People's Federation will live forever

"I think that I am detached from the world, which is the beginning of degeneration, and I just want to prove something." Li De didn't respond to Ensig directly, and led the topic to another direction, "Over the energy laboratory, Wu Wei led Will the magnetic field control from here be of any help to our tokamak device?"

Of course, Li De is not asking about data. Although he has unparalleled computing power, he is not a scientist. If he is to do scientific research, he is doomed to use the most stupid "exhaustive method". Ensig said excitedly:

"Because of the different technical standards, it took a lot of time to adjust the compatibility, but more than [-] experiments of more than [-] seconds have been carried out on the magnetically confined plasma, and it is estimated that the critical condition of breaking through [-] million degrees Celsius is only one step away. The remaining The next thing is the large-scale integrated laser array ignition device. In fact, the 'Hammer of Dawn' is helpful to our design. If I can, I hope to dismantle a satellite to study it carefully..."

Li De snapped his fingers: "I approve you. The space control center's first 'Kodiak' spacecraft parts are ready to launch, and a little more work will not affect the overall situation."

In addition to controllable nuclear fusion, Li Dexia's greatest strength is the space control platform, and this is the main reason why he does not pay enough attention to surface ships-when the space fleet appears, the only role of surface ships is to transport ships.The GDI-style Kodiak floating gunboat itself is a quasi-space warship that can maintain flight in the stratosphere, but it does not mean that it cannot be equipped with an engine with a higher thrust and sent directly to space with a rocket. GDI's eyesight is short-sighted, staring at the ground, and Li De thinks he is much nobler than them.

Having been approved by the leader, Ensge deeply felt the correctness of putting aside his research and rushing to meet him, but he suddenly remembered something and reported to Li Dehui: "Leader, through the files and archives organized by the watchman system, I A new algorithm has been deduced, which may be helpful for the unsealing of the 'Zero facility'. We rearranged the underlying logic of the Zero experimental body, theoretically allowing Zero to have a reliable identification of friend and foe..."

"Oh?"

This aroused Li De's interest, but it made him hesitate for a while - because Ensig mentioned the watcher, and that guy was the existence he was most worried about.

"Are you deriving, or being misled?"

Li De didn't say this sentence, he quickly scanned the classification of the files, and didn't see any back door, but he didn't take it lightly, the watchman is another self, and he always knows his own weaknesses best.

But this is undoubtedly an opportunity. Once Number Zero can be controlled, it is something that cannot be refused from the perspective of interests.Considering the strength of No. [-], if possible, the war on Sira can also be ended.

"You make a plan, and I will personally supervise it."

Chapter 28. Legion's Respective Goals

On the outskirts of Sylvie City, the black hand's large army did not mobilize all of them. They just stretched out a hand and shattered the orc's attempt to strangle these refugees.Rescue is a good thing for the refugees who narrowly escaped death, but for the remnants of the security forces who followed the radio instructions to reach the predetermined location, they felt that they just jumped from one encirclement net to another encirclement net.

"who are you!"

Clayton Carmin stood firmly on the machine gun turret of the armored vehicle, pointing his gun at the menacing "Men in Black".At first, they thought they had run into an "elite black armor" from the Security Bureau, but upon closer inspection, it turned out that was not the case at all.The opponent's equipment and banner, as well as the radio code rate and security are not on the same level at all, but are no different from the rumored "Brotherhood".

The Black Hand is different from the Defense Force. When these fighters sitting on the suspension chassis move into action, it is difficult for you to understand an army like them through straightforward feelings, let alone the natives of Wei'an.Not only did Clayton's question not get a proper response, on the contrary, a black and red shuttle tank with a slender gun barrel smashed through the trees and rushed towards the armored vehicle without turning.Fortunately, the unmanned Scorpion tank, whose crew compartment was cancelled, did not regard Wei'an's armored vehicle as an enemy, and turned a corner in time before the collision. Otherwise, the [-]-ton light tank would have to be damaged by the Kamin family. Not one child.

When the black muzzle pointed at the armored vehicle, Clayton felt that he was about to lose control of his trigger finger.Cold sweat flowed from his forehead down his back to his heels, and his comrades held him tightly to keep him rational—the other party didn't attack, why would he seek his own death?

