People's Federation will live forever

In the command room, the colonel commander couldn’t help being startled when he saw the report of the disappearance of the ship, and the adjutant on the side took off the VR goggles and frowned: "Sir, just before the disappearance of the Justice Balance, we received a quantum communication warning from the High Council , warning us not to go to the coordinate system..."

The colonel sighed: "It's late! The distance is too far away, the signal transmission from the headquarters was delayed by about 4 minutes, but the balance of justice has entered the area!"

Damn, some captain suggested to himself to report to the Fleet General Administration, but like everyone else, the commander didn't think this would be a security incident worthy of alarming the high-level.This is all the more troubling because the situation is technically one of its own.

As for why the alert from the High Council was not passed on in time?This is not only because of the communication distance. According to the military principles of the People's Federation, the colonel also reported the matter to the General Administration before this, but the strange thing is that this order was sent directly to him by someone from the High Council, and did not go through the military. The process isn't strictly legal - time just goes by in the process.

Although the confirmation only took a few minutes, which is not inefficient, but it would be a disaster for emergencies.

The colonel was worried, but now is not the time to pursue responsibility, his future depends on the next action - "Release the broadcast, recall the cruise ship, stop the industrial and mining enterprises immediately and block the storm port!" The colonel grabbed his military cap , The guards outside the door are also fully armed and on standby, "From now on, Storm Harbor has entered a wartime state, and we are not allowed to leave until the higher-ups order!"

Looking from the distant asteroid belt, all the way back to the Eternal City above Thira over 4 million kilometers, not only the commander of the fleet, Admiral Milan, received the order from the High Council.The inner tower hall of the Eternal City of Humans—a place that is almost integrated with the main beam of the ecological dome, overlooking the entire Eternal City, and by the way, the location where you can see the starry sky through the dome barrier, is the seat of the People's Federation Council.In addition to the meeting hall and the office area, our speaker Michael also lives here with a group of people.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, Mr. Speaker, it's two o'clock in the morning in Sira, and you need to deal with urgent matters."

A courteous electronic female voice sounded, and the holographic image of Renlian AI's silver-white ring was projected. She was dressed as a secretary at the moment, wearing a pencil skirt with a ponytail, and a pair of small glasses on the bridge of her nose. full of intellect.

Speaker Michael opened his eyes and lifted his head from the dormant cabin. The robot hand put on loose pajamas for him, and the lights in the room were turned on one by one.Standing up from the biological synchronous recovery machine, Michael pinched the base of his nose: "The news from the leader himself... this is..."

The information flow appeared on his retina, very quickly and many things were blank, but Mr. Speaker was keenly aware of the seriousness of the problem.

"Exoplanet meteorites, flesh and blood mutations, mind reading, mind control? Unknown alien creations?"

The content unfolded in sequence, and at the end Mr. Speaker took a deep breath: "Contagious neurosis and unknown virus...The People's Federation has been attacked!"

There are no more doubts, and the silver-white ring on the side bowed slightly: "Mr. Speaker, the Supreme Council will start a meeting soon. I think the council will also have a meeting soon? Shall I go and call all the members?"

"No, I'm not in a hurry now, after I meet the leader." Michal raised his hand to stop him, but immediately changed his words, "Call Siegfried up, there must be someone who needs him!"

"Yes, Speaker." Yin Baihuan covered his mouth with a low smile, "I will wake him up in a low voice, hehe."

However, except for the front-line and absolute high-level people, most people don't know what happened to the People's Federation.In Thira, most of the citizens start working after dawn. A perfect morning always starts with a cup of hot milk. When the bright sun shines on the earth, our Dom brother checks his toolbox while drinking milk. ——Marcus and Dom also joined Bard's company, although they are only nominal, and Dom is now specially hired by the "Styx Defense" company as an instructor to train security personnel.

Although the three-point and one-line work is rather boring, this peaceful life makes Dom deeply satisfied.He likes to take his adopted daughter to play in the sea during holidays, and play ball and fish with Marcus and the others. By the way, that guy Marcus has really gone to farm—due to the merger of the earth, the scientists of the People's Federation are studying the vegetation between the two planets , Marcus became an old farmer in an agricultural center. Can you imagine a man like a bear serving tomato trees?

As long as there is no war...fuck the war!

Dom has reserved an electromagnetic flying car, and when he was about to go out, the communicator on his right ear rang, and the retina showed that it was actually Marcus calling.

