Chapter 79 End of Night 【Two in One Chapter】

There is no doubt that among the many disasters that have befallen all living beings, "buried alive" is the most terrifying one.

The surrounding "darkness" is tangible.They are like malicious plastic bags, tightly blocking your breath.

And directly above you is the weight that is difficult to overturn by human beings-these weights isolate the interaction between you and the air.

There is no room to move.

There is no element that can sustain life.

The "imagination" and "creativity" that human beings are proud of will become torture tools to torture themselves.In the darkness, "creativity" will construct the situation of "death" predictively.Human beings will imagine that in the area only a few meters away from themselves, someone just walks by like that, but they will never know that there is a tortured soul here...

That's pretty much the way Yuki woke up.

However, he could still hear the voice.

It was crying.

He felt his chest was soft, but his stomach hurt badly—it was caused by being beaten.

At the last moment when the corridor collapsed, Xiang Shan protected the two children under his body, and then put his arms on the ground, forming a triangular structure with the inner wall of the corridor and the ground, opening up a space.

Yuki passed out because he was placed on the ground and his head hit the bouncing stones from the ground.

But the little girl who used him as a buffer was fine.

The girl seemed to be exhausted from crying.The intense fear made her almost faint.Even so, she was kicking objects in front of her.

Hearing the metallic sound of "bang bang", Yuki realized that it was his master's outer armor.

Yuki hurriedly held down the girl—he wasn't worried about his master.Master is wearing armor that cannot be cut by ordinary industrial machinery, so what is there to worry about?

This little girl has been under such stress, it is easy to hurt herself.

Yuki felt that the girl's heart was beating so fast.

This speed is not what the natural heart can bear.

[Nod when you wake up, use the visualization method I taught to visualize a piece of darkness, and suppress the activity of your brain] Xiang Shan's message directly appeared in Yuki's mind; [Oxygen is limited here, and this little girl has the most body parts , Oxygen is given priority to her]

On the premise that the energy is not used up, Xiang Shan hardly needs oxygen.Most of Yuki's internal organs, hands and feet are prosthetics, and his oxygen demand is relatively low.But that little girl's internal organs were natural, and her oxygen consumption was the largest among the three.

Xiang Shan also noticed that Yuki had woken up.He whispered: "Hold on for a while longer. Now the satellite patrols are very intense, so don't leave easily, at least hold on for an hour..."

However, it can't last too long.

After a while, the government will definitely come over and recycle the rubbish that has been knocked down.

Most of the materials that are convenient for recycling in space have already been recycled.But the remaining materials are also resources—at least it is easier than obtaining them from ores or enriching them from the soil.

Furthermore, the government will definitely come to see if the target bombed by the space-based kinetic energy weapon is dead or not.

The only good news is that according to Xiang Shan’s impression from the welfare officer, the asylum seekers have been in a state of “lack of human resources”—the Dyson principle prohibits individuals from being loyal to any impersonal things, and asylum seekers have no legal right to Direct orders to the people, so they may not necessarily arrive at the first time.

But be sure to leave before dawn.

Xiang Shan thought about it.

The little girl started to fidget again.Xiang Shan is really annoying - he doesn't like children at all.

But he still sighed, tried his best to lower his head, and rubbed his head against the girl's face: "Don't be afraid...don't be afraid..."

The girl was a little confused.The Greenwoods thought of her only as a toy, and the naturals in captivity would not think of teaching her to talk.Even if the "language pack" is burned into a chip and inserted into her brain, she still doesn't know how to use this knowledge and how to build a brain circuit.

However, there is only one sentence...

"Don't be afraid."

In the darkness, this sentence was repeated in her ears by many people.

"Don't be afraid."

By coincidence, the little girl spoke, crying, "Don't be afraid...don't...be afraid...don't be afraid..."

She spoke the first sentence in her life.

Not "mum" or "dad"—she never used those words.