What would cause such a big misunderstanding is that the black hands didn't even initiate a communication. What's more important is the scale of the "landing" force--rows of tanks passed by both sides of the team. Although they were only light vehicles, they Thirty unmanned scorpions didn't even have a single infantry accompanying them, and they just went straight to the city along the way they came.When the mighty torrent of steel drove past them, a group of black hands came from behind in armored vehicles, and ordered them without any explanation:

"Leave the post, leave the gun in hand, and abandon the vehicle except the wounded, and follow us on foot!"

That's what Kamin yelled, but the other party didn't want to talk nonsense with him at all. With a "buzz", dozens of dual-rotor drones hovered over their heads from behind the black hands. The cuboids hanging under these small things did not look like rifles. A long red laser beam means it's not something to mess with.

There was a bigger movement from behind the black hand, and it seemed that something terrible was operating—"You received the radio station from our army, and now you accept the protection of the brotherhood, or you can understand it as imprisonment, You have no choice, please follow the instructions immediately, I will give you 20 seconds, and the expiration will be regarded as giving up."

The leading "officer" said so, and next to him was the old Dizi who looked dazed. Calmly shouted the countdown.

"...13.12.11..."

Without waiting for these security soldiers to react, the civilians in the convoy made their own choices with their feet.Starting from the first father who rushed to ask for medical help with his child in his arms, the stalemate was broken, and the crowd rushed towards the Black Hand's line like a flood that burst a bank.No matter what the opponent wants to do with them, as long as there is a glimmer of hope, it is enough.

No one is willing to care about the blocking of the security guards. Even though they were so desperate to protect their own civilians just now, the opposite side showed overwhelming power from the very beginning, and people will instinctively make choices.Seeing this, the officer of Wei'an came out of the armored vehicle, dropped his weapon in front of everyone, and shouted on the radio:

"All personnel, put down your weapons and do what they say."

"But..."

"No but, living now is the most important thing."

The support force from the rear also arrived. Miles commanded the soldiers to separate the civilians from the soldiers. The wounded were sent to the liquidator converted into an ambulance and sent back to the base, while the soldiers were under armed supervision.Looking at the statistical list of nearly a thousand "population" harvested by this operation, Twilight Sanctuary Miles said to himself: "We should have come here long ago. The original list can be doubled."

"Sir... what will you do with these people?"

Old Dizi asked cautiously, and immediately he felt that he was not speaking clearly enough, and emphasized: "I mean civilians, civilians! They don't even have a home now, and they have suffered enough. I don't know what you will do, sir. Deal with them?"

"Disposal? I'm not qualified for that." Miles looked at Old Dizi with puzzled eyes, "What do you think will happen? Let me guess, don't you think soldiers will be shot and civilians will be used as coolies by us? ?”

"That... UIR was like this back then." The old man said, and then he was taken aback by Miles' aura, and quickly changed his words, "Ah, I think sir... ah, no, our fraternity must not will do."

"Us? You think quickly. You are our collaborator now, but it doesn't mean you are already a member of the fraternity."

Miles shook his head—"Their destiny is decided by the leader. I can't tell you, because I don't know, but we are not UIR. The leader has given us a higher pursuit."

The templar seemed to be lost in thought, and Old Dizi didn't speak anymore. He already understood that all he had to do was to be a good "cooperator".The fraternity was like a monster in the fog, and what he saw in a day was enough to overturn the common sense of half a lifetime.This was beyond his comprehension, so he chose to give up thinking.But like everyone else, he was still curious, who was the "leader" that every member of the Black Hand was talking about?

What does he look like, is he the same age as me or a little older?Just like the Prescott seen on TV, the guy who looks like a wolf, but always likes to put on a majestic and fair face?There is also the higher pursuit in their mouths, that is, what is the so-called "Greater Good"? If it is just a slogan, why do these black hands vow to give everything for it, even their lives? ?

"Human sublimation? Maybe, but what does it matter to me?"

In the distant sea, the huge battleship swaying in the storm heaved with the monstrous waves, the wind howled, and the fury of nature poured unreservedly on the steel creation.The alarm rang for a long time, and the captain commanded the warship to meet the huge wave with its bow. The huge impact caused the "temporary" sailors of the Defense Force to struggle in the corridor and try to get up. A vision of doom.

Sitting high on the command seat on the bridge, Wu Wei looked at the splashing water outside the window and put down the data pad in his hand. A little shaking could not shake him, and his heart was as clear as a mirror.

As a member of the Supreme Council, he was also aware of Li De's plan, but he did not express his opinion—perhaps he was the one who did not need to express his opinion here. As the supreme leader of the Defense Force, he only cared about the role he would play.

