The Scum Shou's Survival Guide

Ye Ming prostrated himself on the ground, his body trembling, and his face was filled with pain, he said, "I, I understand... Please forgive me..."

Those huge golden eyes looked at Ye Ming, and after a while, a deep voice sounded in Ye Ming's mind again: "Remember, you were created by me, I can give you supreme glory, and I can also take it back , let you sink into endless pain."

Ye Ming recalled those days without day and night, where there was no passage of time, no light, and he could not feel his own existence, only despair and pain, but he couldn't even lose consciousness. The pain and torture made him want to go crazy, but But not crazy.

His eyes were full of fear, he pressed his forehead to the ground, and said in a trembling voice, "Yes."

Hicks is very satisfied with Ye Ming's obedience, this is its most perfect creation, the most proud masterpiece... But maybe it is because he is too perfect, like a real person, that he can produce his own Subjective consciousness is also trying to get rid of its control.

Hicks said: "I can give you another chance, if you fail again this time, you come back and become one with me, and I will let you live in my body forever."

Ye Ming's body trembled again, such a terrifying eternal life, he might as well die.

Suddenly, countless tentacles on the ground pierced Ye Ming's body violently, wrapping him up. Ye Ming immediately let out a shrill scream, knelt on the ground with his back straightened, his pupils constricted, his voice was hoarse, and he opened his mouth to say ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah ah the sound of.

The color of his blue eyes, which were as blue as the sky, changed little by little, and gradually turned into a charming violet, and the soft golden hair turned black one by one, and his handsome face also changed little by little...

This terrifying process lasted for an entire hour, and when those tentacles were pulled away from his body, a completely different person appeared there.

A young man with short black hair, purple eyes, and ordinary appearance.

Ye Ming lay there, his lips opened a gap, panting desperately, but even breathing was painful, that nightmarish experience didn't disappear with the cessation of the transformation, but rooted into his consciousness. source deep.

A constant reminder of his obedience, that even death is a luxury, because he belongs to Hicks, body and soul.

Those huge eyeballs stared at Ye Ming for a while, showing a satisfied expression, then they closed their eyes and walked away slowly, the surrounding tentacles closed again, and the light gradually disappeared.

A deep voice echoed in Ye Ming's ears: "Go, my child. Use Ke Sen's head to prove your loyalty to me."

………………

[Ye Ming: This is a god-level plastic surgery. It takes a short time to get quick results, and there are many items without side effects. What does skin grinding and bone removal count? 】

[888: No side effects? 】

【Ye Ming: Well...it seems to be a little painful, but I still have you O(∩_∩)O~】

【888: Hehe. 】

【Ye Ming: I knew that Mr. Hicks is omnipotent!Can always help me pave the way, so that I can finally go back and not be afraid of being drowned in spit!Hahahahaha! 】

【888:...】

Ye Ming was lying in a flight cabin. Although he pretended not to wake up, 888 had already informed him of the situation outside, and now he was on his way to the 'Fortress of Mu He'.

After the destruction of 'Fort Laris' and 'Fort Redrick', the only remaining 'Fortress of Muhe' is the last steel line of defense for human beings.

After experiencing the tragic lessons of the previous two times, the fortress of Muhe is now heavily guarded, and anyone who enters or exits must be strictly checked, especially the army.

But no matter how strict it is, this fortress is too huge, spanning dozens of star fields and hundreds of habitable planets, so besides the army, there are also many civilians living here.It was difficult for Hicks' men to infiltrate the army, but among the civilians, there were still many of his people. Even under the long-term fear, there were humans who turned to Hicks, and Roy was not the only one.

The new identity that Hicks prepared for Ye Ming was called Calvin, and he was just an ordinary low-level non-commissioned officer in a peripheral force, serving in a fringe planetary patrol force in Muhe Fortress.

When Ye Ming woke up, he found himself lying in the officer's dormitory. This dormitory was very simple, with only two iron beds and a desk. It seemed that he was living with another person.

He fumbled in his pocket, and there was a pair of memory-reading glasses in it, which should have been prepared for him by Hicks' people.

Ye Ming put on the glasses, pressed the switch, and some memories belonging to "Original Kawen" were read out. These memories should be forcibly extracted from the soldier's brain. According to the current technological means, this can indeed be done. But the memory will not be very complete, just like forcibly grabbing data from an encrypted computer with rough means, it is extremely destructive, and the person will inevitably be brain dead after being read.