"Don't be afraid."

"Well, don't be afraid." Xiang Shan nodded, not knowing this.

After a while, the little girl finally calmed down.

Xiangshan gradually increased the power of Yuki's prosthetic body.

"Okay, apprentice. Listen up." Xiang Shan whispered: "The next thing may be related to the lives of the three of us. Now, you dig soil from behind me and fill it under yourself. Be quick... ..."

Yuki nodded with difficulty, then stretched out his hand, passed under the mountain rib, and used his hands to dig out the soil under the mountain rib.

Due to the movement caused by those space-based kinetic energy weapons landing, the surrounding soil is mostly soft.Occasional stones are not a big problem.Yuki's hands and feet were also replaced with minion-level warrior prosthetic bodies before entering Dazhai, so he didn't have to worry about getting injured.

Xiang Shan had only one hand left at this moment.He only had half an arm left on one side, and the hand on the other side was overheated due to the previous high-speed continuous beating, and its function was damaged.If he digs the soil himself, he won't be able to support this small space.

According to Xiang Shan's instructions, Yuki dug soil from the side of Xiang Shan's ribs, waist, and neck—this was the ground within his reach.

The soil rustled down like running water.Unable to see in the dark, Yuki could not gauge the amount of soil.

Several times, he thought he was going to be buried alive.

After the soil was cleared to a certain extent, Xiang Shan used his waist, abdomen and legs to make an upward arch, separated and compacted the soil above, and raised it two feet higher.And Yuki was almost buried for real.He struggled to get out of the floating dirt and repeated the process.

The three of them slowly floated up like a bubble in the mud.

Finally, after a few hours, Xiang Shan tried his best to climb up, but he didn't feel the weight of the mountain, but felt his body was empty.

Yuki breathed a mouthful of extremely oxygen-rich air.

The three finally came to the ground.

Yuki looked around, completely dumbfounded.

The surrounding terrain has completely changed.With the Dazhai of the Z organization as the core, within a radius of several hundred meters, all the hills and huge rocks disappeared.

Only one pothole remained.

A large crater formed by superimposing many circular pits.

At the bottom of the pit, a pool of water was gushing out of the ground.This is the underground river.

If the amount of evaporation is not too large, it may look like a small lake here.

Everything about Organization Z is gone.

Xiang Shan looked at the sky.There are still countless satellites moving on it.

It's not entirely safe to say here.

However, at least there was no sign of a space-based kinetic energy weapon hitting it.

Xiang Shan breathed a sigh of relief and fell to the ground.

During the high-intensity exercise just now, his prosthetic leg was completely useless.The power system of the torso was also overheated, and many problems occurred.

However, at least he survived.

"Huh...haha... I finally remembered why martial arts are not suitable for torturing the weak." Xiang Shan sighed: "There are too many ways for the strong to attack the weak. It is more cost-effective than martial arts. And a lot more."

"Lots of guns" are more useful than most martial arts for slaughtering the defenseless.

No matter how much resources the Z organization accumulates in Dazhai, space-based kinetic energy weapons can’t match—and this kinetic energy weapon bombing is equivalent to cleaning up the debris of satellite orbits above, just “taking out the garbage”.

"Master?" Yuki immediately assumed the attitude of "listening to Master's teaching".

"Drag Master to the donkey first. Before daytime." Xiang Shan sighed: "Also, check the pocket under your neckline. I should have slipped a hard drive into it just now. If If you lose it, I will expel you from the division."

"Ah?" Yuki turned pale with shock, "You didn't say that before!"

"Don't talk nonsense, check to see if it's still there, and then pull."

Fortunately, the hard drive is still there.So, Yuki put the little girl who was about to fall asleep on Xiang Shan's chest, then twisted his clothes into cloth strips, tied Xiang Shan's hand, and dragged Xiang Shan forward like this.

