Chapter 1244 The Down of the Gods (21)

The house in Eden, No. 0, is built on the edge of the forest on the far right side of the town. There is a clear stream here, bounded by the stream. On the other side are tall metasequoia, cycads, ginkgo, beech and laurel trees. Before you can enter the forest, you can smell the strong fragrance of flowers. There are lush sycamore trees growing by the stream, lush leaves like walnut trees, and magnolias bloom everywhere in the forest.

Cheng Mo thought that this was the "Garden of Eden". He followed Xishi to cross a log onto the stream. The water flowed under the bridge, and the sound of footsteps alarmed the creatures under the water. Under the slight waves, dense green spots of light like fireflies appeared. But Cheng Mo and the others were moving too fast. Just as the spots were diving into the water and moved, the three of them had already crossed the bridge, so the stream returned to peace.

Stepping into the forest, the fresh air rushes to the face, and the rich oxygen content even makes me feel slightly drunk. The tall canopy covers the sky, shrubs, small trees, and ferns everywhere, the sound of insects flapping their wings buzzing, and the strange birds' songs occasionally cut through the silence of the night. Only a large open space not far away is like a patio with cool moonlight. There is also a hunter's hut with lights under the moonlight, which looks like a sacred feeling from a distance.

Although the appearance of the forest is relatively close to that of modern flora, Cheng Mo can easily judge that this is a forest belonging to the Cretaceous period, and it is impossible for the most basic modern forest to have such tall real ferns.

Cheng Mo was interested in observing many plants that were now invisible. Before he could walk along the path to the open space surrounded by a large forest, he heard a low roar. He looked in the sound and saw two saber-toothed tigers raising their heads beside a pile of chopped firewood, staring at them with their huge heads with two long fangs.

The next second, the two giants rushed towards them quickly with lightning speed. Just as Cheng Mo was hesitating whether to sacrifice the "Seven Sins Sects", the two big cats jumped in front of Xi Shi, and turned over obediently, revealing their white belly.

"Get out."

Xishi was not polite to kick the two big cats with fierce fangs, and the two big cats immediately put their tails aside. But their eyes were still fierce when they looked at Cheng Mo, with their eyes as big as copper bells, and their blood-red tongues, as if they could pounce on them at any time. Until Athena walked past, the two saber-toothed tigers immediately lowered their heads, closed their eyes, lay down, and shivered in the darkness.

Cheng Mo was amazed, but when he thought of the rich fragrance of Athena, he knew that these saber-toothed tigers must remember this smell in their genes, which belonged to the pure-blooded lizardman. He walked through the open space and couldn't help but look up. The forest was like a tall well, and the night was circled into a circle.

Xishi walked to the door of the cottage without knocking on it. She pushed open the wooden door and rushed straight in.

Cheng Mo followed in and saw Zero sitting in front of the wooden desk next to the window making something. A kerosene lamp emitted a warm yellow light, and the table was filled with various iron components, the lotus-like iron black rotor, which should be able to form a revolver. He watched Zero polish the wooden handle. On the rough big hands, the handle of the part seemed very small, like a building block. The majestic shadow of Zero was reflected on the wall made of logs, like a mountain.

"You've come too early. The 'Eden Conference' will be held at 3:00 tomorrow afternoon." Zero said without raising his head.

"I heard that Nebuchadnezzar's body was injured?" Cheng Mo said.

Zero stopped the movement in his hand, remained silent for a moment before answering softly: "'Crown of Thorns' is no longer a secret in the king's hands."

"What does the 'Crown of Thorns' have to do with Nebuchadnezzar''' injury?"

"Recently, there are rumors everywhere in the Garden of Eden that having the 'Crown of Thorns' can have eternal youth like the carrier, but once the carrier of the Crown of Thorns is fatal, the body will also be injured." Zero looked at Cheng Mo, "The latest statement at present is that in order to remove the nuclear bomb that was thrown at Sini, the carrier was not only fatal, but also caused the body to be seriously injured."

"Some people believe this kind of rumor that they want to take advantage of the situation?" Xishi said suspiciously, "I think this is fishing! Lord Nebuchadnezzar is a god general."

"I don't know." Zero shook his head, "Anyway, no one dares to act rashly. They are waiting tomorrow to see what the situation is like for the king."

