Gene from the 13th Department of Bright City

Early morning on November 3, 2276

"Yuna has betrayed."

"how come!"

Katerina looked at the video communication from Space Station No. 55 on the crystal panel in disbelief. In it were the governor of Space Station No. 55, Chen Si, and several people from the clone front. They looked very solemn.

"Why betrayal?"

Stukov remained silent, while Weston next to him seemed very calm. Katerina pressed her chest while she asked emotionally.

"explain!"

"Yuna agreed to the conditions of the First Army of the Empire. We don't know the specifics, but what is certain is that the spies of the First Army have infiltrated into the clone front. But please rest assured, we have solved the spies and the matter is temporary. It was not exposed, and we sent people to pursue her, but Yuna fled towards you. We destroyed her shuttle, but we did not find the core ejection cabin."

Katerina couldn't accept it. She lowered her head very hurt and was thinking about something. She and Yuna had known each other for two years, and in some space station operations, she and Yuna had performed together many times. Some dangerous missions, the two are very good friends.

Stukov patted Katerina on the shoulder. He could not accept Yuna's betrayal, but the facts were already in front of him. The clone front of Space Station 55 would not slander her.

"Katerina, Stukov, Weston, you have to find a way to find Yuna and get rid of her. She carries our important plans and is very likely to be used by your Space Station No. 69 and other armies. We have already sent messages to other space stations."

Katerina turned around silently and walked slowly. Stukov immediately stopped the others. After leaving the room, Katerina leaned weakly against the cold metal wall, pressing her forehead. Tears kept overflowing from her eyes. She covered her mouth. Her mind was filled with the past when she and Yuna performed some dangerous missions. They talked about everything, but what happened early this morning made Katerina completely emotional. The collapse happened, obviously before the plan was about to start.

Weston was silent and his expression was very serious. After thinking for a while, Stukov said.

"As soon as Yuna is discovered, arrest her immediately. First confirm whether the information has been leaked, and then..."

Many of the clones in the room were extremely depressed at this time, and several people from the Star Force comforted them, Weston said.

"You guys, call everyone and investigate carefully."

Weston looked at Stukov who was still thinking and asked.

"Stukov, where is that kid Hert? Where is he hiding? I think what Katerina said makes sense, just in case he..."

"There is nothing wrong with Weston. That kid is just a coward. He can't do anything. And I don't know where he is hiding."

Weston said nothing more. He left with the Star Force people. His chest seemed to have a hole and became cold. He knew very well that Yuna could not betray. He could only say that the cleaning of Space Station 55 had been completed. It started, and those who were on the clone front in the past should have died. These people on the clone front now were just created, and their memories were most likely tampered with.

Now Weston is sure that the First and Second Army should have participated and provided help to the Third Army. It is impossible to clone so many people in a short period of time with the technical resource reserves of the Third Army. Yes, but the Second Army can, they have the best resources and technology.

A group of subordinates behind him were all talking about Yuna. Weston didn't tell them anything. Since yesterday, Weston has been thinking about why humans can be so cruel. The clone front is supported by them. Over the past few years, Weston and many of his people no longer view these clones as tools.

West feels that they are not much different from humans, but humans treat them in such a cruel way. Now, these friends who have established feelings with him can only end up being destroyed and sent away. In the incinerator, West found it difficult to accept the thought of it, but he could do nothing and could only watch everything happen.

Because Weston would not betray Helt, he knew this better than anyone else, so he could only watch it all end.

After West left the executive building, he quickly saw the Star Force in a pair of carriers. The carriers were supposed to leave yesterday, but the carriers temporarily stopped here because they needed repairs. Weston He immediately leaned over alone. Among the star force belonging to the carrier ship, the general was among them. He couldn't see it because he was wearing a helmet.

"General!"

Weston approached a tall and burly ordinary star force and shouted softly, and Helt nodded slightly.

"Haven't found it yet?"

Helt asked, and Weston was a little confused. He didn't know what the general was referring to, whether it was his clone Helt or the escaped clone Yuna.