Looking at the starry sky, Xiang Shan said, "Humanity's 'weapons' have always been in a state of 'overwhelming lethality'. For 'killing', a knife is enough. All thermal weapons are 'overwhelming in lethality'. Let's turn it into a prosthetic body, most of the prosthetic bodies can't resist conventional thermal weapons, let alone the current situation - tell me, to what extent can you practice martial arts to ensure that you can survive the supersaturated bombing of space-based? And it's the cheapest kind of weapon out there. If they put a self-powered nuclear weapon, tsk tsk."

Yuki nodded while pulling hard: "Yeah, martial arts... really good! It's useless!"

"That's right. The cost of a supersonic warrior prosthetic body can buy an entire formation of supersonic drones." Xiang Shan said, "So, the side with the upper hand in resources will definitely not choose martial arts. something as a routine, right?"

"Yes!"

"Actually, historically, the side with the disadvantaged resources will place its hope in the 'elite fighters'. History has proved this point countless times." Xiang Shan thought: "Well, let me think about it...the other side of the Pacific Ocean , about 2000 years ago? At that time, it was probably in the "wasteland era" of ancient society, when technology, organization, and culture were all disintegrating and regressing. At that time, The huge empire was split into three kingdoms. One of them was called 'Shu Han'. If you look through the historical stories, you will realize that they...the style of painting is different from the whole era, and they follow the classical The moral kind—at least the kind whose bottom line is a bit higher than the others."

"If you are familiar with the story, you will find that in their records, they often win battles, but if they win, they will perish-this is the consequence of elite soldiers' tactics. Because it takes a lot of time for an elite soldier and a brave general to grow up. For a long time, it takes a long time to cultivate and replenish after one death. But its enemy can be ten trained ordinary soldiers in exchange for the life of this one person. For elite soldiers tactics, "a small victory is a defeat."

The tactics of elite soldiers must always be victorious and victorious until the final victory.If it's just a small victory without a very high exchange ratio, then winning is almost the same as losing.And a big defeat is enough to determine the final fate of these elite soldiers.

In fact, Wuhou, the ruler of the Kingdom of Shuhan and one of the "Ten Philosophers of the Wu Temple", also pointed out this problem in his famous book handed down-that is, "these are all the elites of the Quartet that have been entangled within decades, and they are not If the property of a state is over several years, it will lose two-thirds. How can we plan for the enemy? This minister has not understood five things", "It is not as good as the current plan, and if you want to use the land of a state to fight against the bandits for a long time, this There are six things that I haven't solved yet."

National strength, or the amount of "resources", is by no means reversible by the "elite".

The military thinking of human beings for thousands of years has always been biased towards "those who control many resources".It is the "Sword of the Son of Heaven" of the strong.

And cyber martial arts is the "sword of common people".It will always be the sword of the common people, because from the beginning of its design, it is more inclined to the side with "less resources".

People who have mastered a lot of resources want to use this method to kill the enemy, that is stupid.

Yuki was a little discouraged.He stopped, rested his hands and feet that had been working hard just now, and asked at the same time: "Then we knights will never have hope?"

"Not at all, we actually have another advantage - consumption. The consumption of resources on both sides is also asymmetrical?"

"what?"

"The rubbish that fell down just now were originally satellites. It would take a lot of money to send a satellite from the surface of the moon to the earth's orbit. This is just a space-based kinetic energy weapon." Xiang Shan gestured to himself and his body with his head The little girl said: "And look, all the expenses they spent just now didn't have the desired effect, did they?"

A huge army must mean huge consumption.

And saturated weapons mean greater consumption.

You must know that even in the modern army that places great emphasis on "sharpshooters", the vast majority of bullets are used for "fire suppression".It often takes thousands of bullets to kill an enemy.

Yes, this is still "lethal spillover".In fact, most of the firepower consumed in the war has not been applied to the enemy.

And the acme of this line of development should be at the beginning of the 21st century.