Cheng Mo said in a deep voice: "I don't want to wait until tomorrow."

This sentence is like a flash of lightning that crosses the cloudy sky. The flashing light makes people briefly see the horror scene that is about to happen. Just like you are in a suspense movie, it is not terrible to be able to see anything in the darkness, what is terrible is the moment when the light illuminates the darkness.

The moment when the unknown was exposed.

The Hunter's Hunter was silent for a while, and Zero slowly oiled the parts on the table again, and then organized them into an oversized revolver in an orderly manner. He pulled open the drawer and took out a box from it. The box contained silver bullets that were longer and thicker than Cheng Mo's fingers. The bullets were carved with complex patterns, like black magic circles. He stuffed five bullets into the wheel, loaded them, and then turned the wheel for a while. In the silence, the sound of "wow, wow, wow" was like the sound of a slot machine spitting out coins.

No. Zero pointed the black muzzle at Cheng Mo, "You are betting."

A white light flashed in the void, and Zero took a big step back and leaned directly against the wall. The wooden chair under his butt broke into two pieces, and with a "click", it hit the floor.

"No one can point a gun at my husband." Athena said coldly.

Zero let go of the handle, and the revolver turned around his fingertips. He threw the pistol away from Cheng Mo, "You must commit suicide and I won't stop you."

Cheng Mo caught the revolver that was almost the same size as a shotgun with both hands, "I have a reason to go."

Zero shook his head, "No matter what the reason, wait quietly until tomorrow, take out your 'Pelvic Lord' and wait until you inherit the position of the 'Second God'?"

"There is a proverb in our Xia Kingdom called 'The night is long and the dreams are many'."

"We Ennoth have a proverb called 'Услужливыйдурокопасневрага'." (An impatient fool is more terrible than an enemy)

Cheng Mo smiled. He tweaked the wheel on the revolver hard, closed his eyes, and identified the position of the wheel without bullets through the sound. He directly stopped the wheel in the grid without bullets. Then he raised the gun confidently and pointed the gun at his temple and pulled the trigger. With a "click", the hammer hit the empty space. The wheel rotated around, and a bullet was loaded. The silver bottom fire with the magic array pattern reflected a glimmer of light from the kerosene lamp.

"I'm not gambling." Cheng Mo put down his gun and said lightly, "If I had the 'Pelix Lord' Nebuchadnezzar, he would give me the second god general, then he would give me the same one day earlier. If he didn't want to give it, even if I took out the 'Pelix Lord' tomorrow, he wouldn't give it. Since that's the case, why do we have to wait?"

Zero leaned against the wall and hesitated for a while before saying, "He is not the one who doesn't keep his word. Athena knows it."

"That's the best. So let's try it. Just make a little joke with the Second God General. He won't mind."

"Your thoughts always catch people off guard."

Cheng Mo threw the revolver to No. 0 again and said seriously: "Although you don't care, I still want to tell you that the reason I have to go is related to my father. I have tried to forget my father's death and try not to face it. I can maintain a peaceful mind at his funeral because I think life and death are just things that people must go through, and as long as I am happy, he will be relieved." He paused for a moment, "Maybe I was right. But as I know more and more, time has made the wounds in my heart deeper and deeper, and I urgently want to know the answer." He said expressionlessly, "No one can stop me."

Zero exclaimed, "Father? This is really a nostalgic name." Then he asked with interest, "What about your mother?"

The words like ice cubes popped out of Cheng Mo's mouth, "I don't know. I'm probably no longer alive."

Zero instead made a "hehe" laugh, and he extended his big hand like a palm-leaf fan to Cheng Mo, "I'm so glad you have the experience of losing your parents."

"This is nothing." Cheng Mo shook hands with Zero, "Most orphans have it."

"Wait a little, why do I think you're saying something strange?" Zero asked strangely, "What is most of it?"

Cheng Mo said seriously: "Some people's fathers may still be alive, but he just doesn't know it."

Xishi was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Zero inserted the revolver into the holster hanging around his waist, then walked to the bed and picked up the tactical leather vest thrown on the bed and put it on, "Let's go! Let's see if we can help you, the orphan, find a stepfather."

