Chapter 91
Chapter 91
Uriah seemed to have predicted everything, modified the mecha in advance, prepared explosive ammunition, and brought the queen eggs out of the wormhole at the most critical moment.
Such a smart person, why don't he take a step for himself.
Lancelot sat at the end of the long table in the conference room, waiting for the remaining seats to be slowly filled.
Only the seat next to him was vacant.
I should have been sitting there, and Uriah should have been the commander in chief.
There have been a lot of emergency meetings recently. The blowing up of the insect source was already against the strategy. After the death of the insect queen, the ordinary Zerg outside could not feel the wave band of the queen and began to be irritable. Coupled with the appearance of mysterious creatures, the battlefield, the base It's all a mess.In the past few days, representatives from various countries have almost lived in the conference room except for sleeping time.
Researchers predict that the mysterious creature that appeared in the deepest part of the wormhole will grow out of control within a month at the latest.
According to the original plan, the researchers of the Beastman Kingdom will use all the Zerg cultivation devices to cultivate the queen eggs brought back by Uriah into adults and then adjust the hormones, so that the queens will breed a small population within a month and release them again. wormhole.
But today, a week after the plan was implemented, the emergency meeting was called again.
The Zongyuan military base has received messages from the main star of the empire and many countries. A huge black matter suddenly appeared in the sky above the main star of the empire a week ago, and it is rapidly expanding. Until the communication is sent out, it has been observed by many countries around the empire. At least seven mysterious black creatures.
For a time, people panic.
The black creatures gradually grow up, covering the sun, and everyone lives under the cover of mysterious creatures every day, living in fear and despair.
"According to the current speed, it will take another month. In a few days, the dark thing will swallow this star. Let's stop wasting time here. Pack up and go home. In the last few days Have a good time."
"Our country emphasizes freedom of speech and information freedom. We tried our best to resist the uncontrollable reproduction speed of Zerg before and did not convey it, but what did we get in return! This is about to end the world, and people in our country are dying every day. There is a mysterious substance floating in the sky above, and our country's soldiers can't go back to protect them, not even a little comfort."
......
"All the ammunition shot past was swallowed by the mysterious creature. We have passed through several nuclear bombs, even
Not a sound was heard.How to fight this, just watch it grow up here and wait to die. "
"And the more the Zerg kill the mysterious creatures, the faster they grow. We are pushing ourselves into the fire pit with our own hands."
"Not only ourselves, but also dragging our relatives and friends to die together!"
"What the hell!"
"All the military forces have been sent to Zongyuan, and our country is now in such chaos that we are about to revolt."
"Now the Zerg is almost killed, or the alliance will be disbanded on the spot and go back to each family."
All the leaders or high-level leaders of various countries attended the meeting. Even these elites have accumulated a lot of grievances under the long-term oppressive environment, and what they said was not at all what they should have in their identities.
Lancelot sat on the commander's seat, looking at the chaotic conference room.
This can't be blamed on them, maybe the end of the world will be ushered in a few days, and the behavior like this now looks like a normal person.
"can."
Lancelot's voice was faint, but the entire meeting room fell silent after this lightly agreed.
General Elvis was also present at the meeting today. He suspected that he had misheard: "His Royal Highness Elliott, what are you agreeing to? The alliance is now disbanded on the spot?"
Lancelot replied: "Yes, the alliance is now disbanded, and the armies of all countries can go back."
There are quite a few people on the side of the empire, including General Foreter. She smiled and said, "I agree with His Royal Highness Elliott's decision."
General Elvis frowned, "Are you crazy? Now that the situation is so urgent, you want to disband the alliance?"
General Foreter is a rare female Alpha, but he is very prestigious in the army.
"General Elvis, take a look at the current situation. The Zerg is almost killed now, and only [-]% of the empire's troops can be loosely controlled. The future plan is that the task of the orc kingdom is relatively heavy, and it needs to be closer. It is useless for other countries to keep the cultivation and reproduction of queens, and they will eat us an extra nutrient."
General Fleet has always been very venomous, even in meetings, he did not restrain himself at all. There used to be a group of "old seniors" in the royal family who wanted to impeach General Fleet with this. A group of loyal followers, the two sides fought until the end and the matter was over. General Fred was still what he was before and what he is now.
By comparison,
General Elvis is the type that the "old seniors" like very much. He is steady, steady, and steady, and more importantly, he has a face that everyone owes him 800 million, as if this face is thrown at the negotiating table. Putting it on, the odds of winning the empire can be doubled.
