People's Federation will live forever

Construction vehicles and drones are busy, and everything seems to be working according to plan.The facilities at the base stood up like building blocks, and the framework of an oval-shaped facility covering an area of ​​several hundred meters had taken shape.Drones come and go to carry materials, build walls for it, and build assembly line production facilities. The sound of "crackling" welding can be heard endlessly. The busy construction site runs 24 hours a day, and the construction is carried out in an orderly manner under the control of the host. .

GDI once described fraternities as "popping up overnight," which speaks to the efficiency with which fraternities are built.But in the past, it was the tireless work of fraternity members with unbridled enthusiasm and the meticulous planning of the fraternity's scientific staff.Until Li De left the earth, neither side had completed fully autonomous facility construction.There is no need for engineers to plan or labor to participate in the construction. Li De can proudly say that the history of oppression of the proletariat has completely ended in his own hands.

But a construction site without any construction workers has a deadly stillness beneath the busy surface.

The base has been in operation for 14 hours, and 10 cloning centers have been completed.

No. 16 hours, heavy factory... Preliminary completion, uploading technical drawings.

The mainframe recorded all this indifferently, and every change in the base would be compared with the plan—at the core of the quantum matrix, on the island composed of data, Li De formed a three-dimensional model of the base's plan, floating in the Above the stele and the round table.If you compare, you can see that every tile of the base is exactly the same as the model.Li De used this method to make the main machine run completely according to his own design, and the main machine also completely followed his own orders.

"Transferring to the cloning center—"

In the central area of ​​the base, there are two rows of symmetrically arranged buildings. The square three-storey houses have sharp edges and corners, which are slightly abrupt compared with the elliptical fraternity buildings. Choose the Brotherhood of NOD's hand to train soldiers.This is a compound biochemical factory converted from the barracks of the global defense organization GDI, and its function is not to provide dormitories for soldiers.

Of course, its ostensible name is not a cloning center, but a frozen cabin, to conceal its true purpose.

This is also one of the few places where there are employees inside, saboteurs—or engineers in heavy chemical protective suits walking in the "freezing compartment", correcting the data for these precious "frozen" compartments.There is white mist from liquid nitrogen volatilization everywhere here, and dense blue non-transparent glass covers are arranged on both sides of the cabin corridor-thirty on the first floor and ninety on the third floor.

An engineer seemed to walk to a cabin at random, and used the computer on his arm to connect to the freezer. The DNA map showed the image of a middle-aged black man on the computer. The saboteur tapped the screen a few times, and the man's His face immediately aged a bit.

"Apostle Albert Holkla, age...just 39, belongs to...the first company of the Black Hand Legion, rank...major sergeant." The engineer muttered to himself, and adjusted the name on the computer. History of cloning.After a busy work, he sighed.

"It's boring to make up personalities, and I'm not a novelist... I really want to study orcs!"

The engineer didn't mind his irresponsible remarks that might be thrown into brainwashing, sighed and turned to another cabin.And the adjusted cabin started to light up red, and the brainwashing process was in progress.

"The cloning center facilities are normal, and the personality fabrication work is in progress."

"Completion of No. 80.00 Cloning Center... [-]%! It is being transferred to the armory to prepare for equipment work."

The armory itself is not a warehouse, but a small assembly line production workshop.The trucks loaded with raw materials drive in from the back door. These vehicles coming out of the Tiberium smelting center send the preliminary processed synthetic materials to the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt leads directly to two directions——

Individual equipment, and individual weapons.

Synthetic materials will be processed into powdered printing materials according to their properties.Whether it is the Brotherhood or GDI, both sides have mastered mature 3D printing technology as early as World War II, and the convenience brought by Tiberium is fully demonstrated here.On Earth, an ordinary arsenal requires strict site selection, and must be located in a place where raw materials and transportation are both convenient.Raw materials are especially critical. Many sophisticated facilities require many rare elements, and nature always likes to scatter these precious mineral deposits in troublesome places.

The elements of the planet are distributed in our crust, but humans can only mine those places with abundant elements—the so-called ore veins, but Tiberium doesn’t care.The siphon effect of the dynamic molecular lattice penetrates thousands of meters into the earth's crust, and all elements, organic or inorganic, will be swallowed by this terrible crystal. Li De only needs to carry out simple collection, dissolution and centrifugal screening, even though the ore field only spreads a few The range of [-] square meters is quite enough for now.

