People's Federation will live forever

"Bah, where did you get a girlfriend!"

As soon as Bud finished cursing, others also started to say: "Boss Bud, I also had a dream, and it felt like my soul was out of my body. There is something on that boat."

There is something on the boat... In other words, Bud was the same just now, but what he saw was that there was another self on the boat. It was the self who was successful and famous, loved and loved by everyone... the one he wanted the most .

This is indeed like a dream, but some things are not only fantasy, but also the real sense of happiness generated in the brain as if I were really at the apex of that life. It is a very fascinating feeling, and I can’t wait to come again once.

What the hell is going on, what kind of devil is on the boat attracting him?

"Bud, I think of the day ten years ago, when the two of us were first caught by the leader."

Cole walked over to Bud and said, as if he had returned to the outskirts of Orton City that year, when Li Zhi faced them and instilled images into their minds—Bud, Cole, They were the first batch of people from the People's Federation to come into contact with Li Wei himself. They never shared this memory with others, because from then on, they knew from the bottom of their hearts what Li Wei was.

Although Li Wei was very wronged, he talked about it with them afterwards, and he said this:

"I didn't brainwash you, but there are some monsters, they put things in people's brains, plant a seed in your heart, lead you to think in the direction it gave you, and finally, make you feel that it is you Ideas and put them into practice, unaware that they are being controlled.

Even if you escaped from the prison by chance, you will never know whether you are the original you, and you don’t know whether your thoughts are your own, or whether you are still in the vicious circle misled by it. , Turn and turn, I don't know if I can get out.The only way to free myself is to shoot him in the head. "

That bastard Li Ming still didn't forget to scare them. He used a device called a "subliminal projector" at that time, but now Renlian knows that it has something to do with anima.They also didn't know that the monster Li Wei was talking about was a demon named Kane, but Bud remembered Li Wei's definition of this kind of behavior-"spiritual pollution", or, in other words, "meme".

It's been a long time, and I seem to have forgotten it, but everything that happened here reminded Bud of that scene——

"Everyone stay still!"

He yelled to get people's attention on him, and Captain Bud, as a responsible captain, gave the order: "We get out of here immediately, do you hear me? VI, set course and take us away from this ghost place?"

"Why, Captain, aren't we going to board the ship and have a look?"

"You want to make us rich, you can't count your words, Captain!"

Bud didn't expect that what he was facing was one after another of protests. The crew members who had opposed the approach just now were clamoring to board. This kind of contrast made this tough guy not know what to say for a moment. He was about to Explaining that he was thinking about their safety, he suddenly heard an alarm.

"Alarm, illegal exit, warning, illegal exit, crew member XX drove the drone carrier ship to leave the ship without permission, repeat..."

Damn it, I forgot those people who were still on the upper deck, they were controlled by something, and they were heading towards the Seagull!

Something is wrong, everything around him is very wrong, the crew is getting louder and fiercer.When the people on the deck left the ship first, this emotion seemed to be ignited. They all quarreled to get on the ship and asked themselves to open the cabin to let them out.

During the frenzy, a crew member covered the slightly red and swollen place when Bud slapped them to wake them up, and rushed towards Bud viciously: "You hit me, you just hit me, right! I'm not finished with you, Go to hell!"

"Liar!" Another crew member pulled out a short knife for cutting cables, and stabbed it with the knife in his backhand, "You are a liar!"

Crazy, all crazy!

This was the thought that came to Bud's mind at the moment when he was overwhelmed by the crowd again, and then——

The tall and mighty Cole punched the kid on the cheek, dislocating his jaw so hard that he flew out.The majestic body of the combo grand slam player is like a mountain, and he is also from Sylla, but the generation that grew up after the war has long stopped exercising his body, so facing the crazy and out-of-control crew, Cole is like He grabbed a person with one hand like pinching a chicken, lifted them upside down and threw them out.

"Bud, are you okay?"

On the other side, Bud caught a wrench waved by the opponent with both hands with one hand, and the opponent fell to the ground with just such a flick.But the crazy man jumped up to save his leg and was about to bite down—but Bud, a veteran, likes to wear hard boots, and he still does, so he didn't bite his teeth.

"I'm fine, don't blame them, I brought them here, it's my fault."

