Matthew Bunker lay on his seat, staring blankly at the constantly changing scene on the screen in front of him.The thing on the screen looks like a battlefield photography, none of the content in it appears in people's common sense, but it is so real, so that person... finds it difficult to judge.
This is the admiral's own captain's room, and there is no one else around, and only at such times will Matthew click on the data packet "passed" by the People's Federation. What is transmitted in the process.The furious self once ordered to prohibit receiving it, but many things were more complicated than imagined, and this data was finally in the hands of the admiral, along with the advice from that hypocritical enemy.
"General Matthew, if you still have the pride of being a human being, then you must be aware of the real threat in front of us - in front of it, your hostility with our People's Federation is insignificant."
Soldiers never tire of cheating, this is a lie laid by the enemy to disturb the morale of the army!For a long time, Matthew told his subordinates this way, and he also told himself this way.In today's era, video data can't tell the truth at all. As a senior military officer, Matthew's understanding of intelligence work allows him to know how easy it is to forge the truth. Propaganda is grossly unwise.
But in other words, it's also Matthew's own demons... people believe that the admiral is unquestionably great, but great people are also human beings, and human beings are not that complicated.It may be a wise vision to stick to one's own opinion in a difficult situation, but it may also be just stubbornness!People are only willing to believe what they want to believe, because if not, how can you let Matthew strengthen his will to continue this war against the People's Federation?Once you accept that the enemy is right, how do you fight them!
Surely someone will have a different point of view, but there's no point in arguing.In fact, Matthew has completely ignored the information sent by the People's Federation for a long time, which does not mean that he is a fool, and now he picks up the information again, perhaps because he has no way to continue to live in his dream up.
Woke up from the dream and was woken up.It is not easy to break away from the Tiancang galaxy, and it takes a long time to jump back to the naval station.When they came, there were thousands of sails to race, but when they returned, none of them survived. Matthew couldn't remember how he survived until now, and he couldn't even know how he said it when he spoke to the whole army after the battle. "Our battle will not stop. The People's Federation is not invincible. We have verified this many times. Now they have suffered heavy losses, so we must hurry up and seize the opportunity."
They are still willing to follow themselves... This alone is enough to make the admiral's heart ache and his confidence shaken.
It is precisely because of the wavering that he picks up some things that he has neglected for a long time.On the screen, the scene of the Human Federation Fleet bombing Mars was appearing, and soon, the Human Federation Fleet appeared in the orbit of the earth, but saw the current moon covered with a layer of sickly scarlet.
There is no doubt that they are indeed completely exterminating the planet, the cities and people on it, but if it is combined with the simultaneous observation on the ground, it is difficult for Matthew to convince those things to be true.
"Returning to one sect...necromorph? The dead came back to life, how is this possible, even if it is alien technology, it shouldn't be..."
It's still so unbelievable, but the People's Association not only conveys the images to itself, but also provides comprehensive information.Regarding the three stages of mutation, that is, the large-scale necromorph infection, then the huge number reaching the critical point, the aggregation of these corpses and the thing called the seal of God, and the last step, which is also the last step that the People's Federation has seriously warned against happening step--
"With the god seal as the center, activate the alien weapon formed by the gravity field, the blood moon that devours everything? A... battleship the size of a planet?"
Matthew looked at the information on the document with a frown, and his military eyes instinctively regarded the blood moon as a battleship.I really can't believe that the People's Federation spread this information everywhere, as long as it leaves the space of the Republican Army, it will be everywhere.It is said that it is to arouse people's vigilance and mobilize the people so that the cult has nowhere to hide, but it is also like a means of diverting conflicts... Mixing truth and falsehood will make people unable to distinguish from reason, and in the end it is not from the head but from the Starting from the ischium—but Matthew has more information, and the information of the God Seal is very familiar to him.
"Isn't this the 'new energy' device manufactured by the UEG government in various colonies?"
He has heard that, although it has nothing to do with him, there are many such facilities on Hyperion.Since the Republican Army borrowed the power of the Unification Sect, the demand for "energy" has increased exponentially.This is not the part he needs to care about. In fact, he is an outsider in the Republican Army, and he can't interfere with the decision-making at all... and he won't know the inside story.