The 3D printer looks like a nozzle tool, but it ejects a solution of high-temperature-treated alloys.With the joint operation of several mechanical arms, the sprayed solution was combined into a silver barrel within a few breaths, and then the coolant was spilled, and a small but extremely dense laser ray penetrated into the quenching chamber along the way. Deep in the rear of the barrel, rifling is carved inside, and the operation accuracy of the entire project is controlled at the femtometer level.

"Start chrome."

The barrels that have completed a complete set of craftsmanship will be sent to the next line, where there will be special assembly work, and the process time will be controlled to more than one minute.The operation of the arsenal is normal, the main engine records the production report into the file, and starts to adjust the progress of the heavy factory.

Suddenly, at the core of the Quantum Matrix, that calm sea of ​​codes began to surge! "Woo--" A red siren sounded inside the base, and the host immediately issued a series of warnings to Li De's consciousness!

"Warning, the quantum matrix is ​​out of balance, the 'Watcher' system has awakened, repeat, the 'Watcher' system has awakened... The warning failed, a third party has seized the communication authority!"

"The Biochemical Research Center...lost contact...a third party has seized the control authority of MCV."

A new voice sounded in the Quantum Matrix, low and indifferent, but upon listening carefully, it was Li De's own voice—"The alarm is cleared."

The sirens in the base stopped abruptly, and everything returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.Immediately afterwards, the engineers in the cloning center all received a new message from the newly appeared "Li De".

"Phase [-] is complete and the recovery protocol is in effect."

"The second stage, start, activate the rebirth protocol."

"All engineers, start the third phase of the 'Lazarus' plan!"

(Additional note for new readers: The style of the previous article is different from the latter, almost two books. If you read the single-player adventure I wrote for fun, it is not to your liking, and you think the protagonist is too reckless, deliberately reckless, please don’t rush to read it. Judgment, it was arbitrary and irresponsible when I first wrote the book, and I don’t want to change it after too long. But from the resurrection of the Brotherhood to the establishment of the People’s Federation, it’s another story, old readers can vouch for 2333.)

Chapter 15 Beast Cuisine

Li De still didn't know anything about what happened in the base. At this moment, he was trudging through the muddy ground in Sira.

It must be said that the surroundings of Sira were quite unpleasant.

The climate here is similar to the Amazon jungle, with high temperature, humidity, abundant water veins, and dense vegetation enough to submerge living people.As the sun gradually reached the top of the head, the water vapor on the surface began to transpire, and the entire rainforest was shrouded in a thin mist.The outside temperature reached more than 40 degrees Celsius, and the water vapor adhered to his body, and was liquefied by the coolant, hanging on Li De's body as if he was sweating profusely.

Are these refugees venturing through such a dangerous jungle to use the jungle to cover their bodies?As he thought this way, some small creatures like centipedes crawled past his feet with a rustle. He couldn't stand this kind of place before.I don't know much about the ecology of this world, but tropical jungles are often dangerous. Even if there are no orcs, I doubt whether these refugees can pass through this wetland safely.

Gently pushing aside the grass in front of him, Li De stepped on the swamp with one foot deep and one shallow foot.He passed through the thorny bush opened by the soldier "Frank" half an hour ago. The environmental scanner sorted out the messy footprints on the ground and displayed them on the visual system. Combined with the observation of the drone, he could roughly calculate what happened here not long ago. What happened - it was right in front of my eyes, corpses, bullet casings, and the smell of gunpowder smoke that hadn't dissipated for a long time.

There were swarms of scavenger-eating insects like mosquitoes flying in the air, they circled around Li De, landed on him from time to time, and then left in disappointment.Ignoring these troublesome little things, Li De approached the scene, squatted beside the corpse of an old man, and looked at the first sacrifice he witnessed in this world.The bullet hit the chest directly and passed through the back, leaving a big hole with bloody flesh.Following the body's fallen posture, he looked at a large hole next to it, which was the tunnel dug by the orc's burrower, enough for six or seven orcs to pass through at a time.But probably because the land here is wet and soft, it has collapsed a long time ago. The image of the drone told me that a woman fell into it unfortunately. I was still thinking about whether there was any hope of saving her, but it seemed to be in vain. .