Ye Ming sighed after reading it.

He was just a very, very ordinary soldier, because his whole family died under the attack of strange beasts, so he joined the army alone in grief and indignation, but his ability was ordinary and he had no background, and he had only been a corporal for so many years.

【Ye Ming: The person chosen by Hicks is really a poor guy. 】

【888: This is not Hicks' choice. 】

【Ye Ming: Oh? 】

[888: Roy chose him. He has been doing well in recent years, and he is about to catch up with your popularity back then. He is now a senior colonel.He has been secretly working for Hicks, and occasionally helps Hicks arrange his subordinates to infiltrate. 】

【Ye Ming: I don't think he knows that Hicks asked him to arrange me this time, otherwise I guess someone will anonymously report my identity as an infected person and send me to the execution ground by tomorrow at the latest. 】

【888: You guessed right, he doesn't know. 】

Ye Ming was relieved, and smiled with the corners of his lips curled up. Although Roy had made great contributions to Hicks, and he had betrayed Hicks, but now it seems... Hicks still values ​​himself more.To him, Roy is just a despicable and weak human being like an ant. Hicks just squeezed his use value from the beginning to the end, but he won't let him know too much, and he didn't even know his true identity this time. tell him.

But Ye Ming's eyes flashed immediately, Hicks let him back so easily, is he convinced that he has completely surrendered, or does he have other plans?

Just when Ye Ming was thinking about what to do next, the door of the room was suddenly pushed open, and a small man walked in. It was Cavin's roommate Charlie.

Charlie had freckles on his face, short chestnut hair in a mess, and was wearing a dark green military uniform. He looked at Ye Ming and smiled, "Kavin, why are you back? Didn't you say you're going to take a three-day vacation?"

Ye Ming lowered his eyes and said, "Anyway, there's no one else at home, I just paid homage, so I came back early."

Charlie looked at Ye Ming's downcast expression, thinking that he was still sad about his family's affairs, he put his arms around his shoulders and smiled and said, "Come on, buddy, let's go out for a few nights to drink, one day we will kill those monsters of!"

Ye Ming's eyes darkened for a moment, he checked Calvin's memory just now, and learned something about the past three years.

The Calvin family originally lived in Fortress Redrick, but it was only because Calvin went to Fortress Mucher with a caravan to purchase goods that the war broke out, and his family and Fortress Redrick all lived together. Turned into dust together, not even the bones left... So I set up a tombstone for my parents and sister in the public cemetery here, and warned myself not to forget the pain at the beginning, and I would go there once a year to pay homage.

Ye Ming clenched his hand hanging by his side tightly. In fact, he originally wanted to die. At that time, he begged for forgiveness in extreme pain because he wanted to get rid of Hicks' control and seek relief, but Calvin's memory made him change. idea.

Although he destroyed the information at the time, there was still a traitor who betrayed mankind... This traitor was undoubtedly Roy, and he was the only one who had this condition at the time.

He had to tell Cosen to be on guard against this traitor and expose Roy's identity.

Ye Ming didn't care about his own stigma, but the tragic war and the dead people still made his heart ache... He didn't know why he was like this, as a creature of Hicks, he wouldn't and shouldn't care about human beings , but he seems to really regard himself as a human being.

Feel the joy, anger, sorrow and joy that belong to human beings.

Charlie looked at the sadness and pain in Ye Ming's eyes, and thought to himself that this old man seemed to be immersed in pain and couldn't get out, and he didn't know how to comfort him.

Although his family is intact, who knows when those monsters will come over?Then the huge, majestic and indestructible Fort Rederik was also destroyed, as well as Fort Laris... Are human beings really invincible?

Or... one day, I will be destroyed here too?

But what if even this place is destroyed?Where should they go?Where else can I escape?After that... there are countless fertile human territories.

Will the monsters eat him and his family too?

Charlie sighed, forced himself to smile and said, "Don't think about it, go out for a drink! I have an appointment with some friends, let's go for a walk."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but pull Ye Ming out.

Ye Ming was absent-mindedly pulled out by Charlie, and went to a restaurant at the end of the alley. Low-level non-commissioned officers like them like to come here. There are rough but strong old wine, large pieces of animal meat, and things that are not wanted by rich and noble families. Cherish the leftovers of the ingredients... There are also charming and charming strippers, who can spend the night with you for a few tens of dollars, which is cheap and beautiful.

