imperfections

However, this is not the time for a war of words.

Technically speaking, the rainbow virus has indeed been conquered. If this is an era of peace, then even in the sewer-like eighth galaxy, the rainbow virus may not cause any serious consequences.But now it has come to the point of exchanging nutrition needles for supplies. In case a large-scale plague spreads, it is impossible to control the situation with the manpower and material resources of Silver Nine.

What's more terrible is that this skeleton man caused panic in the narrow alleys and crowded crowds. The terrified small vendors scrambled and scrambled to avoid him. The screams and fears had spread before the virus spread. Different small carts and robots with insufficient intelligence crashed into a ball, blocking the narrow passage, making it impossible to move an inch, and it was about to cause a stampede.

Lin Jingheng stretched out her hand and pushed Lu Bixing to the corner. At the same time, she stepped on a sloping shed next to her and jumped up, grabbed the outer window sill of the second floor, and threw herself up with her hands.The person who was peeping out the window was frightened by General Lin who suddenly jumped out, sat down on the ground, and ran away like a ghost.

The broken window sill, which had been in disrepair for a long time, already had small cracks, which could not withstand the weight of an adult man. Lin Jingheng stepped on it, and the cracks on the window sill were ready to bloom.Some restrained shirts did not affect his movements. Lin Jingheng only stayed on the window sill for a moment, and immediately used his strength to pounce on a broken flagpole a few steps away. , The earth and rocks fell into the crowd, and the unfortunate few who were recruited almost had the illusion that the world was turned upside down, fearing that the world would not be chaotic, and spread rumors on the spot: "There is an earthquake!"

And the flagpole is not a Dinghaishenzhen. Under the huge impact, it is difficult to bear the weight. Lin Jingheng climbed up the toppled flagpole with the excellent sense of balance unique to the Space Force. The part connected to the bracket was broken, and it fell forward along the street, like an extraordinarily tall pole in a pole vault. In the stairwell on the sixth floor of the small building.

Lin Jingheng braced himself with both hands to absorb the shock, and rolled into the stairwell, jumped to the top of the building in three steps and two steps, and chased the skeleton man from above.

When the chaotic flow of people swarmed in, Lu Bixing immediately picked up a little boy who was too late to run, and lifted it high above his head——when people run forward chaotically, this kind of old man who happens to be stuck in front of the crowd Young, sick and disabled people are very easy to be pushed down, and once someone falls down, it will cause a domino effect in such a narrow street.

People, animals with two legs that can't run fast, are no safer than wild horses if they step on them in groups.

"Hush——" Lu Bixing smiled at the little boy who was about to cry, put him on a high place, and hacked into the commercial street broadcast like a melon through a personal terminal connected to the Galaxy City Intranet. Afterwards, he sent a The small program for recording was used as a microphone. I pulled out a small pocket pistol from my pocket, switched it to blasting mode, removed the silencer, fired three shots into the sky, and said loudly through the radio: "Stay where you are, don't move!" !We have antibodies to rainbow virus!"

The crowd was stunned by the sudden loud noise, and there was a brief moment of silence.

Lu Bixing took a breath, and the voice came from the radio in the commercial street: "Hi everyone, the Silver Ninth Guard Corps of the Alliance Silver Fortress has now taken back the eighth galaxy, and has just taken over the anti-Uganda base three hundred miles away, and will soon rebuild eighth star system. The order of the galaxy, please don’t panic, the emergency antibody for rainbow virus is one of the military’s standing medicines, if you have any abnormal reaction, please seek medical attention immediately for isolation treatment, and send it to the base for treatment.”

He spoke one word at a time, with a clear sense of strength, but not aggressive, and the panic of the crowd gradually receded.

"This is a narrow alley, it is easy to cause stampede accidents, I repeat, everyone should not panic, disperse freely, and evacuate in an orderly manner," Lu Bixing said, "Rainbow virus has not been terminally ill as early as a hundred years ago, please believe, the alliance Will not give up any citizen... Please, let me live for a while."

The people of the eighth galaxy have always been immune to the false rhetoric of the alliance, but they saw Lu Bixing passing through the crowd, walking fast but not in a hurry, against the flow of people, chasing in the direction of the skeleton man's escape, as if they didn't catch the rainbow at all. The virus looks serious.

This indifferent attitude is an effective tranquilizer.

"Citizen shit, never heard of it, I belong to the public, not the people."

"What did he just say, what kind of legion took over the base? Does it mean that we have changed the government again?"

"This son of a bitch government changes more than socks."

"Who are you? What do you do in the league? Does your words work?"

Lu Bixing smiled and poured cynicism into his ear, neither angry nor responded—he was in the mood to curse and point at him, which showed that his rationality had returned, and he would not trample the child to death after all.

The pointing crowd made way for him, and Lu Bixing passed by fairly smoothly. Seeing Lin Jingheng waving at him not far away, the skeleton man disappeared.

Lu Bixing was taken aback: "What, is it a space field?"

