The dimly lit manager's office.
The pale blue fluorescent light flickered, illuminating three silent faces. After the screen shook for a while, it was aimed at a power armor sitting against the wall.
The man looked embarrassed.
There were bullet holes on the armor, as well as black mucus left by the fruiting body of the slime mold.
He put the camera on the ground, greeted the camera, and then tapped the helmet with his index finger to unlock the locked mask.
A few minutes ago, the employees of the enterprise almost fought with the entourage of the legion, but fortunately Meng Liang was quick-witted and shouted out the doubts he found before the two of them clashed - there might be someone else trying to repair the deleted data.
This discovery finally allowed the enterprise and the legion to temporarily put aside the dispute and decided to catch the little mouse hiding in the gutter first.
In order to get more clues, Su Ming thought of the hard drive that was recovered from the power armor. Although he was a little hesitant about whether to show Captain Lu's last words in front of the Legion and the Alliance, he finally handed it to Meng Liang.
Public information can reduce suspicion.
He didn't know whether there were any secrets in the hard drive that could not be revealed to others, but now was not the time to fight with the Legion's people and lose both sides.
He believed that Team Yun would understand his decision...
Pangolin didn't say anything, but just temporarily handed the weapon to Meng Liang and signaled Su Ming to do the same.
The Alliance is an ally of the enterprise.
Handing the weapon to the non-combatants of the Alliance was his sincerity.
Su Ming looked at Pangolin in surprise, and then showed his sincerity and simply handed the gun to Meng Liang.
The two sides tacitly put aside the conflict and stood quietly in front of the holographic video, revealing the unknown secrets that happened in this shelter a few months ago...
"Hey, when you see this video, I'm probably no longer in this world... But I believe you will come, you said you won't give up on anyone, I believe you will find me, so I decided to leave something behind."
Meng Liang has never seen the man in the video, but looking at the heavy expressions of Su Ming and Pangolin, it seems that he is not unfamiliar with him.
Strange.
I don't even know this guy, why do the people in the legion know him.
But he didn't want to interrupt.
The video may contain clues about the Torch Project.
He only wants to figure out one thing now, who is the person who is restoring those technologies in Area X-13.
Lu Yang took a breath and said after sorting out his thoughts for a moment.
"Listen carefully, the Torch Project is not a good thing, and the so-called Shelter 0 is even less so. It is a weapon of mass destruction, and its power exceeds the combined power of all weapons known to our civilization, and covers the entire planet."
"That is not something that can be described by one or two nuclear weapons. The highly penetrating neutron plume will destroy all life forms in the sky and on earth, and even the shelters buried deep underground will not be spared. Don't think that you will be a lucky one in a million. People killed by it will not even rot, but will only slowly oxidize, because it will eliminate the bacteria attached to the dust, and the entire ecosystem will start all over again... Doesn't this sound terrible?"
"On the entire planet, only those who are protected by the 'handle' have a chance to survive. I even suspect that the handle should be the neutron plume released. 's center."
"I don't know if the data is complete, but I have deleted them all... A strategic weapon that sweeps across the entire planet does sound cool, but when I think of my relatives, friends, and those who are trying to survive on this planet, I can't be happy at all."
"Maybe in the distant future, we will need it to punish some kind of evil, but definitely not now... If it is developed now, it can only be used on ourselves."
"By the way, the group of guys who call themselves the Enlightenment Society tried to bribe me. They said they could give me 10,000 places. All of us, including our relatives, friends, and even our descendants, can become gods of the new world. They will use the fruits of the prosperous era to create a new world. The world will reshape into a strong and great civilization. "
"I told him that you are dreaming. Our fathers made the decision to stand with tens of thousands of displaced survivors two centuries ago. The descendants of heroes may not be so great, but there are definitely no cowards... Dream your sweet dreams."
"I pushed them to the edge and deleted the research results of the Torch Project, but unfortunately I couldn't get rid of all those rats... They turned against us too suddenly, and when they turned against us, many of them stayed in Area X-13 with our non-combatants to collect supplies. They locked the door to Area X-13 from the inside, and Reed and his men were probably in danger."
"Later I realized that the conflict between us and the Weylandts was deliberately provoked by them. But there is no way, who wants that "Those Weirants came all the way to fight us before we entered the desert? I thought those war maniacs were coming for us."
