Chapter 169 That Distant Hope

I never feel that I have anything to do with Silly Baitian. I am neither stupid nor white nor sweet. If I catch someone cheating anyone, even if Xue Ling, who I will never betray, takes me, it will be a burden. Strong enemies always give priority to running instead of fighting.When the surface world was not yet destroyed, I watched the Three Kingdoms with my sisters. If I were Liu Bei, I would not be able to last for so long. After Xuzhou was defeated by Lu Bu, I would be out.What does this have to do with Liu Bei?I think my inherent disaster attribute is quite similar to Liu Bei whoever takes him in will be finished.

After sleeping until dawn, Zheng Zihan got up early and left the room at about five o'clock. When she left, she kissed my forehead lightly. I pretended not to know and continued to sleep. She didn't know if I was really still when she saw me like this. As I fell asleep, I chuckled, put on her tight uniform that looked a lot like the Gestapo, and went out the door. I didn't open my eyes until her sensor was hundreds of meters away.

This point is really a big challenge for me. Since the end of high school, I no longer have the good habit of going to bed early and getting up early. In the surface world where the electricity is collapsing, I have nothing to do at night so I have to go to bed early, but I also save money during the day. After spending a lot of time on electronic products, I came to Yunjian Continent, a magical field where military technology crushed the surface world but civilian technology was crushed by the surface world. I also resumed the habit of sleeping late and waking up late.Speaking of which, the life of people in Yunjian Continent is quite regular, and there is no such behavior as getting up early, and even the army does not need to stay up too late - Belis, the god of metal, seems to dislike fighting in the dark. So far, the metal bird has never fought at night.Going back 300 years, when the Dragon King ruled the Yunjian Continent, the flying dragon troops also did not come out during the day, because there was almost no danger during the daytime in the Yunjian Continent society, and there was no need for the surface world to work day and night against the clock.

It is enough to be ready to guard against the enemy during the period of one hour after the sun rises and one hour before the sun sets.

Thinking of this, I raised my head and looked out the window again. The western sky was still hazy, and I couldn’t see the metal empire [-] kilometers away, but I knew that Belis’s metal lair was quietly floating in the sky at this moment, producing more and more waves. More metal birds.One of the similarities between the God of Metal and the God of Vulcan is pride. They have absolute power and can easily crush the human race, but doing so is too boring, so they give the human race time to develop, and then crush this hope with their own hands.

Did Aegulas block the magic and abilities of the Cloud Continent at that time just to crush this hope?

Blocking magic and abilities... crushing hope... wait a minute, what if Aegulus didn't want to crush hope but to preserve the fire?

I decided to find some things that were covered up in this war. In order to allow myself to think more energetically, I went back to bed and slept until ten o'clock before I went to the restaurant to eat breakfast, although this time is theoretically There was nothing to eat, and important witnesses like me who were called to assist in the investigation were treated to a high standard. After all, if I was in a good mood, I would take out what they wanted.After looking around while eating noodles that looked like spaghetti, I got into an inconspicuous corner, thinking that eating only noodles was too monotonous, so I ordered another drink, and after I was full, I slowly left the restaurant and went straight to the archives. up.

This kind of secret place is not for someone like me whose identity is unclear, but the person in charge of the archives even looked me up and down and let me in and told me that the things inside are not allowed to be taken out. There was a body search, and I happily agreed to her request and entered the secret place to find the answers I wanted. I think this trip to the headquarters of the National Security Bureau will definitely be rewarding.

I didn't know what I was looking for, I just ran around in the ridiculously large database according to my feeling. I stopped in front of a certain cabinet, wrote down its number, and ran to the service desk to ask for this key. This The process was not very smooth. The sister at the service desk refused to let me go and had to accept her request to let her hug me. I didn't know whether to be angry or laugh.

Sure enough, it is a world that relies on the power of cooking. I think this cloud continent will end sooner or later.

The information in the cabinet is more than 100 years old. No one has ever opened this cabinet in a hundred years, and even the keys are rusted, but the things inside make me feel that the Yunjian Continent has not done anything serious in the past hundred years.

This information can completely change the current unfavorable situation of the human race. As long as Belis does not end himself, the human race can withstand the attack of the metal birds.

This is a fairy tale.After humans defeated Aegulas and regained their freedom, the unified human empire was divided into more than 100 small countries. They eliminated most of their weapons and returned their military technology to the level that the Dragon King had just arrived on the mainland hundreds of years ago.However, the Dragon King was defeated and fled, not killed. In order to prevent the Dragon King from making a comeback, a group of far-sighted leaders kept some super weapons and sealed them somewhere in the Cloud Continent.What Qinglian keeps is a weapon called "Kirnofort". According to the document, this weapon has unlimited firepower as long as it does not leave the ground. Presumably it should be a fragment of the power of the earth god Gaia.With this thing, it is much easier to deal with the metal flock of birds, just push it out and cover it with firepower.

