Chapter 961

After the dark nest base was blown up, Dr. Shawna was "invited" to Phoenix. As for the army and staff of the former parliament, they were sent to the blue light mountain and handed over to Leo. Dr. Shawna was very angry after Nero's ability disappeared. Zero did not keep him in a dungeon, but arranged him with an independent room. In addition to restrictions on freedom, Dr. Shawna's treatment was good, as a prisoner.

"How's your wound?" Douglas asked as he walked down the street in Phoenix.

Zero moved his shoulder and said, "it's almost good. It's estimated that there should be no problem fighting."

Douglas smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said, "looking at you, I feel old."

"Young people have vitality, while old people have wisdom, so you see, the world is sometimes quite fair."

"You can make the old man happy." Douglas shook his head, suddenly stopped and said, "zero, how much do you think we have to win."

"Although oglock is the top player of level 12, you and Leo. Plus Paul and instructor kario, I think..."

"I'm not talking about the old Ogg," Douglas blinked. "It's procius. Do you think we can do that?"

He paused and asked, "do you want to hear the truth?"

"Of course."

With a wry smile, zero said, "the chance is very small. You can think that we want to fight the creator. Of course, we are the creator of another planet, but it won't be any worse. For example, we are like a group of ants trying to overthrow an elephant."

"That's a vivid metaphor," Douglas said. "It sounds like death. Do I want to thank you for your explanation?"

Zero shook his head and smiled: "I said the chance is very small, so it doesn't mean that we have no hope. Prochus is very weak now, which can be seen from the fact that he didn't launch a purge of the whole planet at the first time after it appeared. You know, he was not so kind to Atlantis. But every day, he will restore some strength. So we should end the war as soon as possible, and then Find its location and use all your strength to deal with him. There's still some hope. "

"It sounds like I don't think it's easy to retire," Douglas sighed.

"That's because the world still needs you," zero said.

The old man shook his head, looked at zero and said, "no, the world needs you. There are young people like you. You are the hope of the world. As for us, we just want to provide some afterglow of hope for the world."

"Come on, let's see Shawna."

When I came to Shawna's residence, I heard a sound of falling things and Shawna's angry cry. Zero shrugged: "the doctor's mood has been unstable."

Zero nodded to the two soldiers outside the door, and the soldiers opened the door. Douglas went in. There was a cup in front of him. He quickly reached out and grabbed it and said, "Shawna, is that how you treat your old friend?"

With that, he winked at zero outside the door. Zero smiled and left. Douglas walked to the living room, and the door behind him closed again. Dr. Shaw's hair was messy and his eyes were full of filaments. He was still angry just now. Now he saw Douglas quiet and said, "you're coming."

"Here I am."

"Then tell your little friend to let me go," said Shawna.

Douglas shook his head, smiled and said, "you know that's impossible. Shawna, how many years have we not seen each other?"

"I haven't seen you since you got out of Parliament."

"You are still so angry."

Shawna shouted, "of course, I watched two best friends turn against each other. Do you think I can be happy?"

"Well, Shawna, I left because I didn't agree with Ogg. That's the same today."

"So what are you going to do now?" Shawna said. "Let me guess, are you going to attack Yongye city with your little friend and prove you're right?"

"Am I wrong?"

"Must what Ogg did be wrong?"

The two old men were tit for tat and stared at each other. A moment later, Douglas shook his head and said, "Shawna, I don't want to attack Yongye city. I just want to persuade Ogg to stop. Now I'm here. I just hope you can help me, help me, and persuade ogg."

"That's funny." Shawna patted himself on the chest. "Old man, I'm Dr. Shawna from eternal night city. Now I'm sober, so I know what loyalty is and which is my friend."

Douglas said loudly: "But I know what righteousness is, and I also know it's time to make the right choice. Look at the world with your eyes, old man. Isn't the blood shed by this war enough? How many soldiers lie on the battlefield forever, how many people are displaced because their homes are destroyed? How many people can't see their relatives back? Shawna, the world is crying!"

Shawna sneered, "I didn't know you were a poet."

Douglas's eyes lit up, but he slowly turned away: "I'm not a poet. I only know some truth. Well, you say Ogg is a friend. So, Shawna, do you know that Ogg used the resources of Parliament to do some private things?"

"You mean the dark nest? I think it's understandable that Ogg is a genius, and genius is always difficult for others to understand. So he has to use some means, that's all." Shawna shrugged.