"Yuna!"

At this time, a petite Star Air Force person next to him spoke, it was Chief of Staff Feiya.

"There is no sign of any contact yet."

Helt looked at the bustling streets quietly. He had not been to the space station for a long time. He had been living on his own artificial base around the moon for these years, and would return to his home on the lunar base from time to time. The closest to the space station was I set foot there once six years ago.

"Commander Weston, if you find Yuna, shoot her immediately!"

Feia said in a low voice, and Weston nodded.

Hert looked at the embarrassed commander, and then patted his arm.

"It's okay. Everything will be fine after this incident passes."

Weston watched the general and his entourage leave. He lowered his head in discomfort. No matter what the final outcome of this matter was, he would become a sinner.

At this time, in the ruling building, Stukov was still waiting at the door of Katerina's room. He wanted to talk to Katerina, or comfort her.

Stukov felt a little uncomfortable when he thought about the kid Hert. He deleted Hert's contact code and didn't tell anyone which maintenance room he was hiding in. Stukov just didn't want to put him there. That kid was involved, and everything was terrible now. At least Yuna's betrayal made it difficult for many people to accept it for a while.

"Do you really think Yuna will betray you?"

Katerina in front of her looked very weak. She had red eyes and asked in a sad tone. Stukov nodded uncertainly, because the facts were in front of him, and now the general was here, and their clone front was the largest. The reason why they have been able to succeed again and again over the years is because of the support of the Third Army behind them. Only a few people know all this, Stukov is one of them, and neither does Katerina You know, although she has asked and guessed before, Stukov has never answered this question directly.

Although many clones were worried before that if they were used as flags or something like that, as things got deeper and deeper, many people got rid of such vigilance because they were already tied together. What the supporters behind the scenes have to offer is beyond imagination.

"Don't think about it Katerina, what we need to do now is to have a good rest and wait for the day when the plan starts."

Katerina tilted her head, still not believing that Yuna would betray her.

"I'll find Yuna."

9:23 am

Accompanied by a murmur, Helt, who was curled up in the space suit, opened his eyes. As soon as he opened his eyes, their eyes met for a moment. Helt smiled awkwardly. Yuna had already sat up, holding Hert in her hand. Walter's top, which covered her body, made her look much better.

"I need to see Stukov and Katerina right now. Boy, help me contact them. You are also a clone. Since you know everything, you should naturally know the seriousness of the matter."

Hurt shook his head.

"Can you tell me, miss, what happened, and my name is Helt."

Yuna stood up directly and put on Helt's shirt without any scruples. Helt was a little embarrassed and didn't know where to look.

Yuna walked to the control panel in the maintenance room and quickly gave up. There was nothing useful.

"Miss Yuna, you said yesterday that you were betrayed and the people on the clone front died. Who are they?"

Yuna said with a sad expression.

"It's the guys who have been silently supporting us behind the scenes. I don't know which army group they are from, but what is certain is that they are going to clean up all of us now."

Hurt gasped.

"This is too much. Aren't you going to participate in their plan to attack the lunar base?"

Yuna nodded and grinned slightly. Although the wound on her back had healed, it still hurt.

"Please Helt, help me inform Yuna and Stukov, this matter is very important."

But Helt was thinking about a problem. The Star Air Force's pursuers directly opened fire and destroyed Yuna's shuttle. As a maintenance staff, Helt knew very well that military shuttles are quite safe. The ejection cabin is in a sealed state isolated from the aircraft body. Once the aircraft body is severely damaged, the ejection cabin will eject directly and extremely quickly to several kilometers away, and will immediately send a distress signal to the nearby area.

If you think carefully about the flames of the shuttle you saw yesterday, they should have come directly towards this direction at maximum speed, most likely forcibly rushing into the space station.

Yuna was only wearing a simple one-piece space suit. The wound on her back should have been injured by the explosion before entering the shuttle. Hert looked at the many metal fragments that were taken out. A series of things happened to Hert. It's getting clearer and clearer in my head.

boom

Yuna slapped the control crystal panel roughly, but still couldn't find any way to contact him. She turned her head and looked at Helt angrily.

