Walk alone in the abyss

【Top secret information】.

Late at night, Attero looked at the documents in front of him and gradually fell into deep thought.

He glanced at the woman lying beside him, turned over and got off the big soft bed, opened the shielded single room, and carefully studied the encrypted file he just received.

"Sir~"

The woman on the bed complained dissatisfied.

"Shut up," Atro said with a frown, "it's business."

The woman immediately stopped whining, lay back on the bed, and continued to scroll through messages boringly.

Atero had to be on the alert at the moment, because the document had just been sent by the white ghost Hendon.

There was no news, no hint, just a document was forced on him.

What's the meaning?

Top secret information?

Could it be that I sent the wrong contact? Do you want to ask yourself? But asking directly, is it too proactive? Could it be that the white ghost meant to let himself try to crack this encrypted file as a test for himself?

It was a matter of his own future, and Attero didn't dare to be careless. After thinking about it, he still clicked on the dialog box and considered his tone several times.

'You are...'

White Ghost sent a video invitation!

Atro shook his hand and immediately answered, subconsciously sitting upright, his eyes fully awake.

"Good evening, Lieutenant Colonel," Yang Ming seemed to be on the rooftop, with the empty and bright city lights behind him, "Have you received the document I just gave you?"

"Yes, I got it," Atro cleared his throat, "This seems to be an encrypted file."

Yang Ming smiled and said, "After we finish chatting, you can get the dynamic password."

"Uh, is it a major matter related to the empire?"

"To be precise, this is a credit," Yang Ming said, "remind the empire to prepare early, and have detailed theoretical evidence to support it. I was still hesitating a few minutes ago, whether to give this credit directly to my friends Lieutenant General Thomas, who had exchanged with him several times, was still given to Captain Gries, but in the end, I chose to give it to Lieutenant Colonel Ni."

Atro, the fine man, immediately reacted, with a faint smile on his mouth: "The Military Intelligence Bureau is grateful for Mr. White Ghost's trust."

"I've never been stingy with my friends," Yang Ming said with a smile, "I have a few questions I want to ask the lieutenant colonel, if the lieutenant colonel can help me, that would be great."

Atro immediately said: "I must know everything, Mr. Hunton, to be friends with a legendary hero like you is the greatest honor in my life so far."

"There is no need to discuss this among friends, what we should discuss is hobbies."

Yang Ming narrowed his eyes and smiled:

"My question is not too difficult.

"The first question, I want to know how the empire views the Valkyrie. If there are differences within the empire on this matter, I want to know which group has which opinions."

"Valkyrie..."

Atro frowned slightly, and asked back: "That seems to be your enemy?"

"Yes, but it's not considered a mortal enemy," Yang Ming lightly downplayed the importance of this matter to him.

Atero thought about it carefully, and immediately called up some information at hand, and quickly gave the answer:

"Valkyrie has caused several tragedies in a row, all of which were shipwrecks and fatalities, which aroused great attention from above.

"According to the information provided by Kigrov's experimental team, the Valkyrie hates the empire. She is Kigrov's biological daughter, but she was treated as a test object by her father. She was full of resentment and was forcibly preserved by Kigrov. The memory of being a mother-in-law.

"According to the testimonials of the experimental team, Kigrove has far more love for Posa than researchers have for the test subjects... This is not nonsense, what father doesn't love his children?

"Oh, I mean, this part of the information is useless."

Atro sums it up briefly:

"If you're talking about the attitude of the higher-ups of the empire... the higher-ups of the empire don't pay much attention to the existence of the Valkyrie, and they only deal with matters related to the Valkyrie to the level of the person in charge of the Skyfury Fortress.

"In the beginning, they wanted to capture the Valkyrie and continue the ancient god cell fusion experiment.

"But later, the Valkyrie escaped by herself in a deformed way, which led to the futility of previous efforts, which made these generals feel very annoyed."

Yang Ming raised his eyebrows slightly.

Didn't the high command of the empire directly look at the Valkyrie?

"Then what do the top executives of the empire usually pay attention to?"

"Well, the stability of the regime is the most important thing at the top," Atro laughed. "We can discuss this in private. The empire is currently restrained by the House of Nobles and the Imperial Army. Your Majesty the Emperor will not Take care of these everyday chores."

Yang Ming asked: "Then the ministers of the various ministries belong to the House of Elders? I don't quite understand the political ecology of the high-level empire."

Atro patiently introduced:

"No, the ministers are only loyal to His Majesty. After the reform of the new calendar, the military and government are separated. The army is the foundation of the empire and directly obeys His Majesty.

"The ministers of the various ministries are responsible for presiding over the daily government affairs and grading different events. Only the government affairs of the highest two levels will be submitted to His Majesty.

