I am the former civilized hero.

There is a giant screen above the port. The blood-red numbers rolling on it are like a death warrant. No one dares to slack off for even a minute, and everyone works at the fastest efficiency in their lives.

After the loading is completed, Haiyuan City will also retreat. Perhaps this is the last day for these logistics personnel to stay on Earth. The time is too short, and they don’t even have time to return to their hometown.

Those who remain will mainly be fusion warriors. The ordinary soldiers have all written their wills. Most of them are alone and have a deep hatred for Honkai.

'They don't care about life or death anymore. After all, I never forced anyone, and I didn't even use the commandments.'

Ryan stood on the deck with his hands folded, took in the busy scene, and felt relieved.

In the face of collapse, numbers are useless, and leaving too many people behind would be a burden. However, controlling warships and directing operations require the participation of non-combatants.

"Branch Chief, have you made up your mind?" He turned to look at Edwin from the former Far East Branch. The two were quite familiar with each other.

"I am the commander of the Hyperion now. Dr. Mei will be very busy by then, and someone will have to command the battleship."

The gray-haired man, who looked like a distressed old farmer, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, smiling comfortably, "I'm already old, and it's useless for me to go to the World Bubble. Besides, I promised my wife that I wouldn't be too far away from her. Although it only takes a moment to go to the Quantum Sea, I'm afraid the distance cannot be measured."

That is the distance between the worlds, enough to make people forget many things, and at his age, memories become precious.

"You stayed because of hatred?" Ryan asked, and then he knew that Edwin's wife had died in a certain collapse.

"There is a little hatred, but how should I put it..." Edwin's face was full of wrinkles, and he pursed his lips towards an old man in a neat military uniform in the distance, "Just like that old guy Heinrich, who has been fighting Honkai for so long, no matter who wins or loses, he always wants to see the end."

This reason was somewhat beyond Ryan's expectations, but after thinking about it, he found it reasonable.

The veterans of Fire Moths are already tired, they have been fighting against Honkai since they were young, from excitement to despair, and then from despair to hope, it is like following a novel, it is inevitable to feel regret if they can't see to the end.

"Then live to the end. I hope the ending I write will not disappoint you."

"Hahaha, I've watched you go from being an ordinary person to being in the clouds. I still have some confidence. Go and take a rest. I have to start working too."

Edwin brought his adjutant and took the documents to confirm the supplies one by one. These things were originally done by Mei herself, but at this time, ordinary soldiers took over all the work.

There is not much they can do. They can only try their best to keep the main force focused. There is no one to arrange anything, and it is completely autonomous behavior.

Twelve hours, thirty-five minutes.

Ryan looked at the jumping numbers again and continued to watch the busy scene, and suddenly found that he had nothing to do.

The preparations have already begun, and he doesn't need to worry about the details. Even most of the fusion warriors are the same. They only need to rest and then go to the battlefield in the best physical and mental state.

As for the way of rest, there are no regulations.

Or take a deep sleep, or go back to the room to revise the suicide note, or listen to music, watch movies, or make good use of the time to exercise. Anyway, do whatever you like, adjust your state in your favorite way, and wait for the signal to attack.

Not only Coleman and others, but even the heroes all dispersed. Ryan stood there for a long time, at a loss for what to do.

He had already adjusted his mentality just now, had sufficient Honkai energy, and his body was in a combat-ready state. It would be a waste of time to practice further.

There are only a few chapters left to finish. Should I go back to my room and finish writing?

Ryan thought for a long time, as if this was the only thing he could do. He took two steps and then stopped. His entire head was filled with follow-up plans, and it was inevitable that he would be distracted when looking for inspiration at this time.

"Forget it, let's just go around and look around. Even though I haven't received any salary, I still have to fulfill my job responsibilities as the general manager."

He decided to do something meaningful, at least something meaningful to others. Ryan walked onto the dock with his hands in his pockets, and then gradually, he found that he was in excellent condition.

The brain does not need to think about anything more, it only needs to use its eyes to see and engrave the various aspects of human life before the end into its mind.