"Miss Yuna, you'd better calm down first. I find this matter very strange. Why would the people who support you behind the scenes do such a thing?"

Yuna gradually calmed down. She walked to the bed and sat down directly. Hert turned his head. He looked around and handed Yuna the cut-off one-piece space suit she wore yesterday. In the past, Yuna had no intention of putting it on, she cried.

"I don't know what happened. I questioned them, but they didn't say anything. They just opened fire and killed many of us. They didn't say anything until I escaped."

"Perhaps the situation has changed? They have to deal with you. There is a reason why they have to do this."

Yuna said nothing more. Helt looked around and took out potatoes from a storage bag behind him.

"Let's get something to eat first, Ms. Yuna."

After eating, Yuna's expression became more relaxed.

"Helt, help me."

Helt hummed. He felt that something was wrong, and the group of guys who could do this might have thought of all the ways to deal with it. If Yuna said it, their clone front had been betrayed. , the guys behind the scenes want to deal with them, but there has not been any firefight on Space Station 69 yet. It is certain that Stukov and Katerina don't know yet, and the guys behind the scenes have not taken action.

Then Helt let Yuna recover here, while he put on a bloated space suit. He first came to the isolation cabin outside the maintenance room, opened the door of the maintenance room, and floated out.

When we returned to the space station, it was already past 11 o'clock in the morning. Heldt saw many acquaintances along the way. They were all a little strange because Heldt was naked from the upper body. Heldt just told them that the clothes were worn because of his improper operation. , was burned, he came back to get repair tools.

Everything was normal on the street. Helt returned to the room he and Stukov rented. He found that nothing had been moved in the room these days. It seemed that Stukov had not come back. He found some clothes to change into. Finally, after getting a cup of hot water and thinking for a moment, Hert planned to go find Stukov.

After going out, Hert looked at the carrier docked in the airport in the distance from time to time. Why was the carrier that should have left yesterday still parked here? After asking about it, he found out that there was something wrong with the carrier. Repairing, and Stukov was also there. Hert brought some tools and planned to go directly to find Stukov.

Along the way, Hult saw many heavily armed Star Force people. They were all wearing helmets. Looking at the numbers on their chests, they did not belong here. At this moment, several Star Force people suddenly appeared. He leaned over, but before Helt could react, he was directly held up.

"What are you doing?"

"Recently, there have been some cases where the equipment is not accurate. Please help with the investigation."

A woman's voice came, and Hert looked at the female star force wearing a helmet in front of him with confusion. He was a little afraid, because it was true that he and Stukov had embezzled a lot of equipment and secretly took it out to exchange with others. Starry Sky Coin.

Helt also felt that these people were not the Star Force here, so he could only follow them. After a while, Helt was taken to the shop he often went to, and he became confused.

"Shouldn't we go to the Consulate Building?"

Helt could only follow them upstairs. On the third floor, there were people from the Star Force everywhere. Helt felt something strange. Outside an open private room in front of him, there were a large number of Stars holding weapons. military.

"Stukov?"

Helt looked at Stukov in front of him in surprise, as well as a middle-aged man wearing an ordinary Star Force uniform without a helmet. He looked powerful and had sharp eyes. He clasped his hands and looked at him with a smile. .

But the next second, Hert felt something strange, because the man in front of him looked very familiar, as if he had seen it before somewhere.

"Who are you."

Helt walked over quickly, and the man in front of him stood up, almost 2 meters tall as Helt.

"My name is Helt! I'm human."

In an instant, Helt took a step back in shock, his expression gradually becoming angry.

"Looking at myself when I was young, I really have an indescribable feeling."

Snapped

Helt's fist had already been punched and was pinched by the man in front of him.

"It's not okay to rely on clones like us to support ourselves."

Hult laughed, then shook his head and looked at Stukov beside him. The clone in front of him seemed very excited at this time.