The restaurant smelled of alcohol and smoke, Ye Ming frowned. He instinctively didn't like this, but Charlie pulled him to a table and sat down.

There were already a few people sitting there, all soldiers from the same battalion, and they knew each other very well.

They asked Calvin one after another: "You came back from vacation? Isn't there another day?"

Charlie was afraid that Ye Ming would be sad when he thought of his family, so he quickly interrupted: "What's wrong with the day earlier? Stop talking, where's the wine? By the way, will Miss Lilina be on stage today?"

Hawke poohed him: "I'm interested in Lilina first, don't compete with me."

Charlie stuck his neck: "Then let her choose by herself later?"

Hawke sneered: "Don't be silly, it's useless for her to choose both of us. I think she has liked Calvin for a long time."

Ye Ming was taken aback for a moment, as if he hadn't thought why the topic suddenly came to him.

Hearing this, Charlie glanced at Ye Ming, and said dejectedly, "Forget it, we can't compare, we can't compare."

Although Ye Ming's current appearance is very ordinary compared to his previous appearance, and can only be regarded as handsome, but under the backdrop of a group of rough men, his delicate features suddenly become attractive.

Ye Ming felt a little embarrassed, and said, "I won't fight with you."

Where is he still in the mood to think about women, at this moment he can't help but think of Ke Sen.

There are some fragmentary memories about Corson in Calvin's memory. After Fort Redrick was breached, Corson was injured many times, and he led the army to fight before finally retreating here smoothly, but his blood and hard work survived. People in the distant and peaceful capital planet can't feel it at all.

Corsen was called back for investigation and questioning, and he suffered a lot of criticism, rumors and attacks.

If it wasn't for me, the marshal of the military department, the hero admired by everyone, wouldn't have to bear these things at all.

Ye Ming couldn't help the painful emotions in his heart, he didn't know why he was in such pain, maybe this was the emotion of a human being.

At the beginning, he approached Corson under the order of Hicks, and gained his favor little by little, but at some point, he seemed to really like him and the people around him. He didn't want to see this place destroyed, He didn't want to see his lover, comrade-in-arms and friends die... So when he fled here with the materials, he suddenly regretted it, and he realized that it was impossible!

So he resisted Hicks' control and destroyed the materials he had stolen.But as an infected person, he will be exposed one day, so he couldn't return to Ke Sen's side, and was about to escape from here, but unfortunately he was caught back.

It's just that the course of fate has not changed because of his change.

Everything seemed to be controlled by a pair of ruthless hands. He did not betray, but in the end it was human beings who betrayed human beings.

I still became the reviled traitor, and Cosen was still implicated by him...

Although he didn't want it, Roy took advantage of his authority.

The people he loved, the people he cared about, countless planets, innocent people and soldiers died because of him.

Seeing Ye Ming's distracted look, Charlie shook his head helplessly, and started talking with the others, without quarreling with Ye Ming.

At this moment, the strippers began to perform on stage. Several people watched and shouted, winked at the women on stage, and there was a lot of noise around them.

Hawke said: "Have you heard? Marshal Corson may come here for inspection recently!"

Charlie: "I heard about it! But our F876 base is so big, even if he wants to inspect it, he is inspecting the Special Forces. He probably won't come to us... Ah, I really want to meet him, my idol!"

Hawk nodded sharply: "I really want to see it with my own eyes, by the way..." He seemed to remember something very angry, and slammed the table angrily: "I was chatting with my distant cousin who was studying in Lakaxing some time ago. , she heard that I was serving in the Muhe Fortress, and she asked me what kind of person Marshal Ke Sen was, and wondered if he was a real human hero... There are always people on their side who suspect that Marshal Ke Sen also has problems, otherwise, how could they be with Ha I was entangled with that traitor Wei. I was so angry that I blocked her immediately!"

Charlie's eyes were burning when he heard this: "I'm so mad, we are here to die, risking being eaten and trampled to death by strange beasts at any time, they live in those peaceful places but only know how to point fingers! If there is no Marshal Kosen , We are already dead, so he still needs to betray us? If he wants to betray us, Lord Hicks has already reached the capital star!"

