: You? You're not worthy of my attention.

At dawn on August 16, 3177, the Joyful State was destined to be recorded in history. The floating outer city, spanning 67 square kilometers and covering an area of ​​over 10,000 square kilometers, was almost entirely illuminated by a sea of ​​fire.

A total of forty Legalist heavy industry psionic factories exploded one after another, resulting in the complete annihilation of the entire force.

Truly a tragedy that has caused immense suffering and loss of life.

Another key reason why the embers were continuously and precisely attacked was that the massive number of electronic products that had developed their own will and whose intelligence was awakened by compassionate faces became the eyes of the mechanical head!

Similar to big data, countless electronic devices constantly transmit the location and specific combat strength of the remnants in various regions.

This is the epitome of information warfare.

Affected by the ultimate mystery, especially the hidden dangers left by the Twilight Group, the Ember and the Legalist Heavy Industry were caught off guard, and the front line was almost completely wiped out.

Fortunately, he withdrew a minute early; otherwise, even the Ember Flying Car would have been interfered with by the Compassionate Face, gone out of control, and then left to die.

at the same time.

From the direction of the main city across the artificial shallow sea, the lights tonight are dazzling to the extreme, from four thousand meters to ten thousand meters above the ground, as magnificent as a vast neon forest, as colorful as a sea of ​​stars.

They were all clearly paying close attention to this catastrophe.

Qiao Yuan was on the phone with Yan Baobao when he looked up and saw that the artificial shallow sea had been completely blocked off. There were dozens of large triangular brass machines, each thirty meters in diameter, shining with a faint golden luster in the air.

These triangular machines, linked together by light, activated an energy barrier that covered the entire ocean!

Each machine has a pattern of a sun sinking into an abyss on its surface, representing the Twilight Group.

Compared to Fajia Heavy Industry, which simply uses the four characters "Fajia Heavy Industry" in a precise and mechanized way, the logo of Huanghun Group carries a deeper meaning.

Hu Tu had previously provided him with an analysis.

It seems that the twilight symbol represents all things falling into the abyss, the universe becoming silent, and only the blazing sun remaining eternal!

The very ambitious kind.

There are several other interpretations as well.

On the phone, Yan Baobao kept saying, "Come quickly, Qiao Yuan. You can take the Ember Flying Car directly in. I'm at Huai En Hall, No. 26, Shallow Sea District."

"Okay," Qiao Yuan said, changing his destination.

At that time, Zhou Ye and Fang Ping relaxed their guard, and the children in the orphanage were extremely grateful.

But Qiao Yuan knew very well that the Twilight Group activated the energy barrier not to protect them, but to protect the large amount of data storage facilities under the artificial shallow sea.

Those are all assets of the Twilight Group.

The mechanical head is progressing very slowly. It is already smoking due to continuous attacks from space satellites. According to the future timeline, it will eventually reach the shallow sea.

However, it's already past midnight, and the timeline has been refreshed three times.

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Yuan immediately chose to go to the future to take another look.

[Anchor point: The aftermath of the war.]

[Time: Twenty minutes later.]

Qiao Yuan looked at his future self, who had already met Yan Baobao, but the mechanical head behind him was also very close.

He looked up and was quite surprised. The mechanical head was made of some unknown material and seemed to be constantly consuming steel to repair its wounds.

It was clearly bombed all the way, with smoke billowing everywhere, but it just wouldn't fall.

Especially now that the head is charging at the Twilight Group's shield, it gives him the illusion that Caesar is putting on a show with the Twilight Group.

He quickly looked away and then looked towards the artificial shallow sea, where he saw some artificial islands.

That's one approach.

You can drive there by plane.

However, the air outside the city was already extremely polluted, with thick, black fog forming over the shallow sea.

According to Yan Baobao, impurity filtration agents have become the most sought-after and scarce resource. Due to the explosion, they are no longer available, and the price has soared from 1500 yuan to five or six thousand yuan, and it is still rising.

He subconsciously reached into his pocket and found that he had stockpiled four of them and always carried them with him.

Without lingering, he decisively ran outside the hall, got into the hovercar that had just landed, and headed towards the shallow sea.

This artificial shallow sea stretches for thirty kilometers, and on the opposite shore lies the majestic and vast main city of Silvermoon.