The overall atmosphere was tense and fast-paced. Missiles were loaded into the launch ports one by one. Welding torches flashed. Mechanical arms tied the remaining warships together to form some kind of turret. Then the bow of the Hyperion was opened and a huge device was being loaded.

One of the gifts is the Moonlight Throne System. This device was led by Mei and developed by Vervi. Its core function is to transfer energy. It was also used in the original world line, but because the strength of the Herrscher of the End was too high, the maximum power was only drained by a few percentage points.

Then these collapsed energies were sealed on the moon, and triggered some events in the post-civilization era.

Now that he knew the result, Ryan made some minor adjustments, which could be considered as one of the gifts he prepared. Here, he saw Velvi, who was wearing a safety helmet and giving orders, accompanied by researchers such as Sené.

Ryan did not go over to disturb her, but just observed from a distance. Seeing that Weiwei had a serious expression and no desire to perform, he knew that this was not a 'magician', nor a 'pleasure', nor a 'porn appraiser', because these personalities would definitely have some strange functions.

"I've never seen a personality like this before, but he seems quite reliable." Ryan thought about it and didn't question it.

As the client, the design requirements have been put forward and Mei has replied that it has been completed, so we just need to trust them.

He turned and walked into the long corridor, passing a group of trucks loaded with cylinders marked with the 'radiation' icon.

All the remaining nuclear bombs and N2 bombs in the world have been transported here. Because the battlefield is in space, these things can be used to their full potential, and the Fire Moths will take away all the lethal weapons they can think of.

"It's better than nothing. It's also a good thing to add some color to the battlefield." Ryan still did not interfere with other people's work. He watched the vehicles whizzing past and saw an unexpected person.

Destobia was also wearing a helmet and jogging behind the truck. She was visibly stunned when she saw Ryan.

"Hey, why are you here?"

"Then where can I be? It's not good to disturb anyone in the last hour. Let's leave you some private space." Ryan shrugged, and his expression became strange again: "Why don't you stay with Kosmo? This opportunity is rare."

"Well, my telekinesis can save a lot of time, so I came to help."

"I'm asking about Kosmo." Ryan emphasized his tone. If he had known that the two were having an affair, to be honest, now would be the best time to confess his feelings.

The girl's face was obviously red, and she pinched the corner of her clothes and said, "We should always keep some thoughts in mind, in case that idiot refuses and affects our mood. If I agree, wouldn't I violate the 'Ten Taboos of Pre-War Preparation' issued by you?"

"When did I issue this?"

"That's what Dr. Mobius said. She said that these are your long-term conclusions. Every soldier is studying them carefully. After all, you are the 'immortal super soldier'."

What a mess, and why do I have more and more nicknames?

He took the booklet, flipped through it for a few seconds, and found that it was indeed what he had said. Of course, a lot of it was boring metaphysical chat.

such as:

Confession before the battle means death.

If the confession is successful, then marrying and having children will lead to death.

You are absolutely not allowed to look at family photos, let alone show them to others.

Never say things like 'I'm lucky', 'I'll definitely come back', 'After this last job, I've decided to retire', 'There's nothing...to be afraid of...'

It's exactly what I said, this Mobius is plotting again, he wants to weld the car door shut after getting in the car.

Ryan returned the booklet to Desdobia with a smile, and he said that the atmosphere was so weird and everyone was gone. It turned out that they were hiding from the death flag.

During this period before the war, everyone's thoughts were very confused. Even the most rational people had to believe in metaphysics. Of course, Mobius was not entirely kind-hearted. As soon as he got into the car, he welded the door shut.

'If anyone has feelings for me and wants to confess at this last opportunity, they have to be careful about the flag. For example, I am afraid of it myself.'

Ryan suddenly realized that he felt the same way subconsciously, which was why he didn't bother others. If he had accidentally said something like "I'm invincible" or "You're safe behind me", he would have blamed himself when the car overturned.

"So everyone is hiding?"

"Not really. Dr. Mei and Kevin are together and they look down on Flag and the like."

"Kevin is so brave?"

"Not really. After reading it, he believed it very much and kept his mouth shut. I saw Dr. Mei drag him... into a small room." Desdobia's face turned even redder, and she felt a little envious.

