People's Federation will live forever

"Wake-up procedure in progress."

In the No. [-] Cloning Center—or in the No. [-] Hibernation Center, on the control panels of the ninety hibernation cabins, the red lights have turned into green lights.The clone has undergone rapid growth, and its body is fully mature and ready for shipment.

Large quantities of liquid nitrogen were sprayed throughout the facility to create a cryogenic atmosphere - which of course tricked the clones.As the countdown reached zero, the cloning chamber began to discharge artificial amniotic fluid. Under the blue glass cover, many soldiers of different shapes and races showed their appearances.

The cabin heats up, and the temperature is controlled in a suitable environment for the human body—"Cabin, open!"

"Sergeant: Apostle Albert Holkera, please confirm your physical functions."

The cold electronic sound rang in Sergeant Albert's ear, and the black sergeant slowly opened his eyes—this is... How long have I been asleep?

As if he had had an eternal nightmare, he felt limp all over, and he couldn't use any strength in his hands.The sergeant opened his mouth, but he could only let out a whimper of unknown meaning.

As if seeing his plight, or to comfort his emotions, the electronic voice replied: "Don't worry, this is a normal hibernating syndrome symptom. You have been sleeping for a long time, and your body functions have not fully recovered."

The black man nodded, understanding the statement.Then several probes protruded from the cabin, piercing into the limbs and spine, and some light blue liquid was slowly poured into his body.

"Cytoactive agent is being injected...you can go out of the warehouse."

The body seemed to gain strength at once—Albert raised his hands and feet respectively, and the feeling of weakness disappeared instantly. The muscles in his arms and abdomen began to straighten, and a muscular tough guy took shape at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Sure enough," seeing himself gradually returning to his original appearance, the sergeant was finally able to speak: "Our fraternity is number one in science and technology in the world!"

Lifting his legs and stepping out of the cabin, his field of vision suddenly widened. Like him, many brothers walked out of the cabin at the same time. They curiously observed the surrounding environment and greeted each other.

so cold!Hibernation means that you can't wear clothes. Each of them is naked, and there is still a mist of liquid nitrogen floating around, and Albert can't help shivering.At this time, the exhaust system of the facility started to operate, and the temperature slowly returned to normal temperature.

"Sergeant!"

It was their former comrades-in-arms, they recognized themselves.Albert's eyes scanned the people around him, and the memory emerged from the depths like a floodgate—it turned out that all the people around him were from his own company, and the team he led was still there!

In the depths of the Quantum Matrix, the watcher watched the touching reunion scenes in the cloning center, his black and white faces remained unchanged.As for the memory arrangement of the clones, it completely followed the arrangement of the ontology - it was enough for the soulless soldiers to have the Intellectual Control Corps, and the Brotherhood needed professional soldiers with a clear division of labor.

"The implanted memory has been successfully matched, and the first apostle company of the Black Hand Legion has been formed."

A soldier card appeared on the matrix round table and was recorded in the file.At this time, the watchman felt a surge in the quantum matrix, and an angry voice resounded throughout the soul realm——

"Watcher, you dare to act without my order!"

The ontology is back, it knows.The black and white Li De turned around, and the person standing in front of it was really Li De himself with a gloomy face - he received the message and came back.

"Welcome back, Commander."

------

"Black Hand Legion, First Apostle Company, gather at the MCV in 3 minutes!"

The host's voice sounded in the "Hibernation Center", and the soldiers stopped greeting each other and became serious—each of them is a soldier who has received strict training, and the imprint of discipline has penetrated into their brains.A row of equipment was sent into the facility by drone. This is their armor, but the style seems to have changed completely.

"We've hibernated...30 years, what's it like outside now?"

This question troubled all the soldiers, but no one spoke, they all just silently armed themselves.

Put on a jumpsuit first, and then put on the black carapace armor—the composite plastic-steel material can provide the defense of equal-thickness steel plates, but it is as light as plastic, and the sprayed carbon fiber coating is heat-resistant and wear-resistant , The style of the breastplate and helmet has changed, it seems to have absorbed the style of GDI, at least their original tall cylindrical helmet has been replaced by a full-covered helmet with trapezoidal sides and pentagonal front.

Hmm...Although I feel very unhappy, but now GDI and the Brotherhood have reconciled, and they are all fighting for mankind under the leadership of the leader Li De. Strictly speaking, everyone is now brothers, so there should be no grudges It's a little thing.

After putting them on, ninety warriors wearing black outer capes and inner red capes lined up neatly. Their company commander, Priest Maxion, walked to the gate of the facility first, and flicked the capes: "Apostle company, move forward!"