At that time, the "braves" in Central Asia and West Asia spent a few dollars to set up a tent as a false target, and their modern enemies often used missiles worth hundreds of thousands of dollars to hit them.

And these "braves" who seem to live in the Middle Ages have a weekly salary of only a few dollars, which is far less than the hourly salary of their enemies.

Such a terrifying exchange ratio would naturally make the superpowers at that time feel overwhelmed-not that they couldn't afford the money, but that it wasn't worth it at all.

"'It's not worth it'—this is the way knights win." Xiang Shan looked at the starry sky and said with a smile: "Making a holy show in the industrial area prevents them from making up their minds to destroy the knights and their precious production equipment. Hide yourself, let Every single action they make is in vain, and all their resources are thrown into the empty space. Also, they use their absolute individual advantage to accumulate advantages little by little."

Yuki gritted his teeth.

He seemed to realize something.

In this idea, the only thing not considered is...

The value of life.

If life is priceless, then it is a loss to exchange one life for any resource exchange ratio.

Xiang Shan nodded: "Yes, this thing is designed for people who have nowhere to go and only have one life left - of course, our chivalry and morality also contain many other things. For example, don't want to Following the concept of 'knowledge openness', it is easy to be eliminated. Its most fundamental design is just like this."

"Those who are desperate, willing to gamble with their lives, and willing to share everything with like-minded people, can join the battle."

Having said that, Xiang Shan turned his eyes away from the stars and looked at Yuki: "Little devil, the martial arts I designed are just this kind of thing. You understand now, your mother thinks you shouldn't be a knight, it's right .”

Yuki's lips twitched.

"How about it, regret it? It's too late to quit now."

Without saying a word, Yuki turned around and continued to drag Xiangshan forward.

"What's wrong? No answer?"

Yuki said sullenly: "I know...Master, you have good intentions. But! Me! Not yet! No! Revenge!"

He exerted himself as if to vent.

"I want! To this world! Revenge!"

Xiang Shan smiled.

Not bad.

He continued to look at the sky.

"Of course, you don't have to be too disappointed. 'Chivalry' and 'martial arts', compared to 'resources', although they have thousands of weaknesses, they also have general strengths. When we designed it, it was difficult to be eliminated. No matter what No matter how many times you fail, there will always be a little seed left..."

"A long, long time ago, I felt that if people in the world could perform their duties and do their jobs well, the world would naturally be better. Just like me, me, and my friends, solved the problem of human beings eating , solved the problem of human education. We thought at the time that we are scholars, so we should do our job well and solve the technical problems that plague human beings, and then there will be other people... people from all walks of life and all kinds of people. Rise up and make the world a better place.”

"Innocence... Really naive..."

Xiang Shan said so.

After calming down, he repeatedly examined himself in memory, and then came to this conclusion.

It seems that after that period of memory, I experienced a long time and had a completely different experience.

Yuki stopped suddenly.

"Master, don't you remember the past?"

Xiang Shan scolded with a smile: "As a teacher, I suddenly remembered, can't I?"

"Wait, master, you are a nobleman? Aren't you a chivalrous man?" Yuki was shocked.

"Tch, what are you making all the fuss about?" Xiang Shan shook his head: "In ancient times, the ancestors of many knight-errants came from aristocratic lords. A person cannot decide his own origin, but he can decide the path he will take in the future. What you have to learn There are many more, brat."

Yuki breathed a sigh of relief, and then his eyes lit up: "Master, since you have recovered your memory, you must know a lot of things, right? You also know things in ancient times? What about your past things?"

"That's a very, very long story." Xiang Shan glanced sideways at his disciple, "Didn't tell you to stop. Keep pulling!"

While pulling, Yuki said: "Master! Tell me! You! In the past! Let's do it!"

It was several hours before they reached the donkey.

When the east was slightly pale, the "donkey" started, and then moved forward all the way.

The man-made stars in the sky also melted into the morning colors.