"But it's not appropriate to disband directly. We need to discuss it again." General Elvis said.
Lancelot: "No, I will take responsibility for any problems. Countries can leave if they want to."
Elderly people always use "be more stable" and "think again" to delay time, because in this way they can think of a "sure-fire plan" to escape responsibility in the future, or wait until a hapless person who is willing to take the blame, this is doing things "comprehensive".
General Elvis is not wrong, or his approach is "correct", putting the interests of the empire first.
Lancelot did so on behalf of the empire rather than himself.
But the end of the world can already be seen, such considerations seem very thin.
General Fleet: "Let's end the meeting. Everyone go back to their homes and enjoy life while there are still a few days left. After all, there are not many chances of encountering the end of the world."
Everyone in the meeting was a little confused by this incident. In fact, it was inevitable that some of them just complained casually.
Unexpectedly, Lancelot really did not follow the routine and disbanded the alliance on the spot.
Some people started to get up and leave, and some people were still sitting in their original positions, lost in thought.
General Fleet even said in a loud voice when he went out: "Happy Doomsday!"
Lancelot went out to catch up with General Fleet: "Thank you for helping me out."
Lancelot didn't expect the meeting to end so smoothly. If General Fleet hadn't been on the sidelines at the meeting just now, there should have been a big battle of words.
So seeing General Foret walk out of the conference room, Lancelot got up and chased after him.
General Fleet was stopped by him and turned around: "No, I admire your style of doing things and your courage."
Seeing that he had nothing else to do, General Fleet waved his hands back: "Come on, Your Highness." After saying that, only a back and Lancelot who was stunned were left behind.
When a person has no worries and lives freely, it turns out to be such a chic feeling.
Lancelot thought so as he looked at General Fleet's disappearing figure.
Lancelot has been near the training barn as long as there is no meeting for a while, or
Watching quietly through the glass, or staying alone in the room where the cultivation barn is located, no one knows what he is doing in it.
Time will not slow down for any unavoidable reason, and the plan is going on.
But emergencies are always one after another.
The cultivation of queens requires a large supply of power stones, and the most indispensable of them is the Akushi stone from the star GW-741.
"What? You said that the mysterious biota around GW-741 has begun to devour the planet itself?" Shang Yi only received the report from the frontline reconnaissance force after the meeting.
Lancelot: "Gravity field, is there a problem with the magnetic field monitoring?"
The soldier who reported almost didn't dare to raise his head, his voice was as soft as a mosquito: "Yes..."
Shang Yi: "Speak up!"
"There is a problem! All the magnetic fields are so chaotic that artificial intervention is impossible!"
There were only a few representatives of the empire left in the meeting room, and they all showed embarrassment when they heard the soldier's report.
All the magnetic fields are disordered, it is almost impossible to land on that planet, and it is impossible to collect Akushi stone at all......
Without the Akushi stone, the breeding of the queen would be impossible.
Everyone present was silent.
After a long time, Shang Yi said slowly: "Actually, there is another way."
"What way?" asked another representative of the empire on the side.
Shang Yi: "You can 'build a ladder'."
"Take a ladder?" Lancelot asked doubtfully.
"Yes." Shang Yi answered with difficulty, "In the interstellar airspace where the Empire and the Federation meet, the method humans used when they first collected top-level power stones."
"It can't be that legend." A brown-haired officer answered, seeing that everyone didn't quite understand, he explained, "That was many years ago, when the Mecha Department was not established long ago, then At that time, human technology was not as advanced as it is now, and it was impossible to establish a counteracting magnetic field. We can only use the human brain to resist the interference of the magnetic field. It is said that it is a human ladder, but many people gather on the same aircraft and need to use mental power as a protective barrier. Resisting for a while is like running a relay."
Then someone echoed: "Isn't this going to work? Find more people, and each person will share a lot less, or one person will resist for a while and another person will continue, and I will rest for a while?"
Yet
Yi shook his head: "It's not as simple as you think. Directly resisting the magnetic field with mental power will cause irreversible damage to the human brain..."
The brown-haired officer who just explained continued: "And why is it a legend... because none of the people who took the ladder survived, and many people died directly after resisting it once. , even if someone survived by chance... they will not survive for a few months..."
The conference room fell into silence again.
"I'll take someone there."
All eyes turned to Lancelot at the end of the long table.
"Your Highness Elliot...you..."
"It doesn't matter, my mental power is 2S, and I should be able to resist the magnetic field for a longer time."
"No... I'll go..." another officer said.
"Let me go..." followed by the third.