"Inform the fleet to sail west to avoid the typhoon. I'm not Halsey, and I'm not interested in challenging the sea."

He gave the order, his eyes fixed on the chart on the electronic screen, and they were already very close to their destination.

"The people in UIR may be fools." Wu Wei looked at the peninsula on the map and said blankly, not knowing what he was weighing.

"But I hope they're not idiots who can't see the situation clearly."

Chapter 29 Live up to the blood of the martyrs

"Sergeant Bud, Lieutenant Cole, I'm sorry to tell you that I can't meet your request, but if you insist, I can write a report to submit to the leader, and if General Wu Wei allows, you can send a special Talented way to join the Defense Forces...”

Looking back to the source of all this, a very unequal conversation was going on on the liquidator armored vehicle. "Twilight Envoy", this is Liszt's current identity. This special identity gave him the basis to act freely as Li De's incarnation between the two legions. To us, it sounds as frustrating as being rejected.Cole protested dissatisfiedly:

"Why are you doing so many tricks, you are such a big official, isn't it just a matter of one sentence?"

Liszt immediately refuted Bard's idea of ​​rogues: "This is the system! The system and the law are the only difference between civilization and barbarism... Besides, from a certain level, we are enemies now, everyone. Before the embarrassing identity is resolved, our cooperation will not have legal effect, and there is still the danger of being accused of traitors!"

"Go to his law, I just want to live now!" Bud plausibly said, this genius mechanic grabbed the non-commissioned officer emblem on the armor and threw it on the floor, "Look what they want us to do? Suicide Mission, an opponent we haven’t defeated in 14 years, now they want to solve it with a bomb? What kind of interstellar joke, I quit!”

The car fell silent, and Liszt watched everyone fall into "contemplation".The armored vehicle was still on its way, and no one except Liszt knew its direction.Sylvie City has been left far behind, and the injured Dom's face has improved a lot after being treated with a hanging bottle. This made Marcus calm down a little. He raised his head, this The first thing the tough guy looked at was the self-defeating Bud——

"Bud, our mission is about the life and death of all human beings. You have also heard Jin Mingyang's words. You shouldn't put yourself above human beings at this time..."

It's good that Marcus didn't speak, but when he spoke, it seemed that Bud's anger was completely aroused.The 1.9-meter-tall man stood up and cursed: "You prisoner, don't pretend to be there! Don't think I don't remember the 'Dongzha' incident. I was still fighting when you were in prison. The situation of Wei'an is better than yours. It’s clear, it’s a wrecked boat, and the man who drives it is a lunatic! He’s going to take us all to die!”

"Who do you think you are, the savior? When will you be able to represent all mankind? What are you pretending to be!"

Cole held Bud back, and Liszt also stood up, resting his hands on the short sword on his back, ready to go.But his calculation was wrong, Marcus looked gloomy, even if Bud sprayed saliva on his face, he didn't move at all-to be honest, this doesn't look like the attitude that a protagonist of an FPS game would show.

But the timing is right!

Liszt took a step forward and wanted to strike while the iron was hot to change Marcus' position, but before he could speak, Marcus spoke first——

"Where you two want to go is your business, I will tell the higher ups that you are both killed."

He said that the weather-beaten face under the hood lightened as if making a decision, and the wrinkles and scars unfolded.The veteran sat up, looked at Liszt and said:

"You and Dom seem to know each other very well, take him to your place... He has helped me so many times, I am afraid that I will never have the chance to pay him back."

Liszt frowned, he felt a kind of crisis, the kind of crisis that his plan encountered resistance.When Marcus said the words, he obviously felt that Bud and Cole were a little shaken-the man in front of him didn't talk much, and he didn't seem interested in listening to his own words, but there is such a kind of person in this world, he It's not deliberately acting out for others to see, but just relying on one's own behavior can affect the people around him, and naturally become the core of everyone.

Marcus is this kind of person, if he follows the steps, he will fall into a passive position——

"I know, Marcus, Jacinto and the people you want to protect. You can disobey military orders, but you will never betray your own compatriots." Pulled off the "Eye of Truth" logo from the black leather jacket, put it in front of Marcus and raised the volume, "But it's the same with our brotherhood, we fight for those who can't fight, not for those who can't fight." Any regime, any slogan, our purpose is to save everyone!

