Deng Huailing walked out of the elevator in the command center, and he was the only one left in the car that was still crowded with staff when it came up from the ground floor.The corridor stretches straight forward, leading to the high-level conference room where the leader is. He stepped out of the car with a bag full of baseball bats on his back. The zipper of the bag was half open, and bright blooming roses protruded from it, and the dark fragrance floated.

After a long journey of three and a half days, he finally returned to the command center of East 1.He could have arrived before 10:30, but when the capsule train was traveling to the adjacent West 1 precinct, the traffic system suddenly lost all power, and the train taxied slowly with the help of backup power, stopped at the nearest station and opened the doors.

Even the communication signal disappeared at that moment. The conductor on the platform held up the gasoline lamp, methodically evacuated the disembarked passengers, and led them to the waiting room where light sources, food and water were prepared, and asked them to wait patiently for the power to be restored.But Deng Huailing had already returned home. He was anxious to see Rosie, so he broke away from the crowd and walked east, walking through the West 1 underground city.

He bought this bag of roses when he passed by a flower shop that was still open during his walk.The electricity in the underground city was cut off, and the flower shop hadn’t sold a single flower for three days. Deng Huailing saw the sick and emaciated shop owner with his young daughter, so he bought a room full of dying roses, and comforted them to go home early.

When the power went out, the credits could not be paid, so he rummaged through his pocket like a treasure chest, and handed over the six-carat pigeon eggs that he had plucked from the dead body in an unknown year and month to the shopkeeper.Under the astonished eyes of the shopkeeper, he turned on the flashlight and picked out the best-looking roses and put them in the bag, and asked the other party to give the remaining flowers to passers-by before leaving.

He walked in the dark city with a whole bag of flowers on his back, walked alone through the tunnel between the partition gates of East 1 and West 1, and continued on in the East 1 dungeon.The people around were all guessing where the young man with the flashlight was going. Deng Huailing turned a deaf ear and hurried on, ignoring the fact that the tips of his hair were already soaked with sweat, panting for breath almost suffocating.

He only knows one thing, even the traffic and communication systems are out, Rosie must be in the most difficult time.Although Rosie herself can face Robert's machinations, Deng Huailing knows the feeling of loneliness. Rosie experienced a bloody Christmas ten years ago, and he doesn't want Rosie to experience it again.

A few hours later, he arrived near the East 1 command center, and the grand building that was always brightly lit was also extinguished, like a faint candle that was blown out.He ran anxiously in that direction, wanting to hold Rosie's hand and wrap her in his arms to comfort her.

Just before he stepped into the command center, the power of the entire dungeon was restored suddenly, as if a gift from God, the light illuminated the deep and hopeless darkness.The signal was also re-covered. Deng Huailing slowed down and took out the non-stop ringing communicator. Igor urged him to go back to the branch office and urgently dispatch Yanling's personnel to cooperate with the "skill" to launch a counterattack.

He also didn't want to disturb Rosie's command of the battle at a critical moment, so he could only stay at home and stay busy in the branch office for most of the night.It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning, when the battle situation stabilized and "Skill" had a clear upper hand, that Deng Huailing entrusted Yanling's affairs to Igor, and returned to the command center with the roses in the bag.

Across the corridor, he stood still at the door of the meeting room, and heard the thoughtful voice from the crack of the door. It was Rosie who was presiding over the meeting.He misses Rosie very much, the other party has never left his mind for a moment in the past three days, he always thinks when he is leaning on the train glass, and he will ask Rosie for a deep kiss as compensation to make up for itDays of missing.

Now he and Rosie were only separated by a door, and nothing could stop them from seeing each other.Deng Huailing reached out and grabbed the doorknob. Just as he pushed the door open, he saw Rosie sitting at the end of the long table with a serious look on his face: "Everyone leave the meeting immediately, Piper and Parisa, you two stayTemporarily block the news and don't leak it, so as not to shake the morale of the army."

Rosie's tone did not relax in the slightest, as if the advantage gained on the front line did not reassure him, and a more serious crisis was approaching.Deng Huailing was stunned for a few seconds, then a vague guess appeared in his mind, the movement of pushing the door stopped, and he stood quietly outside the door, looking at the pure white figure through the crack of the door.

