Chapter 1,225 The Eve of War

When Lilina and I left this planet named after the gods but ruled by coldness and death, thousands of butterflies had spread to the entire area within the Arctic Circle. Finding the remaining bases was easier than we expected. At least some of them were found: they are adjacent to the base we first arrived at, forming an intermittent ring within the Arctic Circle. Those butterflies with special powers Passing through the biting cold wind at supersonic speed, they have settled in every inhabited place in the infected area in just half an hour. After fifteen minutes, most of them will begin to transform into deadly virus clouds. The remaining parts will quietly split and head to other parts of the planet. If Lilina's design works as normal, the first death case will appear in about three hours.

In the process, we also saw the rigor of these bases with the highest security level - there is a reason for Turazo's several infiltration failures. Although I think that a group of "natural" butterflies that are perfectly normal from the inside out should not be of any concern, but the butterfly group was still intercepted by nearly a third when it invaded other places. Those bases obviously noticed this. creature, and used a high-temperature field to block the invasion of the butterfly swarm. If the latter had not immediately changed its route and evolved camouflage skills, Lilina's butterfly swarm might have suffered great losses. I don’t know how the Merova people suspected these butterflies: because Lilina specially scanned the surrounding environment when she created the butterfly swarm, she created this plague carrier by imitating a nearby polar butterfly. It stands to reason There would be nothing unusual about them that would be noticed, but the Merovans still initiated the interception. It can only be said that this is their extreme caution in effect: no matter what it is, no matter whether it is abnormal or not, any unregistered creature is not allowed to enter the base, even flying insects and rats are no exception.

In the process of leaving the planet, we were very careful not to reveal our mistakes. When he came here, he and Lilina were mixed in the slave transport ship, and passed most of the checkpoints safely by relying on their disguised identities. However, they did not have this advantage when they left. We experienced the ultimate escape from the highest military fortress, and I have every reason to believe that during this process, I and Lilina committed at least twenty crimes that were enough for agents to be shot. Mistakes, such as hitting a radar reflection area or something. If it weren't for the fact that the two of them had strong power and could rely on various cheating skills (such as disguising themselves as a piece of cosmic background radiation, which I'm good at) to get through, ordinary agents would have been exposed long ago.

It was nearly half a light-year after we left the Kingdom of God that we were sure we were out of the highest alert circle, and reported to Sandora that the mission was successful. The return transmission was started, and soon we were back on the seemingly peaceful slave donor planet.

Nothing has changed here. The small village is still living its life leisurely. The villagers with numb expressions are running around according to the program settings, and the men have gone to work in the fields. Women cook and wash clothes at home, while children spend time basking in the sun at the door, waiting quietly to grow up and repeat the life of their parents - or to be sent to the Kingdom of God before this life reaches its end, becoming a half-dead machine. This advanced race that once ruled the entire universe is now indifferent and living a contented life with nothing but food on its hands.

When we saw this small village for the first time, all we felt was surprise and confusion. In addition, we even felt that it was quite peaceful. After a whole day of activities in the Kingdom of God, we saw the peaceful daily life here again. But I felt a chill from the bottom of my heart, and the dark truth hidden beneath the peaceful contentment was chilling. This was a pasture, a farmland, a crowded chicken coop, and what was worse, it was A cruel master.

Anuzha's big house still looks the same as before, but now the door is locked, and there are as many villagers passing by the house as before. No one stopped and turned to look at this empty room: except for the expressions "God" asked them to show. These natives do not show any unnecessary emotion about anything. To them, Anuzha and Anulili no longer exist. The past, present and future do not exist. Although one day ago, these siblings were their leaders and lived with them day and night. But one day later, they completely forgot everything. Maybe no one would even remember these two. Name: Because redundant memories will occupy additional brain resources, which will bring higher costs to future "processing", the Merova people hope that the thinking of these indigenous residents will be as simple as possible, if not to prevent them from happening. Physiological degradation, perhaps Barian would even hope that these natives would not have any thinking activities at all, and just plant them in the ground like trees.

Soon there will be a new mayor in this village, and everything will continue - if we don't show up, this is the inevitable cycle, just like it has been for the past thousand years.

After Lilina and I came back, we first took a look at the situation in this village. We just wanted to see what would happen after Anuzha and Anulili left here. As a result, I didn't find anything I wanted here— —In other words, we saw something we had expected. In disappointment, we sent a transmission signal to the center of the earth base, and soon joined the people who had been waiting there. Shandora, the Anuza siblings, and Turazzo had all been waiting for a long time.

