The Wandering Planet

In the city of Zion, located deep underground, a large number of armored fighters gathered at the dock as an outpost.

Now they have no time to care about the situation inside the matrix, and must concentrate all their strength to keep the city from the attack of the machine army.

The beacon of the Wandering Earth was built under the pier, and a large number of workers were busy on it, trying to complete the work as quickly as possible.

Commander Locke looked at the beacon that was still under construction, and asked the person in charge of the project:

"How long will it take for this thing to start?"

"It will probably take more than an hour, and we have tried our best."

"Damn it!"

Locke couldn't help but punched the table heavily, because it obviously couldn't be done before the army of machines arrived.

"If the Council hadn't been spending hours arguing with each other at this point, we'd be done! A bunch of short-sighted fellows!"

Due to the long-term influence of the Prophet, most people in the Zion Council are still more willing to believe in Neo, the savior, and they are not active in the beacon plan for the wandering earth.

The reason is that since the prophecy of the prophet is about to be fulfilled, why spend resources to build some beacons, you should devote all your energy to defending Zion, and persist until the miracle of the savior comes.

In the end, it was Commander Locke who overcame all opinions to implement the Beacon Project, but it also wasted several hours, which is undoubtedly extremely fatal in today's battle where every second counts.

A tide of mechanical squids had already arrived at the outskirts of Zion, and they could even vaguely feel the vibrations from the giant drill digging, obviously they were already approaching the city.

In this case, Zion has to withstand the attack of the machine army for an hour before the beacon can be activated. Whether it can be completed is still unknown.

In the matrix world, facing the viral Smith army, the last illusion of the remaining human beings was shattered.

They were all forced to accept the reality that they had not been living in the real world, and such a terrible disaster would never have happened in reality.

Now the only way to survive is to get out of the mother's womb,

Return to the real world, or wait to be infected and assimilated by Smith.

However, this is not something you can do if you want to do it. Sometimes even if you realize that you are dreaming, you can't wake up from the dream.

What's more, this place is in the mother's womb, and everyone is locked in the virtual world by intubating the back of the head?

Unplugging by force will only result in death, not to mention there is no way for them to unplug themselves.

Qiao Lu asked Zhang Bin: "Now that most people have awakened, why hasn't the mother's body collapsed?"

According to the original plan, as long as most people can refuse to accept the matrix, the matrix can be completely collapsed and everyone can be sent back to reality.

However, all of this has not happened now. Countless people want to escape from the mother's body, but find that it is impossible.

Zhang Bin replied: "It's a virus! To be precise, it is a human being infected by the virus, and their brains are still maintaining the operation of the mother body!"

Smith is not only infected with programs, but even human brains can be hacked.

His goal is to dominate the matrix, of course the collapse of the matrix is ​​not allowed.

"Will our people be infected too?" Qiao Lu asked worriedly.

If the Smith virus is allowed to spread to the wandering earth, the consequences will be disastrous!

Zhang Bin said regretfully: "Yes, so we must find a way to remove the virus, otherwise anyone may bring the virus back."

Among the Wandering Earth Expeditionary Force, some people may have been assimilated by Smith. In order to avoid further deterioration of the situation, we can only isolate the people who stay in the mother's womb.

The Prophet's move was even more vicious than Qiao Li had imagined. If there is no way to eliminate the Smith virus, all the people in the matrix will have to be given up on the Wandering Earth.

If it is really a last resort, Wandering Earth can only choose to unplug the network cable to prevent the virus from spreading to this side.

Qiao Li said calmly, "I understand."

In this case, Qiao Li is of course also the subject of isolation, so he can't ask him to go first.

"Sorry, Qiao Lu." Zhang Bin said sadly.

"It's okay, I'm not a savior, let alone the last hope of mankind."

Qiao Li raised his head confidently and said, "Next, I'll leave it to you!"

Above the orbit of the New Moon Base, the Wandering Earth Fleet is ready to go, just waiting for a signal to arrive.

A crack appeared in the dome above Zion and spread rapidly.

All the armored soldiers on the scene immediately raised their cannons, and pointed the black muzzles at the place where the crack appeared.

Everyone's heart hangs in their throats, and everyone realizes that a big war is coming!

I saw a huge drill emerging from the crack, quickly crushing all obstacles, and falling from the top of the dome, leaving a very regular hole.

"The dome has been breached!"

"Prepare to meet the enemy—!"

In an instant, everyone was in motion, focusing on the hole the drill had made.

Along this neat hole, a large number of mechanical squids swarmed in, completely igniting the flames of war!

The moment the first mechanical squid emerged from the hole, the driver who couldn't bear it anymore immediately pulled the trigger.

In an instant, the two 30mm machine guns in the hands of the armored fighters spit out flames nearly one meter long, and poured out the bullets like they didn't need money.

The storm of bullets swept from all directions, forming a dense firepower net, firmly blocking the opening on the dome.

The mechanical squid that came out was instantly torn into pieces by the bullets, even the tentacles were broken into several pieces, and the mechanical wreckage rained down with gravel, turning the entire hole into a land of death.

For the first few minutes, the narrow opening acts like a meat grinder, mercilessly crushing any enemy who dares to enter.

A large number of mechanical squids were ruthlessly torn apart by the storm of bullets before they could show their faces, leaving only a pile of tattered parts.

However, there are too many machine armies, and the bullets of the armored mechanized soldiers are not unlimited. When the follow-up ammunition fails to keep up, the fish that slipped through the net immediately appeared, scattered through layers of firepower nets and entered Zion .

As more and more mechanical squids invaded, the armored mecha soldiers also had to disperse their firepower to deal with these fish that slipped through the net, unable to aim all the bullets at the hole and pour them over.

This was the beginning of the collapse of the defense line. From the original positional warfare, it gradually evolved into a hand-to-hand street combat. Every armored mecha soldier could only cover back to back and shoot at the mechanical squids that filled the sky.

The drill bit that fell at the beginning also stretched out the support and stood up, and under the cover of countless mechanical squids, it dug further down.

Workers on the lower floors were still building the beacon, not looking up even as gravel and powder fell on their hard hats.

They know that fate is in their own hands, even if the danger is close at hand, they must not stop!