If possible, I would like to tell you that just a dozen kilometers away, those abandoned civilians and your comrades in Sylvie City have been rescued by our legion.The army is coming, and Blackhand will repel the orc invasion, and this is no empty promise. "

In the end, Liszt took a breath and tried his best to adjust the tone of his vocal cords to convey a peaceful invitation to Marcus: "Join us, or cooperate with us, you can better protect the people you want to protect, and even, with us Let's put an end to the source of all this chaos together."

Marcus opened his mouth, and finally shook his head when the words came to his mouth, Liszt unavoidably lowered his arms in "disappointment".However, this tough guy suddenly opened his clenched fist, and with a "ding bell", several metal pieces with chains hung down.

"This is..." Bud and Cole were stunned, the letters engraved on the blood-stained metal pieces, their owners seemed to stand in front of them again at this moment.Jin Mingyang, Winston, Harold, and the young Carmine, all the living people who once fought side by side now only leave a nameplate worth five yuan. The battle has taken everything familiar, and luck Compared with the few of them, more soldiers were forgotten even their sacrifices.

"F**K!" Bud roared and punched the cabin, gritted his teeth to restrain the anger in his heart, but tears still came out of his eyes, "I hate this damn war! I hate this world!"

Cole sat down dejectedly, covering his face with his hands: "Harold...his wife and child are in the West End, we...we should send his things back."

Liszt watched all this speechlessly, and sighed: "Sacrifice... The sacrifice of martyrs is the cornerstone of human existence, it is absolutely true. I understand, you can't let them down, and I agree with that."

Tens of thousands of messages are conveyed from the avatar to the main body, but all considerations converge into one, that is, persuasion is no longer possible.

unless--

Liszt stretched out his hand suddenly, grabbed the nameplates from Marcus's hand, and said before the other party got angry: "All their efforts are for one thing, and this is what we have to do. Let them We can do many things together."

Marcus looked into Liszt's eyes: "What are you going to say?"

"Like you, destroy the orcs before it's too late...and those enemies who haven't shown up yet. On this basis, I am willing to fully assist you, and this is also to live up to the blood of the martyrs."

Under everyone's suspicious eyes, Liszt shouted to the driver: "Change the route, let's go to the frontline headquarters of Wei'an!"

Chapter 30 Reed's Warning

It's the day, the city behind the security line.

The temporary headquarters was set up a few kilometers behind the bombardment position--it is a compliment to the security to say that it is the bombardment position. A few 120mm towed howitzers are the only fire support on the battlefield, because the supply of ammunition is insufficient. The reason is that these artillery pieces are not allowed to fire when it is not necessary. Their purpose is to deal with high-value targets like Tyrannosaurus, not to mention that there is no information technology. Tactical positioning.

What is the value of artillery that can neither strike accurately nor be covered by artillery fire... Maybe Li De would complain like this if he was there, but for Colonel Hoffman, this is not a problem at all. "Support" is better than nothing for the morale of the soldiers It is also decisive, not to mention that this is already a rare trump card in his hand.

"Report! Colonel, we have completely lost radio contact with Sylvie City, half an hour ago."

When Hoffman pushed open the door of the command center, a female voice sounded at the same time - the liaison officer, Lieutenant Anya, she was still dressed as a clerical officer, but unlike usual, she had a pistol on her waist .

"The 41st Infantry Company stationed there can be sure that the entire army has been wiped out... Colonel, the east gate of Jiaxintu has been completely opened."

Anya looked a little unnatural, Hoffman saw this, he waved his hand: "I see, Lieutenant, can you still contact Team D?"

After a short silence, Anya bit her lips tightly: "No."

"I know that kid, he doesn't die so easily."

The colonel left the lieutenant behind and went to the map alone, lost in thought.There was a thunderous roar outside the command room, it was the artillery firing-the sound of the artillery and the sound of the propellers of the Raven helicopter merged into a chorus, accompanied by the roar of the centaur tank tracks and the shouts of soldiers, the troops mobilized from the rear "Chaos" filled this temporary line of defense.Jacinto's gates are open, they must keep the orcs out, or... nothing else.

The bad news from the front line gathered in the headquarters like snowflakes. The red crosses representing "occupied" were marked on the map one by one, symbolizing that the flags of the security forces were pulled out one by one. The crisscross situation finally gathered in the core headquarters. on the ground.But this is not absolute, Hoffman is very familiar with the orcs, they will use tunnels to bypass the well-defended strongholds, and wreak havoc in the rear.

"Colonel!"

The long silence made Lieutenant Anya finally unbearable. She squeezed a document in her hand and asked with a little loss: "We have been fighting these monsters for 14 years, and now we want to end the war with a photon bomb. ..is, is this possible?"

