East of Eden

The rain in Haven City is getting heavier and heavier. The sky is completely blinded by the neon rain curtain, like the psychedelic smoke in a nightclub. The city's underground drainage system roars uninterruptedly, dealing with the overload of rainfall. In this kind of weather, Even frogs can get drowned.

In Furong District, Edgar Allan Poe Bar was in total darkness, five floor-to-ceiling windows were broken, the power supply system was completely shut down, and a notice of suspension of business was pasted in front of the gate in vain.Inside the house, the tables and chairs fell crookedly on the ground, and the glasses were shattered to the point of wreckage. From time to time, mice creaked past and quickly hid in the shadows.

Since Helios defeated Su Huang and became the "Acting Chief Executive Officer", the New Weaver Party has gained power. Most of them are idealistic young people with great ambitions and are easily incited.They supported Helios' expedition plan and drove warships to the new world, with slogans such as "The journey of mankind is the sea of ​​stars".

However, the old Weaver Party in the past has become a bleak elimination on the political stage. They opposed Helios, but now they can only gather quietly underground, like mice that cannot see the light.

At this moment, such a group of people gathered in the underground of Edgar Allan Poe Bar, and the name of their new organization was "Headwind", as opposed to "Wildfire".

Familiar faces are all there, Heathwell, Yun'an, Long, Franke, Meltria... and Dr. Sophia and Dr. Chuanliu who came from the southern rainforest a few days ago. The dragon people also brought them here.

In addition to these forces, some ex-Suhuang social animals who had awakened also joined them, and their common goal was to stop Helios.

The small basement was originally a wine cellar for storing wine, but now it has become the place where the "Headwind" secret society is formed.Their leaders are Sugi Tetsuro and Xiao Wan Edifence, but these two are not in the city now.

"It's been six days, and I heard that Black Lagoon Prison has strict management." Siswell flipped through the electronic calendar, "Can they bring back the stars?"

Long comforted: "Don't worry, it will happen."

Everyone is waiting for the return of Cang Xing, for them, Unknowingly, Zhong Xing has become a spiritual pillar.It seemed that as long as he was alive, there was hope for the world to regain its light.

While waiting for the star, Heathwell and the others were not idle.They pieced together the internal map of the White Tower and the blueprint of the eid energy ring from Su Huang's staff. Yun An used the computer to build a precise 3D model of the "White Tower", but some of the details are still unclear. is missing.

Yun'an transmitted the model of the White Tower to everyone's memory through the chip, so that they can naturally familiarize themselves with the situation in the tower.

After Helios and the New Weaver Party overthrew Su Huang, they used the White Pagoda as their base, and the four holy relics were placed on the top floor of the pagoda, guarded by the former Su Huang's "White Guardian" Hunting Demon Badge.In fact, Hunter Mozhang is a double-faced faction, advocating the theory of the highest technology, and he respects whoever has the strongest weapon as the king.

Now the king of the Demon Hunting Chapter is Helios.

As for Su Huang's little president, he has been imprisoned at the bottom of the White Tower and has become a complete political tool.

Since all the holy objects were opened, a golden arc of light appeared on the top of the White Tower, which is the door to communicate with the new world. Because of the huge area, after the refraction of sunlight, only an arc spot can be seen with the naked eye.Every day, countless warships pass through the gate to go back and forth between the old and new timelines, and Helios himself also went to the new world on the Pleiades 7 warship.

So to completely destroy Helios' expedition plan, score two parts:

First, close the four holy objects in the White Tower and block the door to the new world.

Second, defeat Helios' army in the New World, then permanently close the relic there.

In this way, the two world lines can be completely staggered and restored to parallelism, just like two untangled spaghetti, so that they are no longer related to each other.

The emerging organization "Headwind" is gathering forces from all parties, calculating, deploying, and discussing plans to attack the White Tower.Through the underground network, their total number has reached 7000 around the world, but compared with the New Weaver Party, they still seem to be in the middle of the road. With a team of [-] people, it is not easy to break into the security system of the White Tower, from the first floor to the top.

