392.Arasaka Tower
"Why is it so chaotic here, and the power seems to be out? Is it V's fault?"
Gu Zhuo looked here and asked Cat behind him.
Cat was noncommittal:
"It should be V. He created this chaos just to let you arrive at the meeting point safely and unobtrusively. However, this is only a small-scale incident. It only cuts off the energy in the outer city in a small area. It will not have any impact. When we get to Arasaka Tower and its surroundings, V still has some strength. We just need to move towards the meeting point."
After hearing this, Gu Zhuo looked around again, and there was still a noisy and chaotic scene around him.
The people around them kept screaming and screaming, and their voices were heartbreaking. It didn't seem like the screams were caused by the energy being cut off.
Gu Zhuo was confused and heard Cat say from behind:
"Don't think too much. After V cuts off the energy, not only is there no light in this area, but more importantly, everything now needs energy support, including the prosthetic bodies they have installed on themselves. They have no energy supply, basically Nothing can be done, so they panic."
After hearing Cat's explanation, Gu Zhuo reluctantly believed it.
He continued to drive the car towards the gathering destination.
It was precisely because of Cat's reasonable explanation that he ignored some shadows hidden in the darkness.
The front of his truck, with its flashing headlights shining all the time, Gu Zhuo rampaged down the street.
Some of the cable cars that fell down blocked his way, so he knocked the cable cars away. He had to get there quickly and not let the cable cars get in the way.
After he drove all the way out of this area, he was walking through a dark and chaotic city.
He heard various sounds around him, such as gunshots, commanding voices, and some piercing screams. All of this was like a dream, making Gu Zhuo feel so unreal.
"Don't worry about it, that's V's strategy to divert the tiger away from the mountain. First create a small chaos here, and then attract the military people here. We also have a better chance of winning and breaking into Arasaka Tower."
Cat kept comforting Gu Zhuo from behind.
"knew."
Listening to Cat's comfort, Gu Zhuo glanced at him and Old Jack in the rearview mirror. Old Jack obviously knew nothing like himself. In comparison, Cat obviously knew more things.
It seemed that V sent him to pick up himself and Old Jack for a reason.
He couldn't care about that much for the time being. When Gu Zhuo desperately broke through this unreality and broke outside, he was surprised to find that Arasaka Tower suddenly burst into his eyes like a mountain.
This is the largest company in the entire world except for Paradise Island. Even if he has not personally been under the company, seeing it in a remote corner of the city can still make people feel fear and awe.
Gu Zhuo looked up and saw the company towering high in the clouds, twinkling in the night. The lights on each floor were so psychedelic and unreal, reflecting its own half of the sky.
The structure of the entire Arasaka Tower Company is a rather strange diamond shape.
The three sides are very flat, but one side is specially built to be high and raised, like the tip of a ballpoint pen.
At first glance, Arasaka Tower seems to be a device that brings gods to the human world.
And at the top of Arasaka Tower, in the night sky, Gu Zhuo discovered something different.
The night sky in the rest of the area looks normal. There are no stars or dark clouds. It is very clean, as clean as a scenery written by a program.
But only in the sky at the top of Arasaka Tower, thick yellow clouds were constantly rolling. In the middle of the yellow dark clouds, there is something that is constantly tumbling. I don't know what it is, and it is dim and uncertain.
Looking at it this way, the structure of Arasaka Tower is more like an ancient sword that suppresses all things in the world.
The top is where its sword edge pierces, and the Arasaka Tower building is the rough sword body. The hilt of the sword was buried deep in the earth, splitting heaven and earth and completely stratifying human society.
If you want to gain fairness for everyone, you can only cut off the sword called "Arasaka Tower".
Seeing Gu Zhuo staring at the Arasaka Tower and the sky at the top of the Arasaka Tower, Cat said to him:
"That is the passage to Paradise Island. Sometimes people from Paradise Island will come down here to give instructions to the world's top leaders, or take away what they want to take away. Sometimes, some people have accumulated enough capital and ability , those who are favored by Paradise Island can go directly to Paradise Island from this passage.
"But there are very few such people. In recent years, since the meteorite broke through Arasaka Tower, not even one person can be spotted and picked up by Paradise Island. In the past years, it seems that one year can still be Come out with one.”
"I see."
After listening to Cat's words, Gu Zhuo lowered his head again, looked at the map, stopped thinking about the rolling dark clouds at the top of Arasaka Tower, and continued towards the meeting point marked by V on the map.
But regardless of what happened at the top of Arasaka Tower, there was something else lingering in his mind that he couldn't get rid of.
Although he knew that even asking Cat and Old Jack about these things would be of no use, Gu Zhuo finally sighed and asked the two people behind:
"Is it the towering Arasaka Tower that controls us, or the Paradise Island we have never seen?"
"Paradise Island."
Cat answered him firmly.
"But now that we have broken into Arasaka Tower, even if we succeed in killing the company leader and completely destroying Arasaka Tower from this world, who knows whether we can defeat Paradise Island in the end?
"If we are destined to be unable to defeat Paradise Island, all we have done is eliminate a group of lackeys. Those guys will also find suitable candidates from their own shabby circle to build a second Arasaka Tower. Is our struggle effective?
"Or is it just a transfer of violent power from one person to another."
Ever since Chaoying was no longer by his side, Gu Zhuo had often had a strong sense of doubt, doubting the entire world and doubting all his efforts. Added to this is a feeling of loneliness and death.
It was precisely because of these complicated feelings that he had to think a lot, even meaningless thinking, which was better than the sudden pain.
After this question was raised, Cat was obviously not as prepared to answer quickly as before.
He hesitated for a long time, but couldn't explain why.
Fortunately, at this time, Old Jack made a rare speech:
"Then try to destroy all tyranny. Either die or reform. There is no third way."
After hearing Old Jack's decisive answer, Gu Zhuo asked:
"If we destroy all tyranny, what kind of world should we build in the end? Can we build a better society than this? Wherever there are people, there will be greed, and there will be greed. There is decay and stench that thrives, just like bedbugs in a dark corner, and you can never get rid of them.”
This time it was Old Jack and Cat's turn to be silent.
Gu Zhuo couldn't think of the answer himself. He always felt that human society has reached the same destination by different paths from ancient times to the present.
Whether it is a short-lived dynasty or a long-lived dynasty, it is actually the same.
The only lesson people learn from history is that humans learn nothing from history.
"This is not something we should discuss. We are just the waves that were caught up in the waves and formed the first batch of waves to hit the coast. But after all, we are not the sea. The answer to your question is only known by the sea."
In the end, it was old Jack who said such meaningful words.
Gu Zhuo didn't make a sound, he was silent.
With a silent and solemn mood, he quickly rushed towards the gathering point.
