[APH Mega Bu Ying Lu Zhong] Fools' Carnival

Since graduating from high school coincided with Alfred and Matthew's birthdays, the class reunion celebrated their coming of age, and Alfred still remembers it as a hot, star-studded summer night, partying. There are music, dance and love. The anger of young people is agitated when they are mature, and they are secretly burning from the ashes of Chicago for many years. They are willing to consume passion in advance, because the end of this era is always silent.Alfred stood on a crude stage of tables to say his final farewells—they were leaving Chicago in the caravan the next morning—with Arthur and Francis standing in the corner listening to his infectious speech Speaking, while Matthew drank some beer and hid in the toilet, maybe he was reminiscing about a certain time that passed away in a place where no one was there.

On such a night as warm as fireworks, Alfred rejected everyone's invitations, and decided to go back to the dormitory with Matthew on a rare occasion. He knocked on the toilet door, and there was a flustered sound from inside. Matthew opened the door, revealing With a flushed face and clear eyes like small animals, he knew that Matthew was drunk.He deliberately asked: "Drunk?" Matthew shook his head, looking honest, and let Alfred lead him by the sleeve and walk out.

After leaving the fiery party, the air outside seemed extremely cool. Alfred finally caught his breath. The beam of the mercury lamp flowed on the white concrete floor, and even the luminous particles wrapped inside could be clearly seen, but the starry sky above his head was dim. A lot.In the past 100 years, humans have killed the galaxy with artificial light. Today, when the city that never sleeps is extinguished, the starry sky returns. Alfred thinks it is just like the existence of him and Matthew.After walking for a while, before seeing the dormitory, Matthew couldn't walk anymore. The two sat side by side on the bench by the roadside. Matthew stared straight ahead, and Alfred stretched out his hand in front of him. Shaking, seeing that he didn't respond, I was relieved: "I'm leaving tomorrow morning, and I will wake you up."

"The credibility is extremely low." Although his head was dizzy, Matthew's reply was still sharp.Alfred forcibly changed the subject as if nothing had happened: "Is there any place you want to go besides Seattle?"

"St. Sophia Church..." "Wake up, there is no such church in the United States." Alfred couldn't help but glance sideways to see if Matthew was awake, "Why do you want to go to church? Among us But no one believes in religion." Matthew bowed his head, his hair draped over his red cheeks: "The church raises sheep, and I like sheep. The red walls symbolize the sins of the world." Alfred's conclusion: Matthew in a drunk state Doesn't speak human language other than swearing.

"I don't understand what you are talking about...but please don't run around, I will watch you, and Arthur and the others." Alfred paused, and suddenly lowered his voice, "I know you The thing about holding a kitchen knife in a daze in the kitchen, does it mean that if I don’t go in and interrupt you, you’re going to do it?” Matthew didn’t answer, as if he didn’t hear what Alfred said, so he said again: “I’ve been I know what you want to do, from childhood to adulthood. Sometimes I am afraid of you, and I don't know how you will destroy everything, but since you are cruel to me, I will not let you go easily." It is said that he fell asleep With the ability to silently plant an idea into someone else's brain, Alfred wanted to try it—as another negative charge against Matthew's deep-rooted obstinacy.

"Alfr..." Matthew's sudden call made Alfred's heart skip a beat, he was afraid that he would show his cards untimely, "I'm not going anywhere. Although I will no longer be me, I will become You, become each of you, I will always be by your side. I just entrust everything to you, as if only Alfred was born from the mother's womb, without twins." He showed a red face smile.No, no, it's not like this in memory, the real situation is that Matthew was really drunk, and he didn't understand a word, even though he was aware of this, Alfred couldn't help standing up: "No! I don't want This kind of life! Even if everything has to be broken in half, always be recognized as wrong, and keep making mistakes because of you, I don’t want to be alone! Without you, everything in the past and present is nothing Meaningful!" However, Matthew turned his head slowly, showing an indescribably sad expression to the excited Alfred: "I beg you, let me go, I have endured it for almost 20 years."

"No!" Alfred refused on the spot.Matthew also stood up and put his hand on his face: "Please..." Alfred blushed, his teeth were chattering: "No!" Matthew withdrew his hand: "You can't find my... ..." Alfred shouted anxiously: "I will, you wait!" Matthew shook his head with a wry smile, stepped forward and kissed Alfred lightly, leaving behind a scorching breath:

"No, you've lost me."