"Dom! Keep your voice down, I'll tell you alone." Marcus looked a little anxious, "Just now, JD's astronomical telescope..."

Well, to put it simply, JD saw the assembly of the People's United fleet while playing with the astronomical telescope.This was nothing at all, but the little guy keenly discovered that the main fleet of the Pendulum Fleet of the People's Federation of War was almost dispatched, and entered a super-light flight and disappeared in the orbit of Sira!Marcus, who has been in the army for many years, can't see that this is not a normal training at all. If there is no official news, he simply asks Li Zhi——

But the latter only said one sentence: "There is something to do at the edge of the galaxy." He hung up the phone. This kind of blankness is unacceptable.

"The edge of the galaxy, isn't that the asteroid belt! Bud and Kirk are there, I sent them a message, but no one responded for an hour and a half!"

"Marcus, calm down. The asteroid belt is 4 million kilometers away from Sira. It takes 22 minutes for you to send a signal, and you may not be able to receive it. Didn't they say it before they left?"

Dom lowered his voice so as not to disturb his wife and adopted daughter.He tried his best to comfort Marcus: "There is no official news, which means that it is a secret training of the fleet. We have also had an emergency assembly of troops, haven't we? Don't worry too much."

He said this, comforting his friends as well as himself: "That's Bud and Cole! The sun exploded and they both can survive, so what are you afraid of!"

...

"Even if the sun explodes and the universe collapses and returns to the singularity, I, Bud, have to climb out of the atoms and say something to the world, Fake Squid!"

With Bud's cry, the flail shotgun in his hand burst into flames.What comes out of the gun barrel is no longer a flashy arrow-shaped bullet, but an ordinary 12-gauge buckshot, but what can be explained is that this round bullet is made of thermal energy materials from Sunshine, and the oxygen in the chamber and the ship A reaction occurs upon contact, resulting in a violent high temperature. At the same time, it drives the mixed oxygen to turn into a powdery material that is sprayed out together with the projectile. The burning temperature immediately reaches [-] degrees Celsius - don't be so hard to pronounce, this is the enhanced version of Renlian Dragon's breath bomb!

As for why he has this thing... After all, Bud always likes fancy things.But when the ball of fire hit the living corpse monster less than three meters away from him head-on, the monster wrapped in flames screamed in pain——

It was a disgusting sound of nails grinding windows, and Bud's whole body became bad under this sound.But the monster was wrapped in viscous flames, and the red muscles without any defenses were rapidly dehydrated and carbonized. The "fluffy" worms used to connect tissues were twisted and evaporated in the flames, and there was nothing that was smashed before and gathered back together. toughness.

Hu-hu-

Bud panted, and fired another flame bomb. The carbonized living corpses hit by 12 bullets exploded like smashing wood. How could those corpses that were dried up in the flames look as cruel as when they were chasing him just now?At that time, even tungsten gold arrow-shaped bullets could be revived when they were smashed into flesh. This behavior beyond common sense almost made him collapse.

In the end, "As long as you don't think of you as an individual, but imagine a bunch of meat balls driven by bugs, it's easy!"

Bud shouted, kicking the scorched corpse in front of his eyes, stepped forward and crushed its spine with magnetic boots: "Flesh and blood? What's the big deal, can you beat Irena, idiot ?”

The movement came again, and Bud raised his head, only to see two living corpses screaming in the corridor, one on the floor and the other on the ceiling, up and down, and surrounded by Bud.The movement of the living corpse was extremely fast, but Bud immediately jumped forward without any fear. In the zero-gravity vacuum, he was suspended in mid-air, holding the shotgun with both hands and aiming at the back of the living corpse on the ceiling.

Not counting the sliding shovel, the shotgun sprayed continuously, and the three heat waves covered the monster and turned it into a burning fireball!But the living corpse chasing behind had already reached Bud and stretched out its sharp claws with bony spurs, almost touching his calf.This monster showed a distorted four-legged appearance, without eyes or mouthparts, which are life-supporting organs, and it was completely unexplained to support its actions.Like Beta, if this kind of ghost thing evolved naturally, he would be willing to kill himself immediately, so Bud lowered the muzzle of the gun and squatted down, resting it on his lower abdomen so that the barrel was aimed at the living corpse.

"See you again."

The shotgun thunder exploded, and the recoil brought Bud into the gate, while the monster shrouded in flames screamed and danced wildly, just short of the last shot—"Puff!"

