The majesty is shattered, the eternity is failing.
The veil of mystery burned in the firelight.
The glory is passing.
The man-made sky collapses.
Bronze alloy falls.
There was a loud rumbling sound, like the anger of God, shaking the sky.
The dirge of doom plays in the dusk.
Miracle fell.
"The floating city is going to fall!"
The sound of exclamation broke the silence of Central City.
After experiencing a long period of silence caused by the shock, people came back to their senses and took a deep breath.
This incident was too shocking for residents who were born and raised in Central City.
So much so that even if they saw it with their own eyes, they still couldn't believe it and thought they might be in a dream.
"Boom..."
The bottom of a large piece of bronze alloy was broken and separated from the original part.
Under the golden sunset.
The alloy began to fall rapidly.
People saw the huge pusher that had been hidden by complex alloy lines.
Hundreds of pushers... are just the tip of the exposed iceberg.
The black jets looked like strange eyes.
Some are still spraying blazing fireworks, and some have been completely extinguished.
And more and more propellers are extinguished, like street lights dimming one after another before dawn.
The floating city didn't know how to cover up the sound of these propellers.
Therefore, some Central City residents believe that the city's ability to float in the sky is a manifestation of a miracle.
The facts speak for themselves.
All miracles are man-made.
It's falling.
Falling slowly…
"If you smash it down... there are many people in that shadow. Do these big guys not care about the safety of civilians when they fight?"
"They have already moved. Yesterday I saw them dragging their families to the development area in District 8."
"We're also moving this morning."
Just in the 8th District of Central City.
Many people who had just moved there walked out of their new homes.
The fear in their hearts was completely proportional to the shock.
Yesterday, the people at the secret door informed them that the floating city might fall. In fact, many people did not believe it.
That city has been high up in the sky for so long that everyone in Central City thought it would last forever.
The main reason they moved away was because of... money.
The money given by Miss Xia was too much.
"It actually... really fell down."
The last thing I'm afraid of is the group of people who are still unwilling to move.
They were knocked unconscious and carried out.
The people at the secret door were pretty good, and they moved out all the valuable things in their homes, such as electrical appliances and bankbooks.
Just like that, I felt a pain in the back of my head and my vision went dark.
When I woke up again, I had already arrived at my new home, and all the old furniture had been moved here.
The first thing many people say after waking up is: This new home is so beautiful.
…
The floating city at dusk.
This was supposed to be a peaceful day.
People get off work early and enjoy the leisurely life brought by high benefits, and all extra work is handed over to robots.
The greatest pleasure of the residents of these floating cities these days is just to read the news from the lower world, listen to people talk about the tragic situation of Western cities, and then sigh a few words that the city in the sky is comfortable.
But now they are out of the house.
There was a power outage throughout the city.
Various flying tools were inexplicably disturbed and began to run amok out of control.
Even the four Eyes of God between the two canopies began to derail.
Thousands of rioting mechanical instruments smashed into two layers of canopy, and huge canopy modules fell from the sky and landed on the ground of the floating city.
"What's going on here?"
The proud residents of the floating city suddenly began to panic.
Because they felt the tremors and shaking of the earth.
This city is like a dying patient, wailing hoarsely, and the pain is sucking out its blood and spinal cord bit by bit, making it unable to bear such a huge weight.
"The call came, it shouldn't be anything serious."
"But...but why do I feel weightless?"
"I have it too."
The city's backup power was activated.
The street lights and floating buildings began to light up.
Light brings hope.
But many residents of the floating city have no sense of peace of mind at all.
They felt very uneasy, as there had not been such a change in decades.
I don't know whether it was the change in air pressure or some other reason, but many people felt a little uncomfortable, and the thumping heart in the chest was beating harder and harder.
"The city in the sky is falling!"
Finally someone shouted this sentence.
They don't want to admit it.
But I have to admit it.
The strong feeling of weightlessness is more clear than when taking the elevator on weekdays.
"No!"
Someone was shouting in pain.
"How can I live with those humble reptiles from the lower world!"
"It is an area full of filth. My pure soul will be polluted by the filth of the lower world."
This sentence should be filled with arrogance.
But now I'm full of panic.
Many residents of the floating city are unwilling to face the world below. In fact, they are not only arrogant, but also fearful.
Afraid of losing his status as a master, afraid of those eyes that once looked up to him, but now they look down upon him.
