Chapter 368: Ellie (Part 2)
"Ellie, if I had stopped you then, perhaps this city would still be stinking, full of mud, and without the sun in the sky!"
Gene said quietly, the cigarette in his mouth had burned out, and sadness appeared on Gene's face. He sat down, the evening breeze kept blowing on his face, and the air was slightly cool.
Gene's mouth corners slightly raised, slightly bitter, he was a little tired, every time he was alone at night like this, Gene would feel unusually tired, but when the sun rose, Gene would smile again and cheer up.
"Stand up, Gene."
Gene still remembers the light that emanated from Ellie when she made the decision. That was the light that Gene saw in the dark and lightless world after a long time.
Everything was in chaos at that time. The root of the disaster was buried because of food, and the friction and collision of various forces. People at that time were fighting almost crazily. The cause was that a certain force plundered a village inhumanely, which violated the agreement between the forces. However, many forces used excuses to plunder the weak forces. The captured party became slaves. That was the darkest era for mankind.
Everyone fought bloody battles to compete for the land at the top of the Brilliant City with the last oasis.
Gene and the other six people suppressed these chaotic forces day and night, but the result was helpless. The hungry people who could no longer endure in such darkness wanted to kill each other so that they could have resources and continue to live.
From children to the elderly, everyone participated in the war, fighting day and night, and the remaining humans began to reveal their beast-like instincts uncontrollably.
The situation was no longer under the control of absolute power. Gene faced those fearless guys rushing towards him again and again, and was forced to crush them again and again. The last piece was located at the top of the Brilliant City. There was a human base long ago. Gene and other guys and some technicians conducted a lot of research here for a long time. However, before the research was about to bear fruit, the war broke out on a large scale.
Gene saw the indescribable people, who were more like beasts. Such a crazy breath intensified. In the end, many victorious forces rushed to the top of the mountain. A more bloody battle was about to begin. Tang Rao kept begging them hoarsely, not to continue. The research had already produced results, but most people couldn't wait. They just wanted everything they saw in front of them.
At that time, Gene was exhausted from killing, and no matter how he killed, he couldn't kill them all, or in other words, Gene and others didn't kill them many times.
The final result of the war was that the remaining humans on this land went to extinction. It was at this time that Ellie stood up and used her as material to launch an artificial sun.
In an instant, Gene's cheeks twisted into a ball. He lit a cigarette and pressed it against his forehead.
All the people in the defense base were exhausted, including Gene and the other six people. Memories kept coming to their minds.
"Gene, let me do it. Among the eight of us, only my body is the most suitable."
Gene, with a face full of stains, slowly raised his head. He looked at Ellie in shock, and the other six guys were the same. Tang Rao shook his head and said to let him do it.
However, the final result was still the same. Ellie used her own power to turn into fuel for the artificial sun, and used her own consciousness to control the rise and fall of the artificial sun.
"When the sun rises, everything will be over. I will dispel the darkness in your heart, Gene! Don't worry, I will come back one day, back to you, but at that time I hope to see a lively city under the sun. This is the promise between you and me!"
"The same goes for the rest of you. I can't help you with anything except the power I have after resurrection. After all, I am just a fool in your eyes. I don't have your talents to lead the human beings here to survive and prosper, in this place where the sun rises!"
At that time, Gene desperately grabbed Ellie's hand, but he finally let go. Ellie walked into the solar launch tower without hesitation. In the presence of Gene and the other six people, she turned into particles like the morning light and disappeared.
The battle was going on until everyone had gone crazy, but the light that suddenly appeared in the sky made the madness on the battlefield disappear.
"The sun is rising, there will be food, everything will be there, we survived, everything will be there"
Gene still remembers that he stood on the top of the mountain and shouted over and over again. When the sun's light began to spread out, the war was really over as Ellie said. Everyone put down their weapons and hugged each other with tears of joy. At this moment, there was no enemy or friend, only people who had lived in the darkness for decades and finally saw the sun.
Everyone was excited and shouting. Gene said nothing, leaving all the things in the city to six people. He took equipment, food and water alone and set out on the road to find artificial sun supply materials, and left the barrier without looking back.
The coolness in the cold night was about to disappear. Gene stood up quietly, and a smile returned to his face. The sun was about to rise. Gene lit a cigarette, put on his uniform, tidied for a while, put on his hat, and looked quietly to the east.
The sky began to emit a red light, and a big fireball was born little by little, and the sun rose.
"Good morning, Ellie!"
Gene showed a gentle smile like the sun, and jumped down from the high building facing the sun. The problems in the city now are just minor problems compared to the past. Because of the artificial sun, the city can prosper, and the girl in his head who is a little stupid but always loves to laugh is in the sky every day, shining on everything on the earth.
Gene landed steadily on the ground and walked quickly, because he knew that only by maintaining the existing order could he usher in the city that Ellie once said was alive under the sun.
In the early morning, Le Xiao drooped her head, and the sun's rays had already shone into Central Park. She ate breakfast absent-mindedly and looked at the fountain that was faintly visible in the middle of the forest. Everything that happened last night made Le Xiao seem to wake up from a dream.
"Le Le, I will give you a comprehensive psychological examination after the meeting."
Le Xiao blinked and looked at Gu Ningning.
"Why?"
Gu Ningning looked helpless and squinted at Michelle who was walking over. Michelle looked unhappy.
"Hey, Lele, you little fool, I can easily see the surveillance, and so can others. When you were still asleep this morning, everyone was discussing your sleepwalking last night."
Le Xiao's cheeks flushed instantly, and Michelle was already standing behind her.
"Secretary Le Xiao, please tie yourself up tightly with a rope before going to bed tonight!"
Le Xiao stood up in shock and turned around awkwardly.
"I know, Secretary General!"
Forget it, I've made an agreement with that girl.