So how do you find this thing?The ancient weapon is sleeping somewhere in Qinglian. Who knows whether it is in the occupied area or the Kuomintang-controlled area, whether it is in the north or the south.I continued to look down and found that the key to finding ancient weapons lies in the keys. The keys were held by the first person to keep the ancient weapons. Generally speaking, they have been passed down from generation to generation. Qinglian only recorded the keys of her country’s weapons in the After the fall of the royal family, it was lost, and there is a high probability that it will be owned by the liberals, but it must be done by special people to awaken ancient weapons.Unexpectedly, there were liberals a hundred years ago. No, wait a minute, why do I feel that something is not right?

"Sister Yu really cares about this world."

I put down the information and said with a smile: "After all, this world can be regarded as my second home. Of course I should cherish it. The metal bird always threatens the lives of everyone in this world. Even if we fight against it under the existing technical conditions, it will only Complete defeat, if we have ancient weapons, it will be different, we can end the 300-year metal frenzy, and truly bring a stable and long-term peace."

Zheng Zihan hugged me from behind and let me sit on her lap, raised his hand to caress my warmth, I suppressed the urge to wave her hand away and slap her and kept smiling, just when I couldn't help but slap her She suddenly pushed me away and let me fall to the ground.

"what are you doing?"

"It's too fake. Sister Yu, what I want is you who loves me sincerely, not a you who is oppressed by force and self-hypnotized to accept my behavior."

I got up from the ground, took a deep breath, and slapped her across the face.

"That's right. My elder sister Yu should be like this. I'll tell you how the only woman who doesn't look at my face and treat me like this is so obedient all of a sudden. She really has been patiently hating me." Zheng Zihan, who slapped me, was not angry but looked at me with a smile. I was annoyed by her: "Oh? So Zihan wants the real me, and then let me become what you expect? Is it done? Don’t talk nonsense with me, go find an insider, no, since you’ve seen all this, you should know who the owner of the key is, at least you have some clues. The battle on the front line is getting more and more tense, The number of metal birds is expanding rapidly, and we don't have much time to lose."

"That's right. After all, it's time for a decisive battle with the liberal faction. It would be very bad if we don't find the weapon as soon as possible for the liberal faction to find." Zheng Zihan nodded, just when I thought she could finally focus on finding the weapon. Then she hugged me again, this time she hugged me very politely and didn't do any petty gestures that sisters shouldn't have. I sighed secretly and acquiesced in her hug, but my heart was desolate.

Zheng Zihan, maybe you haven't realized that what you love is not me.In other words, it wasn't me that you loved at first.It's like a simple love between children, one child snatches another child's toy in order to get the attention of another child, but every time the snatch fails, and the failure continues slowly. The child even forgets his original purpose and falls into the competition for the toy In the quagmire, the means of scrambling for toys is regarded as the final goal.

I have always been liked by girls, but Xiaoyun is looking for the lost love in me, Kate sees the black hair of the Dragon King in me, and Bailis is also looking for the part that belongs to another woman in me, only for Xue Spiritually speaking, I am not a substitute for anyone else, but pure Zheng Bingyu, her sister, her lover, and her child.It is also because of this that I will never betray Xue Ling, even if I encounter an irresistible force and lose myself, I will not let myself fall in love with the perpetrator.

If Xue Ling doesn't want me anymore, what will happen to me?Probably...suicide?

I don't know how long it was so quiet, Zheng Zihan let go of the arm around my waist.

"Sister Yu, I'll take you back. The next thing is that I have to do it independently. Bringing Sister Yu will put Sister Yu in danger."

I sighed softly, looking at her weak smile for some reason, I suddenly felt sorry for her.

"Zheng Zihan, promise me one thing."

"what?"

"Don't die."

Zheng Zihan smiled, and gently kissed my forehead: "Sister Yu, do you know that this is the first time you express your concern for me without purpose, I am really... so happy. Don't worry, I won't die, At least I won’t die in this terrible process of searching for ancient weapons, I’m a major general in Yunjian Continent, even if I die, I’ll die on the battlefield.”

I thought for a few seconds and asked softly, "Zihan, tell me, what is life to you?"

"Life." Zheng Zihan said almost without thinking, "It's just a one-time consumable used to defeat the metal god."

My tears flowed down immediately.

Is life just a consumable to defeat the gods?A child younger than me has this awareness, but what am I doing?The annihilation of the surface world, divine punishment, nuclear war, sea of ​​corpses, floods, people around you are lost one by one in the disasters brought by the gods, such hatred, Zheng Bingyu, have you forgotten all?

The goal that had dimmed in my heart lit up again.

I want...to defeat Mirhi and end this war of gods.