"Hert, sit down first. His name is Hert Ivanov, and he is the general of the Third Army of the Sky Space Kingdom!"

Helt looked at his own body in shock. He didn't know what to say for a moment. He knew that the empire had five major armies, but for citizens of their level, they didn't know anything about it. There is no information about the group army in anything, or in the memories given to them.

"Why did you create me?"

Faced with the question from his clone, Helt said with a smile.

"I just wanted to end the misery of the clones, so I supported the clone front. Originally, I created you to replace me and complete everything, but in the end I gave up."

Hult was a little emotional, but he gradually calmed down, Stukov said with a solemn expression.

"You already know everything Hert. The general asked you to come here today. He didn't intend for you to do anything. He just wanted to talk to you."

Helt stared at his own body blankly. He didn't know what this man in such a high position wanted to talk to him about.

"You are just like me when I was young. You are cowardly and unable to do anything. You always have naive ideas."

Helt did not refute the main body's words. He was indeed such a person. At this time, Yuna popped into Helt's mind, and he held back the moment he was about to speak.

In front of him, his own body was still talking about some things from his youth, some of which Helt himself had an impression of. However, Helt was very angry that he was just created on the whim of his true body.

"What exactly are we, according to you?"

Helt asked, and the main body Helt shook his head.

"I can't answer your question. If you want to hear the correct answer for you, I can tell you."

Hurt shook his head.

"Although our lives are determined from the beginning, we have the right to choose!"

Hert looked at the clone in front of him in shock, and many people outside the room were a little surprised, especially Feiya. She was extremely impressed by this sentence, because it was the general's mantra, and the general did indeed do it. Arrived, leading them all to make a choice.

"Let's talk about it today. If we are free tonight, we can have a drink."

Helt said, Stukov stood up, and walked away with Helt looking angry.

After the two left, Helt sat down quietly and Feiya came over.

"What are you going to do about it General?"

"Destroy all clones on the Clone Front, including those who know about it!"

Feia bowed slightly.

"Right decision General!"

At this time, Jin Na, who had taken off her helmet, walked in.

"General, we have obtained the AI ​​memory simulator program block transmitted by Her Majesty the Queen."

Hurt stood up and ordered.

"Bring the wine I brought here. Tonight I want to say goodbye to my past self and my past father!"

Helt has thought clearly. Although he can't bear it, he is no longer the young boy who used to have naive ideas all day long. The only way forward is to move forward, and only forward can there be a future. Maybe he does It was because of the tragic situation of his father in the past and the oppression of the Third Army over the years that he developed a desire to resist. But now the Queen has promised everything, and many things that he did not dare to say in front of the Queen have been spoken by Hert. .

A word of apology and a bow that a king should not have made Hert feel relieved.

"You grew up in this country, Helt. I have been the king of this country since shortly after you were born. I am very sorry. I did the right thing for you and your family as a king, but as a human being It’s the worst thing to do, I’m really sorry, please forgive me Hurt!”

Hurt did not swear allegiance to the Queen just for such an apology and bow, but because the Third Army has undergone great changes in these years. Many people have gotten married and have children, and they no longer need to take care of everything. He's old, and his plan has been revealed.

"It's not easy to say goodbye to the past. I'm sorry to everyone, I let you down."

"General! Please don't say such things again. You are doing this for the overall consideration of our Third Army. As for the clones, it is just to end this miserable life."

Feya said seriously, and Helt smiled and closed his eyes.

12 o'clock sharp

Hert looked at Stukov blankly. He already knew about the betrayal on the clone front. Hert immediately thought of Yuna.

"What's wrong Helt? It's okay if you don't participate, just watch quietly."

Hert hummed silently. He thought of his own identity, General Hert. At this time, Hert became even more angry. It seemed that they had arranged everything, although they did not know that they did this. What is the meaning, but Hert knows very well that Yuna is not a betrayer. Looking at her sad eyes, you can tell that, as well as the tears she left, those who have feelings in Hert's opinion " "People" shed tears.