Before Bud could react, a beam of pulsed laser hit the waist of the living corpse. The small explosion caused by the vaporization of the strong laser shattered it, and it could no longer move.

On the other side of the passage, Cole trotted over with a hard electron laser rifle, stepped on the broken corpse and pulled up the fallen Bud.The two gods of war didn't say much to each other. They were both terrified just now, but once they reacted.

"It's a bit scarier than beta, but the threat is just at the level of a fighter. What, is that all?"

"Something seems to be parasitic on these corpses, and then they were assimilated and transformed. It's really a miraculous biochemical reaction. How did they reorganize their cell structure in such a fast time? This doesn't conform to biology!"

"It's not important. What's important is that we have found a way to deal with this monster. The essence of the living corpse is not beyond the scope of the organism, but they can be rearranged and it is difficult to kill each other, so..."

Bud took out another heat bomb magazine and threw it to Cole: "I didn't expect the flare I made to be so useful, but it's not too much, so save it."

Flame, directed energy, anything that can incinerate living things into ashes has an excellent effect on living corpses, so the crew of the Seagull is only 20 people, and the transformed living corpses themselves and others have killed almost half of them. The next thing to do is to quickly find those idiots and take them away...

"Boom!"

There was a crisp sound behind the two, and the two who turned their heads were facing a panicked face and the rapid sound of the other's frightened slap on the transparent curtain wall.

"Lock?"

The youngest child on the boat was covered in blood and trembling, crying and begging the two to save him.

"Ba...Captain...save...Kidd him...my fault!"

The slaps, the yells, the cries for help came through the intermittent radio, separated by a thin curtain wall of bulletproof glass, separating the crew from their captain simply because it was the ship's observation deck. The two were very anxious.

"Hold on, I'll save you!"

Cole slammed the butt of his gun against the wall, but the wall didn't budge.And to open the door, you have to make a detour... Damn, what idiot designed the road!Why is the protagonist always blocked by a small obstacle at a critical moment?

"Where is the cutter, use that, hurry up!"

Bud was always prepared. The one-handed cutter used for demolition rotated at high speed and hit the curtain wall and made a sharp sound. The busy two raised their heads, and the headlights of their armor passed through the curtain wall and shone into the scene inside. Just a glance at Bud and Cole, two veterans, were stunned.

On the carpet of the viewing platform in the curtain wall, three of their crew members were lying vertically. Their necks were cut open, and their blood was trickling down, and they had long lost their breath.And looking at Locke in front of him, he is holding a sharp short knife in his hand, which is the work of the printer on his ship.

"Locke... what have you done?"

The corner of Bud's mouth twitched, and the cutting movement couldn't help slowing down. On the other side of the curtain wall, Locke's voice came out clearly because a gap was sawed.

"Captain, I didn't think so, I didn't mean it (crying)... It was it, it told me to do it!"

Locke scratched his head and screamed: "It's coming, it's coming!"

It was as if an invisible pulse erupted from somewhere and swept across the Seagull. Bud and Colton were hit by this pulse and had splitting headaches. It seemed that something was going to open their brains and mess up their brains. This feeling is more than ten times stronger than before on the boat!

Bud tried to stand up with blurred eyes, but he was still lying on the curtain wall, but he saw a strange scene.

A bat shape?The ghost thing with a big belly bounced and fell from the ceiling on the viewing platform. The pointed mouth of this thing was like a syringe. When it fell on the dead body of the crew, it stuck down, and the round belly was flattened. One point seems to have sent some tissue from the body into the dead crew members.

Then, the corpse writhed unnaturally and jumped up, the bones pierced the skin and grew out, and worm-like silk threads emerged from the trickling blood, entangled with the tissue fibers of muscles and organs, and finally turned into something that the human body does not have. ingredients!

Then it stood up and moved, and two thick bones emerged from the back of its body with a sharp scream, piercing Little Locke's head in front of Bud!

Brain tissue exploded in front of Bard's eyes, smearing the walls and blinding them.The tough guy was dumb for a moment, and two tears poured out of his tear duct unconsciously.

"I...promise them to make a fortune together and go home together."

Inside the empty Seagull, an angry male roar resounded through the corridors and echoed for a long time.

Things can't be done.

Li Wei—the cameras on the two SEA mechas under his control looked at the Thundercloud-class ship that was almost out of control rushing towards the Seagull, and felt like letting out a long sigh in his heart.