This was just my own wishful thinking... Li De was emotionally unwilling to accept it.He shrugged habitually—as if the gesture meant anything.These mortals, these frail mortals... are, so weak.Just one blow could kill them.

I hope the woman is dead and not captured...Although it is only my own guess, these orcs may be worse than imagined.

There are more tunnels around the tunnel, and there are only a few orc corpses scattered on the ground.The humans ran away, and the orcs also chased them away. The number of tunnels shows that there are at least 30 orcs. How many combat powers do humans have?

"Thirty pairs of single digits." He was talking to himself, and turned his head, but saw the old man's dull eyes facing him, and those empty pupils showed his own face, which seemed to be telling something .

"Don't worry!" Li De put his hand over his eyes, and said solemnly, "I won't leave him alone."

"The target position has been locked, Commander." The host's voice sounded at this moment.Li De stood up, raised the rifle, pulled out a 12.7mm bullet from the bullet belt on his chest, and stuffed it into the gun chamber with a 'click'!

......

These humans are not very good at fighting, but they run away very quickly!

The tenth commander smashed the butt of his gun on the male human, causing him to vomit blood, and then stepped on it, making the disgusting creature twitch in pain.

"Damn...monster...stay away from..her..!"

The human was still muttering something, he couldn't understand the human language, but he could guess what it meant, so he couldn't help stepping a little harder.The iron-soled boots were spiked, and blood seeped from his back little by little.The more tormented, the more the captive struggled under his feet, and the more he felt happy.

The Ten Commander vented his anger recklessly, but it was not an exaggeration.It's been a night, and yesterday these humans escaped from the encirclement net, which made Commander Wam furious and ordered himself to wipe out all these rats.The human beings who escaped before did not catch up after all, and were having a headache about how to go back to do business, but you scattered mice still fell into my hands!

But a voice that makes it unpleasant sounds, preventing its enjoyment.

"Captain! What to do with these females? Are they all slaughtered? The brothers are all hungry!"

An orc who was taller than ordinary orcs came striding forward with a thick machete on his shoulders, shouting loudly without awe, which made the ten captain very unhappy.Butchers, these guys often accompany the orc army on the battlefield. Their machetes can be used to process ingredients, but more often they are executioners who kill captives, although there is no difference between the two.And this guy in his team is a troublesome thorn.

It withdrew its feet from the human, and stood face to face with the butcher.The two orcs were about the same size, nearly two meters in stature, like two ferocious beasts grinning and facing each other——

"What do you want to do again?!" The ten commander lowered his voice, "I said I would capture him alive."

Heavy sword 'Duang! ’ With a thud, he fell into the puddle, and the splashed muddy water stained the commander’s bulletproof coat. The latter was suppressing his anger, with a dangerous gleam in his eyes, but the butcher said to himself as if he didn’t see it.

"The mouse ran for two days and we chased it for two days. All we ate were worms and stalks! Brothers want something warm, my knife... also want to taste blood!"

This guy is wearing iron armor, like a warrior. There are no non-combatants among orcs. Its heavy armor is covered with bullet holes, and its body is full of bloody stench. Flies and insects are buzzing around it. Do not wave away.When the butcher talked about this topic, his eyes were full of bloodthirsty light, and he couldn't help raising the butcher's knife. The edge of the knife was incomplete like the sawtooth of a beast.

As its words spread to the herd, the orcs let out roaring cheers. They patted their chests to express their opinions, and the impatient ones rushed to do it, but they were repelled by the captain's roar.

And in the center surrounded by orcs, lay a man who was bitten by the slaves until he was covered in blood, and four women knelt on the ground, sobbing softly, and several slaves wandered around them dripping saliva.The commotion of the orcs made them lean against each other in fear. Although they couldn't understand it, it was definitely not a good thing.

The ten captain rushed up and knocked down an orc with a fist. While dispersing the herd, he shouted and cursed: "You idiots! These females must be sent to the commander to appease his anger. If you kill them, I will kill them now." kill you!"

As he said that, the ten commander took out his pistol and pressed it hard on the butcher's forehead. The butcher took a step back, but still slapped his breastplate in dissatisfaction and roared.The two tall orcs were yelling and cursing at each other, and there was a tendency to fight.But it seemed that the captain's authority still defeated the butcher, and the latter had no choice but to put down his machete unwillingly.