Hall said angrily: "Isn't it? They don't understand such a simple truth, and they talk about it all day long. It's that traitor Harvey who deserves to be damned! It's that monster who betrayed us and deceived the Marshal, the Marshal Because he paid so much! If he is still alive, even if I risk my life, I must kill him!"

Charlie kept nodding his head in agreement, and there was echoing voices all around.They all accused those people living in a peaceful area with no worries about food and clothing for not understanding the sufferings of the world, and dared to doubt the loyalty of the Marshal. However, the people living in Muhe Fortress would definitely not think so, and the Marshal was the god in their hearts.

Then everyone changed the subject again, and began to curse Harvey with the most vicious language.

Ye Ming's face was pale and bloodless.

Charlie was filled with righteous indignation and scolded dryly, turned his head to see Ye Ming's appearance, and said in shock, "What's wrong with you? Are you sick?"

Ye Ming's deep purple eyes were full of sadness and regret, he shook his head and said in a low voice: "I'm fine."

He really deserves to die. It is said that the infected people were originally human beings, so he should have been human before... But why did he become a descendant of Hicks?He has no memory of his past, but he has his own feelings.

He didn't want to be manipulated by Hicks anymore, he didn't want to hurt humans, he didn't want to destroy this place.

Ye Ming's hand was slowly clenched, making his previous thoughts even more firm.It is not a pity for him to die alone, but Roy is still alive and well, and is highly valued... He will definitely betray mankind.

He may not be able to find out every infected person and traitor, but he can at least expose Roy's identity and never let him have another chance to betray Cosen and humans.

Just what should I do?He doesn't have any evidence, if it's just empty talk, who will believe him?Do you believe that the famous Colonel Roy, the rising star of the military after the destruction of Fort Redrick, is the real traitor?

His current identity is just a low-level corporal, and he doesn't have enough weight at all, but even if he is willing to use his true identity to speak out, others will only think that he is slandering Roy and dragging Roy into the water, except for being executed. For any use, maybe people will trust Roy even more.

No one would choose to believe an infected person, a traitor on the pillar of shame.

Ye Ming sat there, although the surroundings were noisy, but he seemed out of tune with all of this, his heart was cold and silent, isolated from the world.

On the way back at night, Charlie said to Ye Ming: "Don't be sad, I also feel sad seeing you like this."

Ye Ming knew that Charlie was kind, so he forced a smile: "I'm fine, just sleep and I'll be fine."

Charlie didn't say anything, just patted him on the shoulder.

Charlie slept deeply at night, and soon began to snore.Ye Ming lay on the bed with his eyes open, his expression heavy and sad.

【Ye Ming: No, it's too noisy, I can't sleep, I'm going to kill someone to silence it! 】

【888:...】

【Ye Ming: It's better to find a way to meet Ke Sen first. It's a good opportunity for him to come here for inspection. I'll try to get his attention in one fell swoop! 】

【888: You look different now than before. 】

【Ye Ming: So I have to think of a way^_^】

………………

Ye Ming returned to the team after his vacation. The work of the patrol army was heavy and had little technical content. It was performed by people with average physical and professional qualities like him and Charlie.

They are in groups of two, patrolling in different areas, maintaining law and order and responding to emergencies. If infected people are found, they will be immediately reported to special forces for removal.

But this period of time was fairly peaceful, the alien beasts did not attack, and there were no disturbances in the city.

However, the army at the base has been rectifying. The soldiers who used to be disheveled have put away their sloppiness and dressed neatly every day. They didn't go to Huajie and Liuxiang.

Ye Ming has always been preoccupied, and misses Ke Sen very much... Although he can always see Ke Sen in various videos and images, he is still the perfect human God of War, showing people his powerful and indestructible side .

But Ye Ming knew that these were just appearances, and how heavy a blow he had dealt to him could be seen from those rumors...

Even Charlie and the others feel so resentful and unwilling for Corson, so why not themselves?None of this would have happened if it wasn't for him.

But Ye Ming didn't want to see Ke Sen just because he misses him. What happened to Roy made him worry about it, and he didn't have the chance to contact the upper class at all... If he could take the opportunity to get close to Ke Sen and make Ke Sen suspicious of Roy, it would be great .

Time passed quickly, and finally came the day when Cosen came to inspect the army.

The chief of the F876 base nervously put on his most formal clothes before dawn and waited outside the mansion where Kesen lived temporarily. Until the golden sunlight in the distance shone on him, he saw the front door opened , a man came out with his back to the light.