Two veterans of many battles, how could these young men who had just graduated from Sylla University fight?The two of them were light-handed, and after falling on them a few times, they lost their physical strength and collapsed on the ground, unable to move, and their spirits seemed to become extremely exhausted, each of them wailed, and a high fever broke out on their foreheads.

This scene made him very sad. There were only two normal people left on the scene, himself and Cole, but there were not many of them. If there were six people, one of them would resist three and drag them away: "Quickly, send them to the infirmary and give them an injection." Tranquilizers should give them a break."

"Four people passed by on the Lobster, were they also controlled by something on it?"

Cole carried one on his back, and threw people into the medical cabin one by one with both hands. It was easy to do this in a vacuum, so the ship was done, but the few people who ran away just now...

"Bud, Bud! Are you listening to me?"

As soon as Cole turned around, he saw that Bud had drifted to the control area of ​​the workshop. The equipment blueprint they had entered before had been printed and manufactured. It looked very familiar, as if it was what they wore during the Moon War. The one that uses nano-materials to strengthen the defense, and uses the shell-type combat suit driven by exoskeleton.Although it is far from the heavy infantry's Typhon armor suit, it is already the strongest armor they can get legally.

In terms of weapons, although the hard electron laser gun is not a very good weapon, it cannot fire fully automatic, but we did not say that it is not powerful enough.However, Bud also unambiguously produced a contraband "flail" electromagnetic shotgun. Looking at Cole's eager eyes, he sighed:

"Don't count on it. I can't make ammunition for the cavalry style. I don't have time to make nitrocellulose."

"I thought you were omnipotent, Bud."

After the bickering, Cole stretched out his fist and touched Bud's fist: "But the combination of the two of us is absolutely invincible!"

The red light of the deck elevator was on, and Bud and Cole drove a SEA mecha, carrying a plasma welding torch for metal work and some ore explosives, striding towards the decompression chamber.

"I will talk about the plan one last time. This time there are only two of us. The goal is to land on the Seagull, bring those idiots back, and take a look at what happened on the ship. Turn on the video for the live broadcast on the ship, understand? I did. Three-point file to avoid accidents, otherwise the legal department will not understand that we are actually saving lives."

Cole's mech stretched out his hand, and the mechanical hand made an OK gesture: "No problem, but we have already sent a message to the emergency department, haven't they responded yet?"

The mecha thumped to the door of the decompression chamber, the rockets on its back were filled with fuel, what they were going to do this time was a hard landing, and as the second most powerful combat force in the Human League, Bud will never be a Vague person: "There is a delay in the round-trip signal, and they should be on their way now. I reported what happened, and I don't know if they received my warning."

Bud himself didn't know what to say. After all, who would believe that "people who enter this area will go crazy"?

"Bud, I still don't understand why only the two of us can stay sane, and the others... God, Bill, a brat, would never do something like pointing a knife at someone. He is a good boy." Cole said somewhat Sad, these two tough guys who walked through the field of life and death actually have kinder hearts than anyone else, "And the people from the emergency department, what if they also come over and become like the crew? This is a fire pit. Save each other one after another crazy here, dead here, this... what should I do?"

Bud fell silent, and the decompression chamber in front of him began to suck out the air, and slowly opened, revealing the deep and dark starry sky.The tiny opening looked like a huge mouth, waiting to swallow them both.

Dark Universe... turns out that's not an adjective.

"I don't know why the two of us are fine, but if there must be a reason, it's probably because we both have experienced it a long time ago, as if we have immunity. And if I have to say, who can figure out the reason behind it, There is probably only one person who can handle this.”

Bud took out the terminal from his arms and chose to start it without any hesitation.

In the stable operation of the quantum channel, the signal transmission...

"Respect... Forget it, to make a long story short, bastard, we have encountered a problem here, and it is still a big problem!"

Chapter 9 Ghost Ship

"Captain's Diary: Renlian 11 Years (Scylla)."

Holographic images can display more information than simple video records. The projection of the micro-blue brilliance is scaled down at a ratio of 20:1 and presented on the console. The holographic images perfectly record the captain himself—that is, Benjamin Mr.'s posture and expression, and it seems that he was quite optimistic when recording this video.

On the desktop of the console, the image was like walking on the floor of the captain's cabin, and he continued:

"We found the asteroid, and the data from the spectroscopic analysis are consistent. We also sent probes. There are obvious heavy element reactions in its core. I think it is it. Our golden star, it seems Lady luck is on my side."