Albert led his brothers to follow the team forward. They held their heads high and held their chests high. Although they had no weapons in their hands, they still had an indomitable momentum. They were apostles, practitioners and martyrs of the Brotherhood's teachings, Since the Brotherhood awakened him at this time, it meant that he had a glorious task to entrust to him.

They expect sacrifice.

"These soldiers are all DNA samples of excellent soldiers I collected in the third Tiberium War and made them by gene editing. I have made a lot of interventions in memory, shaped their entire lives for them, and given them It gives the purpose of survival." Li De told the watchman that in the Quantum Matrix, he could also see these soldiers through the base's monitoring system.

"I'll talk to you about the issue of exceeding authority later, and you first repeat the story I made up."

The watchman stood behind Li De, and the main body turned its back to him to express its dissatisfaction. This reaction was included in its calculations, not to mention that the two of them were originally the product of schizophrenia with one heart.For Li De's order, it accepted it wholeheartedly:

"The third Tiberium War, until the destruction of the Great Temple in Sarajevo, and the explosion of Tiberium attracted the Scrin, which was completely consistent with history."

"Different from history, the Scrin's force almost completely destroyed human civilization, and GDI was powerless to resist and was forced to join hands with the Brotherhood. The Scrin built a threshold tower and sent troops continuously, and 90.00% of human beings were wiped out. Command Officer, Kane's physical body has been destroyed. As the existence of Brotherhood Kane and the artificial intelligence Legion, you have integrated the Brotherhood and the GDI remnant army, and led mankind to make a final fight. By seizing the authority of the Threshold Tower , you lead the remaining human beings to escape from the collapsed earth, and travel through time and space in zero-degree space, hoping to find a new home for human beings.”

"You are the incarnation of Kane, and you are the master of mankind. Although the reason is not perfect, there are no loopholes in logic."

Li De nodded, and then continued to ask: "Then, explain to me about the resurrection of General Olivia."

Chapter 26 General Olivia

"Please explain to me about General Olivia."

General Olivia didn't know how the watchman explained to Reed.Now she was sitting on the operating table with blank eyes, as if unconscious.The mechanical arm has been retracted, and a folded piece of clothing is presented to her through the console.

"The work of rebirth is complete," a voice sounded in her head. "Welcome back, General Olivia."

The woman raised her head, her beautiful face looked at the ceiling of the laboratory, and she stood up from the operating table naked.She raised one foot, then gently put it down, the cold touch was transmitted from the metal floor to her feet - "The temperature here is very low, but I don't feel cold."

Olivia spoke, a strand of silver hair hung in front of her eyes, she raised her hand to stroke it, but suddenly stopped, her eyes fixed on her hands—what a pair of perfect hands, like a musician Slender fingers, white and delicate skin, no scars, nothing wrong.

"It's not my hand."

There was a sigh in the woman's voice: "My hand should be full of scars, it's not so perfect."

She lowered her arms and took a step forward. The woman's steps were light and elegant. She let her figure be exposed to the light, with perfect curves blooming from the chest down, not caring at all that there were scientists standing outside the laboratory.

"The body is functioning normally, the core is stable and exerting force, and she has mastered how to control it at once."

"There is no rejection reaction in the body, and the synchronization rate of the artificial nerve and the spine connection is 90.00%. The third phase of the Lazarus project is a success."

The saboteurs compared the data with each other, and their words were filled with excitement. None of these mad scientists paid attention to Olivia herself.He couldn't wait to ask when the next experiment would start, but to his disappointment, the host asked them to return to their original positions immediately after collecting the experimental data.

After the saboteurs left, the host continued to talk to Olivia.At this time, the general gently pressed the armrest of the operating table, and with a force, the steel armrest bent and deformed under this slender hand.

"General, please don't deliberately damage the Brotherhood's property. The output of your body and the leader's body is not much different. Please reduce the output to avoid accidents."

"So, it really isn't my original body?" The woman smiled lightly, but she didn't know what to think, "Can the purity of our human beings really tolerate such a deliberate change? The duty of the black hand is to cleanse the dirt and mutation, but now I myself sink into the quagmire?"

"Former Black Hand Legion Commander, the Brotherhood needs you to continue leading your troops," the host did not respond to Olivia's question. "This is the agreement you and the leader signed in the Siberian Tomb - don't let your subordinates become the intelligence control army, and you fight for the new brotherhood."

"If you forget the details, I can remind you."

"No need." Olivia shook her head and said playfully, "I remember very clearly, I still remember what the leader said to me, can't you allow me, the ghost of war, to feel sad?"

"Since the fraternity needs me, of course I won't refuse," she said, picking up the clothes prepared for her, a sense of familiarity welling up.She put on a standard shirt for herself, and then looked at a pair of stockings, she couldn't help laughing:

"The leader chose this for me? Has the fraternity stopped wearing leather jackets?"

