End of the Sky (Multiverse's End)

Zion.

Temple or sanctuary in ancient Hebrew, where the Creator resides in the Jewish holy scriptures.

In the world background of "The Matrix", Zion is the gathering place of the last survivors of mankind, located deep underground.

There is an old saying: predecessors plant trees, descendants enjoy the shade!

On the contrary, if the predecessors dig a hole, the future generations will suffer!

In the past, human beings covered the sky with black mist in order to cut off the main energy source of robots. As a result, the robot has nothing to do with it. Instead, due to lack of energy, humans live underground and rely on geothermal energy for their livelihoods.

This is probably the highest level of death!

After a few days of voyage, the Nebuchadnezzar shuttled through the pipelines of the underground world. During the period, it stopped several times to play hide-and-seek with the squid, and arrived at Zion, which was buried deep underground, without any danger.

The last city of mankind.

Zion and the mother body are like the inside and outside of the wall. People outside the wall laugh at the people inside the wall for not being free and being slaves at the mercy of others. dog.

The most direct example of this kind of comparison is Cypher. When he was inside the wall, he longed for freedom, but when he climbed over the wall, he was surprised that the situation was wrong. Damn it, I want to go back to being a dog.

It was inevitable to have this reaction, because living in Zion is so hard.

Dilapidated, backward, and lack of resources, people live in a limited space, no different from being in prison.

Under the command of the control center, the Nebuchadnezzar docked at the No. 7 port of the dock. Murphys left the ship with the crew and delivered the spaceship to the maintenance personnel.

By the way, the traitor Cypher was also handed over to professionals for interrogation to extract information about the agents.

Russell walked off the spaceship together, and standing next to him was Neo who was gloomy and looking up at the sky, with a bright red slap mark on his face.

Just by looking at the shape of his hand, he knew that Russell did not slap this slap.

A few days ago, Neo accepted Russell's guidance and recognized his own heart.

That's right, he and Trinity had just met each other not long ago, and they didn't even say a few words, so there was no love.

The reason why he cared so much about Trinity,

Different from others, it is purely the long legs of greedy people.

Feel free to be greedy, there is nothing to be ashamed of, take the time to act, and the last word is to win the target.

After figuring out the key, Neo immediately started to take action, but the effect was mediocre. Trinity ignored him, and seemed to have some disgust in it.

Every time Neo happens to be alone with her, or spends half an hour blocking the door for a casual encounter, Trinity decisively walks away, as if Neo has bad luck and will be infected if he runs slowly.

Neo was extremely frustrated, and found Russell, an emotional expert, again, asking for technical guidance.

Russell was very puzzled. It stands to reason that this situation is very small. Humans are visual creatures. A man's first impression of a woman is divided into two types: good figure, good looks, temperament, and ugly.

To put it bluntly, there are always advantages to be found in being beautiful, and if you are not good-looking, you will automatically block the advantages.

It sounds a bit judging by appearance, but it's the same for women. Handsome guys are classified as options for boyfriends and blue-faced confidants. Ugly ones are collectively called 'big brother'.

With Neo's godly appearance, there is no reason to be included in the option of "Big Brother". Russell is very sure of this, because he is the same, and has never had the trouble of "Big Brother".

Russell didn't know why, and he was afraid that his outstanding performance would be too outstanding, suppressing Neo, who had been shining for a while, causing Trinity to empathize with him, and fell in love with him as a potential stock.

Give up, we have no future!

Russell decides to have a heart-to-heart with Trinity, and uses telepathy to spy on her true thoughts.

If it is what he thinks, it must be a quick cut to make her stop daydreaming.

The result was bad, Russell found himself thinking too much, his evaluation in the heart of Trinity was not friendly, his strength was perverted, and he was also...

After all, when the two sides met for the first time, Russell was swaying around on the roof of the building without clothes on, and he basically couldn't wash his clothes.

Russell was both happy and sad, and he answered that sentence with complicated thoughts. I can reject you, but you can't help but like me.

Continuing to pry into Trinity's heart, he finally found out the root cause of the disease. The reason why Trinity was less terrified of Neo was the Prophet.

The Prophet had told Trinity that she would love the Saviour, and she had always taken that to heart.

As a result, the truth came to light. The Prophet was not a beacon to guide human resistance, but a villain.

Of course, Trinity would never believe a word of her words, and even implicated Neo, avoiding her in various ways.

Of course, because Neo is handsome, Trinity is also a bit interesting to him.

That's bad!

Russell was not convinced, obviously he and Neo were equally handsome, but Trinity's evaluation of the two was very different.

Just like you, still want to spread dog food?

Phew, dreaming!

Russell looked serious: "Neo, Trinity likes you very much, but you are soft and decisive, which makes her feel insecure. She likes tough men, you are too soft, go, show your male charm, use tough Poses conquer her!"