"Don't panic, everyone. I believe that the parliament will definitely solve this accident. We will definitely not be reduced to living in the lower world."
"Yes, everyone believes in the parliament."
Many people began to comfort others.
Maybe it's to comfort myself.
In fact, the old guys in the parliament are now confused.
They sat in wheelchairs and came to the gate of the Parliament Building.
From this floating city or even the entrance to the tallest building in the world, they could clearly see the entire city.
The sky shattered and the earth collapsed.
Huge cracks spread on the ground of the city, as if some monster was roaring and raging underground.
The destructive force is like a volcano erupting, unstoppable.
Those floating buildings are okay.
As for the buildings on the ground, most of them are now rickety and shapeless. Some of them just sit on the cracks and are divided into two. Many of them have sunk into the ground.
"It's those things that Xia Tian is leaving behind." said an old guy.
"His accomplice back then?"
"It should be his daughter Xia Chuluo... I went to Mowu City this time and heard that his daughter is also quite outstanding, young and promising. At that time, Xiao Luo wanted to visit, but they said that Xia Chuluo suffered a serious injury while chasing criminals. He was seriously injured and it was inconvenient to see guests. It seems now that Xiao Luo was deceived," Gong Liangyu said.
Xia Chuluo's trick of pretending to be someone's identity is actually not very clever.
Many people have used it.
But as luck would have it, she was actually injured.
The hospital has a certificate, and the Executive Board also has relevant materials, so they cannot be faked.
Lu Wen also occasionally takes her bionic body out for a couple of walks.
Many people never imagined that this girl would endure the pain and go all the way to Central City.
"But...does that little girl think that this can bring Tianzhi City to its knees?" An old guy smiled and shook his head.
"Just fall down and go up again. Maybe we have to thank that little girl. This time, many useless people who are just waiting to die have a sense of crisis."
"A bit younger, not as old as her father."
"Fortunately, it's not the second summer."
After being stunned for a few minutes, these old guys all came to their senses and understood who had done it.
The only thing I still can't figure out now is maybe why this girl waited until now to take action.
So they ordered someone to investigate.
The information was quickly sent over.
"Not long ago, Luo Ruyan from Mowu City escaped to Central City and posted recruitment information on the website to form a team..."
"Luo Ruyan?"
"The leader who was taking action against Xia Tian at that time."
Things have been going on for too long. These old guys are getting older and their memories are not very good. They have almost forgotten what happened back then.
In the decades since the Floating City took off, it has faced countless enemies.
Xia Zheng is just one of them.
The dead people are not worth taking these old guys to heart, but the impression that Xia Tian is giving them is really too deep, so they still have some impression.
As for those people who had taken over their mission and were attacking Xia Tian, they didn't remember clearly.
"Luo Ruyan died just two weeks ago. He died in a shop along the street in Central City. One arm was blown off. It is speculated that it was a sniper..."
"At the beginning, twenty-one people were attacked in Xia Tian. Fourteen people were still alive two weeks ago. These fourteen people are currently either dead or missing. There are only a few days in between."
This is all the information available.
Xia Chuluo's itinerary was hidden by Fatty Jiang, and the Floating City could not find out.
So these old guys don't know that Xia Chuluo has been to Eden in the north.
"This little girl strikes very quickly and neatly. Xia Zheng's genes are quite good." An old guy said.
"What do you think of your and my genes?" another asked with a smile.
"this… "
Everyone else understood what the old man meant by asking this question.
They can all survive the war years and end the chaos.
When they were young, they were all people with extraordinary intelligence and abilities.
If you really want to count genes, their genes must be excellent.
But their descendants...
"So the lower realm is indeed a place for people to gain experience."
Everyone nodded, there was no way to deny this.
"This incident has actually given us an opportunity. It's time to change the system of the floating city. Some people who have settled permanently..."
"Deportation?"
"This generation can continue to live there. As for the next generation... it depends on their own efforts."
"This will cause dissatisfaction and backlash."
"That's why I said this is a good opportunity to beat some people. Let the young man Wu Yu do it. I think that young man does things very neatly."
These old guys still didn't suspect Wu Yu.
In their opinion, it should be something left over from that summer and used by his daughter.
"We searched very carefully at that time, but we still couldn't find the location of those missile warheads."
"There were some cheaters who were helping Xia Zheng back then. It's normal that he can't be found. There's no need to blame yourself."