But these couldn't be worse, "Monster oracle created by fusing humans with indestructible necromorphs? Damn it!"
Why didn't I think of it, why did Langton suddenly give himself a large number of pilots who could withstand incredible overload?I thought it was a breakthrough in new technology. Could it be that there have been monsters serving in my army for a long time?The oracle's appearance is the same as that of ordinary people, and unless a perspective scan is performed, it can be found that these non-humans do not have normal human organs-this information makes Matthew feel a chill in his heart.
"The oracle will lose control after receiving a strong signal from the seal of the gods, and completely turn into a necromorph..."
Suddenly, the admiral raised his hand and closed the terminal.He got up from his seat, and at this moment his adjutant walked in through the cabin door, and stood upright to salute himself:
"Commander, the shuttle is ready!"
Admiral Matthew nodded, and then packed his luggage.During this process, the adjutant pulled up the suitcase containing the documents from the room, and informed the general: "After the last attack, Head of State Langdon has been staying in the mansion of Hyperion Capital. Overseeing construction on Hyperion."
project? "Didn't I hear that he was not injured?"
"The publicity is like this, but the assassins of the People's Federation did seriously injure the head of state. Now the security force of the official residence is more than ten times that of the past. But this time the meeting is not held at the official residence, but at Liberty Peak...Is there any problem? , sir?"
The adjutant asked curiously, but Matthew looked at the adjutant for a while before withdrawing his eyes: "When did you start calling him the head of state?"
The adjutant was taken aback, but Matthew suddenly smiled: "Go and inform the fleet staff and ask him to wait for me on the bridge."
Although he didn't understand what the general was going to do, the adjutant went to carry it out.After the latter left the room, Matthew's face turned cold. He quickly changed out of his navy uniform, and then put on a light RIG protective suit for himself.Before pulling on his navy frock coat to hide it, the admiral did not forget to attach a pistol to his belt.
Report the results of the battle to the leader of the Republican Army, and explain the battle process and the huge losses... Before that, Matthew thought he had this responsibility.
Before leaving the Beluga, the admiral briefly communicated the follow-up plan to the staff, and he asked them to speed up the supply and make the ship ready to sail at any time.Then he and his adjutant boarded the shuttle and left the Moby Dick.
Hyperion, the current capital of the Republican Army, is a blue jewel in the sea of wandering stars.
It is a planet with a primitive ocean. The atmosphere here was not suitable for human survival, but after 300 years of gradual transformation and the adjustment of the artificial gravity field, it has become as prosperous as Mars.Cities are dotted all over its land, and many space cities surround and guard the planet.There are ports everywhere, and the number of ships coming and going makes the arrival of Matthew's fleet seem so insignificant.And the admiral did notice that there were a lot of ships here, which was a bit outrageous.
"It's the colonists from various fringe galaxies, and the Republican Army has withdrawn them in large numbers to Hyperion, and the number reached 12 billion in just one month."
"Why are there so many?" Matthew looked out the window. Many space cities are already overcrowded. The gravity elevators are transporting a large number of passenger cabins. Many ships are drifting on the track because they do not have a port to connect to Save Fuel - "Looks like this is abandoning the colony on the fringes!"
"Because of the Human League attack, sir," said the adjutant heavily. "Remember New Kronborg? There's a small Human League force that's been wreaking havoc on our fringe systems, attacking colonies, and Nearly a billion casualties from boats tracking refugees and destroying them."
"Damn People's Federation." Matthew said so, and then he asked, "Refugees? Are they from the Guiyi Church?"
"Yes, a large number of believers who fled from the occupied areas hoped for asylum, but because the main fleet participated in the Tiancang galaxy battle in large numbers, without the cover of mobile forces, the losses were huge, so the capital issued an evacuation order."
"Our fleet is responsible." Matthew said, he lowered his hat and covered his eyes, "but without colonies, where do we have the resources to continue fighting against the People's Federation?"
"I don't know." The adjutant said, knowing that he has behaved normally so far, "However, in the previous communication, one thing was indeed mentioned...Sir, do you still remember the Ishimura?"
