Annihilation of the solar system

The unexpected gale disappeared almost in an instant, as if the stop button had been pressed. The howling march squeezing the eardrums was like a sudden pause in the endless climax, leaving only the sound in the ears.

"Buzzing" tinnitus and the sound of scattered pieces falling to the ground.

Chu Yusheng tried to leave the corridor door that was close to him, but he felt that the movement was extremely difficult. And he found that Xiao Hu's movements were also slow. The two of them almost suppressed their blushes before they stood up straight. Electronics were floating in the air.

The smell of burning equipment.

"This exoskeleton seems to have no power." Xiao Hu struggled to move his right hand to press the computer on his left arm.

Chu Yusheng took a look and saw that the screen and all the indicator lights on his arm were off.

"This powered exoskeleton can't be taken off!" Xiao Hu repeatedly pressed the release button, but the cuffs fixed to the body of the exoskeleton did not respond at all.

"The radio is not responding either," Chu Yusheng said.

"The mobile phone is also broken." Several militiamen were playing with their mobile phones, which also seemed to be broken.

With the help of several militiamen, Xiao Hu and Chu Yusheng finally broke free from the powered exoskeleton. Chu Yusheng opened the door from the corridor to the rooftop, and the black clouds above his head had completely disappeared. Night had completely fallen, and the entire building

The city was dark. The vast sea of ​​stars reappeared in the night sky, and the dim star ring passed diagonally across the corner of the Milky Way.

Chu Yusheng and Xiao Hu ran down the 33rd floor stairs on foot. When they walked out of the building, a choking gray gas hit their faces. The gray sand picked up by the strong wind was still floating in the air, and from time to time they could step on scattered debris and debris under their feet.

Glass shards. A figure ran under the starlight. When I walked in, I saw that it was the captain of the armed forces.

"Squad leader Chu, deputy squad leader Hu. We finally found you. Communication and power have been interrupted. What should we do now?"

Chu Yusheng and Xiao Hu looked at each other, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

"Everyone is very nervous and scared now. If you give the order, everyone will feel much more at ease!" the captain said anxiously.

Chu Yusheng hesitated and said hesitantly:

"Um...let's keep everyone on standby and don't panic. Power and communications should be restored soon."

He said a few careless words, but the captain's tense face relaxed a lot.

"Yes! Squad Leader Chu, I will go and deliver the order right away. We will feel more at ease with you here."

Looking at the black shadow disappearing into the night, Chu Yusheng felt some ripples in his heart. This was the first time he felt his importance to another group of people. This importance had nothing to do with his family and wealth.

Simply because that group of people trust themselves.

Just when he was thinking about going back to the garage to check the situation, with a crackling sound, a man with a flashlight ran over. When he got closer, he saw that the man was a comrade from the same company.

"Chu Yusheng, Xiao Hu. The company commander informed us to gather at the company headquarters immediately!"

After saying that, he ran to the next place.

Chu Yusheng and Xiao Hu immediately ran to the company headquarters. The most common sight they saw along the way was that soldiers stationed on streets and intersections were struggling to peel off full-coverage power armor with the help of their comrades.

Arriving at the company headquarters, this is a commercial center at the intersection. The company commander gathered everyone in a corner of the square. Chu Yusheng glanced at it and saw that without exception, his comrades had removed their powered exoskeletons. Some people had and

I was still empty. Some people were holding electromagnetic rifles, but the indicator light that should be constant did not light up.

The company commander stood on the steps in front of the queue. His expression could not be seen clearly under the dim starlight, but his eyes under the brim of his hat were shining brightly. He asked loudly:

"Tell me! What is your mission?"

"Defend the homeland, protect the people, and destroy the enemy!" the queue responded in unison.

The company commander glanced at everyone and nodded slightly:

"Very good! Let me tell you, the current situation is that all communications have been interrupted. We can't get orders from above, and the above don't know our situation. But! This will not affect our ability to complete our mission and move towards the inevitable destination.

Our victory!

The current situation is very difficult. We don’t know what caused the current situation, let alone what the enemy will do next. But you remember, in the past hundred years or so, our victory in armed struggle has always relied on

Not weapons and equipment.

In the most difficult time, our predecessors only had one radio station for one brigade and one rifle for two people. They still achieved a brilliant victory! You cannot be discouraged because of the difficulties in front of you, let alone bow to the enemy! Because,

Behind us is the survival of human civilization, and we have no way out. Do you understand?"

"Got it!" A loud voice echoed in the night.

"Okay! Be prepared to fight independently. This is our special skill. Don't forget it! When you don't receive orders, remember your mission!" The company commander lowered his voice.

"yes!"

The company commander took an ordinary automatic rifle from the instructor and held it in his hand:

"Also! Next time, don't let me see you all acting like tigers with your teeth pulled out. Will you not be able to arm yourself without the power exoskeleton and electromagnetic rifle? Go back to your posts and bring your

Team! Disband!"

Chu Yusheng and Xiao Hu were also about to turn around and leave when the company commander stopped them:

"Chu Yusheng, Xiao Hu, you stay!"

They walked quickly to the company commander.

"Company Commander! What are your instructions?"

"Chu Yusheng, I heard someone said that you are quite familiar with Shanghai. Is this true?" the company commander asked.

Chu Yusheng nodded perversely and smiled:

"Reporting to the company commander, I did often wander around Shanghai before joining the army. You know, I just played around and did not do my job. But after more than ten years of joining the army, Shanghai may have changed a lot and I am not familiar with it anymore."

The company commander said:

"Don't worry, no one has had time to carry out urban construction in the past ten years. Roads and planning have remained the same as they were a dozen years ago. Now communications are completely interrupted. The company needs a liaison soldier to go to the battalion headquarters every day to receive orders and report on the situation. I see

You are the most suitable person in the company, and you and Xiao Hu will perform this mission together."

Chu Yusheng looked troubled:

"The battalion headquarters is more than 20 kilometers away from here. If we hike every day, I'm afraid we won't have the time or energy to lead the team!"

The company commander shouted sharply:

"Don't complain to me. If the other soldiers didn't know the road at all, I wouldn't have given you this mission! The job of leading armed civilians in the community must not be left behind! And you are not allowed to walk!"

The company commander pointed to the two bicycles on the side and said:

"The engineers should soon be able to set up wired hand-crank telephone communications. You can't do this job for a few days. But if the communication is not restored for a day, you have to finish this job for me. Do you understand!"

"Promise to complete the mission!" Chu Yusheng and Xiao Hu stood up straight and performed a military salute.

On the way back, Xiao Hu was very excited.

"Brother Yu Sheng, this is a good mission! I haven't been to Shanghai before, so you can open my eyes with me."

Chu Yusheng sighed:

"In the past, I could really open your eyes. Now, let's keep our mission in mind!"

The two figures pushing bicycles gradually disappeared under the curtain of the dark city.