The military officers in the west, the new adjudicator in East 5, and Eguchi servant in East 6 all stood up and gave a military salute before leaving the online meeting.The atmosphere in the conference room was colder than ice and snow. The remaining three people were silent for a while, and finally Piper spoke, pointing to the blood-red arrow extending from the main city on the sand table and saying:

"The two million androids are equipped with jet propulsion devices, and they are marching at an extremely fast speed. They will probably arrive at the front line within 36 hours. They did not divert to other jurisdictions, they came for East 1 and East 3. Rosie, we mustDiscuss the countermeasures as soon as possible, the second district has paid a painful price these days to get to this point, and we must not let our efforts go to waste."

"Don't worry, Piper, he already has a strategy in mind." Parisa's emerald green eyes were still as warm as jade, he propped his cheek with his black gloved hand, and looked at Rosie, "You're just trying to convinceWe agree with your strategy, don't we?"

"Yes." Rosie paused after saying this word, confusion and hesitation appeared rarely in her eyes.He didn't seem to want to reveal his plan. To be more precise, he hadn't made up his mind yet, "I let you two stay because I want to entrust the second district to you for the time being.trip."

"What?" Piper immediately stood up and stopped resolutely, "What kind of solution is this? Even if there are only three of us left in the 'surgery', I will not let you go to the main city! Rosie, you forgotWhat kind of disaster has happened to Bloody Christmas, it’s the same moment again, you can’t make the same mistakes again!”

"Piper, I'm not going to surrender," Rosie chuckled softly, "and I'm not talking about peace. I just want to direct the operation myself—you've all heard of the famous 'Spear of the Sea God' operation in history, right?Soldiers are air-dropped into a certain building, and quickly kill everyone inside, as precise as a scalpel. To eliminate the focus of the disease from the root, it is enough to destroy a building."

Piper frowned, seeming to understand his deep meaning, and murmured, "Which building do you want to destroy? Could it be... CyberRose's data storage center?"

"That's right. We can't fight against two million bionics on the frontal battlefield. We can only change our thinking and eradicate the AI Poseidon commanding them from the rear. The data storage center stores the cabinets that make up the AI hardware. As long as we sneak into the main city with explosives, blow up that building, and Poseidon will disappear completely," Rosie said.

"That's right, as long as that AI is removed, no one will dispatch those two million bionics. It is said that these new batch of bionics do not have a brain structure. If they lose the command of Poseidon, they will be like malfunctioning machines."It’s like stopping.” Piper nodded subconsciously, then shook her head vigorously, “But it’s too dangerous, Rosie, you can’t go to the main city yourself!”

Rosie didn't seem to care too much: "It doesn't matter. When I went to rescue Huailing, I sneaked into the municipal center, didn't I come out safely? It's the same this time. As long as the action plan is well developed, Robert can't trap me.".”

"This is completely different!" Parisa, who was still gentle and calm just now, said suddenly, his voice contained strong anger, as if he had changed into a different person, back to the paranoid adjudicator Rosie saw when she first arrived in the second district, "At that time, Robert was not sure whether you would rescue Deng Huailing, and the defense line of the municipal center was not perfect, so you were able to escape unscathed."

He stared at Rosie intently, and said coldly, "But now, we can think of a plan to blow up the data storage center, can't Robert think of it? At this critical moment, you don't think he will set up a bomb near that building."Rosie, you're literally throwing your life away!"

"I know Robert is not that stupid, but I also know that I can always beat him." Rosie's attitude became tough, and she said every word, "We are running out of time, this is the only chance, no one can beat him."You can't stop me from carrying out this plan!"

"What about Deng Huailing?" There was a trace of mockery in Parisa's green eyes, but it seemed to be a lonely self-deprecating, "He hasn't come back from East 3 yet, so don't you care? If you make any mistakes in the main city, have you thought about how he felt when he heard the news?"