The Ishimura, of course I remember, was the largest ship of the United Earth Government. It was as large as 1.6 kilometers long. It was a creation of the peak period 300 years ago, and it is a masterpiece that is difficult to replicate in engineering.He had always wanted to transform it into a battleship, but Chief Langton took possession of the ship for other purposes.
"The expedition team carried by the Ishimura has been away for two months, but the Admiral Hyperion said that they have made amazing discoveries." Speaking of this, the adjutant hesitated, but he still told the admiral cautiously, "They found Nova, moreover, there is also an alien planet...Although that alien civilization has been destroyed, there are still many amazing discoveries. The head of state believes that this is the key to defeating the Renlian."
PS: It can be discussed openly now - the more advanced the civilization, the more complex the organization, and the worse the individual's ability to survive.
In the Stone Age, barbaric humans lived in and used nature. Everyone must know how to gather, fish and hunt. They have the strongest survivability, but they are also the hardest.
In the era of agriculture, humans master farming, know how to sow seeds and crops, and farmers can support themselves. What is the difference between Dili and me?
But since the industrial age, all elements of human existence have become more detailed and complex with the division of labor.You're never feeding yourself, you're feeding society as a whole.Do you grow agriculture?You are not the one who harvests the agricultural products, you are not the one who transports them, and it is not necessarily you who process them. You exchange money for finished products that are basically processed to fill your stomach, and you can no longer support yourself.
Except for Irena, no one can achieve one-person industry. People's Federation does not have AI, so it will not be fundamentally different from UEG.But in reality, there is no Irena and no AI. Don't take the organization that humans have worked so hard to achieve for granted.
Interstellar civilization means more division of labor and cooperation, more complex and advanced, but it is not created out of nothing, and still follows the basic principles.
Civilization = organization, organization makes us strong, but once the link is missing—for example, in space, your oxygen generator fails and shuts down?As many people as there are will die, without exception.
The more advanced the civilization, the more complex the organization and the less survivable the individual is.
Chapter [283] Do your best, Isaac (today's second update)
Half a month ago——
Tav-Volantos galaxy
The dead and silent planet was covered by thousands of years of wind and snow, and the ancient tomb opened its mouth to the gray sky, screaming silently.And right on the surface of this planet, some lights are flashing rhythmically, conveying the communication signal from the landing force. On those ancient buildings that are much younger than the ancient planet, the flames in the wind and snow are burning fiercely.
"The data of the underground temple has been integrated, and the code is in hand, we are about to come out, cover us!"
On the revived ancient mine, the mechanical winch roared to pull the pallet up.Soon, gunshots were heard from the mine, and the field of vision was drawn closer. The core members of the expedition team, the former CE Group engineer, Ishimura, the survivor of the Titan space station Isaac Clark, and a group of Republican soldiers were back to back. Then poured firepower on the wall of the mine!The powerful electromagnetic machine gun fire is sweeping the "shadows" down from the rock wall. Those things, the number of strange multi-legged creatures that look like spiders seem to be endless, they are jumping, trying to climb the winch tray.Some of the monsters succeeded, their limbs hooked onto the tray and quickly slid themselves onto it - and upon closer inspection, it turned out that these monsters had a cracked fish face, and those extra legs weren't actually legs, but A part that is forcibly split from a limb.
Necromorphs, alien necromorphs!
The cracks of these things opened, and the sharp teeth formed by broken bones and tentacles bit the person in the middle of the tray, but they ushered in a thorny iron foot——
With a violent kick, Isaac kicked one of the necromorphs off.At this time, two soldiers couldn't resist, screaming and being thrown down by the monster.But these brave soldiers rolled off the tray together with the monster and fell into the abyss.
"Damn, damn it!"
Isaac roared, and a cutting beam from the ion torch in his hand chopped off the monster's head at close range. After these things lost their mobility, he sent them to hell one by one.Finally, they were about to reach the top, and there were dense gunshots from above the entrance of the cave. The powerful firepower finally suppressed the monsters crawling out of the ground, allowing Isaac to breathe a sigh of relief.
When the tray reached the top, Isaac and the surviving soldiers rushed out with a backpack-sized device. Immediately, the alloy zenith of the tunnel was smashed down, completely covering up the monsters trying to rush out.
"Whew...whoosh (gasp)...where's Colonel Yorick? Where's the Colonel?"
Isaac refused other soldiers to help him carry his backpack, and he strode into the camp with his exhausted body. As he saw, the entire excavation camp had become a mess. The original camp of 3000 people seemed to be in chaos. Like a fire, there are traces of fighting everywhere.Armored vehicles equipped with flamethrowers are burning some of the piled up corpses, and the army is under full martial law.
This place was originally a facility left by the former government army 200 years ago, but it is now being used by the Republican Army, and some expansions have also been carried out.Undoubtedly, the Republican Army brought much more power than its predecessors, and was more fully prepared, but it still became such a mess, it was hard to imagine what happened here in the past.Snowflakes were flying, and under the light of searchlights, Isaac was escorted by a platoon of soldiers to the headquarters of the camp.
As soon as he entered the door, Isaac roared: "You should listen to me, don't send any corpse samples, those are not corpse samples, they are necromorphs! Did you thaw them and wake them up!"
"I didn't give such an order, but I'm sure there are saboteurs in our team." A tired man appeared in front of Isaac, his beret was slanted on his head, his eyes were full of Covered with blood, "I suspect that it is a spy linked by someone who wants to sabotage our operation."
"The People's Federation? With all due respect, Colonel, you'd better not let the Oneness guys into the camp and burn all those frozen bodies - 200 years ago they didn't succeed, now they're just a scourge!"
"A few more soldiers were sent to the medical room today. The situation is getting worse. All the people involved in the excavation have visual and auditory hallucinations. I have to stop working...Why are you here? By the way, below How is it going?"
"That's what I'm going to say! Listen, Yorick, I can only come to you now, you are not one of them, so I need you... This place is not the origin of the seal of God at all, this The ghost place is the same as Titan City, it was an infected place tens of thousands of years ago!"
What Leader Langdon wants to find is to use the power of ancient technology to change the world, but this is not the place to realize his dream.The world may not be able to change, but everything here can destroy the world!
"I need you to arrange a shuttle for me, and a team of reliable soldiers with me, I have to go to 'Rosetta', there are some things I have to verify... Yorick?"
The colonel of the Republican Army suddenly covered his head and knelt on the ground in pain. When Isaac hurried up to help him up, the man screamed:
"Turn it off!"
Just then, there was some confusion elsewhere in the camp, with gunshots mingling with some other shouting.Various voices shouted the same sentence——
"Turn it off!"
"Turn it off!"
Isaac's body shook, and he realized what he had strode forward, picked up the key from the table next to the colonel to operate the terminal to approve the authorization, said "sorry" softly, picked up the rifle and brought the code Backpack rushed out...
On this day, a large-scale "riot" broke out in the excavation camp, and the soldiers killed each other. When the first reinforcements arrived, the unprepared support troops were slaughtered by the army of necromorphs.After realizing the escalation of the situation, the Republican Army dispatched air power and bombarded the camp with naval guns, but it caused a large-scale ice collapse.
On this day, the Republican army discovered that there was an extremely large-scale building complex under the frozen planet, and there were many high-energy reactions in it.The follow-up troops ventured to capture a large number of god seals from the ice sea, but for some reason, the energy released by these god seals was much smaller than expected, and they seemed to have fallen into dormancy.
Soon after, Mr. Isaac Clarke, the special envoy of Chief Langton, entered the experiment center 200 years ago, where scientists found the "complete alien slice" sample hidden by former government military scientists, and obtained from many The research materials left by the former chief scientist of the government army, Dr. Serrano, were found in the ruins.
At this time, infections broke out on several Republican ships, but the command of the Ishimura, the main force of the expedition, refused to stop the investigation activities.
a week ago--
Isaac didn't know when they broke in, and when he found out, he was already surrounded by a group of oracles.Their muzzles were pointed straight at themselves, their eyes were on the "code" behind them, and at their feet, the astonished eyes of scientists who were dying were looking at themselves.
"Bishop Daniel..."