Before the impact came, Li Wei glanced at the big hole he had dug with great difficulty. This hole directly leads to the "valuables storage room". In front of the invincible plasma cutting machine, even the vault only needs a little time.

But there is not enough time right now... There is still a one-meter opening to allow the mech to go down, it is too late, Li can only look in through the small hole in front of him, and that is most likely the instigator, a piece of stone Look at each other.

The whole body is bright red, and the two red stones that join in a spiral shape are covered with fine grooves. It does not reflect light, but it also has its own attraction in the dark, allowing people to see it at a glance, be attracted by it, and then approach it. it.

That is, such a stone?From the stars, a gift to the People's Federation?

PS: Do a survey, readers who are interested in dead space?

For readers who are not interested, what the horn wants to say is-this is not the main line of this volume, it is still a part of farming.I know that the reading experience is not good due to the slow update, but please rest assured.

In the MUV chapter, because readers who haven’t read the original work have a bad experience, the horn doesn’t use the God’s perspective anymore, I have noticed.You don't really think you're going to write a volume, do you?

Chapter 13 Eternal Guard, Secret War

Even the Eternal City is not the highest place of the People's Federation.

Height is not always measured by distance. In a place that cannot be looked up by the eyes of countless people, there is a sacred and secret palace that mortals can never set foot in.

That is where the Supreme Council is located, the apex of the People's Association society.

When the bell in front of the gate of the temple was rung, and the messenger above the dome blew the horn of war, Speaker Michael bowed his head humbly—the lingering sound lingered in his ears because of a great will, the silver The gate was opened, the road ahead opened and stretched straight, and a voice told Michal to move forward quickly.

The obsidian floor is as clean as a mirror, and the light comes from the shimmering walls themselves rather than the lamps. The light has no dead ends, so there are no shadows in this hall.Mr. Speaker quickly walked through the corridor, step by step, each step was [-] centimeters, a total of [-] steps, and as the corridor reached the end, it became wider and wider. Soon, Mr. Speaker appeared in front of a The magnificent hall is completely built of obsidian. Lines of surging energy and light form patterns on the wall of the hall, with red, blue, and green on each side.

In the silent hall, the eternal silent warriors guarding this place stand like statues—their bodies are all made of stainless steel, and their loyalty and duty are soldered to the physically disconnected circuit board. But it is also said that these fighters are the carriers injected with the residual consciousness of the fallen heroes of the People's Federation.They voluntarily signed their names, and the scientists of the People's Federation scanned the brains of these dead soldiers, extracted their combat experience and integrated them, and created an indestructible body to carry this combat power.Outside, these eternal guards can easily defeat an enemy a hundred times their own, but here they are just the guards of the leader, and such guards are rare.

The guards moved their spears to make way for him, and Chancellor Michael stepped forward to take his place.He stared ahead, but saw a bottomless pit. He was actually standing on the edge of an abyss, protected by a fence—the fence also wrote a warning:

"You have reached the end of your power, take a step forward and be smashed to pieces."

Mishaer is in a straight posture. On the same plane as him, Ensig and Olivia are standing on the other two positions on the cliff. The three people with the highest power in the People's Federation gather here, just a short...

A ray of light descended from the sky, fell into the endless abyss and illuminated everything!When the glare became softer, a holographic image projected eye symbol was suspended above the pit, which is now forgotten, but the insight eye of the Brotherhood era, the symbol of the leader himself!With his arrival, the session of the Supreme Council really begins.

The meeting of the Supreme Council has begun, and everything else in the People's Federation can really have meaning...

Cough!

Well, there are countless and varied urban legends circulating in the People's Federation. These aren't the most evil rumors, but they are top-notch in terms of attracting attention.Due to the existence of the leaders of the People's Federation, our society calls for rationality but is also full of imagination. Especially the speculation about the leaders of the People's Federation itself has too many limitations of ordinary people, which often makes people dumbfounded. "The seat of the parliament" is the most famous one, so it is particularly representative.It almost gathers the imagination of kingship, mystery and high technology, and every detail can find its prototype in the culture.

The representativeness is so high that artistic creations emerge in endlessly on the Internet, so high that Li Wei couldn't help complaining at the council: "Let's not talk about whether the People's Federation has the technology of selective memory retrieval. The military wants highly advanced robot soldiers more than anyone else. But I didn’t get the fact that I hid it to guard the door, so I just said one thing—where did I find the bottomless pothole? Oh, the deep well drilled by geology fits well?”