"The House of Elders is more like a supervisory agency. There are tens of millions of nobles behind the House of Elders. They want to speak out for the interests of the nobles. The elders of the House of Elders in front of His Majesty usually play the role of criticizing, so the image is not very good, but That's their job.

"You can simply think of it as a triangle of power formed by the Imperial Military Department, the Noble House of Elders, and the ministers of various ministries.

"In addition, there is a special person who can sit next to His Majesty. He is the person in charge of religion, the archbishop of each generation of the Imperial Theocratic Church. The full name of the Imperial Theocratic Church is the Holy Church of the Civilization and Development of the Sherman Empire. This church is very mysterious and has a large number of people. Yeduo has a very low presence in other areas of the empire, but it has extremely high power.

“Many times, when His Majesty is too lazy to take care of matters, the Archbishop’s words will prevail.

"Our Military Intelligence Bureau is an agency directly under the Military Ministry."

(Note: This is the distribution of high-level power in the empire that appeared when Lieutenant General Thomas was questioned.)

Yang Ming thought about it carefully.

Of course he had investigated this holy church and heard about it in "The Abyss", but he had never been able to collect any valid information.

"You care about this, don't you?"

"Well," Yang Ming smiled, "my current goal in life is to become a great nobleman of the empire."

"Oh? This is a bit tricky," Artero said sincerely. "The empire has clear laws that prohibit reformers from serving in the government and the army. They cannot obtain military ranks. They can only accumulate fame by relying on their influence. The titles they can obtain Always limited.”

Yang Ming smiled and said: "Thank you, this is just my goal, maybe it will be achieved one day."

"Of course, it's certainly possible, oh, I mean... Hanton, you're a miracle worker in your own right."

"Okay, Lieutenant Colonel, there is no need for these false politenesses between us," Yang Ming said slowly, "What we need is to help each other... The dynamic password has been sent. Take a closer look. There is no need to explain the source of this information. , I’ve been scrolling too many times lately.”

"Public matters are public matters, and private matters are private matters."

Artero said seriously: "Thank you again for your trust in the Military Intelligence Agency."

Yang Ming hung up the communication with a smile.

Chatting with this guy can really make you feel happy physically and mentally.

He chose to sell the favor to the Military Intelligence Bureau because he valued the Military Intelligence Bureau's influence in the empire.

This thing is the Milky Way version of the 'Jinyiwei'.

On the other side, Artro looked at the automatically unlocked file, and when he opened it, it turned out to be a paper.

He was actually not good at reading this, but he still chose to read it carefully at this moment.

Ten minutes later, Atero sat there quietly, opened his mouth slightly, and made no sound.

[In the current history of the Milky Way, more than sixty or seventy insect swarms have never been destroyed in a row within ten years. However, the New Federation's plan to cultivate insect swarms and the current speed of the empire's eradication of insect swarms have caused this phenomenon to happen. 】

[There are several high-level insect swarms at the edge of the Milky Way. They are constantly absorbing star energy to prepare for their own dimensionality. 】

[The number of female insects that the empire has exterminated is about to reach a red line. The result of touching this red line is for the peripheral insect swarms to launch a full-scale revenge against the empire. 】

[The life level of the space bugs is superior to that of ordinary humans. Don’t underestimate the biological relationship between them. 】

[It is possible to reach the red line at any time. 】

Zerg, full revenge?

Atero grabbed the special communicator, a few drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead for no apparent reason, and quickly called a pinned number.

"Hey, third uncle."

…

Noon the next day.

After a long sleep, Yang Ming took out the oral gene stabilizing pills he carried with him, stuffed them into his mouth and chewed them like jelly beans.

When I opened the bedroom door, the house was quiet.

Yesterday's relatives left no trace, as if the sumptuous family dinner last night was just a false excitement.

Captain Catherine went shopping with Hanton's mother, and Hanton's mother said she would give Catherine some jewelry.

Hanton's family background is actually quite good, and the interior decoration is warm and luxurious. The living area of ​​this large flat floor is two to three hundred square meters. In such a small place outside the Emperor Star Circle, it is already considered a very respectable family.

This is much richer than the Godoy family.

"Ahem, are you awake?"

The rich and deliberately soft voice came from behind.

Yang Ming turned around and saw the middle-aged man wearing pajamas, Hanton's father.

Hanton seemed to be carved in the mold of this uncle, with very similar appearance and temperament. In fact, Hanton's father also joined the army and chose to start some small businesses after leaving the army.

Hanton grew up under the guidance of this middle-aged man since he was a child, and eventually became a handsome young man who was motivated, active, and loyal to the empire.

They had not seen each other for many years, and things had changed after seeing him again. Hanton's father was a little embarrassed at the moment, not daring to look into Yang Ming's eyes, and lowered his head to fiddle with the tea bag in his hand.