Then the ten captain turned and shouted at the clamoring orcs:

"The previous rats have escaped, and this batch is too small. Only so few were caught. The commander will definitely send us underground to fight those 'demons'! Which of you wants to go?"

A questioning voice sounded from the orcs: "Why does the commander want these human females? Is the commander also interested in humans?"

"Shut up, you lowly reptiles, the bosses like pets!"

The captain said so, although it didn't quite understand.As far as it knows, those leaders who have been taught by the queen have some strange hobbies out of their admiration for the queen, and they have learned too much human knowledge.But as far as she is concerned, growing out of an egg is destined to be just a warrior, without the right to mate. The female orcs in the tribe are very cruel except for the incubation period, even more cruel than a butcher.

"These pets can't help tossing. You killed one before, and we lost one. The commander will be unhappy!"

These orcs half understood and half understood, their simple minds didn't know what it meant, and their dissatisfaction continued to rise. Seeing that the captain's explanation had no effect, a cunning flashed in the butcher's eyes, he stood up suddenly, walked to In front of the herd, half of them shouted to the captain and half to their subordinates:

"What you said is what the Theron guards should do. The leader didn't ask us to do it!"

"You sent half of the soldiers to chase more humans before, and now they have no news, so have we failed? Head?!"

The butcher yelled, this made the captain furious, which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted, who are you frightened of!

"Are you saying I'm incompetent?"

"That's right!" the butcher booed, "Brothers are tired and hungry, and the casualties are heavy. It's all your fault. We should chop off your head and give it to the commander!"

The orcs clamored and were stirred up by the butcher to surround the captain. Two big artillery soldiers strode through the herd. The butcher told them to grab the captain, and he picked up the machete and sharpened it on the gauntlet. When it came out, the edge of the knife became hot as if it was burning red.

"Damn it! You bastards, let me go! These females are still remodeled... Let me go, I'm your leader!"

The ten captain struggled to break free from the hands of the two artillerymen, but the captain's name still frightened the stupid big man.But other orcs rushed forward angrily, and it was squeezed and pulled by the herd, almost torn apart.

But it is a high-intelligence orc who can be selected as an officer at any rate, and suddenly has a quick wit——

"Aren't you hungry? There are two males here, eat their meat!"

The orcs were stunned by this voice, and it seized the opportunity to squeeze out, rushed over a few steps, grabbed the human lying on the ground, threw it out, and smashed it into the pile of orcs.The orcs roared in unison, swarmed up and tore apart, blood splashed everywhere, they grabbed a piece of stumped limbs and internal organs, bit them into their mouths, and even fought fiercely while fighting for each other.The sound of chewing and the breaking of bones resounded in the herd, and the orcs devoured one by one, their mouths were full of blood.

The rebellion that had been instigated with great difficulty dissipated in no time, and the butcher was so angry that he cursed these seedless maggots: "Chop off this guy's head, and you will have more meat to eat!"

But no one listened to it anymore, this gang of rabble just wanted to grab something to eat.Seeing the butcher's deflated appearance, the ten butchers laughed loudly. It knocked the butcher away contemptuously, passed through the beating herd, grabbed the scarred human youth, and taunted the annoyed butcher: "Remember! , I am the head here!"

The young man said something to the women with a weak breath, and was thrown out by the ten commander—"Dinner!"

The butcher glanced at the human under his feet, picked up the machete bitterly, and chopped it down heavily!

Chapter No.16 Infighting

"You guys seize the opportunity... run..."

This was the last sentence the young man said—even if he was weak, he could only utter a hoarse groan like a rotten wood.The windpipe seemed to be burning, as if a thousand worms were scratching in the throat, painful, but inexpressible.He hoped that Elsa had heard him, and that all of them.

Now he can't feel the pain—there is no good skin all over his body, his body is covered with claw marks, the hard labor almost gnawed off one of his legs, the main artery was ruptured, and the rough bandaging couldn't stop the blood from gushing out.They also blinded one of his eyes, causing him to pass out from the pain earlier.

But he didn't die after all, the leaders of those monsters came, are they finally going to execute him?I don't care if I die, but not now.

These ferocious beasts...