"But why should Parliament meet in a mine? Isn't that strange?"

Unexpectedly, when Li Zhi's words came out, a group of guys actually went to find the mines of the old era. These good-for-nothing people actually built the "palace" according to the legend, which can be regarded as an anecdote in the People's Association.I heard that a crew intends to rent their venue to shoot a movie. I heard that the public is still looking forward to it.

The above is the meeting of the Supreme Council imagined by the public. The grand atmosphere is very special and has a sense of ceremony!

The following is the meeting of the Supreme Council in reality. Speaker Mishale snapped his fingers, and all the floor-to-ceiling windows of the residence lowered their shutters and turned off all the lights.The special quantum communicator was lifted from the floor, and the holographic image beam was projected to change the scenery in the room suddenly.

There are four seats at a table, and the four bosses make video calls. This is the meeting of the Supreme Council.Li Wei was in the upper seat, Michal, Ensig and Olivia were in the other seats, and at first Olivia was most anxious to leave.

"Who is our enemy?"

Michal and the others were concentrating, but Mr. Speaker sighed slightly in his heart, and a trace of disturbed emotion was suppressed in his heart.

The current situation is [-]% similar to when Beta appeared, the only difference is that it is a little farther away—unexpected accidents, army build-up, last time the moon base was in crisis, could it be that the asteroid belt storm port is hanging by a thread this time?What did our People's Federation do wrong? We never took the initiative to find trouble. Why can't we give us a chance to recuperate after only one year!Why do disasters continue?

Maybe Siegfried is right, there is no possibility of a peaceful rise of the People's Federation, we can only face the challenge and step on the corpse, either the enemy's or our own... No, it must be the enemy's !

Thinking of this, Mishal also said: "Since the military restructuring, half of Sira's army is on Earth, and its defense is limited. If necessary, we can immediately organize evacuation and send all Sira's civilians to Earth."

Mr. Speaker was very confident when he said this, but evacuating a million people is a piece of cake for the People’s Federation. , the two high councilors are eager to know——

Li Wei who appeared in front of them was just a projection of distracted consciousness, he said without saying a word: "Everyone, come to the scene and have a look!"

Li Zhi's will took over the holographic projection, new data was uploaded to the device, the light and shadow began to change, the surrounding scene became deeper, and when they came back to their senses again, they were surprised to find that they were already standing in a vacuum.

"This is not a war, at least, it cannot be a conventional war."

Location - Asteroid Belt

Time——The moment when the Balance of Justice lost control and crashed into the Seagull

Everything happened so quickly that even Li Li couldn't stop it. The sudden change happened at the moment when the invisible pulse burst out.Li Wei, who controls the mecha, can only feel the electromagnetic interference in the area become extremely strong. This abnormal frequency causes the brains of organisms in any range to suffer unimaginable pain. Not only the pain, but also a large amount of text and picture information in the Instilled into people's minds, there are a thousand mouths clamoring in the ears, and the nerves are stretched to the limit at this moment. People with strong will are exhausted, while those who are not strong-minded will be burnt out and become crazy in an instant.

On the ship of Justice Balance, several earth-born students bled from their mouths and noses and their eyes turned white. The instructor next to them endured a headache and supported them to call the medical unit, but before they could react, a bullet hit them. In his chest, the one who shot was actually the student he supported.

But until after the shooting, the student showed the same expression as Locke. He seemed to wake up from a nightmare. In the hallucination, he seemed to recognize the surrounding environment as the battlefield in memory and the instructor as the enemy. ——The invisible and powerful hypnosis made him suddenly wake up after all this happened, and he was at a loss for the blood on his hands.

At this time, the comrade next to him screamed: "beta!"

With a gunshot, he clutched his abdomen, blood gushed out like a fountain, but the pistol gunfire kept going, bullets hit his chest one after another, the powerful kinetic energy smashed bones and severed muscles, and the pain made him wail.

Everyone has primitive instincts of fear, and there are no fearless warriors.Hypnosis always starts with the explosive increase of corticosteroids and the full activation of the amygdala, and then the most intense pain for everyone in the memory area, maybe suffering or shame, will flood out, and the brain will react violently It's as unreasonable as self-mutilation for self-protection-it strongly rejects the information instilled from the outside, but the more intense the resistance, the crazier the person will be.

"VI...activate the quarantine and lock up each...!"