Benjamin was pacing, touching his chin with one hand as if thinking, then raised his head and gave an order to the management VI: "Delete this file from the recording center and transfer it to my personal storage. Program Instruction 144, reason: deletion."

Now the image file is private, so you can speak with confidence.

"I know it's greedy, but I can't help it. The company's intention is the same. The ship has also voted. No one else has discovered this asteroid. If the target is reported according to the regulations, such a large asteroid cannot Random collection requires open bidding, and the profit will be much lower at that time, and the quota will be given to others... Not to mention the company, I am not reconciled."

This is the rule set by the People's Federation in the asteroid belt. Those large asteroids are of extremely high value, and people compete for interests. If they follow the principle of first come, first served, there will be conflicts.Therefore, the People's Federation's solution is first to divide the collection area, and then any asteroids that are not on record and whose volume exceeds a certain limit must be reported to the Storm Harbor network before collection, and a valuation auction (tax payment in advance) will be held.Of course, whoever finds out first has priority quota.

That's why Bard directly called the Ministry of Justice tax collectors. To be honest, this system is simple and rude, but there are only such rules at the moment. It is always better to have rules than no rules, but the fear is that some people will not follow the rules.

"We won't go too far, and we don't dare to fight against the legal department. The company's idea is that we go offline to explore this golden star and figure out the distribution of rich ore. Then the company will contact friends to write the script. When the time comes, we will conduct the normal bidding after we investigate clearly, and operate on both sides to maximize the benefits... Anyway, we didn't harm anyone, we were the ones who discovered it first, didn't we?"

For good reason, so was the captain.Benjamin of the holographic image took a step forward on the console: "This is the first pot of gold in life. I think of my father who often said that no matter how good a person is, it depends on whether there is an opportunity. There is no doubt that I The opportunity has come!"

Benjamin in the holographic image is full of ambitions. He is a tall and strong man, with a head of brown hair combed back meticulously on a high protruding forehead. The "little" Benjamin is facing the edge of the console, and less than ten centimeters away from the luminous figure, the captain Benjamin himself is resting his chin on the console, the corners of his mouth hooked and holographic Image exactly the same smile.

Two Benjamins, one big and one small, were facing each other's eyes, and a smear of dried blood covered the tabletop of the console—there was only one Benjamin's head on the tabletop, and his neck had been separated. The blood from the carotid artery sprayed the entire room from the floor to the ceiling.And the flatness of this head is also due to the smooth incision, look!How could such a perfect cut be made if it wasn't for careful chopping?

So, who did all this?Who took the captain's head off?

Of course, it was the body of Captain Benjamin who was wandering around in the captain's cabin, leaving his head but not hindering his movements, and the bones of his hands sticking out of his wrists strangely, and becoming as sharp as a knife!

"What the hell, I won't do this job, it's something people can do!"

Even a warrior like Bard couldn't help shivering when he saw such a scene, and turned off the projection screen in front of him without a sound.He once broke into the orc's burrow, and fought against Beta's flesh mill. He is not afraid of blood and death, but this weird scene?

"Resurrection of the dead? This is unscientific! Also, how can a human body mutate into such a ghostly appearance? This is simply against common sense! I mean, this is not a balance between quality and energy!"

What people are most afraid of is these horrors that violate common sense and break their own concepts. As a scientist, Bard's focus is very strange but also very sensible-the ghost thing that breaks the conservation of mass and biological boundaries is beyond the norm Physical means, an enemy of this level... can't be provoked, let's say goodbye.

But a stern scolding voice sounded in the cockpit of the ESA mecha: "Don't make a fuss about me, I will carry the sky when it falls, cheer up!"

This voice is so familiar, it is Li Wei, the leader of the People's Federation, relying on Bud's quantum communicator terminal, a corner of his mind watched here from XX kilometers away at the speed of light.Bud and Cole, these two guys successfully caught Li Wei's attention, and made the "murder" that happened in the outermost corner of the People's Federation territory unfold in front of the People's Federation leader.

Praise quantum technology, except that it can only be point-to-point and cannot be popularized, it is very likely to save the entire People's Federation today - although even the initiator Bud does not have this self-awareness, the appearance of Li Wei is the biggest guarantee in the world.When the leader of the People's Federation witnessed the scene in person, it probably means that the entire state machinery of the People's Federation is in operation, ready to resolve the matter in the most efficient way, right?I hope so, but I don't know exactly what Li Zhi is going to do.