It seems that at this time, life and death have become a little dull.
Shang Yi, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly said: "No. I still have to go." He said and looked at Lancelot, "His Royal Highness Elliott, let me go."
Lancelot looked at him without speaking.
Just listen to him continue: "You don't have to argue, you don't have as much experience as I do."
"Where did you get your experience? You can't 'build a ladder'." The officer next to Shang Yi said with a smile.
"Yes. I did." Shang Yi said surprisingly.
"When did it happen?" someone asked.
"It's the legend in your mouth." Shang Yi replied.
"Impossible. You were so young at that time, it was impossible to be sent to such a dangerous job." Someone retorted.
Shang Yi: "Yes, I was only six years old that year, and it should have been impossible to appear on that warship..."
As he spoke, his eyes gradually lost focus, and his thoughts seemed to drift far away.
"At that time, my parents were mecha engineers in the military department. I could come and go in and out of the mecha department as I was very young. The seniors in the mecha department were very kind to me. That day I accidentally fell asleep in the cabinet under the control room. ...that is, because there is one more me, each of them needs to bear a greater magnetic field force...there is the final tragedy."
"That's why I gave up the art I liked since I was a child, devoted myself to the mecha industry, and became an instructor.
Taught more excellent mecha operators, but I know this does not atone for the mistakes I have made. "
Shang Yi said, looking at Lancelot: "So Your Highness, for the sake of the fact that I was your instructor in the past, let me go this time."
He said it very lightly, but everyone present knew that this trip was almost never going back.
Shang Yi set off for the GW-741 star to perform the mission on the same day.
Alone, without a single soldier.
Because of Shang Yi, the experiment that should have been suspended due to the lack of necessary energy stones continued.
But Shang Yi also collapsed in the mecha operating room due to prolonged exposure to high-intensity magnetic fields, and never opened his eyes again.
When people unloaded the power stones enough to influence human history from the mecha, they only saw Shang Yi's last sentence on the operation panel: "I have never been afraid of my own death."
After the wormhole exploded, the first normal queen was bred, and the hormone adjustment went smoothly.
At the moment when everyone was supposed to raise their glasses to celebrate, the news from the Beastman Nation Research Institute made everyone disheartened again.
The growth rate of those mysterious creatures has accelerated again!
The reproduction speed of the Zerg is far inferior to the growth speed of mysterious creatures...
It seems that the death of Colonel Shang Yi did not bring about the slightest change in the ending of mankind...
Now you don't need to use an instrument to see the black creature floating in space.
The end is really coming.
The corridor was quiet, but right here on the fifth basement floor, countless people were having a carnival. It was an entertainment place set up for the base.
Normally only people in twos and threes come to play billiards or have a few drinks, but now it is full of people and the noise is deafening.
The empire has arranged for many groups of soldiers to return to the main planet. Anyone who is willing to leave can apply. Those left behind either have nothing to worry about on the main star, or are already desperate. It doesn't matter where they stay.
There is no military order and discipline now, even high-ranking military officers go crazy together, everyone is hysterical, as if this can vent all the regrets left in life.
Not only here, the entire empire, the entire interstellar is like this.
Everyone looked at the black giant in the sky with fear and despair.
but there will also be
excited.
The end is coming, there is no order, no law, no morality.
People can take to the streets to wave flags, speak freely, and spend their last days with their loved ones, kissing as much as they want.
You can drive to a deserted place to watch the last sunset, and do all the things you have never wanted to do.
If tomorrow is the end, all the weirdness of today seems unsurprising.
Lancelot came out of the room where the cultivation warehouse was located, and was going to check on the progress of the Zerg cultivation.
He met a familiar face head-on, and that person rushed over without saying a word when he saw him.
Raising his hand into a fist, he punched Lancelot firmly in the face.
Lancelot still stood still, but the second punch was about to land again, but the fist suddenly stopped in front of him.
The wind from his fist hit his face.
"Why don't you hide?" the man asked.
Lancelot didn't answer, just stood in front of his fist.
"Why don't you hide!" The man's voice raised a degree, and the voice echoed in the corridor.
Lancelot: "Have you lost your temper?"
The fist in front of him moved away, revealing Justu's blushing face.
Uriah had said before that he had left Justu to deal with other matters and would follow up soon, but he hadn't shown up until now.
There were not many people on duty in the military base, and no one notified Justu when he arrived.
Since he is here, he must already know about Uriah.
Justu's eyes were bloodshot: "You clearly knew that he was going to die, why didn't you stop him!"
