Puppeteer [Interstellar]

"Why are there Zerg, where did they come from!?"

After a group of people crawled out from under the floor they were hiding in, their faces were filled with expressions of horror and lingering fear. The students started an inevitable discussion. It is normal for them to have such questions. After all, the Zerg would actually appear in the distant star No matter how you think about it, this matter is very abnormal.

"No matter how remote the distant star is, it is still within the Central Galaxy! Are the soldiers stationed at the border and the defense network at the border eating shit? How could such a large group of bugs come in!? How did they get in!? "

Some people raised more questions, and then some students focused their attention on Major Gary. As a major of the Union, Gary must know something about the military, so the students tried to get answers from him. .

But Major Gary also had a serious expression on his face. He shook his head at the students: "I don't know about this matter. It is very likely that some people put these bugs in with ulterior motives. Don't worry, we will find a way to return to the base."

Having said that, but when Gary observed the direction in which the group of bugs left, he quickly realized that the group of bugs was obviously heading directly towards the puppet master training base.

The training base is a huge and obvious source of heat on this planet. Those bugs have the strongest heat-sensing senses of all known creatures in the world. They can definitely sense that there are a huge number of humans in the base, so they will radiate towards The base is galloping away, it's obvious.

Going back to the base at this time, Major Gary and his group are likely to encounter more dangers.However, they are also very dangerous if they are still outside.

No matter what to do, it is very dangerous, but waiting to die will only speed up the process of death. Major Gary resolutely decided to take this group of students back to the base, but they had to make a detour.

You can’t take the same route as these bugs. You must avoid them to minimize the threat of encountering these bugs again. At the same time, Major Gary needs to contact the base. He will first tell the base headquarters about the bugs, and then request The base sent them a rescue team.

After making a decision, Major Gary took the students to another route and set off.

Where to go was a problem. After thinking about it for a long time, Major Gary finally continued to take the students to the next campsite. They had to stay outside for the night and completely avoid the Zerg that might appear nearby at any time before heading to the base.

The matter was urgent, and everyone walked in a hurry, but the speed was much better than that of the first day. It may be the threat of death from behind at any time, which made everyone feel anxious in their hearts, as if there was someone behind them. The god of death seemed to be chasing their lives, so everyone moved very fast, and they spent a long distance in the cold wind.

The icy wind is still howling, tormenting everyone's body and soul.

No one spoke on the way forward. In order to make the team move faster, this time, Major Gary asked his soldiers to hold the ropes, and a group of people lined up to advance over the rugged road over mountains and ridges.

Lyle and his family Scar walked at the end of the team, and at the same time, it was also to be able to observe the surrounding environment and possible crises in real time.

Gary, who was leading the way, also received a text message from the base at this time. The senior management of the base told Gary and his party that the base was attacked by a group of Zerg that came out of nowhere, and those bugs outside were trying to break through the defense network of the base. , and look for gaps and opportunities that might creep in.

The meaning of this base newsletter is to let Gary and his party find a way to spend the night outside, and then go back to the base through the tunnel.

Yes, there is a tunnel in the Puppet Master Academy. It used to be a tunnel used as a safe escape route, but it was abolished later. There are several reasons.

One is to prevent students from escaping. In the past, this safe escape channel was used by some students in the college as an escape route. In order to prevent students from escaping privately, this channel was abolished.

The second reason is that this escape route has basically no value in existence. It was originally established as an escape route for the rapid evacuation of personnel in the event of a particularly serious and vicious incident in the college, or when an attack was encountered. As a result, it was established For so many years, except that some students used it when they escaped, it is basically a decoration.

Since it was already a decoration, it would be better to abolish it, so the door of the safe passage was locked, and the walls were sealed, completely sealing it up.

But now the people in the base had to reactivate it. They had to re-cut the sealed wall and re-open the door.And this time, this passage is not for people inside to escape, but for people outside to escape back.

The exit of the safe passage leads to the west direction of the base. There is a huge cliff in the west. There is a very hidden cave entrance under the cliff. This cave entrance is the exit of the safe passage. Entering from this cave, you can also go back to the base in the opposite direction. Go, go all the way back is not a problem.