In their tense planning, the time passed by every minute and every second, and the day was approaching zero, but no one in the cellar of the bar stopped working. They used discarded lithium batteries and even candles to maintain electricity and lighting.

At five minutes past zero, there was a commotion outside the bar.

The members of the underground blew out the candles one after another, turned off the display screen, and pricked up their ears to keep alert, and there was a sound of the click of a pistol in the room.

Suddenly, a signal light on the old-fashioned radio station in the cellar was on. Yun An went to check and said pleasantly, "It's the signal from Dr. Shanmu! They're back!"

After the signal went on two long and three short five times as agreed, there were clear footsteps on the stairs.

Xing, Shanmu and Xiao Wan were wearing black raincoats, carrying the coldness and chill from the northern prison, holding a small magnetic power generation lamp in their hands, like secret missionaries in the dark passages of ancient churches, dodging into the cellar of the bar.

Shan Mu Zhelang declared: "The blue star has returned, and we can finally prepare to attack the White Tower."

What greeted them was gradually lit lamps in the darkness, as well as pairs of warm hands who didn't know who they were.

"Welcome back." Siswell held up a candle with a relaxed and joyful smile on his face.

On April 4, the weather was cloudy, the sea was filled with thick fog, and the visibility was 27 meters.

In the waters outside Tiangong Island, a cruise ship is performing routine patrol duties, but the crew members are very absent-minded today.

Today, Helios led a large army to start the conquest of the new world, but they can only stay here to guard their homes. Anyone would feel unhappy, not to mention they are a group of young people who are full of vigor.

"Hey, let me start playing cards, anyway, no one supervises us." A certain crew member suggested.

So they opened a few bottles of red wine, took out two decks of cards, sat on the floor in the cockpit, and played a rock song with a cool melody.

Just as they were playing more and more vigorously, no one noticed a small saucer boat quietly approaching under the sea, and it was firmly attached to the bottom of the cruiser like a butterfly.A circular opening like a manhole cover was cut at the bottom of the hull, and a passage was opened above the saucer boat, from which a group of people dressed in black and wearing wolf masks poured into the cabin silently.

boom!

The gun butt knocked open the door of the cockpit, and the rock music inside was still deafening.

"Grass, who are you?" The crew members were shocked.

They were answered by gunshots.

Before they could grab their weapons, they were hit by anesthesia needles one by one. The men in black tied their hands behind their backs and locked them together like sacks into the grocery room.

"The Weaver Party has just recruited such a bunch of waste?" Yun An took off his black clothes, took off his mask and smiled, and pressed a few buttons on the control panel to successfully switch to the return mode.

It wasn’t long before the Weaver Party seized power, they hadn’t uniformed their uniforms yet, and their identity checks weren’t sound enough. They just needed to capture the crew members’ ID cards and then copy their irises and fingerprints to confuse them a bit and deceive others.

During the return journey of the cruise ship, they had copied the identities of these crew members and took off their black clothes and masks one after another.

After a while, the boat docked.

"Hey, why did you come back so early today? Didn't you say you were on patrol for seven hours?" The sentinel on the shore walked towards them with a rifle on his back, and the poor unlucky guy was shot down before he got close.

This was an extremely successful sneak, and all the Weavers on the pier were wiped out in the blink of an eye, and their identity information was scanned by the dragon.The man in the flowered shirt started the boat and sailed to the sea again, taking a stack of newly copied identities to meet the second batch of team members who landed.

The others stayed on Tiangong Island and rushed into the White Tower as the first team.

How small human beings appear under the majestic and towering white tower, but there is no look of fear in their eyes, and their eyes are as firm as a torch.If all this is a game, the White Tower is the final level of the game, success or destruction, they will finally usher in an ending.

"Yun'an, Heathwell." Dr. Shanmu turned his head, straightened his glasses and said, "Now both of you can be on your own, and this time I'll be counting on you."