"This joke is not funny at all."

"If the king wants to, you should be glad."

Cheng Mo whispered, "That's not necessarily true." He turned around and pushed open the wooden door, "I have to get something before I go, something that belongs to me."

December 31, 2024.

Beijing time, 10 pm.

The No. 3 fleet, which had been circled around a long circle, passed through most of the Northeast Pacific Ocean safely and reached the sea area where it could launch an attack on Weiyi Island.

Bai Xiuxiu and a group of commanders began to determine the entire attack plan again in the combat command room. They had deduced the entire process countless times in these three days, and each step was well-versed. The only thing to agree on now is the specific attack time.

"It's 4:07:00 on Weiyi Island. There are still two to three hours left before dawn." Li Yuankai looked around and said, "The most suitable time is early morning and evening, which is relatively better. On New Year's Day, people at Star Gate are not allowed to celebrate and set off fireworks or something. But the problem is that it means that we have to stay at sea for about fourteen hours, which will greatly increase the risk of exposure."

"There is no need to wait, just early in the morning!" said Wei Xingyu, the first-level commander. "The battle situation changes rapidly. This position is under the nose of the Star Gate. It is too difficult not to be discovered. If it is discovered, it will be a loss to the wife and the soldiers."

"Now there are still 1,700 kilometers away from Weiyi Island, and it has not reached the combat radius of our J-35. Even if we drive for another two hours and enter the combat radius of 1,500 kilometers, it is still a little farther. We have left too little combat space for us. If we can still get closer to a few hundred kilometers, it would be better!" Liu Tong said, "There is another point that taking off now exceeds our combat radius, so we have almost no operating space. Wait for two or three hours to take off and arrive at Weiyi Island, and you may miss the best attack time."

"To be honest, it would be a miracle that we can reach this position smoothly. If we continue moving forward, we will have to wait for fourteen hours, which is really no different from sending death."

"But it's too hasty to launch an attack now. What's more, our Selected Forces have not yet reached the attack position, so it's not certain whether it can destroy the defense system of Weiyi Island and directly allow the Air Force to fight together. It's a bit too demanding? If there is a mistake in cooperation, all the efforts will be wasted!"

"Where is such a perfect plan? No matter what, there is a guaranteed attack now, and it is impossible to lose all the particles. If we are discovered in these fourteen hours, it will not only be wasted all our efforts, but nothing will be saved and the entire army will be wiped out!"

Bai Xiuxiu knew that this was a dilemma. The former was safe, but the upper limit of return was very low; the latter had extremely high risks, but the upper limit of return was extremely high. Let Nuwa deduce based on the estimation data, and the results were different each time.

He chose to launch an attack in the early morning. Only 175 out of ten thousand times successfully destroyed the Star Gate's command center in Weiyi Island, and only two times completely paralyzed the role of Weiyi Island's hub.

He chose to launch an attack at night, and in 163 of the 10,000 times, he was not discovered at night. Then in these 63 times, he successfully destroyed the command center of Weiyi Island, but in 124 times, he completely paralyzed the role of Weiyi Island as a hub.

It is just that destroying the Star Gate command center is far less important than completely paralyzing the role of Weiyi Island hub.

Faced with such a difficult problem, perhaps God doesn’t know what to do.

Bai Xiuxiu was also in a dilemma. She was not a person who was good at taking risks. Although she had taken many risks before and survived. But this time the responsibility was even more serious. It is no exaggeration to say that the fate of the entire GJ and MZ was now pressing on her shoulders.

She had to make a decision.

This is not her own paradise and hell.

It belongs to everyone.

After thinking hard, Bai Xiuxiu decided to believe in her luck, "I think since we have reached this point, we will calm down and wait." She pointed to Yameijia's direction, "The plane of Star Gate must be in the southwest to investigate, so we will continue to move east until noon, and then turn back." She gritted her teeth, "Everyone is always ready, if you don't succeed, you will be successful."

Bai Xiuxiu opened her mouth, and the other commanders no longer had any objections and began to plan the route and arrange defense. Bai Xiuxiu handed over all the affairs to Li Yuankai, and she would take the submarine to Weiyi Island with the cracked "Star Gate Portal".

This time it is another life-threatening task.