The air became quiet... An existence in the Quantum Realm coughed a few times.

"I'm just complimenting the leader's vision." She smirked, and put on the stockings from her ankles. Even the fabric is made of military-grade materials. I really don't know what has become of the fraternity now.

Putting on short leather pants and boots, General Olivia donned a short hooded waterproof coat and was ready to go, "Boom. Boom" - she tapped her heels on the metal floor and it felt right .

"I want to speak to the leader."

After a few breaths, one of the storage compartments in the laboratory opened the hatch, and a spare body of Li De came out of the compartment. Unlike Li De at the other end, this body not only changed slightly in appearance, but also wore a In the uniform of the army, he came over to stand with Olivia, both of them were 1.8 meters, and Olivia was taller than himself in high-heeled boots.

"Hello, General, I think it's better to talk to you face to face." Li De stretched out his hand. It's not the first time the two have met, but thanks to the watcher, it seems that his arrangements will be completely disrupted. .

Olivia raised her eyebrows: "Oh? It's a great honor to meet our respected leader." She held Li De's hand, but said mischievously——

"I thought our leader was obsessed with being with little Native girls, things inside the Brotherhood of Heartless!"

"Haha..." Li De laughed dryly, the two shook hands, and then he said: "It seems that the watcher system has told you everything."

Olivia had an expression that I knew more than this: "Yes, you also used subconscious projection on a little indigenous girl, which is deceiving girls!"

"Okay, let's talk about business..." Li De hurriedly skipped over, "To be honest, I didn't expect to wake you up so soon."

Olivia also became serious, and she nodded: "When you entered the tomb of Kane Seal and connected to my consciousness, I did say that I would sleep forever. I have paid too much for the war. I'm not interested in playing another match. What's more, you told me that Ascension to Heaven was just a scam, and my efforts were in vain."

"However, thank you for freeing my soldiers from the fate of turning into cyber monsters and not tarnishing their honor. Since the Brotherhood needs me, I don't mind fighting again."

The two people's messages are transmitted to each other through the data link, and they seem to be constantly changing expressions.Li De stretched out his hand, motioning for Olivia to accompany him out of the laboratory.The two continued to talk as they walked, recalling some of the past with each other.

"The form of war has changed a lot. Not only is GDI no longer our enemy, but under my arrangement, they are also part of the power of the Brotherhood." Li De said, "There are still many mysteries in the current world. , including whether the human beings here are the same as us, but the purpose of the new brotherhood is for all human beings, I hope to integrate the human beings in this world, if possible, we can complete the true sublimation of human beings here."

"That's why you went to help those refugees yourself?" Olivia asked, "I understand your need to collect intelligence, but this kind of thing allows the army to be more efficient."

"It's not that simple. There are some special people in this world. I have to do this." Li De shook his head. "But since the initial arrangement is not reasonable, it is only natural to make adjustments."

Suddenly, Li De stopped Olivia, and on the last journey away from MCV, he formally said to the woman:

"General Olivia, the former commander-in-chief of the Black Hand Legion, the head female monk of the NOD Brotherhood, I grant you the power to regain control of the Black Hand Legion, you can use all your means to deal with this war against the other world, and the Brotherhood will do everything possible Provide you with all resources."

Olivia put her hand on her chest and bowed to Li De: "I will take on this responsibility with all my honor, for the brotherhood."

"For the Brotherhood."

The gate opened, and ninety soldiers assembled outside saluted the two in unison.

(Additional note for new readers: The style of the previous article is different from the latter, almost two books. If you read the single-player adventure I wrote for fun, it is not to your liking, and you think the protagonist is too reckless, deliberately reckless, please don’t rush to read it. Judgment, it was arbitrary and irresponsible when I first wrote the book, and I don’t want to change it after too long. But from the resurrection of the Brotherhood to the establishment of the People’s Federation, it’s another story, old readers can vouch for 2333.)

Chapter 27 The Endless Path of Purification

Outside the MCV gate, a high platform slowly rose from the ground, and Li De and Olivia walked up the high platform side by side, one on the left and one on the right.Under the stage, soldiers of the First Apostle Company stood nine vertically and ten horizontally.

Company commander Maxion, No. 1 in the left column of the first row, took a step forward. He took off his helmet and put it across his chest, shouting in a loud voice:

"All loyal ones who are determined to dedicate their lives to the noble cause of human sublimation!"

"Hail to our noble leader, guardian of humanity, personification of the will of the Brotherhood, guide of humanity's destiny!"

With a clatter, all the soldiers took off their helmets, knelt down on one knee, held the helmet in their left hand, and rested their foreheads in the right, and they all responded unanimously: "In the name of justice, we will dedicate our loyalty to you! You are Kai The incarnation of En, the embodiment of the will of the Brotherhood, the light of punishment that destroys all enemies of mankind!"