Everyone gathered together in the core area of ​​the Earth Core Base. This was a very spacious room. It seemed to be the place where Turazzo usually held meetings with other members of the resistance organization. Everyone gathered around a large round table and saw me. When Lilina and Lilina appeared, Sandora was the first to stand up: "What's the situation over there in the Kingdom of God? Have you gone deep into Barian's slave factory?"

"It's more like a slaughterhouse." When I thought of the factories discovered in the "Kingdom of Gods", I felt my blood surge, and after seeing Anuzha and Anulili, I suddenly didn't know whether I should let them After seeing the audio and video materials I brought back, my eyes finally fell on Turazzo - what happened in those bases was the work of radicals and should not be equated with the conservatives Turazzo represented. , but after all, they are all Merova people. I couldn't help but look at him twice. Noticing this look, Turazzo's expression obviously changed slightly. It seemed that he could guess that what happened in the Kingdom of God was definitely not What can make the Merova people shine?

"Let's not talk about it for now, Anuzha, how do you feel?" I waved my hand. Sitting down at the table, opposite Anuzha sat with his sister. This energetic young man, the last time I saw him was in the desolate and backward surface world, but now he is sitting in a high-tech center of the earth shelter, wearing a dark blue uniform that is common in shelters: this It was probably the clothes Anulili found for him temporarily. After all, Anuzha was an aboriginal who had been granted permission to settle here, and he had no position here. Different from the last time we met. Although Anuzha's eyes are still bright today, he is much more uneasy and reserved. He looks around like a primitive man who fell into an alien base - well, this is not a metaphor at all. It can be seen that this young man feels incredible about everything around him and does not dare to act rashly. His eyes fall on Anulili from time to time. Only the sister beside him can bring him a little familiarity and security.

This reminds me of the day I entered elementary school. I had no father or mother. I was probably in the same embarrassment when my sister brought me into the classroom: At that time, my sister was only a fifth-grade elementary school student, but I felt that she was almost Omnipotent, sister, truly one of the most powerful creatures in the world.

"Um, ah... not bad, not bad. It's weird." Anuzha was stunned for a moment before he realized what he said. He stuttered a little, more or less incoherently. He finally said it was weird. That was probably because he was looking at this. Everything about him was strange, including the uniform that he was tugging at and seemed to be very uncomfortable.

"I spent half a day telling him about this base, and gave him another day to learn about the history," Anulili said with a look of helplessness. "Like all new people... he probably won't understand it at all. It will take a long time to accept it. The only good news is that he is my brother, at least he trusts everything I say. Ahh. Now I kind of know. What happened to you, no wonder you behaved differently from ordinary people at that time...I didn't expect it at all."

I nodded and saw Anuzha clenching her fists, sitting there a little stiffly, looking at a loss at all times, so I said: "Anuzha, and Anulili, I think... I'll bring them back These things are not suitable for you to see.”

Anulili suddenly opened her eyes: "What do you mean?" She may have thought of something.

Before I could speak, Anulili continued: "I guess... it should be a very bloody scene? Are they killing humans? It doesn't matter, I can accept it - I am also a soldier, and we have the right to know the truth. As for Anuzha...he will know sooner or later."

Seeing that the other party was resolute, I didn't know what to say, so I took out the data terminal and said, "This is what was recorded after boarding the ship. What follows is what happened at the base. You should be mentally prepared."

The video material is very long, and what happened in those factories is difficult for ordinary people to imagine. Lilina and I recorded everything as much as possible, otherwise even Turazzo would probably not be able to believe that his former brother actually ordered the establishment of Such an institution. When two hours passed and the data was played, I threw the data terminal to Sandora: "There are still technical things behind. We secretly connected a copycat host. Here is the scanned basic data. You see Let’s see if it’s used to control starships.”

"There is no doubt," Sandora quickly completed the search, "I didn't expect that they used this method to bypass the permission system... It is really the same as what I casually said at the beginning. They changed the original control system of the starship The whole thing was dismantled, and they made a set of something with similar functions and installed it... They didn't crack the locks at all, but tore down the entire door."

I was very surprised: "Can the starship operating system be dismantled so easily? Isn't this a hidden danger?"

"Of course it shouldn't be dismantled so easily. The starship host has a special connection sensor. If the host is removed without authorization, the starship will directly self-destruct: This is to prevent the spacecraft from falling into the hands of the enemy. But Mei The Lowa people must have this disassembly authorization... They were the servant army of the 15th Sky Zone back then, and the Emperor of the Sky Zone must have entrusted them with the maintenance of the starship. Simply dismantle the main engine and replace the standard of the starship. Modules are very simple tasks that ordinary races can complete after learning, so back then we often delegated this kind of maintenance work that would take up a lot of load in the star port to the hands of the most trusted servant army. Unexpectedly, this turned out to be Merlo The breakthrough of the Wa people. Now we are in trouble, we really have to deal with a group of royal fleets..."

"Why would Barian...do this?"

A confused voice came from the other side, as if all the strength had been drained from his body. Turazzo had been almost forgotten by us, but now that he made a sound, we focused our attention on him again. The former leader of Melova now looked extremely old, with three-thirds of his burly body curled up on the chair, and he held his head in his hands. He kept repeating one sentence: "He actually did it to this extent?"

"You didn't know anything about this before?" Sandora's voice was cold, and I could hear the faint anger.

"I have absolutely no idea!" Turazzo suddenly raised his head, "Long before he started all this, the entire conservative party had been completely wiped out by him...otherwise he would not have started all this, because the conservatives would never I will let him do this..."

"If you let me know that you and your conservatives have even the slightest connection with these things -" Sandora looked into Turazzo's eyes, "you won't live longer than Barian!"

"I can swear on my soul!" Turazzo suddenly stood up and said loudly, and then sat down slumped, "Originally, I still had some feelings for 'them'. After all, the radicals are also our compatriots, but... they are no longer We have personally ruined the 'loyalty' of the Merova people, and now Barian has destroyed the 'martial arts' of our race. The race of Merova is finished, and there is nothing left to be proud of before. There are only thugs in the Kingdom of God... Please do it. I am no longer able to correct any mistakes, so let it fall in the flames of the old master..."

"Yes, and very soon," Sandora glanced at Turazzo, "Now you can't work, go back and rest. I hope you can adjust when the general attack starts."

Turazzo nodded and left silently.

Anulili and Anuzha didn't react until now. I don't know if the latter understands everything they saw. But Anulili obviously had the knowledge to understand these scenes. Her face was very ugly, but she finally adjusted: as she said herself, she was more or less a warrior.

"I learned about you from my mentor. To be honest, not only was it unexpected, but many things were unheard of. I don't quite understand what the Xiling Empire is about," Anulili stood up. The eyes that looked at Sandora and me were solemn and decisive. "But the mentor promised that you will end everything. I trust him, so I am also willing to trust you... If there is anything we can do, please just ask. Although we have nothing left, if we need people... There are still some!”

"Well, of course, you will be used, but not on the frontal battlefield." Shandora seemed to have plans for Anulili's race. "You should take Anuzha to rest first. It seems that he will be here today." It’s a bit much information to take in.”

Anulili nodded and led Anuza, who was still a little confused, to say goodbye. But before turning around and leaving, she still looked at us up and down, and then smiled slightly: "Speaking of which...it turns out that this Is this what you really look like? You are very... beautiful~"

After everyone else left and only a group of us were left here, Lin Xue turned to Sandora: "The general attack is about to begin. How do you plan to deal with those royal fleets?"

"If possible, it is best to avoid a head-on fight," I added next to me. "The regular Merova army is already a headache, and add an imperial fleet to the mix..."

"After Lin Xue said the prophecy that Barian has controlled the Royal Fleet, I had a plan," Sandora's lips raised. "Maybe I have to do something good this time... Since the Royal Fleet uses human brains and human beings, If they are soul-driven, then each of them can be regarded as a separate intelligent body. In this case, the mental control that was originally ineffective against battleships has become a winning weapon."

Qian Qian was immediately surprised: "You want to mentally control the entire fleet by yourself? Are you so powerful? By the way, don't you also want to help suppress the brainwashing state of other slave races? Can you be busy?"

"I definitely can't do it in this state now, so I can only unfold the glory form," Sandora breathed out, "My glory form itself is a relatively rare type used for direct combat, and its use is on the battlefield. Land. I just didn’t expect that the Merova people could actually let the empire use this kind of power... Well, they can die without regrets like this."

I was surprised, and then I felt that things suddenly became exciting: Sandora actually decided to activate her glorious form. This war can really bring people all kinds of surprises. I have only seen Sandora's glorious form once - this kind of fighting posture is not often used by the Xiling Apostles - but on that occasion, I was still impressed by the supreme power of Emperor Uracis. Now, this extremely powerful starship is about to appear again, Merova people... you can really die without regrets.

Next, we contacted the fleet at the border of the Merova Empire to confirm that the blockade was over and everything was ready to go. After agreeing on the remaining details of the general attack, Sandora set the attack time as the next morning (Empire time) ——The rising sun will tear apart the endless night woven by the Merova rebels here.
