Outside the command room is a dark corridor. The killer led the officers out in a file, walking towards the end with guns in hand.

There is a green light for the emergency exit at the end of the corridor, where there are stairs behind the doors connecting the floors.The android army had advanced to their upper floor, and there were dull footsteps across the floor, as well as the gunshots they were tired of hearing.On thousands of channels tonight, the sound of gunfire was like the white noise of rustling rain, never stopping.

The killer signaled the officers around him to disperse in a tactical formation and hide behind the bunker. He also crouched down behind a door and waited against the wall.This is the lowest floor of the military base. Behind the doors on both sides of the corridor is a labyrinth of intricate ventilation ducts. The entire floor is equipped with a large-scale exhaust fan unit. The rumbling sound of the fan blades is like the undulation of the tide.

He pressed the detonation button before walking out of the command room. In fifteen minutes, the military base of East 5 would be blown up, along with the ventilation ducts. After that, East 5 could only get fresh air from the adjacent jurisdiction.

This kind of loss is not unacceptable, but if all the new bases in the second district are destroyed like this, then people can only suffocate to death underground.

"The enemy is at 12 o'clock, 100 meters away from us. Assaulters are ready, please ask for instructions." The officer hiding behind the front bunker naturally assumed the position of assaulter and communicator, and reported on the channelto the enemy's position.

Everyone silently took off the epaulets and put them on the ground.No matter how high the military rank was in the past, at this moment, they are just an ordinary team, the last team standing firm on the military base, the last dark breakwater when the tsunami hits.

Quiet voices sounded in the channel: "The sniper is in place." "The grenadier is in place."

Since they chose to stay, no one would flee in despair.The killer also took off his epaulettes and threw them away. He watched the adjudicator epaulets, which displayed the highest glory, roll away, and smiled softly.

In fact, he has never cared about these external things for so many years. If Rosie is a pure idealist, then he is a pure... hater.He has always been the Ettore who deeply hates the powerful, the violent child in the slums, running barefoot at night in the main city, slitting the throats of one enemy after another.

Now, he finally doesn't have to run away anymore.

"Attack." The killer ordered in a deep voice in the channel.He had already heard the sound of the door of the emergency passage being pushed open, and the sound of thousands of footsteps echoed on the floor they were on. With the help of infrared vision, the combat bionics precisely located the bunker where they were hiding, and the formation spread out, ready to go one by one.smash.

The gunshots are no longer white noise in the background, but blow like a very oppressive storm, making every human being in it feel the illusion that their souls are hammered.The bionics held their guns firmly, squeezed the trigger and poured bullets at them. The white smoke from the muzzle of the grenade launcher filled the entire corridor, the walls were smashed by the grenades, and gravel and dust fell down..

Several officers behind the wall were hit in the internal organs by shrapnel and were killed on the spot. Some of them were shot in the head by stray bullets when they leaned forward to attack, and the channel gradually became quiet.It is impossible for more than a dozen human beings to survive the bombardment of this magnitude of firepower. Human lives here are like dewdrops under the scorching sun. After staying for a while, they evaporate without a trace.

The killer rolled and jumped out from behind the door where he was hiding, and moved towards the door on the opposite side of the corridor. For a moment in the air, he raised the gun with his left hand and shot at the bionic in front of him.shoot like.

The bionic man's bullets followed like a shadow, and one passed through his bun, and his long red curly hair fluttered and spread out.The killer landed inside the door, turned his head sharply, and flew out with another scalpel, stabbing the forehead of the bionic man who intended to barge in.The android fell straight down, but countless combat androids rushed in over the corpse, pointing their guns at the killer's head.

The killer wanted to resist for a few more minutes, but he had already raised the rifle in his hand, but saw many pairs of scarlet eyes, and dozens of bionics with the trident logo in their eyes surrounded him.Behind him is the ventilation system of East No. 5. The huge fan blades are spinning at the mouth of the pipe, blocking the way out, and he has no way to escape.

"It's really harder than a fly." The killer tilted his head with a smile, took off the rifle and the sling, and threw it on the ground, "Forget it, he will die anyway, no matter how he dies."

All the dozens of officers died, and he was the only one left in the team.In this huge military base, there are usually teams of soldiers coming and going on every floor, but now he is the only living creature, and even the echo of his words is slightly desolate.

The leading bionic man stepped forward, approached his face expressionlessly, and looked at him carefully."What are you doing?" The killer didn't want to do anything anymore. Anyway, if he killed one, there would be a huge crowd. It's better to wait where he is, and wait for the base to explode. "Even if I'm good-looking, there's no need to watch it for so long, right?"

"It's impossible to confirm whether it's the real East 5 adjudicator just by its appearance," the commanding bionic man said mechanically, "a physical inspection is required, and after the inspection is completed, samples will be taken back to the main city."

"What is unconfirmable? I am the famous Ettore Schiffer, if you can change your name or sit or change your surname...fuck..."

Suddenly there was a sharp pain in the abdomen, and the bionic man was directed to insert the dagger into the killer's side, and spun the handle violently, blood flowed out along the blood groove.

The sound of flesh and blood churning sounded, and the killer vomited a mouthful of blood in pain, reflexively wanting to raise the scalpel and pierce the brain of this lifeless bionic.But even in this situation, he was still able to think. He suddenly thought of something, so he pretended he couldn't bear the pain and knelt down on the ground, let go of his fingers, and the scalpel jingled and fell to the ground.

The so-called "physical test" is to cut open his internal organs to confirm that he is a real human being, not a killer pretended by a puppet. If he does not cooperate with the other party's test and let Robert see with his own eyes that he is a flesh and blood person, he will be eliminated.Can't get rid of the other party's suspicion.