Neo seemed to understand, but with Russell's cheering and encouragement, he left excitedly. When he reappeared in front of Russell, he had a slap on his face.

Russell turned a blind eye to Neo's grievances, and made him tough, not so tough.

In broad daylight, he blocked the girl in the corner of the wall, not to mention her hands and feet, but she held hands and dragged her into the room. A slap in the face was considered light.

Russell smiled secretly, and checked Trinity's evaluation of Neo, and found that after the refresh, the favorability remained unchanged, showing no sign of decline.

It's so real, handsome, you can really do whatever you want.

Gritting his teeth, Russell tried to persuade him again: "Neo, it's not enough, just be tougher!"

Neo rolled his eyes. He dared to bet that if he had been tougher, the entire spaceship would have come to beat him up. Probably... No, Russell must have taken the lead.

Seeing that Neo didn't believe it, Russell stopped talking and looked around.

Zion is divided into upper and lower floors. The lower floor is a residential area, inhabited by 250,000 surviving humans. The upper floor is a military fortress, also called a "dock", which is the only port to enter the residential area of ​​Zion. Ordinary people are prohibited from entering this place.

In the dock at this time, besides the Nebuchadnezzar, there are three spaceships docked, two ships to replenish the necessary living supplies, and one to repair the hull damage.

It's a pity to say that Russell regards it as a dilapidated floating ship, which is Zion's main means of transportation and defense force.

Navigate through the post-war ruins, mainly the underground world, under the captain's command to find available resources, rescue the humans in the matrix, and monitor the movements of the robot army.

What's more pitiful is that the robot army has never regarded the floating ship as an opponent. Its main enemy is the mechanical octopus, a maintenance arm of the machine civilization.

After all, these spaceships really suck.

Take the Nebuchadnezzar that Russell is most familiar with as an example. Survivors rummaged through the post-war ruins and pieced together and welded it with equipment from different eras. Many parts are antiques from more than a hundred years ago.

It is no easy task to make this spaceship which is pieced together by Mrs. and Grandpa’s parts to run normally. Therefore, the limited space on the ship does not allow idlers, and every crew member must be proficient in equipment repair and maintenance.

The daily life of the Nebuchadnezzar is basically repairing and driving at the same time, and it may lie down on the spot at any time.

But even so, the Nebuchadnezzar has to return to Zion every other month to recharge, repair damage, replenish logistics, and report work.

For example, this time, the mission of the Nebuchadnezzar is to monitor the direction of the machine army and ensure that Zion is ready for war as soon as possible.

Although the result of knowing and not knowing is the same, the robot is allowed to enter and exit seven times, but superficial work still needs to be done, otherwise Zion Command will have nothing to do except play cards all day long.

Murphys violated the order, did not stick to his post, indulged in the so-called savior of the prophet, and successfully brought back two saviors, so he had to go to the headquarters to report and receive two hours of saliva.

Among other things, if the crime of dereliction of duty is convicted, he will not be able to live a good life in the future.

Morpheus didn't care, proving that Neo is the savior needs to connect the matrix, proving that Russell is much simpler, just give him a hammer and let him knock casually.

"Mr. Russell, do you want to meet the commander with me?" Murphys asked.

Zion's commander is named Locke, who is Murphy's superior leader. It doesn't matter whether Russell meets him or not. The people he should meet are the congressmen.

"No, that guy is your rival in love. If I go there with you, I may be implicated by you, causing him to speak loudly to me..."

Russell waved his hand, for the sake of Commander Locke staying on the front line intact, he would not pass.

"..."

This is a big problem, but when it came out of Russell's mouth, Murphys felt that there was nothing wrong with it.

Several people bid farewell to Murphys. Russell and Neo had just arrived and didn't even have a place to stay. Brother Tank was assigned as a guide to take the two of them to familiarize themselves with the situation in Zion.

Taking the elevator, Neo watched Trinity leave first. Although his body was still in the elevator, he wanted to fly away with him.

"Nio, wipe it quickly, your saliva is about to flow down." Russell reminded him friendly.

Neo hurriedly raised his hand when he heard the words, but instead of drooling, Tank and Dorze laughed.

The elevator stopped on the fourth basement floor, where Brothers Tank lived. Both of them were born in Zion and had no sockets. They had already settled down and had their own families.

Russell and Neo didn't want to disturb their reunion time with their relatives, so they left together to wander in the underground city.

There is no currency system in Zion, and the economy cannot develop. All supply and demand are distributed according to the head. Neo looks at this prison with mixed feelings.

"Russell, what are you doing?"

After recovering, Neo found that Russell didn't say a word for a long time, and he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Under normal circumstances, when Russell speaks, he is digging a hole, making people gnash his teeth with anger, but it is even more terrifying when he does not speak, he is holding back his big move and digging a big hole.
