaoyang has always had a question in his mind, that is, the time when they infect surrounding machines is not synchronized. For example, the first riot was caused by cars, followed by some outdoor equipment, such as self-service retail machines and ATMs. The camera will also gradually become infected, but much later. As for the billboards, phone booths and other facilities along the street, they have always remained the same. It seems that they do not belong to the category of machines, even though their structures are much more complex than a lawnmower.

Also, the infection situation inside the building is obviously better than outside.

Even in the underground garage, few cars suddenly "wake up".

He vaguely felt that this kind of infection differed from object to object. In other words, the "machine" in the eyes of the God of All Machines may not be exactly the same as the machine defined by humans; at the same time, this kind of infection may not even involve actual contact. Yes, if there are no awakened bacteria floating in the air, then the most reasonable inference is only visual inspection - this may be the reason why there is almost no machine rebellion inside the building.

And now, he got an excellent opportunity for verification.

At 1:14, Chaoyang saw a cluster of light appearing in the night sky. It is bluer and brighter than the stars.

After a while, it began to spread gradually, completely revealing its true appearance - not a cluster, but five light spots clustered together.

That's the separation track of the warhead.

The high temperature generated by friction ionizes the surrounding air, and the warhead looks like a ghostly blue fire when viewed through the atmosphere.

I have to admit that Western University is not so ruthless to its allies, and actually directly launched warheads on them. Even if it is not carrying nuclear weapons, flying into a downtown area is definitely shocking news.

Considering that the network in M ​​City was interrupted before the electricity, maybe the people above had already prepared a plan to deal with public opinion.

"coming!"

Chaoyang warned Elodie.

The starlight that seemed so far away just now rushed to the eyes in less than half a minute - five warheads dragged bright flames and smashed into the intersection area. Two of them landed almost one after another among the five colors. Around the door, there was a violent banging sound like thunder!

The other three pierced into a nearby large shopping mall and a gas station respectively. They instantly set off three dazzling fireballs in the city! Especially the warhead that hit the gas station, the explosion caused by the flames almost reached the sky, briefly lighting up the entire city for a few seconds!

Even though Chaoyang allowed the sound pickup to completely seal his ear canal, he still heard this series of earth-shattering roars through the violent vibrations under his feet. The shock wave shattered the glass of houses within a ten-mile radius and uprooted street lamps and telephone poles around the blast center! Flames, smoke, debris, air waves... this area seemed to have turned into a hell on earth for a while.

He himself was not affected too much. After all, he was on the roof of the building, and the residential building was not directly hit by the warhead. What's more, the moment before the explosion, the pickup expanded, building a buffer wall that blocked most of the impact for him.

Chaoyang realized that his guess was probably right - among the five warheads, only the two closest to the portal did not detonate! The warhead fell much faster than the flying speed of the drone. In such a short period of time, the rioting machine had no chance to get close to the warhead!

At this moment, a subtle force of wish entered Chaoyang's body.

He was stunned for a moment and looked above his head.

I saw more than a dozen vague white threads appearing in the sky at some point. They seemed to be broken by blowing, but they appeared to be extremely tough.

How come there are believers in Paradise here?

Chaoyang stood stunned for a moment before he realized...these wishes came from the refugees in the building!