Alfred opened his eyes suddenly, and what he saw was the top of the blue tent with white light, and the mess around his sleeping bag was messed up, and Wa Xiuxiu withdrew his hand in embarrassment: "I originally wanted to wake you up...how did you Are you having a nightmare? Hurry up and have breakfast, we are leaving." Alfred got up and climbed out of the tent with his dizzy head shaking, his muscles were a little sore from yesterday's special training.The assembly hall is still busy this morning. The breakfast is biscuits and fruit juice powder. According to Simon’s words, it is “dry food in wartime.” That's fine." After Alfred loaded his pistol, there were no extra weapons for him.

The plan divides the troops into three groups. One is the container group as a cover. A small number of people pretend to be trucks to make direct contact with the laboratory to attract attention. The second is the main force. Most people lie in wait for the opportunity to launch in nearby bunkers. For the attack, the third is the backup team, which is responsible for replenishing military strength, supplies, intelligence, and remote assistance. The first attack requires them to cut off the power supply and air conditioning system of the laboratory.Most of the main body of the laboratory is hidden underground. As long as the power supply is lost, it will become dark, and their usual method to deal with foreign enemies is to release hypnotic gas.The detailed plan has reached the hands of each team leader, the code name of the operation has also been decided, and a car is launched to travel in a mighty manner.After driving for about three hours, they were getting closer and closer to their destination. During the period, the road was always empty, but there was a little change in the fourth hour.

Without warning, another snow-white van appeared on the road and met Simon's convoy. To Alfred, this was surprisingly similar to a previous situation, and this white car was vaguely unusual. .Alfred was inexplicably disturbed, and Simon told the team to ignore it and drive away: "That car is not our target." After passing by the white car, Alfred's mood calmed down.

In the fifth hour, they had lunch again and finally arrived at their destination.The outer bunker of this laboratory is located on the hillside of a hill. On the surface, it is a completely abandoned wooden villa. In fact, it has more than ten times the space underground. Cutting down and building roadblocks can delay for a while at least, and the troops are mainly concentrated at the foot of the mountain in the south.There is only one entrance and exit on the open side of the laboratory, so it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, but they plan to blow a gap in the mountain. The structure of this mountain is very stable and will not collapse immediately.Before the real battle started, they spent the whole afternoon rushing to make preparations. It was not until eleven o'clock in the evening that Amir announced that he had occupied the control center of the laboratory.

"The 'Tiantian Tower' plan begins." Simon's order spread throughout the team within 1 minute.As a pioneer, he got into the container and was transported to the gate of the laboratory by the team members. The laboratory members who came out of the villa stepped forward to pick someone, but they were silently cleared by the men in the container who were eager to fight, leaving a man with no hands tied The doctor of Chicken Power was hijacked by them and opened the door.They put on the collar prepared by the laboratory for aliens at the entrance. This collar is one of the things Simon hates most. It can suppress supernatural powers and weaken aliens, but it has no effect on their vanguard composed of ordinary people.The collar is equivalent to an ID card in the laboratory. People without an ID card will trigger the alarm if they take an extra step, so Simon sneaked into the laboratory wearing a collar in such a grandiose manner. He needs more information to officially attack them.

Based on Simon's years of experience, he could quickly identify the type of laboratory and draw a rough map in his mind. He conveyed all the information to Amir, and finally occupied the observation deck quietly: "Team Two Start to act." As soon as the voice fell, the laboratory was dark, and the underground space suddenly fell into a terrible silence, and then, a burst of earth-shattering explosions completely shattered the silence: "Boom!!!"

Just like the Papyrus Tower of Babel that was struck by lightning in ancient mythology, people can see a bright fireball destroying the mountain wall in the dark, and the rocks rolled down and burst thrillingly, as if the disaster was coming again, and it was like the gods opening up the world , the underground laboratory, which never sees the sun, was severely torn open from the outside, and free air poured in crazily!Along with the screams of the people, there were piercing sirens and more and more frequent gunshots-the large army assaulted!Waxiu wore night vision goggles and followed the crowd closely. When the large troops entered the hall, they were divided into three groups according to the plan. The prison-like living area for aliens was displayed in front of everyone. , The fighting ended quickly, and Wa Xiu stared wide-eyed and tried not to shout.He followed Lucas down the corridors, frantically checking each cell as he went, no, no, where the hell was Erica? ... The figure in the cell was trembling in the dark, and Wa Xiu turned his head abruptly: "Erica!"