Kneeling represents the obedience of the body, and holding the forehead represents the dedication of the soul. All these are connected to dedicate the whole body and soul.Fanatical believers chanted Li De's holy name. This was because Li De compiled their memories for them, but more because the Black Hand was originally the most fanatical and steadfast religious police organization in the Brotherhood, a pan-religious group. .This kind of ceremonial behavior is really from the heart.

Li De held up on the stage, completely accepting all these compliments, without a trace of expression on his face, but what he was thinking in his heart was...

This feeling, I won't be paralyzed on the throne one day, right?

General Olivia looked at all this calmly, as if he had already gotten used to it.Her eyes moved to Li De, she lowered her head and took a step back.The apostles also waited for his order. If he didn't speak, they could kneel here all day.

"Soldiers..." he opened his mouth, carefully recalling the way Kane gave his speech at the beginning, and then opened his arms, as if to embrace the soldiers in front of him. "My brothers!"

"After this long journey of wandering, we have finally arrived in the new world, and the new dawn has unfolded before us! This is the promise given to us by fate, we will always stand under the light, brotherhood, forever live!"

The soldiers burst into applause: "Long live the brotherhood! Long live the leader!"

"How much pain we have experienced, how much suffering we have endured, but none of this has knocked us down. All soldiers who are loyal to me, and all believers who have selflessly dedicated themselves to the great cause of human ascension, this Promised Land is for you Reward for loyalty, we will complete the sublimation of mankind here, just as the prophecy said!"

"For the brotherhood!" The apostles shouted frantically, their voices getting louder and louder. Surrounded by the cheers, Li De waited for a while before waving his hand to signal the crowd to quiet down, and then he talked about The Brotherhood was defeated on Earth, and he led the survivors to escape. Then, he began to talk about this world called Sira and the reason for awakening them.

"We must find a living space for human beings, and wash away the filth of this world with blood and fire!"

"Look!" He raised his right hand, and the holographic image projected the appearance of an orc, which was General Vam lying in the laboratory.The soldiers looked at this ugly alien in amazement, what a disgusting monster!They violated every tenet of the Brotherhood, and a feeling of extreme anger and hatred ran through the crowd.

"These dirty aliens are entrenched in the bottom of this planet, spreading like cancer. They are cruel, bloodthirsty, and launched a frenzied attack on the native humans of this world. Not long ago, they also fought against the Brotherhood, they It is the enemy of all human beings and an obstacle to the progress of human beings! I ask you to destroy these aliens with incomparable determination and the most utter hatred!"

"And likewise, the men of this world, whose leaders are cowardly and foolish, have brought about this war. They cower in their walls and fortresses, neglecting their own people. And likewise, see us as a threat, Right at this moment, their satellite system is targeting us!"

"These cowards are not worthy to lead humanity. The Brotherhood will take action. Humanity here will either join the Brotherhood's cause or be stopped along with their heresy! Warriors, in this time of crisis, I call upon you, take up arms , to practice the brotherhood's way of sublimation."

"Burn heretics to death, kill aliens, all authority belongs to the Brotherhood, and the manifest destiny of mankind will surely come true!"

The apostles responded in unison: "Burn heretics to death, kill aliens! Use the fire of purification to liquidate this world!"

Li De turned around and led Olivia to the front: "I know your leader, General Olivia, the High Priest of the Brotherhood, and the Chief of the Black Hand Legion. I have appointed her to lead you in this liquidation operation."

Olivia nodded slightly, "It's not bad, but it's still far behind Kane."

As she spoke, she walked to the front of the stage, looked at the apostles who bowed their heads and obeyed, and solemnly declared——

"This is a never-ending road to purification! All loyal fighters, follow my orders, go to the armory to pick up your weapons, and immediately march around the base. We must open up a safe space for the Brotherhood !"

"Your will shall come true!"

...

Li De's consciousness was slowly stripped from the body, and sank into the quantum matrix, where the watcher was waiting for him.The speech just now was considered impromptu, and the rest can be handed over to the new commander. I can't do two-line operations for too long.

"Welcome back, Commander." The Watcher still had his expressionless face, and the welcome words sounded insincere.

"You really caused me a lot of trouble." Li De sat on the chair and watched the watcher.Watchmen persuaded the host to transfer permissions to it with a whole set of testimonies that were hard to refute on their own, but the problem wasn't just that.

"Expanding the defense space of the base, speeding up the arming of soldiers, and even opening the third phase of the Lazarus Project in advance are already realities. The risk of exposing the Brotherhood, and potentially letting Tiberium go out of control and pollute the planet, I need your explanation."

The watchman bowed to Li De, and the black and white self said calmly:
