Chapter 1,216 Mentor... Holy Shit, Is This a Mentor? !

(I asked for votes and subscription recommendations at the beginning of the month. Look, I haven’t forgotten this month~~)

The core area of ​​the shelter is actually located in the center of the ring city, but it is not above ground, but underground - the outer ring of this ring ecosystem looks like a wide donut, where the city residents live, and the inside is like Like the spokes of a bicycle, it is supported and connected by countless huge metal beams, and leads to a circular metal platform with a diameter of about one kilometer in the center. This metal platform is actually the top of a fully enclosed armor shield. The core The area is just below this platform. When the transport plane we were on flew over the platform, a huge hexagonal crack opened on its surface. Only then did I know where the so-called core area was.

It is said that the civilization in this shelter seems to be particularly fond of two geometric shapes: hexagons and cylinders. Many buildings and facilities we saw along the way have this appearance, which is probably one of their characteristics.

There is a landing platform inside the shelter. After landing on the platform, a group of us followed Anulili out of the transport plane and walked deep into the core area along a passage that looked like an alloy corridor in a starship. Along the way, we met more than once members of the resistance organization wearing uniforms and weapons. These members are very different from the big boy we met before who looked immature and stable. If we have to say, they are probably the Ace Army and the Provisional Army. There is a difference in feeling among the mobilized soldiers.

The resistance fighters they met along the way seemed to be familiar with Anulili, and many stopped to say hello to the latter. Anulili all smiled in response. Based on this phenomenon, I judge that Anulili should also have a certain status in the resistance organization. She is a foreign member and may not be a senior cadre in the organization, but she must have a special status and popularity. From the words of the young patrolman, I judged a very important piece of information: Anulili voluntarily underwent reverse transformation so that the organization could develop an antidote to the nerve agent, making herself a victim of the agent again. . In addition to taking care of her younger brother, her purpose on the ground is probably to collect her body data after she was poisoned. Such a dedicated female warrior (I think now I can give Anulili such name). In such a resistance organization, one must be respected.

"The compatriots here have rich mission experience. Most of the patrols who usually come to the surface from the core base to perform tasks are sent from the core area. This is where the elite power of the organization is most concentrated," Anuli Li introduced us as she walked, "You will see the mentor soon, but...how do I put it? You may be surprised, but please believe it, that is the leader of the resistance organization, he is the one who saved We, humanity’s last spark of fire, have many inside stories that the mentor has never revealed to anyone. But everyone here trusts him unconditionally, and I hope you can also place such trust in him.”

Anulili specially gave us such vaccinations, which immediately aroused my curiosity. The image of the instructor instantly changed from a majestic and cold old man to a three-headed and six-armed old man. ——After being together with Qianqian for a long time, I have some symptoms of infection. At this time, I can’t imagine what Qianqian thinks of others. I guess you can't run away with seven points on your chest...

"Speaking of which, why don't you bring your brother to the base?" Lilina has no interest in things like the leader of the resistance. She just suddenly remembered another thing, "It seems that no matter how bad the conditions here are in the base, it is much safer than on the surface, right? Wouldn't it be great to take Anuzha over? Why are you not allowed to bring your family members when you join the army?"

Shandora sighed silently and quietly erased the second half of Lilina's words from Anulili's consciousness.

"That's impossible," Anulili shook her head. "Anuza only has ordinary immunity to nerve agents. He can't be counted and can't accept the reshaping of knowledge. He is destined to be an ignorant person even if his mind is liberated. Primitive man... Such a person has no value in the base, so I can't bring him in. The supplies in the base are quite tight. Everyone can only receive food according to rations, and everyone must be frugal with the rations for newborns. come out, and the project to expand the shelter has not been completed yet, so there is absolutely no place for idlers. We know information about many ordinary immune people in the surface world, but we can’t help them, or even let them know that there is a free organization. This It’s all about preventing tissue exposure.”

"So when you first knew that we were immune, you only mentioned the existence of nerve agents, but did not mention the existence of this organization at all." Miss Lin glanced at Anulili, "Because ordinary immune people have not joined the organization yet. Qualifications, instead of adding a mouth that only knows how to eat, why not let them fend for themselves?"

"Unfortunately, that's it," Anulili nodded decisively, "Actually, Anuzha is lucky. He has a sister who is an insider. Although I can't talk to him about organizational matters, at least I know how to protect him. A natural immune person. After becoming a member of the organization, I chose to stay on the ground, partly for the mission, and also because I wanted to protect Anuzha. Even if he has no talent, he is still my brother. Although he is ignorant, if It’s probably good to be able to live a peaceful life like this…”

"I also have a sister," I couldn't help but said it casually. "Although she is not related by blood, I believe she is the best sister in the world. You have her shadow... maybe every good sister is How about this."

Anulili looked at me in surprise: "You still have a sister in your hometown? Didn't she escape with you?"

Me: "..." Hey, let me go and forget about this...

Seeing my look for help, Sandora sighed again. As a mobile humanoid brainwashing machine, she was almost driven crazy by our group of guys who were constantly in trouble. While diverting Anulili's attention, she was Complaining to us in the spiritual connection: "Can't you say a few less words? Can't you say a few less words? We are carrying out a covert operation now, not just touring the mountains and rivers. This kind of operation cannot mention anything beyond the goal. If you have cognitive information, otherwise it will easily lead to obstacles in your actions..."

A group of people were scolded by Her Majesty the Queen and became dejected and silent.

In this short silence, we finally arrived at our destination: a room that looked no different from an ordinary cabin. This is where the leader works.

"I have already reported what happened to you. I won't accompany you later. The instructor wants to talk to you alone. This is his habit when meeting special guests." Anulili spoke in front of the "instructor" door. Her voice was habitually lowered, showing her respect for the leader inside, "In addition, I have to go back to the surface first. It has been more than four hours now. Anuzha should have thought that I went out to collect herbs. It used to be the case. That’s how I explained it to him, but I still can’t leave for too long. Well, finally, I’d like to remind you, don’t be scared by the instructor.”

Well, if she hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten about leaving without saying goodbye...

Anulili opened the door for us, said hello to the people inside, and then started the space teleportation back to the surface. A group of us walked into this alloy cabin with curiosity and found that there were not many furnishings inside. On the four walls are holographic images displaying a lot of complex data: This should be the operating status of the shelter, because I saw an exterior view of the magma surging, and in the middle of the room was a large, long, hexagonal, silver-gray table. Office equipment is placed. In the large wide-backed chair behind the table, sat the leader of the resistance organization.

An old man whose youth has long gone. He has silver hair, but it is combed meticulously. There are many wrinkles on his face, but he still has the resolute and resolute lines of his youth. His body is sunk in the chair. Looks a little rickety, but still three points strong. His complexion is slightly dark, without the unhealthy paleness that comes from living indoors all year round. He looks like an old general. Even now in his twilight years, he still has the sharpness of a soldier.

His eyes are very special, with deep-set eye sockets. The "whites" outside the pupils are not white, but have a dark blue fluorescent texture.

He is a Merova, a pure-blood Merova, a soldier.

The amount of information that came to me in an instant was so huge that I didn’t know how to react for a moment. The eyes of the old man in front of me revealed everything. This is a racial characteristic that only Merova people have. He looked at it from beginning to end. They don't even look like the natives of this planet. Yes, the top leader of this secret organization that resists the "gods" of Merova is a real Merova! And he still has a military temperament all over him!

Compared with my momentary dumbfounded reaction, there was another person at the scene who reacted violently: Pandora. She walked quickly towards the old Merova soldier without saying a word. Her body was filled with a strong murderous aura that I had only seen her release on the battlefield. Sandora reacted instantly and sealed the entire place with a protective shield. In the room, almost at the same time, Pandora had arrived in front of the big table, instantly removed her illusion disguise, then jumped up and punched the table, letting out a low roar: "Turazzo!!!"

Pandora, who was not good at talking, finally squeezed out only the other party's name under such a violent emotional impact, but three words were enough to overflow with murderous intent.

The table made of alloy suffered a blow far greater than the impact of a cannonball, and was directly turned into scattered pieces with a violent tearing sound. The old man behind the table looked as stiff as a stone the moment Pandora took off his disguise. As for not reacting at all, when the tabletop collapsed, he was blown several meters away by the shock wave and hit the wall before slowly sliding down. There was already a bright red in front of him, and the broken metal fragments pierced into his body. , but the Merova man has obviously also undergone enhanced transformation. After being hit by the shock wave like a kinetic energy bomb that exploded almost close to his face, he did not die. He could even look at Pandora and say clearly: "... General !!”

"Pandora, calm down first," I finally came to my senses. He stepped forward and forcibly grabbed Pandora, who was almost out of breath, and carried her back. It was very obvious that the identity of the Merova man in front of him was more than just weird - Pandora even knew him! This shows that he was a senior figure in the servant army back then! From this, we can feel how Pandora is feeling now. The soldiers he once led (although they were cannon fodder) betrayed the empire and then turned around and demolished his hometown. He also killed God knows how many people who were still in dormant facilities. Imperial soldier, now this familiar face of the other party appeared in front of him so uprightly. Even with Pandora's daily calmness and silence, she can't suppress that instant impulse now - Xiling Apostle is not without emotions. "I think there may be something fishy about this matter, don't be too busy doing it - Lilina, go up and treat it, Qianqian, repair this place."

Qianqian snapped his fingers, and under the influence of the partial time retrieval effect, everything in the room instantly returned to its original state. As for the various logical paradoxes produced in this process, we will not talk about it. This has always been a problem for me. It's quite a mystery. Qian Qian couldn't even explain it herself. Lilina stepped forward and pulled up the former imperial servant general whom Pandora called "Turazzo", and solemnly said: "Because I am in a hurry, I will omit the above and the following. Get well, you lost lamb..."

The old man named Turazzo was cured of his injuries, but he still remained in the dazed state after suffering a huge psychological shock. He was almost pressed to the chair by Lilina like a marionette. But to be honest, I actually feel that the psychological impact I received was quite large. I have been thinking about it for a long time, why is the top leader of the resistance organization... actually a Merova?

Anulili repeatedly told us to stay calm when she left. Now I know why: the leader of the resistance organization is the old man in front of me who did not run away. Anulili herself also knows that a Merova man is leading the resistance. Organization is such a wonderful thing, so she was afraid of scaring us, but wanted to leave everyone a surprise...

Although the surprise is gone. And the one who was really seriously frightened was the "mentor" opposite.

"Have you breathed enough?" I gave the old man across from me a few minutes to catch his breath and calm down a little. After seeing his eyes finally regaining clarity, I stepped forward and knocked on the table: This action made the other person nervous for a while, but the soldier's Literacy still plays some role. He didn't lose his temper too much - of course it's possible that he still didn't react. "When you've had enough breath, answer a few of our questions."

"Is this reality or an illusion..." The old Merova soldier looked around, "Did Barian finally discover this place and use this method to see my good show?"

Pandora had calmed down and said calmly: "Barian, you have also rebelled."

"Don't worry about whether it's a dream or not." I felt that the old man in front of me must be hiding a huge secret. "Everything you saw is real - we are back, and by the way, we have surrounded you with an army. , the two emperors marched in person, and your face was unprecedented."

Turazo's eyes looked at him blankly. Firstly, my speaking habits may be different from those of other Xiling apostles. Secondly...he definitely doesn't know me. After all, the Melova people don't have the simple identity of the Xiling apostles. Identification system, so he was probably confused about the identity of the person in front of him who didn't look like the Apostle of Xiling.

"I'm back... I'm back..." Turazzo was confused for a few seconds, and suddenly murmured to himself with a strange smile, "I'm finally back... Ha... this day has finally come, sooner or later you guys You will come back, I should have thought of it... You have never been truly destroyed... OK, OK, you are back... Then this place is over... The extermination order... should have been issued, right? You decide When will the execution be carried out?”

I found that this old man really knew the rules of the empire. The moment he saw Pandora, he immediately thought of the Extermination Order. Maybe he knew the old empire better than I did, so there was nothing to hide from him, so I nodded: "That's a good guess. You know how the empire dealt with traitors. But... to be honest, I It's a bit confusing now. It stands to reason that we should bomb the fleet immediately after finding your whereabouts, but with the prompts of the prophet, we found this planet. What happened here is confusing-where are you making trouble? "

As I said that, I couldn't help but raise my eyes and glance at Miss Lin. Many things were finally connected. Before leaving, Lin Xue asked us not to rush into a general attack, saying that there is a great truth hidden in this world. Maybe she can't see everything accurately, but she must have a premonition that "this should be done". Now it seems that the prophet's hint is correct, and one of the key points lies in the old man in front of him. His appearance may affect our initial speculation about the Merova people.

"Prophet..." Turazzo saw Lin Xue, and of course Qian Qian who was picking at the wall, his eyes widened, "General Fanna... General Reki!! Didn't you already... I watched you with my own eyes …”

"By the way, let me show you one more person." I suddenly felt like playing a prank and took out my data terminal to connect with the capital world. "Sister, come out and meet someone."

A holographic projection appeared above the data terminal. The image of Sister wearing an apron appeared in the projection, holding a shovel in one hand and a vegetable plate in the other. She turned her head to look in the direction of the camera while working: "Ajun? I'm cooking... The fox is clamoring for meat. Is everything going well over there? Has the infiltration been successful?"

Turazzo, who could barely sit still on the chair, opened his eyes wide and slid neatly under the table: "Your Majesty!!"

Lilina once again pulled the old man to the chair, while her sister looked at the latter curiously: "Who is this old man... huh? A Merova man? Why does it feel... a bit familiar..."

Due to the secondary segmentation and reincarnation injury, her sister did not really recover her memories of the past, so she just instinctively felt familiar with Turazzo, but she could not remember who the other person was.

The servant general who was treasonous in the past and now behaves strangely is pale and his eyes almost bulge out of his sockets. He can't help but look at his sister. He tries hard to divert his gaze but is unable to move due to fear, as if he is looking at a savage beast. Generally speaking, my sister couldn't help but frowned: "Am I scary?"

Turazzo nodded subconsciously as if sleepwalking, and his sister's face turned dark instantly...

I was amused next to me: It seems that as long as I put my sister’s photo here, Turazzo will cooperate decisively...