Lin Jingheng contacted Baiyinjiu at the base, said something to the other end, and nodded at Chonglu Bixing—just now when the skeleton man saw him falling from the sky, he was so frightened that he activated the space field and escaped.

The ground space field is quite similar to the space jump, but the principle is different. The ground space field can be said to be a torture. Whoever wears it will know, and anyone who is strong will have to peel off the skin. That's it.

"Are you crazy?" Lu Bixing raised his wrist and quickly collected the remaining energy radiation, "If he passed through that state, he would have to be torn apart before he landed—what about the time for the other party to jump into the space field?"

Lin Jingheng: "Standard time, 28:[-]:[-]."

"Okay, you wait." Lu Bixing rolled up his sleeves and quickly simulated an energy attenuation model on his personal terminal. Time seemed to be frozen in his hands. He followed the trace and caught a faint line, and quickly restored the skeleton man Opened the space field, and gave a precise description - the ground space field usually has 36 to [-] parameters, and Lu Bixing's personal terminal jumped out of the [-] parameters of the space field.

"The destination has been deduced." Lu Bixing passed the coordinates to him, "I will send them to Turan Guard Captain at the same time."

Lin Jingheng sneaked out of Ulan College back then, stole Zhanlu and sent Lu Xin to escape, using the space field, because the space field is extremely difficult to track, it is a major security risk, and many places will issue interference signals targeting the space field.He had never seen such a coquettish operation.

"Nothing," Lu Bixing shrugged, "This trick can only be used within 3 minutes after the space field is opened. After 3 minutes, the energy decays almost, and the surrounding weather conditions will change accordingly. The tracking and positioning error often exceeds [-] kilometers. It doesn't make sense."

Lin Jingheng's remote control mech vehicle stopped at the nearest intersection, and entered the coordinates of Lu Bixing's location: "Has this technology applied for a patent?"

"No," Lu Bixing said, "I made this for fun when I was young to run away from home."

"Okay, I will buy it out in the future, and pay you patent royalties every year based on A-level military technology."

"Wow," Lu Bixing followed him into the armored vehicle, "General, do I count as being taken care of by you?"

As the voice fell, the mecha car seemed to be startled by his words, and "flyed" out directly to the ground. The huge acceleration slapped the people in the car side by side on the back of the seat.

Because Lin Jingheng was speechless too many times, she was silent for a while, she didn't know whether it was out of anger or helplessness, but she actually laughed.

Afterwards, he opened the small storage compartment on the roof of the car, and saw that there was only one space field balance agent left in it, so he stabbed Lu Bixing like lightning.

Just after Lu Bixing finished his mouth addiction, he was caught off guard and received an injection, "Aww" said in a loud voice, "Mr. Lin, if you are in a nursing school with your level, you will have to repeat the grade for eight years!"

"There is no nursing school in the first galaxy, and the medical department only has the direction of scientific research." Lin Jingheng said, "Sit tight, I will open the space field."

Everything around him began to distort, grotesque, chaotic energy changes violently, and the instruments on the mecha car made all kinds of harsh noises. Lu Bixing felt that his internal organs had been pestered in. The injected balance agent quickly took effect, isolating the sad He felt as if he had become a rubber man who could be pulled at will.

A few seconds later, the mecha passed through the space field and landed at the new coordinates. It immediately issued an overheating alarm and almost jumped on the ground before stopping. The energy bottomed out.

Lin Jingheng didn't care about the impact because she had experienced the semi-finished space field quadruple jump with a mortal body, but she staggered when she got off the car, and stood firm without waiting for Lu Bixing to help her.

From the map, the base is located in the southwest of Galaxy City, and here it should be north of Galaxy City.

This seems to be the site of an abandoned factory. In front of the two of them there is a small man-made ditch with a layer of unfinished garbage floating on it. Standing full of crows.

The clock on the clock tower is still running faithfully. It is different from the "standard time" in the hands of Lin Jingheng and the others. It is the "private calendar" of Venus.Because the autobiographical cycle of each planet is different, in fact, each planet has its own timekeeping method, and "standard time" is only used by arrogant interstellar travelers.

Lu Bixing himself likes to play with all kinds of strange technologies, so he often feels that other people have a few "secret weapons" in their pockets. Although he complains that the other party is crazy, he still believes optimistically that the reason why the skeleton man dares to pass through the space field with his bare hands is that Maybe it was because they had some black technology props - such as a more stable balancer... until the two of them picked up the man's body under the big clock.

Countless crows hovered over the carrion, salivating, but out of biological instinct, none of them dared to come down to take the first bite.

Lin Jingheng put on gloves, took off the skeleton man's coat, and found that his spine seemed to have been broken into several pieces, and his whole body was twisted in a strange posture. His left arm was basically rotten. The joints connected by Kankan were broken, and the forearm with the hand bones fell more than ten meters away—it was found under the guidance of the crow.

"Why?" Lu Bixing asked incomprehensibly, "Did he...did he open the space field in a hurry before he heard what I said?"