The figure didn't answer, but she began to struggle on the floor, and Vashion immediately broke away from the team and shook the fence to call her: "Is Erica you?! It's me, Vashion! I'm here to save you!" The weak girl's shadow enraged After leaving Waxiu, he activated the ability of the protective shield to slam into the fence. Tears flowed out after two hits. Someone tried to attack him from behind but was blocked by the ability. He turned around and fired twice, roaring like a beast: "You bastards!" The blood spread on the floor, the fence was broken, and Waxiu rushed into the cell. The boy and the girl knelt on the ground and hugged each other tightly. A weak child voice said: "Brother..."

"I'm here! I'm here..." Vashiu picked up Erica, "Don't be afraid, let's get out of here!" The corridor has been cleared, and their level is terribly silent, as when Vashiu came along The road climbed up, trying to return to the base camp through the hall, and then they had just left the stairs when Waxiu was blocked by a gun: "Don't move! Put that girl down and kneel down!"

"What?" Waxiu was stunned, and then saw an unbelievable scene through the night vision goggles: in the hall, most of the friendly troops had been gathered and restrained by the fully armed formal army, including Simon and the others.The shoulder emblem of the troops that suppressed them was "U×U" - "UnusualUnion", the Alien Association.

"Actually, the problem is very simple, but no one has ever seen the other way." Wang Yao looked through the car window at the entrance of the laboratory occupied by the association troops, and calmly sorted the medicine box, "It is impossible for the United States to have only one alien. There are tens of thousands of Simon's secret accomplices, but he is the only one who becomes a thorn in the eyes of all parties, because he voluntarily becomes a victim to protect the real organization, even if he falls, there will be another heir to maintain them activities. In order to prolong Simon’s influence as much as possible, the whole organization will provide him with cover. On the one hand, it will be difficult for ordinary people to grasp his location. On the other hand, he will be disguised as the core of the organization to attract most of the attention. I fell for the trick, thinking that I must bite his movements, but these days I figured it out, instead of chasing an illusory butterfly, it is better to bend down and destroy the ant nest under the nose."

"So you asked Lavis to give up tracking them, and instead centered on the last coordinates they left behind, and expanded the scope to find all suspicious signal sources, and found their lair. Following their plan in the experiment The lab is waiting here, and they can use their power to break through the laboratory..." Arthur swallowed a fever-reducing medicine that Wang Yao handed over, coughed lightly, "I'm sorry for your trouble."

"It's the devil's strategy." Francis leaned against the car window, watching a long line of aliens being unarmed and escorted into the prison car, and the doctors in white kept rescuing the wounded. side." Wang Yao smiled: "It's all talk from experience, and besides, I just did what I think is right. When the time comes, let's go down and have a look, Arthur, can you stand up?" Ser opened the car door, substituting actions for words.

It was raining lightly outside, the leaves were swaying, the night was deep, the clouds were rolling, the road was muddy, the voices of people in the distance could not be heard clearly, leaving the heating in the car, the winter cold hit the bone marrow, Arthur raised his face, burning red His cheeks were hot and cold, and his vision was still a little blurry.He walked towards the laboratory with vain steps, and suddenly heard noises coming from the back of the villa, he turned around, Wang Yao asked: "Where are you going?" Arthur felt the blood in his whole body rushing up, his limbs were trembling uncontrollably, he The more hurried he walked, the louder the noise became. A fast figure slid past not far in front of his eyes, and he blurted out: "Alfred!" The figure paused, then ran away, Arthur almost At the same time, he chased after him, and Francis shouted something behind him, but he couldn't hear him, and only the running shadow remained in his mind: "Bastard, stop—!"

"Huh...huh..." Alfred's heart was pounding, it was a hundred times more thrilling than playing a horror game!How did things become like this?Obviously he came to rescue Matthew, but he went all over the laboratory but couldn't find it, and then the troops of the Alien Association appeared, and they quickly suppressed the whole audience, only he escaped by chance, from the secret passage escaped, but what was even more unexpected was that Arthur and the others were also here!He didn't know what to do, but he didn't want to go back alone no matter what. How could he have the face to go back without Matthew?Besides, who else can help Simon and the others... In a sense, he must be responsible for the status quo.