He knew that Robert must be watching him from behind Poseidon's eyes. Robert wanted to confirm whether this was a fake trap or a real failure. After all, the mayor had dealt with him for many years and knew that he was a sinisterSly red fox.

But Mayor Dylan, you would never figure it out. This is a real trap, right?The killer laughed wantonly in his heart, do you think a cold person like me would not sacrifice his life?Although I am selfish by nature, so selfish that I can compare with you, I still have faith. This is the difference between you and me!

Commanding the bionic man's blade to rise suddenly, after checking his abdomen, it went all the way up, stopped at the position of the third rib in the left chest, and began to dig down.The blood was like bright oil paint, dripping all over the ground. This time the killer really couldn't bear the pain, and tremblingly wanted to touch the pistol, but the other bionics immediately snatched his gun, and took away everything from his body.weapons.

Seeing that he was showing signs of struggling, they pressed a pressure syringe on his neck and gave him a shot of anesthesia.The medicine spread quickly, and he couldn't feel the pain anymore. He just vaguely felt that someone was cutting the blood vessels around his heart.Another bionic man brought a jar containing formalin, and seemed to obey Robert's order to dig out his heart and bring it back to the main city as a trophy.

That's it, that's it... There was an imperceptible smile on the corner of the killer's lips, as if he understood something.He didn't care about how his body would be divided, the worst would be death, what he cared about was the weakness revealed by Robert.The opponent has been unable to attack for a long time and is under great pressure. He urgently needs a victory and a spoil to prove his wisdom and deter those who try to overthrow the regime.

Then take his heart back, the more Robert vents his anger like this, the more superstitious he will believe that this so-called victory is the result of a wise decision; now it's not him and Rosie who coax each other into believing it, but Robert himself is trying to deceive himself.It's a relief that his organs are functioning a bit.

The killer's field of vision slowly rotated, the anesthetic made him dizzy, and the deep drowsiness enveloped him like a tide.In a daze, the feeling of the blade stirring in his body reminded him of the water basin he saw in the clinic when he was a child. In the light red bloody water, countless scalpels were floating and turning.Under the moonlight, the boy's intestines were flowing on the floor. This was the beginning of his evil and the end of his life.

He knew very well that he was going to die, because fragments of memory were rushing towards him frantically.His brain was almost overloaded, and a series of scenes flashed before his eyes, emitting a dazzling white light, like a damaged monitor.

He saw the silver-haired kid crawling out of the sea of blood and corpses, saw Rosie and him standing on the hills of District Two, yelling, childishly competing to see who could throw the blade farther.I also saw that their ideas diverged for the first time. They slapped the table to debate at the eleventh meeting, wishing to pull each other's hair, and rushed to bandage each other's wounds after the battle, just to secretly sprinkle salt on the surface of the gauze.

At that time, they were still young and energetic. They had experienced many times of extremely tragic battles and survived side by side. They thought that this would be the case every time in the future.This time, however, Rosie had to go on alone.

The killer slowly closed his eyes, and there were more memory fragments about the doctor, all scenes full of formalin smell without exception.In the clinic of the underground black market, they do experiments, cook and have sex, cross-legged in front of the dead body to eat fried meatballs made by the killer, cook noodles in the doctor's beaker, and talk tacitly to each other about the transformation of sex androids,Finally rolled into bed for the first time.

There are so many similar scattered fragments that we can't go back and trace them back.Too many, the killer thought helplessly, that boring man named Coyne had left too many traces in his memory, and he never liked such a close relationship.

But...why does he want to stay in this world for a while longer?Why did he want to touch the doctor's face again and hear him say "I love you"?

At this moment he thought of Kana Tsukino's wet eyes from crying for no reason.That day he said to the rebellious girl, "There is no one in the world who is not worthy of being loved", which touched her heart.It is only now that he understands why he can easily play with him in the palm of his hand——

Because Kana Tsukino was once Ettore.Survive without dignity in the city, as humble as a dog, as indifferent as a god, and at the same time, almost desperately begging for love.

He knew her like he knew his own weaknesses.Love, for people like them, is a potent poison that destroys everything... but it is also the final salvation.

Instruct the android to stand up and put the heart in the formalin jar.The heart was still beating slightly, contracting and expanding stubbornly, refusing to stop, causing the solution in the jar to splash out.

At this time, the commanding bionic man discovered an unusual thing, a faint smile suddenly appeared on the face of the human corpse, which did not exist a few seconds ago.He couldn't analyze that emotion, it wasn't malice, it wasn't insane madness, it didn't seem to belong to the category of pain.

The bionic people looked at each other silently, and communicated their doubts in the same neural network.Although they had a dialogue between bionic humans, it was more like the collection and exchange of information in essence, and it only took a short moment to complete:

"It's very strange. This human being had his heart cut out. He should have lost consciousness long ago. How can he still be smiling?"

"He did lose consciousness, but his brain is not completely dead. According to the biological structure of human beings, in a short period of time, he can react subtly to the light, sound and smell in the environment, which is something that bionics cannot do."of."

"Changes? But the light and sound in the environment have not changed significantly. What kind of changes will make him laugh?"

"Maybe it's the smell. Commander, did you spill a few drops of formalin just now?"

They discussed and got up to leave. The red-haired adjudicator behind him was lying on his side in a pool of blood, smiling.A deep red hole was dug out in his chest, his ribs were cut off, revealing a white section of the bone, and there was a hollow where the heart was.Near the tip of the nose close to the ground, a few drops of transparent solution were splashed, exuding the smell of a token of love given by the doctor back then.

It's like a girl who strikes a match on a winter night and creates fantasy dreams for herself. As long as she gets the short-term warmth when she is dying, she is the happiest person in the world.