The average altitude of the sea anemone area is 3500 meters, while the artificial shallow sea is located at the highest point, close to 4000 meters.

It just touched the lowest point of the main city.

However, he soon discovered that landing on these artificial islands was prohibited, as they seemed to have already been divided up by the powerful and wealthy, and each island had a large number of bodyguards.

Moreover, the sea area ahead was under a no-fly zone. Simply put, he was stopped after flying only five kilometers and could not go any further.

Qiao Yuan frowned, then turned to look at the towering, two-faced head a kilometer tall behind him, which had indeed created a gap in the pale golden energy barrier.

But this time, the lightning bolt was aimed at the main city of Silvermoon, thirty kilometers away!

Good heavens, Qiao Yuan watched quietly, once again avoiding all danger.

However, this time the mechanical head was not so lucky. It was directly bombed to pieces by the main city's firepower. But the explosion of the mechanical head itself also caused heavy damage to the artificial shallow sea, resulting in many deaths and injuries.

As expected, the people outside the city don't count as people...

Qiao Yuan murmured to himself, and it wasn't until half an hour later in the future timeline that he returned to reality.

He is still 10 kilometers away from the artificial shallow sea, but he has not relaxed.

But Zhou Ye was eager to try and take over the driving: "Alright, I'll do it. You're not a member of the Embers, so you'll definitely have to scan later."

"Screw you! I already said you can enter as long as it's an Ember Flying Vehicle. Did you really think the Twilight Group was being merciful? They just wanted you guys to guard that data warehouse in the shallow sea. You brainless idiots."

Zhou Ye was inexplicably scolded again, and in front of so many orphans and Fang Ping, he said sternly, "Qiao Yuan! You've gone too far!"

"You're not convinced? Keep it to yourself." Qiao Yuan sneered.

"Fuck you! I challenge you to a duel!" Zhou Ye completely erupted, "You little beast, do you dare? Let's have a fair fight when we get off the bus later."

"You? You're not worthy of my attention."

"Hahahaha, I knew you wouldn't dare! I'm now at the first-tier Gene Sublimation Storm Sequence [Overlord], you wouldn't even dare to give me a handicap!"

"Who knows if you, this piece of trash, will try to cheat?" Qiao Yuan said calmly. "We need witnesses."

Upon hearing this, Zhou laughed even more arrogantly: "Hahahaha, a witness? You just want to find your sister, huh? Great, let Yan Baobao watch how I beat you to a pulp, hahahaha!"

Qiao Yuan shook his head directly: "What are you thinking, you piece of trash? It would take your third squad's captain to be here."

"Captain?" Zhou paused slightly, then burst into laughter again. "Afraid I'll go too far? Fine, you really are a little bastard. I'll grant your wish. I'm going to contact the captain right now!"

"Just you wait, kid, hahaha."

Fang Ping remained silent the whole time. Fortunately, everything turned out alright, but neither he nor Zhou Ye noticed the fleeting look of pleasure in Qiao Yuan's eyes.

He was just thinking that with the war in such chaos, it would probably be difficult to find the captain of the third squad for a while. Even if he showed the video to Bao Bao, he might still act desperately this week.

Now that the other party has contacted him, he's already trying very hard to suppress his laughter.

At that moment, the hovercar sped through the Haitang District, gradually approaching the shallow sea, when he received another call from Bao Bao.

"What's wrong?"

"Where are you now? Come quickly to the outside of Hall 30. Grandma Xu was just brought here, she's almost gone. She...she said she wants to see you one last time..."

"What?"

Qiao Yuan's heart sank as he listened, recalling that on the night of the 8th, Grandma Xu had called him specifically to express her concern for his safety.

Tonight...sigh...

Although I just went to the future, it was only twenty minutes later, and I was unaware of this. When I reappeared, a crisis was already looming.

In addition, he turned around and went straight to find a way to resolve the crisis, completely ignoring his future self and Yan Baobao.

"Okay, I'll be right there," he agreed, but the hovercar had already reached its maximum speed and couldn't go any faster.

He could only watch as time ticked by, feeling heavy-hearted and helpless, as he approached the blockade zone little by little. He was scanned by the Twilight Group in the air, entered the pale golden barrier, and slowly descended onto the front square.

Then he ran desperately toward Hall 30, running and running, using all his strength, hoping to get there ahead of time.
