Embers Ad Infinitum

Chapter 514: Mars

The first city, the Senate.

Moore, who put the "Hawkeye" sniper rifle at the window, looked at the countless citizens who were blocked by the city defense army with a solemn expression. His throat was so nervous that he wanted to drink water.

He had heard that many soldiers on the real battlefield had been rout in a similar state, but he didn't think he would be like them.

Because he is a subhuman.

The place where he was distorted was his brain, and his eyes bulged out, like a monster in some old world stories.

This allows him to naturally have a high-accuracy ballistic trajectory in his mind when he shoots, so he can adjust it in advance to achieve a nearly 100% hit rate.

Such specialties made More's father and several of his older brothers and sisters well-known "Magic Eyes" in the North Shore Wasteland before they were caught by the "First City" army.

And they insist that what they have obtained is the "eye of the gods".

Whether it is "Magic Eyes" or "God Eyes", they cannot be regarded as a subhuman ethnic group. Their source is Mor's grandfather, and several large families have been divided down, and Mor has never discovered that A second person with completely similar characteristics and talents to his own family.

More had no wild adventures, as he was less than eight years old when his family was caught by the First City army and had just learned how to use some firearms.

Now, he's the captain of a sniper squad of the Second People's Guard.

"I hope there will be no conflict..." Moore heard one of his subordinates muttering beside him.

He forced his composure, turned his head sideways, and looked at the subordinate with his bulging eyes:

"There should be no major conflict. The elders of Varo, who were demanded by citizens for severe punishment, have actually been abandoned by most of the elders. If it is not for the consul's insistence, he believes that there must be sufficient evidence, rather than just two random two. The testimony of three people, he had long been thrown out of the window.

"In this situation, I don't think the consul will insist anymore."

As members of the designated guards of the Senate, Moore and others knew a lot about the various things that happened here, but there were not many human beings who came into contact with them at ordinary times, so they had no way of realizing it.

Moore's subordinates had black holes shrunk in the ears on both sides, and a rather smart-looking eye on his forehead.

He swallowed his saliva and said:

"hope."

Moore knew that this was the voice of most people in the Second People's Guard. Although it was rumored that they could only rely on the ruling faction of the Senate, they would definitely be able to kill people in the face of the gathered citizens. It was basically a fact, but it didn't mean they were willing to let things happen. developed to the point of no return.

At that time, if it succeeds, it is better to say that if the ruling faction of the Senate fails, all the members of the Human Guard will not be spared.

Moore remembers his children always asking themselves:

"Dad, why can't we go out of this community? It seems to be very lively outside, we want to take a look."

"Dad, is it really like what the radio and TV say outside? When can we go out?"

Each time, Moore could only tell the child in pain:

"We are doing very dangerous work, and for everyone's safety, minors are not allowed to leave the community."

His children will inevitably ask, "Dad, can you stop doing this job?"

More wanted to tell them that if they didn't do this "job," they would all die.

Therefore, the Second People's Guard does not want conflict to occur, and more that its own existence is always just a deterrent.

Only in this way will they not have to fear failure, so that they can always protect their family members and survive until the lucky ones whose appearance no longer has obvious aberrations are born in their offspring.

Of course, Moore occasionally flashes the idea of "after the conflict breaks out, the ruling faction of the Senate will win the final victory", in that case, the status of the Second People's Guard will definitely be higher, and maybe it will be authorized to command some normal humans. The army may get more companions, multiply the size of the community several times, and give children more places to play.

That way, we can look forward to a day in the future when people will be able to walk and shop in the streets of the first city.

But Moore is sober, and he would rather maintain the current situation than the consequences of failure.

He believed that this was also the idea of the vast majority of the members of the Subhuman Guard, with the exception of a few careerists.

"Severely punish Varro!"

"Severely punish Varro!"

In the shouts, some citizens were already trying to attack the city defense army, but they were all blocked by explosion-proof shields.

At this moment, the condescending Mohr and other snipers saw a black bulletproof car drive to the side door of the Senate.

Here comes the Archon... The next-level snipers breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

They were afraid that the consul would not come, and that none of the elders here would come forward and take responsibility, which led to the problem being dragged on, making the citizens gathered outside more and more impatient and excited.