"Well, you know a lot," Douglas asked "Do you know how the war came about? Now let me tell you, it was planned by Ogg. He directed and acted in a play. We didn't attack the shadow capital at all. It was all planned by Ogg himself. As for the evidence, the law enforcement team of your parliament should be able to give you the answer you need."

Shawna's body shook and lost his voice: "it's impossible."

"Believe it or not, this is the case," Douglas said "The shadow city was a subordinate city of your Parliament at that time, but what happened? Shawna didn't hesitate to wash his city with his own blood in order to give an excuse to start a war. Do you think such behavior deserves the word loyalty? A person who can sacrifice a city and thousands of civilians, even his own soldiers and troops, for his own ambition. Such a person , have you decided to defend him? "

"I can tell you that I will go to the city of eternal night tomorrow. Besides zero, Leo and some other members of Parliament will go with me. They need Ogg to give an answer." Douglas slowed down his voice and said, "so do you still think Ogg is right? If so, I have nothing to say."

Shawna bowed his head and remained silent.

Douglas sighed and turned away. When he came to the door, Shawna suddenly said, "take me when you start tomorrow."

"Yes."

Douglas opened the door. In the room, Shawna said, "Ben, if only time could go back. Think about the days when we all came together to save the world. It's really beautiful to struggle for the same dream."

"Unfortunately, time will not go back. And even if it goes back, the outcome will not change," Douglas said, and then gently closed the door.

Seeing the door closed, Shawna sighed heavily. But Douglas continued, "but now, some young people have inherited our dreams and worked hard for them. So you see, the world is not too bad. Isn't it, old man?"

Shawna's face flashed across his mind, and then he smiled, "it's not too bad."

He got up from his seat, opened the refrigerator and poured himself pregnant wine. But he didn't drink it. He just shook his glass and looked at it so quietly. The amber liquid in the glass was fluctuating like this turbulent world.

The same liquid shaking in the glass reflected a zero face. He was now in a bar in Phoenix, but when he left Shauna's house, he was hit by Maple and pulled to the bar.

After drinking a glass of brandy, Haiwei blushed, vomited the wine, knocked the glass heavily on the table and said, "head, I'm going to Yongye city tomorrow."

Zero said with a smile, "wait until you wake up."

"Say what, it's just a glass of wine. Can I get drunk? Can I..." before he finished, he fell on the table, and then hummed and slept like a little lion.

Yelu made a helpless expression, picked up Haiwei and said, "I'll take her back."

"Night Ryu, you have to watch Phoenix when I'm away." zero said.

Yelu nodded and didn't speak. He picked up Haiwei and walked out of the bar. As soon as the black haired girl left the front foot, Brown came in. The big man sat down, patted the wine table and said to the bartender, "give me a bottle of strong enough, don't give me those sissy things."

Then he beat his shoulder and said, "you don't know. Those boys are more tired than me when I play."

Although the troops in dawning city did not take action this time, Brown insisted on intensive training for those soldiers every day, which is also zero acquiescence. After all, after dealing with oglock, they have to face prosius. It is better for these soldiers to be tired now than to lose their lives on the battlefield in the future.

The bartender brought a bottle of spirits. Just about to pour it into the glass, brown grabbed it. He unscrewed the bottle cap and poured it into his mouth. He really drank the wine as water.

The maple beside him shook his head: "man, be careful to die drunk in the wine."

"It's all right, that's a little fun." Brown looked at zero again and said, "well, I'm going to Yongye city tomorrow."

At zero o'clock, brown waved his fist and said, "give that shit speaker a good beating. That old boy made me lose a lot of people."

"I'm not the main character of the next play, I'm just going to watch it." zero staller said and said, "well, I have to get up early tomorrow, so I won't go crazy with you. Su and Feng, you two don't get too late. Remember to assemble on time."

Patted brown on the shoulder and said, "drink less wine."

"Hehe, I see." Brown took a big gulp, stuffed the bottle in and said he didn't drink.

Zero left the bar. When he returned to his residence, he saw that the light in the bedroom was still on. He opened the door and Leah was leaning against the bed, reading a book. Books are also a luxury for this era. After all, there are few books left after the great disaster. The cover of the book in Leah's hand has turned yellow, but there is no doubt about its value.

Of course, value is relative. If it falls into the hands of those who appreciate it, the book may be replaced with food for a year. Otherwise, it will be just a stack of waste paper.

"What are you looking at?" zero asked.

"Count of Monte Cristo, written by Dumas, a French writer in the old times. General Morgan lent it to me. You see, Edmund, the protagonist in it, was framed, but was blessed with misfortune and finally got a lot of wealth. It's good." Leah said sincerely.