"Alfred!" Arthur's hoarse roar made Alfred feel like a blow to the head. He took a deep breath, turned around and drew his gun suddenly: "Don't come over—!" Arthur stopped in response, and Alfred De felt that half of his life was flying, and he didn't dare to look up at his face, he just hoped that this would end soon: "Back, let me go!" But Arthur didn't continue to obey, but moved forward step by step, Al Fred then repeated with feigned ferocity: "Don't follow me, let me go!" His fingers pressed on the safety catch, and he didn't dare to pull it away.

"...The wings are stiff, right?" Arthur said slowly, as if choking on blood, and when Alfred reacted, Arthur had already rushed forward and grabbed the muzzle of the gun with one hand and slapped him hard with the other. , the burning pain on his face exploded with Arthur's roar: "Shoot if you have the guts!" Arthur's hand pulled hard, and Alfred's revolver flew into the puddle.Alfred breathed violently, his blood was surging, his lips trembled and he hesitated to speak, but Arthur didn't allow him to say a word, turned around and left, every step was full of anger, and the bloody roar echoed in the dark woods Li: "Let's go! Go where you love to death!"

"Alas..." As if someone let out a deep sigh, the drizzle wet everyone's sleeves.Alfred found that he couldn't move his feet. He almost wanted to cry like a baby in the wind and rain.Francis, who came from behind, stepped forward to hug him, and announced in a low voice: "Son, you're home."

Arthur passed by Wang Yao who was watching, Wang Yao let him go away without saying a word, he buried his head forward, roughly wiped the water stains on his face as he walked, and finally fainted from exhaustion when he returned to the carriage After passing by, Wang Yao took his temperature again when he came back, and the temperature dropped, which was a good trend, so he let him sleep in the car.Francis took Alfred into another car and poured him a cup of hot water for a while. Alfred sat in the back seat, his hand holding the cup was shaking constantly. Francis looked at him and sighed : "I sort of know what you're thinking, but you don't have to say it all at once. I just want to tell you right now that we're all worried about you and welcome you back no matter what."

Alfred took off his shoes, put his knees on the sofa, and leaned on it tiredly: "I'm sorry, you... have you found Matthew? I think he's here." Francis then got out of the car and asked, after a while Wang Yao came back with him: "How are you sure Matthew is here?"

"It was 'Prometheus' who helped me. They gave me three locations. My choice should not be wrong." Wang Yao didn't answer immediately, but took away Alfred's empty cup first: "Your luck is not omnipotent, it is much weaker than you imagined. You guessed wrong this time, Alfred." Alfred hesitated for a long time before recovering: "... what? Didn't find him?"

"None of us know where he is." Wang Yao solemnly corrected.Alfred stood up suddenly: "This is impossible, you must have missed something. I can feel that this place is related to Matthew!" Francis reached out and grabbed him: "You are too nervous, we will find him Yes, you just rest now, and then tell us what happened..." Impossible, even if luck fails, telepathy will not go wrong, Alfred's back suddenly stood up, and he fell belatedly. Take a breath -- that white van!

"Ma...Xiu..."

so cold.Cold as a corpse.Matthew felt something smooth like wind caressing his cheeks. The effect of the anesthetic had not yet faded. He tried hard to open his eyes, but his eyelids just kept shaking. The thing on the table is hair, long light golden hair and a nun's veil, a candle flickers brightly, exuding the smell of clove oil, gentle eyes rest on him, who is that?Matthew squeezed out a few weak syllables: "Who...you...?"

look at me.you remember me.An unbelievable voice echoed in his ears, and Matthew's tears welled up uncontrollably. This voice was so familiar and warm. It was neither a man nor a woman, but a child's indistinguishable voice, but it would hurt the eardrums, so Steve covered his ears.After a while, Matthew's eyes finally opened completely, and the world in front of him became real. First, a glass was blocked in front of him. He was locked in a coffin-like glass box. Write a letter: A.The glass box stood in a dark medium-sized shipping container. Opposite it was another glass box. Although Matthew couldn't see the people inside, he had an intuition that it was Meg. They were locked in the box like cargo. in the back of the van.Matthew pressed his hands against the glass, unable to touch Meg on the opposite side, he felt a chill that penetrated his bone marrow: "Meg! Meg, wake up!..."

In fact, he was not sure whether he should wake Meg up, how could he let Meg face this reality.Matthew pushed the glass hard, but of course it was futile. He felt the box vibrate, as if their container was running. He didn't know where ordinary people would transport them. The only thing he remembered was Meg in the laboratory. The appearance of being punished.

They are going straight to hell.