At that time, if there is any accident, it is like a spark falling into a powder keg.

Beuris, who was wearing a green-brown commander's uniform, entered the Senate, surrounded by guards and security guards secretly and secretly.

"You're finally here." Inspector Alexander nodded to the long-time political enemy from a long distance.

His daughter Galoran, dressed in a light, simple gray knee-length dress, served as his secretary.

Beuris looked around silently, and under his blue eyes, most of the elders present involuntarily avoided his sight.

The powerful commander walked to the window step by step and looked at the protesting citizens and Gaius in the crowd.

Gaius and Beuris are actually somewhat similar, with black hair, thin and even slightly sunken faces, and a rather serious temperament.

But one of them has an aquiline nose, one has no obvious features, one looks sullen, and one is very deep.

Between the eyes of the two, an elder named Carlo approached Beuris and said anxiously:

"Your Excellency Consul, don't hesitate any longer!

"The citizens of the whole city are on Gaius' side. Let's deprive Varro of his status as a veteran. Anyway, there will be a trial in the future, and there is still time. We will definitely find evidence to prove his innocence."

Beuris suddenly turned his head:

"You want to betray your position?"

Carlo quickly explained:

"No, I just don't think it's necessary to cause a riot with a meaningless name..."

The elder who was also in his early fifties and belonged to the Akson people suddenly stopped when he said this.

Inexplicably, he felt that the twinkling light in Beuris' eyes was rather strange.

"Traitor!" Beurith's voice seemed to come from the depths of his chest.

Almost at the same time, Carlo raised the corners of his mouth and made a childlike grimace.

But instead of sticking out his tongue, it became extremely loose and stuffed back in his throat.

Hehe!

Carlo struggled to the ground.

"Beuris!" Inspector Alexander did not expect such a change at all.

But as soon as he called out the other party's name, he saw red bloodshot streaks popping out of Beurith's deep blue eyes.

His eyes quickly became cloudy.

His back hunched up.

His mouth opened, and a long saliva dropped down.

"Heartless".

The consul and commander of the "First City" suddenly suffers from "innocent disease"!

All this happened by the window, and many citizens below saw it, and they all looked at each other in dismay.

At the critical moment, Gaius picked up the microphone and shouted loudly:

"The Archon attacked the other elders!

"The Archons are controlled by the 'Salvation Army'!

"All citizens, we must stop this!"

The emotions of the citizens who were close to being detonated instantly burned, and they rushed towards the city defense army like a tide.

Although the city defense troops turned their backs to the Senate and could not see what was happening behind them, they could still sense a little movement and heard what Gaius shouted.

They hesitated.

A wall composed of blast-proof shields was washed away.

Upon seeing this, Dukas, who was commanding the scene, hurriedly asked General Phukas for instructions through his mobile phone.

Phokas was silent for a few seconds and said:

"remain neutral."

When the members of the Second People's Guard in different positions in the Senate saw the signs of the city defense army breaking down, their tension and fear climbed to the extreme.

This quickly turned into momentum, and the people pulled the trigger one after another.

boom! boom! boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Dozens of citizens were either covered in blood or covered in gunpowder smoke and fell down one after another.

Rather than scare the rest of the citizens, this angered them outright.

Now that the shots have been fired, Moore and the others did not hesitate to prepare for large-scale killings.

At this time, Gaius in the crowd raised his right hand and touched the position between his lower mouth and nose.

In a split second, the submen found themselves unable to shoot.

They seem to have forgotten this acquired skill!

Golden Apple District, 15 King Street.

Hearing the sound of gunfire and explosions in the distance, Kang Na, who was chatting with the "Old Tunes Group", stood up and said with a smile:

"It's time to find Avia."

Jiang Baimian frowned slightly and said:

"Won't you wait a little longer?"

She hopes to wait until the conflict becomes more intense, and all the awakened ones at the "Spiritual Corridor" level rush to the back of the Senate.

Kona smiled and said:

"Under normal circumstances, no one dares to touch Avia not because she is protected by the 'virtual world', but once she is entangled by the master of the 'virtual world', the powerhouses from the original city will soon arrive.

"And now, their focus should be on the Senate, and no longer pay attention to other places.

"As for the owner of the 'virtual world', I will help you hold it off."