"What do you want to say, lieutenant?" The colonel didn't raise his head. "That's not an ordinary photon bomb. It has a power of 1000 million tons. There is no such powerful weapon in human history."

"That's what everyone thought when we had the Hammer of Dawn." Anya seemed to have made a lot of determination to bring up this matter, especially now that Wei An has lost the Hammer of Dawn. This has always been a sensitive issue. Topic——"However, the first target of the Hammer of Dawn was our own city. After paying so much sacrifice, we got nothing! Colonel, Qing forgive me, this bomb will probably cause the same As a result, if the earth's crust is exploded, even our remaining territory will be buried together..."

"So, do you have a better idea, Lieutenant?!"

The colonel straightened up suddenly, his eyes widened, and he reprimanded in a stern and unquestionable tone: "Don't forget why we are fighting, and don't forget your uniform and your duty, Lieutenant Anya! Even if this It is a desperate battle, and I also ask you to fight to the end like a soldier, instead of being a shameful coward!"

"But, Colonel!" Unexpectedly, this time the lieutenant no longer bowed her head obediently, she argued, the stubbornness on her face was exactly the same as that of a certain man, "We are no longer fighting alone, just half an hour ago Sylvie City's forces have received unknown reinforcements..."

"The so-called brotherhood? You mean let us form an alliance with them?" The colonel was startled, and then he slapped the table and flew into a rage--"How could you have such an idea, Lieutenant, didn't you hear the so-called declaration Is it? They are a bunch of damn imperialists, ambitious people who want to annex us, more hateful than UIR! Do you think they will come to help us for no reason?"

Anya pushed back without showing any weakness: "Of course not, but they are better than President Prescott, at least they took away the Hammer of Dawn and did not bomb our city and use it to massacre innocent civilians! Colonel, This is our best and only way!"

The quarrel that erupted in the headquarters suddenly attracted the attention of the guards outside the door. When they were still hesitating, Colonel Hoffman suddenly called them in.

Indoors, they were surprised to find Colonel Hoffman pointing a gun at Lieutenant Anya. This scene almost made them think that they were wrong.One was their Supreme Commander, the other their revered liaison officer, which made the guards hesitate.

"I should shoot you on the spot for your treason, lieutenant!" The colonel lowered his voice, and then ordered the guards, "Lieutenant Anya is no longer suitable to serve as a liaison officer because of serious violations of discipline, and I hereby announce that you will be deprived of all powers And dismissed from the army. Guards, take her down to await trial!"

The guards glanced at each other, gritted their teeth and said, "Yes...sir."

Before her epaulets were taken off and handcuffed, Anya turned her head and said decisively: "Colonel, I did not treason."

"The real traitors are those sitting in the parliament building. As soldiers, what we should really protect is our people, not the rotten signboard of security!"

Even so, Hoffman didn't waver in the slightest. He waved his hand and sighed after Anya was escorted away: "Childish...do you think we can do better without this signboard?"

The worst order is better than disorder. How can a colonel who has been in the army for decades not understand the virtue of Wei An?But without this signboard, what kind of organization and manpower will be used to provide the source of soldiers?Who will direct the production and distribution of food, industrial products, and who will stabilize the situation and hold this last line of defense for mankind?Hoffman is not ignorant of the "Eye of Truth Brotherhood", but he knows very well that if he doesn't do his job well, even if the group of self-proclaimed "saviors" are capable, wait until they come By the time Jiaxintu was saved, the 50 civilians here would have died long ago without a place to bury them!

And Anya made a mistake. The duty of a soldier is to obey, not to defend.

But he also understood his adjutant. She shouldn't be such an emotional person. Anya's abnormality made him a little hard to understand, but it was such an urgent moment...

Hoffman fell into deep thought. Before he knew it, the console in the command center suddenly lit up by itself—as if it had received some signal and began to jump automatically. A strange voice sounded from behind him.

"You are, Colonel Hoffman?" the voice said suspiciously. When the old man turned his head, he was surprised to find that a strange man appeared on the screen——no, he was not a stranger, and he had seen his photo for a long time. !

"!!!"

The colonel's pupils dilated in an instant. Although he was separated from the screen, a bad feeling surged in his heart—this is a military confidential line, and the other party invaded so easily?Is there still an unsurveilled place in Wei'an?

However, the other party seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and said directly: "Don't be surprised, this is easy for us, whether it is observation or control, if we want to, it will only take a moment to destroy you."