"That's just a novel." zero shrugged. He squatted down by the bed, put his ear on Leah's belly and said, "you should sleep. More sleep is good for the baby."

"He loves to move," Leah said with a smile full of gentle maternal love.

Zero took off her book, patted her on the pillow and let Leah sleep. He sat by the bed and gently combed Leah's hair with his hand: "tomorrow I'm going to eternal night city, or I'll let someone take you back to dawn city. You can help Bess deal with some chores in the city. As for the important work, I'll leave it to theon."

"It's not that I won't see you for a while," Leah said reluctantly.

"Yes, but for the sake of our children, you are obedient. Besides, you can keep company with Bess." said zero softly.

Leah nodded and said, "well, listen to you."

He looked out of the window and said, "I don't know what happened to Cinderella?"

Zero kissed her on the forehead and said, "one day, we will meet. Now, go to bed."

"Yes, sir."

Leah turned over and fell asleep. Zero took a bath, put on his clothes, lay on the bed and just held Leah. In this age, it is also a kind of happiness to embrace each other and fall asleep.

When the body clock reaches the preset point, zero opens his eyes. In fact, for people who have evolved a split brain, sleep is actually dispensable. However, as long as there are conditions, zero will not give up this right to be an ordinary person. It was still early. Leia was still sleeping and didn't wake her up. He changed his clothes and left his house. First he found Brown.

Brown has got up and is doing strength training with the soldiers on the training ground. Seeing that zero came, he shouted to the soldier, "if you continue to practice, who dares to be lazy, be careful that I smoke you."

Then he went to zero: "head, what can I tell you?"

"Nothing. Find some reliable people today. Call out some people from Jinglei and send Leah back to dawn city."

"Don't worry about small things. I'll do it."

Zero clapped on the shoulder and turned away. Back to the command building, Feng and Su have arrived at the door of the building. The three didn't go upstairs either, so they sat down in the lobby downstairs. A moment later, Douglas and Dr. shawner came together. Seeing Shawna, zero nodded to Douglas and said, "can we go?"

"OK, let's go."

Early that morning, the army outside Phoenix pulled out. The Yingling hall is basically dispatched by the whole army. The five legions form a joint army and drive towards the eternal night city. The army is like a long dragon on the coastline Road, with no end at all. It is a few kilometers long. In addition to Saul and other leaders, including Douglas, algart heavyweights are basically among them.

At the same time, a motorcade also drove out of the blue light mountain. However, the motorcade was not long, and there were only five cars at the beginning and end, but there were important figures of the ogudus family in the car.

Parliament's army has returned to the city of eternal night first, but the army is still under Leo's control. The army will stop near the eternal night city and will not enter the eternal night city until the army of the Yingling hall arrives.

At this time, Yongye city still has a calm atmosphere. Those who know the big changes are already ready. Those who are not qualified to know the news will still start a new day at the usual pace.

Xiuya returned to prison No. 1. After learning that the dark nest base was destroyed, she returned with Zuo Fei secretly. The whole process went on silently, and the prison guards seemed completely unaware that she had been away for some time. It is obvious that Zuo Fei has also spent a lot of resources behind his back.

Still in the morning, Xiuya heard a burst of footsteps outside. It's reasonable to say that even if it's a guard, it's not time to patrol. I don't know who's coming. When he saw the lonely figure outside the door, Xiuya made a sign and said, "father, you..."

Oglock, the speaker of the dark Council, was standing outside the door with a crutch. He looked at Xiuya for a minute, then turned into a sigh and said, "come out, boy."

Xiuya broke out in a cold sweat. In this minute, she just felt as if she had been thrown into the polar ice ocean. Oglock's cold murderous gas filled the whole cell. Fortunately, he finally took it back. So Xiuya knew that he had learned about his departure.

At this moment, Xiuya is facing a choice. He broke through the wall and ran away. After a little hesitation, she bit her teeth and walked out of the cell.

Oglock nodded: "you did the right thing. If you just chose to run away, I can only kill you. No matter how much I like you."

Xiuya suddenly knelt down, hugged oglock's leg and said, "I'm sorry, father."

"Xiuya, if I give you a new choice for a while, will you still leave?"

Xiuya thought, didn't speak, just nodded. Then he said, "I always think that only in this way can I help you."

"Well, you are worthy of being my child. Carry out your faith, even if others think you are wrong. If not, what is the difference between you and the crowd?" oglock shouted, with joy in his voice.

But the more so, Xiuya's heart sank deeper and deeper. Because she knew that oglock might not change his mind.