The problem is, if Major Gary and the others can use this safe passage to walk back to the base, then those keen bugs outside might also have the opportunity to crawl into the academy together when the passage is open.

In order to prevent this possibility, the base stated in the text message sent to Major Gary that they will only open this safe passage tomorrow from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm. At that time, Major Gary and others can take the students Come back, if they don't come back after this time period, the people at the base will block the passage again, and this time it will be completely blocked.

If you don't catch up with the time, then Major Gary and these poor freshmen will freeze to death outside.

This approach is understandable to Major Gary, but when Gary looked at the group of young people whose faces were blue with cold, he also had to sigh.

Gary has always known the cruelty of the Puppet Master Academy. From the first time he came to this academy, he vaguely realized that this academy, these puppets and even the puppet masters are the dark side of the alliance government.

They took these cruelties to the limit.

But Major Gary is powerless to criticize and stop, because he knows that if it is not like this, if there are no puppet masters and golems who have been trained under such cruel training, and if there is no this academy, then human beings will have no future. Human beings have no future 800 years ago. Perished under the claws of the Zerg.

Although Major Gary is wise and sensible, he knows this. He knows that this is the best and most correct way of doing things. The Union government has only fulfilled its due responsibilities. all mankind.

But when Major Gary saw Scar next to Lyle, he still couldn't help it, couldn't help the hatred in his heart. He hated the Zerg, the Alliance, Lyle, and even himself.

The brother who was born and died has now become a monster, a dog who can only obey orders, who would not find it ridiculous, who would not hate it?

……

Five years ago, Loris Gary and Scar Reginald were fellow students who graduated from the same military academy, and they were also good comrades in arms who were born and died in the same army. They once blocked the Zerg's footsteps on the battlefield together. For a long time, they have given their backs to each other unconditionally.

In the eyes of Loris Gary, Ska is undoubtedly the best comrade-in-arms. Ska has never been as reckless as a recruit, but he also has his own tactics and combat awareness. Give him his back without hesitation, because of him, Gary will never have to worry about attacks from behind.

Conversely, Gary is also Scar's best partner. After so many years of cooperative combat, the two have fully understood each other's personality and fighting style, and have the best tacit cooperation, so that Gary once thought that as long as they When the two are together, there is no enemy that cannot be killed.

But that day, Scar was taken away.

At first, he got the news that Scar died on the battlefield, but when he heard the news, Gary's first reaction was... Which idiot is joking with him! ?

Because Scar was not on the battlefield at all!Scar and his team had just completed a very good combat operation perfectly, and then retreated from the battlefield to the rear for a short rest. During the rest time, Scar said to Gary: I went out and strolled in the camp lap.Then someone told Gary that Scar was dead.

Walking around the camp will kill you?

What an international joke!

Are the soldiers, sentinels and defense nets guarding around for nothing! ?

Gary didn't believe it at all. Although he didn't believe it, he was also a little anxious at the time. He immediately went out to look for Scar, but he accidentally saw Scar was taken away by a group of officers with the rank of school. From the day he was taken away, Scar never came back.

Not long after, the news of Scar's death was announced in the sacrifice list of the whole team. The army also passed the news to Scar's parents and relatives in his hometown, and even sent sympathy money there.

It's just that Gary is very clear that Scar is not dead, but he doesn't have the guts to tell others, because this is the behavior of the alliance government. As a soldier, a soldier who absolutely obeys the orders of his superiors, there is no room for interference or rejection.

So Gary shut his mouth. He shrank into his shell and regarded himself as a coward. It is a sad and vicissitudes of face.

That was the first time Gary felt hatred, he hated himself, he couldn't do anything, he couldn't even tell two sad old men that your son wasn't dead.

So later, Gary decided to investigate why Scar was taken away.

This investigation has been going on for five years from the very beginning. He spent five years using various methods to climb to the position of the major now. The position of an instructor.

When he knew how the puppeteer and puppet were born and their origins, Gary had vaguely guessed why Scar was taken away.

It's just that he still had some luck, and this luck lasted until Lyle entered school. When Gary saw Scar beside Lyle, everything ended here.