Oh, you don’t believe it, right? But in this way, even if Kevin dies, there will be no regrets.

Ryan showed an ambiguous smile, and it was not easy to interfere in the affairs between Destobia and Kosmo. It was his responsibility to protect everyone while defeating the End.

"By the way, Ellie is looking for you."

He had just taken a few steps when he heard a message transmitted by telekinesis. He turned around and saw that Desdobia had disappeared.

What the hell? If you wanted to find me, you should have just not left in the first place.

Ryan shook his head. He couldn't keep up with Alicia's thoughts, so he simply walked deeper into the passage.

The construction of Haiyuan City has not been completed at all. Many areas are empty, and there are busy soldiers everywhere. Ryan calculated the time as he walked and looked around. There were two states in the underwater city.

The soldiers were very busy, doing their work quickly. They had to complete the preparations before the fleet set out and then withdraw to the Quantum Sea immediately.

The fusion warriors were very idle, they didn't need to do anything but adjust their status. Also, because Ryan had given them enough confidence before, although they were nervous, no one was really afraid.

So Ryan saw people staring at photos in a daze, people drinking heavily, and people with a very good attitude who moved a recliner and read quietly. Of course, there were also those battle fanatics from the Annihilation Team.

They were shirtless, doing push-ups in the alley outside the training room, sweat flowing through their strong muscles, and they patted each other's chest muscles with hearty smiles.

It’s a very philosophical atmosphere, but Qianjie finally knows how to lead his subordinates.

Ryan hid in the dark and saw a man in leather pants squatting, his vest soaked with sweat. He was as tireless as a perpetual motion machine, while a white-haired girl squatted beside him, yawning with a scarf in her hand.

The harmonious scene made Ryan smile like an auntie. He walked away quietly, then paused and went back the same way.

"Hey, Qianjie wasn't wearing a mask just now?"

He realized something. Even though Qianjie had his back to the alley, Lyudchina would definitely be able to see his appearance clearly.

No way, she actually accomplished this achievement?

Qianjie's appearance is one of the ten unsolved mysteries of Honkai. Even Ryan himself has never seen it, so he can't help but be curious. Now he only needs a breeze to witness it.

I'm just strolling around anyway, so it's okay to complete an achievement along the way.

"General Manager?"

The hand that had just been raised was put down instantly, and Ryan turned around and saw that it was Klein.

"Why haven't you retreated yet?"

Klein had undergone a super transformation surgery, but he is not in the category of "warrior" anyway. The people in Mobius Laboratory will retreat to the World Bubble, which can be regarded as a compromise with the "Spark Project".

"I'm sorting out the documents, and the doctor is looking for you everywhere."

Why is she looking for me too?

Ryan was even more puzzled. The core of Haiyuan City was the 'gate' leading to the World Bubble. It was not very large and had no living facilities. To put it bluntly, it was just a relay station.

"So where is she?"

"Just now in the hallway, I thought you would come over, but you were wandering around."

"I'm just observing the human condition and boosting morale." Ryan argued, then waved his hand weakly, "Forget it, I'll go find her."

After being interrupted by Klein, an obvious murderous aura came from the end of the corridor. It was obvious that Qianjie discovered someone peeping.

Tsk, this mask of yours has causal functions, right? Even I can’t see your true face and I’m always interrupted.

Ryan muttered to himself, and when he reached the corner, he turned his head and saw Liu Dezina wiping Qianjie's sweat, with the towel just covering half of his face, and someone's eyes were as big as copper bells, so Ryan had to look away.

Okay, wait until I deal with the end, and then I'll take the mask off your face.

After making a good plan, Ryan took the elevator to the bottom of Haiyuan City. When the door opened, a faint blue light filled his whole body.

In the center of the huge room, there is a transparent rectangular structure that seems to be made of glass, restraining the light blue light inside, which flows like liquid.

The matrix is ​​the gate. Through the Grieus device, people are digitized, thrown into the sea, and then restored at the coordinate point to complete the entire movement process. It is a bit like the "star gate" setting in science fiction novels, but this matrix is ​​just a conceptual object.
