NieR: Whirlpool

Chapter 349 The Weight of the World

Ding ding,

"Sir... is that you..."

"Ah... Robert..."

"Sir...it's you. I knew you were still alive..."

"Hehe, I may not survive today..."

"Sir! You..."

"Robert, launch command:

DF-11 nuclear missile, one shot, coordinates: my location."

"gentlemen!?"

"Excuting an order!"

“…Yes, sir!…”

…………

A huge mushroom cloud rose above the sea in the west.

A huge shock wave swept in all directions, and the buildings in its path were completely destroyed as if they were made of paper.

The broken bridge was crushed to pieces, and the ruined steel factory was reduced to ruins under the impact.

Giant trees were uprooted and set on fire.

A large amount of sea water evaporated instantly and the steel was vaporized instantly.

The mushroom-shaped clouds rushed straight into the stratosphere, and the white rain clouds were in the shape of rings, floating outside the mushroom umbrella.

Invisible electromagnetic pulses spread outward at the speed of light, destroying all electronic equipment within a radius of tens of kilometers.

On the hill in the east, several resistance fighters stood on the ground;

They took off their military caps and looked solemnly at the rising sun in the west.

In the open space nearby, A2 and 11B were receiving treatment.

The rest of the people knelt on the ground, staring blankly in the same direction.

The tear marks on his face had long since dried.

10H lay on the ground with her eyes closed and a smile on her face.

In his only remaining right hand, he tightly grasped a small blood-stained flower.

The small flowers faintly flashed red and white fluorescence.

Eventually, it faded completely.

“It’s raining~~~”

I don’t know who shouted,

Raindrops suddenly fell from the sky, dirty raindrops kept falling, mercilessly landing on everyone's faces.

It seems so cold.

"yes……"

“It hasn’t rained for years…”

There was a rumbling sound behind me.

Everyone turned around and looked.

In the center of the city, on top of the huge white tower,

A giant rocket is slowly rising into the sky, leaving behind an orange-yellow tail flame.

The earth is shaking.

The main structure of the white tower collapsed and cracks appeared.

Eventually it collapsed completely and fell to the ground.

Pascal, who was planting flowers in the village, heard the noise, slowly raised his head, and stared at the rocket in the sky in a daze.

The animals on the lawn heard the noise and also looked up.

The mechanical life forms scattered in the corners of the city all raised their heads and looked at this strange scene.

The rocket rose higher and higher until it became a point of light.

finally,

Completely disappeared into the horizon.

In the center of the city, there appeared a 200-meter-high mountain of steel and concrete ruins.

It is surrounded by endless hills.

Annie Morning turned around and glanced at everyone with a lonely look.

"go back!"

……

The car and the HO fighter plane stopped steadily on the open ground.

Everyone slowly jumped off the vehicle.

They were all covered in dust and looked listless, supporting each other.

Auxiliary machines 042 and 153 respectively carried A2 and 11B, who were not in danger for the time being, and also silently followed behind the crowd, slowly floating towards the camp.

Anne Morning, who was standing at the end of the team, looked at the faces of the crowd and sighed deeply.

"Hey!"

Hear her call,

Everyone turned their heads and looked sideways.

"Temporarily lift the drinking ban!"

After saying this, she waved her hand.

A man walked out of the camp.

Sitting gently on the lawn, his eyes looked extremely lonely.

"Everyone, please disperse!"

The bearded uncle waved his hand and drove away all the people who were standing there.

"Miss Anne..."

The bearded uncle stared for a while.

Finally he shook his head and turned away.

"Send A2 and 11B to the medical room." 21O directed the pod to the medical room.

"Everyone, please go back and rest first."

After hearing this, everyone walked towards the dormitory dejectedly.

"Hey!

Everyone……

Try to live..."

Hearing this, the three sisters looked dim.

It was like a flash of light.

They left slowly without saying anything.

Divara and Popola followed behind, walking into the medical room one after the other.

The assistive device gently placed the two people on the white hospital bed and floated silently beside them.

"Now we can take care of the wound..."

Popola spoke, nudging Divara.

Divara, who had a dull look in her eyes, was pushed.

Turning his head, he looked at Popola with confused eyes.

"what happened?"

"Treat A2 and 11B." Popola said softly.

"Oh……"

Divara walked towards the operating table and picked up a plate containing medical equipment.

He walked towards the bed with a dull look in his eyes.

"Hey……"

Popola and 21O looked at each other, reluctantly shaking their heads.

Bobo La took the metal plate from Divara and gently placed it beside the bed.

Then he gently stroked Divara's head:

"Go back and take a rest."

"Oh……"

Divara responded nonchalantly and slowly walked out of the room.

"This girl..."

Watching Divara's receding back, 21O sniffed and sighed softly.

then,

She looked at the auxiliary machine 042 beside her:

"Follow her, don't let her do anything stupid."

Pod 042 glanced at 153 and said:

"learn."

"Wait, 153, you can't go." Popola stretched out her hand to stop the auxiliary machine 042 following behind 153.

"Uh...I understand!"

042 lost, then leaned over to 153's ear,

I don't know what he was saying, and then he floated away quietly.

"153..."

21O called softly, "Come and help."

"learn!"

"11S..."

In the data space of 21O, a heavy, muddy rain began to fall.

11S sat blankly on the chair made of data.

He raised his head slightly and stared into the void, with his hands clasped together at his knees, quietly feeling the rain washing over him.

【9M……】

[We are both scanning models, what is your advantage? 】

【You do this, and we look stupid. 】

[Isn’t it…?]

[I haven't been defeated by many people in my life. 9S is one of them, and you are one of them. ]

[If I have the chance to meet you again, I will definitely recognize you as my big brother! ]

【Have a safe trip! 】

11S, who was in a state of confusion, quickly sat up from the bench when he heard 21O's call.

"Miss Communications Officer? You're calling me."

"Yes..." 21O said softly.

"You...don't be sad anymore..."

11S racked his brains, not knowing how to dissuade her, so he could only comfort her in a helpless manner.

Hearing this, 21O smiled bitterly:

“It’s nothing.

Come help. "

"okay……"

……

the other side,

Divara returned to the underground garage alone and silently.

Looking at the 'fruits of labor' that Bobo La and I had worked on for more than 20 days,

She couldn't help laughing out loud.

【Unexpectedly,】

[My angry words turned out to be a prophecy. ]

[It’s ridiculous! ]

She hummed a little tune and walked briskly.

Go to the shelf and grab an EMP weapon.

Looking at it carefully in my hand.

[It is said that a long time ago, there was a man named Nobel who lit the fuse in his room to test the power of dynamite and stood aside to observe the effect of the explosion. ]

[Then I…]

Thinking of this, she suddenly became very happy.

then,

He aimed the EMP weapon at himself.

Press the charging trigger.

Then he pulled the trigger.

Zizzizi~~~

Violent electric sparks burst out of her body, her body twitched constantly, her legs went limp, and she collapsed to the ground.

After an unknown amount of time, her body returned to normal.

Looking at the crude EMP weapon in her hand, she couldn't help but sneer:

"It's nothing! It doesn't hurt or itch."

"So, you can't blame me."

She chuckled.

His eyes suddenly became fierce.

He aimed the EMP weapon at himself again.

This time, she aimed at her core.

Gently depress the charging trigger.

The EMP weapon at the muzzle emits white light,

It gradually became brighter until it illuminated the entire room.

"It'll be okay..."

She chuckled and suddenly pulled down the finger on the trigger.