"I don't see anything that doesn't conserve mass. If you're talking about unreasonable mutations in flesh and blood, have you ever considered that something like nanomachines may have entered flesh and blood to control the wreckage?"

Li Ming's voice continued, and he seemed to be using Bard to connect the quantum communication terminal to the SEA mech system to exert his powerful power-even though the SEA mechs of Bud and Cole were only in use. On the way to the "Sea-Gull", but 80 kilometers away, Li Wei began to use the computer of the mech itself to connect to the communication terminal of the "Sea-Gull".Although it sounds unbelievable, after all, Bud had already analyzed that the control system on the Seagull had been physically destroyed, but Li Wei touched the ship's underlying communication structure through the ship's broadcast radio, and then took over.

Not only the takeover, but the reactivation of the security camera on the ship allowed them to see the tragic situation inside the ship, and Li Zhi cracked the firewall all the way to directly find the personal terminal system, so the diary, which was regarded as private by Captain Benjamin, was automatically played.

Even Bud is the first time to see Li Wei launching electronic warfare, and his face became distorted after muttering: "Leader, I know that no electronic device can stop you, but does this violate the privacy of citizens? ?”

"According to the People's Federation's "Supplement to the Security Act" signed by me personally, when it involves more important cases involving the safety of people's lives, the investigation within a certain range is allowed to bypass the moral principle, but the premise is that it is not necessary, and the investigators must also be responsible for the content of the investigation. Keep it secret." Li Wei explained the decree without a trace of emotion, and at the same time, "The Seagull also violated 14 space safety prohibitions at the same time. As a criminal suspect, the contents of the ship are all suspect evidence."

Bard (back talking): "That's why I said that the law of the People's Federation is too harsh, and sooner or later the pills will be taken."

Li Wei (hehe): "The law is harsh, but only the law and it is the law that prevents humans from becoming beasts, especially you capitalists - you will always become monsters for profit (referring to the Seagull), be careful, I can keep an eye on you."

Never be polite to Bud, he's a guy who can hold him down as long as you're tougher than him.After being scolded by Li Li, Bud rubbed his head: "Leader, can you come here? I'm not afraid, I think you must not be afraid of what happened here, right?"

Of course Li Wei is not afraid, but coming here... The answer is no, but it is also possible.

"The crew of you have arrived at the berth of the Seagull, and the docking has begun. The two of you insert the quantum terminal into the mecha system and prepare for action!"

The sea mecha’s liquid hydrogen rocket afterburner takes the two mechas forward. The distance of 100 kilometers is actually very short. Although the mechas have limited fuel and cannot reach the first cosmic speed, it is not difficult to add rockets and continue to add power to get 1K per second. .The two mechs gliding in a vacuum at three times the speed of sound are like Superman in a vacuum, and the feet are flaming forward. After 80 seconds, a 20KM speed bump is left——

The attitude engine reversed the nozzle, the flames sprayed forward, and the impact brought by the rapid deceleration made Bud and the others in the mech clench their teeth, but as they got closer, the figure of the Seagull was getting closer and closer to them.That feeling is that a deeper shadow appears in the void, getting bigger and bigger in your pupils, and there is no light on the black-gray shell, drifting alone in space like a hulk.

No, it's a ghost ship.

But the hull is still intact, and the ship was actually operating normally just a few dozen hours ago.Looking into the distance from the side of the Seagull, ten kilometers away is a huge shadow like a hill... It is the exoplanet meteorite, the root of everything.

"Bud, I... feel a little cold, dizzy and nauseous."

Cole shivered, and Bud gritted his teeth: "I'm afraid you may be airsick due to overload, just get over this little thing."

That kind of influence on people's spirit seems to be strengthened - Li Zhi observed the situation of the two of them, but he himself was not at the scene so he couldn't judge what was affecting people.Is it an abnormal brain wave of the same frequency, or is it similar to infrasound waves... There are no infrasound waves in a vacuum, but no matter what, the thing that caused everything to happen is probably on this ship.

The current SEA mecha is completely taken over by Li Wei, so the two mechas landed on the upper deck of the Seagull in a skillful posture.Boom!Solid-state sound transmission caused violent shocks in the engine room. Li Zhi controlled the two mechas to turn on the electromagnets of his feet, and after several tossings, he was able to stand firmly on the ship—this is the second half of the Dragon King Whale, close to the engine. place, while the crew of Bard landed normally from the belly deck.