"Actually, it's not impossible to leave, but there are still those disciples of the Enlightenment in Area X-13 that have not been dealt with. My technician told me before he died that the data I deleted can be restored, especially the archive room in Area X-13 can be connected to the main server of the shelter, unless I destroy the entire shelter."
"I found the wreckage of the Pioneer, took out the mother nest sample recovered during the previous journey, and threw it on its favorite reactor. Later, I will leave my equipment and my experience to the little guy to ensure that the destruction plan is foolproof... It's a pity that there is no nuclear warhead, otherwise I can do it more thoroughly."
Lu Yang paused, leaned his head against the wall, and continued to talk to himself.
"...I really can't delete the original Torch Project. I tried my best. But then I thought about it and realized that there is no need to erase even the traces of its existence. "
"That plan records not only an evil idea, but also many people who stood up against it. They were deceived, but finally woke up. They withstood the pressure from the elites and dignitaries of that era, refused to be bribed by money and power, and made the choice to be loyal to themselves, their relatives, friends, and everyone around them. "
"I think their stories should not be forgotten, and the light that bloomed at that moment should be recorded. I believe that people who read it will not only see the most evil side - our world was almost pushed to the brink of destruction by a small group of eloquent egoists, but also many ordinary people who bravely stood up and said no. "
"At least I saw not only the conspiracy of one group of people, but also the courage of another group of people. At least the latter should not be buried. "
"As for mistakes...there is nothing to be afraid of. People make mistakes all their lives. Write down the mistakes you have made in your diary, even if you occasionally regret it, and the future will become better. "
"Ahem! Haha, I've said some nonsense. I probably won't have a chance to write a diary... Anyway, our adventure ends here."
When he said this, Lu Yang coughed twice, but a trace of relief appeared on his face, and he felt much more relaxed.
"... I don't regret chasing a pile of shit for so long. Someone has to go and see what it is. The buried mines are much more terrible than the bombs on the ground. I want to say to my companions that I am honored to accompany you for so long, and I am also honored that at the end of everything, I have the honor to be with a group of brave people and make the same brave decision as the people in the past."
"Finally, please bring a message to the residents of Ideal City for me."
He grinned, squeezed out a relaxed smile on his tired face, and said his final goodbye to the camera of the action recorder.
"That shelter No. 0, my brothers and I have found it for you, but it's a pity that it is not the paradise rumored. The rumors on the endpoint cloud are all bullshit. It's just a pile of shit. "
"Don't have unrealistic fantasies. There is no shortcut on this road. Our world will eventually depend on ourselves. Those who are still watching the excitement and waiting for the savior... it's time to wake up."
...
On the ground.
The battle has just entered a white-hot stage.
A 400mm heavy artillery roared down, and boiling smoke and flames rose into the sky.
A crater like an abyss was imprinted on the ruins everywhere, dividing the battlefield and completely cutting off the thoughts of these disciples of the Enlightenment to retreat.
The deafening shouts of killing broke through the roar of artillery fire, like magma erupting from a volcano, sweeping through the middle of the camp.
The disciples of the Enlightenment who stood in front of the Wolf Cavalry of the Death Corps were like ants on the beach. They were smashed to pieces by the surging waves with just one contact.
On this battlefield full of ruins, the primitive cavalry troops were equipped in the near future. Under the armed force of the cavalry, an unparalleled impact force broke out.
The "cavalry lance" that fired 20mm armor-piercing incendiary bullets was no less lethal than the Gauss rifle that could over-penetrate soft targets in the confrontation.
Facing more than a hundred cavalrymen firing at the same time, the disciples of the Enlightenment Society in the front row were blown to pieces with just one contact.
And when the half-meter-long claws and hot breath rushed to their faces, a cruel and bloody nightmare had just begun.
More than 20 teams serving as the vanguard were instantly overwhelmed by the iron hooves of the Death Claw.
The support troops in the last row were even more tragic, with at least hundreds of disciples dying under the counterfire of the 400mm main gun.
Cooperating with the vanguard Xiao The drone formation that entered the field to harvest was even more miserable. Before it could play a role, it was hit by the EMP rocket launcher fired by the soldiers of the 26th Commando of the Enterprise, and fell to the ground like dumplings.
In the boiling flames, a disciple struggled to stand up from the ruins, raised the Gauss rifle in his hand, aimed at the azure power armor, gritted his teeth and pressed the charging switch.
As long as he killed that guy——
The capacitor is charged!
Without a moment's hesitation, he decisively pulled the trigger.
A bright white arc flashed from the gun barrel, and a tungsten core mass bullet carrying terrifying kinetic energy blasted towards the power armor like lightning.
However, what made him unbelievable was , the man in power armor did not fall off the back of the Death Claw.
The projectile accelerated to several Machs seemed to hit a wall, and drew an arc in front of his hammer and was thrown into the sky.
His eyes shrank violently, and his face was full of surprise and shock.
Deflector shield? !
Impossible...
The phase energy rectifier has suppressed this area, and the academy's research ship cannot take off is the best proof!
But besides the deflector shield, what else can stop the bullets of the Gauss rifle? !
Just as he was panicking, the steel torrent carried by his flesh and blood had already surged in front of him and other disciples beside him.
"Kill!!!" "
The nearly two-meter-long "lance" was inserted with a half-meter-long bayonet, and the cold edge and deafening roar came almost at the same time.
There was no time to retreat, and a bloody mouth biting across his throat, and not far from him, a disciple wearing an exoskeleton was thrown into the air by the front claws of the Death Claw, and the whistling bayonet directly pierced the bulletproof lining on his chest.
It was not only the wolf cavalry of the Death Corps who launched the charge.
There were also those infantrymen who had not tamed their mounts, and nearly a thousand players in total, including the elite of the Burning Corps!
There was not even a chance for the defense line to collapse, and they turned into dust in the horn of the charge...
At the same time, on the research ship anchored at the edge of the battlefield.
Sitting in the cockpit, Yang Kai watched the video sent by the alliance manager over and over again, his eyes lost in thought.
More than ten minutes ago, those guys who called themselves the Enlightenment Society probably used the phase energy rectifier, causing the gravity of this area The operation of the sub-ship was chaotic, and the anti-gravity device and deflector shield were ineffective.
As of the end of the prosperous era, the Human Alliance had not yet found a measure to counter the "phase cannon", and he had no good way to deal with it.
However, Yang Kai was not too worried that he would be in danger.
The disturbance of the gravitational field by the phase cannon lasted for a limited time, and it was impossible to keep him here. The hull was made of solid alloy, and it was difficult for ordinary weapons to damage its structure.
In addition, this research ship carried 500 "bee swarms" and four wolf spider robots. The former could effectively kill soft targets in the area, and the latter could effectively defend against EMP attacks and deal with hard armored targets.
So far, no one has seen the trump card in his hand.
Even his face has not been seen.
At this time, the cabin door behind him opened, and Zheng Hao, wearing an exoskeleton, walked in from the middle cabin of the research ship and said respectfully.
"The battle outside is over... The alliance won. "
He was not too surprised by the Alliance's performance on the battlefield.
Though those people outside were well-equipped, they were not much better than his previous Beacon Team. At least they still had two "swarms" with a range of several kilometers, and high-altitude cruising drones.
And these guys, apart from the phase rectifier that surprised him, had only a few electromagnetic mortars and rocket launchers as support firepower.
If they could rely on these equipment to defeat the Alliance's elite who had just come down from the battlefield, it would only mean that the Alliance had fought in vain for the past few months.
In fact, to be fair, the quality of those weapons themselves was good.
Including some electromagnetic rifles, some of which Zheng Hao could even tell at a glance were the inventory left by the regular army of the Human Alliance.
However, weapons are only tools after all. If they are separated from the combat system that matches them, it is good enough to be able to exert one tenth of the power of the equipment.
If it is a confrontation between small forces, these laymen may still be able to gain the upper hand with the advantages brought by their equipment, but in a systematic confrontation, their shortcomings in war experience and the mismatch between weapons and tactics will soon be exposed.
It is like even if the Falcon Kingdom is given a thousand Gauss rifles, the armies of those feudal kingdoms will not be able to defeat the army of the Alliance on the front battlefield.
The heavy firepower weapons deployed to the support troops were almost fired, and before they could even play a decisive role, they were sent away by the Alliance's counterattack.
Maybe those people really didn't expect that after falling from such a high place, the Alliance's airship had not completely lost its combat effectiveness.
This was also something he didn't expect.
Yang Kai, who was sitting in the chair, nodded, and tapped the touch screen twice with his index finger to remove the alert status of the weapon system.
"You have fought with the people of the alliance. What do you think of their strength?"
Zheng Hao was stunned and thought for a moment.
"They are a group of professional soldiers."
Yang Kai raised his eyebrows.
"Oh?"
Zheng Hao nodded and said seriously.
"Their equipment is not very outstanding, but their use of weapons, adaptation to the environment, understanding of tactics, and on-the-spot reaction on the battlefield are all surprisingly strong. Perhaps it is caused by the turbulent environment of the Valley Province. They are used to fighting opponents who have an advantage in equipment. Once they adapt to the opponent's offensive rhythm, they will soon be able to take the initiative on the battlefield."
"If you want to defeat them, you must fight quickly."
Yang Kai closed his eyes and thought for a while, then made a summary.
"In other words... their special place lies in their experience as a soldier."
"You can say that." Zheng Hao sighed, "They are natural soldiers. I even feel that... they are weapons themselves."
"Got it."
After a pause, Yang Kai suddenly remembered something and continued.
"By the way, is there any news from Jiang Xuezhou?"
Zheng Hao smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Not yet...Excuse me, she is a non-combatant, and it is too much for her to act with a group of players she has never cooperated with."
Yang Kai said indifferently.
"It doesn't matter. I gave her the best equipment. The mechanical dog has excellent output capabilities whether it is close-range street fighting or medium- and long-range firefights, which is enough to make up for her shortcomings in combat effectiveness."
Zheng Hao was silent for a while and said in a low voice.
"What if the threat comes from other things..."
Yang Kai frowned.
"For example?"
Zheng Hao glanced out the window silently.
"For example, those."
You may encounter anything in the ruins.
Most of the time, it is alien species or slime molds. Occasionally, you will encounter mutants, predators, and even other unknown armed forces or mercenaries who have set their sights on the ruins.
Unlike most researchers in the Research Department, he has been stuck in the position of D-level explorer for many years, and knows better than anyone how dangerous it is to go deep into an undeveloped ruin.
The biggest danger comes from the unknown.
Even the Human Union itself may not remember how many trump cards it has prepared for the doomsday crisis, not to mention that anything can happen in the past two hundred years.
It's like opening a blind box...
If it were him, he would rather bring two more experienced fighters than a self-propelled artillery that can travel in the tunnel.
Yang Kai thought for a while and nodded.
"Well, this is a problem... But there is no way, Li Ke has only one quota for us, and she is the best candidate."
Zheng Hao sighed.
"We can only pray that she can come back safely."
...
As Zheng Hao reported to Yang Kai, the battle outside has been decided.
Under Chu Guang's command, the wolf riders of the Death Corps spread out to the vicinity, searching for the phase guns that shot down the airship and the remaining enemies nearby.
Thunderstorms interfere equally with communications and aircraft. The commanders who command the disciples to fight and the mind interference personnel who operate the clones will not be too far away from here.
Death Claw is one of the best hunters in the wasteland.
Those behind the scenes can't run too far.
As for the rest of the players, they cleaned up the battlefield.
"Damn! Gauss rifle! Good stuff!" Looking at the guy picked up from the battlefield, the faces of the construction site boy and the brick were full of excitement.
15-type "Python" Gauss rifle!
The probability of winning this thing in the lottery was less than 0.1%, and there were only a few in the whole server. I didn't expect it to be sold wholesale after this game!
In addition to the "Python" rifle, which is specially designed for precision shooters, there are also light machine guns that pursue rate of fire and ammunition capacity, and shellless assault rifles that pursue lightweight design.
Looking at the high-tech weapons scattered all over the ground, almost all the players' eyes glowed green. Several Willant soldiers near the camp were also a little envious, but seeing the fanatical expressions on those guys' faces, they were too embarrassed to pick them up.
It was one thing for the other side to fight the war.
The key was the fanatical attitude towards the spoils. They seriously suspected that if they ran over to join in the fun, they might be sent back sideways by them...
"Hehe, I'll also go sniping in the future." The debt-ridden big eye with two Gauss rifles on his back said with a smile.
The roller shampooer rolled his eyes.
"You are a fucking intelligence system sniper!"
It was just a joke, but when he heard this, the big eye was immediately unhappy.
"What's the matter, the perception system can sniper, why can't I?"
The sheep next to him came over with a playful smile.
"Listen to my advice, you should just play with your drone. Sniper is too complicated, you can't control it, let me, an agile strongman, do it for you-"
"Get lost!" Debt Eyes rolled his eyes vigorously, took off the two guns on his back and held them in his arms, "Don't even think about it!"
The lawless man came over with a bunch of rags, looked at the old men with a smile, and asked while scratching the back of his head.
"Brothers, have you seen the captain?"
Debt Eyes said with a smile.
"You mean Brother Shui? That guy took his little brothers to find the enemy headquarters."
The lawless man was stunned.
"Damn, you don't even want the spoils?"
The boy and the brick waved their hands.
"Oh, it doesn't matter who picks it up."
A serious battlefield is not a fight between bandits, so it is impossible for the spoils to belong to whoever picks them up.
According to the rules for dividing the spoils of encounters in the Player's Handbook, these recovered spoils will be registered by the logistics department in a while.
Except for a small part that will be collected into the alliance's inventory, most of it will be distributed to the players participating in the battle based on the contribution score and the players' own opinions.
As for the contribution score, it is also easy to count.
The role played by each player in the battle and the combat mission undertaken are public.
Players carrying VMs have positioning marks on the battlefield. Combined with the battle video taken by the Hummingbird UAV, it is basically clear who is slacking off and who is not.
In fact, it is impossible to slack off.
Who is willing to slack off in such an interesting thing.
What's more, the general battle video will be edited and filtered and uploaded to the official website. If you really slack off, you will be embarrassed.
On the other side, on the position of the Burning Legion, looking at the exoskeleton fragments on the ground, Lao Liu in the corner couldn't help but mutter.
"Damn, these guys are really well equipped."
Except for the clone soldiers, almost everyone in the rest of the squads has an exoskeleton and a row of grenades on their tactical belts.
EMP mines and fragmentation mines have become standard equipment for these guys.
It just so happens that they are getting a bargain now.
Bai Gei squatted down with a sniper and touched it, and compared it with the exoskeleton he was wearing. The expression on his face was immediately shocked.
"Fuck, this exoskeleton is actually the same model as ours!"
Type 5 "Light Cavalry" police exoskeleton!
It just changed the original black paint to concrete gray camouflage, and then made some detailed adjustments based on the situation in the wasteland.
For example, in order to fight against alien species, the armor of the vulnerable arms and legs was strengthened.
In addition to the Type 5 "Light Cavalry", there are also some exoskeletons that they can't recognize the model, probably similar military models.
Lao Liu in the corner said with a subtle expression.
"I looked at the information on the official website. Most of the members of the Enlightenment Society seem to be residents of the shelters. Some of the shelters seem to have close ties with the Post-War Reconstruction Committee. It doesn't seem strange to have equipment from the Prosperous Era."
"Indeed," Lost Newbie scratched the back of his head and said in confusion, "But it's also strange. Why do these guys come to pick on us when they have nothing to do?"
The prop master shrugged.
"I know?"
"Who knows what they want to do? Maybe there is another hidden story, maybe they are being used by others, but it's none of my business. I never read the plot when playing games. I just do it!"
The Killing Dagger smacked his lips unsatisfiedly.
"I only know that these guys are holding regular army weapons and fighting like fucking rebels... It's too fucking lame."
...
On the other side of the battlefield.
A circle of people gathered around the damaged barracks.
Including Wu Changnian, including the soldiers of the 26th Commando, and Yi Chuan who stood there with a lost look on his face.
Hanging the warhammer on his back, Chu Guang gently patted Niko's neck, signaling it to lower its body, and then turned over and stepped on the ground.
Everyone looked at him in unison.
There was gratitude, fear, but more of it was admiration - especially the boys from the 26th Commando.
They had heard before that the managers of the alliance were very good at fighting, but they didn't expect that this old man was not only good at fighting, but also personally rode on the back of the Death Claw and charged with the soldiers of the alliance.
In comparison, their Deputy Minister Wu was simply too lame. Let alone charging into battle, he was thankful that he was not sent away by stray bullets.
Of course, this was just the immature idea of the boys.
In fact, even if it was a show or had other intentions, it was already a remarkable thing that a high-ranking politician dared to come to this ghost place with them. If you add one more thing, that is, not to dictate the actions of the frontline soldiers and to listen to the opinions of professionals honestly, it is worth burning incense to commemorate.
