Chapter 716 Will the Electric Sheep Dream of Spring?
(2/2)
He suddenly raised his head.
"Listen." He said, "Here we go again."
Above the sky, the sound spreads throughout the world.
[Hand over Asa Akto. Push him to the edge of the world, and we will give you enough wealth and resources to survive...]
[Hand over Asa Akto...]
This voice has been echoing for many years. At first, people did not believe this nonsense, but as the invasion deepened, some people really received the resources given by [Tavi], and too many people were bewitched by [Tavi] and became new
believer.
The refugees died from human self-expulsion. When they were about to die, [Tavi] gave them resources, saved them, and became their god.
Beilisel closed his eyes.
"No, I have to help him. I can't hide from the world anymore..." Beilisel said, "You stay here and wait for me to come back."
…
The course of the war was not smooth.
Because the goal of the war is not clear at all.
After killing one red-eyed army, another one will be ushered in. Someone will always be bewitched and someone will always be invaded. Su Ming'an once again released the missionary halo screen recording method, but the fatal problem does not lie in this aspect at all.
The shortage of resources is the biggest obstacle to human survival. [One and a half dimensions] is in a dimension that is not connected above and below, and there is no way to get support. Unless it lasts until the world is reset in 72 years.
This barren land has lost God's care and has become like hell.
The copy is opened on the seventeenth day, night.
In the 65th year of the Catastrophe, the population dropped sharply to two-thirds of the original number. Most of them died of starvation, freezing, etc.
Su Mingan was sitting by the bonfire in the ruins, with the confused Sen and others beside him.
If the previous war in the 49th year of Cataclysm was to fight against the camp of gods and conquer the city of gods, this war would have almost no purpose, as if they were just killing for the sake of killing. No matter how many red-eyed enemy soldiers they killed, those who were frozen to death would always be
It's increasing. The army can kill, but it can't save anyone.
This is never-ending despair.
"It's not gods or beliefs that kill humans, it's humans themselves." Sen murmured.
...Too many people want them to hand over the city lord.
Suddenly, he saw Xi standing up.
In the middle of the crowd who were covered in injuries, she slowly walked out. Everyone looked at her who was also covered in injuries.
"Please don't give up." Xi said, "We must protect the people of Doomsday City and fight until the last moment."
She held her head high:
"——We would rather freeze to death due to lack of resources than be killed by [Tavi]'s bewitched people... This is the meaning of our fight."
What a hopeless fight.
Just to change the way to die.
Her face was covered with frostbite, and the temperature outside was getting lower and lower, which was a cold that penetrated straight into her soul.
"Xiao Shuai, handing you over will not solve the problem, it will only lead to greater despair." Xi squatted down, held Su Ming'an's hand, and clasped the thirty-third ring she gave him into his palm.
She murmured, as if convincing herself:
"You are the best, I can't lose you."
"..." Su Mingan said nothing.
Although the situation was difficult and there was no guidance from the gods, he relied on his own judgment of the situation and tried his best to lead people through this year. His companions did not give up and always protected him.
Although it was difficult, people also said that he seemed to have lost his god-like wisdom and became an ordinary person.
But they came down.
He felt a tightness in front of him, and Xi hugged him.
This hug does not contain any lust, it is just a way for the cold to keep each other warm.
Her eyes were moist and hot, her breath was cold, and her originally delicate skin was covered with scars and frostbite.
——When she hugged him, he still felt as if he was frozen and had no real feeling.
Her face rubbed against his chest, her lips were split, and she still insisted:
"I won't hand you over..."
"Why do I always have to sacrifice you in order to achieve a barely watchable ending..."
"We have come this far, who wants to admit defeat at the end..."
People look at them.
No one said anything like "hand over the city lord".
They struggled in the cold and fought in the dark, always hoping that the war would end and that they could find new resources to explore.
Although all that was ushered in was despair.
Human beings are such creatures that struggle to survive, surviving to this day for a little bit of unyielding faith.
"...I know, I love you." Su Mingan put his hand on her thin back.
A subtle song came out, and then became louder and louder. The scarred people sang softly, in front of the burning bonfire, as if they could keep themselves warm and leave hope in this desperate world.
In the long night, they are the only ones who inspire themselves and try to retain the voice of the morning star.
They sang songs that originated during the War of the Dawn, raising their heads high in the cold wind, as if they could catch a glimpse of the dawn.
…
"Is there any song worth stopping to listen to?
"What ideal is worth sacrificing one's life for?
"Honey,
"Honey,
"It's your unyielding voice...
"Please don't be afraid in the dark,
"Share with me the dawn of new life,
“We enjoy the wind of freedom…
"If the lamb runs between 0 and 1,
"If butterflies dance among the flowers of data,
"Honey,
"Honey,
"Do electric sheep dream of spring...?"
…
They are a bunch of electronic sheep struggling in a cycle.
Electronic sheep also yearn for spring.

[Historical records indicate that the War at Dawn in the Ruined World (Catastrophe 32-Catastrophe 72) lasted for forty years. 】
[After the end of the "transit period" in Catastrophe 49 - Catastrophe 63, people began a more desperate war. 】
【This time, they couldn't find any enemies.】
[The biggest enemy... stems from human beings' own desires and greed.]
【More than 53 million humans died in this cold and hunger.】
…
…
[——According to a total of 2,300 simulation records, humans finally chose to hand over Asa Akto every time. 】
