Chapter 41: The Final Battle (2) Allen, I Said Your Father is Dead…
A piercing pain came from his chest, and only then did Bi Lin realize that he had been stabbed through the heart, the blade stained with viscous blood.
Allen’s hand holding the sword was shaking…
“I…” Blood dripped on the side of Allen’s face, but his eyes were innocent and bright.
Allen’s eyes were red, and he released the sword hilt as Bi Lin grabbed his neck and lifted him into the air.
He struggled hard, coughing, his legs kicking wildly.
“Father…” Allen murmured softly, the lack of oxygen in his brain causing him to choke. He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
Tears dripped onto Bi Lin’s hand, scalding and hot. The pulse under his palm gradually weakened, and he coldly uttered a few words: “Allen, I said your father is dead.”
“No… he didn’t… he didn’t abandon me, Father wouldn’t abandon me…” Allen cried uncontrollably.
The scene was chaotic. The head of the Research Institute put away his nonchalant attitude and walked over, hesitating to speak.
Finally, seeing Allen’s pale face, close to death, the head of the Research Institute couldn’t help but say, “Although this is your family matter, Little Allen is about to die. Bi Lin, calm down first, ask clearly before you do anything.”
“And your wound…”
Bi Lin’s heart was as hard as a rock, indestructible, cold and indifferent: “Allen, I said your father is dead.”
“He… didn’t.” Allen didn’t have the strength to struggle, his head drooping to the right, uttering a breathy sound.
“Bi Lin!” The head of the Research Institute frowned, placing a hand on Bi Lin’s shoulder, trying to soothe his restlessness with Connect Spirit.

Gazing at Eternal Night hovering in the sky, Song Ningwan quickly sorted out his thoughts and ran towards the war front.
Along the way, no civilians were fleeing. They were being pressed by armed forces, preparing to face death.
They were terrified as the ground trembled incessantly, but they dared not stop or resist Jian’s orders.
Song Ningwan shouted to stop them: “Run, the entire Upper Trash District is going to collapse! Run!”
No one cared… or rather, they dared not resist. It seemed that disobeying the rules was more terrifying than death.
“Stop fighting, run first!” Song Ningwan tried his best to avoid the cracks opening under his feet, a little disheveled in his despair. The cold wind blew through his hair, brushing his pale cheeks.
Eternal Night couldn’t possibly “shelter” all the people of Upper Trash District. It was already too late to escape.
Even if Ka’lier and Ying were willing to help, it would be useless.
The Lower Trash District civilians who had attacked the front lines expressed incomprehension at this scene.
“What are they doing? Are they not even taking up arms and just coming to die?”
“Bi Lin Jian, come out, why are you being a coward!”
“No, are we being tricked? Look, the ground is shaking…”
The land collapsed drastically under the tremors, filling the hollow interior. Some Upper Trash District people didn’t have time to escape, nor could they quickly think of a strategy, and could only watch helplessly as they were buried under the soil.
Mud poured into their mouths and noses, suffocating them to death, unable to make a sound to call for help.
Why was no one running…
At this rate, everyone would die.
In stark contrast to the Upper Trash District people’s “generous” acceptance of death, the Lower Trash District people were all fleeing in panic.
They were born free, not bound by rules. Even when faced with death, they would fight with all their might for a chance.
Even if Song Ningwan could temporarily build a mech that could accommodate thousands of people, there wouldn’t be enough time, let alone having no materials now.
He lowered his eyes, deeply feeling how pathetic powerlessness was.
“Song Ningwan.”
Hearing someone call his name, Song Ningwan looked up and saw Yuri leading his entire legion to rescue the stranded people, against the light.
Why was Yuri here?
“I am Legion Commander Yuri, under the name of the Jian family of the Upper Trash District, I order you to fight to live.” Yuri held a megaphone and shouted loudly at the numb Upper Trash District people, “Run with all your might! Live, that is the meaning of the head of the household. Isn’t it for the honor of protecting the Upper Trash District? Death is a disgrace, and it will be engraved on the pillar of shame, so your descendants can see it clearly!”
Someone questioned themselves: “Really? We are to live?”
Across the distance, Song Ningwan met Yuri’s eyes. In that instant, the wind stopped, and the mountains stood still, silent and desolate.
“Yes, there is hope in living.” Song Ningwan’s mind was filled with thoughts.
“Living?” People’s hearts began to waver, seemingly seriously considering the truth of his words.
“You don’t believe me, but don’t you believe Legion Commander Yuri? He is the most trusted person by the head of the Jian family… Stop talking nonsense, run!” Song Ningwan said.
At this time, Yuri had already clearly assigned the legion’s tasks. The first wave of super-powerful earthquakes had not yet ended, and the ground was already riddled with holes.
“Those who are still alive, follow me.” Yuri had the legion talk to the Jian family’s internal armed forces. Fortunately, they were all soldiers and would not disregard life.
When Yuri came, he brought dozens of small mechs, which were now parked, and the legion began to lead the survivors onto the mechs. The originally chaotic scene was being managed in an orderly manner by the legion.
Seeing this scene, Song Ningwan couldn’t help but feel relieved. A bloody taste surged in his throat, and he forcibly swallowed it.
“Song Ningwan, are you tired?” Yuri suddenly grabbed Song Ningwan’s wrist, forcefully pulling him towards a mech.
Tired?
It seemed he really was very tired.
So tired that his vision turned dark, Song Ningwan couldn’t lift his eyelids, and could only shout madly in his heart, unable to wake up.