"I..." Rosie was speechless for a moment, lowered her head, and blinked blankly.In fact, his initial hesitation was because of Deng Huailing. He promised his lover to cherish his life and accompany him through the peaceful life after the war. Now that the war is coming to an end, how could they give up so easily when they finally got here.

Parisa understands his thoughts too well. He lives in the world without care and care, like a kite that can fall at any time, and the nylon rope that can tie him is Deng Huailing.

Outside the door, Deng Huailing sighed silently, and put away his communicator.While Rosie and the others were discussing, he had already gone to the dark web to find Rolla to find out the ins and outs, and Catherine also quietly sent him relevant information. The situation of the war was really urgent.

If there is no one to deal with the two million bionics, the battle will take a turn for the worse. After 36 hours, the people in the dungeon will be slaughtered bloodily.Deng Huailing didn't hesitate for long, and turned on the communicator to contact Nelson and Kate. Even if he was just the lone wolf-like bounty hunter in the past, he would not sit idly by, let alone now he leads a huge pack of wolves.

Piper's voice sounded again from inside the door, decisive and firm: "Let me go instead. In the past, I was in charge of the goods transaction with the main city. I am familiar with the terrain of the city. I am the most suitable for carrying out this plan. Give me half an hour to callSoldiers, you can go now."

"No, let me go." Parisa argued, "The intelligence agency of East 4 failed to find the warehouse where the bionics were stored in the bustling area. This is my fault. Please allow me to make amends.Destroy the data storage center."

"Don't both of you go, I won't let anyone go." Rosie rebuffed without thinking, "I can't watch the killer's tragedy repeat itself, so you just stay in the dungeon and direct the frontline battle for me.I'll take care of it."

"Your command is indispensable here. The battle situation on the front line is not as simple as blowing up that building. How can Parisa and I maintain the advantage?" Piper's words were meticulous and he showed his full strength in debating, "Since you saidKiller, then I want to ask you, what should you do if you successfully destroy the data storage center but the front line collapses? You don’t want the killer’s sacrifice to be in vain..."

Deng Huailing didn't listen anymore, his communicator was flashing, and the Nelsons quickly replied to his invitation, willing to lead their elite hunters to the main city with him, he couldn't stay here any longer, have to go back to Yanling's office as soon as possible.

He held the doorknob of the conference room and looked at the figure inside the door, his brown eyes full of deep nostalgia.The idea of going in to see Rosie strongly tempted him, but he knew that once he saw Rosie, the other party would not let him go, and he would not be willing to leave the lover he had missed for a long time.

Let's coax Rosie well when I get back.Deng Huailing thought, Rosie would definitely call him furiously to accuse him when she found out about it. She couldn't even keep the vow she made, and maybe she would threaten him to give up by breaking up, but he had reasons to do so.

Just like what Piper said, he didn't want the killer's sacrifice to be in vain... Today's situation is earned by the killer with his life.Do something.Because of this, he promised the doctor to go to the main city to retrieve the killer's heart, and he also agreed to the killer's dying wish to ensure the successful implementation of "The End of the Song".

——There are already too many burdens on his shoulders, no matter what price he pays, he must abide by his promise to these two people, which is regarded as atonement.

Deng Huailing let go, turned and left.The door was closed behind him, and the roses in the bag behind his back were a bit heavy, so he went upstairs and walked into the suite, turned on the light in Rosie's bedroom, took out a large bouquet of roses, put them in a vase filled with water, and sprinkled them on the bright red petals.After drinking some water, gently patted the flowers to form a fairly beautiful shape.

He never forgot the promise to send Rosie a bouquet of different flowers every day. The missing days in the journey can only be made up after the war.At that time, he still had to try to appease the angry Rosie, but they still had a long life to love each other, and a little quarrel was nothing in the remaining decades.

Finally, he opened Rosie's tactical notebook on the table, wrote the words "wait for my return" on a white page, tore off the paper and pressed it on the bottom of the vase.The lights in the suite went out, and the water droplets between the petals fell on the paper and slowly melted away.

P.S. "Spear of the Sea God" is the operation of the SEALs hunting down bin Laden in 2011. Special forces airborne the terrorists who dropped the entire building. For Xiao Luo's era, this is already the history of the last century.