"Now, let's sort out the known information."

The SEA mecha strode on the boat with its legs wide open. The eight-meter-high giant made every step of more than two meters. During the distance of a hundred steps from the stern to the bow, Li Wei analyzed all the information.

"You start to be affected within a distance of [-] kilometers from the Seagull. This kind of influence has no symptoms but has great destructive power to the spirit of ordinary people. There is no means of defense. But the two of you are not controlled, and it seems to be related to my subconscious projections that have been in contact with me in the past."

Subconscious projection... That's Kane's equipment. I haven't actually understood the principle, so I can't talk about formulating a defense.

"The control system of the Seagull has been physically destroyed. I can't find the camera archives, and I can't know what happened on the ship, but from the traces, it can be seen that there have been tragic internal strife, with traces of gunshots and blunt objects. Probably related to unknown mental hypnosis. But I can't find any traces of the crew, except for Benjamin trapped in the captain's cabin... the bodies of the others are probably hidden."

Cole added: "And Captain Benjamin's body turned into a monster, just like the Im Luminos we've seen before, something desecrated their bodies, it's... asshole!"

"That's right, it doesn't seem so scary if you treat that thing as a fluorescent." Bud in the cockpit picked up the flail shotgun, took off the magazine, and took a last look at the magazine, which was full of 20 arrows. shaped bullet, reload it and activate the power supply: "Leader, are we not insulting the dead and destroying the scene of the crime?"

"Special situations are dealt with in a special way. At present, the priority is to save the survivors."

The two mechas controlled by Li Mo acted like humans, and he had a unique course of action: "Your crew members are heading towards the valuables vault, we're taking the shortest route."

"Shortcut? Do you mean..."

Before the two asked the exit, the two SEA mechs had put down the plasma welding torches on their shoulders, pointed at the top deck of the ship one left and one right and pulled the trigger——

If the color is analogous to temperature, the blue-white high-temperature plasma has reached the melting point of all metals. This kind of industrial cutter can easily process homogeneous steel with a thickness of one meter. Even the battleship's lattice armor couldn't handle it.Its white flames were concentrated at an extreme acute angle, and the laser beam shot out in a straight line and hit the deck of the Dragon King Whale. The molten metal sparks rushed wildly, and a meter-long hole was pulled out in a short while.

The two mechas came and turned the top of the ship in a circle. The precision is like a CNC machine tool. Is this the strength of quantum life? After the two mechas bent down and stretched out their hands, the multi-functional robot arm drilled a hole in the deck and got stuck——pull it up, and the alloy armor plate with a thickness of [-] centimeters and a radius of [-] meters was covered by the two mechas. The mecha was moved out!

"Leader, you are not taking the usual path."

Cole touched the helmet. Li Wei is now controlling their two mechas. After the "top-lifting" breakthrough, the mechas opened the hatch on the chest. They took it out—this action shocked Bud and Cole, knowing that if the big metal hands couldn't control it a little bit, they would end up crushing them into meatloaf!

However, Li Ting controlled it quite steadily. After putting them down, he said to the two of them: "You go down to the edge of the bridge. The space is too small and you can only rely on yourself if the mecha can't go down. The map is marked. , Find those crew members as soon as possible and bring them to the flight deck."

"how about you?"

"I'll make sure the evacuation site is safe for you."

PS: The horn wants to write more, sorry everyone.

I would like to ask, has any reader also experienced the situation of being woken up by the heartbeat while sleeping, and the heartbeat became faster and faster and could not control the situation of being out of breath?I know it's cardiac neurosis, but is there any suitable medicine or something?

Chapter 10 Demon's Seal

The ship's fusion engine was not lit, it was taken offline at the same time as the control system was physically damaged.However, the Ministry of Industry and Research has always considered safety in designing ships, so only the engine is shut down, and the backup power supply has been trying to support the minimum life support system, so even under such circumstances, the staff room still maintains oxygen delivery.

But why no lights?Why do humans always design emergency lights in dark red, is it fun?Isn't it very power-saving to get an LED?

In the gravity-free corridor, two "soldiers" wearing magnetic boots and closed combat uniforms stepped carefully on the metal floor, one behind the other covering each other on guard.The dark red light hit them, and the world in the vision of the two of them was also dark.
