Chapter 1524 Abnormal Source!
"Rumble..."
The violent tremors continued to spread along the floor to his feet, shaking his already aged body. The old man, who was trying his best to operate the system and mobilize as many mechanical soldiers as possible to maintain the front line, almost couldn't stand and fell to the ground.
"John!! How's the situation over there?!"
The voice of my old friend Tianxing came from the headphones filled with noise.
"Hey, it's okay."
John quickly glanced at the screen on the left, and saw that there were ten displays for monitoring various data and surveillance at the beginning of the design. Now there is only one display array that is displaying meaningless data chaos, and sometimes even falls into a white picture. He smiled self-deprecatingly.
"You have been hiding with us old friends until now, but it is you machines who can't stand it first?"
"Zhao. How's the situation over there?"
John raised his head, glanced at the main screen above which had three remaining screens still working, and asked in a deep voice.
"It's OK! It will take some time!"
"But we don't have time! Damn it. What's going on with Zhao Troff? Do you know?"
The next second, silence came from the other end of the communication.
John understood immediately.
"Damn it!! Damn it!! Trov you bastard! You actually walked in front of us!! Bastard! Don't you always say that you are the savior of the United Nations and the savior of mankind?"
In 1958 AD, humans discovered life from an extraterrestrial planet for the first time.
At first, humans just thought that they were not alone in this universe and cheered for the discovery of new life. But the reality is that after 1958, this life form from an extraterrestrial planet spread from Mars to the moon and finally landed on Earth. With its terrifying numbers and lightning-fast offensive, it pushed human civilization to the brink of destruction.
In just a few decades, the number of humans from billions dropped sharply to hundreds of millions and tens of millions, until there were no more humans left on the surface of the earth.
In this horrific catastrophe, the remaining humans fled the earth on spaceships built with all their efforts, embarking on an endless journey of escape.
In the first ten years after escaping from the earth, the remaining humans tried their best and finally escaped from the siege of those monsters and the solar system. Fortunately, they encountered a resource planet in the empty space between galaxies.
After obtaining the support of that resource planet, mankind caught up quickly and continuously utilized all the resources on that planet to rebuild spacecraft that could accommodate a larger population and be better adapted to long-distance space travel, providing strong support for mankind's search for new horizons.
At that time, humans believed from the bottom of their hearts that the disaster was finally over and a new future lay ahead.
Even though the human home planet Earth has fallen, hope still exists.
However, in the second year after the new spaceship, no, or the new space city was completed and set sail, humans who set out again in search of a new world full of hope encountered those monsters once again.
This time, humans believe they have enough power to take revenge on those monsters.
But the result is that the new machines that humans have redesigned and developed in the past decade are so vulnerable.
Under the attack launched by the terrifying number of monsters, the human race was once in danger of collapse.
If the commander at that time had not been decisive enough to abandon the front line and order the attacking troops to fight to the death to cover the evacuation of the space city that carries the hope of mankind, I am afraid that the hope of mankind would have been extinguished.
But what would have changed if I had run away at that time?
The main screen above John's head shook, and then presented to John the scene from the living area of this space city that was about to be destroyed.
The gray-haired soldiers raised their guns with all their might and sniped at the monsters that broke through the armor plates and rushed into the living area. The gunshots, explosions, and even the screams of the monsters were forwarded to John's ears by the radio equipment that was still in working condition.
"Locke, Anil..."
John recognized the soldiers standing behind the bunkers and firing their guns, but he was unable to provide them with any support.
Because the number of those monsters is too large, even though this cosmic city, the last hope of mankind, wandering in the universe, has continuously produced huge numbers of combat robots that far exceed the number of surviving humans in the past, it is unable to make up for the numerical gap between the enemy and us.
Now, all he can do is to leave a last glimmer of hope for mankind when the final moment comes.
However, the galaxy where this cosmic city is now located is a binary star system called Sirius, and there is no ecological planet that can support the reproduction of life.
"Why? Why? Why did we have to fall into such a desperate situation? Even after trying our best and struggling to survive for decades, and even traveling across the universe, we still can't escape the pursuit of those monsters?"
John's unwillingness grew stronger, but his movements became more steady.
He knew that his actions now affected everyone's life.
"boom!!!"
A violent explosion caused the radio equipment to suddenly fail, leaving only the shrill sound.
John endured the discomfort caused by the harsh noise and raised his hand to turn off the audio playback function. His breathing suddenly stagnated.
On the main screen, I saw that the defense line just built by those veterans had been broken.
Those familiar faces were either lying in a pool of blood or torn to pieces by the monsters that rushed into the defense line.
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!!!"
John roared a few times, but he was out of breath due to the decline in his body functions, and even felt dizzy.
"John!! Old man!! Locke and the others are dead!! Our last line of defense has collapsed! Those battle robots can't stop those monsters!!"
Tianxing's voice woke John up from his brief dizziness.
"No, wait, it will be ready soon!!"
Enduring the discomfort brought by the dizziness, John summoned the last bit of strength left in his body and input the final program into the system.
As his fingers, which were so thin that only skin and bones were left, entered the final program instructions on the keyboard at an unimaginable speed, John's expression gradually revealed a strange smile.
"Hahahaha! What the hell!! My fingers are still very flexible! I am old, so what does it matter!! Zhao!!! I have set up the final program! The rest is up to you!!"
"John?!"
There was a sound of surprise from the other end of the line.
"Wait! John!! I, we, we humans seem to have reinforcements!!!"
“John!!”
"John?!"
"John?!!!"