It is unrealistic to expect a person to be perfect, and no one can do such unreasonable things.
"Thank you for your help!"
Looking at Chu Guang walking towards this side, Wu Changnian clenched his fists emotionally and said in a strong tone.
"This group of... shameless rats dared to fool us with such tricks. The Council will definitely make them pay a heavy price! Any shelter involved in the conspiracy of the Enlightenment will be included in the permanent blacklist! If you have any news about the Enlightenment in the future, please be sure to provide it to us!"
"I will do this. From the moment they chose to trade with mutants, they have betrayed their identity as humans... They are the enemy of all order, no matter what form of order it is."
After a pause, Chu Guang glanced at the reporter not far away, and then looked at Wu Changnian.
"However, I still hope that the media in Ideal City can be as objective as possible when reporting this incident, and not direct the conflict to the entire group of shelter residents... I also hope that this accident will not affect our future cooperation."
The reason why the Enlightenment Society was able to grow and develop is that it took advantage of the hatred of some blue jackets for the order built by the post-war reconstruction committee, the anger at the many survivors in the wasteland, and the despair of the entire wasteland environment, and successfully led them to the extreme of anti-civilization.
If the enterprise, the legion and the academy expand their hostility to the entire group of shelter residents because of the conspiracy of the Enlightenment Society, it will play into the hands of those rats.
Wu Changnian said with a firm tone.
"The residents of Ideal City can distinguish right from wrong, not to mention that our ancestors were also shelter residents. The countermeasures of the Council will not be extended to all shelters. We will make a public statement at the press conference. I can assure you of this!"
He knew what Chu Guang was worried about, but this worry was completely unnecessary.
The Alliance itself is not an alliance that belongs only to the residents of the shelter, but a collective jointly established by the residents of the shelter and the wastelanders.
Even if the residents of Ideal City are prejudiced against the blue coats, they will not vent their anger on the Alliance.
Chu Guang nodded slightly.
"I hope so."
He also believes in his allies, just in case he says something extra.
To be realistic, the triumph is imminent.
He doesn't want those rats who are doing small tricks behind the scenes to affect the victory fruits that his little players have won with countless resurrection coins.
After chatting with Deputy Minister Wu for a few words, Chu Guang walked into the half-collapsed barracks. When passing by the door, he patted Yi Chuan's shoulder comfortingly.
"... Maybe my brother is still down there." Staring straight at the bed, Yi Chuan suddenly murmured in a low voice, "At least this is a clone..."
Chu Guang didn't know how to answer, so he didn't speak.
He knew very well that Yi Hai was dead.
But he couldn't say it.
That would neither soothe a person's sadness nor increase unnecessary suspicion. Giving him some time to recover might be the most gentle approach.
Looking at "Yi Hai" lying motionless on the bed, letting a group of doctors ponder, Chu Guang thought for a moment and said in a very soft voice.
"I have always believed that memory is the foundation of a person."
"Not only your own memory, but also the memory of others... This kind of mutual cognition together constitutes our social attributes."
"Including worldview, values, and even self-awareness... are all built on the basis of memory, so it can be said that memory is equivalent to a person's soul."
"So some people will not disappear from this world even if they die. We will continue to move forward with the memory of them, and they will accompany us in another form."
"Thinking that reading a person's memory can completely replace him or even become him, this naive idea is simply stupid, arrogant and ridiculous."
"You have never succeeded in replacing anyone's position in this world, even for a second... You just took advantage of the feelings of some people and temporarily deceived their eyes."
"In any case, you have used technology to desecrate the most inviolable part, so be prepared to bear people's anger."
The man lying on the bed did not speak, and Chu Guang did not expect him to sit up and refute him.
The neural link has been disconnected.
Even if he was invited to the special seat, the coward hiding behind the scenes did not have the courage to see this battle to the end.
It is probably running away with its tail between its legs.
But it doesn't matter.
He has sent out the most elite players to search the nearby area.
Chu Guang looked up at the sky. The black clouds rolling with thunder were slowly moving towards the southern sky.
This special climate phenomenon is not uncommon in the desert. It usually comes and goes quickly. It won't take long for the communication in this area to be restored.
And this desert will also usher in the long-awaited clear weather like other places.
"It's almost over."