The expected coldness didn’t appear. Instead, he was embraced by warmth.
“Song Ningwan, if you die, I’ll look down on you.”
Yuri’s voice was very soft, but unexpectedly serious.
So tired…
Before his Connect Spirit collapsed, he had never felt such fatigue. It was as if all the strength in his body had been drained.
“Song Ningwan, I really don’t understand. What kind of magic does the Trash District have for you? That you would disregard your own safety to save it.”
“We’re already on the mech, Song Ningwan, don’t sleep. I’ve tried my best to save a third of the people.”
“You foresaw this situation, so you had Prann leave in advance? You are so kind, but she still ignorantly came back to beg me.”
Prann walked into the medical room, looking at the scarred man in the treatment pod, her voice hoarse: “Teacher… I didn’t help you, it was my fault.”
Yuri sneered: “He deserved to die.”
“Don’t curse Teacher! Mr. Yuri, you promised me you’d save Teacher.” Prann interrupted him.
Yuri acquiesced: “Yes, we made a deal. I save him, and you, you have to stay here, unable to be free for the rest of your life.”
Freedom?
Prann pondered, looking at Song Ningwan, not even considering her own fate.
A ding broke the silence in the treatment pod. Yuri answered the call, his face suddenly serious.
“Okay, notify all personnel to evacuate. The Trash District is destroyed.”
Yuri hung up, the red-glowing treatment instruments gradually calmed down, and the green light representing the end of life-threatening danger reflected on their faces.
It was particularly reassuring.
The glass cover slowly opened, and Prann stepped forward first, “Teacher, how are you?”
Hearing the familiar voice in his ear, Song Ningwan’s eyelashes fluttered. His wounds had healed, and all kinds of cardiopulmonary functions were returning to normal.
“Prann?” The moment Song Ningwan opened his eyes, the worried face of the girl came into view. He was a little dazed, but he still dragged his weak body out of the treatment pod.
Prann hurried forward to support Song Ningwan, leading him to a chair to sit down.
“Teacher.”
Song Ningwan rubbed his temples, trying to adjust to the blinding light. Hearing a soft call, he looked in Prann’s direction.
“I invited Legion Commander Yuri. He is willing to help us.”
“Yuri?” Only then did Song Ningwan notice that Yuri was also there, so he nodded, “Thank you.”
“For you, I offended the head of the household.” Yuri pretended to be regretful: “How should you repay me?”
Even in an extremely confused state, Song Ningwan could still discern certain information.
Like Yuri’s words, which were ridiculously fake.
“Bi Lin is going to destroy even the Upper Trash District. Would he need the legion?” Song Ningwan saw through the loopholes in his words in one sentence, closing his eyes as he leaned against the back of the chair.
“I know what you want to ask, Yuri. I didn’t know about Bi Lin’s plan to blow up the entire Trash District.”
“There are chain bombs buried in the underground tunnels. The head of the household only activated the first wave, the scope of which is near the Trash District Square. The preliminary estimate of casualties is about one-third. I have already notified the head of the Lower Trash District, and he will lead the search for bombs in the Lower Trash District day and night.” Yuri briefly explained the situation.
Song Ningwan opened his sharp eyes. At this time, Prann softly said, “Teacher, when I went to the Lower Trash District, I also went to see my brother… Did you transfer them in advance?”
“Mm.”
Prann’s originally furrowed brow instantly relaxed, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
“Song Ningwan, what’s the point of lying to her like this?” Seeing this scene, Yuri couldn’t help but find it ridiculous.
!
Song Ningwan looked at Yuri’s teasing gaze, a bad feeling spreading in his heart.
Sure enough, Yuri didn’t plan to hide it from Prann, but instead told her the cruel and cold reality.
“Prann, what are you still being naive about? Your brother is dead. The head of the household killed him. That small body was buried under the mountain of corpses, everywhere were children crying and screaming. Your enemy is the Jian family, and your dear teacher actually hid it from you. What are his intentions?” Yuri paused, “He treated you as a tool, that can be discarded at will after being used, so…”
“Stop talking!!!” Prann suddenly shouted, she couldn’t stand still anymore and fell down, her eyes full of despair.
“Don’t… talk,” Prann stared blankly at the ground, constantly mumbling: “Don’t…”
Song Ningwan subconsciously said, “Prann!”
As soon as the words were spoken, the mechs traveling in the air immediately shook non-stop, and warning sounds filled the entire treatment pod.
[Warning! Enemy attack from the rear!]
[Warning!!!]
Yuri immediately pulled up a topographical distribution map, discovering red dots flashing behind dozens of small mechs.
The red dots represented the enemy. Seeing the trajectory of movement getting faster and faster, Yuri immediately linked the communication of all the mechs.
“Hello!” As soon as the communication was connected, the legion members tried their best to suppress their nervous emotions, their tone urgent: “It’s bad! Sir, it’s, it’s Eternal Night chasing after us!!!”
Eternal Night?
Yuri thought to himself, bad!
Did Bi Lin want to kill them all?
At this moment, to make matters worse, all the mechs stopped working and failed one after another.
What was going on?
Damn it!
Yuri stared as the red dots stopped behind the small mechs, the large and small forming a sharp contrast.
It turned out that Eternal Night had released its power, causing all the mechs to submit.
Were they really going to perish together today?
Yuri’s face darkened, suddenly there was a ding.
[Eternal Night sent a communication request!]