Isaac's hand was on the pistol at his waist, but he didn't pull it out in the end, but raised his hands.He looked at the person who came, the curly-haired one, wearing a pair of wine-red sunglasses, the fat man who escaped from the Earth before it was occupied by the Federation of People, slowly stepped over the scientist's body, and sighed.
"Some people are favored by the truth, but why do they always run counter to the truth?"
"Because I know better than anyone that yours is not the truth at all, but a bullshit lie!" Isaac, who was held down by the oracle, choked Daniel and scolded, "Do you know what you are doing? ? That terrible thing in the sky is gradually thawing, we must find a way to strengthen its seal, otherwise everything will be over!"
"The thing in the sky is the true God, and how can the true God be bound? As loyal servants, we have only now realized what unity is and what is perfection..."
"Bullshit! Look at this planet, all life here has been eaten up by that ghost, if you release it, everyone will die!"
"Death? Only pagans can die. True believers just join the eternal immortality...Look, what a powerful force, how can the People's Federation be able to defeat such a force?"
Daniel picked up the instrument called the Codex, he looked at it for a while, and then handed it to the oracle beside him—they took down the device respectfully, Isaac roared when he saw this, and struggled desperately, but it was useless.
"I am the special envoy of Chief Langton. He came to me to prevent any conspiracy from you. As expected, nothing has changed when you return to the One Sect. You deserve to be eradicated by the People's Federation!"
Isaac's roar seemed to Daniel no more threatening than a baby's cry. The fat man lit a cigar and said leisurely:
"You still count on Langton? That naive brat, without our help, what kind of leader can he be? After pointing fingers for a long time, he really considers himself a leader, and..."
Daniel smiled, and an oracle pulled out a rifle and pointed it at Isaac's head.
"Langton in the past may have some ability, but thanks to the Renlian, he is just a toy of the Holy See, hahahaha..."
The laughter gradually faded away, and soon there was a gunshot in the room——
But one shot was not fired, and more shots sounded!A group of Republican soldiers rushed into the room, and a fierce gun battle broke out with the Oracles. Isaac, who had lost his left half of his ear, emerged from the chaotic scene with his head covered in blood.Those who came to rescue him were Republican soldiers who had been following him these days, but they were no match for the undead Oracle, so under Isaac's order, they trapped the enemy in the research institute after paying casualties.
"Sir!"
The captain of the escort team was injured, and insisted through gritted teeth: "The expedition team is in chaos, many brothers are crazy, and there are corpse mutants everywhere... You are right, the damn Guiyi Sect has taken control of the Ishimura , the entire fleet has fallen into their hands!"
"That is to say, we have no way out?" Isaac took the opportunity to save some scientists, and these survivors rushed to the hangar before the institute also collapsed. Thankfully, there was still a shuttle that was not destroyed, although Squeezed a little.
"Let these Unitarians unlock the seal of the planet's ancient machine, and we are finished. We must stop them!"
"Impossible, sir, they have an entire army! They don't accept surrender, and are now killing survivors... Ahem, we don't have enough strength to deal with them."
Even if there is, it's too late, those guys have been letting themselves look for clues, just to take it away from themselves at this last moment.It won't be long, and it won't be long before the outbreak of the disaster!
"We have to warn the outside, we have to find a way to go back."
But how do they get out of here?Isaac was lost in thought, and one of the survivors, a scientist, remembered.
"Nova! I went to check on the Nova, and the ship's impact point and propulsion engines are still working! It's a big ship, and it's designed to last longer than any ship."
This is a feasible plan. The Nova is the flagship of the former government army and the sister ship of the Ishimura. It has enough power to return to the human territory, so people have found hope again——
"Right! No troops are on duty on the Nova, we can take it and go back to Hyperion..."
"No, you can't go back to Hyperion!"
Isaac said firmly that his appearance was terrifying, because no one here knew better than him.
"That place has been controlled by the Guiyi Sect. Wake up, we are throwing ourselves into a trap when we go back there... It is impossible for the Republican Army to stop this disaster!"
So, where should they go?
"There is another place." Isaac pressed his head, and he recalled that day, the man who injected information into his head, and everything he said at that time.
"We still have a place to go."
PS: Pay tribute to Major General Mahad and the loyal and brave overlord colonial soldiers.