Lin Jingheng didn't say anything.

When Lu Bixing shouted on the radio, they actually heard them all, and the skeleton man just opened the space field after listening.

Because those high-sounding big words are really too wishful thinking, and they have beautified both the people and the alliance, and everyone feels weird looking at each other.

The Union Charter stipulates that the Union will not abandon any citizen.

And the citizens of Galaxy Eight are not citizens.

Just like the alliance collectively refers to all outsiders as "pirates", the eighth galaxy is a wild place between the "civilized world" and "pirates", and the people in the eighth galaxy are not interstellar pirates who can be punished by everyone But they are barbarians who are inextricably linked with them—similar to the cannibal tribes who drink blood, and they are not my race.

In the center of the alliance, everyone knows that the government of the eighth galaxy is a symbolic meaning, and its main task is to show sight and make up the numbers. The anti-missile system in the capital Gloria was more than 100 years ago, when Lu Xin just recovered the fashion of the eighth galaxy. It has been nearly 140 years since then. The vicissitudes of life, that thing has not been upgraded once.

Because of the semi-autonomous state of the eighth galaxy, it is difficult to collect many taxes and fees, and the financial allocation of the alliance is even more sporadic, and the government often falls into the dilemma of having no money to pay salaries.Lin Jingheng found a work card from the dead man, which said "Eight Star System Central Government Representative Secretary-General", which seemed to be bought at a flea market for five yuan to play house.

Lin Jingheng took off his gloves, dug out the emergency medical kit in the mecha car, found a disinfection spray gun from it, and cleaned up the virus-infected corpse: "I'm so sick, I don't hesitate to start the space field and run here. There should be companions, I Go in and have a look, you are waiting here."

Lu Bixing didn't listen to him and followed him in.

Lu Bixing, who was still talking glibly just now, was silent for a long time, stepping on the grassy ground, he suddenly asked: "Lin, if you were still in the Silver Fortress when the pirates invaded on a large scale, would you give up the eight-year plan if you had to? Galaxies?"

"If I were still in the Silver Fortress, the interstellar pirates would not have entered the alliance at all." Lin Jingheng paused, did not say polite words to him, and said bluntly, "As for the eighth galaxy, of course it is also the territory of the alliance, but if necessary , we will not stick to it. A strategic temporary withdrawal is acceptable."

Lu Bixing: "If necessary, I will abandon the eighth galaxy like abandoning a desert, right? Not only you, but the alliance will also choose this way, and the ideology of the entire society thinks so."

Lin Jingheng acquiesced noncommittally.

"Because we are savages in the desert, and we don't know our position. When the alliance comes, we are the alliance members, and when the pirates come, we are pirates. Without soul and wisdom, talking about the alliance charter and the declaration of freedom with us is just playing the piano against the cow." Lu Bixing nodded, deeply Take a breath, and look at the barren and distant night... Lin Jingheng is not a smooth politician, he doesn't know how to do those big and useless performances, and because the bastard is used to it, he doesn't even bother to maintain the universal values ​​of political correctness, as long as he treats you as My own people basically only respect objective facts and say what they have.

Lu Bixing: "So... If the rainbow virus really breaks out on Venus, Baiyinjiu will evacuate directly, and will not waste medical treatment... Forget it, you don't need to say it, I understand, it's a matter of course."

Just like no one thinks that animals should have the same rights as humans except for extreme animal rights groups - cats have no portrait rights, dogs have no privacy rights, lab mice have no freedom of speech rights, and the league's most elite troops will not Because chicken plague stays, it is a matter of course.

"Baiyin Nine is the smallest of the ten Baiyin guards. It is a forward assault force. It does not have the quality of large-scale rescue and disaster relief, nor does it have the public coordination ability and material reserves." Lin Jingheng said flatly, "If there is something that cannot be controlled If the plague breaks out, direct evacuation is the only option.”

So it's better not to have this happen, he thought, using his personal terminal to connect to the armored car, and turned on the virus monitoring on the protective cover.

However, the strange thing is that there is no big movement in the virus monitoring, but the armed alarm is on.

Lin Jingheng suddenly grabbed Lu Bixing by the shoulder and moved him to the side. At the same time, the laser gun hit the place where Lu Bixing was standing just now, and Lin Jingheng's sleeves were scorched black.He shot back, and there was a cry of pain from behind the glass window of the abandoned factory building. The two quickly looked at each other and rushed in along the edge of the factory building separately.

Lu Bixing kicked open the broken door in the factory building, just in time to see a staggering man running towards the corner dripping with blood. The festered skin on the back of his neck was obviously infected with Rainbow Virus.

"Hey, wait a minute, we are not pirates from the Anti-Ukraine Society," Lu Bixing called him, "No malicious intentions!"

The other party turned a deaf ear.

Lu Bixing: "You are from the government of the Eighth Galaxy Alliance, right?"

The man paused, turned his head full of vigilance, and pointed at the muzzle of the gun tremblingly that he must do it.