Lancelot didn't speak, but Justu continued to shout, "You knew from the beginning that he replaced fuel with ammunition!"
Lancelot didn't speak for a long time, just being stared at by Justu.
Yeah, he knew it from the start.
Was he trying to stop Uriah?Of course he would.
But Uriah has his own ideas and ambitions, just like when he asked Uriah if he wanted to elope, he didn't want to ruin his dream of being a hero because of his selfishness.
Because he doesn't want the eagle's wings to be only under the protection of trees, he wants everyone to see those beautiful wings, and his shining morning star should be looked up by everyone in the sky.
"If you don't feel relieved, hit me, I won't hide." Lan
The right side of Sloat's face was already red and swollen.
Justu clenched his fist hanging by his side tightly: "Do you know what they said about you?"
Lancelot shook his head.
"They said that you used Uriah, and after you used it up, you found that if you want to inherit the throne, you must draw a clear line with the military represented by Uriah. Now you use this one to get rid of Uriah."
Lancelot narrowed his eyes slightly: "So you don't trust me now."
Justu: "I just left for a few days, and Uriah has become like this. How can you make me trust you?"
Lancelot pondered, "Indeed. Then don't trust me." After speaking, he turned around and planned to leave.
Justu was choked by his words, thinking why this man didn't play his cards according to the routine, and quickly caught up with him when he was far away.
Lancelot asked: "Didn't you say you don't trust me, why are you still following me?"
Justu choked out a sentence for a long time: "You are the key surveillance target now, I have to watch you before Uriah wakes up, and I can't let you run away."
That's what Justu said, but his behavior was exceptionally inconsistent.
In the next few days, Lancelot's efficiency in handling affairs doubled. If you want to ask why, it is because Justu, the adjutant, is too competent.
Lancelot didn’t go to see Uriah because Justu stared at him every day. Today, he is also looking up information in the library, hoping to hit his luck to see if there are any previous records about Zerg and mysterious creatures. Information.
"Justus," Lancelot called out.
Justu's tone was still very impatient: "Why are you calling me?"
"Help me get the fifth book from the left on the second floor." Lancelot sat on the elevated shelf of the library and directed Justu.
Justu complained, but his movements were nimble, he stepped up the gun in two or three steps, and handed it to Lancelot, "You can get it after walking down by yourself."
There was a pile of books spread out in front of Lancelot, with one book in each of his left and right hands: "I can't get away from here."
"Are you still angry?" He put the book upside down on the shelf, and took the one that Justu handed over.
In fact, Lancelot has already seen that he is not angry. It's not that he doesn't care about Uriah's injury, but that Justu himself has slowly come to terms with it. It's not Lancelot's fault. It's just that Lancelot has nowhere to vent his anger, and Lancelot has become such a bad guy.
But people beat and scold, and scold and scold, the key is to be beaten
The person who was scolded was still not angry, and Justu himself couldn't let go of his face, so he could only pretend to be stubborn, and helped him without complaint.
Justu: "Can you not be angry!"
Lancelot: "Yes."
Justu:......
After a long while, Justu said, "Do you know that the gem on the ring that Uriah gave you before was not bought from Yuan Yunlang, but we finally got it from the messiest planet between the Empire and the Federation?" of."
He seemed to be talking to Lancelot, and he seemed to be talking to himself, "Because Uriah said that the planet is the brightest star in the entire universe, and the gems I gave you must also be the best gems in the entire universe. So we headed out there."
"Star TE-009?" Lancelot asked?
"It seems to be." Justu recalled, "You should also know that the planet is located at the junction of the southern part of the Empire and the northern part of the Federation. Many forces have been entrenched all the year round. Occupied by pirates, those pirates have the most top-notch equipment in the entire interstellar world, and the power stones used to manufacture the Southern Crown and the Northern Crown came from the mines on that planet, and that small amount of power stones cost the empire almost a whole year of financial revenue."
"The energy stones consumed by the gemstone given to you are all consumed by us for a month, sneaking into their organization, and finally hacking into their system with great difficulty before entering the mine and getting that piece."
"Hey, I had the illusion of being an old father at the time. I thought you two must be stable, but that guy Uriah was so disappointing..."
"Wait, you say it again?" Lancelot interrupted him suddenly.
Justu: "What?"
Lancelot: "You said that the ring was made of power stones from TE-009?"
Justu: "Yes."
Lancelot seemed to have thought of something suddenly, and walked down in three steps at a time: "I may have thought of a way to speed up the reproduction speed of the Zerg."