The man was tall and straight, with straight and slender legs, a black military uniform with a belt around his waist, and shiny military boots covering his calves. The golden badge on his shoulder reflected the morning sun.

The base officer's nervous palms were sweaty, and he slowly raised his head.

The man has a heroic and resolute face, a pair of handsome eyebrows and eyes under the short brown hair, dark red pupils with a majestic chill that makes people dare not look directly at them, thin lips are sharp, and the curvature of the jaw is cold and hard. His facial features are perfect in every way , combined into a handsome face like a sun god.

He didn't smile, but just looked over with a calm expression, which made people feel awe. It was the awe-inspiring murderous look that had gone through the sea of ​​swords and blood.

Every achievement of this man was achieved by himself. In this era, only soldiers who have truly bathed in blood deserve the respect of others!

The base chief put his legs together and saluted, with a loud voice: "Your Excellency, Marshal! Please let your subordinates lead the way for you!"

Ke Sen nodded, still without a smile on his face, he looked a little cold, but no one minded this, everyone knew that His Excellency the Marshal didn't like to smile, especially in public places, almost no one had seen his smiling face.

However, the base chief heard gossip from other bases that the Marshal used to laugh in private, but no one seemed to laugh anymore.

Cosen and the base chief came to the barracks together. The troops who were going to be inspected and inspected were already waiting there. When they saw Cosen and the chief coming, they all stood at attention and saluted, all looking at Cosen with fiery eyes of admiration.

Corson scanned them, eyes piercing.

Three years have passed, and the battle with Hicks has been going on. Although Hicks has started to hibernate and has not launched a large-scale attack, no one knows when it will attack again, and who else is here? is a traitor...

So Corson did not take it lightly, and asked the army to be vigilant all the time.

But this is a very hard and tiring job. As the commander of the army, he not only has to take the lead in killing the enemy, but also encourages his soldiers, giving them courage and strength.

So after finding time, Cosen chose one hundred of these bases and came to inspect them. This is the 99th one. If he goes to another one, he will return to base star A001, which is the core of Redrick Fortress. .

The result of the inspection was quite satisfactory. Although it was only a very remote small base, the soldiers still maintained good combat effectiveness and vigor.

When it was over, it was already evening, and dinner was also eaten in the barracks.Everyone knew that Corson was always frugal, so the dinner was very simple, without any extravagant food.

The chief of the base doesn't usually eat so simple. Although he doesn't waste money, he doesn't wrong himself that much, but he must keep a low profile in front of Cosen.

The marshal dislikes those officers who search for civilians and squander their money the most, because the marshal believes that protecting civilians is the duty of soldiers, and now that the war is urgent, any squandering behavior is not allowed. Every penny of money should be used to fight against alien beasts Therefore, frugality should start from himself, from every officer.

For this reason, he began to rectify the discipline many years ago, and executed several officers who oppressed the civilians and searched for money. These years, the military discipline has been strict, and the atmosphere is much better than before.

For example, Charlie and Hawke, although they occasionally go out to drink flowers and wine to decompress, but they dare not do things that really bully others.As for such trivial matters, no one cares about them. Soldiers go through life and death, and no one asks them to live like ascetics.

What Cosen wants is an army with combat effectiveness and clear military discipline, but it will not be overly strict and make people complain, and it knows how to relax.

After dinner, Corson walked back accompanied by the base chief, and took a look at some facilities of the base.

Along the way, the soldiers saw Cosen and saluted him respectfully.

Ke Sen kept walking back until he was about to leave when he saw several soldiers standing at the gate, one of them with his back turned to him... Ke Sen suddenly stopped in his tracks.

The soldier was wearing an inconspicuous dark green military uniform. He should be just a low-ranking non-commissioned officer. There was no difference among the others, but Ke Sen narrowed his eyes, and pain flashed quickly in his eyes.

That person's back is so familiar.

He will never forget that back view... The person he once trusted, admired, and loved with all his heart betrayed him in the end.

Ke Sen stood there for a long time, but in fact it was only a blink of an eye. He thought it was ridiculous that his eyes were stung by a back.

It couldn't be that person, it was just a person with a similar back.

Ke Sen raised his feet and was about to continue walking forward. At this moment, the man seemed to feel something. He turned around, and his eyes immediately met with Ke Sen.