He tried his best to open his remaining left eye to see all the chaos on the field.What are they fighting for?Do you want to treat yourself to lunch?

Luo Er, you bastard, why did you save me, why didn't you run away with Aisha and the others?I have dragged all of you down, it should be me who should suffer this fate!

The orc leader pulled his crippled leg, as if he was dragging a dead man, and a long bloodstain was drawn on the ground.After a while, with the roar of the orc, he was thrown high and landed heavily at the feet of another orc.The fall seemed to have broken several ribs, and he spit out blood from his lungs in a 'wow'.And all this did not attract the attention of the orcs, they seemed to be arguing?With that in mind, he slowly reached out to the hanging bag behind him.

Suddenly, a substantive coldness came from his waist, and for a moment, he couldn't feel his lower body anymore.He widened his eyes, looking at the thick-backed broadsword drawn from his waist, and the intestines and internal organs flowing out like water.

And the butcher grabbed the cut half of the human body and chopped it up with a "click".

The young man's brain seemed to be unable to bear any more, and he was so drowsy that he could no longer feel the pain.I have no feeling from the chest down... If it's gone, it's gone, and I won't need it anymore anyway.

It was almost... As he thought so, his fingers finally touched the cold metal, hooked the ring, pulled the thing out of the backpack, and bit the safety bolt with the last bit of strength.

A lump wrapped in rags arced in mid-air, flew over the butcher's head and landed among the orcs.The butcher was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly screamed and jumped into a quagmire.

"boom"--

The earth-made bomb was modified from an ordinary grenade, and its power was not terrible, but it added a lot of fragments of iron and incendiary, so it released a huge fireball among the orc crowd.The two at the center of the explosion stopped moving on the spot. The air wave overturned a large area of ​​orcs, and the flying fragments of iron made them scream in agony. What's more, they were too close to the fireball to get gasoline, and panicked with their own Companions crash into a ball, creating more fire.

"Damn rat!"

It took a while for the impact of the explosion to stop. The commander who got up from the ground shook his dizzy head, touched a piece of iron from his face with his hand, and pulled off a piece of flesh.Anger makes its ugly face even more ferocious. While roaring, it calms down its soldiers and walks to the culprit. The person is dead, and he doesn't know whether he was bleeding too much or was blown to death. His eyes, mouth and nose are all dripping. blood, but with a smile on his face.

The captain raised his foot, and the metal sole of his boot slammed into his face.He hates it all, these humans deserve death, all of them!

"Those females ran away!"

The butcher also just crawled out of the mud pit, and shouted at it at the top of his voice.The ten captain kept on stepping, turned his head, and all the females who had been guarded together disappeared, leaving some packages behind!

The hard labor in charge of guarding was scared away by the explosion at the first moment, and the weeds beside the guarded land were still swaying, and these females took the opportunity to sneak into the jungle from under their noses.For the Ten Commander, everything seemed to be designed against him!

"Then why are you standing there? Go after it, you lowly reptile! Do you want me to tell you what to do?"

It yelled at the butcher, who raised the knife and stood still.None of the orcs around listened to its orders, which made it feel a little bit bad.

The butcher stroked the uneven blade with his hand. It looked at the knife, then up at the commander, with horrifying eyes—"The rats can't escape," it said in a single word, "and you useless captain, Wah! Commander Mu misread you, but I won't."

"Neither will the brothers, you can't do anything, it's time to change the leader."

The ten captain took a step back, raised the shotgun and pointed at the butcher: "I am the leader here, and I will take care of everything!"

"No," the butcher strode forward, "you have no chance!"

As soon as the words fell, it roared angrily, raised its machete and rushed towards its leader.The distance between the two was so close, within only five steps, the ten commander fired a shot, and dozens of lead bullets spewed out from the muzzle, and hit the butcher with powerful kinetic energy. Pass the blade to block the front door, and let the projectile hit him.

The lead bullet collided with the steel armor and distorted it, exploding sparks and tearing apart a layer of armor, but it only caused the butcher's body to shake for a while, and dark red blood flowed out from the pierced places on the armor, which made the butcher It's more violent.The two-hundred-kilogram iron-clad giant slammed into the Ten Commander's body, knocking it into the air.The shotgun fell out of the captain's hand and fell to the ground, kicked away by the butcher.