"Want something to drink?"

"Anything is fine," Yang Ming walked over with his pocket in his pocket.

"Well, sit down and let's have a nice chat."

Hanton's father skillfully made a pot of tea, glanced at Yang Ming, and then looked at the semi-fixed projection wall beside him.

This is a photo wall, which shows Hanton’s growth trajectory from childhood to adulthood.

"How have you been these past few years?"

Hanton's father asked softly, and then showed a wry smile:

"Look at what I'm asking, you must have suffered a lot and suffered a lot... I've seen all the videos and various analysis materials on the Internet.

"I never thought that my son would one day become a great hero of the empire, save countless lives in the empire, fight bravely against the Zerg, and report so many corrupt officials.

"I'm proud of you...if you need me."

Yang Ming smiled and said: "Of course it is necessary, I attach great importance to these."

"That's good." Hanton's father rubbed his nose and took a sip of hot tea. "You still hate the empire, right?"

"There are some."

"Actually, you shouldn't be resentful, son," Hanton's father sighed. "We have no way to change those individuals, those who corrupt the honor and reputation of the empire. We live in this country and enjoy the protection of the empire to have a stable life." Life……"

Yang Ming asked: "Did the staff of the Military Intelligence Bureau ask you to say these things?"

"Not all." Hanton's father suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "They are trying to influence you through me, and I personally feel that there is no need to resent your own country."

Yang Ming sighed: "How about we stop talking about this issue? It's so complicated, I can't dedicate myself to the empire now."

Handon's father nodded thoughtfully: "Will you continue to report those corrupt officials? This is my personal question."

"You support this?"

"Yes, these officials are terrible!" Hanton's father scolded. "They already enjoy local privileges, and they go to illegally collect wealth and suck blood from the people. They are more damned than bugs!"

"Uh, I may have disappointed you," Yang Ming said with a wry smile, "I have now joined the Super Reformer Organization, and I have promised the Elderly House that I will not continue to report corrupt officials on the Internet."

"Why?"

Handon's father said seriously:

"If you can do something for this country, why not do it? It is legal for you to report on the Internet, why should you be targeted?"

Yang Ming shrugged: "It is said that it is not good for the image of the government and social stability."

"This is absolutely ridiculous! You should be a sword hanging over the heads of those bad officials!"

"It can't be helped," Yang Ming sighed, "But I established the White Ghost Organization before, and this organization will also become the supervisor of local officials."

"Deterrence is not enough."

Handon's father showed regret and said with a smile:

"Do you know? The moment I knew you were the white ghost, I almost jumped up with excitement.

"My life is mediocre and vulgar, without any waves, and I have not suffered too many setbacks. I am very lucky, but I am always a little bit unwilling in my heart.

"But you, my son, who inherited our family's excellent genes, can become a hero that everyone in the empire pays attention to. This is simply... like a dream."

Hum, hum.

Yang Ming's watch vibrated slightly, and two messages popped up on it.

The first message was from Lil, saying that there were some abnormalities on the border of the Sherman Empire, with a large area of ​​space transition traces, but the strange thing was that the Imperial Border Guard did not find the invading fleet.

What makes Lu a little nervous is that the star field where the jump trace is located is not too far from the border of the Luofeng Empire.

‘It is likely that there are a lot of special ships of the new federation, and they should have entered the territory of the empire. '

The second message came from Atero.

The Military Intelligence Bureau is going to hold a high-level confidential meeting on dealing with the Zerg crisis, and Atro asks Yang Ming if he has time to attend.

Yang Ming immediately gave the other party an affirmative reply.

"Are you going to be busy?" Hanton's father asked warmly.

"I'm going to deal with some business." Yang Ming picked up the tea and took two sips. "The tea tastes good. I've heard all your career planning suggestions. That, I will seriously consider it and talk about it later."

Hanton's father nodded quickly: "Okay, let's go and talk later."

Before Yang Ming entered the bedroom, he turned his head and glanced. The middle-aged uncle seemed a little annoyed by his behavior just now, but feeling Yang Ming's gaze, he immediately sat up straight and showed a warm smile.

"Come on boy, we are proud of you."

Yang Ming squeezed a smile, and closed the door casually.

The gene to be a hero does not come from the Hanton family.

This is mainly due to the ancient gods.

at the same time.

In the star field where Li detected the transition fluctuations, one after another the shuttle-shaped warships with optical stealth turned on flew towards the empire at high speed, and in the predetermined target area, they simultaneously transitioned in dozens of different directions.

The warships have no serial number and no logo. If there is a risk of being captured alive by the empire, they will be detonated by remote guidance.

And their respective target star fields are all over the provinces of the empire.

Hehehe, it’s late to catch up with the drama... Hehehe... The drama version of "Three-Body Problem" is really good~