"Of course, doctor." They both answered in unison.

Those who broke into the White Tower were divided into three groups. Dr. Shanmu entered Area A, Yun'an entered Area B, and Heathwell entered Area C. Each of the three led a troop.Another group of people did not enter the White Tower, but went to the warship berth under the leadership of Chauvin Edifence, stole the warship, passed through the gate of time and space, and went to the new world.

Cang Xing is in the latter team.

Finally came the time to leave.

"The first team is divided into two groups, and those who rush to the tower will come with me." Shan Mu greeted.

"The one who seizes the warship follows me." Xiao Wan also shouted.

The people immediately divided into two teams, when Siswell suddenly shouted: "Star!"

Xing looked back for a while before seeing her in the crowd.

She stood on tiptoe and waved to Chao Xing vigorously: "You must come back alive! We are waiting for you at Edgar Allan Poe Bar!"

"I'll buy the best beer to celebrate—!" Yun An also booed.

At this moment, the White Pagoda was within easy reach, the coconut trees on the coastline were rustling, and the golden arc in the sky was like the narrowed eyes of a giant god, watching everyone's life and death.

If across time and space, only the deepest memory can be preserved, perhaps this will be the picture that Xing will always remember.

Xing never promises easily, but this time he nodded and said, "Yes."

The warship berth is behind the White Tower, where it is being covered by the tower's shadow, an oppressive darkness.

"I'm familiar with this place. No one in the last row 008 to 017 is currently in use. After you start the warship, go directly to the seventh lane and take off. Be careful not to collide with each other." Xiao Wan said.

The detailed information of driving a warship has been implanted in their common sense memory, as long as they can occupy the warship, they can operate smoothly.But now all the big warships have gone to the New World, and there are only a few fighter-sized Type 313 assault ships left in the parking lot. Strictly speaking, they can't even be called "ships", they can only be regarded as advanced aircraft.

The advantage is that it is light and easy to operate, and the disadvantage is that it is easy to be suppressed by firepower.

"Get on board quickly!" Chauvin Edifence ordered.

The number assigned by Xing was 008, a triangular black assault ship. He opened the hatch with a duplicate ID card and sat in the pilot's seat. Xiao Wan, who was on the next ship No. 009, waved to him through the glass.

Xiao Wan's voice can only be heard through the headset now, with the stuttering feeling of radio waves.

"Everyone is ready—take off—!"

Xing pushed the lever and felt his body slowly toppled over. The small assault ship was raising its head upwards with all its momentum.

Seeing so many assault ships in the parking lot suddenly start, even the most stupid controller will have a clue.Sure enough, within a few seconds, the console inside the White Tower gave an order:

"No. 008 to No. 017, please stop flying! If you refuse to respond, shoot them down immediately!"

"Don't worry, keep going, pull the height to the maximum!" Xiao Wan commanded smoothly, making people sigh that it is indeed the Su Huang's sharp blade that has experienced many battles.

The star slowly raised its height, and the space-time distortion zone opened by the holy object was getting closer and closer, and the clouds and air appeared particle fluctuations.The fuselage shook violently, like a thin sheet of paper, and the dense firepower below chased it, strafing the sky and covering the sky, the star was hit on the right side of the wing, gray smoke came out from one propeller, and the assault ship fell some heights .

Xing had to maximize the power of the other propellers and rushed towards the sky without reservation, but at this moment he found that the ship 009 beside him suddenly turned sharply down.

It was not hit, but took the initiative to stand in the rear for everyone, using its steel frame body to resist the artillery fire from the White Tower.

"Leave me alone and move on!"

Chauvin Edifence, the pilot of 009, ordered that Xing saw him in the rearview mirror, like a berserk bee, rushing towards the White Tower with full firepower.

Through the earphones, the last sound Xing heard was the man pushing the lighter and exhaling a long breath, as if enjoying a delicious cigarette.

Then Xing passed through the door, and what greeted him was another world.
